"Your brother?" said Eric. "I've been keeping you rom family?"
"By marriage," said Autumn.
"Come on baby sister. It's time to go home. Everyone is so excited about you coming home," he said.
"No," she said.
"Wait, if she is a fugitive, how come we hadn't heard about it?" asked Sookie.
"His death was ruled an accident," said Autumn.
"But we all know you did it. Your scent was all over the place," said the man. "She killed out pack master."
Alcide looked shocked. Most people that went against the Alpha didn't win. And Autumn was small compared to most wolves.
"Self-defense," said Autumn.
"Bullshit!" shouted the man.
"You wouldn't know, William!" she shouted. "You were never there and mom was too drunk to care!"
"Oh, god," said Sookie.
"What is it?" asked Sam.
"I know what happened to make her leave," she said.
"What was it?" asked Alcide.
"She was…" started Sookie.
"SHUT UP! shouted Autumn. "Just shut up!"
"Come on you stupid cunt!" shouted William.
He made a move towards Autumn. Eric growled and moved in front of him.
"This is wolf business, Eric!" shouted Bill. "I command you, as your king, to stand down!"
Against his will Eric stepped out of the way. William continued towards Autumn. This time it was Alcide who got in his way.
"Move Herveaux," said William. "This isn't your fight."
"Like hell it isn't," he said.
"Family business," said William. "And you aint in our pack."
"Doesn't matter," said Alcide. "You aint gonna touch her."
William growled, Alcide growled, and Autumn growled. Sam moved in front of Sookie, Sookie grasped the back of his shirt in fear and anticipation.
"I'm not scared of you, Herveaux," said William.
"You should be," replied Alcide.
Autumn looked between the two growling men. They were seconds from ripping each other apart. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She slowly backed her way down the hallway. When she was close to the back door she shifted and ran out the door and into the woods.
"Where did she go?" asked Sookie looking down the hall.
"She's run off again," said William. "It's what she's good at. It's only a matter of time before I find her again."
William turned around and walked out of the house. Alcide relaxed his stance and sniffed the air.
"I've got her scent. I can follow her," he said.
"No. She will always come back," said Eric.
"How do you know that?" asked Sam.
"She's been doing it for twelve years," he replied. "Don't expect her into work for a few days."
"You're not gonna hurt her," said Sam.
"She won't be back for at least three days," said Eric disappearing from the apartment.
"What do we do now?" asked Sookie.
"We wait," said Sam.
Sookie nodded her head as she followed the men out of the apartment. Sam locked up the house before he left. When she came back, if she came back, she could get him to open it up again.
