{ALEX'S POV}
I woke up on Derek's couch in a haze. The last thing I remember was..... did I faint? I rubbed my temples in an attempt to ease the ever growing headache.
"You're awake" Isaac's relieved voice came from behind me. I turned to find him propped in the entrance from the hall.
"I am" I sighed as placed my face back into my hands. I heard Isaac's footsteps coming around the right hand side of the couch and then the couch sunk a bit beside me.
"You feeling ok?" he quizzed concerned.
"I freaking fainted Isaac, what do you think?!" I snapped slightly before sighing. I don't know why my anger was always taking over my mind all the time recently.
"I was just asking a question because I care about your well being" Isaac grumbled, obviously annoyed at my anger, but I wasn't going to apologize.
"Whatever" I sighed as I stood to my feet.
"Where are you going?" he quizzed.
"Well I don't necessarily feel like staying inside after hours of sleep" I snapped before continuing to the front door. Once outside I traversed deep into the woods behind Derek's house, stopping at the brush near a stream. It was the same brush that I had used to hide Jackson and Myself from the hunters.
I missed hanging out with him. Why does he have to be such a cocky jerk? It's not like I meant to strip him of his werewolf powers. I sank onto the grass by the slowly flowing stream and just stared into it.
How did everything get so screwed up? It seems like it was just yesterday that Isaac and I were messing around in the back yard as kids, mom and dad still together. Little did I know that dad abused Isaac so bad that he refused to throw a funeral for him.
I still remember the blind trust I had in my father. I believed every single word he said. Even when he told me that Isaac was just getting bullied at school, just to find out that it was actually him that gave Isaac the bruises on the outside and the scars on his heart.
If my father had been lying to me all those years... if I couldn't trust my own father.... who could I trust? Someone I had known since my birth had been lying strait to my face. I know that Isaac trusts his friends here, but how can he expect me to.
I felt my fingers digging angrily into the soil at my sides but I couldn't find it in my heart to stop. How do I know Isaac hasn't been lying to me? I know these thoughts are irrational but... how can I be sure? Silent angry tears fell down my cheeks. I don't know why all of these thoughts kept entering my head, but once they did, they wouldn't leave. Anger, fear, betrayal, hurt, distrust.
{ISAAC'S POV}
I watched after my sister as she left out the front door. I desperately wanted to follow her, but knew she needed some time to herself. There had to be another explanation for her anger, she couldn't be turning evil could she? It could be that time of the month, some girls get angry at that point right?
I ran a shaky hand through my curls. Derek's theory was getting to me. I couldn't just kill my sister, she's...... she's my sister. Besides it's not like she had shown signs of distrust, the thing that Derek said came after the anger. Maybe she was just stress out or something, but something kept telling me that that wasn't the case.
"Isaac?" Derek asked from the hall entrance, his voice full of concern. I didn't know why he sounded concerned until I realized that I was shaking uncontrollably. I tried to stop the shaking by wrapping my arms around my stomach, but that only seemed to worsen the shaking. At that point Derek took a few steps toward me, but I stepped backwards.
"Isaac, what's wrong" he begged noticing that I kept backing away.
"This is all your fault, you put all these thoughts in my head" I accused on the verge of yelling. I never meant to snap at Derek, but I just felt like exploding. Everything seemed to be way out of my control now days, and it sucked.
"Isaac-" he began guiltily but cut him off.
"Your the one that told me I might have to kill my sister! My own sister!" I yelled "I can't kill Alex, Derek. I can't kill her, I can't." At that point I had started sobbing and folding in on myself trying to push away the hurt in my heart. I didn't realize how much I needed someone's support right now until I felt Derek's warm muscular arms wrap around me and I found myself unconsciously burring my tear stained face in his chest. Derek rubbed soothing circles on my back as I just sobbed and sobbed. What was I going to do?
