She could name a couple of reasons she should be quivering in fear. There was a werewolf standing in front of her snarling at her. There was a police cruiser scouring the area searching for her in the death of 3 hikers. Then there was the matter of a deranged vampire trying to find her and kill all of her acquaintances just because he was her "father". Yet she seemed just about as happy as a lark. Relief washed over her as she smiled at the snarling animal. As long as he was ok, she could face a none existent future. Just as long as he was left unharmed. The animal stopped growling and stared at her. She wasn't afraid. She wasn't angry. She was happy? He had known she was crazy but to laugh and smile in the face of an enemy who was just about to attack was insane. Didn't she know he could tear her to shreds with his fangs and not get a single scratch on him? His confusion caused a calm to sweep through him causing his transformation back into the human he was. Back into the man, she loved. He suddenly took three long strides and caught her up into his arms holding her there as she hugged him back. Only she could do this to him. Only she could make him this weak anymore. They both suddenly grew rigid as their happiness was short lived. Dark almost pitch black eyes appeared behind him and she growled from deep within her chest as the pale faced man lifted an aristocratic eyebrow at her hostility. He merely smirked before driving his hand forward in a swift motion and she eyes widened in pain as she took the blow for the man she loved. For the man she'd die for. "Annaliese!!" His voice broke through the cloud of pain and she smiled. "Jakeā¦I'm sorry."
