Insanity ~ Teen Wolf/Stiles Stilinski

Chapter 38: Torture...

Stiles' POV

The pain surged through me. I could feel every hit through my veins. Pulsating into every nerve like a lightning bolt. Each hit felt as though it was going to burn through my skin, splitting me in half.

"Again." He demanded, and the tired Kira sighed, looking at me as she held the stick in her hands. She raised it slowly, stepping closer to me.

Blood dripped from my mouth as I lingered from the chains above. My legs were too weak to hold me up, my hands too weak to try and break free. I felt my face bruising, exchanging the pale color for a more dark purple or blue. My throat was sore from the screaming, and my bones felt like they were going to break any second now. My ribs tightened as I watched her take her step closer.

In the blink of an eye, the stick was flung towards my body and the searing agony rushed through my left side. I clamped my eyes shut trying to ignore the pain, but it was too much. So I groaned and breathed heavily. At the same time, the sound of something cracking and breaking echoed through the room, bouncing off the walls. In an instant, I assumed it was my ribs that broke. Probably shattered into a million pieces. But then I heard the sound of wood falling to the ground.

I opened my eyes slowly, trying to catch my breath again. There it was, on the cold ground. The top half of the stick used to torture me rolled around until, it reached the foot of the Nogitsune. He bent over to pick it up, and sighed.

"I guess that's enough." He admitted. I began coughing, spitting out drizzles of blood from my mouth. There was plenty of it. I could taste it in my mouth, and I didn't want to.

I didn't want to feel anything anymore...

Lydia's POV

We were all at Derek's Loft, discussing the next step of our plan.

"Alright, our inside man is in position. What now?" Rhydian asked, eager to get this all over.

"Keep the act up." Scott said. "They're probably still watching us every now and then, so you need to seem like you're actually affected by what happened."

"But that means you need to disappear." Malia pointed out.

"She's right." Ethan agreed. "If they catch you, we're all as good as dead."

"I know a place I can go. Completely off their radar." Scott nodded. "Katia." Insantly, Katia looked to Scott. Her eyes were wide, as if she knew what he was going to say. "I need you to be Alpha of my Pack."

"Scott, I can't..." She sighed in worry. "I can't lead your Pack. I'm not like them."

"Yes, you are!" He held her by the arms, trying to get her confidence back. "You told me yourself. You're a Hybrid from the Family of the Four Alphas. Being a leader is in your blood. You got this, okay?" They looked into each other's eyes and she nodded, still a little uneasy.

"Please, don't." A voice begged in my ear. I turned my head swiftly, looking around for the person. But it was no one. I turned my attention back to the meeting, but everyone's speech seemed slurred and inaudible.

"Don't, please. I- I'm begging you." It echoed louder this time. I turned once again, but nothing. "Please, no more."

"No more of what?" I asked, and an eerie feeling overcame me. The room suddenly became cold, and I was lost in my thoguhts. Listening to this strange voice.

"I'll do anything. Just stop." The voice cracked at the last word, and I heard whimpering, like a poor, defenseless puppy.

"Let me help you." I replied, hoping the voice could hear me.
