Jessie's POV

The next day, Kit wanted me and Derek too scout the area again. I agreed and so did Derek. This time though, Derek wouldn't let us split up and I growled. "You're not my father Derek. You can't tell me what to do." I started to run over to the opposite side when Derek appeared right in front of me. He smirked and leaned down closer to my face.

"Do you want me to get Sam to go with you then?" I blushed and flipped him off.

"That depends. Do you want to lose your balls in your sleep?" I sneered and walked around him. He laughed but let me go the opposite way. I admit it, I didn't really mind if Derek asked Sam to come with me but I didn't want to make any trouble for anyone.

The air was clear and I had heard nothing out of the ordinary. I sniffed the air one more time before making my way back to Derek. A salty scent filled the air and I headed towards it. It turned out to be another guy about Derek's age. He had brown hair and grey eyes that held immense pain in them. I ran up to him and finally smelt what he was. Another werewolf.

"Help." He chocked out before whimpering again. The guy was clutching his side and I saw more claw marks. I knelt towards him cautiously and removed his hand. The claw mark looked like the one on my thigh and I growled when I remembered Chase and Shane. I tore off my black hoodie and looked at the guy.

"This might hurt a little." I warned as I smashed my hoodie down where he was bleeding. He winced and muttered a line of curses before shutting his mouth again. I weighed out my options. I could try and carry him. But his side is bleeding, that'd just open it up. I could leave him here and get Sam. "I'm going to go get some help okay?" I waited till the guy nodded and then I was off.

Derek was already there at the cabin and stood up when he saw me. "Where's your hoodie?" I ignored him and ran to Sam's room. I burst open the door just as he took off his shirt. It took everything I had to not gawk and stare.

"Jessie! What the-"

"I need your help. Please." My voice sounded worn out and desperate. I was all of those things because I really didn't want that guy to die on me. Sam nodded and threw on a blue hoodie as I dragged him out of the cabin.

"What do you need help with?" Sam said as we neared the place of where I heard the guy's rapid breathing and smelt the salt from his blood.

"A guy." Sam's eyes widened and I blushed. "Not like that, I found a guy and he's bleeding. Badly." I started to run and when I saw the guy, all the color had rushed out of his face and something squeezed inside me.

I knelt back down next to him and started to rub his muscular arms. "It's going to be okay. My friend here is going to help you." Sam walked over slowly and asked me to remove the hoodie. I did and thankfully, the bleeding had slowed a little. Sam put his hands over the claw marks and said some words.

The guy's wounds and bruises started to disappear and some of the color returned to his face. I sighed in relief and patted Sam's arm. "Thanks."

Turning back to the guy, I couldn't help but noticed he looked somewhat familiar but shook it off. "Feeling better?" I said as I helped him sit up. He nodded still in shook from the healing probably and he looked at me.

"Loads." He stared at me for what seemed like an eternity before we heard a cough to our right. Sam had his arms crossed over his chest and nodded back to the place of the cabin. I nodded and looked at the guy.

"Are you sure you're going to be okay?" I said as I helped him to stand up. He was taller than me but the same height as Simon. His grey eyes captivated me. They were filled with happiness, determination and excitement.

"Yeah, thanks to you." The guy smiled and I blushed.

"Actually, he was the one that helped you." I pointed back at Sam and he just stared at the guy in front of me. I rolled my eyes at him and turned back to the guy who wasn't even paying attention to Sam's death stare.

"I'm Blaze." He held out his hand and I took it.

"Jessie."

"And I'm Sam. Now that you're feeling better, Jessie and I will be going. Have a good life." Sam grabbed my arm and started to drag me off with him. I tried yanking my arm out of his grip because it was beginning to hurt. He didn't let go until I growled at him. "What?"

"You're grip hurt me. Blaze is a werewolf. Don't you think we should take him back to the cabin?" I whispered very low so only Sam could hear. My hearing was stronger than most werewolves but that didn't mean that Blaze couldn't hear just as well. Sam lowered himself so he could whisper in my ear.

"I have a bad feeling about him. Can you just leave him here?" Sam pointed to where Blaze stood, watching us. He looked so much like a lost puppy that I really wanted to put him in my pocket and save him for later. I shook my head and glared at Sam.

"No. I know he can help us." Sam muttered curses as I walked over to Blaze. "Want to come with us?" I asked him. Blaze smiled and slugged an arm around my shoulder. He had a backpack on his shoulder and I looked at it questionably.

"I camp out here sometimes." He said sort of forcefully. Blaze didn't seem to be a bad guy at all. Yeah, he was tall, muscular and good looking but he wasn't intimidating. He had a certain air about him that made me feel like I could trust him.

