Previously on Scars that remain in the soul
She glared at him Adien rear his fist back and was about to knock her out when they heard a growl. Before anyone could turn around Aiden was met with a fist punching his fist dilocating his jaw making him release Cora...
Scott stood in front of her glaring at the twins. Aiden glared at the back of Scott's head as he relocated his jaw. He walked over to Ethan. Scott turned to look at Cora.
"Leave,"
Cora looked at him as if he'd grown a second head.
"What?"
"You heard me, don't make me repeat myself,"
"I'm not-"
"Cora, leave now or I will drag you myself and get you far away from here as possible. You either leave willingly or I drag you out of here. Either way your not staying,"
Both Ethan and Aiden got up or tried to get up, they could feel their legs wobbling and ready to give out. The two alphas looked into the deep red eyes of the wolf in front of them glaring at them. So Deucallion wasn't lying…Scott McCall was indeed a true alpha…
We need to talk…about a lot of things,"
"Okay so talk," he said trying to sound ecouraging but he was pretty sure he sounded excited that Scott was finally going to talk to him.
"Where to begin," he asked more to himself then Stiles.
"How about in the beginning,"
"Yeah the beginning," after all everything always had a beginning
Both their eyes met before Scott lean down and gave her a soft loving kiss, Cora felt that this kiss was different from their last two. This one wasn't fast and needy, it was full of passion, and it made cora smile. She loved how Scott could be demanding and yet become such a sweet guy in a matter of minutes. Allison was a lucky girl.
Her eyes widen at the thought of the hunter.
Scott felt her tense, she was probably nervous and wasn't sure of what to do, he wanted her to enjoy this so he started kissing her neck hoping it would relax her.
Cora felt her body become numb…before he died Derek told her about everyone and he informed her that Scott and Allison were once a couple hell they even loved each other. So why was he here…kissing her…protecting her…was he…was he trying to replace Allison?
Her eyes widen as reality came crashing down on her. Scott didn't care about her she didn't matter to him…all that matter was…
"Allison,"
As she made a turn she saw someone standing in the middle of the road she was about to turn but the problem was she didn't have enough time.
The body made contact with the bike as the bike filped forward Cora released the handle bars; she fell hard on the road and rolled around a bit, her skull cracked against the payment of the road. She turned to her side to see the body lying on the ground. She could feel tears clouding up her vision.
"Oh God…please tell me that I didn't kill someone!"
She could see the body just lying there, tears were clouding her vision as she realized that she might have hurt someone or worse.
Just as she was about to try to get up she heard a sick cracking sound. She turned and saw that the body moved its arm, the arm was at a weird angle so it moved around a bit once it was somewhat straight it streached it out probably putting the bones back in place it the grabbed its midsection and truned it over.
Cora was freaking out, she then realized that this could be an alph or worse. She tried to turn but she was to scared as she saw the body on its knees and moving to the right to crack it or something.
The body then got up on steady legs and the started heading towards Cora…
Cora watched as the body came closer to her she could feel her heart beat accelerating as if it would jump out of her chest at any given moment.
'Come on Cora move…move damnit!'
She tried to move but her body was refusing to obey it was too exhausted from the crash. When the figure was about ten feet away from her it stopped, it then crouched down so that it was able to look into her eyes; for the first time in a long while Cora was actually afraid she could feel her breathing speeding up along with her heartbeat. Her fear increased when the figure's hand reached out to her.
Her eyes widen in fear as she began to hyperventilate. She was defenseless, she wasn't able to fight back; she was scared. Never in her life did she experience this kind of fear, the fear of knowing that this was it, you're going to die here and now.
Even when she was on the road for the past six years she was never scared, she was always prepared for the worst. When the alphas were ready to kill her she still wasn't afraid because she knew that Derek or someone would save her and Derek wouldn't have to choose between her and Boyd. But now, now, she knew that she was a goner; no one was coming to save her hell she couldn't even lift her hand to defend herself. She was weak, powerless Scott probably thought that she wasn't worth chasing after so he might still be at his home all safe and sound, Derek was gone and she was about to join him along with the rest of her family.
"This is it…I'm going to die…Scott I'm so sorry…I hope you and Allison are happy together…"
Cora closed her eyes and waited for the end.
Before the figure could touch her it recoiled its hand back and disappeared.
Cora slowly opened her eyes and spotted a set of head lights coming towards her she felt air coming into her lungs not realizing that she was holding her breath the entire time.
Once the car came to a complete stop Cora felt the events of what happened catching up to her and felt the darkness slowly clawing its way up. When she saw the driver's door open she felt her erratic heart calming down as the familiar scent hit her nose as her breathing returned to normal.
"Cora?"
A small smile was grace upon her face when the figure got closer. He crouched down so that he was at eye level with her. She wanted to speak to him, tell him what happened but the only thing that came out of her was a small whimpering sound.
"Cora?" he gently pushed a strand of hair out of her face. The gesture was so nice and familiar that she felt some tears running down her face.
"Cora are you okay-"
"CORA!"
As soon as she heard his voice, she could feel the darkness coming closer and for the first time in a long while, she gave in and passed out.
Scott ran towards Cora and Isaac he kneeled down to check on her and made sure she was okay.
The minute Cora got on the bike Scott started chasing her he tried to run as fast as he could but she drove the bike faster than he could run, when he made the turn on the curve he spotted her lying on the ground with the bike a few feet away from her. He came to the conclusion that she must have gotten into in accident; he just hoped that she was okay.
If it was because of Isaac he was gonna kill him.
"What happened?" he asked the beta he tried to keep the calmness in his voice but one look at Isaac told him that he wasn't trying hard enough.
"I-I don't know, I was just driving your mom's car back home when I saw her lying on the ground,"
"Did you see anything? Anything that might've caused this?"
Isaac thought back, he was driving back from the hospital after Scott send him a message to deliver food to his mom, Mama McCall told him to take the car since it was getting late and told him that she'd be getting a ride from a friend. He was driving, he saw a figure on the ground, the minute he got out, he recognized the scent, which was Cora and saw her all bang up but he didn't see anyone or anything.
"Isaac!"
Isaac jumped a little from Scott's voice, it almost sounded like an alpha's…
Scott had to take deep breaths to calm himself down, he could feel his eyes becoming that dark red color that signified that he was an alpha. He wasn't ready for anyone (but Stiles) to know the truth…yet.
"No, sorry I didn't see anyone or anything,"
Scott nodded his head trying so hard not to choke the beta for not being helpful.
"Alright let's take her back to my place make sure she's alright."
Isaac nodded his head he was about to grab Cora but he heard a low growling sound, looking up he saw Scott growling and glaring at him as if he was daring him to touch her and he'll see what will happen to him.
