Chapter Eighteen:

"There is nothing here!", Scott huffed in frustration as the pack relocated back in the main room of the abandoned office building Stormy was staying in.

Lydia shook her head with a frown, "It was a waste of time coming here."

Allison nodded in agreement, "There is nothing here to help us find Stormy."

Scott turned his eyes to the rest of the pack, "Did you guys find anything?", he asked, hoping for a positive answer from the rest of the pack.

Isaac shook his head, "How the hell was she even living here?", he mumbled more to himself as his eyes roamed over the dirty and dust-filled room.

"There is this...", Stiles announced tapping his finger on the large map pinned to the wall.

"Is that Beacon Hills?", Scott asked stepping forward, squinting his eyes at the map as he examined it.

Stiles nodded, "Stormy circled all the houses, buildings, all the places in the preserve Osiris pack could be hiding", he explained, pointing towards the red circles the hunter had drawn.

"But that's only if they are actually in the preserve, right?", Lydia clarified, giving Stiles a questioning look.

Derek nodded, "Yes, but it's more likely that they're in the preserve somewhere. It's out of the public eye so they don't have to hide their wolf side. They can run, hunt and howl and they wouldn't gain any unwanted attention", he explained, knowing what it felt like to have that freedom from when he was younger, living in the Hale house which was now burnt down.

Allison stepped closer to the map and pointed to four locations that were already crossed off, "She's already cleared some spots", she pointed out.

"Yeah, I think we should start searching the others", Stiles suggested, motioning his words in Scott's direction since he was the alpha.

Isaac's eyebrows knit together as he looked over the map, "There are seventeen places!"

"Well, technically there's thirteen since she's already cleared four", Stiles corrected, clearly annoyed at the beta because he wasn't being helpful or positive. And Stiles needed to stay positive, needed something for them to go on. He couldn't just sit and wait for another lead because they had nothing else. There was no scent to follow, no phone to track, nothing that could help them find where Osiris has gotten Stormy held up. This obviously wasn't like a hostage situation, they weren't waiting for a phone call or negotiations. Osiris wanted Stormy Winchester dead, that is all. This was all they had to go on.

"Oh, that makes it better", Isaac replied sarcastically.

Stiles turned to Isaac with an icy look, "If you want out scarfy, then the door is right there", he snapped, losing his temper as he pointed towards the front door. Then he felt hands around his chest which pulled him slightly back, not realising that he had taken a step towards the wolf.

"Calm down, Stiles. He didn't mean it like that", Derek assured him, letting go of the teen when he didn't make another attempt towards his beta, not that he was worried Stiles would actually harm him. Isaac could obviously take care of himself against a human but there was no need for the commotion. Clearly, Stiles emotions were running high because his friend was missing.

Stormy hadn't been in Beacon Hills long enough to form a strong friendship with the pack, especially since the relationship essentially began with her being kidnapped by them. Their alliance with the hunter had been sort of rough after that, but they all eventually learned to work together after time, to be able to join forces and cooperate with one another. But not Stiles, even though he feared the hunter when he first found out about who she was, he always seemed to give her the benefit of the doubt. When they all questioned if she could be trusted, he went to her to find out for himself. When they all kept their distance and only dealt with Stormy when they were trying to figure out who was responsible for the murders in town, Stiles didn't. He actually got to know the hunter, he gave her rides home, went on a study date with her, they stayed up all night researching about Osiris, they just worked well together. Stiles was the one who built a bond with the hunter, even though it wasn't a strong one, they had connected with each other on some level, so he wasn't prepared to lose the hunter just yet.

Stiles dropped the glare directed at Isaac, readjusted his flannel and then turned towards the map. He quickly unpinned it from the wall and discarded the thumbtacks carelessly as they fell to the floor with a metallic clink! Removing the large map from the wall, he swiftly folded it up into a decent size before he held it up in the air for the whole pack to see.

"This is the only lead we have, so we're following it", he spoke firmly with an air of finality that no one wanted to argue with. Then he began to make his way towards the door.

"But Stiles, your dad isn't going to be happy if we...", but the boy was already out the door, "... take anything", Scott breathed out the rest of his sentence uselessly. He just hoped that the big bare square where the map used to be on the wall didn't look so suspicious when the cops got there.

