Humans and Necklaces

Chapter One: Spies

Jazmine was laying in her backyard, in the shade of the big oak tree in the corner. She hadn't had a chance to sleep in the past five days and she was enjoying a nice nap outside. Though she was dozing she was aware of everything around her, including the two human boys staring at her from over the big privacy fence.

One of them was round and fat, his name was Devon. The other one was tall and skinny, his name was Corey. They were both starting to annoy Jazmine very much.

"Is it alive?" Devon asked.

"I don't know, it's not breathing." Corey said staring at Jazmine.

"Throw something at it."

"Why don't you?"

Devon paused. "Okay, I will." He whispered. He jumped down into his yard and found a good sized rock. He climbed back onto the fence and looked at Jazmine. She was daring him to through the rock at her, in fact, she was counting on it. She was a little hungry.

Devon aimed, pulled back his arm, and chunked the rock. Jazmine was up before the rock even hit her. She raced over to the boys and roared angrily. Devon and Corey screamed and fell off the fence. Jazmine jumped onto the fence. She growled at them and started too pounced all the way over when Vivien seemed to appear out of no where. "Jazmine, stop scaring the neighbors and come inside. Sasuke and Naruto are here, they want to see you." Vivien said pulling on Jazmine's tail. Jazmine stopped her angry growl and it became a rippling purr-like growl that soon stopped as well. She looked at the boys one last time, hissed, and jumped back onto her side of the fence.

The boys didn't move until they heard the girl's go inside and close the door. Corey got up on his wobbly legs and gasped. "That was the scariest thing I've ever seen . . . ." he croaked.

Devon nodded and then looked up at Corey. "Let's go get Amber! She has that cool new spy kit."

Corey stared at him. "Do you think that's very smart?" he asked. Devon got up and wobbled a little. "Not in the slightest but it sounds good, let's do it!"

Jazmine sat in her favorite chair. She was in her vampire form, Naruto, in his fox form, was sitting on her lap, Sasuke, who was in his vampire form, was sitting on the floor near the bay window, and Vivien, who was also in her vampire form, was sprawled out on the couch. Jazmine was a little tweaked about the neighbors throwing things at her so she wasn't saying much.

Jazmine and the others had just gotten a new house. It was bigger and closer to the dumpster so it wouldn't take long to get to Draxie, or for Draxie to get to them. They had kicked Henry out and he went back living in his apartment, Vicky was living in her apartment again, as well.

Jazmine's new house had two and a half floors, now. The attic was one big room, which had four beds, three dressers, and two desks in it. That was Daggorith's room. He usually had it too himself, but when someone came to stay the night they would usually sleep up there. Jazmine's room was the biggest room on the second floor. It was at the very end of the hall, with Naruto's room to the right and Sasuke's room to the left, facing each other. Vivien and Vixie's room was right next to Sasuke's room and the bathroom was across the hall from their room, next to Naruto's room. Shay and Rachel had the master bedroom downstairs.

"Jazmine! I'm talking to you!" Sasuke growled at her. Jazmine snapped back into reality. "Huh?" she said focusing in on him. Sasuke rolled his eyes. "I said, we have a few spies." He gestured behind him at the window, where a small black camera was stuck on the window sill.

Jazmine glared at it and then sighed. "I'll take care of it." She lifted Naruto off her lap and set him down on the floor. She walked to the door grumbling and growling. Vivien only caught a few parts of it. Something about how 'she hated neighbors' and 'the fat one would keep her well fed for a month' and things of that sort. Jazmine nearly ripped the door of its hinges and stepped outside.

Devon, Corey, and Devon's cousin, Amber, hunched down in the bushes as they watched Jazmine come out of the house. Jazmine pretended not to see them at first, so Amber tried to shoo the boys to the side of the house. The two boys quickly crawled and half way there they all turned to look and see if Jazmine was still standing there. She wasn't. Relieved the trio quickly rounded the corner only to come face to face with Jazmine.

"Well, well, well." Jazmine smirked. "What have we here? A few spies?" she grabbed the backs of their shirts and carried them to the front door. "What are you doing?" Amber uttered. "Oh, me? I'm just going to introduce you three to my friends, since you seem so curious." Jazmine threw the group into the house and they skidded off of the living room carpet onto the kitchen tile.

