"Michelle!" Emily cried out, running towards her friend. Lisa and Krista followed.
Bill and Teri took advantage of the distraction and ran for their car. They drove off, screeching their tires as they pulled away.
"Is she OK? Is she OK?"
"I'm checking for a pulse," Krista said. "I feel one. She's OK, Em. I think she's asleep."
Lisa pulled the pellet out of Michelle's fur. "I think it's a tranquilizer dart."
"Man, they thought of everything."
"Let's get her inside," Emily said. "Help me lift."
The girls carried the sleeping werewolf into the house and put her to bed. "I'm gonna stay with her until she wakes up," Emily said. "You two can go back to bed."
"Come get us if you need anything," Krista said. "And don't worry too much, she'll probably wake up in the morning perfectly fine."
"She'd better," Emily said, "I... I need her."
Krista and Lisa left Emily with Michelle. She layed down in bed next to her and cuddled up next to her, relying on her fur to keep her warm.
