And you change into whatlooks like a Pixie..." For a moment, I just stared at her before slowly repeating,"Different animals? How many Weres are there... And how the hell did Iget turned into one..." "You didn't get turned into a Were," Anita told me gently, "Youwere born one. You inherited it from your parents... or at least one ofthem." "No way..." I started, but Anita held up her hand to stop me. "I don't think anyone knows where Weres originally came from,"Anita sighed, giving a shrug, "As. “Me too”, she replied smiling shyly.“Mom you smell wonderful tonight, what is it?” I asked.Mom told me and I said “could I have a proper sniff”.I leaned in close and it was sending me crazy being so close to mom smelling her perfume. I gently kissed her neck and then again and again. Mom’s reaction was to put her hand on my head to reassure me that it was okay, while letting out the tiniest of gasps of pleasure.I slowly raised my head to look her in the eye and I could see the passion in her. Did you ever discover how to remove the power permanently?"Again my eyes were huge for a moment, smiling I nodded, figures the old man was still watching me, "oh yeah that's right I got you once didn't I?"

I'd finally caught up to a really scummy life violator, had shut his power down, immobilized him, and was moving in for the arrest. There was a sudden noise. ”“Yeah, it’s so weird,” I giggled.“But Mei, Marissa, Kelly, Becky, Rosa, and ... Theresa are definites,” she said, rattling off the names for the seventeenth bazillion time. “Mei only drinks diet soda, right?”“I think so,” I told her.“Well, grab a case of Diet Pepsi for her.”We had a shopping cart full of soda, jugs of Arizona iced tea, and bags of all sorts of chips and dips. It was far too much, but I didn’t say that to Lana. She was clearly having so much fun. She paid with her Mom’s debit.
