Losing It ~ TeenWolf

Part 58

Liam

I stopped in my tracks as soon as I was close to take in Charlottes entire state.

She had been tied to a chair with a rope around her stomach, her legs were tied to the legs of the chair but what really shook me were her wrists. Her wrists were tied behind he back with more rope but blood covered the rope, dripping down her fingers and onto the floor, a small puddle had formed just under.

Her head hung low but I could just see her face. Blood covered a large amount of it even though there was no wound, this told me that they were a while old because her shirt was ripped and she had, what looked like, a stab or slash wound still present. She had given up hope, she hadn't bothered to heal herself because she didn't think it was worth it, that broke my heart.

Dark circles surrounded her eyes and her cheeks seemed a little hollower. She had gained more weight after last time but it seemed like she had lost a lot of it again.

I quickly ran up to her and knelt down in from of her. I put my hands on her knees, trying to gain her attention.

"Charlotte?" I asked.

She didn't answer me but I saw her eyes open slightly, only a tiny bit.

"Can you look at me?"

I heard the other come over to us.

She opened her eyes a little more and it seemed as if she had just realised that I was here and not imaginary.

"...Liam?" She asked, her voice quiet and croaky.

She looked up and over to the others and I saw her face light up a little as she saw them.

Amy ran over to the chair and began untying her wrists. Charlotte seemed to wake up in that moment, she winced when Amy touched her.

"No. Stop." She said almost frantically.

"Jesus what happened? Are they that tight?" Isaac asked.

"No... they soaked them in wolfsbane so that I couldn't get out, it's.. it's melting my skin." She said and I grimaced.

"How do I get them off?" Amy asked.

"Just... just be careful." She breathed.

Amy slowly starts untying the rope, Charlotte groans and bites down hard on her teeth. Just watching how much pain she was in made my heart break, it was so difficult to watch.

I felt bad for Amy, this must be killing her but no one else would dare to do it, I know I wouldn't be able to.

Once the ropes fell to the floor Charlotte pulled her arms from around her back and stared in shock at the damage.

I looked over at Theo and he had a broken expression on his face, I knew that he and Charlotte had become close, or, well, closer than she became with the others. It pained him a lot too.

She opened her eyes wide in shock, she stared at her mangled skin. The wolfsbane had dug so far into her wrists that it had literally melted her skin away leaving a cut off from where he hand was, you could very almost see her bone but it was barely covered. Blood spilled all down her arms, she was still sat in her lacrosse uniform and it had been ripped badly. Blood had stained the shirt in patches making it a dark red.

Her body began to vibrate with fear and despair. Sobs began trailing out of her mouth and tears spilled from her eyes.

"Please get this rope off me." She sobbed.

And Amy did just that, she hurried around and untied Charlotte's legs first and then the rope around her stomach.

She weakly stood up and grabbed onto Amy's shoulders for support but Amy grabs Charlotte  by her back and. Pulls her into a hug. They aren't actually that different in height with Amy being a little taller.

"Where is everyone?" Malia suddenly asks pulling all of our attention to her.

"I don't know. They should be here, or at least someone should, there's always someone watching her." Nolan says.

Charlotte pulls away from Amy and it's as if sudden realisation hit.

"We need to go, now." She said, her voice sounding stronger.

Amy and Charlotte have a really strong alpha - beta bond, even stronger than mine and Scott's so I knew that the hug they shared was very beneficial to the both of them. I looked at Charlotte's wrists and they were considerably better looking than before.

"What's wrong?" Stiles asked.

"They.. they're going to kill you all." Charlotte said her eyes suddenly wide with terror.

All of a sudden, a loud voice boomed through the room, shocking us all, a loud bang followed shortly after.

"How very right you are, my child." I immediately recognised the voice to be my father, I was suddenly scared.

The loud bang we heard was one of his followers shutting the vault door, sealing us all in.

"Our plan worked perfectly, mon amour." Monroe said, appearing from the same wall my father had.

I visibly cringed at the nickname. They seemed like a very unfit pairing, one which I didn't much like.

All of their followers come out from the position they were hiding in, my guess is that this room connected onto another long strain of tunnels which is why we couldn't hear them.

My thoughts then turned to Nolan and I stared at him. "Did you know this would happen? We're you tricking us?" I ask, my voice sounding almost like venom.

"N.. no I swear, I wanted to help." He stammered, seeming scared.

"Enough." Monroe yelled over the entire room. "Now, I can either kill you all, or, I can kill the two alphas in the rooms." She continued.

"Why alphas?" Scott asked.

"It is known that once an alpha has been eliminated, the rest of the pack is likely to fall or turn against each other. To put it simply, cut the head off a snake and the body dies too." My father says.

"Why are you doing this?" I ask.

"Because we want you dead, all of you." Monroe seethes.

I turn to Charlotte, she's almost red with anger and I don't think she's going to stay quiet for much longer.
