Tap.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

“Will you quit it!”

Mitch jumped when the woman yelled at him. He smiled and looked at her, “Sorry, I’m nervous.”

“Mitch you need to calm down. I’ll try to keep it hidden.” They looked at the man at the table.

The two were his parents. The woman had long brown hair that was up in a bun and caramel eyes. She was as tall as Mitch and an average build with a little plump. Her skin was pale and she would avoid going outside for she didn’t like to get a sunburn. “No you will keep it hidden!” She had on a nice shirt and pants.

The man sweated and chuckled. “Yes honey.” He had dark brown hair and dark gray eyes. He was six foot even and slim, his skin was darker then the woman’s but the same as Mitch’s. His cloths consisted of a pair of pants and no shirt.

“And get a shirt on!”

“Yes.” He stood and left.

“Mom. What about that?” He pointed at the book in plain sight. A spell book with seals, summons, and spells of all kinds.

“Opps sorry! I’ll go put that away.” She snatched it up and ran out of the kitchen with it in hand.

Mitch sighed and shook his head. It was hard to hide stuff. Looking over at the pot on the stove he sighed and covered his face. He had come over early to help get everything ready for dinner, only to find his mom making another concoction and his dad asleep on the couch. It didn’t help something was floating over the man’s head.

He had smacked the man over the head with a pillow and started to panic. Till his mom made him smell something and he relaxed, against his will.

At this rate he’ll die from family stress.

His mom walked in and she smiled, “Okay what else should we make. Is there anything that Jett likes that we have?”

“Jett will eat anything but tomatoes.”

“Well that helps.” She walked over to the fridge and opened it. “Hmmm… let’s see. I know I’ll just make some hamburgers!”

“That’ll work.”

He walked out of the kitchen, “I’ll call you if I need any help.”

“Okay.” He walked down the hall and stopped at the closed door. Pushing it opened he found his father looking for a shirt. “Just pick a shirt.”

“I know. I know.” He pulled one out and looked at him. “Has he asked about her yet?”

“No. But Akira isn’t stupid, he’s either figured it out or just doesn’t want to.”

“I’m surprised no one has asked why you haven’t turned yet.” He pulled the shirt on. “You were attacked by a werewolf.”

Mitch rubbed his neck and muttered, “I can still feel the pain.”

“Ah, now that must suck.”

He glared at his father. “Ass.”

“Thank you.”

“Not a compliment.” The man smiled and Mitch sighed, “I’m calling Jett.”

“Someone is going to have to tell him… it’s better than him finding out.” He looked over his shoulder at the man. “I bet Daisuke wasn’t easy when it came to talking about me.”

Mitch shrugged, “You never know.” He walked out of the room as he pulled his phone out. Pushing a few buttons he paced it against his ear. It rang and then it rang, and then… “Hello!”

“I’m on my way!”

“Don’t rush; didn’t you just get your legs fixed?”

“Yeah… and it feels different. She said there all new, lighter too. I could probably run better now.”

“That’s good. Who’s driving?”

“Ransom.” There was a loud ‘Hi’ and he grinned. “We’ll be there in a few minutes. The construction is slowing everything down.”

“That’s right.” He had forgotten about the traffic issues. “Well I’ll see you when you get here.”

“Okay see you.” The line went dead and he sighed.

His mom came around the corner and she saw him standing there, he was chewing on the antenna of the phone. “Mitch, you’re doing it again.”

Mitch turned and looked at her. “Huh?”

“Your phone.”

“Ack! Sorry.”

“Geez I thought you learned your lesson with the wooding pencil.”

He gave a nervous laugh, “Let’s not mention that little bit. Akira is already on knife restriction think what might happen to me.”

“I wasn’t the one choking on a piece of pencil.”

“Well Jett is on his way.”

“Okay.” His mom walked back into the kitchen and he followed her.

Akira sat on the chair glaring at Zev. They had just gotten back and Zev was trying to get him to stay. “Come on Akira!”

“No I’m going home.”

“Please.”

“No.”

“Pleaaase!”

“Stop begging you stupid dog.” Zev thought of trying to flip it but Akira looked at him. “No you cannot stay.”

“Damn.”

He rested his chin on the table and watched as Akira got the rest of his stuff. Standing up he quietly slipped over behind Akira. A smirked found its way on his face as he pulled Akira close licked up the back of his neck. A blushing Akira jerked away and pointed at him, “No, bad Zev!”

A grin was on Zev’s face and he moved forward. “What, it was just a harmless lick.”

The brunette found himself boxed in against the table by Zev and he narrowed his eyes. “If you don’t want to lose something then move.”

He caught the knee and smiled. “Fine one kiss.”

Akira sighed and shook his head, “Stubborn wolf.”

“It’s just one.” He was leaning closer to Akira.

“Only one I have to go check on Maria.” Strom gray eyes flicked down and back up to Zev’s eyes. “She’ll want to know I’m okay.”

They were about to kiss when something smacked Zev in the head. Both looked to see Nuri and Kaya standing there. Kaya pointed at Nuri and she jumped. “I didn’t do it!”

