The man didn't move when I hugged him. His eyes were locked on the wolf that now had one paw tucked into its body keeping it off of the ground, like it was protecting it from being harmed again.

"Leave!" the man yelled at the wolf, his voice booming, then it softened to a whisper, "Are you ok?"

He turned around quickly and my heart raced as a saw his unusually colored eyes. They were blood red and had a ring of black around them. His lips had two piercings, one on the left, and one on the right, AKA snake bites. He also had silver gauges in his ears and a silver ball piercing threw his left eyebrow.

He was simply gorgeous! Even his hair was amazing. It was black with red streaks showing threw every now and then.

I looked over the rest of his body, we was in all black and his pants hugged his legs tightly and his shirt was tight as well, showing his rippling muscles underneath its fabric and to top off his look was a simple red tie, loosely tied around his neck.

"I'm so sorry…I didn't…" my heart dropped as I took in all of this, he wasn't Damon.

In my silence he realized the rest of my sentence, "Its fine. I'm just happy I could help before you got seriously hurt! You must be new…everyone else knows that this town is known for its wolves."

I nodded feeling like an idiot and asked, "Are you ok?"

"Yes, I am thank you. I'm Talon, who are you?" he asked quietly.

I smiled and said, "You'll have to find out on your own."

He smirked and laughed, "Well I just saved your life…so I believe you owe me at least your name."

I smirked back and kissed him lightly on the cheek and said, "My name is…" I couldn't finish my sentence because my body had slipped into unconsciousness.

My last conscience memory was falling into Talon's arms, my warm blood running down from the wound in my wrist onto his black outfit…~

~"You fool!" a man yelled harshly. "You know better than to have a party on a full moon's night! She could've been killed!"

"I know, I know," A man said softly in a saddened voice.

I cracked open my eyes and blinked a few times to clear the haze to see a blood spattered Garret, a grim looking Skilor and Tilor, a pissed Nathan and an equally pissed Nicholas.

I searched around the blank room for other people, but no one was to be found. The room was a simple white with no decorations whatsoever, only a simple white leather couch, which Skilor and Tilor were sitting on, and a white leather armchair to match. I guessed I was on the loveseat of the set.

"I couldn't help myself, you know how we get and she's gorgeous!" Garret said defensively.

"Still you put her life at risk! You put everyone at this party's life at risk!" Nicholas yelled back, but louder.

"You wolves are all the same!" Nathan yelled just as loud as his brother had.

My heart started racing as a growl escaped from Tilor's lips.

'Wolves? Are they their pets or something? …no they're the wolves…no they must be kidding me…'

"Her heart rate has sped up," Skilor stated plainly.

I quickly shut my eyes and tried to slow my breathing as Nicholas walked over and sat by my stomach and started stroking my hair. I felt better with him so close. I knew he wouldn't hurt me.

"I think that he found her…do you know what would happen if he became interested in her!" Nathan yelled and walked over to me as well and sat at my feet.

"…You all are stupid! You may have infected her!" Nicholas yelled and his muscles tightened at the thought of this.

Everyone's bodies responded to Nicholas' tensing…everyone could feel it…a fight would be breaking out soon.

"You're no better than us!" Garret yelled breaking the silence but making the tension greater, "You know you would've bitten her if you'd of gotten the chance! You vampire freaks!"

My heart skipped a beat at the word vampire and then it skipped again, or maybe it even stopped, when a slap rang throughout the air.

"How dare you compare us, classy vampires, to you scum bags!" A new and more threatening voice yelled. "Bow down!"

I opened my eyes a bit again to see all of the 'wolves' kneeling and Nathan and Nicholas had their heads bowed, not wanting to move away from me to kneel.

"Sir…" Garret said but was cut off, "…Who's the girl!" The new man yelled with a new tone of anger in his voice.

"Sir Alex, she is human...for now…Stupid here," Nathan pointed to Garret then continued, "Attacked her and she was found on the front porch with the Rider's Cross on her wrist…it was clearly a threat to Nicholas and me."

The new man, Alex, growled then started yelling again, "You fools! You stupid idiots! You better fix this all by the next full moon or I'll step in and kill you all! We will not lose another innocent to them!"

With that last threat made clear Alex morphed from a gorgeous guy with black hair and bright blue eyes that was wearing black pants and a red shirt into a black wolf with pitch black eyes. A chill went down my spine as the bleak eyes looked me up and down.

There was something about Alex though that made me attracted to him, like magnets would be.

After the black wolf left and the boys stopped yelling at each other, I shut my eyes and went back to unconsciousness. ~

"Wake up…" a familiar male voice called to me, "Wakey! Wakey!"

I opened my eyes to see a smiling Nathan and Nicholas.

"Hi," I replied smiling.

'That was a weird dream…'

I looked down at my wrist where the bite marks would be and saw a hot pink bandage neatly wrapped around the wound. It had a few red spots from where the blood had soaked threw, but other than that the bandages looked new, like someone had just changed them.

As I examined my wrist more closely a white hot pain went through it. I wince slightly and to my surprise the guys picked up on it. Both of the guys moved forward towards me and Nathan asked, "You ok?"