Sam walked ahead of us and had his head slumped. I wanted to run over to him and ask him what was wrong but I knew that being nosy wasn't right. He'd tell me if he wanted. "I don't think you're boyfriend likes me very much." Blaze whispered in my ear and I blushed.

"Oh. He's not my boyfriend." I said very quickly and just as quietly. Blaze perked up and gave me another one of his dazzling smiles.

"Good. Then do I have a chance?" I looked at him like he had grown another ear. Really? We just met and now he wanted to be my boyfriend. This guy really was weird. I looked at him for awhile till I started to laugh. This was all just too much.

By the time I composed myself and wiped the tears from my eyes, we were already at the cabin. Something in the air caught my attention and I turned back to where we had come from. It smelt familiar but it was masked and hard to identify. Blaze pushed me on and I followed. I was just being paranoid.

"Are you insane?" Derek yelled at me. Kit and Dr. Fellows had gone out for the evening, looking for any possible leads or danger. So, that naturally left Derek in charge. He was towering over me as I sat down on his bed. As soon as I pulled Blaze into the cabin, Derek ran up to him and pinned him to the ground. He ordered Sam to look him up in his room and Sam groaned as he took Blaze to his room. He threw me over his shoulders and onto his bed.

"No." I rolled my eyes and looked over to Simon's bed. Chloe, Tori and Simon were all occupying the bed and all nodding along with Derek.

"Then why did you bring another werewolf in here? You could be putting us all in danger." He jabbed his finger at me and he scowled. I wanted to back down and just accept whatever was coming but I couldn't. There was something about Blaze that made me feel not so alone and weird. Derek was different. He was safe and like a big brother but he hadn't quite accepted his wolf side. Not yet.

"He was about to die, Derek! I couldn't just leave him there to die!" I said as I glared right back at him.

Derek crossed his arms over his chest and started down at me. "If it was me, I would have left him to die. Even if he was my brother or my best friend, if I thought he posed as a threat then I'd leave him there." He muttered and I heard Chloe suck in her breath.

I jumped up on the bed and put my hands on my hips. "Derek, he may be able to help us." I said firmly. Derek looked surprised and in his eyes I saw the battle. Chloe had told me once that Derek really wanted to know what it was like to be a werewolf and what he had to do to control it. He was curious but he was smart.

"Fine. He can stay here just until Dad and Lauren come back. If my dad says that that guy needs to leave, he leaves. If my dad says that he should be given a chance, fine. But one mistake, then he's out of here." I sighed and started to walk out of the room.

"Oh! You're also in charge of him." Derek sneered and I stuck my tongue out at him. Tori and Simon laughed. Chloe just shook her head and sighed.

Blaze's POV

Dad, Shane and I walked to a spot near the spot of the cabin to get situated. "Okay, Blaze. This is gonna hurt." Shane said as he turned to wolf from and took a good swipe out of my side. Dad patted my head and Shane changed back. He looked like he wanted to be anywhere else but here. He knelt down next to me and whispered, "She'll come. Promise. I'm sorry." Shane and my dad walked away without looking back. I whimpered and hoped that that girl would come. My side was hurting like a mother when I smelt her.

She smelt like roses and the trees. As she neared me I could see that she was just as gorgeous as she smelt. Her brown hair was pulled him in a ponytail and her blue eyes were studying me. Pain shot through my body and I mentally groaned. Jessie walked up to me cautiously before kneeling next to me.

"Help." I choked out and whimpered. I clutched my burning side and she noticed. She grabbed my hand and removed it to reveal the claw mark. Jessie growled. She ripped off her black hoodie and looked at me.

"This might hurt a little." She warned as she smashed the hoodie onto my side and I winced at the pain. I muttered a line of colorful words before shutting my mouth. "I'm going to go get some help okay?" Jessie waited till she saw me nod for her to run and go get some help.

I thought about my mission. Find Jessie, the female werewolf. Check. Make sure to befriend her and her friends. Pending. Take her and Derek out in the woods and call us with a howl. Pending. If needed bring Chloe but if not, it wouldn't matter. We just needed Derek. So what were Shane and Dad going to do with Jessie?

My blood started to soak my clothes and the hoodie that I was struggling to hold firmly. My breaths became ragged and I couldn't help but think that Shane was definitely right. Of course it would hurt! You thought that he was just going to make a small scratch? I could always hope.

I heard footsteps and smelt the scent of roses once again as Jessie and a guy a year older than me started to walked towards me. Jessie was blushing and the guy had a smirk on his face. He smelt like axe cologne (A/N I couldn't help it. It's one of my favorite colognes) and a little bit of spice. He clearly seemed attracted to her if he realized it or not. I had to change that quickly.

