she wasn’t going to keep looking for him and by the time she found him the trance would have worn off. She felt kind of stupid looking for a werewolf anyways. She believed that the best way for her to run into a werewolf was to let them come to her. “Well, if there’s one werewolf, then there must be more, seeing that they live in packs,” she told herself. “I’ll control them all.” She laughed, evilly. Under Some Sort of Trans

A couple of days had pasted and Millie stood outside of the bookstore. There weren’t any costumers, like usual, and she didn’t know where to go. She didn’t want to visit Tom and Jane again, and she didn’t feel like going home, but she didn’t want to stay at the bookstore. She always got this way around the holidays, especially Christmas. Memories of her parents would reveal themselves in the decorations and different places they had been even if they weren’t dealing with the holidays or even close. She started walking around.

A couple of miles away from the bookstore, Lee drove by and had noticed Millie walking. He pulled over the car and climbed out. He walked over to the girl. He knew how she didn’t like humans, but he was the kind of person to show kindness to someone no matter what. “Millie, where are you going?”
Millie stopped. She didn’t feel like talking. “Home.”

“Hey, Millie. Look, I could give you a ride.” He didn’t think that anyone should walk home in the cold. He felt bad for her.

“I don’t take rides from humans.”

Lee could hear the bitterness in her voice. Every time he would offer to help, she would have some form of bitterness in her voice. “It’s too cold for someone to be walking out here.” He had to pause. “You could catch a cold or something out here.”

“What are you? My father?” Millie asked, using sarcasm. “I don’t care if I get sick or not.... I don’t care what happens to me.... I refuse to ride with humans.”

“Oh come on, Millie. It’s just one ride.”

Millie gave in. She really didn’t feel like arguing with a human. “Oh fine.... But just for today.”

“Okay.”

Millie and Lee climbed into the old truck. Lee drove by the pale woman. He recognized her from the day before. She was standing in the middle of the road again. “Hey, I was talking to that woman yesterday.... She knows Champ....”

Millie looked out of the back window of the truck and just seen the woman’s back. She turned back to the front of the truck.

“Why is she standing in the middle of the road? Doesn’t she know that’s dangerous?”

“So she’s....” Millie stopped talking and gone into a daze. Her eyes looked all white. No pupils or color. She started growling.

“Millie? Millie? Millie?” Lee looked over at Millie and realized that she was going to attack him. He remembered that Champ had almost grabbed the cash register and growled. He noticed how Millie wasn’t wearing her seat belt. An idea popped into his head. “Sorry, Millie.”

The truck swerved on the icy road as Lee slammed on the brakes. The truck crashed into a light pole and Millie flew face first against the glass window. The window, surprisingly, didn’t brake. Lee unbuckled himself as fast as possible, opened the door, and ran out of the car into the street.

Millie climbed out of the truck as if nothing happened. She moved her jaw until it cracked and cracked her neck and back as well. She walked away from the dent up truck. She walked in the direction of the pale woman.

Lee watched as Millie walked away and he decided to follow her like he had done with Champ. He noticed that they both walked as if they were under some kind of spell.

Lee was hiding in the ally and looked at all of the dogs and Millie which were surrounding the pale woman. He figured that all of the dogs from the town were there. Now, that was really odd.

The pale woman started to speak and Lee decided to listen to what she said. “I WANT ALL OF YOU TO GET ME MONEY AND BRING IT ALL TO ME!” she ordered, loud and clear. She smiled as she realized that Millie was in the crowd. “Good, there’s another werewolf.... I knew it,” she told herself. “NOW GO!” she ordered the dogs.

Lee couldn’t believe what he heard. This woman wanted all the dogs to bring her money. He thought about what the woman had said to him about Champ owing her money. The way she had talked to them was like they were under her control. Lee had to tell someone, but he didn’t know who. He decided to tell Jean and he had to get Millie to snap into reality. He knew that woman had to be the reason why Champ had acted weird.

Young Count Jock

Millie walked through the town, looking for a bank. She walked over to a bank. She took a step until she heard someone whistle. She turned to find Lee holing a bucket of water. She didn’t speak but she growled as she went to attack him.

Lee dumped the water on Millie before she could lay a hand on him.

