Danika's POV

I leaned back and rested my head up against the beam I was now tied to. I was exhausted, sore and terrified. I didn't know what was going on or who/what these people were. All I knew is that they suddenly grew claws and when they got really aggressive, their eyes glowed. Oh god, their eyes glow, I sound like a crazy person! They have to have drugged me if I'm seeing glowing eyes but the claw marks are just as real as the bruises! I sighed, which in itself hurt after the beating from Ethan and Aidan that felt like it lasted forever, and looked around the room. I have noticed earlier that there were two other people in the room but now they were staying as far away from me as possible, probably due to what happened earlier. Though the idea that they could be the same as the others made it kind of a relief that they're staying far away from me.

Earlier

It wasn't too long after Aidan and Ethan had left that I noticed there were at least two other people in the room. At this point I was way too tired to try to go over there and talk to them or get their help. Frankly, I don't know who or what anyone is so it may just be best to keep to myself. Still, I could see them through some cracks behind a large metal box they were sitting behind. The two I could see were holding hands. I was just thinking about trying to get up off the floor, maybe even just to a sitting position when the door opened again. I squeezed my eyes closed, trying to internalize the panic. When I opened them, I saw Deucalion at the door and someone very familiar walking in.

"Ms. Morrell? What are you doing here? You have to help me." I squeaked out. I remembered her from my first day, I met with her in the office before I went to class. She had seemed nice and also normal but I was questioning both now that she was involved in this situation. She looked at me with eyes that were somehow apologetic and cold at the same time, as if to say: I'm sorry you're involved but don't think that is going to get in the way. I made my best effort to get off the floor before she reached me but failed, barely able to get an arm under me before she reached down and pulled me off the floor and dragged me to the neared beam that went from the floor to the ceiling. The pain when she grabbed me was horrible! It already felt like my whole body was bruised and now she was just pushing on that. I hissed loudly in pain but was too weak to fight back and didn't want to anger anyone so I bit my tongue and didn't yell out. She grabbed rope from behind her, walked around and started to tie me up. I knew better than to fight it considering how weak I was and the fact that there was no way I was going to escape with Deucalion at the door with who knows who else!

"Mountain ash ropes laced with mistletoe. You're probably going to want to stay away from that!" Deucalion called in the opposite direction of myself, most likely to the others behind the metal box. I didn't know what that meant but it was clear whatever it meant, it was making the other two slightly antsy. As Ms. Morrell walked back towards the door, the position I was in became quite painful and I began breathing heavily. She didn't look back, but Deucalion did.

"Oh don't worry Danika, I'll get someone in here soon to make you more comfortable." I froze as he shut the door and silently let a few tears fall, terrified of what was to come and hoping that Stiles and Scott have figured out how to get me out of here, most likely with the help of the police.

Stiles's POV

"Kay what would a pack of Alpha's want with Erica, Boyd and Danika?" Stiles asked as they walked back towards the school. After the long night Stiles and Scott just had, researching how to break into the bank, only to come up short and have the answers given to them by the Sheriff the morning after, yet still they had to go to school and were meeting up after school to plan the break in and out.

"I'm not sure it's them they want…" Scott replied

"Kay what like Derek? Like they're recruiting?" Stiles wondered but kept walking while Scott froze in place. Stiles quickly noticed and turned around the see Scott staring off behind them. He followed Scott's gaze to two varsity jackets walking in the opposite direction. Aidan and Ethan.

"Hey Scott? Ya coming?" Stiles snapped Scott back into focus. Scott turned his head back to where Aidan and Ethan were but they were gone. He turned back and wide eyed he walked ahead of Stiles back into the building.

My mind was drifting, anywhere it could go to get away from here. I was so stupid for not listening to Stiles and Scott when they told me to stay away from Ethan and Aidan. It may have not even made a difference but it could have. If I wasn't so freaking concerned with not having no friends then maybe I wouldn't be in this mess! Or maybe I still would be… Lost in thought, I didn't notice right away with the door opened and Ethan and Aidan walked in. It wasn't until they closed the door that caused me to jump and realize that they were inside. I looked up to see them and almost instantly looked to the ground.

