Rob sat in English class thinking. He stared ahead at the chalkboard, not really seeing it. This was one of his favorite classes because they were studying AP American Literature, and his favorite author, Edgar Allen Poe was the subject that they talked about today in class. He looked at Brad, whos head was hanging off of his hand in his usuaul stupidor with his girlfriend, monica, asleep behind him. Looking up towards the front of the class sat Chester, his face rapt with an unusual attantion and his girlfriend Fox, playing with his tag from the collar of his shirt. This was the usuaul stupidor that wrapped the class being it was the last and longest period of the day. Their batty old teacher, Mrs. Schwaritskie started drawing on the board. Infront of him, Mike stifeled a s******.
"come on class, you gotta wake up and pay attention. The bus is still rolling!"
The frizzy haired teacher said trying desperatly to capture her classes attention. Rob groaned at the metaphor of the classroom being a bus. Rob rolled his eyes as Joe raised his hand with a smirk on his face.
"Joe?"
"But mrs Schwaritskie, I dont ride the bus, I walk home."
The whole class giggeled at Joe's comment. Some people looked as if they wish they had the gall that Joe did to say something like that to their teacher.
"Well Mr. Hahn, I guess I'll be seeing you in detention tomorrow."
Joe groaned loudly with a theatrical jerk to make it look like he was being a ham. Rob sank back into his stupidor. The bell rang and the whole class ran out almost trampeling the teacher over.
"Oh Rob."
Brad and monica stood with him at his locker.
"Viktor came today to deliver a message."
A shiver ran up Rob's spine. The only time that Viktor got himself involved with the pack's affairs was if something was truly screwed up.
"What is it?"
Rob said, swallowing hard. Viktor was the one that started the infection in the US. He was personally incharge of Rob's pack, they were his hand picked wolves. But viktor was only a few years older then rob, Viktor was about 19, 20 ish.
"He said that tonight at midnight, the whole pack is to meet at the hunting grounds for a meeting. Including Ken."
"are any of us in trouble?"
Rob asked hoping that he wouldnt get his *** kicked a second time.
"He didnt say."
Rob hitched his messanger bag up on his shoulder and went off to find Ken.
Rob helped ken over fallen logs and branches as they went through the woods quietly. A soft glow emited from a cave up on the side of a cliff. Rob pointed it out to Ken.
"Its just a little further."
they climbed up over a large rock.
"So who is this Viktor character?"
"He is the one responsible for the werewolf population in the US. He's super young only twenty I think, and he's personally in charge of our pack. Even though Dave's the alpha male, he has to answer to Viktor. When it comes to this pack, he decides whos in it and who's not. He always has some sort of hand in who becomes a werewolf. I wouldnt be suprised if he didnt tell Mike he wanted you in our pack."
Rob pulled her up onto the ledge and they walked into the fire lit cave. Brad greeted the two.
"Now we just have to wait."
"Vell now your vaiting is over."
They turned to see a guy with buzzed dark hair and a dark gotee to match step into the cave. He wore a long black overcoat with no shirt underneeth and black pants. His nose looked like it had been smashed in a few too many times. He bowed at Ken.
"I see our new recruit has arrived. Now to business."
They all sat down on the fur pelts around the fire. Viktor looked in the eyes of everyone with an intemidating glance. His accent echoed off of the cave walls.
"First off, I vould like to velcome our newest wolf to our pack. Step forward to recieve the mark of our clan."
Ken stood up trembeling. Viktor dipped his thumb in a frosty blue paint and put a crescant moon marking on her forehead.
"You, Kenji Shinoda, haff been chosen to become one of the elite wolves of this country, hand picked by me, Viktor Kyola. Bear this mark vith pride."
Ken sat back down beside rob. Viktor spoke once more.
"Now Dave and Rob. Rob, you haff made a dominance challange against Dave. First off, Dave, if anyone has a right to Rob's mate, that vould be me. You overstepped your place as the alpha male, you are here by demoted. Rob, you haff shown courage to stand up for vhat is yours alone. So now I am raising your rank to the beta wolf. I vill be taking over this pack in full alpha male responsibility to prevent any more screw ups amongst my elite wolves."
