Chapter 6: How to Act Wolflike

Her grandfather entered the room and sat back down in his chair looking at him wearily like he did not want to give up his granddaughter to a werewolf, but he let out a heavy sigh. "Toby, I want to thank you for saving our grandchildren" Marty said before he looked him square in the eyes. "I want your word that you aren't going to hurt her. Listen to me! Don't be fooling around with her! I don't want her knocked up!"

Toby nodded slowly, and Sasha let out a soft contented sigh. "Winter won't be so cold with you around, won't it big guy?" she asked as she started scratching at his chest.

"Erm, I guess not. You don't like me just because I'm warm do you?" He said awkwardly.

"Hehe, I like you because you're different but being warm is just a bonus...and being a werewolf is just the cherry on top" she said before she started fidgeting with her fingers. "Cause you know? I'm really into the strange and supernatural. I'm really big on YouTube. You might have heard about the big Jersey Devil video a while back?" she said. He shook his head. "The Grass Man?" He shook his head again. "Moth man?"She asked, which he shook his head again, and she sighed feeling her sense of stardom deflated. "They're all taken off...the only thing that get left on is my darn ghost hunting videos"

"You do realize it probably not a good idea to be posting those videos on YouTube. I don't want you taking videos of the werewolves around here either" Her grandfather advised her.

"Why's that?" Sasha asked.

"Because hunters will come into town and murder people" Toby said.

"That's why your videos keep getting taken down...to protect Supernatural creatures" Her grandfather added.

"Well, what if I show how normal one can be and reveal it later? Would that work?" She asked.

"I'm sorry Sasha. There are a lot of crazy people out there...it's best not to expose them to the world, but you can enjoy him for yourself" her grandfather finished.

Sasha let out a heavy sigh of defeat looked at the floor dejected. "I guess...but I just wanted to show how amazing they are...not vilify them" she said before she gasped realizing something. "Oh no! Meghan! She was filming the attack!" she shouted.

"Don't worry about it, it'll get taken down" Her grandfather said.

Toby scowled at him. "Really? You do realize that once it's posted on YouTube, someone is going to upload it into the Dark web. It will stay there until this world is devoured by the sun, or even longer"

Her grandfather went quiet and glared at him. "Toby...why did you have to tell her any of that?"

Toby glared at him back. "Because the Dark web is the reason why they came to murder my family. Your guys told us that you deleted the post and it was already posted onto that Hunter's website"

"No! SAD told you all that it was deleted. SAM told you all to be prepared because it was taking them longer than expected to DDoS attack the host's server. If it weren't for us, your family would be dead!"

Sasha stiffened up uncomfortably as the tensions between her grandfather and Toby mounted, but her grandmother stepped in with a tray of leftovers setting it on the coffee table. "Toby...everything is going to be alright. Don't stress out about this" she said calmly.

Sasha's grandfather reached over for his Cookie Monster landline telephone dialing in the numbers on the chocolate chips. The he put one eyeball up to his ear and the other near his mouth. "Klondike Bar..." he said lowly. Sasha looked at him like he had went insane whispering the name of an Ice cream sandwich into a Muppet phone. There was a brief pause before he pulled out a notepad and pen. "I need you to relay this straight to Mississauga. I need clean up job on YouTube" he said before he looked over at Toby. "Can you please write down their usernames?" He asked while handing over the pen and notepad.

Toby started writing down the usernames and handed them over before there was a knock at the door. Sasha's grandmother slid the tray closer to Toby encouraging him to eat, while she answered the door. Sasha looked over the couch seeing a tall figure, which to her amazement, her grandmother called him out by name. "Steele, won't you come in" she said with a friendly smile.

He padded in and stood over all of them listening in on the conversation. "Yes! I'm aware of the reports. The alpha has captured the thrall an hour ago. He's right here if you want to speak with him...no not the Thrall. It's a full moon out tonight remember? Of course he can speak! What is this your first day on the job?" Her grandfather spouted. There was a long pause before he laughed. "Oh, I'm sorry. That's okay then. You're probably just as shocked as I was when I first found out"

