I am the Prey ~ S.M [ 2]

Lake House

Chapter 7

"I'm not sharing my basement." Malia crosses her arms over her chest, as we stand outside by the busses.

"Actually, it's my basement," Lydia speaks up. "And my mom noticed how you tore it up last time."

"That was definitely one to remember." A shiver travels up my spine as I subconsciously rub my arms.

Way too many claws and fangs for my liking...

Stiles places a hand on her back, "All right, she's still learning." 

"But, we're going to use the boathouse for Liam," Scott says. "It's got support beams. We can chain him to one of them."

"But how do we get him out to the lake house if he doesn't trust us?" Kira brings up.

"I say if it keeps him from murdering someone we chloroform the little bastard and throw him in the lake."

"I'm in." Malia raises her hand eagerly to Stiles' suggestion.

"We're not killing or kidnapping him." Scott glances disapprovingly between the pair.

"Then let's be smarter." Lydia joins in. "We tell him there's a party and invite him."

"That could work." I fidget with my fingers.

"So, you're going to ask out a freshman?" Stiles looks over at her.

"No, I'm done with teenage boys. But, if we're playing a trick on someone, why not use the trickster?" I follow her gaze to a wide-eyed Kira.

She darts her eyes around at us, "Who? Me? No way. Not me."

"Yes, you. You know what they call a female fox? A vixen." 

"Me?"

"You can do it, Kira. Be a vixen."

I place an arm on her shoulder, "And when it works I'll be back up. In case he wolfs out on the way there."

"You backup?" Stiles looks over at me, "The girl who's having trouble not turning into another Nogitsune?"

"Wha- first of all, that was harsh, and second of all I'm working on it." I cross my arms over my chest, "Besides I can handle a Beta Werewolf."

Stiles squints his eyes at me, "Nina, you are a Beta Werewolf."

"A powerful Beta Werewolf."

He pinches the bridge of his nose,  "We're gonna die."

"Speaking of Nina," Lydia says. "We could actually use you too."

My eyes widen, "Me? Use me how?"

"To lure him in."

"I'm not a vixen. That's all Kira."

"You don't need to be a vixen." Lydia rolls her eyes. "Isn't it obvious? The kid has a crush on you."

I take a step back almost choking on my saliva, "I don't know what universe you're on, but that kid doesn't have a crush on me."

"Please, he couldn't keep his eyes off you at practice. It was pathetic." I bite my lip as my eyes drift over to Scott who has his firmly planted on the ground.

"But remember, I helped kidnap him."

"Exactly," Scott interjects snapping his eyes to Lydia. "He must hate her now. So... it won't work."

"You never know, maybe he liked it." A smirk forms on her lips.

I pinch the bridge of my nose, "You've got to be kidding me."
