"Great! That means we know which one we're looking for!" He responds enthusiastically.

As the two of them move through the forest, Max begins to feel something prickling at the back of her neck. Looking over her shoulder, she realizes that she's been hearing the same noise she heard earlier in the day.

Turning around, she sees him struggling to keep up. She slows down and waits for him. When he catches up to her, he smiles sheepishly.

"Sorry," he apologizes. "I haven't walked in ages."

"That's okay," she assures him.

"So, what do you think you heard?" he asks curiously.

"I don't know," she replies slowly, "but it sounds like…like something scratching."

"Something scratching?"

"Yeah. It sounded like someone was running behind us. I couldn't tell who because I was concentrating on trying to find the path through this stupid shrubbery."

"Huh. Well, I hope whoever it was isn't hiding around this area. It would be really awkward if they caught up to us."

"Me too," Max agrees. "I'd rather

After watching several movies, they decide that it's almost midnight. They stand up and start collecting their stuff."Guess we should probably go," he says."Yeah, I guess," she responds. "Thanks for letting me come with you.""Anytime," he responds. "Goodnight, Max.""Goodnight," she responds, and then they both leave the house and make their way back to their own cabins.

    "Okay, fine," he relents. "Just promise me you'll come back alive.""Of course I will," she says, placing her hand gently on his cheek. "Don't worry, okay?"She leans forward and places a gentle kiss on his forehead before turning around and starting to run. As she does, he begins to walk towards the campfire. As he walks, he keeps glancing over his shoulder every now and then to make sure Max isn't getting away from him. He doesn't have much luck spotting her, but as he makes his way past several trees and bushes, he spots her sitting down underneath one of them with her knees pulled up to her chest and her head resting on them.

She wipes away some of her tears with the sleeve of her jacket and then holds it out towards him, mo

    "What did it look like? Was it dangerous?" He asks anxiously.Max shakes his head."No. It didn't look dangerous. It looked like a normal deer. It was pretty easy to defeat.""That's not very reassuring," he points out."Well what could we have done?" He asks. "We couldn't let it get away, otherwise it might hurt someone else."Everyone is silent for a moment as they mull over the situation. A loud howl fills the air once again, this time followed by a low moan of anguish and pain. Everyone looks up at the same time to see the monster lying on the ground. Its entire body is covered in red and black scales. Its claws protrude out of the ends of its fingers."Oh God," he whispers. "Is that another werewolves!""Looks like it," he replies. "And it's a big one.""How do we kill it?" He asks anxiously.He takes a quick glance at Max. Seeing that she hasn' said anything yet, he decides that it's probably best if he talks to her about it."Max?" he asks tentatively. "Do you want to talk abou

    Before it can react, Max shoots it in the stomach. This is not exactly the reaction that the creature hoped for, but the surprise makes it lose its balance, so its legs turn around before collapsing on top of each other and crashing to the ground. The children watch as the creature struggles to regain its balance and tries to pull itself up. Once it manages to stand upright once more, it lets out a scream of anger. A loud roar echoes throughout the forest and the kids instinctively cover their ears.It's obvious that the monster isn't going to stop anytime soon so, without saying a word, him, who has the fastest reflexes amongst the group, grabs his bow and aims at the monster's head. He attack the arrow right through the werewolves. Immediately, the werewolves collapses onto the ground, twitching and moaning in agony. The kids stare at it wide eyed, wondering if the monster will ever get up again. Suddenly, a voice comes out of nowhere and they're completely thrown off guard by it.

But instead of hitting him, the monster hits the ground right next to him. He jumps back up and shoots three more arrows in quick succession, hitting the monster in the shoulder. The werewolves winces at the arrows that hit it and lets out another painful screech. When it does, he sees him standing behind the monster.

