He could see the anger in her eyes. “About what? How to harm us?” Her voice was starting to shake with anger.

“No,” he replied, “Millie, we used to be friends. What happened?”

“What happened?” she repeated. “You were there, you know.”

“No, I wasn’t.”

“Yes, you were. That day, ten years ago.... Ten years ago, my parents were killed by your kind. And you just watched. You didn’t do anything about it.” Millie’s eyes were starting to tear up as she talked about that day. As she spoke, Lee could hear the pain in her voice over the anger that she had. “If we were friends, you would of done something. You would have at least tried to stop those humans. Now, me and Shawn are orphans. All because you didn’t stop them. All humans are the same. I’m told that we have to hide our faces now when we walk into town because of what we are. But that cat shape-shifter.... That cat shape-shifter gets to roam around. I don’t hide what I am. I know what I am. You humans can deal with it.... Or I will attack.”

Lee took a minute before saying anything. He knew that Millie had a reason to be ticked off, but he hadn’t done anything wrong, so he didn’t want her to keep blaming him for something that wasn’t his fault. “Millie.... You’re wrong. I wasn’t there that day. My mom had me and my sister stay in the house while she and my dad left. If I were there, I would of tried to stop them, but I wasn’t and I had no clue until later what happened that day. I know you’re mad about that but.... Don’t go around blaming everyone. Now, I have come here for a book and that’s it.”

Shawn walked over to them and took off the headphones. He was kind of surprised to see Lee. “Hey, Lee. What’s up?”

“Nothing much. Shawn, do know if Lacy has a boyfriend yet?”

“No, she don’t. Why? Do you like her?”

“Yea.”

Shawn and Lee walked over to a bookshelf. They were joking about different things and talking about whatever. Millie was sitting behind the counter, thinking about what Lee told her. At one time, they were friends, but after her and Shawn’s parents were beaten to death, they lost that friendship. Shawn still got along with the humans, but Millie lost respect for them.

Millie had seen only the negative things in the humans. She had never seen the positive in them. She didn’t believe that they could be good. She pushed Lee out of her trust. After what happened to her parents, she couldn’t trust humans. She just couldn’t. There was truth to what she told Lee, but there was also truth to what he told her.

She blamed him, but it wasn’t his fault. He really wasn’t there that day, but she just wanted someone to blame. She wanted a human to blame. She could trust her own kind, but no one else. If they weren’t lycans, then they weren’t trustworthy. She still hated the fact that she had to work with Kat to stop Doctor O’Nail. Her enemy, who she hated the most, had to be her ally. Life had a funny way of ticking her off sometimes. Actually, most of the time. Millie hated that.

She blamed him, but it wasn’t his fault. He really wasn’t there that day, but she just wanted someone to blame. She wanted a human, to blame. She could trust her own kind, but no one else.

Life had a funny way of ticking her off sometimes. Actually, most of the time. Millie hated that.

If the humans didn’t kill her parents, then her father would still have been the leader of the pack. His wish when he was still alive was that when something happened to him and his wife that Millie would take his place as leader. He would of wanted Shawn instead because he was his son, but he chose Millie because she was older and she would have had to take care of Shawn anyways.

Millie was stuck with the responsibility at a young age. She was seven-years-old, just a year younger than Wagner was now. Her childhood as a human was taken away from her. Champ, out of all the kids, should have been the leader. He was strong, he stood up for his pack, and he kept everything together.

There were times when Millie offered him the job as the pack leader, but each time he would refuse it. He refused because he didn’t feel worthy enough. To be a leader, you have to enforce the Lycan code that was something he couldn’t do.There were nine rules in the Lycan code. Each lycan was to go by them or suffer the consequences.

The nine rules in the code were:


1.) Lycans must not attack small, defenseless animals. If they do, then they must go three days without meat.

2.) Lycans must protect the human race. If they purposely let something bad happen to the humans, then they will have to get beaten.

3.) Lycans cannot attack humans. If they attack humans, then they are locked in their rooms, windows are barred on the outside so they can’t sneak out, another lycan will bring them their food, and they are followed to the bathroom.

4.) Lycans must stand up for each other. If they don’t, then they’ll get kicked out until they promise that won’t happen again.

 

 

5.) Lycans must follow the law of the humans. Whatever law, they break depends on what the humans decide for that law.

 

6.) Lycans can’t join in what the humans are doing. They can’t have party time. There’s no consequence if they break it. Honestly, none of the lycans understand why that’s even a rule.

