It was pouring rain outside, pattering against the roof top. Thunder rang in the silent air, lightning cracking across the skies in a quiet but dangerous manner. More rain fell, harder and harder each crack of lightning that enlighten the dark black, clouds. The thunder rang louder and louder each roll it took, sending shivers of fear down each human being that sat in their quiet homes. No one stepped in the streets, no light showed in the normally loud homes. No one dared breathe as a shadow loomed over head. Long claws curled ever so sharply against the houses, teeth gnashing together in hunger for blood. A bellow of laughter echoed in the quiet town, emerald green eyes stared about, looking for something as lightning crashed against the sky again. Thick dried fur brushed the tight walls of the houses in the ally where it prowled. A snarl ripped in the silent freezing air. Ears laid back, eyes scanning around it's surroundings.

As this beast prowled in the dark, a cough echoed in the air, sending it to the large black ears that perked at each sound of light breathing. With quick speed, the beast on two legs is standing outside a home. It is to dark to see it clearly but the humans inside sat, huddled together in fear of this beast. A low growl rumbled deep within it's hairy chest. A short, 5'5, male sat near the edge of the large group. His brown chocolate hair shimmered with color as lighting struck near their home. Petrified, the boy shot up and screamed loudly. Running up the stairs. The beast, that stood outside, shot it's head up to stare at the second story window and snarled silently. It's eyes danced with passion for that scream and lunged the short distances on it's large and powerful hind quarters.

Crashing through the window when thunder rang in the air once more. Silencing his crash, the demon beast slowly prowled in. Trying not to scare his prey, long black fingers ran across the wood with a sharp and curled claw. Green emerald eyes stared with intensity at the curled male in the corner. Baring it's fangs, the demon narrowed it's eyes and stepped closer into the dark room. Laying back it's ears, another step and then lightning clashed in the freezing air. Lighting the room, the boy saw this beast and screamed in terror. Wide brown eyes stared at the beast, a petrified wail echoed the silent room. A dark and low chuckle rumbled and vibrated out of this beasts mouth. It's barred teeth parted slightly to let it pass over it's blood stained tongue. "Young boy" the demon spoke with a deep voice. Green stone eyes stared at him.

The young male stared, not sure how to talk yet. "Why do you fear such a beast like me?" asked the demon. It's fangs clicking together, eyes burning deep holes in the male's eyes. A shiver ran down his spine, shaking in pure fear.

"W-w-w-we f-f-fear you because y-y-y-you kill u-u-u-us w-w-without c-c-caus" he stuttered horribly.

The black beast lifted it's head and a barrel of laughter hit the boys ears. It sounded more of a howl then laughter to the human.

"Stupid boy" the beast cackled while it's head fell back down. "I only kill those who do wrong and many of you did" the beast growled again. Sending the vibrations to the poor scared boy.

Brown wide eyes stared at him with disbelief. "How can you say that?".

The beast leaned down, it's muzzle inches from the young man's face. Dark emerald eyes softened lightly, not much though to see. "Stupid humans take over my lands and they want me dead. In the wild, we must fight to survive as you humans sit and wait for it to happen" a warning growl emanated from it's throat.

The young male pulled further into the wall, horrified at the words this beast said.

But nothing can make the boy look away from it's beautiful green eyes. Gasping as the beast lifted it's claw to touch his face. "Why do you fear me human?" the beast wondered with a growl on the verge of releasing.

The boy shook with terror. "You have long claws-" the beast pushed it's claw against his throat. "You have long and sharp teeth-" the beast barred it's fangs deadly at the child. "And you have greater power then any man alive" Gulping, the boy sat silent as the beast pushed a little harder against his skin and then pulled his claws away from the boy's neck.

Growling, the beast unrolled his lips and stared intensely at the child. "I may be strong but loneliness always is the greatest in the forest. No mate, no pack. Nothing" the beast watched the boy closely.

The boy stood on shaky legs, scared out of his mind. "I-I can be your friend if you want" he whispered.

The beast's eyes widen in realization on the boy's words. "A human child?" pulling back, the black beast seemed surprised by this boy.

"Y-Yes" the boy stammered. "I am Logan" he whispered.

The beast seemed frightened by this boy all of a sudden. "No" long curved fangs barred themselves again. Claws running down the wood on the floor. "No, I can not be mad such a fool" shaking it's head, the beast backed away.

