Running a hand through my hair I counted to three, before bolting out of the room as the last bell for lunch went. I walked down the hall and met up with Payton, a human girl who was now my best friend. I was fond of her, but I couldn't see us keeping touch after high school. I didn't even go to high school when I was in the pack. "Hey," I said as she stopped at my locker, like every other time the bell went.

"You look tired," I nodded slight, she didn't know who I really was, she saw the tamed side of me. The human part of me. I missed the wolf in me, but it was gone, buried so deep, I couldn't shift my eyes anymore, even my moon cycles weren't helping. It was lost in a stormy abyss that was never ending. I would miss her, and everyone else along with it. The only thing the moon brought now was munchies, and normally for something dripping with blood.

"Why don't we skip?" she suggested, "go to your place, do our cooking thing, like we used to do." She smiled hopefully, and I knew why she came over so much. It got her away from the clichés of high school and her over rated and protective family. I lived on my own, I had a roommate every now and then, but the full time job outside of school was keeping the place intact and alive.

"Sure," I said a little relieved, I knew I was going to be miserable in school today, why I decided to go I couldn't fathom. I was feeling distracted, like something was about to happen, an afternoon of fun would definitely help me relax.

We took my car and she babbled on about her older brothers latest girlfriend. I pretended I was paying attention but the feeling of paranoia kept seeping into me, I t had me looking over my shoulder.

I unlocked my door saying, "what do you think, mac and cheese or delivery?"

She didn't respond, I closed the door and turned to her worried. She was staring open mouthed around the room. I turned and felt my breath catch. My apartment was a mess, it had been torn apart, and the reason was standing right in front of me.

Two Supernatural's were here, I dropped my bag and stared at them hard and angry. The man was leaning against the wall, and the girl was going through my computer. "You have quite the interesting collection of books," the girl said. I glanced around, really taking in the damage. Books were open and strewn all of over the place. It was my private collection, the ones humans weren't supposed to get into.

"Who are you?" Payton asked, I could tell she was frightened, but not nearly as much as I was. She thought they were human, I knew they weren't, and I couldn't defend either of us anymore. I couldn't shift, I had human senses, reflexes, strength, I was useless in a fight if these two were one of the original clans.

"Old friends," the girl said standing up. That's when it hit me, I recognized that voice, and now I had a name and face to match it.

"Paulis and Christa," I said coldly, technopathic twins. They could cause a lot of damage separately, together it was a disaster. The ability to control technology and electricity was a new one, and also one of the strongest. "What are you here?" I asked in an icy voice.

In the corner of my eye I saw Payton shiver and turn to me nervously. As if she didn't know who the dangerous one was anymore. I wouldn't be able to shift or fight both of them, but they didn't know that, I could use that to my advantage.

"Hits out on the Arizona pack, the grand prize is the power," Christa said, "been hearing some whispers that the little darkling has been hiding it."

"I don't have it, now leave," I said coldly.

Then Christa said something I didn't expect, "Aren't you even the slightest curious as to why you and your pack of dogs can't shift anymore?"

Crap, they did know. My eyes narrowed, and I was getting just a little more and more angry with the situation. "You did this."

She smiled as if she a child on Christmas morning, "not me, but a witch nice enough to the hit out on you and your mutts did."

"Get out of my home," I said even colder then before.

"When your dead," Paulis said and lunged at me knife in hand. I quickly side stepped, and threw open the door. I grabbed Payton's arm and started running down the hall.

"Who are those people?" she practically screamed.

I didn't have time for this, not now. "I can tell you who there not, friends," I said and started running down the stairs as fast as I could. I would've taken the elevator but that would end up in killing me. They could just drop me nine floors by pressing there hand to the wall.

"Where are we going?" she asked, barely breathing as we got to the ground floor. I threw open the door and started towards the car. "Get in," I said when she didn't listen, I pushed her in and slammed the door shut. I had no time for her acting like a fussy child.

