Notes:

I'm kind of obsessed with CORPSE, the guy who sings music on YouTube with a really deep voice. All-day, I have been listening to his music and watching people react to him. Because I really like his music and it's just my kind of jam.

His song agoraphobic is like my mood for these past days recently, and it's just straight fire.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter, and that's all for tonight. It's 11 p.m., and I'm drained. I just ate some really bomb Chinese food, but I think I ate a little too much of it, so now I'm ready to pass out.

Lydia POV:

10 minutes prior, before Stiles started drowning...

I slowly and carefully made my way down the staircase. I was confident as I could be with my own powers, but I didn't really know how to deal with a Kitsune. The last creature I faced of Japanese origin was terrifying. And this one is just as scary.

The amount of tricks this fox has up his sleeve is disconcerting and a bit over powerful in my book. Also, it's like a step down from a Nogitsune, so it's giving me a little bit of a nightmare. Awaking nightmare of sorts.

The staircase wasn't too long. And the light that I saw was indeed a lightbulb hanging from the ceiling. It was flickering a bit, a little bit spooky if I do say so myself. But at least it was some light in the room.

"Klaus! Hey! Can you hear me?" I tried calling out to Klaus, I know he disappeared, but I was kind of hoping it was because he was scouting it out ahead of me rather than someone who made him disappear, not of his own choices.

Because that just makes it all the more terrifying for me. But it seemed like I was all alone here. Down in this dark, creepy, light-flickering, cold basement.

I looked around the basement, but unfortunately, Stiles was nowhere to be found. And even more, unfortunately, the light eventually just flickered out. And I was stuck in the dark, and I didn't know where the staircase was.

God damn it!

The things I do for my friends.

Peter POV:

When I came to, I was lying on the floor. It was cold and wet. Well, actually, the wind of wherever I was blowing on my wet clothing was what made it cold and wet.

I saw nothing around me, and I was in some kind of empty room, but it bothered me because I could feel the wind blowing on my face, but I was trapped in a box.

So something was definitely wrong. I definitely stumbled into a trap of some sort, and I have no idea how to get out of here.

Klaus POV:

I drop the door on the floor—no need to hold it anymore. Wherever I was transported, it was in some space that had no exits. I was basically trapped in the box.

It was very bright in here like the sun was shining on my face, but there was no sign of where exactly that light was coming from. Not that it mattered. I was clearly trapped by whatever kidnapped Stiles.

Well, hopefully, everyone else was in a better situation than me.

Chris POV:

After looking around the basement for 10 minutes and finding absolutely nothing, I was about to just go back upstairs and look for Peter because we obviously went to the wrong building. But as I made my way back to the staircase, the same man that I saw disappear appeared in front of me again.

Even though it couldn't really do as much damage as, say, silver bullets, I still held my gun up to his head. I'm sure a good headshot to the face would be good enough.

"Relax, you're here for the boy Stiles right?" The man asks.

I'd much rather injure him, but he does have Stiles still kidnapped, so I might as well play nice for now until I get Stiles back.

"Yes. Where did you take him?" I asked, the gun slightly lowered.

The man suddenly disappears slower, this time, more like he's turning into mist. And he appears right in front of my face.

"Here."

It was the last thing I heard in the basement as he touched my forehead, and I disappeared along with him.

Klaus POV:

I was running, I thought I was trapped in a box, but it seems to be an allusion. I've been running for ten minutes, and I've yet to reach the wall of the box. I don't know much about Kitsune's, but I definitely did not know they could do this...

"Wow, you run really fast. I could've sworn you were a werewolf, though. Hmm, I guess I can be wrong sometimes." Says a voice behind me.

I spin around and attempt to attack. But I slash at the mist.

"All of you are so hostile...sheesh." The voice says behind me again.

Except before I can turn, I feel a hand touch my head, and I see darkness.

Peter POV:

I figured I was trapped in this box, so I didn't even attempt to escape. However, I couldn't even see an escape route. I just sat on the floor and massaged my head. I was sitting there for 10 minutes.

Then a man appeared in front of me.

Before I could even stand up to attack, he appeared in front of my face, almost teleporting, and touched my forehead. I blacked out again.

I'm starting to get annoyed.

Lydia POV:

I finally reached the staircase again. And I'm slowly making my way back up.

I'm following the light from the floor above. It took me 10 minutes to get back to the staircase. I was shuffling around in the dark, trying not to trip with my heels on.

As I'm almost to the top step, I hear something like a rock being kicked behind me, and I turn my head just slightly, I notice it, but it's n ot like I can do anything to stop it from happening.

I see a hand come from behind me in the darkness. I'm about to scream, but the hand covers my mouth and I blackout.

What the hell is going on?

Another POV:

After talking to the child, I realize I may have overreacted a bit. Not a lot because I was just cautious. But I may have jumped the gun a bit. I go off to collect all the other kids from my traps that I set up previously. I trapped them in the illusion buildings that I created.

You walk in, and you think it's a normal building. But just looking at the building traps you in the illusion. There's not really even a building there. I set the trap up a few hours ago. Because I remember Eleanor told me that he had a companion that he traveled with, so I was just cautious after I figured out he was a Nogitsune.

But now that I have seen the mistakes I made, I decided just to collect them from the trap. It was quite easy picking them out. The only way out of that trap is to make skin contact with the person casted the original illusion. And that was easy to do as I can move around quickly in my own illusion.

It seems like overkill a bit of an apology. I may have harshly reacted when I didn't need to. His situation is odd. Actually, it's so unique I've never heard of it before. I've heard of a hybrid before—only of one other. I mean, what supernatural creature hasn't heard of the originals. And the deadly tail of the original hybrid. What are the chances of running into that man?

But in the kid's case, that's not a natural phenomenon either. Though I guess hybrids rarely ever happen naturally in nature. Even in the supernaturalistic side of nature, they are scarce. While it's almost easy to disbelieve his story, I can see how that may have happened.

And I sort of believe him. Of course, I have to do my own test to ensure what he says is the truth, but for now, I guess I'll release him and his friends.

Stiles POV:

One by one, my friends started to appear on the floor in front of me.

I was still tied to the chair, so it's not like I can go see if they're okay. But they all looked fairly unhurt from the outside.

But they were all unconscious.

Weirdly enough, the first person that appeared in front of me was Chris Argent. The very person I was trying to avoid. Somehow he was involved in this rescue mission, which I assumed happened because why else would he be here.

But I wonder what led to him getting involved.

I guess I have to ask them when they wake up.

Shortly after the man disappeared, my friend started to appear, out of thin air, which I assume this is the other Kitsune's doing. I mean, who else could make people appear out of thin air? Then the man who can disappear into thin air.

Once everyone was on the floor in front of me, the man came back again. And the moment he fully materialized, the room that I was in disappeared, and the chair that I was sitting on also disappeared, as I fell to the floor on my butt.

And apparently, we were actually sitting in an abandoned field surrounded by giant warehouses.

I was still chained up, just not to a chair, which I don't know if that's better or worse.

Notes:

Well, that's all for tonight.

I don't know when the next update will be; I don't have a schedule for that sort of thing. But I think four chapters in two days is a good bit to hold you over for a little while.

I'm going to get onto my other stories and update them a little bit because while I neglected this story, I also neglected the other ones, so this is my own fault for juggling six stories at once.
