How Long Do We Hide For?

She looked over at the clock. "I'm sorry, I have to go."

Dallas reached forward and rested his hand on the side of her face, pressing a gentle kiss to her lips and whispering, "I'll kill him, then we'll start again. Get to know each other again."

She kissed him back. "I know you will."

Dallas smiled a bit before getting to his feet and leaving.

She watched him go, and she walked into the forest.

"Rose, you and Chauncey go to the den and stay hidden until me or the others come back. There is someone dangerous in town, we need to get rid of him before he gets rid of us."

"But dad I want to help." She told him as she stood up.

"No Rose,"

Chauncey shifted human and hooked his arm through Rosile's arm, "Come on, Rose."

"Fine." She sighed. "Promise me that you will come back though."

"Promise." He replied with a nod.

"Now come on, times - a - wasting!" Chauncey declared rather cheerfully, dragging Rosaile off in the direction of the den.

Rosalie looked at Dallas as Chauncey pulled her away.

Dallas gave her a reassuring smile before shifting into his fox form and going to find the others.

"Don't worry. Alpha'll be fine." Chauncey assured her as he walked.

"I hope so, I basically lost my mum, I don't want to lose my dad to."

Exactly an hour later, Hermione was pushed into a cave where the waterfall started, and a man was behind her, loading a gun, his skin tanned and he looked well muscled with dark looming eyes and as Hermione moved to the water, he dragged her back. "Not yet Hermione."

"Please, I'm thirsty, you know what would happen to an immortal if we don't drink the water after three hundred years." She looked at him and watched him tie her to a wall, far enough away from the water.

From behind, suddenly, several foxes jumped on the guys back and began ripping into him refuel sky. Dallas in his human form untied Hermione and pushed her gently towards the water before shifting into a fox and helping the rest of his pack.

---
"I know,"

When they got to the den, she looked at him. "Chauncey..."
____

Hermione managed to drink some of the water and at her touch, the water glowed a beautful golden colour.

"Mm?"

---
Dallas and the rest of the pack mauled into the man ruthlessly, letting instinct take them over. Simply aiming to kill him and kill him quick, no matter how messy it'd be.

She suddenly hugged him. "Thank you."
_____

"Guys stop, it's over." Hermione told them.

Chauncey seemed a little uncomfortable at first before relaxing and hugging her back, "What for?" he asked quietly.

---
Dallas pulled back then and snapped his jaws rather viciously at the others to make them stop. Shifting human and walking to Hermione.

Hermione was watching the water as she swirled her fingers through it.
_____

"For being here the past year."

"What's so special about this water?" Dallas asked.

---
Chauncey just gave a shrug, "T'is what the pack is for, we're all here for each other - no matter what." he told her.

"I know, but you're the only one who has really paid any specific interest in me." She shrugged.
_____

She looked at him. "This is actually my life force." She told him. "The water is powerful enough to turn the drink immortal, but that person will then becomme dependant on it....Just like me and Hunter have."

Dallas gave a nod of understanding and just watched the water silently.

----
Chauncey just shrugged a bit, giving her a small smile.

"What do we do now?" She asked him quietly.
______

She smiled and looked up at the sky. "It's getting late." She sighed and shifted into a fox.

"He'll come back soon, they all will." Chauncey assured.

---
"The others are heading back, if you join us, I'm sure Rose would like to see you again."

"So you keep saying." She moved to lie in the den. "Come and lay with me?"
_______

Hermione nodded. "I'd love to see her."