Millie snapped back to reality. She wrapped her arms around herself, freezing. She shook feeling the cold air hit her wet face and hair. She eyed Lee, noticing the empty bucket in his hand. “Why am I wet?” she growled at Lee. She was ticked off.

“Don’t you remember?”

“We were in your truck.... This is why I hate humans.... You all lie.”

Lee was relieved that Millie was back, but for some reason she still wanted to kill him.

Lacy and Kyle walked into town. They were looking for Millie. They figured that she had walked off some where’s. She never went to fimilar places because of those memories and they knew that it would be hard to find her, but they would always check to look for clues that might indicate where she might be. Lacy started walking toward the bookstore, while Kyle made his way to the vet’s office.

Kyle walked into the vet’s office and he smiled as he seen his girlfriend. He walked over to Millie, who was wrapped in a towel, and sat down next to her. “Everyone’s looking for you.”

Millie looked at him. She didn’t want to say anything, but she didn’t have to. Lee and Jean walked into the waiting room.

“Millie, do you remember anything that happened after you and Lee were heading to your cottage?” Jean asked as she made her way to her desk. Lee had explained everything to Jean, but she wanted to see if Millie could tell her.

“He dumped water on me.... In weather that’s below thirty degrees outside.... Why don’t I give you a ride home so that way you don’t have to walk home in the cold.... We’re out in the cold so here I’ll splash water on you, and to top it off, it’s ice cold water....” Millie was ticked off. She didn’t know why she had listened to that human.

Jean still wasn’t use to Millie’s temper. Lee and Kyle, on the other hand, were.

“I trashed my truck, Millie,” Lee shot back at her.

“That’s not my fault.”

Lee went to say something, but stopped. He remembered about that pale woman and he decided that Kyle and Millie needed to know.

Stina was the only one in the house. Shawn and Wagner were at the mall, visiting Santa Claus. Lacy, Champ, and Kyle had gone out looking for Millie. Stina was alone, but she didn’t care. It didn’t bother her to be alone. She heard some weird noises then realized that it was her stomach growling. She was hungry and decided to cook some barbecue ribs. She placed them in the oven for two hours. She walked into the living room and turned on the radio. She started to sing along to the song that was on.

Someone knocked on the door. Stina rushed over and opened the door to find a tall, pale, cute, black hair, and black eyes, sixteen-year-old boy standing in front of her. Well, he looked to be about sixteen, but he was much older than his human appearance suggested. She also noticed that it was dark outside as well.

“Hello,” Stina said with a smile.

The pale guy didn’t smile back. He was more serious in his expression. “Hello,” he said in his Transylvanian accent, which to Stina sounded odd because it was the first time that she heard someone talk with that accent before.

“Who are you?”

“I’m Count Jock, and I’m here to talk to the leader of the wolf pack, Millie.”

“Oh. I’m Stina, and I’m part of the wolf pack....” She looked at him and noticed that he had fangs. “Are you a vampire? Because you’re really pale, and you have fangs.”

“Yes, now, can I talk to Millie please?” he asked. Now, werewolves and vampires weren’t enemies, but they weren’t really friends either. They delt with each other and they helped each other out, but they weren’t exactly friends.

“Well, you could, Jack, but Millie’s not here.”

“It’s....” Jock decided to let it go. He needed to talk to Millie and it was very important. He had to warn Millie and her pack that something bad was going to happen. “Never mind.... Where is Millie?”

“Somewhere in town.... Come on and I’ll help you look for her.” Stina grabbed her house key and locked the door. She had Jock follow her into the town, forgetting that the stove was still on.

Champ ran into Kat, while he was trying to find where Millie was. "Kat, have you seen Millie anywhere?”

“No. Why?”

“Me, Lacy, and Kyle are looking for her.”

The pale woman walked behind Champ. “Where have you been, Champ?”

Kat grew angry. She wanted to know who this woman was standing behind Champ.

Champ turned around, confused. He didn’t recognize the woman’s voice or scent. When he seen the woman, he didn’t know who she was, but he just took one look at her and knew what she was. “Who are you and how do you know me?”

“I am Christina, and I believe that you,” she said, holding up a dog whistle, “still owe me money.... Werewolf.”

Champ couldn’t believe it. He didn’t know what he was going to
