Am...I dead...?
Justin feels...ok.
He wonders if he's dead now as he remembers letting the darkness take over him, welcoming it in open arms. The last thing he remembers is being beaten up and shot by a robber trying to take his shit...
...Before the robber was knocked out by someone.
And then, he recalls seeing that person try to help him
You're gonna be ok.
He remembers that voice telling him he'll be ok.
And then, he saw bright red eyes starring into him.
It's all Justin remembers.
Wait...am I actually dead?
Justin thought to himself as he begins to register what he's feeling right now.
He feels a blanket placed on him and laying on a bed.
Definitely, Justin is not dead.
Apparently, he's alive.
Justin slowly opens his eyes, being met with a ceiling fan that's all the way above the ceiling. He begins to feel uneasy as he doesn't remember being in bed last night, especially when he literally was just under the heavy rain.
He slowly turns his head to do left and sees another bed and door open that looks like to be leading to the bathroom. He also sees a desk with what looks to be a laptop on the desk and whatever stuff is there.
It took a moment for Justin to realize that he's inside some motel room.
How the fuck did I get here...? Justin frowns as he doesn't know how he got here.
Justin turns to look at the other side to see two men eating together at the small table that's next to the motel window, bright sunlight shining through.
He begins to feel even more uneasy.
"We know you're awake." one of the men speaks. It catches Justin offguard.
How the fuck does he know I'm awake?
"Don't be afraid..." the other man replies and both men turn to look at Justin before the same man continues.
"We're not going to hurt you. You're ok."
"Who the fuck are you? And how the fuck am I here?"
"You were looking pretty much in deep shit back there last night. Luckily, we were driving by when we heard the gunshot. We saved you and took you with us and now here you are." said the other man, who looks to be 20 years old. He gets up from his seat and picks up a plate with 3 pieces of bacon and a sunny-side up egg that was on the center of the small table and walks to Justin. He hands the food to Justin.
"Here. You look like you never ate in your whole life. You must be hungry as hell right now."
Justin is hesitant at first, but takes his food nevertheless. And it is at that moment, Justin realizes he is hungry as fuck.
He begins to savour his breakfast, this is the first time in a long while since he enjoyed a proper meal since he has been on the streets for three months. With every bite from his breakfast, he can't help but feel really grateful to be able to eat this much.
"Damn, you're really this hungry huh?"
"No shit I am hungry."
"So you're homeless." the other man asked.
Justin nods "Yeah, I am."
He finishes his breakfast and places the plate by the side table next to the bed and turns to look at both men.
"You uh...didn't have to give me breakfast, but...thanks..."
"It's on the house."
"I'm serious, you guys didn't have to-"
"Dude, shut up. You look skinny and thin that you're gonna turn into a skeleton if you don't eat. So, yeah, you really needed to eat." said the 20 year old man.
Justin sighs as he gets up from his bed and stands up. He notices something's off...
He feels...good.
Like he has energy.
Like he doesn't feel weak now.
Weird...I feel...really good right now... Justin thought, but just brushes it off and proceeds to get his bag.
"Anyway um...I'll just head out now...Thanks for the hospitality."
"You're leaving, dude? What the fuck."
"Where are you going?"
"I don't know. Just stroll around this town, whatever. Really, thanks, but I don't feel like staying here nor do I want to cause any trouble."
"You can't leave." the man stands up and goes near the door, his face showing worry.
"And why the fuck not?" Justin frowns in confusion.
The two men look at each other in worry.
Justin deeply sighs, "Look I really appreciate the concern, but I don't know you two and this is getting really fishy right now, alright? Now can you just let me leave?"
"No." The man stands right in front of the door, blocking Justin.
"Move or I'm going to have to beat the shit out of you."
The man raises an eyebrow, "You sure you want to do this?"
"So I can get the fuck out of here, yes. Now would you please get the fuck out of the way!" Justin tries to get around the man, but he continues blocking.
Oh, fuck this. Frustrated, Justin tries to push the man out of the way, but he stands his ground. Justin barely pushed him at all.
"You're not leaving."
"Fucking try me!" Justin starts to feel his anger beginning to take over, unaware that his anger is also making him feel more than angry.
Like he wants to rip the man's throat out. Literally.
Justin, once again, pushes the man and this time, he did, but not enough for him to be out of the way.
"Dude! I'm serious! Get the fuck out of my WAY!"
"Um...Scott?"
"I'm really sorry about this."
