Claire approached, then stopped, looking at something over Josh's shoulder. Josh turned his head slowly and saw family of four, a mom a dad and two little girls. "You wouldn't do anything in front of witnesses, would you...?" Josh said hopefully.

"You got lucky," she growled, stuffing the knife back into her pocket. Before she did anything else Josh took off down the sidewalk, looking back to see the family hurrying away from Claire.

Claire

I remembered everything clearly. I had been exploring the woods with my brother, Tyler, on a full moon. We had snuck out before morning, a big mistake. We laughed as we trudged through the woods, planning on being home before mom and dad woke up, but as we turned to head back I heard something pounding through the woods and growling.

Tyler turned to see what it was. I could remember the look of terror on his face as the monster dug his claws into my brother's flesh. I screamed, but there was nothing I could do.

I remembered him waking up on the forest floor, looking over at the body of my brother. He looked horrified and he wouldn't stop apologizing. I stayed silent the whole time. I couldn't believe what I had just seen. I looked at him then Tyler's unrecognizable corpse, tears streaming down my face. If I hadn't been too busy grieving over Tyler I would have killed him then.

Since then I'd spent my life killing every werewolf I could find. But it wasn't enough. Oh, I want him to suffer. I wanted to take away someone he cared about.

I pulled out the phone I had taken from him and opened the contact's list. There was only two names: Aidan and Nora. . I looked at the names for a few moments then put the phone back.

Josh woke up early the next morning to the sound of his alarm. He knocked it over and sat up, not moving for a while. "Josh, you're going to be late for work!" Aidan called from downstairs.

Josh muttered something under his breath and sprinted down the stairs, running through Sally even though he knew it made her angry.

"'Mornin'," Aidan said. Josh returned his greeting brusqley and sprinted out the door. He got to the hospital as quickly as possible. When he ran through the door there was a young man talking to the lady at the desk. The guy looked at Josh for a few moments before turning back to the lady.

Josh went to get changed. When he got back he saw the man sitting in a chair against the wall. Josh thought he was watching him when he came out. You're just being paranoid, Josh thought but when he looked back he was still watching him. Okay, this is getting creepy.

Claire

"Did you see him?" I asked.

He smiled. "Yeah, he works at the local hospital."

"Thanks, Eric." Eric was my best friend. He was there for me when Tyler was killed and he helped me out when it came to werewolves. "So do you have a plan?" Eric asked.

"No, but I want him to suffer , just as much as I did..."

Eric nodded.

"I want to find him as soon as possible," I continued. "Let's go for a...walk."

I walked through the doors of the hospital, trying to look calm. Eric came in a few minutes after me. I walked up to the woman at the desk and smiled politely. "Hi, I'm a friend of Josh. I was wondering if he was here?" The lady checked something then nodded. "He should be."

"Claire," Eric said. I looked at Eric and followed his eyes. I grinned when I saw Josh. He was turned the other way and had no clue we were here. He disappeared into a hospital room.

"Thank you," I said sweetly to the lady. Eric was already following Josh into the room.

Josh was making one of the hospital beds when the creepy guy from earlier came into the room.

"Hi," he said smiling.

"Can I help you with something...?" Josh asked nervously.

The man didn't respond. He stepped to the side as Claire walked in the room.

"Hi, Josh. I thought I'd find you here. I see you met Eric."

Josh stepped back. "What do you want?" he demanded.

"Don't act stupid, you know what I want." Claire looked irritated.

"Then what are you waiting for?"

Claire chuckled. "I can't kill you here, way too public. Besides, it won't be that easy." Claire's voice had acquired an icy edge, making Josh tremble.

Claire walked around the room, then sat on the bed, crossing her legs. "I looked through your phone. You only have two friends? That's sad, really, but that means less people to miss you." Claire smiled.

Josh stayed silent. He glanced at Eric who seemed to be studying the room, paying no attention to Josh and Claire.

"Eric, grab him and let's go," Claire ordered with a bored tone in her voice.

Eric gripped Josh's wrist with surprising strength and started dragging him out the door.

"Is everything okay?" A nurse asked them. Claire smiled politely.

"Everything's fine. Josh just needs some air."

Josh shook his head but the nurse wasn't looking at him.

Eric put his hands on Josh's shoulders and started pushing to the door.

"We should've brought the car," Eric grumbled after they had been walking for a while. Josh had stopped his useless struggling. It wasn't doing anything but tiring him out.

He was surprised when they turned down the street he lived on. What are we doing here...?

Eric was leading him far behind Claire who took out a key from her pocket and starting walking up the steps to a large house. Josh suddenly shot his head up. There was his house! It was only separated from Claire's by one building. Had she really been so close...?

"AIDAN! AID-" Josh yelled but was cut off when Eric slapped his hand over his mouth.

"Shut up!" he hissed. Josh started struggling again, hopeful that Aidan had heard him.

"Have you seen Josh? He should have been home hours ago!" Sally was pacing the kitchen, worried about her friend.

"I'm sure he's fine," Aidan assured her. He opened his mouth to say something else but was cut off by a familiar voice calling his name.

He opened the door. "Josh?" He saw Josh struggling with a young man who had his hand over his mouth. "JOSH!" He took a move to help him.

"Stop!" It was a female voice. A girl came to the two, holding a knife dangerously close to Josh's throat. "Don't move or I kill Josh."

"What do you want with him?" Aidan growled.

"Revenge," the girl replied coolly.

Aidan was somewhat surprised by her answer. Revenge on Josh? What could he have done? Josh was looking at Aidan, his eyes pleading him to do something. Anything!
