Ever wake up to find yourself in a completely different place than when you fell asleep?

Like when you were younger and you'd fall asleep on the couch and you'd wake in bed?

Well Sweet Pea had that happen many many times before. But it wasn't good memories or good in general.

No he wouldn't fall asleep and magically wake in bed but in reality he would be knocked out and wake up to an unpleasant face in an abandoned building.

Sadly for him, it has become a natural occurrence.

"Why the hell should I trust you?"

Sweet Pea asked as he looked to the Alpha.

"Because if it wasn't for me, you'd be in custody with the FBI." Sweet Pea scoffs rolling his eyes.

"Yeah. Not my first time running into the feds." His thoughts running back to the first time he ran into them. Shaking the memory away Sweet Pea looks around the empty building. It seemed to be an old bank.

"You've ran into the FBI?" The Alpha questions as he looked to the kid. He didn't look like he was even old enough to drink --let alone run into government agents. But guessing from the lingering scent of alcohol and cigarette smoke that came with the boy, he didn't care about rules or authority.

"You don't know Riverdale." Sweet Pea mumbles as he kept his guard up in front of the older man.

Emmett sighs as he leaned against the wall. Silence filled the building as Sweet Pea kept his arms crossed and looked to the Alpha and hs surrounding.

If this guy was here by himself no doubt that his other doggy mates was nearby.

"It's just me kid. I left the pack." Emmett spoke up as he observed the boy. He noticed his tense posture and his wandering eye.

"Can't bullshit a bullshitter." Sweet Pea snaps as he sent a glare at the lone Alpha as his posture stiff.

"Well neither of us are good bullshitters since it's true. I left Deucalion, I left the pack. As of right now I'm an Omega." Emmett explained but Sweet Pea picked up on the sadness behind his words.

With the goodness in his heart he would ask what's wrong and comfort them.

But this was Sweet Pea. Someone who knows what he does is wrong but still does it anyway.

So does he comfort the Alpha?

"Cry me a fucking river, dog. Then I can swim my ass out of here and away from you."

No, he does not.

Emmett smiles --a small one-- as he looked at the raven haired Serpent. He reminded him of Kali, impulsive and hotheaded.

As he watched the boy in silence he couldn't help but think about the girl from years ago. The one he bit at the school. He knew he should've known better but the heartache and pain from losing one of his members clouded his judgement. Not to mention Ennis was helping him convince that biting this girl would be great for his pack.

If only he knew that Ennis and his sister would be the downfall to losing himself. Everytime he would look in the mirror all he would see was a killer.

A killer that killed his own pack. A killer of innocent people. A killer among wolves. A killer that deserves nothing more than to pay for his own monstrous actions.

"So why did you save me? If this is some bullshit excuse about how you found goodness or something crap I'm not buying it. You want something. Everyone does because nothing in this world is free." Sweet Pea broke Emmett's train of thought. Emmett sighs and looks in the eyes of the Serpent.

"What brought you to this town?"

•••

"The main priority we have is finding Melissa and your dad." Chris Argent spoke as he put the gun on the table.

"And Sweet Pea." Stiles spoke up. After the events at the hospital he yesterday went straight home to look for Sweet Pea. He wasn't there. He went the bar and it was closed.

Stiles looked at the closed sign as he sighs but jumps when he heard someone behind him. "He's not here. He took a week off to go somewhere. The bar's been closed for two days not going to open until next week." Stiles turned and saw a gruff looking man.

Stiles nods and before he left he asked if he saw a kid with a neck tattoo. "Sweet Pea? No haven't seen him since the sheriff banned him from coming here. If he ever hears Sweet Pea goes back inside the sheriff is shutting it down." Stiles meekly nods as he heard the new information.

He didn't know his dad banned Sweet Pea from the bar. Or the fact he would threaten to shut down the bar.

"I thought Jennifer said Sweet Pea left back home." Chris asked as Allison nods. They were filled in on the events at the hospital. Stiles shook his head, explaining how he went to the house and the bar, no Sweet Pea.

"Then he left town. Or like Derek said, he is working with Jennifer." Chris spoke nonchalantly. He didn't know him personally and when they left to the school where the last teacher was killed they didn't talk.

Allison pursed her lips, she didn't know who to believe. She hoped Sweet Pea wasn't the one killing innocent people but after their talks and him answering questions she felt like he was keeping things generic. She got answers but it still left her with millions of more questions.