I drove quickly, ignoring her pleading as she begged me to drop her off or slow down. I ran a bunch of red lights, managed to avoid cops and dropped her off fifteen blocks away. As she got out, I said, "go home Payton. You don't know me, you've never seen me or heard of me." For her sake, I hoped she listened.

I didn't know where I would go, who I could go to. Everything was falling apart again, just like before, only this time I was alone. I stared down the road, and got onto the highway. I could find the other, I knew I could. It would take a while to find them all, years even, but I could find the ones alive. I flipped through my memories, looking for something that would brighten my mood somehow.

Four years ago-

The fire was bright and everyone was drinking and laughing and having a good time. I got myself a beer and found my way to my sister Bella. "Hey Bell," I said sitting down next to her. She gave me a bright smile, Bella was like my mom in many ways. Our parents died in the last pack war, most of that died in the clan war. That's when we took over. The oldest and most experienced was Tyler, he took over when dad died, the position automatically went to him anyways. Son of the Alpha, also our brother.

"Good evening sis," she said as we waved at Joshua simultaneously. We always did it to anger him, he had good self control, but anyone would hate when someone rubbed it in that they couldn't be pack leader. He wanted to be alpha, but the elders along with myself and a few others saw the darkness in him. It's why I doubted I'd ever be pack leader, even though I'm next in line for alpha. There's always one or two wolves that are darkling's, Joshua and I were the only two alive. Darkling's were killed off quickly, normally because they liked fighting and were adrenaline junkies. What they forget is that we aren't infallible, we can be killed.

The music was loud and everything was great. Someone lifted me up from behind and spun me around, dropping my beer in the process. "Ty! Put me down," I said laughing as he wrapped his arms around me.

"Come on Luna, loosen up, your always hiding out, by the way, a few of the guys have been talking about you quite a bit lately," he said giving me a pointed look that I ignored, "anything you want to share sister?"

"Not at all," I said faking innocence. He rolled his eyes and patted my head, I hated when adults did that.

Werewolves were very sexual, especially after a shift or hunt. Then your just really exhausted and tired. I glanced around the fire, seeing certain people who had caught my eye before. Leaving me more then a little interested, I wasn't expecting to be mated. Only certain people got to be mated, people who managed to hold onto there souls after their first shift. Bella and her mate Toby were, it was a big honor, but it didn't come as a surprise that she still had her soul.

I came back out of my short reverie and then thought, what the hell am I doing? How was I going to find them? I couldn't even change my eyes, let alone track someone. What if there all dead? Searching for the rest of the pack was pointless, I had no power, I had no way of helping them. All I could was warn them, and I don't even know who is and isn't alive. What if one of the people I did find had turned their back on the pack and decided to go against us? I'd be walking straight into a death trap.

I sighed heavily and turned up the volume on my CD as I continue down the highway. I had enough money saved up to get my own place. Plus the pack had millions of dollars in the account just waiting for someone to use. Everyone in the had access to the account, it was for us after all.

I would relocate and start new again. But where? I drove into the next city and took out as much money as I thought I should and started driving again. I should go somewhere no one would expect me to go, the most obvious place I would go is the last place anyone would expect me to go to. I loved rain, everyone knew that, witches, vampires, the elders, it was common knowledge on me. Everyone knew everything about certain people, especially the Darkling's and hybrids, or in my case, both.

Since I loved rain, trackers, hunters, hit man, they would never expect me to stay somewhere that was exactly where I would want to be. Somewhere rainy, nice and rainy. By the lake, or ocean, because I loved swimming as much as being able to shift, everyone knew this also. The woods, and a small town, with interesting culture and history. No one would expect me to go somewhere I could be found out, and what I could shift easily. Though whether or not I could shift didn't matter seeing as I lost my gift.

They'd all expect me to be in the city, which is exactly where they found me. They'd all look for me in an even bigger city with a common alias. I'm not going to use a common alias, I'll use my real first name and my old last name. Luna Aleera Kale. So I have a new name, I have a general idea of what I'm going, and money to go wherever the hell I wanted to go.
