What the F...Mike?

On the night Mikey was to learn he was turning into a vampire I was dancing in my kitchen while I was cutting some veggies to go with dinner. I was singing along with "Queen of Mean" by Sarah Jeffery from the Descendants 3 soundtrack. The music was loud enough that I didn't hear my front door open. I turn around when I feel like someone is watching me. Michael had invited himself inside my home. He looks like shit. I can see he is struggling with his thirst. "What are you doing in my house?" I asked him while I used a towel to wipe off my hands.

Michael didn't answer my question, he just kept staring at me with anger and possibly hunger in his eyes. I slowly moved toward the knife I was using for the vegetables. He notices my movement and rushes to grab the knife first. He was able to grab the handle of the knife before I could, but I grabbed his wrist to try and keep the knife pointed away from me. I knocked his hand against the counter hoping he would drop the knife. Instead, he backhanded me with his free hand.

The strength behind the hit had me stumbling away from him and clutching the side of my face. I regained my footing in time to see Michael lunge at me with the knife. I slid down the counter, throwing his aim off. He ended up stabbing me in the shoulder. With the knife embedded in my shoulder, he let go and stood up. I watched his face shift when he caught the scent of my blood.

I didn't wait for him to attack again. I stood up, gripped the handle of the knife and pulled it out, and threw it at Michael. It barely nicked him on the cheek before falling to the floor. I scrambled past him to run to the backyard where my pups were playing. They must have heard everything since both of them were trying to claw the door to get inside. Michael was right behind me. He caught up to me and shoved me with all his strength.

Doing so, knocked me into the door hard enough to break away from its hinges. Some of the wood from the door stuck to my back and my already injured shoulder. I lifted my head to see that Sirius and Regulus had surrounded Mike, occasionally snapping at him, growling and baring their teeth.

I used my uninjured hand to push myself into a sitting position so I could move further away from Michael. When there was a gap big enough between Sirius and Regulus, Mike sprinted towards me again. Regulus snapped his jaws around Mike's ankle and pulled him back causing him to fall and dragged a few feet away. Sirius bit the same hand Nanook did last night. Neither wolf was going to let go of Michael, giving me more time to get further away.

I heard Mike yell at me, "Get them off me!" "No. You attacked me. You're lucky they haven't torn your throat out," I said back to him. I slowly stood up and limped around him and my pups to go back inside. Once I was over the threshold I told my pups to let him go. Sirius let go first and came and stood by me, Regulus did the same. Both stood in a protective stance in front of me. I threatened Michael, "Don't ever come near me again or I'll put a bullet in your skull. Now, get the hell off my property!"

I watched him limp back to his house to his dirt bike and then he rode off his property towards the Boardwalk. I made my way to my bathroom to clean up my injuries. My back wasn't as hurt as it felt, just a few splinters of wood stuck in my back but weren't that deep. It was the knife wound on my shoulder that was difficult to deal with but I managed.

New Plan

I had just finished bandaging up my shoulder after a shower when the boys showed up. I could hear them banter back and forth about how Mike rode away like a scared bitch after seeing them feed. I was struggling to put on a tee shirt in my bathroom when I heard Marko ask the others, "What happened to the back door?" Dwayne and Marko went to check out the damage to the door. David and Paul came up to my room only to be stopped by a growling Regulus.
