Draco was in a panic. Harry, his Harry was gone. He had just up and disappeared without a trace. Gone...just gone! How did he even have the strength or magic to apparate? He could be anywhere in the world right now, how were they going to find him?

"He couldn't have gone far," Severus said, waving his wand and trying to pick up Harry's magical signature. "With any luck I will be able to track him. He was too weak to have gone far, he can't be more than a few miles off."

Severus was hiding it, but he was terrified over losing Harry. In his condition he couldn't defend himself or was even in his right mind, but what really concerned him the most was Harry's unstable magical core. Apparating pulled a lot of magic out of a wizard's core, something that a healthy wizard would barely notice unless they apparated multiple times in one bay, but in Harry's case, just a short apparate could prove to be fatal.

"I don't understand." Rosalie complained, pacing back and forth in front of the large window that overlooked the woods. "Why would he leave like that? Carlisle told him that he was brining him home. He knew that he was safe now."

"He didn't'," Jasper said sadly. "He was so scared when he woke. I have never felt such fear in a human before. I think that he thought he was still being held prisoner." Walking to the destroyed window, he turned to look at his family. "I'm going out to look for him. I want to find him before the wolves do," he said, jumping out the window.

"I'm going with him," Emmett said, kissing his wife on the cheek then following after his brother.

"Wolves?" Draco asked wearily.

"There's a Native American tribe close by in La Push, the Quileutes." Carlisle explained. "When vampires move close to their territory some of the young men become shape-shifters, wolf shape-shifters. We have a treaty with them, and as long as we don't trespass onto their land, kill or turn a human, then they won't hunt or expose us. Despite the treaty, we don't exactly get along."

"Understatement," Edward grumbled, thinking of how Jacob wanted his Bella.

"Edward, call Billy Black and tell him we are looking for someone seriously hurt and probably not aware of their surroundings. Don't tell him he's a wizard or family, just someone missing from the hospital. See if he can get the pack to look for him, or at least keep their eyes and ears open."

Edward pulled his phone out of his pocket where he had it on silent and quickly dialed Billy. Bella had been calling and texting him almost nonstop since he left her house, but he just couldn't bring himself to answer her. He just wanted to see his little brother, that was all he could think about right now. He wanted to go out with Jasper and Emmett to help look, but Carlisle had ordered him mentally to stay. He was worried about him going feral again.

Severus was getting frustrated, none of the tracking spells he knew were working. "Why does their shifting gene only activate when vampires are near?" he asked, pocketing his wand. Despite being worried about Harry, he couldn't help but to be curious about the shifters. There weren't many natural shifters left.

"It's in their genes. When vampires are near it triggers those with the ability to shift and become wolves in order to protect their tribe. Vampires are their natural enemy. They could easily kill us, but the treaty prevents it."

"That's very interesting," Severus hummed. He hoped to meet a shifter, it would be interesting to question him about his history and the actual shifting.