And before Justin knows it, everything went dark.
Scott knocks Justin out cold, his body falling back on to the carpet floor.
Scott sighs in frustration.
"Oh, fuck me..."
"Well...what a warm welcome." Alec comments.
"This is really serious, Alec."
"I know. Well, so how are we gonna tell him?"
Scott sighs again, "I don't know. But, he can't leave. Especially with the full moon happening tonight."
"I swear to God, why is it that you have to bite him on the night before the full moon?"
"Because he was dying, why else?"
"We could've just brought him to the hospital."
"He'll be dead before we even reach the hospital, Alec."
"Well, shit." Alec collapses onto the bed as Scott goes to sit beside him.
"If you're wondering if I knew the risk, yeah I knew. And I am taking it, if it's to save this guy's life."
"I know, Scott... I know..." Alec looks up at Scott.
"It's just...how is he even going to take this? He'll definitely think we're crazy or something."
"I know. But we have to tell him." Scott and Alec turn to look at Justin's knocked out face.
"This guy really does look young..." Alec comments.
"Yeah... He is... He looks...16... Maybe like us."
"Like us?"
"When we were bitten, we were 16 at the time."
"Oh. Right, I remember."
Scott, knowing that if he is to help the guy, he'll have to go get the chains and restraints from his van to keep him inside and not let him leave.
"If we're to make sure he goes through the full moon without leaving and killing people out there, we might have to chain him and keep him inside the bathroom for the whole night."
"Oh come on. How am I supposed to take a shit if he's gonna stay there?" Alec whines.
"Alec. There's a restroom that's just downstairs, you're going to be alright."
Alec shakes his head in annoyance, "Fine then."
Out of nowhere, they hear a sound coming from Scott's laptop.
It's a Skype video call...
...from Stiles.
Scott turns at Justin's unconscious body, Oh shit.
"Alec, we need to hide him. Carry him over to the bathroom." Scott and Alec quickly grab and carry Justin, Scott holding his arms while Alec holding his legs. They carry him all the way to the bathroom, lies him inside a bathtub, and closes the shower curtains as Scott hurries back to his laptop. He didn't think Stiles would call him at this time since he and Scott have been too busy with their own lives, but it has been a long while since they last chat together, so it's nice that Stiles decides to call him, just it's a pretty wrong time. Scott doesn't want Stiles and the others to worry about the fact Scott ended up having another Beta when they're not trying to cause any noise that yell supernatural to attract unnecessary attention, especially when this isn't too much of a big deal.
He'd tell them eventually, just when the time is right.
Scott takes a deep breath as he accepts his best friend's call. His laptop screen flashes to Stiles's Skype profile picture before Scott sees his best friend's face in his screen, live.
"Eyy! Scott!" Stiles enthusiastically waves with both his hands, a cheerful smile across his face.
Scott laughs in amusement, feeling happy to see his best friend, "Hey, Stiles. What's up? Didn't expect you to call right now, especially from all the way across the country."
"I know, which is why I'm doing a surprise call. Figured you're not busy right now."
"Yeah, what about you? Aren't you busy right now in the FBI at the moment?"
"Not at the moment, no. Just have a lot of paperwork." Stiles sighs in boredom, "Not much happening at this time that would alarm us and pull me out of this paperwork. And since it's a free day for me today, thought I'd take a chance to call you amd check out how you're doing." Stiles winks at Scott, making Scott softly giggle in amusement.
"I really appreciate it, bro. Thanks."
"So, Scott. How's life been doing for you?"
Scott shrugs, "Nothing much. Just driving around treating family pets and reassuring kids they'll be ok. And Alec's figuring out how to get started with his life and go to college."
"Can see that, seems like Alec's still with you right now."
"Yeah, he is. How about you? How are you doing in D.C. and how are you and Lydia?"
"As I said, nothing but paperworks. Honestly feels pretty boring just sitting behind my desk and just brainlessly do paperworks. As for me and Lydia, we're doing great, really great. She's out right now, busy at work, but we're going to have a date night later today. So yeah, we're doing good, Scott."
"That's great." Scott warmly smiles at Stiles, who mirrors his expression as well, looking back at Scott. Stiles and Lydia's relationship have continued to flourish for years now, with the couple now living together. They aren't married yet, but Scott knows it'll only be a matter of time until Stiles will eventually tell Scott he's planing to propose Lydia in the future. He feels happy for them being together for so long and happy for his best friend that he manage to maintain their relationship beautifully.
