Nessie's POV

Nessie's POV

"Nessie. Wake up. It's time." Moon said in a sarcastic tone.

"Huh? Time? Time for what?" I said groggily. I sat up to look at her.

"Time for my dinner. And you're the main course!"

I screamed.

I heard another voice. A lovely, frantic voice. "Nessie! Nessie, wake up!"

I jumped. "Sam?"

"Shhh. It's alright. It's okay."

"Oh, Sam."

"Oh, good." Moon said as we got downstairs. "You're just in time for dinner." She smiled. "You look tasty today, Nessie." The she and Sam laughed. Was this some kind of sick joke or something? Because it wasn't funny.

"I'm … not … hungry." I said, and ran back to bed.

"What I say?" Moon whispered to Sam. I shut the door, and dialed a number. Jakie's.

"Hello?" a low husky voice answered.

I froze. "Who is this?"

"None of your business. Who a─"

I cut him off. "Where's … Jacob?" I asked. The dude just laughed and hung up. Oh, no. I pressed END, and dialed another number, one I hoped I wouldn't need to use, and pressed TALK.

"Hello?"

"Dad? I need help."

Moon's POV

Sam glared at me, "What?" I hissed angrily.

"You are so…you're such a…GAHH!" He shook his head and walked away.

"I'm not a gahh! And can you get some c-"

"Get it yourself." Sam growled.

"Well then." I stared in shock. Sam always got me my cheese curls. I never got my own cheese curls. "Hey, Nessie! You wanna g─"

"SHUT UP!!" Sam yelled, and walked away.

"What did I ever do to you?" I called after him.

"Everything!" he yelled back.

"Whatev. Wait. Does this mean I gotta get the cheese curls myself?! Man! C'mon! Ugh! God, you people are so annoying!" and I left (for the first time) to get my own cheese curls. I sighed. What I won't do for food.

I paid for my cheese curls (boy, this store was big. It took me 15 minutes just to get my cheese curls. Not that cheese curls aren't important. Because they so are.) … and pickles … and soda … and potato chips … and … other stuff. I turned to leave and bumped into someone.

"Hello." A familiar voice said. I looked up at a tall guy. Well, tall to me , anyways. I couldn't be sure if he was tall or not, my measurements are pretty off.

"Th-th-thorn?" What was Thorn doing here? "What are you doing here?"

"Well, I was in town and─"

"Don't give me that crap." I said. "Tell me the truth."

He hesitated, then sighed. "Alright. I, uh … well … I … missed you and …"

"You came to visit me?" I beamed.

"Um … yeah … sure … why not?"

I beamed. "Wanna come back to my house?" I asked slowly.

"Um … o-o-okay."

"Yay!" stop being so darn happy you freak. I mean, the guy hurt you for goodness sake!

"Lead the way." He said, and we started walking.

Sam's POV

So, things were going great. Nessie was finally calm. Lucky for me, her … "Jakie" … was still in trouble. So she needed someone to hold onto. And guess who she chose. That's right! Me! I felt like the happiest man on earth. Then Moon just had to come in. In who's arms, you ask? Why, Thorn's, of course.

"What is he doing here?" I growled.

"Who's he?" Nessie asked, looking at the world only blond werewolf.

"Thorn." I spat. I still hate him. Moon might be annoying, but she was still under my care. And he hurt her. I would've killed him by now if Moon hadn't kept blocking him, stupid girl. That's when I noticed something. He was staring at her. And I don't mean Moon. I growled. Then Moon noticed.

"Stop it." She whispered to him. He didn't stop looking, he just smiled. Nessie looked away, seeming embarrassed.

"I have to call someone." She said slowly, and went upstairs.

"She sure uses her phone a lot." Moon said, spacey.

"Shut up." I said. She is so oblivious sometimes.

"Uh, where's the bathroom?" the crazy, hateful, horrible, freak─ namely, Thorn─ asked.

"Upstairs and to the left." Moon answered.

"Thanks." He said, and went upstairs. I had a bad feeling about this. The feeling that … that Nessie was in trouble. And she didn't have a clue.
