What Goes Around Comes Around

Millie growled and then made her way up stairs to attack Vickey. Revenge was coming. Everyone watched to see what Millie was going to do. Vickey knew that she was in trouble. "You think that we won't attack you?" Millie asked.
Vickey backed into the other room. She was actually frightened. She looked around for something to hit Millie with. She found a rusty old wrench and she went to hit Millie with it, but the lycanthrope knocked it out of her hands, then Millie had used her left arm to knock Vickey into the wall.
Vickey held her left arm, which was drenched with blood. She tried to move it but it pained her. She had tears streaming down her face. Millie had broken her arm. Vickey tried to crawl out of the room, when Millie grabbed her right leg. She looked at Millie's eyes and realized that the wolf had a glazed look.
Millie had blacked out.
"HELP!" Vickey cried. "HELP!" she was in so much pain, and she knew that she couldn't fight back. There was no use. "HELP! SOMEONE, PLEASE, HELP!"

Human Blood

Millie yawned as she sat up in her bed. She was glad that she didn't have to deal with Christina anymore. Actually, she had remembered everything up 'til Christina was dead forever. No way that she could ever come back, because Millie eaten the dog whistle in order to destroy it. Millie rubbed her face with her hand and that was when she could smell the scent of human blood on her hand. She jumped out of her bed and ran out of her room.


Lacy was almost to the stairs, when Millie jumped in front of her. Millie was actually freaking out. "Lacy, what happened last night?" Millie asked, worried.
"Um.... Why?" Lacy asked. She remembered what happened, but didn't want to tell Millie. She knew how Millie had blacked out and what Millie had done.
"Because.... I have human blo---" Millie paused and thought about a terrible thing. "Did I murder Tom and Jane?" She was braking down into tears.
Lacy's eyes grew wide. She was shocked that Millie would ask that. "No.... No.... They're safe at home. You can call them if you want."
Millie took a breath. Relief took over. "Okay. Then what happened? Why do I have human blood on my hands?"
Lacy sighed. "I'm not the one who should tell you." She went down the stairs, leaving Millie standing at the top of the stair case.


Millie walked into the kitchen. Kyle, Shawn, Champ, and James were standing over by the back door. They were lost in their own conversation. "What happened last night? Why do I have human blood on my hands?" she asked.
The guys stopped talking and turned their attention to Millie.
"What happened?"
"You blacked out," James said, after waiting a moment.
"What happened when I blacked out? What did I do?"
"Something none of us would of done."
"And that is...."
"You killed Vickey," Kyle replied.
Millie looked over at Kyle.
"And we let you.... She was a threat to us and the human race.... We're not aloud to harm humans, but she was evil."
Millie thought about it and it made sense. Vickey got away with murdering her parents and if she hadn't she would of been on death row for manslaughter.
"We are to defend and protect the human race. Not kill them," James stated, "but we should do something if a human is as evil as she was. You stopped her."
"Does that mean that I'm going to get kicked out of my pack?"
"Well, it depends on what me and the council think. And we need to get going."


Millie and Kyle were outside of the council room, waiting for someone to get them again. "I did a horrible thing.... I don't care much about being leader, but I don't want to leave the pack."
"Don't worry," Kyle told her. "Everything's going to be okay."
"Easy for you to say.... You didn't kill anyone."
"Quit being such a pestimis. Think positive."
"But...."
"I don't want to hear anything negetive coming out of your mouth."


Twenty minutes had gone by, when Mikey finally walked out of the room. "You two can go in. They're waiting for you."
"Okay. Thanks."
"No problem."


Kyle closed the door as Millie walked into the middle of the room. Like the last time, Colla stood up. She took a deep breath. "Millie, the leader of the wolf pack from Westfield, Massachuttes, are you aware of why you are here?" she asked.
Millie looked up at James then back to Colla. "Yes."
"Then you understand that's because of how you changed the code without consulting us and the murder of Vickey Anderson?"
"Yes, ma'am." Millie didn't try to protest because she knew it was true.
"Okay.... We looked at your new code and we decided to keep it. The older one was out dated anyways.... Now, we understand that you had blacked out when fighting.... And that you don't remember what happened.... We decided that you can stay in your pack, and we're not going to remove you from the role of the pack leader...."
Millie and Kyle were both shocked. They didn't understand why.
"You see, at one point and another, each of us older wolves had blacked out and killed a human who was a threat, not only to us, but the human race.... I, myself, and your uncle.... He actually did that to two humans, who had helped Vickey attack your parents.... That was a couple of hours after your parents were pronounced dead."
Millie looked over at James. The night at the grave yard played in her head. He was telling them sorry, when she had arrived. He was telling the lifeless bodies of her parents sorry.
"If it were any other reason, we'd have you thrown out.... It's in our nature to protect and that's what you had done.... You did what you had to.... We're proud of you for that."
"Thank you."
"You can go now."

Truce

Millie and Kyle were almost home, when they ran into Lacy, Lee, Champ, and Kat.
"What's the news?" Lacy asked, hoping to hear good news.
"I get to stay in the pack and I'm still going to be the pack leader," Millie answered.
"That's great." Champ smiled.
Millie looked over at Lee. She took a breath and held out her hand. "Look, Lee.... I know that we have our differences, but I was wrong.... I would like to call a truce with you and your sister.... I despised you two because of your parents and your aunt.... They gave me a reason to hate you guys.... Not all humans are as bad as I said.... It took a six-year-old and her mother to remind me of that..... I blamed all of you humans for what they did and I shouldn't do that.... So, truce?"
Lee smiled. He shook her hand. He never thought that the day would come when Millie would actually try to be kind to a human. "Truce."
That was the first time in almost eleven years that Millie felt better about the humans. She could see the good and bad instead of just the bad.
"What about me?" Kat asked.
Millie raised an eyebrow. "Ah.... No."
Kat dropped her mouth as Kyle and Millie made their way home.
