Pop. Bang. Crash. 
The sounds I hear as I pass the heavy locked basement door.

There it is again. I wonder what could be in there. Sometimes I cant sleep at night because of it. Why you gotta be so hard life?

Scarlett. You. Don't. Have. Time. For. This.

Oh, who cares, you're going to fail anyway.

Maybe, it's just rats. There. Problem. Solved.

No, I need to find out. This mystery is going to haunt me forever. Like for life.

I need to know. Need, not want. This is a life and death situation. I know there's no rats or pests in there or else why would the owner ask me to keep out at all costs.

Maybe he was trying to protect you from something dangerous.

Like what a serial kill-

"ARGH!", I hear a grunt fro the other side of the door.

I'm pretty sure that is a human sound rather than a rat. Unless it is like that movie Ratatouille...where the rat controls the man and-

OKAY! We get it. No time for jokes. Get on with it.

"Um. Hello," Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Who says that apart from Adele. "Is anybody there?" You are not stranded on an island Scarlett.

No reply. This is getting more mysterious by the second. And I'm getting more curious by the second.

"Um, okay. If you can hear me make that crashing sound once." I order in a loud voice. Hopefully they do hear me. Whoever 'They' is.

I wait and wait. Then crash.

"Oh- Oh my god. Oh my god. Um, do you need any help?"

Crash. Then a sharp gasp of air.

"There is a key, under the doormat. Find it and unlock the door." A very husky masculine sounds from the other side.

What the?

"Hurry up, you idiot, I'm dying in here." I scramble down to my knees and lift the doormat to indeed find a rusty key.

I get back on my feet and unlock the door. I couldn't believe what was in front of me. I stand at the doorway, my jaw reaching the floor, my face etched with confusion.

"Now come and cut out these ropes and I will tell you the long story."

My dream continued the one I'd been having for the past couple of nights. I ran, gasping for breath, through the familiar woods from a dark figure behind me. The faster I tried to run, the slower I seemed to go, until it was like I was running in place. I knew I needed to run. I was terrified of what the figure would do when he caught me. "Mara Leigh," a deep, smooth voice called. It was almost hypnotic. That was new. The figure had never spoke before now. I ran as fast as I could go, eyes searching the forest floor for a big stick or something that I could use to defend myself. "Mara Leigh!" the voice came again, this time more insistent. The forest slowly started to fade and I started to awake to someone shaking my shoulders. "Beau?" I mumbled, turning my head to the side. What's Beau doing in my room this time of night? Why is he shaking me? "Do not call me that name." My eyes flew open as I jumped at the voice from my dream. A face was right in front of mine, and just like the voice, it wasn't Beau. Before I could form a scream, a hand covered my mouth. I tried to bite it but I couldn't get my mouth to open. He's too strong. I started to use my whole body to try to get away, but he crawled on top of me, holding me down. I pulled the hidden knife out from under my pillow and slashed as hard as I could at him, but he just grabbed my wrist and squeezed it until the pain made me drop the knife. Then he grabbed both my hands in one of his and held them over my head. He held me down while I struggled. I grunted and moved and tried to kick and scream, but I only wore myself out. Exhausted, I stopped thrashing and let the tears flow freely down my cheeks. I didn't know what to do, so I just tried to prepare myself for whatever was coming.

