I'm free finally. I thought quietly to myself while digging in my purse looking for my car keys. I started walking to my car glad my 12 hour shift at the hospital was finished. Today was a long day, and what made it even better was it was Friday! Meaning my weekend off, and much needed time to relax started officially now. Being a nurse meant long hours, crappy moods, indifferent smells, and lack of sleep. My career did have benefits, and I love being a nurse. I have always loved to care for people even when I was a child. My dream job was a nurse, but I couldn't help but be excited to have some much needed 'ME' time. I unlocked my car, and slide down onto the seat. A vibration in my pocket made me jump as I started my car. I quickly pulled my phone out, and answered it without looking at the caller ID.

"Hello." I answered.

"Finally, you answer your phone Gen!" My sister shouted it the phone. My little sister Casey has always been my right hand girl ever since we lost our parents. After the deaths of our parents we had to look after each other, and not in just a sister way. Casey was my best friend, and I trusted her more than anyone in the world. We only had each other, and we had come accustomed to our way of living.

"Sorry Cas, it was a crazy day at work." I explained myself. Casey was 19 now, and didn't live with me. She wanted the college life, or college experience is how she told me. I agreed finally giving in after listening to all her rants about how life isn't fair. She would come visit me often when she had a break from school or on the weekend. I told her last night about the break up between Tim and I. We were together  for three years, which was the longest relationship I ever managed to have. I had trust issues, and I will admit I was an very independent woman. I didn't feel the need of having a man necessary. I figure the right one would come along some day. I can't say I loved Tim, because in reality I didn't. I enjoyed his companionship through, and I did miss that. I kicked him out of my apartment when I came home early one day, only to find him knees deep in some bimbo. Surprised? Men where all the same, always lying, and thinking about sex. I was still a virgin, and as much as Tim wanted sex I denied him. I honestly didn't feel safe to have intercourse with a man that was human. Being a hybrid was unknown to me, and I kept myself hidden. I was able to mask my scent, and pretend to be human. I thought Cas everything she knows. If any Lycan would find out about us half breeds who knows what they would do to us. They killed my parents. My father was a full blooded Lycan, and my mother was a human. I remember my father telling me that he couldn't help but fall in love with my mother. He said everything about her scream to him, at first he tried to deny the pull between the both of them. He knew it was dangerous to bond with a human, but at the end he gave in. My mother was his mate after all, and he couldn't stop his wolf from being away from her. Some kind of pull he would always say. He was warned from the Lycan King to stay away, nine months later little old me popped out into society.

A smile escaped my lips ever so slightly.
"Well, I'm at your apartment! Hurry up sis, because we are going out tonight."

"But.." She quickly dismissed my disapproval, and interrupted me in mid-sentence.

"No buts, well maybe a nice ass wouldn't hurt anyone." I laughed at her comment. My sister was probably the biggest pervert ever!

"We are going; you need to get your mind off that cheating dick of a boyfriend! Who will also be known as tiny dick for now on." She interjected. I giggled shaking my head. My sister always knew how to make me feel better.

"Fine, I'll be home soon." I finally agreed, looks like the ME time will have to wait. Getting drunk didn't seem like to bad of an idea anyway.

"Good, hurry up. Love you."

"Love ya too!" I said before hanging the call up. I turned on the radio, and started to flip through the stations, when I saw a dark figure running across the road. I slam on my breaks, and ended up swerving the car. Bam! I was jerked from my seat, and realizing I had hit something. Something big! Even through my car come to a stop a couple of minutes ago I was in shocked. I remained perfectly still, my eyes wide open. My fingers were plastered on the steering wheel. I felt like I couldn't breathe, and I could tell I was starting to go into panic mode. Claim down Gen! Breathe! I start taking deep slow breathes. Breathe in, breathe out! After about five minutes, I was ok. I decided to walk out of my car to see what just happened. I walk to the front of my car, and notice the bumper was smashed in. I heard a soft whimper behind me, and turned around. It was dark, and I could barely see anything other than then what headlights from my car showed. The emergency kit. I ran over to the driver's side of my car, I push the button to open my trunk hearing a click. I heard the whimpering sound again. I must have hit a animal or something. Oh, please be okay. I felt really bad.
