A/N Hello, My name is Heather and it was a pleasure to write this particular story here.

Please dont forget to vote and comment! They really mean alot to me.

Missing the bus I cursed loudly, walking slowly back towards work. My bus route and time's had changed many times over the last couple of months. The reason for this is that I am getting followed. Little prickles down my spin, seeing the same boy just before I get to work and when I walk home. I should have been angry but deep inside of me I was grateful. 6pm rolled around and I finally stumbled up the dark wooden path next to my house. We lived alone in the country, one road in and out. I picked up the pace as the lights beckoned me. I heard his footsteps behind me, crashing through the woods. I pretended to tie my laces and glanced behind me, he frowned, tapping his foot as he waiting for me to get up. "What is the problem?" Anger rolled through me, I was pissed now. His bronze hair standing out against the moonlight. "Please get in the house" His voice was cold, eyes trained on the space to my left. I turned but no one was there. His knife whistled through the air, landing in the space next to me. Gooey brown drops dripped on the floor, then a thud shocked me out of my trance. "It's not you I'm killing tonight" He was close now, his eyes shining. "Please leave me alone" I whispered suddenly feeling weaker than normal. "I hope you didn't see him" His green eyes pierced mine, rooting me to the spot. "No I didn't see him" I replied, his eyes heating my core. "The creature before, he would have killed you without a second glance. He was a death omen" He said gently, pulling out some paper from his muddy pocket. My mind was still staring into his, refusing to move. "Get in the house, unless you fancy your chances with me?" His eyes lit up, a different warmth filling me. My feet moved and then I was in my house. Rain now pouring down the windows. I ran upstairs, saw the boy wrestling with nothing and yet something was there. The only thing I was given was a piece of paper with a mobile number on. I checked and re checked the paper but nothing else was there. I wanted to say his was crazy and just being a stalker but there was something sincere with his requests making me believe. Saving the number into my phone as Stalker Boy, I ran a hot bath not daring to think about him. Somehow my thoughts always ran back to him. His hair was dark red, green eyes holding you in his trap. "Maybe I'll go and get into trouble, see if he really is here to keep me safe?" I murmured to myself as I soaked in the bath. Half an hour later I was trudging through the woods, cursing loudly. "Stupid idea" I kept going towards the city, every crack and noise running through me. Panting startled me into stopping. I turned towards the noise, keeping my fists up incase. "Who's a pretty one" I gasped as she grabbed my hair, yanking my neck back. Harsh growling filled the air around us, my heart was beating loud in my ears. I struggled against her, she was only a little taller than me. She inhaled deeply, her facial features turning into a wolf like creature. I wiggled more, hot saliva dripping down my back. Her teeth grazed past my jugular, I waited for the pain. The wind whipped around us, she dropped me, snapping her teeth. "Stay down" my saviour stabbed her with a silver knife, she spun facing him. "Aren't you ugly" He produced a sword before chopping her head off. Blood covered all three of us, I stood there mouth wide open. Blood marked his hair, causing it to look alive in the moonlight again. "Hold on" He waved his arms, rain came down lightly washing away the blood and body away from between us. I nodded, wrapping my arms around my body which was slightly shaking. He then turned, his face expressionless. "Next time I tell you to stay in the house, do as I ask" He then left, not before nearly dragging me back home. I didn't fight against him, I was in too much shock for that. I called in sick for the rest of the week, researching and keeping us both safe. I must have crashed as my dad woke up me up. "Maya, you have post". I stumbled out of bed, still wearing the same clothes as yesterday. There was a package on the stairs, no note left but I knew who it was off. Opening the small box, a sword lay in the middle of a deep purple wrap. "WTH!" I gasped, picking up very slowly. Careful not to hurt myself I admired the work. This was a knife from a fairytale! One half was dark wood, just as long and thick as my forearm. I stared at it in awe, feeling it pulse in my hands. "What's in the package?" My father shouted up, I dropped the sword on the floor. "Stuff" I mumbled back, trying to hide it away from them. My phone then rang, Stalker Boy. I groaned, juggling the phone and the sword. "What!" The phone dropped on the floor again, "I said, meet me outside of your house, I'm waiting" He chuckled before ending the call. I threw the phone down on the bed and splashed cold water over my face. My father was a history buff, I decided to ask him about the knife. "Dad, can you tell me what this means?" I had took a picture of them, carefully leaving out my bedspread in the picture. He looked at the picture for a long time. My impatience getting the better of me "Anything?" I asked, watching the clock. "These are very old carvings, this line here states that there are many species awaiting the arrival of a Woman. She will unite the races and save a war" My dad frowned, looking at me. I smiled, kissing his cheek before running out of the house. He was stood there waiting for me. "I don't even know your name and you are wanting to run away with me" Nerves were getting the better of me, my face flushing crimson. "It's Nick, come on" He pulled me through alleyways and cuts, eventually leading me to a dark part of the woods. Even though my mind was screaming it was a trap, my gut said follow him. I felt for the knife, trying to hide it in my sleeve. "I'm sorry" Nick mumbled before darting off into the woods, I frowned. "Great!" I cursed under my breath, trying to focus on something but it was getting very dark soon. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. The darkness seemed to engulf me, panic would soon take over. I retraced my steps slowly, running back towards the city. I heard raised voices, Nick was arguing with someone. "This isn't right!" He shouted before they both turned their attention to me. "Do it" Another man roared before changing in mid air. He was a wolf! I shrieked before dropping the knife on the pavement. Nick's face grew more worried as the wolf pinned me to the floor, drool splattering on the pavement next to us. "Enough" Nick jumped in between us, his face full of fury. The wolf shook his head before darting off towards the woods. We then realised he had tore my jean leg, blood now mixing with the salvia. He ripped up the side more, but the cut was now healed fresh pink skin now there. We stared at my leg, then at each other. "Maya, do not tell anyone about this. I cannot trust anyone else" Nick glanced at my leg before leaving me again. I felt the smoothness of my leg while hearing raised voices a few streets down. I got up slowly, my leg not giving me any pain at all. I followed the voices, it was Nick! "I don't care what happened, I will not just hand her over! She is a person, not a weapon!" Nick roared, my body tingled with power. "I never said just hand her over. But the council needs to know about this!" Joe shouted back, I sensed this could get ugly. "If the council have her, not only will they take her powers, they will continue to take them once they regenerate inside her!" I saw them in the light, the moon shining bright. "If she becomes human then the world won't be wiped out!" Joe was in Nick's face, Nick was barely holding his anger together. "I need her Joe! Like we need air to breathe! I know about your visions! I'm warning you Joe, touch her and I will kill you. Blood brother or not!" Nick sulked off, leaving Joe with the body. I ran away and home, not daring to think about anything else that might want to kill me
