Midnight (Sterek)

Chapter 3: Kidnapper

Stiles, who still had his head covered, sat quietly on the floor which was where his kidnapper threw him. He'd figured he was in a basement since he'd flew heftily down a few stairs. A few muffled voices sounded from behind him but he couldn't see who as his eyes were covered and his hands were tied up. He stopped and listened to the voices. His heart raced as soon as he realized who they were.

"Erica? Boyd?" He whispered and they both made a noise confirming it was them.

"Let me guess your chained up and connected to an electrical outlet?" Stiles whispered again hoping his kidnappers couldn't hear him.

Again they made a series of muffled noises and Stiles sighed.

"It's okay I'll get you out of here". He told them though he didn't know how being as he was currently tied up at the moment and he didn't have any werewolf strength so he pretty much wasn't going to be able to do much. "I don't know how but I'll make sure you guys are safe, I don't care how I do it". Stiles said as he wrestled with the rope around his wrists.

"Too right you will". A familiar voice came into the air, Stiles heart jumped as he realized who voice it was.

"You?" Stiles gasped.

"Yes me". The voice cackled as the sack was ripped off of Stiles head.

Stiles sat quietly as he watched apprehensively at the old shriveling balding hunter in front of him.

"You do know my dads the sheriff right?" Stiles asked wondering if Gerard had much of any sense? probably not though seeing as his aging was becoming more apparent he thought.

"Oh Stiles I'm not going to hurt you". He said.

"Then let me go". Stiles said, he turned to Erica and Boyd. "And them". He said.

"Oh I will as soon as you tell me what I want to know". Gerard smiled.

"And what's that?" Stiles asked.

"You seem to know where Derek is being as one of my hunters said they saw him leaving your house last night". Gerard said sternly.

"What?" Stiles asked puzzled.

Derek wasn't at his house last night he would know being as he was there all alone, the sheriff was at work, and Scott was well he didn't know where Scott was, but he knew Derek was not at his house.

"Don't play stupid I saw him climb out of your window". The tall brute hunter spat.

"Well you saw wrong!" Stiles told him.

"Don't lie to us Stiles I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want your father to be planning a funeral do you?" Gerard laughed wickedly as he gripped Stiles shoulder.

"Like I said your hunter over there you know the tall lanky brute with no apparent competence over there, saw wrong I was home all alone". Stiles said glaring over at the hunter.

"Well if he wasn't there then you still know where to find him don't you?" Gerard asked as though he was trying to woo Stiles into telling him.

"I don't know any—

Gerard had suddenly lost his temper at Stiles words as he'd punched him in the face, Stiles shook wore off after accepting his new fate of being tortured for answers.

"Ohh your so strong". Stiles teased. "Fight me when I'm tied up that's manly". Stiles said glaring at Gerard.

Gerard cracked his knuckles and threw more blows to Stiles face, chest, and ribs. He even stomped him in his back making him fall face down into the hard cemented floor Boyd and Erica growled and winced as they watched Stiles take blow after blow. They wanted to escape to maul Gerard and his henchmen.

"Untie me and fight me head on". Stiles challenged as he coughed up some of blood, spitting it to the side and then turning to Gerard.

Gerard laughed and strolled over to the chained up wolves.

"I don't see why you help these mutts all they ever do it boss you around, use you for research, and flaunt there werewolf abilities in your face". Gerard said, "I mean what's the point of saving there asses when you could be somewhere far away with Lydia minding your business, free of Jackson's interference of course". He added side eyeing Stiles with his last words.

Stiles hated to admit it but Gerard was right he was constantly being used and had to deal with all the wolves around him taunting him because he was a human.

"I mean look at your best friend he's found people just like him and who's to say he won't get rid of you to go off and fully dedicated himself to the pack? Why haven't Derek offered you the bite as he did these two mutts?" Gerard asked.

Just as he knew it would hit Stiles right in the heart, he watched as Stiles lowered his head in defeat and sigh.

"I'll tell you". Stiles panted. "But first let them go please, they're teenagers they don't deserve any of this". Stiles coughed up more blood.

"What?" Gerard asked.

"You heard me this is between you and Derek". As much as he hated to throw Derek under the bus he was still right. "I mean he's the alpha and he turned a bunch of clueless teenagers who didn't belong in this fight, besides why would you still have them when all you want is Derek?" Stiles asked.

Gerard took what Stiles said into consideration because he gave his henchmen a look and they began unchaining Erica and Boyd.

"No strings attached right?" Stiles asked as he took a sharp breath.

"Strings?" Gerard asked looking at Stiles.

"You know what I mean I may not be a werewolf but I trust them unlike hunters". Stiles said looking at Gerard as if looks could kill. "Besides what I mean is there will be no chasing after them and trying to kill or recapture them okay?" Stiles asked.

"Okay". Gerard agreed as he walked and shook Stiles tied up hand.

And as he agreed Erica and Boyd where let go and all of the henchmen were ordered to stay in sight of Stiles who was now sitting in a comfortable chair.

Stiles waited until he was sure that Erica and Boyd had been gone before he started talking to Gerard, who looked more amped up than kid on a candy binge.

"Before I tell you where he is I wanted to know exactly what is that you want from him?" Stiles inquired tilting his head at Gerard. He wondered what it was about Gerard and him really wanting Derek.

"Oh that's nothing to worry about". Gerard answered before swallowing some odd pills.

"Is it revenge for your daughter?" Stiles asked without feeling a sense of remorse for his dead daughter.

"No". Gerard lied which Stiles could tell even without the werewolf abilities.

"Do you want the bite?" Stiles asked.

"No and don't worry about it". Gerard smiled.

"You want to kill him don't you?" Stiles asked. "I'm sorry I'm just curious". Stiles added seeing the glare on Gerard's face.

"Enough stalling where is Derek?" Gerard asked.

"He's staying at the Hale house it's cloaked with wolfsbane to keep him from being detected". Stiles lied and Gerard gullibly ate it up.

"Now can I go?" Stiles asked as soon as Gerard was done whispering with his foot-faced looking henchmen.

"No not until we know he's there". He said.

"Wait what?!" Stiles breathed. "I told you what you want now let me go!" He demanded.

"No and until I get back with him or proof he's truly there your staying here!" Gerard smiled as he walked up the stairs with five henchmen following after him.
Stiles sighed and slumped back into the chair, this was just so fucking great he thought.
