BPOV

I heard Jessie call for Brent and I calm down a little. Having Brent out here would either be a huge advantage or make things worse. Either way, it was better than what was happening now.

"What is it?" I glanced at Skylar. She still looked scared, but now she was curious. Wow, she got distracted easily.

"Your brother and Jessie are home." She winced.

"Yay..." She glanced at the house then back at me. "And that's a good thing because?" I looked around, slowly backing towards the house.

"Well, now there's someone to watch you and your mom while I..." My voice trailed off and Skylar winced, not answering.

"You can't, you can't hurt him." I stopped staring at Mrs. B.

"Him?" She nodded, but didn't say anything else.

"I'll take her inside..." Skylar and her mom went inside and I turned to face the yard. I grinned in anticipation as whatever was out there came closer.

My eyes narrowed into the trees.

You have got to be kidding me.

How old did wolves get?

SPOV

Mum was being completely uncooperative when I tried to get her inside. She literally hung on to the door frame. I had to peel her fingers away from the wood. It was ridiculous.

"Mom?" Brent looked as if he had seen a ghost.

"Yes, now please hold on to her before she tries to make a break for it." Brent still looked a bit dazed, but he took mum from me.

"Oh my gosh, Skylar, are you okay?" I nodded at Jessie absently.

What was going on outside? Would Brady be okay?

I couldn't help but out the window in search of him. He was just standing there. He wasn't even shaking anymore.

I frowned as he stepped forward slowly, his hands held up, sign of peace...

Was he crazy?

"What's happening? Is he hurting him?" I glanced back fleetingly at mum. I shook my head.

"Who's he?" Brent asked behind me.

"Your father." The kitchen submerges into silence. She was joking. She was delirious from her flu and was saying things. We had just left my father at Sam's.

There was no way he could have gotten into our yard so quickly.

And along with the sheer impossibility of it, why was he here?

And even more importantly, how did mum know he was here?

"How would you know?" Jessie voiced my thoughts. Some part of me said I should be upset that Jessie was speaking to my mother like that, but my curiosity out did the little voice.

"I can feel it." Mum was beginning to sound like those creepy children in those horror films.

"The imprint." Brent whispered. I glanced at him. What did imprinting have to do with anything?

"What?"

"The imprint!" He exclaimed, pacing around the kitchen. "It's piecing itself back together." Jessie and I stared at mum. She looked like she was in a different universe. Her fingers tapped on the table restlessly, her eyes glued to the back door.

"But he can't..." I glanced out the window again and almost screamed. I covered my mouth with both my hands.

Jessie came up behind me, pushing me out of the way.

"Oh my God. Is that a werewolf?"

BPOV

This was stupid, why was I trying to negotiate with an old, grumpy wolf who obviously didn't like me?

I stopped walking towards him, it wasn't like eh was reacting to me coming any closer to him anyway.

I was about to phase, when the wind suddenly changed direction. It was suddenly blowing in air from the east towards me.

I stiffened. The wolf in front of me only twitched in response to the new scent.

I growled, backing up as the smell grew stronger.

Whoever was on patrol today was going to be in a lot of trouble when Sam found out about this.

"Aw, don't run away. We just want to play." A girl that looked about thirteen came running from behind the wolf. She stopped beside it, wrapping her tiny arms around his leg.

I winced as one of his bones cracked.

This was getting really weird.

"What?" She looked up at me with big, red eyes.

"We want to play with you. Mr. Bronson really missed Skylar. I missed her too." I froze. That was Mr. Bronson? But why would he be... "playing" with a teenage vampire?

"How do you know Skylar?" She grinned, stepping forward.

"Don't tell Mr. Bronson, but I've been controlling him since the fifth grade!" She giggled like she had just told me a huge secret.

"Skylar never played with me. She said I was a freak because she listened to all those rumours about me. So what if I never ate or lived in a actual house." Her eyes darkened and her smile disappeared. "I don't like bullies." I swallowed, taking a step back. Controlling him? Great, not only was she a freak, but she had freaky vampire powers too.

"One day, I found out everyone else was growing, and I wasn't. They made fun of me for it." She paused glancing at her nails absently. "They won't be making of anyone anytime soon. I made sure." I took a few more steps back. What kind of freaky, vampire child was this?

"Revenge was fun. So I got revenge on anyone who had ever made me sad before. Skylar was just so hard to get to. I liked her enough to not want to kill her. But not enough to not cause her pain. So I had to ask for help." She skipped back to Mr. B. "He helped me. I told him to hurt Skylar, and he did. At first he didn't want to do it, something about an imprint. But I'm a very persuasive person." The girl looked at me again. "But then, Skylar ran away. I was really upset. She was avoiding me again! But I found her." The wolf growled and the blood sucker giggled. "I mean we found her. So Brady, right? Can we take her home now?" I shook me head, my whole body trembling in anticipation.

"Now Brady, we can do this the easy way." She took another step towards me, the wolf behind her mimicking her every move.

"Or we can do this my way."

Sorry about the shortness, but it's been about two weeks since I updated and I had to put something up... Sorry ? It's just that volleyball season started way earlier than I was anticipating. I mean, do try-outs usually start on the second day of school ?

Anyway, hope you guys like the chapter. I know I said we'd get to hear from Mr. Bronson, but I liked this idea better... It's not too random, is it?

I'm going away the last week of September, so I'll try and get the next chapter up by next weekend.

Review ?(:
