Silver girl, silver girl, let me come in.

Peering down through the skylight.

Creeping down the hall.

Opening the door.

“What?” Katelyn said blearily as she sat up. She could see her breath, and when she looked up she saw that the skylight was completely covered with snow.

She had taken off her soaking wet pajamas and laid them on towels on the floor; they were still ice-cold and still wet. If she had hung them in the bathroom, her grandfather would have known that she’d gone outside.

She dressed in jeans and a sweater, realizing she felt the cold, and raced downstairs. Mordecai was putting a log on the fire, which crackled and roared. She was surprised that she felt the cold so intensely and it drove her over to stand in front of it next to him. The radiating warmth began to thaw her slightly.

“Good morning,” her grandfather said.

She nodded. “Why is it so cold?” She walked over to the window and stared outside.

Snow, everywhere. The dreaded winter had finally come.

She leaned her head against the windowpane and strangled back a sob. What happens when the full moon comes in a couple of weeks? She took a moment to steady herself. Her grandfather came to stand beside her and she stole a glance at him. What do you know? What’s going on? she wanted to scream at him. But she stayed quiet.

“Are we snowed in?” she asked.

“Naw,” he said with a chuckle. “Higher up the mountain got a lot of snow, but this isn’t bad. Just means it’s time to put chains on your car. You ever done that?”

She shook her head. She’d seen her dad do it once when she was a kid on a trip to Lake Tahoe, but that was it.

“I’ll teach you,” he said.

A low rumbling sound reached her ears. Oh no, why am I growling? she thought. It took her a breathless moment to realize that the sound wasn’t coming from her, but from outside.

“What’s that sound?” she asked.

He cocked his head as though listening. She mentally smacked her forehead. Of course, he probably can’t hear it. He isn’t a werewolf.

A moment passed, then another. The rumbling grew louder, sounding mechanical in some way.

Finally he nodded. “Sounds like Trick’s car.” He looked at her intently. “Sharp ears,” he muttered.

Trick was coming. There were silver bullets in the garage, Justin was spying on her, and now Trick.

A minute later, his Mustang pulled up outside the cabin. Katelyn watched from the window as he got out. He was wearing a black sweater and black pants, and he looked sleek, like a panther.

He walked up the steps and she went to answer the door. Despite everything, she felt a tingle of anticipation as she let him in.

“Mornin’,” Trick said. He kicked the snow off his boots on the mat, took them off, and walked inside.

“Coffee?” Mordecai said, appearing from the kitchen with a mug.

“You know I never refuse free coffee,” Trick said, taking the mug and sipping the hot liquid. “Or free food.
