"Where the hell is everyone?" Selena asks.

"Work." Elizabeth replies, looking off into the distance.

"You know something, bitch. Might want to spill, before your guts do the talking." Selena slams Liz up against the wall.

"I don't know anything, I swear."

"What about your little alpha bitch? What's his deal? Not all Alphas take in new supernaturals without a trial first."

"I'd suggest telling us, Lizzie. Selena can be a bitch, so she wouldn't hesitate to kill you."

"Seriously, I have no idea. Listen to my heartbeat."

"Or you're just skilled at lying your ass off."

"Jennifer, this isn't the time. Someone's coming." Selena releases Liz, and turns toward the dark alley, eyes glowing a deep, vibrant purple.

"Come with me, otherwise you'll be caught and burned by them." The hand points to four guys in black, walking down the street, rifles in their hands.

We link hands and are pulled into the shadows. It's takes a minute for our eyes to adjust, and once we can, the alleyway isn't so bad looking.
There are several different creatures hidden in the darkness, including a shallow vampire. "What's going on here? Why are all y'all hidden in an alley?"

"It's a long story. Come, sit," he pats the cushions next to him, and we sink down to the ground. "I'm Gerard, the retired alpha of Blood Moon Falls. This is Emma, Layla, Kaitlyn, Bailey, Hailey, and Noah. I rescued them off the streets so they wouldn't have a chance of being caught by the Hunters. What brings you girls here into this town?"

"My mother has some dirt on Katy's parents. She's the sheriff here." Jennifer says.

"Sheriff Shayla?" He asks, moving a strand of hair behind my ear.

"You know my mother?"

"She's an old flame. My daughter would always play with you."

"Megan?"

"You're remembering...?"

"How do you escape this god-awful place?"

"The rooftops. They can get you to where you need to go."

"I have to see my mother."

"Alright, I got it."

"Katy, come with me to fetch dinner. I'd like to talk to you."

Our savior had been living with those supernaturals for the past two years, saving others from the dreadful state of mind that would soon knock on their doorstep.

"The world is 67% supernatural. The other 32% are Hunters. The point is that you should never trust anyone."

"Now, what's for dinner?"

"Well, we have to hunt and then cook our food, so rabbit."

"Oh." My face flushed red with embarrassment.