Jazmine walked inside and closed the door gently. "Breakfast?" Vivien asked peeking over the couch. "No, Vivien. We are just gonna talk with them a bit." Jazmine said helping Amber up. Amber looked at Jazmine's diamogram and caught it in her hands. Jazmine froze and Amber looked the strange diamogram over. Jazmine's eyes turned red. "Don't." she growled shoving Amber back to the ground. Naruto ran over to them and jumped on Jazmine's back and then huddled up onto her shoulder. Jazmine straightened her back and loomed over the trio.

"My mom," Amber whispered. "My mom." She said louder looking up at Jazmine and Naruto. "She has one. It's black." Amber said pointing to Jazmine's yellow diamogram. Jazmine paused and Vivien hung over the arm of the couch, a wide smile covering her face. "Let's go find Clyde." Vivien suggested not letting the smile leave. Jazmine ignored her. "What's your mom's name, kid?" she asked lifting her chin. As Amber was opening her mouth to speak Devon opened his. "Kid? What do you mean?" he asked hoisting himself up. "You don't look much older than we do, and anyway," he continued. "What's it to you? You gonna stalk Amber and her mom?" he asked folding his arms and sticking his nose into the air.

Jazmine was quiet for awhile and Vivien hopped up off the couch. "Can I eat him now, Jaz?" she asked. Devon scoffed. "Yeah, whatever, eat me. Yeah right." He mocked. Jazmine cocked her eye brow and smiled. She pulled Naruto off of her shoulder and held him in her arms. "Naruto," she said softly with a smile. She looked at Devon. "Hold him?" she asked. Devon paused and shrugged. "Sure." He held out his hands and Jazmine slid Naruto into them. That's when the three noticed that he had three tails. "Whoa!" Corey said with amazement standing up. Amber's eyes widened, but she said nothing.

"Uh, what's wrong with this fox? Why does he have three tails?" Devon asked looking over at Jazmine. Jazmine was grinning.

"That's not all that's special about him." She said with a chuckled. "Look at his nose. It's kinda small, so you'll have to look closely!" Vivien said appearing at Jazmine's side. Devon got Naruto real close to his face. Naruto sucked in a breath. "Boo!" Naruto shouted. Devon screamed and flung Naruto into the air. Naruto landed in his vampire form, he was laughing. He was wearing black pants with an orange shirt. He held his gut and doubled over with laughter. Jazmine looked over her shoulder at him and chuckled. Vivien burst out laughing.

"That was priceless, Naruto!" she gasped between laughs. Corey scrambled back and bumped into Alona who had snuck in through the back door again. The big tiger looked down at Corey and titled her head. Corey screamed shrilly and scrambled back toward Amber. Alona glanced at him lazily and then up at Jazmine. "Jazmine," she said ignoring them. "I ran out of water. Can I have some more?" she asked.

Jazmine nodded and smiled. "Yeah, Alona, help yourself. Get some meat too." Jazmine closed her eyes. "Thanks." Alona started to turn to go into the kitchen. "Wa-wa-wa, wait!" Vivien scolded. "Alona! Aren't you forgetting something?" She opened her arms up and Alona nodded. She walked over to Vivien and stood up on her hind legs. She towered over Vivien and bent to give her a hug. Alona dropped to her paws and yawned. "I'm so sleepy." She murmured. "How can you wake up so early?" she said disappearing into the kitchen.

Corey had clasped his chest and he was breathing heavily. Devon was trembling staring at Naruto who was chatting with Vivien. Amber seemed surprisingly calm. "Courtney." She said suddenly. Jazmine looked at her. "What?" she asked. "My mom's name. It's Courtney." Amber said pushing Corey off of her and standing up. Jazmine's and Vivien's eyes widened as they turned to look at each other. "No way?" Jazmine asked turning back. "You're mom is Courtney? I used to . . . ." her voice trailed off and she looked at Amber. "Uh, never mind." Jazmine coughed. Vivien laughed and stepped up. "Me and Courtney were best friends! She's so awesome!" Vivien laughed.

Jazmine stared at Amber. There was a slight resemblance to the small framed, short, blonde haired girl she had known a few years ago. "Um, Amber? Right? It's Amber?" Jazmine asked. "How many pictures of lions does your mom have on the walls?" Jazmine tilted her head. Amber looked up at her. "Oh, um, I dunno, about three or four, I guess." She said. Jazmine grinned and looked at Vivien. "That's wonderful."

Jazmine turned to see the sun outside the window. "Mm, it must be around five o'clock, huh?" Jazmine said. Her eyes brightened. "Daggy and Clyde will be coming home soon!" She said happily, clapping her hands together.

