-Tyler-

"Good practice guys, tomorrow is the big game, lets take Chandler High down!" I shouted once we entered the locker room and I soon got a chorus of hoops and hollers in agreement. I have this feeling in the pit of my gut telling me that the game isn't the only thing that is happening tomorrow. To me life is the game and when there is no game there is no life. I have always thought like this since I was old enough to throw a football, basically since I was about 3 or 4.

I showered and got dressed. I am always the last one out of the locker room and school. I locked the door and turned to head toward the parking lot when I saw a flash of color from the corner of my eye. I looked around not seeing anything and so without a care I crossed the parking lot, got in my car, and left school with only one thing on my mind, the game. When I got home I was exhausted and headed straight for bed after saying goodnight to my parents.

I fell asleep knowing what would happen when I submitted to the darkness of the night. The darkness was welcoming and it drowned me, but when I had closed my eyes instead of being greeted by nothing, I was greeted by a tan, dark brown hair, gray eyed, beauty. She was the true meaning of beauty but not one word left her luscious, full, red, lips, she just stood there smiling at me before walking away and everything fading into the darkness I was greeted by every night.

I couldn't help myself I had to follow his scent. Call me a blood hound but I am the best tracker anyone could have. His scent is as sweet as candy and I was addicted to it. I was at the edge of the forest of the school I will start at tomorrow when I saw him coming out of the boys locker room. He slightly turned to head towards the parking lot when I saw is face.

I gasped "Tyler" his name was the first word I have said since I was 7. I had known him since we were babies, we were best friends up until my parents died in a hunter attack. I have never talked since then, but this was painful to see. He would never recognize me, but by the looks of things he is still the little boy who loves to play football that I knew all of those years ago. I had to move quickly so he doesn't spot me, but I can't leave for home just yet I have to see how he is doing. It may sound and look crazy to people other than me and my kind but I had to.

I followed him to his house, the same one he had lived in since I have ever known him and the same place where we spent most of our time together. I felt a tinge of pain as I saw him walk into the house, the house in which held the horrible memory of that day. I watched secretly through the window as he had gone upstairs and to bed, before falling asleep with a stupid grin on his face. On my way home I couldn't help but wonder, what would have happened if I had stayed. After the death of my parents and my silence becoming more and more of an everyday thing I had gotten a phone call from my grandparents, who lived in Britain, saying that they wanted me to live with them after hearing about my parents death.

I never did say I wanted to go because I had Tyler here, but on the other hand I couldn't stay because of the memories. I ended up going but often thought back to when I was ready to say I wanted to stay. I grimly walked into the large house of the pack. The Alpha had heard I was the best tracker and was a very well known warrior. My parents and brothers used to live in the pack house until they were killed.

I slowly opened my bedroom door, thankful that no one bothered me, stripped down, grabbed my pajamas, and slipped into the shower. I sighed and remembered that day in which caused me to silence myself.

~Flashback~
"Jimmy give me back Lily" I whined and jumped for my doll once again. He only smiled and laughed evilly at me as he held it high above my head. I could feel the tears welding up in my eyes and soon I couldn't stop them. I cried and cried not knowing what else to do I looked up at him through my tears and saw his face soften. He leaned down, scooped my light form in his arms, and carried me to mom.

She scolded him and told him never to do that again for if he did he was going to get a punishment and no dessert after dinner. Then mom took me up to my room, set me on my bed, and dressed me up in my favorite princess outfit. "Honey i'm going to go see Tyler's parents do you want to come and play with Tyler?" I excitedly said yes and my mom scoop me up in her arms and carried me downstairs. We loaded up in the car and headed towards his house I couldn't help but bounce my car seat. "Tyler, Tyler" I shouted once I got out of the car.

I opened my arms wide as we ran towards each other, we giggled at each other once we were hugging and could heard our parents laughter behind us. "Okay kids go play" Tyler's mom said "oh and Veronica don't get your dress muddy" my mom shouted after me "okay mommy" I shouted back. I was always told by mommy and daddy to never tell Tyler or anyone else besides Tyler's parents and the pack what we are and I always kept my word to it. Tyler and I were in the middle of playing when we heard a scream and multiple gun shots. I told Tyler to hide and to stay where he was surprisingly he did as I told him to.

I crept around to the front of the house where I saw it. Mom, Dad, Jimmy, Chase, Isaac, laying on the ground, blood, pooling around their lifeless bodies. I screamed once I saw the scene in front of me, Mr. and Mrs. Morris, still crying, rushed over to me to help comfort my small, trembling, figure. The last thing I saw was the lifeless bodies of my family, Mr. and Mrs. Morris, and my best friend's crying eyes.

~End of flashback~

I know what I must do. I looked at my clock and it read 10:30 so I hopped out of bed, put some proper clothes on, my boots, braided my hair to the side, and headed for one place, the Morris residence.
