"Dad I don't understand why you have to go. I can't be alone without you." I beg. My dad sighed and he continued to pack his bag. "Sanna the troops need me its only for two weeks. You will be fine, just stay in school, train, and be home everyday before 7. Plus you won't be alone Pacer will be be here with you." I crossed my hands over my chest "Your giving me curfew?" I half yell. He turns to face me "Sanna you don't expect me to let you hang out while I'm not in town do you? Pacer will be here to look after you and that is final." Once again I roll my eyes realizing that Pacer was downstairs, with my dads friends probably talking about sports. "Can't they find someone else to help. Your not the only cop. How well do you know Pacer anyways? How come you didn't mention him before hmm?" I did not need to be around Pacer. "Listen you will obey me and do as I say. I want you to be safe." His voice and eyes shut me right up. Any rebuttal I had for him went right back to my head. He kisses me on my forehead. As his friends walk out the door, he turns to me. "I'm not the only cop I'm just a damn good one." With that they were gone in their cars heading down the road. I was stuck with a very annoying Pacer. "Aww is the baby going to miss her dada?" He tries to imitate a baby voice and I ignore him by pushing him and going to my room. I laid in my bed until I feel sleep overtakes me.

The smell of grass is so over powering. Its dark outside so I can barely see the mushy green leaves. The rain doesn't help either, but I'm still warm. "Sanna, Sanna" I hear a voice singing my name sweetly. The voice was coming from the dark woods. I tried looking at the sky but all I could see was darkness and rain drops. "This way Sanna." I hear the voice loud and clear. I know this voice. It belonged to the woman who birthed me. I race to the sound of her voice. I didn't even know which way I was going. Mom. There she was standing there with her flawless olive skin and dark brown hair. Her big brown eyes stared into mine. I wanted to touch her. I wanted to hug her. All I could do was stare and look at her beauty. She smiled at me and my heart ached. She didn't speak she just held her hand out telling me to come with her. I tried reaching for her but my hands were covered with fur. My fingers were paws. I realized that I was on all fours instead of two legs. "Sanna be careful honey they are coming." I couldn't register what was happening. She began fading away from me. "Mom who's coming?" I cried out. "Them!!" She let out a piercing scream like somebody was hurting her. Then like that she was gone. I began to feel electricity on my skin. Someone was calling my name.

"Sanna wake up!" My eyes shoot open to see a very worried Pacer and he's holding on to me. I feel my skin and its normal I look down and see my two legs regular as always. I can still feel his intense stare. I refused to look up because he knew I was crying. I just met him I can't have him thinking I'm so over dramatic girl. I'm stronger than that, just the seeing my mother made me emotional. "Hey whats wrong?, I know my cooking isn't that bad." He cooed and then the smell of cheesy ground beef filled my nose. I felt the electricity of his touch holding on to me. I felt warm in his arms. "I can smell the burnt cheese from here." I say pinching my nose in the air as if something was really stinky. He moves a little closer to me and looks directly in my eyes. His eyes start to change color a little and then change back while he's staring into mines. The intensity is killing me, being this close to him scared me."Now I know your lying" he finally says rising up from my bed. "You might want to clean up and come down for dinner. Plus your breath stinks!" He yells the last part and runs out before I can hit him. I find myself smiling after him. Snap out of it. I washed my face and changed into my black Victoria Secrets sweats and pink spaghetti strap camisole. I pulled my hair up into a loose ponytail. I checked my appearance one last time in my vanity mirror. I was about to criticize my outfit when I realized I'm home and I don't care what he thinks.

Get it together Sanna. I mentally yell at myself before heading downstairs to find Pacer setting up the table. "I hope you like burgers." He says nearly smacking the plate into my hand. "You do know I'm a girl right?" I ask looking down at the large burgers, fries, and onion rings. He looks down at me skimming my body then he smiles. "Nope I damn sure didn't forget." With his free hand he grabs some soda while I lead him towards the couch. "What movie?" I ask while already looking through the horror movie section. I finally put in Insidious 2 and plop on the love seat couch. "Great choice I'll hold you if you get scared." He says a little too close to my ear. "Actually I love scary movies. I'm not like those dumb broads you're probably used too." I say matter of factually. He gave me a pained expression and then it turned into a smirk. As the opening credits rolled down I started to devour the burger. It tasted better than anything my dad had ever made. In the corner of my eyes I see Pacer watching me, so I stopped eating feeling a little self conscious. He smiles at me then he starts to eat his food. I can't believe I caught him looking at me. I bite into the burger slowly as I watched the movie making sure I don't bite my tongue. Once again I feel his eyes on me. "Stop being a creep Pacer." I say focusing my eyes on the screen. I hear him snicker. "I'm not creeping. I just like to see you enjoying my beef." He says making me cough and gulp down my half cup of soda. "You sexist perv!". I jump up to smack him in his face and he moves and catches me. "Your feisty" he breaths into my neck sending chills down my body. My chest is now in his face and I could see his eyes roaming my shirt. My face becomes heated and I put my leg up and knee him right in his crotch. I hear him yell in pain as I got up and ran into my room and close the door. I closed and locked my window too. I didn't trust him he would probably come through my window. I laugh at my mental image of seeing Pacer in pain. I lay on my bed hearing Pacer cursing at my door, making me laugh even louder. Then I realize I left my food in the living room with Pacer still mad. "Yeah I'll starve tonight" I say to my stomach. I put my head phones in my ear and let sleep take me into a peaceful sleep.
