It's that awful time of year again, that week of gym where it's the wall. No one likes the wall; even if it can be climbed within about a minute by some people everyone hates it. The guys hate it because of the indescribable pain in your balls the harnesses give you on the way down, and the girls hate it because well, it's the wall.

But the one person who hates the wall the most out of everyone has to be Erica Reyes. The poor girl, Isaac does feel very sympathetic towards her but he doesn't know how to approach her. She is like him, she takes her problems to her head, she has closed herself off, made it very difficult to be friends with.

It's gym first, Erica goes to the wall preparing to race stiles up the wall, she looks determined. She's almost half way when she freezes, Stiles hadn't even noticed, he gets to the top, but Erica still hadn't moved. Her whole body started to shake, she fell backwards off the wall surprising her spotter as she hits the ground hard, everyone rushes to her, but slowly back away when they realize what's happened; she had a seizure, while climbing the wall, and the poor girl had wet herself in front of the entire, class. It's horrible for her, every time she has a seizure in school its worse, for the few following days she won't even come into school, and when she does finally return there is always one asshole or bitchy girl who would say something evil to her. Everyone knows she can't control it, can't stop it, or help herself once it starts but still the say something. To Isaac this is like Jackson with the bruises comment. It's disgusting.

It's this day that Isaac knows. He knows Derek is looking to extend the pack, he had also explained what had drawn him to Isaac, and Isaac couldn't help but think that this was the exact reaction Derek's wolf would take to Erica. He runs his theory by Derek explaining everything about her.

'I mean Derek, come on, whose more broken than an epileptic girl of 16 who's pissed herself in school six times already this year. I think she needs this; I needed the bite to make me stronger to defend myself from my dad. Erica needs it because her epilepsy is ruining her life. Please Derek, just go to her, meet her, get an impression, and let your wolf decide.'

Derek knows Isaac is right, the fucking kid always is, he's been a wolf maybe two weeks, and he already understands so much, it's almost like having another Stiles around except actually a wolf. Even though Scott and Stiles have been to see him once or twice he hasn't told them about Isaac he said he has expanded but he hasn't said who and has been disguising Isaac's scent. But Isaac would be just outside the building within hearing range, he knew from the second he heard Scott peak that it was him, he couldn't help but gasp, audibly, and Derek picked up on it. He had spoken to Isaac a little about his high school life but he wasn't really interested but as alpha, he could feel something shift in Isaac when Scott was near even though the two didn't speak yet, as wolves, or as pack mates, he could just feel something he didn't know what it was call it wolf senses tingling as Stiles would put it.

Derek knows he will have to introduce them as pack mates soon, but he thinks he will give this Erica girl a chance first. From what Isaac had told him she did seem like she could use the bite, and after everything she had been through in her life she was bound to be down to earth, but what if she became stubborn, the bite gives you a completely new look on life, a new perspective, what if the strength and abilities went to her head? It was a risk Derek would just have to deal with, if his wolf chose her, and wanted her as pack, he would deal with it, he was the alpha he could do this.

'Fine Isaac. Fine. But if anything, anything at all goes wrong, if she accepts and the bite kills her, you're digging the grave.'

'I would have been anyway.' Isaac replies quickly, is a witty reply and Derek can't help but chuckle slightly.

Scott can tell something about Isaac has changed, he can smell more confidence and a little less self hatred and fear coming off him now. It's starting to scare him, even though he and Isaac didn't know each other very well Scott found himself thinking about him a lot. He often caught himself staring at him thinking about his dad and wondering how he is. But he never approaches him; they haven't said a word to each other since Isaac's outburst. Scott just doesn't know what to say. He doesn't know how to make Isaac see, to make him see that people do care about him. He gets a feeling that Isaac is mad at him, because when he catches Isaac staring at him, and their eyes meet, Isaac's heart starts to race slightly and Scott's does the same.

When he sees Isaac talking to Erica he is shocked, he didn't know they were friends. He can see why they would be thought both are so closed off, both attractive but don't make an effort or know it, both shy; both have issues that they probably should talk about more. Wait, why does he care if Isaac his talking to Erica? Good for him, he's making friends; good for him he is socializing. Then why does he feel like he's been punched in the stomach? He doesn't dwell on it, Scott never does, he has to short an attention span to over think things, and also he had just seen Alison ahead of him in the hall, he runs to her grabbing her from behind and hugging her.

