forty two. the captured couple

THE WOLVES WERE ON THEIR WAY BACK TO BEACON HILLS the following morning. Dining with Peter was, surprisingly, not as bad as the Hale's expected it to be. Even though he smelt like he'd been rotting in a dumpster for a while; which he might've been,

But Peter lived to his promise of paying for dinner and then ran off back to his apartment or wherever he ended up at the end of the night. The three werewolves got back to their hotel room and fell asleep after a maximum of an hour from the long day they had and the delicious food they had had.

The Hale's awoke the next morning from the bright, glistening sunrise beaming through their hotel room window. Paige was probably the most tired considering she was hungover which consisted of a splitting headache and a sensitivity to light from all the wine she drank; this also applied for Selina who had also been drinking.

The didn't bother with room service for lunch, they instead when for McDonald's since it was a few dollars cheaper and it was what the two hungover girls were wanting. The family didn't check out the hotel and drive home until dawn, they would've stayed longer but Selina wanted to make it back in time to cheer Liam on at the lacrosse game since they were playing again Devenport Prep again; his old school.

The journey back to the loft seemed to have been way quick than the trip into downtown which was stereotypical when it came to road trips going somewhere else. Selina's hangover started to go away when Derek and Paige dropped her off at the lacrosse field just as the game started. However, the young girl didn't see Scott or Kira on the field.

At first it was suspicious and left an uneasy feeling in her stomach, but when Stiles told her they might be running late, her queasy feeling was relieved. She thought something may have happened to them the night before which resulted in them not turning up to the game..

On the way back to the loft, Derek and Paige reminiscent about how fun the night before was, even if it included the presence of the psychotic Uncle Peter. The even brainstormed a few ideas for their wedding, even though they were ideas that wouldn't stick, they couldn't help but start planning a day they or the rest of the pack wouldn't forget.

The couple arrived back at the loft with a sense that something wrong, growing larger as Derek and Paige descended up each flight of stairs nearer to the sliding door of the loft. And when they finally reached the top, they discovered a sighting they weren't expecting to see; especially in their own home.

The wall sized window was severely smashed which let in a chilling breeze that gave anyone who stepped inside goosebumps, the furniture was knocked over and broken with scattered planks of wood laying the floor with broken glass from the numerous light bulbs that hung from the ceilings by long strings.

And when the stench of a certain enemy filled their senses, they knew right away it was Kate and her Berserkers. While the woman looked around at the mess that the Bitch-Jaguar had caused in their home, Paige couldn't help but feel a heavy weight of guilt being pressed on her shoulders; she was the one who gave Scott permission to use the loft for his date in the first place.

Despite the fact she was wearing sneakers, the werewolf carefully stepped around the floor, avoiding the shards of broken glass with a heart broken expression on her face. "Why would Kate want to break in our house?"Derek asked confused, looking carefully behind the blue couch. "Was she looking for something?Maybe me?"

Paige continued to stay silent, still staring at the sharp floor. "I'll go see if she took anything from upstairs"The Hale decided as he made his way over to the spiral staircase until Paige stopped him before his foot reached the first step. "She took Scott and Kira,"She confessed which made Derek stop and turn round, "it's my fault"

"Why would this be your fault?"Derek questioned oddly, curling his eyebrows as he walked over to his fiance. "Scott wanted to use the loft last night to have a date with Kira, he asked me when you went to help Selina with the pancakes and I said yes"Paige explained glumly, now looking at Derek in the eye as tear appeared. "I should've told you, I didn't know why I didn't, but I should've and now this happened"

"Paige, don't blame yourself for this"Derek said in a soft tone, cupping her cheeks. "You, me or anyone else could've known that Kate was going to do this. If you did tell me, I wouldn't have really cared about it, love is love I guess and if Scott wanted to do something romantic for Kira then sure, whatever"

The woman's lips curved into a very small but recognizable smile and Derek gave her a gentle kiss to her forehead. "It just reminded me of when I came home that day to see you missing"Paige confessed, gazing into his green-hazel eyes. "The house a mess, Kate being the culprit and the people missing"

"We'll find them"Derek said nodding his head, now with a look on his face that made it seem like he just zoned out or if he realized something; Paige couldn't really tell. The werewolf nodded back to the Hale when he wiped the tiny tear hanging on the edge of her eye with his thumb before it could escape and trail down her cheek.

It was only 10-15 minutes after Paige's confession before Stiles, his Dad and Selina walked into the loft looking for Scott and Kira. They entered with rushed footsteps when they slowed down after seeing the concerning mess which left then stunned. "What the hell happened?"Stiles questioned

"It was supposed to be a date"Derek answered. "They were both here?"Selina asked surprised, her pupils widened and her eyebrows raised. "And they're both gone"Paige concluded which made Selina let out a shakily breath. Suddenly, Stiles phone started to buzz, causing him to pull it out of his trouser pocket and answer the call.

"Hey"He said to Lydia on the other side. "Scott's been taken"She informed. "Scott and Kira,"Stiles specified, "we just don't know where"

"Mexico. And if you wanna save his life, that's where your going too"
