and Shawn.”

Lacy looked at Stina as if to say what. “No. I will take a break, but not now.” She went back to work.

“Oh come on. You’re no fun.” Stina laid her head on the desk and thought of something to say. She thought of a lie. She sat up. “Shawn ate your butterfly collection.”

Lacy stopped what she was doing and turned to face Stina, mad. “He what?”

“Ate your butterfly collection.”

Lacy stood up and hurried out of the room. Stina followed her into the kitchen where Shawn was making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. He looked up and smiled at the two girls. He lost his smile when he realized that Lacy was mad at him. “What did I do?” he asked, kind of scared.
Lacy growled at him. “You ate my butterfly collection.” She was angry.

“No, I didn’t.”

“Stina told me you did.”

“Well, she lied. Maybe she ate it.”

Lacy turned to face Stina. “Did you eat it?”

“No,” Stina replied.

“Did Shawn eat it?”

“No. It’s actually tucked under your bed where you hid it from us.”

“Then why.... How did you know that?”

“I um.... I um....” Stina tried to come up with a lie. “He told me.” She pointed to Shawn.

“I didn’t tell you anything.... You liar.”

“I’m going back to work. And the both of you stay out of my room,” Lacy said, pointing to Shawn and Stina. She left the room.

“I didn’t do anything.”

“Stay out of trouble. Okay, Shawn,” Stina said, walking out of the room. “Oh yea. And quit blaming me.” She left the room.

Shawn was doing hand gestures and dropped his mouth like what did I do type of thing.

Creepy Book Title

Millie and Champ were at the vet’s office. Millie noticed the same really skinny guy who freaked her out and noticed that he was in the same seat with his dog from the day before. She turned to Champ. “That guy never left?” she asked to where only Champ could hear her.

Champ looked over at the guy. “I don’t know.”

Jack walked into the room. He didn’t pay any attention to Millie and Champ. “Mr. Charleston, I’m ready to see Sam now.”

The skinny man stood up. “Okay.” Mr. Charleston was still holding the dog’s leash. “Come on, Sam.”

The big sheep dog was being stubborn. It was as if he knew what was going to happen to him and he didn’t want to go anywhere’s. Mr. Charleston was getting mad at Sam. Millie and Champ were watching what was going on. Millie had a smirk on her face. Mr. Charleston grabbed the dog’s collar and the dog started growling at him.

He smacked the dog’s face. “Bad boy, Sam. Don’t talk to me like that.”

The dog showed his sharp, long teeth. Millie started laughing at the man. She knew what was going to happen to him. “The dog’s going to bite him,” she told Champ.

“That’s not funny, Millie.”

“Yes, it is, the guy’s a creep, he deserves it.”

“SAM!” Mr. Charleston was ticked off because the dog wasn’t listening to him. His dog bit him and Millie started laughing even harder.

“Now that’s funny.” Millie was enjoying every moment of what was going on.

“No, it’s not,” Champ said.

Mr. Charleston finally got the dog to move and they walked over to Jack. Millie couldn’t help but hear their conversation. “It’s a good thing that he’s getting put to sleep today,” Mr. Charleston told Jack.

“Yep,” Jack agreed.

Jack and Mr. Charleston left the room. Millie dropped her mouth in disbelief. She was mad. “Did you hear that?” she asked Champ.

“Yea.”

“They’re going to put that poor dog to sleep.”

“I know.”

“I would have bitten that guy.”

“You would bite anyone.... You would of eaten that guy.”

“No I....” Millie thought about it. “Actually, I would of. But that guy is a creep.”

“So.... Just forget about it.”

“Forget about it? That poor dog is going to sleep forever, and you’re telling me to forget about it?”

“Millie, look, I feel just as bad as you do for the dog, but there is nothing we could do about it.”

 

 

Three hours later, Millie and Champ were still waiting for someone to come out of the room. “That dog should have been put to sleep by now.” Champ looked at the round clock on the wall.

“Yea,” Millie agreed.

Finally, Jean walked into the room. “Champ, and Millie, right?” she asked.

“Yea.” Millie couldn’t help the fact that she felt like something weird was going on. She looked at Champ and noticed that he was thinking the same thing she was.

“Okay. Dr. O’Nail is waiting for you two in the back. If you’ll follow me.”

They followed Jean down a long, dark hallway. It was like a hallway in a scary movie. There was an eerie feeling that Millie and Champ felt while walking down the hall. It explained why all of the animals feared going there. “What took so long?” Champ asked to forget about that spooky feeling.

“Oh. The dog that he was had to put to sleep was trying to attack everyone. It took them a while to get a muzzle on him and then they had to hold him down.”

“So he had rabies or something?”

“Yea.”

Champ looked at Millie. “That’s a reason to put a dog down.” He looked at Jean. “Any animal actually.”

“Yep.”

