Authors Notes: After watching the finale to series two, I began to cry. I then started to think about a story, so thats where this comes in, I do hope you all enjoy, after all it is the first time I have ever written a Wolfblood fic.

You Said You'd Find Me, But I Found You.

Maddy

Jana said it was a stupid idea. But even now as I'm watching her tell members of the pack to go and do their own thing for a while I can see the eagerness in her eyes. The last wolfbloods she told to 'do their thing' was my parents. They look at her skeptically before looking in my direction, then nod as they walk off together in the opposite direction. Then Jana is running over to me at full speed.

"Come on then." She says, she sounds like a little girl eager to go to the park and play with her friends. She sounded like I did when I was little, then I start to think about him again.

Why is it when I think about my past, I always begin to start thinking about Rhydian. It's been almost five years since I last saw him, or Shannon, or even Tom, and I miss those two more than him. But thats a lie, I've been trying to convince myself now for almost a year that I am over Rhydian... But I'm not.

There are so many things that when I think about them, I think about Rhydian. Then there's the dreams, the constant dreams, the dreams I don't want, nor need. I need to settle down in the pack, not to be constantly reminded of my past life, and I want to be able to move on so I can settle down in the pack. I hadn't noticed Jana was talking to me until se shouts my name for probably the seventh time, "Maddy!" she shouts, I turn to look at her, I've finally snapped back to the here and now.

Its funny how I only met my now best friend and leader of the pack through Rhydian.

And there I go again. Thinking about Rhydian, how he introduced me to Jana, he taught me how to use Eolas, and he is the main reason why I am going back to Stoneybridge and risking everything.

Insane, I know.

But I've been away for too long now, and there is no way that stupid Dr. Whitewood is going to be interested in wolfbloods anymore. But although I'm not entirely sure, I'm glad I have Jana with me, though we might not have always been the closest of pals, I know she will help me.

Then I remeber she's talking to me, and I zone in again, "Sorry, what did you say again Jana?" I ask, she gives an exaggerated groan as she goes over what she said before.

"I think that Fred has the hots for you, Mads." She says in a tone which reminds me slightly of the K's when they had their little moments – not when they argued of course, but when they tell each other secrets or stuff like that, honestly, if its a secret they shouldn't whisper so loud – I roll my eyes at Jana's comment, typical of her to think that, its obvious Fred is into her not me... then again all the males are, since she's the leader.

In what seems like hours, but is actually minutes we have arrived at our destination, and it hasn't changed a bit.

As we walk down a muddy path, trainers leaving prints behind us we both take in a deep breath of the Stoneybridge air and smile at one another, "Home?" I ask Jana, she knows what I mean, I mean that 'doesn't it feel so familiar?' but of course, it is familiar, to us at least.

The smells, the sounds, the feel, and the look.

All of it the same, and then as if by coincidence with our timing, I see them, walking out of the little corner shop we always used to go to together, Shannon and Tom, they're laughing together, though I can tell from a mile away that its a broken laugh, do they, miss me? Still? I turn to look at Jana, she's noticed to, she looks back at me and whispers, "It's them."

I can't help it, there's nothing else to respond with, I just walk towards them, but I pretend I haven't noticed them, I look at my surroundings the tree's, the buildings and then they see me.

I hear from the distance I'm at Shan ask Tom, "Is it really her?"

And Tom seems just as shocked with his response, "It can't be... can it?"

"She wasn't exactly banished from ever coming back to Stoneybridge, Tom." Shannon says in her matter-of-factly tone, I can't help but smile, so long since I heard that tone from Shan.

I turn to face them, I know Jana is close by because I can practically feel her beaming smile as we make our way closer to them, and my smile matches theirs and hers. I'm back, I'm home. Suddenly they are making their way towards me and Jana slowly at first before they begin to break into a run.

"Mads?!" Shan and Tom shout in unison, I nod, they then run a little faster, "Jana?!" they shout in unison again, Jana then smiles, and if it possible for normal humans like them they run even faster, until they are practically flying towards me and Jana, I can't even begin to express how happy I feel as myself and Jana get pulled into a group hug.

I missed them.

And in that moment, all thoughts of Rhydian are unimportant. I have them... my friends.

"Mads... man, I've missed you, but you have let yourself go girl!" Tom exclaims, its true of course, my hair is much longer than it used to be, isn't brushed, I have mud all over my face and body, I have a few battle scars – from fights with other wolfbloods – and I look older than what they have seen me like, but I haven't put on wait as far as I know, but Toms comment doesn't phase me, I'm just so happy to have him and Shan back... to happy, that I don't even notice him standing there.

"Hello Maddy." I hear, his voice is deeper and I am frightened to look at him, scared of the changed I might see in him. But his hands lift my chin and I am forced to look at him, he has changed, not only is his voice much deeper, but he is taller, his hair is shorter, his smile is broken and in his eyes, deep in them I can see his happiness, but its covered by guilt... over what?

"Hello Rhydian." I respond, finally regaining my voice, his eyes seem to flicker with relief as I say his name, but his smile quickly fades. I let go of Shannon to hug him, but as I let go, she turns and glares at him, before walking off with Tom and Jana to leave me and Rydian on our own.

It's awkward. Thats all I can say about the situation, neither of us I know what to say.

But then I'm angry. And I can tell he knows why.

"You said you'd find me... but I found you... did you even bother to look for me?" I ask, Christ I sound so bitter, so cold, so evil, and it cuts into him like a hot knife in butter, and theres shame in his eyes... so thats why Shan gave him the look, but theres another reason, I can tell, behind those eyes is more guilt, and there's pleading...

Why do I get the feeling that I'm not going to like what he has to say?

"I tried, but Maddy you don't understand, she just wouldn't leave me alone-" I interupt him before he can continue... I knew I wouldn't like it.

"She? Who is she?" I hope he means his foster mum, but even if he did, he is old enough now to have left home, after all, he has proven himself he can look after himself. But then the glare Shan gave him sticks in my mind, Shan doesn't glare at someone unless theres a good reason.

He lowers his voice to a whisper as he tells me about the other female wolfblood he met only months after I left. Her name leaves a bad taste in my mouth as the green-eyed-monster begins to come out of me.

Victoria.

Just thinking about what Rhydian tells me causes me to get misty eyed and push past him towards where my old home used to be.

"Maddy! Maddy wait! I'm sorry! Maddy!" Too late Rhydian... five years too late.

Authors Notes: Yes five years is a long time, but I wanted Rhydian and Maddy to be more mature for this particular story. I don't have anything against the name Victoria, my cousin is actually a Victoria, I just chose any random name. I will be doing a few other chapters to this, but they will be in either Rhydian or Maddy's POV, hopefully you'll understand the story though. Thanks for reading so far, please tell me what you think of it.
