Chapter Two: Torture for Information
(Pack house, afternoon)
Derek was pacing in the living room, while the rest of the Pack, now including Jackson, were sitting either on the floor, or the couch. Derek looked at Scott, and growled, "Where is she? She should've been back by now!"
Scott pulled his phone out, and dialed Allison's number. He said, "Allison, where are you?"
"I'm standing in the middle of our basement, and they're not here."
"What do you mean, they're not there?"
"Exactly what I just said. No one is down here…it doesn't look like they've been here at all."
"He told you that they were there, we all heard it!"
"I know, I don't understand."
"You'd better hope that we find them in time, Hunter. You'd better find out where they are, and don't call back before you do. In fact, find out where they are, go to them, and then call me back when you make sure you're at that location."
Before she could answer, he hung up, and Erica looked at their Alpha, saying, "What are we gonna do?"
He answered, "There's nothing we really can do, except plan. Plan our attack for when we find them. But, you all remember this…Gerard is mine."
They all nodded, and waited for Allison to call back, impatiently.
The couple was asleep, in the corner, when Gerard came back in, holding three chains. Once he had shut the door, and locked it, he walked over to them. He picked up a drill and a nail, and kneeled down on the floor. He started to drill the nail into the floor, causing the two to wake up. He said as they jumped up, "I wouldn't try anything, if I were you. And, it's not like you can get out."
They glared at his back, and when he was finished, he hooked one of the chains around the top of the nail. He stood up, and picked up a blowtorch. He melted the chain onto the nail, and then threw the blowtorch to the side. He said as he kneeled down, "Get over here, Max."
"Why?"
He sighed, and took out a knife, which he threw at Stiles. The Alpha howled in pain as it sliced his arm, embedding itself in the wall. Gerard said, "The next one will be covered in wolfsbane powder."
Max's eyes widened, and she walked forward. When she was close enough, Gerard grabbed her wrist, and pulled her the last few feet. He placed the shackle, which was on the other side of the chain, around her ankle, locking it in place. He stood up, and said as he turned off the little light was in the room, "I won't be back until Allison gets here, so I hope you're not afraid of the dark."
He chuckled, and walked over to the door. He unlocked it, and walked out, locking it back behind him. She asked, "Has it healed yet?"
"Yeah."
"I'm sorry, I should've just done what he said."
"Listen to me, Max. That wasn't your fault. Do you hear me?"
"Yeah. Stiles, I want you to hold me. Can you make your way to me?"
"I think so…hold on."
He slowly started to walk in the direction of her voice. Finally, he made his way to her, and wrapped his arms around her. Putting her head on his chest, she whispered, "I can't believe Allison would do something like this."
"I can't either, but like Scott said, it was like she was keeping things from him. And, if there's one thing I've learned about the Argents, it's that they all keep secrets."
He felt her nod, and kissed her forehead. She said, "Stiles, he won't be back for a while. Do you think…"
"Do I think what?"
"Do you think it would be long enough for you to… claim me?"
He didn't answer right away, and when he did, he said, "Max, you know what I mean when I say 'claim', right?"
"Yeah."
"Are you sure you're ready for this?"
"Absolutely sure."
He nodded, and said, "Ok, well, let's sit down."
They slowly sank to the ground, and he said, "If I'm hurting you, let me know, and I'll stop."
"I'll be fine, Stiles."
"There's one more thing you need to know about it. There's this thing called 'knotting'."
"I know…I looked it up."
He chuckled, and said, "Are you ready?"
"I'm ready."
He kissed her gently, and laid her back, so that she was lying on the floor. He continued to kiss her as he layed on top of her. She put her hands under his shirt, and moved them along his stomach and chest. She touched the button, and zipper, on his jeans, and slowly unbuttoned them, and unzipping them. He slid his thumbs under the waistband of her sweats, and slowly pulled them down, beginning to kiss her with passion.
(Argent home)
Allison was sitting on the couch, with her head in her hands, when her father came in. When he saw her, he asked, "What's the matter, Allison?"
She looked up, and said, "Grandpa took Stiles and Max, dad."
He said as he sat beside her, "What?"
"He took them from school this morning, and I-I helped him. I knew he was planning on doing something to get information about the Pack, but I didn't know he was planning on kidnapping them."
She started to cry, and he hugged her, saying, "Why would he take them? Do they know something about the werewolves?"
She didn't answer right away, but when she did, it was, "They are the werewolves, dad. So are Scott, Erica, Boyd, Isaac and Derek. Stiles and Derek are the Alphas, and Max is Stiles' Mate."
"Well, that makes a lot of sense. Well, did he say anything about where they were going?"
"He said that they were headed for the house, and that I needed to come after school. I thought that he meant here, but I checked every room."
Her father thought for a minute, and then said, "He could've meant the cabin in the mountains."
She gasped, and stood up, saying, "I've gotta go there! Thank you, dad! Love you!"
Before he could reply, she ran out, slamming the door behind her. He stood up, and grabbed his gun, and ran out behind her, knowing she was already gone.
(few hours later, basement)
Max, who had fallen asleep, woke up, clothed, to someone gently stroking her back. She gasped, and tried to get away, when she heard, "It's ok, Max. It's just me."
Stiles.
She settled down, and he pulled her closer to him, wrapping his arms around her. She sighed, "So, that's claiming…and knotting."
He chuckled, and said as he kissed her neck, "You're mine, Max."
"And, I always will be."
