START OF PART 2

Dex's POV

My head stung, and I was sure I heard someone calling my name. I felt sick, and I touched my head. It was sticky with blood. I tried to heal myself, but nothing happened. Nick wasn't answering me either, but I was sure I could feel his presence. It just wasn't very strong.

"Dex!" A voice made me snap my eyes open. Kyra stood there like she'd seen a ghost. I guess I was the next closest thing. The next thing that happened, was mind blowing. She hugged me.

As soon as her arms met my skin though I pushed her away. Her face turned a bit red and I heard her mutter something like a 'Sorry'. Just to set the record strait, I hated being touched. It just felt weird.

"Hey your okay." Another voice said. JJ. "I thought that werecat had gotten you for good."

"Where's Mae?" I asked, looking for my sister. Only she'd know why I was going crazy.

"You don't remember?" Kyra said, her voice suddenly serious. "She tried to kill us. Her and her Pride."

It felt like a blow to the gut. If Mae was with the Pride, and I was with the Order, than that meant I was part of the Order too.

"Crap! Crap, crap, crap!" I screamed.

"You alright kid?" Red asked, coming into the room. "You look like you just saw Mae, herself."

"What just happened?" I asked.

"Well we tried your plan to catch the werecats, nice try though. Mae got out though."

"Then she's planning to come here in three days!" I said, remembering my own plan.

Nick! I called into my head Please I need you! I feel so... alone!

So you finally except it? Nick's familiar voice asked.

What? Oh sure, whatever. I just need to go home! I told him.

You seem off today. Where's my whole, I'm not a werecat and I'm going crazy! He said in his sarcastic voice.

I was never going crazy, except now... I'm not supposed to be here! I called.

Good plan. Let's go pledge your alliance to your sister! He said, being unhelpful. Mainly because I was disgusted by the idea that she was a higher werecat than me. I wasn't sure where this feeling was coming from, but they where defiantly here.

No. That's the last thing I plan to do. I think I'd rather pay Mae a little visit myself. I said.

Whoa. You need to calm yourself. You can't shift! You've never done it before!

Watch me! I challenged.

You're insane!

Coming from you.

I'm not sure where this is coming from, but you sound like a Alpha. You can't be. Lana made sure of that. She is an Alpha, not you. Nick said.

Maybe in this life, but not in another.

What are you going to do?

I tuned him out. I didn't need to listen to his muzzle-full of insults. Although I can be pretty scary when I want to be. I saw the members of the Order looking at me, with worry in their eyes.

I shoved past then, leaving them with baffled faces. They deserved it. As soon as I got deep enough I'm the forest, I tried to shift, but found it harder than last time. Must be this another life deal.

I sat down on a log, hoping for something to change, so that I could go home. Only what was I waiting for? I wasn't sure. I bit my lip and sighed. I should probably get back, before dark.

"Well who do we have here?" A voice called behind me. Mae.

"Leave me alone!" I shouted back.

"I would have, but you seem to have wondered into my territory." She hissed and then I realized she was right. "I was going to wait, but now is just as time as any!" Then she lunged for me.

Without my cat form I was defenceless because I had no idea about anything Order related. I ducked just in time and started shaking. Tears streamed down my cheeks, for some unknown reason. That's when I felt it. The power.

I shifted into my werecat form, feeling like I had returned home. With Mae's baffled face I jumped to her feet, knocking her off balance. She stumbled to the ground and I shifted all my weight to her. Lily figured that was the only way to keep me down.

"Let me go!" She snapped. "I'm your Alpha."

"Your not my Alpha little one. I'm a Alpha all on my own." I hissed.

"You're part of the Order!" She snapped.

"No. I am a werecat."

Then I woke up.

Mae's POV

Dex woke up screaming. I rushed to his side, and he quickly hugged me. That was weird enough on it's own. He never hugged anyone, even before the whole werecat incident. His eyes were glowing red, which was never a good sign. It meant there was something wrong

"What's wrong?" I asked.

He quickly explained his dream, in which we'd switched places. Strangely enough, I'd always wondered about that. He sounded extremely... disturbed by it all. I was kind of glad when he finished. I was disturbed by the sound of it.

"That's a strange dream." I said.

"I think... I was just before you and I started talk gibberish." He said.

"What was I doing?" I asked

"Trying to kill me."

"Delightful."

After that we started to pack up our make shift camp. I had stolen some money from some nearby campers so we'd be taking the bus home, today. I was excited to finally get back to Cloudcroft, the others... not so much.

Ashley hummed as we started walking and we made ourselves presentable. It was harder than you'd think, especially with Dex. He refused to do anything we asked him to. Especially with his hair.

We got to the bus station right as the bus pulled in and we jumped in. Ashley sat by the window, staring into space. Dex was asleep, and twitching badly. I bought him a neck pillow, so he was using that. Finally I was reading a magazine. I glanced up, and noticed there was a girl staring right at me.

I shifted uncomfortably in my seat. I hated it when I knew someone was watching me, but I couldn't claw them to shreds without the whole universe learning my secret. I stole another glance at the girl. She had long blond hair, with pink highlights. Also blue eyes. She was with another blond, with short wavy hair, and a girl with dark skin and black hair. The other two had their eyes shut, tightly.

The girl saw me looking at her and she smiled. Not a friendly smile, but it looked like me when I knew I had trapped my prey. We kinda were trapped. I fingered the knife on my side. Ya I still had that. It had a golden blade, that I couldn't touch, but the grip, now that was all good.

The girl nudged her sleeping companions to consciousness, and whispered something to them. Now they were all staring at us. I was thinking what would happen if a fight broke out. I could probably take out two of them, and I wasn't sure if Ashley was trained in hand to hand combat. Dex would be pretty useless unless he could shift. And he couldn't.

That's when one of them, the girl with short bond hair came up to me. I blinked in confusion and she got down close to my ear and whispered something.

"Where is he, werecat?" She said, her voice in a hushed tone. Well that meant she knew that much, but how?

"What? Who are you?" I asked, trying to play a innocent, confused passenger. Not a werecat. Just a stupid human.

"Come." She said, and she dragged me to the back of the bus into the bathroom. I really hope I wasn't going to be missed. She locked the door behind us and I pulled my knife on her. I wasn't in the mood for strange people games.

"Who are you?" I snapped, putting the golden blade to her throat. It didn't burn her, but she did seem a slight bit alarmed, but who wouldn't be.

"That's from the Order." She said, glancing at the knife. "How did you get it?"

"I'm part of the Order." I snapped. It was true. Mostly.

"But your a werecat." She said, something about her tone made it seem like she was stating a fact of life.

"What gives you that impression?" I asked.

"Ava can sense shifters." The girl sighed, "You and your two friends are werecats."

"Okay..." I said, and put away the knife. I sure hoped there weren't cameras in here.

"So who did you get this jacket from?" She asked, trying to play it nice. In truth I'd stolen the jacket from Dillan.

"Borrowed it from a friend. Without asking, or plans to return it." I said, a smile on my lips.

"It belongs to a friend. His name is Dillan." She said.

"The werecat?"

"You know him?"

"I stole this from him!" I exclaimed.

"Where is he now? Is he okay? Did he find June?" She rapid-fired questions at me, like a concerned parent. Yeesh.

"Relax. He's fine. Now who are you and your friends?" I asked.

"The girl with long blond hair is Ava, she's a owl shifter. The other is Eliva and she is a coyote shifter." The girl said. "And you?"

"My name's Mae. My friends are Ashley and Dex." I said, "Now who are you?"

"I'm Willow. And I'm a werewolf."
