Chapter 1

She trembled as the wind chill her through the ripped and bloody bed gown. Her eloquent robe discarded in an attempt to throw off her pursuers.

She could feel her power draining from her. She had to last till dawn. She ventured off the path into the jdense forest, crying out as the thick briers tore into her feet and legs.

She didn't pause; the luxury of rest she could no longer afford. There wasn't anyone that could help her; she was alone. Her pace faltered as she remembered the events of the night. The betrayal of a trusted friend, the death of her soulmate, and the genocide of her entire race. Her soul ached. She knew her lord was dead. She was the last of her kind; well they were the last of their kind.

Her hand rested on the swell of her stomach. The child within restless at its mother's strain. From behind, she heard the calls of men and that of the horses. They would have to dismount. She had a chance now. The sky was gray, the sun would rise soon and then she could save them... soon.

A red light shot past her blocking her path with fire. She whipped around, fangs bared, hissing and snarling at the man in front of her. Her husband's friend and murderer.

"Ah, why run? You knew I would find you. I need you... well I need that monster inside of you. It reeks of power. A power that will be mine."

Her mind whirled for ways to buy time. She knew this man. 'Anger him' a voice in her head screamed.

"You're too weak to even best me. My kind created you. We created the very world you know. We allowed you to walk this world. Of course you need our power."

"Whore!" A burst of energy bolted from the end of his staff, slamming into her body, causing her to scream out and fall to her knees. As suddenly as the attack started, it stoles. "Finally on your knees where you belong."

Her body was convulsing from the last attack. However, she opened her mouth and snarled another insult.

"Well I guess next time we'll have to raise more obedient dogs. But I'll give u a chance to earn you keep. All you have to do is bark. Say woof..." She watched as his face turned purple with anger.

"You will pay for that beast."

Just as the sun peaked over the horizon, he hurled a bolt of sickly green energy at her. She gathered the power the rays of the sun offered her and the energy that was left in her body and pushed it into her womb.

She smiled as her body careened to the earth. A vision of a ruby haired girl before her eyes.

"Keep her safe..."
