are gross. Gotcha,” Paige said, smiling.
    Travis gave her a stern look before continuing. “They stole our sacred staff presented by the Comanche. It tells the spirits that guard the land who the rightful owner is. If the vampire gets it then he can move onto the land and rape it of its natural resources.”
    “How would rats kill a bunch of people?” she asked.
    “Wererats are much larger than normal rats and their bites are incredibly strong,” Travis said. “However they still would not have been able to kill all of my people unless they were in lunar form.”
    “What’s lunar form?”
    “Lycanthropes,” he said.
    “What’s that?” she asked.
    “A shifter, basically. They can shift into their animal form whenever they please, most prefer to stay in the animal form. But, when the moon is full they transform into a monstrous half human and half animal combination.”
    “I see,” Paige said. “And so what are you exactly?”
    “I am a werewolf,” Travis said, his orange eyes narrowing. “I was the beta male of my pack, next in line to become alpha. With my alpha being killed I have now assumed the alpha position, but I have no pack and no land. I must find the wererats and vampire that did this and take back the staff. Then I will see about repopulating my pack.”
    “Well, that’s a wonderful story, Travis,” Paige said, standing up and walking towards the door. “Unfortunately my life is complicated right now and I have no room for crazy in it.”
    “You don’t believe me, do you?” Travis asked.
    “Who in the hell would believe a crazy story like that?” she said, her voice growing loud and shrill. “Jacob was a nice guy, but I always knew there was something off about him. I guess crazy runs in the family in Bowshot.”
    “Shut the door,” Travis said, pulling his shirt over his head.
    “I don’t have time for this,” she said. “I’m asking you to leave.”
    “SHUT the door,” Travis said, with strong emphasis on shut.
    Paige felt a bit afraid of what he planned to do, but she shut the door anyway. He walked into the kitchen, pulling his pants and boots off too.
    He’s naked again, she thought. I don’t think I’ve ever been around a naked man this much, even ones I’m dating.
    “What are you doing?” she asked. “Are you going to rape me?” She asked the question half in jest, he didn’t seem to be the type to do that. He wasn’t scary crazy, just guy standing on the corner ranting crazy.
    “I am going to prove to you I’m not fibbing,” Travis said.
    Paige half expected him to drop on all fours and start barking like a dog; that would complete the insanity package perfectly. Instead he began to shake and convulse. She could hear bones cracking as his body began to shift and expand. His legs began to shorten, cracking back into the position a dog’s hind legs would be in. Black fur began to sprout all over his body and his nose lengthened into a snout. The transformation only took 30 seconds, but to Paige everything moved in slow motion. When it was all done a large black wolf, with silver streaks throughout its hair, stood in her kitchen. His head came over her countertops and he was longer than her kitchen table.
    “You were telling the truth,” Paige said, as she began to feel lightheaded. The last thing she remembered was the wolf whining as she fell backwards, passing clean out.
     

Chapter 9
     
    Travis watched as his new friend hit the ground hard. With a sharp whine he rushed over to her, trying to wake her up. He began to lick her face, trying to bring her back to the world of the living. The salty smell of blood began to assault his keen smell as he sniffed around the girl. His eyes caught the sight of red liquid seeping out from the back of her head. Travis nosed her over and began to lick the wound, trying to clean it up. It wasn’t very bad, just a small nick; she wouldn’t even require stitches.
    She groaned and shuddered, seeming to finally regain
