Chris Argent waited for his daughter to come home. It was 5 am, and the full moon should have been over. Then Allison came in. She was shaking and she looked like she was about to throw up.

Chris Argent asked, making huge assumptions, "Who went feral last night?"

Allison responded, "Huh? Oh um, well Isaac s-sort of." She definitely looked green.

Chris said, "The wolfsbane mixture didn't work?"

Allison said, "It stopped his body, but not his mind."

Chris's eyes went wide. He inquired, "Are you ok?"

Allison said, not really answering the question, "It was scarier that he didn't change. When he went wild as a wolf, he didn't really look human. A human is disturbing when it goes so feral. Danny and I restrained him all night."

Allison's father said, "The drug is a temporary solution. Isaac's mind needs to be put back together."

Allison said, "What if we can't?"

Mr Argent said gently, "Derek will find a way." He then gently hugged her.

Allison then went to get an hour of sleep before school.

Danny was having a harder time than Allison dealing with what he had seen. How could quiet, unobtrusive Izzy have something so violent within him? And he had no one to talk to about it. Jackson hadn't seen it. What could Danny possibly do for someone so very broken?

Danny was dead tired when he got to school. He was thankful it was only once a month he had to stay up so late. And by late, he meant go at least 36 hours without sleep.

Allison definitely looked less tired than Danny felt. He briefly wondered if they had a supernatural creature in their lineage. He decided that he should never actually ask, because that would most likely result in him being assaulted for insulted the Argent Clan.

He went up to her and asked, "How are you?"

Allison responded, "Dead tired and scared. How about you?"

Danny replied, "About the same. I'm gonna go talk to Isaac. Talk to you later, kay?"

Allison nodded her head as he headed off.

He found Izzy at his locker. Danny said, "Hey Izzy."

Isaac was surprised that Danny wanted to talk to him. He said, "He-hey Danny. Um… I'm sorry for ev-everything l-last night."

Danny shrugged his shoulders and said, "You weren't yourself. Don't worry about it." Danny was definitely happy Derek hadn't taught Isaac how to detect lies. The Pack lied to him pretty frequently, trying to improve his self-esteem.

Isaac said, "But I bit you, and scratched you."

That was all Jackson heard from around the corner before becoming infuriated. To him, it sounded like they had wild, kinky sex under the light of the full moon, while Isaac was drugged up. Danny had no excuse.

Danny then caught up with Jackson and said, "Hey, man." Jackson wasn't quite ready to come out, so there relationship was a secret.

Jackson said angrily, "Hey."

Danny said, "Man, I was up all night. Don't be pissy with me. Your… 'period' was yesterday. Consider this my pissy day."

Jackson said, rolling his eyes, "I'm sure you were up all night, with 'Izzy'. If you told me you wanted something kinkier, I would've obliged."

Danny was officially confused. He said, "What? I spent all night holding down a rabid boy."

Jackson said, "Oh, he was rabid. That good?"

Danny said, beginning to get what Jackson was saying, "The drug didn't work all the way. Isaac was human, but not in the head. He bit and scratched me and Allison while you guys were out running. Ask Allison if you don't trust me."

Jackson looked apologetic. He then said, "It wasn't a huge leap. You and Isaac seem to be getting close. He lets you touch him and you have a pet name for him."

Danny laughed and said, "I figured out a way that he lets me touch him. You just have to lean against him without putting weight on him. It's actually quite difficult. And he likes to be called Izzy. He isn't strong enough to tell people what to call him, but he told me he liked it, so I call him that."

Jackson said, "I'm sorry for making assumptions and not trusting you, again."

Danny, not exactly thinking clearly due to him being at hour 25 of being awake, leaned in and kissed Jackson.

Jackson was surprised by the kiss, but he kissed back.

Mr Harris walked by and said, "You know school policy on PDA, boys."

The couple then broke the kiss, and blushed. Around 2 dozen people had seen the kiss. Danny said, "Sorry for dragging you out of the closet."

Jackson responded, "It was more enjoyable that way."

Derek knew what he had to do. He didn't like it, but it was his only really option. He had to do it to save the pack.

He dialled the number he found in the phone book.

"Hello, you have reached the office of Dr Simmons. How may I help you today?"

Derek responded, "I need to speak with the good doctor. Tell her Derek Hale is on the line."

The receptionist said, "She is currently with a patient. Do you want to be put on hold, or have her call back later?"

Derek said, "Hold, please."

He was then put on hold. He waited for a few minutes, and then heard, "Derek is that really you?"

Derek said, "Yes, Clarissa. It's me."

Clarissa said, "I heard through the grape vine Hale Pack is back."

Derek said, "Yes, it is and aligned with the Argents."

Clarissa said, "I can't be your therapist. It would be a violation of ethics. You'll have to take your grief counselling elsewhere. I know a few good…"

Derek interrupted, "It's not for me. I have a kid in the new Pack that needs help."

Clarissa said, "How bad, and why must it be me?"

Derek said, "You know about werewolves and other things. And it's bad. He's more shut down than I was immediately after the fire."

Clarissa said, "I'm booked for at least 3 weeks."

Derek said, "I should have guardianship by then."

Clarissa said, "You're getting guardianship? God almighty, this kid must be bad."

Derek replied, "He's a good kid. Just horribly abused."

Clarissa said, "How about April 20th. I have a couple hours available that day."

Derek said, "Can he have them all?"

Clarissa asked, "Why is it so desperately important?"

Derek said, "His human and wolf are 2 different entities. He only shifts when I or the moon forces him, and when he does, he is no longer home."

Clarissa said, "I'll reorganize my schedule. I think I can give him an afternoon. I'll try as soon as possible, only because of the immediate danger, and not because of who you are."

Derek said, "Of course. Laura would have hated it if you gave anyone special treatment."

Clarissa said, "I have another appointment to get to. I'll speak to you soon."

He quickly gave her his number, and she hung up.

Oddly, I have nothing to say about the story right now.

Next up, The Sheriff goes on a date.
