Ch. 28 - ILLUMINATED

"What do you mean? Like, masks?" Allison asked and Isaac stared past them, "One of them... I could see his eyes... They were greenish-yellow, like a- like a firefly..." Isaac said, making Argent's eyes widen slightly before he got up and walked over to the window. "Security system wasn't triggered." Argent said, making Allison look at him while Nabina took in a deep shaky breath as she ran a hand through her hair.

"Then how did they get in?" Allison asked and Nabina shook her head slightly, "They didn't. It was like they came out of the shadows." She said and Allison furrowed her brows when Argent seemed to know what Isaac was talking about. "Do you know what that means? Dad...?" She asked, making him look at her, "Um... I'm not sure." He said before walking over to them.

"Listen, the three of you... I need you to keep this quiet for a few hours." He said and Isaac looked up at him, "From everyone?" He asked. "Just twenty-four hours." He said and Allison looked at him, "They could have killed them." She said and he nodded.

"But they didn't... And I think there's a reason why... I think they might have been after me." He said, making the three teens glance at each other as he walked away.

"Well, you guys aren't hypothermic or anything. No wounds, nothing. Other than being shaken up, you guys are completely fine." Saanvi said after checking Nabina and Isaac over after they went home. "I didn't feel fine." Nabina said and Saanvi glanced down and noticed how the couple were tightly and comfortingly holding each other's hands, making her sigh softly.

"I assume the last thing you guys would want is to be alone right now so this is the one time I will allow you two to sleep in the same room." Saanvi said, making both of them look at her shocked, "Really?" Isaac asked and Saavni nodded. "Wow. If I knew all we needed was to be attacked by shadow ninjas for you to break your separate rooms rule, I would have done that sooner." Nabina said and her mother gave her a look.

"Don't make me change my mind. And the door has to be open all the way." Saanvi said and they nodded, "I'm not complaining." Nabina said.

A few minutes later Nabina and Isaac walked into Nabina's room and Nabina took her jacket and shoes off. "So that was something new." Nabina said as Isaac sat down on the bed, "Are you okay?" He asked, making her look at him. "Are you?" She asked as she walked over to him.

Isaac wrapped his arms around her waist as she draped her arms over his shoulders. "I'm okay." Isaac said and Nabina nodded, "I'm exhausted but I also don't know if I'll be able to sleep." She said, making Isaac chuckle and nod in agreement.

Nabina went to turn off the lamp by her bed but paused for a moment as she stared at it. "I think I'm gonna leave this on." She said, looking at Isaac and he nodded, "Good idea."

Isaac walked up to the loft door and pulled it open before pausing slightly as Nabina and Allison walked up to him, also pausing. They glanced around at the strobe lights, DJ, and giant crowd of people dancing and covered in UV paint.

"Derek can never know about this." Isaac said and Nabina laughed, "Derek is going to kill them." She said, glancing at Allison, who looked at her in amusement.

A little while later, Nabina walked over to Isaac after talking to Allison. "Have you seen Scott?" He asked as she stood next to him, "He just got here with Stiles and Kira." She said and he nodded slightly, "You tell him what happened?" He asked and Nabina shook her head.

"No, we still have a couple hours, remember? We promised Argent." She said and he shook his head slightly, "Allison promised Argent." He said and she rolled her eyes slightly. "Well you're gonna keep the secret for a couple more hours." She said and he shook his head slightly, "I don't like keeping secrets from Scott." He said.
