Stiles groaned as his eyes adjusted to the bright lights. His blurry vision began to focus on his surroundings. It looked like he was in a basement, not a scary one, but one that was definitely in someone's house. Stiles went to move his hands, but found he could not move them. He looked down to see both hands tied to the arms of the chair he was sitting in. He pulled on the ropes, but the knots were tight.

"What is this?" Stiles continued to pull on the ropes even though he knew it would do no good.

"Sorry about this, but you just seem to be the one that gets caught in the middle of all the chaos."

Stiles looked around to figure out where the female voice was coming from. "Who are you?"

The woman stepped in front of Stiles and he recognized her as the one that knocked him out.

"What do want? My dad's the Sheriff you know, so maybe kidnapping his son isn't the best idea."

The woman laughed. "Oh sweetie, you have no idea what's going on do you?"

Stiles realized very quickly that this woman did not take him for a normal reason. This had to do with Scott, Scott who he found out was a werewolf all of thirty seconds before ending up in the basement.

"Look lady, I don't know what kind of stuff you think is going on, but I don't really give a damn, so just let me go and we'll call it a day okay?" Stiles was beginning to panic.

The woman laughed and slapped Stiles across the face.

"Kate!"

Stiles just realized there was another person in the room. He squinted that the figure sitting on the dark stairs. "Allison?"

Allison looked down.

"What are you doing? What's going on?" Stiles was getting more upset now.

"I-I'm sorry, but this is how it has to be."

Kate laughed. "Allison, do not feel bad for him. Just because he doesn't know what exactly is going on, does not mean he gets a free pass from the cross fire. Remember that we need him."

"Need me? Need me for what?"

"We need Scott to know your life is in danger unless he can bring us the Alpha."

"What? Alpha? You mean that thing don't you?"

Kate looked at him. "You saw it?"

Stiles nodded. "Yeah, right before…Look I don't know how much Allison has told you about me and Scott, but we aren't friends anymore. Why would he care what happens to me?"

Kate smiled and grabbed his face. "Because he's been trying to protect you this entire time." She let go. "But look where that got you."

"Just please let me go." Stiles looked at Allison. "Allison please, this is crazy!"

Allison looked at Kate. "Can we just get this over with please?"

Kate looked at Stiles. "Sorry champ, but now we have to get down to business." She came over and punched him hard in the face.

"What are you doing?" Stiles tried to regain his bearings.

Kate ignored him and punched him again, this time on the other side of his face. Stiles could already feel blood seeping on his lip. Stiles could not get another word in before Kate hit him again, and again, and again. Stiles thought the beating would last forever, but then finally the punching stopped. Stiles could no longer support his head because of the pain. Kate walked behind him and grabbed what little hair he had to raise his head up. Stiles had blood in his eyes, but he could see Allison standing in front of him holding a phone.

"Wha?" Stiles tried asking her what she was doing, but the words would not come out.

Allison snapped a picture of Stiles, and then typed a message. After she sent the picture she handed the phone to a guy Stiles never noticed come downstairs.

"There. Now we wait." Kate patted Stiles on the chest before dropping his head back down.

Stiles had no idea what was going on, but he knew it was nothing good. So many thoughts were rushing through his head. He had found out so much in so little time, and he still felt like he knew nothing. Stiles just hoped he and Scott would survive all this.

Scott had lost the alpha, or at least he hoped he did. He felt like the creature was just messing with him since he could probably sniff him out from a mile away. The sun was coming up and the full moon was ending. Scott was finally able to calm down and control his shifting. He needed to find Derek, he was the only one that could help right now. And then there was the matter of Stiles. Scott had smelled Stiles as he was running around during the full moon. He was not sure why he followed the sent. At first he was pretty sure he was going to rip him apart, but when he smelled the fear omit off the boy, something changed in Scott. He had an overwhelming sense of protection over Stiles, and that iswhat he did. Scott had no idea what Stiles would say to him now, but he needed to explain things. Scott needed Stiles to know he did not tell him what was happening to protect him.

Scott was heading to Derek's when his phone vibrated in his pocket, he pulled out and checked the text he was sent. Scott's eyes widened at the sight before him. It was a picture of a very beaten Stiles. Scott knew no werewolf had done that, it was hunters. Allison's family. Scott dialed the number that sent him the text and a man answered.

"Let him go, he has nothing to do with this." Scott gripped the phone tight.

The man laughed. "He has everything to do with this now, Scott. You bring us the alpha and we'll let him go."

"I don't know who the alpha is, if I did, I'd tell you."

"Then you better figure out who it is shouldn't you? Work fast, the longer you wait the less time Stiles has." The man hung up leaving Scott in a panic. He had no idea what he was going to do.