Steele walked around the couches and stood beside him. Her grandfather handed him the phone, and he held it up to his ear. "Guten Tag" he said in a very friendly tone. Well it was as friendly as it could get with a voice changed at much as it was. "Huh? Oh no, we had a teenage romance get a little too wild, and one got turned into a werewolf...No, we would have intervened had the thrall told her sire that she was experiencing changes" He said before he growled lowly. "Your job is not to decide who's at fault! I don't teach my kids to discriminate. They date whoever they are attracted to sir!" He said before he glanced towards Toby. "Again, that's not your job. What you're doing right now is why none of the wolves what to work with any of you. All your concerned about is having more paperwork. You don't care about your service to your constituents"

Sasha's grandfather took the phone from him and cleared his throat. "Just keep in mind. A lot of these wolves are more than a hundred years old. Most of which were born in HBC lands, and by extension they are British and/or Canadian citizens. SAM still has jurisdiction here regardless if this is American soil or not. The elder here was the former chief factor for HBC. The wolfman you were just speaking to is a former agent for SAM. How can you speak to him like that!?" he shouted.

Toby finished the leftovers, and Steele looked at them sternly. "Head back home. It's a school night" he told his son before Sasha let out a little whine in protest. Steele shook his head and laughed. "You'll get to see him tomorrow, don't you fret" he told her.

Her grandmother looked towards her smiling with amusement. "You go to bed too Sasha...you can't sleep with him. Silly" she teased.

Sasha blushed and shook her head. "I wasn't gunna...no...he's just really warm and cuddly" she said again.

"Makita looks jealous. Maybe you should cuddle her?"

"But, he's different...he's not a dog"

Toby scowled at her not sure what all that petting and scratching from her was if she did not think of him as a dog. "Is this how you treat all your boyfriends?" he asked.

Sasha shook her head looking at him strangely. "What do you mean? You're like my first one" she said meekly.

Toby did not know what to say then he looked towards her grandmother looking at him intensely daring him to say something stupid to her granddaughter. Toby instantly lost everything that he had to say, and he looked back at Sasha surprised. "Oh...seriously? You didn't have one in middle school?"

Sasha shook her head. "N-no...you're the first one to like me back and was a nice guy" she said before she put her hand up to her chest and frowned anxiously. "Do you not like the way you're being treated?"

Toby inhaled and his eyes grew wide hearing her heart about ready to break at any moment. "Uh, I-I-I don't have a problem with what you're doing...it's just that" he said before looked towards her grandmother and whimpered feeling as if he had backed himself into a corner on this one. "I don't know if I'm supposed to like it" he muttered nervously.

His father stared at him. "Well of course you're supposed to like it" he scoffed at Toby.

Toby stood up and put his mask on, but Sasha could tell he was uncomfortable. He took off out the door, and she felt bad for him. "Is it me? Did I offend him?"

"Don't take it to heart. These are tough years for a pup, and there's someone in his family who is telling him that he's becoming a monster. Even though you haven't done anything in mind, just keep that in mind. I'd rather have a human like you who accepts him and his changes because without you or your grandparents, he will continue to repress himself. At that point, the damage will be irreversible" Steele told her.

"How terrible! Who would say such a hideous thing to him?" Her grandmother asked.

"That would be the same person who told Lilian that she shouldn't be fucking dogs and she said it loud enough for me to hear her" he said.

"Oh, dear...Now I'm not as surprised then, but still, I can't believe she would say such things. Honestly, why does she not see that your condition gives you an edge on providing for your family?"

"Well, she came from an aristocratic family in Busan. She's lived a comfortable life, so even though I'm an Alpha. She views the werewolf lifestyle as a regression and unsophisticated. She thinks the only reason why I was allowed to marry Lilian was because I saved her father from a climbing accident on Mt. Rainier. In fact her father even hid it from her until after I got Lilian pregnant" he said.

"That's amazing...what does the rest of her family members think?" Her grandmother asked.

"Eh...They see my mansion and where I live. They speak to Lilian a lot online...they even vacation in my home" He said.

"Wait, so do they know about you being...a werewolf?" Sasha asked.

Steele snickered. "The ones who stay at my place do, but they don't tell everyone. Oddly enough, they are the ones who keep coming back" he said before he looked over at her grandfather and sighed. "Well, if we are done here, I'm going to have to go back home and make a few phone calls myself. My wife must be itching for me to come" he said as he backed up to the door. Her grandfather waved him off, and Steele put his mask on. "It's nice meeting you, Sasha" he said before he too left the house.

Once he left, Sasha let out a loud squeal. "I can't believe Toby's dad is the Alpha!" she shouted.

