Second Life (Book Two in the Awakening trilogy)

Epilogue

JACOB

I pace in between two trees trying to think. I can't get through the El, the kids are starting to panic, I can't catch a break, and they won't tell me what the hell is going on. I shake my head and hold my head in my hands before punching a tree. I look toward the house and grow more annoyed I walk in and look at Dean. I grab the sides of his jacket and pin him against the wall.

"What the hell is going on and where the hell did El go?" I ask.

"Why should I answer?" He retorts.

"Because I asked nicely an I only do that once." I growl. He pulls out a knife and holds it against me.

"Pinning someone against a wall isn't exactly nice." Dean smirks.

"Answer my damn question before I rip your God damn throat out."

"None of your business and a place." I pull him away from the wall and throw him on the floor. "Bitch." I walk over and wrap my hand around his throat lifting him to eye level giving he's about 4 inches shorter than me.

"Where is she?" I growl again somehow feeling my eyes change in color.

"None of your business." He presses the blade against my throat and I squeeze tighter. Gabe and Sam run in and pull us off of each other. Gabe gapes at me.

"What the hell is going on!?!" Gabe asks over all.

"This bitch attacked me!" Dean yells.

"I only asked what the hell was going on and where the hell is El." I keep my voice steady. Gabe looks at me and back at Dean.

"Dean he needs to know. I'm not joking, he can't control it. You have to tell him." Gabe states.

"Why?" Dean raises his eyebrows. Gabe looks at me and mouths a 'sorry'. He's telling them about the imprint.

"Jake imprinted on Liz. It's a werewolf thing." Gabe says calmly. Dean pulls out a gun and aims it at me. Sam grabs the gun and lowers it.

"Dean, it's fine. Beth told me, she didn't really explain it, but it's not bad. All it means is nobody can hurt her unless they go through him. He's pretty strong too. So back off." Sam says. Dean turns and walks away. Then stops at the door.

"She's going to kill the demon that cursed us all. She's the only one who can. If you want to know anymore, find her books. She has a journal just for dealing with demons. She keeps the journals she got from Bobby too. All those will give you a good idea about where she is. Other than that, you're screwed."

ELIZABETH

My paws pound against the ground as the wind blows through my orange fur. I jump the ravine and skid to a stop. I stare over the edge of the cliff, but not where I usually do. I'm on the other side. Gazing across at a rusty brown wolf. I nod, Jake turns and runs toward home. I stare down at the bottom and look back up. My eyes glow and I lower myself to the ground.

"Sayonara."
