Enters Scott

It's been almost a week since it's been revealed my family are werewolves. The sun will be down in another hour or so, I'm laying across the couch, Time after time playing on the radio as I look threw a Sports Illustrated magazine. The calm of the evening is interrupted with a Sam screaming.

" Mike, Mike!" Sam had been itching all over like he got in poison ivy, so I told him to go take a bath. Sounded like a good idea at the time.

I run up and pop the door open to be greeted by a scared, hairy and wet Sam. A very hairy Sam. I couldn't help but stare at him. When I envisioned Sams' change, I expected like muzzle full of teeth, not Sam looking like a, a...

" You look like a blond Wookie." I blurt out, it was just the first thing to pop in my head and now I'm trying to stop from snickering and fathering Sams' embarrassment.

" Not funny! I'm not a Wookie you blood sucking zombie!" Sams cheeks had turned bright red. His face fingers and toes are the only parts not hairy and those have nasty looking claws on the ends of them.

" Whatever you say." I couldn't hold it much longer at this rate, I quieted down when Sam threw something at me. " Ouch that hurt." I burst out laughing when I saw it was a can of shaving cream.


**** Wookies ****

Howard's out on the porch, his son had just called from a pay phone getting directions from him. After their visit with us, the two are going to drive up to the old ranch house to get Scott set up for the night and ready to start work on the house in the morning.

Sam and I come out when we see lights flash across the driveway and a large van pull up, it had Howards' Hardware across the side. Out stepped a guy about my age with short brown hair that wasn't styled, who wore a long sleeve button up shirt, there looked like another shirt was under it and he also wore blue jeans. He looked at me with a bit of uncertainty. This had to be Scott, cause there should be no reason for anyone else to be here.

" Scott it took you a while, you drove all the way here?" Howard shakes his head.

" I didn't like the idea of flying, sorry it took so long." Scott walks over to us, glancing from me to Sam. " So you're Sam right? My dad told me about you. I'm Scott." He then looked at me. " You are..."

" I'm Micheal, Sams' older brother, Sam took after mom." I state mater of factually, it was true enough, Sam did take a little more after mom. I looked like my dad, if my father wasn't old and overweight. I had no interest in bringing up my father to a stranger.

" So you are a werewolf too?" Sam asks, stepping forward out of curiosity.

" You mean Wookie?" I smirk, Scott gives me a look, not liking the comment I had just said.

Sam steps on my foot. " Death breath!" Sam making an exaggerated show of hurt and being insulted.

" Hey, it might be a lot to handle that werewolves exist and your brothers one, but no need to be calling names." Scott was a bit insulted at the remark I made at Sam, I had struck a nerve, but guess he didn't realize I was only teasing Sam and took it a little personal.

" Yea, no name calling Mike! You big bully!" Sam was playing tough, and made a mean expression at me.

" Don't make me shave you. Wookie." I smirked still, this earned me getting kicked in the shin by Sam and him running inside, I took off chasing him.

I herd a hey! behind me and sounded as if Scott was chasing us, I think also Howard was following to.

I caught Sam in his room and we hit the floor, be locking an arm around his neck. This probably looked bad as Sam was making good use of his new found werewolf strength and started thrashing trying to knock me off, but I was still able to hold him a head lock on the floor.

" Hey, what..." Scott was at the door and saw us on the floor, his eyes went wide and he wolfs out, this got my attention and just as he's about to come in to break me and Sam apart, his arm's grabbed by Howard.

" Scott, don't." Howards' voice was near commanding, making Scott stop.

" What is going on here?!" Mom

" Nothing to worry about Lucy, Scott just thought Micheal might get hurt." Howard Said calmly, keeping his eyes on me as he pulled a confused Scott from the room.

I dropped my hold on Sam, but soon as I did that, Sam was on top of me trying to pin me to the ground.

" Dad he's going to get hurt!" I hear Scott, but can't see him for the Wookie of a brother growling on top of me.

" Sam?" Mom sounded a bit upset and unsure.

I pushed Sam off, I had a few scratches from his claws, but nothing bad. I got up and brushed myself off, Sam sat on the floor, huffing.

" I could have won!" Sam huffed out threw deep breaths, he was winded.

" Yea and pigs fly." I smirked down at him, then looked questioningly to Scott who looked very confused, hairy, but confused.


**** Getting a Clue ****

" Scott, Micheal's different, he wont get harmed wrestling or getting his brother angry at him, it's a little hard to exp." Howard looks a bit speechless as Sam interrupts him, not so much for the interruption, but Sams' choice of words.

" Mike's a big Blood Sucking zombie..." Sam had a way with words, and right now with mom here and another adult, he wasn't going to use the full range of them.

" Hey, shut it Wookie!" I snap.

Scott might be getting an idea who the big mouth insulter is of this family and it isn't me. He didn't say anything about the Wookie comment, finally getting that it was only directed at Sam, I could tell he didn't care for it though.

" You two stop it." Mom sounded frustrated and she looked a tad embarrassed. " Sam don't be rude."

" Sorry" We both say in unison.

" Scott, Micheal's is a um, vampire." Howard says to clarify Sams' words. " He wasn't in any danger of getting hurt accidentally and the two of them are brothers and often pick on each other, so Micheal meant no harm by his comment."

" A vampire?" Scott looked disbelieving. " How does that work, I mean don't vampires burn in the sun and ... Drink blood, or that a myth?"

" I don't think I'd be a vampire if I didn't drink blood, I'm pretty sure blood drinking is what makes a vampire a vampire." My tone got me a look from my mom and Sam, I try not to show my annoyance and continued. "I'm not completely a vampire, it's complicated to explain, your dad seems to know more than I do anyway. I drink animal blood from animals my grandpa kills to stuff." I found his hobby a bit creepy and wasn't sure if there was a name for the animals. I knew it was called taxidermy or something like that, just not what the animals themselves are called.

" Scott, I'm just asking you to help Sam with adjusting to this if he needs, but you need to stay out of anything between them, if you think one of them will get hurt, get their grandfather or me, don't jump in." Howard looks at mom then back to Scott." If I not stopped you and you tried to pull Micheal off or away from Sam earlier, he could have interpreted that wrong and attack out of anger." Scott nods and looks at me.

" Don't look them directly in the eyes, while we might ignore a human doing that, vampires wont ignore it regardless if you know better or not. They also growl like we do when angry or upset." Howard was giving Scott a crash coarse in vampire 101 and how to deal with one, starting by giving the similarities we have. " Also it is most important that you do not approach Micheals' pack, they are unlikely to be accepting of you and consider you an intruder like they would their own kind entering their territory, at least at this time anyway."

I had a feeling David likely would consider Scott and intruder if Scott wasn't careful and tried to talk to David on even terms. I'm not sure what The boys opinions are of werewolves, but if it's anything like they have towards humans, Scott would be putting himself at risk trying to speak with them.
