Just a walk in the woods....
Who: Isaac Lahey, Allison Argent, Chris Argent
What: Isaac wolfs out, Allison freaks out, and Chris saves the day
When: After Isaac and Allison decide they should meet
Where: The woods
Warnings: Blood? Is that a warning?
Status: In progress

Things had been going so well until the small fox darted out of woods and into Allison's path. Isaac didn't know what had come over him, one minute he was fine and the next he was trying to rip the fox's throat out...with his teeth! He'd had to protect Allison!

What the ever loving fuck?!

The next thing he knew there was an arrow sticking out of his leg, Allison was screaming and crying and Isaac had fangs.

Seriously? What the fuck?

Isaac felt his mouth return to normal and rolled on the ground, moaning. "I'm sorry! I don't know what happened! Allison, I'm so sorry, I just wanted to protect you, I don't know what that was!"

With everything moving so quickly, Allison had nearly dropped her crossbow. Something in her, though, kept her calm enough to shoot what she assumed would be a non-lethal shot at Isaac’s leg. She turned on heel to run, to take off for the wilderness away from whatever her boyfriend had become, but as soon as she turned she heard him apologizing. Almost curiously she turned back around to look at him, the terror showing clearly on her face even though he looked human again.

“Isaac, I... I’m sorry. What...” She trailed off, stammering a little bit. “What are you? How did you do that??” Part of her wanted to kneel next to him, see how bad she’d gotten him with the arrow, but there was a bigger part that was still scared he was some kind of monster with a thirst for blood. She didn’t want to risk her life.

Isaac scooted back from her, dragging his leg with him, afraid if he got close he might change again.

"I don't know, Allison, I swear, I don't know. I just...I was afraid that fox was going to bite you or something and it was...instinct to protect you," Isaac said, wiping tears away from his eyes.

"I love you, I'd never ever hurt you, I promise," Isaac pleaded, pulling himself up against a tree."

He blinked and shook his head when he realized what he said. He didn't know her, he couldn't love her, but he did, he loved her so much and he knew he'd never hurt her.

"I'm sorry. Maybe you should get away from me until we figure this out," he said, staring at the ground. "I don't think I can trust myself, I don't even know what I am," he ended with a whisper.

She didn’t think he was going to hurt her. Not of his own free will, anyway. But if his actions really were dictated by instinct, how could she be sure that he wouldn’t hurt her?

“I’m so sorry.” Allison started to cry. “I thought I was protecting myself. I just... I don’t know what’s going on and it’s really scary to me, you know?” Her voice was pitched higher than usual and since they were on their own in the woods she made no attempt to keep herself quiet. Allison’s somewhat muffled sobs echoed through the wilderness.

“I’m sorry, Isaac.” She thought she loved him, too. It was uncertain because feelings aren’t science and are never certain, but she was reasonably sure she understood how they could be a couple even if he could turn into a fanged monster at the drop of a hat.

	"No, you did the right thing," Isaac assured her with a wan smile. "You didn't know what I was going to do. I knew I wouldn't hurt you but there's no way you could know, not when I looked like that. What was that? What a am I?" he asked, feeling his teeth for fangs. "Am I...human?" he asked, looking fearfully at Allison. (Reply to this) (Thread)

“You look human right now. I don’t know. God, what has fangs like that? And your eyes were gold.” Like an animal. She wanted to say it, but held back for fear of insulting Isaac.

“I don’t know.” She repeated, shaking her head. “Maybe your uncle will know. Maybe it’s something that runs in the family. I’m sure there’s a perfectly sound explanation for... This.”

Allison kept her distance from Isaac in spite of wanting to just hug him. He looked like he needed affection right then, but she was too scared to provide it.

Isaac was curling in on himself, scared of what he was, scared of how he came to be this way. Terrified that he would somehow hurt Allison or make her hate him.

"Gold?" he whispered, feeling his eyelids. "When I saw the fox, the color looked different, washed out," he admitted, chewing on his lower lip. That's when he tasted the blood on his mouth and began to frantically wipe it away.

"That's disgusting!" he cried, spitting on the ground. "Why would I do that? Why?"

“Like you were colorblind?” Allison asked slowly, something dawning on her. His fangs hadn’t been human teeth. They’d reminded her of an animal’s. What animals are notorious for being colorblind? Canines.

