The Banshee and the Beta ➼ TEEN WOLF

Chapter 36 - Being Held Hostage

"This was your brilliant idea?" I asked as Stiles just grinned at me. I rolled my eyes at him and then glanced back at the prison van and sighed. They had Jackson locked in there all night, and he was still chained up in there. It was early morning and I was heading to school any moment, but now, I was checking up on there so-called 'amazing' idea. 

I shook my head and placed my hand to my forehead, "you guys are idiots,"

"Hey, Sabrina was in on this too,"

"Exactly. I mean, how are we supposed to keep him in there. You know he's a supernatural being, if he turns, it's not like the van is indestructible," I reminded him. If Scott and Sabrina can break out things like chains and punch through walls, then I'm pretty sure the Kanima can get out of this van.

"Well, we'll deal with that when it comes to it." he reassured me as I just stood there with my arms crossed and staring into space. Last night was a huge debacle, Derek and his pack, finding out Jackson was the Kanima, Danny getting paralyzed. "Hey, you okay?"

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine. I'm just so glad that Lydia wasn't the Kanima." I gave him a reassuring slight smile, I didn't want to even think about what it meant if Lydia was the Kanima. What am I then? And what the hell is going on with me?

"Yeah me too." he smiled back meeting my eyes. I couldn't take my eyes of his, I just stared into them longingly, I'd do anything to just look into them all day. And I just wanted him to hold me. I wanted to ease into his embrace and just breathe out. 

We were suddenly broken out of our eye contact when the side of the van started banging "Stiles! McCall! I'm gonna kill you!" 

"Seems like you're gonna have to start dealing with it now," he rolled his eyes at me as I followed him to the van. Stiles swung the door open and ventured in, I followed, even though I'd probably be late to school if I stayed here any longer. 

"Okay, I bought you some foo-,"

"Let me out now!" Jackson yelled as he tried to come at us. I inched back slightly, he was in chains, he couldn't really do anything to us. 

"You know, I put those pants on you, all right, buddy? One leg at a time. Being all up-close and personal with your junk wasn't exactly a highlight of my day. So don't think this is fun for me either. You know we're actually doing you a favor?"

"This is doing me a favor?" Jackson scoffed, he was really angry, like angry angry, I still don't think he understands what he's doing.

So, I decided to enlighten him, "Yes. You're-you're killing people."

"To death." Stiles pointed out as I narrowed my eyes at him and he went back to no talking, he wasn't really helping the situation.

"And until we can figure out how to stop you, you're gonna stay in here. I'm sorry." see I wasn't really sorry, I like watching Jackson struggle like this. Especially after he broke my sister's heart. 

"Now, you want the ham and cheese, or the turkey club?" he got out the sandwiches and waved them around in his hands.

Jackson didn't seem to pay attention to the food, but I did. I hadn't eaten all morning and I didn't eat last night either. So I was starving, I snatched the ham and cheese from Stiles' hands and started unwrapping it."You actually think my parents won't be looking for me?"

"Uh, well-," Stiles threw him the other sandwich as he got out Jackson's phone, "not if they don't think anything's wrong." he then showed him the text he had sent to Jackson's family, pretending to be him. Stiles smiled and nodded, "Yeah." I had a feeling that it wasn't gonna work.
