A/N Nothing really to say here except that I am so happy that you guys love this story, it's absolutely amazing to know that you guys enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it.

"What is that?" Sage jumped up to check the back of Isaac's neck, shocked by the claw marks.

"It's how alpha's share memories." Derek answered, walking around Scott to get a better look at Isaac's wound.

"But he doesn't remember anything." She looked between Derek and Isaac, trying to make sense of the situation.

"That's also how they steal them." Isaac's voice was coarse, he was clearly still in pain from the accident.

"How did you know that?" Scott asked him, expecting Derek to be the one with all the answers.

"The girl." Isaac paused for a moment, "The girl that saved me, that's what she said to me before..."

Sage sat down next to him and grabbed his hand, intertwining their fingers gently, "What happened?"

Isaac could feel the burning sensation on the back of his neck, he was losing consciousness and his wound wasn't healing. He was about to pass out when arms lifted him up and placed him onto the back of a motorcycle.

"Stay with me Isaac." It was a woman's voice.

"My neck.." Isaac's voice was faint, barely audible.

"From their claws. It's how they share memories."

"But I don't remember anything." Isaac's confusion grew, "Why don't I remember anything?"

"That's also how they steal memories." Her voice was solid, emotionless. It reminded him a little of Derek.

Isaac started to think of Derek, and slowly travelled on to thinking of other members of the pack. His mind faded to Sage, specifically the memory of Sage at the last lacrosse game of sophomore year. The way the field lights made her normally chocolate brown eyes seem like a beautiful hazel. He adored her eyes.

"Listen to me. Whatever happens, you hold on. Okay? You hold on tight." The mystery woman mounted herself on the motorcycle and started it.

A crash sounded in the distance and worry set in on Isaac's face. "I hear something." He paused to listen in as the crash got louder. "Someone's coming, go go go!" Isaac wrapped his arms around the woman as she sped off from the spot they were parked.

Isaac tried his best to hang on, but he was slipping in and out of consciousness and his grip kept loosening. He tried to hold on as tightly as he could, but they only got a mile or two before his grip completely loosened and the motorcycle slid, colliding with a dumpster.

"I told you to hang on." Isaac was so out of it he barely heard her.

Just before he could make a sly response, two shadows began hovering over them. He might've been seeing things but he swore that he saw the two shadows turned into one. The last thing her remembered before losing consciousness was a bright wave of electricity.

"Then I woke up in the hospital and some woman dressed as a nurse knocked me out." Isaac gently tried to press his hand against his wound, but Sage swatted him away.

"Stop touching it, Scott can you go grab some rubbing alcohol from the basement?" Sage turned to look at her best friend.

"Don't bother. It's up here in a bag over there." Derek pointed at the duffle bag on the table. "Seraphina and I don't actually live here anymore. It was just the closest place I could think of in short notice."

"You moved and didn't tell any of us?" Sage looked up at him, and annoyed look on her face.

"Not the time Sage." Scott said handing her the rubbing alcohol.

"Shut it McCall." She rolled her eyes before looking up at Derek. "Why isn't this healing?"

"An alpha did it. It's gonna have to heal the human way." He replied.

"Well, good thing I have this." She reached into her bag and pulled out a sewing kit. "You're gonna hate this." She handed Isaac a wet rag.

"I'm gonna hate a wet rag?" Isaac had his usual puppy dog look on his face.

"No honey," She laughed a little before grabbed a dry towel and wetting it with rubbing alcohol. "Bite down on that for me." She waited for him to oblige before looking at Derek and Scott, "Hold him still."

"Stiles what's up?" Scott placed his phone on speaker and set it on the table near the couch.

"Where the hell are you two? We just got attacked by birds!" Stiles was whisper-yelling, and Sage assumed he was still at the school.

"There are so many jokes I can make right now, but I'm gonna give you the chance to elaborate." Sage held back her laughter.

"Haha so funny. I'm serious. We were in class and a bunch of ravens slammed into the window. They broke the windows open. I'm here with Lydia, we can't find Seraphina. So where the hell are you guys." Stiles wasn't joking and it worried both of his best friends.

"Meet us at Derek's." Scott called into the phone.

"Why the hell are you at Derek-" Sage didn't let him finish.

"Get your ass here. Don't ask questions." Sage stood up and hung up the phone, turning on her heels to face the others. "I think he got the message."

"You terrify me sometimes." Isaac spoke, but there was admiration and adoration in his eyes.

She laughed a little and sat down next to him, pressing her lips softly against his cheek. She grabbed the towel from the bowl and continued trying to clean the now stitched wound on the back of Isaac's neck. It was painful, but he managed to get through it without killing her, which she appreciated.

"Wow so you guys just ditched school to check on Isaac?" Stiles said as he stormed into the house, only to be slapped by Sage and Derek. "Ow! There's two of you now?"

"Be lucky neither of us used full force." Sage gave him an annoyed smile before turning to Lydia. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I just want to know what the hell just happened." Lydia played it cool, but Sage could tell she was freaked out. The last two days were starting to take a toll.

The next hour or so was spent explaining the situation with Isaac, what took place at the hospital, and Stiles attempting, and failing to explain what happened at the school. Lydia eventually stepped up and gave a logical reenactment.

Just as the conversation wrapped up, the door swung open and Seraphina walked in with a horrified look on her face.

"Does someone wanna explain to me why I was just assaulted by a girl looking for you." She pointed at Scott, and on her wrist there was a bruise that seemed to be half of a symbol of some sort.

"Me? Why would they be looking for me?" If Scott was confused at the start of this, words couldn't describe how lost he was now.

"Seraphina, what happened to your arm." Stiles also spotted the bruise and jumped up, grabbing her arm gently.

"I don't know, it must've happened after the girl grabbed me." Seraphina shrugged, but her face was clearly starting to heat up.

"Seraphina let me see that bruise." Lydia stood up and walked over. "Holy shit."

"What's going on?" Sage looked at her best friend, her face marked with confusion.

"It's the same as mine." She lifted her arm and sure enough, Lydia's wrist had an identical bruise.

"Still think it's not supernatural?" Stiles asked.

"No but I still think you're an idiot." Sage rolled her eyes at her best friend. "But sometimes I really hate when you're right."