I looked around and realized that I was in a guy's room. There were pictures of girls on the walls. All of them were completely dressed though, in the same dark and long button up jackets. I was looking around the darkly lit room and was spacing out when Nathan asked again, "Are you ok?"

I shook my head this time coming out of the trance and replied, "Ya, but where am I?"

Nicholas smiled at me and replied, "You are in my room. We took you after you fell unconscious at the party when you were attacked by a wolf in the garden."

It all hit me. I had been attacked by a blonde wolf but before my end could be reached a stranger saved me, a gorgeous black haired stranger.

'What was his name again?'

"Where'd Talon go?" I asked as soon as the name came back to my memory. Both brothers' expressions changed from a happy one to a grim one filled with a dangerous look of worry. "What?"

Nathan and Nicholas looked at each other then at me. The new look that was on their face was slowly changing from panic stricken to a fake smile.

"Did you just say Talon?" Nathan asked.

I looked at them and decided a description might be a good idea, "Ya, you know black hair and snake bites?"

"Oh god…" Nicholas whispered. "You need to stay with us for awhile,"

"Why!" I yelled not able to fathom a possible reason to his madness.

"Talon…isn't a good guy," Nathan stately calmly.

"He saved my life! He seems good enough to me!" I yelled while trying to stand up.

"No, you don't understand. This is bigger than just what you think!" Nicholas yelled back at me and then glared at his brother for the too simple explanation of Talon.

"How do you know? I barely know you! Just leave me alone!" I yelled and walked out of the room.

I moved quickly down the hall until Nathan grabbed my wrist tightly.

"Please don't leave," He said softly. "We're just trying to help you."

"With what…I'm so confused…"

"Look there's things…rivalries in Sleepy hollow that you know nothing about yet," Nathan said while loosening his grip on me realizing that I wasn't going anywhere without an explanation.

"Please explain then because I'm obviously in the middle of something and I deserve to know!"

My anger was lowering a bit but my ideas about my latest dream with the vampires and werewolves were growing.

"Well there are two distinct family rivalries," Nathan said as we stopped in front of a glorious tapestry with four family crests painted delicately onto the silk material. "Mine," he pointed to the family crest that had a bat, "Is considered a 'vampire' crest. The wolf one," he pointed to another that had a wolf howling on it, "Is Garret's crest."

"Is that why he had all of those wolves in his house?" I asked.

Nathan nodded, "Yes, they're the guardians of his household. They're considered werewolves, and yes those legends about the vampires and werewolves are about us back in the old days but over time our family names got twisted into mythical creatures because our wars were so cruel and violent it was the only way to explain our irrational behavior towards each other…but really it all started with a woman."

'Like normal…'

I looked at the tapestry and ran my fingers down the other two crests. They were almost exactly the same, but complete opposites all at the same time. The one held a dove in a golden cage and the other was a crow standing over a battlefield on a fence. Both birds were in the same exact position, but their scenes were totally different.

One idealized war and the other idealized peace, which were the main to families Nathan was talking about?

"Hellian and Angelian," I read out loud.

"Yes, me and Garret's families hate each other and have been at the others throats for centuries but not even our hate combined toward each other is even close to the hatred and malice these families have towards each other." My mouth dropped open. "Their families have gone to the extremes to destroy the other, even if it means taking out others as well. Many disasters have happened because of them, like the bubonic plague."

"If they hate each other so much what does it have to do with me?" He ignored my question so I asked another, "What do they represent if you represent…vampires," I struggled with the word, "and Garret represents…werewolves," again I struggled with the mythical creature's name.

"You couldn't have guessed?" I shook my head. "Well the Hellian's are known for glorifying blood, war, and "demonic" acts, they're called Demonic Angels or the Messengers of Hell. The Angelian's are the complete opposite though. They glorify peace, love, and compromise but ignore the rules when it comes to the wellbeing of society. They're known as Angelic Angels or Heavens Messengers."

"Wow…" I stated through my trance at the tapestry.

"Ya, these families are very dangerous and powerful. They're used to getting what they want…and Talon is a part of that."

Nathan had no distinct emotion on his face but anger seemed to be radiating off his body. I stuck my finger up in the air, like how you see in cartoons when the character puts the puzzle together.

"Talon has had girlfriends before, but we never see them again after they leave us to be with him and his…friends." Nathan spat out the last words like it was poisonous to be lingering on his lips for more than a few moments. "The Hellian family is very…specific," he had to think of the word for a moment to make sure he picked the right one, "On what bloodline the girls come from."

I looked at him confused.

He smiled lightly and explained, "The Hellian's and Angelian's are very ancient races, some of the first to ever have existed. So you can imagine that most of us come from one of their bloodlines, but there is an odd chance of you falling in another category like Garret's family and mine. Well anyway if you're found to be Angelian…well you can figure it out from there."

I pondered for a moment then I was disgusted, "That's awful!"

"Yes, so do you understand now?"

"Yes…" I was going to say more, like how that was a long time ago and Talon obviously didn't care what bloodline you were but I was cut off by the sound of a window breaking.

"What the…" Nathan said as he ran off back to the bedroom where Nicholas had stayed.

I chased after him and burst through the doors to see a room in disaster.
