I decided to take a walk to Downtown Seattle before the time was up for me to transform into a werewolf for the first time. I heard a howl that sounded like my best friend Steven Ashford's. He was a werewolf too.

"Steven?" I whispered. I ran to find him when suddenly, a male vampire captured me and chained me up at my enemy Larissa Hathaway's underground office. I found Ariella and a werewolf Steven chained up as well. I could feel the potion's effects wearing off. I started to feel like I was about to transform into the werewolf. I looked at Ariella.

"Ariella, I have something to tell you," I said, in pain. "That werewolf that you see right there, is Steven."

"I'm so sorry that I didn't believe you, Christian," said Ariella. "And Steven, I love you. Even if you are a werewolf. Oh my God."

Steven growled. I started to feel that I wasn't necessarily human anymore.

Larissa scoffed and said, "Stop all this Twilight romance bullshit you guys. It's getting boring."

"Larissa, they're just friends, let us go!" Ariella shouted. I groaned in pain because I could feel tingling throughout my entire body. She looked at me.

"Ariella, your boyfriend and other best friend are werewolves, my ancestral enemies," said Larissa. She almost passed out due to vampire thirst. Her eyes changed from brown to blood red. "Where was I? Oh yeah, that's right." She walked in front of Steven.

I looked at Ariella as my eyes changed from chocolate brown to golden yellow.

"Say goodbye to werewolf life, Steven," said Larissa, getting ready to bite Steven.

"NO!" Ariella shouted as the ground started to shake. I was transforming into a werewolf for the first time.

"How? He's not a werewolf too, is he?" asked Ariella.

Larissa tensed up and said, "Uh, you guys, I'm gonna go." She flew away.

Steven broke off his chains and let Ariella free along with me. Ariella walked in between Steven and I.

"Alright boys, it's time to fight the fight once and for all," she said. "Steven, you go beat some vampire ass. Christian can take me home so I'm safe."

Steven escaped to go fight the vampires.

"I love you Steven!" shouted Ariella. I got in front of Ariella and guided her home.
