Dripping with silver blood

Derek's point of view:

The searing pain in my side worsened by the second but I was going to fight it I had to fight it. In this situation I would have preferred them to rummage through my memories but they thought I was well trained and could hide everything that I didn't want them to see. The pain was unbelievable they protruded into my side a dagger that has been soaked in wolfs bane but only enough to weaken me but still it felt like I was dying. This happened every half an hour for the past two days and all they have been waiting is for me to crack. Waiting for me to howl but I wasn't going to give in.

"You're a strong one Hale I will give you that but you and I both know you won't win."

"What do you even want with me?"

"You know that we want the true alpha and the teenager that fought me and if he isn't dead yet which is very unlikely, but you are the key to finding him."

"You do realise you'd have better luck searching through my memories."

"Probably but this is way more fun, but my shift is up we are going teenage boy hunting so it's James turn. Have fun."

As he left and James walked in I knew for about 5 or so minutes he would have to dagger me to keep up the act but as soon as they were gone we could start talking. It took longer than we both anticipated for them to leave but that time did come and we were now going to set our plan into motion.

"You can't howl."

"And you think I don't know that I have been holding it in for hours just to keep him safe."

"I know and I thank you for that but there is only so much more you can take before you crack."

"So get me out of here."

"If I let you go then I die and they will come after you and kill you."

"Okay new plan persuade your dad to check through my memories say you heard me mumbling something when I was in and out of consciousness and you think it is worth investigating."

"And you truly believe my dad is going to fall for a plan like that?"

"Yes as he will take any lead he is given at this point in time."

"True, they won't be long as I told Stiles to take Scott out of town for the day."

"You do realise he won't."

"Probably but Scott will be in a house full of humans hiding his scent so that will keep him safe for now."

Without a good bye James left the room covering the dagger in his own blood to make it look like he had been torturing me and all we needed now was the alpha of the pack to set our plan into action. Half an hour passed and then an hour and eventually two hours passed before they were back and I was exhausted but it was all worth it to save Scott. Well that was what I kept telling myself.

James' point of view:

There was no way in hell he was going to believe it but anything was worth a try. To make it look like I had been torturing Derek the whole time once I heard them come through the front door I made my way up from the basement to see three very unhappy faces which told me they hadn't found Scott.

"Any luck?"

"No because your brother can't remember a scent or what he looked like it was bit of a dead end but we will find him. What about our victim."

Here goes nothing I thought to myself. "The torturing isn't working he is nowhere near breaking point but..."

"But what?"

"He keeps mentioning something when in and out of consciousness it sounds like a name but it isn't clear so I suggest rummaging through his memories."

"You can't be serious!" Michael exclaimed.

"I am serious if it gives us a lead on anything at all it will keep us one step ahead all of the time and we need that right now.

"But he wants that he told me why are you doing what he wants."

"If he wants it then he may hide something but his subconscious mind has taken over and right now he is out cold so he can't hide anything."

"I don't care I still think you're wrong."

"He's right Michael." Dad said.

I couldn't believe that he is actually agreeing with me and has brought the decoy. I was thankful to say the least but now it was all up to Derek to hide anything about the existence of Scott from my dad and that was harder said than done. Trust me.

"James bring him to me, Michael prepare the chair for our guest."

I made my way back down to Derek and nodded to him as if I said anything they would hear everything given it away. Derek knew what he had to do but the question was whether he could do it or not. I had very little faith that he could hide everything from my dad but I was only worried about Scott he only had to hide that and we would be fine.

Scott's point of view:

"He's dead, Stiles why else hasn't he howled yet."

"He isn't dead Scott stop worrying about him."

He had to be dead he hadn't howled for help and now he was probably dead and it was all my fault.

"Scott snap out of it, he isn't dead. He just obviously doesn't need any help."

"Stiles they must be torturing him, how else are they going to get the information out of him."

"Maybe they just asked him."

"Doubt that Stiles he is dead. I can feel it."

