Sneaking out of her room in a sports bra, sweat pants, and sneakers Rachel tip toed to her brother's door pressing her ear against she could here the music on the other side but really listening she heard his heart beat sighing in relief she continued past his room and down the stairs as she opened the door she nearly jumped at the sight of Isaac. "Are you trying to scare me half to death? Cause if you are mission accomplished," she yelled grabbing her chest as he laughed.

"Where are you going?" he sighed as she rolled her eyes. "Rachel," he barked as she jumped.

"I was just going to go see Stiles."

"You're lying." She scrunched her nose angrily. "You look like you're going on a run?"

"Yes, Mr. I-have-to-watch-my-sister-at-all-costs," she barked as he closed the door behind him. "I don't get it, ever since Jackson went from controlled freak monster thing to one of us, you all of sudden became so over protective of me, I hardly went on any runs all summer because of you."

"Rachel...just...go to bed, first day tomorrow and all that," he sighed locking the door and went to his room. She stood in the hall for a minute knowing her brother was acting more odd than usual. Thinking it had something to do with Erika and Boyd she rolled her eyes and returned to her room. She laid on her bed annoyed and grabbed her phone looking at the picture on her bed side table of Stiles and her. She hit the call button and laid her head on the pillow.

"Hello?" Stiles asked as she smiled.

"Hey, what are you doing?" she smiled staring at the ceiling.

"Um...right now?" he asked as she rolled her eyes, she felt like she had been doing that all summer. "Nothing why?"

"Can I come over?"

"Yeah of course, let me just tell my dad," he said more excited then when he first got on the phone.

"Ok, I'll see you in a few," she smiled before hanging up. She opened the window and stepped onto the roof slowly walking toward her brother's window she looked in seeing him lay on his bed with his ear buds in reading a book she smiled and jumped down and began running to Stiles'. Stiles' house wasn't far and Rachel knew she would at least get one last run in before school. Her phone began to ring and she stopped immediately answering not even tired from running a full block.

"Hey, Scott wants to get a tattoo, and is on his way, I doubt you want to go," Stiles sighed as she frowned. Rachel really had no interest in going to watch Scott sit in a tattoo parlor and get a tattoo but she sighed.

"I..." she sighed.

"I thought so," he laughed. "How about this, you get here my dad will let you in and then we can hang out when we get back," he suggested as she sighed but knew it was a better plan then to sit and wait in a disgusting tattoo parlor.

"Yeah, sure."

"Rachel, If your not ok with this..."

"Stiles go, I'll meet you at your house," she laughed. "Good bye," she added before hanging up on him. She began jogging knowing getting there later would give her a better chance of waiting less. As she moved down the street a strange feeling came over her, like something was watching her she stopped and looked into the woods. Her bronze eyes shifted into a sharp lighting blue and she saw someone staring back at her. "Isaac, leave me alone," she snapped, but the person didn't move, "Isaac I can see you." Still got no response. When the black figure looked at her she saw red where the eyes would be. "Der-Derek?" she asked a hint of nervousness in her voice. She closed her eyes and quickly opened them the person was gone and she soon ran into a full sprint. She knew it wasn't Derek or Peter because they knew her too little to play pranks on her and where far more mature than that. "What is going on?" she asked now out of breath. As she turned the corner she saw the porch light on Stiles' house lit. Before she could get any further she felt a sharp pain in her right shoulder blade the force of the strike sent her flying to the ground, she rolled onto her back and she looked up a lone alpha staring back at her.

Rachel's vision blurred and it was too dark to see who was attacking her. She stood up and swung but the alpha was too fast and strong for her punching her in the stomach she fell back down. She looked up a few drops of blood rested on her lip and fear was now in her eyes as she saw the man raise his claw. Closing her eyes she waited in defeat. Isaac had come in the picture to save her again. She stood up weakly watching her brother take on the other wolf. She wanted to help but her shoulder blade now hurt even more. "Get out of here!" Isaac shouted as his side was ripped open. She flinched at the scream that came from her brother before she ran down the street. She ran behind Stiles' house and entered through the back door and locked all entrance ways praying nothing would come find her. As her shoulder healed her breathing slowed down but her brother's scream kept replaying in her head. She sat in the dark at the bar in the kitchen covering her eyes trying to hold back the tears and pain.

"Rachel?" Mr. Stilinski asked turning on a light as gasped and quickly stood up. "Are you ok?" he questioned her as she looked at him the tears ready to fall, she ran over and hugged the older man wanting to cry. "What's wrong? What happened?" He looked at her back to see her sports bra ripped and bloody but her skin normal. She froze as he examined her. "What happened?" he repeated.

