*Zac*
The front door of the car is slammed close and soon after my own door is thrown open.

"Oh you are awake. Get of Your arse and get inside". Martin grumbles. With no further comment the big man turned and walked after Jonas inside.

I sit up feeling dazed and sling my legs out on the tiles. For a moment I just stand there, scratching my hair tiredly, while the memories from last Night wash over me. I hold out my hand, scared what I will see. It is totally normal, not a scratch, no extra hair and no claws. I sigh feeling relieved. No sign of the wolf only my own tan skin. I breathe in deeply, collecting my courage for the trashing I know awaits me.

"What the hell happened ?" My father rumbles as soon as I step inside. The voice comes from the livingroom and as soon as I have kicked of my shoes I sneak over to the open door.

The men are sitting around the table and right now they are all looking at me with different levels of anger.

"I don't know what you mean". I mumble. Maybe I can get out of this if I pretend that my memory from my time as a wolf is still hazy.

"Stop that shit kid. You were in full control from the moment you turned on me". Martin sner.

"Do you get what you did Zac ? Those were the bitch witches. We could have stopped them once and for all". Jonas say, for once he seems the calm and most reasonable one.

"Stopped them ? You don't think we have dead bodies enough on our conscience ?" I ask through gritted teeth.

"It's enough". My father slams his fist down on the table. "You are going to sit down right now kid. And then you are telling me what the hell you guys have done.. right now".

Disheartened I let myself slump down on the empty chair next to Jonas.

"Well things went wrong on the way to the shack. We caught the scent of another wolf and had to examine it closer. We couldn't risk him coming too close to town. He had changed when we found him and he attacked Jonas. I pulled him of him. A bit to hard unfortunately". Martin explain.

"And then three witches showed up". Jonas say tiredly.

"Three witches ?"

"Darrell it wasn't just witches. It was those bitches who killed dad. We could have killed them if it wasn't for you son". Jonas continues.

"Is it true ?" My father turns to look at me.

"It might be". I sink further into the seat.

"All because you lack the guts to finish of that little blonde right princess ? I was about to do it for him, do you know what he did the little piss ant ? He put himself in the middle and he threatened me". Martin's eyes are searing with anger.

"Martin !" My father raises his voice and Martin looks away.

The room goes quiet. And I can feel how my father is scanning my face. I know my body is revealing me. I grind my teeth and try to find an excuse instead of playing dumb.

"I can't explain it. I am sorry I went up against Martin, but it all went so fast. I just didn't want anymore people to die". I say.

"I don't get it ! How could you even think straight ? Martin and I almost couldn't stop you the first time you went for them in the forest". Jonas looks curiously at me. "You were going crazy to get into that witch circle and get them and Martin had to throw you away".

"That was before I realised who she is". I mumble mostly to myself.

"If I had known they were witches I would have let you eat the blonde the first time you caught her, instead of saving her ass". Jonas looks up. "Wait what ? Do you know who the little witch is ? Why on earth haven't you said that ?"

"Because it's Soleil ! Okay ? I realised it was Sol and I couldn't let Martin kill her". I jump up and run to my room.

The whole night my mind has been on her. In the beginning it was only pieces and bits, her scared face with the huge questioning eyes. But more and more came back. When I changed to the wolf I had still been in there somewhere, but the witches had surprised me and the wolf had taken over when they ran. It had gone by instinct and sprinted after them. The fact that my uncles ran after me the wolf had taken as a confirmation that this was prey to be hunted. But when I heard Sol's voice I had snapped right back in control.

With a big sigh I sit down on my bed. I had been so close to killing her. What am I to do now ? My father and uncles are angry and disappointed with me. Can I even blame them ?

Because of me we all have to run again, flee from the witches that had killed my grandfather and hunted my family my whole life. My brothers and Jonas' kids has to change school. And me.. what am I to do ?

My thoughts keep returning to Sol. Even though my parents has warned me, even forbidden me to see her. I have tried doing it their way, but I can't stay away from her. In the end I gave up fighting and I choose her. It had been egoistical taking contact to her again, I know that, but why can't I be allowed to get a chance of happiness ? My mother and aunt is happy with their husbands, why shouldn't Sol be able to be happy with me ? But now everything had been turned upside down and I finally understand why my grandfather had often just sat there, staring into nothingness, when he thought that no one was looking. He had keeping guard, listened for the witch, thought of her and waited for the day she would come. It wasn't that my grandfather was unhappy with my grandmother. They had three kids together after all and been perfect grandparents, but I wonder if my grandmother had known about the witch ? Not as someone out to get us, but as my grandmothers lost love ? Will I have to flee from Soleil too, until the day she comes to kill me ? And will I let her do it ?

