"Is that why you've been sounding like Wheezy from Toy Story all day?"

⭒🐺━━━━━🐺⭒

"We totally won." Charlotte scoffs, glaring down at Liam with a playful smile. "Don't be such a mini SourWolf."

"You tripped me up!" Liam argues, sending the older Chimera a glare. His arms are crossed over his chest and his eyebrows are furrowed into a deep frown.

Long story short, Liam Dunbar is stropping. And Charlotte and Hayden are making fun of him for it.

"Why can't you just admit you slipped on your own water from your own gun?" Hayden laughs, leaning her head against Charlotte's arm.

"I didn't slip! You know what-?" Liam mutters before he just walks away, not putting up with the girls' 'bullying' as he calls it.

It takes a few moments and one look between Charlotte and Hayden before the two Chimeras are bursting into laughter, Liam soon joining in, unable to help himself. It makes the three forget momentarily about the plan currently happening and the 'What if's' running through their minds. However mainly, it distracts Charlotte from Scott's and Lydia's conversation about the second part of the plan that none of the three currently laughing know of.

"Oh, shit..." Lydia trails, anxious. The sudden negative tone in Lydia's voice immediately gains Charlotte's attention, who walks away from Liam and Hayden and over to her girlfriend and best friend. "I just realised, we can't use our phones, no one's gonna be able to check in on Theo and Stiles."

"I didn't think about that..." Scott trails, his eyebrows drawing down into a frown.

"Well, it was nice having a Human best friend." Charlotte hums, unbothered. Unbeknownst to the others, Charlotte had a very... stern conversation with Theo, saying if Stiles was hurt by him in any way, she'll murder him. And she wouldn't care what Scott says (like she cares anyways). "I wonder what Danny's up to these days."

"Arlo, does it not bother you that we're literally standing here, waiting for these people in masks to show up for Hayden - and potentially you - and we don't even know what Stiles and Theo are waiting for?" Scott asks, kinda unnerved by the Chimera's unbothered behaviour.

"No."

"Okay then."

Charlotte grins at the Alpha, sending him a curt nod before she turns to go back over to Liam and Hayden. However, as she moves, she accidentally kicks the closed dufflebag next to Scott's feet, and the familiar sound of chains rattling echo through the air.

"You are not tying me up to a tree again." Liam speaks up from near the locker room sinks, ignoring the look of amusement from Hayden at the knowledge of him behind tied up to a tree. "I got splinters last time."

"They're..." Scott trails with a wince, glancing over to Lydia, who is looking at Charlotte. A quiet, confused, Charlotte. "They're not for you."

"We brought them just in case." Lydia speaks up, keeping her eyes on Charlotte as she speaks. She knows full well how Charlotte reacts to not being told everything about a plan or about someone's suspicions. It increased drastically after she found out about everyone keeping Malia's identity a secret.

"In case of what?" Charlotte questions, tilting her head curiously. They couldn't possibly be for Hayden or Liam, it's not a full moon. And they're definitely not for herself. "Please tell me we're doing something like catching Santa Clause."

"No, Arlo. We brought them just in case we're able to catch one of them." Scott explains, choosing his words carefully. "They're coming for you, Hayden. And possibly you too, Arlo. If we can't make the school a fortress, then we make it a trap."
