Today's Date: Still too late!

Prison Break
Good News everyone: we've escaped from the School for the second time.
Bad news: One of the School's flunkies came along for the ride.
His name is Ari and is the last of the School's old enforcers known as Erasers; part man, part wolf. He claims he's changed and wants to help us now, but I don't buy it. He did, after all, leave me for dead on a beach barely clinging to life. In an ironic twist of fate that was also where Max kissed me for the first time, but that's another story.
I don't know why Max has decided to trust him all of a sudden, but I truly believe this decision is going to back fire on her. A part of me is thinking of just leaving the flock, but my loyalties to Max prevent me from doing so. Besides someone has to make sure Ari doesn't pull anything.
We've temporarily settled down for the moment to rest up. We choose a pretty odd town to hide in; the sun is almost never in view due to a nearly everlasting cloud barrier. That's all I can say for now.
-Fang from somewhere in the U.S.
"Nice blog," Ari said from behind me. "Minus the part where you think I'm still evil."
"Ari. How long have you been standing there?"
"Long enough to get a good picture of the reason why you hate me so much for joining the group."
"Oh, really? Let's hear your theory."
"You're jealous."
"Of what?" I asked, fighting back a laugh. Laughing isn't my style.
"You're jealous of the fact that there's someone else that can protect Max now. It's even worse that the person is me."
"You're delusional, Ari."
"Am I? I'm capable of doing whatever it takes to defend her, and let's not forget that I'm stronger than you'll ever be Fang. I don't think anybody would miss you if you left."
That was the last straw for me. I jumped to my feet and went on the attack. I launched a punch at his side, but Ari parried the blow and shoved his open palmed hand into my chest. I felt myself get lifted off the ground and crashed into a nearby tree, breaking off part of it due to the impact.
Ari pulled me up by the collar and gave me a cold stare. "Don't try that again if you know what's good for you, Fang. You're lucky my loyalties lie with Max. Otherwise, you wouldn't be breathing right now." Ari let me drop and stalked back to the campsite.
My fists tightened and I ground my teeth. For a second I wanted to go after him again. His words stung; more than I'd ever let him know. I shouldn't be feeling this way. Hell, when I was first brought into this world I didn't feel anything all.
The School designed me to be the perfect soldier with no emotions to hold me back. I'd obey any and all orders, no matter what they were. My first test was to fight the School's toughest guards. I took them both down in one minute flat. Week after week it was nothing, but fight, fight, fight, and fight again. I didn't know what it was like to feel emotion or anything else for that matter.
That all changed during my 100th test. They ordered me to kill my opponent this time, but I couldn't bring myself too. To say that the white coats were baffled would be an understatement. They were completely and utterly shocked and at a loss for words. No one had any sort of explanation for my actions or lack thereof as it would be; no one that is except for Jeb. He told them why he believed I refused to act and so the scientists tested his theory by having the guards attack my target. Something inside of me went into overdrive when they beat her and I found myself yelling "Max!" I broke both guards' necks and saw Jeb with the biggest grin on his face.
"You have just witnessed firsthand that my theory is correct," He said after Max was taken out of the room. "This male hybrid has grown emotionally attached to this female hybrid." The emotionless bastards started piling over scenarios of how this could've happened, but the only ones that knew the truth were me and Max.
Unbeknownst to them, Max had been breaking out of her dog crate multiple times over the past several weeks to see more of the School. She stopped by my dog crate and said 'Hi'. Being the Vulcan that I was, all I did was stare at her. Max broke through the silence by talking about how much she despised this place and that one way or another she was going to escape even it killed her. She said she saw me fight and that she could use someone like me to make her escape when the time came. As the weeks went by, I became more intrigued by this rebel without a cause up until the day that Jeb took us away from the School. Of course, I'd never tell Max this. I'd never hear the end of it.
"You most certainly would not."
Oh, Crap. "You know how I feel about you reading my mind, Angel," I half-growled, not turning around.
"Sorry Fang," Angel apologized in that agonizingly sweet voice of hers.
"Drop the act," I said. If there's one person that could see through that cute facade of Angel's, it was me.
"It's not my fault the only way to understand you is to get inside your head. I had no idea you've loved Max for that long."
"It's complicated, Ange," I tried to dismiss. Tried being the key word.
"If you feel that way about Max, you should tell her."
"Believe me, Angel. Max does not feel the same way."
"She kissed you on that beach."
"That was a spur of the moment, 'I think you're going to die' situation."
"What about the cave?"
"Stop reading my mind," I hedged.