Osiris stepped towards Stormy Winchester with his arms crossed tightly against his chest, his gray suit and vest impeccably ironed out and clean. "It's really unfortunate that I can't kill you yet, not until you tell me what I want to know. But you're not cooperating, so I'm going to have to explore some methods of persuasion", Osiris looked down at his fingers which were protruding with claws and wiggled them in the air, "I don't want to use these. That will just get messy, and I'd rather not ruin my shoes...", he paused looking down at his pristine sleek dress shoes, "... they're my favourite", he hummed more to himself before looking back up at the hunter, "So there is another technique I will like to use."

Stormy stared straight ahead at the alpha, looking bored from his little speech, "You're going to torture me to death with your voice... because that might just work", she gave him a mocking smile, ignoring the burning sensation of the muscles in her arms being forced above her head for so long. It wasn't a comfortable positive to be in at all.

The werewolf's lips smoothed into a wide smile as he wiggled a finger at her accusingly, "Always with the witty comments, little Winchester. But not for long", he warned confidently. Then he walked passed her and wheeled in a small squeaky metal trolley from behind her. There was an object on top of it. It looked like a large car battery which had a sort of rod connected to it by a long wire. "I have this nifty device here", he said, tapping it happily then picked up the rod and held it up for Stormy to see, "It sends an electric current to whatever this little rod touches... that will be you", he smiled sadistically, pointing the rod in her direction. "The voltage and current are controlled which means you will feel the pain of electric shock but it won't physically harm you. Which means you'll still be alive when you reunite with your brother."

"That's never going to happen", Stormy stated strongly, her eyes never leaving the wolf. There wasn't going to be a reunion with Dean because there was no way she was telling Osiris where he was for it to happen. She'd rather die than lose the last family member left in her life. And if she ever told Osiris where Dean was, she'll be putting Lisa and Ben's lives at risk, and they didn't deserve that.

"We'll just see about that", Osiris said without a worry in the world, then turned and flicked a switch on the device. A red light appeared and a soft humming sound began to emanate from the car battery looking part. The alpha stepped closer to the hunter with the metal rod still in his hand as his eyes roamed over Stormy's half-bare torso. Then his eyes met hers again and had an intensity in them, "Where is your brother, Stormy?"

Stormy instinctively tensed up a little at the sight of the threatening wolf coming at her with something she knew would cause her harm. Her hands pulled slightly at the ropes restraining her as the humming of the machine grew louder against her ears. She eyed the device which she knew would subject her to so much pain, then her eyes met Osiris once again but without a speck of fear in them. Even though she was afraid, she was used to mimicking the state fearlessness. Because in these types of situations you can't let the fear overtake you, you just need to fake it until you make it. You cannot show them your fear.

Stormy looked up at the ropes wrapped around her wrists and pulled at them slightly before facing him again, "You can't tell because of the position I'm in, but I just shrugged. Thought I'd you know..."

Osiris just simply nodded, his expression not faltering in the slightest. Then without any warning shoved the rod into Stormy's left ribcage which caused a course of electricity to travel through her. Even though it was placed on her ribcage, the current felt like it traveled through much more than that. The agonising shock felt like it was hitting every muscle, bone, and nerve in the area and it took all of her not to scream from it. It felt horrible and hurt like hell. He held it there for only two seconds before letting go but it seemed like so much longer. He pulled the rod back and waved it in the air like a toy, getting into Stormy's face as he asked her again, "Where is Dean?"

Stormy inhaled a pained breath as she came eye to eye with the wolf and cocked her head to the side like she was about to reveal a big secret, "He told me he was going to Disney land but..."

Tzzzz!

Another current ran through her but this time the rod was placed at her chest which somehow hurt even more than her ribcage. Osiris held it there for a few seconds longer than before, completely cutting her sentence short and nearly knocking all the air out her. It was impossible to move or even speak when being electrocuted, it completely overcomes you. But somehow, she could've screamed from the shock to her body but forced herself to keep it in, not wanting to give him the satisfaction.

"Where is he, Stormy?", Osiris questioned again, his tone still calm and patient.

Stormy's breathing was beginning to pick up now as she stared at the wolf, "If I say 'right behind you', would you turn around?"

Tzzzzzzzzz!

"Ughh...", Stormy let out a groan after he let go and looked up at the wolf with a frown, "For a second I thought you were actually going to turn around. But seriously, wouldn't it have been cool if he was actually there?" Stormy was then subjected to yet another electric shock and didn't even realise she was screaming until he let go.

"That's the sound I like to hear", hummed Osiris as he moved closer to Stormy whose head was beginning to feel too heavy to hold up. He then ran his free hand through her hair, brushing his fingers gently through it as if trying to comfort her. "You know, it doesn't have to be this way", he said softly in her ear, continuing to play with her hair tenderly. "If you just tell me where he is, this can all end", he assured her.