    The two went into the bathroom and changed into their pajamas, which was a white teddy bear onesie. As soon as Max was finished undressing himself, Sophie helped him out of his clothes and wrapped him in her arms. “Thank you baby, you don’t know how happy this makes me feel.” Max whispered against her chest. Sophie chuckled and pressed a kiss on the side of his head. “I hope that you get the rest you need sweetie, I know it must have been exhausting to keep on working all day.” Sophie said as she rubbed Max’s back. “Well, it was alright, I just wish I didn’t have to work so hard.” Max responded. “I know, it’s hard. But we’re going through this thing together and we’re going to figure it out together.” Sophie assured him. Max hummed in agreement and they hugged one last time before getting under the covers.

    “It will be alright, babe. Everything is going to be fine.” Sophie tried to breathe deeply, trying to regain her composure. She knew that nothing was going to be okay if her parents won’t visit the baby, but that wasn’t going to be happening anytime soon. “We’re going to raise this baby together. Your parents are coming to us. I won’t let them leave us behind.” Sophie laughed softly. “That sounds like something a supervillain would say.” Max laughed along with her, kissing Sophie’s forehead.They sat side by side on the edge of the pool. Max was playing with Sophie’s hair absentmindedly, stroking her hair through the wet strands. The water glistened underneath them, reflecting their faces. Sophie had her chin resting on Max’s shoulder. It was peaceful, just the two of them in the middle of nowhere, with nowhere to be except for this private place where they could hide from everyone and everything. Max’s house was huge, and there were so many rooms to explore, but Sophie and Max fo

    Sophie feels so happy with her husband Max, she kept kissing him so passionately in his office, that Max finally asked for a break and they made out on the couch until Sophie felt so breathless it was almost painful to stand up straight. They were still holding hands, Sophie could feel Max’s calloused fingers around hers, as he walked them towards their bedroom. He pressed against Sophie, making his way down slowly until they reached the bed where he pushed her onto the mattress. Sophie giggled as he crawled over her. She felt like she could burst with happiness every time he came home from work after long days at the hospital, when it had taken him hours to go home and rest. He told her that he always needed a few minutes before going home, to calm himself before facing her, because seeing her face was such a beautiful sight. He said that even though she looked tired, her eyes were sparkling like stars. Sophie knew that he didn’t lie to her. His green eyes sparkled as well, and

    “I love you, Sophie” he said huskily, staring deeply into her eyes. She smiled at him lovingly before she pressed her lips against his once more, pulling him even closer. She reached down and grabbed hold of the hem of his T-shirt, pulling it over his head quickly and tossing it to the floor. He stood up from the bed and pulled his boxers off. Once his pants and shoes were discarded to the ground, he crawled back up on top of her. He held himself above her, hovering over her body. He stared down at her, studying her features carefully. “Are you sure about this?” He mumbled, staring intently into her eyes. She smiled sweetly and wrapped her arms around his neck. “Yes. I want you so badly. I’ve waited too long. Let me show you exactly what I mean.” She whispered. “Show me.” He whispered back. She slipped one of her legs between his knees and placed both of her hands around his neck. With a swift movement, she yanked on his hair and rolled onto her back. “Oh yeah, Max!” She cried

    “Missed you too.” She replied. The next moment, she felt Max’s hands traveling slowly up her back. When he was touching her, goosebumps appeared on her arms. He noticed how tense she became and immediately stopped moving. He stared at her for a long time without saying a word. She raised her head and looked directly into his eyes. His expression told her everything. He was completely mesmerized by her, and he didn’t know how to react anymore. “Max, please…” Sophie breathed, breaking the silence. She needed him right now. “I’ll stop.” He mumbled. “No, Max. Please don’t stop, I need you.” She pleaded, looking at him with those big beautiful blue eyes. Her hands were gripping onto the sides of his face, pleading with him to not stop. His eyes softened and he took his hands off of her and moved them behind her neck. He pulled her closer and connected their lips together. As soon as their lips touched she felt her entire body shiver. It felt nice. Her arms slowly started circling h