Rob's jaw dropped. him, beta wolf? was viktor out of his mind? Rob thought. In rob's mind, he was still a newbie since he was only close to a month old at the werewolf thing. **** he couldnt even figure out how to deal with susan let alone the whole pack. That would also make Ken the beta female and she was still two days in to being used to her new found abilities. Viktor has to have something up his sleeve, Rob thought. He had faith in viktor and his leadership abilities. something had to be up.
"come on class, you gotta wake up and pay attention. The bus is still rolling!"
The frizzy haired teacher said trying desperatly to capture her classes attention. Rob groaned at the metaphor of the classroom being a bus. Rob rolled his eyes as Joe raised his hand with a smirk on his face.

I got Viktor from Underworld, personally, even though he's a vampire elder *grins* Sorry, Underworld on the brain lately.
As for the update - awesome as always. Blue cresent moon mark for a warewaolf I found interesting. Usually that would typify somekind of female archetype, so maybe I'm jumping the gun a little but could Viktor be paving the way for Ken to take over the pack above the others/be his mate? Hmm, Rob and Viktor battling for Ken's affections... that'd be a fight to the death! *shivers in anticipation* But I'm just over-analysing again. Sorry, pagan roots showing through.
Anyway, great great great! Can't wait for more. More soon?
<3 it. Rav

Ken shuddered as Viktors dark brown eyes stared intensly at her. She had seen those eyes somewhere before.
"Now as is the custom that vhen ve gather, ve hunt. Since it is also a new moon, ve vill have the hunt tonight. Now ve must move."
Viktor discarded his jacket as the rest of the guys pulled their shirts and shoes off. There was a loud howl as viktor started his transformation first with rob following. Ken stared in awe as she looked at teh snow white wolf that was where Viktor stood. Ken started her transformation, the pain fresh and new. It still hurt just as much as it did the first time, but now, she was ready for it. Once the change was compleat, she streatched her claws and shook her self off, sending silver grey fur everywhere. Rob nudged her with his muzzle and used his wet pink tounge to lick her cheek. His brown eyes seemed to smile at her. Viktor raised his head and let out a blood curling howl. Ken and Rob raised their heads and joined his howl. The seven wolves lept from the cave that was set high above on the cliff. They took off running. New scents bombarded Ken's nose. Each of the wolves had their own unique scent and then she could smell the blood of the other animals in the forrest. Then, Viktor spotted their prey. Tall, standing at about 6'7", was a hunter. he held his rifel **** tight in his shoulder as he scanned the brush for any sight of deer. Viktor turned his head and the group disbanded, surrounding the hunter with a circular perimiter. The man turned around as he saw a fleeting image of white. The man was afraid, Ken's nose quivered, he stank of fear. He wildly fired off a shot about a good ten feet from where rob was. Then they attacked. Seven werewolves took down the man with out much of a fight. Crimson blood speckeled her silver fur. With one last howl from Viktor, the pack was dismissed.
Mike waited paitently for Ken to return home. Rob had said something about Viktor. Mike knew viktor very well. Mike may have been in charge of the clan, Chester, fox, Brad, Monica, Joe, Karen, Dave, lindsey, Rob, Kelly, and now Ken, but Viktor was the werewolf of legend. Mike had also worked closely with Viktor when it came to the clan as well. Viktor picked all of the vampires and werewolves. If something went wrong, Mike would have to answer to Viktor, something that Mike hoped would never happen. Mike stared at the wall oppasite of his bed. It had a picture of him and Ken from when they were little, before they were split up. Mike missed his sister. He missed being able to protect her. Now despite all of the responsibilities, he would live up to being her older brother, even if it was by three minutes. He liked his lips to get the last bit of dried blood off of them if there was any left. It was his rule that they never killed children or people with innocents, only those who were murderers, rapist, hookers and whores. That ment there was plenty of prey down town LA. He gave a slight chuckle at what Fox had said that night. Something along the lines of, 'I love the way he seduces his victims before he kills them.' Mike rolled his eyes. They're relationship was one of genuine love and honesty, not like his and kelly's. Theirs was mainly for ceremonial reasons, vampires are not allowed to go mateless if they are heads of their clans. The bedroom door opened and closed. Mike picked his head up. It was ken. She looked close to tears. Mike lept up and went over to her.
