Well here's the first interlude chapter. We'll be going back and forth between interludes and regular chapters for another chapter or two, probably until Jason is back in charge of the story, and one of them will show us what's going on with Tori then we'll stick in the past a while, before we do any other interludes.

Interlude 1: At the hospital

I stopped my story and studied my audience. Jade was sitting next to Tori's bed, Cat was sitting on the other side, and there were two girls at the foot of Tori's bed. Her family was outside, letting her pack be with her, though I knew her dad was waiting to grill me on how his daughter got into this situation when I was watching over her. The two girls at the foot of Tori's bed were Amanda and Nyssa. Amanda was a blonde with light green eyes, stood about five and half feet tall, and had a butterfly tattoo on her left hand. She was wearing a t shirt and jeans. Nyssa on the other hand was wearing a strapless black dress, had black hair that was down her back, and purple eyes. Anyone who saw her would say she was inhuman, and lately I've started to wonder if that's not the case.

I breathed deeply and said "That was Tori's first two days at the school. It was also back before the pack was formed." Cat coughed to get my attention and I asked "Yes Cat?"

She smiled sadly and said "You left out a few things." I snorted and raised an eyebrow basically asking what. She smiled and said "You left out the fact you and Tori nearly kissed, that you and Jade got into a huge argument in the middle of the hallway, and that Rex bit you."

Nyssa and Amanda blinked surprised I left out so much and I said "None of that was relevant to Tori other than the almost kiss." Cat giggled and Jade growled. I raised an eyebrow and said "Also what about the fact I left out that you lit Jade's pants on fire." Cat blushed and Jade glared at her then I chuckled. I glanced at Tori in the bed and said softly "Wake up soon Tori, the entire pack misses you, yes that includes Jade." Jade snorted and looked away as I smiled slightly then stroked Tori's cheek. Her heart rate monitor sped up slightly and I smiled sadly then turned to Jade and said "You know she considers you at least a good friend even if you were nipping at her throat."

Jade snorted and said "An alpha has to keep the other bitches in line." I snorted and she said "Yeah I know the only one who actually acts like a bitch is me, but that's only because Tori and Cat are too nice." I raised an eyebrow and wondered if she knew the snort was more about her saying she was the alpha than calling herself a bitch. She saw my look and "Oh you bastard." I smirked at her and ducked as she lunged at me.

I caught her over my shoulder and said "Behave." She folded her arms and I felt her glare on the back of my head then said "I think I'll keep you on my shoulder a while." Nyssa chuckled and Amanda looked surprised. I smirked and said "So should I get back to what led to us becoming a pack or just some stories from back before?"

Amanda said "What's up between you and Cat?" I grinned thinking about my kitten as I called her and Cat saw my grin then mouthed 'No.' I grinned bigger and Amanda said "I sense gossip." I snorted at that and shook my head. She raised an eyebrow and said "So you're not going to tell a story about you and Cat?"

I snorted and said "No I'm going to tell a story about me and Cat, which takes place starting the day after me and Tori had our heart to heart about miss dark mean and scary here." I yelped when something smacked me in the ass. I turned my head to look at Jade who was smirking. I said "Do that again and I am not going to be happy with you." She smirked and stuck out her tongue which I mimed biting. She laughed darkly and gave me a challenging look. I raised an eyebrow and said "Just wait till we next kiss Jade."

She sighed and said "Whatever just get on with your story about you and Cat. After that it's my turn to talk." I nodded and yawned then set her back in her chair and leaned on the wall. I said "It started like any other day…"

well hope you liked our little interlude and the interaction between the pack, next chapter is in the works and after that one more interlude where jade takes over then another chapter or two, then back to Jason then staying in the past for a while hopefully followed by a look at what's up with Tori and the pack again. Anyway hope you enjoy and please review, you know because I can't tell what I did or didn't do if you don't review.
