Sorry I didn't upload sooner I've been busy with work so it might take a few days to post again. I don't own Wolfblood

Maddy arrived with Tom and Shannon by bike, holding on to Shannon's waist as they rode; it was nearly five. When they got to the door it was Ollie who answered; he looked them all up and down. "Rhydian it's your mates!" He hollered over his shoulder.

"Well, let them in then." He called back from an unknown location.

Ollie stepped aside gesturing in the house. "Come on in."

They moved past him and in to the adult free Vaughan house, Rhydian told Shannon to bring their own snacks since none of the one in the house was appealing to normal people. Maddy watched him hand over some cash for it since they were doing him a favor by keeping up the act. Rhydian was in the living room where the teen would be spending the evening. The floor had their sleeping bags laid out and a stack of movies near the television. "Ollie and Joe will be joining us for a bit, they go to bed at eight." He said making a pointed look at the boys, they only rolled their eyes.

They made their way in to the living room, picking out the spot they wished to sit. Maddy couldn't help but notice it seemed like a double date, she would be next to Rhydian, and Tom and Shannon would be next to him. She kept the comment to herself, finding Rhydian's eyes she indicated that the teens needed to talk alone. "Ollie, Joe, why don't you go out and play football while we get set up. I'll call you in when were ready to start the movie." Like any normal child, they thought nothing of it and went outside to play.

Once they left Maddy grabbed her rucksack and put it in the couch. Opening it she pulled out two wigs that resembled both her and Rhydian's hair. "I borrowed these from the drama department. If we stuff pillows in our sleeping bags it will look like we are sleeping." Maddy began fixing the wigs.

"Brilliant." Tom commented. "If they stay in bed it shouldn't be that hard."

"Don't count on that, they are full of energy. I am just hoping the football takes some of that away." Rhydian said while hiding the wigs in the closet with the extra pillows. "We will be back at right after we change back."

"Yeah, mum and dad already think it is dangerous so we need to be back as soon as possible."

Maddy sat on the couch and they went through the plan one more time, making sure to cover as much as they could. As for Tom and Shan, they would have to improvise most of their part. Rhydian went off to collect the boys for their 'movie night'.

They have everything marked down to minutes, at exactly seven thirty Shannon looked at Maddy, she saw Shannon reach for her mobile and quietly dial Maddy. The mobile sounded loud 'scaring' the others. "Sorry." Maddy mumbled and got up from her spot, walking in to the kitchen; she hit end on the call but pretended to answer it. "Hi mum," She walked far enough for them to hear but not too close to make it obvious. "No I brought it." She paused. "I am sure I brought it." She stalked back in to the living room grabbing her rucksack, pulling her clothes free. "Ah, no I did forget it. I'll be around in a bit to get it." Maddy hung up her pretend call and looked at the others. "I forgot my school shirt, I'll have to go home and get it or Jeffries will go mental." She got up and put on her jumper. "I'll be back in an hour or so."

Now it was Rhydian's turn, they had paused the movie by now so everyone could watch the show. "You can't go alone, it is getting dark. I'll go with you. "It occurred to Maddy how completely obvious this sounded but the boys didn't seem to notice. "You two mind Tom and Shannon and go to bed on time. We'll be back in an hour or so."

"Whatever," Joe said. "Just start the movie." Maybe they over planned, but Maddy was happy to get out of there on time.

Once they made it outside Maddy grabbed hold of Rhydian's hand and they made their way in to the forest. Their plan was to make it far enough that no one could see them; they barely made it before Maddy felt the wolf in her veins, turning them to black rivers. The shift is painless, one second you're a wolfblood and the next you're a wolf. She saw Rhydian next to her, she stepped forward testing the earth under her paws. The connection to nature was nothing she could ever explain in words, it was just something you felt. The playful gleam in Rhydian's eyes told her it was time, she took off first running in to the night with a body shaking howl.

Shannon yawned, stretching her arms high; she and Tom just finished setting up the body doubles. There heard nothing from up stairs but she wasn't surprised the boys had went to bed two hours ago. She and Tom were getting ready to watch 'Demon Father' which was some cheep American movie that no one had ever heard of. Half way through the movie and Shannon sat with her sleeping bag pulled high, for an unknown movie it was creepy; She looked over at Tom who wore the same expression she did. They watched as someone checked the run down house, she knew what was coming but sometimes you are just never prepared. When the eyeless figure jumped out to grab the man, Shannon jumped too, in one moment she was completely aware of the fact Tom just put his hand on her's. Not wanting to say anything she just sat there frozen, after a few minutes he removed it but not before shooting a cautious glance her way.

