"Scott, please tell me you think something is up with her," Stiles pleaded as the two boys stared at Juno sitting with Allison and Lydia. Scott sighed and resumed eating his lunch, while Stiles kept studying her. 

"The only thing I find weird is the fact that she befriended Allison and Lydia so quickly, other than that, she seems like a normal girl who just happens to be a really fast runner," Scott shrugged.

Stiles groaned in frustration, "what if she's apart of the Alpha pack? I mean, her brother looked kind of freaky and menacing, it was like he knew we were coming-"

"He could just be over protective, you barely know anything about them," Scott whined, slightly annoyed with his best friend's infatuation with the new girl. "Look we need to focus on finding Boyd and Cora, I could really care less right now if the girl you have a crush on is a Werewolf."

Stiles shuffled in his seat and scoffed repeatedly, acting as if Scott's words were complete lies. "What? No I don't have a crush on her Scott-" The glare Scott gave him instantly cut off his words. Stiles' posture slumped, and he sighed in defeat, but didn't utter another word. The bell rang, signalling the end of lunch, causing Stiles to instantly get up and bolt over to where Juno was. Scott sighed as he made his way to English, not wanting to follow Stiles and be near Allison.

"Hey! Whassup Junebug?" Stiles greeted as he playfully punched Juno's shoulder. Lydia, Allison and Juno stared at Stiles oddly, causing his grin to fade. "We have English now..."

Juno nodded, "yeah, I know," she said, waving her timetable that she was holding. She said goodbye to Lydia and Allison and walked with Stiles through the hallway. "By the way, never call me Junebug again..." She warned.

"What about June, Juney? Juney sounds nice-" Stiles was again, cut off by a menacing glare. "Yeah, I'll just stick with Juno." 

"You seem oddly perky after finding a dead body last night..." Juno teased. 

Stiles shrugged, "my dad is the sheriff... I like helping him out on some of these cases so I guess I'm kind of used to it." 

"Do you want to be a detective or something when you graduate?" 

Stiles smiled, "yeah, catch all the bad guys and stuff. Maybe even move onto the FBI."

Juno found it charming that Stiles was into detective work. She didn't know why exactly, but perhaps there were many things about Stiles that Juno found oddly charming, though she would never admit to them. "Ambitious, but I'm sure you would make it that far," she reassured. 

Juno's smile was contagious, and brought one upon Stiles' face also. Not often would he open up about his dream of being a detective, and never would they respond with encouragement. Stiles and Juno sat next to each other, thanks to Miss Blake's arrangement on Juno's first day of school at Beacon Hills High. 

While Juno and Stiles sat together in silence, the vibration of Juno's phone caused her to jump in her seat, nearly falling off her chair. 

"Jesus, are you okay?" Stiles laughed. Juno poked her tongue out at Stiles for laughing at her. She checked if Miss Blake had arrived yet, then quickly took her phone out of her pocket.

Cyrus

Come to the hospital right after school finishes. Don't dawdle.

Juno groaned, before messaging an 'okay' back to her brother. "Maybe you should turn the vibration off if you really get that freaked out by it," Stiles chuckled.

Juno sighed, "don't laugh, but this is my first every phone, so I'm not exactly used to the noises and stuff it makes," she admitted. Stiles raised an eyebrow, how could a seventeen year old girl never have a phone before?

"You mean, like, you only got it this year?" He asked.

"A few days ago, my brother and I don't really like technology I guess..." She sighed. 

"Well I think I'm pretty tech savvy, well, I know the basics. If you want I can be like your twenty four seven tech support guru."

"Twenty four seven?" Juno repeated, "and how am I going to ask for your help if I'm having issues at three in the morning?" Juno teased. 

"By giving me your number," Stiles sang. He ran his fingers through his hair, completely trying to act smooth, but it only made Juno laugh. 

"Wow, smooth moves Stilinski," Juno teased. She turned on her phone again and sighed at the dreaded 'swipe to unlock' prompt on her screen. Her and Cyrus always hated this part, because for some reason the phone just refused to respond. Juno swiped left with her thumb over and over again. "Come on," she groaned. She put the phone on her desk, then started using her index finger, while pressing down a bit too hard on the phone, and swiping to the left ever so slowly. Stiles had trouble holding in his laughter as he watched Juno swipe left over and over again, growing frustrated each time it would sometimes work, but ultimately move back to being locked.

Stiles leaned over, and put his hand on Juno's. "You have to have a light touch," he muttered. He gently moved her hand to the left, causing the phone to unlock. Juno again could feel butterflies, and yet again, convinced herself it was a feeling given off by Stiles and not her own. Stiles leaned back in his own seat and chuckled. "Yikes, you're like an old woman," he teased.

