When Jinx woke up the next morning her stomach growled. She heard laughter to her left and she looked over to find Rob in his human form. She rolled over onto her back to look at him and meowed. "You're acting like a kitten," he told her with an arched eyebrow. She rolled back over and stretched before flashing into her human form. "It's too early in the morning to act like a vicious cat that I am," she pointed out. "And besides I'm hungry," she finished. Rob nodded and put a tray with a dead rabbit on the bed in front of her. "You get anything on my sheets and I'll skin you," he warned her pointing a strict finger at her. She grinned and flashed into cub form. "Yes Papa Wolf whatever you say," she sent him and she dug in. Rob laughed shaking his head as he watched. Zach appeared in bear form holding another dead bunny in his mouth. Jinx's eyes grew wide and eager. "Damn I thought you'd be hungry. Oh well I'll leave it for some fox," he said in her head as he contemplated disappearing. Agile as she was she leapt from her place on the bed and sank her teeth in the dead bunny dangling from Zach's mouth. She hung in midair. Zach's chuckling echoed in her head. "Wow you really are hungry. Alright cub hang on," he said as he gently put her back on the bed releasing the bunny. She laid down munching away. Zach flashed into human form and looked at Rob. "Did you leave her alone when you went hunting?" He asked. Rob shook his head. "Artemis came by and brought a new bow and Jinx's arrows," he said indicating to a corner where a bow was leaning against the wall. "She said she'd watch the cub while I got us something to eat," he told Zach who nodded. Jinx licked her paws as she finished both bunnies. Rob and Zach raised their eyebrows in surprise. "Shut up I told you I was hungry," she sent to them both. "We have some time before we get to the next venue. You want to go out and stretch your legs?" Zach asked. Jinx flashed into human form with a smirk. "Don't lie you just want to try and beat me again," she told him. His eyes narrowed but then let up as he nodded. She shrugged and looked at Rob. "You go ahead Zach will keep an eye on you," he told her she grinned and took hold of Zach's arm as he flashed them out of there.

Jinx jumped on Zach's chest and he lay on his back trying to catch his breath. He put a huge bear paw on her back trying to keep her still. "I did not know cubs had this much energy," he said tiredly. Jinx rolled over trying to push his heavy paw off her. "I wouldn't really know. But are you giving up again?" She asked back. Zach rolled over holding her against his chest then putting her on her back with a paw still holding her down. "From where I'm standing it looks like I win," he pointed out. Releasing all her pent up energy Jinx pushed his paw off and he flew back against a tree. Jinx stood in front of him in human form and grinned tilting her head to the side. "But see from where I'm standing it looks like I win," she replied. Zach flashed into human form and stared at her in disbelief. "How on earth did you do that?" He asked. Jinx shrugged and helped him up. "I don't know I'm just a little bit special so I can do those sorts of things," she told him. He nodded slowly looking at her suspicious. "Oh you're special alright," he agreed. She stuck her tongue out at him. When she felt a presence behind her she turned at growled. Zach seemed confused but followed suit turning into his bear form. A second later Rob appeared in his human form. Zach nudged Jinx's leg hard enough to throw her off balance before he returned to human form. "Well that's an interesting new talent," he said aloud. Rob tilted his head as Jinx shot Zach a harsh look. "What are you talking about?" He asked. "Jinxie here knew someone was coming," he informed Rob. Rob raised an eyebrow. "Really? And here I thought you were just a cute little cub."