Just as she said that the front door began to open. Clyde's and Daggorith's calm, happy voices were heard and Jazmine turned slightly. Clyde walked in first, a bag slung over his shoulder and a tennis racket in his hands. His reddish gold hair was pricking slightly at his eye brows. Daggorith also had a bag over his shoulder and a tennis racket in his hands. Daggorith's black shaggy hair was sticking up in the back a little and his bangs hung half way down over his eyes, shielding them from the sun.

Jazmine gasped happily. "Clyde! Brother!" she squealed. "You're home!" The two boys looked up at her and smiled. "Hey Jaz." Clyde said raising a hand. "What's up, sister?" Daggorith asked.

Jazmine walked quickly over to them and smiled up at their faces. She grabbed Clyde's left hand and Daggorith's right hand. "So, how was the game?" she asked. "Did you win, Daggy?"

Daggorith laughed. "Sure did, sister." He said ruffling her hair with his free hand. Clyde scoffed. "Not by much." He grumbled. Daggorith looked at him and then turned back to Jazmine with a smile. "Sore loser." He snickered.

Jazmine tugged the boys inside and Clyde kicked the door shut gently. Daggorith looked up and saw the trio. "Jazmine," he started his voice stern. "What did I tell you about bringing strange humans into the house?" he asked. Jazmine glanced over her shoulder back at Amber, Devon, and Corey. Devon and Corey were huddled next to each other, shivering, but Amber seemed unaffected by it all. Jazmine smiled and pranced over to Amber, she put her hands on her shoulders. "This isn't just any old human I found off the street, Daggorith." She said lifting her finger up and winking.

Daggorith folded his arms across his chest, the tennis racket still in his hand. He cocked an eye brow at her. "Daggy!" Jazmine said happily. "This is Courtney's daughter!" she said. The scornful look on Daggorith's face was replaced by surprise. "Courtney's daughter?" he asked. Clyde nearly knocked Daggorith over. "Courtney's daughter?" he asked stepping up and looking Amber over.

"Mhmm." Jazmine smiled. Then she felt something tug the back of her shirt and she turned. Corey had a fist full of her shirt and was tugging back. "Um, chick?" he asked. "What kind of freaks are you?"

Everyone turned to look at him. "Excuse me?" Jazmine blurted. Vivien's eyebrows twitched and she growled in her throat. Naruto took a step back. "What?" he asked harshly. Clyde and Daggorith looked at Corey with hate and their eyes turned red. "Corey!" Amber scolded.

Jazmine held up her hand. "Hold up!" she snapped. Everyone stopped and looked at her. She bent down and grabbed Corey's shirt and dragged him to his feet. "Freaks?" Jazmine snarled. Corey started shivering a little, but Jazmine had paused and was considering it. "Yeah, I guess, to you we could be freaks," a slow smile spread across her face. "Do you want to see something really freaky?" she asked him with a twinkle in her yellow eyes.

"So what do you think they are doing tonight?" Vicky asked as she and Henry approached the house. As they started to walk up the drive way the front door flew open and two boys came running out screaming. Jazmine suddenly pounced outside. She had what looked like a human arm in her grasp. She was waving it around and snickering. "Wait!" she called after them. "That's not the freaky part, yet!" she laughed. Naruto appeared behind her. "Gimme!" he whined reaching up for it. "I want it!" he said.

Jazmine just smiled and tossed it to him. "Here," she said. He snatched it out of the air and went inside hurriedly. Henry looked at her. "What are you doing?" he asked cocking an eyebrow. Jazmine looked at the two and smiled. "Oh, hey guys." She said. "That was a long story. But it all started with one of those little meat bags throwing a rock at me while I was sleeping, and everything went down hill for them." She said with a wide grin on her face. "Do I even want to know?" Vicky asked, looking up at Henry. "Probably not." He answered. Jazmine chuckled. "C'mon in, guys." She said waving at them and turning to go inside. Henry and Vicky followed her and saw Amber crouched by the wall with Vivien staring at her.

A shiver ran through Amber's back and her wide eyes turned to look at Jazmine. Henry and Vicky looked at her with shocked expression. "Uh, Jazmine?" Vicky started.