They finally arrived at the room. When they walk into the room, Jack was arranging his equipment. Jean walked over and whispered something to him. He turned to face Millie and Champ. Jack nodded to what Jean was telling him. What Jean was whispering to Jack was so low that the two lycans couldn‘t even hear what she was saying. “Okay,” he told her.

Jean started walking away. “I better get back to work.” She left the room.

“I was going to let you two watch, but I didn’t think that you wanted to see that dog get put to sleep,” Jack told Champ and Millie as he leaned against the counter in the middle of the room.

The two lycans could sense that the vet was lying, but they didn’t let him know that. They knew that something else had happened in that room cause they could smell it in the air. They also knew that met to keep a close eye on him as well.

“Yea. Good idea.” Champ placed his hand on Millie’s shoulder, joking. “She would of killed someone.”

Millie gave Champ a dirty look and she shook her head.  Mostly because she really would of killed someone.

Jack laughed, thinking that it was a joke. “She doesn’t like to watch animals get killed.”

“She’s okay as long as they’re not dogs.”

Jack nodded. “Well, that’s the only thing that I hate about this job is putting animals to sleep.”

“Um....” Millie interrupted, confused about something. “Where did Mr. Charleston go? I don’t remember seeing him walk through the waiting room to leave.”

“Oh. He took the back door,” Jack lied. He didn’t want the two kids to know what he did. Like everyone else in the town, he knew they were lycans and he wanted to destroy them along with everyone else in Westfield. No, in Mass. No, in the world. Yea, the world. No one could be as insane as this man. He was passed crazy. Actually, he was passed insane. Jean, his assistant, was in on his plan.

Millie noticed the book that was lying on the counter behind Dr. O‘Nail. She read the title of the book. It read:

 

How to Turn Humans into Animals

By: Justine Wacky

 

Millie couldn’t believe what it said. “Oh.” She acted like she was listening.

Jack picked up a clipboard and read what was on the paper.

“I’ll be right back. I have to go do something.” He left the room.

“Champ,” Millie said, pointing to the book, “look. That’s the book he asked for.”

Champ looked at the book. “That’s it?”

“Yea.”

Champ went over to the counter and picked up the book. He read the back.

“What’s it say?” Millie asked.

“It says that you will learn by reading this book different ways to turn humans into animals and how long they have to live before it kills them.” He dropped the book. “Do you have your cell phone with you?”

Millie pulled out her cell phone. “Yea.”

“Call Lacy and tell her what we learned.”

“Okay.” Millie dialed the number and waited for someone to answer the phone.

 

 

At the cottage, Stina and Shawn were in the living room playing checkers. Stina jumped two of his pieces. “I WIN AGAIN!”

Shawn looked at the board and realized that she cheated again. “You did not win. You cheated.”

“You’re just a sore loser. I didn’t cheat.”

The phone rang.

“It’s just one of those stupid mortgage companies again.” Shawn was getting tired of them calling. Those people were so annoying and he didn’t really get annoyed with people all that much.

“Well, answer it and act like your from pizza hut or something. That should work.”

“Okay.” Shawn stood up and answered the phone. “Thank you for calling pizza hut. Delivery or carry out?”

“Shawn?” Millie asked, confused.

“Millie?”

“Yea.”

“Oh. Sorry about that. Did you and Champ get any information about that vet yet?”

“Well, we found the book that he asked for from the bookstore. That’s actually why I’m calling. Is Lacy around?”

“Yea. Hold on, I’ll go get her.” He put the phone on the table next to the hook because it was a phone with a curly cord that was hooked up to the hook. He went into the computer room. To his surprise, Lacy was not in there. He went to check her room, but stopped in Wagner’s room, because she was in there trying to help Wagner look for something. “Lacy.”

She looked up at him. “Yea, Shawn?”

“Millie’s on the phone. She needs to talk to you.”

“Okay.” Lacy stood up. “I’ll be right back. Okay, Wagner.” She left the room.

“Okay.” Wagner climbed on his bed.

“Hey, Wagner.” Shawn walked into the room. “Do you know to play checkers?”

“Yea.”

“Okay, good. Can you play against Stina for me, please?”

“Are you crazy? Of course not.”

“Why not?”

“She cheats.”

Shawn smacked himself in the face, feeling like an idiot. “Crap.” He left the room.

Strange Instructions

Lacy walked into the living room and seen that Stina was on the phone. “Kyle’s in outer space. Yea, he said that he’d call you later.” Stina had a wild imagination. Everyone, including Millie, knew that she’ll say things that weren’t true. “Okay, Millie. Here’s Lacy.” She handed the phone to Lacy.

Lacy put the phone next to her ear. “What’s up, Millie?”

“We’re in an operation room and it just so happens that Dr. O’Nail has the book.”

“Really? What’s it say?”

“Well, Champ read the back of the book and it’s really insane. Okay, it says that you will learn
