The Wolfs Maine - By Jinni James Page 0,60

they do not usually like to. Sun light drains their energy and the sun is out and proud today.

We walk up towards the house careful not to draw attention to ourselves. Luckily this house is down a long driveway in the woods. It is far enough from the main road that you cannot actually see anything but the porch light at night. We sneak up to the house but all the shades are closed, as well as the doors. It is late in the afternoon so everyone is probably resting and getting ready for the night ahead.

Andrew and I both examine the house, walking around the entire house twice then finally settling behind some trees and bushes to steak the place out. Luckily Andrew and I have known each other and worked together for so long we both know what the other is thinking. We figured this would be a safe way of figuring out what they were up to, and if one or all of them leave the house we will know and can follow. The frustrating part is just sitting here looking at a house with nothing going on. My senses suddenly kick in to overdrive. I hear something coming behind us. Andrew and I both look at each other and we were about to take off running when I see him. The man standing in front of us was tall, obviously well built, but dirty looking. His hair was stringy and getting in his eyes which were red giving away what he was. Shit, he has a gun and it is pointed right at us.

"Well, gentlemen glad you could join us." He swishes his hair out of his eyes.

"Shift into your human form and follow me. Throw these clothes on; no one wants to see your junk."

He tosses some clothes towards us and Michael and I both know this is our only chance. We shift into human form, what choice did we have? We put on the t shirts and jeans the vamp threw at us and proceeded to follow him towards the house.

The house was almost run down. It had white paint chipping off of it and some poles on the front porch seemed to be broken. Surely with the money Nicholas had he could afford some place nicer than this. As we walk into the front door the first person we see is Nicholas standing in the middle of the room with another vamp standing next to him. Both had a gun.

"So nice of you boys to join us. Didn't anyone tell you that it is impolite to hang around someone's house without announcing yourself?"

"Didn't anyone tell you that it is impolite to stalk people Nicholas? How did you find us?"

Nicholas let out a laugh.

"I cannot stalk my own wife." He knew that was the one sentence that would get to me and I took an unconscious step forward.

"Oh no no... You boys stand right there or my vamp friend here will shoot you and then we will go kill MY WIFE and anyone that is with her." Andrew and I were stuck, completely stuck with no plan whatsoever.

"All right, Nicholas. What is your plan?" He lets out another laugh that just makes my insides split.

"Wouldn't you like to know? Well, thanks to my little friend that has been in touch with you this entire time, you might know him, JR. He has told me exactly where you have been and what your plans are. You thought you could hunt me down? That is hilarious. No John, I have hunted you. You might like to be a wolf but a vampire can out hunt anything or anyone, it is what we do. Now that you boys are here you are going to lead my lovely ‘might as well be’ wife here as well." This man is insane.

"What do you mean we are going to lead her here? They are not going to go anywhere."

"So you think do you John? Well, I believe something else entirely. Once Avalon gets word that you are being held here she will come running if she loves you the way you think she does. I can see the two of you in your memory right now. That love is rare and more importantly I would like to point out not yours to share with her. Now while I do not want her anymore I do not want her with anyone. How dare she betray me?"

"What did you think she was