Isaac moved his hands away from her which seemed to calm Scott; Scott then picked Cora up bridal style and took her the car with Isaac following close behind.
He gently placed her inside the car, he then got in and placed her head on his lap. He pushed a few strands of lose hair out of her face. He could see she had some bruises on her face but those would heal unlike those stupid scars that the alpha twins gave her; he still needed to make them pay for hurting her. He stroke her face and was happy when she lean closer to his touch.
"Scott?"
Scott looked up to meet Isaac's blue eyes in the review mirror.
"What?"
Isaac ignored the attitude that came from his friend and asked the question that was on his mind.
"Why was Cora ridding your bike?"
Scott glared at the boy it's not that he was mad at Isaac it was that he hated being reminded of what happened.
"She's was at the house,"
"What was she doing there?" he asked.
"I needed to talk to her,"
"About what?"
"Why do you care?" he asked.
"I just-"
"Isaac, shut up and drive."
Scott still haven't forgotten about the fact that Isaac wanted to take Cora on a date when they first met. He was grateful that Derek was an overprotective brother and Isaac never asked her out.
Isaac looked at Scott and could see that he wasn't in the mood to talk in fact the only he cared about-from what he could see-was Cora. Isaac rolled his eyes and did what Scott said, a part of Isaac wanted to ask him what the hell was his problem and why was he acting this way. Another part just wanted to leave it alone and stay quiet. Problem was it was his wolf that didn't want to anger Scott which if he was honest with himself, it scared him. His wolf was brave and confident but in the presence of Scott it acted like a puppy which confused Isaac. He quickly pushed those thoughts down as he continue on driving them back to Scott's place.
Scott continue to stroke Cora's face every now and then he would squeeze her hand to heal her wounds.
He was still confused as to why Cora said Allison's name. They were having an amazing make out session then he felt her froze; Scott thought it was because she was nervous of course Scott would have asked her if she wanted to stop or not but he was obviously wrong about her being nervous; Stiles was right he was oblivious when it came to girls. Whatever was going through that pretty little head of hers must have freaked her out if she was willing to punch him and leave.
The minute she wakes up he was going to talk to her about it. They arrived back to his house in record time; Scott gently gathered Cora in his arms, he could hear her hissing in pain her back must have hurt as well. He quickly got out of the car trying hard not to cause her any more pain and walked up to the door.
Isaac followed them but stopped due to Scott.
The alpha turned to face the beta.
"Isaac I need you to go back and get my bike," it wasn't a suggestion it was an order an order that Isaac agree to do. He got inside the car and drove back to the scene of the accident.
Scott looked down at Cora and headed inside the house on his way inside he closed the door with his foot. He walked as gently as he could up the stairs so he wouldn't disturb her, once he got to his room-he was grateful that he left both of the doors open-he gently laid Cora down on his bed.
He stroke her face before walking out of the room, when he came back he had a towel and a bowl full of water. He dipped the towel inside the bowl and ran down Cora's face clean the dirt that clung to her face.
He continue this routine for another five minutes once she was clean Scott put the bowl and towel aside. He then took her hand and started to take some more pain away from Cora.
Once he sensed that she wasn't in so much pain Scott got up and went to grab the first aid kit. He came back and sat down next to her trying to be careful so he wouldn't disturb her.
He then started to clean her wounds; his hands linger on her left cheek longer than necessary. He then bend down and kissed her cheek. Cora stir in her sleep as Scott pulled.
"Scott…" hearing his name coming off her lips brought a smile to his face it also awoken another part of his body but he quickly pushed it down. There was a time and place for that and now was not the time.
Once he was done he checked to see if she had any broken bones. He could see that her wrist was broken so he carefully wrapped it in some gauze bandage and placed her arm on her stomach.
Scott heard the door opening and knew that Isaac came back from grabbing his bike.
"Come in," he whisper softly so that he wouldn't disturb Cora but just enough for Isaac to hear him.
The door opened and Isaac poke his head in.
"Everything okay?" he also whispered not wanting to wake Cora up.
Scott just nodded his head as he held on to Cora's hand.
"Do you need anything?"
"Not at the moment,"
Isaac nodded his head he was about to exist the room.
"Isaac?"
The beta turned to face his friend.
"Yeah?"
"Thank you," he said looking up; meeting his blue eyes.
Isaac looked at Scott.
"For helping Cora," he said clarifying his reason for thanking him.
"Oh, well your welcome. I hope she does get better," he said looking at the unconscious Hale.
Scott turned his attention back to Cora and gave her hand a gentle squeeze.
"Me too,"
Isaac left the two alone knowing that it was what Scott wanted even though he didn't say it.
Scott looked at Cora hoping that she would wake up soon, he couldn't help but think back to the fight with Ethan and Aiden. How if it wasn't for his perfect wolf angel he wouldn't have make it. He bend down and kiss her cheek with her hand still in his Scott drifted off to sleep.
Scott's dream
Once the twins completed their voltron wolf Scott wolfed out and charged. The bigger wolf charged after the smaller wolf but before they could make contact Scott backflip kicking the twins right in the jaw he landed on all fours; he then side kick them making contact with their left jaw.
The twins regain their composure and relocated their jaw.
Scott was about to punch them in the stomach but the alpha grabbed his fist. The two wolves met eye contact and Scott could've sworn that they were smirking at him, they flipped Scott over. Scott landed hard on his back that air escaped his lungs. The twins then started to step on his chest Scott could feel that his ribs were bruising due to the alpha repeating stomping. Just as the alpha was about to do it again Scott rolled over as Ethan and Aiden's foot collide with the floor. Scott got back on his feet; the twins growled at the beta and Scott was more than happy to return the growl.
The two began to circle each other looking for an opening.
Scott was the first to strike he ran towards the twins, he then leap into the air with a claw hand in the air ready to attack but the larger wolf grabbed the shorter wolf's neck but that didn't stop the attack. As he lowered his hand and was able to scratch the other wolf's face causing the twins to release him. As soon as Scott landed on the floor, the twins clawed his face leaving three parallel lines on his left cheek.
He rolled around in the ground until he landed on his side. He looked to see the alpha twins growling at him. Scott then rolled on his back and did a front flip to get back on his feet.
He turned to face them and ran towards them.
Oh my god
Please help me, knee deep in the river tryin' to get clean
He says wash your hands, get out the stains
But you best believe, boy, there's hell to pay
Yeah you best believe, boy, there's hell to pay, sayin'
Come on
Scott leaped into the air and punch the twins right across their face separating the two for a moment. The twins growled at him and started to run after him; Scott tried to run away from them he ran up a tree and back flipped away from it while the alpha ran head first into it.
Oh my god
Please help me, waist deep in the river, can you hear my plea?