"Whatever you're doing, you gotta have fun. If you're not having fun, you're doing it a whole hell of a lot wrong, my motto on life." I smiled, feeling giddy. The two looked at me and thought of how good friends we could be. The Alpha, the Beta and the Omega, it sounds nice. "Tamya you are-" Ryder began but suddenly someone crashed through the door, not only throwing it off its hinges but splitting it in half. "Where the hell is she?" Eric looked like one of those cartoon characters with steam shooting out of his ears. He took a look around, obviously searching for something, someone. He look mental, even more mental me, if that's even possible. Finally his eyes landed on something and he looked more grounded and I finally realized what he was looking for. "Tamya." He managed to growl out looking straight at me. He stomp over and stood there looking down at me. He looked like he was about to sprout fur and go all wolf on my butt. "Hi?" I asked and he looked a little calmer at that. "Where were you?" He snarled looking angry so I did what any self-respecting and rational person would do. l went all ninja on his ass and knocked him to the ground, "Obviously I was here since that was where you found me. Duh." "What is wrong with you? We're mates, you were supposed to fall head over heels with me, not try to beat me up and start a rival pack." He growled in frustration only succeeding in making me burst out into a fit of giggles. He glared making me laugh harder than before. Messing with this kid is amusing. "Love is living up to another person's expectations of what they feel you should be. Does that sound like me?" I asked. "Not at all." I heard the three boys chorused. I knew I was special, they all know who's the boss. Moi.

Two figures walked up to the house and stopped in front of the fence. Scarlett shuffled closer to the figures to be able to hear what they were saying. She didn't know who they were, but if they lived in that mansion they were probably rich. And if they were rich that meant they'd have money. Money to pay debts. She hid behind a large trashcan and spied on the figures. It was a boy and a girl; with the girl in a wheelchair. And luckily, she could hear their voices. 'I'm not sure about this, are you sure you're going to be okay?', the boy asked the girl. 'No,' she replied as she suspiciously scanned the area and sniffed her nose. 'There's someone out there,' she said eventually. The boy looked around, confused, and smiled. 'It's probably just a stray cat.' 'No,' the girl said again, 'I know this scent.' Scarlett tensed and held her breath. What did she meant when she said she knew that scent? The girl pushed her wheelchair away from the fence, away from the house and the boy obediently followed. 'I told you, it's probably nothing.' Scarlett hid her head behind the trashcan and took off her backpack. There she reached for her collapsible sword. It slowly started to rain and Scarlett cursed silently to herself. This would blur her hearing senses. She could hear the girl approach as she was mumbling to herself. 'Where have I smelled this scent before? Where- Who?' Scarlett released her breath, closed her eyes and let the adrenaline kick in. She took off the cloth from her face. This girl had money, everything else didn't matter. She walked out of the shadows while the rain started pouring down on her. The boy and girl looked up at her in surprise and sharpened their attention. Her face wasn't too be seen, as she wore a large hood over her head and a cloth covering her face. Once she was close enough, she pulled out a small object that collapsed into a large sword and raised her chin challenging. 'I'm going to need your money.

Bang! I sat bolt upright. Did I imagine that? That noise? What was it? I clambered out of bed and almost fell down the stairs with the panic that had set in. My front door was wide open but nobody was there, the wood was just swinging in the doorway allowing the cool breeze in my house. What if somebody was already inside? I hopped over the living room sofa, to climb the stairs yet again and as I made it to the landing I was thrown into the wall. My body pinned against it with a muscled form shadowing mine. A hand placed over my mouth silenced my screams that I was too scared to let out anyway. "I'm not going to hurt you. Just don't scream." It was Colton. His husky voice was a distinct reminder that he was my mate. The tingles that spread through my body made me hate but love the entire situation. I want him closer. "You don't run away from me, understand?" I nodded, he was really close to me and my wolf purred for him to be closer. I pushed the thoughts to the back of my mind as he slowly removed his hand. "What do you want?" I demanded, making the futile attempt to shove him away though he didn't move an inch. "I want what is mine." He replied with a low growl that sent chills up my spine. My back was still pressed firmly against the wall and I think I was in shock to move. Though I felt safe which made me feel sick, how could I be safe in the presence of him? "No." I walked downstairs and into the kitchen. "No?" He repeated my words back to me and I boiled the kettle for a cup of tea. My mum said tea fixes everything, then again it never fixed her relationship. "You heard me." "I heard you clear. I'm just making sure you're happy with that answer before I make you regret it." Colton advanced forward, pure dread taking over my body at the size of him compared to me. He leaned forward so his lips were against my ear and with a soft tone he whispered. "Are you happy with that answer?"
