looked over at Millie. Shawn and Lacy had to turn around. They waited for Millie to get on with what she was going to say.

“We’ll be wolves. It’s that time. And it’ll be Halloween.... I know that I’m going to be in danger but I’m going to get a shot from Doctor O’Nail. I’m suffering. Shawn, when I die.... You’ll be in charge.”

Kyle, Lacy, and Shawn couldn’t believe what she was saying. She was the leader of the pack. One of the most important wolves in the group, but she was willing to give it all up.

Kyle stood up from his seat and walked over to Millie. “Are you feeling okay?” he asked, placing his hand on her forehead.

“I feel fine.”

“Millie, you can’t do that.” Shawn was shocked by his sister's words. “I can’t lose you. Not now.... What am I going to do without you?” He shook his head, trying to make since out of what he just heard. “Before dad died, he told you.... With his last few breaths, he told you to be in charge. I told him that I was going to be behind you. I’m not going to let you decide that you want to suffer from that crazy.... Insane man.”

“I know, Shawn....” She lost eye contact with Shawn. “But I made up my mind.” She looked back at him.

They could see the sadness in each other’s eyes. Shawn walked over to Millie and Kyle. Kyle moved out of his way so he could hug his sister. “Millie....” he whispered, sadness had taken over. “My sister.... I don’t want to lose you like we lost mom and dad.” He squeezed her as he started to cry.

She cried as well and didn’t want to let go of him. “I know.... But we all have to go sometime.”

“We all love you, Millie, and we don’t want to lose you.”

“I love you all to.... I’m ready.”

That cut him like a knife.... Knowing that his only sister was ready to die and she told him that. That only made him hug her even longer. The pain wasn’t going to leave.

Millie tried to free herself from his grip but Shawn wouldn’t let go. “You can let go of me, Shawn.”

“Not until you change your mind.”

“It’s too late.... I’ve made up my mind.”

Champ and Stina walked outside to see what was going on.

“Having a nice brother and sister moment?” Champ asked, noticing Shawn and Millie.

“He won’t let go.”

“She isn’t listening to me.” Shawn looked over at Champ.

Champ noticed that they both had been crying. “Shawn, let go of Millie.”

“Okay.” Shawn finally released Millie.

“Now, what’s going on?” Champ asked.

Millie explained everything to him but he couldn’t believe it at all. He was as shocked as the other three were.

“No.... No.... No.... You can’t, Millie. We need you.”

“I hope you like needles,” Stina said.

Everyone gave her a funny look.

“What? They use needles to give people shots.”

“Go inside, Stina.”

“But, Champ.”

“Go inside.”

“Fine.” Stina went back into the house, mad.

“She’s going to be okay.” Champ watched the door shut. “Millie, sit down.”

Millie walked over to a chair and sat down.

“Are you sure that you want to do that?”

“Yea.”

“Is there any possible way that we could change your mind?”

“No.... I’m ready to go.” She was dead serious.

Champ knew when she was joking around and he knew when she was serious. He looked into her eyes to see if she was joking, at least that was what he hoped for, but as he examined her face he knew.... He knew she meant it and there was nothing that he or anyone else could say to change her mind. He hugged her. “We really don’t want you to do this.” When he released Millie from the hug, he stood in front of her. She looked up at him.

Kyle moved over and sat next to Millie. “I really don’t want you to do this.” He was so heart broken. She was his world and she was going to take that from him.

Millie turned to face him. She noticed his sadness. “I’m sorry,” was all that she could say to them.

Jack's True Identity

The next day, Millie was in town. She was walking over to the vet’s office. She looked more wolf than human. She looked into the sky, noticing that it was a dark smokey gray color. She looked back at the town and seen people going into the stores or coming out of the stores with candy for the trick-or-treaters. Some parents had their little kids to get last minute costumes.

As she neared the vet’s office, Jean walked out and over to her. “What do you want?” Millie asked, bitterly.

“Doctor O’Nail wants to talk to you.”

“Where do you think that I’m going?” Millie asked, snapping at Jean. “To the homeless shelter?”

Jean was scared. “No. I was....”

Millie went to attack Jean but stopped herself. “I don’t care. Just don’t talk to me.”

“Okay.” Jean just stood there, shaking in fear.

Millie left and went to the vet’s office.

At the cottage, Lacy and Champ were on the computer, trying to find more information about Jack.

“Knock, knock, knock.” Someone had just walked into the room.

Lacy and Champ turned to see who it was. “Come on in, Kat,” Champ said, in a welcoming voice.

“Find anything?”

“Not yet.”

By this time, Lacy had went back to working on the computer. She read something that concerned her. “Uh-oh.”

Champ looked at Lacy. “What?”

She pointed at the screen. “It says that us werewolves will die as soon as the shot’s injected into our skin....”