Footsteps thundered up the steps, yelling drown the air around the beast and the boy. Turning it's head toward the door, the beast whipped around. "PLEASE COME BACK!" cried out the boy and ran to the window where the beast had jumped from. Tears fell silent down the boy's face as he saw the beast run down the street and over the hill. Hurt, the boy turned to the angry mob that had pitch forks, fire and a golden sword.

In front stood a tall brunette male with hazel magnificent eyes. He stood at 6 ft, shoulder length flowing brown hair, he had a strong stature. Muscles that would let girls just mush at. This man was Logan's eldest cousin. "Logan" his deep and strong voice reminded the small boy of the beast.

Lifting his chocolate brown eyes to those stone hard hazel eyes. "Yes James?" he questioned quickly back.

James lifted the golden sword and rolled it in his large, wide palms. "Did the beast enter your room?" he asked. No fear drawn in his voice or shown in his eyes or stature.

The young man shook his head, looking back down. The short visit had the boy wondering about this beast. Without realizing it, the boy had happened let tears fall down his face when the beast had spoken of loneliness.

James stared at his younger cousin for a moment longer before lifting his hazel eyes to meet darker chocolate ones. "Carlos take couple of my men down the street then turn into that forest on your left. I have a feeling the beast is some where in there" he ordered softly but with authority.

The Carmel tanned male nodded and turned to couple of the swiftest and strongest men. "Follow after me" he ordered coldly and left with five men on his heels.

Logan's parents ran to his side, holding him between them. James had stepped forward and his parents let go, stood up and walked out the door. Knowing that he needs to talk with him. "Logan did that beast touch you?" he asked. Lifting his index finger and lightly touching the small punctured wound on his throat.

Logan, without realizing it again, had tears falling down his cheeks. Staring down at the scratched floor. He allowed those tears to flow freely. "No" his voice shook with fear of this small memory.

The tall brunette sighed and lifted the boy's face with his hands. "My dear Logan, you must tell me if this beast had wounded you so I can confront it and kill it" he whispered softly.

Logan stared down still, angered, James tightened his hold on Logan's face. The younger male cried out in pain. Tears fell down his face, James narrowed his eyes. "Answer truthfully dear Logan" he hissed.

Logan cried out in pain again as his older cousin tightened his grip again on his chin. Tears fell down uncontrollably. Anger rose deeply in those hazel eyes, draining into Logan's brown terrified orbs. "Please James" cried out Logan in pain.

As James loosen his grip, something thumped behind him. A deep and dark growl emitting into the already thick air. Blood drool fell on the floor with a light splat. Heavy, dark green eyes glared at the back of the glorious man who held the dangerous weapon in his hands. "Dare ye speak in such manner?" snarled the beast.

The fearless man stood on his feet gracefully, not an ounce of fear dripped in his vain. "Beast" he growled back. "What did you say to Logan?" he asked in an warning tone.

The beast lifted it's head and laughed loudly. "Do ye wish to know?" he asked. Letting his eyes befall on the boy once he was done laughing.

James scoffed "I wish to know and know I better" he broke the trans the beast was in.

Curved fangs shown in the morning sunlight. "On which grounds?" barked the demon.

Logan sat and watched the two talk in a dangerous manner to each other. Scaring the poor boy to death. The beast smelt the boy's fear and looked back at him. Hard, stone, green eyes stared right into his soul. "Holy Grounds" James bellowed out before lunging at the beast.

A deep growl burned the beast's throat when the golden sword had wounded his left arm. Twisting his body, the beast had reared up and hit James on the side. Knocking him to his left. "If you wish to die, then die you must" growled the beast. Getting on all fours, the beast slowly, very slowly inched forward. Fangs barred, eyes glowing with rage, hate, anger and something else James did not understand.

Logan chocked, watching with wide stricken eyes. "NO!" he cried out at the beast. Stopping in it's tracks, the beast turned back to the boy with a rage that would shut any human up.

"Did ye boy speak to me?" he growled. Narrowing his eyes treacherously.

The young Logan nodded his head and quickly swiped his eyes. "I did" he spoke with his own low voice.

Challenging the beast.

