Now do you want to do this the easy way or hard way? Because I'm super pissed and you don't want to tempt me." Julian took another step towards me but I was ready, ready to strike as soon as he got close enough.

I stood still as Julian approached and I watched as he hissed and his four canine teeth grew thicker and sharper. He was definitely a werewolf and I gulped as he reached me and closed the gap between us in one step.

Without flinching I stabbed him in the right side of his chest and rushed out of the room as he yelped in pain. I knew he was going to heal, but I just had to buy enough time to get outside and then I would be fine.

I was going to run to a neighbour's house and call Derek. There was no way I was calling my uncle the Sherriff. I wouldn't have been able to live with myself if he got hurt because of me. Stiles had already lost his mother; he couldn't lose his father as well.

"That wasn't very nice." Julian growled.

I ran past the kitchen and through the lounge room ignoring the pain but I toppled to the ground before I could get to the front door. Julian was on top of me and I couldn't move let alone push him off of me.

Why is he trying to infect me? I didn't understand.

"Why are you doing this?" I screamed.

"Don't worry. You'll be thanking me in no time."

Thanking him? Why will I be thanking him for this? I was either going to die or become a werewolf.

"Get off of my daughter." I heard my mother growl as she barged through the front door and she literally sounded like an animal which is when I noticed her eyes were glowing a very bright red.

What the hell?

"I have to do something quickly first."

I watched as my mother quickly shifted; showing off her sharp teeth and sharp looking claws. At least she wasn't the ugly werewolf that belonged in those terrible B-grade horror movies. I don't hate all of them, only some of them.

Oh my god!

My mother had ran and lunged on Julian just as quickly as she had shifted and they were fighting in the corner of the room- growling and snarling.

I quickly stood to my feet as Julian shifted into a wolf. He's coat was more light brown than dark and I ran to the phone and dialled Derek's number as my mother's claws connected with Julian's face and he yelped.

"He's here." I practically screamed into the phone and hated how much I sounded like a weak pathetic girl.

"Get somewhere safe now. I'll be there real soon." Derek growled and I hung up the phone, but I couldn't leave. I had to stay in case he got the upper hand. I couldn't let my mother die- I wouldn't.

My mother and Julian looked to have a few cuts, and so far the score looked even. They were both snarling and staring at one another; it looked like they were waiting for the other to make the next move.

Julian shifted back to his human form and I had to avert my eyes because he was stark naked. "Enough! I'll go and leave Kristin unharmed." Julian's cuts had already healed.

My mother must have been one tough wolf. Julian looked sinister and downright scary yet he was bowing out of the fight. I was kind of proud of my mother.

She still had her claws and teeth out and darted straight to me; taking a protective stance in front of me as Julian gathered his clothes and began to get dressed. She didn't stop growling once and I had to hold back the smug smile I wanted to give Julian. I didn't want to antagonise him in case he attacked my mother to get to me.
