Kiss Me - A.P.

IV. poe cup

When Tyler texted Charlotte and asked if she wanted to do a favour, she did not expect this. Walking in the woods, following his dad, with some coffee grounds in her jacket pocket. She loved Tyler, but right now she just wanted to go and read. 

They walk up to a tree seeing Wednesday looking back at Sheriff Galpin. Tyler quickly covers his hand over her mouth and pulls her back. Charlotte holds her breath not wanting to have a run in with the Sheriff. 

Once Sheriff and Elvis pass, Wednesday pulls away and looks back at the two. 

"Sorry. I didn't want Elvis to pick up on your scent" Tyler says. 

"Thanks. How'd you throw them off?" Wednesday asks. Charlotte and Tyler pull the coffee grounds out of their pockets and show the girl. 

"Coffee grounds?" Wednesday says.

"Deer hunting hack. One of the perks of being a part-time barista" Tyler explains. 

"I assume your father didn't bring the bloodhound to play fetch" Wednesday says. 

"He doesn't tell me shit" Tyler says. "You must think it's weird I'm stalking him and I brought Charlotte" He looks back at the girl and she gives him an amused smile. 

"No, I consistently stalk my parents" Wednesday retorts before walking away. Tyler follows her while Charlotte stays behind them so they can talk. She could tell Tyler felt some way about the girl. 

"What really happened the other night at the festival?" Tyler asks causing Charlotte's smirk to drop from her face. He had been asking her ever since it happened. She never told him though, he simply took it as a sign that she was uncomfortable and dropped it. "Look, I swear I won't say anything to my dad" Tyler promises. 

"I thought Rowan was in danger. Turns out I was wrong. Then he proceeded to use his telekinesis to try and choke me to death, while holding Charlotte against a tree." Wednesday explains briefly. 

Tyler looks back at Charlotte with a concerned expression. She just gives him a reassuring smile saying she was fine. Tyler looks back to Wednesday. 

"Holy shit. Why would he do that?" Charlotte sighs as Tyler keeps on questioning about it. 

"No idea. That's when this monster came out of the shadows and gutted him" Wednesday says causing Charlotte to shiver. Charlotte tuned out the rest of the conversation. She didn't want to constantly be reminded of Rowan's death. It scared her. 

She is snapped from her thoughts when she sees Wednesday's head jolt back. Tyler and Charlotte rush over to Wednesday.

"You okay?" Tyler asks while placing a hand on her back. Charlotte knew what was happening. She was having visions.

Charlotte was in her cat costume waiting for Wednesday to get out of the tent with Enid. 

"Omg, you look purr-fect" Enid says. "Only thing, where are your whiskers?" She asks. 

"Ask again, and you'll be down to eight lives" Enid just smiles at Wednesday's statement. 

Charlotte looks over to her brother who has Ajax right beside him. They're dressed up as jokers. Charlotte softly bites her lip while her eyes study Ajax. He was laughing at something Xavier said. His eyes flicked to her. He kept the big smile on his face and noticeably checked her out. Charlotte gulped and mentally cursed herself for letting herself be entranced by his appearance.