"I...I..." her eyes rolled back and she collapsed in his arms. Quickly taking her body upstairs he began to examine her, eventually discovering stress one the only thing that caused her to pass out he rested her on Stiles' bed and placed a damp cloth on her forehead. The rest of the night until Stiles came home he continued to check on her but she wasn't going anywhere.

As morning dawned Rachel gasped sitting up nearly in a cold sweat. "Good morning," Stiles laughed walking into room as she forced a smile rubbing her head. "My dad told me you weren't feeling good last night?" he asked sitting next to her as she looked blankly at the door. "Rachel?" he nudged her and she shook her head and looked at him coming back to reality. "You ok?"

"Yeah," she smiled leaning in quickly kissing him. As predicted by her Stiles stopped questioning and continued to get ready for their first day back. "Hey, do you have like...the clothes I left here last week," she smiled as he laughed and walked into the closet holding a a hanger with a black dress with white stripe through the waist. "It'll do," she smiled grabbing the dress she walked into the bathroom and changed, she washed her face and stared back at herself wondering if Isaac was ok, how Stiles would react, and lastly if she should tell Scott.

She walked to Stiles jeep and climbed in, "Are we going to your house first?" She looked at him oddly and shrugged.

"Why?" she questioned hoping he hadn't talked to his dad.

"Forgetting something important for the first day?" he laughed pointing to his bag in the back as she face palmed herself.

"Quickly," she sighed not wanting to be late for the first day and really not wanting to see her home.

"Rachel, are you really ok?" Stiles asked a little nervous as they pulled up to her house.

"Stiles, I'm fine," she smirked getting out of the car she quickly walked into the house. "Isaac?" she rushed into her brother's room and looked around his iPod and book still rested on his bed a nervous feeling came over her as she quickly walked to her room. She grabbed her bag and slowly made her way back to Stiles' jeep. She looked back at her house and got in the jeep. As Stiles pulled out of the driveway Rachel saw someone standing behind her house. "Stop!" she shouted as Stiles listened and she looked out the window but no one was there.

"Rachel, you are really freaking me out, what's wrong!?" Stiles shouted as she looked at him shaking her head. She didn't want Stiles to tell Scott until she knew what the facts truly are.

"I saw nothing, it's nothing," she sighed closing her eyes. Her back still burned from where the alpha struck her and she rested her head on the head rest thinking who could her attacker be, she knew Peter and Derek well enough that they wouldn't turn against her so the explanation could not hold water. When they got to school she walked around the jeep and kissed Stiles.

"What was that for?"

To make you stop asking questions. She thought before smiling. "A good luck charm on our first day," she laughed rubbing her back trying not to show any pain in her face. He took her hand and they walked into the school, it felt nice to be back she was excited for the new year to start. "I got to go check the files real quick, save me a seat?" He nodded and she quickly walked to the front office, a new year meant a new everything including the principle. She sat down at her desk in the empty office and turned her lap top on hoping she had enough time to make it to class.

"What is this?" she heard the new principle yell, she looked through the open door to see Gerard's silver sword a cold feeling ran down her spine next to the burning feeling in her back. She quickly looked at all her files making sure they were in the right place before running out the freaking out as the first bell went off. She made it to her locker and quickly opened it, grabbing her books she ran down the hall.

"I'm going to make it," she smiled turning the corner onto the English hall just as the warning bell rang out indicating she had a minute to get to class. Her phone buzzed and she looked down seeing it was a large text from an unknown number. Just as she looked up someone ran into her. Rachel fell to the floor and her books slid in all different directions.

"Crap, now I'm late," the guy snapped grabbing Rachel's books. "Are you ok?" he asked looking at her just as his head cocked back. "Rachel? Hey how are you?"

"Cody, I don't have time to chat, I have to get to class," she sighed as he stood up. "I'm good, sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going," she shook her head as he nodded and handed her her books.

"Yeah, I got to go, late for class on the first day," he sighed as she nodded and ran to the door just as the late bell rang she walked in everyone staring at her.

"Hi," she said nervously as the woman stared at her. As Rachel moved to the back of the room she sat in the only open seat. After taking attendance and Rachel's first late of the season she rested her head on her desk feeling a little light headed.

"Have you talked to Rachel?" Rachel could hear Stiles whisper to Scott. She looked up biting her lip. She looked back at her book just as Scott looked at her.

"No, why?"

"She's acting really weird, I think she's hiding something," he sighed as Scott laughed.

"She's always hiding something," he replied as she looked up squinting her eyes. A thought of Isaac appeared in her head and she closed her eyes trying to push the thought from her mind hoping he was ok.

"Mr. McCall," their teacher called as Scott looked up. She called him out to the hallway and Rachel looked toward the front of the room feeling completely alone surrounded by people she never thought of talking to.
