After hugging Blanchette goodbye her mother left. Samantha stood up and the nurse took the wheelchair. It is an exciting ride home the girls talking about wolves and making jokes about Samantha becoming a werewolf.
After lunch, Mrs. Brown took Blanchette home. Blanchette inspected her scooter and is surprised to see that her blown tire has been replaced, "I wonder who did it?"
"Me too," her mother says.
"I already had lunch, my backpack is still at granny, I will see you, tomorrow mom," Blanchette says about to leave.
"No way, I will take you to get your backpack, it is not safe."
"Mom, seriously. Fine, just drop me then and pick me up tomorrow."
"Ok, but no wandering around the woods."
Blanchette just rolls her eyes at her mom as they get back into the car. The drive is short and her grandmother is already waiting on the porch.
"Hello granny," Blanchette hugs her grandmother who she is extremely fond of.
"Hello dear, come, come let's go bake something."
"Great."
That evening Blanchette laying in bed at her granny's house she heard a ruckus outside the house. She looks through her window to investigate but saw nothing. She made her way to the front door but got intersected by her grandmother, "go back to your room, I will investigate."
"Is that a shot-gun?" Blanchette asks shocked.
"Well, I stay alone in the woods, for sure I own a shot-gun," her granny says as she loads it.
"You surprise me every day, the coolest granny ever," Blanchette drags out 'ever.'
Blanchette does not listen to her grandmother but instead follows her outside, "Blanchette, go inside!"
"Fine," Blanchette stomps her feet as she goes back into the cottage.
Elizabeth quietly walks around her house but sees nothing. With her werewolf eyesight, she has great vision and in the distance, she could see a couple of wolves. The wolves are part of her pack and Elizabeth knows that they are growing restless. Elizabeth is the Alpha even though she never shifts and her pack wants to challenge her for not allowing them to shift into their human form for the past sixteen years.
Elizebeth's mind-link with her pack, "go away. Do what you are supposed to do and patrol the woods. That hybrid must have attacked a human and now they are blaming wolves."
"Blanchette has come of age, we want to shift at will!" Elizebeth hears their complaints that is all she's been hearing since Blanchette turned sixteen.
"Now more than ever you need to take care of this town and woods, your home." Elizebeth tries to calm them down.
"Gra...?" Blanchette unexpectedly makes her presence known.
Elizabeth got such a fright that she turned around and shoots Blanchette before she could finish her words.
"Oh my word," Elizabeth drops the shotgun when she realized what she has done. In an instant the pack ran over.
"Coach her to shift and she will be fine," Elizabeth hears her pack noise in her mind.
"No, she will not be a werewolf," Elizabeth shouts back at her pack.
"Granny? Who are you talking to?" Blanchette coughs out the words.
"You will be ok my dear, hold your hand here to stop the bleeding, I will run in and call an ambulance," Elizabeth place both Blanchettes hands over her belly.
As soon as Elizebeth ran off into her cottage Jerimiah sped to Blanchette's side, "do I coach her to shift, or do I get her to a hospital?" he asks the wolves standing around allowing them to mind-link with him.
"Elizabeth will have you killed so I think it is best to get her to a hospital but even if she gets to a hospital in time she might not make it, it looks like she shot her in the lungs," the pack doctor looks around Blanchette's chest.
Blanchette looks at Jerimiah and wonders what is happening and what is Jerimiah, her teenage crush that disappeared about a year ago, supposedly moved to another town when he landed in foster care after the attack on his family, "Jerimiah?"
"Blanchette, don't talk, I am going to lift you up and now," Jerimiah lifts Blanchette up and speeds off to hospital with her. Elizabeth is about to call for an ambulance when she heard her pack members talk to Jerimiah through their mind-link but she is too late to stop him. Elizabeth could shift and run to the hospital but then she will be naked when she arrives there, 'what am I going to tell her mother?'
"Jerimiah, don't take her to hospital, bring her back, I will coach her to shift," Elizabeth mind-links Jerimiah in hope that his mind is still open.
Jerimiah heard Elizabeth and came to a halt. For a moment he considered taking Blanchette back but then he decided to rather take Blanchette to his family home and coach her to shift himself, even though he never coach anyone before.
"I will coach her myself, don't try to find us, I will keep her safe. And don't worry, I will compel her so that she does not remember being shot."
"Bring her back here now!" But Elizabeth is talking to herself as Jerimiah already cut her and her pack out.
Jerimiah laid Blanchette down on his bed as it is the only place in the house that is not smeared with blood. He is ready to help her transform into a werewolf but then he doubted himself. Jerimiah did spend all day reading up on Vampires and knew by now that if he let her drink his blood that she would heal up.
Instead of helping her to shift for the first time he bit opened his own flesh and put his palm to her mouth. At first, she objected not understanding what is going on so he compelled her, "drink."

Blanchette felt the pain go away and she started to feel intoxicated. Jerimiah compelled her to stop and left her to sleep it off.
Jerimiah sped off to the nearest 24/7 to buy some cleaning items so that he could clean up his family home. It didn’t take him long using Vampire speed. After he was done cleaning the house he cleaned the garden, ‘I will have to wait until tomorrow for the DIY stores to open so that I can buy some paint and things to fix up this place.’
