Chapter 1-

Catching you up

All I can say right now is: thank god it's not winter… Yet.

It was Christmas break though.

I was sitting in my room, the heating turned up; it was probably around 25 degrees outside. Not cold enough for me to phase as soon as I walked out, but after a bit it would be cold enough. I remember when the cold was easy, it sucked, but it didn't put me in another form till it was warm enough in spring. When I could walk out in a sweater and sweat pants real quick to get the mail. Now I couldn't do that if it was under 5 degrees. So far though I have been cheating the change. Wearing so many layers I would sweat even if it was frigid outside, or skipping school if it was in the negatives. I couldn't do that much longer.

It was scary the first time, I didn't expect a wolf bite would have me phasing between wolf and human for 3 weeks, than during the winter do that again but this time staying as a wolf till spring. Apparently Mercy Falls had a werewolf pack, but it was different from the kind of werewolf one of my old friends were. This kind (which I had been turned into) was sensitive to the cold, so when it was cold enough you phased to stay warm. It was so weird, but the others (including that weird yellow-eyed boy named Sam) were going through the same thing. But Sam says that something really bad happens after a couple years, and I'm worried. But it's only been 3 years since I was bit, so I should be okay.

Lets see, I really have to catch you up on what's been happening since I first met Sam. It was the same week after Sarah and I got the first text from Sam, in the middle of winter that I was bit by a white wolf. So now I was a bluish-black wolf during winter. Umm, I spend more time with the pack, which consist of Sam, Beck, Paul, Sarah, Olivia, and Sam's girlfriend (who wasn't a werewolf) Grace, and a couple more, but mostly I talked to them. During school I still talked to my other friends, just not as much as I use to. Sam Sarah Grace and Olivia were all in the same grade and school as me, so we have all the same classes (thanks to Grace) and I mostly talk to them. Sarah was bit a week after I was, by the same white wolf. I think that wolf is dead now though… I have seen a white wolf around, but I never see one in the house, and only a werewolf can make you a werewolf, there were no white wolves in my pack.

The room I was in was in that small house surrounded by the woods where Sarah and I saw Sam. That was the pack's house, or more specifically, Beck's house, the leader of the pack, he has been a werewolf for, I think 24 years now, and nothing bad has happened to him. He was a pure black wolf. This for some reason reminded me of another wolf, not me, but someone… I don't know though. Sarah was brown, Sam was gray with yellow eyes, so of course you knew it was him, Olivia was a whitish- grayish wolf (and no, its impossible that Olivia was the wolf that bit Sarah and me) I don't know what color Paul was, I don't remember being a wolf very well and that the only times I've seen him as a wolf.

Okay what's happening now? Well at the moment, as I said, I'm sitting in my room, listening to Three Days Grace on my i-Pod. Sam was reading in a chair by my computer, and Grace was on the computer. Sam had almost changed a couple minutes ago, both Grace and him had went to see New Moon at the theaters and when they were coming back Sam had doubled over with convulsions from the cold. But now he was here, human, and both of them were a little to quiet for my liking. Sam smelt like a wolf right now, and I knew Grace smelt it, she had been attacked by a werewolf before, when she was younger, but after being left in a car when she was sick (with the sickness you get before you start phasing uncontrollably) during summer, she lost the wolf in her and cant change and I say cant because she wants to, she wants to be with Sam forever, but she cant be a werewolf now, she immune to the bite. She will never be a wolf, never have never will. But now she could smell and hear things better than a normal person. Anyway, Sarah, Beck, Paul and Olivia have already phased for winter, so Sam and I were the only ones left that were human at the moment. Both of us are trying our best to avoid it, but it's not easy… Sam doesn't want to leave Grace yet, ever actually, and I just don't want to be a wolf yet. I don't mind it, but I don't want to yet.

"Any one else hungry" Grace asked, getting up and stretching.

"Yeah", Sam said putting his bookmark in, I just nodded.

"Kay, I'm gonna go make something to eat now." Grace said, walking out of the room.