The beast narrowed it's eyes, flicking his thick, long and black tail. "Why must a Beast like me, have a human child, like you. Tell me on what to do and not what to do?" he asked. Pulling his ears back, his lips pulled up in a silent snarl.

He felt anger crash against his skin but Logan saw the pain in the beast's eyes. Before he could say anymore, the beast turned and left without another glance or a word, just left like that. Tail flicking as the beast jogged down the road and then disappeared.

~Morning~

As Logan sat in the grass outside of his house, the sun rose slowly into the air. Few clouds painted against the pink horizan. A light and lovely smile lingered on his lips as he thought over the night. Turning his head down, the young male laid back to stare at the trickling light that the sun has graced the skies with. His light smile gone when he heard someone call his name, lifting his head up but not moving from his spot. Logan scanned around and to his left stood a tall sandy blond male with those same green eyes the beast shares. Twisting his lips, Logan smiled. The tall blond walked over with his own devine smile on his lips. "Good Morning Logan".

Logan stared at him. "Good Morning Kendall".

Kendall, thinking it's okay, shifted to where he stood staring at the arising sun. Watching it with a thoughtful look on his fine features. Logan, being the smart one, saw blood stains on his left arm. Smile falturing. "My dear friend, what happened?" Sitting up in the right position now.

Logan awaited his answer with a questioning look. Kendall, shocked but never showed it, turned to him and frowned. "The Beast had came into my house also. He wanted something but I barely understood him" Shrugging his shoulders, Kendall fell besides Logan.

The brown haired male laid back as well, staring into the gracing skies. Peace and wonder shadowed his face as the morning slowly rolled. The two friends stayed quiet for a moment before Logan broke the quietness with a question. "Kendall?" he whispered sweetly.

Kendall stared at the skies, watching a cloud roll on by. 'hmm?" he hummed back.

Brown orbs pulled away from the sky to stare at his blond friend. "The beast also came to my home. I understood every word" he said flatly.

The blond turned to his side, away from him. "Oh.." he paused. "What happened?" he asked calmly.

Logan frowned. "What's the matter?" he asked. Moving closer to his troubled friend."

Kendall covered his right hand, claws forming. "Oh, nothing!" he smiled and rolled back. Hiding his hand underneath him. "Just a cramp that's all".

The brown haired boy almost believed him till he looked at his covered hand. "What are you hiding from me?" he asked.

Closing those green eyes, Kendall let his smile fall. "Just bleeding. Nothing serious" he shrugged. Hissing in pain from his left arm. The taller male stood up, still hiding his hand. "I'm going to go and get this changed" he spoke in a whisper.

Logan stood as well. "Let me help" the said male, moved closer. A stench filled his nose, almost gagging. Logan pulled back.

The troubled male shook his head and moved away from him. "No it's all right. My mother only wants her to clean it" Kendall said nervously.

The short male scowled lightly and tried to move closer to him but Kendall moved away. "Please?" he asked.

Kendall shook his head and groaned. Almost like a growl. Logan jumped, eyes widen in fear at the sound. Caning his neck to the right, nothing appeared in the sun rised light. Staring in question, Logan turned his head back to find Kendall gone. Sighing, Logan turned to his door and walked into his home. Feeling horrible and tired, the male walked slowly up the steps.

Kendall growled lowly, his paler green eyes darkened and glowed when he entered his home. Narrowing those beautiful eyes, the hurt male cautiously stepped further in. Looking both ways before taking another step till a loud screech was heard. Snapping his head toward the noise, Kendall froze and growled warningly at the shadowed figure that seemed to be lunging at him. Stepping backwards, Kendall fell to the ground. Having the shadowed figure on top of him. Another cry of anger hit Kendall's sensitive ears, flinching. The blond started to transform, angered by this shadowed figure. Before he could fully change, a needle had been stuck into his throat. A howl of rage tore into the air as if a whine. Kendall fought his eyelids as they dropped. "NO!" He cried out before his head fell back.

The young male's head, that was in the sunlight, was being pulled inside the small hut. Far deep into the forest without no human or animal in sight. As his shaped head disappeared in the dark, a cry of sheer pain howled out of the house then silence…..

Well that took a while…. 2 days to be exact.

I thought of this from reading one of my books that was laying around..

Anyway,

Tell me what you think?

I want to know what I could do to improve this and everything…

Well thanks for reading,
