final grade.

(We cut back to Sherman's house. Camera pointed at bed, seeing Matt, Sophia and Sherman. Sophia's just woken up and is a little scared. Matt no longer looks like he's shit his pants. Sherman looks none too surprised by this, and heads out the door, intent on making a sandwich.)
"Where am I...? What happened...?" Her head felt as if someone put an eggbeater in her brain and twirled it around a few times, just to see what would happen. "Shhh...." Matt laid her back in bed. "It's okay, everything is going to be fine." Sophia searched her mind for answers. She remembered her date with Scott, them kissing. She then remembered Luke coming out of nowhere and hurling Scott across the street. The last thing she remembered was grabbing Luke's shirt. "Where's Scott?" "Scott?" Her father looked puzzled. "Remember dad, I was on a date with him. Where is he? Is he hurt?" Matt gets angry when he realizes someone was with Sophia, and probably left her when she was in enormous pain. "You mean he left you like this? Son of a bitch! I'll kill him!" (At this point Sherman returns from kitchen, ham sandwich in tow. "No dad, he didn't want to leave, it's just that after Luke threw him across the...." "So Luke's the one who left you there all alone?" No, after he threw him, I got mad... the last thing I remember is running into HQ...."
Sophia's head was spinning. "Dad what happened after that?" "I... I brought you here." "No dad, what happened to me?" Sherman stepped in. "Well my dear, you just like holding your feelings in don't you?" "What?" "Young lady, you almost flipped last night, and you would have a lot sooner if you haven't been holding your self back." Sophia looked shocked. "Now, what I want to know is what set you off, there had to be a big emotional reason for your 'inner self' to finally break free." Sophia forced herself to think. "Luke... I got mad at him for tossing Scott around." (Sophia has a quick flashback, seeing her grab Luke by the collar and hurl him on his car. Image is painfully sharp, like the picture of a headache.) "I was really mad at Luke, I mean first he wants nothing to do with me, and then he does, and then...." She stopped herself before she said anything about Presley. "I... I grabbed him. I picked him up and threw him." Sherman finally shows some emotion, as this shocks him and Matt. "He landed on his car. I watched him get over the initial pain, and then he looked right into my eyes and gave me one of his 'this-is-going-exactly-the-way-I-planned-it' smirks and that's when I felt it. Pain, starting in my abdomen, and spreading all over my body. I ran then." Sherman put his sandwich down. 'You mean to tell me that you, someone, no offense to you or Matt or your mother, without pure Skin Walker blood. You, who hasn't flipped yet, mean to tell me that you threw a male, full blooded, not to mention already flipped, Skin Walker, AND managed to dent a car? Well, either you REALLY didn't like the colour of Luke's car, and wanted to do something about it, or you're finally on your way to becoming who you really should be. Now Matt you take the things I talked about to your cruiser, they're on the table by the door. Sophia, I want to talk to you."
(Camera follows Sherman as he leads Sophia into his office. There are a lot of wolf knick-knacks all over the place. Wolf paintings, wolf poster, wolf paperweights. Any normal person would think that Sherman has a serious wolf complex. Running around every wall in the room are huge bookcases, with old looking books and papers literally bursting out of them. In the center of the rather large office, there is a big desk, with two giant light brown leather chairs in front of it, old-fashioned ones, with metal studs running down the seams. On the desk is a large book, looking kind of like a town ledger, where they would record the deaths, births, etc. before the 20th century. The only difference in this ledger is that on the top of the pages there is a heading in a runic language, the same one on the dressings in the church. Behind it is a very Shermanish swivel chair. You just know that he spins around in it like a little kid when no one is looking. Sophia sits in one of the leather chairs, and Sherman walks around the room, straightening things, leaning on the desk. He sits down later in the scene. Sophia is visibly nervous, and Sherman hovering over her isn't helping. Before Sherman begins talking, Sophia looks at the book on his desk, and sees what it is for. Below the runic heading, it says 'Born 1984.' There are two columns on the page. Several names are written down the first one. The Second last name is 'Sarah Porter,' and beside it is says: 'Close to Flipping,' which was crossed out and 'Flipped, some difficulty.' Ahh, this is a ledger recording the rate at which the teenagers in Wolf Lake flipped. She looked at the last name to discover it was her own. Beside it was written, 'Very close, this one is special.' Her eyes widen slightly as she reads this. Music: Unknown, by Life House)