Kyle was now in the room. He was standing in the door way. “We have to warn Millie.”

“I know....” Lacy read more. “Here’s something that she’s going to love.”

“What?” Champ asked.

“Our friend.... Doctor O’Nail isn’t human.”

“What is he?” Kyle asked.

Lacy turned to face them. “He’s a goblin.”

“Let’s go tell Millie.”

Back at the vet’s office, Millie was in the waiting room with five people who had pets. Jean walked into the room. “Kelly, Doctor O’Nail is ready for Mindy,” she told someone.

A young twenty-year-old woman stood up, holding a black cat. She followed Jean into another room.

Two hours later, Jean came out again and sat behind the counter. The women, one the other hand, never came out.

Millie was mad for no reason. “What’s taking Jack so long?” she asked.

“Calm down.” Jean didn’t want to fight with Millie. Mostly because she was afraid that Millie would kill her.

Millie stood up. “Calm down? I will not calm down.”

The door opened, Kyle walked up behind Millie and grabbed her shoulders. “Calm down, Millie. Breathe. Relax.”

“Fine.” Millie took a few breaths and Kyle let go of her.

“I have good news and bad news,” Kyle whispered.

“What’s the bad news?”

“The shot kills werewolves faster than humans.”

“How fast?”

“As soon as the shot is injected.”

“Okay. What’s the good news?”

“Jack’s not human.... He’s a goblin.”

Millie felt a smile growing. “Then I’ll fight him instead. What about Jean?”

“She’s human.”

Millie lost her smile. “Crap.... Oh well. I can kill Jack now.”

Kat walked in and walked over to Jean. “Can I talk to Doctor O’Nail?” she asked in her sweet, catty voice.

“I’m sorry.... He’s busy right now.”

“Okay. Do you know when he’ll be done?”

“Sorry, I don’t.”

“Okay. Thank you.” Kat walked away from Jean.

“Why’s she here?” Millie asked Kyle, rudely.

“She wanted to come.”

Kat walked over to them. “So, I’m getting a shot?” she asked Kyle.

“Yep.”

“I wanted Millie to die.” Kat was disappointed about that.

Millie shot Kat a dirty look and she wanted to attack the cat. She would of if Kyle wasn’t there to stop her.

“Too bad....” Kyle placed his arm around Millie. He smiled at her and Millie felt that anger towards Kat disappear and smiled at Kyle. “My girlfriend’s staying.”

Fighting Off Werewolves

A couple of minutes later, Jean left the room. Millie, Kyle, and Kat waited for Jean to come back out. As they waited, Kyle and Kat explained the plan to Millie. Millie nodded as she listened. After they explained it to her, she looked at her watch.

Three hours had flown by. Millie stood up from her seat and realized that they were the only ones there. Everyone else who had been there earlier, she didn’t remember watching them leave or go and follow Jean down that creepy hallway. So where did they go? They might of left but she wasn’t paying any attention.

She felt chills running down her back. She looked outside and realized that it was almost night. She turned to face Kyle and Kat. She noticed that Kyle was in his complete werewolf form. She felt her jaw.... She was a werewolf as well. Their sharp teeth were showing and it looked as if their teeth were too big to actually fit inside their mouths.

Jean walked out of the back room and was afraid to move at the sight of the two werewolves. “Um....” She had to think of what to say. “Doctor O’Nail is ready for you, Millie.”

“Finally,” Millie said, in a rude tone. She started walking towards Jean. “Come on, Kyle and, Kat.”

They followed Jean down the dark, creepy hallway. They stopped at a little room. “Doctor O’Nail will be there in a minute.” Jean walked away as the three of them walked into the room.

They waited in the room for three more hours. Finally, Jack came into the room. He was holding a needle. “Ready for the shot, Millie?” he asked, smiling devilishly.

“Change of plans.... I’m not getting the shot.” She pointed to Kat with one of her large claws. “She is.”

Jack was mad about the change, but he just smile and said, “Okay.”

He injected the shot into Kat and to make it seem real, she transformed into her cat form. She was a small, light brown cat with her blue-green cat eyes. She looked up at Jack.

Jack smiled, thinking that he had another victim.

“So, Jack, when do we get to see your true form?” Millie asked. Her head was kind of slouching down because of the transformation.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Really?” she asked, looking at Kyle then back to Jack. She knew he was lying by the way he spoke.

“Yea.”

“You goblins can fool humans, but you can’t fool us wolves.” Millie walked over to him, kind of sniffing him. “On the count of three you better run. One....”

“Two....” Kyle jumped in.

“Three.” Kat transformed back to her human form.

Jack knew he was in trouble. He started running. He ran out of the vet’s office and into the ally. Millie, Kyle, and Kat were chasing him.

When he got into the dark ally, the moon’s light had transformed
