I cannot understand this pain. This numbness inside me. Why can't my parents just get along? I just want to scream. My name is Miranda and I am alone in this world.
I hear a sudden crash through the living room window as I cry and wish for the pain to go away. I hear my parents' screams and then dead silence. Suddenly I hear large footsteps coming my way. Scared, I back into a shadowed corner hoping to be safe. Then something comes through my bedroom window and grabs me in protection. I start to scream and shake. Then a big blueish grey wolf barges through my door. The thing protecting me hisses at the wolf warning it that if it tried to touch me, it would be dead instantly. "Leave." She said in a serious tone.
The wolf backed off and ran out scared. Scared still myself and now also confused, I look at the woman in front of me shocked.
"Who are you?" I asked confused.
"My name is Selene. I'm a vampire, but I won't hurt you. I came to save you because you're in danger."
"What was that thing?"
"That was a lycan. Or otherwise known as a warewolf. They're after you because you have a special gift that they want."
"What could I possibly have that's so special?"
"Come with me and I'll take you somewhere safe. I'll tell you everything when we get there. Pack some clothes and then we'll go."
I nodded and did as told. About two hours later, we reached our destination and she lead me into the house. I walked in behind her and a man was standing in the kitchen doorway looking at her worriedly.
"Did you get the girl?" He asked.
"Yes. She's right here."
Selene stepped out of the way so he could see me behind her and he smiled relieved. "Hi." I said slightly nervous.
"Miranda, I want you to meet Michael Corvin. He's a hybrid of the two. He's also my mate and lover." Selene said smiling.
"I won't hurt you. Like Selene said, her and I are together. We're both going to protect you." Michael said walking towards me.
I just smiled and nodded. "Thank you." I whispered more to myself then to them.
