"A werewolf?! You have to be freaking kidding me, Collin." No. No way in hell was I turning into a werewolf. Where did he get that crap from anyways?
"It's not all that bad. I promise," Collin said, smoothing back my hair from my sweaty forehead.
"What? Are you a werewolf, too?" I questioned him, and he nodded, his eyes sad.
"Oh sweetheart," my mom muttered, clutching me to her. "You're just sick. You aren't a werewolf."
"Mom, be realistic here. You can feel how hot she is. It's like holding fire in your arms. And it explains her sudden growth spurt and crazy mood swings," Collin stared at my mom, who just kept shaking her head. "Mom, honestly. How many girls do you know that have gone from being 5 foot 2 to 5'9" in a matter of two weeks? None. We all thought it was odd, but didn't really consider this an option… But it looks like Catie is another shewolf."
My mind was racing with questions, a huge puddle of anxiety and confusion. But before I was able to voice these questions, I started to shake. At first, it was only slight tremors, barely making me move. But the tremors became worse and worse, my body shaking violently and uncontrollably.
"Mom, we have to get her out of her," Collin gasped, scooping me into his arms and bolting for the back door. Once outside, he put me carefully on the grass and turned away. The shakes become overwhelming, and I was scared for my life. It was strange too, because I felt like my body was expanding. My very cells felt like they were mutating, becoming something else entirely. I screamed out in pain, before completely morphing out of my real self and into the body of a beast.
My favorite outfit that I had been wearing ripped to shreds, my body became covered in shaggy white fur.
Voices sounded through my head- voices that didn't belong to me.
Collin, is Catie okay? One voiced asked.
Another- which sounded an awful lot like Brady- made a stupid wise crack I couldn't understand.
And then there were some voice that were laughing, some that were fighting.
Stop it!, I yelled in my mind, and it suddenly became quiet.
Catie…? The Brady voice spoke up first. You aren't… You're one of us?
I didn't say anything. I didn't know what to say. All I felt was immense confusion, and I just wanted to break down in tears.
My mother stood by our back door, tears glistening in her green eyes, her hand in front of her mouth. She just stared at me.
Collin turned his back to me and slowly began to undress. What was he doing?
And then, he began to shake too. Not nearly as bad as I had, but it was still noticeable. Fur erupted from his tan skin, and then he was a large brown wolf.
Catie, his voice whispered in my head. It's okay. It'll all be okay.
The first voice that I had heard was back. Collin, is Catie one of us? What's going on?
The wolf-Collin in front of me looked at me sadly. Yes, Sam. I'm afraid that Catie is another shewolf, just like Leah.
Author's note: Another chapter! Yippee! (It's short, I know. Sorry!) Thanks for all the reviews to the last chapter :) I have some ideas for this story, but none of them are really concrete. Also, if you have any ideas for what should happen or any specific requests, I'm open to any suggestions. Really. Review?