He wishes he could do the same for Allison, Kira, or Malia. Allison is dead, Kira is doing God knows what, whether she's still training with the Skinwalkers or she manage to complete her training and return to the world, busy with whatever she's doing in her life right now, and Malia is in Paris, Scott and Malia decided to remain friends as they aren't capable enough to handle long-distance relationships yet. So now, Scott is single. Scott would be lying to himself if he is feeling pretty jealous for his best friend for having a girlfriend now and will eventually be his wife.
"I gotta admit though: I'm jealous of you guys right now." Scott and Stiles laugh together.
"Oh you are, Scott. You are. Although I'm sure you'll find someone eventually."
"I know. I'm just not looking at the moment. Too busy being a vet and a dad."
"Figured."
The two best buddies continue chatting together, talking about how they each have been doing since the pack split, reminiscing old times back when they were in Beacon Hills, wondering how life would be like if the supernatural didn't exist, and bunch of random stuff. The two enjoying one of the only moments where they are together, acting like the teenagers they used to be before they grew up as young adults. How time surely flew since then.
"You ever thought of checking on Liam, Scott?"
"Huh... Now that I think of it, I haven't yet."
"Wow, you're such a caring father right now, Scott."
"Oh shut up, dude" Scott laughs, "I've been too busy. Although, now that you mentioned it, I'll check on Liam, see how he's doing. He probably still misses us, but I'm sure he's doing good back in Beacon Hills with Mason and Corey."
"Hahaha! I'm kidding, bro. Although to be serious, don't you miss Liam as well as the rest of the pack?"
"Of course, I miss you guys. And you know what, maybe we can all hang out some time."
"I'm down for that."
"Down for what?" a woman's voice is heard from Stiles's end, Stiles turning to his right to see who spoke, a smile coming out of his face as the woman appears on screen and the two kiss each other.
"Well, hello there Ms. Lydia Martin." said Stiles.
"Hello, Mr. Mieczyslaw "Stiles" Stilinski." Scott's eyes widen in amazement, hearing Lydia pronounce Stiles's full name correctly for the first time.
"Oh my god, Lydia, you don't have to keep rubbing this in my face, especially when in front of my best buddy. We get it, you know how to pronounce my first name." Stiles shakes his head in amusement, giggling.
"I know." Lydia giggles as she turns to look at Stiles's screen, meeting Scott's face. She gives a warm smile.
"Why hello, Dr. Scott McCall."
Scott shakes his head, laughing, "Hey, Lydia. Long time, no see."
"I know right. It's been forever."
"Why are you home early, Lydia?" Stiles asks.
"Oh, I'm off early from work today. Which means more time for us." Lydia smirks at Stiles.
"So what were you guys talking about?"
"Just agreeing that we'll find time for us to hang out together, you, me, Scott, Malia, Liam, Mason, Corey, Alec, and maybe some others who were in the pack before."
"Oh, I am so down for that. We should be able to find time for us to come together."
Stiles and Scott nod in agreement as Stiles and Lydia turn to Scott.
"Anyway, since Lydia's here, looks like we'll be having our date night earlier than expected."
"I know. Time to leave you two lovebirds together."
"Oh, shut up, Scott." Stiles laughs with Lydia and Scott laughing as well together.
"Take care you guys." Scott waves goodbye at Stiles and Lydia as they also wave.
"Take care, brother."
"See you later, Scott."
"Scott..."
"Yeah...?"
"It's awesome talking with you again after a while."
"Yeah...me too..." Scott smiles warmly at the couple.
"And dude, should ever something comes up. You can always talk to us. We're still a pack, together. We're here for each other."
"I know. Thanks, Stiles."
"No prob, bro. And say hi to Alec for us."
"Sure thing, man."
And then, their Skype call ends, leaving Stiles and Lydia to get themselves started and ready for their date night.
Scott sighs as he leans back in his chair. He realizes now that he misses his pack a little, just he's been too caught up with life to ever feel it. Scott notes to himself that they'll figure out how they'll be able to meet up. The window is very small since their schedules could depend on whatever they're doing right now in their lives, but it's something still really doable. It's not impossible at all.
Then, he shifts his focus back to the situation he and Alec are in right now. He begins to feel anxious, but he doesn't let it bother him as he stands up and heads to the door, leaving a "DO NOT DISTURB" sign hanging on the doorknob outside to make sure people don't get too curious or what in going to their room.
