(AN) Hey there! First off I want to say thanks for stopping by to check out my story. Second, I have to confess I love fluff stories, but there is a part of me that also loves dark stories with very dark characters. I have a semi dark Derek story sort of in the works already, but he is going to be nowhere as dark as this Derek. This story is very heavily, inspired by the movie trilogy of Hostel and I'll have themes from said movies. It's also partly inspired by Keitmeg from Archive of Our Own, seeing her dark Derek made me realize I want to go somewhat that dark with my Derek.

Warnings for the story- Cussing, violence, kidnapping, character deaths, physical and mental tourture, possible rape, bondage, drugging, etc...

Please read the warnings, they will be in every chapter and list what the warnings are for each one. This story is going to be very dark so please proceed with caution.

I do not own the Hostel movies or anything assoicated with it, as well as Teen Wolf or any of its characters.

Stiles POV: Current day-

What the hell did I get myself into? I always prided myself on following my instincts, to always approach danger with caution. How could I willingly drag myself into this? Why did I let my desire to solve this mystery consume me and in turn my friends.

I've been alone for so long now, how many days have passed? How many nights have I spent trying to hold myself together? I thought when he left I would feel safer, stronger...but I've just been lying to myself. The truth is I've never been more terrified than since he left.

I want him to come back, even if it's just to punish me. At least then I would know he's here and not taking his anger out on my friends. I screwed up big, hell we all did in trusting the wrong person. I should've known better, I knew something bad was going to happen. Having a sheriff as a father, I forgot his most valuable lesson-always trust your gut. I failed him. I failed everyone. I only hope if we ever make it out of here alive, they'll all forgive me.

Stiles POV: 1 month earlier-

The gravel crunches underneath my feet as I walk around and take the view in. The sunlight illuminates the light blue and white colors gleaming off from the lake as it flows slow with no signs of pollution. The town itself appears quite impressive, but small, and I can't help but to think what it would be like to live here in Beacon Hills. I have to stop myself from snorting out loud at that thought. This would be a wonderful town to live in if I didn't know the dark history about it.

Although I feel pumped up about this trip I wonder if we should've gone to Mexico as we had originally planned. I look over at my soon to me ex best friend and I groan when I see a big smile stretched across his face. He's not even pretending to look sorry, the asshole...

"How did I let you talk me into this Scott?" I groan while shaking my head.

"Stiles, what kind of friend would I be if I didn't take you with us? We're getting ready to graduate this year and most of us are going to be going to different colleges. This might be the only time for awhile we can all hang out together without the pressure of homework and worrying about our future. And besides it's just a week, then we'll head right back to Arizona," Scott says triumphantly.

I sigh in defeat. Scott's unfortunately right, we all need this break and even though we're in a little town that has a lot of missing people in it, we still might have a fun time. I have to say though this town fits the description Kyra gave us perfectly. All and all it's a quaint town, but it defiantly has that mysterious edge to it that makes me wonder what all has happened here and what else is yet to come? We're only staying for week, but I feel drawn to this place. Maybe I can convince the others to stay little longer than we had planned.

I flinch a little as my jeep's doors are opened and quickly are slammed shut. Allison, Issac, Kyra, and Lydia gather around me and Scott and they are all beaming with excitement. They take the sights in just as I did, but I know it's the mystery of this place has them more excited than the view. Kira herself looks smug, and after all she is the one who suggested this place over Mexico.

I should actually explain a bit, our group has always been fascinated with mysterious places and disappearances. We have this thing where we try to uncover the unknown and we've actually helped the police more than once solve a few crimes. We found out who in our town killed this jock named Jackson. We also found out who had been stealing money from our church and that they were dealing firearms. Although we've been told countless times by many people, especially by my dad, how dangerous it is for us to help we like to bring justice and to help people. And I know even when we are away at college we'll still keep doing so. That's one of the reasons why I'm going to try to become a cop.

And when Kira told us about this town where more than a hundred people have disappeared and most have been found murdered over the past five years, it was impossible to say no. This is the first time we've been outside Arizona to help solve a crime and in a way it's a goodbye case for us before we leave for college. I know a week is not long enough, but hopefully we'll be able to find leads and tell the police of our findings before we have to go.

