Fear | Stiles Stilinski

Control

"What you're looking for, is it...bad?" Roman felt nervous, he had a bad feeling in his gut, something wasn't right. Watching Stiles shuffle through paperwork in the basement, he considered how to approach the situation.

"Yeah." Stiles commented offhandedly, he wasn't paying much attention, too focused on the documents.

"I can show you where it is." Roman inhaled deeply before sighing, he could sense it, he knew exactly where the 'bad' thing was, the thing which produced so much fear.

"How do you-? Stiles glanced up confused, quickly jumping to his feet as Roman grabbed his hand and dragged him around the corner hurriedly.

Pointing at a wall with a backwards five on it, Roman clenched his teeth as he fought to remain in control. Stiles, glancing between Roman and the five in shock, going to walk forwards only to be pulled back with a warning growl as Roman shook his head.

"Do you know what is it?" Roman questioned sternly, his playful demeanour gone as something much darker overcame him.

"It means self." Stiles muttered, glancing down at their entwined hands and blushing even more,"can you let go of my h-hand? I need to go see."

"No." Roman huffed, dragging the shocked Stiles to the wall and knocking twice on it. It was hollow.

Pulling his fist back, Roman punched as hard as he could, a massive crater forming in the wall as the wood and plaster fell away in a cloud of dust. Stiles coughed, covering his mouth with his free hand whilst Roman squinted to see what was inside. A body wrapped up like a mummy lay in the crater, a picture and a sword by the decaying body. Stiles gaped when he saw it, his fear rushing back to him. Roman frowned glancing at him, it was the same fear he sensed earlier on the stairs.

"This is him." Stiles crouched, hovering over the body and forcing Roman to crouch with him.

"The nogitsune?" Stiles nodded in reply to Roman who reached into the hole to grab the picture before flinching and backing away quickly, dropping Stiles' hand as he swayed dangerously. This was the source of the fear, and it was so strong. Rubbing his head from the onslaught, Roman leant on Stiles who had jumped up to steady him during his dizzy spell. The contact with his mate keeping the monster at bay, for now.

"Here, sit down." Stiles gently sat him against the wall as he contained to sway, keeping him steady with one hand as he used the other to reach in and grab the picture himself. His eyes widening in disbelief at what he saw.

"I have to get this to Scott." Stiles frowned, looking at the photos closely before his body shook and he fell to the floor.

Growling, Roman jumped up, the monster quickly coming to the surface as he saw his mate in pain. Seeing Oliver stood over Stiles with a stun gun, his control slipped and his form began to jerk and change, his appearance flickering madly before the searing pain of electrocution overtook him and everything went black.

When he next woke, Roman could hear voices shouting and a drilling noise getting closer and closer to him. Then silence.

Opening his eyes, wincing, Roman growled seeing he was tied down with thick straps. Snapping his head up at the sound of movement, Roman froze, staring into Stiles' cold eyes. A frown overtaking his features at the emptiness in his eyes, they were stone cold, screaming of nothingness. The same overwhelming fear flooded through him as Stiles stepped closer, cocking his head and smirking down at Roman.

This was not Stiles.

"Well this is interesting."

Roman snarled as realisation hit him, his voice shaking with rage, "GET OUT OF HIS HEAD."

Void simply smirked and stepped even closer, he was only inches away from Roman, a curious look in his empty eyes as he analysed the creature before him.

"It's been a long time since I met an Eldritch." Void closed the distance between them, humming as he leaned against the table Roman was strapped to, "I wonder what your true form is."

"What?" Roman froze, his eyes widening at the words, wanting desperately to break the restraints and free Stiles.

"Stiles is gone." Void whispered sadistically as Roman shook and snarled at him, black veins crawling over his face and his eyes black holes as he glared.

Void grinned wider, his eyes flashed mischievously before he slowly raised his hand, cupping Roman's cheek harshly as he fought against his restraints. Roman immediately stilled, a groan slipping past his lips as he gasped feeling the fear seep into his veins, Void's hand gained black veins as he transferred fear into Roman, smirking at the result. Void poured centuries worth of fear into him as he grinned, his eyes darkening as Stiles screamed from within his own head.

Roman groaned, his eyes slipping into the back of his head as his body began to uncontrollably shake, the restrains breaking as his form shook. Seeing this, Void paced his other hand on Roman's other cheek, increasing the stream of pure fear.Roman's body jerked unnaturally, his arms flailing to the side as his hair grew and changed, his features mutating into the monster as a giggle slipped out of him. Roman sat up abruptly, forcing Void to step backwards as his shaking grew violent, his eyes burning golden and his skin cracking. Suddenly, he froze before jumping forwards, landing in a crouch ten feet away from the table. His outfit morphed and when he looked up, Roman was gone.
