Letter Brings Anger

Lacy set the letter on the little table next to the stair case. She had resealed the letter so that Millie wouldn’t know that her and Shawn had read it. She knew that Millie wasn’t going to be happy about getting a letter from the wolf council.
Shawn had left. He had gone to meet Ann, who was now his girlfriend. They had to meet in secret along with Lee and Lacy because her parents didn’t like the wolf pack as a matter of fact they were part of the attack against Millie and Shawn’s parents.
Lacy walked into the kitchen and pulled the turkey to let it defrost. She laid it in the sink and went ahead to get the potatoes out and started pealing them. Champ and Kyle walked in the back door. She looked over at them then brought her eyes back down to the potato which she held in her hand which was half pealed. “What are you two doing back so early?” she asked. “I thought that you two were going to help Tom with moving snow from his drive way.”
“We were, but he told us to go back tomorrow and finish,” Kyle answered. “He dropped us off.”
“Oh.”
Kyle and Champ walked out of the room.


Millie walked in the front and took off her coat and placed it on the coat rack. She noticed the letter which was laying on the table. She picked it up and noticed that someone had opened it then re-closed it. She carried the letter into the kitchen. “Lacy,” she said, kind of mad, “who read this letter that was for me?”
Lacy didn’t look up. She knew that she was busted. She should of never listened to Shawn. “ I don’t know,” she lied.
“Well,” Millie said, she knew who it was, “this person must be a perfectionist like someone in this room.”
Lacy knew that Millie knew who it was and she couldn’t keep it in any longer. “Me and Shawn.... We won’t do it again.... I promise.”
Millie rolled her eyes. “Whatever.” She opened the envelope and pulled out the letter. She read it and the words made her angry. She laid the letter on the table and picked up a chair, kind of throwing it. She left the room.


Millie slammed the door to her bedroom. She picked up a book and threw it across the room. She picked another book and threw it at a wall. She picked up the jewelry box that Jean had bought her for Christmas and she was going to throw it, but she didn’t. She looked at it and just placed it back on the dresser. “I can’t believe that I have to go talk to that stupid wolf,” she told herself.
She was angry with one of the members of the wolf council and didn’t want to deal with him. She threw herself on her bed and screamed into her pillow.
                                       ******
“What’s wrong with Millie?” Stina asked as her and Wagner sat at the kitchen table. They could hear as Millie threw things and her screaming and yelling.
“She got a letter from the wolf council,” Lacy answered. She took the colander which had all of the pealed potatoes and rinsed them in the sink.
“Oh does that mean that J....”
Lacy had dropped what she was doing and ran over to Stina, covering her mouth with her hand. “Don’t say his name. Millie doesn’t like him and if you say his name you now that she’ll kill you.”
“But why? He’s her....”
Lacy covered Stina’s mouth again. “Just don’t.... Okay, Stina?”
Stina nodded.
Lacy moved her hand from Stina’s mouth. “Go outside or something. Okay.”
Stina stood up and left the room.
“Who was Stina talking about?” Wagner asked.
“No one you know.... So don’t worry about it okay.”


Kat was glad that she was dating Champ again. She wasn’t going to betray him again. She knew better and she wasn’t going to let anyone like Christina tell her any different. She smiled as the cool air hit her face.
“Where are you going?” Champ asked as he grabbed her hand and pulled her closer to him so he could hug her.
She smiled. “I was just walking around.”
“By yourself?” he joked. “It’s dangerous. You can slip and break your bones.”
“Awe.... And you make it sound so fun.”


Shawn and Ann were hanging out in the bookstore. They were eating cheeseburger grinders and they shared a large Dr. Pepper.
Ann was thinking about something that was really bothering her. “Does Millie have a problem with me?”
“Well, she has a problem with anyone who’s not one of us.... Don’t worry about it. That’s just how she is.”
“Okay.”


Millie laid on her bed, looking up at the ceiling. She didn’t want to go talk to the council. She’d rather stay home and deal with the humans than deal with the council. It was important though. She had no choice but to go. She had to leave this Friday so she could get back faster. She had to decide who she was going to bring with her.