Jessie started to run towards me and her eyes shot with sadness. She knelt back down and started to rub my arms. It helped the pain just a little. "It's going to be okay. My friend here is going to help you." Her friend walked over to me and asked her to take off the hoodie. She did and the guy put his hands over my claw marks. Muttering some words, my wounds and started to disappear and the pain vanished.

Jessie muttered a thanks to the guy and helped me sit up. "Feeling better?" I nodded and was pretty shocked from what just happened. I knew that the guy wasn't Derek since I've seen photos but he was someone I never knew about. I didn't know that they had a shaman on their side!

I looked at Jessie and said, "Loads." Her blue eyes were gorgeous and I couldn't help but stare at them. We looked at each other awhile longer until the guy coughed. I didn't even look at him as Jessie turned and nodded.

"Are you sure you're going to be okay?" She said as she looked at me and helped me up on my feet.

"Yeah, thanks to you." I smiled and Jessie blushed. Everything was going on perfectly.

"Actually, he was the one that helped you." She pointed back at the guy behind her. I still didn't even look his way but could feel his eyes on me. Jessie roller her eyes and looked back at me.

"I'm Blaze." I held out my hand and she took it.

"Jessie."

"And I'm Sam. Now that you're feeling better, Jessie and I will be going. Have a good life." The guy-Sam said, grabbed her arm and started to drag her off with him. She tried to yank out of his grip but she couldn't. He finally let her go when she growled and they started to whisper about something. No doubt it was me because they were talking in very hushed voices.

They looked at me and I saw something pass through Jessie's eyes again before glaring at Sam. She said something and I heard Sam cuss as she walked over to me.

"Want to come with us?" I smiled and slugged an arm around her shoulders. I had my backpack on my shoulder and Jessie looked at it questionably.

"I camp out here sometimes." I lied and it came out not exactly how I wanted. It came out forcefully and that made Jessie study me.

Sam walked ahead of us and had his head slumped. Jessie looked at him with such longing and sadness that I felt bad for what my real motive was but I had to make my dad happy. "I don't think you're boyfriend likes me very much." I whispered in her ear and she blushed again.

"Oh. He's not my boyfriend." She said very quickly and just as quietly. I perked up at hearing this. I don't have to separate them. Good. I gave her my best smile that I could muster.

"Good. Then do I have a chance?" She looked at me like I was crazy but then she started to laugh. While she laughed, Sam looked back at us and he glared at me. I'm going to have a hard time making him trust me. I thought while Jessie laughed and laughed.

Jessie finally composed herself as we neared the cabin. She turned around and I knew that it was Shane and Chase. I could smell their scents but it was covered with the special mud that we had collected up in the mountains to hide our scent. I shoved her on, hoping she didn't go and look. She obeyed and walked towards the cabin.

As soon as I stepped foot into the cabin, another guy who I recognized was Derek pinned me to the ground. I didn't struggle as I saw it pointless too and let Sam take me to his room. When he locked us in his room, I sat on the bed.

"Don't get too comfortable." Sam growled. I raised my eyebrows and still sat on the bed. I could smell the hot coming right off of him and shook my head.

"But, Jessie said I could. And I pretty much follow her, not you." I sneered as I made a point by settling even more into the bed. Sam scowled and sat down in the desk chair. He studied me and I did the same.

Sam was taller than me and looked a bit stronger. Except, I didn't have that much competition. I was a werewolf. Meaning that I had a direct tie to Jessie's trust no matter what. I was one of her kind. If she was curious or needed help she's come to me. That's what Shane told me anyway. And he was probably the best womanizer I knew of.

"I'm going to watch your every move. So, don't think that you can be slaking off when no one is around. I'll be watching you in your sleep too." Sam looked so serious that I had to laugh.

"That's not creepy at all." I continued laughing and I even noticed that Sam had a little grin on his face.

"That's was...wasn't it?" He let out a small chuckle and then stopped. I stopped too and looked at the lock door. I heard Derek's muffled yelling and Jessie's. They were certainly yelling about me staying. Hands down. "You won't be staying. I barely know Derek but I know that he won't agree with you staying here." Sam said with a sly smile and I smiled back.

"Let's bet on it." I held out my hand for him to shake. Sam just shook his head and turned on his laptop. "You chicken?"

"No. But, I have another bet that I have to worry about." He blushed as he said it but before I could ask what the bet was about, we heard a knock on the door. We both got up and raced to the door. Jessie opened it with a victory smile on her face and said, "You get to stay."

Cliffy. You guys should be used to them by now right?

Review. Review. Review.
