They drifted off to sleep peacefully, reconnected with each other and their bond stronger than ever. Their little pack was together again and they were grateful for it but it out Kevin on edge.

Whatever happens from here, they need to be prepared.

Alistar has been searching for hours now and is growing weary as well as irritated and then just out of the corner of his eye, he catches a pile of blonde and rusty red and moves forward, indeed finding Nazz.

"You look pathetic. Where is the red head and his brother? If Eddward did this to you, surely they are with you."

"It wasn't... Eddward. Kevin did this..." she said, trying to get up but failing and collapsing on the ground again.

"What?!" Alistar growls "then what use are you to me?!" he asks, standing up and kicking her into a tree.

Nazz cried out as her back hit the tree and she collapsed on the ground again. "I'm sorry! I can't get to Eddward without Kevin killing me. He's strong her than I am..."

Alistar growls and storms forward picking her up by her neck. "You are useless. You always were. We had to track you down after the attack and then none of the experiments took to you and when one finally did we had to keep injecting you because it wears off too fast. Your body is weak, you are weak. I don't know why I thought you would be up for this task" he growls throwing her again.

"I can't hurt Kevin... I can't! I care about him too much..." she tries to get her feet under her and lift herself up but everything hurts and she's pretty sure she heard a solid crack with the last hit on her leg.

"Because you are weak!" Alistar growls back handing her. "He feels nothing for you! And yet you can't seem to do anything to change that!" He says throwing her

"You don't decide who you fall in love with. It's predetermined before you're born. I can't change that!"

"Bull shit! The thing you call 'love' is purely overwhelming fondness for another person. True love does not exist" Alistar hisses, picking her up by her neck again.

"You can kill me, it doesn't change the fact that you're wrong... You're wrong about love, you're wrong about Eddward, you're wrong about everything!" Nazz gathered as much energy as she could and lashed out at him with her three good feet. Catching her claws in his arm and chest, she ripped flesh and blood poured out. Once she hit the ground she scrambled and was gone into the woods. She had to find a place to recover.

Meanwhile at the safe house...

"C'mon please!" Marie begs Kevin who is staring her down.

"Why?"

"Because I missed him and I wanna and it will do him good to hunt with someone other than you." Marie says.

"Mon Cher, let her. It will give us alone time" Eddward points out.

"Pleeeeaaasssse Kevin!" Daniel begged, hugging his arm and staring at him with his big green eyes. Kevin looked down at him and sighed. He loved Daniel and would do anything for him and some more alone time with Eddward is always a good thing... As long as Marie is careful... "Fine, BUT watch his leg!"

Marie nods picking him up and swinging him around "yes!" Eddward chuckles discreetly grabbing the larger ginger's ass.

Kevin tried to not react to the grope but it did turn him on. Damn Eddward... "Be careful, Marie! Rest if you need to, Danny!" Marie and Daniel nod and run off, leaving Eddward and Kevin alone. "What ever should we do with all this extra time…?"

"You're an ass... What's wrong with you?"

"Whatever do you mean, my love?" Eddward snickers.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about!" Kevin grins, pushing Eddward back into a wall. "You wanted my undivided attention?"

Eddward chuckles as the wolf wraps his hand around his throat "I did indeed, good sir, and it looks as though I have it." He says pulling the ginger's sweat pants forward so their hips connected. Kevin moans a little before smirking and pulling Eddward towards him by his throat, connecting their lips in a harsh kiss.

"Daniel, stay closer to me, honey. Your brother will kill me if you don't" Marie scolds lightly.

"What are we gonna do? What are we gonna hunt?!" Daniel asked excitedly.

"Anything you want to!" Marie chuckles.

"I want a challenge, Marie!"

"Hmmmmm let's hunt a buck then" Marie suggests.

"Where do we find them?"

"We track them" Marie says, pointing to some deer tracks.

"I just smell them out right? I just got good at smelling them out and telling the difference between animals."

Marie nods "Yeah, but you wanna pay attention to the tracks and be quick and quiet about it too" she instructs.

Daniel nods in affirmative and starts to track, but every time he would get close he would lose track of it or he would make a noise that would scare it off. After the 5th escaped buck, Daniel plopped down on his butt and let out a frustrated cry, his tail hitting the ground in agitation and his ears back.

