Run.
That's all Lydia Martin could focus on as she ran through the deserted hallways of Beacon Hills high school. The screeching of nails against the lockers indicating that it wasn't far behind her. Her heart was beating rapidly and her legs ached with exhaustion, she was mildly impressed with herself that she was still advancing in heels. With an ear splitting roar that caused the hairs on the back of her neck to stand tall, she fell, clutching her head as the sound kept echoing and infiltrating her mind, her own nails digging into her scalp in belief she could extract the pain out. Frantic eyes looked for a means of an escape, she managed a smirk as she spotted a classroom door, and with all the energy she could muster she used her legs to push the door open and shuffle her way in.
Freeing a hand she quietly closed it and reached for one of the guns that Allison had given her, pointing the weapon at the door. She finally let out a breath that she had been holding and began to think of the others, how they were doing, if they were safe, if they got away, or were they like her right now, in some fucked up situation she couldn't see a way out of. Taking a steady breath she assured herself that they were all fine, knowing that their abilities strongly outweighed hers, being a werewolf or a hunter.
Broken from her thoughts, she heard a scuffle outside, peering through the bit of glass in the door she could see two figures in a faceoff stance, she immediately recognised one of them from the alpha pack who had been chasing her and felt her stomach lurch in fear but she pushed her old insecurities aside and focused on the new, confident her, the one that wasn't going to be pushed around by these werewolves any longer.
The couple were now clashing, as the alpha formed a gash in its opponents cheek by its long, deathly sharp claws, blood spotted the floor as it continued its assault on its victim by clamping its hand across their neck forcing them on the floor and straddling their hips as the alpha began to suffocate its victim, Lydia spotted that it was Isaac's life that was being taken away and something in her broke as she pushed through the door and aimed at the unsuspecting alpha, with narrowed eyes she pulled the trigger and watched as the wolfsbane tipped bullet ripped through the alphas side, with a painful groan it looked to its attacker and Lydia gave him a cruel smile as she aimed her gun at his head.
"Get out, or its Round 2"
Clearly getting the message, the alpha released Isaac and scowled at her.
"This isn't over human"
And with a sideglance and a snarl at its victim, it ran into the night. Lydia was able to let a shaky breath out as she lowered her gun and knelt before the blue eyed boy checking for any further injuries, her fingers went to the gash in his cheek but withdrew quickly when he winced at the contact, now with his blood staining her fingers she wiped them on her white shirt, annoyed that her designer clothes were now soiled, but her eyes softened when she looked into his eyes, clearly he was having a worse time than her at the moment.
"Isaac, are you okay?" she asked timidly, her fears for her friends safety before resurfacing.
"I-I think so, just a few cuts" he replied, still taking in the recent events, his eyes narrowed when he saw her blood stained top and panicked.
"Did you get hurt?" he pointed to what he meant.
Lydia gave a light laugh and shook her head, her still perfect curls framing her face.
"I'm just fine, the blood belongs to you"
She offered him a smile and he could only return the gesture, it was a happy moment in the midst of all the chaos and Lydia was transfixed on his face as her heart beat a bit quicker, coughing to cover it up she helped Isaac up who was able to walk on his own with his arm around Lydia's shoulder, the contact making her shiver, Thankful that they had made it to the car, she helped him into the passenger seat as they drove back to Derek's for a de-briefing on tonight, the car was silent save for the faint sound of breathing and the drumming of her fingers on the wheel. Isaac was looking out of the window, carelessly watching the scenery go by.
"Thank you" Isaac said while looking at his fingers to then glance up at her.
"Anytime" she replied while giving him a smile, and both of their eyes locked in appreciation and something else she couldn't quite put her finger on but it made her cheeks redden, so she quickly went back to focusing on driving, it was better than thinking about what those lips would feel like on hers. Everybody thought that with her being who she was, that she would be able to have who she wanted, but with him, it was different, so different, with him it meant more. Pulling up to Derek's apartment was a welcome interruption to her thoughts as she put the car into park and sighed as she helped Isaac out with minimal contact as possible and headed towards the door.