"Hey! I'm on the phone!" Her grandfather shouted.

"Go on to bed dear, we can talk about this later" Her grandmother said trying to usher her out of the room.

Todd was near the stairs waiting for his sister to come up stairs. She reached him and looked down at him looking up at her worried. She smiled at him ruffling his head. "You see...I told you they would protect us" she said smugly.

"We almost died" He retorted.

"How was I supposed to know that someone was going to tie me up to a tree?"

"They left you and that other guy for dead Sasha, and what about him? Isn't he going to turn into a werewolf?" he asked.

An evil idea popped up in her head, and she smirked. "Yes...I think so, but...I'm going to get back at them" she said.

Todd looked at her strangely. "Wait...what are you going to do?"

"Heh, heh! I'm going to make them think that I got turned into a werewolf"

"You're nuts! Sasha!"

The next day, Sasha walked in wearing a huge dressing patch over her neck with a large red stain, and several Band-Aids of varying sizes covering her body in random spots. Meghan and her brother sat at the table horrified, and Mrs. Beowolf ran up to her in a panic. "Oh no! Sasha! What happened to you!?" she shouted before she sniffed her. "Are you...wearing ketchup?" she whispered.

"You know about what happened last night?" Sasha whispered back.

Her teacher nodded. "Yea...Mrs. Wolfgang told me, but I thought you came out alright"

"I did...but I'm getting back at the Dark crew" Sasha said lowly. She walked over to her table, but she made sure to look at Meghan and her brother to see if they were watching her. She sat next to Toby and leaned up against him closing her eyes. "I didn't sleep well last night" She said as she turned and reached up to pet his chest.

Toby looked at her strangely and moved his shoulder feeling the weight of her head pressed up against it. "Did she just fall asleep?"

"Heh heh...I think she missed you last night?" Zoe teased.

He scowled at her. "What do you mean? It hasn't even been twelve hours yet"

"I know...looks like she feels like she hasn't seen you in a week" she remarked.

"Is this normal? She's out like a rock" He muttered moving his arm once more.

"Feh, this is what having a girlfriend is all about Toby. It starts with her using you as a pillow, then she's going to steal your clothes and call you pet names. Ick" Zoe stated.

"Pet names?" He asked.

"Yea, knowing her type, she's going to call you big bad thinking she's very clever. Tch, that's what my mom calls my dad"

"Yea, my mom calls my dad that too" Toby said.

"Mmmm...my big bad" Sasha muttered while rubbing his chest. Toby flinched, and Sasha lifted her head smiling at him before she stuck her tongue out at him. "I'm going to do all those things, and even make you hold my hand and go out on dates!" She said sounding like and obsessed fanatic.

"Oh, gez!" He muttered.

"Ahem! Find yourself a new mate there Toby?" Mrs. Beowolf asked.

Toby blushed and Sasha looked back at her gleefully. "Oh yes! It's because of Toby that I'm alive" she said before she looked back at him. "He's a good boy"

"Can you please try to keep the PDA to a minimum Sasha? You're making some of the students uncomfortable" Mrs. Beowolf said nervously.

"PDA?" Sasha asked in confusion.

"Public Display of Affection" Mrs. Beowolf explained.

Sasha looked around at the students staring at her, and she blushed. "Oh okay...I'll try to tone it down" Sasha said awkwardly before she got off Toby. She buried her nose into her book trying to hide from the other students.

Zoe laughed at her smirking mischievously. "Wow, get a room you two"

Sasha glared over at her and pouted. "Aren't you're still supposed to be mad at me taking Toby away from you?"

She rolled her eyes at her. "Psh, naw...I found someone else. He's not as big as Toby, but he'll do for now" she muttered before she grinned at her. "Looks like you're going to have to be the one to milk him now cow girl"

Sasha whined, and Toby glared at Zoe annoyed. "I can milk myself thank you" he grumbled lowly.

"Oh please, it's not the same, and you know it. Don't tell me it feels the same, either" Zoe spouted back.

"Zoe, you're not in a position to be giving relationship advice" Mrs. Beowolf said before she placed her hands on the table and leaned in. "Just do what you feel is right. Don't rush things. There are a lot of things you need to learn about him and our world before you jump straight into it"

Sasha frowned looking up at her discouraged. "What do you mean?"

