This is actually the first book I've decided to publish. I do want opinions please. I know I have some grammer corrections that need to be made, I will get to them.

When i woke, i became aware i was in a hospital bed. As i started to sit up my door opened and a nurse walked in. She looked at me and saw i was awake. Without a word she walked across the room, changed the liquid going into my IV, and left. I lay my head down and was out as if a wall of exhaustion slammed into me.

When I regained consciousness again, it was not a nurse who walked through my door. However, it was a creature of the feminine species. I wouldn't say she was short, but she was a little bit shorter than i was. She has the prettiest blonde hair. And, that's a great compliment coming from a girl, which i am. She looked...i guess you could say a soft sort of angry. Apperently there's such thing as that, cause she had an angry look, though there lie softness behind that. "Hello, my name is Cathy Silva. You are Holly Vega. I am here to take you "home"." The way she said home was like saying i was going to boarding school or something. "Stop lying there all silent and get up, get dressed, "She tossed a bag on the floor, "and let's get a move on." Before I could take another breath, she comes to the side of the bed, yanks my covers off, and says, "Move it." I jump, startled by this and squirm out of the bed, grab the bag after nearly falling, and sprint (kinda) towards the bathroom. When i get done I close the bag, throw the hospital gown on the bed and follow Cathy out of the place. I was about to ask how I'd gotten there and how long I'd been there when Cathy got to a corner. She turned, waiting for me. I didn't want her mad again, so i ran to her. As soon as i got to her, she grabbed my shirt. The next few seconds were a blur. And no joke, when i say it was a blur, i mean it. The second my dizziness went away, i looked aroud. I nearly freaked out. Well, actually, I kinda did. "Wha....how...where.....what in Sam Hell. Where the heck are we?" She ignored the question, rolled her eyes, and started walking, not looking back to see wether or not i was following. Soon she stopped and i stopped beside her when i caught up. She turned around. I followed where she was looking and my eyes landed on the blackest panther i have ever seen with the brightest blue eyes with silver specks. It was a lot bigger than any panther I'd ever seen and it was only two and a half yards behind us. As it walked closer, its body started to tremble and I got really nervous. It turned into a man about 5'9" who had long, dark black hair that was as straight as fur. His eyes, though blue with silver when he was a panther, were as white as a midnight star with gold flecks. His muscles showed through the tight black shirt he was wearing, his jeans equally black. He and Cathy shared a few whispered words. I didn't catch any of it. He turned back to a panther and looked at her. She walked over to me. "Holly, imagine yourself as a black leopard." I did what she said and in the next few seconds i felt my body shape itself into the leopard she spoke of. I looked at her as if to say what the hell? She ignored the look and shifted into a black panther. Are they related? I wondered to myself and followed them as they started walking towards a white and blue building. As i followed, the name Jacob rang through my mind.