Isaac notices every time Scott stares, every time their eyes meet when one of them catches the other looking his pulse must double, and if he didn't have such control he would shift there and then every time, it's shocking how quickly he has managed to gain control. He can also sense a difference in himself that must be obvious to others, he has started dressing different, he walks different to, and he keeps his head held high and walks down the middle of the corridor, getting looks and stares almost daily now but not because of new scars or bruises. It's because people have finally started to notice he exists. And it feels amazing.

After finally convincing Derek to meet Erica he approaches her in school,

'Hey Erica, can we talk?'

She looks scared, but mumbles 'I guess so' without raising her head to look at him.

'Okay so look, I can't explain everything now, but I think I know how to help you, I mean really help you, make you stronger, faster, make everything go away, and be better.' He really has her attention now, at the word 'help' her head had shot up and she had looked him straight in the eye, she could see the honesty in his eyes. She doesn't know why, but she believes him straight away without questioning the fact that what he says makes no sense.

'How?'

'I can't explain here' Isaac says, knowing its lame, 'but I can explain I promise just meet me here tonight at seven,' he hands her a piece of paper with the address of the abandoned rail way station on it. She takes it without another word, and when she looks up again Isaac is gone.

When Erica arrives at the abandoned station she reeks of fear and anticipation, but also of hope, she had truly believed Isaac when he said he could help her. She knocks on the big door at the front of the rail station ad hears someone shout from inside that she should just come in.

Isaac and some guy who is very attractive, but also vaguely familiar sitting in one of the carts playing a game of cards she doesn't recognize. As she approaches, she suddenly feels relaxed, like this is natural, even thought she should probably be terrified she isn't. She feels safe for some reason. They sit in silence while Isaac and the familiar stranger finish their hand.

'It's called van-six' the stranger says, 'its French for 26, because you get a pile of 26 cards which you have to get rid of, and the first person with no cards in his pile left wins, I would ask you to join us but it's a two player game. We could play something else if you wanted to.'

Erica is so confused. Isaac said he could help her. 'Isaac,' she says turning to face him instead of the stranger as she had been 'you said you could help me, this is just creepy, I'm sitting here in silence with two guys who are basically strangers, one of whose name I don't even know yet,' she almost shouts as she waves her hands at the stranger.

'Well then I guess its straight to business' Isaac says with a cheeky grin. 'This is Derek, Derek Hale, and yes he was accused of murdering his sister but he is innocent and has been proven innocent. He is from one of the oldest families of werewolves ever, the Hale pack is legendary, but after the tragic fire, and Laura's death Derek here is left to be alpha and an alpha needs a pack so he is recruiting, and he's already giving me the bite,' Isaac says gesturing between him and Derek, talking mostly with his hands, making no sense at all, ' and we have brought you here to see how his wolf reacts to you, weather he wants you to be pack or not.'

'I'm sorry what, you said you could help me this is clearly a joke 'cause werewolves don't exist so stop fooling around. I'm leaving.' Erica replies without any emotion in her voice at all, she stood and turned to leave.

'Oh really Erica, do they not?' there was something in the way Isaac said this that made her stop and turn, the trust she had felt when talking to him before was back. As she turns she sees him, fully wolfed out, his eyes are a bright orange/golden colour his forehead had lengthened, his mouth is filled with sharp canines, which could be accurately described as fangs, his cheek bones are lined with fluffy, fur like hair and his nose has shifted and looks more like a dogs nose than a humans. As he eyes travel downwards she see's that razor sharp claws have also grown from where his fingers nails would have been. She takes a step back, he mouth hanging open in shock, she takes a few seconds to really wrap her head around everything. When she does, she snaps back to reality quicker than either Derek or Isaac had predicted.

'So what does it do? How does it change you other than well...' she says nodding he head in Isaacs general direction, she is looking directly at Derek now.

'Your hearing will become as advanced as any canines, as would you sense of smell and sight. You will be stronger than humanly possible, you will be athletic and agile, be able to run faster than also humanly possible. Your skin will heal itself, and you will not longer have epilepsy.'

'I'm in.' She doesn't even hesitate.

She was watching Derek; she glanced back at Isaac who had returned to his human form, he looks impressed. When she looks back to Derek, his eyes are red, and Isaac can smell it, acceptance.

His wolf had accepted Erica. His wolf wanted her. As Isaac watches him, he takes steps towards Erica, but she is the one to close the distance between herself and Derek. She tips her head back revealing her neck to Derek, inviting him to bite, he chuckles, muttering something that only Isaac can pick up on, could hear, and then tells her he has to bite her side, he gets down on his knees, lifts her top so he stomach in on show and leans in and bites.
