Bella's POV
I was walking through the forest, jumping over sticks and logs, towards my secret place. My phone was hidden in my pocket because Zane was coming over soon and my mum would call me when he arrived.
'Hey CJ,' I said, trying to strike up a conversation.
'He-... Bella, do you smell that,' she asked abruptly. I sniffed the air and instantly regretted it. I almost gagged at the smell of hot, rotten trash.
'I don't think we're alone. It smells like a... rogue,' CJ said the last part quickly.
After I heard what she said, I straightened up, my legs apart in a fighting stance, and looked around.
'What do I do?' I asked quickly.
'Um, if he tries to fight, turn into a wolf and bite his neck. If not... run,' she said seriously.
'You want me to kill him,' I asked, shocked.
'Bella, they'll be trying to kill us!" She pointed out.
Right after she said that, I heard two voices from not too far away.
"Why are we out here again?" one of the voices said in a bored tone.
"Because alpha wants us to- who are you?" he growled suddenly, staring at me.
"I-I'm someone who needs t-to go," I stuttered and took a step back.
"Not so fast. You should stay here, we just want to play," he said with a wink.
It took me a second to understand what he said.
"Eww. Anyways you're like twice my age. I don't 'date' grandpas," I said sarcastically.
"Grrr. Your gonna get it for that," he growled as the other guy laughed.
"What are you laughing at," he snapped at the other guy and he quickly shut up.
"You're coming with us... whether you like it or not," he growled and they started walking towards me.
"Don't you dare even touch me," I growled loudly.
They were a bit shocked that I growled but shook it off.
"We'll do more than that," the guy that had a sense of humor said.
"Dude, gross!" I gasped and turned around to run.
Before I could, I felt something land on my shoulder and looked across to see an ugly hand laying there.
"Don't touch me," I hissed before I turned around again and kicked him where it hurt.
He instantly let go and dropped to the ground, clutching his... ehem.
The other guy watched and started laughing again.
"You're next," I teased and watched as the guy I kicked slowly got up.
'Bella, go for the neck,' CJ urged in the back of my mind.
I watched as one of the guys shifted and growled at me.
He started running straight for me until I jumped out of the way and he slammed into a tree.
I saw his unconscious naked body and shuddered. I turned for the other guy and ran for him, shifting halfway there.
He stood there, shocked, and before he had time to react, I jumped on him.
I started furiously trying to bite his neck but before I could, I whimpered at a pulsing ache on the back of my head. Then my world drifted into darkness.