Deaton was still there and hadn't said a word for the past 2 days until now. "Scott you would know if he was dead it would be like a gaping hole in your heart."

"Why because he is in my pack?"

"No because you care about him."

"then why is there a pain inside of me?"

"He is probably hurt and holding it all in to protect you."

"I need to find him."

"You can't he will be alright though your dad won't let anything happen to him."

"Well how much longer are they going to be it has been days?"

I was seriously worried about Derek's well being more than my own and at this point in time I didn't care if I went and they found out about me, especially if it saved me. People would disagree with me by saying protect yourself over Derek but he has done everything to protect me, he bit Allison's mum, he fought with Jennifer to stop Deucalion getting what he wants and so much more. And now he is in trouble and I am doing nothing about it.

"I have to find him; I don't care if they find out about me."

"You are not going anywhere Scott!" Shouted Deaton with that angry look in his eyes.

"He is in trouble and I am sitting here like a lemon."

"No you are doing the right thing as they are after you and are using Derek to find you. So what you need to do and what you want to do are two very different things. You may want to find him. But what you need to do is stay here and stay hidden."

"Alright but somebody needs to help him."

"Your dad is doing everything he can to help him Scott."

"I don't trust him."

"I know you don't trust him Scott and neither do I but he gave me his word to protect you and he thinks Derek is the key to protecting you as other than Stiles and your mum he knows you the best."

"So tell me why my dad took him did in the first place."

"As he needs to play the act up for his family or they will realise something is up."

James' point of view:

Derek was tied up on a chair in the centre of the room and was unconscious which wasn't what we wanted as this way he wouldn't be able to hide anything from my dad. As my dad circled him and I was praying for him to fall into consciousness before my dad dug his claws in his neck. Even though we had this toxin on our claws due to what my dad was doing it wouldn't harm him. I could hear Derek's breath picking up which meant he was going to wake up any second and I was hoping it wasn't going to be too late.

Dad slowly walked up behind Derek and extracted his claws and as he dug his claws into his neck, Derek exhaled one large breath and woke up. Derek reached his arm round to try and pull my dad out of his neck but it was no use my dad was by far the superior werewolf here. There was no point in fighting him as he would lose.

"Derek if you move I could kill you."

"Then stop what you're doing."

"No as James over hear said you mentioned a name when you were unconscious so we thought we would do some digging."

"Get out of my mind."

"I am enjoying rummaging through your thoughts, there are a wonderful read."

"Just get out of my head."

"Why are you trying to hide something?"

"No I'm just incredibly uncomfortable."

"Well the more you fight young hale the longer it will take, you're trying to hide something aren't you?"

"No."

"I can see you pushing something to the deepest part of your mind Derek but I will find it."

He wasn't going to be able to do it, my dad was on to him. My dad was going to find Scott and then execute him just because Derek couldn't do one task. Maybe I was wrong maybe he could hide it, all he needed to do was put something else in front of that thought and my dad would believe it was that instead. I could see on my dad's face he had found something interesting in Derek's thought but what was it?

"This is an interesting thought."

"What is?" I asked.

"get him out of here, let him go home I have got what I wanted. Michael get rid of Derek he has done his job."

"You're just letting him go."

"Yes I have got the information I need, so get rid of him."

Michael picked Derek up off the chair and dragged him to the front door before pushing him out of it, although he was very weak he still managed to pick himself up and leave relatively quickly and he was gone before my dad said anything to us. He had obviously seen something that would get Scott into trouble as whom else would Derek have running through his mind?

"Michael would you say the one that fought you was a teenager. I know you don't remember what he looks like but this one was around 5 foot 11?"

"He couldn't have been older than seventeen and yeah he was around my height, why?"

"There is one name going through his mind and he happens to be a teenage boy."

"And what is his name?"

My heart was racing as he was going to get found out there was nothing else I could do to stop this from happening.

"Stiles. Stiles Stilinski."
