Today has just been a peaceful day, no Hunters or other Rogues or anything besides a few squirrels and some rabbits, I could get use to life like this everyday; but life is no fairytale. I know something will ruin my day sooner or later but I guess before it does that I should introduce myself.

I'm Vexy Denali, I have long flaming reddish-orange hair, black eyes that will kinda sparkle and a purple-to-pink around my pupil (don't ask because I don't know what the hell is up with my eyes), freckles, red lips, and lightly tanned skin. I am twenty-three years old.

Anyway, so I'm perched up in my tree in nothing but a pair of dark blue holey skinny jeans, a dark gray jacket with fur on the inside and on the top of it with a black fur cover up thing over it that is a little longer than my jacket, fingerless gloves, and tan knee high lace up boots that have been through so much, things that I don't know about; lets just say that none of my stuff I'm wearing is exactly mine.

I am playing with my mothers necklace while swinging my legs back and forth on the branch I'm straddling, I look at the snow on the mountains and smile but it instantly drops from my lips; thinking about my old Pack. I jump down from my branch and land in the snow with a muffled "thud" then take off running towards my little cottage, it's a really cute little place that had been abandoned for years before I found it, it had dust over everything and there were literally no scents anywhere in the cottage; I love my cottage.

When I reach the cottage there are people outside and inside of it, I hide inside a pine tree and look at the people and what they are doing, they are searching through my house; searching for me. I see three guys outside and one or two more inside but these aren't just your average human sized boys, these are buff and huge and muscular boys from a Pack; a werewolf Pack. I start to slowly climb the tree I'm in so when I figure out my whole plan then I'll be higher up, I get up high enough where their body weight will break every branch they grab, I stick my head out and start making noises to get their attention. They just start looking around but never up so I sigh and stick my upper body out, they still don't see me.

"Up here dumbasses," I yell so they look up at me.

"Nick! Brandon!" One of the two boys outside yells at the guys inside, two more very muscular boys come running out of the house. "Up there."

Nick, Brandon, and the two other guys look where one guy is pointing at me and I just give them a sweet smile and a little wave of my fingers, then disappear into the tree and jump to the one next to me; landing on a branch thinner than the one I was on earlier.

"After her!"

"And let the chase begin," I mumble to myself.

I see the guys below me looking up in the tree I was just in so I ready an arrow in my bow and aim at the guy closest to me, it enters his neck and he falls into the snow with a soft thud, the rest of them get in an attack stance and look around; I jump to another tree and then another, never missing or never having to touch the ground.
********************************

I haven't seen the guys for awhile but I don't leave the tree I'm in just for a precaution, it starts getting cold and dark so I hold my jacket tighter to my body to hold in my body heat, I see a little glow in the distance and my curiosity gets the better of me; I head towards the little glow. When I stop a couple trees away from the glow that's when I hear the voices, I stop and listen.

"We can't leave here until we get her. He will be pissed and will do who knows what to us," one voice says.

"Brandon, we can't find her. How will we catch her then," another voice says.

"John's got a point Brandon. We may have our orders but how are we suppose to bring him something we can't find."

"I don't know you guys okay," the boy they call Brandon says.

I hear someone get up and walk towards me, I slowly creep down the tree then hang by my legs so I'm out of the tree, Brandon stops in front of me and looks at me with shock. I put my finger up to my lips to make him stay silent, he just looks at me and I just stare back, I can see the other boys at the fire from here but they are all too busy talking to notice me.

"You're not what I expected you to be," Brandon whispers to me. I just raise my eyebrow. "We've heard so many horrible things about you. Did you kill one of our pack members earlier?"

I nod my head slowly and see a little anger in his eyes, I just look at him with wide eyes like a child would do. He watches me as I lower myself into a handstand and then onto my feet, I run my fingers through my hair so it isn't in my face; he watches every motion very carefully.

"Can you talk?" I nod my head and look at the boys around the fire, Brandon looks back at them too. "Don't worry about them, they won't notice you."

"Why are you here," I whisper harshly.

"We're here to find you and take you back to our Alpha,"a different voice says, I look and see the boys standing near the tree line.

I start to slowly back up but hit something hard and look to see more boys, I freak inside but just look at them like I'm deciding something, they look at each other. I take that moment to start climbing back up the tree, I don't get very far before there are arms yanking me off the tree, I'm slammed back down into the snow and a figure straddles my waist while pinning my arms to the ground; I thrash under him. The rest of them just laugh and I start to get more mad, I bring my knee up in between his legs and hit his nose with my palm. He falls off me but before I can get up someone grabs my shoulders and pins me down, I wrap my legs around his neck and and flip him over me, causing him to go flying into the tree.

I roll my self backwards and stand up, another guy comes at me and but I dodge his blow and kick him square in the chest but for good measure I hit the back of his head hard enough with my boot to knock him out. One more guy comes at me and I punch him but he pins my arm behind my back painfully, I stomp on his foot then elbow him in his gut and finally swing my head back so it hits his nose. I am released, I grab my knife from inside my jacket sleeve and cut his arm so it leaves a long cut from his wrist to his elbow; he falls to his knees in pain.

"Wolfsbane. Not strong enough to kill you but strong enough to knock you out," I tell him.

I look at Brandon but he is just looking at his friends on the ground, I clear my throat and he looks at me with a scared expression. I wiggle my knife at him and slowly walk towards him, I reach him but he falls onto his knees to the ground and covers his head with his hands; like a coward.

"Please don't kill me," he begs.

"I'm not going to kill you. I didn't even kill your friends," I tell him. He looks up at me but I bring my booted foot down so he goes unconscious along with the rest of his friends. "But I will knock you unconscious and look through your stuff though."

I walk over to their still blazing fire and warm my fingers up then go over to the back packs they have, I dump all of the contains out of each pack and go over them. There's some food, matches, flashlights, gloves, socks, some toiletries, a med kit, and finally some tests for each of them. I start packing stuff into one bag and then take off, I left them their tents, their toiletries, a couple pair of socks, some gloves, and some food.

I start off walking but by the time the sun is starting to rise I am running, I reach a little cave thing and decide to rest there for a little while. I smell something weird and start sniffing around the cave but after a while I can tell it isn't the cave, I grab my vest and smell it and the weird smell fills my nose. It doesn't smell like a wolf but that's the only thing I've been around, I take another whiff and know what it is.

A cat.
