The leaves crunched as I ran through the forest. The wind was whipping at my face. I came to a stop when a large figure came out of the bushes.

"Oh come on I know you're faster than me."

It was Danny my best friend since we were little. His black hair was all messy from running, and his bright blue eyes showed happiness. I frowned this couldn't be the last day we would be together it just couldn't.

He must have seen the sadness in my eyes because he walked over to me and hugged me. Tears were now streaming down my eyes.

"Don't cry, don't cry" He whispered. I couldn't believe after all these years on the Makah reserve he would be moving, it wasn't fare.

"What about the pack?" There is a secret about the reserve, a very unusual secret. The thing is we can all turn into wolves. Are pack is quite large there is about 20 of us now. We all are very warm, tall and strong.

"The pack will be fine with out me." Danny said.

"But what about me and Larke?" I sobbed out.
Larke was my other best friend. I met her a year or 2 after I met Danny. We have all been friends ever since. Larke and I phased around the same date.

"Both of you are very strong you can go on with out me, I'll still write and visit when I can." I wiped away the last of my tears and tried to smile.

"Promise"

"I promise." He smiled and gave me another hug.

"Hate to break up this love fest but I want to talk to my woman." Out of all the people to show up it had to be Brad.

Brad has dark brown eyes and dirt blonde hair he thinks I'm his "woman" just because of the prophecy. The prophecy states that a wolf of pure white and green eyes will bring 2 packs together by the love of her and russet mate. He thinks just because he has fur close to russet and that I have a white coat and green eyes that we fit the prophecy.

Ever since I've phased everyone treats me like a queen. I never get to have any fun like kicking some vampire butt or doing advanced training like everyone else. It's boring and it's going to be worse with out Danny.

Danny growled at Brad. Brad chuckled and walked towards me.

"What do you want?" I said with anger in my voice.

"Oh my sweet and innocent Rory you know all I want is you." He grabbed me by my chin and tried to kiss me. I immediately pulled away. Danny looked like he was going to kill Brad. I could see him shaking.

"Come on Danny lets go." I grabbed Danny's hand and started walking away.

"You'll see when you get home." Brad said with a smirk. I wasn't listening though I was too worried about Danny to talk to Brad.

By the time we we're home Danny had stopped shaking.

"Where we're you 2?" Larke was sitting on the porch of my house. She looked like she had been sitting there forever.

Her blue eyes seemed dull and bored and her straight dark brown hair didn't have its normal shine.

"We we're out for a run." I said.

"Oh" We walked in side. The house seemed the same but vacant. I walked into the hall before the living room. I heard someone talking. It was step mother, and she was on the phone.

When I turned 5 my mother died leaving me with my father, after a few years he got married to Carrie. Dad even explained to her of the secret. I tried to explain to him that she was evil and only cared about money but he didn't listen.

"I understand I will tell her." I walked into the room with Danny and Larke and my sides.

"Rory, you're home." She had a happy look on her face. She sat down on the small chair next to her and didn't a happy sigh.

"Hello Carrie"

"Hello Mrs. Martin." Danny and Larke said together.

"Hello Larke, Hello Danny, Rory I need to talk to you could you sit down."

I sat down. What could she be keeping from me?

"Rory, you've heard the prophecy before right." Of course I've heard the prophecy before that was my bed time story when I was a baby.
"Yes, I remember it."

"Well you know Brad……"

Wait could this be what Brad was talking about.

"Well umm we have set up your marriage."

"MY WHAT!" I couldn't believe that she set this up.

"Now don't go huffing and puffing your 18 now and the prophecy states that you will marry Brad so you might as well get married now."

"Why would you do this, I don't love him!" I was shaking with anger now. Danny grabbed me and guided me outside.

The second I was outside I phased, ripping my new jeans. I ran to the forest.

Why was this happening to me? Danny was leaving and I would be getting married. I was only 18; I was barley out of high school I didn't want to start a life with Brad.

So you heard your stepmother and my step mother are going to start are wedding don't you think it's sweet.

Brad walked out of the dark with a wolfy smirk.

Trent won't let that happen.

Trent is the pack leader there was no way he would let brad marry me against my wishes.

Oh really, I've already talked to him, he says it will be wonderful.

In his mind I could see a picture of Brad and I walking down the aisle. I shook the disgusting thought off. No way was I going to marry him.

Don't shake the thought off so fast, our wedding is in 3 weeks.

3 weeks that's too fast I'm not getting married in 3 weeks.

I'm not marring you and that's final.

But so untrue my sweet Rory

I'm not "your" Rory.

I bolted away from him and ran as fast as I could I heard someone behind me and ran faster.

Please stop running.

I stopped and turned around. It Danny his black silky coat shimmered in the sun. I looked into his blue eyes, they were filled with sadness. He walked over to me and licked my face.

You don't want our last day to be like this.

Of course I don't but I don't want to be married either. He sighed and licked my face.

We walked out of the forest, when I finally noticed it was getting dark our last day together was mostly wasted. I could feel the tears coming on but held back.

We phased back and walked to his house together. We stopped at the porch at looked at each other. He bent down and kissed my forehead.

"I'm sorry this day ended so fast, I wanted to savor it. Don't worry I'll see you again."

He brought me in to a hug and let go." He walked in side and I was left alone on the porch.

The sky grew darker and darker as I finally decided to leave. I ran home, not want to think of the fact that Danny was leaving and that I was to be married in 3 weeks.

I ran in side my house not wanting to talk to my evil stepmother. I walked into my room and slammed the door shut up and jumped on my bed. I grabbed a pillow and screamed into it while sobbing my heart out. Time was passing by as I fell into a deep slumber. When I woke up it was still dark out.

I walk to the restroom to brush out the gross taste in my mouth. I looked up into the mirror. My emerald green eyes had puff red circles around them from my crying and my naturally straight light brown hair was frizzy and a mess.

I pulled my hair back and dried my eyes. I looked at the time it was 7:45, they were gone. Danny was gone now .
