Isabelle had had a whirlwind of a junior year. From her nightmares coming back to her best friend not being dead and her brother not being human… she was hoping for a break soon. The silver lining came in the form of Garrett. At first she was wary with him, someone as confident as him wanting to be with someone as shy as her. And then when he used her.. her faith wasn’t ruined. But low and behold, months later, they had been dating for almost a year. And she couldn’t be happier.
He was her confidant. If there was something she couldn’t go to Jordan or Boyd with, like her nightmares, she could go to him and know he wasn’t judging her or thinking she was exaggerating. And she could go to him with questions she had about everything going on around them. She was new to the ‘supernatural’ world, learning that Jordan was… something, Boyd was a werewolf and half the school wasn’t all human.
She tightened her grip on her book-bag as they walked home from school, glancing forward to where his brother was. Even if she was new to the whole thing, she wasn’t new to telling when someone was plagued with worry She lived with that her whole life. Taking her eyes away from Rocky, she looked up at him, a frown on her face. “How do you figure?” She questioned, taking his hand as they continued to walk.
“I’ve sort of been testing it.” Garrett admitted, thumb rubbing over over the back of Isabelle’s hand unconsciously. “I don’t think he realizes it, but he tends to avoid coming anywhere near my room. I’m guessing because I lined the entry and the windows with mountain ash. Plus, just from what I can tell from the family.. He went on a trip last year and came back a whole new person. If that doesn’t scream supernatural, I don’t know what does.”
Talking about this sort of stuff was second nature, and he did appreciate that Isabelle seemed more willing to learn nowadays than she was scared. He’d worried about making her nightmares worse at first, but he hoped that with her knowledge of the real evils, it could give her the upper hand on any nightmare. Things that tried to get her would have to get through him, and her own knowledge of the defenses she could mount.
“I don’t think he’s necessarily a werewolf, though. He’s not really acting like an omega wolf would. He’d have sought out an alpha already, or at least looked for some sort of help. No, I think he’s scared of what he is... Whatever that may be. I just.. Don’t get the same vibe I get from like, Boyd.”
