Chapter One
Jade walked past Tori's locker, than frowned and turned back. She looked around making sure that no one was around, then walked over to Tori's locker and sniffed. Jade's frown deepened and she leaned in to take another sniff. She took a step back, confused. There was no mistaking that smell-it was that of an unchanged Alpha. But Tori's family wasn't part of any pack, and Tori clearly hadn't been bitten by an Alpha. Though, now that Jade thought about it, Tori had said something about being attacked by a group of stray dogs last month. Jade hadn't really paid attention to it, but now she realized that she probably should have.
Jade pulled out her pearphone and checked the lunar cycle. She didn't usually worry about the moon, since all nights were pretty much the same to her. But she needed to check today. She let out a sigh. Tonight was the first night of the full moon. That left her with two options. Jade could let Tori transform by herself, or she could help Tori out. It didn't take her long to make the choice. She might not be fond of Tori, but Jade wasn't an asshole. She wasn't going to just let Tori transform in the Vega house and slaughter everyone who came near. Despite what most Hunters claimed, Jade's status as a vampire didn't make her evil.
Fifteen minutes later
"Jade? What are you doing here?" Tori asked in confusion, opening the door to her house.
"Tell your parents you're going to be staying the night at my house." Jade said. Tori frowned.
"What? Why?" She asked.
"I need you." Jade said simply. Tori nodded.
"Ok, come inside." She told her, beckoning her in. "It'll just take a minute." Jade nodded and stepped inside, rocking back and forth on her heels impatiently. Time was of the essence here, largely because Jade hadn't been attentive enough to notice the scent until she was leaving from a practice for one of Sikowitz's plays at six o'clock. She needed to get Tori out of the Vega house and into her basement as soon as possible. "Alright, my mom says it's okay so long as I come home before midnight tomorrow.
"We'll see." Jade said, grabbing Tori by the wrist and dragging her out of the house. Tori frowned. Jade had come to her for help before, but this was different. She didn't seem sad, angry, or even worried. She actually seemed…scared.
"What's wrong Jade?" Tori asked as they got into Jade's car.
"Not now Vega." Jade growled, starting the car and speeding down the street. When they arrived at Jade's house, Jade pulled into the garage, turned off the car, then turned around and opened a duffel bag in the back seat.
"What's that smell?" Tori asked, frowning and trying to see what Jade was doing. Jade pulled out a Ziploc bag, then opened it and pulled out the white rag inside it.
"Chloroform." Jade told her, pressing the rag into her face. Tori struggled for a few seconds, but then quickly passed out. Jade chuckled, then closed the garage door and got out, slinging Tori's unconscious body over her shoulder and entering the house.
Twenty minutes later
Tori woke up and looked around in confusion, still somewhat groggy. "Good, you're awake." Jade said, hopping off of the table she'd been sitting on. "That it'll make it easier, you people handle the first time much better when you know what's going on."
"What did you do to me?" Tori demanded, standing up.
"I chloroformed you." Jade said with a shrug, completely unapologetic.
"You what?" Tori yelled, trying to move forward only to be stopped. She turned around and looked down, and was horrified to see that Jade had locked several long chains to her wrists and ankles, which were in turn bolted to the wall, preventing Tori from moving very far. "Why are you doing this?" She demanded. Jade walked over and ignored the question, instead pulling down both sleeves of her sweater.
"What happened here?" She asked, pointing to a scar that was clearly a bite mark. "And here, and here, and here?" Each 'here' was marked by Jade tapping another scar on Tori's arms.
"I was attacked by a group of dogs one night, they bit me a lot." Tori said, confused by this question. "Jade, what's going on?" Once again, Jade ignored her question, asking one of her own instead.
"How big were the 'dogs'?"
"I don't know, really big?" Tori said, getting more confused by the minute. "The doctor said they looked like bite marks from a Great Dane, but they were so big I thought they were…"
"Wolves." Jade finished.
"Yeah." Tori said. "Now please tell me what you're doing!" She yelled. "You're scaring me." Jade gave a small chuckle at this.
"You want to know what I'm doing? I'm saving the lives of every member of your family. Including yours in the long term." She told Tori.
"What are you talking about?" Tori demanded, struggling.
"Stop that, the chains are designed to hold something much stronger than you." Jade told her. "You'll hurt yourself."
"Then tell me what's going on!" Tori snapped.
"You were bit by a small pack of Omegas." Jade said calmly. "Werewolves." She said when Tori gave her a confused look. "There are several levels, or ranks, of werewolves, with Omega being the lowest. Simply put, an Omega is a Twilight werewolf. It's essentially a big wolf, with an increased healing factor and a relatively human level of intelligence."
"So what…you think I'm going to turn into one of these Omegas?" Tori asked, still confused.
"No, no, you're actually much luckier than that." Jade said. "You're an Alpha, the best possible rank. An Alpha is a Van Helsing werewolf. You'll be bipedal, with arms that can be used to grab things just as much as for running, you'll be huge, and you'll have far more intelligence than any other type of werewolf."
