Thanks for the reviews. I know, didn't wait long to update, but I'm just excited. Finally got to starting season 2 today! So far, I think you guys are going to like it. I hope, lol. I do not own anything in this chapter, besides Laci, everything else belongs to their rightful owners!

Chapter 36

$%^$%^$%^%$^%#6

Laci stood in front of her floor length mirror, a nervous expression on her face. She chewed on her bottom lip as she flattened down the skirt of the dress for the hundreth time. She had decided to leave her hair down in curls, her bangs left straightened down to the tips of her eyes. She had only put on a little make up, just the basics really. Mascara, a little smokey colored eye shadow to go with her dress, some blush, and a clear shade of lip gloss. She was nervous of how everyone else would see the dress. She loved it, hands down, but she wasn't sure if anyone would.

"Oh, sweetie. You look just . . . breath taking." her mom's voice said out from the doorway to her room. She spun around on her dress slippers and saw that her mom was standing there with her hand covering her mouth. She was trying not to cry. "That boy, Isaac, he's going to stop dead in his tracks when he sees you." she told her as she moved into the room to get a better look at Laci's dress. She took her hand and spun her around, letting the skirt of her dress flare out a little.

The two woman stood face to face with sad smiles on their faces. She couldn't believe how beautiful her daughter had grown to be. She was so strong, so matured. She was sometimes surprised that she was still only sixteen. "Thanks, mom." she told her before her voice started cracking. Seeing her crying was making her want to cry too. "Isaac's gonna be here any minute, mom. I can't be crying." she tried to laugh out to her as she checked her make up really quick to make sure she hadn't smudged anything without her knowing it. Her mom just laughed as she got even more teary eyed.

The moment was broken by the sound of the door bell ringing down stairs. Laci went into panic mode, not deeming herself ready just yet. She hadn't even made sure that she had everything yet. Melissa knew what to do, though. "Scott, get the door! Tell Isaac that she'll be right down." she called out to her son. She heard a quick 'yeah' before his blur raced by the down way to get the door. "Okay, you've got deodorant on?" she asked her. Laci nodded her head. "Hair's done. Dress is on right and it looks perfect. Shoes . . . no heels? Why am I not surprised with you?" she laughed out when she saw the white silk slippers on instead of a pair of heels. "I think that you're ready for your grand entrance, Lace. Lets go impress that date of yours." she said to her before hugging her really quick and going down to find her camera before Laci comes down after.

Laci gave her mom a few minutes as she just stood in front of her mirror and looked herself over again. She was just praying that everything went over smoothly tonight. She just wanted one night with Isaac to be normal and fun. She didn't want to worry about werewolves, the alpha, Derek, especially Derek, or hunters. She waited another few seconds before taking a deep breath and deciding that it was time to get out there. She left her room and made her way down to the stairs. As she decended from the stairs slowly, fighting back her smile, Scott was the first to turn around. She giggled, not being about to hide her smile any longer, when she saw his jaw drop. He didn't look so bad in a suit either, she noticed.

She paused in her step when Isaac looked up from his conversation with Scott, no doubt being about lacrosse. She blushed when he started stammering for something to say to her, but she wasn't even sure if he was saying actual words. She giggled softly, causing him to blush and look away from her. "Oh, pictures! I need pictures!" their mom suddenly announced as she came out from the kitchen. She moved in between the boys and Laci and took the first picture of Laci alone on the stairs. "Okay, now Isaac and Laci." she instructed them as she waved them around.

Laci rolled her eyes at her mom as she continued on to the bottom of the steps and moved to Isaac's side. He welcomed her nervously as he wrapped an arm around her waist. She smiled brightly as she snuggled into his side. "You clean up nice, Isaac." she said through her smiling teeth. She meant what she had said, he did clean up nice in his tux. He didn't have any bruises on his face either, which seemed like a first. She was happy to see that he was okay for once. She just hoped, for his sake, that it lasted a while.

