~Blain~ 

As we both stepped outside of Max's room his sister grabbed me by the shoulders and slammed me against the wall with  speed and strength I had no idea was capable. "What ever your doing to my little brother you better remember two things, one: if you hurt him I will kick your ass, and two:  it will hurt like a bitch. He has done nothing to you and I wont see you do anything to him got it?" I nodded trying to get my breath back as she let me go.

"Ok who am I riding with... Blain? Whats wrong? Katie? What happened?" He looked worriedly from me to Katie and back again until Katie answered. 

"Nothin Maxy, nothin at all." she said with one final stern look in my direction before she started off down the hall. I looked at Max and used me best fake smile.

"So, am I giving you a ride to school?" He nodded his head after a moment and that is when the real smile came out.

~Katie~

I watched from the roof as he drove Max to school....as they got smaller and smaller  I grew more concerned. There is something different about this boy. Something that scares me, I don't know what but it makes me lose focus. And I can't have that....I can't risk losing control of it because then I might be seen. I don't know how Max would react but I can't risk letting him see, it's too early. I have to wait until I can get him out. After he was out of sight I hopped down onto one of the balconies and used the hand rail to swing myself out towards the gardens. I smiled as I landed lightly on one of the decorative stones. I stood there and reveled in the sensation of my blood pumping through my body in a moment of freedom. He thought he could keep us locked up under his thumb but I don't take to kindly to being imprisoned. I found a way out without him knowing, without him figuring out. I paused as I let my body shift; feeling myself change. Bones and tendons shifted and reconfigured as I embraced the feeling. I opened my eyes and looked around as everything became sharper and I could see so much more, the energies of living things, the small creatures hiding away, and the spirits of long dead creatures. I looked over my shoulder as my two red tails swayed back and forth, after a moment I took off into the forest. I wove through the trees, under logs, over stones as I made my way to the clearing in the deep wood. The deep wood is a strangely terrifying but wonderful place, where only creatures of old blood can go. As I got there I sat there in the sun and felt it's warmth spread over me. Wile I sat I cleaned my paws and played with the electrical charge that it caused, streaking the sparks into currents, using it to fry bugs and then without a sound there was a wolf on the other side of the clearing. He was a whitish grey wolf with beautiful blue claws and an old kindness to his eyes.

"How is he?" I heard the smooth voice in my head as the wolf sat down in from of me and tilted his head to the side. I froze, that wolf, just spoke, in my head. So I did the logical thing, I jumped to my feet and ran, I ran as fast as I could. But somehow he kept pace, every time I tried to stop he was there. Until finally I collapsed, exhausted and out of breath as he came out of the underbrush like he had been standing there the entire time.

"Fine, .....I give up......" He chuckled as I caught my breath and he simply sat down besides me. As I looked at him in confusion.

"I'm not going to hurt you if that's what you're worried about.I don't hunt your kind Kitsune, I am simply a..... friend. Now how is he?" He looked at me as I tried to decide whether or not to trust him but then I realized that he was talking about Max.

"How is who?" I tried thinking that he was just making a lucky guess and I was being paranoid.

"Don't play dumb with me Kathrine you know I'm talking about Max." I froze how did he know both our names? Is this the guy stalking the estate? "You can feel it can't you? When he is afraid, or hurt you can feel it, like a siren in your mind. The tingling feeling that won't leave you alone until you see him." I looked at him as I remembered the night at the party, it was like he had screamed for help. I could hear it in my mind, his fear.

"H-how do you know all this? Who are you?" I was starting to get seriously freaked out right now and this guy was making it all worse.

"like I said I am a friend...and I would like your help. I want him out of that house as much as I assume you do, so I propose that we work together to get him out before its to late." I weighed my options and finally gave in.

"Why do you want him out of the house?" I asked hoping that I didn't just run into a werewolf pedo after my brother.

"I am here to bring him to his family, his Uncle is looking for him and I am here to make sure that  he isn't harmed wile being retrieved. If you help me I will make sure that the two of you are not separated." He looked at me for a moment as World War 3 stared in my head as I tried to decide. But how else am I going to get Max out of there?

"Fine, I will help you but if anything happens I will kill you myself, got it?" he nodded as we both got up. I didn't trust this at all, not one bit.

"Good, I hope we can work together. Besides a friend in need is a friend indeed no?" With that he disappeared silently back into the forest.  I didn't wast any time as I ran as fast as I could back to the house with the same thought in my mind the whole way.

"WTF!?"
