Sterek : Unchained

Chapter 3: New Mission

Stiles

I ran so fast into the hospital it felt like a blur. I didn't know what to do. The feeling of anger and worry inside me grows stronger with every minute. I couldn't find Scott or Melissa or Lydia. I started to panic.

I was getting looks from nurses and doctors all over. I couldn't help that I looked crazy considering what just happened.

Suddenly hands were holding my shoulders and Scott was trying to make me focus.

"Stiles! Stiles what happened? What's wrong?!" He asked. I couldn't catch my breath. This panic attack felt different. I felt like I lost something this time, it was my fault.

"They.. he was in the jeep.. they took him. I-I-I couldn't stop them, Scott it's my fault, I don't know what to do, hes- I.." it was difficult for me to answer Scott. My chest felt like it was breaking and everyone around could hear it.

"Okay, okay, stiles? Breathe. What happened?" He held my shoulders tighter.

"They took Derek." I answered.

Scott's face turned dark and determined. Even after our past fights with Derek, Scott saw him as family. The kind of family you barely get along with but it's always nice having them around, and they always have your back no matter what, kind of family?

Melissa and the others were running from down the hall towards us.

"Scott! What's going on? What happened?" Melissa asked. She looked at me put her arms around me trying to help me calm down.

"Derek was taken." He said. Even him saying it out loud hurt me inside. I felt guilty, ashamed, and disappointed.

"Stiles do you know who it was? What did they look like?" Deaton asked.

I was still trying to breathe correctly as this was all so overwhelming.

"No, no I didn't see who it was. They had claws, that's all I know. They grabbed Derek by his throat and dragged him out of the jeep. When I got out, they were both gone. I'm sorry Scott." I whined slightly to Scott and he patted my shoulder.

"Hey, it's okay stiles really. You know it's not your fault, right? Why are you so shaken up?" He asked.

"I-I don't know, it just happened really fast you know?" I shook my head and brushed off Melissa's hands.

"Okay, what do we have now? Have you guys figured out what's going on? Who is this guy? I swear I'm gonna find all the wolfsbane in the entire state and shove it right up his stupid alpha a-"

"Okay Stiles, we got it. Jeez, when did you all of a sudden become pack mom?" Melissa teased.

I shrugged it off and we all headed back outside.

Scott was investigating the jeep, trying to catch any clues possible.
I was still struggling with these new found emotions I have inside me. This was such a bizarre thing. Losing Derek the way I did.. I just felt angry, sad. I felt protective.

While the others were talking and throwing out ideas, I was within myself thinking about this weekend.

Do I like him? I think you do my friend, you've only ever felt like this with Lydia and she's right there and you've barely even talked to her you're so concerned about Derek.

I found myself getting lost in my head. I was thinking about our bickering earlier and how secretly my peripheral vison FULLY took in what it saw in Derek's bedroom today. I think I actually like him. I really like him. This is so wild, I don't even know how to process this. I need to tell Scott.
