Millie walked around Tom’s house. She looked at the pictures which Tom and Jane had hanging up. She noticed that they had pictures of another couple. She knew the couple from a long time ago. They were kind hearted people and she missed them everyday.
The man was tall and skinny. He was around his early thirties. His hair was jet black and wet. It was nicely combed back for the picture. He had his arm around the woman. He was wearing a tux and a white shirt with a black bow tie.
The woman wasn’t as tall as the man. She was actually up to his chin. She held the man’s hand which hung over her shoulder. She had dark brown hair, which was pinned at the sides. She was wearing a beautiful dark red dress.
Millie couldn’t look at the picture for too long. She hated the fact that she knew that she wasn’t ever going to see them alive again. She had to get out of there. She walked into the kitchen and sat down at the little, round table. She could smell the sweet smell of French toast. The smell made her mouth water.
Jane was at the oven and she had a plate of two slices of French toast. She had one more in the pan. She was waiting to flip it. She looked over at Millie and smiled. “I know it’s a little late to be eating because supper has to be cooked in a couple of hours, but I’m in the mood for French toast....”
Millie kind of laughed.
“Do you want some? I could give you what I already made and I could make some more for myself.”
Millie went to answer but Jane had already had the third one on the plate and placed it in front of her. It was a good thing that Millie was hungry. “Thank you.”
“Oh no problem.” Jane sat the butter and syrup on the table. She handed a knife and fork to Millie. “You can pour as much syrup as you like and I don’t know how much butter you use.... Oh and don’t tell Tom.”
Millie went to ask why but Jane cut her off.
"I told him that I was on a diet...."
Millie gave Jane a funny look. She didn’t understand why Jane would even want to go on a diet. Jane was as skinny as she was. She wasn’t too skinny but she wasn’t fat at all. Millie always found that to be strange in the human race. She never understood how someone so skinny could say that they were fat, when in reality, they weren’t fat at all. She noticed that only the human woman would say that but the human men didn’t really seem to care.
“I know I shouldn’t be eating this, but I don’t care, and I woke up late.”
Millie looked around as if to say that wasn’t what she was thinking but she didn’t want to speak. She decided to talk about something else. “I noticed that picture of my parents,” she said as she spread the butter on the French toast. “I remember that day.... It was they’re anniversary.”
Jane turned to face Millie. “We miss them. They were good people.”
“You and Tom know that, but everyone else seen them as monsters.... Like they see us.”
Jane could see the pain written on Millie’s face. She felt so bad. “You werewolves aren’t monsters no matter what they say.... They watch too many scary movies.” She smiled at Millie. “How’s your brother doing?”
“Shawn’s doing good. He can kind of act like an idiot at times but you’ve got to love him.” Millie returned the smile.
Kyle leaned against a brick wall of a little store. He watched as people walked by or cars drive past him. He had been looking for Millie but decided to take a break. He looked everywhere for her but didn’t find her. He went to where he knew she usually would wind up at but she wasn’t there. He was out of ideas. He wanted to see his girlfriend and make sure that she was alright. He missed her.
Christina stood in front of him. She could tell that he was another wolf and she smiled. “Tell me, wolf,” she asked him, “where’s the rest of your pack?”
Kyle was shocked at first and then he started growling. “I’m not going to tell you,” he answered. He knew better than to tell an enemy where the others were.
“Well, that’s too bad.” Christina pulled out a whistle and Kyle stopped growling.
Kyle knew what she was but he didn’t think that she would try to turn him against the pack.
“Anything?.... No?” She brought the whistle close to her mouth, but before she could use it, Millie had jumped her.
Millie stood up growling at the dog-witch. Christina could see Millie’s fangs, which were starting to grow. “Stay away from my boyfriend. Stay away from my pack, you tramp. You go from town to town looking for dogs and bats to do your dirty work. You’ve come to the wrong town,” as Millie spoke, she growled. She was showing Christina that she was messing with the wrong pack.
Christina laid on the ground, looking up at the ticked off wolf. She could tell by Millie’s behavior that Millie was the leader and she knew that the only way to get a pack of wolves on her side was to start with the leader.
