Allen

"It's time to wake up Allen. Hurry." I yawned. That was the best sleep I'd had in a long time. Maybe because I've been getting up early all summer to volunteer at the park.

Whatever the case may be, laying here with Samantha reminded me of Marissa. Way too much. In fact, it worried me.

"Hey, Samantha?"

No response.

"Have you ever felt like something bad was about to happen? Sort of like, almost deja vu, but not really?"

I turned over on my side, expecting to see her smile with a sexy look in her eyes, but she was gone. "Um, where are you? No response. I raised my shirt, and looked at my chest. No new scars, so she hadn't stolen my kidneys. Yet. But where did she go?

"Allen, we need to start going to my house immediately."

I glanced around quickly. "Where the hell are you?" I looked in the bathroom, she wasn't there. I looked under the beds. She wasn't there. "I'm inside you." She whispered. "But let me explain-"

"AHH!" My arms started to tremble, and I started clutching and shaking my clothes, as if I could shake her off somehow.

"What the hell!?"

In the midst of my hissy fit, I felt a warmth on my shoulder, as if she was trying to comfort me somehow.

"Calm down,"she said in her sultry voice. "After last night, I thought it would be good to switch roles, am I right?" She laughed.

"WHAT?!"

"Okay, okay, okay, I went to far. I'm sorry."

It didn't sound like she was sorry. "Look, I only did this because I sensed danger. My family knows we're coming, I don't know how they found out, but they know.

As soon as I woke up, I could tell. Luckily, it seems they've employed normal humans to get rid of us, instead of some magical creature. I wrapped my arms around you, murmured a quick spell, and tried to wake you up."

I couldn't believe this crap."So I'm your human shield, huh?" I was indignant. "She must have sensed my anger, because she tried to console me. "Listen, this won't last long. You need to hurry to my house quickly. I'll guide you."

I listened, but made no motion to move.

"Come on! We need to hurry!"

I still refused to move.

"What do you want me to do? Apologize?" She asked.

"I WANT YOU TO GET OUT OF ME!" I screamed. This girl was insane!

"I told you, I'm hiding because of people that are coming for us! I'm not leaving until... Oh no! Damn it Allen! They're here!"

I didn't understand what she was talking about until I heard the loud ass pounding at the door five seconds later.

"This is the police! OPEN UP"

I nearly jumped out of my skin. I started to hide under the bed. " What the hell do you think you're doing?" Samantha scolded me. "Stand up, run, or fight them! Do something!" This chick is a hypocrite. She was literally hiding inside of me, and she was trying to tell me to stand up to them. Screw her.

Fortunately, this was a really nice hotel room. It had a balcony that overlooked the pool. Even if I didn't have wolf powers, Landing in the pool should be easy. I could survive a drop from the 47th floor of a hotel, right?

I started to run for it the moment they busted the door open. I wished I heeded Sam's warning and got out sooner. Right before I could jump, the rapid fire busted my eardrums, and my back was peppered with bullets. My adrenaline must have filled my senses, because at first the bullets felt like really hard punches. Then I started to feel trickle down my back and I became aware of but the pain. It felt like my skin was melting, and I dropped to the ground.

I started to assume that my powers were similar to the Hulk's, because when I looked at my hand, it was changing into the wolf form I had used against Donovan. This was a good thing, because apparently, I was hard to kill. I just didn't know if I could transform into it willingly yet.

"Get back on the ground, now!" A different officer said as I started to get up. They shot me more, again and again, but the more the wolf form took over, the less I felt it. Finally, I could stand up fully and turn around to see them. There were six, all dressed in there black gear, pointing there weapons at me. They looked more like a SWAT team than regular police officers.

But now, I stood over them. Maybe eight or nine feet, I couldn't tell. I grabbed the leftmost one by his head and threw him into the flat screen TV. I punched the one in the middle, and he went flying back through the door they had just busted open.

I raised my right arm, and I could feel my claws extending. I was about to give the remaining police a couple of split ends, but a flashy red aura surrounded my arm.

"We need to get away from them. Do not kill them. Let's go, Allen. We have bigger enemies than them."

She was right. I lowered my arm, and the red aura disappeared. I ran to the window and jumped.

When I landed I noticed two things. One, I was human again, because I landed beside the pool, on my hands and feet. Two, I had clothes on. My clothes should've been ripped to shreds, but they were perfectly fine. Apparently, Sam knew what I was thinking. "Don't worry. As long as I'm with you, you'll never lose your clothes when you turn into My Big Bad Wolf." She's said my, so I guess she thinks she owns me now. But this taught me a lesson. Whenever I sleep with a girl, I'm running away the moment they fall asleep. I had two disasters two days in a row. I refuse to continue this streak.

"Allen's gonna kill us" Marissa said sadly. We had searched Allen's apartment. Everything was the same. The furniture. The clothes. The glass. The blood. The hole in the wall. Everything. After we picked up Danielle's scent on some of Allen's clothes, we followed the scent to her house. Marissa was aggravated the whole time.

"I'm just saying, why the hell did most of his clothes have her scent on them? I thought they were just friends. It just doesn't seem right, because he paid her no attention in the bunker."

We were almost at Danielle's house, and I was almost fed up with Marissa's suspicions. "Wait, maybe me imprinting on him made him neglect her! I feel so bad..."

