"Hey mom, since you actually have a night off for once and Scott's out doing whatever it is that he's doing, why don't I go rent some movies and we can have a movie night?" Izzie asked as soon as her mom walked through the door.

"You know, that actually sounds like a good idea. Horror or romance?"

"Romance," Izzie said quickly, "I'm not really in the mood for horror tonight."

"Sounds good to me. Here," Melissa said tossing the keys, "don't take too long."

"I'll be back in twenty minutes tops," Izzie said already walking through the front door.

Izzie drove to the video store and let out a giggle when she saw Lydia and Jackson arguing in her car. She shook her head, just thinking of all the possibilities that the argument could be about. She went into the store, picked up some movies, and laughed when Jackson came in asking for help to find the Notebook.

"What are you laughing at?" Jackson asked when he heard Izzie.

"It's in that aisle over there romeo," Izzie said pointing, "wait, what is that?" she asked squinting her eyes at the floor of the aisle she was pointing at. Izzie followed Jackson as he slowly walked over to see what it was.

Izzie stifled a scream when she saw that it was the worker, with slashes all along his neck.

"Izzie, go," Jackson said while trying to push her back. It didn't work so well, as he ended up making her head hit a ladder, which made it fall and caused all the lights to flicker.

"Nice going," Izzie hissed quietly at Jackson, rubbing the back of her head. He turned around to tell her to be quiet, but all he saw were red eyes behind her. Without saying anything he grabbed her arm and pulled her down one of the aisles to hide from what he just saw.

"What are you doing?" Izzie whispered, the fear evident in her voice.

The next thing Izzie knew, there was a bunch of crashing and DVDs falling. Jackson pushed her out of the way, but before he could get himself out of the aisle, the rack fell on his legs.

"Jackson," whisper yelled trying to get him out.

"Don't. Just go," Jackson said, hearing the creature behind him.

Izzie back up but when she saw it she froze. She watched as the alpha stood over Jackson and looked at his neck. Then it looked at her with its red eyes, and it was all Izzie could do not to scream. At walked towards her, causing her breathing to become so heavy and fast that she didn't even feel like she was getting any oxygen at all. It stared at her curiously before finally running away through the window. She stayed where she was for a few more seconds before she snapped back into reality.

"Jackson, what do you need me to do?" She asked in order to help him.

"It's fine, I got it," he said crawling out from under all the DVDs, "are you okay?"

"Yeah, my head just hurts is all. What the hell was that thing?" Izzie asked, trying to figure out what all Jackson saw.

"I don't know, you got a better look at it than I did," he snapped.

"Don't get snippy at me," Izzie snapped back, "we should probably go out and check on Lydia."

Izzie went to walk, but stopped when the room started moving.

"How hard did you hit your head?" Jackson asked, trying to steady her as they walked out of the store.

"Hard enough to knock a freaking ladder over," she said holding the back of her head.

Turns out Lydia had already called somebody by the time they made it out of the store. An ambulance was there about five minutes later, followed closely by, by Sherriff Stilinski.

"Great just what I need," Izzie muttered from her seat in the ambulance.

"Why can't I just go home? I'm fine," Jackson yelled at the Sherriff.

"The EMT's just need to look you over and make sure. And you," he said pointing at Izzie, "I told my son to stay in the car. How do you expect him to listen to me when you're sitting here in an ambulance?"

"Believe me Sherriff, if I could have avoided it I would have. And you really should let Jackson leave. I was the one that got hit in the head, not him. He's fine," Izzie said trying to help Jackson out a little bit. She would probably be a lot worse off if he didn't push her out of the way when the alpha knocked all the movie racks over.

"I understand that but-"

"Obviously you don't if you're still standing here talking to me," Jackson started to yell, Izzie clenched her eyes shut and covered her ears. The yelling wasn't doing any good for her headache.

"Is that a dead body?" She heard Stiles ask as soon as Jackson finished yelling. Everybody looked over to where he was pointing, while the Sherriff just shook his head.

"So what happened to you?" Stiles said, walking over to sit next to Izzie, "Are you going to be okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine. I barely escaped without a concussion. But I do have a wicked headache at the moment."

"Do you want me to drive you home?" Stiles asked.

"That would be nice," she said giving the keys to Stiles, "then you can explain what happened to my mom."

Stiles drove her home, and as much as she wanted to hang out with her mom, she was just too tired to. She had gone up to her room and tried to go to sleep before her mom even got the whole story that Stiles was telling her.

She had a restless night, every time she finally fell asleep, she would have nightmares of glowing red eyes, and for some reason spirals, and it would cause her to wake right back up. When she woke up once again around three in the morning, she sat up and knew sleeping would be hopeless. She looked over when she heard a knock on her door, and sighed when she saw Scott open it.

