Ch. 28 - ILLUMINATED

"You frustrate me sometimes with that beta loyalty of yours." She said, making him look at her with a smirk, "Sexually?" He asked. She looked at him with raised eyebrows and scoffed playfully, making him smile at her. She bit her lip slightly as she smiled before grabbing his hand and walking over to the body paint table. "Can I borrow this?" Nabina asked as she grabbed a paint brush and the girl there shook her head.

Nabina turned around to look at Isaac and held the brush with her teeth. He watched as she unbuttoned her shirt and took it off before grabbing the paint brush. "Would you rather talk about Scott or would you rather paint my body?" She asked, holding the paintbrush out to him and he looked her up and down for a moment.

"I want to paint your body." He said, grabbing the paint brush making her raise her eyebrows and hum slightly, "That's what I thought." She said.

A little while later Nabina and Isaac were part of the dancing crowd and Isaac grabbed her hand before twirling her around making her laugh softly. He smiled as he pulled her closer to him, grabbing her hips while she gently grabbed his face, being careful with the paint on his face.

They stared at each other for a moment before Isaac leaned down, pressing his lips to hers. Their lips moved in sync as Nabina's hand trailed to the back of his neck before Nabina slowly pulled away while furrowing her brows. "What's wrong?" He asked and she shook her head, "There's something on your head. Behind your ear." Nabina said, making Isaac bring his hand up to feel behind his ear.

Nabina grabbed Isaac's hand and pulled him to the bathroom. She grabbed Isaac's chin and turned his head to look at the back of Isaac's ear in the light. "Turn to the mirror. You see that?" Nabina said as Isaac turned to the mirror to see something burned into his skin behind his ear.

"What is that?" Isaac asked as Nabina looked into the mirror over Isaac shoulder, "It looks like a number five." Nabina said. Isaac gently grabbed her face before turning her head to look behind her ear, "You have it too." He said, making Nabina bring her hand up to the back of her ear.

All of the sudden they heard someone groan slightly making them look at each other. "Did you hear that?" Isaac asked and Nabina nodded head slightly, making Isaac pull away from her and walk towards the buckets of ice. There laid Ethan, completely out of it like Isaac and Nabina was last night. They quickly helped the guys sit up before Nabina grabbed his wrist.

The whites of Nabina's eyes went gray and the irises glowed purple. Faded dark purple veins formed under her eyes and up her arms. She whispered something in hindi before Ethan's arm suddenly snapped, making him let out a small roar.

Nabina turned Ethan's head to look behind his ear to see the same backwards five. "It's the same. Exactly the same." Nabina said as she looked over at Isaac, who looked at her.

A few minutes later Isaac and Nabina walked out, while keeping Ethan up while everyone was running out. "Nabina!" Allison called out as she ran over to them before noticing Ethan, "What happened?" She asked and Nabina just shook her head slightly. They glanced around at the people who were running out the loft. The only people who weren't running out were the pack and things that attacked Isaac and Nabina.

Once everyone was out the samurai/ninja like shadow figured all simultaneously turned to face Aiden. "Guys, they're all looking at me." The things took a step closer towards him, a black smoke coming off them. "Why are they looking at me?" Aiden said, fear evident in his voice as they took another step forward which triggered a couple Werewolves into stepping in.

Derek and Scott swiped at them only for the things to easily dodge them like it was nothing. Derek growled and ran forward, snapping one of their necks only for it to go right back to normal. He looked at it confused before it picked him up and tossed him to a wall.

Scott came and stood in front as all of the samurai/ninja like things turned to them. Scott charged forward, swiping at them but they just stepped back making him miss before throwing him into a wall. The creatures took a step forward making Nabina and Isaac step towards them, Isaac growling. One of them turned to him before pulling out a ninjatō from its chest, effortlessly spinning it around like something you'd see in a Japanese samurai movie making Isaac back.

Nabina sucked in a deep breath before walking forward. It swiped the ninjatō at her but she quickly dodged it, moving to the side.

It swiped again but she ducked before grabbing it's arm, whispering something in hindi making the thing go flying back. Another one ran over to her, swiping its ninjatō at her but she just spun to avoid it before grabbing it's other wrist before twisting it's arm and flipping it over her shoulder.

"Nabina!" Allison yelled, making Nabima quickly spin around only to be met with a foot kicking her chest sending her flying back. She landed on the ground with a groan and Isaac quickly ran over to her as the things all turned and advanced to Aiden and one of them grabbed him behind the ear.

Staring into his eyes sending him into some kind of trance before burning what Nabina assumed was the same backwards five she had. Aiden fell to the ground then they turned to Scott.

Scott growled at them, flashing his red eyes as he stood in front of Kira. They advanced towards them but then stopped, turning to the sunlight that started shining through the windows. Everyone looked at them confused before looking at the windows before looking back to see the things slowly disappear into the shadows in a black smoke.

"What the hell were those things?" Scott asked looking over at Derek who looked just as confused. Isaac and Nabina slowly looked over at Allison.

"Your dad's 24-hours are up."