The door opened, and the light was turned on as they looked up. Gerard came in, and shut the door. After he locked it, he picked up the drills, and two more nails. He walked over to the wall, and drilled the nails through the surface. He hooked the other chains around the nails, and, melted the two together with the blowtorch. He walked over to the couple, and grabbed Stiles. Jerking him up, he pulled him over to the chains. He pushed him against the wall, so that his back was to Max, and chained his arms, locking him in place. He picked up a metal chain, and raised his arm as Max stood up. He swung it, hitting Stiles hard, in the middle of his back, causing him to howl in pain. Max screamed as he continued to hit her Mate, "Stop it!"
Gerard stopped momentarily, and he ripped Stiles' tattered shirt off, revealing a bloody back. Max gasped, and yelled as he continued with the torture, making Stiles grunt with each hit, "Please, stop it!"
He eventually stopped, and Max started to run forward. He pulled out a knife, and a tiny bag. She stopped, and asked in a low voice, "What's in the bag?"
He smiled, and said, "This, my dear, is Wolfsbane powder."
She growled, and Stiles panted, "If you think… that a little bit of torture, and Wolfsbane, will get us to blurt out information about out Pack, you're wrong."
Gerard didn't answer right away, he just opened the bag, and then he said, "I think you'll change your minds, eventually."
Max shook her head, and said, "No, we won't."
He looked at her, and said as he started to walk towards her, "Oh, really?"
She nodded, and started to back up, saying, "Stop, don't come any closer."
Stiles growled a warning, and then her back hit the wall, opposite of him. She gasped when he kept coming, but stopped in front of her, saying, "Well, now…let's just see if there's another way to get the information."
He pushed her into the wall, and smiled as he crushed his lips onto hers, causing Stiles to shift, outraged. She struggled to get loose, and when she finally did, she said as she pushed him away, "Don't you dare do that again!"
He smirked, and said, "Who's going to stop me?"
He took out a key, and bent down. He unlocked the shackle around her ankle, and jerked her towards the door. She yelled, "Let go of me! Stiles!"
"MAX! Let her go, Gerard!"
She screamed as he pulled her out of the room, slamming the door behind them. Stiles pulled against the chains, howling as he heard her screams, "NO!"
(outside the house)
Allison parked her car, and froze when she heard Stiles howling. She pulled out her phone, and dialed Scott's number. When he answered, she said, "I found them."
"Where are they?"
"At an old cabin, up in the mountains."
She could hear the Pack jumping up as Scott said, "Where in the mountains?"
"Ok, you know where the big well is, near the big rock?"
"Yeah."
"It's not far from there. Just smell for the smoke. And, you guys had better hurry, Stiles is howling."
"We heard him, we're on our way."
He hung up, and she jumped out of the car. She ran inside, and down to the basement, where she found the door unlocked. She ran in, but only saw Stiles. She gasped when she saw his back, saying, "What did he do to you? Are you alright, where's Max?"
Stiles glared at her, and snarled, "Do I look like I'm alright? Of course not, no thanks to you."
They heard her scream, and she said as Stiles jerked at the chains, "What's he doing to her?"
His eyes glared red as he yelled, "What do you think, Allison? Do I even have to say it?"
Her eyes widened, and he said, "Why are you even here? So you can help your psycho grandfather torture us?"
She yelled as tears came to her eyes, "I swear, Stiles, I didn't know!"
"What do you mean, you didn't know?! You helped him kidnap us!"
She walked up to him, tears spilling out of her eyes as she said, "Do you honestly think that I would do that on purpose?"
"Family always comes before friends, even in these types of situations, right?"
She started sobbing as she said, "I told the Pack where you are! I disobeyed my grandfather, family, and told them! Now do you think that I did it on purpose?"
He stared at her, and then his expression grew somewhat softer as he said, "Stop crying, I believe you."
She smiled through her tears, and he said, "Grab my phone out of my pocket, and call Derek."
She nodded, and reached into his pocket. Pulling out his cell, she looked up Derek's name, and hit 'Send'. He said, "Ok, now hold it to my ear."
She held it to his ear, and only he could hear as Derek panted, "Stiles, man, are you alright?"
He whispered, "Not really, no. He's got me chained to the wall, and he took Max off, into some part of the house."
"What's he do—oh."
"Yeah, oh. Listen, you guys don't be mad at Allison, she didn't do it on purpose."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, I don't think she would've told you where Gerard took us, if she did do it intentionally."
"Alright. Listen, just hang tight, and we'll be there shortly."
"Ok, hurry."
"We will."
They heard footsteps, and crying, down the hall, and Stiles quickly whispered, "He's coming back, I've gotta go!"
Allison hung up the phone before Derek could answer, barely getting it into his pocket as they looked at the door as Gerard pushed Max in, making her fall to the ground, sobbing. Stiles could smell something off of her, and it wasn't his. He growled, and said, "You're a sick man, Gerard!"
Gerard didn't answer him, but looked at his granddaughter, and said, "Well, Allison, it seems you value friends more than your own family."
Her stomach dropped, and she said, "What do you mean?"
He said as he walked towards her, causing her to back up, "I heard you say that you told them. Do you know what that means?"
Her back hit the wall, and still, he kept coming. As he stopped in front of her, Max pleaded, "Please, don't hurt her!"
Allison's eyes filled with tears, and she thought, How can she care about me, when she's just been raped? Her grandfather smiled, and looked at her, saying, "I've always wondered what it would be like, if…"
He looked her up and down, and said, "Well, you know…don't you?"
She gasped, and said, "No, please, Grandpa…please don't!"
She tried to run, but he grabbed her, and started to drag her out of the room as she screamed. Max and Stiles both yelled, "NO!"
