Merton walked over to Brins house wearing a long black trench coat that held hunting supplies. It held stakes for vampires, a camera for capturing ghosts on film, whatever he felt he need to keep himself and Brin safe. Under the coat he wore a black shirt with a skull on it, black pants, and boots. He walked up to Brins door, and stopped to notice a note. It read "Hey Merton, if its you, you know where to find me. " He thought for a moment, and then walked off to the forest. He wondered if she was in danger, so he quickened his pace. His thoughts fought over if she was in trouble, or if it was a date. "If she was in trouble, would she leave a note?" He said out loud to himself. He was just about where he thought Brin meant. He stopped by the stream, and looked around. From behind a tree, Brin stepped.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Sorry I had to make you come here..." Brin said softly, and walked over and stood infront of him, looking into his eyes.

"Its ok."

" Alright, well...there is something you must know."

" Oh, and there is something I have to tell you also....you can go first."

"I'd prefer if you did..."

"Ok, well....I may have made this obvious....but...I think that you are the most amazing girl I have met, and...well, I really like you..." He said nervously waited for her response.

"Thanks, and I feel the same way about you....Im sorry I have been such a bitch lately, but I have my reasons, well, what I came here to tell you is well....Im, not normal."

"Well, no one is."

"Yes, but...I...I am not always the same. I change...nightly."

"What?"

"Im...Im a were wolf. The one you saw on your lawn. The one here, in the woods....that was me." Brin said feeling relieved she did not have to lock that up within her anymore.

"Thats all?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, Tommy is a were wolf also..."

"Oh cool! Im not so alone anymore."

"Well, you have me. I can be here for you whenever." Merton said as he put his arm around her, and they walked deeper into the woods.

"Thanks. Really, thanks. I have been so, well, I dont even know how to put it, but I havent treated you the way you should have been treated..." Were the only words Brin could get out. The last sentence Merton had said had touched her heart, and left a mark there.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Merton and Brin walked over to the heart of the woods. Merton snapped a few pictures of the lake, and then sat down near it.

"So...." Merton said breaking the silence. "What is it like?"

"What is what like?"

"Ya know, being a were..."

"Oh, its cool I guess, but it can get in they way of things some time."

"Cool...I always wished I was something like that."

"I see. I can be a pain at times though. If you fall into it it is like having two lives, two yous."

Merton looked at his watch. "Its getting late." He said. "Do you want to come to my place?"

"I dont know. I mean, it would be cool, but well, it is a full moon tonight..."

"Its ok, I understand. C'mon, I'll bring you home."

Merton walked Brin to her house, but stopped as he neared the door. Brin did the same.

"Merton, thank you so much for understanding, and being such a loyal friend, when I wasnt..."

"Its ok Brin, I know, Its ok, dont worry." He said as he places his thumb on her lip. He replaced his thumb with his lips, and kissed her good night. He then pulled his lips from her.

"Good night." He said

"Night."

Brin walked into her house, and Merton left. She didnt want to leave him. The words he said to her stayed in her mind, as his taste lingered in her mouth.
