I was in this dark place.

The woods?

Yes. Seems like it. There were so many silhouettes of tree trunks. If only they were actually trees.

Darkness and a defeaning silence enveloped me. The silence seemed to be so loud that it muffled the sounds of my beating heart. Owls whooed and bats swooped the air. I couldn't make out much. I don't know why but I wasn't at all sacred.

I was alone. At least that's what I thought until the sound of a breaking twig sent all that out in the trash.

I became scared suddenly. My short and raspy breaths made me feel more and more dizzy. Then there came a growl right behind me. It was low, menacing. Nothing I've ever heard before. I shuddered, slowly turning to face my predator. I made out a darker silhouette in a shape of a wolf.

A wolf?

No. It was huge, 10 times larger than a normal wolf. My heart seemed to drop straight into my stomach. I froze, stuck between the present and my past, no idea if I even had a future.

The silhouette moved, its mighty paws taking a step closer into the dim moonlight.

I gasped. My eyes gazed upon the darkest fur I had ever seen.

It was darker than black.

Its golden eyes pierced through my very soul. Thunder rumbled through him.

Him?

I didn't know how I knew this but I just did. Suddenly, he roared attempting to pounce.

I jolted out of sleep, chest heaving frantically as I managed to catch my breaths.

    Tylor and I lay on my bed side by side. We had to prepare for a quiz the next day.''What's the twentieth element on the periodic table?'' I heard Tylor ask.'' Calcium'' I answered.There was a brief silence before he spoke again.''You know, your butt really looks good in those bicker shorts.....'' He snickered.''Pervert. Those are not yours so get your hungry eyes off....'' I hissed.''Come over here...'' He suddenly pulled me on top of him and pinched my cheeks.He then rolled over so that I was caged underneath him.''Tell me ‘I'm the hottest guy you've ever seen and that you love me’.'' He demanded with some kind of playful seriousness to it.''I don't want to lie to you, Sweet'' I teased.He looked a bit hurt but quickly covered it up with a chuckle. His hands went up to my sides.'' Then I would have to tickle you till I hear it from your lips.''''Tyyylooor!!....Plea....pleeeaaseee. Stop it. I'm gonna peeeee.'' I giggled.''Just say it!'' He demanded again.''Noooooooo'' I c

    In the bathroom I let the warm water pour down on my skin releasing my ever so knotted muscles. Ruckus out the door caught my attention. I quickly turned off the shower so I could listen better. The house went quiet.I shrugged it off. The moment I decided to turn the shower back on the noise came again, louder this time. It seemed it was coming from the kitchen like someone was ransacking the place.Scared, I slowly got out the bath and wrapped my Berry-pink towel around my body. I stood in my room taking a glance to make sure my room was indeed empty. I reached under my bed for the baseball bat I always kept there.I inhaled sharply as I felt its cold metallic touch against my fingers. I gripped on it hard, like my life depended on it. With each step, the wooden stairs creeked under my feet. I immediately regretted not getting clothed first before trying to act all brave. I gasped as soon as I got to the kitchen, my palm shot up to cover my mouth. Blood drained from my face

    ''Happy Birthday, Sweetheart'' Tylor chimed as soon as I entered his convertible. ''Aww, thanks''''So how does it feel to finally be legal?'' He chirped his eyes on the road.''Meh?...Just the same....''''Oh I see. Being modest, huh?''I smiled.The noisy chaos of school filled my ears. Here once again. Sigh, this scholarly routine exhausted me.''Thanks for the ride Tylor....''''Sure. Enjoy your day! '' He leaned on the steering wheel and shouted across the parking lot as I made my way to class.Just as I entered the class Andrew’s warm smile greeted me.''Happy birthday, Andrew'' I graced engulfing him into a hug.''Thought you would forget...''''Why would I forget'' I pouted.Yeah, I forgot to mention but Andrew and I have the same birthdays. Weird right? Well, not in my case because this coincidence makes it so clear that we were meant for each other.''So what's up for today?'' I asked Andrew as I took a seat besides him.''Well, I was planning to spend the day with yo