Sam followed her out, me right behind her.

"Hey Chloe, want to help me, I'm just gonna make mac n cheese and some chicken, but could you start the mac for me?" Grace shouted from the kitchen.

"Yeah sure" I yelled my voice scratchy from not talking for a long time.

I ran over to the kitchen, passing Sam. Grace had the chicken out on the stove and the macaroni out on the counter I grabbed all the stuff I needed and started on the mac. I just hadn't even noticed I still had my music on and that it was way up till Grace yanked the ear buds out of my ears.

"Can't you put your i-Pod down for a second?!" Grace said smiling at me.

Sam laughed at the table, making me jump; I thought he went to watch TV. Oh no wait, that sound was the radio. I laughed at my stupidity.

"Sorry, I didn't know I still had them on!" I laughed.

Both of them laughed.

After we had made and ate lunch we retired to different rooms. I went back to my room to look on the internet, Grace and Sam went to the living room to watch a movie. Normally I would have joined them, I still loved to watch movies, but the reason I was going on the internet was because I had to check on my director sights. But when I logged on I got side tracked, I had a new e-mail. When I logged into my Yahoo account I had 43 new messages. Most were junk mail, stuff from face book; I had one news letter from one of my sights, but on top was an e-mail from my Aunt Lauren. Holy Cow! When was the last time I talked to her!? 3 years ago that when, when I was 15, I was now 17 going on 18 in a couple days. The e-mail read.

Chloe,

Hey, been a while since I talked to my soon to be 18 year old niece!! I can't believe how long it's been since I talked to you, 3 years. How have you been? I've missed you so much! You need to CALL!! Every one wants to talk to you! Rae, Simon, Tori, even Derek!

Whoa, flash, dang, been so long since I even heard those names!!

You, missy, have a party planed! Thanks to your loving Aunt, and friends. Oh and are you?! Your Dad says that you left and haven't been back for a long time! You need to call people Chloe. And don't say you don't have a phone because I know you do! Please call me! If you do I'll give you Simon, Tori, Rae, and Derek's number, cause they want to talk to you two.

-Your Aunt Lauren

She listed her phone number on the bottom of the e-mail. I did have to call her, I missed her two. So I grabbed my phone of my bed side table and typed in her cell number. Plopping down on my bed; the phone was picked up on the second ring.

"Hello? This is Lauren Fellows." I heard my Aunt's familiar voice ring across the line.

"Hey, Aunt Lauren, it's Chloe." I said.

"Oh my god Chloe! What happened to you! You've disappeared!" She yelled.

I laughed, "sorry, I've been… busy lately."

"With what? Do you have a boyfriend? I bet he's cute and nice" She was starting to sound like Bella's mom from Twilight.

I laughed again "no, I don't have a boyfriend, but I have been hanging out with some guy-friends lately, and one of my friends."

"Oh, well who are they and what does your guy friend look like?" She said.

Wow, "Well I hang out with Grace, Sam is one of my guy friends, and he has yellow eyes and long black hair. I'm at their house right now."

"Whoa, yellow eyes! Does he get into a lot of trouble?" She laughed.

"Nice, and no, he's really nice, Grace and him are together." I said.

"Oh, and their the only ones your hanging out with right now? Don't you feel third wheelish?" She asked.

"No, they keep me in." I said.

"Oh, that's good, but I need you to come back to Buffalo for your birthday party."

"Oh, please don't make this a big deal, it's just another birthday" I said.

"Umm, no it's just your 18th birthday!!" She yelled, "Ugh, I can't believe your going to be 18."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, how cold is it up there." I asked, since it truly was an extremely important question.

"Cold, very cold, but that why were having it inside Hun, duh!" She said, laughing after.

"Umm, when do you want me to come?" I said.

"ASAP! I miss you!!" She said.

"I miss you two, but I'd need you to tell me the warmest day that I should come."

"Okay, but the cold is inevitable."

"I know" I was starting to worry; I don't want to be a wolf for my birthday, especially if I'm in Buffalo.

