out which wolf had a hatred for humans and others who weren't their kind. “Only a werewolf would do something that cruel to a human, if that wolf has a grudge against that person and it's usually a good reason.... So, why did Millie attack you?”
Vickey was shocked. She didn't understand how Christina had known that Millie had attacked her. She never mentioned it. She figured that Christina had been spying on them, which freaked her out.
Christina could see that Vickey was wondering how she had known that and how the question had made her feel uncomfortable. “You're wondering how I knew that.... It was a lucky guess. I've met Millie and her pack.... Now, what did you do?”
“I led a conspiracy against her parents and killed them both,” the human admitted.
Christina smiled. She knew that she had the right victim. She figured that using Vickey would give her a distraction to keep the wolves away from her real plan.
Vickey was also glad to know that she could use Christina as her shield against the wolves. She needed someone to use against the wolves, while she was planning their deaths. She didn't want to do the same thing that she had done to Millie's parents.
Neither one knew what the other was thinking and that they were just using each other.


Millie had locked up the bookstore, business wasn't good for them. It felt to them that they would walk out of the store with less than they walked in with. Not that someone would steal what they had it just felt like that to them. No one would steal from them, heck no one was stupid enough to steal from a pack of wolves.
James and Kyle walked ahead of Millie. She let them walk about 10 feet away from her. When they were a good distance away, she snuck off. James and Kyle were too busy talking that they didn't realize that Millie was gone.


Millie walked into the woods and sat on a tree stump. She closed her eyes and another flashback begin to play in her head. She opened her eyes and seen the old cottage. Again the snow had vanished. It was summer time. Charlie and Kelsey were standing on the porch. James and his little girlfriend had shown up.
“Charlie, Kelsey, this is my girlfriend, Vickey,” James introduced her. “My brother and his wife,” he told Vickey.
“Oh.... It's nice to meet you,” she lied. Millie noticed the look in the woman's eye, even if it was a flashback. She wished she had known and done something then.
Millie should of known then that Vickey was wicked and evil. She could of warned her parents. She was too young, even for a young wolf, to understand the difference between good and evil. Vickey had worn a mask of peace and love, but deep down inside she was as evil as the devil. A wolf in woman's clothing.... The real monster. She only wanted violence and death to those who weren't humans. She had revealed her true identity to them after that one cruel night.
“My brother's told us so much about you,” Charlie said, smiling.
Young Millie had walked out and looked at Vickey. She didn't know who that human was. She had never seen her before.
“And who would this be?” Vickey asked as she bent down to see eye to eye with the child.
“This is my niece, Millie,” James answered.
The Young Millie step back. She was shy and nervous when it came to meeting new people. Now that she was older she was cautious and showed her strength to anyone new, it didn't matter who or what they were.
“Good idea,” Millie stated as she watched herself slowly walk away from Vickey. “She's evil.... Keep walking away,” she told herself even though she knew that her young self couldn't hear or see her. “She's evil.”
The little wolf walked behind her father and kind of peeked out. She was kind of afraid of Vickey.
“It's okay, I'm not going to hurt you,” Vickey reassured. Millie eyed the woman, knowing that she would hurt her parents.... The human hadn't hurt her physically, but mentally by killing her father and mother.
“No.... Don't believe her.... She's lying.... Don't trust her....”
The young wolf walked out out from behind her dad and walked over to Vickey. The child held out her hand and then walked over to Vickey. She was hesitant but she eventually shook Vickey's hand.
“NOOO!!!” Millie cried. “SHE'S EVIL!” She forced herself to stop the flashback. She remembered that day and it was one of the days which she never forgotten as she grew older. She stood up and ran.


James and Kyle were almost to the cottage. “Well, I'm ashamed of your....” James turned and noticed that Millie wasn't there. “Where is Millie? She was behind us.... Where did she go?”
“Maybe she forgot something,” Kyle answered.
James ignored Kyle's comment. He was ticked off. “I'm suppose to keep an eye on her at all times.” He walked away from the house.
Kyle stood there, he knew that Millie was in trouble. He had to get to her before James did and he knew where she had to be. It was the one place where she would go when she wasn't in the mood to be around anyone, including her own kind.


