Summary: while exploring the woods of Stonehaven, Jamie meets a ghost that's extremely homicidal.

Pairings: Jamie/Jeremy

It's not often that I walk through the forest behind Stonehaven. Mostly because Jeremy has put a ban on wandering in there for guests depending on how the rest of the Pack are dealing. After all sometimes wolf instinct takes over the human mind while they're in their wolf forms and no one wants to kill us.

Apart from maybe Clay but he's getting used to us coming in and out all the time. Though he'll probably be less tolerant of me, after all I am a bit of a flake and sleeping with his adoptive father.

Yeah it'll probably be a few decades before Clay becomes tolerant.

So anyway, strangely enough Jeremy had given me the all go in exploring the forest to find a peaceful place to meditate in. he assured me that no one is due for a change for another couple days and he'll track me down if I got lost. I have no doubts that Jeremy will find me, not only does he have super smell and super hearing but he has extra psychic senses. I really am in the best hands.

I halted to stop when I noticed a glow. The ghostly glow of a ghost hovering between the branches of the many trees. I rarely spoke to the ghosts and I never seen any in Stonehaven, so my curiosity overruled my usual policy towards ghosts.

"Hello?" I called edging closer to the glow.

He turned to face me. He was middle-aged and rough round the edges. Unshaven for a few days, clothes ragged and pupils slightly red. Died as drunken man it seems. Something about him was very similar to Jeremy. Not in the way he held himself or character but in his appearance. He must have been a relative.

He stared at me with narrowed eyes. Assessing me and glaring at me, I was beginning to feel a little unnerved as I swallowed hard and clenched my hands tightly. My palms were already sweating.

"I'm Jamie, is there anything I can do to help you? Maybe pass a message on or something?" I said cheerfully as possible. "It must be a bit of a shock to find you're dead and I know that there's always something unfinished in l-"

"You're a woman" he interrupted coldly. "A woman who is not a werewolf"

"Well yes but I'm a necromancer and I can contact the dead. It's not as exciting as a werewolf or as us-"

"You're Jeremy's girl" he interrupted again. "His little whore"

There was something in his tone that frightened me. I've heard the others use it before they went to hunt the latest Mutt or bad guy. Predatory and hungry. I also felt anger bubbling up in my stomach. I was no whore, no matter what people thought of me. And I was definitely no whore to Jeremy just a long-distance girlfriend who tries to visit as often as she can.

Before I could open my mouth to say something. Anything. The ghost leaped at me and suddenly I was pinned down by some ghostly wolf as it snarled and nipped at me.

It felt so real. I could almost smell the foul breath of an alcoholic mixed with blood and flesh of his previous victims. I could feel the sharp claws digging into my shoulders and I can hear him clearly growling. Preparing to bite down and make me a wolf just like him.

The last time I had ghosts like this were little children desperate to escape their prison and Natasha a vampire determined to save her lover. This man was neither and he was terrifying.

I screamed.

A woman with dark hair and a sword appeared. Eve it had to be Eve. She struck the wolf causing him to leap back; there was something in his eyes. Fear, recognition and something else that I couldn't put my finger on but it was all aimed at her.

I looked up and was surprised to see it wasn't Eve. It was a beautiful Asian woman dressed in a simple white dress and she looked at the wolf with such hatred that I shivered.

She spoke in a strange language her own language I guess before she spoke in English. "This is justice for every crime of yours starting with my own murder" she then stabbed the wolf and I stared in wide eyed horror as the ghostly wolf shattered beneath her blade. She turned and looked at me with pleading dark eyes. "He's coming for you"

"Jamie? Jamie where are you?"

I let out a long sigh of relief. Jeremy. He's found me. It's over, I'm safe.

"Jamie?"

"I'm here" I called; my throat was dry and sore from the scream before. "Jeremy..."

There was a rustling sound as Jeremy pushed through some branches. His shoulders were tense, eyes were darker than normal and his nostrils were flared. I had a feeling he could smell my blood from somewhere. Probably where the ghost wolf had dug his claws in. without even a word he had bent down and scooped me up into his arms.

My arms went around his neck immediately and I breathed into his scent. I was already beginning to feel calm and relaxed as I felt him nuzzle my hair briefly before pulling away to look at me.

"What happened?"

"Ghost" I murmured feeling drained.

"Did Eve save you?" he asked looking round for some sort of sign that Eve was here.

I shook my head. "Someone else..."

"Who?"

I looked up at he beautiful Asian woman who was still there. She was staring at Jeremy with so much love it almost burns. It was the same look that Elena had reserved for Logan and Kate only. A love that my own mother never held in her eyes and therefore I was always deprived from. Her little petite hand reached out just to stroke Jeremy's hair and the most hurtful look took over when her hand fell through.

"Your mother" I whispered before allowing darkness take over.
