A/N: So my first fanfic with Kol, you know there's just not enough of them around. Hope you enjoy. Please review :)

Why did I ever agree to this? Oh wait my friend who ditched me for some asshole, that's who! Grabbing a beer out of someone's hand I had stalked off only to have it spilled all over me when I was bumped by some horny couple.

Ripping off my ruined shirt I stood in the forest half naked fuming. Zipping up my hoodie I turned around to go back to the party when I heard...

Snap!

As I was walking I heard a something behind me. Turning I found a man standing in the dark shadows created from the bonfire's light. He was casually leaning against a tree with his arms crossed. He stepped forward with the most arrogant smirk on his handsome face. He was dressed nicely with a collared shirt, vest and dress pants.

"Well aren't you a pretty little thing. What's your name darling?" He purred in an english accent that had me weak at the knees.

"Cassandra. You?" Wow. This had to be the most gorgeous man I had ever seen.

He gave a me a queer look, like he was inspecting me. "My name's not important but you smell absolutely divine."

"T-thank you. Not your usually compliment." I wanted to smack myself for the stupid stutter. Why of all the times?

He practically waved off what I had said, like it meant absolutely nothing to him before quickly changing the topic. "Are all women in this century like you."

"What do you mean this century? And like me how?"

"Free. I don't know of many women who would strip to their undergarments in the woods in the middle of the night." He gave me a wicked smirk with a spark of mischief in his eyes.

"No not many people do that and- wait a second were you watching me?!" I shouted at him and went to move away when he grabbed my arm holding me in front of him. I struggled in his grasp and managed to spit out my next question, "You didn't answer one of my questions."

"Now now love, there's no need to shout. You're probably wondering what's about to happen? What does he want?" He paused for a moment to let his words sink in before continuing on, "I'm right aren't I? Hmm. It's why I can see the fear in your eyes grow. Such a beautiful sight." He reached up with one of his hands to stroke my face but I smacked it away quickly and glared thru blurry eyes.

What the hell was he talking about? A deep dread seemed to crawl over me the more he looked at me. There was something wrong with him, I didn't know what but I didn't want to stay and find out.

"Don't give me that look darling." He warned me in a playful tone with a teasing glint to his eyes. It was almost as if my action caused him great amusement.

Out of nowhere he pushed my back into a tree and his firm body to my front, keeping me locked in place. He leaned down to my neck and sniffed letting out a content sigh against my neck, sending pure terror down to my core. I was shaking in his grasp, I was going to die. There was no question this is my end - the end to all the things I never did, the places I would never see, the life I never really got to have. Tears started to run down my face and a sob escaped my lips. He pulled back then looking down at me with a mixture of impatience, annoyance and anger.

I was about to try to run after getting out of his grasp somehow when we both heard a growl from behind him. Twisting around him to get a better look over his shoulder I saw a wolf. This just wasn't my night.

The man in front of me straightened from his crouched position to turn and look at the wolf in disgust. "One of Nik's pets I see." Nik. Who the hell was Nik? Pet? What is wrong with this guy.

It was growling viciously at us with it's menacing canines. Fear crawled up my back as it poised itself to attack one of us. Within a flash he ran towards us, jaws unhinged to chomp down on our flesh. Closing my eyes I waited for the bite to come when a sharp high pitched howl pierced my ears followed by two sets of growling and the sounds of something being ripped apart.

Opening my eyes I looked around to see the little remains of what was left of the wolf. He was torn apart and thrown into all different directions, guts and other insides littered the ground. Leaning back against the tree I slid down to the ground with my hands covering my mouth at the gruesome sight around me. Tearing my gaze away I looked to the man standing not too far away from me. He was covered in blood and his shirt had acquired long scratch marks at his arms and torso, but otherwise he was completely fine.

What the hell was happening? How was this guy ok? Who or what is he? How could he have ripped that wolf to shreds?

Tears flowed freely down my cheeks and sobs rocked my body as I wrapped my arms around my knees to hide my face from sight. I was so lost in my world that I didn't notice that he had sauntered back over to me and was on his knees to be eye level with me. When he touched my arm I screamed and nearly jumped out of my skin. His eyebrows rose up in surprise which quickly turned back to normal, but a softness creeped into his eyes as he looked me over. The feeling of being a piece of steak was gone and replaced by puzzlement.

He gently grabbed my face between his hands and studied my reaction. I thought I would flinch the moment our skin touched but I found myself enjoying it. He was handsome that fact was undeniable but his dark mahogany eyes were by far the best part of him. It was odd, he just killed a wolf and was about to kill me, so why did I feel safe with him?

"Listen to me darling, we have never met. You will remember nothing of this night after you entered the woods to change. Go home and stay inside." I nodded numbly.

A breeze blew out of my trance causing a shake of my head with the sudden urge to go home early from the lackluster party.
