Stiles could hear Nicholas on the phone with whom he figured was Peter. By the way Nicholas was getting more and more upset things were not going his way. He had tried earlier to reason with Nicholas try to be his friend. Like he dad always taught him if he were ever to be taken. But Nicholas just ignored him and left the room. Now he was angry and Stiles knew that he would be the one that would suffer from that anger.
"God why can't anything work right?" Nicholas mumbled to himself. "Let's go Stiles we got some were to be." Nicholas unchained Stiles from the wall but kept them on him. He started dragging him behind him when he wouldn't walk. "You may want to use your legs or I can knock you out again."
"No, no. I will walk. Just give me a sec. I am trying to get feeling back in my arms." Stiles tried rubbing his shoulder.
"You don't need your arms to walk." Nicholas jerked on the chain.
"Why are we leaving? Were are we going? Can you tell me anything? Like why you are doing this. I never meant to hurt you. What do you want from me?" Stiles stopped walking and jerked the chain in Nicholas' grasp. Nicholas turned around on him and roared in his face. Stiles tried not to flinch back but he failed.
"Shut up. We have to go cause Peter ruined the plan and sent Derek here early so now we have to move before he gets here." They both turned when they heard a load howl not far away from where they were. "Well looks like he didn't waste any time getting here. Looks like I will have to do this myself." Nicholas dragged Stiles back into the room and chained him back to the wall. Nicholas then pulled out the knife from earlier and brought it up to Stiles' throat. Stiles tried not to panic but with a knife held to his throat it was impossible not too. Nicholas came and buried his face right in Stiles' neck and breathed in. "Oh how I love the smell of fear. Don't worry Stiles, I will be back for you." And then Nicholas was gone and Stiles was left to worry about who would be the one to come for him.
Derek stopped short of the cellar doors and tried to see if he could hear anything. All that greeted him was silence. He threw open the door and was making his way in when Scott pulled him back.
"Let me go!" Derek pulled his arm from Scott's grasp.
"What are you going to do? Just run in there and pray we get out alive, with Stiles?"
"Stiles is in there Scott. Don't you get that? Your best friend! My mate! ?You bet your ass I am going in there and getting him out." Derek threw open the cellar doors and took off.
"Great we are so gonna die!" Scott mumbled under his breath and took off after Derek.
Derek could smell the faintest hint of Stiles' blood and that made Derek move faster. He threw open the door and saw Stiles chained to the wall. He stalked forward but before he could reach him he was thrown back into the wall. Nicholas was on him in a flash. He lashed out his claws to strike the beta but he moved out of the way and snapped at Derek's throat. Before he could bite him Scott came and threw Nicholas off of Derek. Derek got up and made his way to Stiles. He reached up to undo the chains but pulled back when they burned him.
"Yea I was trying to tell you not to touch them. They are covered in wolfs bane. You need to get me the key so I can unlock them." Stiles said.
"Were is the key?"
"Around his neck." Derek stomped over to Nicholas and pushed him up to the wall and pushed his head back. Bearing his throat, it would only take one bite and tear and the beta would be dead. But that's not what he was worried about. He needed to get Stiles out of here. He grabbed the key and walked back over to Stiles.
"Can we please get out of here? I don't know how long until Peter shows back up. Nicholas was on the phone with him before you showed up." Stiles was rubbing his wrist.
"Scott get him out of here." Derek ordered his beta.
"I am not leaving without you Derek." Stiles went up to Derek and threw his arms around him.
"I will be right behind you. Now go." Scott and Stiles ran out of the door. Derek walked over to were Nicholas was propped up against the wall. "Now I would love to kill you but you are first going to deliver a message to Peter for me. I am not going to run anymore. Meet me at the cliff tonight." With that Derek turned and made his way to the door.
"You won't be able to stop him Derek." Nicholas chuckled out. Derek didn't satisfy him with an answer and just left the room.
Scott was running ahead of Stiles making sure there wasn't anyone waiting for them outside. When he made it to the doors he stopped to wait for Stiles to catch up with him. They both stopped outside of the doorway waiting for Derek. He came barreling out of the door a few moments later.
"Scott I want you to get Stiles back to the apartment. Wait for me there. I have to go finish this once and for all."
"What? No Derek you are going to do this on you own." Stiles yelled at him.
"Stiles I don't have time for this. You need to get some were safe. I have to finish this before he comes back again." Derek pushed Stiles back.
"And what about me Derek? Your just gonna run off and do something stupid. Probably get yourself killed and what, I am suppose to sit back and let you do that? Are you stupid!" Stiles was getting mad now. His fist were clenched and his face was red.
"Stiles I won't be able to concentrate if I don't know you are safe." Stiles walked off angry at Derek and himself. He shouldn't have put anyone in this situation. He should have just stayed away, then none of this would be happening. Now he had to just sit and wait to find out what would happen.
Peter was lurking in the shadows. He watched as Scott dragged Stiles away and saw how upset Derek was watching him leave. He had known that Nicholas was never going to be able to stop Derek but that was never his plan. This is what he wanted. Derek, alone. And all his. He took off towards the cliff Derek wanted to meet at and waited for his prey to show up. Yup everything was going as planned.
Stiles stormed into the apartment and slammed right into Danny and Jackson as they were on their way out.
"Whoa your back. Thank god." Jackson grabbed Stiles.
