Fashionably Late .: Isaac&Jackson
It was unusual for Bonnie not to have least let him know if he had the place to himself for the night. But as the hours ticked by there was no note, no text, nothing to provide any sort of clue as to where his host had gone for the evening. And while it was nice to have a place to crash, Isaac was bored. It was too dark to continue his efforts of mapping out the Bayou and without any magic to practice with, he needed to find something to do before he went stir crazy. And while his magic seemed to be inaccessible, it wouldn’t hurt to have a look at one of Bonnie’s spell books while she was away…
Flipping through the pages, a piece of paper with some hastily scrawled writing fell to the floor and landed lightly at his feet. Isaac recognized witch’s handwriting - but it wasn’t a spell of any kind. It was a location, the Opera House, a time, and…..an all too familiar name: Davina Claire. Was this where Bonnie had gone for the night? Davina’s event at the Opera house?
While he knew he lacked an invitation himself, a walk into town couldn’t hurt. After all it was dark and he could easily blend in if needed. It would be worth the risk if he could manage to see Davina
For the most part, many of the streets were deserted as most of the residents were in for the night and the shops closed. A couple of shady figures here and there but nothing unusual until he drew closer to the Opera House. He heard the shots whistling through the air before the building came into sight. But that wasn’t anything compared to the voices, full of pain and suffering, that grew louder and louder the closer he got.
Ducking into a nearby alley that gave him a clear view of the scene unfolding, he watched a multitude of scenes unfold before him with an unreadable expression. People trying to escape but finding themselves stuck behind some sort of barrier. And not just people trying to leave, but those trying for the front door as well….He recognized powerful magic when he saw it. He pressed himself back into the shadows of the alley as a couple more shots rang out - peering up cautiously as he tried to locate the source of the gunfire. Maybe a boring night in would have been a better option…
But Bonnie was in there somewhere from what he could put together. And Davina. He needed to make sure the witches were okay in the midst of all this chaos. Taking a cautious step out onto the street, careful to stick to the shadows, he felt someone barrel into him in an attempt to get somewhere quickly. He quickly regained himself and watched as the figure ran off down the street, obviously scared of something.
When he turned back, the smell hit him almost has hard as the disappearing figure. Blood. A lot of it. The bitter and sharp smell made him want to run but he couldn’t. Not when there were people that could use his help and he could find his friends in the process. The smell grew stronger as he grew closer to the opera house, sticking to the shadows to remain undetected by the gunmen - until he found himself crouching down beside a parked car where the smell was originating from. And another scent, the same type that hit him whenever he talked with Derek…
The hairs on the back of his neck raised and he swallowed back the new sense of panic that ran over him as he questioned himself for the hundredth time why he didn’t stay in the Bayou tonight. Picking his gaze up slightly, he caught sight of the two bodies in the backseat and quickly assessed there wasn’t much he could do for them. But there was someone in the front seat - the one that exuded the powerful smell of an alpha and blood.
Moving silently, he brought himself up to the window and into eye line of the injured wolf - hopefully in a non-aggressive or threatening manner - and raised his hands in innocence. “I can help…” he murmured, his eyes unflinching but wary as he waited to see how his aid would be received.