Marie come up "Sweetie, you're being too impatient. Don't get so excited when you get close, just stay calm and stealthy then after you kill it, get excited!" Marie says trying to help.

"I can't do it! You, Kevin, and Eddward make it look so easy!"

"Oh c'mon Danny, you can't compare yourself to us. Eddward and I have several hundred years under our belt and your brother has several years on you, too. It just takes practice… C'mon, one more try!" she says encouragingly.

Puffing his cheeks out slightly and pouting "I don't wanna but fine." He started sniffing around until he caught the whiff of something tangy and metallic-like. 'Blood' he thought. He followed the scent, it was getting stronger by the second and he was getting excited. Suddenly, he looks up and sees a blonde woman lying in a pool of her own blood, hardly breathing.

"Whatcha find there Danny?" Marie asks noticing the little wolf staring at something.

"A lady, she's hurt"

"What?!" Marie exclaims running forward and looking at her. "She smells familiar..." she says as she looks the blonde over.

"She is the one who attacked Eddward... She looks really hurt." Daniel said sadly.

Marie sighs and shrugs "Oh well, let's go Danny."

"Marie... We can't just leave her here…"

"Daniel... Sweetie, she is an enemy... She tried to kill Eddward" she says gently, trying to get him to understand.

"But I remember her... She was trapped like me..."

"Yes but you didn't try to kill Eddward, baby boy" she points out.

"I wanna see if she's dead..." Daniel trotted carefully over.

"Danny stop! Get over here..." she says following him.

Daniel ignores her and goes over to the blonde's body, sniffing and trying to figure out if she is really dead or not. When he couldn't figure it out, he called to Marie. "Marie! I think she's dead! Can we eat her?"

"No, you don't know where she's been. She could be dirty!" Marie exclaims.

Daniel pouts before looking back to Nazz and whining a little bit. He puts his front feet on her chest and pushes down causing Nazz to cough and wheeze loudly. Daniel gets startled and runs over her to Marie, causing her to cry out in pain, and hid behind Marie.

Marie sighs "I told you not to mess with her. C'mon Danny, lets go home"

"But she's hurt, shouldn't we help her?"

"No, sweetie. She just tried to kill Eddward" Marie reminds him.

"I remember her at the compound. She was pretty nice to me and didn't hurt me when everyone else did. She talked to me when we were in the cages. I just remembered her face..."

Marie sighs "But she tried to kill Edd…" Daniel gave her a pleading look, leveling his big green eyes on her. "Oh c'mon Danny… don't look at me like that..."

"Please Marie... She was always nice to me. I can't be mean in return."

Marie sighs "Well... Alright..." She groans

"Thanks Marie!" Daniel smiles happily. Marie carefully picks up the woman. "You are telling Kevin and Eddward though" she says sternly.

"'Kay!"

They arrive back at the house and Marie carries her in, thanking God that Eddward and Kevin are nowhere to be found…Yet. Eddward is passed out from the evenings strenuous activities and only wakes up for a moment when the door opens. "Mon Cher, go check?" he asks falling back to sleep.

"Fine..." Kevin groans and puts some pants on before walking out into the living room. Seeing Marie and Daniel hunched over a figure on the sofa, he walks over and jumps away when he sees the face. "Why is she HERE?! Are you crazy?! Eddward is going to flip shit!" Kevin harshly whispers!

Marie sighs "I know! Explain that to him!" she hisses, pointing to Danny who sticks his tongue out at her.

"You have lost your ever loving MIND... What is wrong with you? She tried to kill Eddward! TWICE!"

"But she was nice to me and she helped keep me company at the compound! I didn't remember at first but I finally did after the last time I saw her, she was in the cages with me and would talk to me when they would inject us with things to help calm me. She was nice to me so I had to be nice to her!"

Kevin groans and sighs in defeat... "You're telling Eddward then. I'm not getting blamed for this."

"'Kay!" Daniel smiles.

When Kevin doesn't come back, Eddward gets suspicious and gets up. Throwing pants on and grabbing a knife, he headed out to the hallway. Hearing voices, he follows them to the living room seeing it's just his mate, his little brother and Marie. He steps in, still holding the knife "What's going on?"

"Danny has something to tell you" Kevin immediately says, pointing to the little red pup sitting on Kevin's feet. Daniel eyes the vampire, wondering how to start. Suddenly, Nazz started to wake up and groaned in pain.

