Forbidden love( I'm back !))

Chapter 1

I run through the forest in darkness, wolves nipping at my heels. I make myself run faster. My lungs start to burn and my legs start to cramp. But, I can't stop....If I stop running it would be my immediate death. They were after me ...after blood. As I keep running I come upon a cliff.

Shit......

I turn to look behind me and see at least eight wolves baring their blood stained muzzles at me. I look over the cliff and see a lake.

That's my only shot, I thought. I bite my bottom lip and take a quick calming breath before hurling myself over the edge of the cliff. As I jumped I felt a pain in my back and realized that if I had jumped a second later I would have been dead.

When my body slammed into the water I gasped, causing water to fill my mouth. It felt as if tiny needles were stabbing me all over. I realized that instead of floating back up I was sinking deeper and deeper into the lake. I tried to swim to the top, but my body wouldn't move. I start to panic as I run out of breath. My eyes start to close and my body felt like lead as I tried to fight my way to the surface.

But, if I really thought about it, dying wouldn't be so bad. I don't have to fight anymore. I can be ....free. A small smile tugged at my lips as I stopped fighting and just gave up. The funny thing was I wasn't afraid....I felt at peace. I would finally be free from all my burdens. The burden of family...the burden of living up to the Blood Moon reputation. As I let my eyes finally close, strong arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me to the surface.

I gasped and tried to take in as much air as I could causing myself to go into a coughing fit. My chest burned as I hacked up water. A hand gently rubbed my back and I turned to look at the face of my rescuer.

My heart clenched as I looked at his face. He was gorgeous. He had shoulder length jet black hair and piercing blue eyes. A straight nose and his lips were a rosy shade of pink.But what really captured my attention was the jagged scar that ran from his temple to the jaw. It made him look dangerous ,strangely that was very appealing. I frown ,feeling oddly protective of this stranger.Who would do such a thing?A slow smile started to form on his lips. I watched fascinated. I reached up and touched his cheek, but jerked my hand back as I realized he was my kind's worst enemy. I realized what he truly was...He wasn't the man of my dreams or the handsome man he is portrayed to be...but he is a ...vampire. His fangs gleamed at me in the darkness. I pulled away quickly and violently as panic started to build in my chest.

His arms tightened around me and he leaned down till his lips brushed against my ear, "Do not be afraid, love. I would never hurt you."

A shiver ran through me at the sound of his voice. Suddenly I relaxed and we stayed in the position as the water rippled around us. He lifted his head and his blue eyes bore into mine. After a moment a grin broke out on his face. It was like the sun coming out after years of hiding. I felt my lips curve slightly in response.

He kissed my forehead, "I must leave you now, but I will be back, dear one."Sadness settled over me. A low chuckle emitted from him, "Do not be sad. I will see you again...Very soon. I promise."

I nod and smile at him, "Goodbye."

He smiled and shook his head, "Not goodbye, love ,but until next time."

I grinned, "Until next time then."

He ran a finger across my cheek, "Yes, until next time, my beloved." As his lips descended, I heard someone calling my name over and over again, and then I was falling.

Suddenly I'm on the floor in my room. I frowned and looked up to see my best friend, Sophia. Sophia was around the same height as me an very tomboyish,which was fine by me because i wasnt a girly girl by any means. She had shoulder length blonde hair ,brown eyes,and full lips.Oh an well actually she's my only friend ,but I don't mind. As she glared at me I resisted the urge to laugh.

"Dammit Leah, I've been trying to wake you up for ten minutes....

As she continued to rant at me, I thought about my dream an smiled. I touched my cheek, remembering his gentle touch.

Sophia's voice broke through my thoughts.

"Are you listening to me Leah??"

I looked at her and smirked, "No, I didn't hear a word you said."

Sophia sighed and held her hand out to me. I grinned and took her hand pulling myself up ,"So why the hell did you wake me ? I was having a very good dream, "I mumble.

Sophia rolled her eyes," You can't sleep your way through life. Come on !!Live a little girl. I mean we just graduated from high school a few months ago. But, the reason I came to get you was to tell you we have a pack meeting in fifteen."

I nod and start to straighten my room. I hear Sophia mutter under her breath as she walked out. It sounded like she said clean freak. I Chuckled and walked into the bathroom that is attached to my room. I got undressed and turned on the shower. I sighed happily as I stepped into the shower. I quickly washed my hair and body, and then I turned off the shower.AS I stepped out of the shower, I slipped. A jarring pain went through my hip and I knew there would be a bruise there in a couple of hours. I gritted my teeth against the pain and scooted over to the sink and pulled myself up. I blew out a frustrated breath at my clumsiness. I picked up my brush as my mind wandered back to my dream. It had seemed so real. Even though he was a vampire I felt so safe in his arms. After I brushed out my hair I put it into a messy bun on top of my head and brushed my teeth. I looked in the mirror and made funny faces. I grinned at myself and thought wow I actually look decent today. Most people would say I'm pretty. I have red hair and light brown eyes, a button nose and pouty lips. I'm exactly five feet and I have a pretty good figure if I do say so myself. I stuck my tongue out at my reflection and walked back into my room since I kind of air dried. I go to my closet and pull out a plain black bra and lime green underwear. I quickly put them on and then pull out a dark pink hoodie, black sweatpants and my black combat boots. I put my clothes on quickly and lace up my combat boots. I glance at my clock and groan. I have my five minutes to get my ass to that meeting.

I looked around my room making sure everything is in order. Then I jetted out of my room slamming the door behind me .I run through the kitchen grabbing a apple off the counter an out the door I go. I run across the lawn to the back of the house and sighed in relief as the pack meeting house comes into view. My relief was short lived, when the doors to the meeting closed.

Fuck I thought I'm going to get it now. As I made it to the door I swung it open an winced as the door slammed behind me. Everyone turned to look at me.  

I sighed and mumbled, "Well......shit."
