Max POV

I walked deeper into the woods with Mom and Dad, aware that Fang was following us. We'll see if he still wants me back when he finds out I'm a monster. Jake went into his wolf form and stood there, waiting. Just as I was about to ask Mom how to hunt, she demonstrated.

"You understand?" she asked.

"Yep," I said. I looked for another deer. As soon as I spotted it, I ran... and lunged.

Fang POV

I followed Max into some woods. I watched as she talked with two people who looked a lot like her. Then, Jacob turned into a wolf. Was he an Eraser? Was she working for the School? Just as I thought this, the woman ran at extraordinary speeds and took a deer down. How, I don't know. Then I watched as Max replicated her nearly perfecty.

"Good job," the woman said, "Wait, I smell someone nearby. They smell a bit like bird though..."

"Oh no," Max said, "It's Fang. He followed us."

"He knows now," Jacob said, now a human again (although, he was shirtless this time).

"Maybe he'll back off," Max said, "I mean, he wants the old Max. Not the real one..."

"The blood-sucking monster one," the woman finished.

"Yeah," Max said, "The blood-sucking monster."

"Who may or may not have stopped aging," Jacob put in.

Max rolled her eyes, and continued taking deer down with Jacob (who was tackling them in wolf form) and the two people.

Max POV

I had so much fun hunting with Mom and Dad. It was just SO much fun. I thought it would take a while to get used to drinking blood and the taste of it, but it was relatively easy to adjust to. After hunting, I went with Mom and Dad to their house, where they had already brought my stuff.

"Wow," I said. Their house was nice. It wasn't overly large, but it wasn't the tiniest thing in the world either.

"You like it?" Mom asked.

"Yeah," I answered, "I love it."

Mom smiled and led me to my room. I was using the guest room temporarily, since they hadn't touched my room. They didn't feel like they should change it until I got a say in it. The view from any room in the house was absolutely amazing, and I knew that I was finally home. After a lot of working, and catching up with family, I went to sleep.

The blissful sleep I fell into was rudely snatched away. And when I awoke, I saw those dark obsidian eyes...
