The corridors in this place were somehow even creepier than the room I'd started off in. I followed the male through blank almost sterile corridors. It reminded me so much of being in a hospital. There were beeping noises from machines and the clinical smell of way too much disinfectant. My only guess was that this was a base for the hunters, but so far no one had seemed to suggest or tell me where we were. Were we still in town or were we miles away?

Being separated from the others was the worst though. I tried to reach at least one of the guys again, but failed to make any kind of contact. Which could mean a few things, they were either ignoring me which I found highly unlikely considering the situation. Then again, this place could be blocking it, which would explain why I get couldn't contact any of them. Or the bond had simply run out as we feared. I hoped it wasn't the last one. I don't think I could handle being in that room again with no one to talk to.

They made me sit in a small dimly lit blank room with just three chairs and a table set in the middle. I felt like I was being dragged into an interrogation room on one of those cop shows. They'd have the light pulled up to my face demanding to know where the others were at any moment. I had a feeling that wouldn't be so far from the truth.

The door creaked open and I wasn't too surprised when my parents walked in the room. Part of me had suspected all along that they were behind this.

Still I will admit that I was slightly relieved to see that mum was okay after Michael's hit. The only sign of injury was a bandage wrapped around her left arm. She barely glanced at me as she sat across from me at the table. My dad sat beside her, an almost disappointed look on his face. I took a deep breath, I wasn't sure I was ready to deal with our problems yet.

"If it isn't the parents that kicked me out then decided it would be fun to try and kidnap my friend and I." I say, shooting daggers across the table with my eyes. "Aren't I privileged."

"Luke what happened to you?" My father asked, in an accusing tone.

"Didn't we already go through this? I nearly died, then Calum saved my life. End of story." I reply, folding my arms across my chest.

"Not end of story. Why did you do this? Why did you let yourself become one of those things?" My mother asks, leaning forward as she bashes her hands on the table. I'm reminded exactly of one of those cop shows.

I balled my fists beneath the desk. I was sick of all these people saying that, especially hearing it now from my parents too. I didn't choose this, I didn't let myself become anything that I could've stopped. Sure, I wasn't who I had been a few months ago. But there wasn't anything wrong with me either.

There was so much I could've questioned them about myself. I could've asked them why they kicked me out the house, even though I was sure from what Calum had said I knew the answer to that without even asking. I didn't even care if they still went around hunting werewolves, I just wanted them to accept me. I wanted to know why they had tried to tip Ashton's mum off about us? Why were they even here? It surely couldn't have just been for Michael, could it?

I sighed, there was so many things that I could ask them but I decided to shut my mouth. I'd decided back in the room to keep quiet, as much as possible and I intended to keep it that way.

"I'm not telling you anything. I have no loyalty to you anymore, this was the last straw." I say instead, staring back at them. "So, if you're expecting me to be a willing participant in with your stupid plan for Michael and me then you 're severely mistaken. We don't want to be hunters. We'll never agree."

"Don't be so sure." She frowned, "Spend some time here and you'll start to realize what we're doing is helping people."

"What by killing people that are just that bit different from you? Werewolves aren't bad." I bit my lip as I thought of Zoe the girl who had done this to me. She sure as hell hadn't been nice, she'd tried to hurt Michael when she thought he'd double crossed her. Despite the fact, he'd only been trying to help. I quickly corrected myself, "I mean some are, but so are humans. You don't see people who murder other people getting away with it do you?"