    ''Your parents must be really proud of you then....'' I chimed.He shifted his gaze to one of his pottery works immediately I made mention of his parents.'' Yeah, I guess...'' He sighed.I must have hit a sour spot in his heart. Probably they are no more? I really wanted to find out the reason but I didn't want to push things so I let it go.''Even if they are not, I'm proud of you....'' I smiledHe returned the gesture with a smile of his own.''Umm....this is actually not what I wanted to show you...'' He lighted the mood.''That's not all?....'' I beamed so excited.He then sailed past me to a canvas that had been hidden behind a sack cloth. Andrew reached for the material and yanked it from the top.I gasped, my eyes shooting wide.It was a painting of me with a smile, so care free. My eyes seemed like they had never seen sorrow nor pain. This was how I'd look if every thing was perfect.My vision begun to blur. I was tearing up.''This is how I picture you everyday. This is w

    I blinked a few times to make sure I was not hallucinating.''Tylor?.... Wait, What?!....This must be a prank, right?....Please tell me this is just one of your sick jokes''I laughed.Tylor just stood, looking at me with a bored expression on his face.'' Oh wow. You got me there. Hahaha. You really went over the top on this one. Urm, you can untie me now since you clearly won this round.''I chuckled motioning for him to come for the chains.''......you really do think this is a game?...'' Tylor voices , sounding a little pissed.His face was stern. What's happening?'' It is, isn't.....'' I asked unsure. Definitely thrown into confusion.''Haha. Everything has been a game to you right?.....'' His eyes became deranged, sinister.He lashed forward and grabbed my neck, his green eyes filled with this deadly kind of hurt.''Tell me Sky, do you think my love is a game?......'' He gritted.This isn't Tylor, this isn't my Tylor!''Let...Let- go of me. I can't breathe..'' I choked.

    The sunlight pierced my vision as I stirred awake. I winced as the sharp pain I felt in my neck flew up my head making me feel a bit dizzy. I realized I was no longer tied up to the chair. I must have slept really deep. I now lay on the bed with my hands tied up over my head. I groaned in frustration. Yesterday was not just a nightmare as I hoped before. My head snapped to left as light raps resonated through the door and in came Tylor holding a tray of food.He had a bright smile on his face. A smile I wish I could reciprocate if the situation was totally different.'' Hello Sunshine. How was your night? '' He chirped happily.No response.'' Well I brought your favourite breakfast, scrambled eggs and beacon.'' Tylor mused.I just looked on unfazed.''Oh Sky c'mon. You've not eaten for a long while now. What's wrong?.....''I scoffed. I can't believe he is actually asking me this?...What's wrong?... Kidnapping me is not an enough reason then what is?''....If you continue li

    '' I've always wondered how you ended up where I first found you'' I asked Tylor as I slipped noodles into my mouth with the chop sticks.I took this opportunity to scan the whole house thoroughly. We were in the kitchen right by the living room. In fact, it was like the kitchen was a portion cut out from the living room. Strangely, the kitchen had no knives, no dishes, literally nothing. All the cabinets were probably empty as well. How this guy gets me food everyday was still a mystery. This retarded my plan of escape. Maybe I should just impale him with my chopsticks and make a run for it.''Hellooo? Sky? Are you even listening to me? '' Tylor waved a hand over my face.''Sorry, sorry. I zoned out a little there. Where were we again?'' I laughed nervously. I crossed my legs over on the chair and motioned him to continue.''Well, its a very long story. Some very bad people where after my Mom and I because they didn't want her to become the Luna.''''......Huh?Luna? '' I asked puzz