"Well, maybe tomorrow, you could drive couldn't you?"

"Yeah I guess." It wasn't that far away.

"Than you should pack up and come now!" She said, "I want to see you!"

"Yeah, I will", I should just get this trip over with anyway "I'll start packing and I'll be there in about 3 hours, should I just come to your house?"

"Yeah, I have a bed and stuff for you." She said.

"Kay, see you soon."

"Yup, bye."

I said bye and hung up. I sighed heavily, I really didn't want a party that bad, but I do want to see everyone… I'll just have to be careful; they don't need to worry about me during winter. I have enough on my shoulders.

I grabbed a suitcase and started packing warm clothing. I also grabbed bathroom necessities and my i-Pod. Than I went out to the living room and started to bundle up.

"Where are you going?" Sam and Grace asked in unison.

"Buffalo, my aunt wants me to come over for my birthday, I want to leave now and get the trip over with." I said, pulling on my 3rd jacket.

"Okay, just be careful Chloe, its really cold over in Buffalo." Sam said.

"I know and I will be" I grabbed my keys and opened the door with my suitcase in my over my shoulder "see ya guys later, call me on my birthday." I finished

"We'll be checking on you everyday!" I heard Sam shout before I closed the door. I ran over to my car and got in, jamming the key in and cranking the heat way up, the temperature had dropped to the negatives now, my teeth were chattering and I was shivering. To make matters worse, it was snowing.

I was afraid to stop for anything, I had no idea how cold it was outside; all I knew was that the snow had picked up a lot now. So I would keep going I wanted to get there as soon as possible.

My phone buzzed, illuminating the car, since it was almost 7 now and it got dark early, so it was almost pitch black outside. I grabbed my phone and answered.

"Hello?" I said.

"Chloe, you hanging in there?" It was Grace.

"Yeah, I'm good, how bout' you guys? This snow is horrible." I said.

"I'm fine… But Sam just phased… A couple minutes ago" She said, voice shaking like she was about to cry.

"Oh, Grace, I'm so sorry, I wish I was there, I should have waited till tomorrow to leave, I'm so sorry." I said.

"Its fine, I'm glad you left when you did, the entire reason why Sam changed was because the snow knocked out our power, I tried to keep him warm, but it was inevitable… I'll be fine though, I'm heading home now."

"Okay, drive safely, it's really bad out here, how bad is it there." I asked.

"Can barely see in front of the car, I should go back and wait the storm out." She said.

"No, keep going, if the powers' out than its going to be worse back there, go home, its safer there anyway," I said.

"Kay, well drive careful, I'll talk to you soon, I don't mean to drop you but I really need my hands to drive through this." She said.

"I understand thank you and you two, bye bye." I said.

"Bye."

"Hang on Grace", I said before she could hang up.

"Huh?" She said.

"It'll be okay, don't worry Sam is the best one out there you know that." I said.

"Yeah, I know, and thank you."

"No problem. Bye"

"Bye."

I hung up and set my cell phone down, getting both my hands onto the wheel again.

I felt so bad for Grace, I hope Sam's the first to change in spring, I hate it when he changes, I wish he had never been bitten, than Grace and him could be together all year.

It was 10 when I pulled up in front of Aunt Lauren's house. The only light I could see was the warm glow of a fire. I grabbed my bag and scooted over to the passenger seat, than gripped the door handle, readying myself for the cold. I swung open the door and bolted out. Running over ice and thick snow to the door. Thank god she had a walled in porch. I knocked on the door. It swung open fast, My Aunt standing in the doorway.

"Chloe!" She yelled, tugging me in and hugging me.

"Hi" I said.

She closed the door and showed me into the living room, the fire in the fireplace warmed up the entire room, casting a pretty orange glow over the room. My aunt stopped and spun around to see me. I was taller than her now, I think she shrank.

"You look amazing!" She said.

I laughed, "thank you, you don't look half bad yourself."

