"Anyways.We must find that guy. A werewolf is not that fast in human form,maybe he's something else',Thawn said looking at Max maybe he has another clue on who the person is but he looked away when he remembered that he's a newborn who just got bitten.
'And am gonna pay back Luke for trying to kill me!', Max growled under his breath.
'Hey listen.They are not your enemy. Grey is just trying to get revenge on us', Thawn said worriedly looking at his toes.
'Us? ....But I don't know anything about what happened to him nor do I care!', Max shot back.
'I know you don't. But don't be rash towards him. Am sure he doesn't know who you are and yet you can't reveal yourself to him', Thawn appealed with a slight pain in his voice.
Max was taken aback for many reasons. For one, he now has to conceal who he really is now. He has to live as if he's on the run,always looking at his back like a fugitive. He doesn't like the life of a fugitive. He likes being free. To be able to do whatever he likes. But all these was taken from him because of a BITE. He couldn't be more angrier and yet he couldn't ignore the advantage he now has over average human being. Another reason was the way Thawn was talking, seems he has a history with the Grey's and he knows them well. And then something in Max told him not to try and go across Thawn since he's still new to this world of his. Thinking about everything, Max was defeated and he just have to concur with Thawn reluctantly.
'So,we find this guy and ask him anything he knows. And am going to teach you how to reach your full potential as a werewolf', Thawn continued now looking at Max
'Okay,' Max mumbled throwing his hands in the air.
'And let's keep this a secret', Thawn struggled to say with one eyebrow raised.
Max nodded and turned to go. Indeed, he has to keep it a secret surely he can't go on telling everyone how he's a freaking werewolf. Now he thought how he's going to keep it a secret from his dad and brother even for how long, Max was stopped in his train of thought as he was going as he heard footsteps behind,so he waited.
'Hey,what's your name?', Thawn called out.
'Max', He replied not looking back.
'Thawn,and you know how to find me', he said before taking off back into the nearby woods.

'How can you trust him!?', Sam snapped half furious.
'I don't know. But it seems he's a nice guy and he's telling the truth. He didn't mean to hurt my brother. He apologized', Max said in defeat
'Remember this guy is not human! I don't know why you are so quick to trust him',Sam said now furious. His best friend trusting a stranger didn't go well with him.
'Am not human too', Max said looking at his hands and images of him tearing human parts flashed across his eyes. He groaned and held his head.
'Cmon man.You are human. Don't let these side effects affect you, okay?', Sam said patting him.
'You call these side effects! I can hear your heartbeat and have the smell of a dog, can now almost lift a car, my wounds heal pretty much faster than I can imagine, I now have claws,I grow fangs! And you call these side effect. It's been weeks now, Sam. My life has changed', Max flared up lamenting making Sam to take some steps aback.
When he saw Max is now back on seat, he moved near him. 'Its okay bro. We will get through this', Sam assures him.
'Am sorry. Yeah', Max said dejectedly and shook his head. He knew he has Sam by his side and he wouldn't want to hurt him.
'You know what I fear most?,Sam said.
'What?', Max asked raising his head to look at Sam
'Its you having a tail', Sam said frankly. I can't imagine that happening', he added. And both chorused in a kind of laughter but deep down of Max,he wished it was just a joke he couldn't imagine growing a tail either.
*********
Luke and Daryl stared at themselves. 'You the guy my sister's falling for', he grunted
'She can't fall for you', Daryl smiled mischievously.
Luke exhales sharply and raised his middle finger with a hard smile.
'To your ass hole, brother,' Daryl smiled back, then Luke went away as Gina came in.
'Are you enjoying your stay here?, She asked.
'Sure. of course', Daryl replied as he looked over where Luke went and winked at him but Luke didn't wink back.
'What will you like to eat?', Gina asked clapping her hands.
'Huh...I don't eat,' he said. And both chuckled. 'A joke actually,I don't eat outside', Daryl added with a smile.
'But here is not outside',she said
'Am full already", he said calmly
'Hmm. Okay. So, where did you come from?', She asked as both sat on the sofa.
'Oh,where did I come from, can I remember?', Daryl cracked a smile knowing fully well that he couldn't really tell her.
'Cmon,you make creepy jokes!', she said tugging Daryl by his arm and both chuckled. But Daryl looked around and saw nothing of much information on what he's looking for.
*********
'Where is he?', Kado asked as Thawn finished his story.
'You need to calm down,Okay!. We can't risk letting others know. You know it could cause a disaster', Thawn warned sternly.
'But how is that possible?', Kado asked still trying to wrap his head on what his brother told him.
'I don't know maybe it's Fate. He's the first to get BITTEN that I know of, am telling you this because I trust you, Kado. We should keep it a secret for now till we are sure how we can contain him. We don't know how strong he can get', Thawn said
'What do you mean? He can't be stronger than us direct descendants of werewolves', Kado argued
'I fought him once , and he's no small wolf', Thawn cautioned remembering his little scuffle with Max at the party where he first caught his scent.
'I will have to find out myself', Kado grinned looking eager to meet with the BITTEN his brother talked about.
'I have to meet with Grey now' Thawn said.
'Okay. No problem', Kado pats Thawn who entered into the darkness. Then not too far from them, a human shadow could been seen transforming to a wolf and running into the woods at a fast pace.

