“Sarah?!” By the time I cared that my scream was loud enough to wake everyone in the house, it was too late. “You've been in contact with my psychotic vampire mother this entire time? That's your sage?”

“Hey, she's the one who contacted me,” said Sebastian.

“That makes it worse! Have you forgotten that she tried to sacrifice you and Victor so she could use me to take control over the vampires?”

“My memory has never been a problem,” he said, just standing there with crossed arms and an infuriatingly calm look on his face. “Just calm down and let me explain.”

“There's no explanation that could possibly justify you talking to Sarah,” I said, feeling my anger building to a climax. It took over and I did something I had never even thought of doing in my entire life. I punched Sebastian hard, in the stomach.

“No, Remus, don't --” Victor's attempt to warn me came a little too late. Pain vibrated through my hand like a bell that had just been struck and it radiated in piercing waves all the way up my forearm. Sebastian didn't just look like a wall of muscle, he was one.

Sebastian winced. “You okay?”

His concern caused a sharp spike in the fury that the pain had been distracting me from. I hissed involuntarily as Victor took my hand to examine it.

“He's becoming more like a vampire every day, isn't he?” Sebastian asked.

“It goes back and forth,” said Victor. Evidently my outburst had led to the formation of some kind of truce between them.

“I'm fine,” I muttered, trying in vain to pull my hand away. Victor held it tight, prodding at one of my knuckles. I hissed again, despite my best effort to resist the reflex.

“It's broken,” he announced.

“You've got to be kidding me. I did not just break my hand on Sebastian's abs.”

Sebastian grinned, eating up every minute of it. “Hey, I would've stopped you but you're fast. Besides, you know exactly what's under this shirt.”

“I guess I got lulled into a false sense of security since your abs aren't quite as visible as they used to be,” I shot back. “I think you're consuming a little more fuel than you really need to transform.”

He scowled. Finally something got to him. “I'm bulking.”

“Clearly.”

“That's enough, both of you,” said Victor. “Remus, do you want me to get Clara?”

“No, I don't want to bother Clara over this,” I said, leaving out the fact that I was also much too ashamed of my childish behavior. If Victor brought out the best in me, Sebastian certainly brought out the worst. “It'll heal soon enough.”

He didn't look convinced, but Ulric appeared at the top of the stairs before he had the chance to press the issue.

“What the devil is going on?” he demanded, still wearing his robe and pajamas. “I thought I heard you screaming, Remus.”

“You did,” said Sebastian, smirking again. “He punched me.”

Ulric looked at me for confirmation and I couldn't meet his eyes. The bruised hand Victor was still cradling was enough evidence of what had happened.
