Ryder: wanted to shout at Jesse to put the engagement ring down but he knew it was pointless. With every word said in regards to Andy hating him, he could feel his heart breaking all over again. He managed to distract himself long enough to where the break up didn't hurt anymore but here it was, happening all over again. He didn't want to believe them that Andy wanted him dead, he really didn't. "That's not true, he wouldn't want me dead..." he said in a low voice, knowing it was falling onto deaf ears. It was only a matter of seconds before the intense pain hit him again. This time, he felt true anger unleash and found himself halfway wolfing out and growling at them in a threatening manner even if he knew he wouldn't actually hurt them.
Andy: "What are you doing!?" boomed Andy's voice as footsteps grew closer and closer as he crept down the stairs and saw Ryder tied. "Stop it, get him off of there!" he shouted, racing towards Ryder, but didn't reach out to touch him in fear of being shocked as well. "It's about time you showed up; we might've had to kill him without you here, and where's the fun in that?" Jesse said as he stood up, straightening his shoulders as he let the ring fall back onto the table. "You never told us you knew one of them. Kept a secret all this time, and for what? For him?" his mother scoffed, "You knew what they did to us, but you still protected him. You're even more /pathetic/ than I thought." He swore the word felt as if it were seared onto his skin. "Well, since you're here, you might as well make yourself useful. Get him to tell us who else is in his pack," she said, turning her attention back onto Ryder. Andy kept quiet, made no move to even try to urge the other boy to speak since he knew it was all in vain. He knew the type of person that Ryder was, and he'd never just give up the ones who had seemingly been protecting him. "Andrew!" she shouted, but he stood still, defiant, and she took that as a sign to send another shock through Ryder. "Stop, please, stop!" It was then Andy spoke up, and despite every intention not to, she took her finger off of the button. "He's never hurt anyone. He's innocent," Andy pled with his mother, coming closer to her. "Look at him. Does he look innocent to you?" She pointed towards Ryder's wolfed out figure. He didn't try to contradict her, having a hard time looking at him in his state. "Here," she handed him the button before he could protest. "How about you do the honors?" Andy's stomach tightened, swallowing as he turned to face Ryder. "You're sick," he whispered towards his mother. "Oh, honey, you don't know the half of it." Mr. St. James pulled out the pistol that he had tucked into the back of his belt and got close enough to Ryder to aim it towards his head, where he'd have a clear shot. "How about you press the button and I don't blow his brain to bits and make you clean it up afterwards?" he bargained, generously sadistic. His fingers trembled as he seemed to contemplate that it was the lesser of two evils, but before he could press it, his mother turned up the notches to the highest setting, so irreparably harsh to the senses that anything longer than a couple of seconds could easily knock anyone out, werewolf or man. "No, n-no, please-" he began to plead again, but his dad pulled the safety off of the gun, which sent him to act before he could risk it: he pressed it and sent the highest voltage unto Ryder.
