To say the last two days had been weird was an understatement. Jules couldn't remember anything from before she died, it was all just a blur to her, but that was all part of Theo's plan. He slowly broke Scott's pack apart and it would take a lot to be able to fix the damage that was done. But he knew Jules would have questions and he was gonna do everything in his power to keep her on his side. He had been planning this for ages. He knew wiping Jules' memory would make it easier for him to manipulate her. He needed to make sure that in time, she would grow to resent her old pack.
"I don't understand, you want us to befriend Scott but you don't want me living with him or my Mom?" Jules asks Theo as the two walk through the woods side by side. "That would be correct." Theo tells her. "Ok then answer me this, why can't I remember anything that happened before I died? What happened to me and why do you want me away from Scott?" She asks Theo making the boy sigh. "I don't think you want to know Jules." Theo tells her looking straight into her eyes making them stop in the middle of the woods.
"Tell me."
"Scott abandoned you Jules." Theo says, faking a remorseful look as Jules is taken aback. "...he wouldn't do that." She tells him. "That's what I thought too Jules. But while you were dying he was too busy worrying about Liam, who by the end of the night tried killing Scott. He chose Liam over you, and he's not the only one that abandoned you or kept things from you. Stiles was supposed to be one of your closest friends and yet he didn't even tell you about how he killed Donavon. Or how Kira killed someone with her katana and left the body in your very own kitchen for your Mom to find. Malia wasn't even around when you were dying." He tells her as he smiles internally, a look of disappointment falling on Jules' face.
"But they couldn't...they wouldn't." Jules says in disbelief at the amount of things they had hidden from her. "Listen to my heartbeat Jules, I'm not lying...I know you probably don't remember, but I was the only one with you while you were fighting to stay alive. We were together and when you died it was like a piece of me was broken. But when I found a way to bring you back I couldn't pass up the opportunity." Theo tells her making Jules smile slightly.
"Jules I loved you, I still love you..and you loved me too." Theo says before bringing her face closer and seeing that she wasn't gonna push him away he began kissing her. Jules kissed back but something felt off, she had this feeling in her stomach telling her something was wrong. After a few seconds she pulled away, making Theo grab her hand and smile.
They kept walking but the feeling in her stomach wouldn't go away. She had this feeling that she did have someone who loved her. But Theo wasn't that person.
He wasn't her person.

"Any available units, Beacon Hills telecom is requesting an 11-5 at the communication towers off Cypress Lane." Hayden hears through the radio in Vals car as they drive through Beacon Hill. "10-4, Dispatch. I'm in the area." Val says back. "Copy, Unit 5. A technician was sent over an hour ago and telecom hasn't heard back." The officer on the other line tells her. "Copy, I'm 10-76." Val answers back.
"You gonna drag me to work every night?" Hayden asks Val with an annoyed tone laced in her voice. "If I have to." Val says to her. "You can't keep an eye on me 24/7." Hayden tries to argue. "You disappeared for three days. I'm keeping an eye on you for the rest of your natural born life." Val argues back. "I told you I was with Liam." Hayden tells her which makes Val laugh.
"Which doesn't improve your argument. Maybe you think you can do your own thing now. I don't care. You still need me. We look out for each other, remember? For all I know, you could have been dead." Val tells her making Hayden stiffen. "Stay here." Val tells her as she gets out of the car and walks into the communication towers.
Hayden stood alone for awhile until she heard something behind her, which turned out to be a concerned Liam. "What are you doing here?" She asks him as she crosses her arms. "I sent you like 100 texts." Liam tells her.
"I saw."
"You saw? That's it? How could you not tell me that you're alive? That Jules was alive?" Liam tells her as he feels his anger rising. "Maybe because you left us for dead." Hayden says annoyed. "You were dead." Liam argues making Hayden scoff. "Liam, you need to go." Hayden tells him before being interrupted by a noise that came from the communication towers. Both teens turning to see a giant beast standing a few feat away from them. "What the hell is that?" Hayden asks Liam as the beast approaches them. "Run. Hayden, run!" Liam says as he grabs her hand making them run through the forest.
"What is that thing?" She asks as they run faster by the minute. "I don't know! Just run!" Liam tells her as they reach a cliff. "Jump." He tells her. "Are you kidding?" Hayden asks looking back to see the beast coming closer and closer. "We can make it. Come on." Liam says, the two teens jumping, both of them feelings the air beneath their feet as Hayden lands in the other side with Liam hanging on the ledge. "See, I told you." Liam tells her as the beast watches them. "Do you trust me?" Liam asks her.
"What? No."
Hayden didn't get a chance to argue as Liam grabs her arms and pulls her down making both teens fall down the cliff. Liam landing on his back as Hayden lands on top of him. She sees his eyes closed and decides to check if he's okay before leaving him. "What are you doing?" Liam asks her finally waking up. "Making sure you're alive." Hayden tells him. "Oh, I can't move my legs. Argh, I think my back's broken." Liam says feeling the pain in his back
"Will it heal?" Hayden asks him as she was in a hurry to get back to Val. "Eventually. I think." Liam tells her as he continues to feel the pain. "Good." Hayden says to him as she begins to walk away. "Whoa! Where are you going?" Liam asks her as he tries to move. "To find my sister and make sure she's okay." Hayden says in a 'duh' tone. "You're going to just leave me here?" Liam asks in disbelief. "You pulled me off a cliff. I'm lucky I healed." Hayden says back to him.
"If you're gonna leave me here then at least tell me what's wrong with Jules. Don't think I didn't notice the weird look she gave Brett the other night. It was like she didn't even recognize him." Liam says to her making freeze. "Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you." Hayden says to him. "Hey! you owe me. I saved your life." Liam yells at her as she begins to walk away. "This time." Hayden retaliates. "Who saved it last time?" Liam asks her.
"Theo."

