Chapter Sixteen

Grace

I was so scared, but I couldn't do anything about it. All I wanted was Sam but I couldn't have him. Everyone kept talking to me just to keep me calm. I heard from behind the curtain that I was losing a lot of blood even though my legs were wrapped, so that wasn't good.

"It's going to be alright," Cole whispered as he rubbed my hand. He looked worried, but he seemed to do well in a crises. In the corner of the room there was a little window, and Rebecca was sitting in front of it. I head her whispering to herself. She told me she was religious so I thought she was praying. I felt horrible wrecking her car and she wasn't even fazed.

"Rebecca?" I asked. She didn't answer; she really must have been upset.

"Paul, can you go check on her." I said to Paul, pointing to Rebecca. He walked over and touched her shoulder.

Rebecca

"God, please help Grace, she really needs you right now." I prayed because that's all I had left.

"Rebecca?" Paul asked. I felt like I had heard that one thousand times.

"What?"

"Are you ok?"

"Yes I'm fine, just upset about Grace," I said into my palms.

"Don't,"

"I can't," Paul picked my face up out of my hands and wiped the tears from my eyes.

"It's going to be alright." A woman walked into the room and saw Paul's hands on my hands and got very upset.

"What's going on here," the woman yelled. Paul got up from where he was sitting and walked over to the woman.

"Lori it's not what it looks like," Paul said.

"So then what were you doing," Lori yelled.

"Lori, Paul was just comforting me." I said saving Paul from getting yelled at more, "I'm having a real hard time with Grace in this condition.

"Oh, I see," said Lori, "Sorry Paul," Lori leaned over and kissed Paul's cheek. Sam and Grace's parents walked out into the room with us all. The room was cramped with all the people in it. A doctor walked in and started talking to Grace.

"You know you're in very crucial condition, don't you?"

"Yes," Grace said.

"We're going to have to do surgery," Grace closed her eyes and breathed very slow.

"Ok," she whispered. The doctors told everyone to say what they needed to do. I walked over and said that everything was going to be alright.

"Thanks," she whispered

Sam

"I'll miss you Grace, they told me I couldn't go in, and I love you." I whispered as I hugged her cold body. She leaned over and kissed my lips. Even her lips were cold, poor thing. Her parents stood by the wall and said goodbye before the doctor rolled her out of the room. They put a mask on her face and we all watched her eyes close slowly. She held my hand, but when her eyes closed her hand fell onto the bed. We were asked to go to the waiting room, so we walked there and sat down.

"Rebecca, why do you look so familiar?" I asked.

"Beck," that was all she had to say and I knew who she was.

"You were the girl in Beck's truck, from Canada." I was glad we were the only ones in the waiting room, Grace's parents just listened.

"Yes," she said with a tear in her eye.

"Are you cured?" Cole asked

"Cured? There is a cure?" Rebecca said gasping.

"What are you even talking about?" Grace's father asked.

"Something that you have no concern about," I snapped.

"Ya there is a cure, but how come you didn't change when you got in the accident with Grace?" Cole said.

"I really don't know I haven't been changing since the summer," Rebecca said.

"Summer?" Cole gasped.

"Yes it was horrible, my hometown got so worried since they heard that Grace and this girl Olivia ran away. I ran away, well at least they thought I ran away but really I changed and I didn't tell anyone." Rebecca said holding back tears.

"Well then how did your braces stay on?"

"I got them in the fall, and I haven't changed yet so I really don't know what will happen."

"That would be cool, a wolf with braces." Cole yelled.

"Shut up Cole," I said as I pointed to Grace's parents. Cole threw his hands in the air and said,

"It's over Sam, were all cured, no more wolves of Mercy Falls anymore, you can tell them now, no big deal."

"Yes there is a big deal she is one and how do we deal with it Cole?"

"I don't know it will take me a week to find what I need for a new batch for a shot."

"Shot?" Rebecca screamed.

"Ya um that's the only downer, but if she hasn't shifted since summer we have to wait till she shifts."

"Great," Ulrik sighed. Grace's parents seemed confused so I felt it was time to tell them about the wolves.

"We're werewolves, well were werewolves. When I was small wolves attacked me and then my parents slit my wrists thinking that I was demon possessed when I was shifting into a wolf in my own house and then Beck adopted me and that's the story about how I became a werewolf. When Grace was bitten when she was little I saved her while I was a wolf. Then you locked her in the car so the heat stopped her from turning into a wolf. Then since Grace never shifted she got sick. Hence when she was really sick. Cole bit her so she would shift and not be sick anymore. I was shot by Isabel's father so I turned human in the winter. Grace brought me to the hospital because I was shot in your backyard. Then she let me sleep on her floor, but she was afraid I was going to change in her room so she let me sleep on her bed. Then I got upgraded to under the covers, and I was always worried about you finding me, but then Grace said that you never ever were home so to stop worrying. I love Grace, and I know I might have ruined it a few times but I must be doing something right since Grace loves more and more each day." It felt good to let it all out but Grace's parents had to take it all in.

"All of you were wolves at one point?" Grace's mother asked.

"Except for me," Isabel said.

"I'm one right now," Rebecca said.

"And I know how to help her but it might be a while till she shifts." Cole added.

"Wait, is Grace a werewolf?" Grace's father asked.

"She was, but Cole saved her and all of us."