He says, son, you come like a beggar in the streets
You might make it, boy, but by the skin of your teeth
You might make it, boy, but by the skin of your teeth, sayin'
The alpha turned to see Scott ready to claw him, the larger wolf lean back (or tried to) so that he missed just by an inch Scott anticipated this; before the alpha could recover Scott leap into the air and dropped kick him the kick was able to put some distance between them which is exactly what Scott wanted.
Ethan and Aiden got up; the three wolves began to circle each other once again this time it was them that made the first move. They charge at the beta and spear him to the ground not giving him a chance to recover the two lifted him off the ground and choke slam him to the ground they lifted him back up but instead of throwing him back to the ground the twins threw him to the nearest tree.
rambled with the worst of them
Fell in love with a harlequin
Saw the darkest hearts of men
And I saw myself starin' back again
And I saw myself starin' back again
Scott landed pretty hard that he actually split the tree in half!
'You're pathetic…"
Scott frozen when he heard that voice…the same voice he heard at the motel…
End of Scott's dream
"Scott?"
Scott jerked awake at the sound of his mom's voice. Turning around he spotted his mom leaning against the doorframe looking at him.
"Hey mom," he whisper softly.
"Who's that?" she asked gesturing to the girl on his bed.
Scott turned to Cora who was resting on his bed.
"Oh uhh this is Cora, Derek's sister."
Melissa nodded her head encouraging her son to continue.
"She's hurt and I'm letting her stay here, is that okay?"
Melissa couldn't help but smile. She knew there was more to the story; Isaac already informed her.
"Sure just make sure you two don't sleep in the same bed,"
Scott smiled and nodded his head in agreement.
She turned to leave her son alone with the she-wolf.
Scott turned his head to look at Cora and could see that she was 100% healed. Even those wrenched scars were heal. Scott looked down at his own palm, the only thing that can never heal no matter how hard he tries after all he didn't need a constant reminder of what happened. He quickly got rid of those thoughts as he looked down at Cora.
He smiled as he watch her sleep, she looked so peaceful when she slept hell she honestly looked like an angel the way the sun hit her creating a halo. Scott just smiled as he lean his head back down and decided to get some rest before the day truly began.
A few minutes later Cora awoke from the most amazing dream but sadly that all it was a dream. She looked around to find that she wasn't in her room. Where the hell was she? The last thing she remembered was running over a body, the body coming towards, and Isaac.
She jumped out of bed and looked around realizing that she was in Scott's room. How the hell did she even get here?
She felt something squeezing her hand. Looking down she saw Scott holding her hand while he was resting on the edge of the bed. She turned her head and saw that it was already morning. She turned her attention back to Scott. He looked so peaceful while he slept like a little kid.
"Or an adorable puppy," she couldn't help but smile at the dog joke she just made; but that smile quickly disappeared when she realized what also happened last night. The two were making out…and Cora knew she knew she was being used so that Scott could forget about his precious Allison.
When she thought about it why did Scott even care about her? Allison was beautiful. Sure the girl was a hunter and could kill him in a matter of seconds but did any of that matter when you love someone? Wasn't the whole point of love was looking past their imperfections and loving them for who they were? Or was that just what she read in her romance novels that she hid from her brother and Uncle Peter.
She quickly pushed those thoughts down; she gently removed her hand from his as she carefully tried to get out of bed without disturbing the other wolf. She could hear voices coming from downstairs and if she had to guess Scott's mom and Isaac were wide awake. She didn't want to go down there where they were but she also didn't want to face Scott and find out that she was right and he was just using her to get over Allison.
Looking around Cora spotted the window, which was sadly her only option. Walking up to it she was grateful that it was open. Climb out of it Cora hopped off the window and landed softly on her feet. Taking one last look at the house Cora ran back to the loft where she wanted to be alone for the rest of her life or until Peter agree to leave this place whichever came first.
XxXxX
When Scott woke up he found nothing but an empty bed, he looked around and tried to see if he could find her. Her scent seem to be fading which meant she was already gone.
Rubbing his hand across his face Scott groan in frustration, Cora must have left while he was still asleep. He knew he should have stayed awake but no he had to go back to sleep. Still beating himself over the fact that he lost a chance to talk to Cora he walked over to the bathroom and decided to get ready for the day. Knowing that he'll see her at school Scott will talk to her whether she want to or not.
With Cora
Cora arrived back at the loft to find it empty.
Guess Peter decided to head back to his apartment.
Guess that meant she was alone…again.
Cora headed for her room, opening the door she went straight to her bed. Opening her bag (that she retrieve after she left Scott's) she pulled out her music box; putting the key inside the key hole, she turned it over and waited for the music to start playing. Once the music started Cora lean back on her bed with the small triangular box resting on her stomach and allowed her thoughts to wander.
Last night she and Scott had an amazing moment. Hell she could still her his words running through her head.
"I'm tired,"
"If you're tired then why don't you go to sleep?"
"You don't get it do you?" He pulled her closer so that his body was pressed against hers.
"I'm tired, tired of being the hero, tired of acting like everything is fine when its not, tired of everyone coming to me and expecting me to be the strong one,"
Cora could see him inching closer to her face and as much as she wanted to pull away she stayed where she was.
"But more importantly…I'm tired of acting that your my friend when I want more,"
What the hell did that even mean? Did he want to her to be his girlfriend? Or was he just saying that so that he could get an easy laid.
Cora groan as she laid down on the bed; she pulled her pillow and put it over her head so that it covered her face.
The music was the only sound that filled the room as she laid down on her bed.
"But more importantly…I'm tired of acting that you're my friend when I want more,"
Those stupid words kept playing over and over in her head like a broken record.
"Get out!" she shouted into nothingness.
"Why I'm only here to get my things."
Cora shot out of bed knocking the pillow off her face (thankfully her music box didn't fall for if it did it would have broken into pieces) and was shock to see Isaac leaning against the door way of her room.
Cora could feel her face burning up in embarrassment how could she not hear him coming in and sneaking up on her, what the hell was wrong with her? Oh right Scott and his stupid fancy words were what was wrong with her.
"What are you doing here?" she asked in her usual Hale tone hoping that he didn't notice the blush that was spreading across her face.
Isaac of course noticed the blush but decided for her sake that he didn't noticed it.
"I came to get something that I left mind if I get it?"
Cora gave him a look that told him she didn't believe him.
"Really? Do you really think I'm that stupid?"
Isaac smirked just like he did the first time they met.
"Your right I actually came to check on you to make sure you were okay."
"Why?" she asked a bit cautious; why would Isaac come and check on her?
The beta just shrugged his shoulders.
"Wanted to make sure you were okay after what happened last night and all."
Cora looked at the teen, she could easily see that he was on guard; the way his posture was and the way that his eyes seemed to lock on her as if he was waiting to see if she was going to attack him or not.
