Aurora was almost aghast... "Damn... being paranoid actually did something good for me?" She hadn't really been expecting Jonas to say that... it almost hurt...
"And no... I don't like it. I don't like it one bit... but if you say this works... I will." She swallowed, swallowed her breath and swallowed her pride. "I will."

Jonas frowned, "I'm sorry for this." He pulled his wrist up and bit it lightly. He put his wrist near her mouth, "I am truely sorry..."

Yakov didn't stop running until he reached Luka's room. He almost burst right in, considered knocking, and then burst in anyway. "Luka! She's taken him. He's gone. She took him!"
~~~~~~
Luka woke up rather groggily and she wasn't exactly willing to leave the dream she'd been having, but her brother, in the understatement of the year, sounded worried, so she figured it at least had to be important. Still clinging to Connor and sleep, she found some control over her voice. "Calm down hun. Who took who now?"
~~~~~~
Yakov took a deep breath. He found himself fighting back tears. "Brittany. She has Jeff."
~~~~~~
Luka heard the word 'Brittany' and snapped to attention. This accompanied by the idea that that b***h actually had Jeff made her want to kill something...preferable Brittany. "Details boy, snap to it."
~~~~~~
Yakov rattled out the details, going all the way back to the encounter in the mall. "I need him back Sis...and I need this b***h to get off us."
~~~~~~
Luka let out a murderous snarl. "I don't know what the hell that b***h is thinking. I made it very clear to her that I would not tolerate her interfering with what is mine. Come on Connor. We're going wer hunting."

Curtis kept his arm about Katra's shoulder as they walked out to the car in the dark, and managed to hold her hand while they drove out to the cabin.
"I wonder... would trying to transform into your wolf-self when we get home hurt you? If you think it will, it's best not to try it but... if it doesn't make you uncomfortable, it might be able to help you cling to your wolf-self, if that is what you want."
***
This was one of those times that Connor was wise enough to not argue with Luka. He pulled on his coat and boots and followed her lead.

Kat sqweezed his hand lightly. "It didn't hurt last night, it just took me a second longer than usual to focus on changing. But I have no idea, it's a great idea though. We coulld go for a run." She smiled half-heartedly. She was still worried about what she had done that morning to his arm but the thought of going back to her were form was friendly and inviting.
When they pulled up to the cabin, Kat let go of his hand and started stripping. She couldn't wait to be wolf again, it meant not worrying about what her vampire half. Her stomach knoted as she remembered she hadn't fed yet but she figured in wolf form it wouldn't bother her as much.
She opened the door and got out quickly. Taking a few seconds to focus her will on changing she was suddenly in her small and furry wolf form.

Luka did what had gotten her so many promotions so quickly. She channeled her raw fury into decisive command. "Connor, I'd rather not have anyone die at this point in time so bring something silver that you can easily control should we need it. Yakov, do you think you can make out Jeff's scent even though they traveled by car?" She stopped him as he opened his mouth to protest. "I know, 'I would have followed it in the first place'. You were panicing, you probably weren't really looking."
~~~~~~
Yakov shook his head. "I really don't think so Sis. The trail just died."
~~~~~~
Luka sighed. "We'll have to do this the hard way then." She turned her attention back to Connor. "We're going to need your truck. If something's wrong with Jeff, I really don't want to have to carry him." So looked over Yakov and Connor once more. "Alright people, let's move."

Jeff wrapped his arms around himself. He was scared shitless. There was just something about Brittany that made him weak. The sudden loss of all will power scared the hell out of him. She was babling on about some random nonsence but Jeff had a creapy feeling that anytime now, she was going rip his pants off and he would not be able to stop her. He would be betraying Yakov and that hurt him the most.

Brittany finished cleaning Jeff's face and then took him to the kitchen to wash out his hair. Once that was done, she told him to go sit on the couch while she made him a sandwhich. She made him a rather giant ham sandwhich with pretty much everything she could think to put on it. She brought it out to Jeff. "Do you want something to drink with that?"

The truck bounced and rattled along the road. Connor had only pushed it this far when he was driving away packs of vengeful, savage wolves. Because he was following Yakov's nose and Luka's directions, he often took turns a little too sharply. Occasionally two the truck's tires would life off the ground.
***
Curtis was not far behind Katra in transforming. He wouldn't be leaving her alone this time - not after last night.

They drove until they reached the alley. Luka commanded a stop and jumped out of the car. She sniffed the air and the ground and observed the tire tracks. "Well, we know she headed off that way. We can follow the tracks as far as they go. If she lives around here, we are likely to pick up her scent again." She turned to Connor. "I don't suppose you've heard of any suspicious activities around that would narrow the search."

Jeff held onto the sandwhich but didn't eat. Was she poisioning him? He started visibly shaking. He just wanted to be in his room with Yakov, was that so hard to ask for?!
-----
Kat bounded around in front of Curtis. It felt wonderful to stretch her wolf legs. She wasn't sure what they were going to do but as long as Curtis was happy she would be too.

"I thought I could hunt a bit tonight," Curtis told her as they ran. "I'm not in the mood to cook tonight. I don't suppose you'd like to hunt with me? Or do you know how?"
***
"I've been with you pretty much constantly for the last few days," Connor reminded her. Her leap out of the truck had startled him and had caused him to screech to a nearly neck-breaking halt.

Kat was a little startled. Of course she had never learned how to hunt, she had no mentor, her creator had been less than savory, or any contact with other weres save when she met Curtis. She felt a little ashamed of her lack of skills in hunting. Her mind drifted back into the past. She grew slightly vacant and shivered.

She pointed at Connor and then turned in the direction of the tracks and began walking...stalking was really more appropriate.
Yakov and his sister had never looked more alike in their lives. They both headed down the street sniffing as they went. They simultaneously looked up at each other and then ran.
~~~~~~
Brittany saw Jeff was shaking. "Oh hunny. It's alright. You don't..." She heard a knock the door. "Who one earth?" She opened it and was horribly shocked to find Luka standing there. "Why..."
~~~~~~
Luka stood just outside, arms folded. "Out of my way whore."
~~~~~~
Brittany was flabber gasted. "You can't just come to my house and..."
~~~~~~
Luka b***h slapped her across the face and was kneeling over top of her the second she hit the floor. "I told you not to mess with my things."
~~~~~~
Yakov ran into the room the second Luka cleared the doorway. "Jeff!"

Jeff sat there with his mouth agape, the sandwich dropped from his hands. He felt like he had betrayed their relaionship, he felt horrible.
"Yakov...we...I...I promise we didn't do anything! I'm sorry!
