Sam's POV

"HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME!" I clamped my hands over my ears to block out the screams for help.

"Gah! Somebody help them!" I said to myself as I paced around my room trying to stay human. Fail. I felt my clothes rip as I turned into a wolf. Again. I changed back into myself and tossed the ripped clothes in a pile of other clothes. I put on some gym shorts and a huge T-shirt. I sighed and plopped down on my unmade bed. Suddenly, my door burst open as Carly staggered in. Her hair was a mess, her eyes were blood-shot, and she had immense dark circles under her eyes.

"Sam," she moaned, "I can't keep doing this." She collapsed in my fuzzy beanbag chair and rubbed her eyes.

"I'm sorry Carly!" I said throwing my hands in the air. Carly has been by herself for the last week every night. Overall, she hasn't slept in a while.

"I can't work alone. It's too much work."

"Where the hell is Fre- HIM!"

"Where the hell are you Sam! You don't answer my texts, you've been shut up in your room for the last week! When I sense you transforming, you just change back to a human!" Carly sighed again and fell back into the chair with an angry huff.

"I'm sorry." I muttered. Carly's eyes drooped lower as she leaned her head back against the chair. Soon, Carly's gentle breathing floated from the corner. This was probably the first time Carly's slept in a week. I pulled a blanket off my floor and tossed it over Carly's limp body. I felt bad that I wasn't there to help her out; I really didn't want to face…him.

"Help! Somebody help!" A voice cried out from the city.

"Carly are you-" I turned around, expecting to see a pure white wolf staring back at me, but Carly was still zonked in the corner. I sighed and felt myself changing. After avoiding this for a week, I felt a little out of balance in my wolf form. I hopped out my window and ran through the cool November air. The wind bit at my face and sharpened my senses as the scent got stronger. I arrived at the scene to see a man being robbed by a thug. I analyzed the thug as a serial robber that's been wanted by the police for a while. I lowered myself, ready to pounce, whensomething else beat me too it. Freddie was already taking care of the man, finishing off with a long howl. I backed up into the shadows with my head low. Freddie looked around for a minute, sighed, and looked at the moon.

"Sam…I'm sorry." He whispered to himself. He ran off into the night and disappeared. My heart lifted as I raced back to my house.

"Carly Carly!" I called. I burst into my room to find it empty. "Carly?" I looked out my window to see a white wolf and a rusty brown wolf nuzzling each other. I backed up slowly and closed the window. The image burned in my eyes as I sat on my bed, hugging my knees. Anger rushed through my veins. Faster and faster until I felt myself changing. My clothes ripped as fur sprouted all over my body. I curled up in the corner of my room and tried to fall asleep. My eyes replayed the image of Carly and Freddie whenever I closed them. When I opened them, reality crashed down on me and I would be drenched in my pain again.

I couldn't stand being in my room anymore so I prepared to jump out my window into the night. My door opened and Freddie walked in. He looked surprised to see me in non-human form. I growled savagely and stalked towards him.

"Sam? What are you doing?" Freddie said, backing up against a wall. I grabbed his shirt with my teeth and threw him against the ground. I snarled in his face, and snapped at him. I turned and ran towards the window.

"Sam wait! Please wait!" Freddie phased suddenly and chased after me. I ran through alleys and traffic trying to lose him but he kept up just fine. He cornered me in an alley as I backed up against the nasty bricks.

"Keep away from me." I threatened.

"Sam, I just want to talk." Freddie said gently. He took a small step forward. I snapped at his paw.

"Why talk to me? Why don't you talk with your precious little girlfriend?" I snarled. Freddie shot me a questioning look.

"What are you talking about?" he said.

"CARLY! I SAW YOU GUYS NUZZLING EACH OTHER OUTSIDE MY WINDOW!" I screamed at him. Freddie's eyes flickered, snapping him back to attention. "Oh, okay. Fantasize about her right in front of me. Thanks. Makes me feel good about myself." I pushed past him and ran out of sight. I pulled back my head and let out a loud, painful howl into the night. I whimpered then fell in the dirt.
