This chapter will contain some violence even though I suck at writing it. A new character will be entering the story later in the chapter. I hope you like him. :)

     Enjoy!

Anger flared up inside me as I heard his smug, cocky voice ring through my ears. I felt Rose's figure tense in my grip, and I gave her a tight squeeze. My arms released themselves from her waist, pushing myself onto my feet. I turned to face him, seeing a putrid smirk across his lips, his dark, grey eyes holding anger and fury.

     "What do you want, Tyler?" I lowly spat, giving him a menacing glare to try to break his façade. It didn't work; it just make him smirk.

     "I want my baby sister back." His eyes sharply snapped toward Rose, who shrunk back behind me, burying her face between my shoulder blades. I could feel her shaking in fear. Tyler smirked, looking back up at me.

     "There is no way in hell that you're gonna to take her away from me," I told him, feeling Rose interlocking our fingers together. I gave it a comforting squeeze, making her relax slightly.

     Tyler shrugged. "If you aren't going to give her to me by choice, fine. I'll just take her by force then."

     I felt Rose's hand being yanked away from mine. I spun around, seeing Nick with pity in his eyes as he held her in his arms. One of them was wrapped around her waist, and the hand connected to the other was over her mouth. Fear was showing in her eyes, and it made my heart ache for her.

     "So which one is it gonna be, Hemmings?" he asked, crossing his arms over his chest. "Me or Rose?"

     I turned back to him, giving him a deadly glare as I did so. That putrid smirk on his face grew as the seconds ticked by. I could hear the pumping blood in my veins going faster and faster as they did. I finally told him my answer.

     "You're not taking her," I told him, keeping eye contact with him, "and I'm not going to fight you. If I do, I'll just make things worse between us."

     He raised an eyebrow. "So you don't mind if I take her?"

     I gave him a fake smile. "I do mind very much, thank you." Then the forced smile was gone. "Now, hand Rose back over to me and continue on with our days, okay?"

     A sly smirk crossed his lips as he chuckled darkly, shaking his head. He then looked back up into my eyes, and simply said, "No."

     "Luke!" Rose screamed as Nick turned and ran into the forest that was south of the cliff. My head turned at the sound, my eyes widening as his figure was getting smaller by the second.

     "Rose!" I shouted back to her, feeling my feet move underneath me.

     As I continued to run after the love of my life and her captor, I could see Tyler's built figure out of the corner of my eye. He then came out of his hiding spot and pushed me hard to the sight. My body slammed up against the trunk of a tree, then fell onto my knees. I looked to my right, my vision a little dizzy, seeing Rose in Nick's arms again. Except this time, his other arm was wrapped around her neck.

     Anger and fury rose inside of me, wanting to tear Nick apart limb from limb. But the only thought in my head made me worried and scared. I did not want to see her lifeless form on the ground.

     I growled a little at Nick, giving him a coldhearted glare. I turned my head in the other direction, seeing Tyler in his wolf form, ready to pounce. I felt myself morph into wolf form as well. I growled at him, telling him that I was ready. He then pounced at me, trying to bite me on the neck.
