Disclaimer: Um… not mine. Don't sue, all you'll get is my deceitful, flesh-eating cat. Wolf Lake belongs to, uh.. Viacom? Maybe. Whatever.
Feedback: Pretty Please? My insecurities as a fiction writer run deep.
Summary: Okay, begins where the evil finale (and supposedly LAST eppy) leaves off. Sophia's beginning to show signs of "wolfen" behavior.
Author's Note: If you didn't see the last Wolf Lake episode, the ending featured jealous Luke roughing up Sophia's date. She, in turn, shows flashing green eyes and tosses Luke with an impressive display of (wolf-related) strength. Sophia then runs away from the smirking Luke to find her father. So here goes…
Chapter One: Green-Eyed Girl
"Dad, can you help me?" came in a small, choked voice.
Sophia's eyes glowed green from beneath the covering of her lengthy hair. She stared up at her father, eyes shifting back and forth like a caged animal.
Sheriff Donner's hand shook as he stroked his daughter's hair softly in an attempt to calm her. "It's okay, honey. We'll get you home . You'll be fine. We can stop this." His brow furrowed in concern and he tried to restrain any show of worry. There was no need to make her more frightened than she already was.
Sophia had been averting her gaze to the floor the last few minutes and grasping the bottom of the chair with white knuckles. Her father had been talking to her, she was sure of it, but she wasn't quite listening. His voice became a droning mumble, slipping away farther into the distance. Sophia's stomach clenched with ancient knowledge that had been passed for centuries. Her blood seemed to be throbbing through her veins to a strangely familiar beat.
She made herself focus on her current surroundings. Suddenly her father's voice became very loud as she was brought back to the present.
"Sophia! Look at me!"
She slowed her breathing to a steady pace. When Sophia looked up, she managed to douse the green flame that raged to consume her pupils. "I'm okay." She swallowed slightly. "I feel better now. Sorry to scare you, Dad." After a second she added, "I- I think I'm just gonna go ahead and walk home."
Donner quickly shook his head in denial. "No. No way. You're not going anywhere alone, in this condition. Anything could happen."
"Dad, I said I'm fine. I just- it's over. I'm okay now." Sophia tried to smile, reassuring him.
The Sheriff was about to object again when the phone rang in the other room. Annoyed with the untimely interruption, he turned back to his daughter. "Look, I'm going to go see if that's Vivian again. She said she might call back. Stay here and don't move," he ended vehemently, pointing to the chair. He gave her a soften smile. "Everything's going to be alright."
Sophia watched him walk out of the room in quick strides. Her eyes filled with luminous light. "Yeah.." She said aloud to herself, jumping out of the chair and crossing the room. Once she reached the door, she looked back and sighed with resolve. "I know it will." Sophia opened the door quietly and stepped out into the night.

Luke took the next curve going 50. He ignored the cracked glass that had previously been his windshield. The print of his body formed a large dint on his stylish hood.
He glanced at car ahead of him that he was rapidly coming up on. His grunted impatiently and swerved around it, never slowing his speed.
Have to find Sophia. He had witnessed the beginning of her change, whether she realized it or not. For the last month she had been altering, her senses heightening her scent becoming stronger in its development. He has observed silently and waited. Waited for her to accept the inevitable… waited for her to admit he was the only one worthy of ever becoming her mate... waited for her to flip.
In the meantime, he stayed close to her.. Teasing his own senses with the thrill of it. He knew it would be soon for her, but he hadn't anticipated tonight. She seemed so dead against it, he didn't have a clue what must be running through her mind right now. If the expression he had seen on her face was a testament to her feelings.. Then he had to find her, and very soon. He wouldn't let her run from this. If she continued to fight it…
Luke shook off the thought. His mind wandered back to the last hour. He had been watching her with that human from the shadows. That boy touching what was his. He glared with such intensity that he could feel his eyes burning. Sophia had flinched once and looked around searchingly. For a moment his anger was forgotten as he took delight in the fact that she felt his presence. He hadn't caught it at first, but it became obvious with her anxious glances that she knew something. She may not have been able to identify what it was that had her uncomfortable, but that would come eventually.
The short period of tranquil satisfaction vanished as his inner beast raged over the scene that now played out. His temper exploded in anger as that disgustingly weak boy was kissing Sophia. Her scent was tainted by his closeness and Luke instantly started his engine. Discretion was the furthest thing from his mind as he stomped toward the surprised couple. His claim was being challenged, and no male… especially a human, would be touching her.
He didn't regret throwing the harmless kid across the road. In truth, he had planned to continue the one-sided fight but was surprised when he felt a familiar hand grasp his shirt. He looked at her for short seconds before landed on the front of his car, sent there by Sophia's uncharacteristic force.
Once he pushed the pain in his back aside and realized what had happened, Luke grinned knowingly. It was happening.
All of his thoughts abruptly faded away as his head jerked with alertness. He skidded the car to a hasty stop. Inhaling a familiar scent, he pulled off the road near the swarm of trees. He flung the car door open in an aggravated gesture as he got out in one fluid motion. Sophia's scent, a gift of the wind, swept over him in an inviting caress. He closed his eyes and turned his face toward the sky as he absorbed it. When he opened his eyes again, they filled with a heated green. Without turning back, he shoved the door closed with one hand and walked with purpose into the thick of woods.
