Jason's mind began to drift into his memories, some sweet, some bitter, but for some reason, his mind drifted to one of his worst memories. Jason kept his composure as fear blanketed him. The memory was of the day he was branded The Beast. He and Savvy were walking along to their elementary school as young children, it was a bit of a cloudy day, Jason's favorite, so long as it didn't rain on Savvy. As they walked to school, a group of older kids walked past them and then began to make fun of the two, singing songs and making faces like Jason and Sovereign were in love. Trying to keep him composure, he grabbed Savvy's hand and kept walking along, though a little faster, his eyes becoming bloodshot against his will. He desperately wanted to be away from the bullies. One of the bullies, clearly the leader, picked Jason up by the back of his jacket. He was acting like Jason was a bad dog for walking away, and he pulled Savvy away from Jason. Savvy caught a glimpse of Jason's eyes and pleaded with the bullies to stop, not knowing what might happen if this continued. Another one of the bullies told Savvy to shut up, to which she responded by kicking him in the back of the leg. The bully hit Jason on the head as the other smacked Savvy. After this point in the memory, Jason has lied to everyone but Savvy about remembering what happened. Jason snapped, something inside him was released. He wrestled himself free from the bully and turned on him to attack, claws tipping his fingers and fangs in his mouth. He went berserk and mauled the three bullies, all of whom were bigger than he. Savvy watched, very much afraid of what Jason did, but she was able to calm him down. Once he was no longer partially changed, he ran home, holding back tears of pain. Savvy couldn't catch him. That day marked the start of his Olympian level growth rate. All three of the bullies survived, and they started calling him The Beast to taunt him, occasionally drawing him into rages, and so the name stuck, but Savvy took the name from them, calling him The Beast, as in the character from the old story, who may have been monstrous, but true and gentle at heart. Jason was even cast as The Beast in a school play, but he was made fun of for it because he didn't fit in the costume. It was his name all throughout school, it was even on his jersey for football, and his wrestling singlet, but only Savvy meant it kindly. Tales of his rages made others laugh, they thought it was all a big joke until they were shown otherwise.<br/><br/>Jason was still in a trance like state, not really in the kitchen, though he was standing there cooking the two steaks for Savvy and Aatu, humming "I'm Alive" from Disturbed. Other members of the Sonne pack knew when Jason was in this trance by his humming, and although he would do tasks that most would think require concentration and attention, he would be doing them with only a hazzy memory of his actions after he came out of his trance.<br/><br/>His mind wandered now to other, kinder memories. Memories of his mother and father. His aunt and Uncle, his two cousins, and his grandparents. And then to all their dogs. A soft smile touched his face as he relived Christmas celebrations, birthdays, camping trips, and their words of wisdom
