A/N: Ayyyyyyyyyyyyy! This has actually been sitting on my computer for a minute. My computer broke and I was mad. as. hell. Still doing school stuff and all that. Leave a review if you liked, blah blah blahhhh. Another update will be happening soon.


After that statement from Joe, everyone began to realize that they were fair game, gender preference notwithstanding. Taylor stared up at the ceiling, a shaky sigh escaping from her lips. Everyone else seemed to be at a loss for words, except for Colby and Jon. Eventually they would be going through the same thing, but at a later date. Joe was the oldest out of the trio.

"Oh god, does that mean I'm gonna have to see uncovered Samoan wolf dick in two weeks?" Everyone looked at Randy, who had a look of horror on his face. Poor guy. "...I'M SWITCHING SCHOOLS."

"Oh please," AJ said. "It was your fault you stared at it."

"You stared too!"

"Hey, I'm allowed to. Vampires get special privileges."

"SINCE WHEN?"

Nikki shook her head and turned to look at her sister, who...seemingly appeared out of nowhere. "Hey you."

"Hey." Brie hugged her sister and sat with the rest of the group. "So, whatcha guys talking about?"

"Nothin' interestin'," Jon said. "Joe just said he's probably gonna be enterin' heat within the next two weeks. No one's off limits."

"Ah great, it's the beginning of our senior year and it's gonna start with Joe fucking somebody into a coma. Lovely. Hope Stephanie can make his medicine in abundance."

Joe stared at Brie, growling slightly. "Rude."

"Hey, I'm being truthful."

"Fucking someone into a coma...oh my god." Taylor rolled on the floor and towards the entrance. "I can't take this, you guys!"

"Oh honey..." Colby paused to shake his head. "You haven't seen nothing yet."

"...WHAT?"


Shortly after that realization, everyone dispersed and went their own way for now. Taylor just returned to her dorm room and sat down on her bed. School hasn't even started yet and everything was going downhill. She sighed. She had a long year ahead of her.

A knock on the door caused her to groan. God, she couldn't rest even if she wanted to. She got up once again, opening the door. In the doorway stood a very pale woman, her hair dark as night itself. Taylor blinked twice, hoping that it was just a ghost she was looking at.

"Um...hello." She looked around. "Are you...looking for someone?"

"Yeah," She said, allowing herself in. "I'm lookin' for you. Taylor, right? Jon and April couldn't stop talkin' about you."

"O...kay?" She sat down on the bed. "What's your name, if you mind me asking?"

"It's Paige. I'm a banshee. Yep, I scream people's heads off." Eventually they ended up delving into more topics of conversation, until a large blond wolf sat in the doorway actively listening. Taylor tilted her head to the side, completely confused. But Paige seemed amused. She laughed, getting up and petting the wolf. "It's just Jon, don't worry. He does this a lot when he's bored."

"Just...lurking in doorways? "

"Yep. Or maybe he just wants to snuggle with ya. We'll talk more later." Before Taylor could say anything else, she left. Once the woman left, Jon jumped up on Taylor's bed, his head resting in her lap. She simply laid her hand on his head, petting him.

"...What exactly have I gotten myself into, Jon? Joe's going into heat soon, and everyone's in a frenzy...why me?" Jon moved from Taylor's lap to one of her pillows, nearly taking up the entire space. "What, you tired again?"

He didn't say a word, not like he could in that form anyway. Still, she continued to pet him, occasionally scratching behind his ears too. "I'm gonna go see Stephanie, see what she has in store for Joe." She got up, grabbing her room key and her shoes. She locked the door behind her before she took off for the main building.


"So...you can't make anything until Joe's heat is in full effect?"Nikki rubbed her temples. "Well, that's great...any precautionary measures we can take?"

"I'm afraid so," Steph said. She wasn't happy about it either, but she can't really guess when it comes to something this hormonal. She had to be accurate or Joe was really going to be a menace to society. "The only thing I can do is basically send him home, but he refused. I can't make him do anything, Nicole."

"I know I know, but the last thing we want him to do is commit murder and sexual assault at the same damn time."

"Uh yeah, I'm still in the damn room you two." Joe had his face in his palm, unable to believe that this conversation was even happening. "I don't let my instincts control me, and I refused to go home because what's the point? Just let me stay in my dorm room until it passes."

"That would make you more agitated by your surroundings. At least your parents would be able to control you better than we can."

The door to Hunter and Stephanie's office opened, and in stepped Taylor. She shut the door behind her, sighing a little. "Anything I missed from the conversation?"

"Nothing new," Hunter said. "We're coming up with alternatives until then, but Joe doesn't want to accept 'em."

"Well, werewolves are stubborn. If need be, I'll take care of him." She was willing to take one for the team, although she had a feeling that it'll be her Joe will choose. Oh joy.

Hunter stepped behind his desk and approached Taylor, laying a hand on her shoulder. "Come, let's walk and talk."

"Hey!" Nikki pouted. "She's supposed to be a part of this conversation too."

"She will be, just gotta talk to her privately. Although, I'm not sure there's much to talk about."

"Thank you!" Joe waved his hands about, completely withdrawn from the conversation at this point. "Can I go back to doin' somethin' worthwhile? I promise my heat won't get the better of me."

"Empty words, Joseph..." Nikki shook her head.


"What did you have to speak to me about?" Taylor asked. She was wary of how quiet Hunter was being. "Is it something bad?"

"No, but it's information that would interest you. That video of you in your monster form? I traced it back to the source." The fact that Taylor stopped walking meant that he had her full attention. But he didn't feel that comfortable about telling her. However, withholding something this important would have serious consequences later on. "...It's from your parents."

Taylor almost paled. She hasn't seen her parents in a decade, maybe more. Why now? What was their plan? She looked up at Hunter, her eyes watering as she fought back tears.

"Y-You can't be serious. I haven't heard from them in ten years, maybe more! What the hell is the reason for them mysteriously sending a video to you guys? It makes no sense!"

"We know, we know. But it allowed you to be welcomed into this...school with open arms." Hunter almost said 'institiution', as the word alone basically would send Taylor into a frenzy. "Athough, with what you showed during the initiation, we would've contacted you either way. But, I thought you should know."

"...Thanks." Taylor was definitely confused, and in a frenzy. If they sent that video...then that means they know exactly where she was.

Not good.