"Danika, your heart is beating a mile a minute, you need to calm down." Ethan laughed sarcastically. I squirmed uncomfortably, hearing their footsteps come closer and closer until I could see their feet on the part of the floor I was looking at. Taking a deep breath, I moved my eyes up to theirs and they were glowing again. I slammed my eyes shut and the panicking started. My breaths got shorter and shorter as the boys just stood there watching me freak out. It wasn't until the second slap across the face that I snapped out of externally panicking and exclusively panicked internally.

"You know, you're really stupid. We heard all day Scott and Stiles telling you to stay away from us but the second anything happens, you came running right to us." Aidan knelt down and looked at me with his glowing eyes.

"Stiles even almost got his ass kicked just to try and keep you away from us." Ethan added. I looked to the floor beside me to avoid eye contact.

"HEY!" Aidan grabbed my face and faced it back towards his. "When I'm talking to you, look at me!" He let go and hit me across the face again, bringing tears to my eyes that I desperately tried to fight back.

"Don't worry about the pain, by the end of the night you're going to be dead anyways."

Stiles's POV

"Kay!" Stiles pulled out the map of the bank and laid it on the table. "You see this? This is how they got in. It's a rooftop air conditioning vent, leads down inside into the wall of the vault. Which is here." Stiles circles the vault air conditioning vent. "Kay? One of the robbers was lowered into this shaft. now that space is so small it took them about 12 hours to drill into that wall, which is stone by the way. Then throughout the rest of the night they siphoned the cash up to the guys back on the roof through that one little shaft in the wall. Boom." He hit the roof with his marker and then closed the lid, proudly.

"Can we fit in there?" Scott asked.

"Yes we can but very very barely. And they also patched the wall obviously so we're going to need a drill of some kind. And I'm thinking maybe a diamond bit…"

"Forget the drill." Derek interrupted.

"Sorry?" Stiles asked.

"If I go in first how much space do I have?" He looked up from the table to Stiles. Stiles's head rolled to Scott and then back to Derek.

"Wha..What do you think you're going to do Derek? You gonna punch through the wall?" Derek sighed.

"Yes Stiles. I'm going to punch through the wall."

"Okay big guy let's see it. Let's see that fist. Big old fist, come on make it. Get it out there, don't be scared. Big Bad wolf look at that, yeah." Stiles taunted and Derek, annoyed, raised his fist.

"See this?" Stiles raised his hand in front of Derek's fist. "That's maybe three inches of room to gather enough force to to punch through solid co.." Stiles was interrupted by Derek punching his hand, sending him off balance and into the table. Derek remained unfazed.

"Ah… AHHH. He can do it!" Stiles yelled, walking away holding his arm. Stiles continued to whimper in the background. Scott stood shocked while Peter chuckled from the stairs.

"I'll get through the wall. Who's following me down?" There was a moment of silence.

"Don't look at me!" Peter defended. "I'm not up to fighting speed yet. And honestly with Isaac out of commission you're not looking at very good odds for yourself."

"So I'm suppose to just let them die?"

"One of them is already dead…"

"We. Don't. Know. That."

"Do I have to remind you what we're up against here? A PACK of Alphas. All of them, killers. And if that's not enough to scare your testicles back into your stomach, try to remember that two of them combine bodies to force one giant Alpha! Sure Erica and Boyd were sweet kids, I'm sure Danika was too. They're going to be missed."

"Can someone kill him again please?" Stiles rejoined the conversation, the pain had finally subsided. Stiles looked to Derek and Peter's head snapped to Stiles.

"Derek? Seriously?" He turned to Derek. "Not worth the risk." He leaned back onto the stairs, arms crossed.

"What about you?" Derek looked over in Stiles and Scott's direction.

"Yeah if you want me to come!" Stiles commented.

"Not you."

"Scott." Stiles pointed his thumb back to Scott then turned to Scott and pointed back and forth between Scott and Derek, stepping out from the conversation.

"I don't know about Erica but if Boyd and Danika are still alive, we have to do something." Scott looked behind him to Peter and Peter sighed. "We have to try."
