Stiles flicked on the light, and discovered he was in a storage room full of cardboard boxes and discarded furniture. He sneezed, as the disturbed layer of thick dust rose and filled his nostrils.
Stiles opened the door a crack, and looked outside. The room had been transformed from the drab basement to a lavish wedding reception. White and yellow streamers and balloons were taped to the wall, the tables each had tall, decorative candles.
Stiles saw the wedding cake in the front of the room, a delicious looking three tiered buttercream cake, covered in tiny, blue flowers. He started to walk past the tables, heading for the stairs. The wedding was going to start in a few minutes.
Stiles paused, looking back at the cake. Those blue flowers, looked suspiciously like wolfsbane. He stepped forward, to get a closer look. Stiles was glad to see that they were, in fact, delphiniums.
"What are you doing?" A voice behind him asked.
Stiles turned around, to see Kate Argent, Allison's aunt.
"Sorry. I was just going up to the wedding, but I saw those blue flowers and – "
"And what? You thought someone was going to poison the guests with wolfsbane?" She asked, taking a step forward.
"Well, yeah. They're delphiniums, though. Luckily." He said, backing up.
"The flowers would have been too obvious. The Hale's would notice right away." She said. "To poison those animals, I would have needed to be a bit more subtle."
"Leave them alone."Stiles said, glaring at her. "They're not animals."
Kate grinned at him. "Oh, that's right. You're a werewolf sympathizer. You're Derek's side bitch."
"I'm his boyfriend." Stiles told her. "Don't be such a jackass."
Kate lashed out, hitting him across the cheek. Stiles stumbled from the blow, and glared up at Kate.
"You Bitch!" Stiles cursed, holding his face. "What the hell was that for?"
Stiles gasped in pain, as Kate grabbed him by the arm, and twisted it behind his back.
"Ow! Ow!" Stiles said, trying to free himself from her grasp.
"Can't have you trying to stop the wedding. Derek's going to marry my niece, and his family is going to give us those millions for her dowry. Do you know how many weapons that can buy us?" She said, pulling him along.
"I'm not here to stop the wedding." Stiles told her. "I'm here as a guest!"
"There is no way I'm letting you up there." Kate hissed in his ear. "I don't want you to ruin the surprise I have planned for the reception."
Stiles twisted around, trying to look at Kate. "What surprise?" He asked, his heart thumping against his ribcage.
"Once Allison marries that dog, we'll have no reason to keep the Hale family alive. I'm going to personally put down each and every one of them."
"But the peace treaty –" Stiles spluttered. She wrenched his arm further.
"My brother, the fool, thinks he can make a deal with those animals. They've had their years of peace. It's time we showed his pack what it really means to be hunted. I've got a specially made box of monkshood bullets, one for each pack member."
"You're sick!" Stiles yelled. "Half his pack are human! You're talking about murdering an entire family, including kids! You psychopathic bitch!" Stiles said. She clasped a hand over his mouth.
"Shhh . . . wouldn't want anyone upstairs hearing your shouts." Kate said.
He got free, and tried to run away. He didn't get far, as she pulled out stun gun and pressed it into his side. Stiles felt his entire body go rigid, and he fell to the ground. Stiles' head cracked on the floor, there was a sharp pain above his eye as he blacked out.
Derek scanned the crowd, looking for Stiles. He spotted Sheriff Stilinski sitting beside Scott and Melissa. Derek ran over to their pew.
"Hey, have you guys seen Stiles?" Derek asked, concerned. "I've been looking all over for him."
Scott shook his head. "He should be here." He said, pulling out his cellphone, and dialled Stiles' number. "It goes straight to voicemail." Scott said, looking worriedly at Derek.
"Stiles dropped me off, and went to park the car." The Sheriff said. "I haven't seen him come in at all."
Derek walked over to his mom and sisters, sitting in the front row.
"Mom, I think something's happened to Stiles." Derek said. "He's not answering his phone, and He should be here."
Talia glanced at her brother Peter, then back at Derek. "Honey, I'm sure he's fine. Maybe he's just late."
"No." He said. "I think Stiles is in trouble. I'm going to go find him." Derek started to walk down the aisle, to the front doors. As soon as Derek started to leave the church, two of the hunters stood up, and put their hands on their guns.
"Where are you going?" One of them asked, watching the groom with a suspicious look.
Talia rushed after Derek, and put a hand on her son's arm.
"Derek, don't leave." She told him. "The wedding is starting. I'll send someone to look for Stiles. Just – stay here. " She said.
"Find him." He said, worried. "Please, mom."
Derek walked back to the front of the church, as the organ music started. The wedding had officially started.
