Chaos Rising pt. 2

Later that night, Scott, Stiles, my dad, Isaac and I went to the anima clinic for Deaton's help on how to get Isaac to remember. And his plan was to put Isaac in ice cold water. ''Obviously, it's not going to be particularly... Comfortable. But if we can slow your heart rate down enough, you'll slip into a trance-like state.''

''Like being hypnotized'' Isaac said.

''Exactly'' Deaton nodded. ''You'll be half transformed. It'll let us access your subconscious mind.'' 

''How slow does his heart rate need to be?'' I asked.

''Very slow'' Deaton replied.

''Okay, well, how slow is very slow?'' Dad questioned.

''Nearly dead'' Deaton replied simply and we all stared at him in silence''

 ''It's safe, though, right?'' Isaac broke the silence. 

''Do you want me to answer honestly?'' 

''No. No, not really'' Isaac said. He stared at the bathtub that was now filled with ice and he took a deep breath in.

''Look, if it feels too risky, you don't have to do this'' dad told him. Isaac took off his shirt and he went in. Scott and dad pushed him under the under. Isaac started to panic, but when he was finally calm, Deatin started talking. 

''Isaac? Can you hear me?'' Deaton asked.

 ''Yes. I can hear you.''

''This is Dr Deaton. I'd like to ask you a few questions. Is that all right?''

''Yes''. 

''I want to ask you about the night you found Erica and Boyd. I want you to remember it for me in as vivid detail as possible, like you're actually there again. ''

''I...I don't wanna do that. I don't...I don't wanna do that. I don't wanna do that'' Isaac stuttered.

''Isaac, it's all right. Just relax. They're just memories. You can't be hurt by a memory. Relax. Relax. Good. Now let's go back to that night. To the place, you found Erica and Boyd. Can you tell me what you see? Is there some kind of building? A house? 

''It's not... it's not a house. It's stone. I think marble.''

''That's perfect. Can you give me any other descriptors?''

 ''It's dusty, so empty. Like an abandoned building?'' Isaac said, and all of a sudden he started to panic again. ''Someone's here. Someone's here.''

''Isaac, relax''.

''No, no, no, they see me, they see me!''

''Just memories. You won't be hurt by your memories. Just relax.'' I sighed in relief when Isaac calmed down again. ''Relax. Good. Now tell us what you see. Tell us everything. 

''I hear him. He's talking about the full moon, about being out of control when the moon rises.''

''Is he talking to Erica?''

 '' I think so, I can't...I can't see either of them.''

 ''Can you hear anything else?''

''They're worried. They're worried what they'll do during the moon. They're worried that they're gonna hurt each other.'' The realisation hit me and I turned to dad.

''If they're locked in together on the full moon, they're gonna tear each other apart'' I told him quietly. 

''Isaac, we need to find them right now. Can you see them?'' Deaton asked again.
