"We can't take him to his house," Cassie said. "His parent's will go nuts!"

"Then what do we do?" Sam said frantically, looking at the pale Danny. Cassie thought quickly, knowing every minute counted.

"Can we take him to your house?" Cassie asked Sam.

"Yah, but what about his parents?" she asked.

"We'll say that we're getting together to study for a huge test."

"Good idea," Tucker said.

"First, we need to take him to your house," Cassie said. "He really needs to rest somewhere that he can heal...hopefully." She said the last word under her breath.

Tucker and Cassie carried Danny to Sam's house. Again, he was fairly light, so it wasn't too hard. When they got to Sam's room, they laid him on Sam's bed. Tucker and Sam turned to Cassie.

"So...there's nothing we can do?" Sam said.

"I'm afraid not," she replied helplessly. As she looked at Danny, whose chest barely moved, she kept getting flashbacks of her siblings and her two friends getting attacked by a pack of werewolves, and her trying to protect them. These were horrible memories, because she had failed in that task. She had never forgiven herself, thinking that she could have saved at least one of them.

Cassie called her parents. Cassie told them that she was sleeping over at her friend Samantha's house. Her parents, always thinking that she always told the truth, believed her. She then called Mr. and Mrs. Fenton, leaving a message to Jazz telling her that Danny was staying at Tucker's house for the night. Jazz, who was suspicious, asked why HE didn't call. Thinking quickly, she said that he was in the bathroom, and wanted to call by 10. Jazz believed her, and said that Danny should call when he wakes up the next morning.

As Cassie hung up, she couldn't help but think... 'IF he wakes up in the morning.'

Luckily, Tuckers parents were out of town, so he didn't worry about them calling during the night. He just had to be home by 8 o' clock.

As the night dragged on, Sam and Tucker finally fell asleep. But Cassie was ever watchful of Danny, making sure he didn't stop breathing. She turned into her wolf form so that she could be even more alert to Danny's condition. Every once in a while, she would go up to him and nudge her nose against his hand.

'Hold on Danny,' she thought. 'I'm watching over you.'

(((((((-)))))))

Danny's hand brushed something furry as he woke. Danny slowly opened his eyes. A black dog...er, wolf, was lying curled up beside him, sleeping. He at once realized that it was Cassie. He looked around.

He was in Sam's room, in Sam's bed. Tucker was asleep in an armchair, and so was Sam. The clock on Sam's bedside table said 5:00 AM, so he quietly got up, trying not to wake Cassie. But, even as he did, Cassie's yellow eyes flickered open. She saw that Danny was awake, and yipped happily. Tucker and Sam, startled awake by her, also saw Danny. They ran across the room to him. As they did, Cassie transformed into a human again.

"You're alive!" Sam exclaimed, hugging him.

"Ow!" he exclaimed, flinching in pain. Sam quickly let go.

"Sorry," she said sheepishly.

"Are you feeling ok?" Tucker asked.

"Well, not really," Danny admitted. "I feel like I just recovered from a deadly disease or something."

"You're half right," Cassie said. "You still have werewolf blood, but you're a lot more stable then you were last night." Danny was silent for a while.

"But...didn't your mom say that I would die by my first transformation?"

"Yes. But, thank the Lord...she was wrong somehow. I'm not sure what, but something kept you from dying last night," she said, smiling a little.

"So, what are we going to do?" Sam asked. "Danny is in no shape to go anywhere, and his parents will get worried if his doesn't come back home."

"Wait a minute," Danny said. "Why don't I just tell them that you invited me to watch a movie with you guys? It IS Saturday, after all."

"That's a good idea," Cassie said thoughtfully. "That way, you'll have enough time to rest and regain your strength."

(((((((-)))))))

That afternoon, after Danny was dropped off at his house, though still a little weak, Cassie went to her house, tired, but feeling a little light- hearted, relived that Danny survived the night.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Yes, it was short, and not that exciting, but that means I can make better, more exciting chapters. YAY!