"What. . . What are you?" Amber's voice quivered. Jazmine looked at her and rolled her eyes. "You humans take everything so seriously . . ." Jazmine said shaking her head. "Seriously!" Amber shouted. "You just fed a human arm to that boy!" she yelled. Jazmine shrugged. "That's what he eats. That's what we all eat. It's our nature." She said with a bored expression. As Amber was about to reply, Jazmine saw something flicker out of the corner of her eye.

Jazmine stiffened. The others saw her tense and they all froze. Amber stopped as she saw Jazmine's eyes glow red. "Henry!" Jazmine whispered, almost not audible. "Close the door." She grabbed Amber and jumped into the darkness of the shadows in the house. Henry silently shut the door and took Vicky into the corner. No one moved. No one made a sound.

The door suddenly crashed open. It smashed into the wall so hard it left a hole in the wall. Jazmine crouched down low and made no sound. A human figure, most likely female, was perched in the doorway, a gun in her hands. Everything was quiet and the figure moved forward. "Come out, come out, where ever you are." She called cocking the gun. Amber recognized the voice and sucked in a breath. "Mom!" she yelled.

Courtney yanked her arm back and pulled the trigger, the bullet went flying into the darkness and grinded itself into Jazmine's back. The magic bullet exploded and Jazmine screamed. It was a high pitched noise, that no human or animal could ever make. Amber saw Jazmine's expression swirl with pain and her mouth opened exposing two very needle like fangs. She turned around. "A hunter!" she growled in her demonic voice.

Everyone jumped out of their hiding spots, except for Henry who guarded Vicky. They pounced on the female figure. She screeched and the light flicked on. Vivien looked down into the face of Courtney, her once best friend. "Courtney?" she asked, panting. Courtney looked at her with hate filled eyes. "Die!" Courtney hissed raising the gun to Vivien's head. Vivien froze and her pupils shrunk. Her body started to quake.

Jazmine flew out of her corner and grabbed Vivien, throwing her off of Courtney. Courtney shot her magical exploding bullets and it hit Jazmine in the arm. Jazmine screamed again and her eyes turned as red as blood. "Stop!" she snarled grabbing Courtney's throat. "Enough!" Jazmine commanded.

Courtney realized that it was Jazmine, one of her best friends, which she had shot. "Get off of me!" Courtney yelped tossing her gun over. It shot and one of the bullets hit Henry in the arm. He roared and stepped back. "Henry!" Vicky yelled with a worried voice. Jazmine loosened her grip on Courtney's throat and looked up to Henry. Courtney kicked her legs out and hit Jazmine in the stomach. "I said, get off!" Courtney yelled as Jazmine flew a couple of feet away. Jazmine was bleeding terribly, Daggorith was surprised she could move. Naruto and Sasuke didn't know what to do. They had never been around a vampire hunter before.

Amber was still huddled in the corner. Her hands were over her eyes and she was shivering with fear.

Courtney scrambled to her gun. She snatched it in her hands and hopped up onto her feet. "Don't mess with me, Jazmine." She hissed. "Don't mess with me!" she repeated pointing the gun at the bleeding mass of Jazmine on the ground. "I thought . . ." Jazmine panted. "I could trust you . . . . . was I wrong?" her eyes glowed red as she narrowed them at her. Courtney groaned angrily, keeping her eye on everything around her. "Don't give me that!" Courtney yelled. "I thought you were my friend, I trusted all of you blood sucking monsters! But one of you're little Scorpio's had to go and kill my father, so I killed him in return." Courtney smiled evilly.

Jazmine started laughing at that. Courtney was puzzled but she said nothing. "So that's what this about?" she asked rising to her feet slowly. "You know, Courtney, life is tough." Jazmine growled. "My father was murdered. I was seven and I watched him turn to dust with my very eyes!" Jazmine snapped, Henry ducked his head, but Jazmine went on. "You know what else?" Jazmine asked with a smile, taking a few steps toward Courtney. "My mother wants to kill me." She laughed.

Courtney stepped back and widened her stance, her hands started shaking and the gun rattled in her fingers. Daggorith took this time to race forward. He knocked the gun out of Courtney's hands and pushed her back.

Shocked, Courtney stumbled to the side and fell. Jazmine looked down at Courtney, blood was dripping from her own arm and pouring down her back. "What was his name?" she asked Courtney suddenly. "The vampire's name, I mean." She panted.

