After Jules had turned into werewolf she remembered the amount of anxiety she had creeping up on her as the days went by. The fear of her mother finding out what she was, lurking on her mind. She remembered Scott telling her one of the threats they faced as werewolves.
One of them being the Argent family. The first time Jules had felt truly vulnerable as a werewolf was when Victoria Argent tried killing her and Scott with wolfsbane. She remembered the way the gas filled up her lungs. The way she desperately tried to take in a breath as she held her neck. The way Scott tried holding her hand to tell her it would be okay.
She hated that feeling. The feeling of vulnerability, the feeling of needing someone to save her, and yet here she was. Deep in a well full of water, a burning pain in her chest due to the wolfsbane Garrett had stabbed her with. She screamed hoping someone would hear and come to her rescue. But no one came.
She was alone, slowly dying as she felt the pain spread throughout her entire body. The worst part is all she could do was wait and pray that she would be saved.

Scott knew Jules was gonna be late to school due to Stiles telling him. But when Mason came up to him, telling him about their run and how both Liam and Jules had disappeared he got this sinking feeling in his chest. Jules would've told him if she wasn't gonna be at school or she would at least have Stiles tell him if she couldn't for whatever reason. Something was wrong and he wasn't gonna stop till he figured out what it is.
Knowing Liam and Jules had a few classes together he and Mason went to talk to Coach, hoping he had seen them throughout the day. When they found him however he was visibly not in a good mood, drinking dayquil to keep his energy up.
"Sorry guys Liam and Jules skipped my class, maybe they're sick." He says as he takes another sip of his cough medicine. "Like me."
"They didn't look sick on our run." Mason tells Scott as they walk through the halls. "Neither of them are getting back to my texts." Scott says looking at his phone, hoping a text from Jules or Liam would pop up any second.
"Yeah mine either." Mason says as the bell rings. "Don't worry I'll find them, text me if you see them." Scott tells Mason as he heads to his class.Scott feeling his phone vibrating in his pocket who looks at it to see Liam calling it.
Scott answers it hoping to hear Liams voice telling him that both him and Jules are okay. But when he hears Garrett on the other end his body immediately tenses. "Where are they?" Scott asks the younger boy looking for him in the hallways. "Come on like I'm actually going to tell you that."
"I'll give you the money." Scott pleaded with him. "Yeah you will, but that's not what's gonna get you Jules and Liam back, you're gonna have to put in a little more effort than that." Garrett tells him through the other end.
"What do you want." Scott asks him.
"I want the money and Violet, or you never see Jules and Liam again."

Scott had eventually found the boy where the buses were usually parked. Garret leaning in one of them waiting for the older boy.
"Ok what do you want, I can talk to Stilinski or I can talk to my father he's an FBI agent." He tells Garret, the younger boy rolling his eyes at Scott's desperation.
"You think I want you taking to anyone with a badge. I'm not getting help from a werewolf because I want him to "talk" to someone." Garrett tells him. "Then what am I supposed to do?" Scott asks him.
"They're transporting Violet to a federal facility, you're not gonna let that happen." Garret tells him threatening him with the lacrosse stick that had the blade hidden inside of it.
"How?"
"They're going to put her in a car, we're going to follow it, we get ahead of it, you stop it." He tells Scott. "You want me to attack a car? That's your plan?"
"You're an Alpha, if you can't stop one little car then two little Betas are gonna die. I stabbed your little Betas with a blade dipped in wolfsbane, once it gets to their hearts bad things happen. And that's not the only catch, I placed them in areas miles away from each other, you can't save both Scott it's one or the other."

Jules' screams echoed in the forest. Her pleads for her brother to save her being drowned out by the wind passing through. She held her stomach, the area where she had been stabbed. It kept oozing yellow wolfsbane and she knew once it reached her heart she would be dead.
She asked herself how she let herself get caught up in this situation. If she had just stayed at the clinic with Brett none of this would have happened. And then she realized that she wasn't the only one hurt. Liam had been stabbed as well and he was probably scared out of his mind.
He was new to all this and yet here she was fearing for her own life when she should be fearing for Liams. What would they tell his parents if they weren't rescued in time? How would her friends react?
She couldn't let herself give up. So she soon started climbing up the well, trying to get a grip on the ridged walls with her wet hands. But the pain wouldn't let her succeed and she fell back down, hitting the water.

