"Why is it so goddamned cold!?" Alana yelled in question as we got off the bus. I rolled my eyes. "It's like 'winter' has no meaning to you." Randy remarked under his breath, but loud enough for Alana to hear. She punched him hard in the arm and we all kept walking. I stood behind the group, keeping them all in order alongside Darian. He glanced at me a few times, once every minute or so. Eventually I got fed up, and sighed, crossing my arms and turning to look at him.

"What?" I asked. He smirked. "Your beauty... it compels me." He replied slyly, and tried to wrap an arm around me. I rolled my eyes, and walked ahead of him. "Then find something that compels you more, because quite frankly, the only thing compelling me is the desire to kick you so hard in the balls that it eliminates your chances of EVER having children. Like, EVER." I answered in what would generally have sounded sarcastic.... Only I was DEAD serious. I had found it hard to joke about anything in a long time.

There were five of us in total. Alana, Randy, Nikolai, Darian and I. All of us ranged from 14 to 19, nothing more, nothing less. Yeah, we were the hunters..... but we were also the hunted.

So anyway, If I'm going to tell you my story, might as well start from, well, the start. My name is Jessica O'Mally, and I am the Hunted.