“I have a really crazy idea, Isaac. Do you think you’re some kind of shapeshifter? Something like... God, this is crazy, magic? I don’t know how else to explain it.” She frowned. If only she had an encyclopedia of weird stuff. Then maybe she’d also have some answers.

	Werewolf "I'm a werewolf," Isaac said, frowning at Allison. He didn't know how he knew it, but he knew it was true. "Why would you want to be with someone like me?" he asked, baffled. Werewolves in movies didn't get the pretty girl. They got hunted and killed with silver bullets. "Silver bullets. You said your last name meant Silver?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She felt herself gasp. Was it true? Was she really dating a werewolf? Her life got more and more complicated by the second.

“You seem really nice.” Allison said, in a small voice. How was she supposed to answer his question when she hardly knew him at all? She nearly kicked herself for not having something better than ‘you’re nice’ to offer.

“Yeah, Argent means silver. Why? What are you thinking?” She looked at him curiously.

	"You're good with weapons and stuff right? Do you think you carry silver arrow tips or anything?" he asked, staring at the ground, unable to meet her eyes. In their pictures, they looked so happy with each other, so that just couldn't be right. "No. No, that's not right. Those pictures. We looked happy, right? Do you think...do you think we were happy?"

“I’m good with the bow, at least.” She eyed him carefully, wondering what he was thinking. “I don’t think I have any silver in this quiver.” Allison wasn’t sure she could tell silver from titanium, but she slipped her quiver off of her shoulder to look at a couple of the arrows inside of it. She only looked up when Isaac asked if she thought they were happy.

“I assumed we were happy. The pictures I had... We were either smiling or kissing. We’re crazy about each other. Why? What are you thinking, Isaac?”

"I don't know what to think, so I'm going to believe what I saw in those pictures." He shifted his leg that still had the arrow sticking out of it. "I'm going to believe in how I felt the moment I saw you today. I don't know if I'm a werewolf, or a shapeshifter or what, so until I talk to Derek, none of that matters."

He used the tree to stand up and limp/hopped closer to Allison. "I'm going to believe in the sheer love and happiness I felt as soon as I saw you today. The rest, we'll figure out, alright?" he said, eyes almost pleading with Allison's to agree.

In spite of feeling like she wanted to burst out into tears, Allison threw her arms around Isaac in a great big hug as soon as he was close enough for it. She glanced down at the arrow and winced. “God, I really am sorry about that. What are you supposed to do with arrow wounds? Leave it in or pull it out?”

It was easier to focus on the arrow than it was to focus on the possibility that maybe they weren’t as happy and meant for each other as she’d thought they were.

Isaac held her tight, loving how she smelled, it was so comforting and felt right.

He looked down at the arrow in his thigh. "I think it's just in muscle and I could probably pull it out. Maybe I should call Derek and ask him? Or maybe you can call your dad? He's more of a hunter right, he would know. I don't want to go to an ER and try and explain this. Can you call your dad?"

For some reason, Isaac was afraid Derek would be angry or disappointed in him but he didn't know why.

"You're a great shot by the way," he said, smiling.

Allison nodded. “I can call him.” She pulled out her cell phone, immediately going to her list of contacts and selecting the number with ‘Dad’ next to it.

“Don’t worry, I’m sure he’ll know. Try not to think about it?” She offered with a wince. It was painful to look at. Allison couldn’t imagine what an arrow to the thigh felt like. It had to be excruciating. She hoped they could somehow get Isaac pain medication even if they had to avoid hospitals.

Isaac was surprised to realize he could easily hear her father on the other side of the phone. Even more so, that he was already looking for them. That couldn't be good, could it? Maybe he should have left Derek a note or something. This was probably why he had wanted Isaac and Erin to stay inside the apartment until "others" arrived. Derek had probably planned to tell them all what they were but Isaac jumped the gun. He'd wanted to see the gorgeous girl on his phone, Derek be damned.

Now she was upset and crying and he was upset and in pain and he had a sudden flash of being locked in the dark and shivered.

While they spoke, Isaac tried not to eavesdrop but it was near on impossible. He fingered the arrow, testing how deep it was and if he should just pull it out. But Allison had been pretty close to him when she shot him and the arrow went fairly deep. His leg was throbbing and aching, but he kind of thought it should hurt more than it did. Maybe that was party of what? Magic? That's why Allison had called it.

Isaac sighed and slid back down the tree, making his leg as comfortable as he could make it to wait for Allison's father.
