So a good chunk of people have viewed the story, I'm not sure if you guys liked it, but I'm hoping if I post another chapter that you guys will review and give me some feedback. To those of you who have read it, thank you I hope you loved it as much as I did, and to new readers enjoy the journey. Now for everyone, I like to end ALL of my chapters with cliffhangers so don't hate me, the suspense will kill you haha. But enough of this pointless part that I'm guessing no one reads, if fact if you do, review and let me know haha, on to the story!
The Warehouse
Stiles keeps having the last couple of minutes run on a loop in his head. The group coming to save Scott and Kira, Scott being the berzerker, the group unknowingly attacking him, Peter betraying them, Peter throwing Scoot through a wall; and his unconscious girlfriend being thrown over her evil father's shoulder and disappearing into the night.
Stiles' train of thought is interrupted when he remembers his best friend is hurt, possibly dead. He gets up from the floor where Peter threw him and runs over to Scott. His side hurts from where Peter's arm came in contact with him but it doesn't compare with the pain of the night's events.
When Stiles reaches the rest of the group Kira and Liam are already surrounding Scott, checking for any signs of life. As Stiles gets closer his steps get shorter. His best friend could be dead, how is he supposed to walk up to him when it could be the last time he ever looks at him. Swallowing his fear he takes the last steps and kneels down with his friends.
Kira is looking into her hands, which are covered in blood, Scott's blood. All she can do is weep and the sight in front of her. Liam on the other hand is taking a different approach, he keeps pumping his hands on Scott's chest, attempting to restart his heart. Stiles can only assess the situation, there was no way his friend was dead, it just couldn't be.
Millions of different explanations ran through Stiles head of what could be happening right now. His brain finds one and he sticks to it, he wasn't dead. No, well yes he was on the brink of death, his heartbeat would be very low, even low for people with super hearing to hear; but he wasn't dead, he was working on healing himself.
"Guys, he ins't dead." Stiles declares to his friends.
"Stiles, I'm sorry, but I don't hear a heartbeat man." Liam says with a heavy heart
"NO, he is alive-"
"Stiles, there is no heartbeat, he is dead, please stop with whatever you are going to say, I can't handle it." Kira says. Stiles looks at her and her cheeks are puffy, eye's red, nose running, and eye's dull. She is shaking in shock and pain. Stiles quickly takes his jacket off and puts it over her shoulders.
He places his hands on her shoulders and makes her stare straight into his eyes.
"Kira, he is my best friend, I've known him all my life, I wouldn't be saying false things to save myself the pain. If Scott was dead, I'd know. And I've thought of everything before I said this, I would never plant false hope in your mind." He explains gently and continues, "He is healing himself, the battle was brutal. First he was tortured and transformed into a berzerker, then he fought you guys," He gestures to Liam, "then he had to break free from the berzerker power, and after all of that face Peter, one of the most powerful people I've ever seen fight Scott. So Scott, isn't dead just healing slowly."
"What do we do?" Kira asks, the spark in her eye lighting a bit. Its small since Scott still isn't moving or awake, but its enough.
"I say there is nothing that we can do, we just have to wait, lets go to a hotel and have him lay down until he wakes up. Liam help me get him in the truck." The two are able to drag the teenage boy to where they parked.
"Where is our other van?" Kira says looking around at the empty lot. As she continues to gaze at her surroundings she notices someone is missing. "and where is Malia?" Kira asks. She had seen Malia get hit but when Scott got hit she quickly ran to her boyfriend's side. I choice she now feels guilty about.
Stiles had been so worried about Scott that he had pushed the thought of his girlfriend out of his head, but now that Kira brought it up he can't stop the haunting memory from replaying. Peter had just revealed how he came to take Scott's power and claim the alpha spot when Malia launched in to protect him. She was sent flying and knocked out. The sight of Malia getting hurled through the air makes Stiles whimper as he can only imagine the pain she is in now.
"Peter took her." Liam says. The words bring Stiles back to reality.
"What?" Kira says her throat closing.
"Yupp, Peter took his daughter." Stiles says, the words catching in his throat. "She was unconscious after Peter hit her and after he hit Scott he took her. I don't know why though."
They all load Scott into the back and Kira goes with him. She has him rest his head on her lap giving him a nice cushion. She stokes his hair slowly and peacefully waiting in agony for his eyes to open.
Liam and Stiles sit in the front throwing ideas at each other as to why Peter would want Malia.
"Well she is his daughter." Liam tries.
"Yeah, but Scott is stronger, if he had taken him, he would have gotten more power."
"Well he also thinks that Scott is dead and that soon he will be inheriting his alpha position."
"So he is just waiting for that power to kick in and then he is going to what?"
