Episode 10: I'm Not Like You Part 1
She ran until her legs cramped, breathing in the air, the freedom that surrounded her. Knowing all too well this would never, could never last, they would indeed find her. They had stated time and time again how "special" and how "important" she was to the pack, unfortunately she felt neither of those things with him. She could sense what no other could sense maybe it was her "special-ness" she laughed bitterly to herself. Maybe it was the fact that she was a white wolf that told her this even before the scent hit the air. There was a change coming, a big change, one that would change the pack forever. She raised her head to the beautiful moon and sang her beautiful cry, hoping beyond all hope that all would be well. She sensed the flip coming. She could only hope they would survive unlike her sweet twin sister, her precious Amanda. She could smell some of the younger pack members reaching their climax when she heard the crash. She etched out of the woods only to find her little brother Luke sitting on the hood of his car, no she corrected herself; he was lying on top of his windshield. She laughed to herself because she was positive he had deserved it and poor little Sophia was the culprit. She was running now, running away from Luke. She found herself praying for Sophia.
As she turned away, she saw the flicker in Luke's eyes, the glow of his wolf on the surface & the smile tracing his lips. She knew he would get what he wanted and so she prayed for Sophia some more but somehow Ruby knew that Lucas Cates didn't stand a chance this time. This girl was different, she was strong.

Luke knew he couldn't catch her, and secretly hoped he was right. He feared what would happen if he did, the images of Sophia still fresh in his mind as he shed his wolf pelt and stood there taking in the small traces of her sent. He could sense her and her pain but knew she was with her father Mathew Donner, the Sheriff, the one man who hated him completely and whole heartedly. He couldn't blame him, he almost lost him his daughter once before. He could hear her pleading for him to make it stop to help her. Once again she'd chosen someone other than himself, this time she'd chosen her father over him.
Angry that he hadn't physically brought on the change as he should have weeks ago, he stormed off needing the companionship. He told himself he didn't care about her as he went in search of Presley, Brianna or any other willing candidate. He forced himself to believe he hadn't been the least bit jealous but simply angry that she had disobeyed him, and that she had chosen Scott, that pathetic ungulate over himself, and then her father. Her loss he thought as his wolf cried to the moon feeling the pain of the rejection, even if the human in him didn't. He continued to repeat to himself that it was her loss not his.

Sophia cried, she was worried, not even sure what was happening. Matt knew she wouldn't be able to leash the wolf anymore. He was so scared he would lose his daughter; he called Sherman and refused Vivian's help.
She was changing fast whether or not she was ready. She could hear everything around her, but Luke's words echoed in her head the loudest. The day he'd shown her his flip he sat next to her, telling her she would change whether she wanted to or not, and he could see it. She was too terrified to admit that he was right, that the change had truly been the reason for her refusing to go to Italy. And at the moment, she still wasn't ready to flip, she was still scared and worried that her father would hate her or be disappointed if she survived and heartbroken if she didn't. Either way she would cause her father pain that she hoped she could avoid.

Vivian could smell it. She'd been driving to Blackstone's cottage when it hit her, it was strong. She heard the scream followed by another and then another. She was debating who to see fist and had decided on Sophia mainly for Matt and partly for Luke's sake when she received a call from a frantic mother screaming that her baby was stuck. And with that Vivian drove toward the house begging that both would survive this change. She could only pray that Matt's DNA would overpower Marie's human blood. But all the hopes in the world couldn't make that happen and only time could answer that question.

Matt could sense her holding back. He could smell her fear and that Cates boy all over her, but he knew this wasn't the time to discuss that particular subject with her. He also knew why she continued to hold back. He felt the shame hitting him like an avalanche all at one, it was his fault and all he could do was hold her and apologize. "I'm sorry, so sorry Sophie. Honey you have to hold on. You're all I have left. Sherman will be here soon, don't fight it. Don't die, don't die" he sobbed into her hair. She just kept pleading for him to make it stop, her screams ringing in the air. Those who hadn't been aware of the flip would know now, he could hear her screams echo in his mind as well.

He was running now, trying to figure out what had happened. All the others listened to him, but she was different, she never listened. It kept nagging at him, he knew he wanted her, but he wasn't sure how much. One thing he was sure of, she was different and probably the only one person he could trust. He had to shake the anger of her blatant rejection of him. So he ran to another not caring if it hurt Sophia not caring that this is why she had rejected him in the first place, he needed the connection and he knew she was always willing. And with that he ran off towards the lake in search a willing companion

Vivian had been anxious and ordered the other girl Lacey to the hospital basement. There was nothing more she could do for her at the moment. Only time would tell if this poor girl would survive her first flip. She knew Matt needed her strength now whether he would ask for it or not.

And just as horribly and fast as it had happened, it stopped. Her screams still echoing in the night. Matt & Sherman stared at each other in disbelief. She had managed to cage the wolf within her once again. But for how long, they wondered. The only difference where her eyes, no longer brown, but an eerie gold, that shut as she fell asleep just as V walked in.

In the midst of his lust filled climax something called to him a low whisper calling his name, "Luke". He glanced at his current fuck, no it wasn't her, stopping he pulled away unsure as her eyes flickered back to their normal shade and then flashed again full of anger that he had stopped without fulfilling her.
"Luke" she hissed. That was all the conformation he needed, it hadn't been her who called his name so seductively, it hadn't been her who is wolf yearned for. So he turned away and ran. The scent in the air had changed leaving him confused and angry. He howled at the moon as she ran to his side, rubbing along his torso, and purring at him seductively. He felt himself stiffen and growl a warning before he took off, letting the change take over him.

"Matt" she waited for his response.
After a few moments of silence she continued "Is she ok?" An angry growl escaped his throat as he shook his head and stared at Vivian Cates pack Alpha. "V, it just stopped half way. She was changing and then it stopped, it just stopped" he whimpered.
"She's stuck?" she began to ask, not able to hide her fear as Matt interrupted her. "No, she just stopped it; she's ok but look at her eyes. What's going on Sherman, why did it stop?" He was frustrated and worried. V walked over to Sophia's side and gently shook Sophia awake.
Sophia's eyes fluttered open slightly, then closed again as she drifted back into a light sleep. It had happened very quickly, but V had gotten a good enough look. Sophia's eyes where no longer their dark chocolate brown. In the brief moment Sophia had opened her eyes, Vivian had noticed how light her eyes now where, the brown tinged with the eerie gold that was similar to that of their kind.
"Sherman what does this mean?" she asked and waited for the Keeper to respond.
He just shook his head and sat down on Matt's desk "I don't know V, I just don't know."
Sophia could hear what was going on but she's been so tired, she forced herself to ask the question she feared most "Daddy, what is it" his answer brought no her reassurance.
"Nothing honey, just get some rest. You had a big night, we'll talk in the morning" she tried to sleep, but she could hear the faint whispers of the adults and their thoughts on the public pack link.
