Summary: What if episode 9, "If These Wolves Could Talk," had ended differently, at least the part pertaining to Luke and Sophia. What if Scott hadn't tried to stop Luke, and he had succeeded in dragging Sophia into his car and driving off?
A/N: This is my first fanfiction ever posted (I've written others, but they were all to bad to post). Please review and let me know if you love it, like it, hate it, etc. If I don't get any reviews, or all bad ones, I won't update, so if you want me to continue, please review. Flames are excepted, as long as you're honest and they're constructive.
A/N 2: There is some mild swearing in this chapter, so be warned (it's not really that bad). I'm not positive I made myself clear about who Luke was talking to, so before you read it, I just want to clarify that he is talking to himself, but not out loud. You know that voice in your head?? That's who he's talking to.
Recognition: Thanks to all the people at http://www.soapsite.com/wolf/. Due to their wonderful summaries, I was able to make this story as accurate as possible. The site is also full of great pics and bios of the characters. I definitely recommend that you check it out! J Also thanx 2 my lil' sis, Amanda, for helping me out w/some wording for this chapter. I had some trouble with making the Sheriff and Vivian's conversation.

Let's pretend that after Luke dragged Sophia to his car, he drove off. All that happened to the Sheriff, John Kanin, the scientist, etc. happened.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Where we left off:
He sat in silence until he heard Sophia hang up the phone. "Sophia, I'm going back to work," he called up to her as he stood up and walked to the door.
"Bye dad," he heard her shout down to him.
"Bye sweetie," he called back.
'Good thing Molly was still at the station and was able to cover for me till I got back. That gives me time to make an extra stop on my way back to the station.'
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Luke drove wildly down random streets, not paying attention to where he was going. He was to busy thinking about what had happened earlier that night with Sophia to care about where he was going.
'How could she DO this?!?! How could she go out with HIM?!?! That….that….UNGULATE!!! And after I specifically told her I didn't want her to!! Who does she think she is??'
'Technically, she's not part of the pack yet, she doesn't have to listen to you,' a voice in his mind told him.
'Yeah, but still. I don't like him, he seems………….' he trailed off. 'He just rubs me the wrong way. Besides, she deserves better then him.'
'Who? You mean you?'
'What?!?! What are you talking about?!?!'
'Don't lie to me. I'm you, and you can't hide anything from me,' that annoying voice replied. 'Deep down, we both know what this is truly about. You're jealous.'
'Of who?!?! That weak, little ungulate??? That's ridiculous! Why would I be jealous of HIM?!?! What does he have that I don't???'
'Sophia,' the voice replied.
'What's that supposed to mean???'
'He took her out on an actual date; all you've ever done was flirt with her at the diner and go to raves. And even then, you ended up ditching her so you could go screw Presley. When she was with him, she had a good time. She was never that happy when you took her out, she always ended up leaving early. Plus, she kissed him. Willingly.'
Just thinking about that kiss made his blood boil.
The voice continued. 'We both know you were listening in on their conversation. After all, your windows were pretty conveniently open so you could just happen to overhear what they were saying. And you know that you heard him telling her that it wasn't a good idea to kiss someone new after eating a multi-ingredient pizza. But she was the one who reminded him that they both had the same pizza. Apparently, she wanted him to kiss her. Face it, you blew every chance she gave you.'
'What the hell are you talking about?? I don't like Sophia Donner! I mean, yeah, I wouldn't mind screwing her, but still, that doesn't mean I like her! I want to screw most of the girls that I meet.'
'Yes, but we both know that you're not interested in Sophia just because you want to sleep with her; you want to be the reason she flips. You want the satisfaction of knowing that you were the one that pushed her over the edge, you were the one that helped her along. You want your name to be the one that she screams, not Scott's. You want to be her first, her only. You want her for your mate.'
'WHAT?!?! That's CRAZY!!! I'm only seventeen!! I'm not worried about picking a mate!! I'm just trying to help her get used to the idea that she's gonna flip. She's been showing signs for a couple of weeks.'
'True, but if she was able to put off the change before, what makes you think that she can't put it off again? She is only half skin-walker, so the need to change might not be as strong. If she doesn't flip within the year, she never will.'
'You don't know what you're talking about. She will flip, she has to!!'
'Really? Why? Because you want her too?'
'What do you mean by that? She will; it's in her blood. Besides, I've been watching her, it shouldn't take her much longer. I'm just trying to help her get used to the idea that she will eventually have to marry one of us. Dating humans won't do her any good.'
'Hmmm? Okay then. We'll go with your theory for a moment. And that's all it is, a theory, your speculations. You have no concrete evidence, she's the first half-breed ever. You have no idea what will happen to her. Maybe this is just a phase she's going through due to her father's blood. Anyway, back to the point; say she does flip. Who says she'll end up marrying in the pack? Her father didn't. What if she follows his example and marries a human? Heck! Who's to say she'd get married at all!'
'SHUT UP!!!' That stupid voice was driving him nuts, he couldn't take it anymore. 'Just shut up! I don't know why I'm even talking to you. You're just a figment of my imagination.'
'Think what you want.'
'Fine! I will! From now on, I'm just going to ignore you and pretend this conversation never happened.'
'You can try, but we both know I brought up some pretty good points. And if I know you like I do, and I should, considering that we're the same person, you're going to mull this over and debate it to death. Actually, no, scratch that. You're going to think about this until you realize that your side is losing, and then you're just going to go out, get drunk, and screw some bimbo to help you forget. After that you'll just avoid the subject completely.'
Luke then realized that he was indeed heading out to the woods to see if there was a party, so he turned his car around. 'No, see, I'm going to go home and go to bed.'
'Yes, but you're only doing this because you want to prove me wrong.'
Luke growled and narrowed his eyes. 'I thought I was going to ignore you.'
'Me too.'
'Okay, fine, I'm going to ignore you. Starting right now.'
'Go right ahead.'
Damn that voice. He reached over and turned on the radio and tried to listen to the music so he wouldn't have to think about what that stupid voice had said. 'But what if it was right??? What if Sophia didn't flip?? No, that was crazy. She would flip. She had to flip. And later he would talk to her and convince her that she shouldn't go out with that guy, what's-his-name?? Scott. Oh yeah, Scott. Anyway, his name doesn't matter, he just wasn't right for her. Besides, who wants to go out with a kid named Scott?? What kinda name is that, anyway?? I mean, it's a stupid name.'
Luke continued the rest of the way to his house listening to music, and ignoring the voice.