"I bet you're wondering what your father and I discussed while you were unconscious," said Sherman as he turned an paper weight around, using it as a much needed bookend. Sophia nodded. "Well Soph, I needed to explain to him there you are going to Flip, and soon, and he needs to begin to accept that. And since he has been hiding you from your true nature, he's going to have to do some things for you." "Like what?" (At this point Sherman sits down.) "Firstly, I gave him some books that you have to read. They are about your history, about things that you need to know. Secondly, every Friday at five o'clock you will come here for a class of sorts, so I can explain things to you. And don't worry, I'm not one to give homework." Sherman and Sophia both chuckled at this, making Sophia loosen up. "And lastly, I gave Matt some creams, ointments, for the pain." Sophia looks alarmed. "What pain?" "Well since you've been holding back, forcing yourself to not Flip, you may have a seizure like that again. To be honest, I don't know exactly what you'll go through, but I gave him several "cure- alls.' Also, I'm going to inform Vivian that you might not Flip by your 17th birthday, so if not, you will flip after it." Sherman leaned forward. "And Sophia, this is the most important thing of all. You MUST let go. Holding back will only hurt you further, and I don't give a damn as to what your father wants, right now I'm worried your health, not his sanity, do you understand?" Sophia nodded. "And another thing, you're now going to be involved with Pack activities, since your father is now letting you be a Pack member, so going to have to attend Ruby's trial next week." Sophia gasped. "Ruby's going on trial?" "Vi is tired of her putting the Pack in danger, so she's putting her on [lupus corripiere]." "Putting her on what?" "Literally 'wolf trial.' You'll learn from this, this is the same thing that happened to your father when he wanted to marry Marie, although outcome probably won't be as good as his was." Sophia looked shocked by this. "Now as you can see, you fully clothed, so no problem there. Here are you glasses and your shoes and coat is by the front door. You're free to go." Sophia takes her glasses from Sherman and slowly got up and headed toward the door. "Sophia...." She turned back around. "The next time you decide to throw Luke against a car, take a picture, cause I would have killed to see that." Sophia laughed and shook her head as she walked out the door."

(Cut to Matt driving Sophia home in the cruiser. Sophia's looking absently out the window, while Matt seems really tense.)
"Sophia...." Sophia turned around. "Yeah, dad." "Look, I'm sorry. I didn't know that I would cause...." Sophia put a hand on his shoulder, cutting him off. "Dad, it's ok, I know your reasons for being so crazy. You wanted something better for me, and I can't hold that against you. But I do wish you would stop being protective. I know that you think you know exactly what Luke and all the other Hill kids are like, but you have to let me figure all this out by myself. Can you let me do that?" Matt cocked his head towards Sophia. "It's not going to be easy, but I'll try." Sophia smiled at this. "But you have to promise you won't anything stupid. I know Luke's told you a way to make the flip go easier, and seeing how much pain you were in, I can understand that you would want it to go faster, but, Sophia, I swear to God I'll find the most painful way to kill him and then commit the most heinous murder this town has ever seen." Sophia giggled. "Don't worry dad, I wouldn't give Luke the bragging rites." "That's my girl." Both of them had a good laugh. Sophia turned to Matt. "Dad, you do realize that now there's nothing to stop you from, well, going native again." Matt sighed. "Yeah.... Listen Sophia I make you a deal, I'll give you space, if you don't rush me." "Deal," said Sophia as she shook hands with her father. "And I Do know exactly what Luke is like." Dad...." "What? He's a little punk." "Dad...." "Come on, 'I' was a hill kid, I know what he's like." "Yeah dad, he's a mirror image of yourself." "Hey! I take offense to that!"
