Second attempt @ Wolf Lake Chapter….. HERE I COME! Lol.

One Week Later…..

            "Dad, help me" Sophia Donner yelped as she fell into the police station. The Change had begun, and she was powerless to stop it. Sophia's body was being ripped apart from the inside out, a slow burning fire which would never cease until it had either consumed her whole body or killed her in the process. She could not be sure if she had actually called out for her father's help, nor if her scant escape from Luke and her would-be date actually had brought her to the station. All that her heightened wolven senses could perceive has the insurmountable pain.

            Though Matt Donner had been in the back of the inventory room searching for paper to finish his report of the crazed Werewolf hunter when his daughter's almost inaudible cry for help, came howling to his ears. Any rational thoughts fled from the sheriff's mind as he realized his only daughter was beginning to Change. All he knew was that he had to keep Sophia as far away from Vivian Cates as possible. 'I'd die before I'd let her near Sophia' he thought desperately as he reached the cowering figure of his daughter. Careful to not put her in any more pain than was necessary, Matt pick her up and walked resolutely out the front door of the station only to be confronted with the sight of a gray wolf.

'I want to help' came the thoughts of Luke as he sat in front of the Donner's truck.  The Sheriff's eyes flickered and angry yellow before motioning for the wolf to jump in the back of the truck's bed. 'I'll be damned if I let any aggression I have against this pup cause Sophia to need the Last Rites.' Matthew Donner thought grimly.  As soon as the Changing teenager was as secure as she could be in the truck's front seat, Matt floored it, his destination as clear as the silver moon glowing in the sky: Sherman's.

Shana McSedia had arrived in Wolf Lake early that morning and was immediately confronted by a strange man who had insisted that since she had no where to sleep, and given the fact that the local hotel was no the least hospitable to strangers, that she should take residence at his cabin. Normally Shana would have both rejected the offer and replied with some snide remark, but she hadn't and simply trusted the man as he gave her directions and a key.

"So here I am." Shana spoke aloud to no one in particular. Sherman, as she had found his name to be, was in town tending to some "Council business", whatever that meant, and he had told her that he would return as soon as he had finished talking to her about why she had travel to Wolf Lake. So there she sat, for the past half hour, idly sipping her now cold tea and pondering how she was to find her brother. All she knew was his name, and one would think that this in itself could be enough to find him in such a small town. But it seemed that the locals were not as willing as she would have hoped in giving out information about one of the residents of this peculiar town. After asking over a dozen residents and being lead around in circles, Shana was beginning to believe that either there was no Tyler Creed or that the towns people simply didn't want her to find him. As she refused to even think that she had no brother after 18 years of waiting, she simply had to go with the idea that, for some unknown reason, she was being kept from her own blood.

She sighed as another sip of cold tea slipped down her throat.  And was about to go make another hot cup of the normally delicious stuff, when she heard the sound of peeling tires somewhere down the road. Though this sound wasn't on average reason enough to give her pause; the fact that the sound of tires was getting increasingly louder gave her heartbeat a reason to speed up.  Walking quickly to the door of the cabin she opened it up just in time to see the Sheriff's truck skid dangerously close to the cabin and a gray wolf hop from the trucks bed and make a B-line for Shana. That was all she saw, for she slammed the door with as much force as she could surmount upon the wolf's nose.

The howl of pain from the other side of the door barely had time to register in Shana's mind before the door was kicked in with such force and aggression that it flew over the stunned girl's head and slammed into the wall behind her, leaving a large indention as it fell to the floor. The grey wolf bounded through the doorway, giving Shana barely enough time to scream before it landed on her, pinning her shoulders down with its front paws while it snarled over her. Behind the wolf a man, who in her panicked mind she couldn't realize was the sheriff, walked in carrying a struggling girl in his arms.   He seemed to sniff the air once, before finally noticing Shana's predicament.

'Luke, get off her.' The thoughts rang in her head as clearly as if the man standing before her has said them himself. Slowly, yet surely, the grey wolf removed its weight from her shoulders allowing her to sit up, yet it's eyes never left her as she looked up to the desperate looking man. "Where is Sherman?" was all he said before the devil himself walked up behind the sheriff, looking most amused.

"Well, Shana Creed, welcome home."

Well!?!?! What'd you think of the second chapter!!! ^_^ Don't be too hard on me.
