Aidan’s POV:
The next day, we all got dragged out again, to eat lunch. Then my parents ran into some college friends or something and (conveniently) had me take Tiana to the park. Tiana followed me silently, staring at the ground. She hadn’t fully looked me in the face yet today. I wondered why.
The park had lots of trees. I led her through the back, a shortcut to the main playground, where most people were. Not a lot of people came this way, so I understood when Tiana slowed and glanced around.
"It's okay," I told her. "Just a shortcut. Not a lot of people know..." I trailed off, sensing something strange. Movement around us. I stepped closer to Tiana instinctively, wondering what's going on. "Who's there?"
A chuckle. "Looks like we've been caught." A man stepped out from the shadows, a creepy grin on his scarred face.
Two more people stepped out from behind the trees. One guy with snow-white hair, and a woman with flaming red hair and lots of jewelry. I knew what they were immediately. I pushed Tiana behind me protectively.
"What the hell you want?" I demanded, not too politely.
The woman laughed. "Ooh, feisty, huh? I like that. And you're not too bad to look at either..." She smiled at me seductively. I heard Tiana snort softly.
"Calm, boy," the first man said, glancing past me greedily. "We know what you are, and vice versa. There is no need to fight."
"We just want a taste of your pretty snack there," Snow-White said, licking his lips.
Tiana stiffened, and I wondered how much she understood. Or if she saw how sharp the man's teeth were. They were being so obvious! Because... they didn't expect to let her go alive. "No," I said firmly. "Go get your own. Get the hell away from us. She's mine," I added for good measure. I pushed her farther back, ignoring Tiana's protests.
"Really?" Scar-Face looked incredulous. "You'd pick a fight with your own kind?"
"Damn you," I spat. "I'm not one of you bastards."
"He's right," the woman said over the protests of her accomplices. "The boy's not like us... He's different." She frowned, staring at me.
"Holy crap!" Tiana burst out. "Can someone please tell me what the hell is going---"
I clapped a hand over her mouth, but it was too late. They turned their attention back towards her, taking in her scent. Snow-White launched himself towards her. I thrust myself in front of Tiana, taking full force of the guy. I shoved him back, adding a punch to his abdomen just in case. Grabbing Tiana, I ran the rest of the way out of the trail. They wouldn’t do anything in public. I hoped.
I set her down, just out of the shade. I looked at her anxiously, wondering what she was thinking.
"Shit," she said.
Huh? I stared at her, confused.
“You're hurt.” She pointed at my arm where the guy had scratched me.
"Dude," I couldn't stop myself. "You’ve just been through---something. And that's all you got to say?" Then I cursed myself; now she's going to ask.
