A Broken Home | Derek Hale

Chapter 23

Derek Pov

She left for Kansas yesterday, which makes me happy. It's good for her to step outside of this town and take a breath again. Of course I'd prefer her to stay but that's selfish and she deserves the best. I'm home alone now since Peter is out of town and won't return until tomorrow. Things went back to "normal" for the time being.

It's making me feel suspicious but as long as my friends and girlfriend is safe, it's okay. I'm just worried something bad is going to happen when we least expect it. If something does happen I'm hoping it's before she comes home. That way I know she's safe and away from this town. As if on cue my phone starts ringing from inside my pocket. A sigh left my mouth as I answered immediately after seeing it's Scott.

He told me that someone kidnapped Stiles and he has no idea where they went. "Really? Stiles?" I asked. I could practically feel the glare on his face and smirked to myself. "Okay calm down. I'll be over in ten."

With that I hung up and left to help find this dork. Of course out of everyone it was Stiles who got kidnapped. The thought made me smirk as I got into my car and left. Upon arriving Scott told me he had a lead and so we left. Apparently it's an alpha that took him but we don't know what he wants.

This person knew that taking Stiles would get to us, especially Scott so this might be someone we know. The only question is, who? When arriving at his house he told me that Stiles' dad has a lead. There's this abandoned place not too far from his house where Scott and Stiles used to play. I'm not totally sure he'll be there but it's worth a shot.

As soon as I parked the car Scott rushed inside the old building as I rushed behind him. Before he could get inside I grabbed his arm and turned him to face me. "Relax, we can't just go in there guns blazing." I told him. He frowned.

"We don't have guns."

"You get my point. We don't know who these people are or what they're capable of. Let's be stealthy about this." I sighed. He nodded and we snuck our way in the back. No one is in sight so we kept moving until hearing a cry and stopped. It sounded a lot like Stiles. The two of us shared worried glances then made our way into some dark room. It's lit up by one light in the middle of the room.

"Derek look," Scott tapped my arm and I looked to see Stiles tied up as a man, but not just any man, he's a werewolf, tortures him. I can smell him from here, which means he can most likely smell Scott and I. "We need to-" I started but stopped when I felt a pain in my chest. Looking down I saw someone shot an arrow through my chest.

"I'm gonna kill Stiles." I groaned before falling to the ground. Scott fought off one of the men only to be captured by another. We were tied up next to Stiles who gave us weird looks. "How did you end up here?" He asked.

"Trying to save your ass," I glared and he looked down. We've got to find a way out of here fast. "Who are you anyway?" I asked the man that entered the room. He smirked while looking at the three of us.

"I'm an old friend of Peters." He stated and I frowned trying to see if I recognize him but didn't. "See when I heard Peter was out of town I thought he would rush back after hearing I kidnapped his nephew. But I knew it wouldn't be easy getting Derek so instead I took your friend here knowing you'd come to his rescue."

Once this is over Peter is going to get an earful and maybe a few punches to the face. It really depends on how I'm feeling or if I'm still alive after this. This is another reason I'm so happy Amelia is gone because if she were here I'd be doing nothing but worrying about her. Suddenly I heard someone's heart beating rapidly and thought it was Stiles but realized it's our captures heart.

"You're scared," I stated. "Why?"

He gave me a glare and started to say something only for Scott to interrupt him. "Your heart is going crazy."

"I know people in Kansas so I suggest you keep your mouth shut." He spat in my face. My heart dropped and a glare made it's way onto my face. I'll murder him if he hurts her. How does he even know where she is or that I've got a girlfriend?

"Did you just threaten my girlfriend?" I glared. He smirked.

"Yes and if-" he started but stopped as his head got torn off his body. There stood Peter looking at us with a smirk on his face. "You guys look terrible." He smiled.

"Fuck off." I rolled my eyes. He only laughed while freeing the three of us. Once getting free I punched him in the face like I said I would. "What was that for?" He asked as he held his jaw.

"For this mess and him threatening to kill my girlfriend!" I yelled. "Now I'm going home to shower and forget this day ever happened."

Later that night Amelia FaceTimed me and asked how my day was. I actually lied to her and said it was boring. This isn't something she needs to worry about right now. I'll tell her when she gets home but for right now she deserves to be happy. This day is something I'm ready to forget.