When she first met him Cora thought that he was just like that especially after what Derek told her. He didn't tell her much he only told her that he had a shitty childhood something they could relate to.
But after watching him closely she saw that whenever he was around Scott, Stiles, Derek, (when he was still alive) or Allison (especially Allison) he was more clam and carefree. He smiled more and was actually…happy, but when he was around her she could see that he had guarded expression that he didn't know whether or not he should trust her.
It finally draw to Cora that Isaac didn't trust her. Sometimes Cora could be so stupid! How could she not realize that Isaac didn't trust her? How could she be so blind as to not notice that he was probably only checking up on her because she was Derek's little sister? Then again she hasn't been around many people so she guess she didn't really have any idea on how people should act or not.
"You don't trust me do you Isaac?" it wasn't supposed to come out as a question and she sure as hell wasn't supposed to sound hurt and bother by it.
Isaac looked at the female wolf. She just accused him (more like asked him) that he didn't trust her. A part of Isaac wanted to lie to her but she would be able to tell if he was lying or not. Taking a deep breath Isaac decided to go with the truth; even if that meant getting his throat ripped out…by her teeth.
"No Cora, I don't trust you,"
Cora was actually surprise that it actually hurt her to know that Isaac didn't trust her. They were both part of the same pack shouldn't they trust each other? Then again she was being a hypocrite since she didn't trust anyone but didn't she have a legitimate excuse? After all she did lose her entire family in one night.
After all her own uncle didn't trust her…wasn't it supposed to be the other way around he killed her sister for Pete's sake!
Her hazel eyes met his icy blue.
"Why, why don't you trust me?" she tried to sound firm and strong but she could hear her voice cracking at the end.
Isaac took a deep breath and explain to the young Hale why he didn't trust her.
"Because Cora, I don't know you. I don't know who you are, where you were, or even if your really on our side I mean for all I know you could be working with the Alphas and trying to kill all of us."
Cora looked like she's been slapped in the face, did he really think she had something to do with her brother's death? That she would betray her pack for the sake of the Alpha's.
Before she could respond to that Isaac continued speaking
"I mean I will admit that when I first saw you I wanted to take you on a date and get to know you a little better but so far you haven't shown us that you can be trusted, you may have helped us in the fight against the alphas but that's all you did is helped us. And honestly Cora the only reason why I'm here is because of Derek. He is my alpha and you're his sister; I owe it to him to make sure you're okay but that's all I see you as. Derek's little sister."
Cora felt hurt; she felt that Isaac's words were like knives each one stabbing her deeper and deeper into her heart. But what really hurt what really made her want to curl up in a ball and cry (which was ridiculous she was a Hale she wasn't supposed to cry!) was Isaac telling her that he only saw her as Derek's little sister. There was more to Cora then being Derek's little sister. She was her own person and she was different than Derek but looking into Isaac's eyes and hearing his heartbeat she could see that he meant what he said ever last word.
Trying to calm herself down Cora tried to think of what to say; she could easily act like her tough self and tell him to get out or threaten him but then that would give him more reason not to trust her. Looking down at her box, which was resting on her lap Cora, thought of Isaac's words.
If Cora was honest with herself she actually wanted to be friends with Isaac, she wanted someone to talk to, someone who she could share secrets with and them to share secrets with. She was tired of being alone!
"Your right," she whispered softly that if it weren't for the werewolf hearing he wouldn't have been able to hear her.
"I'm sorry…what did you say?" he wanted to be sure that he heard her right and he hoped he did. It's not every day you see a Hale admitting that they were wrong and someone else was right.
Cora rolled her eyes and met Isaac's eyes.
"I said you were right. You don't know me, hell I've been gone for six years and no one knows anything about me so how can I expect you to trust me when you don't even know me? I thought…I thought since we were part of the same pack that you guys would be able to trust me but…I guess I was wrong, I don't blame you guys for not trusting me hell how can you guys trust me when I don't even trust any of you,"
Isaac looked at the she wolf. A part of him understood why she didn't trust anyone. She lost everyone she loved in one night making things difficult to let people in not mention her own uncle killed her sister. He understood her pain of losing a love one hell losing his mother and brother made it hard for Isaac to let people in and then his father abusing him made him wonder if he should trust anyone ever again but then he met Derek and he changed his life for the better.
He then met Scott and Stiles and even though Stiles can be a little annoying, he was still a loyal friend willing to sacrifice himself for his love ones. Little by little Isaac started trusting people again sure its not as strong as it use to be but he was getting there and it was thanks to his friends.
Looking at Cora, he could see that she was a lonely little girl who long for a friend and even though she tried to act tough and brave he could see that, it was an act. Sure she was strong and brave but she was also a scared little kid who wanted someone to comfort her and tell her that everything will be fine even if it isn't.
While everyone in the pack had someone to go to Cora had no one. She was truly alone and he knew she wouldn't talk to her uncle especially after he killed her sister.
Isaac walked over to her and sat down on her bed. Cora looked at the beta; said beta gave her a warm smile one that she tried to return.
"Look I know its hard to trust people and its even harder to let them in for fear that they'll end up hurting you but sometimes you got to push those fears away and let someone in. Trust someone open up a little and if you showed people this side of you, then you'll have no trouble being part of the pack."
She looked at Isaac and could see that the boy was trying he was trying to help her out and was trying to get her to open up and for that she was thankful looking at him Cora realized that maybe she could earn his trust by giving him hers.
She decided to tell him something that no one not even Derek knew.
"When the fire started, we tried getting out. My mom she somehow was able to find a place where the hunters forgot to cover it up with mountain ash. She grabbed me and told me to get out, I told her that I wasn't leaving without her or anyone and she told me that she wasn't asking me she was ordering me," she looked down at her hands she was surprise to see that they were shaking.
Realizing that she was getting nervous Isaac grabbed her hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze. The two's eyes met and shared a brief smile before Cora continued.
"I got out and ran that's what she told me to do get out and run; to not look back to just keep going until my legs give out. That's what I did I kept going and going and when I tripped I realized that I was already outside of Beacon Hills,"
She felt one of his hands cupping her face and whipping her face. Cora didn't even realize that she was crying until she felt the wetness being dried by his hand.
She took a shaky breath and continued.
"I've been running ever since; I stole from restaurants, tried to work in small shops that hired me, I did everything I could to survive…but I never stayed in one place for more than a day. I didn't want anyone to find me or to catch on that I was a runaway even though I technically wasn't but still I didn't want to be caught, I tried to avoid any place that had wolves and stuff. I traveled most of the US parts of Canada I even went as far as Mexico."
Isaac nodded his head encouraging her to continue.
