Rain fell down hard. Even hail began to drop down from the blackened sky. Thunder clashed and thunder rumbled around everything. Water splashed as man dashed down the street. Jumping over limbs over the small hills even running through streams. Looking he saw his pursuers and picked up the pace. The farm field was even bigger than he had first thought it was. Knowing if he didn't go on the offensive he would be screwed beyond anything he could imagine, he stopped looking around for a place to make his stand. Looking ahead he saw a barn. Perfect. Dashing at top speed he made his way to the barn.

Slamming the doors open he jumped up to the top floor and saw some heavy old farming equipment. Some looked sharp enough to pierce skin. Good. He would need it. He saw saw a silver chain, quickly he covered his hand with a rag and grabbed the chain. Oh yeah, he was ready.

Looking over he saw the brown wolf slowly walking in. Sniffing and looking cautiously. A man walked beside her, running his hand in its fur. He was hold a machete in his hand, ready for an attack. " Where is he, girl?"

The wolf looked up in his direction. Shit. He had to do something fast. Too late. The man with the wolf jumped up to the top floor and stabbed him through the chest. Dropping the chain he looked up at his killer. " You betrayed us all for her. Why?" he coughed out.

His attacker stayed silent as he rammed his hand in the right side of his chest and yanked out his heart, which was pitch black. Dropping the body he jumped down to where a fire was already burning, the wolf gone and now a woman was in her place. Standing naked, waiting for him. Taking off his jacket he handed it to her, tossing the heart into the fire. Burning it into nothing. Wrapping his arms around her he kissed her cheek." You ready?"

" Yes." They walked away from the barn as it started to be engulfed in flames. Walking to his car not that far from the barn, they drove on. To Stonehaven.

Stonehaven house.

Childrens laughter rang through the rooms and halls as Logan and Katie Danvers chased each other, looking for their cousin Rocco who was hiding from them. Clayton Danvers grabbed his little girl making her squeal as he have her a kiss before letting her go back to playing. Going to the kitchen he helped set the table for the family get together they had planned for the day. Turning as he saw the door open he saw, Nick Sorrentino walking in with his new wife a witch, Paige Winterbourne. She was now the leader of her growing coven. They had crossed paths when a warlock names Alister who had taken a young witch Savannah who had gotten close to Elena who had also been captured by the man for her blood.

Clay welcomed him with a hug as Savannah and Elena walked in arms around each other.

" Well I see you found her." Paige said hugging Elena.

" Yes she did. I am so glad you all could come." Elena said as she gave Savannah a sideways hug.

" Hey we wouldn't have missed it. A good excuse to get away from home." Nick said hugging Elena as well.

Paige gave him a look.

" Someone's in trouble." Savannah whispered.

Elena laughed as she saw how they all had grown from all the hardships they had gone through. Savannah had grown into a more open young woman. It so good to see she was happy.

" Nick! Pick me up." Katie jumped holding her arms up.

Nick laughed picking her up and placing her on his hip. Katie wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a big kiss on the cheek. Nick looked at Clay and Elena. " What are you feeding her? She needs to stop growing."

Logan and Rocco came in next with Jeremy Danvers. The former alpha of the pack until he gave it to Elena. Logan ran to his father who picked him up and layed his head on his shoulder.

" Mommy!" Rocco went up to his mother Rachel Sutton. Reaching down for her son Rachel picked him him giving him a kiss. " I'm sorry I am late. Thank you guys for watching him."

" Anytime." Clay told her.

Rachel had been in a relationship with Logan Jonsen, a cousin and a fellow pack member that had been killed while protecting Jeremy from an attacker. He was also the one Elena and Clay named their son after. Rachel had also been involved in a kidnapping with Alister where he had done experiments on her and she grew into being a witch. Thanks to Paige she had grown at a good pace with her powers and was able to keep them in check.

" Well since we all are here why don't we all go out and grill some food." Elena said. Everyone joined outside in a gathering of fellowship. It was an odd group yet none of them could have felt any happier. The kids all played on the playground set even as the sun began to set on the fun filled day, everyone went inside to continue talking and holding there now tired children.

Elena closed a door behind her where the three children lay sleeping. Walking back down the stairs she stopped at the top of the last few steps. A man in a dark red coat stood at the front doors.

" Who are you?" she proclaimed an answer.

They others must have sensed him as well since they come in the room to see what was going on. Clay went to stand by his wife.

" She asked you a question." Nick spoke out.

The man just smiled as he looked to all of them. Just staring at them with his dead eyes.

" Something is off about him, Nick." Paige whispered to him.

Rachel moved up the stairs to rush to the children if all hell broke loss. Jeremy moved closer to their houseguest.

" I am here to speak with your alpha." his english accent was deep and rough.

" What is the topic of your conversation with this pack's alpha. What are you? You are no human. You smell… dead." Jeremey said, not understanding the smell and the task this man had.

What had he come for?

" My leader in interested in this area. He wishes you to kindly give him your home and never to return as he wishes to make this his new home."

" He wants us to leave Stonehaven? You're crazy." Clay said

Elena had to agree. But none of this made sense. Why would someone want them to leave and just give up their home? No, there was far more to this. She wasn't about to lose their home. Good and bad memories where in these walls and woods. Yet this is where she had her family and nothing and nobody was going to tell her to leave.

Before she could give a response to his words, the front doors flew open, a dark brown wolf came in growling at him. Showing its teeth. Jumping him. Biting him on the shoulder, as her teeth sank the man screamed and shoved her off getting to his feet.

" You damn here!"

A man then dashed in plunging his hand through the man's chest and yanking out his pitch black heart. The man feel to the floor not moving a single inch. The wolf made a noise and moved to the living room were a fire was going. The man the tossed the heart as it burned.

The wolf then ran outside.

" Who the hell are you?" Clay said.

" And what did you just do to that man? In my home." Elena made it clear she was not happy about this invasion. Nor where the others.

" I just saved you all from a world of hurt. That man wants more then your home. He wants you all dead."

" How did you know he was here to take our home?" Elena was not liking where this was going. Then she caught the scent of the wolf that had been in here a few moments ago. A woman walked by them with dark brown hair.

No. Not possible. Was she….

" Yes I am what you are thinking. I am a wolf, just like you. ANd we just saved your furry asses from a vampire demon."
