Jessica walked down the stairs heading for the kitchen for her daily midnight snack, she along with her older sisters were glad to see their brother even though they got to see him at the mansion when they had the time, she thought that of what Jake was going through was the most craziest thing that ever happened in hers and more importantly Jake's life and she knew in the end he would be bitter and depressed or at least that's what she read about recently.
When Jessica reached the kitchen she almost let out a scream when a pair of golden wolf eyes were staring at her but she relaxed when she heard her older brother's deep voice "relax don't want to wake every one, it's just me" Jake said turning on a kitchen light to help her eye sight, she let out a sigh of relief and scolded her older brother as she opened the fridge taking out a pitcher of orange juice and saw that her brother was picking on the left over roast beef
Jess thought about teasing her brother and then remembered his temper became much more dangerous and maybe the most simple tease could make him snap so she decided to say something to him that wont bound to stir his anger "are you going to the dance?" she asked and Jake looked at her with an amused look and went back to eating
"Can't" he replied and took a sip out of her cup of orange juice and emediantly put a look of disgust as if the beast didn't like the beverage and Jessica let out a giggle at the look of his face and then realized what he said
"Wait, what do you mean you can't?" she asked looking kind of confused at her brothers statement as she took a bite of a granola bar not taking her eyes off her older brother
"It's a full moon on the day of the dance and it's a few days from now, Dan had already failed his second attempt on the cure and so far he says he'd be done with the third try in a few days" Jake said and looked down at his youngest sister who looked like a realization popped in her mind "and don't think I'll be good and human on the dance, I still have to get rid of that monster and I am not in the mood to even look at him" he said with a cynical tone as he snapped a piece beef with his sharp teeth and chewed
"Im guessing it wasn't a friendly encounter with him right?" Jessica said and knew her mistake, Jake looked scary with the toothy sneer and shook his head in disgust as he now satisfied his beastly hunger and put the now almost finished beef back in the fridge when he closed it he still had the sneer on his face
"That fucking bastard is nothing but a creep" he said and saw the shocked look on his sisters face at the use of foul language that definitely wasn't allowed in this house "spoke with a prissy British accent but the look in his eyes told me he causes nothing more but pain and suffering, and the way he looked at Frida with that sadistic look in his eyes just told me his full intentions" he continued walking out of the kitchen heading for the stairs before stopping
"And you" Jake said pointing at her and with a serious look on his face that she so used to seeing "if that freak decides to attack the school I don't want you or our sisters to stay behind, the first glimpse you guys catch of him I want you three out of there" and with that he went up the stairs to his room leaving her alone in the kitchen, she now thought to herself
Great his second time back home and the first thing you do is get him in a bad mood she thought to herself as she put away the orange juice and turned off the kitchen lights.

Jaq and Jen always had this habit to wake up their brother on Saturday but when they poked their heads in his room the two were having second thoughts, his room was a dark green color and looked almost black it had only one window that hardly let in any light, his room was well organized and clean but after his change it was a bit messy and it seemed strange that the darkness in this room matched his dark personality
Jaqueline being the oldest was mature and reasonable but on the other hand she could always have her childish moments, Jen was very mischievous and cunning (just think of her like Alex Russo) and always loved grating on her brothers nerves but now with their brother being a werewolf they were kind of scared of what he might do.
Jaq being the bravest of the three girls walked toward his bed and looked at her brothers sleeping form before scurrying back to the door when he let out a low growl warning her away "I can't do it" she whispered as she looked at Jen as she rolled her eyes
"Come on, it's Jake, our brother, you know he would never hurt us" Jen said almost feeling like she had to prove everyone wrong these days
"Then you go and wake him, at what he is now I don't know how he would react" Jaq lowered her voice when Jake stirred in his sleep mumbling something they couldn't understand, with a quiet fine in answer Jen took a few steps toward the bed before making a crouching position ready to jump on her brother
Jen took a deep breath and jumped on her brother but when she landed on top of Jake she shrieked when he let out an aggressive snarl rolling over and pinning her to the ground sneering with his hand in a fist ready to give the intruder a very horrid welcome, Jake's face soften when he recognized his shocked sister under his grasp, he stood up and saw that Jaq looked shocked as well
"Are you two going to keep waking me until you leave for college or what?" he asked not sounding mad at all seeming to get used to the early wakeup call every Saturday as he helped Jen who was still in a state of shock back on her feet with an easy lift
"We won't anymore" Jaqueline trailed off as the three left the room downstairs to the kitchen not bothering to wake up their youngest sibling Jessie.
