Authors Note: Hello anyone who reads my story. This is a continuation of the show Wolf Lake which I unfortunately only got to see a few episodes but absolutely loved. This story will be primarily Sophia and Luke based, but eventually I think I will resolve the whole Ruby and John situation. So please enjoy and send me reviews it brightens my day when I get them.
Disclaimer: I do not own Wolf Lake or anything that has to do with it. If I did I would have kept the show on the air.
"Come on, let's go." Luke said in a firm voice.
"What do you think you are doing?" Sophia said outraged as Luke grabbed her arm and started to drag her toward his car.
"Hey! Get your hands off her." Scott yelled and tried to pull Luke off Sophia. But even a 16 year old teenage human who was in the prime of his life, was no match for a teenage skin walker who was defending his mate. As Scott reached out to grab Luke he was in turn thrown up against the nearest light pole. The force of Luke's throw was so powerful that Scott was lucky he didn't break any of his bones.
Luke was prepared to continue the blatantly obvious one-sided fight when he felt a tug on his shirt, and looked up to see Sophia, her eyes shining gold, grab him. The next thing he knew Luke was on the front of his car, partially in his windshield. He was stunned momentarily but smiled as he realized what was happening to Sophia. The look in her golden eyes and on her face only confirmed what was happening to her. She was starting to flip.
Luke's smile quickly disappeared as Sophia ran off into the woods, clearly afraid of what was happening to her. She started to run and was prepared to run out the change when she was overtaken by a pain that seemed to resonate throughout her entire body. It was a pain that she had never felt before. Not even when she had fallen off her bike in the third grade and broken her wrist. This pain seemed to start in her abdomen and fan out to the rest of her body from her head to her toes. It made Sophia stumble and fall to the ground. She was hurting so much that she felt like she couldn't get up and would die from the pain right where she was lying. Sophia felt her energy leaving and was prepared to let the darkness overtake her, when she heard her name being called by that familiar voice she had come to love and hate. She knew she had to get back on her feet and keep going.
"Sophia! Sophia where are you?" Luke called out with worry and fear clearly laced throughout his voice. "Sophia please talk to me, I only want to help you." Luke had watched Sophia run into the woods from the hood of his car and realized it would be even harder than he thought to get close to her during her change. With the speed that she was running, he knew it would be hard to just catch up with her. He jumped up off of the hood of his car and was going to run after Sophia but was stopped when he heard his name called out.
"Hey Luke. Man, what happened to you?" Sean asked as he walked out of an alleyway with Presley. "We were looking for you when we heard a crash."
"Sean I need you to go and get the sheriff. Tell him he needs to get to the forest. Then go and get Sherman. Follow my scent into the woods and bring him to where I am." Luke ordered Sean.
"Yeah sure Luke, but what's going on?" Sean asked very confused about why Luke was so upset.
"No questions Sean! Just go now!" Luke screamed back with a deep warning growl.
"All right man, I'm going." Sean said and stripped his clothes off throwing them on the side of the road. As he ran away from Luke's broken car, he flipped into his wolven form and ran as fast as he could to the police station.
While Sean was running to get the sheriff, Presley was doing her best to make sure that Luke hadn't been hurt at all from the crash into his windshield by rubbing herself up against him. "Presley get off me!" Luke yelled and pushed her off of him. "Go and get my mother. Bring her here and tell her which way I go into the forest."
"But Luke..." Presley started to whine.
"Now!" Luke yelled back at her as he ran into the woods. His only thought was to get to Sophia, before she hurt herself in any way. He wouldn't allow himself to even think of the possibility that Sophia might not survive the change. He just called out her name as he followed her scent through the woods. "Sophia! Sophia where are you? Sophia please talk to me, I only want to help you." Luke called out as he ran. He was running through the forest when he saw a flash of white ahead of him. At first Luke thought he had caught a glimpse of the white coat that Sophia had been wearing earlier that night, but realized as the white came closer that it was not her. "Ruby, what are you doing here?" Luke asked amazed that Ruby was actually coming out of hiding to talk to him.
"Luke I just saw Sophia Donner running through the forest, she looked terrible." Ruby answered him along the mental pathway that the members of her family shared.
"You did! Where did you see her?"
"I went to the clearing to rest for awhile, and heard a commotion behind me. I started to run off, but realized that it was Sophia. When I went back to see if she needed help, she looked like she was being tortured. She was clawing at her skin and looked like she might pass out."
"Oh man she's getting really close. Was she still there when you left?" Luke asked with a fresh wave of worry crossing his features.
"I was going to try and help her when she suddenly got up and started running off in the direction of the lake."
"Thanks Ruby." Luke said truly grateful. "You better get out of here. I sent Presley to get my Mom and you know she will have a fit if she sees you."
"Thanks Luke, but it looks like you are going to have your hands full with the way Sophia is acting. I'll go with you and help Sophia with her change. We both know how painful it is going to be for her." Ruby quickly assured him and started to race off in the direction from which she had come. Luke watched her for a second and smiled. It was good to have his sister back again.