She screamed and ran out of the kitchen as Zev chased after her. “Get back here!”

“No! Mom he’s going to kill me!”

Kaya and Akira looked around the corner when there were two loud smacks. Zev was knelt on the ground clutching his head and Nuri was holding her head. Dawn stood over the two of them, “Your little brother and sister are asleep! Be quiet!”

“Ow… she threw it.”

“I don’t care who started it, I’ve ended it.”

Akira looked at Kaya and then back at the two wolves. “Wouldn’t want to piss her off.”

“Same.”
~~~~

Zev hissed as he touched the tender part of his head. “Damn she must have been pissed about something that really hurts.”

Akira sighed and shook his head, “She had a point you were the one shouting when there were babies sleeping.”

“Well it hurts.”

“Stop being a baby.”

When he didn’t hear Zev behind him, he stopped. Looking back he found Zev looking out at the city. You couldn’t see tall buildings anymore. All of them had been leveled in the double explosion, all schools had been canceled and it was only a matter of time before people started pointing fingers. Human and Paranormal bodies had been found left and right. Almost all of them were dead. He walked over to him and grabbed his hand. “Come on.”

The wolf gripped Akira’s hand and looked at him. “What if something bad does happen?”

“Find a way through it. Now come on I want to get home.”

“Fine.” He walked along with Akira. Then glancing down he found their hands still together, his fingers entwined with Akira’s fingers. “Your hands are cold.”

“I’m always cold.”

“How come?”

The brunette shrugged and he was jerked back against Zev. “Zev!”

Zev walked over to an alley between the houses, “Why?”

“I don’t know I just am. I’ve always been cold, never felt warm at all.” He got a weird look from Zev, “What?”

He grabbed Akira’s hands and held them together. “No I mean you’re freezing.”

“I’m fine.”Moving to pull his hands away Zev quickly pulled his coat off and gave it to Akira. “Zev, I don…” The wolf had kissed him and his whole body seemed to relax. He soon found himself kissing back. Pulling away from Akira, Zev looked at him. His hand caressed Akira’s cheek and he smiled when Akira leaned into the touch.

“I guess we should hurry.”

“Yeah.”

They started to walk again. Zev had his hands in his pockets and was looking at the ground. He started when something grabbed the back of his shirt. Looking back he saw Akira’s hand holding on to it. A grin found its way on his face as the two walked.
~~~~

Marianela walked over to the door when there was a knock. When it opened she screamed and nearly tackled Akira. “Yuki! You’re awake!”

“Yo.” The wolf waved to her and Akira walked into the house. “How are you tonight?”

“I just got done cleaning.” She quickly turned to Akira; he was three seconds from dropping the bag on the floor. “If you drop it you’ll be sleeping in the tree house!” He looked at her, you could see his lips twitch and he slung it back over his shoulder.

“Are you staying the night Zev?”

“I’d l…”

“No,” They looked at Akira, “He needs to get back to his family.”

“Yuki?”

“I’m going to bed.”

The blond turned to Zev. “Did something happen to Akira?”

He shrugged and looked at the stairwell. “It’s alright he’s probably tired. I’ll see you around.”

“Be careful… since the Sweepers stopped coming out a lot of things have been happening.”

He nodded and walked away, as he got to the gate he heard the door close. Looking at the house he sighed. ‘Night.’


Marianela looked up when she heard someone walking down the stairs. It had to be Akira, because Ransom was going to get Mitch and Jett. The water in the kitchen turned on and then stopped. “Maria.” She looked over and saw Akira.

“What is it?”

“If anyone tries to do anything to you tell me.”