When they reached the kitchen their mom was at the stove making chilakiles (a Mexican dish) and breakfast sausages while their dad was at the table reading the news paper and drinking coffee when he looked up and looked at them he seemed amused "everything alright? Heard someone scream upstairs" he said taking a sip of his coffee as Jen sat at the table taking a piece of toast and biting it seemingly embarrassed that she shrieked
"Lets just say we now know what happens when you jump on your werewolf brother while hes asleep" Jaq replied serving a cup of coffee for herself and Jake as he let out a small chuckle and saw that his dad was trying his best not to laugh as well
"So did you sleep well hon? Mr. Fenton told us your were having trouble sleeping lately" Juliana said serving two plates at the table and looked at her son with concern as they looked at him waiting for an answer, Jake mentally shook his head at his mother she was protective of her kids and acted like a mother bear when danger struck them
Jake looked at his mother with a fleeting look "I slept fine" Jake replied putting a fake smile before darker thoughts appeared in his mind as he clutched his mug with too much strength "if it weren't for that dirty mongrel who ruined my life and is up to no good" he said in a dark way not realizing how much strength he put until the mug broke spilling the last bit of coffee
His mom went to get a towel as Jake sat there with a blank look and ignored the concerned look of his parents and his sisters face "is your hand okay?" Jaq asked looking at her little brother's hand expecting a wound or something
"Perfectly fine, the perks of being a werewolf" he said moving his food around with his fork and Jen figured a good way to cheer his mood, it may be cruel and cynical but it would cheer him up
"Look at the bright side, the next time you see that son of a - …" she stopped track by the looks on her parents face telling her to watch her language "I mean dirty mongrel you can rip him apart and kill him just like what your always about to do to the guys at school, but this time no one will stop you" Jen said smiling to see Jake's face brighten slightly only to freak her out when a sadistic dark look appeared in his eyes
Adan seemed to see the change in his son's gaze too "that monster deserves it, but when you finish with him remember to keep control alright, he'll be the only living being that you'll be killing alright?" he said looking at his son with a look that secretly told Jake that he should have control when the time comes for the fight
"Don't worry, it's not like after the fight I'll go into a complete prey drive and brutally kill anyone that comes in my way…at least that's what I think" he mused before seeing the almost horrified looks on his families face "i'm just kidding, i'm going to take a shower I smell like a dog" he said getting up from the table going to his room
When he entered his room he was surprised to see his dog Leah in his room sleeping on her cushion, after what happened to him his dogs became a little weary toward him as if he were someone else but Leah having imprinted on her master the day he got her as a puppy was already getting back to her old playful and energetic self again, Killer Jake's other German shepherd on the other hand acted suspicious toward his master and treated him like any other male dog as if he knew what changed and to tell you Killer was not the kind of dog anyone would want to face alone, that behavior reminded Jake a lot about himself
Jake scoffed at his dog as he entered the bathroom and looked at his reflexion in the mirror and saw why many people were scared of him, his dark eyes held the tint of golden brown from his beast form and they held a wild look in them and every sneer hes been making since the change was starting to slightly mark his dark face
He stripped off his pajamas and got in the shower feeling relaxed as the tepid water hit his warm back as he began to wash his dark hair; his mind wandered off to the one thing he thought about most of the time: Frida, she had taken is revelation quite well and even though yesterday's action was a terrifying shock to her she recovered the moment he drove them home, Frida was someone that recovered quickly but she was quite emotional and would take things at heart.
