Chapter 4: Freedome from the Past

Theme song: Smile by: Nat King Cole

Author's note: There will tiny Twilight refrence but that's only to Forks, Washington. I haven't decided on making a little part after season 1 we'll see.

Elena pulled up wanted Mutt posters "So, I caught up on all recent scents and locations of the usual suspects: Mutts with a history of run-ins with the Pack. For starters Zachary Cain. He was running a car theft ring in Wenatchee. Clay caught him, shut it down. But I don't have anything recent on Malcolm Danvers."
Jeremy looks at her "My father?" Elena nods "He's dead."

"When?"

"Eight months ago, we got word that he'd been challenged by a Mutt in Churchill. Someone was always taking a run at him.
Eventually, he had to lose." Jeremy gave a slight smile.

Shocked Elena looks up at him "I don't know what to say."

"My father hated me ever since I was born. I guess I wasn't the son he imagined having. And after the battle for the Alpha, there's no way we could reconcile. I don't grieve the man. I guess I might grieve for the father he might have been."

"Good fathers are hard to come by." Jermey smiles at her.

Elena continues "No one hates the Pack more then Daniel Santos. Clay killed his brother, Daniel was excommunicated..."

Jeremy interupts "That's a good thought, but that was not his scent."

Bitten~Bitten~Bitten~Bitten

On the other side of the territory, Jill stood in the tree line of her back yard.

Her father was kicking the rusted out lawnmower "God damn son of a bitch! Girl when you come back, I swear I'm going to give you the beating of your life!"

The drunkered yelled, Jill shuttered and looked down at her flats.
She knew this was her chance, turn and kill the old man or walk away.

Jeremy had found her, given her a new home and sense of freedom she doesn't have to return.

"Jillian! You best come back! I'll make it so hard for you to walk! Jill!" Sighing Jillian turns and walks away from her old life.

Bitten~Bitten~Bitten~Bitten

As Jill returned she smelled a new scent, she knew it had to be the man they've been waiting for.

Quietly she snuck in and walked down stairs following Jeremy's voice.

"A Local girl was killed by a Mutt, another bitten survived. The one killed, her body was dumped on the outskirts of town. Now we have hunters on the edge of our property. And with a bounty on this wolf, you can be sure that there will be more. We're going to put an end to this. Tonight. Now, Elena has pulled up files on Mutts with the most recent vendettas against the Pack, starting with Zachary Cain."

Clay looks at Jeremy "I left him hurting. He got the message."

"Let's not forget that we could be dealing with anybody who's crossed our path in the past. Peter and Logan, I want you in West Bear Valley. Antonio, Jill, and I will cover Main Street. And I want the rest of you to check out the industrial area. You can Change if you have to, but obviously discretion is the key."

Logan walks up to Jeremy "Another female Change?"

Jeremy smiles and nods to Jill who slowly walks up to them.

"Hi we haven't met yet, I'm Jillian Silverstone. I guess the knew anomaly." She blushes.

Logan chucckles and hugs her "Well welcome to the Pack, sorry it was the way it was but welcome."

Jill nods "Thank you."

Nodding Jeremy walks away, Jill following close behind Antonio fallowing behind them.

Bitten~Bitten~Bitten~Bitten

Night fell as they walked the crowded street, keeping within distence of each other.

Jill looks around, she had no idea what she was smelling, or looking for.

This was all knew to her, she didn't even see what this Mutt looked like.

Jeremy looks at her "Jill?" before she could say something glass breaks.

All three turn and look as people walk out of a bar.

Jill stiffens seeing her father and two woman "Ah there you are you slut!" Jill bows her head.

Jeremy and Antonio look at each other "I'm not a slut, I'm not coming home...I thought I'd come tell you that."

Jill tells the drunk to cover them "You wanna run that by me again? I'm losing money because of you!"

Jeremy took Jill's hand "Antonio we're leaving come on."

The man nods as they make their way to the car.

Bitten~Bitten~Bitten~Bitten

Everyone returned to StoneHaven Jill was the only one silent among the group.

She couldn't bring herself to look at Jeremy, wondering what he thought of her now.

"It's no one we've meet before. It's someone new. I mean, I think he's newly bitten in like Jill." Elena informs, Jeremy looks at Jill who was in a corner of the basement.

