"I could smell human around their house. I'm pretty sure that's where she is."
"Are you completely sure?" Demetri asked the cowering vampire.
"Yes! I'm sure, I'm sure!"
"Well then, I shall have to pay a short visit to the Cullens."
--------------
Already a whole month had passed ever since the threat of being discovered. Everyone went through their days as usual, yet Alice always kept a wary eye on the future.
However, since there had been nothing to suggest any sort of danger, nobody thought it unsafe when Mark and Sadie decided to go out on a walk in the woods. Of course, there was a slight chance a vampire would appear, but the Cullens were confident that Mark could probably handle the situation, and if not, they were close enough to help him carry out the deed.
--------------
Mark and Sadie dressed warmly for the cold outside. They weren't sure what they would do, but they were tired of staying indoors at all times.
Once they were done, they stepped into the cold outside. A chilly breeze went by, ruffling Mark's hair and tangling Sadie's. They walked a short way into the forest, just looking at the cold, dead trees.
"This is so depressing," Sadie stated.
"Yeah, but it's better than being inside."
"Yeah, I guess so."
They walked a while longer, trekking even deeper into the woods.
They had stopped feeling the cold as warmth was produced by their moving bodies, and soon they began to talk again. They recounted things that had happened at school, what had happened with Mark's friends, and they talked about the Cullens.
"Alice keeps insisting that I wear all the really expensive stuff."
"Just tell her no."
"I do, but she never listens."
"Have you tried talking to someone else?"
"Yeah, Bella has the same taste I do, but she's not over there often enough to help out. By the way, what keeps her and Edward away all the time? Why don't they live in Carlisle's house like everyone else?"
"Um, I don't know."
"You're lying."
"How can you tell?"
"I've known you for a while now."
"Yeah, but not that long."
"Mark."
"Ok, ok. Maybe I do know, but I'm not at liberty to discuss that at the moment."
"Which means you're sworn to secrecy."
"Yeah, pretty much."
"Urgh. I'm getting so annoyed about how everyone keeps secrets from me."
"Aw, come on! It's not like we keep so many from you."
"Uh huh, yeah right. One big secret, how come there's people after me in the first place? It makes no sense; I never did anything to anybody, nor did I see something I wasn't supposed to."
"I really can't say why-"
"And why do the Cullens never eat anything?"
"Sadie, I-"
"Where are you when you're not at school?"
"I'm-"
"Can you answer all those questions?"
"Well, no."
"I knew it."
"Sorry."
"It's all right; I'm just getting a bit annoyed by everything."
"Well, I know something that can help with that."
"Oh really?"
"Yep. Roasting marshmallows."
"Oh, you're right. That might help, at least for a while."
"Ok, so you'll agree to stop harassing me if we hang out for a while and roast marshmallows and stuff?"
"Maybe just for a while."
They turned to go back to the Cullens large house, when the wind shifted, suddenly blowing the opposite way.
Sadie ignored the wind.
"Come on, Mark!" she called.
--------------
Mark stood stiffly, his nostrils flaring slightly as he sniffed the wind. He knew that smell, he could recognize it anywhere, and its meaning raised the hairs on the back of his neck.
"Vampire"
Mark knew he didn't have a lot of time, he had to get Sadie out of there as fast as possible, but the vampire was so close. Mark knew that even if he carried Sadie, the bloodsucker would catch up to them in a few seconds.
So he did the only thing he could. He called upon his wolfish nature, letting it overpower him.
"Mark, let's g-"
Sadie stopped as she turned around and saw Mark.
--------------
Sadie had never seen anything like this before. Her best friend's body was slowly expanding; hair was coming out of every pore of his body. His clothing began to rip at the seams as Mark's arms got longer and his legs got shorter. He fell to the ground on all fours. Sadie, horrified, watched Mark's face as the nose began to elongate, the chin to grow smaller. His eyes became more separate as his ears grew longer.
Finally, bursting out of his clothes, Mark turned his head up to the sky and howled.
A large wolf now stood before Sadie.
An urge to scream overpowered her as she stumbled back a bit before tripping on a root and falling to the ground.
The wolf watched her for a second, then turned to his other side, growling at something in the shadows.
(A/N) Oooooooo! Well, here's another chapter for all of you guys, just because I love ya. See? I told you there'd be some action soon, and there is a little here. Now you just have to wait for the future chapters for more. Wow, this story is really going crazy, it's like it's writing itself now.
Catty: Just shut up and write the disclaimer!
Me: I am totally getting annoyed at you. If you weren't my muse and inspiration and all that I'd kick you out of my room.
Catty: But you can't, because I'm just a figment of your imagination. Now write the stupid disclaimer!
