Authors Notes: Anyway, thank you to the people who told me what it is (masquerades) but then I thought to myself hmm, the party planner could be Kara, since she reach and stuff and likes a party... relly sorry if it annoys you people, but it came to me, after I posted the last chapter.

You Said You'd Find Me, But I Found You

Rhydian

They wanted me to leave, so I did, and all I did was run, at wolf speed back to the flat. I'm packing my bags and I am not looking back. Goodbye Maddy, goodbye Stoneybridge. I don't know where I'll go, but I know wherever it is will be more welcoming than this place. After what seems like thirty minutes of running away – time seems to slow down when I'm running on my own – but in reality is only two minutes I reach the flat I, unfortunately, still share with Victoria. She won't be there though, I know she won't. Not after being caught by a human, her and her father probably left hours ago – its early in the morning.

I burst through the door, the wolf inside me is ready to come out but it doesn't, even when I see it sitting there casually waiting for me.

I glare at her, "What are you doing here?" I ask already wishing it was her that almost died today... well last night. She looks me, something different in the way she does so, something like... regret? I doubt it, but it could be.

"Rhydian." She says softly, her voice is different too, like she knows how I feel about her being here right now, and she wants to 'calm me down' with the soothing voice act, she doesn't seem to get that its not just her being here, its her being alive and still in Stoneybridge. Taking my silence as me ignoring her presence – well actually I am – she continue's, "Rhydian I am so sorry about what I did to the tame." She says beginning to walk closer to me.

My head snaps round when she says 'tame', "If you didn't already know, Maddy. Is. Not. Tame!" I shout at her, she nods but I can sense the sarcasm to her nod.

"Yes, right of course, but I wanted to apologise to her, and I know the only way I can do that is through you... please Rhydian, I want to thank her for saving me, too." She begs me, with her hands clasped together.

I groan, I don't believe Victoria wants to thank or apologise to Maddy, but she does seem genuine.

"How do I know your not lying? That this isn't some trick? Or that your dad hasn't put you up to this?" I ask, she looks away, if shes crying I don't care, I laugh out of anger when she doesn't respond and walk into my bedroom to pack my bag.

"Where are you going?" she asks as she follows me into the room.

I suppose its habbit for her now, I roll my eyes at the thought.

"Why would you care? You don't own me! You haven't even answered my question!" I snap at her, she hides her face with her hands and her entire body gently shakes, "If you really must know, they've thrown me out, said I hurt Maddy, when really its your fault! I've lost any chance of getting Maddy back because of you! I hope your proud." I shout again, I'm going to lose my voice.

She glares up at me, "It's not my fault! Besides! My father did not put me up to thanking or apologising to the tame one! In fact he doesn't even know I'm here! It was my job to kill Maddy Smith and now I've failed, so no I am not proud!" she shouts back at me. Se quickly wipes her eyes before turning back round at me with a frown on her face, "Why would they throw you out? You don't live with them." She says in confusion. But I still don't trust nor want to talk to her.

"Kicked me out of Maddy's life. And she is not tame." I tell her remembering her outburst. She snorts before walking toward the door.

"Could've fooled me, hanging out with humans." She says. I smile. "Goodbye Rhydian Morris."

And she leaves.

I sit at the edge of my bed and think for a moment, I don't hear the door reopen until Jana calls my name, "Rhydian?" her voice soft and almost a whisper, but theres an edge to it, maybe she saw Victoria and got the wrong idea. This cannot be good if she has. She bursts into my room without knocking and has a look of relief on her face when she see's me look up at her... confusing, yeah? "Rhydian! You've got to go to this party thingy that they're holding." She tells me... not what I expected but better than what I thought.

"Why?" I ask with a frown on my face, she rolls her eyes.

"Because Maddy, Shan and Tom are going! You have to be there! You've got to get back with Maddy!" she says, seeming a little too eager for anyones liking, and acting like a little kid who was watching their favourite show on T.V.

"No, you heard what her mum said, she doesn't want me going anywhere near Maddy, so I'm leaving tonight." I tell her, and she looks at me like I just jumped out at her and scared her.

"But, Rhydian, the party is tonight and Maddy-" she starts but I can't listen to her go on about Maddy.

"Jana, just stop, I'm not going to the stupid party. Where is it anyway?" I ask, I'm not going I'm just curious.

"Its in the centre of Stoneybridge and everyone is invited... because Kara is the party planner." I laugh, of course Kara's planned some stupid party, but I'm still not going. Jana looks at me expectantly, "So you'll go?" she asks with a beaming smile, I can't say no, Jana will stay until I say yes, but I'm not going so I'm not saying yes.

"I'll think about it." I tell her, she smiles at me with wide happy eyes. But I'm not going to a party, I'm going back to the wild. And once she's left I'm packing my bags. "Well go, I need to get ready." I tell her and she races out of the flat.

I smile to myself, thought something tugs at my heart.

Authors Notes: Its ironic how I listen to songs like 'Bleeding Love' when I did this chapter. So, sould Rhydian go to the party... I think so, but what do you think?