Meanwhile, Sheriff Donner was also driving to the Cates house, but with totally different intentions.
He drove up the driveway, parked his car, walked up to the door, and knocked. He waited for a moment before someone answered.
When Vivian Cates opened the door, she was surprised to Matt standing on the other side of it. She smiled at him and said, "Hello Matt. Would you like to come in?"
"Yes, thank you." He walked in and followed her to her office. They both sat down and she stared at him expectantly.
He took a deep breath and began. "V, you and I have known each other a long time. You know that I have a great deal of respect for you, and I had a great deal of respect for Willard, but your son……." he trailed off. "Tonight Sophia went out on a date with Scott. I won't go into details, but they kissed. Apparently, Luke saw them, drove up in his car, grabbed Sophia, threw her in, and drove away. Needless to say, Scott was shocked. When he got home, he called me to tell me what happened. Luke dropped her off before I came here, so she's home now; and although she didn't go into detail about what happened, she seemed really mad. I'm assuming that Luke must have done something else to make her that mad."
"Matt, I'm so sorry. I don't know what could've gotten into him."
"He has no reason to keep interfering in my daughter's life."
"I know, Matt. And I promise I'll talk to him."
Matt sighed. "Thanks V, but if he continues to act like this, he won't only be hurting Sophia, but he could end up endangering the pack. I mean, what if Scott had tried to keep Luke from taking Sophia? Who's to say he wouldn't of done something stupid, like throw Scott across the street?" (A/N: *hehe* I couldn't help myself!! J) I think the fact that Luke is at least 10 times stronger then he looks would be a good reason to suspect something."
Vivian sighed and leaned back in her chair. "Don't worry Matt. I'll talk to him as soon as he gets home, and I promise to make sure he's kept under control. I have no idea why he acted like this."
"Thank you, Vivian. I hope you'll be able to sort all this out." He stood up and turned to walk out the door.
"Matt," she called, and he turned to look at her. "I really am sorry. I had no idea he would do something like this, and if I did, I would've stopped him."
"I know," he said simply. Then, he turned and walked out the door.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
As Luke pulled up into his driveway, he saw the sheriff's car. "Shit."

A/N: Hi again!! Sorry it's so late, but I really did have the first part done Thursday night, and I finished the second part on Sunday, but it was, like 1 am (k, so, technically that's Monday, but I'm feeling guilty, so just pretend with me) and I didn't have the A/N done. Please review and tell me what you think, especially if this chapter flows with the last one. You have no idea how much trouble I had writing the Matt and Vivian part. I just can't write them that well. I revised what I had, like, one million times, so I'd really appreciate constructive reviews. Also, please include the following:
1) If you think the story flows
2) What you want to happen
3) Any improvements you think I need
4) Your own personal opinion
A/N2: I think I might be getting writer's block, but I promise to try to update at least once a week. I'm just letting you know now so you can't blame me later for not updating. But don't worry, I promise to try!! K, I think that's it. At least I hope I didn't miss anything. Thanx for your review (in advance)!! J Bye!!!
