24} so i stayed in the darkness with you...

[When the feed clicks on, Allison is visibly upset. She's also not in her cabin, as evidenced by her surroundings. Her eyes and nose are red: she's been crying, and recently, but she's deadly calm as she speaks.

She has to be, or else she's going to hurt someone. The feed isn't totally steady, because her hand is shaking, and in a rare occurrence, Duchess is nowhere to be seen.]

Isaac's in a coma.

[And this is the part of her new condition she wasn't prepared for, this wild fury and soul-deep grief all mixed up and so intense her free hand is just out of sight, balled into a fist, claws digging into her own palm so the pain will keep her from shifting. She's been like this since she found him over an hour ago, since she picked him up off the floor of his room and put him into bed...

Since the tears and pleading for him to wake up turned to animal snarls she couldn't control, and she glimpsed her transformed face in the mirror for the first time.

She's human now as her eyes well up again, but there's something clearly animal in the way she bares her teeth as she speaks.]

Anyone that comes near his cabin without my permission is getting their throat torn out.

[She can feel the beast rising, she doesn't dare risk more...abruptly, the feed goes dead to all but those on her private filters.]

[Extended Pack Filter]

That goes for you guys, too...just knock first, okay? I'm in Isaac's cabin, and I just...

[She trails off, her eyes flashing gold. Her jaw tenses, and fangs are visible just past her lips, her features shifting as she fights the rising change.]

I need some time to...calm down.

[He nods slightly, knowing he'd be pretty upset and freaked out if Lydia was in a coma, too, even if it was harmless. It would still upset him.]

Probably you feel it more intensely now. Senses are heightened and everything cause of the werewolf stuff. [He chews his lower lip for a second.]

You need anything? I mean, I can't really do anything to change the coma part, but I could bring you hot chocolate or...I don't know. When Dean was in a coma, I read him Harry Potter.

Not...right away, but I'll let you know? I'm more scared of losing control than anything else right now.

I just...need a day or two. Get myself back on an even keel. It's...it's different with the werewolf stuff, it's like having another person inside my head. Different needs, different wants, things hurt more or they don't matter like they did. It's...not like what Jerry did to me, I'm aware of it. Most of the time it's great, but now...right now it sucks.

[Stiles nods slightly. He's not a wolf, but he has all of wolf Stiles' memory from the other Barge. He knows it's different.]

All right, no problem. Just let me know what I can do when you're ready for company or whatever. [He smiles a bit.]