Stiles stood up defensively, "No he can't be. What Jennifer said doesn't make sense. Okay she said Sweet Pea called Scott and Derek and the other werewolves by that term."

He looked to the Argent's who looked at him questioningly. They didn't catch on and Stiles sighs loudly.

"Sweet Pea never used the term werewolves or wolves. Okay, he calls them dogs! He has his own terms of the supernatural that revolve around Scooby Doo and other films. Okay, Jennifer probably took him again and hid him somewhere!" Stiles explained as he threw his hands around.

Has no one paid attention to the kid?! Why is he the only one noticing the little things?!

"Whether he was kidnapped or working alongside Jennifer we need to do this. We don't have the time." Chris spoke as he looked between his daughter and Stiles.

Stiles sighs as he thought about it, "Where do we start?"

•••

"Let me get this straight. You think this witch bitch is going use me as a sacrifice?" Sweet Pea asked Emmett, not believing him one second. Emmett groans as he shifted around on the floor. Where he and Sweet Pea sat in the empty bank.

"No, but I do think whatever she has planned for Deucalion and his pack she would need you." Emmett has been thinking about it non-stop since he found the kid in the closet.

Emmett was walking down one of the empty hallways as he was ready to leave. Not wanting to run into anyone in the Alpha pack or Julia or the Hales or the McCall kid and his friends.

This was his chance to leave and he was taking it. But he stops as he heard a heartbeat. It was far from where he was at and it was beating rapidly.

Hoping he could save someone from the wrath of the supernatural he makes his way to the heartbeat. He turns down multiple hallways and ends back on the ground level.

His tuned in on his hearing as he heard someone struggling. But he stops as he also heard police sirens and alot of commotion.

His ear twitched as he listened hard enough and if he concentrated hard enough he could picture what was happening. It was something Julia taught him when they first started dating.

"Where's your dad, Stiles?" A man spoke and he was wearing a suit and judging from the team and police coming in after him. It was the FBI. And this Stiles kid knew him personally with the utter distaste in his expression.

He opened his eyes as his ears caught onto the struggling and muffled yells. He jogs towards the noise as he stops at a closet. He slowly opens it and he stops when he spots the leather jacket, black boots, dark jeans and the glare of Sweet Pea.

He was tied up and has something covering his mouth, one look at the Alpha the kid begins to tug harder on his hands and his yelling turned more aggressive.

Shaking his head, Emmett moves forward to help the kid. Using his claws his cut the tie down around his legs but instead received a kick to the face.

Ignoring the slight pain Emmett tries to help with hands but the kid struggling made it impossible. "Sorry." Emmett spoke as he threw back his elbow to the kids skull, immediately knocking him out.

With no more trouble he cut the tie downs and ripped off the wax strip, leaving Sweet Pea's mouth and the skin around it red.

He begins debating about what to do with the kid. It was obvious Julia did this and wanted to make sure none of them found this kid.

He had two choices:

Leave him here and have the FBI find him.

Or

Take him with him and hopefully find out why Julia is trying to protect this kid.

"So my theory is Julia or Jennifer needs you when the time is right." Emmett explained further into details. The night the big fight happened and Ennis was nearly dead he and Marin went to take Sweet Pea.

Out of all the members of the Alpha pack, Marin was closer to Emmett since he wasn't so psycho killer or lacked the ability to feel. Emmett was the conscience of the pack and he and Marin spent time together about his problems. From his mental state to physical. So it was a no brainier when Marin came to him to ask for help with the task Deucalion gave her.

After everyone left and before the test of the pack go back for Ennis, she needed to grab the boy. He considered Marin as a friend and agreed to help.

They took him to the same exact bank he was at right now. In the vault and kept him there. But the next day or two someone took him from the vault. With the information they have now, it was Julia that took Sweet Pea from them.

And under Deucalion's orders they aren't allowed to look for the kid as he believed he would show up sometime. "Few weeks later, you showed back up." Sweet Pea looked down as his hands. Processing the information he was being told.

He could've left long ago but something was telling him to stay that despite what it looks like, he could trust Emmett. Not fully but enough to know that he needed to stay and listen. And Sweet Pea is one to listen to his gut.

So he stayed and he listened.