"Ken what's wrong?"
"Mike, I killed someone."
Mike nodded, It was her first human kill.
"I didnt want to do it mike, but I couldnt control myself. I'm scared."
Mike hugged ken. She started crying.
"I'm a monster mike."
"No you arnt."
Mike said trying to calm her down.
"People like Dave are monsters, people who have absolute control of it. But we need to kill to survive. That's just a part of life. That dosent make us monsters, that makes us like every other creature out there. A real wolf and bat has to kill to survive. They're not monsters and youre not either. Your a normal person, you just have a furry little problem."
Mike said making Ken laugh a little. Mike then smiled at his sisters laugh. He hadn't heard it in a long time. not since that day.
"Mike, do you think that we can ever be truly normal?"
Mike shook his head.
"Normal? our family knows nothing about normal. Jason has ADHD, my dad's like obsessive compulsive and mom? dont get me started on her. the only normal person in this house is our puppy and hes not even toilet trained."
Mike muttered as he shook his head again.
"Now as is the custom that vhen ve gather, ve hunt. Since it is also a new moon, ve vill have the hunt tonight. Now ve must move."

That was so sweet! I can see this developing in front of me and the more you write the more coherant and stronger it becomes! Npt much more I can say, only that I love it. It's progressing well, character development is good, and the detail is clear and sets the scene well.
*squeeze hugs*
Can't wait for more... to see what comes of this.
And yes, the puppy part was cute. *wink* Made me think that Ken above all others would probably be able to 'communicate' to the pup better than anyone (instinctively may see Rob/Dave/Viktor as threats being male) - maybe even sort of good training of sorts, for one day isf/when she has 'pups' of her own? XD
Thanks,

They were amazed to see Viktor in their first period math class. His eyes flashed a warning look for them not to approach him. Rob sat down in his seat in the last row right infront of Ken. once the class had started, their teacher pointed to teh seat beside Ken and that's where Viktor would sit. Ken had her algebra 2 book open trying to figure out the quadratic functions with imaginary numbers.
"What are you doing here Viktor?"
"Vell, I'm keeping an eye on my pack. Someone vill haff to since they act like spoiled puppies."
The talked, their voices so low you could barely call it a whisper.
"Rob, ve are meeting again tonight. I vant you and Ken to be there, it vill just be us three. I am thinking that ve need some private training."
Rob noticed the wolf like twinkle in his eyes. Rob could feel something in the pit of his stomache. Something was up and he wasnt gonna like it, not at all.
"I'll be there. So will Ken."
Rob promised. Ken quivered in her seat. the two males raised an eyebrow.
"Vhat is wrong?"
"I feel like someone's watching. but its not a good something."
"Can you hear anything?"
Ken strained her ears over the breathing and the heart beats to hear the rusteling of the leaves outside in the tree that was by the window. Her nose picked up a scent, strange and unfamiliar to the usuaul scents of school life.
"It was another wolf, not dave or one of the girls. this one smelled like pine, sea air and dogwood."
Viktor frowned.
"It might be one of the southern wolves."
Rob said trying to help. Viktor took in a deep wiff of the air.
"I smell it as vell. its not one of the more familiar scents of the Americain tribes."
He said softly. the three exchanged dark looks.
"Hey mike, what's with you? You look all down about things."
Chester said as he slapped the younger male on the back. Mike shook his head as he then turned his attention to his drawing.
"Its nothing, I just....."
Mike trailed off as he set his charcoal down. Chester raised his eyebrows.
"Just what? You know I'm not gonna leave you alone untill you spill."
"Well I remember when I was younger about maybe ten, my mom got a letter in the mail about my sister. Remember me telling you that she was knocked into a coma when we were nine? She woke up not knowing who she was or that I was her brother and that was when we sent her to live with my aunt and uncle in melbourne, but we also got another letter. One from viktor."
