"meet the mute"

Issac tiptoed into his sister's room, pulling the hood of his sleeveless hoodie over his damp hair. He had just gotten back from Sam's house and he had orders to fulfill.

"Daisy, wake up," he whispers to his sister, his hands gently shaking her shoulders. "We have to be somewhere."

Daisy groans, slapping at the boy's hands away from her shoulders. Issac laughs, pulling the covers off of the bed. His sister squirms around before picking her head up to glare at Issac.

Issac's laughter grows when he sees Daisy's middle finger rise into the air. After she's done flicking her brother, she grabs the whiteboard and marker off her nightstand.

What do we have to do at eight pm? She asks her brother, tossing the whiteboard at him.

"There's some people you need to meet, officially." Issac says.

The Black siblings pulled up to the Uley household just as the sun began to set. They could see the light burning inside of the house, indicating that someone was home. Daisy was nervous - she was meeting the people who would essentially become her new family.

"They all already know so much about you," Issac says to his sister, putting their car into park before turning to Daisy. He knew she was nervous but he had no reason to me, the pack would love her.

With a shaky hand, Daisy writes a quick response. How?

"When we're in wolf form, we can read each other's thoughts and kind of see into each other's minds. So, they've seen you in my mind." Issac explains, shrugging his shoulder.

Do they know? Daisy writes, biting her lip as she glances at the house in front of them.

Issac nods, sighing. "Sam is the only one that knows. That's one thing I try not to think about."

Daisy sighs, placing a comforting hand on her brother's shoulder. She knew how hard this was for him, given how guilty he felt about the incident. Issac blamed himself for it and for what happened afterwards but Daisy and Lizzy never did.

Shall we go in? Daisy asks, a small smile on her face. This was important to Issac so she was willing to do it for him.

Issac nods, propping his door open and sliding out of their car. Daisy follows his action, taking in the house as a whole. It seemed cozy and homely - just like it should.

Daisy had just stepped onto the porch when Issac turns around, his hand on the door knob. "Don't stare at Emily, it bothers Sam."

Daisy nods, tucking her whiteboard under her arm. She understood this, probably better than anyone here. Issac understood this as well, he as the same way Sam was but only with his sister.

Issac pushed the door open, holding it open so his sister could cross the threshold into the house after he had. The second Daisy was in, she could smell something wonderful. She didn't know what it was, but it smelt amazing.

"Issac? Is that you?" A female voice calls from the kitchen and Daisy assumes that the voice belongs to Emily.

"Yeah, Em. We're here." Issac says, toeing off his shoes before disappearing through an entry way. Daisy quickly does the same, toeing off her shoes and following Issac into the kitchen.
