Stiles' P.o.v

The sky was darkening fast, it had already started pouring. Well, why would I expect any different for Beacon Hills? It just meant that I needed to hurry up and get home. I didn't want to speed though, my dad has enough to be pissed at me for and I don't want to add a speeding ticket to that. I pulled up the driveway and turned my jeep off. I just sat there for a second, just thinking I guess.

Scott was off with Derek, probably helping him train his new pack. Allison was going against Scott and Derek, mostly Derek though. Lydia was practically falling apart. She's not talking to anyone and She's still worried sick about Jackson. Jackson turned into a psycho lizard that kills people and is being controlled by the worst man alive. Gerard had gained control of him and from what I heard he was looking for Derek. For god knows what reason.

I finally convinced myself to get out of the car. My dad was home, I could see the lights on inside of the house. I hurried up to the door, trying to get the least wet I could get. When I got to the door I pulled my key out and started to put it in the lock, but the door just swung open. I stuffed the keys in my pocket and paused before I stepped inside.

It was quiet, too quiet. I figured my dad fell asleep on the couch or something. I turned and quietly shut the door. I slung my book bag further up on my shoulder before stepping up the steps. I didn't dare call for my father, he didn't get much sleep in the last week because of all the killings. According to him, he probably figured it was some animal or Derek.

When I reached the top of the stairs I stopped and listened. Still it was quiet so I continued down the short hallway. I sighed and opened my door slowly. I walked in and clicked the light on. I froze, fear taking over my body. I dropped my book bag and it hit the floor with a thud. Straight across from me stood Gerard, smiling st me. Beside him the Kanima was crouched on the floor a hiss escaping through its scaly lips. Its tail swung up and wrapped around my fathers throat.

My father's face was lined with fear and he was pulling at the scaly tail that lifted him off the ground. His breathing was heavy. He wasn't choking, not yet. The word yet was close to becoming untrue and that killed me inside. I felt helpless, just standing there wide eyed.

A dark menacing laugh erupted from Gerard's chest. "Well, hello Stiles I guess this is as dramatic as my entrance is going to be tonight" He smiled. His gaze turned to look at my father "I wont hurt him, I just need you to come with me" He stated and stepped towards me. He looked back at me.

My father squirmed to get out "Stiles.. Don't.. Do... It" He choked out.

Gerard glared over at my father. In an instant the kanima's tail tightened around my father's neck and he started coughing.

"alright...I'll go with you" I basically yelled.

The kanima released my father and his feet landed squarely on the floor.

"Take care of that Jackson" Gerard stated, referring to my father.

Jackson sliced the back of my father's neck with one quick slash. He then crouched and crawled closer to Gerard.

My father collapsed on the floor completely paralyzed.

I ran up to him and crouched beside him. "I'm sorry dad...I I had to" I mumbled while supporting his neck.

Gerard turned toward me "Stiles" He ordered.

I scrambled to my feet and followed him out of the window. I couldn't let anything happen to my father, even if that meant risking my life.

When we were on flat ground Gerard turned towards me "try anything smart and I'll get Jackson to rip your throat out" He warned before shoving me ahead.
