Picture above is Irina Davis - Played by Rose Bertram :) 

Anonymous Person,

It's been a long night; my eyes snapped to my wrist where my watch was, it was 11:30 pm. I stood alone outside of the shop as I pulled down the iron blinders. I had already sent all my workers home, so it was just me. After locking all three locks I picked up my back pack from the ground and headed down the street. I wasn't far from home, my house sat right at the corner of Regent Street, here in Western Devour town. I didn't own the shop, it was for my mom, but she was away on a business trip. This makes me the second boss for now.

Walking down the street with my head phones plugged in, my mind wondered about the very beautiful girl I met the other day. She had come by the store about two days ago, she told me that she was new to town, and she was just visiting some family. This was a very small town, everyone knew each other. Which was why I asked her about them; I didn't get an answer. Instead I got a beautiful smile with the response "It doesn't matter." 

Her entire being was alluring; I couldn't stop myself from staring in awe. Her pale skin, beautiful long black thick hair, sculpted cheek bones, and big, memorizing, dark eyes. Her smile, the way she spoke with a deep Spanish accent had such an appeal to me. I wanted to see her again. I felt like I wanted to get to know her better. There was something about her that just captured my attention. Up to now, since that day, I haven't been able to get her image out of my mind.

Josette's POV,

I was sitting in a Caffeine shop alone trying to enjoy my breakfast. I said, trying. Multiple people were staring at me. A lot of them were gossiping about me, none of them knows that I was hearing everything they were saying. Most of the men looked at me lustfully, and the women looked at me hatefully. Some of them kept wondering who I was, some of them were judging me by saying I looked, stuck-up, mean, selfish, and of course, there was one calling me a slut, and whore. I rolled my eyes, these people were ridiculous.

None of them even knew me.

Before coming here I was in Paris, but a friend had sent me a message to meet her here. Her name was Irina Davis and she was one of the vampires that had been turned along with me, and two others. This goes to say, we were the same vampire age, 33. The bells on top of the cafe door rung, and the footsteps were coming towards me. I took a sip from my coffee, and then sat it down. In a quick reflex I took a hold of the hand that was about to touch my shoulder.

"Well I guess sneaking up on you wasn't the best idea." A familiar voice spoke next to me. I got up out of my chair "Irina, it's good to see you my friend." I hugged her.

"I could say the same thing." She looked at me "you look beautiful as always." She complimented.  I thanked her, and then offered a seat. We both sat down.

"Would you like to order anything Irina? It will be my treat." I told her. 

She shook her head "You know this type of food is vile to me. I have an appetite for something else." She winked.

I lowered my voice "I see you still have no control over your hunger." I stated.

She inhaled the air "All I smell is food. An all I hear, are beating hearts pumping blood." She smirked.

"We should get out here then. You've only just arrive, no need for trouble right now." I said as I waved over the waitress for me to pay my bill.

************************************************************

Irina and I had left town. We were walking about in the woods, catching up about how much of our lives have changed. As well as how things are now for the both of us.

"Why did you summon me here? What is this meeting for?" I asked Irina.

She walked ahead of me. Then turned around and stopped in front of me.

"I just missed my friend. Is that so hard to believe?" An innocent smile plagued her face

I gave her a pointed look "I'm going to ask you again Irina. What is the reason? What did you do?" I spoke slowly.

She stayed silent as she looked around. "Do you smell that?" She asked.

I also looked around, and inhaled the air. Just then the sound of sticks breaking became louder.

"Wolves..." Irina seeped out "We crossed their border. I haven't even realize when we-" she was cut off by growls.

Irina and I stood back to back as a parade of werewolves surrounded us. They all bared their teeth at us.

"Look, we don't want any trouble. We were just passing through." Irina spoke calmly. 

One wolf in particular, a dark chocolate brown stood out from all the rest. He growled at the ones who stepped out of the circle that surrounded Irina and I. He was their Beta. They weren't going to let us walk away from this. As one wolf stepped forward to charge at us, instincts kicked in as well as reflexes. I turned around in an instant to take a hold of the dog by the stomach and diverted him. I sent him flying towards the others. Irina charged at some as well. I tried to keep my control and not go full blown vamp on these dogs. I didn't want to kill them. I just wanted them to back off so that we can leave. 

I started to pick them up one by one as they attacked. That's all I did, counter attack their blows, dodge their hits, and threw them away from me. I noticed one of them was chomping at Irina, and two more wolves started to take her down as well. I ran pass the wolves in my way and made it to her side. I grabbed one of them back on and crushed its rib cage, then throw them on the ground. Irina punched one in the face and threw him at me. I jumped up and kicked him in the side, and he flew into another wolf beside him.

"Are you okay?" I quickly asked her.

"I'm holding up. But there's too many of them." She answered.

She held her side. My eyes drifted to where her hands were. She got bit.

"It will heal." She reassured. I only nodded.

We looked around at all the wolves snarling at us. A tall blonde man in a  jersey pants came out from the bushes. He radiated power, their beta. I stood by Irina's side, I kept my eyes locked with his. It was a stare down. He smirked as he pulled out a gun. Two  wolves charged at Irina and two came towards me. Everything for a moment was in slow motion as I fought them off. Even the sound of the gun going off was intensified but slow. The wolves finally brought me down as a stinging pain hit my legs and one in my shoulder.

I fell to the ground feeling numb, unable to move, and my vision started get extremely blurry as I watch Irina fall under the same tactic.

"Ir-Irina..." I slowly spoke before succumbing to whatever they shot me with.