All Scott knew was that he needed to find Derek and quick. He was thankful that Derek was where he usually was in his underground hideout. The others were not there, which made Scott wonder how their full moon had gone. They were all supposed to go to Derek's for the full moon, but they were swayed by the lunar light not to go.

"Derek!"

Derek came out of the train car. "What happened?" He thought Scott may have done something the night before.

"It's my friend Stiles, they took him, the Argents took him and now they want me to get them the alpha or they'll kill him. I don't know what to do."

Derek was not expecting that. "Okay, Scott it's going to be alright, we'll figure out a plan."

Scott sighed. "This wasn't supposed to happen. I thought I was protecting him, but now…Derek we have to figure out who the alpha is, we have to tell the Argents."

"Look Scott, I've been trying to figure out who the alpha is for weeks, and I don't know. Maybe we don't have to figure it out though, maybe we just need bring it out, then the Argents can have him."

"Or it kills all of us and them. He's too strong Derek."

"What about Allison?" Derek raised his eyebrows.

"What about her?"

"She's one of them, maybe you can figure out where they are keeping him."

"But she doesn't know about any of this." Scott did not want to drag Allison into this either.

"Whether she does or doesn't, she has to know something is going on. She might know of places that her dad would bring Stiles. Just fish around and see what you can dig up. She has to know something Scott. She could be the only way this thing doesn't end in bloodshed."

Scott nodded. He had no idea what he was going to tell Allison, but he needed to think of something. He could not tell her about being a werewolf, but if she had any idea where Stiles could be, then maybe he would have to. Before Scott could come with a plan he was dialing Allison's number.

"Scott?" Allison groaned a little. "Do have any idea what time it is?"

"I know, I'm sorry, I just..can I talk to you please? Somewhere, anywhere, I just need to talk to you, okay?"

There was a pause on the other side. "Um, yeah I guess."

"Just meet me outside the School, as soon as you can."

"Okay, okay, I'll be there soon."

Scott hung up. He still had no idea what he was going to say to her. Scott was not sure if he cared at this point. He had limited time to save Stiles, and he was not planning on wasting it. Getting to the school took no time at all, so Scott paced back and forth until Allison finally drove up. He was so nervous when he saw her car, he did not know what he was going to do when she got out. She looked concerned as she stepped out of her car and headed towards Scott.

"What's going on?"

"Stiles is missing." He just blurted it out.

"What?"

"After the game last night, he's gone and no one's seen him."

Allison scrunched her eyebrows together and looked away like she was thinking.

"What is it?"

Allison shook her head. "I don't know, I'm sure it's nothing, but last night I heard my dad on the phone talking about using the Stilinski kid. Scott I think my family has been lying to me."

"What do you mean?"

"There's just a lot that doesn't add up, I know they're hiding something, but I don't have any clue why they would want Stiles. I mean he's the Sheriff's son right, why would anyone take him? It's ridiculous."

Scott sat down on the steps. "No, you're right. Allison there's some things about your family I think you should know. There's things about me I think you should know."

"What are you talking about?" Allison backed up a little.

"Look your family, they umm, well they..this is going to sound crazy, but they hunt werewolves."

Allison looked at him like he was messing with her. "Yeah, okay and what Stiles is a werewolf?"

Scott shook his head. "No, I am." He looked at her with glowing yellow eyes.

Allison gasped and put her hand over her mouth.

"I won't hurt you I swear! Look I know it's all hard to believe, but it's the truth, and you're family is trying to use Stiles to get information out of me."

Allison looked like she was trying to take all the information in. She sank down on the steps next to Scott. "No, actually it all makes a sense kind of, but they wouldn't hurt Stiles, they would never do something like that."

Scott pulled out his phone and showed Allison the picture of a beaten Stiles. "Yes they would."

"Oh my god, Scott what do they want from you?"

"They want the one that bit me."

"So give it to them. You can't be protecting him if he did this to you."

"I don't know who bit me. I got attacked in the woods one night. No one knows who he is."

"Did you tell them that?"

Scott sighed. "Yeah, of course I did, but they said if I couldn't bring them the alpha then I should figure it out. I think they want me to give them all the werewolves in town."

"How many are there?"

Scott shrugged. "The alpha has been keeping busy. Allison look I have to save Stiles, but I can't bring them anything for him. Do you have any idea where they could be keeping him?"

Allison shook her head. "No, but if you gave them names of the others then they might let him go right?"

"I can't do that to them."

"Then we need to figure out who the one that bit you is." Allison looked at Scott like they would be able to figure it out easily.

"Look, even if we did figure it out, they want me to bring him to them. Whoever it is would never fall for something like that."

"So we lure it out, trap him where my dad can do whatever it is he wants, and then they can let Stiles go."

"And then kill me." Scott had a feeling he was not getting out of this.

"I won't let that happen to you. We'll figure this out Scott, I promise."