"Why thank you Hun, but you really did get taller, and you look so beautiful!"

"Ha, been a while." I said.

"Yeah" she hugged me again.

"Well, I'm sure you want to go to sleep after that huh, can't be easy driving in these weather conditions! I was concerned you wouldn't make it."

"Well I did" I said smiling.

"Okay, follow me to you guest room than." She said and started up the stair case in the corner of the room.

I took a warm shower and put on some of my warmest pj's that I brought after Aunt Lauren had showed me my room, it was a second master bedroom with a full bathroom connected. The beading was so warm. I got the small fireplace going in the room trying to warm it up even more. Than I shut the glass doors on the fire, it was a small flame so I could go to sleep the warmth coming through the vents on the front of it though was nice. I flipped off the main lights and laid down, looking at the small flickering flame, it wouldn't last long, but it kept the room warm enough so that I wouldn't wake up tonight and phase. I fell asleep after a while, a nice dreamless sleep.

I woke up at 9:45, the fire was out, but there was still that nice warmth and the comforting smell. Along with the smell of a past fire was the aroma of scrambled eggs. I got up and went downstairs after a quick hair check in the mirror.

Aunt Lauren's house was small but cheering outside her window you could see more houses, snow covering the houses and roads, the everlasting feeling of life around you. It was nice, but it felt funny, I wasn't used to the feeling of other people besides the pack around, and the scenery was unsettling, made sense, this time of year the wolf in you was always watching and held most of your emotions and senses.

Sure enough there were eggs downstairs and Aunt Lauren with a coffee cup in one hand and the newspaper in the other, I bit back a laugh and grabbed a plate as she had asked me to.

"You still haven't told me what you've been up to for the last 3 years." Aunt Lauren said.

"Oh, not much, I don't really have much to do at Mercy Falls." I said, which was a total lie, but I couldn't tell her that I've been a wolf twice.

"Hmm, that's weird", she glanced up at me, "I would think after a while something would come up that was fun."

"Nope not really." I said.

"Well, I have errands to run today, so if you wanna come with or not it's up to you"

"I think you should give me the addresses of everyone that's wanted to see me." I said.

"That's a good idea", she said standing up and walking over to the kitchen counter. She grabbed a piece of paper and wrote down something with a pen.

"There you go" She said, handing me the paper.

"Thank you" I looked down at the paper, there were 3 addresses, one for Tori, one for Rae and one for Simon Derek and Kit. I wondered if I should call first, but I kind of wanted it to be a surprise, but I had no idea what they have been up to and who there with right now. I looked up at Aunt Lauren.

"Are they all home today?" I asked

"Yup, they should be, but you should call first."

"I kind of wanted to surprise them." I said looking back down at the paper and laughing a bit.

"Than just go over there." She said.

I stood up "Kay, I'm gonna go get ready than."

When I was ready Aunt Lauren had already left. It didn't look as cold outside today, so I just threw on a sweater from my favorite band and put on my shin-length jacket. I got into my car and looked at the first address on the paper, which was Tori's. I hope she isn't still a jerk.

I pulled up in front of a small tan house, it looked totally wrong for the snotty girl and her used-to-be-evil mom. But she probably lives with her Dad now, I couldn't remember. I got out and walked up to the door, I knocked; I heard a dog go crazy inside and someone yell 'can you get that Tori!' Good, it'll be easier if she gets the door. I waited a second than the door opened. A girl in a plain pink t-shirt and blue penguin pj bottoms with short black hair tied in a pony was in the door way.

"Who are you?" Tori asked.

"Umm, I'm pretty sure I'm Chloe Saunders." I said.

Her eyes winded.

"CHLOE! HOLY S***!! You look totally different!!"

"So I've heard." I said laughing.

"Get in here." She said, I walked in and the dog that I heard attacked me.

"Get lost Butterscotch!" Tori said yanking the little beagle with a brown and cream color fur away.

"Cute dog, love the name two" I said.

"Thanks, but she's a pain in the but." She said laughing.

