He panicked when he awoke. The room was moving. Why did things like this always happen to him? The last thing he remembered was getting way too close to Kiji's camp and then…nothing. Slamming against the side of the wall he fell to the floor it jumped and bumped along with the road. It was too cold and dark for him to be at home. He roared angrily as the van jumped over the bumping road rolling into Forks Washington.
The truck driver stopped in Forks to fill up then move along to California to drop off his load. Getting back on the road he headed for the interstate. The slippery roads and the deer that ran into the road were too much for the heavily drunk driver. He swerved and crashed head long sliding in the water into a tree.
He slammed into the wall painfully and saw that the side of the truck now had a horrid rend in the side. He felt his head begin to bleed but he was too frantic to worry right now. Tall trees the size of mountains towered around him. Running into the forest he stumbled because of the sudden change in temperature. Nuku picked himself back up and ran for a long time till he couldn't go any further.

Jacob and Seth were paired off for patrol that evening.
"Hey, Jake?" Seth asked, glancing at his taller companion. "Do you smell that?"
Jacob inhaled deeply, sniffing the air for possible bloodsuckers. Finding none, he stared in confusion at Seth. "What? I don't smell any bloodsuckers."
"Not bloodsuckers! I' smells like... cat?" Seth asked, now confused. "It's like cat... but not. This is weird. Do you think we should get Sam?"
Jacob shook his head. "We can handle this, Seth."
Seth nodded, and the two shape shifters walked off into the woods along La Push's borders, searching for the cat-like smell.

Nuku shoved himself to his feet after a short rest. The adrenaline rush was gone and now he was just scared. The blood had dried which was a good thing. But when he stepped forward away from the tree he'd collapsed by, he stumbled. He'd hurt his foreleg. "Great," he mumbled tucking his leg under him. Walking more cautiously into the woods he practiced walking on three legs.

He was gone for three days now. Pacing back and forth Kiji stared out the window of her hut. "Kiji, dear," Nyota sighed, "You're father will be here soon. I just spoke to him through the radio." Kiji's friend since youth said. She looked at her angry 17 year old friend. The well worn dirt by the window was pounded away at by her nervous feet. Anger and fright stirred in her heart.
She repeatedly told him that the lion was not for sale. None of them. He kept persisting and she beat him across the face. Kiji didn't see Nuku coming to the camp. She saw the man had shot the lion and was dragging him into a van. He drove off out of rang and she collapsed in to the dirt after running after it.
"How did this happen?" she growled, "He wasn't hurting anyone! He was just trying to return my necklace!"
"They don't know about you, Kiji," Nyota said, "If you could just tell them…"
"No!" she snapped, "I will not be some hideous tool in the hands of wicked men."
"Kiji, calm down," her friend said, "I was talking about Charles. I hate lying for you."
Kiji looked to her friend then cast her eyes down, "I'm sorry. I just…I will tell him."
Nyota brightened, "You will?"
"Yes," she nodded, "It's been seven years. I guess I owe him."
Both girls looked up when they heard the plane's engine grow nearer and louder. They ran outside to greet him and hear the news.
Charles looked so sun burnt as he came out of the plane. He carried with him the key for finding Nuku. His laptop from home. Though he lived a life of luxury, he loved the wilds of Africa. He only brought such luxuries in case of emergencies. And this was defiantly an emergency.
They Googled the company name of the people that took Nuku. After searching for an hour they found that the van with the "Cargo" was driving through Canada into Washington. Charles found a news link and watched the video of the van in flames. The man inside was dead and the only good thing was that there was no other remains in the burnt out shell.
Kiji turned to her father and said, "Baba, he was really close to me. I never told you this before but I can talk to them. They understand me and I understand them. I need to go find him."
He was shocked and stuttered. He told her it was too dangerous but she told him she'd be fine. Nyota could go with her. Charles had bought her visa last year so getting past security would be a breeze. He sighed and booked the plane. She hugged him and he smiling said, "Go get him back."

Seth and Jacob continued to search for the mysterious scent. They went past La Pushes border, then stopped. "That's bloodsucker territory," Seth thought to Jacob.
Jacob froze up for a second before he said, "They're not here anymore."
Seth nodded and, and the two continued tracking the scent. It brought them to the outskirts of the forest beside Forks. "It's in here," Seth remarked.
Jacob rolled his eyes. "I knew that, Seth." he said dryly. Seth and Jacob found themselves in the forest now, and the scent grew much stronger. Seth's eyes widened as a shape came into view. "Woe! Is that what I think it is?"

Nuku kept going step by step. He never realized how hungry he was. His mane had grown some over the past year and he was barely in his sub adult years. Said mane was matted and sticking to him due to the wet air. Despite the air he stopped in his tracks. Something was wrong. A smell, like a jackal or hyena but less filthy was near. Lowering into the brush he kept his eyes and ears open.

Seth stared in amazement at the large cat before him.
'Woe! Look at that, Jake! It's a… lion!' Seth thought excitedly.
'Come on, Seth. That's not really…' Jake's eyes took in the lion crouched in the bushes. 'Woe. You're right. That really is a lion.' Jake finally admitted.
'See! I told you!' Seth said gleefully, beginning to inch toward the lion.

Everything inside of him screamed turn around and run away. But the smell was different from the warning signs back home. Moving closer to the smell he heard breathing. Two sets. Freezing he lowered even more. He knew they'd probably found him. He was outnumbered. His flight feeling turned to fight. And he would fight, if he had to.
Let us know really. it's been funto write and we're intersted on how this will work out.