Millie turned her attention to Kyle. “Let’s get out of here.”
“Good idea.”
Kyle and Millie left Christina laying in the middle of the icy road.
Champ's FearKat was walking through the town, she couldn’t believe what she had done. She pulled the whistle out of her pocket and looked at it. She placed it back in her pocket. She was trying to decide if she had made the right choice. She wanted to get Champ back, but had she chosen the wrong path?
Lacy had walked out from a corner and seen Kat. She walked over to the cat shape-shifter. At first, she didn’t like Kat, but the more they hung out the more they became friends. “What’s up?” she asked.
Kat had to collect her thoughts. She kind of wanted to tell Lacy what she had done, but decided not to because she felt like a traitor and Lacy was now her best friend. She faked a smile. “Nothing much.”
Lacy could sense that something wasn’t right. “What’s wrong, Kat?”
Kat didn’t want to answer. She didn’t want to tell Lacy what she had done. It was a terrible thing that she had done. She felt so horrible. “Nothing.”
Lacy could tell that something was wrong, even though Kat told her that nothing was wrong. “Are you sure?”
“Yea.” Kat pretended to laugh. “Look, I have to be some where’s okay?”
“Okay.” Lacy didn’t believe Kat. Kat didn’t want to tell her what was going on.
“See ya.” Kat walked away.
Lacy wanted to find out what was going on. Kat was kind of acting weird.
Millie and Kyle walked into Jean’s house. Millie didn’t want to be there, but she did want to be with her pack.
Jean sat in the dinning room with Wagner. They were playing a game of Sorry.
“Jean, is it okay if Millie can use your phone? She has to call someone,” Kyle asked.
“Yea. Go ahead.”
“Oh yea.... And she’s also going to stay here too.... Is that a problem?”
“No. You can stay, Millie, and the phone’s hanging up on the wall next to the fridge.”
Millie didn’t say anything she just walked into the kitchen and picked up the phone. She listened for the dial tone and then dialed the number. She listened to the ringing and looked around the little kitchen. She noticed a back door which led to a porch.
She heard a voice on the other line. “Hello.”
“Tom, I’m going to be staying at Jean’s for a while with my pack.”
“Oh.... Okay thanks for letting me know.” She could tell from the way that he spoke that he was smiling and that made her smile a little. He was like the father, who she had lost.
“Thank you for letting me stay there for the night and tell Jane I said, 'thanks' as well.” Even though, Tom and Jane couldn’t really replace her parents, Millie still seen them as if they were her mother and father.
“Alright. I’ll do that. Bye, Millie.”
“Bye, Tom.” She hung up the phone and looked down at the floor. She didn’t want to be at Jean’s house, but she was. She was there for her pack. She would do what she felt was good for her pack. Although, Tom and Jane were nice people, they’re house didn’t have room for them. She didn’t do things for herself, she did things for the pack and that’s what made her a good leader.
Lacy walked into the bookstore and noticed that Champ had taken over the computer. “I ran into your girlfriend,” she said as she made her way over to him.
Champ sighed. He didn’t bother to look at her, but Lacy could sense that there was something wrong.
“What’s....”
“I broke up with her,” he answered before Lacy could finish the question.
She figured that was what Kat didn’t want to tell her. She couldn’t believe that Champ had broken up with Kat. “You broke up with her? Why did you do that for?” she asked, mad.
Champ looked at Lacy with wide-eyes.
“You two were a perfect couple, besides the fact that you’re a wolf and she’s a cat, but still.... You know all of us were starting to like her....” Lacy had to pause. “Well, except for Millie, but Millie doesn’t like anyone.” She had to pause again. “You two love each other.”
“I didn’t brake up with her because I wanted to,” Champ admitted to Lacy. “There’s a dog-witch in town.”
“You think that Kat would betray you.... I don’t think that she would....”
“No, I don’t want to betray her.... Once that whistle sounds, we’ll be in a trance, and I don’t want to hurt her.... I did it to protect her.... I didn’t want too, but I wanted to protect her.”
Lacy seen where he was coming from and she had to agree. She had forgotten that there was a dog-witch in town until Champ had reminded her.
