My heart stopped and the world around me crumbled. This could not be happening!
This was all just a nightmare. A big, horrible, scary, nightmare!
Alex held me close as we both cried.
"This should have happened to me!" I sobbed.
"No! I wouldn't let that happen o you. Then you'd be a werewolf and I'd have to watch in agony as you lived a completely different life."
"But you're dying, Alex." I whined, holding him tighter.
Then... a plan came to mind.
~*~
As soon as Alex was asleep, I found my way outside.
I was pissed, so I was gonna stand my guard.
I opened the gate and stepped outside, completely vulnerable now.
"Nick!" I shouted, knowing he was out here somewhere.
A few seconds later he appeared in front of me.
"Yes?" he asked, drawing out the word.
"Is there a cure for a werewolf bite?" I asked, stepping back a foot.
"Of course there is. I'll give it to you... on one condition."
"I'll do anything for it."
Nick smiled a sly smile.
He pulled a knife out of his pocket and a small vial.
He opened the vial and slid the blade over his wrist, spilling the blood inside before it healed.
Nick looked up at me and held the vial at arms length.
"Leave the gate unlocked and the front door opened and this is yours."
"Done!" I said, taking the vial, not thinking at all.
"Have him drink that and he'll be fine. But if you don't put up your bargain, I'll get my revenge!" He called as I ran back inside.
~*~
I ran inside, screaming so everyone would wake up.
We all met out in the hall.
"I got the cure, I got the cure!" I sang over and over again, spinning in circles.
I gave the vial to Alex.
"Drink that."
"Where'd you get this?" Alex asked.
"Nick. He gave it to me after I agreed to leave the gate and front door open."
"What?!?" Kyler roared, pissed as he pulled Avery close to him.
"I told you so when he gets here, we can stop him. Everyone wins!"
"It's not that simple, X. He's not to be trusted. He'll probably bring his entire clan and we'll be vulnerable. Just like this morning!"
"Not if we have a plan." Kody said, smiling mischievously.