I smiled and looked around.

"Wow! This place looks amazing, I thought it would be smaller from outside but no way, this place is huge!" I said.

"Thanks, and I know, weird isn't it."

"Yeah", I said looking at her and smiling.

"Who is it?!" I heard, presumably, Tori's dad shout from the other room.

"Chloe! I'm gonna show her my room okay." Tori yelled back

"Okay." He said.

"Come on follow me." Tori said and motioned for me to follow her. I did

Her room was in the basement. It was pretty cool; she had a queen size bed and her walls were a bright blue with purple flowers painted on. It was kind of girlish for me but it was still cool.

"So what have you been up two, and where have you been, and what happened to you!?" Tori asked.

I laughed "questions question questions!" I said.

She laughed two, "yup."

"Well, I was living in Mercy Falls, umm, I haven't been up to much lately, and I guess just age got to me, saying that I'm taller than you." I said smiling.

"Ha-ha, yeah you got tall your like as tall as Derek now!" she said.

"Yeah, probably!" I said laughing.

"Any boy stories?" She asked.

I laughed, "Besides the fact that one of my guy friends has yellow eyes, not really."

"Wow, no boyfriends yet?" She asked.

"One, and we were dating for a year, his name was Will. But we got in a stupid fight and broke up a while ago." I said it was all true.

"Oh, well that was a long time to date someone though." She said.

"Yeah, mot really." I laughed again, "I'm sure you've had tons though."

"Oh wow, where do I start?!" She said.

So we went into some funny stories of friends and how weird school can get. We talked for about and hour before I decided I should go see Rae two.

"Yeah, she's been missing you a lot lately; I think she needs someone to talk to." Tori said after I said I was going to see Rae.

"Ha, hasn't everyone." I said.

"Pretty much! But here take my cell number so we can talk later." She said, handing me a piece of paper with her cell on it.

"Kay, can do. I'll call you when I figure out where my party'll be kay." I said.

"Yeah, well talk to you later." She said, opening the front door.

"Bye Tori."

"Bye" She yelled and closed the door.

I got into my car, and started it up, Tori has really changed since that whole Edison Group thing. I glanced at the paper my Aunt had written the addresses on and started towards Rae's house.

Rae's house was small, but it didn't look like there was anyone home. I got out of the car and walked up to the door, the temperature was starting to drop now. I knocked… Nothing. I twisted my head a bit so I could hear inside…… Nothing, they must not be home. Oh well, I'll try again tomorrow, I'm sure Aunt Lauren has Rae's number.

I went back to the car and shivered, it had gotten a lot colder now, I cranked up the hear and looked at that paper again. The last address was for Simon Derek and Kit… Did I want to go over there? Or should I start back to Aunt Laurens since it's so cold now. I wanted to see them, but what would they think, would they even be there? Probably. I should just stop bye, see if their there and if not I can head back and get comfy and watch TV.

I drove down to the house, I liked this one better than the rest of the houses I've seen so far, on the left there was a large patch of thick woods and a lot of land between houses. I bet Derek liked that. I squeezed my eyes shut, I hadn't opened the door yet, but I could already feel the chill slipping, and there was a lot of space between the car and the front door of this house. Plus, there wasn't an overhang on the porch. I took a deep breath than opened the door and jumped out, I ran as fast as I could to the door, the wind was whipping at me hard making it colder. I knocked on the door hard, please be home, please be home, please, please! The door opened, Kit was standing there he looked at me blankly for a minute, I was shivering violently now.

"Ummm, who are you?" Kit said.

I looked up at him; I could feel the wolf starting to pull at me.

"Kit! I'm Chloe!" I said, franticly.

"Oh! WOW! Chloe! Come in!" He said.

"Thank-you!" I said, than dashed in.

"Whoa it's cold out there!" Kit said.

"Yeah, it's freezing!" I said.

"Chloe, I'm so sorry I didn't recognize you! You look totally different!" He said.

"I know that's what everyone's saying." I said. I looked around the house. This place was beautiful!