Juno rolled her eyes, "oh shut up," she whined as she poked her tongue out at Stiles. She studied the home screen as she looked for a way to know her own number, because she had no idea what it was. She gave her phone to Stiles, "just put your number in, and I'll message you," she sighed, that's what she had done with Lydia and Allison when they asked her for her number. 

Stiles typed away in her phone, then handed it back to Juno. She stared down at her phone which was on the messaging app. She read the contact name, and looked back at Stiles with a raised eyebrow, while he looked at her with an ear to ear grin. 

"Batman?" She questioned. She looked back at the name and squinted, "wait, how'd you get that little picture of a heart?" She asked. She looked back at Stiles and glared, "why did you put a heart?" 

Stiles shrugged while still keeping a cheeky grin on his face, "because Batman is awesome, and I'm awesome, that cover it?"

"You still didn't explain the heart," Juno said bluntly. Stiles ignored her, and prompted her to message him so he'd have her number. Juno did so, messaging him: don't put me down as Robin in your phone. Stiles chuckled at the message, then typed away on his phone, adding her as a contact. 

Stiles held up his phone for her to see the contact name. Juno whined, then playfully punched Stiles' shoulder, causing him to laugh and block her punches. "I told you not to call me that!" She whined. She looked back at the contact name, which was Junebug, with a ladybug emoticon next to it. "And how'd you get the little bug picture next to it?"

Stiles quickly put his phone away once he saw Miss Blake walk into the room. Juno did the same, and looked back at Stiles, waiting for an answer. 

"That will be the first thing you learn when you take part in my tech support program."

Juno scraped off the grass and dirt at the bottom of her high top sneakers against the concrete before entering the hospital. She walked in and shivered at the smell. She hated hospitals, they always had an odd scent that was a mixture of old people, and blood. Not to mention, the vibe inside of hospitals always gave her the creeps.

She walked up to the front desk, where a woman with dark curly hair and tanned skin was working. She looked up at Juno and gave her a heartwarming smile. 

"Are you here to visit someone?" She asked. Juno looked at the woman's name badge. Melissa McCall it read. Juno wondered if she were the mother of Scott since they looked similar and shared the surname.

"Uhm yes, but not a patient. My brother Cyrus Clarke asked me to come," Juno answered. 

Melissa hummed, "Dr. Clarke never mentioned having a sister. If he's expecting you I'm sure he'll be out soon, but I can't let you wander around the hospital looking for him I'm afraid."

"She won't have to, because I'm right here," Cyrus spoke, with a smirk on his face. Melissa jumped as Cyrus arrived from around the corner. "I'm sorry I never mentioned my little sister, but I mean there's not many good stories to tell about the little rascal," Cyrus teased as he purposely messed up Juno's hair.

Melissa chuckled, "I'm sure she's a lovely girl. Go on and do what you need to do." Cyrus ushered Juno through the hospital, leading her to the elevator.

"Why'd you want me here?" She asked.

"I need to show you something. Don't tell anyone what I show you, I'm technically not even allowed to take you down to the basement," Cyrus answered, keeping his gaze on the closed elevator doors. The opened, and Cyrus and Juno both left. Cyrus was walking oddly fast than normal, which made Juno feel more uneasy about the environment and what he would show her. 

He stopped outside a set of double doors. He checked his surroundings, making sure no one saw the two. He then pushed the doors open, leading Juno through the morgue. Juno scrunched up her nose at the scent of dead bodies. There were three bodies on tables, all covered by their own white sheet. Cyrus led her to one body, then lowered the sheet to the body's collarbone, exposing it's head and neck.

Juno stared at the body of the teenage girl. There was a harsh line along her pale neck, and the back of her skull had been cracked open, exposing brain matter. Cyrus then walked to the next body, which was the body of the man Juno saw with Stiles and Lydia. Cyrus then uncovered the last body, which was another woman. 

"All three of them... Strangled, head beaten in." Cyrus said lowly. "If you look over to the man, you'll see this..." Cyrus then reached for the body's arm without removing the sheet. Juno walked closer to the body, studying the arm of the body. Her eyes moved down to the hand, where there was a silver ring, labelled 'purity'. 

Juno hummed, "a sign of chastity..." She whispered to herself. Cyrus put the arm back in place. 

"The woman, she was found tied against a tree after she was camping with her girlfriend. I may or may not have taken a peak at the sheriff's files he left unattended while he was questioning some patients. The woman was a virgin." Cyrus said. Juno wanted to roll her eyes and scold her brother for peeking at police records, but she couldn't bring herself to when she was surrounded by three dead bodies. 

Cyrus covered up the body of the man and the younger woman, then led Juno to the body of the teenage girl. "She was seventeen, recently held a birthday party. I'm only assuming, but from what we've got here, she was most likely a virgin also."

"What are you saying, these are ritualistic murders?" Juno asked.

