This chapters short too, sorry again. Please review, it makes me feel loved xD

I promise the chapters will get longer and, more importantly better, soon.

Happy reading!

MAX P.O.V

"Iggy, what is this? I mean, it tastes like chicken. But people say that about all types of meat, right? Personally I don't care what type of meat it is. As long as its not, like, rabid. But, sometimes-"

"NUDGE!" Gazzy yelled. Simultaneously, Iggy clamped his hand over Nudges ever-moving mouth.

"Yes, Nudge, it is most definitely chicken." I said wearily. Squirrels are kind of like chicken, right? I thought to myself bitterly.

I picked up my food again, (What? You think we have the luxury of silverware? Count your blessings.) but I caught Angel grinning evilly.

Oh damn.

"Hey Nudge?" she called sweetly.

"Yup?" she said, massaging her jaw which Iggy had only just released.

"Max just had a very interesting thought… You see—"

But she was cut off by a screech form Nudge. We all spun around and peered through the mouth of the cave.

Erasers.

Erasers 3000.

Inwardly, I groaned. How did they keep finding us? Always, they were chasing us. Where did they come from? Couldn't we get a moments peace?

These new guys could seamlessly morph from Human to Wolf, but could still retail their wolf-like abilities while in human form. They were stronger, faster, and altogether bad news.

They also outnumbered us at least 10-1. Do the math.

Just as I screamed "U and A!", I saw the leader whip out a gun.

For the second time in the past 5 minutes, I thought Oh damn. Only this time, the consequences were far more serious. Like, you know, death.

I didn't have time to let myself freak out. I saw him grin, well, wolfishly, cock the gun, and pull the trigger. Right before the shot found its target (my arm), I turned to Fang.

"Protect them. Don't fight." Even as I said these words I sensed the shot drawing nearer.

"Will… return." I managed, just as the dart met my forearm, and I heaved a sigh and succumbed to the darkness.

Please review. ;