7.) Lycans are allowed to have fun, but no parties. Basically six and seven are the same thing.

 

8.) Lycans have to stand up for the humans unless it deals with another lycan. If they don’t, then they’ll get beaten like in the second rule.

 

Now for the last rule in the code. It was the most important rule that every lycan should follow:

 

9.) Lycans cannot date outside of their species. They can date humans because of their human forms, but not different animal species, especially cats. If they do then they will be banished from the pack and their love will be put to death. Now for any lycan that knows about what’s going on and doesn’t tell, then they’ll be shunned for two whole weeks.

 

Shawn Meets Jack

In a dark, black room at the vet, Jack was walking around next to the animals that were all in cages. He walked over to a small, fat bulldog. He unlocked the cage, opened the door, and picked up the dog. He carried her to a table and sat her down. The dog was shaking in fear. Her big, black eyes watched him go to a counter and get some of his tools to work with. He picked up his clipboard that was laying on the counter along with a pen.  He turned to face the table with the little dog. An evil smile grew on his face as he walked over to the table. “Enjoying yourself, Mrs. Clampton?” he asked. “Let’s see your test results.” He looked down at the paper on the clipboard. “Well, it says that everything’s going good. You should be dead within the next day or two.”

Jean walked into the room with some paperwork. “I hate to bother you, sir, but Millie’s brother, Shawn, is here and he would like to talk to you about something. Do you want me to tell him to leave or what?”

“Um.... Send him to my office and tell him that I’ll be there in a little bit. Okay, Jean?”

“Yes, sir.” Jean walked out of the room.

“I’ll finish the test on you later,” he said, picking up the dog, and carried her back to her cage. He put her in the cage, closed the door and locked it.  He walked over to the door and turned off the lights. He left the room, closing the door behind him.

 

 

In Doctor O’Nail’s office, Shawn was waiting for Jack to show up. He noticed a mirror and seen a white doctor coat on a chair in the office. He got an idea. He took the coat, put it on, and went over to the mirror. He cleared up his throat. “Hi, I’m Doctor Jack O’Nail. I should be put in the nut house because I am not sane. Yes, I’m insane. I’m pretty stupid. I act like I know what I’m doing, but I really don’t.... I was also put in jail for....”

By that time, Jack was in the room. He cleared his throat to where Shawn could hear him. Shawn shut up and turned to face Jack, who was ticked off and had his arms folded. “So, you’re making in fun of me?” Jack asked, eyeing Shawn.

“Ah.... No, I’m not. See if I was making fun of you.... I would of done that because I know you, but I don’t know you so I wasn’t making in fun of you.”

“You’re making in fun, of me.”

“No.... I’m not.”

“Take off my coat, put it back on the chair and get away from the mirror.”

“Okay.” Shawn did what Jack said.

Jack sat down on the chair behind his desk.

“Aren’t you going to ask me to sit down?”

Jack looked at Shawn like why should I?

“Isn’t that what people ask when they’re talking business?”

“Yea, but you can stand after making in fun of me.”

Shawn’s mouth dropped. “I wasn’t making in fun of you, dude.... I swear.”

Jack shook his head.

“Look.... I do that to everyone that I eat.” Shawn realized what he said. “I mean meet.”

“So you’re planning on eating me?”

“Well, the whole town knows that we’re....” He had to make sure that no one was listening, and in a whisper, “Werewolves....”

“If everyone knows, then why are you whispering?”

“Because I’m not like my sister.... I don’t want to get killed by those people.”

“Really?”

“Yea.... And I didn’t mean that I wanted to eat you. I couldn’t eat you if I wanted to.”

“Why’s that?”

“It’s part of the lycan code, not allowed to harm humans.”

“Really?” Jack was interested. He could destroy them easily with the fact that they couldn’t attack him. He could take them out one at a time.

“Yea. The only way we can actually attack a human is if they’re evil.”

“Well, you can trust me.” Jack faked a smile.

Shawn knew that smile was fake in Jack’s words. He knew that Jack couldn’t be trusted and he gave him a warning without actually warning him.

“Look, kid.... I’ve got to work. Can you come back some other time?”

“Sure.” Shawn left the room.

Jack took a deep breathe. “Finally, he’s gone.”

 

 

Later, Shawn was walking around the town, when he seen the most beautiful human girl walk past him. He turned to face her. “Ann?” he asked.

She turned to see who was behind her. She seen Shawn. She thought that he was very handsome and she smiled
