The Awakening ²|Isaac Lahey

29. Ketamine Shot

Veronica walked into the rave with Isaac and Erica behind her. She said she'd be here. So she was. She looked around the room. Isaac was holding, no gripping, onto her hand. She looked up at him, as he was looking for Jackson. Veronica turned her head slightly as someone said Isaac's name. Scott.

Pulling the girl with him, he went towards Scott. The boy glanced down at their hands before pulling out the needle to give it to Isaac.

"Why me?" Isaac asked.

"Because i have to make sure that Argent doesn't completely ruin the plan." he said. Isaac looked around. "Okay, look, you better do it intravenously which means in the vein. When you find him, you pull back on this plunger right here. In the neck probably is going to be the easiest. So you find a vein, you jam it in there and pull back on the trigger. And be careful." he explained to him.

That made Isaac chuckle as he took the needle. "Oh, i doubt it'll even slightly hurt him." Isaac said.

"No, I mean you." He said. Isaac turned to him in shock. Scott briefly glanced down at Veronica before looking back at Isaac, she was starting to look more like herself,"I don't want you getting hurt." Isaac stared at him in shock as he turned to walk away.

Veronica looked up at Isaac. The boy still didn't know what to say. She patted his shoulder. "What?" she asked in a quiet voice.

Isaac shook his head softly. He then turned his head down to look at her. "That was just a little bit weird." He said honestly. It was weird. Veronica wasn't expecting Scott to come around to Isaac so fast.

"Let's go find Jackson!" she said with a sigh. She started to walk one way but pause. Isaac looked at her weirdly as she turned and started walking totally different direction.

And surely enough that direction took them straight to Jackson. Veronica slid her hand up his back, trying to hide the grimace her face wanted to make. She moved to the front of him as Isaac moved in directly behind her. One arm around Jackson, and the other pulling Isaac's face closer to hers.

And she hated every second of it. Dancing with Jackson and Isaac at the same time. Jackson rubbing up against her. Isaac right behind her. Lydia God knows where, having no clue this was happening. It was wrong. Awful. Horrible. This was the plan to save him, and yet she still felt like a horrible friend. But she had to stick to the plan. She could feel Jackson's breath by her ear. She leaned more against Isaac as Jackson smiled down at her. Wasn't she supposed to come here with somebody? She felt Isaac smile from behind her, as his hands pulled something out of his pocket.

So this was happening.

Before Isaac could get close enough, Jackson pushed his head against Veronica's before digging his claws into her side. She could feel from the way Isaac had recoiled Jackson did the same to him. She held onto her side, her body leaning more into Isaac's.

"She belongs to me." He said to Veronica angrily as she doubled over in pain, and dropped to the floor next to Isaac. She could still move, there wasn't enough of his venom in it to paralyze her.

She moved her eyes around, trying to find Erica in the crowd. She was gone. Where the hell was Erica. Isaac got to his knees, he went for the syringe, but it had gotten kicked away from him. He moved forward to grab it, struggling to get up. Slowly, he caught up with Jackson and stabbed him with the syringe in the neck. Veronica slowly got up and followed after the boys.

"This is the last time I come to a rave." She grumbled from behind them.

"Where the hell did you guys go?" Erica asked coming up from behind them. Veronica visibly jumped.
