nerve racking

—

Leilani was an amazing friend.

And being the amazing friend she is, decided to accompany Scott and Derek on their journey to find Derek's betas, Erica and Boyd. Though in doing this, she didn't think she'd have to watch Derek show off his 'alpha moves' by climbing a ladder in the most dramatic way possible.

As she and Scott watched the man, she had yet to notice the McCall's hesitance.

"Why are you so dramatic?" Leilani asked, looking up at him.

Derek glanced at her with raised brows before signaling for her and Scott to follow him. She rolled her eyes, glancing over at Scott before blowing out a breath and grabbing onto the ladder.

Carter stared into space as she was practically forced to listen to the sound of Stiles' feet dragging against the ground as he paced. At this point she was ready to cut the boys legs off in order to get him to sit still.

"I can't take waiting around like this, you know? It's nerve-racking. My nerves are racked. They're severely racked. Racked."

"I could beat you unconscious and wake you when it's over." Peter suggested. His words got an immediate threatening look from Carter,

"You most definitely will not." She looked away from the man and over to Stiles, "But seriously if you say 'racked' one more time it's going to be a problem."

Stiles sighed heavily before looking at the blonde, "You think Erica's really dead?"

"You think I really care?" Peter interrupted.

"I wasn't talking to you." He scoffed at the man before starting up another sentence, "I just... I don't understand the bank, though, okay? Wha... like, why wouldn't they chain them up in some underground lair or something? They're an Alpha pack, right? So shouldn't they have a lair?"

"Stiles..." Carter looked at him oddly, mouth slightly opened in disbelief.

"They're werewolves, not bond villains." Peter finished the girl's sentence.

"Wait a sec. Wait a sec. Maybe they're hiding there. You know?" He said, eyes darting between the two.

"No, Stiles, we don't know." Carter mumbled in a monotone voice.

"Like, maybe the bank vault reminds them of their little wolf dens." The Stilinski continued.

Peter and Carter's eyes widen in shock, "Wolf dens?"

"There's no way." Carter head fell into her hands.

"Yeah, wolf dens. Where do you live?" Stiles asked the former alpha.

"In an underground network of caves hidden deep in the woods." Peter said so nonchalantly that Carter couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

And of course, Stiles believed him, "Whoa, really?"
