-Chapter One-

I stand there staring at him. His dark red eyes are boring into my soul. There is something about him that makes me want to stay put and not run away. Although, he could kill me in the next two seconds. Should I try to run? Or should I say something. Neither of us do either of those options. We just stand there staring at each other not able to move.

He slowly lets go of my upper arms, which I am kind of glad because it was starting to hurt a little. Now I could run with a slight chance of him not catching me. I want to, but I can't. Something is keeping me from running.

"Um......" His voice whips me back to reality. He has a soft, mature voice. It is deep, but still very soft. I think I should say something back, but I can't find the words to do so. Quickly I gain my composure and confidence back.

"Who are you?" I snap back at him. He is surprised by my tone of voice. He quickly regains his posture and facial expression.

"Um... My name is Emit. Nice to meet you!" he says while extending a hand out for me to shake. I just look at him like he is stupid. I didn't really want to give him the cold shoulder, but I didn't know who he was, much less what he is here for. To be real honest I didn't even care who he was, as long as he wasn't going to be an obstacle in my path to freedom.

"That is great to hear...Now if you don't mind, get out of my way!" I said rudely with a smirk on my face and my right eyebrow rose. Emit looked dumbfounded at my response to his nice gesture. I pivoted on my heels and headed around him and his outstretched arm to the stream. Before I could get three steps around him, he speedily grabbed my wrist to try and stop me from leaving.

At that moment in time, I yanked a grooved blade from the back of my jeans and swiftly had Emit against a tree with the knife to his throat. He looked astonished by my movements and tilted his head up so the blade wouldn't cut his throat. He was having trouble breathing so I loosened my grip on the knife ever so slightly. "Don't you ever touch me again. If you do I won't hesitate to kill you. Now do you understand?" I looked at Emit through beady, piercing eyes.

"Y-Y-Yes...I-I understand!" Emit choked out a reply. I let him loose as he brushed himself off. I slid the grooved blade back into its holder attached to by belt. I pulled my shirt over the knife and turned away from Emit to head back to the stream once again. Hopefully this time there will be no interruptions. I spoke too soon, though.

"Wait! Don't go!" Emit yells as I am still walking while trying to ignore him. "Please...can I come with you?" I stop in my tracks. Not daring to turn around. I'm the boss around here and I am not going to let him think I went soft because he asked if he could come with me. No. That will not happen. Instead I laugh and keep walking with my hands down to the side of me.

"Now tell me something Emit. Why would you want to come with me when I just held a knife to your throat?" I exclaimed sarcastically. He tried to catch up with me but I picked up my pace.

"Well, I like a challenge every once and a while. Plus I am running away, too." I turn around and face him. How does he know? Memories come rushing back of the hours I spent before I ran and landed here with this goody-two-shoes.

"Please Sam, don't run! No good will come out of this," Lily, my sister, exclaims while following me into my bedroom. I change into something I can run fast in and, at the same time, is comfortable. How could she not see that this is not a way to live? War and death everywhere we go. Our, once upon a time, country is at war and the other side is winning. They have destroyed every single piece of land that is part of our country. That is why I want to leave to get a fresh new start in another country that had no war going on.

"Don't you see? If we don't leave then we will die along with the rest of our clan." I said while opening the secret compartment in my room that contained the finest weapons our clan has ever owned. I am the daughter of King Alistair and Queen Isabella. My family rules over all the clans in our country. There are nine total clans. Within the clans are six groups of Shalas. Shalas are what we are all called. There is the Healing group, Flirex group, Icile group, Weathras group, Rockade group, and Shapeshifter group. I am a Shala and also in the Shapeshifter group.

We are all different in our own ways, but still remain in groups. Shapeshifters have dark red eyes, Flirex have yellow eyes, Icile have white eyes, Weathras have grey eyes, Rockade have hazel eyes, and Healing have green eyes. When we are born they put us in groups according to our eye color.

"The war will pass you will see!" Lily says to me. She tries to convince me to stay and take the throne after the war ends, but she can see the unwillingness in my desire to take the throne and live under rules and regulations. I pack a grooved blade, two daggers, and some matches. I put on my gear to carry all the weapons with and pack up some food.

"No. I will not stay and rule over a dying country." With that said I head out the door and begin my task of escaping.

"Please?" Emit says while pulling me away from a memory. I think about how hard it was on me when I had to sacrifice everything to escape from that place.

"Ugh...Fine but take this as a favor. Just remember I am only doing this because you are one of my kind." I say, already regretting what I have just done.

Why does he have to be so darn persistent and cute at the same time?