When he got out of the shower he put on a pair of navy boxers with dark jeans on top, he didn't bother putting on a shirt his new body heat was enough to make a person feel like he was in a oven but Jake got used to it rather quickly;
for a guy that was a threat at school he was someone who could make a girl turn into jell-o just by speaking to them, he wasn't the scrawny little kid he used to be on his first day of high school, he changed a lot in the past few years, he used to be a weak kid who was sweet and always stayed out of trouble and now he was a tough dark serious guy with the biggest school records file in the place for all the fights he got into,
he was definitely not scrawny anymore, his muscular body was the one thing that made his girlfriend go weak kneed, his biceps were huge even bigger looking when his arms were crossed, his eight pack was defined and sculpted and to top it off were his broad shoulders, yep Jake was a big tough guy who replaced the small innocent freshman boy; of course Jake never put a thought about his handsome looks and was fine with the things were in his life except one thing
Jake sat on his bed and looked at his left arm where the scar was, from all the fights he got into he only received bruises and sore parts while others suffered a lot worse but the scar that rested on his left lower arm would scare him for life, he would never be the same even if he was turned back to normal the scar would remain as a reminder of what happened to him
His thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door "come in" he said silently and smiled briefly at the sight of his girlfriend until looking back at the horrid scar on his arm
Frida knew her boyfriend too well to see that he was thinking about the current situation he was in, she leaned against his body welcoming the warmth that radiated from his body, Frida looked at her boyfriend who was studying his arm and even though Jake didn't smile that often the look on his face reminded her of a sad puppy and it would make anyone feel bad for him before they knew what he was
"You okay Jake?" she asked with concern
"No, it's only passed a week and a half since that werewolf bit me and i'm already starting to act like him: cruel, sadistic wanting nothing more to see a living being die and suffer and I turned cocky" he said looking at her as he stood up and walked to his desk looking at a picture from when he and Frida were nine
"You were always cocky" Frida said but the look he gave her told her that wasn't helping much
Jake kept looking at the picture and looked at his past self and saw his reflexion against the glass as if comparing how he was before and how he is now "i'm a monster" he said before setting the picture gently back on the desk and looked at her
"I don't believe that" Frida said walking up to him as she put a smooth soft pale hand on his rough dark one, Jake moved his hand away only to put it back on the desk next to her leaving the girl between him and the desk, when she looked in his eyes she saw care and love that she knew he felt for her
"Its cause you're so stuck up in the past believing i'm still that sweet kid who was your best friend and who you grew up with" he said with a rough tone but she knew the beast within didn't like how Jake was in the past but Jake held respect for his past
"Im stuck up with seeing the man I fell in love with, not a monster" she said gently laying her palm against his cheek soothing Jake to overcome the beastly attitude as he pressed his lips against hers not as rough as before, her hands slipped down to his toned chest making him deepen their kiss but just as things were going to get out of control Frida separated from the kiss making Jake a little disgruntled "I told your parents we were going to Joe's place, and it's a bit early to be doing this" she said blushing a little making Jake smirk
"Alright" he whispered in her ear making her shiver "but that halfa offspring of Dans better stay within two feet away from you" he finished nipping her earlobe possessively and finally let her go so he could finish changing
Frida thought her boyfriends change had closed for no more optional traits but apparently jealousy and hormones came along, his jealous rage made him make sure not even a single guy got near her even older men, the moment he would see a science partner of hers talk with her Jake would act like a guard dog and give the guy the most threatening glare he'd ever seen
But the worst part in the new upcoming change was his personality, he seemed to act like two different people, sometimes he would act like his calm serious self but in moments a darker, rude and more cruel personality would appear and she knew well it was the beast wanting to take control, the only thing that didn't change was his love for her, even in his darker personality he still loved her only being aggressively possessive.
His hormones wasn't hardly a problem to her, his flirting and playfulness made her blush most of the time and whenever they had time alone some things would heat up a little between them.
She blushed at the thought and went downstairs.

Jake tolerated crowded rooms but the beast didn't like it one bit, even though Joe's room was twice as big than his and to newcomers surprise had an upper level, eight people in one room were enough to make him squirm and the attention he was getting wasn't pleasing. Not one bit.
