Rayne POV

The first thing I did when I got home was take a shower. I didn't mind that I was soaking wet with cold water because my body had I higher temperature. I just wanted to get the salty water off of me.

I towel dried my hair and put some sweatpants and a tank top on after my shower. Then, I plopped down on my bed and fell asleep almost instantly.

It was dark out. I was in front of my old house, when I was still living with my parents and my older brother.

I was walking up the lawn after a night of partying. My brother was with me earlier, but got hammered pretty quickly. He didn't want to leave me by myself because he was too overprotective and thought I was going to mugged or something if he left.

I couldn't convince him to leave, so I made sure to keep an eye on him. He was the older sibling by two years, but we had the same level of maturity, much to my parents' dismay.

We were really close and would never leave each others side unless there was something really important to do. We even worked at the same place on the same shifts. We were more like friends than siblings and we liked it that way.

When it was midnight we left the party and headed home. I drove even though I was only 14 because my brother was too hammered to drive and was already half asleep.

In my mind it was better for me to drive us home safely than have my brother get us killed. I only knew how to drive because he taught me in the first place.

When we got home I thought I saw something moving in the backyard, but didn't pay attention to it. I had already been a werewolf for a year or two and only my brother knew about it.

So, as we walked to the door I was supporting almost all his weight. When we got to the door I slid the key in to unlock it, but the door fell inward once the key touched it.

My strong sense of smell was bombarded with a sweet smell that was almost too sweet and was really strong. I also smelled blood, lots of it. Human blood.

I woke up screaming and covered in sweat. When I tried to get out of my bed I found I was tangled in the sheet and fell on the floor with a thud. I rubbed my head and looked at the clock to see it was already seven in the morning.

I struggled to untangle myself. When I finally succeeded I grabbed a pair of cargo shorts that went down to my knees with a black tank top along with the other necessities and headed for the bathroom. I shut the door and turned the water on as hot as it would go.

I stepped into the scolding water and scrubbed myself as if I was washing the nightmare away. I didn't have that dream in a long time. I could only guess that the rest would come back as well. I stood under the water for god knows how long until I realized the water was cold.

I stepped out and dried myself off, lost in my thoughts. I put on my clothes and brushed my hair.

I then went down stairs to eat breakfast and saw that it was almost nine. I felt my stomach rumble and proceeded to make a big enough meal to satisfy my hunger, which was a lot. After that I went back upstairs to brush my teeth.

I decided to bring a backpack and grabbed the one that I used every time I went out for a walk in the woods. It had seen better days, but I still liked it.

I grabbed a pair of sweats and a t-shirt just in case I ran into trouble. Even though I was sure I left them at the fake trail I made a while ago. I could only hope it had worked. I went downstairs and shoved a bottle of water in my pack as well.

The phone rang just as I put the backpack on. I checked the time and it said it was ten-thirty.

"Hello?" I said as I picked up the phone.

"Hey, Rayne, it's Kilik," said the voice on the other line.

"Okay, where are you now?"

"I'm at the school."

"Head towards La Push and I'm right on the border, the house is farther in the woods so all you'll be able to see is the driveway."

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

"Bye."

"Bye," he said and I hung up the phone.

After a few minutes the doorbell rang. I opened the door and saw Kilik standing outside in a pair of jeans and a baggy sweater.

"Hi, you ready?" I asked. I found myself smiling.

"Yep," he replied, lips popping on the 'p'.

"Okay, let's go."

Kilik POV

I could barely wait all night and the guys were starting to complain about it. Finally, I decided to leave for Rayne's house. I got in the car and headed down towards her house.

I was at the school when I remembered that I had to call her first for direction, though I didn't need them.

I took out my phone and dialed her number. I used my time last night to memorize it, and pressed the green button.

"Hello?" I heard her voice answer the phone.

"Hey, Rayne, it's Kilik," I said.

"Okay, where are you now?"

I'm at the school," I said even though I already passed it.

"Head towards La Push and I'm right on the border, the house is farther in the woods so all you'll be able to see is the driveway."

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

"Bye."

"Bye," I said then hung up the phone. I slipped it back in my jean pocket as I neared La Push.

I remembered Kris's warning. He's right. What if I couldn't mask my scent good enough and a werewolf found me? She could be hurt or worse, killed.

I pulled into her driveway and went as fast as I could down the winding gravel trail. I walked up to her door and rang the doorbell.

I waited as I heard her soft footsteps come towards the door. She opened the door and I couldn't hold back a smile when I saw her standing there.

Her pale skin had a lively glow instead of the dead color ours was. She had beautiful short black hair and stormy gray eyes.

"Hi, you ready?" she asked.

"Yep," I said, popping the 'p'.

"Okay, let's go."
