'The picture above is Finny^'

Jane POV

We stared at each other for who knows how long. His cheeks turned a deep red, not from the cold but from me staring at him in his birthday suit.

He jumped up, pulling my jacket more around him. He sat on the ground shaking ever so slightly. I slowly stood from the bench and knelt in front of him.

"Hey, I'm not going to hurt you, shh." I whispered to calm him. He soon relaxed but still had his guard up. "Do you have a name?" I asked with a small smile. He slowly nodded his head yes, still keeping silent.

"Well can you tell me? My name is Jane." I said as I placed my hand over my chest. He quickly looked down then back to me. He looked hesitate as his lips parted. "F-finny."

His voice came out shaky and quite. This made me smile and scoot a little bit closer. "That's an interesting name. It's really unique." I could see a small smile form on his lips when he said, "Jane's a great name too." I scooted closer than before, causing him to flinch at my movement.

He watched every move I made with caution, but made no signs of moving. I slowly wrapped my arms around him and pulled him into my lap. One arms around his back holding him tight while the other rests on the back of his head, laying his head on my shoulder.

"Why are you being nice to someone you just met. Especially when that someone wakes up in your lap naked." His words caused both me and him to blush. I chuckled softly. "Well I guess I'm a strange person, then."

He looked up at me in shock with a hint of confusion. "Wait, you found me last night, but you aren't scared? That wolf you found just magically turned into a human?" I looked down and signed.

"Well, I know about werewolves and witches and just the supernatural in general. A-anyway, why are out here by yourself? Don't you have a pack?" I said trying not to indicate that I'm a vampire.

He only sighed. I looked at him waiting for when he was ready to tell me. His eyes slowly moved from the ground to my eyes. "I got into a little disagreement with my brother. I got so angry that I just ran. By the time I calmed down I was here and it was dark. I didn't have enough energy to go back so I thought I would just sleep here, but it quickly got cold." He explained. Why would his brother cause him to run off and not go looking for him?

I looked up at the sky as the birds passed the tree we were under. "Yeah, I would always get into fights with my brothers. Siblings can be such a pain in the ass." I chuckled at the thought of my stupid fights with Christian and Paul. They seem meaningless now.

"But you still love them, right?" My head snapped to meet his bluish-green oceans. I smiled and nodded my head. "Yea, I still love their asses."

"Where are they now?" Finny asked with pure curiosity. "I left my home." "Why?" I pulled my gazed from him.

"Because......because I hurt my brother. And if I stayed then I would've hurt him again or even my baby brother or my Mum and Papa. I left so they wouldn't be harm and I left because I don't want them to look at me in fear and pain." My voice was strong in the beginning but as I finished it was just above a whisper.

Finny tilted his head to the side as he stared at me. I watch as his sniffed the air around us. Now he knows. Well I guess I'm going to have to keep moving. He's definitely going to run me out of his territory.

His eyes widen. He jumped from my lap and crotched in a defensive stance. Growls and snarls came at me. I watch him with no emotion as his canines grew to a sharp point. His bluish-green eyes now a bright gold.

I stood from my spot and turned my back to him. "Jane, why didn't you want to hurt them?" Finny's voice was cracking as he questioned me.

"That's because I'm....." I slowly turned to face him. He gasped at me.

I could feel my skin crawling with veins as they pushed to the surface. My fangs sharpened to a point in my mouth. Even though I can't see them, I know my eyes are glowing a pure white.

"A vampire."

I forced my skin to stop crawling and my fangs to retract back into my gums. I turned back around and started to walk away.

I don't want to be hurt from seeing the people I care about terrified of me or hurt by me.

"Wait!" I stopped in my tracks. I stayed quiet with my back still turned from him. "Why?" I sighed. "Why what?" "Why did you help me when you knew what I was?! Why did you help me when we are enemies?!"

.......................
.........

Minutes went by until I spoke. "I was stupid." "What?! What do you mean you were stupid?!" I turned to him masking my emotions.

"Why do you care? It's like you said, we're enemies. Back off now!" I growled. He flinched at my words. "See, you don't know! You don't understand, so shut up!" I felt my mask crack.

"Jane." Finny's voice softened with a speck of pity. He walked closer to me but I just stepped back.

I don't want pity. I want to be.........loved.

"Jane, who did you leave behind?"

Just that one question and my mask crumbled. Imagines of Kathy's face flashed pass by my eyes, then Christian and Paul, then my parents. The terrified look on my brother's face. The taste of his blood, the me that is a monster.

I fell to my knees I burst into tears. I hide my face in my hands as I sobbed. All the pain I felt before, all the sadness flooded back into me.

As I cried I felt Finny's arms wrapped around me. I froze as tried to muffle my sobs with my palm. He rubbed my back as he whispered soft words to calm me. "Shh, it's ok. Just let it out." It wasn't helping.

But his warm arms reminded me of Kathy. Her sweet voice, her contagious laugh, her beautiful  blue eyes. I found myself slowly calming down and it felt like my body got very heavy. My eyes slowly closed. I could still hear Finny whispering to me. I soon found myself falling into a deep sleep.

'I don't want to see you hurting anymore.' Was the last thing I heard before I drifted off.
