"Paige!" Caleb yelled as the girl took off down the dirt path in the woods. Chasing down anytype of animal that put up a fight was Paige's favorite thing to do now.

"Come on. She obviously isn't going to stop. Let's go get her." Spencer said.

It had been a long and hard two months for the four werewolfs. At first they couldn't get Paigeout of her slump. All she did was eat and sleep. Distraut over the fact that Emily had asked her to leave. She just couldn't see, that at the time, it was what she needed. Emily knew that. And she let Paige go.

But what Paige didn't understand is that Emily didn't really let her go. The mild pain Paige was feeling, was nothing to compare to the pain she would feel if Emily were to break the connection. It took about three weeks for Spencer, Caleb and Toby to get that through her head, and to get her to where she was now.

They told her that what Emily did was to benefit the both of them. Paige had never had the opportunity to truly grasp her gift before Alison appeared. Then when they finally got rid of her, her grandfather tried to kill her. All of Paige's pent up energy was coming to a boil. She needed time to adjust.

They had convinced her that Emily was in fact safe. Saying things like, "she lived this long without you safely, she can go a little while longer", didn't really sit well with the girl and often led to her getting into a fight with Spencer. Which the boys had to break up.

After those weeks passed and Paige accepted that Emily did it for her own good, and she was safe at home, Paige began to adjust to her wolf abilities. Shifting into a were was the most freeing Paige had felt in a long time. She spent the most of her time running. They ended up, at one point, on the other side of the country. They stopped in Texas and Paige was able to meet her Aunt Veronica for the first time. She ran to Canada and Alaska, just to try out the colder weather, before heading to Mexico to try real Mexican food for the first time.

Paige was having a great time. But in the back of her mind Paige knew she had to get back to her mate. Two months without any contact and it was starting to show on her. She was a little more touchy with the subject of Emily than usual. The group knew better than to bring it up, but made sure that they were slowly working their way to bring her home.

Which is how they found themselves back in PA now. Chasing after Paige as she ran after the first foreign noise she heard. Paige sprinted and climbed upon rocks to get above her prey. Jumping off the rock towards the first sound of a twig snapping, shifting to human form in the process, she collided with something solid and about her size. Hearing a scream come from behind her Paige snapped into action and realized that she had tackled a body to the ground. The smell familiar in her nose. She pulled up on her arms and rolled the body below her over.

"Paige?" The lips of the body mumbled out as eyes opened slowly.

"Em?" Paige said as she realized who she had just tackled.

"Oh my God!" Emily yelled before throwing her arms around Paige's neck and pulling her down into her body, Paige putting up no resistance and falling completely on the girl. Paige buried her nose into Emily's neck and took big sniffs of the girls skin, familiarizing herself with her mates scent again. Pulling Emily off the ground with her Paige stood and hugged Emily tightly. Emily suddenly realized that she was mad at Paige and pushed her away from her body. "Two fucking months Paige? Two months and you don't think you could have maybe fucking called?"

"Ok, I can tell your angry." Paige said as she held her hands up in defense as Emily hit her with her closed fists over and over as she yelled at her.

"One call Paige!" Emily said before Paige grabbed her hands.

"You told me to go! Remember that?" Paige asked back, now yelling too. Drawing the attention of Spencer, Caleb, Toby and Sydney.

"I thought you would at least have the common courtesy to call your mate!" Emily yelled as she backed away from Paige. The two stood starring at each other.

"Mate?" Sydney asked.

"Uhh, Sydney, this is Paige." Emily said on a slightly disgruntled tone.

"Hi." Paige said, not taking her eyes off of Emily.

"Hi. I think I am just going to go. Leave you two to fight it out." She said with a slight laugh.

"I'm going to go with you." Emily said, turning to leave with Sydney.

"Em?" Paige said before Emily cut her off.

"Don't." Emily said before turning back to Paige. "You slept alone so well the past two months, you can sure as hell do it for awhile longer."

"Told you, you should always call and check in." Caleb said.

"Fuck you." Paige mumbled under her breath before turning and heading towards her ownhouse. Walking across the lawn to the back of her house Paige looked at the spot that Emily stood on the day she told her to leave.

"Go Paige!" Was the last thing Emily said to her before Toby pulled her away.

"Let's go Paige." Toby said, turning with Paige to the tree line before turning into their wolf forms. Paige ran fast and hard that day. Far, far away from her home. She made it to the west coast in record time. The pack behind her never breaking stride as they let Paige settle and slow down. "Paige?" Toby asked as he stepped up to the girl.

"She just told me she would never break our imprint. Our bond! And then she does that?" Paige yells. The three others standing around her.

"Paige, she had to." Caleb said calmly.

"How can you be so calm?" Paige yelled again.

"Because you're being an ass." Spencer said, stepping forward and into Paige's space.

"Excuse me?" Paige said.

"You're. Being. An. Ass." Spencer stated, pushing Paige back off of her. "That's it!" Paige said shoving Spencer even harder, making her fall on her back before she jumped on her and they started fighting.

"Come on guys!" Toby said as he helped Caleb break them up.

"Give a few weeks Paige. A few weeks and I promise you will feel like you again." Toby said.

"I don't even know who I am anymore." Paige said as she walked away from them.