    Andrew's P.O.V ''The cops are not doing shit about Sky's disappearance!!'' I almost screamed.''Calm down, Mr. Piers. We are doing all we can but all proof lead to the fact that she took off, run away probably. We found a hand written letter under her pillow where she confesses her plans to run away. '' The chief inspector stated.''This can't be ''''Here it is Mr. Piers. Have a look for yourself. '' He handed over the supposed letter to me. He sounded more impatient than I even was.I read through it carefully.''No, no. This can't be right. She can't just take off like that. There is something gravely wrong. I'm not even a cop but I can fucking sense it!!!!!!..'' I banged my fist against the counter. I had totally lost it now. Everyone's attention was on me right now and I didn't really care.'' You need to calm down Sir or we would just have to reprimand you!!'' The inspector flared. He was at the verge of loosing his patience.'' If you were not so busy gobbling up dounaughts ev

    ''The skies-'' ''They are beautiful......'' ''Not as beautiful as you though....'' I looked at him with a glistening look in my eyes. ''Christian?....Are you hitting on me?…'' I laughed. He shrugged lifting his hands up in surrender. ''Urgh! You sick perverted bastard-'' I playfully beamed bumping my fist against his shoulders. He chuckled. ''Maybe I am Sky, maybe I like you...'' He hushed sternly as he drew a curtain of my hair behind my ear. I bit down my lip so confused. Did he just tell me he liked me? What about Katherine? Sometime had passed. A long, long while had passed. It seemed Damian had faded into my memories. Christian was my only confidant and surprisingly we got along very well. With him, I felt all my worries disappear. It was almost as if I liked him back. No- no- He is just helping me get through things. I can't like him. I love Damian. Oh Damian. My love for you grows weary day by day.

    Damian's P.O.V The day of my departure came so fast. I spent the whole night tossing and turning, forcing myself not to barge into her room and crash my lips on hers as though it would have been our last. We know too well who ‘her’ is. Sky, my addiction, my love, my all. Everyone bid their farewells. None mattered because I was waiting to hear Sky's voice, her words of encouragement, maybe a kiss. ''Take good care of yourself ya? Don't give the big guy down there too much stress. Take it easy on the ladies.'' Christian winked and we both fell in a fit of laughter. Naughty boy he is. I didn't miss the change in Sky's expression. I could feel the jealousy radiating off her. I was looking, searching for her desperately. Her tiny frame hid behind the crowd of family with arms folded across her chest making the swell of her breasts look bigger. She looked as beautiful as ever. Our eyes touched for a brief moment, it seemed everyone around us slowly melted into a sea of blur. S

    ''You're getting really good at this Sky'' Connor admonished. He was introduced to me as the Beta of the Gruffslitter pack. Damian's pack. ''Thanks, Connor'' The training begun a few weeks ago and now I already know everything I need to know thanks to Christian and Connor by the way. Since Connor is full wolf he needed a vampire to help him understand what he would be dealing with in the course of our training. I must say they make a very good team. ''You know what I think? I think you are even stronger that your brother, Andrew'' Christian added. ''I'll kick your sorry ass anytime Andrew.....'' I gave him a wink and he instantly chuckled. My eyes trailed on his smile a little longer. I sensed Damian. Heck, I smelt him everywhere. His scent loomed in the air like a toxic gas. I don't know why he bothered to hide behind trees. I knew so well that he came here because of me, watching my every move like a predator ready to pounce on its prey. If he wants to watch I'll give him

    Sky's P.O.V ''Umm...Katherine, have you seen Damian around anywhere? '' I asked a little out of breath after the long walk from the garden to the house. ''He might probably be in his study. I can inform him about your search though? Is something wrong?....'' Katherine answered with mischief gleaming in her eyes whilst rubbing a few non-existent dust specks off the already polished ceramic vase with some Chinese scribblings I didn't know were there before. ''Oh, nothing really. I just wanted to clarify something that's all.'' ''Uh-huh, that was almost believable. Anyways, his study is on the 2nd floor, the last door to your right...'' ''I owe you one, Kat....'' I mused placing a kiss on her cheeks and squeezing her tight. I heard her mumble something about me owing her more than a thousand as I trudged past her hurriedly racing up the flight of stairs taking it two by two. I almost tripped on the last pair but thankfully no one was there to witness it. That would have been quite

