I see a forest it's dark I'm guessing it's night time. There's a person with me a man he is running as if his whole world will end if he doesn't get to his destination in time. He's carrying me crying for me to stay with him for me not to die.

"Your going to be alright ju-just stay with me okay?"

"I'm sorry Kan-"

"No don't say that you'll be alright..."

I coughed up blood and his eyes widened he stopped and laid me near a tree.

"I know I promised but I can't lose you!" Something sharp was in his mouth it looked like fangs he bit into my neck drinking slowly and bit his wrist bringing it to my lips.

"He-Here drink-"

"Shh...It's okay." I brought his head to my chest and he sobbed. I'm sorry.

"Please don't-Naveen? Na-Naveen?!"

"Naveen how many times do I have to tell you do not fall asleep in the tub especially underwater!"

My eyes shot opened and I quickly got up gasping for air. Oh just another dream, but it felt so real...Ugh I got to stop reading those vampire romance novels. My mom placed a towel over my head and started drying hair.

" I swear someday you are going to drown like that."

"Daredevil sleeps like this and he didn't drown."

"Your not a Dc comic superhero your a teenage girl."

"Marvel."

"What?"

"Daredevil is from Marvel not DC comics." She rolled her brown eyes and smirked. I often wondered how come I don't look like her. She had Brown eyes and long brown hair while I had long black hair and strange orange like eyes. Eh whatever probably genetics.

"Anyway I found that acceptance letter from True Cross Academy under your bed mind explaining how it got there."

"I have no idea maybe it was a ghost."

"Don't get smart with me young lady why didn't you tell me you got accepted?"

"Because then you would make me leave my school and send me to there?"

"What's so wrong with that?"

"It's a expensive school and I got a scholarship it's probably filled with spoiled rich kids!"

"But it's a great school and I have a old friend who owns the school."

"I still don't want to go"

"Just think about it okay? Now get dress breakfast is downstairs."

I slid down on the stair railing and flip off it landing perfectly in front of the stairs.

"And she sticks to landing and crowd goes wild." Mr. Johnson laughed and Mrs. Smith claps. You see my mom owns a bed and breakfast but she let's people who needs a place stay. So far there's Mr. Johnson a retired war hero who thought me how to hunt and fire a shot gun, Mrs. Smith is a former actress now a teacher at my high school who's husband died 5 years ago, there's also Kevin he's a college student who works at the movie store people think he's weird well except for us because he never really talks, but he's a sweetheart and let's me read his comic books, and lastly there is me and my mom. My mom sighed and glared playfully at me.

"Naveen how many times do I have to tell not to go flipping off the railing you could hurt someone."

"Oh but Hana she did a splendid landing."

"Yeah and none of us got hurt yet."

"You two need to stop spoiling her."

I giggled and grabbed the piece of toast on the table and was about to run out the door but my mom grabbed my collar.

"And where are you running off to?"

"To hang out with Kevin at the movie store."

"Eat first."

"I am I have toast ."

"Nice try eat."

"But I'm a diet." Everyone exchanged looks and burst into laughter.

"Naveen you and I both know you can't go on no diet."

"He's right dear you eat the most out of all of us."

"Hey I can go diet if I want to"

"Yeah sure honey now sit down and eat." After I ate bacon, pancakes,waffles,eggs, toast, sausage and drunk a glass of Orange juice I ran out the door but before I left I could hear Mr. Johnson saying.

"Going on a diet my foot"

I rode on my bike to the movie store down the street and right out front was Kevin being picked on by some of jocks and cheerleaders at my school.

"Hey!" I pushed them away from and helped Kevin up.

"Are you okay?"

He nodded timidly and when we were walking back into the store Takeshi grabbed my arm and his friends grabbed Kevin.

"I knew you would come running to help this freak!"

"What do you want?!"

"Like you don't know you rejected me last week and I want a bit of pay back. Now here is the deal you and I have a little bit of fun in the back of the store and my friends won't harm your friend" I was about drop kick this creep when we all heard a gun safety go off. Takeshi froze and slowly turned around.

"Let go of them and walk away before I shoot."

"Y-Your bluffing do you know who I am I'm Takeshi Fugaku my dad owns half of this town-"

"So gives you the right to rape girls and beat up people? Let me just kill you now." Takeshi released me and his friends released Kevin and ran. I looked at our saviour and was kind of disappointed he had long hair blue eyes and a eye patch. He looked like a freaking cowboy slash pirate.

