About To Be Known [Book 3]

Separating

Notes:

So this chapter is exciting and was so fun to write. I really like writing about what happened to everyone. And I'm very liberal with the powers that I'm giving to this kitsune. I will give a list of powers later in the story. But for now, take what I give and don't take it to heart so well because it's just a jumble of what I feel is in the realm of possibility.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter, and I'll see you the next time I update, whenever that will be ...

Peter POV:

Now that I'm saddled up with Argent, I wanted to get this done as quickly as possible. Not that I was gonna take any risks by going too quickly and risk somehow endangering Stiles in some way or form. But I was at least trying to get this over with as quickly as possible. Already I didn't particularly appreciate that I was paired with him just because Lydia wanted to travel with Klaus. I guess there was really no other option but to pair him up with me.... unfortunately.

The building's layout was pretty standard, a typical empty warehouse with a few boxes and crates scattered around; it was just a massive building with nothing in it. Or at least it seemed like there was nothing there. Just like Klaus said, I could smell Stiles but only faintly. It could be that he was in the other warehouse, and this one is just empty. I had a feeling, though, that I was in the right spot, so I intend to just continue searching anyway. They would probably send us a signal if they found him first. If not, they would find us eventually, hopefully with Stiles in tow. But, as we continue to search this warehouse, it seems like less and less of an option as there was only one floor, and it was empty, devoid of anybody, not even a rat. And considering its clearly dirty state, that was kind of surprising.

I was mainly focusing on my nose and my hearing while Argent was manually checking everything. For a while, it seemed like we probably got the wrong warehouse, that was until Argent opened a door that seemed to lead to a basement, so off we went to the basement.

Oddly enough, though, the basement seems to just never end. I mean, there was a light at the bottom of the staircase, but I feel like we've been walking for quite a while and the light never got any closer. Yet behind me, the door got farther and farther away. I grabbed Argent by the shoulder and stopped him; something was going on.

"Wait, I think we're close. I think we walked into a trap." I said to Argent back, as he still didn't turn around.

"Look behind you!" I yelled as I was trying to get his attention because he wouldn't look at me.

I tried to grab your shoulder harder and just pull him around, but something weird happened. I didn't even use that much strength, but my hand just went through his shoulder, and it was wet. I pulled my hand back quickly, looking for blood, but it was just water.

I looked back up, and Argent had turned around, but he was slowly losing his shape as he slowly turned into water. I have no idea what was going on, and I wasn't really prepared for the water to attack me either. That's why I blame myself for getting knocked unconscious. Who expects water to attack them and suffocate them into unconsciousness.

Not me.

Chris POV:

Finding the staircase to the basement was the only lead we found in the warehouse. I quickly signaled Peter to follow me as we walk down. I took my gun out as I slowly step-by-step headed down.

I got to the end very quickly. It was bright down there like someone had turned on a lightbulb, so it gave me a good instinct that maybe Stiles was down here. I turned around to let Peter know to give Lydia or his other friend a signal that we were maybe on the right track, but when I looked behind me, Peter wasn't there.