"Are you okay? I could hear you heart pounding from my room," he said walking over and sitting next to her on her bed.

"Yeah, I'm fine. It's just been a really long night," she said resting her back against the headboard.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect you. Derek and I didn't get there until after it happened," he said looking down.

"It wasn't your fault, how were you supposed to know that the alpha was going to attack the guy working at the video store the same time I decided to go? I saw it you know, the alpha. It looked right at me, and then just ran on by," Izzie said looking straight ahead.

"I think you should talk to Derek about this," Scott said looking at his sister.

"I'm sure he's going to come find me eventually. Now the miracle would be if I could get some sleep between now and then."

"You can't sleep?" Scott asked.

"No. Every time I finally fall asleep I see those red eyes, and they're a pretty scary sight to see. It keeps waking me up," Izzie said, still staring ahead. She debated in her mind if she should tell Scott about the spirals, but she figured it wasn't anything to be concerned about. It was probably her mind trying to get away from the eyes she kept seeing.

"Do you want me to stay with you?" Scott asked, breaking her from her thoughts.

"If you wouldn't mind," Izzie replied softly. She was glad though, that she was actually able to sleep for the rest of the night.

At school, it was hard to ignore the looks that everybody was giving Izzie. Every time she looked up from what she was doing, somebody was looking at her. Being in chemistry class didn't help any matters either. Mr. Harris was droning on about conferences, and pointedly looked at Izzie when he asked where Scott was. Before she could say anything, Jackson came in late, and surprisingly took the empty seat next to Izzie.

"If you two need to leave class early for any reason, just let me know," Mr. Harris said. Izzie and Jackson just nodded, and Harris went on with the rest of his teaching.

That was how the rest of the day went. People looking, wondering what exactly happened, and teachers telling Izzie that she was basically off the hook for the day. As soon as the final bell rang, she was on her bike and on her way to Derek's house. She knew he was going to want all the details from the video store. When she got to the house, she threw her bike on the steps and walked through the doors.

"Nice tattoo," she said when she saw him doing pull ups on one of the door frames. She frowned when she realized she liked the view way more than she should have.

"I'm not telling you what I told Scott," he said, continuing to do pull ups.

"I wasn't even going to bring that up, but since you mentioned it, why not?"

"It's nothing you need to concern yourself with," he said dropping down from the door frame and turning to look at her.

"You told him something about the Argents, and something about me. I should at least have a right to know what you said about me," Izzie grew more frustrated with every word.

"If a time comes where I need to tell you, then I will. But until then, you don't have to worry about it. What did you come over here for?"

Izzie sighed, knowing she wasn't going to be finding anything out soon.

"I thought you would want to know what happened," Izzie said softly.

"I tried to get something out of Jackson, but that didn't really go over too well."

"I don't think he saw anything other than the alpha's eyes from across the store," she said walking over to the staircase and carefully sitting on it.

"And what all did you see?" Derek said sitting next to her.

"A very ugly creature with a staring problem."

"A staring problem?" Derek repeated.

"Yeah, it just stared at me and then it ran away."

"It didn't hurt you or come after you? Didn't I see you sitting in the ambulance after it happened?"

"That wasn't because of the alpha. When we saw the body, Jackson was trying to push me so we could leave, and he kind of pushed me into a ladder."

"So you both could leave, or so you weren't in his way?" Izzie rolled her eyes when she heard the slight anger in Derek's voice.

"I would have been a lot worse off if not for him. He pushed me out of the way when the movie racks fell. Believe it or not he does think of somebody other than himself."

Instead of saying something, he just looked at the door, then back at Izzie with an unreadable expression.

"How well can you lie?" he asked quickly.

"I'm pretty decent at it? Why?" Izzie looked at him with a worried expression.

"There are hunters coming. You need to hide, but they might find you. So when they come in you're going to have to be prepared to say something so they don't know that you know about me."

"You want me to lie to hunters," Izzie shrieked while she jumped up from where she was sitting, "they might kill me!"

"Well they might kill you just the same if they find you and you say that you're a friend of mine."

"But what are you going to do?"

"Catch them off guard."

"But what if they don't believe me?" Izzie asked, going back to her previous concern.

"Izzie. If they try to hurt you, I'll stop them. But it will be best for everyone if you can get out of this without them knowing that you know about me."

"Why do bad things always happen to me? First hunters, then an alpha, and now its hunters again," Izzie rambled on as she paced back and forth.

"They're coming. You better get ready," he said before disappearing down a hallway.

Izzie groaned in exasperation before hiding behind a chair. She held her breath when she heard the door open.

AN: Because I don't like how the last chapter went, I tried to get a good one out as fast as possible. I have a few things going on for the next few days, so I'm not sure when the next update will be.

Review?! :)