Kira pulls out her phone and she grimaces. "So, according to the articles it looks like all the victims have been taken at night time. They end up missing for a week before their bodies are discovered in the woods. The police have no leads and it appears like more than one person is suspected of committing these crimes. There is a town curfew and if you're caught out after ten o'clock the police will take you in for questioning."

"That's going to be a problem," Issac states looking at Kira. "We are going to have to be out in the woods at night. If we have any hope of catching whoever is killing these people we have to go at night time."

"I know Issac, and we will but we have to keep in mind the police will be looking out for people breaking the curfew. And just because we don't live here doesn't mean they will allow us to do our job."

"We'll just have to be careful," I butt in. "And as far as anyone knows we have family here and we're just here for the week to visit them. No one can know we're looking into this."

"I agree," Lydia adds. "And when we're in the woods no one is splitting up. Remember the last time we did? Stiles almost died. If we hadn't made it in time..."

"Relax Lydia, I had things handled," I said trying to calm her.

"Stiles you were screaming like a banshee and you were trying to defend yourself with a fork against the bad guy," Lydia deadpanned.

"Hey! That fork was the only sharp thing around! And unlike you and Allison I don't know martial arts. And that guy was very intimated by me jabbing that fork at him."

"I'm sure he was," Lydia shaked her head with her voice full of disbelief.

Before I could argue my side any further Allison butted in. "Like Lydia's saying we all stay together and if anything happens we will alert the police. Everyone in agreement?" We all chortled yes and Allison smiled. "So how about we explore this town's restaurant before we investigate further?"

...

6 hours later-

I wistfully rub my stomach in regret, I shouldn't have had so much pizza. Issac groans in pain and I look to see he's also regretting that eighth slice of pizza as well. Besides the disappearances and murders this town has, its pizza is going well for them. I try to keep up marching along with the others and trying to keep a lookout as we start our way into the woods.

After dinner we had explored the town as much as we could, we saw a vet clinic, a high school, a pub, and many other establishments that didn't produce any information. We also stopped outside the police station and saw a wall filled up of missing person's posters. It tore me up to see kid's faces among the missing. I really hope we discover something tonight, anything that can help us figure out who's behind this. We met many of the townsfolk and most have a missing loved one and you can tell by their faces they know what fate will meet the one they love. I thought things were bad back home but Beacon Hills has more than its fair share of troubles.

We head farther up a hiking trail and we stop. Kira has a map out and she looks confused. "I don't know which way we should go. This trail ends soon, but these woods starch out very far and..."

"Hey," Allison says while gently grabbing the map away from Kira. "Don't worry, we have all night and we can cover a lot of ground." Allison briefly looks at the map before she folds it and tucks it in her pants. We'll just continue straight for now and see if we spot anything." Kira gave Allison a grateful smile and nodded.

"Sounds good."

We all started our journey again, but we didn't make it too far until I saw it. I gasped in surprise as I saw a figure dash ahead on the left. The figure was gone so quickly I thought I had imagined it, but my gut told me that what I saw was real. "Guys!" I exclaimed. "Did you see that? I swear that was a person!"

The gang turned around looking confused and Scott was the first to speak. "What are you talking about Stiles?"

"Yeah I didn't see anything," Issac remarked.

I was about to explain myself again when I heard rustling from the direction the person had gone. "There! You hear that? There was defiantly someone." And before anyone could stop me, I started running off to the direction of the noise.

"Stiles! Come back," Lydia yelled after me. I could hear the others joining Lydia as they called for me to come back but I can't. What if I'm onto something? What if I've found the one behind all of this? I keep on running with my eyes constantly zooming all over for a sign of the person but I can't see anything. I eventually stop running and despite my ragged breathing I try to be quiet and listen for footsteps. My heart pounds like a jackrabbit and I sigh in disappointment.

Damn, how did I lose them? Maybe my mind made it all up. Maybe I just wanted to see something so bad my mind made me think I had...But what had made the noise? Whatever it was I was stupid to run off without the others. Man, Lydia is going to kill me.

