It was midnight. Evan and I were cuddled up on my twin bed, wrapped in the baby blue comforter. His arm was securely around my shoulder. His snores comforted me.

But I couldn't sleep.

Outside, I heard crunching footsteps. Screams. The clan was near. I rolled over and squeezed myself close to Evan. I wouldn't deny it, I was scared. Because I could hear them outside. I wanted to become one with Evan to escape this. I woke him up, a frantic mess of shaking and my heavy breathing.

"What is it, Lumerpa? You look like you've seen a ghost" he says, groggily. 

"I can hear them" I mumble. His eyes get wider. I can tell he is listening. That he can hear them too.

"They're getting close. Tell me the door's locked" he says, his voice shaking. I nod.

"Tell me" he instructs. I nod again.

"The door is locked" I say, and he relaxes a bit. We stay sat up for a few minutes. Evan's back stiffens.

"Evan" I say warily. He nods, and I fall back onto the bed. He shoves me so that I'm against the wall and his body is in front of mine. I'm shaking. The footsteps are getting closer. My under-developed ears can hear them now. Evan's eyes are glazed. He blinks hardly. I place my hand on his underneath the blanket. His finger climb over mine as the footsteps enter the young wolf hallway. They stop at the door next to mine. It opens. 

Pause.

They leave and slam the door. They near my room. Evan's hand squeezes mine.

They twist the handle to my room. Evan's eyes open and he looks at me. The boy who needed me to stay with him.

They pound the door, and Evan closes his eyes. He open them.

Again.

Evan looks at me.

"I love you" he mumbles. 

"Shut up" I say.

"I love you."

"Shut up!" I cry. They pound at the door again. They know someone's in here.

The door splinters open. The unmistakable face of Slater enters the room. Evan takes his hand off of mine.

"What do you want?" he says. The sudden gruffness of his voice scares me.

Slater laughs. "You know what I'm here for."

Evan shakes his head. "I don't."

One man in the back of the group pulls out a dart.

"Evan" I say quickly.

"Not now" he says.

"Evan" I say more urgently.

"Lumerpa" he says, getting aggravated.

"Evan, watch out!" I yelp as the man sends the dart into Evan's shoulder.

"You bastard" I growl. Evan looks at me for a brief second before collapsing backwards and onto my bed.

Slater looks back to his men. "Get her."

I wake up on a bed with white sheets. There's someone in the corner of the room. The 'mastermind' himself, Slater.