"Hey, Alec. Stiles and Lydia said hi."
"Yeah, I've heard. Thanks." Alec calls out from the bathroom, who was keeping en eye on Justin in the bathtub, still unconscious.
Scott turns to the small table by his bedside and picks up his phone. He turns it on and goes to his contacts, scrolling down to his contact list and stops at the name "Chris Argent". It has been a long while since he last called Chris for help, especially when he's been living his life normally with no supernatural disturbances. He still finds it weird now that he's now his stepfather, which makes it feel like Scott is calling help for dad. It really weirds him out, but he's eventually learning to get used to it.
He hopes that Chris won't be scolding him for biting and turning someone to werewolf, especially when he had no choice since he needed to save the person's life. Although Scott knows Chris cares for him, it's still pretty weird for Scott that he's now his stepfather.
He stares at his phone for a bit before sighing and begins to text.
Hi, Mr. Argent. Sorry to disturb you right now, it's been a while. Need help right now. Please text me back ASAP.
Scott patiently waits for his reply. It only took a moment until the three dots appear in his phone screen and his message appear im view.
Hi, Scott. What do you need help with?
Please come over to Oakland right away, right now. Need help in taking care of someone I had to save by turning him. Full moon is coming up. Please come right away.
Scott deeply breaths, worrying how Chris will reply and react to what Scott did. The three dots appear again and Chris's message comes out.
Will be there as soon as possible.
"Nngh..." Justin groggily groans, feeling his head aching.
He tries to reach up to his head with his hand, but he feels both of his arms being bound to both of his sides. His eyes flutter open and he only sees darkness, he can barely see where he is, but guesses that he must be in some bathroom.
He then looks himself and sees what's keeping his arms bound: his body is completely wrapped in strong and cold chains.
"Huh?! W-What the fuck?!" Justin hopelessly tries to struggle out of the chains when he sees another chain that's leashed to a pipe. He realizes that he's wearing a collar around his neck, leashing him.
Panic begins to surface in Justin as he tries to figure out how to get out of those chains.
FUCK! Justin curses at himself, wondering how the hell did he get into this mess.
As he continues to hopelessly struggle out of the chains, he hears a door on the right open, finally filling in some light into the dark room. Justin turns to see a man standing by the door, he could barely see the man's face as he turns to switch the room's lights on, illuminating the whole bathroom. Justin finally sees the man's face, he recognizes him as he angrily glares at him.
"You're awake."
"What the fuck is this?" Justin angrily huffs.
"We can't let you leave."
"Yeah well, no shit cause I'm leashed like some fucked up rabid dog right now!" he furiously tugs the leash that's holding him.
"Look, we're sorry, but this is the only way for you to get through the night without killing people." the man walk towards Justin.
"What the fucking hell are you talking about?!" Justin gets confused and it only pisses him off more.
"What do you mean I'm going to kill people?!"
The man deeply sighs, pinching his nose bridge before he turns to look at Justin in eye, a concerned look all over his face.
"What's your name?"
"Fuck you!"
"I'm Scott. Well, I'd say it's nice to meet you, but this moment isn't really a nice one."
Justin scoffs "Whatever."
"Really kid, what is your name?" Scott continues to look at Justin with a really worried look.
Justin looks into his eyes and he can see the man is really genuine.
He hesistates for a bit, but he eventually answers "...Justin."
Scott deeply breaths as he speaks to him.
"Justin... What I did to you... What I did to save you... It's...it's going to change you."
Justin stares with a really confused look.
"What the fuck do you mean it's going to change me?"
"You're..." Scott trails off, trying to find the words to spit out the truth of what Justin has become now.
Goddamit, Scott. Why do you still have a hard time saying this until now?
"I'm what? What the fuck are you telling me?"
"You're a werewolf." Justin and Scott hear a voice and turn to see the other man having just entered the room now.
"You're a werewolf, Justin." the man looks into Justin's eye, his stare hard and intense.
Scott sighs and gestures to the man behind him, "This is my Beta, Alec. Alec, meet Justin."
"I know." said Alec.
Justin looks between Scott and Alec with a suspicious look.
"I'm a what?"
Alec sighs in annoyance, Is this guy fucking dense?
Scott replies, "You're a werewolf, Justin. As in, half man, half wolf."
"A werewolf." Justin scoffs with a sarcastic smile. He looks down and shakes his head as he humorlessly laughs and looks up at Scott and Alec "A werewolf, right. I'm a werewolf." His face then turns into a cold glare.
