Summary: "Secrets always seem to find themselves at the hands of someone who might not keep them. So why do we try so hard to keep them safe if they are just going to be exposed? Maybe that's why we let them get exposed, but not tell the whole truth. So others can figure it out themselves. Just for the element of surprise."
AN: This is a somewhat partner written fanfic. It is by TheBlazingMelody and BluePencilStain . We both have different versions, but are using the same characters. Please don't judge too hard because this is my (Melody's) first fanfic. Hope you like it :D.
"Don't worry, children! I will do my best to keep those monsters away!" cried out the running woman.
After she said this, the two girls running with her started to ask why they were running. Only the woman understood why and was the only one to look closely enough to see the 3 people chasing them.
"Mama? Mama, why are we running? My legs are starting to hurt!" complained the short, black haired girl.
"Yeah! Why are we running? We don't need that much exercise! This was supposed to be a playdate at my house that included a walk in the park!" exclaimed the taller, brown haired girl.
They were both only 8 years old. They couldn't have understood what was happening until they were older. This was probably best based on the predicament they were in. So they were left running barefoot in the woods, going who-knows-where with only the woman understanding any of what was going on.
Finally, the woman came to a stop in front of a very small cave, only big enough to fit the two 8 year olds.
"I want you to know that your parents and I love you. We only want you to be safe. Fate has decided to bring you both together, only increasing danger for you both. We will do every possible thing to protect you. Stay here. Someone will come for you soon. I promise."
With tears in her eyes, the woman covered them with a blanket, stood up, and left.
She ran as fast as she could, only stopping when she heard footsteps behind her. She immediately turned around, eyes glowing yellow, with claws replacing her fingernails.
"You're not getting them today or any day! I will not allow it! Accept that fact and move on!" screamed the woman.
"I don't recall ever asking you what I can and cannot have. However, I can assure you that we are just removing the threats before we come to claim our prizes. Our master will be so proud!" exclaimed one of the hooded figures.
"And I think we are just about to get rid of one."
All three of the hooded figures leaned forward to attack. They leapt forward and attacked in unison, not stopping until the woman's screams were silenced.
"Our prizes will come soon, my sisters. After all, no one has ever won against us. Come. Our master is waiting." With that, they all flicked up their cloaks and disappeared.
All that was heard afterwards, was the howling of a wolf and the silence of the woods that followed.
AN: I hope you enjoyed the first chapter! Please review and stay tuned for more! :D
