The jingle bells rang and the ground was covered in snow as Christmas filled the sky
Connor walks into his house with a Christmas hat, black coat, and big brown boots
He has a scarf wrapped around his neck
He takes it off and hangs it up, then he removes his coat
Connor: MOM IM BACK!
He shouts upstairs
Ella: Alright I'm coming!
Ella comes downstairs and she has a present in her hand
She cheeses as she hands it to Connor
Connor: What is this?
He shakes it but doesn't hear anything and it feels light
Connor: What-
Ella: Just open it!
He then starts to unwrap it
As he unwraps the present he sees a black box
He opens the box and there's a silver and white watch inside the box
Connor: Wait-
Ella: It belonged to your father
Ella: He wanted to give this to you once you were old enough
Connor stares at the watch as a tear falls from his eye
He then closes it and hugs his mom
Connor: Thank you…..
Ella: Of course champ…
As they let each other go
Ella: Imma go get dinner finished you can finish setting up
Connor: Okay
He heads into the living room and his doorbell rings
He opens it to see Cassidy and Dominic smiling
Cassidy & Dominic: Merry Christmas!!!
Connor smiles as he lets them in
Connor: Hey guys
They sit in the living room as they hold gifts in their hands
Cassidy has 3 gifts in a bag as she takes them out
Cassidy: This is for you
She says as she hands Connor a gift
Cassidy: This is for you…
She hands the other gift to Dominic and the box is quite big
Cassidy: The last one is for your mom
Connor: What is this?
Dominic: Imma open mine first!
He starts unwrapping it and then proceeds to stop and gains a happy smile on his face
Dominic: No- No way!
He unwraps it quickly like a kid and it is a big black box
He takes the lid off and it's a pair of football cleats
Dominic: It's THE CLEATS I BEEN WANTING!
Dominic hugs Cassidy in excitement
Dominic: Now I feel bad
Cassidy: You didn't get me anything did you….
Dominic: I didn't get either one of you guys anything
Dominic: I didn't know we were giving gifts this year…..
Dominic: Guys always remember…. Christmas isn't all about giving gifts…. It's about the love and joy
They both look at him with a straight face
Cassidy: Open yours, Connor!
Connor: What did you get me?
Cassidy: Just open it, please
He tears it open and opens a box that has a CD in it
Connor: NO WAY!
Cassidy: Yes way
Connor: IT'S THE LIMIT EDITION OF THE GODFATHER TRILOGY!
Connor: THIS IS THE BEST GIFT YOU HAVE EVER GAVE ME! THANK YOU!
Cassidy: You better have liked it that cost me 70 bucks
Cassidy: I decided to do something better this year because apparently, you guys didn't like my sweaters from last year
Connor: I got you both gifts but I want to give you guys them later
Cassidy: Why?
Connor: Just know you're gonna love them
Dominic: Any word on William?
Connor: No not since the last time we saw him
Cassidy: Can we see the?
Connor: You guys know about it also?
They both shake their head
Connor: Dylan just talks too much
Connor: Come to my room
They head into Connor's room and he turns around and lifts his shirt up and his back has black lines everyone with spots of blackness
Cassidy: OH MY-
Dominic covers her mouth
Ella: EVERYTHING ALRIGHT?
Ella shouts
Connor: We're good mom!
He shouts back
Dominic: William really has a way to make a statement
Connor: This isn't good is it?
Dominic: On the bright side you have a new Wolf tat
Connor face turns serious
Dominic: Too soon?
Connor: I need to get rid of this immediately
Cassidy: Have you talked to your parents Dominic?
Dominic: No I haven't I could ask them about this
Connor: That would be great
Connor: In the meantime, I have to meet with Lapis so she can see if she can help me
Cassidy: What do I do?
Dominic: Stay here with Connor's mom and keep her busy so she doesn't worry about us being gone long
Cassidy: So I'm useless….
Connor: No of course not
Dominic: Yes- Yes you are
Connor heads downstairs with the rest
Ella: Where are you going?
Connor: Got a few runs to make for some friends
Connor: These gifts won't deliver themselves
Connor: Cassidy will stay here and help with dinner
Ella: Alright be back before 8
Connor: Will do!
Connor heads out the door with Dominic
Connor: We need to put an end to William soon
Dominic: Agreed I'm getting tired of looking over my shoulder every day
Connor: It's every day and I'm-
Connor sees Summer walking down the street crying
Connor looks at Dominic and Dominic looks at him
Dominic: This is your chance
Connor: Chance for what?
Dominic: To get the girl you wanted
Connor just looks
Dominic: GO!
Connor runs to Summer
Summer wipes her face as Connor walks up to her
Summer: Hey
She says with a smile
Connor: Hey Summer
Summer: Glad to see you out moving
Connor: Yeah I wasn't gonna let a coma stop me from living
Summer: That's good…..
She says giggling as they walk down the street
Connor: Where you heading?
Summer: Oh- I'm going home
They walk in silence for a few seconds
Connor: How's things with Aaron?
Summer stops
Summer: You don't know?
Connor: Know what?
Summer: We broke up about a week ago
Connor: Wait what! Why?
Summer: I realized that he was a jerk and a bully. I couldn't deal with him after he was talking about you when you were in a coma….
Connor: What a jerk
Connor: You deserve better than him
Summer: Thanks….
Summer: I just feel bad, you know?
Connor: Don't feel bad about that guy
Connor: You are kind, caring, and thoughtful and you are one of the best people I know….