"Viktor, that werewolf guy?"
"Yeah. well you see, werewolves age alot slower then normal mortals and even vampires even if neither species dies. you know dog years type of thing i guess, but by the time he picked who he wanted as his mate, she was already gone."
"So he dissapeared. That was why he left you incharge of our family for so long when you were so young."
Chester said as the dawn of realization crossed his face.
"But that would break rob's heart."
Mike nodded at chesters comment. The last thing he wanted to do was have to throw his sister into another terrible choice between someone who had power and could give her anything or someone who first helped her through her problem with constant dedication.
"I know but there isnt anything we can do about it."
Mike said keeping his voice at a whisper. He looked back at the drawing he was trying to embellish but his attempts were a bit fruitless. his mind just wasnt in it today. Chester froze.
"Mike do you hear that?"
Mike strained his ears to listen.
"I hear it. what is that?"
"It isnt human thats for sure. we need to check it out."
Chester suggested. Mike nodded and chester raised his hand asking if he could take mike to the bathroom because he wasnt feeling well. The teacher let him go and Mike sent out a telepathic message to the rest of the vampires. They met behind the gym.
"ok guys theres something weird going on. we need to figure out what it is cuz it sure as **** aint human or vampire"
*ten minutes later*
"Did you find anything?"
Mike asked the Fox and Chester pair. They shook their heads. The other pair, Joe and Karen shook their heads as well. He and kelly didnt find anything either.
"Now go back to class slackers."
Mike said with a smile on his face. Chaz and Mike Returned to the art room to gather up their stuff before the bell rang. Mike frowned as he saw viktor and Rob walking with Ken. but this didnt have anything to do with the problem of viktor over rob, it was just his brotherly instinct.
"Hello Rob, viktor."
Viktor nodded, acknowledging Mike.
"Mike we smelled something last period, it was a werewolf but we dont know where its from."
Rob said softly.
"we heard it too. well we think that's what we heard. I'm not sure."
Chester said.
"What are you doing here Viktor?"
"Vell, I'm keeping an eye on my pack. Someone vill haff to since they act like spoiled puppies."
The talked, their voices so low you could barely call it a whisper.

Rob felt slightly intemidated about having viktor around all the time keeping watch. But he was even more worried about Ken. The past few days, she and Mike had been moping around. She wasnt that fun to be around, and she and mike kept dissapearing afterschool. Rob could sense something was wrong. Today, she didnt come to school and Mike wouldnt talk to anyone. Rob walked to mike's house while mike did a quick feeding with Chester and the others. They had a show they were doing tonight at the rainbow club and they didnt know how long it would be before they could feed. Rob knocked on the door. Ken opened it, her eyes red and puffy and she smelled like tears.
"Ken what's wrong?"
Ken collapsed into his arms and started crying. Rob was shocked. He just stood there rooted to the spot, with ken in his arms.
"my friend.... Tom...he died from a drug overdose."
"one of your aussie friends?"
"yes"
She sobbed into his shirt. Rob felt relieved that it was something else and she wasnt sick or anything.
"I'm sorry about your friend."
Rob said not knowing exactly what to say.
"I just feel like I could have done something. that his suicide was my fault."
Ken sobbed. Rob continued to hug her.
"I know this probably isnt going to help you but you have to stay strong for Mike and for tom. It could have been worse. You could have died. But just promise me that you wont do anything stupid. You have to stay strong."
He said as he took her face in his hands. He brushed some stray tears away.
"Why dont you go get cleaned up and you can come with me to open mic night. It'll get better I promise."
She nodded and went to wash her face. Rob smiled at her as he walked with her to Brad's house. Rob told brad what had happened and to Ken's suprise, Brad knew Tom as well.
"I knew him because before Rob joined our pack, Tom was in it. But I dont get it. why did he do it?"
Ken shrugged her shoulders.
"I dont know either I still havent figured it out."
"Well Viktor will hold a ceremony for him."
