22. Hostage Situation

We all stood there shocked, watching as Derek fell to the floor paralyzed. Well, so much for Derek saving us, I guess. Stiles reached for my hand, bringing me closer to him as Scott moved closer to the two of us. We all watched as Matt crouched down next to Derek, observing him. 

Derek glared up, staring back at Matt. "This is who's controlling him? This kid?"

"Well, not everyone is lucky enough to be a big bad werewolf." Matt commented, making us all look around at each other confused. How the hell is Matt not only controlling Jackson but how the hell did he know about Derek , about all of us at this point it seems? "Oh, yeah, that's right. I've learned quite a few things as of late. Werewolves, Hunters, Kanimas. It's like a freaking Halloween party ever full moon." Matt laughed before turning to Stiles and me. "Except for you, Stiles. What do you turn into?" Matt questioned Stiles. 

"Abominable snowman. But it's more of a wintertime thing, you know, seasonal." Stiles sassed, laughing at his own comment. Go ahead, it sure would be Stiles making jokes as we're all held together at gun point. 

Matt had this annoyed look on his face as he nodded towards Jackson. Next thing we knew, Jackson lifted his claw and scratched Stiles on the back of the neck. "You bitch." Stiles gasped, cursing at Matt as he fell to the floor on top of Derek, paralyzed. 

"Get him off of me." Derek groaned. 

"Oh, I don't know, Derek. I think you two make a pretty good pair." Matt laughed, crouching down next to them. "It must kind of suck though, to have all that power taken away from you with just a little cut to the back of the neck. I bet you're not use to feeling this helpless." Matt stared Derek down, not even looking frightened at the least. It's only cause Derek's paralyzed because otherwise, Matt would be shitting his pants if he threatened Derek while Derek could still move. 

Derek let out a dry, exaggerated laugh. "Still got some teeth. Why won't you come a little closer, huh? We'll see how helpless I am." 

"Yeah, bitch.." Stiles mumbled, managing to make me laugh just a bit even in a die or don't die situation like this one. 

Matt looked like he was about to say something but stopped when we all turned our heads towards the window as another car could be heard approaching. The light shined in, showing us that someone else had just gotten here. Matt had a satisfied look on his face, god, I just wanted to punch him in the face. "Is that your mom, McCall?" Matt laughed towards Scott. "Do what I tell you to and I won't hurt her. I won't even let Jackson near her." Matt told Scott before he turned his stares towards me. 

I felt my heart stop beating as he pointed the gun towards Stiles. "And as for you, Sara..You kind of broke my heart so..I think it's only fair I break your's. Unless you do what I say, Stiles can live till graduation." 

I let out a sharp breath, quickly nodding my head. I'd do anything Matt asked me to if it meant keeping Stiles alive. I glanced towards Stiles, tears filling my eyes as I tried my best to be brave. But I was shitting my pants right now, I didn't want to die and I didn't want anyone else to die. I opened my mouth to agree to Matt's terms but Stiles spoke up first.

 "Whatever you do, don't trust him!" Stiles yelled, making Matt go over to him. Matt picked Stiles up by the shirt, turning him around and putting his foot on Stiles throat. 

"This work better for you?" Matt asked. 

"Leave him alone!" I yelled at Matt, trying to move to get him off of Stiles but Jackson grabbed me by the throat, cutting off my air supply. I gasped, struggling to breath as Scott tried getting to me but Matt pointed the gun at him to keep him back.
