When Isaac went home I was left in the living room with my mom looking disappointed.

"Maeby I don't know what to say to you. I cant believe you would do this, your always such a good girl. I am appalled…Youre grounded for-"

"Mom, you cant be serious right now."

"Mae, I am serious. Dead serious. Ever since we came here you've been acting out, it must be these boys or-"

"No. Im not going to listen to this. This is bullshit. You cant be a parent all of a sudden. Look, I have a lot of respect for you, but its not like you've mothered me at all for the passed 5 years. I mean, we've been in Beacon Hills for like a week or two and Ive seen you like three times? Ive spoken to you like twice. Cmon, youre more like a sister than a Mom. So don't turn around and act like youre appalled or like your going to ground me because its not going to happen. " I went upstairs and grabbed some clothes and my purse.

My mom yelled at me from downstairs, hysterical, "MAEBY, if you don't get down here RIGHT NOW…" I stuffed my clothes and toothbrush into a bad and headed downstairs, arms full.

"What Mom, What?!"

"You leave this house and you can NEVER…" I stormed out of the house before she could finish, my eyes full of tears.

I walked aimlessly for a long time, not paying attention to where I was going, I let my feet carry me and looked ahead without seeing. My mother and I had always been cordial but never close, but we had never fought like this.

When I finally snapped out of it I was in the woods, I went to the Nemeton, half hoping to see Morrigan there, but she wasn't, it was empty and I was cold. I went touched the Nemeton and tried to gather some energy or warmth but my head was all over the place and I couldn't focus enough to make it work. I was getting more and more frustrated by the moment. And the worst part was, I knew it was all my fault. I had gotten myself into a mess, now I would have to live in it. I decided the warmest place to go would be the old Hale house, so I stayed the night there and covered myself in the pile of clothes for warmth.

The next morning I didn't go to school because I figured there was no point. I hated Beacon Hills. Nothing but trouble had come from here. It was time to leave. I gathered three changes of clothes and left the rest in a corner of the house before I went to the Nemeton one last time before I left. This time when I touched the tree I begged it for energy. But there was still no response. I couldn't even feel the steady beat of warmth as I usually could. Maybe I lost whatever special powers I once had. It didn't matter now though. I ignored the sound of my grumbling stomach as I left the clearing and walked deeper into the woods and away from Beacon Hills. I walked for a few hours before I got too tired and too hungry to walk on, so I sat at the foot of a tree and closed my eyes.

When I opened them again it was nighttime and I was no longer alone, I couldn't see them as much as sense them near me. I could hear a twig snap and leaves rustle. I didn't move and tried to shallow my breathing so that they couldn't hear it. It was too late though and I knew it. I pair of glowing red eyes in the distance appeared and I knew my only chance was to run, fast, as fast as I could. So I left the few things I had brought and ran, jumping over rocks and ducking under trees as I ran. I tried zigging and zagging through the woods as I had heard somewhere could throw off a rabid dog, when I looked behind me, the eyes continued to bound closer and closer, faster than I ever could run. I tripped on a root as I was looking back and fell crashing to the ground, as soon as I hit it was all over. I felt the Alpha come to me and take a huge bite out of my stomach. I thought he would eat me alive. I felt organs rupture inside me, my clothes became warm and sticky with blood, and the eyes looked into mine for the longest moment of my life, before blinking once and disappearing from whence it came.

I looked down at my stomach and saw the red circle grow bigger with each beat of my heart, I was losing blood and who knows what other vital fluids. My ribs were certainly cracked or broken and it was getting harder to breath every second. I took my eyes off my body and into the sky, just as a cloud fell over the moon, and my eyes closed.
