Witchy Woman

two

Scott looked at the two, how do they know each other? He watched the scene in front of him unravel.
"Derek? Wait. This is the Alpha that you've been talking about?" Stella questioned Scott "I thought you were..." she trailed off, "I should've know it was you Hale." She smiled at him.
Derek looked at her, she looked the same as she did in high school, although he did notice her hair was darker and he could smell another scent on her, but he couldn't quite figure it out.  "What are you doing..? Wait sister? She's your sister?" Derek questioned wanting more answers.
"Older sister huh?" Isaac said trying to play off his nervousness, looking towards Stella.
Scott growled protectively and Isaac turned back towards the water, Stiles walked over to her giving her a hug, "Wow, you haven't changed a bit Stiles, how's the progress on your 10 year plan for making Lydia fall in love with you?"
"Well, it's still going you could say." Stiles said rubbing the back of his neck.
Deaton cleared his throat, "Alright, maybe you should catch up and answer questions later, we've got to do this now."
All Derek could do was stare at Stella, still taken aback with her being back in Beacon Hills.
Scott looked at Deaton and his sister, "How slow does his heart rate need to be?"
"Very slow." Deaton answered plainly.
Derek turning away from Stella questioned, "Okay, well, how slow is very slow?"
Stella walked towards the circle around the tub, "Nearly dead." She answered looking at him. They all looked at her concerned, when they heard Isaac sharply inhale, seeing he felt how cold the water was Stella knelt down next to him, "Hey, it'll be okay, we'll be here to pull you back" she gave him a small smile.
He looked at her with concern in his eyes, "Its safe though, right?"
She looked up at Deaton and then back to Isaac, "Do you want me to answer honestly?"
He looked away, answering tensely, "No. No, not really."
The awkwardness in the room was broken by the sound of rubber gloves snapping, all of them turned to see Stiles. He looked up to see them staring at him, "What?" He questioned. They all looked at him, making him take off the glove and walk back over to the tub.
Isaac exhaled a nervous breath, Derek noticing told him, "Look, if it feels too risky, you don't have to do this." They all looked at him nodding their heads, knowing what they were asking was dangerous.
Isaac answered by taking his shirt off and stepping into the tub, Derek and Scott each took a hold of his shoulders in one hand and his upper arms in the other and pushed him under. A couple minutes passed and Isaac came roaring out of the water, half transformed, "Get him back under." Deaton ordered, this time Stiles assisted by grabbing Isaac's legs.
Isaac struggled under the water coming up, gasping for air. This time Stella spoke up, "Hold him."
Derek looks up raising his voice, "We're trying!"
They push him back under and Isaac finally succumbed, he slowly comes up, transfixed, not feeling the bitter cold water. Stella raises her hand to catch the others attention, "Now remember, only I talk to him." She looked at each of them, "Too many voices will confuse him and draw him out." She explained meeting Derek's eyes, he looks away looking back at Isaac. In a soft voice Stella asks, "Isaac? Can you hear me?"
With closed eyes Issac answers, "Yes. I can hear you."
Scott looks at Stella, impressed that it's working. She continues talking to Isaac, "This is Stella, I'd like to ask you a few questions, is that alright?"
"Yes."
"I want to ask you about the night you found Erica and Boyd." Stella tells him, remembering what Scott filled her in on, "I want you to remember it for me in as vivid detail as possible, like you're actually there again."
The sound of thunder can be heard and Isaac starts to shake his head, "I-I don't wanna do that. I don't-I don't wanna do that." The lights in the room start to flicker and Issac begins to struggle, "I don't wanna do that" he repeats.
"Isaac it's alright." Stella tells him calmly as the rest of them continue holding him down, "Just relax. They're just memories. You can't be hurt by a memory."
Isaac continues to repeat his statement, "I don't wanna do that."
"It's alright" Stella reassures him. "Just relax, relax. Good" she says as he stops struggling, "Now let's go back to that night. To the place you found Erica and Boyd. Can you tell me what you see? Is there some kind of building? A house?"
"It's not-It's not a house. It's stone." He answers, "I think marble."
"That's perfect." Stella tells him, "Can you give me any other descriptors?
"It's dusty, so empty"
"Like an abandoned building?" She suggests. Suddenly the thunder gets louder, Isaac doesn't answer, "Isaac?" Stella questions, "Isaac?" She repeats louder.
"Someone's here." He states frantically grabbing Scott's forearm.
"Isaac relax" She tells him again.
"No, no, no. They see me. They see me!" He shouts struggling once again.
"Just memories Isaac, you won't be hurt by your memories" Stella says comfortingly "Just relax. Relax. Good." she says once more. "Now tells us what you see. Tell us everything."
Isaac opens his eyes, looking straight ahead, "I hear him. He's talking about the full moon, about being out of control when the moon rises." Derek and Scoot look at each other, and then towards Stella.
"Is he talking to Erica?" She questions.
"I think so, I can't-I can't see her, I ca-" he answers between shivers, "I can't-I can't see either of them"
"Can you hear anything else?"
"They're worried." He states, looking up at the ceiling, "They're worried what they'll do during the full moon. They're-" he pauses, "worried what they'll do to each other."
Derek looks up whispering, "If they're locked in together on the full moon, they're gonna tear each other apart."
"Isaac, we need to find them right now. Can you see them?" This time she asks in a more urgent tone. "Do you know what kind of room it is? Is there any kind of marker? A number on a door? A sign?"
Isaac abruptly sits up, whispering, "They're here" and continues to repeat those words, panicking.
"It's alright. Just tell us-" She's cut off by Isaac's yelling.
"This isn't working." Derek states irritated, "Isaac, where are you?" He asks grabbing a hold of him.
Isaac shouts, "I cant see them it's too dark! I can't see them!"
"Just tell me where you are. Isaac, where are you?" Derek says enunciating his last sentence.
"His heart rate! He could go into shock." Stella informs Derek trying to get him to be quiet.
"Derek, let him go!" Scott shouts at him.
"Isaac, where are you?" What did you see?" Derek shouts.
"A vault! It's a bank vault!" Isaac answers. "I saw it!" He yells, out of his trance, "I saw the name." He sates quickly, getting out of the cold water and into a warm towel, "Its uh, Beacon Hills First National Bank. It's um, it's an abandoned bank, and they're keeping them locked inside, inside the vault." He looks around at everyone noticing tension in the room, "What?"
"You don't remember what you said right before you came out of it, do you?" Stiles asks.
"No." Isaac answers shaking his head.
"You said when they captured you that they dragged you into a room and that there was a body in it." Stiles continued, "Erica, you said it was Erica."
