Fang POV

I watched as Max, Jacob, Sugar and Avalon talked, though Jacob seemed to be scowling while Max, Sugar and Avalon did all of the talking.

"Well," I said to Iggy, "Looks like there's more work to getting her to come back than we thought."

"Should we blow something up, make it look like Erasers, and then say we need her to protect us?" he asked.

"That might work..."

Jacob POV

I watched as Max made plans for us. I would go, but I didn't like it. I just wanted some time with Max. I took her outside and asked her about it.

"Max, what about hunting? What about spending time with just us?"

"Tell you what," she said, "We can cancel some of the things on Saturday afternoon, and have all afternoon to ourselves."

I agreed and we broke the news to Sugar and Avalon.

"That's fine," Sugar said, "You'll just have to make it up to me as my emos!"

Max rolled her eyes and I raised an eyebrow, causing Sugar to go beserk on 'how funny it was that we reacted at the same time'. Oh well. That afternoon, I took Max to the woods again. I was enjoying spending time with her, and couldn't wait for her old family to leave. I know that sounds mean, but she was always tense around them, expecting the worst. While we were hunting, Max saw someone.

"Jacob," she said, looking straight at someone who looked to be a male model, "Run."

We turned tail and ran, hearing an explosion behind us. When Max looked back, we saw James, Nick, and three others. Max looked at them, but spotted a deer. The idea of blood must have appealed to her, because she launched herself straight past them and at the animal. It didn't stand a chance once she got close to it. It was down in seconds.

Okay, early Christmas present. I kind of have writer's block in an obscure way. I can think of ideas, but none of them seem to work. Any suggestions before I resort to a massive sugar high?
