Victoria ran as she left a footprint. Behind her was a hunting party, several dogs with half a dozen armed men. "Guys, we got something," Charlie said as the deputies hurried to Charlie.

They gather around to look at a footprint.

The dogs start pulling them in a certain direction. As the posse takes off at a sprint, James and Laurent watch from a knoll. Victoria jogs up. "They took the bait," she said.

"By tomorrow they'll be halfway to Winnipeg," James added.

Victoria lasciviously grabbed James' shirt as she pulled him to her. "I love when men chase me," she said as he grins, and starts to take off her clothes.

They pull each other toward the woods with carnal lust.

It barely registers with Laurent, who continues to watch the posse with concern.

Bella and I got out of her truck and hurries toward the entrance

Bella and I got out of her truck and hurries toward the entrance. Bella was trying to keep the joy on her face in check... with minimal success.

Outside the door, we passed Mike, hanging out with several of his basketball teammates. "Audrey, why are you dating the freak?" Mike asked me, standing next to me.

"Why do you care? Babyface" I shot back, looking at him.

"Because you're my girl," Mike answered. "Since when doll?" I asked. "Your first day," he lied. "She wasn't yours, to begin with," Bella reminded him.

"You're only interested in us because we're new here."

"I'm new here, you came back home, Bella," I reminded her. "Either way, she's mine," Mike argued, I scoffed.

"Mike," Bella asked. "I have a warning for you. My dad's Chief of Police and he won't take this kindly." Mike nervously laughed.

"Even if we did start dating Mike, you can't afford me" I sassed, smirking.

We headed inside and slid into the booth where my cousins and Charlie were there.

"Sorry, I'm late. Biology project," Bella told Charlie. Cora sets a top sirloin steak in front of Charlie, and a plate of seafood in front of Bella and us.