"Get off me Jackson. Where were you guys headed to?" Stiles questioned them.
"Umm we were going to see if we could do anything to help you. But now you are here. Wait were is Derek?" Danny asked.
"That asshole thought he had to save the day. Again." Stiles mumbled.
"Were did he go? We have to help him." Danny said.
"Trust me I tried. He doesn't want our help. He thinks he can do everything on his own."
"You can't just send him on his own. He needs us. We cannot let Peter hurt him." Danny was yelling at this point. Not understanding why no one was listening an agreeing with him. "Jackson you can't just sit by and let him get hurt. After everything he has done for you, for us."
"Danny what do you want me to do? He is the alpha. He is the strongest of us all. We can't stop Peter. If Derek wants to do it alone then we have to let him do it on his own."
"You are all stupid and selfish. If you aren't going to help him then I will." Danny stormed out of the apartment and took off.
"Great now we have to go help. Some one has to stay here with Bryce. Stiles..." Jackson trailed off.
"Oh no! You are not leaving me with that child. He hates me. He will probably kill me for just breathing."
"Oh get over it Stiles. He is just a child. He is not going to bite you. And he doesn't hate you." Lydia scuffed.
"Psh, that's what you think. Every time he sees me he screams like I am hurting him. He does not like me and I am not staying behind to watch him."
"Well you are the only other human so sorry you are stuck." Lydia quipped.
"What? What about Allison. She is human!" Stiles yelled.
"Yeah but Allison knows how to use a bow and can fight. What can you do? Besides make stupid jokes." Lydia commented.
"My jokes are not stupid!" Stiles stuck out his tongue at Lydia.
"Whatever. Let's go everyone." Lydia herded everyone out of the house.
"Scott man you can't leave me here!" Stiles yelled to his friend.
"Sorry buddy. Gotta make sure everyone makes it out alive. You will be fine. Just don't let him eat any candy and you should be alright."
"Great this is so going to be disastrous." Stiles said to the closed door. He kicked at the carpet and tried to figure out a way to make this work.
Derek came to the cliff and could smell Peter was already there. He didn't know how he was going to handle him but he knew he had to put a stop to him before anything worse happened. Having both Bryce and Stiles taken had made Derek see red. He wasn't going to stop until either him or Peter was dead. At least he knew they were alone, he couldn't smell anyone around.
"Oh dear nephew. I must say you have put up such a big fight for something that isn't even yours."
"Don't talk about things you do not know. Uncle." Derek sneered.
"But I do know. You see Stiles is not very quite when he is in bed. I heard everything, smelt everything when he and Nicholas were together. Oh and they were so dirty." Peter chuckled. Derek ran to his uncle and slammed him into a near by tree.
"You don't know what you are talking about." Derek snapped at his uncle. So close to his throat, just one more inch and he could end it all.
"Derek?" Derek pulled away from his uncle and turned to see his pack coming out of the woods.
"What the hell are you all doing here? Scott I told you to wait for me at home. Were's Stiles?" Derek scanned and couldn't find him anywhere.
"His back at the apartment." Scott said.
"Oh, how easy you all are. What a stupid pack you have nephew. Well I guess I am off." Peter slinked off into the woods.
"What was that about?" Scott asked.
"How could you leave Stiles alone at home. Omg I am going to kill you all." Derek took of like a bat out of hell. The pack just stood there with looks of confusion written all over their faces.
"OMG they are going after them!" Lydia finally put the pieces together.
"What are you talking about?" Scott looked even more confused.
"Stiles and Bryce. That's why Peter was alone. We were afraid him and his pack would attack Derek since he was alone but no. He sent them to Stiles. Some how knowing we would come after Derek. We have to stop them."
Stiles was sitting in the hallway outside of Bryce's room. Not trusting to go in but keeping an ear out to make sure the kid didn't do anything stupid. He heard the front door open and went out to see which member of the pack came back.
"Hello Stiles." Erica purred.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
"Oh Stiles. Don't you know, Peter is never going to let you go. Especially not that easily " Erica stalked closer to Stiles. Stiles backed up but ran into a body behind him. He didn't have to turn around to know that it was Boyd he ran into.
"Why are you here. Are you going to take me again Haven't you learned anything yet. Derek will find me and he will kill me."
"We are not here to take you again. We are here to let Derek know he can't stop us." Boyd pulled his arms behind his back and Erica struck forward. She slashed her claws across Stiles' stomach and Stiles crumpled to the floor. There was so much blood. He could hear Bryce in the background screaming. He turned and saw Issac holding the boy and yelling at Erica.
"This was not the plan Erica. You were not suppose to hurt him." Issac screamed.
"Yea well he is in my way." Erica tossed her hair over her shoulder and looked down at Stiles. Stiles tried reaching out to Bryce. Tried to pull him from Issac's grasp but his hand would not lift off the ground. His vision was going blurry, then he blacked out.
Derek was the first to storm in the apartment and nearly lost it when he saw Stiles laying on the ground with a pool of blood under him. He saw Bryce laying on the ground screaming. There was no one else around. He rushed over to Stiles and picked him up.
"Stay with me Stiles." Derek kept yelling to Stiles. Bryce kept trying to get closer to Derek and Stiles.
"Daddy, 'Iles. Daddy save "Iles." Bryce was sobbing.
"I will Bryce." Derek sat with Stiles in his lap rocking back and forth trying to hold the tears back.
