Stiles' eyes fluttered open as he looked around. He found himself bound to a chair. "Wha?" He voiced.m trying to break free.

"If you end up breaking out of that, I'm either gonna be highly impressed that you were able to do so or annoyed that you did. One of the two." A man stated.

Stiles lifted his head to see Klaus sitting in a chair across from him with his legs crossed.

He uncrossed them and got to his feet walking over to the teen.

"Are you going to kill me?" Stiles questioned in a small voice as tears filled his eyes.

"If your friends don't bring me what I want...yes." Klaus answered leaning down in front of the boy.

The boy's lips quivered as his breath was shaky. He lowered his head fighting back the urge to cry out.

"You'd be doing me a favor." Stiles muttered to himself.

"And why's that? You think so low of yourself that you wish to die?" Klaus asked as he walked around him.

"No...I just...it doesn't matter." Stiles whispered.

Klaus looked at the teen with furrowed brows.

He wishes to die. Why? What would make him want to end his life so badly? Klaus thought to himself.

Then he remembered the dreams that he witnessed in Stiles' mind. The dreams that were indistinguishable from reality.

The night terrors that haunted the poor boy that had him screaming himself awake just to put a temporary pause to the endless cycle.

Only for the cycle to continue again at night.

He was damaged beyond repair...his mind and soul were broken.

His happy-go-lucky spirit had been shattered by his demons.

He had given up hope a long time ago.

He just wanted the nightmares to stop.

He wanted the endless voices to finally go silent.

Klaus found himself sympathizing for the poor kid.

"Oh bloody..." Klaus muttered to himself under his breath lower enough to where only he could hear it.

How could bring himself to kill the boy now knowing he wanted to die?

Where's the fun in killing someone who wishes for their end?

Klaus stood in front of Stiles and lifted his head to look at him.

"You will overcome your demons, Stiles. However, you are a liability...a bargaining chip actually." Klaus stated.

"I don't want to kill you. But...I will do what I must...if your friends don't do as they're told." Klaus explained as the hazel eyes looked into his blue ones.

Klaus looked away looking at the clock tick away. Stefan had 5 minutes and 37 seconds left to retrieve Elijah and bring him to Klaus.

Klaus looked away from the clock at the bound teenage boy. He knelt down and looked into the eyes of the boy.

"I want you do to do something if you survive this...there are men coming to town. Hunters. Sam and Dean Winchester. Brothers. They are after someone who killed a friend of theirs," Klaus stated.

"They will arrive the day of your first football game. If you survive tonight...if...I will need you to do something for me." Klaus voiced.

Stiles' body relaxed into the wooden chair as he was overwhelmed by a power. He listened to every commanding word of the man.

Clung to every syllable. As if he were God, himself, commanding him from the heavens above.

There was a knock at the door. Klaus stood up and looked at the time.

Barely over 2 minutes left.

There was still time to save him.

Klaus opened the door to reveal Elena alone with Elijah's awakened and weak body in her arms.

"Where the hell is Stiles?!" She spat.