"Mutts bite to kill. Besides, the chance of a human surviving a bite are negligable. Throw in the suicide rate after the first change, and your looking at an incredibly rare situation here."

Some of the Pack looks at Jill who stairs at the floor.

"But chances aren't entirely nil, right?" Elena asks.

"Well, if he's new, then he obviously doesn't know the rules. And if he doesn't know the rules, clearly he doesn't realize that he threatens to expose all of us if he changes in front of a human."

Jeremy looks away from Jill "Okay. We set up a perimeter around his place, and we watch. When he comes out, we grab him, very quietly. I expect discipline, Clay. I want him alive. I want to know who bit him. We cannot have Mutts being made indesciminately and unleashed on the world. Let's move out."

Jill ran up the staires before everyone Antonio looks at Jeremy.
"What do you think that was back in town, between her and her father?"

Jeremy sighs "Think she was being miss treated, I don't know yet. I want her to open up on her own."

Jill waited until Jeremy was alone "Jeremy...I need to talk to you about what happened..."

Nodding Jeremy led her into a room that looked like a study.
"What was that Jill? Please tell me." Closing her eyes she takes a deep breath.

Jill shakes but trys to keep her composure "My father...he." She sheaks her head scared.

Jeremy holds her close "I'm here, I'm not going to judge you."
"He hurt me alot...he also sold me for...my grandmother found out and came to get me." She grabs onto Jeremy's vest as she continues "I lived in a small town called Forks, Washington in the States. My grandmother was Native American, when she died my father got custudy again."

Jeremy closes his eyes wishing that never happened, but then he would have never met her.

"I'm sorry for the pain you've gone through, and if you let me I want to help you. Please let me bring you from that dark spot." He whispers in her ear.

Jill looks up at him tears in her eyes, she didn't want him to see her like this.

"Why?" She whispers back.

He looks at her in shock, his eyes soften as his head leans forward a bit "Because your strong...and I've grown feelings for you, feelings I can't describe please don't leave me. Let me in." He pleds with her.

Jill nods "okay...okay I'll try...promise."

Jeremy nods and smiles "That's all I ask."

He leans down and kisses her forehead, Jill sighs in content. Somthing about him brought her calm and peace.

They both eventually part, Jeremy sits doing work at his desk while Jill sits reading by the fire.

"Elena would you come here please?" He asks, the blond.
Elena looks walks in and looks at Jill who was reading with pillows propped around her.

"Some Local kids are pisting rumors about a wolf. I doubt they'd be alive if they saw the Mutt." Jeremy stands, he walks around the desk and moves to fire place.

Jill looks up "Should I leave?" Jeremy shakes his head.

"Umm...That was me. There's no excuse. I'm sorry." She answers, as she folds her arms.

Jeremy turns to look at the blond woman "This town is under curfew. There's a bounty on wolves." He places his hands on his hip, Jill could feel the athority brim off him in waves "And it will only keep esclating until we catch him."

"I helped track, like you asked. The rest can take it from here."

Jill wasn't liking the adittude of this woman, but she kept her mouth shut; she's knew and didn't know anything about Elena as Elena didn't know anything about Jill.

"I asked you to help me catch him." Jeremy clarifys to her, as Jill slowly stands beside him.

"And I'm asking you not to do that to me again. Jose Carter was enough..." Jill looked back and forth between the two.
There was obviously some bad blood, but if killing to protect the

Pack was right, then Jill wasn't going to question it like this woman has done.

Jeremy told Elena that it was the right think, that this man Jose was going to expose them.

As for the blood she told them that she lost her humanity, Jill rolls her eyes and scoffs.

Elena looks at her "What?"

"It's like Jeremy says, it was good for the Pack sounds to me that man and many other's would either kill them, or experiment is that what you wanted? Still want?" The black haired beauty shook her head "If I was in your shoes I would have done it as well to protect this Family."

Jeremy grabs her waist and looks at Elena "This is a very different situation, this Mutt could kill again."

Elena glares at them both "maybe. And you will find him, and you'll kill him. And I do not want to be apart of that. May I go?"

Jill growls but does not say anything, that woman was abandoning her home for what?

She didn't understand and didn't want to, if that woman wanted to run that was her choice, if she threatened to expose the Pack well...she wont get far.