"So, let me clear this out, you're a werewolf?" their friend Kevin Smith asked looking at his friend with curiosity
Jake cracked his neck out of pure habit and glared at his friends "yes, do you want me to clear it out for you by showing you my large canines or do I have to lift that couch up with you guys still on it?" he said bitterly, Jake liked being the private kind of guy, the only thing he did to draw attention to himself was his excellent soccer skills and his fights
"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the den this morning" Tamera Foley muttered to her twin sister Tia but it was obvious Jake heard because he looked just as ticked off as a rabid wolf ready to attack because she lifted her hands waving them as if wanting to erase her last comment because Jake settled back on his seat holding his girlfriend close to him
"So that's why you haven't been going to classes recently?" Liam Anders asked looking his way but never catching his friend's eyes knowing how much it bothered Jake
"That's pretty much it" Jake replied sounding bored looking at his nails and then stared intently at his kinked finger and then looked at his friends "what's up with my finger?" he asked lifting up his middle finger at them, they didn't know wither to look shocked by the fact he never used the finger before or by the fact he just asked that question
Lily decided she should answer but was pretty sure she would get a smart ass talk back "you've been using that hand a lot for punching guys faces that your finger pretty much stayed that way" she said looking at Jake who turned his focus on Frida's hair
When he looked back at her his expression held mere amusement and pure arrogance "like I didn't know that" he said before getting up and headed to the door stopping once to glare at Joe's Siberian husky that was growling at him before it looked at his face and scampered off further in his master's room
When they were sure Jake was out of earshot they all looked at Frida "okay I only known him for thirteen years, and I know he could have a cruddy attitude but I do know for sure he never acted that rude toward a girl, what's up with him?" Tia asked looking at Frida as they waited for her to answer
"Let's just say he and the beast fight for control, what you saw moments ago was the beast" Frida answered looking sheepish and looked at her manicured nails
"And you deal with that?" Joe asked starting to act a little protective if he knew Jake didn't have control over himself completely and a horrible monster can take his place now and then
"Joe hes my boyfriend, i'm not going to abandon him because of what hes became, okay" she said sternly and turned to face the others "and it bothers him that you guys keep mentioning it, so stop" she continued and brushed some blonde hair out of her face
"And what if he hurt you?" Joe asked and the moment he did she looked at him with a shocked look and was about to talk back until someone else did
"You'd think I'd hurt her?" they turned to see Jake standing at the doorway, even though his voice was inked with disbelief his face told a different story, his sneer was now recognizable when he was angry and his eyes were gold and wolf like
"I never said that" Joe said as the others moved away as Jake stalked toward Joe in a predatory way that made everyone in the room wonder what would happen, when Jake was angry at someone the fight would be ugly but if he were angry at Joe it was a different story, he knew Joe could protect himself easily and with that Jake gave no second thought of mercy toward his best friend and now was one of those times
"But you mentioned it" Jake said growling at the end of the sentence, anyone who would growl would look silly but with Jake he looked just as dangerous as he was, he was still walking toward Joe as he backed away as far as possible from the guy
"Look dude, I didn't mean it okay?" Joe said trying to keep his voice from cracking with pure fear, it was obvious Jake could sense his fear he sensed everyone's fear as if it were written all over their faces but only one person in the room wasn't afraid and it was Frida, she knew she couldn't let Jake get in another fight and she knew if they fought now they would both be injured. Badly. She walked up in front of her boyfriend preventing him from moving forward but with his supernatural strength he was able to move forward even with her in his way
Frida did the next thing that came in mind, she grabbed his face making him look down at her and she spoke calmly knowing a stressed voice wouldn't help "Jake please stop, it's not him your mad at remember?" she said keeping his focus on her as she stroked his face "its that werewolf remember? Hes the one who started it, don't let your anger out on someone who was just being concerned over me, okay?" Frida continued and everyone was surprised that Jake just stood there listening to her "you would never hurt me and we both know it" she said giving him a small peck on the lips before letting his face go
Jake straighten up glared at Joe once before his whole body changed, everyone saw the difference at the very instant when he was angry every muscle in his body tensed and now he looked relaxed, Jake stood there looking at his girlfriend for a moment "I'll be talking with Dan if you need me, okay?" he said brushing some of her blonde hair out of her flushed face as she nodded before he left the room with no further comment
Frida turned around to look at Joe with a serious look on her face but her eyes glistened with tears "don't ever do that to him again you hear me?" she said in a serious tone that was bound to crack any second "hes already going through enough stress and he doesn't need the horrible thought of getting the idea that he might hurt me okay" she continued as a tear trailed down her cheek before she left the room leaving the six others in total shock and Joe in shame that he actually put his best friend in through that much in just minutes.