Courtney was trembling and scowling at her body for doing it. "Thomas," she paused. "The black is Scorpio, right? Thomas the Scorpio." She said with a shaky voice. Jazmine's eyes widened. "Thomas?" she asked. "You killed Thomas?" Jazmine found herself laughing. She sat down, exhausted. Daggorith went to the kitchen to get a few pints of blood. "I hated Thomas. He was such a disgrace to our kind." Jazmine grimaced at his memory. Daggorith handed her a jar of blood and she downed it all quickly. He took the empty jar and handed her the full one, she took her time with that one. Her yellow eyes caught Henry's in the corner. He was silently asking her if it was safe.

Jazmine beckoned to him with her finger. "Come here, Henry. Vicky." She said calmly. Courtney glanced their way, noticing them for the first time, and then watched as the hole on Jazmine's arm slowly started to replenish itself. Jazmine looked up apologetically at Henry and Vicky. "I'm sorry guys." She murmured. "Every time you are around me, something bad happens." She dropped her gaze and sighed. She looked at Vicky. "Are you hurt?" she titled her head a little. "No, I'm fine, and it's okay. I'm used to weird stuff by now." Vicky piped. Jazmine grunted and looked over at Amber. She was gazing unseeingly at the chair in front of her.

Somewhere in the house a phone rang. Jazmine looked up and she started to move. "No!" Daggorith growled. He cleared his throat. "I'll get it." He said walking off. He walked to the hall and there was a beep.

"Hello?" said Daggorith's voice.

There was a long pause and then. "Oh, uh, yeah, she's right here." Daggorith said walking over to Jazmine. "Hold on." Daggorith held out the phone to her and mouthed 'werewolf.' Jazmine snatched the phone. "Hello?" she asked, glancing at Courtney then at Henry. Jazmine's eyes suddenly brightened. "Oh! Ashley! It's so good to hear from you!" she gushed happily. She paused and listened carefully.

"Um, yeah, the pack is always welcome here. Draxie loves the wolves." Jazmine said.

There was another pause.

"Yeah, it's a wonderful time." Jazmine lied. "And we even moved, so we have a bigger yard for your pack."

Pause.

"Mmhm. You, Collie, and David are welcome to stay inside, but if you bring the whole pack some of them will have to stay outside."

A longer pause and then Jazmine laughed. "I'm sure he will." Her eyes slid up to Daggorith. "Collie says hi, brother." She cooed. Daggorith's face reddened and he nodded. Jazmine laughed again.

"So see you here?" Jazmine asked. "Right, Bye." She hung up and handed the phone to Daggorith. She laid back and closed her eyes. A sigh left her lips. "The werewolves are coming to stay for a while. It's their vacationing time." She opened her eyes and looked up at the ceiling. Courtney and Amber had almost been forgotten.

Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other. "Werewolves?" Naruto asked. "Werewolves!" Vivien squealed. "Werewolves." Courtney sighed.

Everything was silent for a moment, Jazmine got up quietly. The hole on her arm was pretty much healed by now, but the hole in her back was taking its sweet time. Jazmine sighed and stood by Courtney, not bothering to look down at her. "Courtney, I knew Thomas, he was hardheaded, smug, narcissistic, and a horrible disgrace to my kind." She never skipped a beat. "I loathed him." She glared at the space in front of her, remembering Thomas. The she looked down at Courtney, a softer expression on her face, and smiled. "But we aren't all like him. In fact, very few of us are like him."

She walked over to Courtney's gun and touched it lightly. When it didn't burn her she picked it up. "Weapons aren't the answer. Revenge isn't the answer. I understand the hurt, the pain of loosing a loved one, a father especially, but . . ." she handed the gun to Courtney, a sure sign of trust, and then held out a hand to help her up. "You just accept it and think of the good times." Jazmine finished.

Courtney considered it and then looked up at Jazmine. She took Jazmine's hand and Jazmine pulled her up. "Yeah, but I'm still keeping this." Courtney gestured at her gun. Jazmine nodded. "Sure. Go ahead. Shoot all the humans you want, just invite me over for dinner." She smirked teasingly at Courtney. Courtney clicked her tongue and went to console Amber.

Jazmine felt for the whole in her back. It was just about healed. Pleased, Jazmine turned quickly and gracefully to Naruto who was perched on the back of the couch. "Naruto, Sasuke, you two haven't ever seen werewolves before, have you?" she asked happily. They shook their heads and Jazmine smiled. "Wonderful! The werewolves are such a clean and wonderful race!" she said clapping her hands together. "I'm friends with the London Werewolf pack and the Italian Werewolf pack and also," she paused, a small frown on her face. "I want to be friends with the Washington Werewolves, but they are so. . . ." she struggled for the right words.