"But you said I was bit by a group of Omegas." Tori said. She wasn't sure if she believed Jade, but the least she could do was play along until she figured out how to get out of this situation.
"Yes I did. You see, there are three ways to become an Alpha. One, you're born into a family of Alphas. Two, you're bitten by an Alpha. Or three, you're bitten by a bunch of non Alphas at once and survive."
"Why would that result in me being an Alpha?" Tori asked.
"Simply put, a werewolf bite transfers magic into the victim. An Omega has a low level of magic, so they can only make Omegas. An Alpha has a lot of magic, so they can make Alphas. But, if a bunch of Omegas bite you at once, they transfer a whole bunch of magic, because they can't not transfer magic unless they kill you." She glanced at her watch. "Of course, you're going to figure this all out in a minute." Jade told her, heading for the stairs.
"Where are you going?" Tori demanded, panicking.
"I'm going to get you some raw meat." Jade said, not looking back. "You're going to want it." Jade walked into the kitchen and opened the freezer. Fortunately, she'd been planning on throwing a party soon to celebrate the beginning of summer vacation, so she had some hamburger. She threw it on a plate and stuck in the microwave to thaw it. It was times like these when she wished she still had parents, if only because that would mean she'd be certain to have food on hand. But her parents had died back when the Bubonic Plague hit England, leaving her alone for the past few centuries. The man she'd claimed be her father for her premiere of Well Wishes was just some guy that she hypnotized because he fit the part. As it was, she was going to need to get more raw meat for the rest of the week.
Suddenly, a howl echoed through the house, and she smiled, grabbing the plate. For some reason, she was glad that Tori now knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that she wasn't crazy, and that she now had someone to share the nights with, even if it was just Tori. Jade pulled the plate out of the microwave and walked downstairs. "Oh for the love of Hell." Jade muttered when Tori lunged at her, growling. "The point of telling you all that was so that you'd get control faster." She sighed and set the plate down on the table then turned back to face Tori.
"Now listen to me mutt." She growled, walking forward. "You are several centuries too young to be threatening me, so shut up and get control of yourself." Tori responded by letting out a loud, intimidating howl and baring her fangs. Jade smiled, then opened her mouth and roared. Tori's ears lay back and she took a few steps back, cowed. Jade chuckled. A werewolf's howl was just as intimidating as a regular wolf's howl, but a vampire's roar was like a lion's. Tori made a few short barks, and Jade rolled her eyes. "Vega, look at yourself. You can't talk, your mouth and throat aren't designed for that."
"Then how am I supposed to communicate?" Tori demanded, sounding frustrated.
"Like that." Jade said with a smirk. "Think at me. Think of what you want to say, and focus it at me. It's how werewolves communicate."
"Like this?" Tori asked tentatively.
"Yes, like that." Jade said. It was struggle to be patient, but she supposed she'd been just as difficult the first few nights after she'd been turned.
"How do you know so much about werewolves?" Tori asked. Jade smiled and let her fangs extend from their sheathes. "You're a vampire." Tori said, her eyes widening. "That…That makes a lot of sense actually."
"Doesn't it?" Jade said with another laugh. Tori nodded, then looked down at the ground sheepishly.
"Did I smell meat?" She asked shyly. "Because I'm really hungry for some reason." Jade nodded and turned around to get the bloody hamburger.
"That's a side effect of the transformation." Jade told her, turning around and tossing her the hunk of meat, which Tori caught in her mouth. "You just burned a lot of calories, what with your body reforming every bone and muscle you possess and all."
"So, what happens now?" Tori asked, sounding concerned.
"Now…"Jade let out a sigh. "Now we spend every night of the full moon together until you move away." She said.
"What?" Tori yelled.
"Hey, I'm not any happier with this than you are, but think for a moment. I know it's hard for you dogs, but be intelligent. Do you really think you could hide yourself in that form, in your house?"
"Well…No." Tori admitted after thinking about it for a moment.
"Exactly. In my house though, you don't have to worry about regular vanilla mortals finding out about your little problem, and you'll have someone to talk to at night that you can't kill in an accidental loss of control."
"That makes sense." Tori said, yawning. "Could you unchain me now? I need to sleep." Jade nodded and pulled the keys from her pocket, unlocking the chains. Tori nodded her thanks, then curled up to sleep. A second later though, her eyes shot open. "What are you doing?" She demanded. Jade had got down on the floor and was leaning against Tori, using her like a giant pillow.
"You're comfortable, and I get lonely at night." Jade said, shrugging. "After all, I don't sleep."
"Okay, but you better not drink any of my blood." Tori said slowly, closing her eyes again.
"Relax, I can't drink werewolf blood." Jade said, pulling out a DS. "Too much magic in it." Tori nodded and went to sleep, shifting so that Jade would be more comfortable.
