He clenched his fist till it made cackling sounds and said, "When I was a kid around 5 years old, I had a friend called Selena. I was very close to her, closer than with Allison. We used to play around everyday. Kate, Allison and her friends would tease me about her very often. One day Selena told me a secret, that she was a Werewolf. I started laughing at that. So she showed me her bright yellow eyes. When I saw that I wasn"t scared, I was happy that I found a special friend. But she told me not to tell anyone. I was very happy that day and didn"t take her warning and went home with a very happy face.When I reached home Kate seeing me happy walked up to me and asked if got kissed from my little girlfriend. I instantly denied it and spilled the beans about her glowing yellow eyes. Kate just smiled at me and rubbed my hair an went inside. Even I didn"t think much about that."
Max paused here and watched the other three. Scott and Stiles had a pretty good idea what might have happened after that. Allison was still thinking but soon Max continued.
He said, "That night Kate came an woke me up, saying that she had a surprise for me. I thought it was gonna be a party or something, but she took me to Selena"s home when I went there, there were seven people holding down Selena and her parents. Gerard called me and told me to take a good look at them and said that they"re monsters. He threw mountain ash at them, Selena"s eyes turned yellow while her parents turned into half-wolf form with blue eyes. I got scared as soon as I saw her parents. Gerard told me to look at the true face of the monsters. Then he pulled out a gun and shoot Selena"s father. Selena and her mother was crying."
Max eyes were bloodshot while saying this. Allison was on the verge of crying hearing this. Scott and Stiles had a sad face.
Max continued, "I shouted them to stop it. But they didn"t even listen. Kate told me that"s if given these monsters a chance they"d kill me without even flinching an eye. She then took a knife and slit her mother"s throat. Then Gerard threw a knife to me and told me to kill Selena. I was crying saying no no no, Gerard made me hold the knife and clenched his fist over mine. I was a kid of five and a half years I couldn"t even resist him. He made me stab at her heart. I was crying and shouting for him to stop as I was watching her as slowly closed her eyes. After she died, they looked at their bodies with disgust."
While say this Max clenched his fists so hard that his nails pierced his skin, you could see light bleeding. Allison was already tearful. Scott and Stiles didn"t say anything but in their hearts they marked the names of Gerard and Kate.
After a few minutes Max calmed down and said, "That day I decided to be strong. If I head been strong that day, Selena would be alive right now. You tell me, McCall. Was this price worth it for me to get stronger?"
Scott just stared at Max and didn"t know what to say. So he slowly said, "Now you"re so strong, right? Why don"t you kill them yourself?"
Max shouted at him, "You think I didn"t try? I killed six of them two years ago, one by oneI hunted them down. But I couldn"t touch Gerard or Kate. If they die by my hand the Hunter Council will disband my entire family and put a price on each and everyone"s head."
All three of them looked at Max with a look of pity. Max just ignored their looks and turned to Allison and continued, "Now Ally, if Kate got to know about McCall and you, what do you think she"ll do? If a similar thing happens to you, you"ll be mentally broken and that"s what Gerard needs. He manipulates everyone when they"re at their weakest. He"ll turn you into another b.l.o.o.d.y butcher. And I don"t want to see that happen."
Scott was looking at Max with a grateful look. Allison knew that Max wouldn"t have said anything if Kate wasn"t coming to town. She wanted to say something, but Stiles who was quiet all this time shouted at Max, "So you just left them? What"s the point of having so much strength if you can"t even avenge them?"
Scott yelled at him, "Stiles!"
But Max just, "You think I"d let them go that easily? The day I watched Selena die in my arms I decided to make then pay, I"ll kill them slowly, I"ll let then know what is pain before they die. If they step into Beacon Hills, they"ll never leave alive. They"re only safe with their crew outside this town, but not here."
Max turned to Allison and said, "I know you like our Aunt. But know one thing, if you ever let your guard down, she"ll turn you against Scott. Our family has a code "We hunt those who hunt us" but I don"t think this will be enough to protect Scott from Gerard and Kate. When I watched her die, I decided to change the code to "Kill your foes to protect your friends". I didn"t want to lose anyone anymore. And I didn"t want anyone else to go through what I had to go through. After that day I trained and trained with Dad. And killed hunted down all the supernatural creatures that Dad missed in his days, just to make sure they don"t come for revenge."
Allison made a firm decision as not to interfere between Max and Kate. And also made sure to keep a distance from Kate. Scott and Stiles decided to stay away from Kate and Gerard after hearing this.
Max knew that they were all tense at this moment. So he decided to ease the mood and turned to Stiles and asked, "What are you thinking, Stiles?"
Stiles said, "I"m thinking about the way you talked with Scott at school today."
Max asked with a curious look, "Talked what?"
Stiles continued, "You know the way you told him to show her his werewolf side. I mean, did you know that Scott was a werewolf before or only figured it out today?"

Max smiled and said, "Oh I knew from the start of this year."
Stiles was about to ask him last night"s attack on both Scott and Derek, but Scott was quicker, "Then why did you attack me and Derek with so many nails? You know, I could barely move my hands around this morning."
Allison suddenly glared at Max after hearing this and asked, "What nails? And what attack? Max you better spit it out."
Max laughed at this and said to Scott, "You think I"d let you off for dating my sister behind my back. That was a lesson for you. And also my chance to bully the guy who"s dating my sister. You know, you should"ve told me about it in the beginning itself."
Allison and Scott instant shut up. But Stiles asked with a curious expression, "What if they had told you earlier?"
Max smiled and said, "I would"ve punched his face."
After hearing this Scott"s face was twitching. Allison was giggling watching this. Stiles then said, "Man, there was no way out of this, is there?"
Max winked and said, "Nope. But just so you know, I got to know about both of you long ago."
Allison asked, "Then why did you feign ignored like a idiot?"
"Why else do you think, Just to have fun while I can."Max said with a smile. And again turned serious and said to everyone, "Now you could be considered as a bit knowledgeable, so I"m telling this to all three of you, you"re all weak right now, especially you Stiles, In the future there"ll be more dangers, and all you"ll be able to do is run with you little bit of luck. Sooner or later you"ll be caught, so I suggest you better get stronger."
He turned to Allison and Scott and said, "Allison, from tomorrow you"ll join me in the run, don"t be late. I"ll talk to Dad about this. And you McCall, you train with Derek, I know he"s been teaching you some little things, but that won"t be enough. First tell him to teach you how to hide your Werewolf aura. How do you think I got to know about you being a werewolf, When we were playing lacrosse I felt it as soon as I was near you. If I can know it, by my guess Gerard will be able to know it as soon as he"s near you."
Scott shivered thinking about Gerard and his means. He decided to learn to hide first. Max removed his ankle weights and wrist weights and threw it to Stiles and said, "Put this on, I"ll give you a month"s time to get adjusted to it"s weight. Keep it on you 24x7. But if you want to stay home and be a normal teenager forget about everything happened here and stay away from all three of us. A skinny kid like you with a baseball bat isn"t going to change anything. If you managed to get yourself adjust to that weight, I might consider training you."
He watched all three of them taking in the message and said after a minute, "So I think that"s about it for today. Allison time to go." He said this and started walking towards the door.
Allison watched him leave and kissed Scott and was about to say goodbye when they head Max say from distance, "Just because I know that you"re dating, don"t you guys get too comfy around me. And Scott if dare hurt my sister, Nails will the least of your worries."
Scott shuddered remembering the painful night. Allison just laughed at this. And walked out.
