"Ughh. I'm so stupid! STUPID! STUPID! STUPID!" Sam groaned, banging her head on the steering wheel in self pity.

"Ooh, calm down, chica." Paulina said. "He was a moron. All men are morons. Now calm yourself down and have something to eat."

Sam glowered at her friend and stubbornly replied, "I don't WANT to eat..."

"Whatever. More for me." Paulina shrugged. "How are you feeling anyway?"

Sam groaned again and said, "I don't know!"

Paulina gave her friend a sad smile. "It's okay honey." Paulina sighed. "Well, why don't you go-" Paulina stopped when she heard Sam's phone ring. "I thought you turned this off. Who is this?"

Paulina flipped open the phone and saw Alex's name. She picked it up and screamed, "YOU! Usted idiota estúpido. No usted charla del ATREVIMIENTO a ella. Le mataré. Mataré le y a su mujer. Apenas usted espera. ¡ADIÓS! (1)" And hung up the phone in fury. "Ooh. What NERVE! Anyway, where are you going now?"

"Back to work." Sam answered, her full attention back on the road.

" You're doing it again." Paulina replied, her lips pursed in annoyance.

"Doing what, exactly?" Sam asked.

"Shielding yourself with your work. You're hiding behind your beautiful little office until the pain numbs away, then you shall continue in 'work-a-holic' mode until you get through it completely." Paulina answered.

"Oh, whatever..." Sam replied, rolling her eyes.

"Then you deny it. Pathetic. That's what you are. You know it gets a bit old. Then you talk about me..." Paulina scoffed.

Sam rolled her eyes once more with a sigh. She fixed her rear view mirror, and drove a few more blocks until she was at her house. "Aghh. You happy?" she asked, getting out of the car.

"Very, thanks." Paulina smirked.

The two women got out of the car, and were greeted with loud rock music.

"Gah...ELLIE!" Sam shouted, storming up the path way and into the front door.

"I WANNA BE YOUR ROCK AND ROLL KITTEN! I WANNA BE YOUR LEOPRESS OF LOVE! OOH,YEAH, BABY!WE CAN SHARE A LITT'A BOX, WE CAN USE THE SCRATCH'N POST DAY AND NIGHT, OOH!" a raven haired girl with amethyst eyes just like Sam's sang at the top of her lungs. She was in an old punk hoodie with tennis shorts and thick gray socks on, as with eyes closed she rocked out to the music.

"ELIZABETH MADELINE-NICOLE MANSON! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Sam shouted, pushing the button for the music off.

Ellie's eyes widened. "Erm...hey, Mom. Home...early. Very early in fact. In fact, so early...that I'm still asleep. I was...erm, listening to my Kitten Luv CD...So...erm...if you need me, I'll be...ummm...sleeping, yeah." Ellie murmured, jetting up the staircase.

Paulina snorted. "Your kid never ceases to amaze me."

Sam sighed. "You too, huh?"

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Sam sat in the den with her head buried in between her hands which lay in her lap. "Oh, I'm so stupid..." she sighed.

"Mommy...really...it's not that bad, you know." Ellie said from the doorway.

Sam looked up at her daughter. "Oh really?"

"Yeah. I mean, it could be waaaaaaaaaaay worse. Like...erm...hmm...let's see. Ooh! I could like TOTALLY be a prostitute...but I'm not. Mm-mm. Noooooo..." Ellie said, shaking her head.

"Great. I feel so much better. My ex-fiance is dating a schoolgirl barbie, and my daughter's a hooker. Fantastic." Sam said, her voice deadpan.

"Actually, I think they prefer to be called 'artists'." Ellie shrugged.

"I don't need this. Out." Sam said, pointing towards the door.

"Was never here." Ellie said quickly, and hurriedly left the room.

"Oy..." Sam sighed once more.

"Oh, and Mom, tell Aunt Paulina that it's illegal to kill people anywhere." Ellie replied, peeking her head into the doorway. "Even in India." she whispered.

"Goodbye..." Sam said, trying to ignore the girl.

"Going, going gone!" Ellie called over her shoulder as she left for the last time.

"Oh...geez, I need some caffeine. Where's my coffee?" Sam muttered to herself.

Sam ignored her and headed towards the kitchen. She grabbed a mug and turned on the coffee maker. As she leaned against the kitchen counter, she noticed that there was a message on her machine. She pressed the button and listened to the beep.

"Hey, Sam. I doubt you even know who this is..."

...That voice was so familiar yet….But who was it?

"Of course, I can't blame you since I haven't exactly been around for awhile."

As if that helped. But that made her realize it had to be someone from Casper High. As the voice talked on, and laughed a few times, something clicked. It was...omigosh…it was…

"By the way, if you haven't figured it out by now, I'll be really hurt about it later, heh. Just kidding. It's Danny. You can call me on my cell phone anytime at 851-6834. See ya, Sam."

And suddenly her world came crashing down to the floor. Just like her coffee mug.

1: What Paulina said: (You stupid idiot. Don't you DARE talk to her. I'll kill you. I'll kill you and your woman. Just you wait. GOODBYE!)

-- So yeah this is Lady Wolf Eyes. Again as you have probably noticed these first two chapters are very much the same as the original. And I plan to stay as close to the original story as seen fit. However in the following chapters some of the action may be slowing down. DivaGurl277 said the plot felt rushed in the original so the plan is to slow it down. This was one of my favorite DP Fics so I'm a fan just like the rest of you and can't wait for the story to continue. (Although school may force me to once it starts…--) So that's it for now.