"I started hearing rumors about how a Hale was rebuilding the pack and I headed here as fast as I could. When I got here, I was heading to the old Hale house when Deucalion captured me and threw me in the vault. That's where I met Erica and Boyd and they told me they knew Derek. I didn't really talked to them much but Boyd reassured me that everything will be fine and that we were going to be saved. Three months Scott and Derek come save us…and the rest is history."
Isaac nodded his head in understanding.
"Thank you for telling me that,"
Cora gave him a small smile.
"You're welcome…I know this doesn't mean you automatically trust me but I hope it's a start,"
Isaac smiled at her and nodded his head.
"Maybe we can start all over and just see what happens?" she asked trying to sound neutral but Isaac could hear the hope just beneath the surface.
"Sure Cora, we can."
"Great, I'm Cora Hale."
She extended her arm towards him. Isaac couldn't help but laugh a little.
"Isaac Lahey," he said laughing a little; he took her hand and the two shook their hands smiling and happy that they made a new friend.
With Scott and Stiles
Both teens were sitting down at their usual lunch table. Neither one knew what to say.
"So she just said Allison's name and left?"
"Yes,"
"She just left; she didn't bother to tell you why she said her name or anything?"
"No Stiles all she did was punch me, ran, got hurt, and left…again," Scott said as he covered his face with his hands.
Stiles looked at his friend and couldn't help but laugh, his friend could be so dense sometimes.
Hearing his laughter Scott looked at his friend.
"What's so funny?"
Was Stiles really laughing
"Really Scott? You honestly don't know why Cora just up and left?"
"No I don't, and I've calling and texting her since this morning and she hasn't answered!"
"Okay you're my best friend so I'll tell you exactly why she left,"
Scott waited for Stiles to continue but all he did was munch on his curly fries.
"Well?"
"Well what?" he asked mouth full of fries.
Scott rolled his eyes and playful glare at his best friend.
"Are you going to tell me why she left or are you going to keep me in suspense?"
"Oh you want me to tell you now?" he asked in a playful matter.
"Yes!" he all but shouted, making Stiles laugh a little.
"Okay, okay dude she left because she probably knows that you and Allison were once a couple and she said Allison's name because…"
"She probably thought that I still like Allison and that I'm using her to get Allison jealous," Scott finished for him.
Stiles nodded his head in agreement.
"Now you're getting it, wait like? I thought you loved her?" he asked in confusion.
Scott met Stiles' eyes.
"I thought I did, I thought that Allison was going to be the only girl that I'd only love but…ever since the motel it made me open my eyes and realize that what Allison and I had was nothing but puppy love. I was desperate to have a girlfriend that I went with the first person who was actually interested in me, I'm not saying that I didn't have feelings for her cause I did but, I think all I felt for her is lust and admiration and confused it with love. We rushed into it, we didn't get the chance to really get to know one another we just we went with what we were feeling and…well like I said we rushed it and didn't try to take a step back and slow down a bit."
"And Cora, what do you feel when your around her?"
Scott looked at Stiles and smiled.
"I honestly don't know but I want to find out," he said honestly. He wasn't too sure what he felt for Cora he really liked her and he wanted to protected her but at the same time he didn't want to taint that innocnece she seems to have (as well as hide from the rest of the world) all he knew was that he wanted to spent more time with her and get to know her better.
Stiles just smiled at his friend, he could tell that Scott was being honest with him he was happy that his friend was opening up to him it reminded him of how they use to be before the bite.
"Well Scotty boy all I can say is…please don't kill Isaac,"
Scott gave Stiles a confused look, he saw that his friend had a surprise look and could hear his heartbeat accelerating what the hell was he talking about, and why was he so nervous?
Stiles jerk his head to the cafeteria door; turning around he spotted both Isaac and Cora talking and laughing as they grab something to eat and headed out the door not evening sparing a glance at Scott or Stiles.
"I'm gonna kill him," he growled.
"Uhh…Scott calm down,"
"Why? He stole Cora from me," he reply trying to remain calm but was once again failing to do so.
"Because one your eyes are turning red, two we don't know if they are evening dating, and three Allison and Lydia are heading our way."
Scott closed his eyes and tried to focus on his anchor he tried to relax so the girls wouldn't know his secret.
"Hey guys," Allison greeted them with a small smile as she sat down next to Scott while Lydia sat down next to Stiles.
Neither of the boys said anything, both lost in their own thoughts.
Scott couldn't help but wonder what the hell was Cora doing with Isaac? More importantly when did those two get so close? The way they were laughing and talking made him think that there was something going on.
After all didn't Isaac had mini crush on her? That alone made him want to find the young beta and tear him apart!
Stiles was a bit worried for Scott something told him that Scott was starting to become a bit overprotective with Cora and seeing her with Isaac was not going to end well, he just hoped that Scott would give Isaac a chance to explain that they were just friends.
"What crawl up your asses and died?" Lydia asked them.
Both boys looked at her (or in Scott's case glared) before they got up and left the cafeteria.
Both Lydia and Allison looked at each other.
"Okay what the hell is going on with them?" Lydia asked.
Allison looked at her friends' retreating backs as they headed out. She honestly didn't know what was wrong with them.
"I don't know ever since we came back from that motel Scott's been acting weird…has he spoken to you?" she asked turning her attention back to Lydia.
Lydia felt her whole body becoming numb, the conversation she had with Scott replaying over her head.
"Last time I checked Lydia Allison dumped me last time I checked I was a wolf and she's a hunter. Our kind hates each other and let's not forget that she left and wanted to avoid me, last time I checked," he turned to face her.
"Cora had nothing to do with what's going on between me and Allison so I suggest next time you chose your words carefully before I decided to rip that pretty little tongue out of that pretty little mouth of yours,"
"Lydia!" she was snapped out of her thoughts by Allison yelling out her name.
"Are you okay?" she asked voice fill with concern for her friend.
Lydia looked at Allison; she needed to know what happened between her and Scott maybe she could help her out.
"Allison…we need to talk, about your crazy ex,"
With Cora and Isaac
Cora and Isaac decided to head back to the loft she did not want to stay in school knowing that Scott would try to talk to her and she did not want to see him at the moment.
"Everything okay?" he asked voice fill with concern for his friend. The two were currently on her bed with him sitting and her lying down.
"Not really," she said staring at her celling.
"Wanna talk about it?" he asked.
Cora looked at him and gave him a smile; this is why she needed a friend, someone who could help her in times like these.
Sitting up she sat criss cross applesauce and looked at him. Okay how do people do this? Did they just blurted it out or did they dragged it out until the other caught on.
"You know you don't have to tell me if you don't want to I'll understand,"
"Scott and I made out!" she blurted out.
'So much for dragging it out,'
Isaac blink before he started laughing.
