***I do not own Teen Wolf or the Characters Except for my own***
Beacon Hills wasn't the most eventful place in California; It was quiet, everyone usually knew everyone… And then half a body shows up in the woods, and that's when everything you thought you knew about Beacon Hills completely changes.
Charlotte was in her room peacefully getting ready for bed, when she heard the screams of two younger men from the front of the house.
Sighing as she threw on her shirt she exited her room, going to check in her younger brothers room to see if her suspicion of who the screams came from were true. And to no surprise, the room was sans Scott.
Glancing around the room Charlotte saw that Scott's inhaler was on his desk and grabbed it before heading downstairs planning on yelling at her brother and his friend for scaring the crap out of her when she got the tail end of their conversation.
"Nobody knows yet" Stiles was explaining what he overheard on dispatch. "Just that it was a girl, probably in her 20's."
Scott; confused and wondering what so important about why his friend came to his house so late when they had school tomorrow. They already found the body, so what was Stiles so excited about? "Hold on, if they found the body, then what are they looking for?"
Stiles lit up at the question. "That's the best part: they only found half, we're going."
"Going where?" Charlotte said as she opened the door and leaned on the doorway of their home, giving the two younger boys a look of suspicion after they jumped and turned to look at the older McCall child. "You guys scream really loud, by the way… Like girls." She teased and stuck her tongue out as she pushed herself off the doorframe. "But seriously, where are you guys going so late on a school night?"
Scott started to stammer and stutter. "Charlotte! I-um… We were… Uh." He turned to look at his friend with wide eyes, silently pleading for help on explaining the absurd plan that Stiles was trying to drag him into.
"So, uh… My dad got a dispatch call on a body in the woods. And we were going to go check it out- you look great by the way! Did you do something different with your hair?" He added at the end in hopes she wouldn't tear their heads off.
Charlotte looked at the two boys, her brown eyes darting back and forth between them. "Uh-huh… And what makes you think that this was a good idea?" She looked back at her brother, "Don't you have Lacrosse practice tomorrow?" Scott nodded his head, thankful that it seemed like she was going to get him out of this.
Stiles, on the other hand, threw his head back with a sigh. "Come on, Charlotte! I thought you were the cool one? It's not even a full body! It's half! Half of a body. Am I the only one here that thinks this is cool?" He looked at the two siblings "I mean, you guys are always bitching about nothing ever happening in this town!"
"I was trying to get a good night's sleep for practice tomorrow." Scott said, trying to get Stiles to let up on this, which wasn't working for either McCall."
"Oh yeah, 'cause sitting on the bench is such grueling effort." Stiles rolled his eyes at his friend. The two have been trying to actually play in the game since their first try-outs, and so far they haven't played a single game.
"No, because I'm playing this year." Scott stated with confidence "In fact, I'm making first line."
Stiles rolled his eyes again. "Hey, that's the spirit. Everyone should have a dream, even a pathetically unrealistic one." Stiles eventually managed to get Scott to agree to come along with them, but as the two were about to step off the porch they heard Charlotte clear her throat.
"Forgetting something, little brother?" She said as she pulled the inhaler out of her pocket and held it up for Scott to see.
"Oh! Thank you. Can't believe I almost forgot that." He walked over to grab it, but Charlotte raised her hand higher so it was just out of his reach.
"One condition…" She looked back at Stiles with a smile. "I'm coming with you."
Stiles, instead of being upset like Charlotte thought, lit up with a smile. "For real? You want to come see a dead body?"
Handing the inhaler to Scott, she reached into the house to grab her jacket. "I'm off work tomorrow. And like you said Stilinksi- nothing ever happens in this town." She throws the jacket on and walks ahead of them. "Let's go boys!"
Trekking up a slippery and leafy hill into the woods, Stiles in the lead, and Charlotte in the rear to make sure nothing happened to her asthmatic little brother.
"Stiles, what part of the body are we even looking for?"
There was a long pause. "Huh! Didn't think about that." He said, pointing the flashlight in front of him.
Charlotte nodded her head. "Uh-huh… And-uh, what if the killer is still here in the woods?" She said, glancing behind her after thinking she heard the leaves crunch behind her.
"Also something I didn't think about," Stiles said and Charlotte let out a long sigh.
"It's - comforting to know that you planned this out with your usual attention to detail." Scott let out with a few huffs, obvious that this journey is taking a toll on his weak lungs.
"I know" Stiles oblivious to his friend struggling to breathe.
Charlotte, always on watch anytime she's with her brother caught on to the little huffs he was letting out. "Hey, Stiles? Maybe the severe asthmatic should be the one holding the flashlight? Just a thought."
Stiles, however, seemed to have seen something and took off "Wait, come on!"
"Stiles!" The two siblings called out. "Stiles get back here!"
