(A/N) Alright. Action scene coming!

Fang POV

Things weren't weird between me and Max. I know, I was shocked too. We talked the way we had before everything happened. We acted as though we never butted heads in the first place.

Things however, were weird with my mom. Something just wasn't right. She would have hushed conversations and then as soon as she saw or heard me she'd quickly excuse herself and hang up. What was she hiding? It wasn't like she would be afraid to hide her new boyfriends; she seemed to rub that in my face, knowing how much I hated how slutty she acted.

"Nick?" I jerked my head up to the teacher. "Is everything alright? You seem distracted."

I nodded curtly, and she looked at me expectantly. I held her gave levelly, and she sighed and prompted me, "The answer? To problem twenty-one?"

The bell rang and she asked me to stay. "Nick, is something bothering you? I'm the guidance counselor here and if-"

"I need to get to my next class." I fled the room quickly. She didn't need to be sticking her nose into my issues. She doesn't understand, and she wouldn't care.

My final class whizzed by, and I was totally ready to leave. "Fang? Will you walk home with me?"

I turned to Max and nodded. "Nudge is catching a ride to Iggy's house, and yeah…" She trailed off, eyes dark as she glared at Sam who winked at her.

I snarled at him, and he flinched. I sounded so animalistic it nearly scared me. I growled something… not nice and his eyes flashed with fear. He walked away slowly. "Let's walk." I headed off in the direction toward home.

We were talking casually, when we passed this one spot. It was a dark, almost alley way type thing that's stereotyped in movies and books. And then it happened.

Beautiful men and equally attractive women stepped out of the shadows. Max stopped and looked at them, almost admiringly. A female purred, "Come here, sweetie." Looking entranced, Max obeyed.

"Max? What are you doing?" I snapped.

She turned to me with this almost goofy smile, "Saying hi to the nice lady!"

As I paced after Max slowly, snarling suddenly erupted, hurting my ears. Max watching in horror as the woman's jaw elongated, making her once stunning facial features twisted and grotesque.

"Get them!" I spun around and saw Jeb. I screamed curses as I punched and kicked these horrible creatures.

What was Jeb doing? I was strong, and I knew it, but these monsters they were supernaturally strong. Probably because they weren't human. I saw Max being shoved into a car, and I began to panic.

I glanced around, looking for something I could use to defend myself. I saw a beer bottle. I grimaced before picking it up and smashing it over one of the thing's head. It howled and crumpled to the ground.

Great. Now there was glass all over the floor. I launched myself after Max, and saw that the door was still open. I ran over and slammed it hard. Perfect. It hit the wolf looking thing and it too let out a mournful sound.

I yanked Max out of the car and shouted, "We need to run!"

That's when it happened. Two figures blurred past us. Angel and Gazzy with wings unfurled. Wait. Wings? Suddenly, Angel let out a sweet laugh. I watched in shock as everyone began to stare at her. "Erasers? Jeb, you should know better! The last time you tried to take me and Gazzy back, bad things happened. Don't you remember?"

Jeb's eyes widened in fear, and he turned to run. "Oh, no. You're staying." She repeated herself, her voice becoming cold and aged beyond her years. "Now, who helped you?"

After a pause, Angel said, "Oh. I see."

Something hit me in the back of the head, and I fell to the floor, bleeding. I saw Gazzy rush over and begin fighting against the thing. An eight year old who was nearly equally matched in agility in speed as a wolf thing. That's something you don't see everyday.

"Everyone!" Angel called. I snapped my head in her direction, amused when I saw Max do the same. "Oh, not you. Everyone else. You're going to go to sleep now. And you're going to leave them alone now, okay?" Her voice took on that same creepy tone as before.

She walked up to Max and said, "You two can come with us. We have some stuff to tell you."

(A/N) So how many of you are shocked?