"I love it here!" I said, "Your house is awesome!"

"Thank you, I don't plan on moving ever again. I love it here two." He said.

I looked around again. So far this was the only house I saw that had a white Christmas tree, and then the corner of the house and a little bit more of the wall was a window! It made the living room look bigger.

"What happened to you? You diapered!" Kit said.

"That's what I keep hearing." I said, laughing.

"I bet you haven't talked to any one for 3 years!" He said.

I smiled at him "Been in Mercy Falls, really pretty over there." I said.

"Never been there, never even heard of that place!" He said.

"Yeah, well that's where I live know." I said.

"Why don't you take off your jacket and make yourself at home, I'll go grab the guys." Kit said.

"Okay, thank you." I said.

Kit walked down the hall; I took off my shoes and put them on the mat by the door, than I walked into the big living room with the window wall. I sat down on the couch, it felt really nice hear, almost like I've been here a hundred times. It felt like home.

I heard a door open and than someone go down the stairs, they must have been in the basement. I took the chance before we got into the questions that I always get now to check myself. I smelt my sweater. Great I smelt like wolf… Maybe they wouldn't be able to tell. I hoped not. Than again, maybe it was just my sweater, I took it off and smelt my skin… No I did smell like a wolf… Crap. I put the sweater on since it was actually muffling the smell a bit. A minute later I heard the door open again and Simon's voice, than Kit, but not Derek, I didn't even hear him come up… Was he here?

Simon was the first person I saw, he looked at me and his eyes lit up, a smile grew across his face.

"Hey, Chloe!" He said.

"Hi Simon", I said smiling.

Kit showed up next, followed by Derek, I forgot that he was always such a quiet walker. But I would expect he would talk more at home with his family. Simon came over and sat by me, I was a little taller than him, but his spiked up hair made it up.

"Dang, you look great!" Simon said.

"Thanks."

"So where have you been?" He asked.

"Mercy Falls, really pretty little town, totally shrouded by the woods, it's a small town so everyone knows each other." I said.

Kit and Derek walked into the room and sat down, Kit on the smaller couch in front of me, Derek in a chair in the corner.

"That's cool; we'll have to check it out sometime." Simon said smiling.

"Yeah, you should it would be nice to have you guys there… But I suggest during spring or summer." I said.

"Why than, I'm sure it's beautiful during win-"he was cu off when my phone went off in my pocket. My ring tone was animal I have become by Three Days Grace.

"Umm, well wonder who that is." I said reaching into my sweater pocket, the caller ID on top said it was Sam, what?

"One second, it's Sam." I said.

I opened the phone.

"Sam! Your okay? I thought you… you know." I said, stopping myself from saying phased, or changed.

"No, it's Grace, Chloe, but there is a problem with Sam." Grace said.

My hear skipped a beat "what happened, where is he?" I asked.

"In the back yard, but he's not moving, I don't want to go out there and see if he's okay, I don't know what he'll do if I touch him like this, but… Ugh CHLOE!! WHATS GOING ON!!!" She screamed.

"Calm down Grace, maybe he's just sleeping, there isn't any hunters up there is there, I know there was a problem with that last year. But isn't it illegal to go hunting in that area now?" I said

"No hunters, so maybe your right, maybe he's sleeping but, I'm just scared Chloe."

"Are you at Becks house?" I asked.

"Yeah, I wanted to check if the power was on, for when you come back, I want it to be warm." She said.

I was quiet for a second "I hope it doesn't happen before that, but I'm sure Sam is okay, he's good at avoiding stuff, I told you he's the best out there, and I'm sure you can check on him and everything will be okay."

"Right, okay I just wanted to make sure everything was okay with him, I'm gonna check on him, I'll call you if something is wrong okay."

"Okay, got to go bye."

"Bye."

I hung up and turned back to face them.

"Sorry, emergency back at Becks'" I said,

"Its okay." Simon said.

"Who's Sam?" Derek asked. I looked up at him, relieved that he was talking.