Cyrus nodded, "precisely. I've got no clue who or what would be doing this sort of thing. You do know why people sacrifice virgins, correct?"

"As a payment to god-"

"Or to fuel one's own continued existence," Cyrus interrupted. "I highly doubt we are in a town with a bunch of crazed religious killers. If we are, then we definitely need to leave as soon as possible. I think there is something killing these people to prolong it's life, or make it more powerful." 

Juno sighed, "is this just another hunch?"

"No, I know that this town is crawling with Werewolves, who's to say there aren't other creatures here?" 

"How'd you know there's more than one wolf other than my friend from school?" Juno asked. She remembered mentioning Scott when discussing the issue of Stiles' scent, but she never mentioned Isaac or Ethan.

Cyrus sighed, "few nights ago there was a fight between two alphas and a beta. Melissa McCall and I saw the aftermath, and she tried to play off the damage as some crazed patient, but I know claw marks when I see them." 

"Two alphas?" Juno asked in disbelief, "this place really is Beacon Howls," she muttered.

Cyrus chuckled at the pun, "good one. Anyway, I need to get back to doing my job, and you need to get home. Don't let anyone see you on this floor. If anyone asked what floor you were on, just say you were on floor 3."

Juno and Cyrus both left the morgue. "By your job, are you really just going to be getting us dinner tonight?" Juno teased.

Cyrus nodded, "just meet me by the car." Cyrus and Juno then parted ways. Juno entered the elevator, where she went back up to ground level. As she navigated the halls to exit, she heard numerous loud bangs coming from one hall. She peered around the corner, and saw Stiles banging on a vending machine. Why Stiles was at the hospital also, Juno had no idea, but she decided to continue to be on her way.

But as she was about to keep walking, out of the corner of her eye, she saw the machine start to tip. It was as if time had slowed down in that very moment. Juno watched as the machine fell, and as Stiles didn't move out of the way. Juno hoped that there was no one else around, and used her supernatural speed to make it all the way to the end of the hall where Stiles was. 

Juno made it in under a second. She used one hand to push against the machine, and placed her other hand on Stiles' chest to push him back out of the way. She pushed the machine effortlessly back against the wall, causing the corners of the machine to dent and crack where they hit because of her supernatural strength. Juno slowly looked turned her head to Stiles, whose mouth was wide open in shock.

"H-how did you do that?" He managed to get out. It was beyond him, how a small girl like her managed to push the machine against the wall with so much force, and only one handed. 

"I put my hand on it, and pushed it back..." Juno said slowly as if it were obvious.

"No, y-you did it one handed! It was so fast! W-where did you even come from?" Stiles stuttered.

Juno chuckled, "what do you mean? I was standing right next to you Stiles..." Juno lied.

Stiles squinted at her in confusion, "no, you were nowhere around me! A-and you came to me in like a millisecond and almost broke the machine trying to save me-"

"Can't you just thank me for saving you from being crushed by a vending machine?" Juno spat. She wasn't unsure why she felt irritated by Stiles. Without her knowing, Juno's eyes began to glow, causing Stiles to back away slightly. Juno began to breath heavily as she could smell Stiles' blood stronger than ever. She looked down at his hand, where his palm had a cut caused by the corner of the vending machine, and was dripping blood. 

Juno stepped away from Stiles, trying to control herself and not pounce at Stiles and bite his neck right there. "J-Juno... Your eyes..." Stiles muttered. Juno could feel a pang of anxiety in her. Part of it was her own, afraid that Stiles would discover what she was, but the other part was Stiles' own emotions. He had guessed that Juno was supernatural, and here she was, eyes glowing gold like a Werewolf.

"What about them?" Juno brushed off. She closed her eyes, then opened them and looked back at Stiles. Her eyes were back to being dark brown. Stiles immediately became convinced that Juno was a Werewolf. Her speed, strength, slight anger before her eyes changed colour. Everything began to add up to Stiles, although he was far from being right.

"They were glowing..." Stiles muttered.

Juno laughed, "that was probably just the fluorescent lights," she lied. Cyrus appeared at the end of the hall, and froze in his place once he saw Juno standing with Stiles, who was bleeding. Cyrus could smell the fresh blood, and immediately rushed over to Juno. He grabbed her forearm, and dragged her out of the hospital.

Stiles watched as the two Clarkes hurried out of the hospital without a syllable uttered from their lips. Once he watched the doors close behind them, Stiles quickly fumbled through is pockets for his phone. He dialed Scott's number, and brought the phone up to his ear.

"Hey man, whats up?" Scott greeted over the phone.

 "Scott, you won't believe this..."

"What? Stiles what is it?"

Stiles took a deep breath, "Juno is a Werewolf."

Juno's vampirism will be revealed to Stiles soon!!! Aaaaah.