"Pushy?" Daggorith snarled.

"Stupid." Clyde suggested dryly.

Jazmine paused and looked at them, shaking her head. "No." she sighed. "But those words do describe Sam . . . a little. . . I guess." She narrowed her eyes down at her hands. Everything was silent for a moment. "Who's Sam?" Vivien asked breaking silent. "The Washington pack leader." Jazmine mumbled.

"Oh." Vivien said quietly nodding.

Suddenly, Jazmine snarled angrily. She stormed to the window. Nothing was there. "What?" Naruto asked lifting his nose to the air to sniff. "Humans!" Jazmine hissed pulling the curtains back. "So many humans!"

She was right, of course, because just then ten or twelve cars and vans and trucks screeched to a halt in front of the house. Some of them were very popular news station vans, some were police cruisers, and others were tabloid trucks looking for a good story. Jazmine growled with red eyes and pulled the curtains together tight. "Great!" she hissed. "Those little brats ratted us out!" a rumbling growl was building up in her chest.

Clyde flew to her side and took her in his strong arms. "Do you want us to take care of them?" he asked.

Jazmine wrapped her arms around him and sighed. "No." she grumbled. "Leave them be. They'll leave when they see everything's normal." She pushed away from Clyde gently. A few humans pounded on the door. "Excuse me?" a woman's voice rang out. "Excuse me? Ms Jazmine? Right?" she called through the door. "Can we have a few words with you?"

Jazmine narrowed her eyes and glared at the door. Naruto slid to her side. "Are sure you don't want us to do anything?" he asked quietly. Jazmine looked at him. "Just ignore them." She ordered. Her eyes flew to Courtney and Amber. "Uh, right. . ." her voice trailed off. "I'll escort you out the back. There might be a few reporters back there, but not as many in the front." She said walking into the kitchen. Courtney and Amber followed silently.

Everyone, then, turned their attention to Daggorith. He was staring out one of the curtained windows. It let nothing in or anything out, but they were sure he could see outside. He was standing perfectly still. He wasn't breathing or blinking. He didn't look alive.

"Daggorith?" Vivien said quietly, stepping forward towards him and then stopping. Daggorith flicked his eyes toward her and said nothing. A growl grumbled in Daggorith's chest and his eyes turned red as Sasuke moved a little closer towards him. Daggorith exploded into life, growling his quietest growl, but still sounding very ferocious and deadly. He clawed for Sasuke's throat. Sasuke was quick though and he moved back quickly. Jazmine appeared at her brother's side. He stopped and looked down at her.

"Temper, temper, Kenny." She said not looking at him. Daggorith's brow furrowed, he cleared his throat. "Um, sorry. . . I guess." He growled down at her.

"That's an understatement." Jazmine said looking up at her brother with soft eyes. His mouth twitched and he couldn't help but smile. "You're so sweet." He mussed her hair and chuckled. "I'll be in my room." He said, his flat tone returning.

Jazmine turned, that's when people started rapping on the windows and banging on the side of the house. Jazmine rolled her eyes. "Okay, here's what we are going to do." By 'we' she was saying her household, but Henry and Vicky listened curiously.

"We are going to wait this out. The werewolves are coming now. When I talked to Ashley last they were getting to the airport." Jazmine paused and looked over everyone's face, stopping on Vivien's. "When the werewolves get here, and the humans aren't gone by then, I am . . . ." her voice trailed off and she looked the other way. Vivien could tell by the way her face looked that she was done talking but she was so curious. Her questions burned in her mouth.

Vicky decided to speak up then. "So, werewolves, huh?" she asked. Henry grimaced at the thought of the foul tempered beasts coming. Jazmine smiled smugly at them. "Yes. Werewolves." Jazmine said with a happier tone to her voice. "I know every pack, though, there are some lone wolves, but most are in packs." Jazmine went to her chair and sat down; ignoring the new burst of bangs and calls of the reporters outside.

"A pack usually consists of seven or eight. They lose their tempers quickly, that's how they transform. No full moons." Jazmine said, smirking at Vicky. Vicky nodded, "Ah." She mumbled. Her phone suddenly rang. She had answered it and had a short conversation with Coreen and then hung up. "So sorry to break up this little party, but I have to go. Big case." She said. Henry looked at her and then at Jazmine. "Back door, please." Jazmine cooed. They nodded and left quickly and quietly.