Christina's Back & Ready for Revenge

Millie stopped in front of an old elementary school. She closed her eyes and when she opened them the snow had vanished and flowers started sprouting up from the ground. It had changed from winter to spring. Children came running out of the school excited that school was out for summer. Parents were getting out of their cars and waited for their children. Some of the children were getting on school buses to go home.
A few of the children, Young Millie and the other young cubs from the pack, walked out to the play ground. They were waiting for the older wolves to pick them up. That was the time before Millie hated the humans.
The Young Millie fell to the ground, laughing because of something that Young Champ had said. “That was funny.” She tried to stop laughing.
“Come on, Millie,” her brother said, holding out a hand to help her up.
“What are you stupid dogs up to?” Young Kat asked.
“What do you want?” Young Kyle asked.
“Well, I see that Millie can’t keep her feet on the ground.”
The Young Millie stopped laughing and growled at the young cat. Millie and Kat never got along, they were always enemies. The young, little human boy, Lee, rushed over to help Young Kyle and Young Champ to brake up the fight.
“Please don’t fight?” Young Lee asked.
“Yea, you’re going to get in trouble,” Young Champ told them.
Young Lacy curled up into a ball. “I don’t want to get in trouble.”
“It’s okay, Lacy,” Young Kyle told her. "You’re not going to get in trouble.”
Young Stina, the youngest out of all of them, walked over to Lacy.  â€śDon’t cry.”
Now, two adults, Charlie and his wife, walked over to the children.
“Come on, kiddies,” Charlie said. “Time to go home.” He noticed that Young Kat and Young Millie were going to get into a fight. “Kelsey,” he whispered to his wife, “start walking the others home. I’ll have Millie with me.”
“Okay. Lacy, Stina, Champ, Kyle, and Shawn, come with me.” Kelsey motioned to the kids. “Lacy, your parents are at the bookstore. Okay.”
“Okay.” Lacy was wiping tears from her eyes. She had always hated it when other people fought.
“Oh hello, Lee,” Kelsey said as she smiled at the little boy.
“Hello.” He returned a smile. He seen this parents and ran over to them.
Kelsey and the five little cubs started walking away. Charlie stayed behind with Millie and Kat.
“Can you two, please, try to get along?” he asked them.
“Well, it’s hard to get along with cat shape-shifters, daddy,” Millie answered.
“She started it,” Kat lied.
“I don’t care who started it. Kat, I’ll walk you home and that way you two can talk and become friends.”
“No,” Millie said. She didn’t want to deal with the cat shape-shifter.
“No thank you,” Kat told Charlie, “I would rather walk home alone.” Kat started walking away.
“Okay, be careful,” Charlie told her. “Millie, you need to learn not to start....”
“I didn’t start a fight.... She lied.”
“I remember coming here,” Kyle said from behind Millie, bringing her back to reality.
Millie looked at him. “We have a council meeting to go to. I need you to come because I’m going to kill that wolf if you don’t.”
“I know and you need to keep away from him, he’s your....”
“Don’t say it. He’s dead to me as far as I care.”
Kyle nodded. “Okay, but you can’t kill the guy when you see him.”
“ And again, that’s why I need you there.”
“Okay.” Kyle took Millie in his arms and held her tight. “I love you, always and forever.”
“I love you too, always and forever.” Millie didn’t look up at him, she just leaned against his chest.


“Champ,” Millie said, looking up at him, “me and Kyle are going to leave tomorrow to head to the wolf council, I’m leaving you in charge, until we get back.”
“Okay.”
Millie knew that Champ was the best one to leave in charge, because he didn’t worry as much as Lacy, he wasn’t going to burn down the house like Stina did, and everyone took him seriously unlike Wagner and Shawn.


Tom and Jane were disappointed that Millie and Kyle had to leave even though they were going to come back a week later.
“We’re not,” Millie told them, kind of laughing.
“Yea, but we wanted to visit with you two along with the others to catch up,” Jane said with a smile.
“Well, just be careful,” Tom told them.
“Be careful,” Kyle laughed, “we’re lycans, we’ll be fine. Besides no one will harm us because of these puppies.” He flexed his arm to reveal his muscles.
“Says the guy who sleeps with a night light,” Millie laughed.
“Hey, I’m not afraid of the dark, I just like to be able to know where I’m walking in the dark. Okay.”
Everyone laughed.


                                   ******
The silver dog whistled started twitching in the snow. Something was trying to get out. A bright light came out from the whistle. The light started forming into a human shape. It was a woman. Christina was back. She was all beaten and her left arm was broken. She picked up the snow with her right arm and placed it on her broken arm.
It was a few seconds later when her arm healed. She picked up more snow and rubbed it on her bruises and everything healed. She was ticked off. “They
