I stood staring at myself in my full length mirror in my purple dress with matching flip-flops and a small black handbag and a black beaded necklace with my blue bikini underneath ready for the late night swim. I pulled my hair into a clip that held my curls back and heard leaves crush in the woods. He was almost here. I grabbed my phone but heard someone climbing the tree outside my window. I stopped at my door and watched the window when a head popped up. I walked over to the window and held it shut.
"Go away Derek. I'm about to go out" I told him as I flicked the lock shut. I could hear Isaac was almost to the door. If he didn't leave soon I would call out for my brother who had already told the girls about his strong dislike for Derek Hale.
"Don't go out with him. Come with me for a walk" he asked. I scoffed and then spun when I heard a knock at the door. I looked back at Derek who glared at me before I did it.
"Cain. Get rid of Derek" I called out and then ran downstairs and opened the door so reveal Isaac holding a single rose. A smile grew on my face and I held my hand out for the rose, he gave it to me along with a peck to my cheek.
"What was that about with Derek?" he asked looking at the top of the stairs to see Cain dragging Derek by his hair towards the front door.
"I told you that I don't like you and so you sneak to my sister's window and try to get her to stand Isaac up. Get the message and leave" Cain growled warningly and then ungraciously tossed Derek to the forest floor. Isaac and I watched and I smirked. Isaac turned back to Cain and I.
"Thanks" Isaac smiled at Cain who nodded and extended his hand.
"We haven't been properly introduced; I'm Jaimee's older brother Cain. You must be Isaac" my brother said with a strong handshake exchanged between himself and Isaac. Isaac looked so nervous as if my brother would toss him out too.
"Nice to meet you" he nodded and I looked between them worried about the same thing.
"I've been watching my sister for a few days now and you seem like a good guy, just don't break her heart of I'll break your neck" Cain warned casually and I sighed.
"Let's go Isaac before my brother scares you off" I smiled and gently pushed Isaac out the front door. We turned around after that and walked to the new Chinese restaurant.
We sat in our own booth away from everyone else. I placed my bag on the seat beside me and looked up to see Isaac smiling at me, his eyes shining as bright as the shining sun. I blushed and looked at my lap before looking him again. The waiter came over and sat down two glasses of water, got our orders then left quietly. Isaac and I nodded thanks and then our eyes met again. We both blushed this time and damn is Isaac cute when he blushes and stutters!
"Okay so before we turn into beetroots or tomatoes we should probably start talking about something" I told him and he nodded.
"You look beautiful tonight" he told me. I looked down at my dress and smiled.
"Thanks. You look nice too" I told him acknowledging his dressy shirt. He smiled. "Not to spoil the mood but what happened in the janitor's closet? Was that your dad's cause? You mentioned he was terrible" I said. He sighed then looked me in the eye.
"My father used to lock me in an old freezer and beat me whenever he felt the need to. I used to get so beat up that he would make me stay home from school until the bruises healed. Because of him I can't stand small spaces. What about you? Your dad seems like an asshole" he asked. I scoffed with a chuckle.
"Up until I was five I was beaten. Then when I was five I heard that Cain was dead and I ran off and accidently killed a man" I explained. Isaac's face went from saddened to shock and horror. "You-" he started but I shook my head.
"I was a five year old werewolf that got upset and scared on the night of a full moon" I told him. He sighed and nodded.
"I understand losing control. What's your anchor?" he asked with curiosity. I smiled.
"My brother" I grinned. "You?" I asked. He shrugged.
"My dad" he replied. I have him a curious look before nodding.
"How he used to be" I said with understanding. The waiter walked up to us with our orders and set them down on the table.
It was an unforgettable date. We ate and talked about happier things like how I met my betas and how he became friends with Scott, Boyd, Erica and Derek. I sat back once I was finished and the waiter came past and picked up our empty plates and handed us the check. I stood up and excused myself to the bathroom. I could still hear the waiter at our table.
"Excuse me sir but you have a very beautiful lady there and you are a very lucky man" he told Isaac who smiled and nodded.
"I know. She's amazing" he replied and I smiled like a crazy person. All of a sudden I felt like someone had just scratched at my brain and my heart. I gasped in pain and ran back to Isaac.
"We've gotta go...now" I said between taking deep breaths. He looked at me baffled by my sudden outburst then got up and handed me my bag.
"What is it?" he asked. I took a deep breath.
"Hope, she's in trouble. I think she may already be dead" I told him. A tear fell on my cheek. He paid for our meal and we ran back to my house. The door was wide open and I could hear screaming inside. I ran in with Isaac hot on my tail.