"I don't know man sorry?" At these words Stiles can't think right. He runs his hands through his hair and over his eyes.
"There is a reason, there is a reason, there is a reason..." Stiles continues to repeat to himself.
"Hey man, do you want me to drive?"
"God no." Stiles says quickly. Liam is a little taken aback from these words.
"Its nothing against you," Stiles quickly says seeing Liam's face, "its just," Stiles sighs "if I don't focus I'll just be thinking of what Peter will be doing to Malia and I don't know if I can handle that right now."
"Okay, let me know, if you need to sleep or anything though."
"I think there is a motel near here, I remember seeing one on the way here." Liam nods and lets the drive continue in silence
Peter's Van
Peter is driving as fast as he can to his secret safe house. He doesn't care what he is about to do, he knows that it is the best thing for himself. And once he has both his daughter's and Scott's power he will be unstoppable.
He pulls up to the house around an hour or so after leaving the warehouse and quickly takes Malia into the basement where he can lock her up. He knows he gave her a nice hard hit but it won't be enough to keep her asleep for a lot longer. He needs Malia to lose control. Only then can he take her power.
He brings her to the basement and chains her thoroughly. He knows that she will probably break some of the restraints so he makes sure to double and triple lock her into place. He leaves her slumped against the wall and heads back up stairs to get his equipment.
Malia wakes up to the smell of an unfamiliar place. She continues to sniff for a familiar scent and finally catches one, her father. She goes to stand up when she notices the large amount of chains on her. She tries to pull them off and realizes she cannot channel any of her strength. That doesn't stop her though, she continues to pull until she hears a voice.
"Don't strain yourself, I need you to be fully rested."
"Peter?" She tries to look around her but the area is too dark for her human eyes to see anything more than a couple of feet ahead of her.
"Yes, I need you to sleep, you need to rest up for tomorrow."
A thousand questions start to pile up in her head. 'where was she, what was happening tomorrow, how'd she get here, is everyone else okay, was Stiles okay?'
"Peter, get me out of these." A shiver runs up her spine as Peter laughs a cold and wicked laugh.
"I must have really hit your head hard." He continues to laugh.
"What are you-NO!" The night flashes back to her and she can remember his betrayal.
"You sick bastard come here so I can kill you!" Peter turns on the light temporarily blinding her.
"I see you figured things out."
"What are you doing."
"With Scott dead, and me taking in his powers I needed to take more steps to assure I'd be the most powerful werewolf alive. And I can do that through my bloodline. You were so easy to manipulate. Haha dear god, so gullible to believe that I cared, that anyone did. So I need to kill you, and then I can be the most powerful alpha."
"You could have killed me before, why wait?"
"Well, I need you to lose control, then I can kill you."
"I will never."
"Well, think of it like this: I ditched the van, took a new one, and made sure you were cleaned of any scent. The guys don't have any way to track you so I have as much time as I need to to break you. And just think, I can kill you at any time."
"Then KILL ME! I don't care."
"Well that is where you are stuck. You see, if you die right now, yes I won't get as much power as I could, but just from killing in the bloodline will help me. So if you die now you lose to me, you can try to fight me off."
Malia gives him an unsure stare.
"See if you can withstand my torture, which I'm sure someone as...delicate as you can, then you postpone when I get my strength. I'll let you think of that for a bit."
Peter leaves the room and turns off the lights. The dark was never something Malia liked. As a little kid it would torment her, and the years of isolation didn't help to stop that fear, and now that fear was heightened. She was scared.
The Motel
Stiles sits at the desk with a bunch of paper lined up attempting to make connections and figure out where Peter was and just how much danger she was in. Kira sat on the bed with Scott's head on her was dabbing a damp towel across his forehead every couple of minuets to try to help his healing process. Liam was out getting them all Stiles couldn't focus on anything else that was happening.
He sat with 3 different colored pens scribbling down anything that came to his mind. He wrote for what felt like hours until Liam came into the room. Liam brought the pizza slice a left it on the plate next to Stiles. Liam knew that both Kira and Stiles were going to have a long night and would probably hate the idea of eating until the person they loved was back safely in their arms.
After 20 minutes of Liam nagging Kira removed her legs form under Scott and ate and showered. After her shower she came into the main room and lay down under the covers next to her boyfriend. It wasn't till then that the day hit her full force. She was exhausted. Almost as soon as she hit the bed she fell asleep.
Liam came up to Stiles at 11 o'clock.
"Stiles, its 11, we got here at 8, go to bed."
"I cant sleep with all of this happening." Liam could sympathize with him, Stiles wanted Scott back, not only because he was his friend, but also because he hated to see people in danger, a trait he probably got from his father. So when they got to the warehouse Liam knew Scott wasn't a trade for Malia. He needed them both.