"Right um...can I ask you a question? Is this some kind of sick and fucked up joke?"
Scott and Alec look at each other with a worried look, they both know this isn't going to be easy to tell and expect the person to believe them before they turn back to Justin.
"If it were Justin, you wouldn't be here."
"Fuck you! Whatever you're telling me is bullshit!"
"I know it sounds crazy, Justin, but you gotta believe us. It's the truth."
"Right and do you know how I feel about your "truth"? I feel like I'm held captive by a bunch of sick nutjobs who have the balls to chain me up for whatever fucked up reason!" Justin violently tugs the chain leash, a subtle growl coming out of his mouth. His anger beginning to take over him.
Scott and Alec start to feel an nerving sensation, but they know that feeling all to well as they look up at the small window to see that the full moon is emerging out of the clouds.
"Shit. Scott. The full moon is coming up." Alec whispers at Scott. Scott and Alec already know how to keep themselves in control under the full moon, should be ok for them.
The same cannot be said for Justin as the two turn to look back at Justin, his glare turning even darker and more intimidating.
"Let. Me. GO!" Justin roars loadly at them, continuing to furiously tug the leash. His anger beginning to grow more violent.
"I don't know what the hell are you talking about and I don't fucking care! If you don't let me fucking go, I SWEAR I WILL-" a sudden surge of pain invades Justin's head. The pain is so indescribable that Justin starts to consider that he'd rather suffer a drug withdrawal over whatever is fucking him up. He would bring up his hands to hold his head, but the chains prevent him from doing so and could only suffer in agonizing pain. He falls on his back as he cries out in pain, painful tears slipping through his cheeks from his shut eyes. His hands claw on to the the bathroom floor, his fingernails having turned into claws and begin to scratch the tiled floor.
"Oh, God." Scott goes to Justin and tries to hold him "Justin-"
Justin snaps up and roars at Scott, baring his fangs, his once warm greenish blue eyes have been overtaken by piercing golden yellow eyes staring down into Scott's. He claws onto Scott on both sides, making Scott hiss in pain.
"LET ME FUCKING GO!" Justin roars. It's becoming concerning at this point since his roars could be loud enough to disturb anyone in the motel.
"Justin!" Scott's face scrunches in pain, feeling Justin's claws stabbing into his sides. "Stop!" Scott tries to pull away, but Justin's hold on him is too hard, so he headbutts Justin hard enough to knock him off. His grip completely loose and Scott manages to pull away from Justin. He snaps back up again and snarls at Scott and Alec, his humanity now replaced with an animalistic instinct of bloodlust. He violently tugs his leash once again as he continues snarl at the two.
"Scott, the leash and chains will hold him right? They're strong enough?"
"They should be. Otherwise..." Scott turns to look at Alec, "We'll just have to restrain him. Just...make sure we don't cause any collateral damage in this motel, we don't want to attract any attention."
"Fair enough. Uhh...any idea where Mr. Argent is? I think we'd really need his help right now to restrain him."
Scott checks his phone and texts Chris.
Where are you right now? Full moon is happening. Not sure if we can keep him inside for too long. Please reply NOW.
Scott puts his phone away and looks back at Justin, who's still trying to lunge out at them, but the leash only holding him back.
As time goes by, Scott hasn't gotten a single reply from Chris, the full moon still progressing. As every second ticks by, Justin grows stronger and more violent, now furiously tugging the chain leash repeatedly. His ferocious yellow eyes piercingly glaring into Scott's.
After what felt like it had only been an hour or God knows how long as they lost track of time, eventually, Scott's and Alec's worries come true as the chain leash holding Justin down begins to break off.
"Uh...Scott."
"I know. Get ready. Just restrain him, we're only going to keep him down." the two werewolves stand up and readies themselves for Justin. They bare their werewolf fangs and flick their claws, Scott's eyes flashing crimson red while Alec's golden yellow. Both of them snarl as Justin manages to break away from the leash and eventually, the chains that wrapped around his body breaks off. He does a ferocious roar at Scott and Alec, with both of them returning the gesture at Justin. Justin lunges at the two and they fight.
Scott throws Justin at the bed, but he quickly gets up and lunges back at Scott, pushing him back and slamming him on the wall. He attempts to slash Scott in the face, but he manages to dodge the slash and retaliates with a headbutt, knocking back Justin, tumbling backwards and bumping into Alec, who knocks him down to the ground.