It had been a few hours and Jules was left alone after Theo went to help Tracy with finishing off her Dad. She had climbed up onto a tree to look at the stars when she noticed Hayden walking through the woods. "I thought you were with Val?" Jules yells out catching Hayden's attention. "I got a little distracted." Hayden says back as she jumps up landing next to where Jules was sitting.
"You okay you seem kind've...out of it." Hayden says as she notices the weird look on Jules' face. "I cant remember anything from before I died. And I asked Theo about it and he told what happened...but it doesn't feel like the whole story. I mean I listened to his heartbeat and he wasn't lying. But something still feels off, it's like I'm missing this piece of myself and I wanna figure out what it is but I don't even know where to start." Jules rants to the darker haired girl.
Hayden looked at the girl not knowing what to say. She knew everything Theo told Jules was a lie and all she wanted to do desperately tell the girl in front of her that she had someone out there that loved her, but Theo saved her life. Val wouldn't be able to live if she knew Hayden had died. She couldn't put her sister through that.
"I think maybe death took its toll on all of us. I know everything seems confusing right now but...Theo saved us, so we should trust him." Hayden tells her, Jules smiling at the words Hayden had told her and turning her head back to look at the stars.
Hayden couldn't even believe she had just done that. She blatantly lied to the girl in front of her and all her her own benefit. She had hoped Jules would figure it out on her own. Because Hayden didn't know how much longer she could keep lying to the girl.

After finding out there had been a weird animal attack at the communication towers, Scott and Stiles were the first ones on the case. They had gone over there to see what had been going on and how the technition that had been attacked even got there in the first place if the security camera showed that nobody had entered there the whole day.
Scott had to put his feeling over Jules aside and had to continue on with his life even though he felt an emptiness in his heart. "What is that?" Stiles says as they notice writing in the wall. "It looks like Latin. Hold up that light. I'm gonna get a picture of it." Scott says as he pulls out his phone. But he couldn't even take pictures as Stiles was the worst at keeping the camera still. "Stiles, hold the light still." Scott tells him, not noticing Tracy had scratched Stiles' neck, making the boy fall to the floor.
Tracy then tried attacking Scott, however he got the upper hand when he grabbed her arms. "Scott, behind you!" Stiles yells out noticing Josh was behind him, ready to attack until Scott maneuvered Tracy's hands into Josh chest making the boy fall next to Stiles. "Sucks, doesn't it?" Stiles asks Josh as Scott growls at an invisible Corey.
"Okay! Maybe they're not ready to take on an Alpha. Especially one that can smell fear." Theo says referring to Corey who didn't even attempt to attack Scott. "He's got fangs." Corey says trying to defend himself. "What did you do?" Scott asks him after seeing all the Chimeras who were supposedly dead. "I found some new friends. I don't take rejection well. And not only that Scott but I think there's someone here to see you." Theo says, Jules walking out as her eyes begun to glow red. Scott feeling his heart drop as he sees his sister very much well and alive.
"You're alive?" Scott gasps out, noticing her red eyes. "Like you care." She says to him with vile in her voice leaving Scott dumbfounded. "Enough with the sibling reunion. You're going to leave here thinking that you need to worry about me. But you're wrong. We're actually back on the same side. Because that thing...that's what we need to worry about. Your pack and mine. We're gonna go back to school and pretend like we're normal teenagers, but at night, we're going to be fighting for our lives." Theo says referring to the beast Val had encountered the other night.
"What is it?" Scott asks Theo. "It's not a Chimera." Theo answers him. "But it's just a kid underneath. Someone like us." Scott says in a defensive tone, making Theo smirk as he begins to leave with the rest of his pack. Theo putting his arm around Jules and turning around to smirk at Scott.
"Not anymore."

Jules had been left alone once again when she decided to go for one of her nightly walks. It had been going smoothly for awhile and she didn't fail to notice the presence behind her. "What the hell is wrong with you." She hears a voice say from behind her. Jules turnedaround to see that same boy that had given her a weird look the day her and Hayden reported the bodies.
"You come back to life and what? You don't think to come and find me?" He tells her leaving her confused. "For Gods sake Jules say something!" He says almost yelling. "I'd say something if I knew who the hell you were!" Jules says in a defensive tone, leaving the boy confused. "What the hell are you talking about?" The boy asks her stepping closer to her only for Jules to take a step back.
"Look I don't know who you are, or what you want but I'd really appreciate if you left me the hell alone" Jules tells him as the boy nods his head in confusion. "Jules...it's me, It's Brett, your Brett!" he says as he directs his hands to himself, only to have Jules nod her head, still not knowing who the boy was.
"Jules" Brett whispers out. "Jules please I don't know what happened or what's wrong but please don't push me away, let me help. Jules I love you." Brett rants to her, hoping that would make Jules realize who he was but to no avail.
"Look I'm sure you're a very nice guy but I think you have me confused with someone else, I'm not the girl you're looking for. Someone loves me and I feel really bad because I can't remember him and that's really my only priority right now. I'm sorry...but I don't love you." Jules finishes as she walks away leaving Brett in a shocked state.
Two days ago he had been wallowing in his room due to her death. And now he was here in the middle of the woods, falling on his knees because the girl he loved, didn't love him back.
