The next couple of days went by so slowly, Elaine was on the verge of wanting to leave and just go home. Scott and his friends were nice enough, but she still felt like an outsider.

She may have felt a little more at ease if Lydia didn't watch her like a hawk, her gaze laced with distrust and scrutiny. It was obvious she was trying to figure her out, like she knew Elaine wasn't telling the whole truth.

Then again, she wasn't.

Elaine's thoughts were interrupted when a knock sounded on the door, making her look up as she pulled her makeup bag out of her suit case. "Hey."

"Hey." Isaac took a deep breath, rubbing his hands together slowly as he stepped into the room. Elaine's face fell, knowing that whatever news he had wrote her couldn't be good.

"What is it?"

"So, Deaton called." Isaac gave her an apologetic look as he heard her heart start beating faster in anxiety. "He said that he's close to a solution, but it won't be finished until after the full moon."

Elaine closed her eyes, drawing in a long breath and pulling her knees to her chest. She wrapped her arms around her legs, resting her forehead on her knees as she exhaled.

"I'm sorry." Isaac walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, it taking everything in him not to hug her. She sighed and turned her head slightly, looking up at him.

"It's not your fault." Elaine gave him a small shrug, forcing a smile onto her face. "It's not anyone's fault, things happen. I can handle it."

"What do you want to do?" He asked, cocking his head to the side as he watched her with a worried expression.

"I can just spend the day in Mason's hotel room or something." Elaine suggested, distracting herself with a loose thread on the quilt. "I still don't really want them knowing, I guess."

"If you're worried about them judging you, they wo-"

"It's not that." She shook her head, biting down on her bottom lip. She looked up at him through her eyelashes, a sad look on her face. "When people find out, or believe me, they usually use me to communicate with their loved ones. With Allison, I'm just worried that they'll all try and do it, even if they won't mean to."

"I'm sorry, I didn't realize." Isaac suddenly became embarrassed, not knowing if he had been doing the same thing.

"No, no." She sat up straight, laying her hand on the bed a few inches away from his. "I'm not saying that you do it. Besides Mason, you're probably the only person who has completely respected my boundaries."

"No matter what happens, you have me." Isaac nodded, a serious look on her face as he looked into her eyes. "I'm not going to leave your side until the full moon is over, okay?"

"Okay."  Elaine smiled,  looking down at her hands for a moment. She suddenly got an idea, shifting slightly so that she could put her hand underneath the thick quilt. She moved her hand forward, sliding it underneath his own carefully.

Isaac let out a small chuckle, squeezing her hand through the blanket. He opened his mouth to say something, but he was interrupted by Stiles's voice.

"Hey guys, do you want to come with us to dinner?" Stiles walked into the room, Isaac and Elaine pulling their hands back quickly. "I think we're gonna get Mexican food."

"I love Mexican." Isaac stood up, shoving his hands in his pockets as he looked down at Elaine. "Only if you wanna go, though."

"Yeah." Elaine nodded, picking up her makeup bag. "Let me just finish getting ready and I'll be right down."

"Cool, I hope you aren't afraid of spicy food. I'm sure you don't know this, but Mexican food can be really spicy." Stiles nodded, Isaac and Elaine sharing a look.

"Thanks for the heads up." Elaine didn't have the heart to tell him that she'd been to Spain, or that they actually do have Mexican restaurants in France.

"Anything American, I'm your guy." Stiles ponies his thumbs back at himself, Isaac patting him on the shoulder.

"Let's go." Isaac steered him towards the door, shooting Elaine a wink before walking out into the hall.

Elaine let out a long sigh as she fell back onto the bed and looked at the ceiling, a funny feeling in her stomach that she wasn't used to.