His eyes flickered down to her for a second before looking back up at the her mom with the camera. He didn't know how to describe how beautiful she really looked. She took his breath away, which wasn't uncommon for her to do. She always caught him off guard and amazed him time and time again when she just smiled at him with that look in her eyes. "You look . . . I-I-I don't even know if there's a word for it." he said down to her, momentarily forgetting that her mom was taking pictures of them. She looked up at him and blushed shyly, not knowing how to respond to that. "Tell her that she looks beautiful." Scott whispered in his ear, causing Laci to roll her eyes and giggle as Scott shot her a wink. Isaac turned red as he chuckled with them. "Yo-you look be-beau-beautiful, Laci." he stuttered out nervously as he rubbed the back of his neck.

Laci glanced at her mom and shot her a wink, silently telling her to get the camera ready for a picture. She nodded her head and got the camera ready. Laci stretched up and pressed her lips against Isaac's lips, her hand reaching past him and pushing against Scott's grossed out face. A flash went off, meaning that Melissa had gotten the picture. Laci broke the kiss and settled back down at her short height, a warm smile playing on her lips as she looked up at the dazed Isaac. She just giggled at his expression and took a hold of his hand.

Melissa felt her own heart melt just watching the two of them. She knew how Scott felt about Allison by him telling her only a few minutes ago, but she could see it clear as day that there was definitely something going on there between Laci and Isaac. "Ok, one more. Just of Laci and Scott, please." she said out to the twins and Isaac. The twins both groaned out, but listened to her regardless. Isaac left her side and let Scott move in toward his sister. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders happily as he held her close.

The two smiled as their mom got the camera ready to take the picture. Lacie's smile shined as she leaned against her brother. "I wasn't kidding, Laci. You do look great." he whispered to her. She looked at him a little taken back, but a weak smile appeared on her lips as she leaned up and kissed his cheek. It caught him off guard, but their mom was lucky enough to get the shot. They declared that the last shot to be taken, and soon Laci and Isaac were off to get to the dance. Scott was sparing her the awkwardness of being the third wheel on the way there, and it made his decision easier with knowing that they would already be car pooling with Stiles and Lydia since Isaac didn't have a car. The less people that new he was there, the better.

Stiles pulled up in front of the house right as Isaac shut the front door behind them. He jumped out of the jeep and scrambled to get around it. He fumbled slightly when he noticed how amazing Laci looked, though. Laci pulled Isaac along with their fingers entwined together as they made their towards the jeep. She was glad to see that he had taken off the top so that Isaac wouldn't have to hunch over in the back with her. It would still be a tight squeeze, but it was better then Jackson's Porsche. Lydia was sitting inside the passenger seat with arms crossed as she pouted. "Uh, hey, Laci. You look . . . wow, amazing." he told her with a dazed smile on his face.

She didn't seem to notice his dazed expression as she smiled up at Isaac with that smile that he loved. Isaac tried to act as if he didn't see it, though, and so did Lydia. Laci might be blind to how her friend loved her, but that didn't mean their dates didn't. Isaac just hoped that Stiles didn't make any kind of move on Laci. He wasn't sure how that would go over and he didn't want to loose her. Stiles suddenly realized that he had to be staring, and snapped out of it as he bowed down in front of them both. "Your beat up piece of junk charriot awaits, milady." he said out to her as he held out his hand for her to take. She giggled and took his hand as he led her to the other side of the jeep. He pushed down his seat and helped her inside of the back seat. Isaace followed in behind her. Once they were both inside, he got inside of the jeep himself. He spared at glance at the house and saw Scott watching them from the door. He gave him a quick nod before taking off to the dance. He just hoped that Scott knew what he was doing.

#$%#% %#$#%$

The four arrived at the school just as people were going inside. Stiles parked his jeep and got out of the driver's seat. He pushed down his seat again to let the two in the back out before hurrying around the other side to help Lydia out. Isaac thought better then to try and get out the way he had went in and just jumped out over the back. He motioned for Laci to do the same as him. She bit her lip in hesitation, but a smile broke up as she nodded her head and got up from her seat. With Isaac's help, she ended up falling into his arms with small squeal of laughter as he spun her around.

The two were laughing like two crazy people as Lydia and Stiles joined them. Stiles tried not to pay attention to Laci in Isaac's arms, but it was harder said then done. He didn't need to worry about it for long since Allison and Jackson were coming their way. "Jackson, you look handsome." Lydia said out as she flattened down her dress just as the other pair stopped beside them. She felt almost embarrassed with Jackson seeing her like such a mess and coming in a piece of junk jeep.