Alec holds Justin down to grown with his arm, "Stay down, dude!". Alec punches Justin in an attempt to knock him out, but it only enrages Justin more and overpowers Alec, knocking him down to the ground and switching their positions, Justin now above Alec and about to slash Alec to death. Just as he's about to slash Alec, Scott knocks Justin off with his elbow, but not before Justin snaps at Scott and yells out with a beastly roar and lunges at Scott again, pushing him at the door and easily knocking it down. Justin manages to knock Scott into the ground and tries to slash him again with both of his claws. Scott couldn't avoid both of them and his face ends up getting slashed, leaving bloody scratch marks in his cheeks.
However, Scott manages to grab both of Justin's hands and yanks him down into his head, knocking a breath out of Justin before he grabs him and tosses him over, not aware that he just throwed Justin off the balcony and he falls onto a black SUV.
Oh fuck Scott realizes in horror of what he just did and quickly gets up with Alec following behind to look down to look for Justin.
Justin is nowhere to be seen.
"Shit. He's gone." Alec exclaimed.
"Don't worry, I already caught his scent." They turn to head towards the stairs when they heard through their werewolf hearing a couple of gunshots, they come to halt and look at each other, both knowing it could mean trouble so they hurry to the stairs and proceed to go downstairs where they met with a man hurriedly walking up. The man looks up and meets Scott's and Alec's vision.
"Scott. Alec."
"Mr. Argent, where have you been?" said Scott.
Chris sighs in guilt, "Had to go through a traffic jam. Didn't expect it to be bad.". He turns to Alec, "How are you doing, kid?"
"Never better." Alec shrugs.
"Anyway, we need to hurry. The kid's loose and about to go on a rampage." Scott, Alec, and Chris run down the stairs and head to the black SUV.
"Alec, you ride with Mr. Argent."
Alec nods as he gets in the front seat while Chris turns the engine on.
Scott hurries to his motorcycle and starts the engine.
Now in a fiery and animalistic instinct, Justin runs through the dark alleys of Oakland. The rain drenching him wet, his face stained in blood and his tattered and worn out shirt bloodstained.
He had hunted down around the town aimlessly for hours, but never spotted a single human being in the streets.
He looks around, snarling while baring his fangs. His yellow eyes scanning through the alley. His bloodlust invading his mind. His human conscious completely overtaken by his wolf instincts, craving to do bloodshed out of instinct.
Through his werewolf hearing, he hears an SUV and a motorcycle, he catches three scents of them, all of them he recognizes and runs away, trying to avoid and escape his pursuers.
He jumps into different alleys, lurking in the dark shadows to hide.
He keeps on running.
And running.
And running.
Avoiding himself from getting caught and chased down. His only instincts right now is to run, hide, and kill whoever he sees in his sight.
Run. Hide. Kill. Run. Hide. Kill. Run. Hide. Kill. Run. Hide. Kill. Run. Hide. Kill. Run. Hide. Kill.
It's all the thoughts that're running around in Justin's mind cause of the influence of the full moon and his werewolf instincts. He's become a mindless beast, a killer predator. Who is careening through the rainy night in the dark alleys of Oakland. The only thing he has on his mind is bloodlust. An urge to hunt and kill prey. It's all Justin could feel. It's all he could crave. It's all he is addicted to right now and the only thing he is addicted right now. An addiction a lot more thrilling, but deadlier than drugs.
And he doesn't even know it as the influence from the full moon and his werewolf instincts have clouded his conscious.
After what seems like an endless running through the dark alleys, Justin finally catches a glimpse of a man, trying to invade what looks to be a young homeless woman.
"Please! Just leave me alone!" the woman cried.
"Come on, girly. It'll be fun!" the man grins, his smile scaring the woman all the more.
He overpowers the woman and attempts to tear off her pants to get inside her.
She screams out in horror, struggling to break free from her rapist.
The sight of a man attempting to rape the woman triggers Justin. In his eyes, he sees the man Bryce and the woman Jessica. The sight of seeing Bryce about to rape Jessica triggers Justin, his anger and bloodlust skyrocketing, and his vision turns blood red. He roars in fury, stopping the rapist from doing what he was about to do and looks up to see Justin, scaring him off.
"Oh, fuck." the rapist yelps as he quickly gets up and runs away, trying to escape from being caught and taken to the authorities. At least that's what he thought. Leaving the homeless woman alone, he disappears around the corner as Justin rushes down the alley. The homeless woman sees Justin sprint towards her, panic and fear covering her face as she tries to crawl away from him, but her back hits the window and realizes too late that she's at the corner as Justin catches her and looms over her.
