Promise

Isaac called a Pack Meeting the next night.

"Gerard Argent is in the kingdom. We must all be careful when on patrol- he nearly got Derek. You are not to engage him unless attacked first. He is here to avenge his daughter's death...let us not give him anymore reason to gather Hunters here." Isaac informed them.

"So what do we do?" Cora asked.

"We watch. Find out what he is planning, why he is here truthfully. Vengeance for Kate's death is just a cover-up." Isaac answered.

"We can do nothing but wait." Deaton added. With that the meeting ends.

Isaac was getting comfortable in his bed when there was a knock at the door and Scott stuck his head in.

"Izzie?" He asked hesitantly.

"Yes Little One?" Isaac replied.

"C-can I sleep with you? Just for tonight." Without answering Isaac pulled back the covers. Scott let out a relieved sigh and hastily got under the covers. He was clutching a stuffed panda bear to his chest. Isaac smiled.

"I remember getting that for you." He whispered.

"Hmm, you cheated." Scott mumbled.

"You call it cheating, I call it using my superior abilities." Isaac laughed while Scott shook his head in amusement and disbelief.

It had been a tradition- Isaac would take Scott (and sometimes Melissa) to the annual Beacon Hills Carnival. He would play a game and win a stuffed animal for Scott. They went every year so Scott had twelve stuffed animals so far. From birds, to bears, to snakes and everything in between. Scott would sleep with that one stuffed animal until he got a new one and then he'd but the old one on a shelf with the others. He said it was so they could watch over him- protect him and his mother (he had been eight at the time). Isaac won the panda bear last year. Scott had been staring at the panda with the saddest look in his eyes after three failed attempts to win it- he had even pouted and looked about to cry.

"Izzie!" He whined like he did every year. Isaac laughed and stepped up to the booth. The goal was to use the ten balls you had to hit and knock down the ten targets. Scott- and everyone else- had hit the targets but failed to knock all ten down. Isaac was determined to win the stuffed animal for Scott- no matter what. The kicked puppy look Scott gave him was really crushing his heart. Scott had cheered him on while he watched. After trying twice (just to make things less suspicious) Isaac won. He asked for the panda bear and watched happily as Scott's face beamed as he took it from Isaac and snuggled it. "Thanks Izzie." Scott whispered.

"Anytime Pup." Isaac responded. People had awwed and said it was sweet, which made Isaac blush and Scott agree, a woman even offered them free ice cream after seeing the spectacle.

Scott had fallen asleep on the ride home full on funnel cakes and cotton candy with a smile on his face and the panda wrapped tightly in his arms.

"We will be okay, right?" Scott asked quietly. "I have to admit that I am scared. I know you know what you are doing, but I am scared for you- for the Pack and my mother. I can not- you can not...promise me you will not leave. You mean a lot to me Izzie, I would not be able to bare it if you left. For any reason." Isaac's heart clenched.

"I promise as long as you promise as well." He muttered.

"I promise."

"As do I. Now get some sleep Pup." Scott snuggled into Isaac's warmth still clutching the panda tightly.