Mrs. Beowolf sighed taken back to her nostalgic youth. "Ah, young love..." she muttered. She touched Sasha shoulder and giggled. "Just stick with cuddling and going out on dates for now before you start exchanging body fluids"

"Like kissing?" Sasha whispered back.

"Um...I think the school Nurse can explain it better than I can...I just don't want you getting turned into a werewolf and then have things not work out afterwards"

"Oh...you mean he can turn me into one even while not being transformed?" Sasha asked.

"Just speak with the nurse. Class is about to start" Mrs. Beowolf said before she turn to the 6th-8thgrade students. "Good morning class" she said sounding more tired from her uppity self the day before. Sasha could only assume that the full moon had kept her up all night unaware of what fully goes on for females during a typical full moon.

Later that day during lunch, Toby and Zoe went absolutely overboard with their meals. She was caught off guard with just how much food he was able to binge on. "Holy cow Toby...you really must have been starving yourself. What is this like triple the amount of food would brought yesterday?" she asked as she munched on her celery.

"It's actually Quadruple the amount. We did just go through a full moon after all" Zoe mentioned.

"My parents threatened to put a feeding tube in me if I didn't eat" Toby said plainly.

"Well I'm glad you're eating Toby. I don't want a scrawny underweight wolf for a boyfriend" Sasha said poking him in the belly playfully. She looked up at him smiling. "I saw what your dad looks like. I know just how huge you're going to get" she told him with an intense stare. "And just so you know...I'm a lot like Zoe. I like big boys" she said.

Zoe shot juice out of her nose and started coughing and laughing all at once. "The hell? Did you really have to announce that while we're eating?"

"Well I thought that Toby could use a little confidence booster...that's all" Sasha said as she made two fingers walk over Toby's chest.

"No really...now you're making me uncomfortable" Toby said awkwardly watching her fingers closely.

"Ahem! Sasha that's probably not the wisest thing to do right now" Mrs. Beowolf said from her desk while eating an unspecified hunk of meat.

Sasha instantly retracted her hand from him and sucked her lips in. "Oops, I forgot" she said before she stuck her tongue out at him. "Hey, how come you didn't growl at me? You really like me enough to touch you while you're eating?"

"I don't know. Why don't you put those fingers of yours closer to his food and find out?" Zoe said sarcastically.

Sasha scowled at her and defiantly slapped her left hand on the table watching Zoe shocked expression. Toby looked over at her hand and instinctively put his arm in the way and slid his food across the table away from her. Sasha was too busy proving her point to notice that Toby already moved his food and eating his meal seated on the floor when she moved her hand across the table.

Zoe tried to hold back her laughter, and she cracked making a face, which Sasha stared at her dumbfounded. She stretched her hand as far as she could reach feeling the smooth empty surface, and Zoe snickered before she burst out laughing when Sasha looked over at Toby. Sasha huffed offended and pursed her lips. "Why are you eating on the floor? Do you really think I was going to touch your food?"

Toby kept eating, and Zoe gave Sasha a smug triumphant look. "Hey, you're right...he didn't growl at you at least" she said before tearing into a drumstick from the cooked whole chicken.

Sasha glared at her, but she then smirked. "I know I'm right...Toby wouldn't hurt his girlfriend"

Mrs. Beowolf watched on unamused with them, but she sighed heavily. "Toby sweetie, can you get up off the floor...you're going to get grease all over. I don't want any more bees attracted to my classroom" she spoke softly.

"Bees?" Sasha muttered.

Toby continued to munch away apathetic to his teacher's concerns. "It's almost winter. The wasps are gunna die anyway" Toby said before Mrs. Beowolf stood up out of her chair, and Toby stood up real quick sitting back into his chair.

"Thank you..." Mrs. Beowolf said as she sat back down in her chair before she glanced at Sasha. "And Sasha? Can you please stop teasing Toby" She asked politely. She let out a deep heavy sigh of relief seeing that Toby was a lot more docile than Zoe was concerning Sasha's little stunt.

Towards the end of lunch, Meghan and her brother approached Sasha's table, and they completely ignored Zoe and Toby staring her down. "Sasha? What happened last night? Was that a real werewolf?" Meghan asked.

Sasha looked up at them confused almost forgetting about being covered in bandages before she took a moment to word her next response. "What happened to your friend who tried to grope my boob?" she asked.

