The Awakening ²|Isaac Lahey

28. Child of the Damned

After a quick trip home so she could change her clothes, Veronica got to sit in the passenger seat while Isaac drove her to the movies. She looked at herself through the side mirrors and smiled. She couldn't remember the last time she had been on a date. On a date that lasted to be exact.

Isaac was different. Isaac was good in all of the ways Veronica never would be. He got to be normal. And though she envied most people who got to be normal at least once in her life, she never felt that about him. She felt something better. And something much stronger.

The girl turned back to Isaac,"What movie are we going to be watching?" she asked grabbing the last of her fries from the greasy bag.

Isaac smiled. He glanced over at her. "Do you have to know everything?"

"Yeah actually I do." She said jokingly. She bit her lip with a smile. "I'm sort of a control freak. You should know this about me if you're gonna be my boyfriend."

"List all of the things that are right in your life." He said to her.

Veronica thought for a moment. "Okay. I finally know what really happened to my mom. I have idiotic friends. Things are starting to turn around with my sister. I have an amazingly hot and very sweet boyfriend." Isaac smiled and shook his head. "Who I could've had a lot sooner if I wasn't a total idiot."

"Is that where your mind goes?" He asked looking over at her. She shrugged softly.

"Possibly. I'll tell you if you tell me what we're watching." She raised her eyebrows at him.

Isaac shook his head as he pulled into the theater. Against his wishes, She paid for the tickets. Or rather she gave Isaac the money so he could by the tickets. He then covered her eyes and walked her to the theater room. Veronica sat down in the middle. Isaac looked down at her. "This is where you want to sit?"

"This is the perfect spot to watch, Lahey." She said. "Are you questioning my judgement?"

He thought for a moment before taking a seat next to her. She smiled. She leaned over and whispered,"You know, I've actually been to the movies before right? Me and Mattheo go all the time." Isaac let out a sigh. "I just thought you should know witches do this as well." She teased him.

"Normal people don't randomly talk about witches." He teased her back. Veronica bit her lip and leaned back into her seat.

"I suppose you're right." She said. She watched all of the credits and ads before she finally got a glimpse of the title screen. She gasped slightly. "Are we watching a Romcom?" She asked in shock before shaking her head in disapproval.

Isaac smiled into his drink. "This is what normal people do." He joked.

Veronica hated the movie. "I just don't understand why every single movie has to have an act three break up. You know they're gonna get together in the end. So why can't they be together the entire time." She said looking at Isaac who was shaking his head. It's been half an hour since they left the movies. Veronica scoffed. Not at him, but at the stupidity of movies.

"Are you finally ready to talk about it?" He asked. Veronica took a drink out of what was left of her cup. "Losing your powers?"

Veronica sighed and looked at him. "Part of me thinks it's for the best. I'd be normal. But being a witch is all i know. I rely on my magic for everything. If i had one of your socks i could track you down from a whole different continent. Y'know? I could do anything. Stiles has this ring i made him, they all do. Allison, Lydia, Sheriff and Melissa. They have things rings that i casted a spell on. They'll protect them from any supernatural death. Like if Allison was randomly ran over by a car that a werewolf was driving, she'd wake up and be fine. I could use a spell right now that would stop your heart from beating, and I could use another spell to start it beating again." She said to him. "I don't want to be normal. It scares me. I don't know what i need to do. Apologize to mother nature or touch the most magical item we have. But i need to get my powers back at full strength."
