He keeps dreaming of the arena. It's been days since he was stuck there, but every time he closes his eyes he can feel himself sinking back there to where the birds screamed in familiar voices and to where the wolf had absolute control over him. There were other people there and if it hadn't been for Adam, who knows how many of them Isaac might've killed? He doesn't like to think about it, but the nightmares make it hard to forget.

It's back to the Nexus Hotel, then, for him. He doesn't want to deal with this in Beacon Hills because they've got their own issues to worry about and that's not for Isaac to get in the middle of.

Still, he kind of wishes that this were easier to cope with, because it really sucks feeling like this fear and this lack of control might consume him completely. He's taken to wandering the grounds, trying to make his feet and mind weary so that he can't focus on what happened in that arena.

Who knows? Maybe today it'll work.