'What do you have for me? A muscular man said not looking the wolf's side. Then the wolf changed to human.
'Thawn and his brother', the human said.
'Yeah?', the muscular man replied not concentrating on him.
'Seems they have a secret wolf', the man said.
'And whose this wolf?', the muscular man asked now fully concentrating on the human
'A BITTEN', the human said.
'A BITTEN'? Fauge asked well.
'Yes. And it also seems like Thawn is working with the Hunters', The human added.
'He doesn't deserve to be an Alpha', the man growled. 'He is a traitor ,and both of them deserve to die', Fauge said now standing
'What do we do?', the human asked
'We take the BITTEN,we need to get our hand on him before others can. This will be another underworld war', Fauge declared.

'I really want to thank you for everything, Gina', Daryl said dropping the cup in his hand
'Yeah.its fine since you didn't eat anything and just drank liquor. Am fine with it though', she replied with a smile.
'Thats just my favorite,and I can't resist the flavour', he said.
'Okay then. Will you be able to find your way back?', Gina asked.
'Yeah. Sure', Daryl said with a smile but this time more it seems creepy.

'Am not comfortable working with you', Grey announced with a clenched fist.
'I know',Thawn said nodding with his palm on his forehead.
'But I have to do it to save Humanity',Grey said. They both examined the weapons on ground
'These are all soaked in wolfsbane', Thawn said sniffing and Grey nodded
'Yeah. What do you expect?', Grey asked rhetorically
'Nothing more', Thawn answered anyway. 'Am gathering information on who our enemy may be and I will tell you once I get a new info. For now we know they are the Savages', he added.
'Yes. And they have done a great job clearing their paths. They don't leave much behind except weapons, unignorable weapons.' Grey noticed.
'And do you think that's coincident?, Thawn asked looking at Grey.
'I don't. I think they want us to know they are around. But how they are hiding themselves we don't know. As far as we know they maybe hiding in plain sight', Grey replied not looking at Thawn but simply walked past him.
Thawn sighs 'When will his grudge end?', he thought. 'And do you think someone on the inside is helping them?', he asked.
'I may choose the fact that I ignored this feeling. But I don't know who it could be', Grey said
'We have to be careful. And am really sorry Grey. I really am. She was like a mother to me too. But I wasn't powerful enough to protect her. But now I promise,I will do everything in my power to protect you and your family', Thawn said solemnly.
' We don't need your protection,' Grey snapped back.
'Yes you will do now', Thawn replied with his fangs showing.
*********
A dark silhouette of a man wearing a hat walking for a few moments just stopped. Sighing,he looked to his side and there were some men already present who bowed slightly as he looked towards them.
'We have every reason to be more careful now, they have a new breed. It's called the BITTEN'. We kill the Vampire , we kill the BITTEN and we kill them all, Grey is soft but I am not', he said and after his statement then he removed his hat which showed his face with a claw like scar.