"Whatever you say, Fang. But you better tell her before something bad happens. When you live our life, the next day could always be the last." And then she skipped back to join the others. I silently walked back to the camp site and sat beside Max. I watched her as she slept and ran my hand through her blonde hair.
Jake's POV
'She chose him. She actually chose him. I can't believe she'd go with some guy that she barely knows,' I thought continuously as I worked on a motorcycle for no particular reason. If it wasn't for that stupid truce between us and the Cullen's, I would have ripped Edward's head off the minute I joined the pack. But if I did it now Bella would never look at me the same way again.
Bella. What did she see in that skin sparkling, blood sucking, leech! ? He's dangerous. He'll always hunger for her blood and yet Bella stayed with him despite that. I wish she picked me. I wished so badly that she would pick me; if the phone hadn't rung when we were about to kiss maybe she would have. But I can't dwell on the past now can I?
"Jacob."
I paused for a half a second, then continued with the bike, "Jeff. What do you want? Or rather, what does Sam want?"
"Sam wants you to stop sulking for one thing, Jacob. He said to say, 'You need to let this Bella thing go so it won't interfere with your duties to the pack', and he's right. Your attitude is bringing everyone else down, too." he stated simply, and headed into the forest without another word.
Let it go. I couldn't let her go even if I wanted to.
3rd person
"Why do I get the feeling that guy is going to try and kill Sam one of these days?" Jeff wondered traversing through the forest. While he ran through it he heard something rustling in the trees. "Who's there?" He called out. When he received no response he shifted into his wolf form. The predator observed its prey from the tree tops grinning widely.
"This won't last long," the predator thought and pounced on top of the young werewolf. His growls quickly turned to whimpers as he was torn apart.
Alice's POV
"Um Alice. Not that I'm unused to you always being in a cheerful mood or anything, but why are you smiling so hard?" Bella asked me, taking a seat on the edge of my bed.
"Why do you think?"
"I don't know. That's why I'm asking."
"I know Edward asked you to marry him and I couldn't be happier," I squealed, jumping on Bella.
"How exactly did you know about that?" Bella asked, pushing me off of her.
"Psychic, remember?"
"Oh yeah," Bella muttered, "Can you at least do me and Edward a favor and not mention this to anyone else. He's trying to wait for the right time." I was about to respond when all of my surroundings faded back and everything went dark around me. I could hear Bella's voice in the background, but I was too focused on my vision to listen to her.
"Alice? What did you see?" Bella asked when I came back into reality.
"I'm not sure. The whole vision was blurry. I couldn't make it all out."
"What do you remember?"
"It was snowing and there were these two people. I don't know who they were, but they were both female. One said that they had a common enemy and perhaps they could work together."
Before we could continue our conversation, Bella's phone started to ring.
"Hello?" She answered.
"Bella, It's Jake."
"Oh, hey! What's wrong? You sound pretty serious."
"Pack member was killed. Torn to pieces."
"What?"
"Yeah. We could use your brains around here."
"Okay, hold on. I'll be right there." She turned to me, "It was Jake."
"I know. You want a ride to the border, don't you?" It wasn't truly a question.
"A member of the pack was killed. He wants me to help him find out who did it. What am I supposed to do, refuse?" Bella asked, heading out the door.
"You know he'll most likely blame Edward for this." I warned.
"I know, but Jake's still my friend."
"Good evening Director Janssen."
"Jeb. I thought I made it clear that I was not to be disturbed," the Director stated watching the monitor of Max's escape.
"I'm just here to inform you that all the Flyboys have reported in. No trace of Max has been found."
"Then why are you here telling me this when you should be figuring out ways to track them down?" The Director asked not turning around.
"I figured you should know. You should also know that when Max escapes it's usually hard to catch her again."
"I know my daughter better than anyone; even you Jeb. After an escape like this she'll choose the most secluded place she can find to recuperate."
"You know Max isn't your daughter Director." For the first time since he entered her office, the Director turned around.
"You would know all about it wouldn't you, Jeb? Especially since you went behind Itex's back and picked another to donate the egg that created Max. You know it was always supposed to be me."
"Forgive me Director, but I believed that Max needed the DNA of somebody…pure."
"Get out of my sight this instant," She ordered.
"Understood," Jeb said and left her office. Once Jeb left Marian Janssen sat back at her desk and looked back at the monitor.
"You can run Max, but you can't hide. Not from me. With all those injuries you sustained you'd have to stop someplace close." She brought up a map of the United States and checked to see the most secluded spots within a few hours away from the School. Once she finished she picked up her phone and started to dial. "Jeb. You can thank me for doing your job later. I have a few leads on our missing hybrids. I want you to release the newest subject to track her down."