"Alright, well at least eat something, its unhealthy, and you really need it." Without looking up Stiles grabbed the cold slice. The slice was quickly gone and Liam grabbed two more from the box placing it on the plate in front of his friend. I'm going to get some sleep, promise me you won't stay up all night."
"I'll try." As Liam was walking to the bed Stiles spoke up again, this time looking away from the desk, "Thanks Liam, today, wasn't an easy day, but you really helped."
"Of course man." Liam said before his head hit the pillow. Liam like Kira got hit with the gravity of the day and was soon asleep.
Stiles was glued to his desk. After hours of thinking the thought came to his mind.
"Yes, I got it." The victory was short lived when Stiles realized what Peter was going to do to his girlfriend. "No, Malia."
Peter's
Malia was woken up harshly by her 'father'. He came down the steps and threw a large bucket of cold water on her. She jumped from the unexpected water and quickly stood up.
She cursed at herself for falling asleep, she had willed herself to stay awake forcing herself to not regain any strength or heal, but it hadn't worked. She knew she was going to have Peter torture her. She knew her pack, they never left anyone behind, they'd come for her. And she knew she wouldn't let them down. There was no way she was going to let the man who betray the group win her power, especially if he had gotten Scott's.
The water slowly dripped down her face and slid down her body. She stared straight ahead of her and the lights were turned on. That was when her eyes shook in fear.
Peter was holding a wires. But the wire was connected to a battery, a car battery. It quickly became apparent why Peter threw water at her. She may be able to withstand electrocution but this was going to be worse.
"Glad you were able to get some sleep." Malia threw daggers in his direction.
"Oh Malia, don't look at me like that. One day you may even thank me for this."
"Thank you? Why would I ever thank someone like you."
"I'm teaching you a lesson Malia, power is the most important thing, and when you see the opportunity, take it."
"I feel for you Peter, I thought my life was fucked up but obviously yours was worse. Unless there is another reason as to why you're FREAKING INSANE! AHHHHH!"
Malia's harsh words were cut short as Peter hit her with the wire's probes.
Electrocution was a pain so unimaginable. Malia screamed out with every volt that shot through her.
"You're sick!" She spit out to Peter.
"I'm doing what is justifiable to succeed." Peter said as he hit her with another huge shock of energy.
"AHHHHHHHH!" She fell to the floor. She remembered being hit when she was at the echo house, but god this was much worse.
"No, no, STOP!" Malia yelled, but this time it wasn't at Peter but herself. The moon was still full, and it would be for the next 2 days. That gave Peter plenty of time to destroy her. Malia continued to yell in an attempt to get her claws to recede back into her fingers and he eyes to shift back into their brown orbs.
Peter continued to test her ability to restrain herself.
"I have to admit something darling,you are stronger than I thought, so thank you." He said grabbing her chin and sending her a wink. "But you won't last long." He threw her chin down and left the room.
Malia stayed curled in a ball huddled in the corner, the waves of electricity shooting throughout her body. She tried to fight off sleep and not let herself heal again, but she eventually seceded, letting the darkness take her.
Motel
Stiles paced across the room, the noise he was making was enough to wake both Liam and Kira.
"What time is it, Stiles why are you still up?" Liam wondered. He glanced at the clock and saw that it read 1 in the morning.
"This isn't good, this really is not good!"
"Stiles what's wrong!?" Kira asked seriously worried about her friend.
"Peter! Do you know what he will do to her!" He yelled two walked over to the desk and saw his elaborate mapping of what could happen.
"He is going to try and take her power! We have been teaching her control, Peter is going to try and take her control away and then take her power to make himself more powerful."
"That sick twisted bastard!" Kira fumed.
"Stiles, she won't let him." Liam said trying to calm Stiles down.
"I know that, but Peter will torture into it, she doesn't know how to withstand that. And after all the torture he will kill her."
"Then we have to find her first, Stiles we will find her first." All the people turned their heads to look at the voice. It had been Scott's.
They all ran up hugging him tightly. Kira was able to squeeze a kiss on his lips.
"Stiles, we will find her. The whole pack will come here, and we will track her down."
"Scott we need to do this fast, especially now that you're awake."
Scott gave Stiles a confused look.
"Now that you're alive Peter will soon realize it and that he won't get your alpha power, that will push him two scenarios; he will either torture Malia more in a shorter period of time in worry that he is running out of time, or..." The next words were hard for him to think, let alone say.
"Or what Stiles?" Scott asked
"Or Peter will make Malia evil, and turn her onto his side. He will break her, she will be gone. He will manipulate her and twist her reality until she works with him. She really doesn't have much time."
"Then we have to do this fast." Scott said, a new form of power surging through him. "Protect the pack."
Hope you enjoyed. Please REVIEW!