The two followed him until Charlotte saw the lights of flashlights and pulled her brother off to the side and ducked behind a tree. Scott looked over at his sister with wide eyes "Charlotte? What are you-" he was cut off by a hand being thrown over his mouth and a harsh "Shush" coming from the older sibling.
"Hold it right there!" The two heard the familiar voice of the Sheriff, Stiles dad. Charlotte was relieved that she caught sight of them before they saw them, but at the same time mad that Stiles got caught, meaning he would have to leave without the two siblings behind.
"Where's your usual partner in crimes?" The Sheriff asked his son.
"Who? Scott?" Stiles asked, trying to make it look like that he and his sister weren't hiding behind a tree just a few feet away from him. "Scott's home. He said he wanted to get a good night's sleep for the first day school tomorrow. And, y'know how bossy Charlotte can be so it wasn't even a choice for him to come with me." He let out a chuckle, not knowing the glare to the back of his head from Charlotte after he called her bossy. "There's just me… In the woods… Alone…"
The sheriff raised his flashlight into the woods, "Scott, you out there? Scott?"
Charlotte looked down at her brother with wide eyes trying to keep as quiet as she could, even though the crouching position she was currently in was uncomfortable. It was fine if Stiles got caught, but if Scott and Charlotte's mom found out that they were out in the woods at night after a killer left a girl's body in half in said woods to rot away she wouldn't let them leave the house again.
Which, technically Charlotte shouldn't have to worry about being grounded with her being 22 years old… But honestly, her mother scared her when she was mad, so she tried to avoid making her mad as much as possible.
The sheriff escorted Stiles back to his car, leaving the two McCall's in the woods. Alone. In the dark. At night. With a potential killer that cuts people in half on the loose.
The next turn of events was like a nightmare.
As the two tried to make their way back home, they kept hearing noises around them. They kept walking, hoping that the noises would stop and they could walk peacefully home with no troubles.
"I hate this," Charlotte muttered, but her quiet voice turned into a scream when a whole herd of Stags ran in front of them, making them fall and shield themselves from being trampled like Mufasa in the Lion King. After the Stag-fest was gone, Scott took his phone out to use the light of his screen to look for the inhaler that he dropped.
"Damn it, Scott, those things are expensive to replace." Charlotte breathed out, using her phone for the same purpose.
"I didn't mean to!" He defended. "If you hadn't noticed, there was like a hundred deer that just ran through the woods, it's hard to keep hold of anything in a situation like that."
The two continued their search for the inhaler, looking in different directions.
Instead of finding the inhaler, Scott found the missing half of the body. Surprised, he let out a yell and sprung back and ended up falling from the top of the hill.
"Scott!" Charlotte screamed, running over to where she just saw her little brother fall down, stopping to a halt when she saw the top half of a body and her stomach dropped when she recognized the face. "Oh, God no…" Taking steps around the body, she looked down the hill where Scott fell. "Scott? Scott!" She called out but didn't get a response. "Shit…" Taking one last look at the body she took a deep breath and started to carefully descend down the hill, digging her heels into the earth and grabbing onto any branch or root that she could to help her.
Reaching the bottom she calls out for Scott again. But instead of hearing the comforting voice of her brother saying he was okay, she instead heard a howl from a wolf.
Swallowing the lump in her throat, she pushed her body to move forward. "Scott!" She looked around the woods, trying to see through the dark and trees.
Her heart stopped for a split second when she heard a growl from beside her.
She slowly turned her head to the direction of the noise and gasped when she saw two red orbs staring back at her. She took off running as fast as her feet could take her and before she even realized it, she was out of the woods. She let out another gasp when she saw Scott limping on the side of the road. "Scott!"
Scott stopped and turned on his feet the instant he heard his sister's voice and let out a sigh of relief that they both got out of the woods alive, even though he got bit by what he could only guess was a giant wolf. His sister stopped in her tracks when she saw that Scott was hurt, looking at the wound with wide eyes.
"W-what happened? Are you okay?" She tried to examine it but pulled her hands back when Scott flinched. "Oh my God, Scott… What the hell happened back there?" She looked up at his face, and Scott could see tears pooling in her eyes. She was scared and worried for him, and he was glad that he had an older sister like her that looked out for him. Even when they were younger and would always butt heads with each other and fought over things that they both admit were stupid now, she always had his back when older kids would pick on him and Stiles. The first time he and Stiles had a fight, she comforted him and told him everything would be okay. When their parents would get into really bad arguments, she would let him stay in her room until they stopped, even if it took all night and he would fall asleep.
"I'm fine, we can just go home and put some antibiotics on it… It's really not that bad." He reassured her with a smile. Even though it looked pretty bad, it actually didn't hurt that much.
Charlotte sighed with relief and stood up straight. "Okay, yeah let's go home…" she pushed her hair back and looked at her brother before leading the way back to the safety of their own home.
