Losing It ~ TeenWolf

Part 54

Liam

After the game I saw Charlotte walk off, I could practically see the nerves radiating off of her and I could see the signs that she was on the verge of having a panic attack, I knew exactly how she felt.

I started walking off towards her, even if she wasn't happy with me I couldn't let her suffer like that.

Before I could make it more than a few steps I felt a hand on my shoulder, I turned around and saw Theo looking down at me.

Before I could even think, he smashed his lips onto mine, I immediately melted into the kiss and felt my face grow hot.

This was the first time we were actually able to be affectionate in public. It was new and strange and exhilarating all at the same time.

All of my thoughts washed away and I was even disappointed to say that I forgot about Charlotte, but I didn't think about that at the time.

His lips moved perfectly with mine and his hands rested on my cheeks.

I could feel how proud he was of me.

I really loved him and I was so happy we could finally be affectionate in public.

He pulled away with a smack of his lips and then smirked at me, I was flustered and kinda embarrassed but I wasn't upset so I smiled back.

"You did great baby." He whispered.

I blushed at his words.

"Took you off guard?" He asked.

"Just a little."

"Well get used to it, it's gonna happen a lot now."

"Well I'm not complaining." I smiled.

Then I remember Charlotte and how stressed and anxious she probably was and I mentally face palmed.

"Charlotte went off, I think we should go and see her." I said.

"Ok." He smiled.

We started walking off but Stiles walked over to us with a concerned look on her face. "Do you guys know where Charlotte is? She was really nervous before the game because..." and then he stopped, as if there was something he wasn't allowed to tell us. He looked at the ground and then back up again, shaking his head as if ridding himself of what he was about to say. "Do you know where she is?" He asked again.

"She rushed off into the school, I think the changing rooms probably, she looked kinda panicked." Theo said.

All of a sudden, Amy and Cora came running over, they seemed horrified.

My face immediately drained of its colour as I knew that this could only be bad and only be about Charlotte.

They stopped in front of us and didn't even stop for a breath.

"Charlotte's gone." Amy said frantically.

"Why is that so horrible?" Theo asked looking between me and the two girls. I would've thought the same thing if I wasn't already worried about her. Maybe she just needed some air or something but I was too worried to pass it off.

Amy looked at Stiles and then back at me. "Your dad was here..." she said.

"He's a hunter and he works close to Monroe, notice how they're both gone too?" Cora said.

My stomach dropped. So many thoughts were running through my head and I didn't know how to deal with it. Charlotte was gone, my dad was a hunter.

"How do you know she's gone? Where did you check?" Stiles asked frantically.

I couldn't even speak.

"The classrooms, the hallways, we called out to her we looked everywhere but she's just not there." Amy said.

"Ok, we need to check everywhere. If her dad was here then you know it's bad news." Stiles said.

All of the others came over, Scott, Lydia, Malia and Isaac.

"What's going on?" Scott asked.

"We can't find Charlotte, we think her dad has taken her." Amy said.

"He's a hunter." Cora added.

"holy shit." Malia said.

"What if she just went home?" Isaac asked.

"I don't think so.. I have a bad feeling about this." Amy said.

"Alright we'll go look." Lydia said .

I felt guilty, if I hadn't pushed her away then she would've opened up to me, maybe she wouldn't have walked off, she probably wouldn't have even been nervous.

As we walked towards the school, Theo's hand rested on my lower back keeping me from drifting completely into my own head so that I wasn't able to dwell too much.

The first place we check was the corridors, we kept all our sense heightened in case we were able to smell blood or just Charlotte in general.

There was one odd smell the closer we made it to the changing rooms. It smelt like blood but that's definitely not all it was.

It was mixed with something.

So we all silently agreed to go to the changing rooms without saying anything, we didn't need to, we all just knew.

We opened the door and the smell that came out was awful, it was strong like bleach but also reminded me of rotting meat.

We walked in slowly and started to walk around looking for anything really, just something that could tell us what had happened.

"Guys... come here.." Scott said.

We all need by the sinks, there was a broken motor with shards of glass scattered everywhere, some too far to have just fallen to the ground, it looked like someone had a fight and the glass had been kicked away.

I looked down onto the floor and there was a knife.

My breath stopped.

There was a dark brown substance covering the blade but a small patch of blood surrounded it.

Scott leant down to pick it up but he immediately pulled his hand back and winced, we all looked at him concerned, his skin was literally smoking as a burn wound quickly healed over.

"What the hell was that?" Malia asked.

"Wolfsbane." Lydia said.

"We need to show that to Deaton." Scott said.

Stiles walked over and grabbed it by the handle, it obviously didn't hurt him as he was human so he lifted it a little closer to his eyes.

"What type of wolfsbane is brown?" Theo asked.

"I don't think it's brown. It was yellow." Stiles said.

"Then why is it brown now?" Isaac asked.

"We should definitely take this to Deaton." Lydia said.

I already knew what it was, deep in my gut I could feel it.

My insides felt heavy and I wanted to be sick, a ball formed in my throat and I wanted to scream.

I just wanted Charlotte to be ok.
