Chapter One...

My ears twitched slightly under my black newsboy hat as I wandered through the crowded streets. This is why most hybrids steer away from crowds, seeing how our senses of hearing and sight are sharper then norms and the noise is overwhelming for some. My tail was hidden in the bulky black and purple coat that Leigh made for me. My stomach growled and I cursed under my breath. Going hungry wasn't uncommon for me and the others, though it did suck. I slipped into an alley that had a fruit stand by it and I carefully took a peach off and walked off, slipping into the alley. I tossed up the fruit and caught it with a smirk.

"Heh, Nat's probably will hate me for this." I sat on a crate and took a bite of peach, savoring the sweetness.

"Hey pretty thing." I looked to see a group of boys eying me as I sat eating.

"Can I help you?" The leader smirked darkly.

"Well, you may be able to help." He tried to grab my arm but I moved away.

"Leave me alone."

"Aw, why are you pulling away from us, Hottie?" The one on the left smirked. I could see lust in their eyes.

"Leave me alone!" I growled. I hopped off the crate and dashed away, abandoning the half eaten peach on the ground. I heard their heavy footsteps behind me. I was cursing everything under the sun as I dashed away from the men. I held on to my hat as I sharply turned and tripped.

"Ow." I groaned. I turned back to see them gaining. I quickly got up and dashed farther away when I was grabbed from behind.

"Let me go!" I yelled. The boys laughed at my vain attempts to get away.

"Aw, but we only want to play with you, pretty little thing." I growled as I kicked one in the shin and twisted my body so the two crushed into one another. I snickered as I started to dash deeper into the alley only to run into someone else.

"Hey watch it!" He growled. I looked up to see a boy with firetruck red hair and steel gray eyes. His eyes widened and it took me a moment to realize what had happened. My hat had fallen off, exposing my ears.

"Shit." I cursed under my breath as I snatched my hat and ran away.

'Nat would kill me if he found out what happened.' I thought as I ran.

"Hey wait!" I scaled up a wall and jumped on a roof and paused to catch my breath.

"Shesh, those guys didn't understand the meaning of no." I muttered as I was hopped from the roof I was standing on to the one of the building next to it.

"Hey wait!" I turned to see the boy that I crashed into climbing up,

"What?" He stood up and I will admit that he was a good few inches taller then me.

"Are you a hybrid?" I bit my lip, Nathaniel's warning echoing in my head.

'Never under any circumstance reveal your ears or tail. If anyone did find out, there's no guarantee that they will be trustworthy.'

"How do I know you won't tell anyone what you've seen." He shrugged.

"Well considering that I just beat up those guys that were chasing you." I adjusted my hat to make sure it was still covering my ears.

"Thanks, but I can take care of myself." He lifted an eyebrow.

"Funny, cause from what I saw, though guys were intending on doing things." It was my turn to lift an eyebrow.

"Did you not see me kick one in the shin?" He shrugged.

"Whatever, I got to go." I turned and started to walk off when he told me to wait for the third time.

"What?" I asked sharply, glancing over my shoulder.

"Do you have a name?" He smirked and I growled.

"Lexus. My name is Lexus." He hummed.

"Castiel." I smirked.

"Yea, well later Castiel." I said hopping off the roof and disappearing into the crowds on the street.