Eddward cocks an eyebrow looking past everyone while Marie discreetly gets behind the love seat and just as she expected "WHY IS SHE IN MY FUCKING HOUSE!" Eddward growls tightening his grip on his knife with a murderous glint in his eyes.

"That's a very good question. Ask him and her. THEY brought her here." Kevin backed out of the way.

Eddward stares down the little wolf, not seeing Marie anywhere "Why. Is. She. In. My. House?" he asks calmly. His eyes turning purple with suppressing rage having to remind himself Daniel is a child. Marie comes out of her hiding place "Now Edd..." she says, trying to calm him down "Do. Not. Marie." he growls. "WHY? Explain now!"

"We found her in the woods and she is really hurt. I thought she was dead at first and Marie said we couldn't eat her. I remember her, Eddward! I remember her from the compound! Our cages were right next to each other's. She would talk to me after they mean doctors would inject us with stuff. She would always be super nice to me when everyone else didn't care or would be mean. I needed her when they took my Mom away! Please help her! I don't have my healing abilities yet otherwise I would. I'm sorry..." Daniel gave a pleading looking towards Eddward, hoping it has the same effect that it does with Marie and Kevin.

"... She may stay..." Eddward sighs "but!" Eddward says holding his finger up "she is not my responsibility. I will have nothing to do with her!" he says walking back to his room a dark cloud over his head.

After hearing the bedroom door shut, Kevin turned to Daniel "Thanks, you know I share a bed with him, right? Where am I gonna sleep tonight?"

Ignoring him, Daniel looks to Nazz "Kevin, she needs help getting better."

"Tough shit. Half of those wounds are from me! She got her ass into this, she can get out."

"That's not what we were taught, Kevin..."

"I don't care!"

"Kevin..."

"Daniel… No!"

Daniel level a glance at Marie "Marie..."

"Oh no! That's the same look that got me into this!" Marie says shaking her head "You don't know what he's like when he is like this, kid..."

"But I can't heal her myself!"

"I don't feel like getting stabbed though!" Marie whines knowing that when Eddward gets like this he tends to get a little too friendly with a knife.

Daniel turns back to Kevin "You go ask him to help heal her. I ain't goin' and getting hit or stabbed. No thanks." Kevin snapped.

Marie snickers "I don't think he will let anyone in there but you right now, Kevin."

"Why are you trying to get me hurt? I've been nice to you since you came back!"

"I'm not!" Marie says defensively "I'm just stating what you and I both know, dude..."

"But I don't wanna... damnit!" Kevin whines but gets up and walks to the bedroom. He knocks first before opening the door "It's me, don't stab me!" Eddward growls and burrows further into the sheets.

"I know you're angry, I am too. But if you don't go and stop her bleeding, she's gonna bleed all over the couch."

"Dually noted. I will get a slip cover for the couch" Eddward growls.

"Edd..."

"No."

"If she dies, you're gonna be the one that has to explain to Danny why you didn't help her. He knows you are the only one here with medical knowledge. He can't heal yet..."

"I told him she is not my responsibility, I did not bring her here. She tried to kill me... twice!" Eddward laughs in out rage.

"How many times did I try to kill you and you still took me in. Look, normally I wouldn't care but since she helped Danny get through the Hell he went through then I'm willing to hear her out. Maybe she has some information that will help. If she was held with Danny, then she may know more concrete information." Kevin gets up "if you don't want to help then fine, but since she helped Danny, I owe it to her to at least get her on the road to recovery before leaving her to fend for herself."

He leaves the room and goes back to the living room. "I don't know if that worked or not but let's try dressing some of her wounds a bit. You can practice on your healing..."

"Is Eddward mad?" Daniel asked, sadly.

"Yeah, you could say that, but it's okay." Kevin picked him up and Daniel's little arms and legs wrapped around him in a tight hug. "You're okay, brat" Kevin laughed.

Eddward sighs and gets up knowing Kevin is right and catches the last bit before coming out "Do not touch my medical supplies" he says walking into the room.

"Well, then it's a good thing you came out then."

"Out of the room so I can work on her in peace." Eddward snip,s Marie knowing that tone exits the room and going into the kitchen.

"Come on, Danny. Let's go have fun outside, k?" Kevin carried him outside to play some training games. Leaving the cranky vampire to do his worse, but best, work in peace.
