Santana slips past another group of people keeping her gaze focused on Charlie. Her ex-girlfriend seemed to be aware that she was approaching, but she wasn't doing anything about it. She hadn't moved, she hadn't looked over at her again, in fact Charlie was just standing there. Like if she didn't move then Santana would simply forget that she had ran away, or perhaps she was simply hoping that she'd drop this six year grudge that she had harbored over the way Charlie had just abandoned her.

Maybe it was some weird alpha power play, but at this point she certainly didn't care. Charlie was just a coward and if she needed to call her out for it in front of all of her therianthrope peers then so be it. "Charlie. I know you see me," Santana snaps when Charlie finally moves and it looks like she's about to leave the room. She takes another step towards Charlie only for someone to slam into her from the side nearly knocking her to the ground. "Watch it," Santana snaps as she catches herself, forgetting for a moment where she was.

The room goes dead silent as the large man turns on Santana immediately, he inhales deeply for a moment and a puzzled expression crosses his big dumb features. "Human? Who invited the human?"

Santana freezes for a moment but immediately juts out her chin, she wasn't afraid of him, "Well who invited the gorilla?" She sneers at him.

"San, he's a bear!" Brittany hisses quietly mortified at just how badly this was going. She had just wanted Santana to fit in a bit better in class, people still looked at her like the odd one out.

Santana swallowed, well that wasn't good, she flinches when he reaches for her closing her eyes. This was probably going to hurt.

"Karofsky," A voice barked out cutting through all the noise and tension in the room, causing everyone to turn to the person who had spoken. "I know it makes you feel big and strong to pick on people who can't fight back but if you're looking for a fight tonight I don't mind tearing out a chunk of your flesh."

Santana turned to look at Charlie who was still leaning against the wall, her eyes were glowing under the light and quite a few people had moved away from her. She's about to say something when Brittany grabs her arm and pulls her away. Karofsky's attention was no longer on her and she was grateful. She exhales for a moment and looks at Brittany who looks slightly annoyed at her. "I'm sorry," she mumbles.

"You serious? I've seen all the pills you pop, no way you can take me on all by yourself. Can you even go through the change?" Karofsky sneers.

The quick exchange causes Santana to pause and turn to Brittany, "What drugs?" Brittany shrugs and Santana bites the inside of her cheek. So maybe there was more at play then she realized.

Charlie took a step forward and immediately the wolves that had been around her scattered, "I have no idea why don't we find out shall we?"

"Charlie," Quinn's voice barks out causing Charlie to stop for a moment. "For fucks sake, I can't leave you alone for a minute, can I?" Quinn brushes past Santana and Brittany not stopping as she steps between Karofsky and Charlie. "You know as well as I do that the moment she shifts, you're going to have every wolf in the building on your ass, the alpha's the beta's the omega's. Maybe in a one and one fight you might be able to take her, but against all of us? No one fights better in a pack then we do. So why don't you watch where you're going and learn some fucking manners."

Karofsky stares at Quinn for a moment before snorting and turning around, and walking back to his friends. "Whatever," he grunts shaking his head. "Fucking wolves."

Quinn flicks her eyes over to her twin for a moment, but when Charlie doesn't make a move she turns her attention back to Santana. "What part of do not make a scene do you not understand? I thought you were supposed to be—" Quinn stopped talking frowning when she noticed Santana pulling away from Brittany and attempting to make a beeline for Charlie. She turns to her twin for a moment before looking at Santana. "Seriously?"

"Can you blame her?" Brittany rolls her eyes. "Your twin is giving off some serious pheromones. No wonder Santana feels drawn to her."

"Pheromones? I don't want to fuck her, I want to throttle her," Santana snapped causing the two blondes to turn to her. "She disappeared off the face of the earth for six years. I mean the only reason I even knew she was alive was because of you. She didn't call she didn't text, she just—left. So, let me go so I can go—I don't know beat her with a stick or something."

Quinn stared at Santana for a moment before shrugging her shoulders, she had only promised her mother that she would keep Charlie from fighting with other therianthropes. Santana was human and she doubted that Santana could leave any permanent damage. Besides it would be hilarious to watch Santana beat Charlie with a stick. "Throttle away."

Santana immediately pulls away from Brittany and practically runs towards Charlie stopping only a few feet away from her. She pauses for a moment before frowning, it honestly looked like no time had passed at all. She was a little taller, Charlie still oozed sex appeal, though she was certain that it may have had something to do with the pheromones she was sending out like a wave. She narrows her eyes at her ex-girlfriend, who finally looks back at her, and she can't seem to find the words to say. She desperately wants to say something snappy to let Charlie know how upset she was but it's been six years, six years and all she can manage is a simple, "You abandoned me," her voice barely above a whisper.

Charlie stares at Santana for a moment before her shoulders slump. There was no defiance on her features as she shifts uncomfortably, "I wasn't—it wasn't safe to be near me. I just—I couldn't. Being near you when you didn't want to be my mate—" Charlie runs a hand through her hair. "My wolf wouldn't allow it. I needed to be away from you."

Santana swallows, "It was too much. I was sixteen and I just needed some time. It was just a day and I wanted to take it back, but you were gone. You were just—" Santana reaches and gently swats Charlie on the arm. "Gone. You were my best friend and you were just gone, like that. Like all the time we spend together didn't matter."

"All I've thought about for the past six years was the time we spent together, not much else to do when you're freezing your tits off in fucking Alaska," Charlie says with a frown, "I—missed you. Every day, I missed you." Charlie reaches for Santana's hand pausing when she pulls away.

"Yeah, well that's not good enough," Santana snaps at her, she exhales and looks around where there were other wolves just lingering. "Is this what you do now?"

"I can't be with anyone else, I haven't been with anyone else," Charlie admits. "They hope that my wolf will choose them but it won't happen. The decision has already been made."

Santana shifts uncomfortably, there it was again, "Yeah well, I didn't wait for you." It's petty, and she has no idea why she even brought it up. But she felt the need to let Charlie know that she hadn't been some lovesick teenager who had waited for Charlie to get her act together. She hadn't had many lovers, but there had been at least three girlfriends, and a few one night stands that were just as disappointing as dating other people had gone.

"I never expected you too," Charlie closes her eyes and inhales sharply for a moment. "I have to go. My medication is wearing off and I can't be near you right now. I'm sorry."

"So, you're just going to disappear? Once again, I'm going to see you in another six years?" Santana demanded.

Charlie exhales and opens her eyes, and pulls out her phone and hands it to Santana after unlocking it. "Here, put your number in and I promise I'll call."

Santana scoffs, "No, I'm not letting you out of my sight, for all I know you can have Quinn come up to me and tell me to leave you alone."

Charlie narrowed her eyes slightly for a moment before she shakes her head, "Fine, but if I tell you to leave then you need to leave. My shifting has been unstable as of late and I'm not sure how my wolf will react to you." She could feel it under the surface and she was unsure if her wolf was happy, or angry or desperate, it had been such a long time since she'd been at peace.