"He what!?" Toby raised his voice with a growl.

Meghan and her brother were quiet. "He's missing. We found all the blood. There were no drag marks, no body...nothing. We looked all over for him, and some German dude in a mask told us that we were lucky to be alive" she said.

Sasha reached up for the patch on her neck. "I can't believe you left me tied to that tree! Some friend you are"

Meghan and her brother looked down at the floor in shame. "We got scared...that thing was so fast and strong" Meghan's brother mumbled.

"So it really was a werewolf?" Meghan asked.

Zoe grinned evilly finding a perfect opportunity for some fun. "Well, there's only one way to find out" she said before she reached over and yanked off the bandage revealing undamaged skin. "Oh my...looks like her wounds have already healed. Watch out now, she's already infected. It's only a matter of time before the wolf inside her corrupts her mind!" she said dramatically.

Meghan and her brother were horrified, and Sasha peeled back another Band-Aid. They looked at each other and then they looked at Zoe. "Is there a cure?"

"Is there a cure for herpes or HIV? She's going to have to live with this for the rest of her life thanks to you" Zoe said coldly.

"Thanks to us? You're the one who attacked us! Shouldn't you be locked up in a cage!?" Meghan shouted.

Zoe crossed her arms over her chest and huffed. "Oh please...I was over at Toby's house. You can even ask his mom about that. I don't know what you're talking about"

"But I heard Sasha shout out your name!" Meghan added.

"Look, I was wrong...that werewolf had boobs. Zoe doesn't have any" Sasha said quickly.

Zoe scowled at her, but for once, she was grateful for being flat chested in this case. "Yea, but if you see a werewolf with monster tits, you'll know who it is" she said quickly.

Meghan and her brother took a couple steps back horrified for what they have done. "What are we going to do? I don't want people knowing we got someone turned someone into a werewolf!" Meghan shouted. The students all looked up at them confused, but some were amused with the drama.

"Wrong! Two people got turned into werewolves because of you" Toby corrected them.

"Oh crap! He's right! You never found Levi's body did you?" Zoe added.

"Oh fuck! Oh jez!" Meghan's brother shouted having a meltdown in the classroom. He looked around frantically seeing everyone was staring at him. Meghan started crying, and Mrs. Beowolf stood up out of her chair and smiled.

"Okay class! Time for recess!" She announced.

All the students left asides from the ninth grade table and their teacher. "Okay, you're going to have to break it to them that you're messing around with them. You've already got them in tears. I think this has gone far enough" she lectured them.

"I'll stop it once all of the Dark Crew has been taught a lesson" Sasha said as they all started walking out the class together.

Zoe smiled evilly. "I'm beginning to like your style Sasha" she said.

"Just look at it this way...those kids all needed counseling before they even tied my girlfriend up to a tree. You can't get any more broken than broke" Toby added.

"Besides that, I have a way to counter that video they posted of the attack last night. I'm just going to need you to teach me how to act like a wolf" Sasha asked.

"Sasha, please end this charade. I'm asking you nicely" Mrs. Beowolf said before she advanced ahead of them.

Zoe immediately hooked her arm around Sasha's shoulder and beamed with pride. "So, you want to know how to be like one of us, huh?" she asked. Sasha nodded quickly before Zoe pointed up at Toby. "First off...the most sensual thing you can do for your wolfman involves the neck area. Just go up to your boyfriend and give him a good nom on the neck. Don't be shy to leave your mark on him either. Let everyone know that he's yours"

Toby stared at them in horror. "Uh...Sasha...do you remember anything about Mrs. Beowolf telling you not to take relationship advice from Zoe" he muttered.

Sasha giggled at him. "I do...but this it wolf advice" she said before she pulled her phone out from her cleavage. "Here...I want you to record me chasing Toby and attacking him with love" she said heading it over to her.

"Heh, Gladly!" Zoe said.

"Please don't!" Toby said backing up nervously.

"Oh, and Sasha? Be sure to growl and dig your claws into his back and chest! Get him to dominate you!" Zoe said.

"Seriously stop! Why am I the one to get attacked?" Toby asked, but by then, Zoe was already recording him.

"Because you're the boyfriend! Stop being stupid and start running! You're ruining this!" Zoe said behind camera.