    The day went slow, not as how I expected at all. Weirdly, the thought of Andrew kept clicking in my head. I missed him. That was true, I really did. Although we lived together under the same roof, I saw little and little of him every passing day. I searched for him everywhere in this huge mansion. The idea of him being swallowed whole by the house flashed in my mind. I had to rely on my 'senses' to find him. I caught his scent, strong and intoxicating as ever. The greens of the grasses and the purples of the wild flowers blended so well outdoors that it mesmerized me. The water fountain at the heart of the garden was the epitome that stole all the glory from the scenery. The sun eloped through the dense shades of branches in narrow scattered rays dancing across the garden floor. My eyes searched desperately for him gazing swiftly here and there. Finally there he was, back turned towards me frantically sketching something down in his fairly huge notepad. His eyebrows knitted together

    The next day was like hell. Damian's shadow followed me wherever I went. His whole day was spent with Natasha, on the couch, on the kitchen island, in the garden, on the pouch and even in his bathroom. Damian's words yesterday kept pondering in my heart. Her death? Whose death? What was he talking about? Who was he referring to?Knock! Knock! Knock! echoed through the candle lit hallway as my knuckles painfully hit Christian's door. There was quite a ruckus behind the door then silence. Swinging on my heels, I waited for the door to swing open. The silence was deafening. Puzzled I knocked again. There was a click revealing a very shirtless, sweaty Christian. ''Oh-Urr- Hello there.....'' He huffed eyes wide. ''........Urmm Hi?.....'' I quirked.''Why are you here so early in the morning?'' He checked his wrist for the time only to realize he had no watch on. My eyes furrowed in confusion. ''Its not early. Its half past 1 o'clock and why are you all sweaty and panting? Y

    Ladies and gentlemen, dinner is served'' The head maid spoke and with a click on a glass everyone started to dig into their meals.Okay, so now I had one main problem. Which fucking cutlery am I going to use. As I stared down the table everything seemed blur. There were like a hundred and one different spoons, forks and something that looked like knives? This is more frustrating than Math formulas and calculus. Everyone seemed to ignore each other, even surprisingly Andrew had no problem using his. Well, he had some help from his girlfriend, Rae who sat by him.....Obviously. I was frantically looking around for some kind of help. ''Use the third spoon to your left …” I heard someone say from beside me. Grateful, I turned to thank him only to stare deeply into the green orbs of Damian.''Th- thanks....Why are you helping me in the first place?'' I asked surprised and a little startled by his kind gesture. He rolled his eyes and pouted feigning hurt and sadness. '' Why don

    Bathing and dressing up took me a while, a little longer than I had planned. There were so many shampoos and soaps of different shapes, sizes and colours I failed to recognize. Some smelt like bubble gum, others fruits. It was just nice to blend them all together. I heard short rasps at the door. I opened it hoping it was Kat but that hope fell down the drain immediately I was met face to face with a red haired girl almost the same age as Kat wearing the same old uniform Kat was wearing a day ago. She had outstanding light maroon eyes, so clear and so big. I wouldn't say she was breathtaking but she was pretty enough. She looked like the timid and shy type. ''Your presence is needed in the dining chamber at once by the mistress of the house, Madam Elizabeth.....'' She coughed as if she had memorized every single word before coming here.'' The dining chamber?.... Don't you mean the dining hall instead? And where is that even?....''''I was just sent her to deliver the messag

    ''We are leaving .....''''Leaving?....leaving to where?'' I asked disbelief throbbing my heart. ''We are going to my home, actually my pack house''''And what are we going to do there?''''Well, my dear little Sky.....as it turns out you clearly can't use your supernatural senses to its full yet. You are too powerful and it is feared that you may not be able to control your powers. It might override you. You and your brother are in danger. Those guys we were running away from need you for their psyco plan to supposedly take over the supernatural world.....'' He quirked rolling his eyes. ''Sounds like something out of The Originals.....'' Andrew added. ''So let me get this straight, we are going to the pack house to get trained and super powerful?.....'' ''Yeah''''But don't you think if Andrew and I get super powerful we would be weapons and it would be a free ticket for the bad guys to use us for their devious plans?''Damian sighed.''
