Steady [Isaac Lahey x OC]

Chapter 3 - The Truth (Teaser)

Carter woke up gasping for air as she clawed at her chest. Immediately Isaac's arms were holding her steady as she tried to regain her steady breaths.

"Carter, hey it's okay, I'm here." Isaac said nuzzling his head into her neck for comfort, "Whats wrong?"

Carter sighed, kissing the top of his head, "Nightmare.. I think."

She thought back to the images of her mother and her aunt and how her mother had saved her from undergoing to sick rituals of the harvest like her cousin. 

Isaac looked at her, confusion spread across his face, it must have been some nightmare if his girl had woken up screaming and gasping for air. His face held worry as he brushed his finger tips across Carter's cheek. 

Carter only smiled a soft, sad smile in response. She still couldn't shake the feeling of how real the dream was. Or she began to piece together that it was a memory.

"I think being here is starting to bring back some memories, Isaac." She whispered still keeping her gaze towards the wall across from the bed. 

Suddenly her phone began to buzz, she looked down in confusion seeing her brothers name invade the screen. 

Why would he call at 4am? Nevertheless she clicked the button to answer the phone. 

'Carter, hey sis, are you okay?'

Stiles' voice sounded worried but the tiredness in his voice prevailed. 

"Yeah, yeah I'm okay. Why are you calling this late?" She asked, rubbing her forehead. Isaac still sat up next to her, gently caressing the small of her back. 

'I just had the weirdest dream and woke up with a panic, I knew it had something to do with you Carter. I got worried.'

"Hm weird, must be a twin thing?" Isaac said out loud while raising an eyebrow.

'Isaac... Good to know you're there... in my sisters bed.'

Carter rolled her eyes, "Sorry I woke you up, didn't realize we were both having the same flashback."

'Flashback?'

"Yeah, I think it was a memory from when mom was alive. I don't know I'll look into it Stiles." Carter said. 

'Anyways.. How's New Orleans?'

Carter let out a small laugh at her brother, it was 4am and he treated their conversation as if it were a normal hour of the day. 

"I'm gonna make some coffee, you want some?" Isaac whispered in her ear as she smiled and nodded in response. 

Isaac knew his girlfriend, she wouldn't be able to sleep for the rest of the night and he wasn't about to let her stay up alone. 

"Ah well, I din't think the supernatural could get any weirder, but it did." She started. "You know vampires and all of that fun stuff."

'Wait what! Vampires? Like 'Blah i'm going to suck your blood' kinda vampires?!'

Carter laughed, "More or less sure. I'll give you the full run down when it's not 4am and you have preseason lacrosse practice early in the morning."

'Sounds good. I miss you Carter, so does Dad and Scott.' Stiles paused for a moment before continuing, 'Oh! and there's a new kid on the lacrosse team... he's kicking Scott's ass. We think he might be, you know, supernaturally inclined.''

"Oh god, please don't do anything stupid Stiles. And don't let Scott do anything stupid either!" Carter said annoyed knowing the two boys would do something ridiculous. 

'But that's our specialty, sis. Anyways I'll talk to you soon, love you.'

Carter smiled, "Love you too dingus."

Carter walked out into the living room of the small apartment noticing Isaac sitting on the balcony. Their balcony was small but had plants hanging from the top that made it feel homey and warm. There was a small circle table in-between two chairs. 

She noticed the cup of coffee on the other side of the table. She smiled walking over and sitting down. Isaac took a sip from his, looking at her. 

"Thought we could watch the sunrise." He said softly.

Carter looked out beyond the balcony, noticing the streets were still lit up from the night before. 

"What would I do without you?" She smiled at her boyfriend. 

"Die of boredom at 4 in the morning." He smirked into his coffee cup.
