Chapter 1

Darkness surrounded me. I started to run, and saw a light ahead of me. I ran, and yelled.

"Help, please." I looked back, and saw the darkness getting closer and closer to me. The darkness was something bad, and terrifying. Something was trying to pull me back into the darkness. I ran faster towards the light. I stopped right at the edge of the light. The most wonderful smell surrounded me. I saw a shadow walking towards me into the light. The smell was getting stronger, and stronger. My knees felt so weak. The shadow was not a shadow anymore. I saw clearly now what was walking towards me. I should have been scared, ran, or something. Instead I stood there waiting. A huge, wolf was now in front of me. It just looked at me, and I could tell it was drawling my scent in. The wolf had the most beautiful eyes, similar to mine. The wolf's eyes were a golden color that simmered with green. I was memorized by its eyes, and stepped towards the massive wolf. I was intrigued, and felt a sudden urgency to become closer to this beast.

All my fears went away as I walked towards the wolf, staring into the wolf's comforting eyes. As I moved closer I realized how beautiful this wolf was. The fur was a blonde, reddish color. I could see a little tint of brown also. The wolf sat down watching my moves closely, as if he was studying me. I kneel down by the wolf's head. I lifted my hand, and touch the wolf's soft fur. I smiled, and giggled a little when the wolf lifted his paw into my other hand. I held his big paw, and wrapped my other hand on the top of his paw. He led closer, and licked my cheek. I laughed, as he removed his paw. He stepped back into the darkness. I yelled at him.

"Wait" I started to run back into the darkness. I stopped right before the edge, and felt a presence behind me. I turned around, and saw a man standing in front of me. I could still smell the wolf, but the man smelled the same. He stepped closer to me, allowing me to see him better. His eyes were the same as the wolf's eyes. I was mesmerized by the simmering green, gold color of his eyes. He's hair a messy blonde, reddish, brown. He was masculine, and big. He stepped again closer to me, and tilted his head at me.

A smile started tingling on his lips.

I felt I knew this man all my life. A sudden strong feeling came through me. Mine. I thought. I closed the gap between us. This man was the same wolf I saw earlier. He stood still next to me which drove me crazy. I was so close to him I could feel his breath on my skin. I lifted my hand up, hesitating a little. He grabbed my hand sending a sensation all over my skin. I could not explain the feeling. The strongest emotion ever bonded us. He leaned down, and I felt his soft lips touch mine. I quickly pushed to deepen the kiss. I was losing control quickly. He broke the kiss, and smiled. He let go of me completely, and started walking back into the darkness. I ran up to him quickly, and grabbed his arm. He turned back facing me, and look at me with surprise. He touched my cheek with his other hand, and gently whispered.

"Soon Anna, Soon" He then kissed my forehead, and disappeared into the darkness. I was all alone, and the darkness took me within it.

My eyes opened to a buzzing alarm in my ear. I turn around and grabbed my cell phone turning the alarm off. My phone immediately beeped after I turned the alarm off bringing to my attention I had a text message. I slide the bar over, and pressed onto the message.

Jeremy:

Good Morning Beautiful!

I responded with a smiley face. Jeremy is my boyfriend, but I will admit that we have been off, and on during the years. I knew him for six years, and he was truly my best friend. I almost forgot that he was going to pick me up today for school. I glanced at the time, and noticed I'm running a little behind. I jump into my much needed shower. For the past couple of weeks I been sweating like crazy, but nothing extra deodorant, and some perfume can't fix. I quickly slipped on some blue jean shorts on, and very county like shirt that was red. I blow dry my long dark black hair. I combed out the tangles, and parted it on the side. I grabbed my shoes, and my back pack on my way down stairs. I could smell the bacon, and my mouth was watering.

"Hi, Auntie." I greeted my aunt, and gave her a hug while stealing a piece of bacon from her plate.

"Hey!" She yelled sliding her plate away from me. "You know Anna; there is bacon for you on the stove."

I grabbed a plate from the cabinet, grabbing some bacon, and eggs.

"I know, but it taste better when I steal it from you." I informed her with a slight grin. She shook her head, and stood up to rinse her plate. My Aunt was a beautiful woman. She had long black hair also, a little on the shorter side. I loved her to death through, my parents died in an accident when I was a baby. My Aunt has taken care of me ever since. She turned around after putting her plate in the dish washer, and lean on the counter. She had the biggest smile, and I just noticed she was dressed up, I mean she always looks nice. Today through her outfit was to impress. Her jeans where firm fitting, and a button up shirt. I tilted my head in curiosity. I pointed at her with a piece of bacon.

"What's up with you today?" I asked while stuffing bacon in my mouth.

"Well, your Uncle James called." That explains a lot. My uncle James is from my father's side of the family. My aunt has always had a crush on him. The dated on and off in the past. My Aunt is my Mother's sister. They actually are twins, and it's kind of nice because it's like having my mom around when she really isn't. I nodded my head edging her to continue.

"Well, he's coming over to visit. Also, Anna I would really like you to be home this afternoon. He also wants to talk to you." She walked over, and grabbed my empty plate.

"Ok, I'll be home after school. I love you." I kissed her on the cheek, and grabbed my back pack swinging it over my shoulder. I heard Jeremy's car pull up.

"I love you too." She yelled as I open the door, and walked outside.

A fancy black car stood in my driveway. I'm not a big car person, but anyone could tell it was a expensive car. Jeremy did have a wealthy family. I never meant his family, and he seemed to live alone. He says his parents are always gone on business trips, and such. I slide into the front passenger seat catching Jeremy's award winning smile.

"Hey babe." He leaned in, and softly kissed my cheek. He immediately lend back with a confused look on his face.

"Babe you're burning up." I feel my head, and I feel normal. I shrugged my shoulders.

"I feel fine Jeremey. Let's go." He nodded, and pulled out of the drive way.

We arrived at school, and Jeremy parked his car. He got out, and was at my side in a instant. He throws his arm around my shoulders, and walked with me into the school entrance. I dropped my notebook, and bend down to grab it. Right when I grabbed my notebook a sudden chill with through my body. It wasn't like a chill, but more like electric going through my body. I turned, and looked around. I could smell this wonderful scent in the wind, and something was pulling me to turn around. "Babe?" Jeremy pulled me out of my trance, and I shake my head.

"Jeremy, you go ahead. I decided that I'm not feeling good after all. I'm going to go to the office, and call my Aunt. Can you text me later?" He lends in towards me with a concern look in his eyes. He nodded he's head yes.

"Ok, I will talk to you later. Feel better" He lightly brushed his lips onto mine, and walked into the building. I had no intention of going to the office. I waited into Jeremy was out of sight. I turned around, and closed my eyes concentrating on the smell. I stood there for a minute, or two. I was about to give up when I smelled the same smell. It was like a drug, and I had to find the source. My legs started to take a path of their own leading me closer to the smell. I was walking straight across the football field towards the woods the out skirt on school. I could tell the scent was getting stronger. I kept walking until I hit the edge to the woods. I knew it was close, and the electricity in my body was getting unbearable. I stepped into the woods, and kept a straight path. I turned after hearing some limbs from the trees break.

"Who is there?" I asked feeling another presence nearby. I was not scared, but excited in a way. I look through the trees, and catch a sight of a tail. Not just a tail, a wolf's tail. I took a stepped back feeling startled, but not scared. I felt drawn to this wolf; I was supposed to be here. I throw my back pack down on the ground. Holding my breath, as I stepped towards the area I had seen the wolf's tail. My heart starts beating rapidly, and my hand's start to shake.
