Chapter 1

Stephen looked himself over in the mirror of his bathroom, and wasn't impressed with what he saw. An Eighteen year old wolf with mosty black fur, except for the white patch that went from his chest down to his belt line and the five scars that ran the lenth of patch, he was about 6 '4 and very well built. He weighed about 205 and was mostly muscle. He wasnt overly good looking but wasnt ugly either. He sighed and put his hat on backwards over his long black bangs, which hung down in his eyes all the time, and walked out of the bathroom to his room. After shutting the door behind him he proceded to get dressed, although not bothering to put a shirt on. After all, they were in the middle of no where. After pulling on his boots, he opened his door and walked across the hall of his two bedroom house he shared with his best friend Kelly.

"Get up Kel," he called.

"Ughn," as usual, was the reply.

Kelly was a 5' 6" tall wolf who was solid white with a small black patch on her cheek. She stumbled out of her room to the shower. As she relaxed under the icy spray, her mind wondered back to the memories that haunted both her and Stephen.

Almost Sixteen years ago, both Stephen and Kelly's parents went out to spend a little time away from the struggles of parenthood. The four of them had been very good friends since childhood. They even had there kids in the same month. On their way to the local bar, the Thicket, something strange happened to their car and ran them straight off a bridge into the river. They never had a chance.

After that, Kelly's grandmother took them both in, beacuse Jack had no living relatives. Something they both shared now because her grandmother passed away just over a year ago. Kelly stepped out of the shower and dried off, not bothering to wrap a towel around herself, the house was empty so it didnt matter. And anyway, what did she want to hide from the only other occupant?

Stephen and Kelly had lived together for the most part of their lives and had seen each other naked before, but not since they were little. She walked to her room and closed the door to get dressed.

Stephen walked out into the cool daybreak air to his pride and joy. The dark blue 1964 Chevolet stepside was his only inheritence from his father. It sat in a barn until his fifteenth birthday and was a total wreck when he got it. Today though, it was completely restored and had gotten him several girls phone numbers at the Thicket, not that he ever called any of them up though, his love rested with someone else. The truck had also gotten a man killed there.

It was late one night about three years ago, it was Stephens turn to be the designated driver for Kelly. As he was pulling out of his parking spot a drunk bull stumbled out of the bar. He made his way over to the truck and busted the bottle of moonshine he had in his hand over the hood. As the home-made whiskey began eating the paint off the hood, Stephen pulled the switch blade out of his back pocket and stepped out of the truck, growling and trembling with years of bottled up fury. He had seen too many friends die at the Thicket to walk around unarmed. The drunk stumbled backwards as Stephen lunged with the knife, barely grazing his arm. As the knife passed over the bull's arm, Stephen slid out his claws and as he spun around, slid them across the drunk's throat, leaving four gashes. But some how the bull still had enough time to swipe up with the broken bottle, slicing Stephen's stomach open. Stephen spent well over a year in the hospital, and six months in (mental) therapy. Luckily, Stephen's father was once good friends with the Tunica county judge and everyone in the jury, so he was let off with out punishment... legal punishment anyway.

Kelly walked outside about twenty minutes later, shaking Stephen out of his memories. He turned and watched her walk towards him.

"Hey sleepy head, how nice of you to join me," Stephen said as she hugged him.

"Yeah yeah yeah, we can't all be perfect like you," she replied.

He flipped her the bird and turned back to his truck. After standing there for few minutes, she stepped forward and put her arms around his waist again, he put down his rachet and turned to her, a little confused, hardly daring to hope what he thought she was doing. She hugged him again, and looked into his blue eyes passionately. They moved simultaniously, leaning in to kiss. He had always had feelings for Kel but never thought she felt the same way. But he had always repressed those feelings, she was like his sister! He drew back and was about share his concerns with her to find she had turned away from him and was running back to the house in tears. Sighing, he closed the hood of his truck and walked back to the house. Kelly was in her room and the door was closed. He carefully walked up and put his ear near the crack in the door.

"God that was so stupid," he heard Kelly say furiously to herself through her tears. "He's never been interested in me! I dont know what i was thinking."

Stephen slowly opened the door without her noticing and stepped inside. She was laying on her bed on her stomach with back of her head facing the door. Jack crept up and gently started rubbing her back. She jumped and turned her head to look up at him. Her eyes were red from crying, "She still looks beautiful," Stephen thought.

"Stephen.." He put his finger to her muzzle shushing her.

"Its alright," Stephen said. "I feel the same way about you. I just couldnt get up the nerve to say anything. The reason I pulled back was.. Well... I dont guess there really was a reason... but if your good with this then so am I."

Kelly smiled and laid her head back down, enjoying her back rub. Stephen moved in small circles dow her back. Kelly smiled micheviously to her self before sitting up quickly and throwing her arms around his neck, kissing him again. Stephen returned this kiss this time with equal entheusiasm.