"Come here lover boy! I'm going to love you to bits!" Sasha shouted doing her best to imitate a werewolf voice. It comes off as a cute feminine raspy but humanly overdramatic funny voice. She took off after him, and he started running much too fast for her to catch him. She wanted to run faster, but her sloshing bouncing breasts threatened to fly out of her bra and her straps dug into her flesh. She pressed on and felt her fingers tingle and go numb.

She looked at her hands not noticing a fresh mole hill in front of her, and she tripped over it leaning face first into the grass getting a mouthful of clippings. For some strange reason, she swallowed the mouthful and coughed. She felt immense pain and gasped for breath. "Oh shit! Sasha!" Zoe shouted running to her side. She helped her up and brushed off the grass from her. "Maybe you're just not cut out for being a wolf"

"I feel sick..." Sasha muttered before she threw up a ball of cud into her mouth and started chewing. She swallowed it back down and clutched her stomach. "Something is wrong with me...I just threw up in my mouth" she shouted before she ran off into the building.

She rushed over to the nurse's office only to find a different woman inside tidying up the room. She looked similar to Zoe only shorter and more petite. "W-w-where's Mrs. Wolfgang!?" she shouted having a panic attack.

The nurse looked up from her desk and frowned. "Oh, she's on maternity leave. My name is Haley, I'm Zoe's sister. I will be filling in for Lilian for a couple months. Why? What's up?" She asked plopping down onto her chair.

"I tripped and fell down hard out in the field. I'm cramping and throwing up in my mouth...what's happening to me?" Sasha shouted hysterically.

Haley raised an eyebrow sliding gloves on and grabbed a wooden tongue depressor and a stethoscope. "Let me take a look" she said before she put the cold diaphragm up against a specific spot under Sasha's ribcage. "Open up" she said.

Sasha opened her mouth and regurgitated up another ball of cud. Haley pulled out the blackened ball and looked at it. "You swallowed grass didn't you?" she asked. Sasha nodded slowly before Haley stuffed the cud back into Sasha's mouth. "You'll be fine" she finished.

Sasha pulled the cud back out and stared at it. "What is this stuff!? Why did you put this back in my mouth?" she shrieked.

"Don't you know what cud is?" Haley asked perplexed.

"Cud!? What are you talking about!?"

Haley slid over to a file cabinet and pulled out the drawer. "I'm going to send you home early. It's better for your parents to tell you what's happening with your body" she said before she looked back at Sasha's horrified expression.

"What do you mean what's happening with my body?"

Haley sighed heavily. "I'm going to tell you this straight up, but this school isn't for ordinary humans. All the students you see here has some sort of metaphysical condition, some dormant, and some active. We keep a special eye on a student's volatile years...when your condition is primed to awaken. Some do, though most don't, but for you, yours is most definitely beginning to awaken"

"What is this some sort of Ghoul School!?" Sasha shouted.

"Eh, kinda...kinda not. We don't teach to scare. We teach how to live amongst humans. So you can say we're kinda an...anti-Ghoul School? You get what I mean?" she asked. She thumbed through the color coded files and looked at an index card reading off what each color meant. There were two files next to each other with the unique black dots on top of white out, and she pulled out both of them. One was her brothers, and the other was hers. Haley smiled and flipped to the back on the family history section. "Ah, found you" she said before she read through her file. "Huh...says here that the last time anyone's metamorphosed in your family was your Great-Grandmother...That's fantastic" she said sarcastically.

"Metamorphosed? What's happening? Am I turning into a butterfly? Is that why I've been getting fat!? Am I going to grow wings!?" Sasha asked.

Haley lifted the telephone and dialed the number in the file. She waited a moment before Sasha's grandmother answered. Haley glanced over at Sasha noticing two large bumps forming on her head, one on each side just over Sasha's ear. "Hello Mrs. Picard. I have your Granddaughter here and she's starting to go through the change. Do uh...you want me to break the news to her or would you like me to do it?"

Sasha's grandmother shouted with excitement, "Really? Tell her I'll be right there!"

"Alright, I'll keep her here until you get here...alright buh bye" She said before she hung up the phone. She immediately reached over for a beanie and handed it to her. "Here...you're going to need it"

Sasha felt her ears and they felt longer and stretched out. She immediately shoved her hat on and looked up at her mortified. "Did eating the grass do this to me?" she asked as she spit up more cud.

"The grass didn't trigger it, but it's accelerating it" Haley said.