"Uh thanks pirate cowboy dude." He raised an eyebrow as if he wasn't expecting that.

"Aren't you a rude brat"

"Brat?! Mother-" Kevin covered my mouth before I could finish my sentence.

"I'm sorry w-we are v-very grateful. Come on Naveen."

"Naveen? Is your mother Hana Haruka?"

"Yeah what of it?"

"I'm a old acquaintance of her mind telling me where she is?"

"How do I know your not some rapist or ax murder-"

"S-She is at the Bed and Bre -Breakfast up the street."

"Kevin!"

"Thanks kid." I glared at the man as he walked over to the Bed and Breakfast and I started hitting Kevin playfully and he carried me into the store and we watched some movies together. Until it was time to lock up then we walked back to the Bed and Breakfast.

"Mom! Did you meet that Eye patch deduce bag-Oh." The eye patch jerk from earlier was sitting at the dinning room table with Mom.

"Sorry-"

"There's no need to apologize Naveen your right he is a deduce bag."

That was unexpected mom is never like this what did this guy do?

"I can see where she gets that attitude from."

"Get out Toga"

"Aren't you going to tell her-"

"I said get out!" The man known as Toga sighed got up and left and mumbled.

"Stubborn as always."

"Mom who was that?"

"No one you need to be concerned with."

"But-" She walked over to me hugging me tightly. "Just drop it Naveen."

"Okay...what's for dinner?"

What have you done?!

I had to do it

They are going to kill you and that thing

She's not a thing she's a person

You must leave immediately

Naveen... it's... time... to wake up... wake up Naveen...

Wake up!

I shot up from the water and heard screaming and yelling and glass breaking I threw on my leggings and tank top once I opened the door something jumped on me and tried to bite me it didn't look human at all I managed to push it off and run to my bed room I slid across the floor and grabbed my shot gun from under my bed and faced the creature after shooting it in the head killing it instantly. I heard Mrs. Smith scream I ran to her room to see her behind Kevin who was trying to protect her from another one of those creatures. I shot the thing in the chest but it didn't go down and it came at me but I shot it in the head then it died.

"Are you two alright?"

"Yeah but we have to look for your mother and Mr. Johnson-"

"Stay back you blood sucking bastards!" That sounded like my Mom! I told them to get out of the house they hesitated but left through the back door. I quickly made my way to the living room where I saw Mr. Johnson bleeding from his arm but hacking those things head off.

"Naveen run!" I shot each and every one of them and grabbed Mr. Johnson taking him outside with Kevin and Mrs. Smith. I was going to run back inside for my mom when Toga came out of nowhere and stopped me!

"You can't go in there!"

"The hell I can't I have to go save my mother!" I pushed him away and back inside with him following me.

"Damn it Naveen get back here!"

I ignored him and kept on running yelling for my Mom.

"Naveen...?"

"Mom?!" I saw her on the floor bleeding from her stomach I tried to pick her up but she stopped me.

"No honey leave me they are about to burn the place down..."

"Who's they?! You know what never mind because I'm getting you out of here!"

A explosion went off in the kitchen. "Naveen you got to get out of here!"

"Shut up! I'm trying to get you out of here!"

"You can't this is my punishment but I don't regret a single thing...Toga please take Naveen and go..." Toga grabbed me and started running for the exit I started to struggle.

"No wait we can't leave her! Mom! Mom!" She smiled and disappeared in the smoke once Toga and I were out the house exploded. My eyes widened and I fell to my knees.

"MOM!"

We all went back to Toga's motel room where he gave us simple instructions and demands.

"You will not tell anyone what happened tonight and you will leave town immediately."

"Alright come on Naveen you can stay with me and my sister in London-"

"No Naveen is coming with me."

"Excuse me?! This girl just lost her mother! I think it's best for her to stay with a stable guardian not some barbaric drunk!"

"Listen lady in Naveen's mother's will it states that if anything should happen to her Naveen will go stay with her father!"

"Your her father?"

"No but I know him his name is Kaien Cross he owns True Cross Academy."

I said my goodbyes to my family and cried in their arms they said they will visit or write. I got in Toga's truck and we drove off after a few minutes of silence he gave me something wrapped up in fabric.

"Here your mother wanted you to have this." I unwrapped it and saw it was a black and silver staff.

"What am I suppose to do with this?"

"Go hunting."