Brad said as he hugged her. They all got into brad's truck and drove off to the club. Rob had a quick word with Mike who nodded and they went backstage for their warm-ups. Viktor was sitting in a large booth with Fox, Kelly, Karen, Monica, and Lindsey.
"Ken, did you know Tom?"
Viktor spoke in his slow bulgarian accent.
"Yes. I'm still in shock that he died."
Viktor gave her a comforting hug.
"I vill hold a service for him tomorrow at the new moon. Ve vill meet in the cave before hand. so our ceremonial paints can be vorn. many of the other tribe's wolves vill be comming."
She nodded as she watched the stage where it was apparent that Mike and his band were old hands at being on stage. Mike still looked like a cross between tired, beaten, lost and confused. He took the Mic in his hands.
"Before we get things started, I want to say that we're gonna start off with a new line up of songs different then what our normal line up is. Here's our first song that's a cover of a famous bands song. This song goes out to my friend tom and to my sister Kenji. Adam's song."
Ken was confused at what Mike said. They were cousins, not brother and sister.
"Ken what's wrong?"
Ken collapsed into his arms and started crying. Rob was shocked. He just stood there rooted to the spot, with ken in his arms.
"my friend.... Tom...he died from a drug overdose."
"one of your aussie friends?"
"yes"
She sobbed into his shirt. Rob felt relieved that it was something else and she wasnt sick or anything.
"I'm sorry about your friend."
Rob said not knowing exactly what to say.
"I just feel like I could have done something. that his suicide was my fault."
Ken sobbed. Rob continued to hug her.
"I know this probably isnt going to help you but you have to stay strong for Mike and for tom. It could have been worse. You could have died. But just promise me that you wont do anything stupid. You have to stay strong."
He said as he took her face in his hands. He brushed some stray tears away.
"Why dont you go get cleaned up and you can come with me to open mic night. It'll get better I promise."
She nodded and went to wash her face. Rob smiled at her as he walked with her to Brad's house. Rob told brad what had happened and to Ken's suprise, Brad knew Tom as well.
"I knew him because before Rob joined our pack, Tom was in it. But I dont get it. why did he do it?"
Ken shrugged her shoulders.
"I dont know either I still havent figured it out."
"Well Viktor will hold a ceremony for him."
Brad said as he hugged her. They all got into brad's truck and drove off to the club. Rob had a quick word with Mike who nodded and they went backstage for their warm-ups. Viktor was sitting in a large booth with Fox, Kelly, Karen, Monica, and Lindsey.

The ceremony for Tom sounds like a kind of closure for you, both as a character and as a RL person, so that's sweet - theraputic too. Writing can often help during low points in one's life. I'm not sure how he would have taken to being called a WW in RL but... *laughs* I'm sure he wouldn't have minded. Now he's kind of living on anyway in a very literal sense - and an ancient Egyptian one - that with his name and deeds being written down and spoken like this that he will indeed live on. I know it doesn't make the pain go away and nor should it, but hopefully pointing out to you that while it's great writing it's a great gesture too. Sorry for your loss.
But hey, this last sentence was very powerful too. Mike's little slip up there may have just cost him dearly... *shivers in anticipation* Can't wait for more, as usual. :thumbsup:

I have a copy of the book of the dead as well.
Ken waited for Mike backstage. Then there was the same scent that they had smelled at school. Her eyes were covered.
"Awww dude!"
A voice said. Ken smiled as she turned to see a guy close to her age. He had blond hair and brown eyes.
"CJ!"
She said happily. They hugged. It was good that he was here. Ken felt like things would be better now that another of her good friends was back.
"Something's different about you Ken, I dont know what it is..."
CJ said as he shoved his hands in the pockets of his Nightmare before christmas hoodie. Ken lowered her voice as she pulled CJ away from the crowd.
"You remember when you told me you were specail? I'm just like you now."
CJ smiled.
"Those were the best times ever!"
He said.
"What are you doing here?"
Ken asked. Her blond friend smiled.
"I'm here as the alpha male from the souther fire tribe. We got wind that Tom died. He was one of the elites he was."