Millie was standing in a grave yard. She stood in front of two graves. The one to her left had read on the tombstone:

R.I.P. Charlie Chris Wolf
Beloved father and husband
Good friend and Great Leader
Of his pack
1964-1998

The tombstone too her right had read:

R.I.P Kelsey Ally-Raye Wolf
Beloved mother and wife
Good friend and Role-Model
Of her pack
1972-1998

Millie closed her eyes to keep the tears from falling. “Why did you two have to die? She was evil and no one knew.”
She opened her eyes and another flashback started to play in her head. She was back at her house. She was inside with James and they were sitting on the couch. He was reading a story to her. It was one of her favorite stories as a child. They had heard someone trying to open the door.
“Stay here,” James told Millie. He stood up and walked out of the room.
The little girl had disobeyed her uncle. She stood up and walked over behind a wall then took a peak to see what was going on. She watched as James opened the door and her mother, all beaten, walked in carrying her injured father. Kelsey couldn't hold herself and Charlie up. She dropped her husband on the ground, then she had fallen down. The weight of her husband and herself had been to much for her. Werewolves were stronger than humans, whether male or female, but like humans if they were injured bad enough or weak from being sick, then all the strength they had would be gone.
“Humans are the monsters,” Millie replied.
The little wolf ran over to her mommy and daddy. “Get up,” she cried. “GET UP!”
Charlie was pasted out, but he wasn't dead yet. Kelsey used the little energy, she had left to push herself up. “Baby,” she told her little girl, “I want you to go to your room, please.” She couldn't even keep herself up.
“But, mommy....”
“Millie,” James said, “go to your room.”
“You're not my boss....”
“Millie,” Charlie said as he opened his eyes. He could barely speak. “Listen to.... You're uncle....” His voice kept cutting on and off as if someone was playing with the volume on his voice box. “He's going.... To be in.... Charge.... For a while.... Be good.” His eyes closed again. It wasn't hard to tell that he was in so much pain.
The tears came streaming down Millie's cheeks. She knew what was next. The next flashback played. It wasn't long later. James and her had walked down the stairs. She ran over to her father.
“Daddy, wake up,” she said, crying.
He kind of opened his eyes as he took the child's hand. He was laying on the couch. He knew that he wasn't going to make it, but he didn't want to tell his young daughter that. He faked a smile, because he didn't want to see her cry. “Millie, if something happens to me and your mom.... You're in charged of the pack....”
“Don't speak like that, daddy.” She wanted to believe that everything was going to be alright. That her mommy and daddy would wake up and get better. She didn't want to hear the word if. If meant that they wouldn't make it. She may not have knew much, but she knew from the way her father said the words If something happens it wouldn't be long and if would soon become when. It was too much for the child.
“Don't worry about us, though.... We'll be alright.” He looked up at the ceiling and his eyes closed. He had gone into a deep sleep, which he would never wake up from.
Young Millie felt the coldness in his dead hand as it started to freeze as if he was ice from the freezer. “No.... Daddy, wake up.”
James knew that Millie didn't understand what had just happened, but he knew that his brother and sister-in-law had taken their last breaths. He hadn't told Millie that Kelsey had died a few minutes earlier. Some how, Charlie, had lived a little longer so he could have a chance to tell Millie about her taking his place. It was the one thing he wanted to do before he was gone.
“Millie,” a motherly voice had said. It was a sweet voice, one which she knew from her past, which brought warmth into Millie's heart.
Millie looked up as the flashback ended to see her dead parents. They were as bright as day. She squinted to look at them. They were humans and no one could tell that when they were alive they were cursed to roam as werewolves. “Mom? Dad?” she asked. The tears came back.
Kelsey and Charlie smiled as they looked upon their daughter.
“You two look like angels.” She was amazed and couldn't believe her eyes.
“Well, when we died, we were blessed with new bodies,” Kelsey replied, keeping her smile.
“That's right and because we're Christians,” Charlie agreed, “and we know the truth about how God sent his only son to earth to die for our sins and we accepted Christ into our lives, we live in heaven.”
“Why did you two have to go? Why did you two have to die because of those evil humans?” Millie asked, tears were streaming down her cheeks.
“Millie, don't be so hard on yourself.... We know that you blame yourself, but you were young and it wasn't your fault.”
Millie did blame herself for the death of her parents because she couldn't help them, but she made sure that the humans and James had the blame as well. “But....”
“Don't worry,” her father smiled, “we're here to warn you.” Charlie lost his smile. “Vickey's looking to continue what she started with us. If you don't stop her, then the pack and all of the others are doomed.”
Millie's eyes kind of closed. She knew that Vickey had shown up for a reason.
Kyle stood against a tree and watched as Millie talked to her parents. It would give them some quality time that Millie needed with her parents even though they were dead. It wouldn't be right for him to ruin the moment. If he were a human, he would of thought that Millie was crazy because she was talking to herself, but because he was another wolf, he could see the spirits as well. He listened as they talked and waited for the right