    Max broke the kiss first, his breathing heavily. He kept his head close to hers, his eyes staring deep into hers. He caressed her cheeks with his hands and smiled. Her eyes were filled with tears. She was crying. He wiped away the tears that flowed from her eyes with his thumb. “Are you okay?” He asked worriedly. “Yea. I’m fine,” she replied softly, sniffling. “Just...just happy.” She said, letting out a quiet sob. He pulled her closer to him and wrapped his arms around her. “Me too, I’m just really happy that I can hold you in my arms again.” He whispered against her hair. She looked up at him and kissed his nose. She couldn’t help smiling. “You’re so adorable.” She whispered, nuzzling her nose against his. He smiled. He knew exactly why she was acting like that. She was nervous. She was scared that he might leave her if she confessed what she really felt. He understood perfectly well why she was acting that way. But that wasn’t something he was going to allow to happen. He

    Max shivered involuntarily and Sophie immediately put her arms around him. They stood like that for a minute or two, feeling each other’s warmth, enjoying the feeling of the other person beside them. Once they had calmed down, they went upstairs to get changed out of their damp clothes. After they had gotten dressed, they were seated on the couch in the living room watching TV. Sophie was resting her head against his shoulder and was looking at him expectantly. He had an idea and a grin crept across his face. He gently leaned forward and kissed her forehead. She blushed lightly. She looked up at him questioningly and raised an eyebrow. “What’s this for?” She asked curiously. Max smiled happily. “It’s nothing special. It’s just a thank you kiss. A very special thanks. Now go and get ready, we’re going to go somewhere very special tomorrow.” He said smiling happily. Sophie jumped to her feet. She hugged him tightly. “Yes! Thank you!” She whispered excitedly. He chuckled and held he

    “Do you wanna talk about what’s bothering you? We don’t need to talk if you don’t want us to.” He spoke softly, hoping that she wouldn’t hate him for asking. Sophie’s shoulders dropped a bit. “No, we should probably talk. It will make everything easier for both of us if we talk it out.” She replied quietly. Max nodded. As soon as he parked the car in their parking lot, he turned off the ignition. Sophie looked confused as well as nervous. She opened her door slowly. Max grabbed her hand before she closed it. She looked back at him with a questioning gaze. “Are you sure? You don’t have to do this if you’re uncomfortable.” He assured her. Sophie looked thoughtful for a minute. “I just wish my mom wouldn’t make a big deal out of everything. She’s never liked me dating guys.” She confessed. “My father and my sister always support me and they’ve been great about my dating life, but they always treat me different when I bring boys home.

    Max kept staring at Sophie, the most beautiful girl he ever seen, she always looks so perfect for him and he always want to kiss her. She was smiling in his direction, which made his heart flutter inside his ribcage. She was the first one to notice his stare. “Hey, don’t look like you just saw a ghost. You’re making me nervous!” She laughed. Her laugh is beautiful too but Max didn’t mind it that much because her laugh was always contagious, even though he knows she probably wasn't talking about laughing at him. He smiled back at her, trying not to blush. “Sorry. I’m just admiring how gorgeous you are today. And your smile is so bright! I can already tell you will make many handsome suitors when you graduate this university in the next five years!” He said with a cheesy grin plastered on his face as if he would actually have any chance of winning her hand.

    Still, the moment that he met Ms. Anderson, he realized that he couldn’t hold on to all the negative feelings that he had harbored for a while. After all, she didn’t treat him any differently, except for her son. She treated him the same way she would treat anybody else, no matter if they were born here or not. And so far, she had never once done anything to indicate that she would be unhappy with the situation he had found himself in.“Well, I’m glad to hear that. Now, do you want something to drink? I’ll get it ready right now. Do you want to sit down anywhere or should I go upstairs and get the glasses out for you?” she questioned, looking at him.“You don’t have to worry about me. I’ll be fine by myself,” he said, waving his hand dismissively.With that said, she got up from the sofa, headed towards the stairs, and headed up.Max looked around the living room.