"Does Edric know about this trick of yours?" Rob asked. Jinx shrugged. "Edric get your panther ass over here," Zach called. Edric appeared arms crossed over his bare chest with a frown. "What do you want bear?" He demanded. Zach nodded towards Jinx. "Cub's got a new trick. She knows when someone's about to appear," Rob told him. "And she can focus all her powers into bursts," Zach added. Edric raised an eyebrow at him. "Ever consider that you're just weak?" He asked. Zach growled. "Watch it Eddie. The bear eats the cat," he threatened. Edric waved him away. "I've heard that God doesn't agree with most stomachs so you probably shouldn't try," he replied turning to face Jinx. She could read his thoughts and feelings and knew that these new talents were making him uneasy. "Ric," he called before saying anything else. When Ricardo appeared Rob and Zach looked at each other confused. Ricardo ignored them and had a mental conversation with Edric. Jinx cleared her throat and gave the two of them a pointed look as in their heads she said, "you forget I can hear you. To help solve your dilemma and ease my body guards thoughts you might as well tell them what you do know." Surprised at first they both jumped at hearing her then nodded. "What's going on?" Rob asked. "This is my brother Ricardo. He's a vampire," Edric said introducing them. Zach raised an eyebrow. "And he's here why?" He asked. Ricardo stepped forward. "Your charge is unique," he began. "I always knew you were special," Zach mumbled sarcastically elbowing Jinx in the ribs. She growled at him. "How is she unique exactly?" Rob asked suspicious. "She is both animal and vampire. She's hunted by both kinds for it," Ricardo answered. Both Rob's and Zach's jaws dropped as they turned to stare at Jinx. She allowed her fangs to grow as she smiled to drive the point home. Jinx got the tingling feeling of someone about to appear and turned to face it. A grey haired, tan, and very tall god appeared. He had a clean cut beard and shining blue eyes. He wore trouser pants and a button down shirt with a tie. Edric and Ricardo's jaws dropped now at the sight of him. "Zeus?" Jinx asked reading off the twins minds.

"Call me Grandpa Z. I came to answer some on of the questions these two dunces can't answer," Zeus replied nodding his head to the twins. "You can relax Rob Wolf and Zach Bear. You've done well so far guarding the cub. It's those two morons who should worry. Dumping her off on you without any explanation," Zeus growled at Edric and Ricardo. They visibly cringed making Jinx smile immediately liking Zeus. "Come my kitten, sit by me," Zeus said patting a chair beside him that appeared out of nowhere. Jinx wrinkled her nose at the pink color of it and with a single thought turned it lime green. Zeus beamed proudly. "Good girl," he praised. She sat down with a smile but frowned when she tried to recline. She built up her powers and popped the chair open. Zeus clapped. "Very powerful my kitten. I'm impressed," he complimented. Jinx looked at him slightly confused. He pat her hand. "You are certainly special Jinx. Not only are you puma and vampire with all powers granted to them. But also immortal with power of the gods," Zeus told her. "If she is immortal why does she need us?" Zach asked. Zeus nodded understanding where the question came from. "Because she is immortal in the sense that she will not grow old and die. She is not immortal from those out to kill her though. She can die but not from natural causes," Zeus explained. "I know why vampires hunt us and why we occasionally will kill them but why are they after her?" Rob asked. Zeus sighed. "Because the Fates are malicious women and let an oracle prophesize her coming. It was also the life thread they spun for her," he explained sadly. Jinx thought for a moment. "And you cannot mess with the Fate they've already spun?" She asked. Zeus nodded. "Can I speak with them?" She asked. Zeus laughed. "No for I fear the fury you may unleash upon them would end badly," he replied making her frown. "So how did I become this? My parents are dead therefore they themselves were not immortal. Also I'm sure they were neither vampire or animal," Jinx said. "You're right. You're theirs and not theirs," Zeus began. Jinx put her hands up. "Grandpa Z don't speak to me in oracle. Please a straight answer," she asked. Zeus smiled lovingly at her. "My kitten you were born to them and raised as long as they could by them but you are the Gods child," he informed her. She tilted her head confused. "Why do you think all of the Gods besides these two numbskulls come immediately and offer protection and help?" Zeus pointed out. She shrugged. "Because you are not just one of our child but all of ours. In a way I really am your grandfather," he explained. Jinx along with everyone else's jaw dropped.
