I thought Maddy and Shannon needed a chapter so here it is. I don't own Wolfblood.

Maddy lay on her bed arms crossed, she was waiting for Shannon to come around. As punishment for running away Maddy was grounded, her friends could visit but it would have to be at home with her parents; she felt like she was back in primary school. They could stay at home but no one was to know they were back in Stoneybridge, not until her parents knew they were safe.

The familiar feeling of home, made Maddy more happy then she had been in months. Rhydian was allowed over but only for a few hours after school, her mum and dad had not gotten use to the idea of their daughter having a boyfriend. Maddy hated that her parents weren't ready to accept them, she love Rhydian and that wasn't going to change just by keeping them apart.

A soft knock on the door made Maddy sit up. "Come in Shan." The red head appeared from behind the door, face full of smiles.

Shannon came and sat on the edge of her bed. "How you holding up?" She said sympathetic; hand reaching over to grab Maddy's.

"I'm going stir crazy." Maddy said in frustration. "They won't even let me leave the house. I can't even go in to the yard."

Shannon shifted on the bed. "Well at least they gave you your mobile back, you can talk to us."

"I would give up my mobile if I could just go for a run."

"Have you tried asking them? I am sure they wouldn't mind."

"Yea, but it would be chaperoned. I can't enjoy myself with them around telling me what to do." Maddy knew she was being unreasonable, but she had never been in this much trouble before. She was not use to not being able to do something as simple as going out in to the yard. "I feel like I have some kind of terminal illness and I can't leave my room or I'll infect others." Maddy rolled her eyes.

"Maybe I can persuade them in to letting you outside; we can go for a walk." The hope in Shannon's voice made her smile.

She leaned in closer. "Let's go ask." Both girls bolted from the bed and ran down the stairs. They made their way to the living room where Maddy's parents were.

Maddy was laughing the whole way down the stairs, it was the most fun she had had in the few days she had been back. "What is up with you two? You sound like a herd of elephants." Her mother half laughed.

"Maddy and I were hoping you would let us in to the yard to burn off some energy. You know just the two of us."

The look on her parents face told her it was not going to happen. "We promise we will stay in the yard, you can see us from the window."

Her dad leaned one arm over the back of the sofa, turning to see them. "I don't see why not, just as long as we can see you."

A smile broke on Maddy's face; she ran over to both her parents and hugged them. "Thank you!" With that her and Shannon took off in to the yard running fast, smiling wide.

Shannon caught up with her and tapped her on the shoulder. "Tag ,you're it!" Then she ran off in the opposite direction.

Now Maddy really felt like she was in primary school, but she didn't care. They both ran until Shannon was so out of breath they had to stop. Lying on the grassy hill, side by side they began to laugh. Maddy reached over looped her arm through Shannon's. "This is why you're my best mate. If it were Tom or Rhydian, my parents would have never agreed."

"Well I understand why they wouldn't let you with Rhydian, they're probably too afraid you would be out here snogging him."

Maddy couldn't help but laugh. "I'm sure dad would explode if he even thought it." She looked back at the stars; she loved looking at them from this spot because you could see so many.

"I'm glad you're back."

"I am glad as well. I never want to leave you guys again." Maddy tilted her head so it touched Shannon's. "I have always thought of you more as a sister then a mate, just wanted to tell you that."

"Me as well." Shannon confirmed with a smile.

"Girls?" Emma called to them. "Come on in now, it is time for dinner." Both girls shoved off the ground and made their way back to the house. There was no place like home.

First off I am sure I have used the words 'tone' and 'familiar' way too many times in the five chapters. Second, I know since Rhydian came in to Maddy's life they have gotten in to so much trouble and they are concerned but it bugs me how badly they treat him sometimes. Lastly I don't think Maddy will be back in the season until the second last or very last episode, what ever 'threat' they face this season I feel is going to some how tie in with her. I hope I'm wrong because I want her back now. Anyone have any other theories?