After the movie they decided it was best to go to bed, Maddy and Rhydian wouldn't be back till early morning and they all still had school the next day. Tom barely spoke to her after the hand incident, she understood but she didn't think it was a big deal, not too long ago they pretended to date. Shannon lay there in the dark, remembering the day they spent as a couple, and wondered if Tom ever thought about it.

Rhydian's paws pounded on the earth as he ran faster, he could see Maddy's tail disappearing behind a tree; she wasn't going to let the rabbit get away. He watched as she inched closer, body hunched to the ground, making her steps soundless. The rabbit was unaware that the she wolf was so close to it, lazily chomping on the grass around it. Teeth bared she made her leap, but only to come to a halt; the rabbit turned and dashed off away from the two wolves but Maddy didn't seem to care, she turned her tail and began running in the opposite direction. Rhydian left the rabbit to run away and followed Maddy on whatever chase she was on; as soon as they past the boundary line her parents set up, Rhydian knew that this was serious. Then it hit him, familiar wolf scent made its way up his nose, he felt his fur rise. He was now more determined to catch up with Maddy and meet the wolf, his steps aligned with hers as they ran toward it.

It took them awhile to catch up because the other wolf didn't seem to know they were there, but when a flash of fur darted past them, Maddy jumped over the wolf to get in its way. Its paws scratched up the dirt as it stopped immediately now that Maddy was in front of it. It hunched its' back and showed teeth to her, it was only after Rhydian stepped beside her did it pull back. Jana's face softened and she sat back, taking in the view of the two wolves in front of her. She leapt forward circling them tail high, she nudged in to the side of Maddy; she playfully nipped back at her. Rhydian hit Jana in the side with his head in his way of saying 'don't forget about me', Jana pounced at him but he easily dodged. A whimper came from Maddy, when the two looked over at her, her eyes looked to the sky. It was getting to be early morning and the pull of the moon was fading, she was telling them that they needed to get back. Rhydian responded first, showing Jana they way back. As they entered the area around the Vaughan's house they stopped, they couldn't get to close in case anyone was watching, the wolves met in a small circle. As the moon faded so did the wolf and the group slowly returned to two legs, Maddy was the first to act, throwing her hands around Jana and pulling her in for a hug. "What are you doing here?" She asked excitedly.

"It is a long story, but for now all that matters is that I'm here." Jana said with a pained smile.

Maddy's mobile went off and she stepped away from the group to answer it. "What about mum?" Rhydian asked not sure if he wanted to know the answer.

"She is on her way, I went ahead. I was hoping to catch you before the moon because I thought you would be locked in the den." She paused for a moment looking to Maddy then at Rhydian. "Why weren't you in the den?"

"Long story as well, we will catch you up later, we have to get back now."

Maddy had rejoined the group, hugging Jana again. "Mum and dad say hi." Rhydian grabbed hold of Maddy's arm and pulled her back. "It was great to see you, but Rhydian is right we need to get back. You can go around mine if you need somewhere to rest. But Rhydian's foster brothers would be to suspicious if you showed up out of nowhere over night." She said sadly. Rhydian understood Jana was part of their pack; he didn't like sending her away so soon after they had just met up again.

"I think I'll do that, it has been awhile since I had some descent meat, and I'll need a shower." She said with a smile as she sniffed her shirt. They said their goodbyes and watched as the fiery red hair disappeared in the distance.

Shannon was waiting for Maddy and Rhydian as they arrived. She watched as her friends appeared through the trees hand in hand, when Maddy saw her she broke away, skipping over to her. "You will never guess what just happened."

"You chased off some rabbits or badgers?" Shannon guessed.

"No, we just saw Jana."

Shannon got up. "What?" She asked while looking around for the wolf.

"We sent her to Maddy's" Rhydian said obviously noticing her looking.

"What is she doing here?"

"We don't know yet, it didn't seem dangerous or she would have told us. We needed to get back first." Maddy informed her.

"And speaking of, how did it go?" Rhydian asked, looking past her.

"Not bad, they went to bed easily. Joe woke up a few times to see if you were here, but we had already set up your sleeping doubles. I got up early enough to put em away before you got here."

"Thanks Shan." Maddy said pulling her in to a hug. "You're a real mate. "She said over her shoulder.

Shannon laughed. "Say that again when the boys wake up and they don't suspect anything."

Maddy had rejoined her hand with Rhydian; she looked over at him and asked. "So do you have any food in this house that will not taste like cardboard?"

He chuckled. "I'm sure we can find something." He placed his free arm over Shannon's shoulder. "Come on Shan; let's see if we can wake Tom without violence." The group walked in the house to get ready for the day.

I'll try to update again in a few days but I work most of the day.
