Zariah's POV

I just kept running and running without looking back, honestly, I was frightened out of my mind that my father was trying to abuse me. Was he going to abuse me? I wasn't really sure but I knew I didn't know anything anymore.
"Get back here Zariah" he screamed. I ran faster because I never wanted to see him again but when I saw tall buildings that seemed to be skyscrapers but weren't I knew were I was. The city. I kept running and when I got close to people I didn't slow down I only sped up in fear of my father being behind me.
"help somebody help! This man is trying to kidnap me" I yelled and soon enough a light brown hair man took notice and helped me, he called the police and for the moment I could be safe for a few years time.

"Thank you, sir," I said as kindly as possible.
"No problem kid, I'd be happy to help any time. And my name is Jacob. I hope I get to see you again one day" he said smiling. I smiled back and walked into the city not knowing where I was going, I just wanted to get away from my old home and start over freshly in my life for the time being.

I didn't realize how long I was caught in my thoughts because it looked about 4 pm when I snapped back to reality.
"Hi! I'm Lucy! Who are you?" she asked very hyperly
"I'm Zariah, I ran away from home because of my father but he should be behind bars right now. But I don't have the heart to go back, too many bad memories" I explained.
"Oh, okay. I'm sorry to hear that your father was like that" She said sympathetically.
"It's okay, I'm fine with it. Besides, I'm sure he's behind bars right now" I said with a small smile.
"Lucy come on! What's taking so long!" asked a very impatient boy
"I'm talking to a new friend Zack" Lucy exclaimed as she started to get a bit frustrated. I saw her eyes become a light orange indicating that she's a werecat like me.
"You're a werecat too" I blurted out softly without myself realizing it until 3 seconds after
"How'd you know" she questioned cautiously and quietly
"Your eyes turned light orange," I said in a hushed voice.
"Ohh, okay then" She smiled
"Mom wants us home, she wants us to do our chores," said Zack as he just stared at me angrily.
I took a step back letting him have his space and to keep myself distanced if needed.
"I'll just go, I need to find a place to sleep anyways. Cya" I immediately starting rushing away after I said what I said before Lucy told me that I could stay with her. I decided not to since I wanted to show I could stay out by myself for a night or two. Which will be most likely impossible for me since I have no food or water.

"Zariah?" Lucas asked, "Is that you?"
I turned around to see him smiling, it was unexpected but I hugged him as soon as I saw him
"what are you doing out here?" I said questionably
"I ran away so I could get away from my parents, yes I know I left my pack and became a rogue but at least I don't have to deal with my dad." He said
"Fair enough. Now come on, I'm looking for a place to sleep for the night" I insisted
"Alright" was all he replied with, I was waiting for him to retort but he didn't

Lucas's POV
I was walking around in the city wondering how Zariah was until I saw a figure that looked like her, I walked up to her and asked
"Zariah? Is that you?"
She turned around and saw me. I smiled because it was her and she hugged me, I hugged back immediately because she seemed so kind even though I didn't really know her yet.
"What are you doing out here?" she questioned
"I ran away so I could get away from my parents, yes I know I left my pack and became a rogue but at least I don't have to deal with my dad" I replied
"Fair enough. Now come on, I'm looking for a place to sleep for the night" she insisted
"Alright" I followed her until we found a small area under a bridge where no one was so we decided to sleep there for the night and maybe a few other nights.
"Its kinda cold," she said as she shivered slightly
"Hang on a minute, I've got something in my bag" I murmured as I got a blanket out of my bag and wrapping it around her
"Thanks," she said softly while giving me warm smile.