"You…and Scott! You guys made out?!" he grab his sides and laughed, he couldn't believe that pig headed Cora and sweet Scott made out!
"Its not funny," she said actually pouting.
Isaac saw the adorable pout and that made him laugh even harder.
"Your right," he said trying to be serious but ended up laughing instead
"Its hilarious I mean you're actually blushing!"
Cora grabbed her pillow and threw it at him.
"I am not blushing,"
Isaac stopped laughing and looked at her dead in the eye.
"Cora, even if I wasn't a werewolf I would be able to tell you were lying,"
"I hate you," she mumbled.
"Werewolf hearing," he said as if that sum everything up.
Cora just rolled her eyes.
"So…you and Scott actually kissed?"
Cora just nodded her head.
"But…I don't want to talk to him, at all!" she said trying to sound angry but instead ended up sounding hurt and weak.
"Get a hold of yourself Cora! You're a Hale! You're not suppose to show weakness around anyone,"
"Why not?" Isaac asked with concern in his voice.
"Because I don't think he likes me like I like him,"
"Why would you think that?"
Cora gave him a 'did you really just ask that,' look. Taking a deep breath she told him her reason.
"Because he likes Allison and I highly doubt that he's moved on I mean why would he; Allison's nice and stuff. Aside from her being a hunter and all but…why would he leave her for me?"
"You think he's using you to get to Allison?"
Cora shrugged her shoulders.
"Maybe, feelings like that don't go away," she said short and simple.
Isaac didn't know what to say to that a part of him wanted to reasure her and say that it was over between them but he himself didn't know what was going on between those two.
"Why don't we go out to eat? Take our minds off the whole Scott/Allison drama."
Cora looked at her friend and smiled.
"Sounds like a plan," the two headed out of the loft and went to a small burger joint.
"Wait, you said and I quote 'take our minds off the whole Scott/Allison drama' "
Isaac looked at her and she could see a blush starting to form.
"Oh my God…you like her! You like Allison!"
"Wha-what? No I don't! you said so yourself she's a hunter and she could kill me!"
Cora still had that huge smile on her face as she started laughing at him.
"De Nile thy name is Isaac,"
Isaac glared at the she wolf, Cora just smiled.
"When you two get married just make sure that I'm your best woman," she joked.
Isaac glared at her before the frown turned into a smirk.
"Sure thing as long as you make me your maid of honor at yours and Scott's wedding," he kissed her cheek before running away.
Cora blink and realized what he just said anger flown through her veins as she chased the taller wolf.
"ISAAC!"
Flashback
'You're pathetic…"
Scott could feel his fear increasing as the same voice from the motel kept repeating the same thing it said when he was at that motel.
The alpha twins saw the fear in his eyes and mistaken it for fear of them. Smirking the twins walked up to Scott.
Grabbing him by the collar of his shirt they began to punch him over and over again.
"You call yourself a hero? You can't even defend yourself from two little wolves,"
"Their stronger than me," he thought to himself.
"I can't defeat these guys…"
"Your right Scott you can't defeat them…you can't defeat them nor can you protect Cora,"
As soon as he heard her name Scott felt his body becoming numb. He didn't even felt when Ethan and Adien threw him to a tree or when they slam into him.
"She'll die…I'll find her…and kill her…then I'll kill Stiles…do you want that to happen Scott? Do you want me to kill the two only people that will ever love you for you…right in front of you?"
"No…" he whisper to himself.
"I'm sorry…I didn't hear you, it seems that you do want me to kill them,"
Scott growled not even paying attention to the fight his focus was on the voice as it threaten his loved ones…again
"I said…NO!" he shouted to the voice
"Then fight back!"
End of flashback
One week later
One week she's been avoiding him for one freaking week! Whenever he tried to talk to her she would quickly turn the other direction or she would act like she wasn't listening to him. He stopped by the loft but surprise, surprise she wasn't there. Isaac told him that she was staying at Peter's.
Scott tried to be very patient with her but he was losing it.
He tried talking with Isaac but he just said that she needed her space and she had a lot of her mind.
It took all of his will power to not just punch the blue eye wolf and demand that he tells him why she wouldn't talk to him.
Both he and Stiles were currently sitting at their table with their lunch in front of them but neither one was in the mood to eat.
"So…no progress?"
"No, she's been avoiding me like the freaking plauge! I swear Stiles I'm about ten seconds away from grabbing her and dragging her back to my house so we can talk."
Stiles just laughed at his friend but then became seirous. It was weird seeing him serious but over the past two weeks Scott got use to it.
"Have you and Allison talked?"
"Talked?"
"Yeah you know talk about how you guys feel?"
"No, not really I mean we were supposed to but with everything going on we haven't had much time to talk,"
Stiles rolled his eyes at his friend, seriously Scott can be so dense sometimes.
"Well I'm pretty sure if you guys talk then talk to Cora you can tell her that you and Allison are officially over,"
Scott smiled at his friend.
"Your right,"
Stiles smiled at his friend.
"When have I never been?" this made Scott laugh; his friend was right, he and Allison needed to talk and clear everything otherwise he'll lose Cora and that's something he wasn't ready for.
With Cora
Cora and Isaac both sat down at their usual spot as they took out their lunches.
"Who knew you'd be a good cook?" Isaac asked as he munch on his tacos.
Cora smiled as she drank her Pepsi and ate her own tacos.
"When your on the run you got to know how to cook, I can make a mean rabbit," she said in a joking matter.
"Hmm…durning the next full moon you might have to make me some,"
That made them both laugh.
It was good to have a friend, Cora found it refreshing to have someone to talk to and vice versa. The two were awfully close with one another that they were able to share things with each other that no one knew.
Still the two acted like brother and sister nothing more nothing less.
"So have you talked to Scott?" he asked. For the past week Cora's been avoiding him going as far as staying with Peter.
"No,"
"Cora he's getting restless, I can see it in his eyes. Hell I think he's about to beat the crap out of me because I won't tell him why your not talking to him."
"Well if he does I'll punch him twice as hard,"
Isaac just rolled his eyes as he took a bite of his taco.
"Look can we please not talk about him…or Allison?" the last part was said with a smile and Isaac did not disappoint when he started blushing.
Cora just giggled as the two continue to eat in peace.
Later that day
Allison's apartment
Allison opened the door to her room and jumped a little.
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
Scott turned from the wall he was currently facing and looked at her.
"We need to talk,"
"Okay but can we do it another time? My dad's almost home and I don't think he'd be to happy to see you here," Allsion wasn't in the mood to talk to Scott at the moment she kinda just wanted to be left alone.
"Like he'd be happy to know that you were there to help us with Cora and Boyd? Or with the alphas?"
Allison didn't say anything instead she just looked at him. Lydia was right he was different gone was the sweet sorta naïve boy and replace by someone else.
