Chapter 9

GOOGLE WAS AN unstoppable force. There were over 800,000 links that promised information on werewolves, but nothing on the Wighcomocos legend. I sat there for hours in my room, trying to find the right source for information. It was exasperating. Everything I saw wanted me to watch this movie, or read that horror book. All the pictures were of horrific creatures that promised certain doom with beady eyes, sharp, blood-covered fangs and long claws. The only chance for my survival? A silver bullet. It was all wrong. I sat, disgusted, and stared at the monitor where a grotesque figure with long, scary claws stood on its back feet and glared back at me. Adam wasn’t this monster at all. As a human, he was a gorgeous guy. But as his wolf, he was graceful, powerful, sleek and astounding. He was beautiful, plain and simple, as a guy and as a wolf.

I clicked on another link that informed me of the saving power of silver ammunition. I wondered if even that would slow Adam down. I wound one blonde curl around my finger as I looked at the screen. If he could tangle with a bear and come out untouched, a bullet wouldn’t stop him either. As long as he was a Keeper, he had to be safe. I hoped he would always be safe.

“Nikki, phone.”

I ran down the stairs and caught the phone as Mom tossed it to me from the kitchen.

“Hello?”

“Hey. It’s me,” an unidentified girl gushed on the other end of the line. “You’re never going to believe this.”

“Ronnie?” I asked, perplexed, as I curled up on the sofa and tucked my legs under me.

“Oh, yeah, sorry. It’s me. Listen, you know how Bernie and Beth were at cheer practice the other day? Well, guess what?”

“I…” one word was all that made it out.

“Never mind, you’ll never guess. Who would? I mean, it’s like, just amazing that’s all.” She sounded giddy.

“Ok, Ronnie. What on earth are you talking about?”

“I just talked to Beth. You’re the main story for the school paper tomorrow. Bernie took lots of shots of the pyramids at cheerleading practice last week. He took tons of close-ups, and they just developed them today. They saw where Tiffany’s leg was moved when you fell.” She sounded like a chipmunk chattering away.

“I’m the main story for the paper,” I groaned. Just great, as if I didn’t have enough going on in my life right now.

“Didn’t you hear me?” she asked, “It means that the crazy Barbie doll may have to answer for what she did. They could kick her off the squad. It’s proof in black and white. We could get a new captain. Maybe we could vote you in. You are better than she is, anyway.”

“No,” I bellowed into the receiver in alarm.

“Oh.” She sounded as if her feelings were hurt. I took a deep breath and made a mental note to grab aspirin for the migraine that had started to throb in my temple.

“Sorry, Ronnie,” I sighed.
