Steady [Isaac Lahey x OC]

Chapter 3

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. She saw girls her age having their throats slit, she shivered at the thought.

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."
