Before Bette could finish her sentence, she turned toward the door. She stood up leaving Tina dumbfounded. Shit. “Bette, what?”

“Werewolf.”

“What?”

“T, use your feline nose. It’s canine in the air.”

Tina got up and walked toward Bette. She was right. She could smell it in the air. Bette motioned to her to stand away from the door while she retrieved a knife from the kitchen. Vampires were strong but an out of control werewolf could hold its own. She came back before Tina could blink twice. The brunette stood behind the door and motioned for Tina to open it.

Tina silently counted to three and threw open the door. It all happened in an instant. The wolf bounded into the house growling and snarling. Tina drew her wand as Bette grabbed the animal by the scruff of its neck. She struggled with it as Tina tried her best to fix her aim on the animal. Just as Bette was about to use her knife, Tina flicked her wrist. The animal stopped moving. It was as if someone had poured liquid nitrogen on it. Bette pushed it from her and got up brushing the wolf hair from her clothes.

“T, maybe, next time you could give me a heads up about using the wand? I don’t like wolf fur and I didn’t really want to hurt it.”

“Um, ok but I’m a witch. Why do you keep forgetting I can do magic? Besides, we really didn’t talk about it, you know? Why did we even open the door?”

The blonde went over and helped her get rid of the fur. “Tina, that wolf was coming in here whether we wanted it to or not. I just thought it should be on our own terms.”

They both walked over and stared at the animal.

“I wonder what he wants.”

“She.”

“It’s a ‘she’? When did you have a chance to look?”

Bette smirked at her. “I didn’t. That’s Detective Duffy.”

“From the Planet? What the hell?”

“Can you bring her out of it? Uh, but keep the wand on standby, ok?”

Tina smiled and flicked her wrist, whispering something Bette couldn’t understand. The werewolf slowly began to move and as she did, her human form suddenly began to materialize.