"A friend from school we hang out all the time, Grace is his girlfriend, were really good friends two." I said.

"Oh", was all Derek said than he looked down.

"What was wrong with him?" Kit asked.

"He…. I don't really know how to explain it. He has a sickness that sometimes makes him shutdown, and he's outside right now so… yeah, I think its still snowing down there." I hated lying, especially to Kit and the boys.

My phone went off again, this time it was my text alert, the song Home.

"One second." I flipped open my phone, Grace on Sam's phone again. The text read-

HE AINT SLEEPIN!!!!

HLP!!

"Oh crap! Ummm, how fast do you think you could get me over to Mercy Falls Kit?!" I said.

"Give me the directions and pretty fast I'm sure. Why, what happening!?" He asked.

"I'll explain on the way we just need to go!" I said, standing up and running over to my stuff, putting it on.

"Can we come with?" Simon asked.

"Sure, just HURRY!!" I yelled.

Kit came back with keys and shoes and jacket on.

Derek had his jacket on already; Simon was still getting his arm in.

"Go on out you two, Chloe get in the front, Simon hurry up." Kit yelled.

I ran outside to the car trying to yank the door open. Thank God Derek was right behind me; he yanked open the door, breaking the frost that had it held tight. I jumped in, the cold was biting at me like crazy, I could feel the wolf trying to break through. Derek sat forward and put the keys in the ignition, turning up the heat to high. I put my head on front and panted, heart racing like crazy.

"Thank you" I panted.

When I didn't hear a response I looked at him, not taking my head off the headboard.

"What's going on?" Derek asked confusion and worry in his eyes and face.

I opened my mouth but the door opened before anything came out, the wind bit into me, I groaned and shivered.

"What's wrong?!" Derek asked franticly.

I shook my head and sat up, the door was closed now and the warm air was blowing on me.

"Nothing" I said. I looked back at Derek, he didn't look convinced, and he didn't look happy.

"Okay" he said quietly and sat back in his seat.

"Okay so where should I go?" Kit asked Simon was in back next to Derek pulling his seat belt on.

I gave Kit the directions and put my face in my hands, I felt horrible, for Sam and Grace, and it felt like I was going to change at any moment. Crap.

"Chloe, what wrong, what's going on with Sam… What is Sam?"

Guess I should tell them since I was sending them on this trip through a now ragging snow storm, weird weather here.

"Sam is…" I looked back since I knew Kit was listening two, I wanted to see Derek's reaction. "Kind of like a werewolf" I said, glancing at Derek, his eyes were blank.

"Except he's sensitive to the cold, so during winter he's a wolf, but during summer and spring and sometimes fall he's human. So right now I just got a text that he's in the back yard at Beck's house, whose basically like the leader of their pack, but he's not moving. Another thing about these kinds of werewolves is that, when they're wolves, they don't… they cant… I don't know how to explain it… they cant change back, Sam did it once, but it was to save Grace from the wolves, which is another story, but, they basically don't have a human mind anymore either, they're just wolves, they cant remember anything from being human, they cant even remember their own name." I said, not done explaining, I needed to tell them about what happened with me.

"Okay and what happened with Grace?" Kit asked.

"Grace was attacked by the wolves when she was little girl, but Sam saved her, they got her though, they bit her", I glanced back at Derek he still had a blank look in his eyes, but I knew he was listening. "She isn't one of them though, I mean, she can hear and smell like a werewolf, but she cant change, they think its because when she was sick, because you get sick before it fully sets in, she was left in the car on accident on an extremely hot summer day, so they think that the wolf was killed from the heat. Since they cant change back unless its warm enough, and that illness is a really high temperature. So yeah, another thing is that, once that sickness is over… They phase back and forth uncontrollably, so with Sam, when that happened to him, his parents thought that a demon had possessed him and they cut his wrists and put him in the bath trying to get the blood out of him." I shuddered at the thought "it stopped, and it does stop, until winter, than they change for real and cant go back till spring…"

It was quiet for a second, I didn't mind it, I was out of breath.

