Chapter1

She woke up groggily and slowly got up.

She put a hand to her head; she had a terrible headache.

She looked around the dark room she was in. It was a small room with little more than a bed and small bedside table. She vaguely recalled what had happened the night before.

She was running, running hard and fast, as fast as she could, as if she would die the second she stopped for even a second.

Someone or something had been chasing her. She tripped and fell over a tree root as she ran.

She quickly rolled over just in time to see a dark shadowy figure standing over her. It hauled her up by her arm and started to drag her through the trees.

She struggled violently and managed to break the grip of the person holding her.

She scrambled back through the black trees when she felt someone grab her again.

This time she was unable to break free and as she continued to struggle she felt something hit her. The force of the blow knocked her to the ground and she slipped into darkness.

Then she had woken up in this dingy room. She looked around and noticed there were no windows, she was beginning to sweat now and walked over to the door.

Locked, no, there was no way out. Footsteps approached. They stopped outside her door. She quickly jumped back in bed and pretended to fall asleep.

The lock clicked open, and she heard the door open. Someone walked up to the bed and said "I know you're awake, so why don't you just get up already?"

She slowly got up and looked up at the boy who was there. He looked about her age, around 5ft6, with short, dark hair and silvery blue eyes.

He gave her a small, kind of evil-looking smile. She shuddered silently to herself. Though he seemed to notice this, he showed no surprise.

"So," she said breaking the silence "where am I and why did you bring me here?"

"I guess I should explain, do you know of Fenrir Greyback?" he asked.

"The wolf? Yes, I've heard of him," She replied uncertainly.

"Well, he joined up with a society of wolves known as the Lupine community. Most of them can change at will and are especially strong during a full moon," He replied.

"When you were running chances are you didn't look back, right?"

"Yeah," She replied.

"The person who was chasing you, he was a wolf. I was trailing him and followed him to where you were in the park. When he started to run I followed the two of you and distracted him. While he was confused I caught up to you, but you must have thought I was he when you struggled. I had to knock you out before he came back and found you, sorry about that."

"Why was he chasing me, do you know?" she asked.

"I'm afraid I don't."

"So I'll chance a guess, the door was locked because of the wolves."

"Yep, by the way, there's something I should tell you. Just promise not to freak, okay?"

"Sure," She replied.

"Well… I'm a vampire," He said nervously.

She thought about what had happened and decided that he was nice enough, "Okay, well I have to tell you something too. I'm not just a witch; I have elemental power over fire too."

The boy sighed with relief that he was able to tell her.

"By the way my name is Jake Draconi I just moved here early in July from Romania."

"I'm Madelyn Knaugt, but you can call me Maddie, and some people call me Lyn, too." "Originally I'm American, but I lived in Ireland before I moved in, this summer."

"Is that the time already? I should be heading home. It was nice meeting you Jake, see you later I hope." "Hey awesome, you live down the block from me!"
