Did you just kill me?" Camillia trembled, starting at this strange, Frappuccino-drinking boy. "Where's Hank?"
The Reader -whatever he was- drummed his fingers on the dashboard. Then apparently unable to resist the temptation, he took another slurp from his Frappuccino and sighed.
"You know you've just asked the most obvious questions in the universe, right?"
Camillia scowled at him, and he raised his hands in mock surrender. "Calm down, tiger. I'll answer your questions. Firstly, the Frappuccino came from a drive-thru Starbucks on the way here. Obviously." He stressed every syllable of the word, just to mock her.
"Secondly, your pretty little boyfriend's dead in the backseat -and by dead, I mean dead to the world, as in he's asleep." He added to her look of alarm. "Thirdly, judging by the amount of questions you asked me in the last five minutes, I'd say you're pretty much alive."
"But you just beheaded me!"
"I- You know what? I'm not even going to explain. You're gonna forget about it all anyway, in about," he checked his watch, "now."
"What-"
There was a tap on the window, interrupting her. Instinctively, she turned to look - only to see an elvish, vaguely Asian boy with tattoos all over him grinning broadly at her, an open book in hand. She rolled down the window.
"Who are-"
"Sweetheart, meet Marcus. Say hi,"
The last thing she saw was a glowing blue blob erupt from the book, accomapined with a shout of what sounded like "Simba!", before it slammed into her and she passed out.

Camillia Lane has been alone all her life.
She's been having inexplicable nightmares all her life.
She's been hiding all her life.
She's been pretending all her life.
For what? To hide from Them, and now they've come to find her.

HE WAS DANGER, THE RED ZONE. It was advised if you see him, run in the other direction but she loved chasing danger, SHE WAS THE TROUBLE-MAKER AFTER ALL.

"No one touches what is mine!" He ignored her threat and growled animalistically, his chest visibly vibrating as he pushed her up against the car door, leaving no space in between. His wolf purred in pleaser upon her touch and warmth, his anger vanishing like foam however he still kept on a cold face.
"Huh? Yours!?" She sneered without getting affected by the compromising position they were in. "I think you have gone delusional over the course of time, Mr Xavier Millers. I am no one's personal property. I repeat, no one!" She placed a hand on his chest aiming to push him off but before she could have done that, he lowered himself right in front of her lips.
"Are you sure about the delusional part?" He brushed his lips over hers teasingly while his hands hooked on her waist. Her wolf reacted immediately, whimpering for more.
"You see," she pulled back a bit, "priorities and perspectives change with time." She blinked at him innocently as he gazed at her, confused by what she meant. He lowered his gaze to her neck trying to get a better look from up close. It didn't show any sign of his mark which had him frowning as he looked back up in her eyes.
"What do you mean?" He whispered, his grip on her tightening without him knowing about it.
"Meaning is simple," She shrugged. "I have rejected your mark and I am rejecting you so this," she pointed towards his lips while moving his hands away with her free hand, "doesn't make me weak anymore."
