Riley arranged to meet with Isaac to talk about what she saw. She still couldn't believe that he would attack Scott like that. She thought that they were at least friends. Aren't werewolves supposed to work together? Fight against those hunters that Isaac told her about. She felt so helpless and confused and felt like she didn't have a grip on reality because of this. She couldn't accept it to be right.

She sat on the park bench, warming herself up by cupping her hot drink as she sipped on it. She had been waiting for at least five minutes, but she let it slide. Isaac lived pretty far away from where she was.

Riley watched the kids running around in their large winter coats, playing in the thin layer of snow that had fallen during the night. It wasn't rare for Beacon Hills to have snow, but it didn't happen that often. Parents of the children sat together, talking about their lives and what's been going on. They were too far for Riley to hear, but then again, she didn't really care.

10 minutes passed. Then another 5. She was starting to wonder if he had forgotten about her. She was starting to get fed up with him. Here she was, waiting for him in the freezing cold, giving him a chance to explain himself. But no, of course not. He was too good for her. She guessed that he found new friends. A new family.

She stood up and started walking to her car, rolling her eyes profusely as she done so. He better have an amazing excuse as to why he was late. She got to her car, and to her surprise, she saw Isaac standing there on his phone.

"You didn't show up." Riley stated, crossing her arms in front of him. He looked up in surprise, then a large wave of relief washed over him.

"Oh my god, Riley, I thought something had happened to you!" He exclaimed, then crushed her into a hug. Riley was beyond confused, and she didn't hug back. What was he talking about?

"I was in the park. I'm guessing you didn't even go look?" She said as he let go. He frowned, as he looked at her large coat and fluffy hoodie.

"Of course I did. I came here and I saw your car, so I knew you were here. I tried to pick up your scent, but I couldn't. So, I looked in the park and couldn't see you anywhere. Maybe its because you were wearing that big ass coat and I didn't recognize you. I tried to sense you again, but I couldn't. Then again, I don't even know what you smell like. I mean, I know what your car and your house smells like, but when I look at you... I get nothing. Isn't that strange?" He explained, and Riley rolled her eyes. She had enough of this.

"You could have just called me like a normal person, but wait, you're not normal. You're a werewolf. Honestly, I am so tired of you standing me up and saying things and doing the opposite! Isaac, I'm starting to think that you don't care about me anymore." Riley said, and her voice got quiet. The actual thought of that... Riley didn't want to think about it. Isaac's eyes grew as he started to shake his head.

"No, no! That's not it at all. I care about you so much, more than anything in the world. I'm sorry, it's just that Derek is having us do so much stuff and it's really hard to keep up with everything else--"

"Of course it's Derek. Did he make you attack Scott or did you do that on your own accord? Because to me, it seemed like you were happy to do it!" Riley retorted, and Isaac fell back.

"Did Scott tell you about that?" He asked quietly, his hands bawled into fists. His eyes glowed golden, and he growled in anger.

"Scott didn't have to tell me because I was there. I saw it happen. Maybe you were too busy being malicious to notice!" Riley yelled, getting angry as well. She was tired of Isaac, he changed completely.

Riley had a very big bone to pick with Derek Hale, and you bet she was going to act on it.
