Chapter One

Everything ached: her feet, her heart and her pride. She had been walking for over an hour now, her car a few miles back run off the road because of a god damn deer. Though it partly was her fault as well... she had been driving for eight hours with only four hours sleep in the last 48 hours.

Yet, she would rather be here than back at home with her asshole ex and his bro's that were now demolishing her beloved Pub that had been in the family since her grandfather... She had no clue as to why her mother left it to him when she died.

"Oh!" A voice trills softly, jolting Ariella from her furious stalking and muttered insults. "Are you okay my dear?"

It said a lot about how deep in thought Ariella was when she spun around to see a kind woman standing next to a silver car. How did she not hear it coming, better yet how did she not see the lights come up behind her?

"Um, not really? My car broke down a few miles back." She replied while gesturing in the direction they had come from.

The woman hummed softly as she eyed back down the road and then to the darkening sky. "I can give you a lift to town dear, it's getting dark and being in the woods is not a good idea here. Wolves and bears have been known along here and in these woods."

Ari snapped her head to the trees that lined the small highway, taking in how the shadows darkened and shifted ever so slightly and by queue howls rent the air. Her heart skipped a beat as the howling continued on the other side of the highway awfully close and growing louder as the seconds pass.

"Uh, yes, that would be fantastic. I'm Ariella, everyone calls me Ari though." Ariella introduced as she made her way quickly to the passenger side of the car. She waited for the lady to get in before she herself took a seat, closing the door with a loud clack as another howl rent the air.

"Pleasure to meet you, Ariella, I'm Minna Candace." The lady replied with a warm smile. "It's only another ten minutes to town by car, I'll take you to George, our mechanic, he'll help."

"Oh, thank you. I have no idea where I am; I just drove and kept driving." Ari explained as she held her hands in front of the heating vent. "My phone doesn't get reception out here and its dead anyhow... but that saying where am I?"

"You're near Hollow Fields but closer to Good Glen." Missus Candace stated and took a nearly hidden turn. "Many people miss the turn off this time of year due to overgrowth and winter storms. 10 miles down the road is the turnoff for Hollow Fields."

Ariella took a glance at the time and sky before taking a guess at how much longer it would have taken her to walk the long stretch of road to Hollow Fields if Minna Candace didn't come across her. It would have taken her another couple of hours and she wasn't a hundred percent sure if she would have made it, not with the sounds of the wolves so close to the road.

"Thank the maker," She chuckled giving the lady a smile. "I would have frozen to death."

Minna cast the young girl a smile, one that told Ari that there was more to said smile. "No you wouldn't have dear, perhaps very sick yes but not dead."