The blond smiled and nodded, “You would be the first to know.” She watched as he walked away. What was going on?
~~~~

Jett sat next to Mitch at the table. “It seems a little tense in here.” He turned to Mitch, “What did you do?”

“Nothing.” They had gotten through dinner and now the two we’re waiting for Mitch’s parents to come back into the kitchen. “Mom and dad have little spats and they usually do them in the other room.”

Mitch was panicking, his father almost made something fly across the room. If he hadn’t jumped up like he did, it would have hit the wall and Jett would start questioning. He looked at Jett and smiled, “Your really bad at hiding things but really good at not tell what it is.”

He leaned closer to Jett and smiled, “Really?” His chair was pulled closer and he nuzzled his neck. “I’m done eating what about you?” He started to nip at his neck.

“I-I’m done… nngh…” That mouth was playing with his ear. He started to grip the front edge of the chair as Mitch sucked on his ear lobe. “Mitch what about…” There was a knock at the door and he glanced at Mitch.

“I’ll get it.” Mitch’s mother ran over to the door. “Oh hello Ransom how are you doing?”

“Great. Do I have to take them home or are they staying?”

They both turned when Mitch took off down the hall dragging Jett behind him. “We’re staying!” The black haired male waved and then the door to the guest room slammed shut.

“I’ll just head home then.”

“Oh wait. Jett still doesn’t know?”

“Yeah, the day I found out shocked me. You know how hard it is to keep even Akira from finding out.”

“Mitch is stressing because of the fact that he doesn’t know how to tell Jett.”

“Just show him, I walked in on that one time…” Ransom grew quiet and sighed. “Well I better get home before Maria freaks out. After what happened to Akira… I’m surprised her hair isn’t white.”

The woman sighed, “I see. Take care of yourself Ransom.”

“Night Mrs…”

She fixed him with a stare and he grinned, “Miasha or Mom. ‘Kay?”

“Sorry.”

“Well off you go.” He left and she watched as the young male left. “What a nice boy.” She turned and walked off over to the guest door, Miasha gave a swift knock on the door.

Mitch poked his head out. “Yeah.”

“Dishes?”

“Um…” He looked over his shoulder and back at his mom. “Hold on.” A pillow smacked the back of his head and he sighed. “Fine I’m coming…” The door closed and he looked over at an almost naked Jett. “Why?” It came out as a whine and Jett pointed at the door.

He hung his head and sighed, “I’ll be here when you get back.”

“Okay I’ll hurry.”

He watched as the brunette ran out of the room. Jett sighed and laid there, he quickly fixed his pants. Rolling over he sighed, “What are you hiding?” There was a shout and Jett sat up, he quickly walked over to the door. Easing it open he peeked out.

Mitch’s dad was clutching his head as he crouched on the ground. “Damn it, that hurt.”

“You’re the one who almost broke something.” He watched as Mitch started to tug on his hair. “I can’t believe you almost gave it away!”

“I can’t control it like my sister. She was better than me when it came to being psychic.”

“Argh I’m going to go white before I’m thirty.” Miasha appeared next to him with a candle in her hand. He jumped away and glared at her. “I’m not going to relax.”

“No you’re going to help me in the kitchen.” She hooked her arm around his and dragged him off to the kitchen. “Avel.”

“I’m coming.”

Once everyone was out of the hall way Jett opened the door more and looked out. He glanced around and then quietly slipped down the hall. Yeah he was going to listen, Mitch was hiding something and he was going to find out. Stopping short of the kitchen doorway he listened.

“What are you going to do when Akira finds out?”

“I’ll cross that bridge when it comes.”

“What about Jett?”

“I’m not ready.” Jett crouched and slipped closer. He peeked around the corner and his eyes widened. Avel was standing with his back to him, his shirt off. On his back were scares, they started at the shoulder blade and ended at the lower of his back. “I’ll tell him when I’m ready.”

“Mitch you should tell him before he finds out.” Miasha held her hand out and Mitch placed a jar in her hand. “It would be better if you did.”

“I have a question. How are we going to keep Daisuke from trying to strangle me?” They both looked at Avel. “I mean I knew what she was going to do but I didn’t even try to stop her.”

“Avel it’s not your fault, Ellen told you to take me and Mitch and run. You did, if you hadn’t Mitch would have been taken from us.”

“I really don’t want to hear this.”

They looked at Mitch and both smiled. “Things happen and your one that I’ll fight to keep. Beside’s your one hell of a shot, just like you mother.”

“Aww, Avel, you still not going to get anything from me.”

“It was worth the try.” He sighed and sat in a chair. “What are we going to do about Daisuke?”

“He doesn’t know where you’re at. I won’t tell him and he’s still sore about Ellen being dead. It’s been twenty-one years now.” Mitch placed the dried dish in the cabinet and closed it. His mother snapped her finger and he handed her another jar with something floating in it. “Akira was only two when she died.”

“Then the war.” Miasha glanced at Avel.

“Yeah. Poor Daisuke, he even lost his sister.”

“He still has his other brothers.” A ladle smacked him over the head and Miasha stared at him. “What?”

“You are an ass! He doesn’t get along with his brothers only his sister. When she died he stopped going home!”

“He hasn’t left that cabin.” They all looked at Mitch. “I think he’s still waiting for her to walk through that door.” His parents stopped and looked at the floor. “He knows she’s dead but he won’t budge from that cabin. Even when I told him that Akira was most likely going to stay here in the city.”

Jett slowly stood up and then walked back to the room. Mitch knew a lot about Akira and his family. ‘Why?’ He walked over and sat at the desk. As he laid his head down he caught something out of the corner of his eye. A book was sticking out and he reached over to push it back in. Then he saw the word ‘family’. ‘Baby pictures.’ He got a smirk on his face he could so use this to embarrass Mitch.

But when he opened to the first page he stopped, “What the hell?” It finally made sense and it sure as hell answered the questions about Mitch knowing Akira like he did.
~~~

“Jett I’m done.” He stopped when he saw Jett holding a book. “What do you have there?”

“I found it sticking out of the pile in that desk.”

He smiled but the twitchy eyebrow was noticeable. “Really.”

“Yes. Now tell me, why is there pictures of you and Akira as little kids in here?”

Mitch closed the door and kept his head lowered. He sighed, “Because Akira’s mother is my father’s sister.” This was going to be a long night.
