#wearepackverse

Isaac knew how hard the move had been on Camden; being uprooted from the life that was just getting started in Chicago had been traumatic and Isaac wished he could have avoided that somehow. And yet, there they were, and from the looks of it, his son still didn’t hate him from dragging him half-way across the country. He laughed softly when Camden protested that it was still too early, and he shook his head when Elena basically grabbed the child to stop him from running. He welcomed her lips against his own and relished in the way she was smiling, somewhat a rare sight lately. “I love you too,” he replied, resting his forehead against hers for a moment, then looked down at Camden. “Here’s the deal, dad’s gonna go get dressed, so you can finish without breaking your neck. Good?” 

     While it was usually a project to get the boy to wake up on time for school, or to wake up in a timely fashion at all for that matter, today he had been full of energy from the moment sunlight illuminated his face. Holidays were always different, something magical seeming to encase the day and make it easier to wake up. However it appeared that his mother wasn't appreciating this energy levels. Nearly the instant Camden felt his feet lift off the ground he began squirming, legs continuing to move as if trying to run on thin air. There had to be some sort of magic that could make him be able to break free of his mother and continue to decorate. His father had already seen to much too early! Why hadn't his mother used her hand to cover his eyes instead of picking him up?!

Isaac was awakened by the smell of breakfast travelling up to the bedroom, and when he opened his eyes, he realized Elena wasn’t in bed anymore. He frowned, wondering whether he’d overslept, but when he glanced at the clock, he realized it wasn’t really all that late. He stretched his back and took a trip to the bathroom before making his way downstairs. When he walked into the living room, however, he stopped suddenly. “What—” he started asking, a wide smile slowly spreading on his lips as he saw the paper decorations and his son standing right below them. “Camden, you did this?” he asked, feeling his heart swelling in his chest. 

Isaac parked the car outside the house, but didn’t immediately get out. He took a deep breath, looking up at the building with the hint of a frown. It was impossible for him not to compare it to the house he, Elena and Camden had left behind; this was so different, so… it wasn’t their home. 

"They killed that kid. They killed the girl that saved me and I’m gonna kill them too. "

General

↳ Isaac was born in the California town of Beacon Hills to Richard, a swim coach, and Sarah Lahey, a former teacher turned house wife, and is the younger brother of Camden Lahey. Growing up Isaac’s home life was fairly normal until the murder of his mother by an unknown party wreaked havoc upon his life. Following this event, Isaac’s father became distant and prone to fits of rage however he did not begin to abuse his children by locking Isaac in a freezer until the death of Isaac’s eldest brother, Camden, in the line of duty (army). Isaac, feeling powerless to stop the abuse in his home life, accepted the werewolf bite from Derek when it was offered; thus becoming a part of Derek’s pack with Boyd and Erica. However not long after this event, Isaac’s father was killed by the Kanima and he fell under the guardianship of Derek Hale. Later tasked with injecting Jackson with Ketamine to subdue him it was then Isaac began to question Derek’s leadership choices slowly beginning to trust Scott and when Isaac’s pack mates chose to leave Derek, Isaac went to Scott for advice. At first deciding that it would be safer for himself if he left town, he changed his mind and returned to help Scott. Four months later Isaac moved into the McCall home, Melissa now holding custody of him and over the course of a few months he slowly found himself becoming a part of Scott’s pack as he helped him and his friends uncover whom was responsible for a series of murders across town. He also slowly became closer with Allison after the death of her cousin.

Middle Years

↳ Following Elena Gilbert’s resurrection and awareness of the supernatural, Isaac and her began to spend more time together and quickly found that they felt a strong connection toward each other which seemed to defy every misconception they held toward the other. The two seeming to become hyper aware of each other, their previous tensions and fights morphed into an indescribable passion. He also had been helping Elena’s cousin Allison control the darkness that has been plaguing her which had intensified their friendship and caused slight friction between the pack as a whole.

↳ Having a few hiccups over his high school years the kidnapping of his girlfriend and later her being bitten by Scott McCall after Scott faced a foe which influenced his mind resulting in her losing her Wings of Power and becoming a werewolf, tension began to form between Isaac and Scott which would last into the coming years. Following this Elena and Isaac went to college in Chicago where Isaac would gain a lacrosse scholarship and study to become a social worker. During his senior year Elena would become pregnant with Isaac’s son Camden Thomas Lahey whom they named after his dead brother and her dead father. They would stay in Chicago and eventually be joined by Allison after she was turned into a werewolf. Isaac would also gain a job with the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services spurred on by his own childhood experiences.

The strawberry blonde spent her first two classes being unable to concentrate on anything that wasn't that sensation of something being wrong... or was it someone? She couldn't tell, not yet, and that was slowly driving her mad. God, and she was getting used to being the sane one again! But then, as she was getting ready for her third class of the day, things got different. And weirder.

Some people ran into her on the hall and asked about Elena, explaining how she hadn't showed up for any of her classes so far, and then it was as if that had rang a bell inside her head. The strange feeling which had been bothering all morning got a hundred times stronger, and even the buzzing sound came back, and it was so overwhelming she just wanted to scream.

That was it.

     Elena sat very still, feeling as if her whole world was suddenly crashing down around her. part of her was still in shock over the day's events and her body was still weakened from the sulfur she had inhaled during the crash and the thin line of it which seemed to keep her encased in the circle. She didn't want to believe this was really happening. Maybe if she just closed her eyes she would wake up in bed and find that this was all some terrible nightmare. Except she knew it wasn't, the crimson traces of blood in stark contrast to her creme colored dress and the sting of her wounds were proof enough of that.

     Please don't come Isaac, please. She pleaded within her mind as if the thought could somehow reach him.

     After what happened before maybe it could but something told her that he wouldn't listen anyway. Finally she seemed awakened from her daze as the door slid open and Isaac stood before her. Dread encased her soul as she backed up and blinked rapidly and the first tears she allowed herself to shed slid down pale features. The shock was leaving and being replaced by a reality check. This was real, Isaac had come and he hadn't brought anyone with him.
