Whatever It Takes {Teen Wolf X Reader}

43. Riddled

Y/N's Apartment / McCall House

It's the middle of the night, your phone rings and vibrates on the bedside table, awakening you from your slumber.

You groaned, barely opening your eyes, answering the phone without checking the caller ID.

"Hey, Y/N, sorry to wake you. How quickly can you get to my place ?" Scott asked over the line.

"What happened ?" You flicked on your lamp.

"It's Stiles. He doesn't know where he is. He thinks he's been sleep walking or something. Me and Isaac are gonna go look for him. Are you coming ?" Scott explains.

"I'll be there in ten" You got out of bed, shoving on a hoodie and collecting your car keys, Scott hung up on his end of the line.

McCall House

You arrived, unlocking the door with a key Scott had given you, almost bumping directly into Isaac upon entry.

"Hey, Stiles --" Scott answered his phone.

"Did you call him ? Did you call my dad ?" Stiles sounded shaky and uneasy.

"No, just Y/N and Isaac. We're coming to find you. Can you figure out where you are ? Try to find something and tell us where to look" Scott urged him.

"It's a basement ... I think - I think I'm in some kind of basement ..." Stiles tried to look for any location markers, Scott puts the phone on speaker.

"In a house ?" You questioned.

"No, it looks bigger -- like, industrial. I think there's a furnace. But it's cold. It's freezing down here. I gotta turn the - I gotta turn the phone off, Scott. It's going to die" Stiles reads the battery percentage in the corner of the screen.

"Wait, wait, wait ! What else is there ? What do you see ?" Scott pleaded with him not to end the call.

"The phone's dying. I can't talk. I have to go. Please ..." He whispered, you and Scott exchanged a confused glance, why is he whispering.

"Stiles, hey, buddy, I need you to take a deep breathe, okay ? In ... and out. That's it. Just try and give us something, anything that can help us find you ... Why are you whispering?" You consoled him before asking your question.

"Because I think there's someone in here with me ..." He admitted.

Stilinksi House

"How did you know ? Did he call you too ?" You, Scott and Isaac arrived to find Aiden and Lydia already in Stiles's room.

"I heard it" Lydia shrugged.

"Don't ask -- it gets more confusing when you ask" Aiden urged the three of you not to question her further.

"Okay ... What exactly did you hear ?" You closed the door behind the group.

"I heard please, come find me. It was Stiles, I'm sure of it" She took your hand, guiding you to his bed.

"Okay, I believe you, Lyds. It's just so confusing" You examined the web of red strings attached to a hook on the bed.

"Not as confusing as this. He uses red for unsolved cases ..." Lydia moved out of the way so everyone could see it.

"Maybe he thinks he's part of an unsolved case ?" Aiden suggested.

"Or is an unsolved case ?" Isaac agreed.

"Hold on -- is he still out there ? You don't know where he is ?" Lydia locked eyes with Scott across the room.

"He said that he was in an industrial basement somewhere" Scott gave her all the information he had.