***
(Cut to Sophia walking into her room. The scheme of the room is purple and blue. A large four-poster bed, complete with curtains, which at the moment are drawn back, sits with the head of it against the far wall. Sophia has somehow managed to make two mahogany stained dressers, which would have otherwise would have clashed terribly, fit perfectly into her room by painting some very familiar lilies on the front of it. The other furniture consists of a white wicker chair with a purple and blue pattern cushion on it, a giant pale blue sitting chair, obviously her mothers, a desk with computer and swivel chair pushed up against a wall, and a window seat with stuffed animals on it. From this window seat she can look into Luke's bedroom in the house on the other side of the lake. Sophia's painting of a white wolf howling at the full moon sits in the middle of the room, still unfinished. At this time it's about 5 in the morning, so it's apparent Sophia's healing capabilities have finally started to kick in. Music: Perfect Night, Home Town Hero)
Sophia walked into her room and turned the light switch on. She sees the painting and decides to work on it. Just as she is about to dip her brush into a pot of white paint, she looks up at her window and sees that Luke's light is on. She stares at the lighted window for a moment, before seeing Luke step in front of it and looks down at he window, as if he has been looking at the house for a while and wanted to see why the light suddenly came on. His eyes widen as he sees Sophia look up at him. He quickly closes the blind on his balcony doors. "Well, the same to you too, pal," Sophia says as she tosses her hand for emphasis. By doing this she throws her brush, and it goes skittering under one of her dressers. She groans as she goes to retrieve it. Her hand hits a box and out of curiosity, she pulls it out. It's a old gift box decorated with pictures of teddy bears. She opens it, and pulls away the tissue paper to find dozens of pressed lilies. She smiles at them, remembering.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
(We cut to front porch of the Donner house. The sun is setting in the sky, So it's about 6 in the after noon. This is later in the day after Sophia runs home from school. 13-year-old Sophia sits crying there. We see her knee scraped from when Luke pushed her down. She continues to cry until she notices a box sitting at the end of the walk. She gets off the porch and walks to the end of the drive and picks up the box. She carries it back to the porch and opens it. Inside it are some brownies and another lily.)
"It must be from Sherman, he's the only one I told about the flower." She bit into one of the brownies. "Thanks, Sherman."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
She digs around in the box. She pulls out a package wrapped in tissue and opens it. Another lily and a note are inside it. This lily is different. The others have slightly yellowed, while this one is perfectly white, aside from a spot of mud in the corner. This is Luke's lily. This was the one thing that represented her separation from the pack. They said such mean things to her that day, Presley calling her mother a dirty whore. Sean said she was a bastard. Alex said her father was a traitor, and could protect her, just like he couldn't protect her mother. But the thing that hurt the most was Luke. He didn't join in. He never called her any of the horrible things that the others kids did. When she turned to him, her rock, her protection, and asked why, he pulled a out a piece of paper, wrote something on it and passed it to her. The note said: "You turned a blind eye to my pain, Zoo-bait, so I'm going to turn a blind eye to yours."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
(We first cut back to the kiss between Luke and Sophia. After it ends we cut back to see Sophia running home from school. We see her run five blocks at a break neck speed and burst through her front door. Matt is sitting in the kitchen reading the paper when Sophia comes hurdling at him, crying her eyes out.)
"Sophia, is something wrong, why are you at school?" Sophia just hugged her father and continued crying. After a while she pulled her head up. "Dad...." "Yeah hon?" "What's a Zoo-bait?" Matt's mouth dropped open. He hugged his daughter tighter. "Soph, I'm so sorry for letting this happen, you just forget about the kids from the Hill. If they're parents are going to teach them to be ignorant, then you don't need them." 'But what does it mean?" "It's a way of saying half breed. They are making fun of you because Mom wasn't a Skin Walker." "But why would Luke call me that?" "Well hon he's just Flipped." "What's 'Flipped?'" "He's now fully a Skin Walker." "You mean he can turn into a wolf?" "Yes hon, that's it." "Why can things just stay the same?" "I don't know Soph, I don't know."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
(Music: Our Lady Peace, Are You Sad? It's a great song to listen to when you're down) Sophia turned the flower around in her hand. Tears slipped down her face as she wrapped the flower back up, and put the box back. She walked into her bathroom and a few minutes later, she walked out in lounge pants and a small t-shirt. She turned out the light and got into bed, bad memories flooding over her. "Zoo-bait...."