"Okay what do you want to talk about?"
"Us,"
Allison nodded her head and encourage him to continue.
Scott took a deep breath he didn't want to do this but Stiles was right if he wants Cora to know that he's over Allison he needed to do this.
Love that once hung on the wall
Used to mean something, but now it means nothing
The echoes are gone in the hall
But I still remember, the pain of December
Oh, there isn't one thing left you could say
I'm sorry it's too late
"I loved you, I thought you and I would end up together forever maybe even get married and have a family together,"
He took a deep breath and met Allison's eyes.
"You made me feel…normal like I wasn't a freak that I was still human. We were perfect and yet we weren't. At the winter formal the day we told each other we loved one another was one of the best days of my life. I thought you and I were meant for each other…that nothing could ever separate us, but I was wrong. You and I…what we had was everything that I wanted…and more,"
"But you moved on," Scott looked at her; encouraging her to continue.
"Lydia told me what happened in the classroom, she also told me what you said to her."
A small part of Allison was jealous that Scott was moving on but another part was happy that he found someone that could hopefully love him like she did maybe even more.
Scott nodded his head in understanding he wasn't mad nor was he upset that Lydia told her if anything it actually made things a lot less complicated. Of course he wasn't the only one that was moving on.
"So have you,"
I'm breaking free from these memories
Gotta let it go, just let it go
I've said goodbye
Set it all on fire
Gotta let it go, just let it go
Allison looked at him like she lost he lost his mind. Scott couldn't help but laugh a little.
"You don't think I've notice how you and Isaac are always looking at one another when no one is looking?"
Allison blushed a little. She could've sworn she wasn't that noticable. She wasn't ready to admit that he was right.
"What makes you think I like him?" she said in a joking matter.
"Well aside from your blush and the fact that you were smiling when you said that I could hear your heartbeat racing when I said his name,"
Allison just rolled her eyes. She then looked at Scott and became serious.
"When I broke up with you…I felt like it was a mistake but when I was away I felt like we rushed things, we didn't get a chance to really get to get to know one another we didn't start off as friends we just jumped right into the relationship part. You were the first boy to ever love me; you knew what to say, you knew how to make me happy even when no one else did,"
Scott nodded his head encouraging her to go on.
You came back to find I was gone
And that place is empty,
Like the hole that was left in me
Like we were nothing at all
It's not what you meant to me
Thought we were meant to be
Oh, there isn't one thing left you could say
I'm sorry it's too late
"I wish things were different between us but…I guess we…we just needed to take a step back and just start all over,"
"Scott nodded his head. In agreement.
I'm breaking free from these memories
Gotta let it go, just let it go
I've said goodbye
Set it all on fire
Gotta let it go, just let it go
I let it go and now I know
A brand new life is down this road
And when it's right, you always know
So this time I won't let go
There's only one thing left here to say
Love's never too late
Allison walked up to him and extended her hand towards him.
"Hi, I'm Allison Argent," she said smiling.
Scott smiled at her.
"Scott McCall," the two shook hands and laugh at their childish antics before they became serious.
"Scott…about the motel-"
"I swear Allison, I will tell not only you but everyone else what happened…just not now,"
Allison nodded her head in understanding.
"If you ever need anyone to talk to…I'm here for you,"
"I know and thank you,"
The two smiled and hugged each other when they pulled away from each other Allison had to ask.
"Are Cora and Isaac dating?" she really hoped not, she really like Isaac and she could easily see that Scott like Cora.
Scott tried to keep the smile on his face even though he wanted to growl and rip Isaac apart.
"No, he told me that she just needed someone to talk to,"
Allison nodded her head in understanding. (It seems like she was always doing that)
"Okay," she said with relif flowing through her making Scott laugh.
"So do you want to stay for dinner?"
"Nah I have another stop to make and I really need to do this before its to late,"
Allison smiled at him.
"Well you better hurry or you might miss your chance,"
Scott nodded his head and left, he was glad that he and Allison ended things on good terms and that they could be friends now it was time to go and talk to Cora.
Flashbck
"Then fight back!"
As soon as he heard those three words something in Scott snapped! He didn't realized he was on the ground until he flipped so that he was on his feet. He didn't growl at them like he's been doing instead he just stared at them with no expression on his face.
The twins thought nothing of it; they charged at the smaller wolf Scott continue to stand still as soon as the wolf was about a few feet away from him Scott used his claws to scratch the larger wolf's chest causing them to back away.
But that wasn't Scott continue to scratch the alpha as he back away. Ethan and Adien then lifted their arms and right before they could attack him Scott grabbed both of their hands.
He then brought them down to his side jumping into the air Scott kicked them in the chest the wolf's back met a tree but before he could recover Scott ran to them using his knee he jamed it into the larger wolf's chin.
He then flipped and kicked them in the jaw.
Once again Scott didn't give them a chance to recover. Grabbing the larger wolf he threw them over his shoulders he then lifted them off him and using his knee once again he jammed it into the wolf's face.
Once the wolf was on the ground Scott walked over to them he could feel something inside him clawing its way up begging to be free. Something he's been trying so hard to keep under wraps but now...now he wasn't so sure if he wanted to keep it under lock and key anymore.
"If you want to protect the ones you love…let go Scott…just…let…go…"
End of Flashback
Scott arrived at the loft faster than he thought he would. He knocked on the door hoping that she was home he could hear a heartbeat and knew that she was home.
Scott looked at his phone and decided to call her one more time.
"Cora…its me…Scott…look I don't know what's wrong and I don't know what I did to get you to ignore me but whatever it is I'm sorry, I mean one minute we are kissing and having an amazing time the next you say Allison's name and ran off…look I don't know why you said her name but whatever the reason it freaked you out and…and…please call me back so that we can talk about this…please?"
He hung up the phone and stared at the door, he walked over to it and placed his ear on the door hoping to hear her heartbeat and sure enough he could. It was beating faster than usual she was nervous and wasn't going to answer the door no matter how many times he knocked on the door. He nodded his head in understanding even though she couldn't see him.
Cora didn't bother answering the door, she wasn't in the mood to deal with him. Although she found it really sweet that he was still trying to talk to her.
'No Cora, don't remember he's only using you so he can get back with his precious hunter,"
As soon as that thought came Cora couldn't help but feel jealous at Allison. The girl was beautiful, she was also brave, sweet, and she never had her guard up…well she did but unlike her Allison trusted people and wasn't always acting like a complete bitch to them.
The hunter had all those qualities where as Cora had none of them.
She was plain, she was a fighter but she didn't know if she was brave or not, she wasn't sweet she could be mean to people, she didn't trust anyone and she didn't allow anyone in for fear of losing of them.
'Why wouldn't Scott chose Allison, she's perfect for him," she thought bitterly.