"Obviously." he said back smugly as he looked her over. "It's Hugo Boss." he told her with a chuckle. He was about to leave with Allison when he noticed Laci still being held in Isaac's arms, laughing away at something he had said to her. "Don't have too much fun over there, Lahey! Thanks to you, I have to hide a black eyes now." he said over to them, alerting them of his presence. Isaac got suddenly nervous and carefully put Laci down on her feet again. Her smile fell as she shot Jackson a look to cut it out. He just flashed both her and Lydia a smile before continuing on with Allison.

Laci just rolled her eyes at him and turned toward Isaac, her smile already returning to her face. He gave her a nervous smile in return as he offered her his arm to take. "Lets get this started." she laughed out to him as she wrapped her arm around his offered one, and soon the two were off to get inside of the school. The dance was already in full swing by the time they got inside, and she immediately pulled him towards the dance floor with her. It took him a few minutes to really get into the dancing, but soon they were laughing and just having fun like normal teenagers. It wasn't the much into the first song before Coach Finstock was calling out to her brother. She giggled as she they watch him run away and end up dancing with Danny as a save. It had worked, thankfully, but only because the coach didn't really know what to do when it came to Danny.

Normal, ha! If only.

$%&&^$&^

After the small little incident with her brother and Danny with the coach, things had started to go smoothly. It couldn't last forever, though, it never had before. Laci and Isaac were on their third dance together, the first slow song of the night, when a throat cleared behind them both. She was smiling, thinking that it was Scott or Stiles coming to ask for a dance, but her smile was instantly gone as her heart stopped. It was Peter. "Sorry to interrupt. You two just looked so . . . so connected. I have an eye for seeing these kind of things. I have a nephew who's head over heels for a young lady. She looked quiet like you, now that I think about it. Sadly, she was taken from him much too soon. Wouldn't want to see that happen to the two of you, now would you?" he went on to tell them.

Isaac wasn't completely clueless. He could see how badly this guy was scarying Laci. He wrapped his arm around her as a way to comfort her, to make her feel safe. The guy just laughed at this, as if it was a joke to him. "Oh, I'm sorry. I'm a photographer the school hired to take pictures. Just wondering if I could, get a shot of the two of you?" he asked them as he motioned to the camera in his hands. Isaac looked down at Laci and saw her scared expression. That was all the answer he needed. He shook his head to Peter and was about to lead Laci away, when the guy grabbed his arm with a tight grip. "Really, I insist on getting a picture." he told them through a forced smile.

Isaac wanted to tell him to back off, but Laci just shook her head. She didn't need him to give Peter anymore reason to kill him. "Okay, but just one." she told him. She didn't know how she managed to have a strong voice, but someone how it still came out like one. He smiled, pleased that she was going along and motioned for them to get to dancing. They nodded and went back to how they were before he interrupted them. Once he took the shot, he was gone just like that. "I-I'll be right back. I-I'm gonna go get fresh air and see if I can find my brother really quick." she told him nervously as she pulled away from him.

Before he could protest, or even offer to come with her, she had kissed him quickly and taken off to get outside. She was wondering around for a few minutes in the parking lot as she looked for Scott. She shivered slightly at the cold chill that went down her spine. She had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach and she just wanted to find her brother. She had seen him with Allison, now she just had to find them. She was walking around the back to see if they were by the busses when she was suddenly grabbed from behind. She let out a scream, but it was muffled by a cloth being pressed against her mouth and nose. She struggled to be let go of, but it was no use.

Her screams continued as she thrashed around in the man's grip. She suddenly wished that she had worn heels, just to give her something to use to get free if nothing else. She tried not to breath in the chloroform, but it was becoming too much for her. She'd pass out from lack of oxygen first if she didn't try to breath soon. She gave in after another scream and she started choking as she breathed in the chloroform. Her head began to spin as she saw black dots. She felt her body falling limp into the man's arm, her struggles and screams both coming to a stop as she finally fell into a darkness.
