Warmth

Chpt. 1

I slowly stepped through the broken down branches and tiny puddles of dried up water. Seth's bristled fur ran against my wrist as he ran in circles around me.

"Come on Seth, I know you want to" I called to him, watching his worry glance.

"Go hunt, I'll be fine" I reassured him quietly. Ever since the day he imprinted, he hasn't left my side, sometimes like a guardian angel but others like an over protected boyfriend. Still without him my life would be a never ending black hole, the day our eyes locked was the day I fell into his trap and fell in love. His eyes went back and forth from my face to the shadowed forest. He let out a tiny whine and sprinted towards a herd of deer.

I stepped over a broken tree climbing to a huge rock leaning against the ground. I slouched down on the flat surface letting out an exhausted sigh. I calmed easily following the slow wind with my eyes. Anytime there is time to waste I begin to think, maybe too much. Seth was meant to be my protector; somehow I don't see him like that. Suddenly a crackling sound came from the trees behind me. I looked cautiously over my shoulder. I shrugged the thought away and turned back, humming a familiar tone.

I was instantaneously shoved on to the ground as bitter fingers gripped on to my arm. I rapidly looked up finding something only described in a fairytale. His pale skin covered his body, black crystals in his eyes and his jet black hair swaying with the wind.

So wrapped up in his beauty I forgot the danger he presented before me. He inhaled my scent as I looked in horror at his face.

"I'll make this quick, I don't like to play with my food," he whispered

"Finally Isaac learned some manners" a faint voice commented. A Tall slender women appeared from the tree, long flowing dark curls. Same eyes, same skin as Isaac.

I stared as he knelt down a smirk slowly appearing on his face. He took my arm in his hands and started inhaling. I let out a tiny shriek but no sound came out. I pulled my arm from his bitter hands and backed up until I hit the bark of a tree.

"Hmmm…I love the ones who run" he whispered. Before I could even blink he had held of my arm. What is he doing? How did I become the food?

He lunged his teeth into my skin as I let out a loud shriek. A fire began to burn on my arm; everything became a blur as I let out every scream inside. Something leaped onto the man, a sandy colored dog, Seth? Suddenly 5 more came chasing the man through the forest.

"THE FIRE," I exclaimed, why wasn't anyone paying attention to the flames? "PUT IT OUT…THE FIRE" I whipped my head around watching as the women escaped into the forest, no one paying attention. A piercing pain came up my body as I lay limp on the floor. Seth put his muzzle on my leg weighing it down letting out tiny whines.

"I got her, Seth," a smooth voice muttered. I looked slightly over finding another man pulling me from the ground.

"The...f..ire" I muttered. He had the same cold hands but a slight difference from the other. His eyes had a light color, something like butterscotch. Still he looked as if he was modeling for a hair gel ad with his blond hair. He held my wounded arm in his hands.

"It's too deep, sorry" he whispered. Was I dieing? Of Corse I was, I was dieing.

I tried to hold on, I tried not to slip into unconsciousness, and I tried. He held me close to his chest ignoring my screams as it spread farther and farther along my body. I could have sworn we were flying, it felt like the day Seth ran through the forest with me on his back. Days had past with me in an empty room lying on the mattress, screaming. How could just one bite cause me so much pain? Why, why did he bite…me? Suddenly I stopped screaming, the pain had died down I couldn't feel it anymore. I could hear the faint splash of water outside and the galloping of deer. What happened to me? Murmurs began to become clear out the door, one in particular.

"How could this happen! I was supposed to protect Ann from these...these LEECHES!" a voice cried.

"It's not your fault Seth, they were waiting for you to leave" a softer voice whispered.

"Exactly, I left her I wasn't supposed to leave her! I'm a horrible protector, HORRIBLE!" Seth whined again.

I felt my self leap out of the bed to comfort him; somehow I glided towards the door more elegantly then usual. I touched the door knob when something burned in my throat. A lump began to form inside my throat. I put my hand near the burning, when I noticed my cold hands, almost like the man who saved me, and the man who tried to kill me.

What had I become? What monster did he turn me into?