Stormy shook his hands off her as she lifted her head higher to glare at him, "Screw you!"

The alpha just chuckled and pulled himself back before shoving the rod into her stomach right next to her belly button. And it was as if that section was connected to everything, it felt like the electricity was running through every inch of her body. Osiris held it there for a good ten seconds as the hunter screamed before letting go, allowing her head to drop to her chest as she tried to regain her breath. The electricity was expelling all the strength and energy in her body, making her limbs feel fatigued and exhausted.

"Do I have to ask again?", Osiris questioned.

Stormy forced herself to lift her heavy head and look at him, "I s-seem to have forgotten the question", she frowned sarcastically.

Osiris smiled, "Then this should rekindle your memory...", he shoved the rod into the exact same spot near her belly button again and held it there for even longer before letting go. "Do you remember now?"

Stormy shook her head, not having the energy to lift it up anymore. "N-nope, nothing. I t-think you should t-try again...", he managed to mumble out between heavy breaths.

Tttzzzzzzzz!

Osiris shocked her in the same spot for the third time, and Stormy couldn't even scream this time as the electricity stole her breath. She now felt an intense burning in her stomach, like it was on fire because it was hit in the same position so many times. "How about now, sweetheart?", he asked as he tucked the stray hairs behind her ear again while she tried to regain her breath, enjoying the fact that she no longer had the strength to shoo his hand away.

Stormy's muscles were spasming, her arms were aching, her stomach felt like a fire pit and her whole head was throbbing from being the point of impact of two collisions which caused her to lose consciousness. She was tired, thirsty, hungry and probably wasn't going to live through this one and all she could think about was Dean. How her brother was alive and okay, that he had a new family to keep him sane, and that was all that mattered at that moment. She thought of trying to call Cas, but he had engraved Enochian sigils in her and her brothers rib cages to cloak them from all angels including himself. And he's kind of been on hiatus since Sam died, and even if he answered her call which seemed unlikely he wasn't even going to be able to locate her. Then the first thing he'd do was get Dean involved and that was the last thing she wanted. She just wanted her brother to live a normal life for once. Maybe if she tried to live normal like Dean, she wouldn't be in this mess. And for some reason, this fact seemed so hilarious to her. That she skipped the normal life with her brother for this crap, to be tortured and hurt.

She just wanted her brother to live a normal life for once. Maybe if she tried to live normal like Dean, she wouldn't be in this mess. And for some reason, this fact seemed so funny to her. The fact that she skipped the normal life with her brother for this crap, to be tortured by a psychotic werewolf who they should've of killed years ago. And Dean would kill her anyways if she even survived this. It was so hilarious that even though she was most likely closer to her death date, she was still afraid of the scolding she was going to receive from her big brother if he ever finally gets his hands on her.

This made the hunter release a hysterical laugh as she forced her head up to finally look up at Osiris and answer him, "C-can you rep-peat the q-question?", she breathed out with a smile.

This time Osiris growled, finally losing his patience as he stabbed the rod angrily into Stormy's stomach for the fourth time. The hunter's body went rigid, she was unable to breathe, move or even scream as he held it there for so long that she thought she was going to pass out. When he finally let go, her head dropped heavily against her chest and her breathing was so quick and heavy that her vision was beginning to blur. But Osiris didn't give her time to regain her breath as he grabbed hold of her chin and forced her head up to look at him. "Tell me where Dean is!", he yelled in her face.

She could feel the claws protruding from his nails and poking into her jaw, about to break the skin. When she finally regained her breath enough to answer him, her brown eyes met his icy blues with a serious intensity in them, "You m-might as well k-kill me now, bec-cause there is n-nothing you can do to m-me that will get me to rat out my b-brother", she stammered, and even though she was breathing heavily, her voice still seemed to come out strong.

Osiris face was reddening by the second, but then he suddenly just paused and closed his mouth shut like something just occurred to him. "Maybe not to you...", he breathed out with a smile reappearing against his lips.

Stormy instantly stiffened from his words. It was as if the alpha just thought of a really good idea to make her talk and it unsettled her to the core. "Wha-at do you m-mean?", she asked still out of breath but forced herself to sound strong. However, she knew her heartbeat betrayed her as it began to beat even faster than it already was.

Osiris eyes traveled down to Stormy's heart where he no doubt heard the change, and it caused his grin to widen. He didn't utter another word as he released her chin, turned around and walked out of the barn, leaving the Winchester alone and anxious.

Writer's Note:

Hey there, my buddies!
