Isaac's POV

This was ridiculous. Why was this even a discussion we were having?!

"You guys can't actually be considering this. Erica, you're one of the closest people to him, and you're actually entertaining the idea of Gaylor killing him?"

She looked down ashamed, and didn't even try in the slightest way to defend herself against the accusation.

Whatever had went down with me and Stiles before, I don't want him dead, even if I said I did before. Something had happened to me, and I don't know what it was, but it made me hate him, and only him.

Something had made me snap out of it and come to my senses, and thank God I did, or else I probably would've killed him by now.

"No one's trying to kill anyone Isaac, we're just trying to make sure that he doesn't kill anyone." Allison spoke up while looking down at her crossed arms.

She didn't even have the decency to look at me as she said this which made me know for a fact that she knew that she was in the wrong.

"You're all just a bunch of cowards. You're listening to Gaylor and following him blindly because he's telling you that he's right. Well, if Stiles came in here right now and begged for your help what would you do?"

I stared at both of them intensely as I waited for an answer but neither of them seemed intent on giving me one.

Finally a voice spoke up, but it wasn't the one I was expecting to do so.

"We would take him into custody here, and do our best to free him from this sorcery."

"First of all, I wasn't asking you. You're not part of this conversation. Second of all, free him from this sorcery?! You can't free him from the sorcery because he is the sorcery! You'd be tearing apart his genetic makeup in hopes that it might not kill him!"

The girls looked confused, but they had no reason to be. There was two choices to be picked from here.

One, they stay here and are against the rest of the team, if you can even call us a team anymore.

Or two, they help me find Stiles and put an end to whatever's happening to him without violence or captivity.

They didn't look too keen to make a choice.

"You know what, screw you, screw all of you. I'm done with this, and I'm done following the orders of a man that wants one of my best friends dead."

My finger hovered over the button that I could teleport out with for a second so I could look up at my friends, or whatever's left of them, and really take in the decision that they made.

"Isaac don't leave, please. We'll figure something out. Just give us more time." Erica begged as Allison just stood there speechless at the situation.

"If you leave Mr Lahey," Gaylor started,"then you have joined the fight against this team, and we will show no mercy in taking you down with every single other traitor."

That solidified my opinion of him, and the girls. They decided to stay behind so they were now apparently against me.

"You know what," I paused for a minute to let the suspense of the moment sink in before looking up and grinning.

"Bring it."

With that, I teleported out in a red streak into the middle of time's square.
.....

Wow, it's almost impossible to find anything here, how do people even manage going to work on a daily basis?

"Excuse me sir," I started to ask a random person walking past but he just flipped me off and muttered something that should never been said to another human being before walking on ahead.

He must've just been having a bad day. Not everyone's like that.

"Excuse me Mrs.." she flipped me off too.

I just really must not be good at talking to new people apparently.

Spending half your childhood in a freezer will do that to you.

God, right now I can just head Stiles in my head saying,"really, still milking that?"

Yes I am!

Wait, he's not even here and I'm yelling at him. I must look like an absolute idiot in the middle of the street.

Maybe one of these people will be nice enough to help me. They can't all be mean.

"Excuse me. Do you need help?" I turned around to see a girl standing behind me.

Oh wait a second! This was Stiles's girlfriend.

"Wait I know you! Sophia right?" She nodded, but looked confused as to how I knew that.

"You're Stiles's girlfriend. I'm Isaac. One of his friends."

We shook hands even though I was in kind of a hurry to get to wherever Stiles could be.

"Back to the do I need help thing. Yes I do. This may sound super weird, but do you know of any like abandoned places that people may hide if they don't want to be found. I'm in this intense hide and seek game with Allison and she always hides in those places."

The lie was probably the most convincing lie that I have ever told when it comes to lying. Well obviously it comes to lying.

"Well first I'd say that you shouldn't play hide and seek outside your apartment in New York, and second there's a couple of warehouses by the park. They haven't been used in years. It's the one by the river." She pointed down towards the direction the park would be in.

I thanked her for the helpful tip and went to where I thought she was pointing to.

.....

After awhile I did find it. But there were like three warehouses here, and there's no guarantee that they're in any of them.

Here goes nothing.

I walked into the first one and before I could even begin to take in the environment or check anything out someone was attacking me from behind.

They turned me around and I saw who it was. The shock on their face was enough to see that they didn't think I was coming.

"Isaac?"