She walked into her room and played her little music box. She hummed the soft melody that played.
Cora was lost in her little world she didn't notice someone sneak into her window only when the figure made noise did she realized that someone was in the same room as her.
Turning around Cora took a fighting stance ready to take on whoever just snuck into her room.
Hazel eyes met chocolate ones and could tell that he was angry.
"We need to talk," Scott said growling at the end to show that he was being serious and they were going to talk whether she wanted to or not.
Cora looked at him with her usual annoyed expression.
"No we don't,"
"Yes we do," he pushed himself off the wall and walked over to her standing very close to her. He was glad that she didn't move or anything that she just stood still.
"We have nothing to talk about," she said meeting his eyes, refusing to get lost in them.
"Why did you leave?"
"Wow you don't beat around the bush do you?" she asked in a sarcastic tone.
"Answer the question," he demanded trying to use a little of his alpha voice without her noticing.
Cora glared at the wolf. She wasn't going to allow him to push her around. Standing her ground she asked him her own question.
"Why did you kiss me?"
Scott looked annoyed she would answer his question with a question.
"Why are you answering a question with a question?"
"Why aren't you answering the question?"
"Why are you avoiding the question?"
"Why are you?"
Scott huffed in annoyance he knew that the two would continue to dance around each other until they gave in but she was a Hale and he…well he was an alpha and that was making him stuborn but if he wanted answers he'd have to give.
"Fine I kissed you because I wanted to, I wanted to kiss you for a long time. Now answer my question why did you ran off when it was clear that you were enjoying yourself,"
Cora decided to answer his question, Scott would never admit it but he loved seeing Cora mad. Seeing that Hale fire burning in her was something that was a real turn on for him.
"You wanna know why I left? Fine I'll tell you," she used her finger and poke his chest.
"I am not your little play thing McCall, just because you and Allison are over does not mean that you could fool around with me! I may be Derek's little sister but that does not mean I don't have feelings. I'm not gonna be your little toy that you could fool around with just because you and Allison aren't together,"
Scott looked at her a part of him was proud that she stood up to him another part was hurt and mad that she thought he was just using her when he wasn't.
"You think you know me so well don't you?"
"I know enough, Derek said-"
"Of course," he said throwing his hands in the air. Only Derek would paint him as the bad guy and it wouldn't surprise him if he did made him look like he was the big bad villian in this story.
"What did Derek paint me the bad guy because I didn't want to join his little pack?"
"No! he just told me that you refused to listen to him and just dated her, you love her!"
"Loved,"
Cora blink at him.
"What?"
"I loved her, I would have given anything to be with her. To me, she was perfect; in my eyes I didn't care that she was a hunter and I was a wolf. She was the only one who made me feel normal. When she left I felt lonely and heartbroken and-"
"Why are you telling me this?"
Scott looked at Cora and could see that she was trying hard not to cry.
"Do you know how much it hurts to hear you talk about her like that? I don't even know why but I just…Scott please if you love her then please go back to her and just stop playing with my heart,"
Scott walked up to her and cup her face; he rubbed her cheek as he look into those beautiful hazel eyes.
Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do
I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.
You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much
Than to drown in your love and not feel your rain
"That's the thing Cora, I'm not. When I first saw you I can't explian it but I felt this attraction to you, Cora I don't know why but whatever I felt for Allison is nothing to what I'm starting to feel for you."
Set me free,
Leave me be.
I don't wanna fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.
"Scott…we barley know each other," she didn't want to say it but someone had to. She will admit that when she first saw him she wanted nothing more than to jump him and have her way with him but the fact remain neither of them knew each other so how exactly was this going to work?
Scott smiled at her.
"I know that's why I would love it if you and I went on a date tomorrow?"
"A-a date?" she asked hoping that she heard right.
Oh, you loved me 'cause I'm fragile
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while
And all my fragile strength is gone
"Yes a date, like I said I don't want to rush this I want us to get to know each other and see where this goes,"
"Umm…okay," she said a small smile spreading across her face.
I live here on my knees
As I try to make you see
That you're everything I think I need here on the ground.
But you're neither friend nor foe
Though I can't seem to let you go.
The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down
"Seriously you'd go on a date with me?" he asked with a hopeful expression on his face.
Cora could help but laugh a little.
"Yes Scott I would,"
Before she knew it Scott was kissing her. She couldn't help but smile and kiss him back. Scott pulled back and gave her a sheepish smile.
"Uhh…sorry about that," damn he hoped he didn't ruin it all to soon.
"Don't be," she said smiling at him.
"So…how have you been?"
"Miserable, Isaac has been bugging me to talk to you and before you ask he and I aren't dating or anything we're only friends…actually more like brother and sister and besides he likes Allison,"
"Oh good," he said with a smile. Looking at Cora's expression she seem a bit hurt, Scott rethought his words and realized what he just said.
"I mean its not good that you were miserable its just that I'm glad that I wasn't the only one in pain and that you and Isaac aren't together. I'm making this awkward aren't I?"
Cora just rolled her eyes before peaking his lips.
"Yeah you kinda are but its okay if it makes you feel better I'm glad that your in pain as well,"
The two just laughed. Scott released her cheek and took her hand.
"So…"
"So…"
"You, me our date."
"What should I wear?" she asked she's never been on a date before and she had no idea what to do!
"Something comfortable," he said.
"Okay can I get a-"
"Nope, I'm not telling you."
"Do you even know what we're gonna be doing?" she asked.
"Yes I do I kinda been planning it in case you and I finally talk and made up,"
Cora laughed at his sheepish look.
"Well not wanting this to end but you should go home, you know before your mom starts worrying,"
"Yeah but…come with me, I know Isaac stays over to keep you company but you can stay with me and him that way you won't be lonely."
"Won't your mom be weirded out?"
"Nah I already talk to her and she agreed to it as long as we didn't do anything,"
Cora blushed, should she go with Scott and live with him?
"I just don't want you to be lonely," he said. In all honesty he didn't like the idea of Cora being here alone especially with the Alpha pack and the darach out there.
Cora could see the concern in his face she knew that she would either go with him or he'd stay here with her and she didn't want to come between him and his mom.
"Okay I'll go with you,"
"Seriously?"
Cora smiled.
"Just for the night,"
Scott just smiled and nodded his head. He didn't care for how long she stayed as long as she stayed with him then he was okay with that.
Both Scott and Cora packed her an overnight bag and headed out.
He then dragged her out of the house and towards his bike making Cora laugh the way over there. She hoped on it and wrapped her arms around him, Scott turned to look at her and gave her a warm smile. He then started the bike and took off. Cora couldn't help but laugh as she tighten her hold on him and burried her face between his shoulder blades. For the first time in a long time Cora was actually happy.