CJ muttered as he gave his childhood friend a punch in the arm. She smiled at him as Viktor and Rob made their way over towards her.
"Who are you and vhat are you doing here?"
Viktor asked in his slow voice as he and rob drew themselves up, ready to beat the **** out of anyone trying to move in on their territory. CJ bowed.
"I'm CJ Timmons from the southern fire tribe. We got the message that Tom was dead and I am here as the alpha male to pay my respects."
Ken quickly stepped inbetween CJ and Rob.
"He's a friend of mine."
She said as she tried to protect him from Rob. Mike stepped outside for a breath of fresh air and hopes to find a hooker or some other unsuspecting prey.
"CJ!"
Mike said as he greeted the smaller male. CJ stood about an inch or two taller then Ken.
"Mike, its been too long."
CJ said as he gripped his other friends hand.
"You doin alright? How about your sister and mom?"
CJ shrugged and said nothing. He then turned to Rob and Viktor.
"Which one of you's viktor?"
He asked as he looked between the two other wolves.
"I am. Vhat is it?"
"I have a message to deliver from Cole of the northern air tribe. He said that his clan would try to make it."
Viktor nodded.
"Vell ve must start making preperation. Vill you join us CJ?"
CJ nodded as the other wolves began to gather. Brad and dave gave a low growl at CJ.
"Don't mess with him."
Rob said as CJ pulled the heart-o-gram beanie over his head. They moved out to the cave spot. Nodding as he looked around, CJ smiled at all the hunting trophies they had. Ken smiled and pointed out the mounted gun with the bright orange hat sitting on top of it.
"My first kill with the pack."
"You've grown up since I last saw you."
Ken didnt know wether to take this as a compliment or what.
"Thanks I think."
"Come on Ken you and I grew up together. You will always be a sister to me."
"Just like your almost my brother. Your the best friend ever!"
She said as she put her head on his shoulder.
"So is it you and the infamous Viktor or are you mated with his flunkie?"
"What do you mean?"
CJ shrugged.
"I just noticed the way the both of them almost jumped out of their skins to try to kill me for being near you."
He said simply. They walked out onto the cliff that jutted out of the side of the mountain. Ken sat down and kicked her feet out.
"I dont know CJ. I'm still new at this thing. I dont get it at all."
she said. CJ sat down beside her.
"Well I think that both the flunkie and Viktor have an eye for you. one day your gonna have to pick, break the precious flunkies heart, or break viktors heart. Either way its a loose loose situation. I wouldnt want to be in your shoes."
He said as he took a stone in his black gloved hand with the fingers cut off and hurled it as far and as hard as he could.
"I know there's another reason why you came out here."
Ken said. She could read CJ almost as well as Mike.
"I just got into a bit of trouble with my mate. She's a bit pissy about something. I know that you and mike are my family. Its like I'm just going home when I come here."
CJ sighed as his gaze turned up towards the moon. Ken looked at her watch, it was well after midnight.
"We should get going."
Mike met up with CJ and Ken as they made their way back to mikes house.
"Mike what were you talking about back up on stage? Your my cousin, not my twin."
Mike knew that it wouldnt be easy to explain.
"Look Ken, when we were younger, You were in an accident and you dont remember anything but Your my twin sister, just like CJ's our half brother."
"ok mike are you alright? you didnt drink anything you wernt suposed to did you?"
CJ put both of his hands on Ken's shoulders.
"Come on Ken, its true. We wouldnt lie about something like this."
He said as he was pushed away by a suprising amount of force from Ken. She shook her head and ran off. CJ made to go after her but mike put a hand on his shoulder, stopping him.
"Dont worry man, she'll come back."
"But i do worry about her."
CJ said. The two 17 yr olds made their way into the house. Mike didnt resent CJ in the least. They knew about their dad having an affair with CJ's mom, but they didnt say anything about it. They were brothers still, that was all that mattered.
Ken ran. She changed as she continued to sprint at her full speed. Her front paws hit the ground and her speed increased. She wanted to drain her body of every last ounce of energy.
