When I woke up I found Jake sprawled out across my floor, snoring softly. I hadn't noticed before that he had dark circles under his eyes. He seemed so peaceful when he slept. I quietly got up and went to my closet. Jake was deep in sleep so I didn't bother leaving to change. I was surprised that I was totally refreshed for the first time in a long time. I slept peacefully the whole night. I guess Jacob had more of an affect on me than I thought.

I stepped around Jake to leave the bedroom. The house was dead silent. I took a glance at the clock. It was already 11; Charlie had left to work hours ago. There was a note addressed to me on the counter. I went into the pantry and retrieved a granola bar, I nibbled on it as I read it.

I might not be home until late. We gathered up some rangers and hunters to track down those wild animals. Don't worry about me. Stay away from the woods. Go visit Jake or something but keep it close to town.

P.S. Don't worry about dinner. I'll get take out.

Oh no.

I had almost forgotten about the deaths. If the pack had destroyed Laurent that means the pack was killing everybody else. Leaning against the counter, I sunk down to the floor. It felt like I had the air knocked right out of me.

My best friend was a killer.