"Then tell him to get back together with her," I interjected.

"Hell no." She replied.

"Okay then. This conversation is pointless."

Donovan inhaled and exhaled loudly. "We're here."

Somehow, Danielle's house was smaller and less impressive than Allen's apartment.

Donovan, who has no respect for anyone, walked up to the door, broke the handle, and was about to walk in before we stopped him.

"You can't just do that!" I told him.

"She has a family!" Marissa agreed.

"Fine," Donovan said. He had a tired lazy look in his face, like this whole thing was just a boring chore.

He rang the doorbell and we waited. I hoped that Danielle's family wouldn't notice the doorknob was broken. A pretty hispanic woman opened the door. "Hello, who are you?"

"We are friends of Danielle," Donovan spoke first. "We were wondering if... She wanted to come to the movies with us."

The lady frowned. "Why would your friend Danielle be here?"

We all took a step back a bit. This was Danielle's house, it had to be. We could smell her all over it. Plus, this woman looked like her a little bit. Her eyes, her nose... Wait a second. Her eyes had a faint green light on them, just barely noticeable.

"She's been mesmerized." I told the others through our mental link. "They've already started to hunt Allen and Danielle, and they must've started with her family"

"Oh I'm so sorry," I laughed a fake laugh. "This must be the wrong house. I'm sorry we troubled you."

"It was no trouble at all sweetie," she said, and sounded completely sincere. She moved to close the door, and looked at the handle.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk," she said. "My husband must've broken this when he came in last night."

Allen

We approached the neighborhood, and my imagination was way off. It was a cul-de-sac, with Sam's house probably on the end, the neighborhood actually looked nice. There wasn't any litter, and it was really peaceful. Probably because none of the people in these neighboring houses were real.

Running here was a great exercise. Sam agreed with me, which was annoying, because this was probably like an extra long piggy back ride for her. I was on the sidewalk, and I started to walk the path up to the house, and Sam stopped me with the red aura. "No go in the street, she advised. "It's too dangerous to get close to these houses." Right after she said that she made me jump into the middle of the street, as a black, javelin looking weapon soared past where I was first standing and impaled itself into the stop sign.

"Thanks, but I don't like it when you control me." The aura dissipated. "Fine. Get killed if you want to." Several people came out of their houses. I couldn't tell if they were looking at me at first. Two went to check their mail. One turned his spiker sprinkler on. Four hopped into their cars.

"Sam, they seem so normal, are you sur-"

"Move idiot! MOVE!" Simultaneously, the two that checked their mail and the one that cut on his sprinklers looked at me, pulled out guns and started shooting. I was in the middle of the goddamn street, nothing to hide behind, nothing to shield myself.

I got shot in my side twice, another went into my right kneecap, another hit my foot.

I stupidly put my hands up as if that could stop anything. I didn't know who to run forward to. I didn't know who to strike first.

Then, one caught me in the throat. That's when Sam decided to engage. She took control again, and this time, the fiery red surrounded my entire body. She raised my arms into the air, and screamed.

It wasn't my human scream. It wasn't a feminine scream. It was the scream of the giant wolf man form. She made my body do the transformation faster than both of the first two times. She raised her arms (my arms) to them, and stopped all of the bullets in the air. They stayed there, frozen. It made the fake people stop shooting.

They were probably trying to think of another strategy, but she took control of the guns too. A red aura grabbed them, and made them fire out the rest of their ammunition. She clapped my arms together, bringing all the bullets in one place. The three fake people started to grab weapons. Two of the ripped there mailboxes out the ground, the other grabbed his watering hose.... With his mind? I guess? Because it rose, and pointed towards me like a serpent.

That's when I noticed what the other fake people were doing. All four cars turned on at once. They pulled out in unison and started circling me. Us. But Sam paid them no attention. She thrust my right hand out, and all of the bullets, every single one, went flying towards one of the mailbox people. Each one flew through his head, and he staggered backwards and fell. The sound was disgusting. The same happened to the next mailbox man. But the guy with the hose... He tried to defend against it. The hose lashed back and forward, trying to deflect the bullets. I guess it forgot it was a hose. The bullets flew right threw the hose and took down the fake man.

After that, Sam abandoned the bullets and took a head-on approach. She kicked the car in front of us and ruined their death circle. It flipped, over and over till it almost hit the main house, the one at the end of the cul-de-sac. It was stopped abruptly, frozen in midair. A gray light creeped from the edges of the car, and then it folded in on itself, sounded like a car getting compacted.

This shocked Sam too because she stopped moving to gawk at the scene. One of the cars ruined the moment by ramming me from the back. Even in the wolfman form, that crushed my ankles. I was on the hood of the car, and it didn't stop. It kept driving full speed, towards the house at the end.

I wiggled my fingers and realized I had control of my body again.

I used my arms to do a flip and landed behind the car. My ankles were still too injured, however, so instead of a decent landing, I dropped to my knees. The runaway car crashed into the house, ruining the mirage. It crashed into the far left side, and instantly, all the other cars and houses had gray light around them. Everything started to fold in on itself, except for the true house. I reverted back to my human form, and when I looked up, Sam was back holding out her hand to help me up.

"Come on. Let's go meet my family."