"Stiles!" I hear Lydia shout faintly in the distance. From where I am, I see their flashlights beaming and I walk forward to rejoin them, but then I hear it, a branch snap from right behind me. I turn around so fast and then I see her. As she walks closer to where I'm frozen in shock, I'm stuck by how beautiful she is. Her skin is glowing from the moonlight and her chocolate colored eyes seem to pierce mine with an intensity that floors me. She stops right before me and swoops her long highlighted brown hair behind her shoulders.

"Hello," she says.

"H...Hi," I stammer back.

"And who might you be handsome?" The stranger asks while eying me up and down. She seems pleased for some reason and she smirks slightly before her features change and suddenly she looks bored.

"My name is-"

"Stiles where the hell are you?!" I hear Lydia call out. She sounds scared now.

"Stiles?" The mystery girl questions. I ignore her confusion in favor of cupping my hands around my mouth to try to alert the others where I am. "Lydia! Scott! Guys, I'm over here!"

It doesn't take long before Allison, Issac, and Kira finds me. Very soon after Scott also arrives and so does Lydia, who looks absolutely furious, her face as almost as red as her hair.

"Stiles, what were you thinking! You..." Lydia stops her rant when she, like everyone else finally takes in the fact I was not alone. "Excuse me, but who the hell are you? Lydia asks the stranger while crossing her arms. The girl I had very briefly met once again looked pleased and she more than happily introduced herself.

"My name is Sara. I have a house not too far from away from here. As I was about to tell your handsome friend here, it's hard to sleep when you keep hearing screaming and shouting at two o'clock in the morning."

Lydia frowns in suspicion and Scott blushes and starts to apologize on behalf of all of us. "We didn't know anyone lived out here, we were just checking out the rumors and being stupid. We just arrived here, but I swear we'll leave right away and won't disturb you anymore."

Sara seems to purr. "Oh sweetie, it's okay. But can I give you all a word of advice? You guys shouldn't be out here this late at night. So many people disappear out here, I would hate for your first night here to end tragically. You all should head back to your hotel or wherever you're staying at."

"We're staying at the inn in town." I inform her.

Sara nods like that was the answer she was expecting. "You know what, why don't you guys hang out with me tomorrow? I can give you a full tour of the town. Maybe we can investigate this mystery together?"

"Thanks, but we already have seen the town," Lydia says, pretending to sound disappointed. Why is Lydia acting like this?

"Sure!" Scott says ignoring what Lydia had just said. "We could use an extra person to help us figure this out."

Sara appeared victorious and said, "I can't wait. You guys should probably go back and get some rest. It was nice to meet you all." With those words Sara gave a wave goodbye and walked off and was gone as quickly as she appeared. What a mysterious girl...I look at the others and see they look the same as I feel.

"I guess we should head back," I said.

"Yeah let's go," Scott agrees.

"There is something off about that girl," Lydia says still looking in the direction Sara had walked off in.

"She seemed pretty cool," Scott disagrees with her.

"Yeah she seemed nice," I chime in sticking up for Scott.

"Boys," Lydia sighs in disgust and joins Allison and Kira. Scott and I shake our heads wondering what made her upset. We all gathered our stuff while Kira got the map back from Allison and they tried to figure out the way back to town. They soon found the right path and we made our way back to the town in silence.

When we finally approached the exit from the woods, I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding in. As everyone stepped into town I felt a chill run through my body. I feel as though I'm being watched. I quickly look back expecting to see something or someone, but there is nothing there, just darkness and trees. It's been a long night, I can't allow my imagination to get ahold of me like that.

Feeling resolve I turned back around and kept walking forward.

(AN-) I want to apologize for this slow start and how it drags on. I promise it'll get more action packed within the next chapter or two. I have huge plans for the gang and especially for Stiles as they get ready for their worst nightmare. Derek will appear soon so don't worry. Like I said, this is a Hostel inspired story so there will be torture ahead please keep that in mind. Thank you guys so much for reading this and I hope you like where I take this story.

Chapter 2 inside look- Stiles and the gang continue their investigation but they soon realize they have fallen too deep and may not ever be able to return home.