"So what happened with Sam, like with his parents? Does he still live with them?" Derek asked after a minute.

"No, he lives with Beck, so does Grace for the most part, but when Sam phases she goes home, unless there's someone else there most of the time I'm there, until…" The next words got stuck in my throat.

"Until what?" All three of them asked.

I was quiet I didn't want to say it; I knew I should though… I felt a hand on my shoulder, I looked back, Derek was looking at me, his eyes were full of worry.

"You don't have to say if you don't want to Chloe." Derek said his voice soft.

I gulped, "No, I need to tell someone over here…"

Derek's eyes flashed, not an angry flash like before, more like a blaze of realization.

"You mean, the reason why you were acting weird when we got in… It's because…. Your one of them aren't you." He said.

I nodded.

"WHAT!" Kit and Simon said.

Derek stayed quiet, holding my gaze, than his eyes blazed again, this time it was a protective radiance, he reached forward and cranked the heat up higher.

"Were not going to let you phase." He said sternly, than he took my gaze again "I promise."

"Thank you."

"How did it happen?" Simon asked. I broke my gaze away from Derek's.

I sighed "I was just outside talking with my friend Sarah, the snow was probably about 3 inches high and it was snowing we were walking on the bike path and we came up on the woods part. Sarah saw one of her friends from school up ahead and took off running, I followed her, but she runs track and was way faster than me, I fell behind fast, the snow had picked up. So I slowed down because I knew she would wait for me once she found her friend, she's nice like that and next thing I remember is waking up on the ground with the arm of my jacket ripped off and a hole in my sweater, blood soaking it and even though it was a black sweater the blood had stained it to red…" I shuddered, the sight of that blood and the bit mark still scared me. I put my hand on where I was bitten. I still had a scar from it. I rubbed my face and shuddered again. I felt Derek's hand on my back again, rubbing.

"Dang Chloe, that had to be scary!" Simon said.

"Ya think!" I said, my voice quavering.

"But its over now, there isn't a reason to worry anymore right?" Derek asked

"No, well I don't know, we don't know what happened to that wolf, I know it was a white wolf, Sarah was bit by the same wolf, but the only white one in Mercy Falls is Olivia and its not her for sure."

"Wait, what color is your fur Chloe, do you know?" Simon asked.

"Yeah, I actually have a couple pictures; Grace takes pictures of us as wolves so we know what we look like."

"Whoa, that has to be weird feeling! You'll have to show us them when we get there! But what color are you?"

"bluish-black" I said.

"How can you tell its you?" Derek asked.

"Eyes, I'm the only one that has blue eyes."

"What does Sam look like, human and wolf?" Simon asked.

"As a human Sam is the same height as me, with black hair and yellow eyes, and not a hazel yellow, yellow eyes." I said looking back.

"Wow, that's weird, how bout as a wolf?"

"Gray wolf with yellow eyes."

"Cool" Simon said.

It got quiet after that. I had set up Kit's GPS to find Mercy Falls so I didn't have to tell him what turn to take and when he should turn every time. I was texting Gracie, she said she had Sam inside now, and it was not easy getting him in, and that he was breathing but he wasn't waking up even when she had her hand on his mouth. I was still scared. But at least he's breathing. Simon and I switched places after a while because I was about to fall asleep. I had just been outside for a second and it was so cold that I had doubled over like Sam had after seeing that movie. Derek let me put my head on his shoulder than he put his arm around me to keep me warm. I was warm now but we were still in that position, I was about to fall asleep, I could tell, my eye lids felt so heavy, and whenever someone talked the words would bend together, but when Derek talked it was relaxing for some reason I think it was because he had that rumble added to his voice. Kind of like my favorite singer Adam Gontier, that grumbling like sound. I started to shiver after a while, but I was ¾ asleep, but I did feel something get draped over me by Derek, than he rubbed my side, his hands soft. Finally I fell asleep.
