"So Ben... Why were you looking for me?"

We were currently walking through the woods, in the opposite direction of my 'house'. I mean come on they are werewolves, we are natural liars, it happens.

"Umm well you may not remember this but you and I used to be best friends when we were little."

"Hahaha... Wait whats that face for?"

Ben stopped and was starring at me with a pained look on his face.

"Holy shit. You're serious right now aren't you?"

"Um yeah."

"Shit.... Well okay. Continue..."

"Anyways, one day you were going to come over for the day but then something big happened and my mom was really upset. She wouldn't tell me what was going on but as I got older whenever I asked about you she would get really upset. Until last year. Alexia, you were kidnapped the day we were supposed to come over to my house. Your mom was killed trying to protect you."

I stood there, frozen. Not able to move, think, or open my mouth and say something. A single tear slid down my cheek as I took a breath, it was all to much to get at once.

"What about... What about my dad?"

Ben shifted uneasily from foot to foot,

"Well he was never around... He left just after you were born."

"Oh."

" Alexia I'm so sorry, I-I came to find you because we need you, back home anyways..."

"Ben I can't go, not now. My father, the one who raised me, was killed by blood rouges. I killed every last one of them, and now they're after me. Did you notice that I've been leading you away from town for the past forty minutes?"

Ben looked around shocked and then let out a sigh. So I continued.

"Well, there are people in town that I... care about, a lot. I would never be able to live with myself if he- uh if they, got hurt. Or worse, killed."

We had stopped and we were now just outside of my hideout.

"Ben, Katie, how far is home for you guys?"

Katie looked up, and I could see the bags under her eyes, they had come a long way to find me.

"Umm about a 3 day run."

I turned around and nudged the rock by my feet, revealing my passcode box.

"Whaa-"

"Ben, Katie, turn around please."

I looked behind me, double checking they had actually turned around, and punched in my keypad.

I had attached camouflage turf to a steel sliding door and it slid over, revealing the double steel storm shelter doors.

"Okay guys, you can turn around now."

They turned around, and Ben looked like a lost puppy in a field of dog food. Katie looked up at me, confused and shocked.

"You guys are gunna stay with me for the night."

Hey guys, sorry its short, I believe that all apple products hate me haha. Anyways, the other half of this will be up either tonight or tomorrow at some point. ~B