Connor: And to be honest with you he doesn't deserve you at all
Summer: That was- sweet of you
Connor: You should stop by my house and join us for dinner
Summer: Nah I don't want to intrude
Connor: You're not trust me
Connor: Honestly the more the the merrier
Summer: I mean my parents are gone for the week- so I guess I could come by
Connor: Alright! Be there at 8
Connor arrives at Lapis house
Lapis points out at her window and tells him to come through the window
Connor gets into her window and enters her pink bedroom
Connor: Was that necessary?
Lapis: My dad is downstairs and he has a no-boy policy
Connor: I gotta be back home in like an hour so let's make this quick
Lapis: OK so the word going around is that William is planning to do a grand finale tonight
Lapis: And it starts and ends with you
Connor: What does that mean?
Lapis: I don't know yet but you and the others just need to be looking over your shoulders tonight
Connor: I'm already doing that
Lapis: Oh and I forgot to mention William was told about a prophecy involving you
Connor: What- A prophecy?
Connor: Saying what?
Lapis: Apparently the prophecy says that a "Once a teen turned part wolf will overcome great obstacles and become the True Alpha"
Connor: What's a True Alpha?
Lapis: I don't know but I'm pretty sure William says you have a lot to do with it
Connor: Thanks for the info Lapis…. You helped a lot
Connor: I'll see you later
Lapis: Bye!!!
He climbs out the window as Dominic walks into his house's front door
His mom and dad is in the kitchen making cookies and sweet potato casserole
Dad: Susan can you get the cookies before they burn!
Susan runs and takes the cookies out before they turn black
Susan: GOT IT HONEY!
Dominic: Mom and Dad, I'M HOME!
He shouts
Susan walks out the kitchen with a smile and a apron
Susan has blonde hair with red lipstick on
She wearing a white button up and a red skirt and she has black heels on
Susan: Hey honey….
Susan: Did you have fun at Connor's?
Dominic: Yeah you know I always do
Susan: Look likes someone is in a good mood
His face goes from a smile to serious
Dominic: Mom…..
Dominic: We need to talk….
Dominic dad walks in the living room
Susan: Richard, Dominic need to talk to us about something
Richard: Wassup kiddo?
Dominic: You both should take a seat for this…..
A few minutes pass…..
Susan: We didn't expect you to find out so early
Susan: I didn't find out till I was 17
Dominic: You guys suck at hiding things
Dominic: I saw that great-grandma burned down a church
Dominic: So she's also a witch?
Susan: Every woman in the family has been a witch but you are the first male witch in the family
Susan: I know it's a lot to process but I got you every step of the way
Dominic: Wait so question
Dominic: Do you guys know anything about a dark magic spell that consumes the one hit by it?
Susan: How you- Were YOU hit
Dominic: No! This is hypothetical
Susan: I know that everyone who has been hit by her spell has never overcome it
Dominic becomes nervous
Later on…..
Everyone is arriving at Connors's house and the spirits are high and everyone laughing and conversating
They take a seat at the dinner table
Ella, Connor, Dominic, Cassidy, Dylan, Jessica, Summer, and Caleb all gather around for their Christmas dinner
Connor stands up
Connor: I just wanna thank everyone for being here today
Connor: a year ago I wouldn't have thought that I would have as many friends and people I could call upon
Connor: And I just wanted to say thank you…. Thank you for being here for me
Connor raises his glass and puts it in the center as everyone else glass is knocked into each other
Everyone: CHEERS!!!
They begin passing the dishes around and start to eat
On the table, there is turkey with stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, ham, and cranberry sauce
They all eat and talk enjoying their Christmas
A little while later….
Everyone is finished eating and Summer is helping Ella clean the dishes
Dominic and Cassidy are helping Connor clean the table and Dominic hands Connor the dirty containers and dishes
He takes them into the kitchen seeing Summer and Ella cleaning the kitchen
Ella: Hey champ…. Did you enjoy the food
She says as Connor hands her the dishes
Connor: It was some of your best
Summer: No really Miss Bell! The food was great
Ella: No seriously call me Ella
Ella: And thank you
Connor and Summer just smile and stare at each other
Ella: Connor can you help Summer finish up the rest of these dishes
Ella: I gotta go finish cleaning the living room
Connor: Of- Of course
Ella leaves the kitchen and Connor comes up and starts to hand Summer the dishes in silence
Connor: I- I'm glad you came
Summer: Yeah and thank you for the invitation
Summer: But did you really throw up on the barbecue grill?
She says smiling
Connor: Come on! I was 10
They both giggle
Connor: Every since you've been here tonight I've seen that
Summer: What?
Connor: You smile….
She smiles as they both lock eyes
Cassidy walks towards the kitchen but stops herself
She watches them two
She first starts to look upset but then her face shifts into a slight smile
She walks off
A few minutes go by and Connor is walking Summer out
She has her jacket in her hand with a hat on her head
Connor: Again thanks for coming by
Summer: Always text me and we could maybe grab a bite sometime
Connor smiles
Connor: Yeah- Yeah of course whenever you want to- to we can
She waves at him as she walks down to the car and gets in and he waves back as the car pulls off
Dominic, Dylan, Caleb, Cassidy, and Jessica walks up
Dominic: So?
Connor: I think she just asked me out on a date?….
They all get excited
Dominic: YES!
Dylan: Lil Wolf got game
They laugh
Caleb's phone rings and he sees the contact and it says Lapis
He answers the phone and his face widens
Connor: Caleb… what's wrong?
Caleb: It's- it's starting
Mayor West leaves his office and walks toward his car
He starts to unlock the door and a man walks up behind him putting a black bag over his head
Summer sits in the backseat of the car
Summer: Hey where are we going
The driver: We will be arriving soon…
The driver looks up and it is William
William: Time to begin…..
To be continued….
