Authors Note: I do not own Shiver or any of the characters. I am merely a person who makes up stories about the characters and plots made up by real authors that get paid for writing.

I apologize for the length. They chapters will get longer. I'm just really sick so i don't have a long enough attention span at the moment. Read, review, and enjoy!

"Sam?" Grace called into the woods. She had thought she could hear him, in wolf form of course, walking around in the snow outside her window, no doubt trying to catch a peek at her changing. She could tell he wasn't very happy about the new blinds her mother had gotten her last weekend.

When he did not come out, she retreated into her warm house. After meeting Sam in his human form, she had gotten accustomed to leaving her house very hot. She tried leaving it freezing cold one weekend while her parents were away. After Sam had turned back into his wolf form, she had wanted to go out and be with him. She still cursed her father for leaving her in the car that one hot day. Had he not, she could have been with Sam, always, no matter what.

Grace and Sam had a very special relationship no matter what form he was in. She often went outside while her parents were not home, just to look for his eyes.

She hadn't seen Sam for a couple weeks now. Who knows where he was. She was too afraid to go out in the woods by herself. She only trusted a few of the wolves. She knew Shelby hated her; with a capital 'h,' of course. Shelby hated the idea of Sam and Grace being together. She had always had it in her mind that they should be together.

Whenever Grace went outside and didn't see Sam, she saw Shelby. She could not figure out what exactly had happened, but she knew Sam not being around had something to do with the she-wolf. Unfortunately, when Shelby had been shot, inside Grace's house, nonetheless, she had not been killed. She had been in her wolf form so she had healed very quickly.

She decided that the next time she saw Shelby she was going outside to talk to her about Sam. She had to know what was going on.

Please read and review. any comments and suggestions are GREATLY appreciated. I often go on humungous writeers block rants. so any ideas for the next chapter people? I'm only continuing if I get 5 reviews with idea. Mwahahah. So lets get going! - not trying to sound mean!
