…

"Grandma what do you mean?"

"The vampires… they're after you!"

"Yeah, we know," Ethan said, a growl low in his throat. "They already attacked us."

"They did?! When? And where are you two?! Ethan's mom is frantic!"

"We're in Winsor. They chased us here."

"Who?"

"Sarah and Rory."

"Sarah and Rory?! They're the ones that came to tell me that you were in danger!" They heard angry yelling on the other end of the phone before Grandma came back. "Apparently they had no control…" By the tone of her voice, Grandma didn't believe that.

"So wait, what else is after us?"

"The Vampire Council. They're contacting all the neighboring councils. They want your heads."

"Why?"

"They feel threatened by you guys," Sarah's voice drifted towards them. "Our trances broke when you crossed the town line. Grandma is putting an anti-spell on us right now so we can't fall back into it when we see you."

"You boys should come home now. It's safer if we're all together. We can help." Benny looked at Ethan, who nodded.

"Okay, we'll head back now."

"Be careful!"

Exchanging a quick kiss, the two changed and began their run back home, letting out loud howls as they did.

They were so focused on getting home that they didn't notice the other howls that answered their own.

…

"Ethan, do you think we can stop them? They've been around a lot longer than us."

"I know B, but we gotta try. I'm not going to lose my mate because of some sadistic vampire. I'll die before I let that happen."

They were silent then, nothing but the sound of their paws hitting the ground to keep them going.

Soon enough, they were back on Whitechapel territory; their guard was raised, keeping their senses on alert for rogue vampires who wanted their hides.

Luckily for them, they didn't meet any and made it back to Ethan's house in one piece. As they walked back to their houses, now human once again, Ethan turned to Benny.

"You go tell Grandma we're here. I'm gonna go see my mom and let her know what's going on. We'll be over there soon." Benny nodded and let Ethan go, feeling odd without him near. He ignored it and headed to his own house, only to feel his feet knocked out from underneath him before something snapped down around his ankle.

"Say night-night boy." With a quick movement he couldn't see coming, Benny felt something very hard collide with his skull, knocking him out as a warm trickle of blood slid down his head and onto the ground.

…

Ethan, who had just entered his kitchen where his mom was, collapsed, a scream echoing from him as he grabbed his head.

"Ethan! What is it?"

"Benny…. Pain," he got out, gripping his head still, his eyes squeezed shut. His mom moved next to him, worry etched in her features. "We need to go to his house. Now. I'll explain there once I know he's safe." She helped him up and led him out of the house; he stopped walking halfway to Benny's house when he saw the smudge of blood on the ground. With an outraged cry, he pulled away from his mom and changed, collapsing on the ground as a wolf, loud howling sobs retching from his body until he blacked out from the pain.

…

Ethan woke up about an hour later to someone softly petting his fur; he was still a wolf, and he had a feeling he would be that way for a while now; he felt empty, alone, and afraid – for himself, for Benny, for their families.

"Ethan?" He opened his eyes and looked at his mom; his head lied in her lap, her fingers slowly trailing through his fur. "Can you change, let us know what happened? We want to help." He whined out, a slow sad sound before he shook slightly; he had tried to change, but to no luck. He shook his head and rolled off the couch; as he did this, he realized he was in the Weir house; he whined again and curled up in a ball, looking at Grandma.

"What happened to my grandson?"

"It smells like vampires," Sarah said as she, Rory, and Erica walked in. "We followed the scent towards the Vampire Council house, but it stopped there. They took Benny there we think."

Ethan jumped up then, letting out an angered howl, about to run for the door when he felt something pull him back; he found Grandma holding out her hand, a glow emitting from it. He growled at her, and she frowned.

"No Ethan. We need to talk this our first; I can do a translator spell so when you bark, we can understand you. Tell us what you know, and then we'll figure out where to go from there." Ethan growled again but sat, letting out a rapid series of barks for them.

"We got back….I told Benny to go see you…. And now he's gone….Stupid no good vampires….took my mate!"

He ended with a growl, making Grandma nod.

"Very well. We need supplies… anti vampire charms and all that good stuff. Only God knows what they have planned for Benny-" She stopped talking as Ethan let out another howl. "I know I know. Samantha, I want you to load up on some anti-things as well; Sarah and Rory are staying with you." Ethan growled at this while Sarah and Rory cried out.

"What?"

"Why?"

"It's safer – you two have already been under her control once in the last 24 hours. This is for the best. I can't have you two getting there and handing Ethan over to be killed because you're weakened. Please. Erica, will you come with us?"

"Ugh." Ethan growled and knocked her over, his teeth bared. She hissed at him but found that she couldn't get up. "Fine. I'll go." Ethan moved and sat there, waiting for them to get ready.

"Well then, let's gather supplies."

…

Benny laid there, eyes squinted as he looked around at his surroundings; the first thing he had tried to do when he woke up was to change, but found out he couldn't; he figured the thing around his ankle was doing that. His hands were also bound, so he couldn't get up and run away. He sat there, head hanging as he tried to think of how to get out of this.

"Well look who's awake." He looked up to see Anastasia smiling at him. He growled; it wasn't as intimidating as if was a wolf, but she still stepped back.

"What do you want with me?"

"Well," she said, stepping closer again. "We've been studying up on wolf-magic, and we learned something very interesting. One dose of venom, and you're wolf-ism is gone. You'll be one of us and no longer a problem. And as for your mate… the alpha of your pack… well, I'm sure you can guess what'll happen when his mate becomes an enemy."

Benny was silent, not taking the bait. She sighed and then smiled, leaning even closer.

"The minute our venom touches your veins…He'll die."

…

Told ya it would be a doozy.

Well, now we wait.

See ya'll next time.
