John, what have you gotten yourself into this time?"
Michael and I were working on our third cup of coffee each by the time I was through spilling my guts about everything that had been happening in the past few days. It seemed like such a long story for something that has been going on for just a little while but then again it's been a story in the making for some time now.
"Wow John. This is crazy. So let me see if I have this straight. You are in love with Avalon?" I just nodded in agreement.
"Yes."
"You've only just met her a couple days ago?"
"Yes."
"But you've been talkin g to each other online for a year now?"
"Yes."
"Avalon is married to a jackass."
"Yes."
"You've known her since she was a little girl because you knew and cared for her parents."
"Yes."
"Her husband has no idea about any of this."
"We think not, yes." Michael looked at me for a minute and then continued.
"Vampires attacked Avalon and her friends earlier this morning when they were on their way home and you interceded as a wolf so they have no idea it was you."
"Yes."
"Avalon is now asleep in your bedroom because you’re worried that vamps may be after her."
"Yes."
"Am I missing anything John?" I had to think for a second and then added;
"And she may also become a shape shifter like us." "What?!" Michael was stunned.
"Well, both of her parents were shape shifters, they are the ones that taught me how to control it and how to live basically. I know that doesn't mean she for a fact will inherit the trait but that doesn't rule it out either. There is a real possibility she could become a shape shifter and one reason why her mother wanted me to look after her."
Michael stopped and shook his head like he was trying to get everything in his head to line up.
"So it's possible she might change at some point?"
"Yes. She also doesn't know that either or that I am a shape shifter. I doubt she even knows they exist." Michael was pacing at this point.
"But usually the change happens at an earlier age doesn't it? Shouldn't she have already changed if she was going to? I mean we both did."
"Not necessarily. From what I have been told and can figure out it can happen at any age but it typically happens sometime between the ages of ten and thirty which gives her plenty of time since she's only twenty-five." Michael shakes his head in agreement. "Okay. So you've gotten yourself in deep this time my friend."
"Yes I have. See why I called you? I need to figure out if those vamps were just a weird coincidence or if they were after Ava and I have no idea where to start."
"Don't worry John. I'm on it. Give me some time and I will find out whatever I can."
I knew I could always count on Michael. Just then we heard someone coming down the stairs and I turned to Michael and whispered
"Remember she doesn't know anything." I could tell from his nod that he knew what I was talking about. So I breathed a little easier once Ava was down the stairs and in my sight.
I would never get used to seeing her or her beauty. She was just so beyond beautiful and she always took my breath away, especially when she was wearing my shirt and jeans.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt you." I jumped up out of my chair.
"You didn't interrupt us at all. Ava, this is my friend Michael. He came by to see me for a little while." Michael stood up and shook her hand.
"Hello Michael."
"Hello Avalon is it?"
"Yes."
"Well John, I won't keep you. I will let you know anything I find out as soon as I can." Michael winked at me as I lead him towards the door.
"Thank you for all your help man."
"Until next time Avalon." Ava nodded as I shut the door.
"We didn't wake you did we?" Ava stepped towards John with a little smile on her face.
"You two did not wake me but you sort of did.” I know she could tell I looked confused until she stepped closer and placed her