The woman whimpers in fear, now staring at Justin's beastly face, his piercing yellow eyes shooting down in her terrified eyes.
"N-No! P-Please!" she cries.
She covers her face with both arms and ducks her head in fear as Justin, out of animal instinct and bloodlust, raises his claws and attempt to slash her to death.
Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill.
His beastly conscious yelling in his head as he bares his fangs and about to kill his prey.
The girl ducks her head, covering herself with both arms, screaming, and Justin sees his wet reflection in the window.
He catches sight of his reflection in the window and stares down into it. He sees his own face, his own monstrous face. His sideburns longer and now going beyond his ears until the bottom edges of his face. His teeth now filled with sharp fangs. His nose bridge until his forehead between his eyes morphed into a more beastly form.
And his eyes...
His own eyes...
His greenish blue eyes gone and replaced with a sharp and piercing yellow eyes.
The sight of his own reflection snaps him out of his bloodlust, letting his human conscious come back, a loud thunder adding into the feeling of realization of what he's turned into. His beastly anger in his face is replaced with horror as he looks down to his hands and sees his own claws that are about to be cover in someone's blood. He stares back at the woman, seeing her terrified eyes, and steps back with shuddered breaths.
As he steps back, an arrow flies past beside his head and strikes a wall, the arrowhead exploding into a blinding flare light, a flash bolt arrow. The flare blinds Justin and he cries in pain, bringing up his hands into eyes, covering them and attempts run away into the streets.
Chris runs down into the alley, his crossbow in hand, with Alec and they check on the woman to see if she's ok.
"Are you alright?" Chris asks.
The woman nods, telling them she's alright.
"Ok, I'll call for emergency, will stay to keep an eye on her. Alec, you go after the kid."
"Ok." Alec nods and is about to run off.
"Wait!" Chris brings up a device from his pocket and hands it to Alec, "Take this. I manage to set a trap at a nearby park. The kid looks like he's running there. It should stop him."
"Wow. You really came prepared." Alec smiles in amazement.
Chris smirks back at him, "Always. Now go. Scott should be able to find him as well."
Alec goes back in pursuit for Justin and is in the rainy streets leading to the park. At just the right moment, Scott arrives on his motorcycle, "You found him?"
"Yeah, he's heading to the park. Chris must've set traps there." he hands the device to Scott and he recognizes it, "Ultrasonic Emitters."
Scott keeps it in his pocket and gestures Alec to ride on the bike, "Come on. We need to get there fast."
Alec hops on to the bike behind Scott and hold on before Scott accelerates and speeds to the park.
Scott is very determined to help Justin, the situation feeling all too familiar. The time when he had bitten Liam to save him from falling off the roof deck of the hospital and when he had to help Liam go through the full moon and help him as he had no one who could trust to help him learn control his werewolf powers. He saved and helped Liam.
If he can do that with Liam, so with Justin.
With a solemn look, he continues to speed down to the park.
It didn't take long for them to reach the park, Scott and Alec managing to catch Justin's scent, meaning that he's at the park as what Chris predicted. The two get off and run looking for Justin in the park. It wasn't long until Scott and Alec reach a grass field and see a circle of Ultrasonic Emitters.
And in the center of the circle, is a young man on his knees, covering his ears, squirming and crying in pain, the sonic emitters scrambling his head and ears painfully. They finally caught up to Justin.
Scott brings out the device in his pocket and presses the switch to the emitters off. He and Alec walk down to the grass field and Scott brings a hand up to Alec, telling him to stay put and let him handle this. Alec obeys and lets his Alpha go to Justin, giving them some space.
Scott stands in front of Justin, who is still on his knees, his head hanging low, and his breathing shuddered and trembled, quivering.
Justin brings down his hands and looks down at them to see that he no longer sees his claws. He continues breathing heavily as he looks up to see Scott towering over him, feeling puny and weak.
"Are you alright?" Scott gives a concerned and solemn look as he kneels down in front of Justin, Justin looks down to a puddle in front of him between him and Scott to see his reflection. He sees his own face that is no longer that of some monster, seeing his own scared face, especially in his wide eyes, now back to his own greenish blue color.
He slowly looks back up to Scott with teary eyes, his feelings mixed with fear, lost, anger.
