His mind roved deeply around that question. 'Why did you come here...' "Because...my friend's dad asked me to be here." "Your true reason." He hardened. "Well...I came here to learn combat so I could teach a few conceited bastards a lesson." He punched his palm. Wu laughed heartily. "You sure that's why you are here?" Maks eyed him from head to toe. "Yes. I'm walking on a thin line, I might actually lose my scholarship. I need to fend for myself." "You start immediately." "What? So do we have like a schedule?" He was quick to overreact. He blushed. "Because, I have school to go to and a job." Wu cupped the end of his sleeves together. "We start at dawn." "Will you get me to use light energy balls like that?" "Perhaps." He teased walking toward the valley. Maks lurched when Wu jabbed him in the shoulder with a forefinger. Regardless it felt like he had been jabbed in the heart by defibrillator pads. A shock went through his body and suddenly felt like his spirit would

She slowly pulled the trigger firing on him darts him all over his back.[ No use being a big animal ] He dashed forward and slid past under her legs and fled west. The Huntsman groaned and he looked at himself and her fuming at the carnivorous rodent running away."Really?" He said and fainted."He's on the run." She hurried after him shooting. Maks transitioned into a rhinoceros beetle and glided off."Wherever you go! I will follow you to the ends of the earth!"She gripped her ankle when it stung. Maks stumbled outside of their range and he puffed running. The dog outran him. His mongoose senses were still wearing off. He had bitten a man previously. He wished there were not so many humans in plain sight, too many cars. He ducked because of the possibility of hawks or some other bird of prey and he exhaled. His body slowly morphed back.[ I'm never gonna get used to this thing. ]He said at an alley.His sanity slowly recovered but he hid from dogs or hawks j

Melvin hardened. "Maks, if you could just let me...focus on my driving, I'd be thankful, please?" He hardened when Melvin avoided eye contact.He grinned and turned up the radio. They stopped at the house and Maks exhaled, his heart churning at the long-forgotten topic. What happened to Emily? Melvin left the jeep first and he met Doreen at the pavement and kissed her. He snorted at them. Elvis wet himself on the car seat. He lurched facing him and groaned...."Dad!" Jessica giggled running into his arms. He swung her around. Hoisting her up and kissing her cheek. Maks dabbed the backseat, this was worse than cat pee. He nearly threw up spraying the car until the scent of lemon filled the air. He wheezed.Elvis whimpered."Don't look at me like that." He pointed at him and walked back into the room griping. He stopped and did a double take on Elvis when he realised something."Wait...how did you know a hellhound was close?" Elvis whimpered and faced the street distrac

The hairs on his skin tingled as he spoke. His body seemed to collect the vibrations. His vision was colored. He had to keep away from his henpecked father before he saw something. "Go away, dad." He sounded like someone else was talking through him, he covered his mouth that was now growing into creepy mandibles and whimpered. "She left me, all right? I was shattered, I couldn't bear to stay here with you in Phoenix because you remind me too much of her." Maks stiffened. "Well, does that explanation count for anything after how long you kept me in the dark? I'm seventeen for christsake! I should know better. You could have dumped me with her anyway." "I was just recruited into the marines and...she left without a note....I've moved on." Melvin said. "You sure you moved on? or you just found another cheap replacement to make me feel better. I don't. If you did move on, I'd get a whole history note about Emily without you breaking a teardrop!" He paled. "You lied to me?...""She

Ding![ Attack more Huntsmen to win points ] Maks gazed at his system panel in disbelief.Going to fight people who nearly assassinated him again was a big risk to take. "Okay, how am I supposed to find a few creeps who want me dead?" He exhaled practicing his breathing techniques. Who was he kidding? Maks wore a black hoodie, white shirt, black pants, black sneakers and his skateboard was strapped to his back. "Here goes nothing."Melvin sat at the couch tweaking at an old camera he used once and then he glanced at Maks heading for the door grinning."Son, where are you going?""I'm just going skateboarding with my friends. Dad." He recited. He smeared his dad's old grease paint across his face cleverly shielding his contours."Didn't know your firends were the sporty type." Doreen said raising an eyebrow.They were more adherent than he thought."I got it, "mom". Thank you. It's for a stunt." He said."A stunt...""Have fun." Melvin said and Doreen gaped at him s
