After several weeks, Brock had the strength to wake out of bed. As he stood up to look himself in the mirror his body was still full of bruises and his face had scars and also more bruises, his eyes were still swollen. Brock went downstairs to the kitchen opened the fridge and took out the milk and the cereal, he ate the cereal and took his mother's car to school as his car was taken by the pack.

He parked in the parking lot and saw his friends outside, As one of Brock's friends saw Brock's face full of bruises he ran towards him. "What happened to you Brock," Tyler said and Brock didn't say a word he just kept walking and entered school. Brock wasn't in the mood for classes today he went to the canteen and sat on a table alone going through his phone. His phone buzzed and a message was received, it was from Duke. The message said, "Meet me at my place now". Brock said to himself I have to go.

Brock drove to Duke's place and saw him waiting outside. As brock went out of the car and approached Duke, Duke told him "Let's go inside " and Brock didn't say a word he went in. As they both sat around the table, Duke spoke first and said "I and the pack decided that you should not be a part of our pack anymore you disobeyed my orders and put the pack in danger, She may bring other vampires Brock, no one is safe now". Brock looked at Duke straight in the eyes and replied " I was going to leave the pack anyway, you can't just kill someone because he or she is different than you".

Brock walked out went in his car and drove home, all he did was take of his clothes and lay in bed, turned on the TV, and smoked a cigarette.

Meanwhile someone rang the Brock's doorbell. Hodded Anca quickly slipped the letter into apartment and immediately began to withdraw. Yes, she wanted to meet with werewolf, but not here. That wouldn't be safe for her. Meeting at a certain market at the afternoon hour where there would be some other people around seemed to her better. She also made sure to write in the message that if he would try to come with someone or if one of the pack would be nearby, she won't show up.

Andrei walked down the street. Getting to know the city after sitting in a stupid closet for weeks was reassuring for her. She has always liked exploring the unknown, no matter if it was a total wilderness or an ordinary human habitat. In general, she has always been drawn to learning about new things on her own.

Vampire wandered around the city for a moment, then turned into a shadow and came back to her hideout. She still had to refine her little project in order to be able to go to the chosen place during the day.

Brock went downstairs to make some coffee, as he was going down the stairs, he noticed that a letter had just been dropped behind the door. He picked it up from the floor and opened the envelope. He read what it had to say and decided to accept the invitation. There was no name but he suspected who wrote it. Brock put on some clothes and walked to the market, he still didn't have the time to go and pick up his car, he knew that if he went for it a fight was going to go down, and at the moment he was alone, so it was not going to be a fair fight.

As soon as he arrived at the market, he started looking around, trying to see if she was there, but he wasn't making it obvious, he was trying to make it look like he was interested in what the market people were selling. After some time he spotted an empty table which was owned by a coffee shop nearby. He decided to grab a coffee and went to sit at the table. As he sat down he took a sip from his coffer and lighted up a cigarette, still waiting for the vampire to arrive.

He wasn't sure what she was about to say, and he wasn't sure how he was going to respond either. Brock decided to go with the flow and see how she responds and how will her attitude be with him.

Few minutes had passed before Anca decided to show herself. She saw how werewolf sat in the cafe, and was waiting for her. Vampire had mixed feelings about him. She still remembered their first and not the best meeting, and how he slapped her into the wall. Of course, it was kind of her fault...

But what if she would suffer again because of that risky move? After all she didn't know for sure what to expect from him. Maybe sending him message wasn't the right choice?
But Andrei also remembered his strange change of attitude during the ride on her home. Who knows if by any chance her enemy wasn't her friend? She decided to came out and try her luck.

Anca walked across market towards the cafe. She was completely covered with clothesso as not to burn in the sun. A large hat and dark glasses were conspicuous.
"Can I join you?" she asked politely and without waiting for response sat at the Brock's table. Girl ordered coffee for herself then tugged the shawl she was wearing. On the white face she revealed there was a slightly forced smile. The smile with fangs

Brock looked at the female vampire as he heard her saying if she can sit next to him. She didn't give him a chance to open his mouth as she just sat down next to him. Brock was not going to be shy around her he wanted to show his dominance, "Listen I know I helped you, but just to let you know it won't happen again." He took a sip from his coffee and looked at her again.

" After what happened I'm not planning on staying I have been kicked out from the pack, so my job in this town is finished I can't be an omega I need a pack, Just to give you a piece of advice If I were you I don't stay either, the pack will come after you with everything they got, they will torture. I saw how they handled vampires before and it's not pretty."

Brock stood up wore his ray ban sunglasses and turned to look one last time at her " I'm heading to LA, I leave tomorrow night" as he started walking the other way. He wanted her to go with him, he wanted to know her better, The way she dressed today she was beautiful Brock said to himself

Anca's gray eyes followed as he started to walk away. It looked like he wasn't really in mood to cooperate. Also seemed to be stressed out.

"So you're going to Angeles, huh?" she thought to herself loudly. Was he trying to completely move out from the city? That would be understandable in this kind of situation. She would probably have considered separating herself from the conflict if only there weren't some important circumstances.
Whatever the situation looked for him, she had to talk with him. She decided to try on werewolf the same tactic that was working on her.
"Oh, I thought that you would have time to drink coffee with me" redhair looked at her cup which a waiter brought "You know; like relax a little, talk about something... maybe even stop thinking about your problems for a few seconds" she continued her encouragement "but if you are in such a rush, I'm not going to bother you" then Anca gladly unbended, waiting for his response.
Vampire had learned about his expulsion from the pack and the long absence. She still wasn't entirely sure what exactly happened to him during last weeks and it was one of the things she wanted to find out from Brock. Andrei was feeling guilty about it all.

Brock turned around "I'm going for a drive if you want to come" as he gave her a wink. He wanted her to go with him. " I can tell what happened that day when we came for you and how I lost my Camaro because of you " and he smiled as he continued walking to his car. He opened the driver's door and waited for her to get in the car.

Anca looked very indecisive and confused at first. However, after a moment of reflection, she quickly drank her coffee and paid for it. Then she approached Brock uncertainly.

She didn't trust him. It was mainly for this reason that Andrei was initially unsure of the idea. But car ride seemed more interesting to her then sitting and trying to get as much out of him as possible.

"Do you have other car" she noticed " or did I forget how it looks like?"

(Never mind this reply, I will write a new one soon sorry :( )

(I don't know if it was intentional, but it's a little confusing to me when Brock is talking.