He whimpers with a shuddered breath, "W-What the fuck have you done to me?". Scott takes a moment before he answers, "I saved your life.". Justin exhales in anguish "S-Saved me?", he begins to break down, "Saved me?! This is how you saved me?!". He feels bad for Justin, and he knows this isn't something easy for Justin to handle.
"You shouldn't have saved me!" Justin cries out in agony, tears now flooding down his already wet face, the tears mixing with the raindrops in his face before they fall to the ground along with the raindrops. "You shouldn't have saved me!" he repeats, sobbing. This hurts Scott more, from the looks of Justin and how he's reacting, it's clear that the guy isn't happy with what he has become and how he doesn't want to be saved. It hurted Scott, he doesn't know who the person is, but he doesn't leave people to die. He knows that no one really deserves to die, especially when that person looks helpless and homeless. He wouldn't let the person die all alone in the dark, with no one there for him.
"Y-You shouldn't have saved me..." Justin repeats again, his breathing more quivering and shuddered.
Keeping himself together, Scott asks, "Why...? Why shouldn't I save you...? Why shouldn't I help you...? You need help. You need OUR help." Scott gestures back at Alec to Justin.
"I don't. I don't deserve your help. I-I don't deserve anyone's help."
"Why...?" Scott becomes sadden of Justin being self-destructive.
"I-I'm not...a good person. I...I fuck things up... What I do. What I've done. You wouldn't help me if you know."
Justin looks back down to his reflection in the puddle, his tear-stricken face looking back at him as he looks back up and continues, "And what you've done, you only made it worse. You t-turned me into something else. You turned me into something worse than I was. You turned me into-"
"A monster."
Justin's eyes begin to well up with tears again as a sob escaped from his mouth, "I've always been a monster. I...I've hurt people. I-I cause too much trouble. I-I fuck everything up. And you turned me into a bigger monster!" Justin grits his teeth and exhales in anguish and hurt.
Despite all the hurtful words that Justin said, Scott stays diligent with a firm look, "I don't know you. I don't know you at all. I don't know what you have went through and what you have done. But I do know one thing...". Justin looks up at Scott again, his eyes red and puffy from crying, and his breathing still trembling and quivering, the look of despair and sadness all over his face, as Scott continues, "People who are hurting and in need deserve help. And no one deserves to die. No one deserves to die all alone with no one there to help, be there." Scott shakes his head, swallowing back as he continues to be firm and diligent. "And you're wrong. What I turned you into? You're wrong." he grabs both of Justin's shoulders and slowly stands up, slowly bringing Justin up with him, not resisting Scott's hold and letting himself weakly get up while looking into Scott's face with his still red and tear-stricken eyes.
Alec can hear Scott the entire time while standing back, watching him help his Beta. He smiles as he listens to the familiar quote that Scott has said to Liam and Alec himself before them when he came into their lives. He's proud that the man before him is his Alpha, more so that he's a True Alpha.
"You're not a monster, Justin. You're a werewolf." Scott gives a warm and caring smile at Justin, his hurt and hopeless look in his face softening as Scott finishes while he flashes his brown eyes into strong crimson red eyes.
"Like me."
Alec steps in, standing beside Scott and gives Justin a reassuring smile while also flashing his eyes with shining and golden yellow eyes, "And we will help you."
"So let us help you, Justin." said Scott.
"Let us help you."
Justin does not say anymore, don't know what to say to them, but the despair in his face disappears and begins to sob again, he doesn't know why or how the hell do they care for him when's only just some homeless junkie, especially when they do not know what he's done that put him here today. He still isn't completely sure if he can trust them, but they're the only ones who can really help him learn his newfound werewolf abilities that he has been apparently granted, a gift that he doesn't need, want, nor deserve at all. He isn't even sure of whether it'll really help him at all in his already fucked up life. He doesn't know what will happen. And it scares the fuck out of him. But if he is to figure this out, he'll have to need Scott and Alec's help.
With nothing else to say, Justin shakes his head in acceptance and weakly sobs, "Ok..."
He coughs and sniffs as he repeats while he tries to wipe away tears in his eyes and cheeks, "Ok..."
Scott and Alex nod as Scott wraps an arm around Justin, who let's him do it without resistance, as the rain slowly dies out.
Justin, Scott, and Alec walk back and leave the park, with Chris waiting for them in his black SUV that's park next to Scott's motorcycle.
Justin isn't so sure of what's going to happen, but he knows one thing for sure.
He's in safe hands.
