A/N: It's short but all I could come up with. Hope you enjoy it! Review please, they make me happy!

He waited until Jeremy and Alice were out of sight before he started in on me.

"What did you tell him?" Adrian asked his voice hard with anger.

"I didn't tell him anything."

"Then how did he know about ghost?!"

"I don't know! I'm not him!" I raised my voice to the same level his was on.

"He knew because I told him." Karen spoke up from the back seat.

Karen! Shut up!

I told her not wanting Adrian to get mad at her.

I saw Adrian's hands get tight on the wheel. He held the wheel so tight his knuckles were turning white.

"You little bitc--!"

"Don't you dare call my daughter that!" I interrupted him.

Adrian grined his teeth together. "Shut your mouth, Melissa. I will call her what I please."

"The heck you will!"

"Shut up."

"Why Adrian? What are you going to do if I don't?!"

Suddenly Adrian slammed on brakes throwing us all forward. Adrian sat there a moment then got out of the car. Karen quickly locked her door. I turned in my seat to see Karen sticking her tongue out at Adrian. She might have the mind of an adult but she sure didn't use!

"Karen stop that! Your just getting him more upset!" I scolded her.

She did as I said. Adrian jerked on the door so hard it broke the lock. I thought he was going to pull the door off my car! He reached in and pulled Karen out of the car by her hair.

"Ouch! Let go!" Karen yelled.

I jumped out of the car as he throw Karen against the car.

"Adrian stop!" I shouted running over to him.

"She's been nothing but a pain since she was born! I'm going to teach her to have respect for her father!" Adrian yelled his hand tight around my daughters neck.

"Your not my father!" Karen screamed kicking Adrian in the mouth.

This caught him off guard. He stumbled back some and released her neck. I believe Adrian's whole face turned red with anger. He lunged at Karen but she moved out of the way in time sending Adrian against the back of the car. Adrian went for her again but I stepped in the way. Adrian muttered some words I don't say. He glared at me.

"I'm not moving."

I was the only thing stopping him from getting to Karen.

"Melissa if you vaule your life then you'll move."

"No."

"You wouldn't dare!" Karen hissed reading his mind more then likely.

Is it that bad?

I asked her mentally. After a moment of silence Adrian let out a frustrated growl. Uh-Oh. He growled. Here comes wolf guy. I watched as Adrian's body shifted from tan, and strong to a bear-large dark black wolf. He went from being on two feet to being on all fours.

Karen get in the car!

I ordered not wanting her to get hurt again. The last time Adrian went all wolf man on us Karen got a good many claw marks. Luckily they could be covered up by clothing. It was always Karen he went after. Never David or Jillian.

"No way! What if he hurts you?" Karen said stepping next to me.

"Karen. Get. In. The. Car." I said each word slow and firm.

Adrian was coming slowly. He always likes to make surprise attacks. Easier to catch us off guard so we couldn't fight back.

Karen gasped.

I made the mistake of taking my eyes from Adrian and looking down at her. Adrian jumped at me. I screamed as he lands on top of me.

"Mom!" David and Karen yell in union.

That's the last thing I heard before everything turned black.

"This is all my fault!" I heard Karen cry as strong cold arms picked me up.

Who was she talking to? Who's holding me?

I tried to stay wake long enough to hear more but was just to tired.

I woke up to sobbing. My eyes were heavy and sleep was calling but I wanted to know who was crying. I opened my eyes just a little. Karen was standing at the end of the bed I laid in. When she looked up and saw my eyes open she just started crying harder.

"What's...wr--wrong?" I asked my voice barely hearable.

"Mel?" I heard someone say.

I started to answer the person but was to tired. I found myself giving in to sleep.
