existed!” Seth exclaimed.
“What did he look like?” Brooke asked. “Was he at least hot or was he, like, all wolfed out and hairy?”
“He looked like a normal human being.” Hannah began, deep in thought. “There definitely wasn’t anything hairy about him. Now that I think about it, he was actually really cute—dark complexion, green eyes, short hair, pretty muscular. Not as good-looking as you, Ethan, of course.” Hannah turned to Ethan with a smile.
“What did he do?” I quickly cut in before the conversation had a chance to veer completely off topic. “Did he hurt you?”
“Yes!” she cried, tearing up again. “He—he kidnapped Daisy!”
“Oh, no!” Sophie gasped. “Is Daisy your little sister?”
“No. Daisy is my baby! My poor, little baby!” Hannah was hysterical. “Oh, little Daisy!”
I looked at Ethan for clarification. He shrugged.
“So Daisy would be?” I gently asked.
“My puppy, of course! My baby Daisy is an adorable little maltipugchipoo!”
“So, uhh, what did this werewolf want with Daisy?”
“I have no idea! She’s never done anything to harm anyone. This werewolf jerk came to the diner when I was on my morning shift and gave me this note.” Hannah handed me a crumpled up piece of paper.
“If you ever want to see Daisy again, bring your vampire friends to the werewolf camp in Millwood at 6:00 p.m. tonight,” I read out loud, fighting my way through numerous spelling mistakes and accommodating for the grammatical errors. “It’s signed Leif the Werewolf and is followed by a couple of post-scripts—PS: Daisy is your dog. PPS: Tonight, as in, the night of today.”
“Lief sure sounds like a bright guy,” Ethan said sarcastically. “I didn’t get a good glimpse of him when he was in the diner, but I drove Hannah home to check on Daisy and she really is gone.”
“He probably slipped in through Daisy’s doggy-door. She must’ve been so frightened!” Hannah cried.
Hunter turned to me. “So what do we do now?”
“Well, technically, you four are the official guardians of Angel Creek. I suppose that role also extends to the town’s furry creatures,” I mused aloud. ”Now, we head to Millwood and help Hannah get Daisy back.”
How tough could this mission really be? I thought. I was still in disbelief that a werewolf could be so malicious.
“Prepare for a fight, Werewolf Leif!” Seth shouted, jumping up and down excitedly.
“Not so fast!” I put out my hand to stop him. “We’re going to try to resolve this situation peacefully. I’m certain that this is all some big misunderstanding, and I’m really hoping to get us all there and back in one piece.”
“You’re no fun, Dawn!” Seth whined. “I want to show off my new super punch!”
“You mean the one you mastered in your video game?” Brooke teased.
“Please, like you’re any better, Miss I-Don’t-Wanna-Break-A-Nail?” Seth retorted.
Sensing that a fight was about to break out, I quickly ushered everyone into the cottage to gather supplies for our trip.
The distance to Millwood would have taken a strong vampire only an hour or so to run, but because we had two humans and some not-so-strong vampires in the group, we decided to pile into our cars for the two hour ride instead. I loaded Ethan’s pickup with weapons I hoped we would not need, and we set out on a race against the clock. It was already mid-afternoon and we had no time to spare if we were to make Leif’s deadline. I sped away in my convertible with Hannah, Sophie and Seth, while Ethan followed closely behind with Brooke and Hunter in his truck.
We reached our destination shortly before 6:00 p.m., barely giving us enough time to find the werewolf camp. The village of Millwood was small, only boasting a population of three hundred, but, unlike the town of Angel Creek, it spread over a wide area of land.
“Where is this werewolf camp?” Hannah asked anxiously, as we drove through the town.
