The sound of the door shutting kept echoing in Isaac's ears. Time moved in slow motion as he turned and saw the door closed, walked over to it and tried to turn the handle. Locked. Isaac tried it again, his movements more panicked than before. "Come on, come ON!" he screamed.

He felt the familiar touch of Scott's hand on his shoulder. "Isaac, hey, look at me."

Isaac shook his head and rattled the doorknob again. Since the door was obviously locked Isaac slammed his whole body against it repeatedly. Tears were starting to form in his eyes and his claws were starting to appear. Scott grabs Isaac's shoulders and looks into his eyes. "Look at me. You're okay, I'm here and I won't let anything happen to you."

Isaac let himself break down in front of Scott; thank god that it was Scott in here with him. "Get me out of here." He moans between sobs. "I need to get out of here."

Scott hears Isaac's heart rate increase and his breathing become more rapid. In order to avoid having Isaac lunge for the door, Scott pulls him into a tight hug. "Shhh, you'll be okay. I'm here. Take a deep breath and calm yourself down."

"I-I-I c-c-can't." Isaac chokes out. More tears cascade down his face.

Scott pulls away and grips Isaac's shoulders firmly. "Yes, you can. You can do anything Isaac. Breathe with me, okay?"

Isaac gives a faint nod and follows Scott's instructions, deep breath in, deep breath out. Just as Isaac starts to return to normal the lights go out, enveloping the room in total darkness.

Scott hears Isaac's heart pick up speed again. "Scott?" Isaac screams through a fresh wave of tears.

Scott feels around for a moment before finding Isaac's hand. "I'm right here." He whispers.

Isaac collapses to the ground and huddles into Scott. "I'm scared." He moans.

Scott holds him tight against his body. "I know. It's okay, I'll keep you safe."

Isaac grips Scott's arm like it's his lifeline. "Get me out of here." He whispers. Then louder, "I can't take it!" Isaac leaps out of Scott's lap and find the door in the blackness. He slams into the surface multiple times. "Let me out of here!"

Scott doesn't need to see Isaac to know that he's absolutely terrified. He can practically smell the fear rolling off Isaac. Before Scott can say anything, a deep growl comes from his left.

Isaac, now in wolf form, jumps at Scott and pins him to the floor by his shoulders. Scott manages to shake him loose and roll away. Judging by the growls Scott guesses that he only has a few moments before Isaac takes another swipe at him. So, Scott dives forwards and tackles Isaac. Isaac uses the momentum to keep them rolling across the floor. Scott feels a slight pain in his shoulder as Isaac bites him, but he ignores it. Soon enough the two boys slam into the wall and knock the entire shelf, and it's contents, right on top of them. Isaac jumps of off Scott, startled, and disappears in the shadows.

"Isaac?" Scott says into the dark. "I know you're scared but-"

"Scott?" Isaac whimpers from the corner of the room.

Scott slowly walks towards Isaac's voice. "Hey, don't be afraid."

"B-b-but th-this is h-how it w-was with my d-dad." Isaac says.

Scott finally reaches him and cuddles into the terrified boy. "Your dad isn't here anymore, he can't hurt you."

Isaac puts his head on Scott's shoulder. "I know, but," he shivers, "this is too much like those times."

Scott intertwines fingers with Isaac. "Hey, I wasn't with you before, but I'm here now and I'll do anything you want."

Isaac stays quiet for a moment and then, "Hold me?" he requests.

In response Scott puts his arms around Isaac and pulls him even closer.