There is a hesitant knock on the door. Without thinking I breathe in deeply catching a safe and comforting scent. "Why does it have to be like this mom ? Why are they chasing us ?"

"I don't know pup". She answered. "Can I come in Zac ?"

"Hmm". I humm, wanting to laugh at her nickname for me and wondering if she has always know since she choose that nickname.

"We thought it was because Your grandfather had killed that woman. But they continues hunting us. Jonas saw them close to where we last lived, that is the reason we had to leave so fast. Normally we move more quietly when people gets to suspicious". She sits down next to me on the bed. "I remember when you had first started second grade. I was called to the principle because you had gotten in a fight with some other boys. The office had found my number in Your folder and realised there was no papers on you from Your precious School, so I had to lie, saying they had gotten lost in the mail. You were so upset and blamed yourself that we had to move again, so from then on we told Your kids we had to move after work for Your father".

"Have you always known ?" I lift myself up my elbows and look at my mother.

She folds her arms around me. "Oh Zac. I am so Sorry about all of this. You never asked for any of this". She say softly stroking my hair the Way she has done since I was a small kid.

It doesn't really help this time, but I let her, knowing it makes her feel better.

"I didn't know in the beginning, Your father told me he went hunting with Your uncles once in a while and I never realised it wasn't the entire truth. He told me when we had been together for years. I was ready to settle down, have kids and a family, but he avoided the subject. In the end I gave up and left him". She say with a sigh.

"Why didn't he let you leave ? You could have had a normal life, normal kids". I say.

My mom laughs softly. "When a wolf finds his mate it is for life and it is very hard for a young girl to resist that kind of passionate and unconditional love. He gave in, but not before he had shown me what he was. After that the choice was mine". For a moment she studies my unhappy face. "I have never regretted for a second that I had you or Your brothers. That you have to know. I love all of you with every fiber of my being and I couldn't wish for better sons. A family can get through much, when they just stick together. It was Your grandfather wish that Your father, Martin and Jonas should stick together, support each other. I think that is the reason we have lasted this long against those horrible women". She looks at the floor. But had I known this would happen, that you would be this unhappy, then..".

"I can't believe Soleil is one of them". I sigh. "What am I to do ?"

"You shouldn't do anything pup. We do what we have always done. We'll find a new home in another town, it is going to be okay". She says padding my leg.

"She didn't see it was me. Maybe there is a chance I could do like dad. Then we could stay here and I Can just leave once in a while". I say hopefully.

Before I can go on with my fantasy my mom stops me. "She is one of them pup, she is a danger to you. Some day she will find out and you will be so much more hurt than if you get out now. If you survives that is". She say. "We can't live this close to them Zac. It isn't save for Andreas or Victor either".

"Jonas said they will probably change too and the twins too".

"Maybe, but don't tell Your brothers. There is a small chance that it won't happen to them". She say pleasingly.

"Yeah that chance has been blown for me". I fall back on the bed and look desperately at the ceiling.

"I am going to join the others, but never hesitate if you feel a need to talk pup". She gets up after having squeezed my hand softly.

I haven't been laying there for long when my thoughts are interrupted by my phone. For a moment I think about rejecting the unknown number. But Soleil's face flashes before my eyes and worry creeps up my spine, making me take it immediately.

When I have finished the call, I hesitate shortly, before deciding that this is more important than saving my own ass. I pull of my dirty clothes and get a set of Martin's old ones, stuff my phone in the back pocket and heads for the front door. There is no reason to try and sneak out; they have probably already heard my heart hammering away, before I even left my room.

"Where are you going kid ?" My father's question stops me.

"There is something I have to do. I'll be back as soon as possible". I answer without turning around.

"You are going to see her aren't you ?" My mom's scared voice are ringing in my ears.

"She needs a friend right now, mom. She doesn't have to know anything. This has nothing to do with us". Without listening to anymore of their protest I hurry out the door and run to her house as fast as I can.