Liam looked out the door to where they last went before looking at Joe "even though Jake almost tried to kill you, Frida is right he has been getting very stressed lately to what I seen and what you said didn't help one bit" he said looking serious at his friend "and even though i'm not a dangerous supernatural being, you should say sorry for that assumption of yours" Liam finished as the others nodded
"I didn't exactly mean it" Joe said trying to lighten up the tension
"Yeah, but you shouldn't have said it in the first place" Lily said looking at her twin brother with her arms crossed on her chest "Jakes your best friend Joe and saying something like that sure made him think two things: one, if you really trust him and two, if he'd actually hurt Frida, that was way low Joseph" she said scolding her brother
"I guess i'm the one who should apologize right?" he said in a low voice but it was clear every one heard it because they all put looks of disbelief on how dense they thought he was
"What was your first clue, jackass" Tamera said looking at him like he was a complete idiot, without saying another word Joe left the room and headed to his dad's study assuming Jake would still be there and to his luck he was still there
Jake watched as Danny worked with things on the cure and by the looks of it people would say he was doing a scientific experiment for the type of utensils he was using some looked like needles, by Jake's side Frida was tucked under his arm that was wrapped around her and even though Jake looked deep in thought and somewhat stressed Frida looked like she was more affected by Joe's unnecessary comment than Jake did, when Jake noticed Joe he looked like he had worse things to deal with
"Jake, i'm so - ..." Joe was interrupted by Jake who walked away from Dan and Frida grabbing the block of metal that lay there many days and tossed hand to hand as if he had better things to do
"Fenton, I have worse things to deal with right now okay? And I had up to here of anyone mentioning my problem, so fuck off and leave me alone alright" Jake said placing the metal block on the ground with a loud thump and marched off to the exit with Frida behind him
"Come on Jake, just hear me out okay? Im sorry if what I said bothered you, I didn't mean what I said I just got worried" Joe said following Jake until his friend stopped and looked at Joe with a amused look on his face "and I know I was stupid for even thinking that, to Frida your practically a giant teddy bear that she can hug and kiss and…" he stopped track when he noticed how dumb he sounded and by his two friend's amused looks that thought so too "sorry?" he finished lamely
Jake looked at Joe for a moment as if considering the apology his friend just gave but then put a serious look and walked up to Joe "I told you to look after Frida, not to be talking behind my back, if you do it again I'll rip your mouth off" he muttered in a low dangerous voice so Frida wouldn't hear what he said "got it" he muttered and looked satisfied when Joe nodded his head rapidly
"Got it" Joe said voice sounding kind of squeaky in fear by the unnaturally cruel look in his friend's eyes
"Good" Jake finished and then clapped his hands together as if he accomplished something and then his normal Jake self came back "see ya later Joe" he said smiling but the smile still didn't look nice and welcoming as he turned around putting his arm around Frida's shoulder and led her outside leaving a rather petrified Joe Fenton behind.
When he walked back in his room only Liam and Kevin were still there as they looked at him expectantly "well, did you say sorry?" Kevin asked not wondering why his friend looked so freaked out and scared
"Yeah, I said sorry and I think he accepted it" Joe replied sitting down on his arm chair still looking slightly freaked and then added "it's gonna take some time getting used to his double personality" he said making his two friends look at him with confusion.
