I got there soon after Derek, bringing him up to speed with everything as I strode towards Isaac. "How is he?"

"Still out but I think he's healing. He'll be okay." Nodding my head I lingered by the bed for a moment before I sat down next to Isaac, reaching out to take his hand and I began to draw some of the pain and the anaesthetic into me, helping to take the edge off whilst also ensuring that he hadn't been overdosed by whichever of the Alphas it was that drugged him. "Are you okay?"

"I'm good. Just worried about the animals. It's not exactly fair that they should be so terrified and are going crazy left right and centre." I murmured, watching as the black lines disappeared up my arms and Isaac sighed, looking a lot more relaxed and his fever was now gone as I smoothed my hand over his head. "I hate this waiting. I want to know what they're doing so I can find them and just cut their throats already."

"You're really violent, you know that right." Turning to look at him my eyebrows knit together slightly, observing him before I gestured my head.

"Do I look violent right now?" I challenged quietly as my fingers were instinctively brushing against Isaac's hair, calming him from his trembling nightmare until it disappeared entirely.

"No. You look beautiful." Ba-dum. My heart jumped as I reacted against his words, confused and more than a little surprised as he remained as placid as ever. I think he meant it as a simple compliment, but all the same, it sounded weird coming from him even if he was just a friend.

"You think you're a real smooth talker don't you Hale?" Giving him a deadpan look he smirked slightly, inclining his head before he stood up. Taking some of that anaesthetic made me slightly drowsy but I shook it off, sitting with Isaac for a while before I checked my phone for the time. I should be heading off soon, I have work to do and chores around the house. "Hey, are you okay here with Isaac on your own?"

"You know technically he's not alone-!" I punched a fist to the side as Peter appeared, walking forwards to move past me but once again I caught him in the face, silencing him immediately whilst continuing to look at Derek who looked more than a little amused. "If you've got something to say, you could just use words you know." He complained, holding his bleeding nose as I finally shot him a dry expression.

"I hate you and want you to drop dead." Peter paused for a moment before nodding his head acceptingly.

"Fair enough." He moved away after that and Derek sighed, shaking his head slightly before coming a little closer.

"We'll be fine. I'll send you a message when he wakes up and see what he knows." Nodding my head I looked up at him, noticing that his lashes were actually a little longer than I thought and not as dark. Inhaling softly Derek closed his eyes and leaned his head closer, brushing his forehead against mine as I tasted his scent on my tongue, feeling more than relaxed as I felt the affectionate brush of his lips against my skin. This felt strange but my body was so instinctively accepting of his approach that I didn't push him away. "Are you sure you're alright to ride? You took some of that anaesthetic right?"

"It's already out of my system so it won't be a problem at all. Just keep an eye on Isaac, okay?" With a smirk I clapped my hand against his chest, arching an eyebrow at him with a quirk before I turned and walked away, though not before I heard Peter's sarcastic voice try to quietly mutter.

"You two act like an old couple sometimes."

"We're not together you idiot, she's an old friend." Derek answered back a little louder, making me chuckle to myself. Derek has never once in his life considered me a friend until at least last year when we found one another again with quite extraordinary changes to the both of us. Pulling on my helmet I went to my bike and started it up, riding out of the industrial estate before taking the road to head home. As I headed out of town the long stretch with the forest of pine trees either side of me. I cranked up the speed a little, feeling the rumbling engine with a peaceful expression.

It came without warning and I had no time to react, though there was very little that I could do. A heavy weight slammed into me full force from the side and I was pulled from the bike, the strap of my helmet snapping and it was ripped off my head as I hit the ground, blood exploding across the road as my bike continued racing forwards before the back wheel then slid out from underneath and it skidded down the road.

Several ribs broke and I felt my spine also crack slightly, paralysing me for a few moments as I gasped, my hair becoming sticky with blood as my eyes suddenly glowed red, forcing my body to heal itself as a shadow loomed over me. "Remember me?" Ennis questioned, snarling with his wolfish features glaring down at me. With a closed fist I felt his fist connect with my face before all at once I blacked out, though there was a distinct after flash of white.

When I came to someone was dragging me by my bound hands over a smooth marble floor, a groan escaping me as the soft padded footfalls continued. Kali. The one who desperately needed a pedicure. Maybe a foot amputation? "Rise and shine sleeping beauty. You're our guest of honour." She informed me darkly as I was tossed into some kind of cell and I managed to look and see a vault door closing behind me. It was huge and metallic, however as I tried to move I found they'd slashed me up pretty good and my head was still bleeding slightly. Why wasn't I healing? It should have kicked in by now.

"Dumb bitch." I muttered, spitting out the blood from my mouth before I realised I wasn't alone in the room. My vision swayed, however as I managed to roll onto my shoulder and lift my head, I saw a dark shape in front of me trying to get closer. "Boyd? Is that you?"

"Sophie, Sophie you have to get out of here. The walls, this place, we can't shift or heal…" He was trying to tell me but all I heard was a painful buzz as I groaned once more and went limp, unable to stay awake any longer.