"We're taking her now." Rafael tells Scott as they walk through the door of the police station. "Dad isn't that a little dangerous I mean Garrett is still out there. Maybe we should let someone else do it" Scott please with his Dad.
"I appreciate the concern but after what happened with Katashi and losing evidence off an armored truck I'm not letting this out of my sight. But if you're still worried you should know I have Beacon Hills finest coming with us." Rafael tells his son as Sheriff Stilinski walks out with Violet, her hands held behind her back as she look up at Scott, smirking at the boy.
***
Scott had soon met up with Garret. Both boys waiting in the dark for the armoires truck to pass them. "This isn't gonna work." Scott tells Garrett as he opens a box holding a gun inside it. "All you have to do is stop the car, I'll take care of the rest ." Garrett tells him as the car passes them and Garrett gets ready to follow it.
They follow it in silence as Garrett keeps his eyes focused on the road. Scott looking at the stars just like Jules would. Even though he tried to hide it, he was worried for his little sister. Just a few nights ago he talked about how he couldn't let anything happen to her and now he was here. Helping the guy who had hurt his sister.
"There's a stop sign half a mile ahead." Garrett tells him, as Scott takes of his hoodie in distress. " So I take out the tires with my claws?" Scott asks the boy.
"Claws, teeth, heat vision, whatever just stop them. You ready?" Garrett tells him as they get closer to the truck only to see it turned over on its side. Sheriff Stilinski and Rafael on the floor. "Stop, STOP THE CAR!" Scott yells at the younger boy as he comes to a halt.
Scott rushes to get out of the car finding his dad unconscious. "DAD! DAD!" Scott yells trying to wake him up as Garret gets out of the car showing off how skilled he was with a blade. "Violets gone she's not in the car." Scott tells him, Stilinski trying to get Scott's attention.
"Scott listen to me, they're still here, they're still here." He tells Scott out of breath and bleeding. Garrett noticing the Beserker watching them from afar. "You want me, Come and get me." He tells the Beserker as he walks closer to it flaunting his blade.
"Yeah that's right you're not so big." Garrett says as another Beserker comes up behind him stabbing him in the chest and holding him up. Later letting Garrett's body fall in the floor. Scott attempts to run towards it but another Beserker makes its way towards him and stabs him in the leg and hits his head effectively knocking him out.
***
Scott soon wakes up, Deaton standing over him. "Hey there, I was actually hoping you'd be out for a few more minutes." Deaton says as Scott notices the blade lunged into his leg.
"Scott." Argent says walking up to Scott, Brett observing the whole thing as Deaton had advised him to stay in the clinic for further observation. "This is gonna hurt." Argent tells Scott as he grabs the blade taking the blade out as Scott screams in pain.
"Where's my Dad and the sherrif." Scott says sitting up holding his leg. "They're at the hospital they're both doing fine, hold this." Deaton tells him handing him a cloth to put over his wound. "It was Kate, it was her and the Beserkers" Scott tells him holding his wound.
"We know, but they move fast and they don't leave much in the way of tracks." Argent tells him. "We have to find her. She's got Violet, I think Violet knows where Liam and Jules are."
At this Brett looked up at Scott, his eyes filling with worry as he walks closer to them. "What happened to Jules is she okay?" He asks them mostly looking at Scott.
Scott wondered why the boy seemed so worried for his sister, but he played it off to him being worried because she saved him from Violet. "Garrett took her and Liam, I don't know where but I do know that Garrett stabbed them with same wolfsbane that they used on you during the scrimmage." Scott explains. "He put them in different places, he told me I can only save one, but there's gotta be another way, I have to save them both."
Brett is left speechless at Scott's words. Just a few hours ago they were talking and laughing and now she was on the verge of dying. He wanted to help but how could he? He didn't know anything about Garrett or Violet, how they worked, what they were like. That is until he realized something.
"Wait a minute, before Jules left to go on her run she changed out of her clothes, she took some of the spare clothes Scott had left in his locker and she left her dirty clothes here. I can track Jules while you guys go and find whoever this Kate chick is and Violet." He tells them grabbing the clothes Jules had left on the table and running out until Scott stops him.
"Hey! Save her okay...please." He pleads with Brett holding staring into his eyes. Brett nods at him before running out into the woods determined to find Jules.

Jules didn't know how much time had past. It had turned dark and her body shook in the water. She could feel her body become more numb as the minutes passed.
She could feel herself slowly becoming more crazy as the wolfsbane was getting to her head. She closed her eyes for a second almost letting the darkness take over but she opened them abruptly only to see another version of herself reflected in the water.
"Wow Jules do you realize how pathetic you look right now." This other version of herself asks her as Jules' eyes widen. "What are you." She asks this version of herself.
"I'm the better version of you. I'm the girl that hasn't been torn down by loss or heartbreak. I'm everything you've ever wanted to be." She says smiling wickedly at her.
Jules looks away not wanting to look at this version of herself. She could feel the tears building up in her eyes. "You think you're ever gonna be able to get out of here Jules?...No, you're gonna die here, miserable and alone. No one out there's gonna miss you. We both know Scott's life and Mom's life would be better without you." She tells Jules.
"That's not true." Jules tries to rebuttal, a hint of hesitation in her voice. "Oh but it is Jules, Scott wouldn't have to worry about you so much, Mom would have one less head to feed and take care of. You're just a burden to everyone else, you're just a problem. Maybe it's better that the people you loved most have died. That way they don't have to deal with you anymore." She tells Jules laughing at the cowering girl.
Jules didn't want to listen to her words anymore. She ignored the girl as she kept laughing. Jules looked at her wound and then looked up at the sky. She wasn't gonna die like this. She wasn't gonna let it pan out this way.
She placed her hands on the bumpy walls climbing her way up. Even through all the pain she kept climbing never looking down at the water, only looking up at the night sky above her as it got closer and closer.
Keeping her eyes on the moon and the stars, until one of her feet slipped and she was now hanging on by a thread. She could feel her fingers slipping.
"No no no please come on." She pleaded with herself. In that moment she almost let go, she closed her eyes preparing herself to fall back into the water, until she felt a warmth on her arm. She looked back up, not seeing the moon, but Bretts face as he held in to her arm pulling her out of the well and hugging the shivering girl as he moved her wet hair out of her face like she had done for him when he was hurt.
She looked up at him, studying his facial features as if it was the first time she had ever laid eyes on him and in that moment she couldn't contain her tears. He hugged her tighter as she sobbed into his chest.
"It's okay, I got you."
