I hear them getting closer
Their howls are sending chills down my spine
And time is running out now,
They're coming down the hills from behind

Stella POV

I had to get out of here so I began to walk home through the woods. I'll move again. They came to me once and I beat them but now that I knew the werewolves were real I had to leave before catastrophe strikes again. I walked faster and faster until I smell the very familiar scent. It was Joaquim, my older brother.

"Missed me?" He said grinning. Though his lips were pulled into a smile they weren't sincere.

"Not as much as fighting," I said avoiding his gaze.

"Why don't you look at me sis?" he ran to where I was. With his hand he pushed my chin up to meet his grave eyes. "Why were you crying?"

"None of your business," I said and my voice was stronger than I thought.

"Ooh, scary," he mocked me.

"Save it Joaquim. What do you want?" It was a silly question I knew what he wanted. He wanted to take me back to his home. I knew this would eventually turn into a fight.

"Aww, you're not going to call me Joey, Stell?" he asked innocently but he was only stalling for his own stake.

"Why should I? I haven't seen you in years," I said honestly.

"And I came back," he said. He might be my brother but we weren't anything I alike. For one he liked power. It's why he stayed and why I left. He had gray eyes that could kill. He was wearing the infamous red velvet cloak I had once been forced to wear for part of my life. His skin was icy white, almost transparent. But one didn't mistake his skin as a sign of weakness because it was just as strong as mine. He was healthy and it meant he was almost stronger than me but strength is nothing when you don't know how to fight well.

"I came back for you," he whispered. "Everyone wants you how can you let it pass by you?" I could smell the others. "I'm coming in peace."

"Then why did you bring the rest?"

He growled and I ducked down and came from behind him and before he touched a hand on me I kicked him into a massive boulder. Seven newborns were in front of me with icy white skin and piercing red eyes ready to do what they were told to. I lunged into one of them and caught him by surprise. It gave me time to bite his head off. He was done with now I had to fight off 6 more.

I quickly got a match from my pocket and lit it up and let the newborn vampire. I could hear one of them coming from behind and as he got close in seconds I turned around grabbed him by the arms and slammed him into the fire. Five more were left. I slammed two more into trees that shook and fell. Then I got one and ripped his arms and head and threw him in the fire along with the other two. I punched and kicked the others for a while until I got tired. I threw them all into trees and against the ground and one by one I threw them into the fire headless.

"They were right weren't they?" Joaquim chimed in at the end.

I walked fast towards him and pushed him against one of the still standing tree. I was sweaty and my hair was all over my face. I was dirty and tired.

I traveled my mind to his, LEAVE ME ALONE! DO NOT TELL ARO ABOUT THIS! DO NOT TELL ANYONE ABOUT THIS! YOU CAN GO BACK BUT YOU MUST NOT TELL ANYONE AT ALL!

"So that's how you do it? How no one knows where you are," he said. "That's why he wants you so badly?"

"LEAVE!" I demanded him.

There was a reason I didn't kill him that night. He might be the worst person you could ever meet but he was still my brother. How can one kill their own kin? It was something I went against. I could kill vampires but I refused to kill anything else.

I suddenly smelled wolves and I ran as fast as I could to get away from them.

"Jay, Jay, Jay," I shook him out of bed. "Get up we have to move."

"What happened?" He said as he rubbed his eyes open.

"They're werewolves Jay," I said getting his clothes out of the closet. "Jacob, Embry, Leah, even Seth."

"What," he said still sleepy, "That would mean the stories are true."

"Yes," I said. "They're true I thought I told you once those myths are one of many views of the truth."

"What did you do?" He asked. "I mean why can't we leave tomorrow?"

"I'll tell you later. Just pack things up," I ordered him.

"Did they come for you?" He didn't have to say who it was. I've told him about my supernatural family and who I really am. I nodded and ran to my room to pack things up.

I got a few boxes from my closet and began putting my books, albums, CD's, and movies. The next box was for the food I walked out of my room to the kitchen. I grabbed all the can food, cereal boxes, sodas, milk, water bottles, and the few salty chip bags we had lying around. "Jay, get my clothes," I yelled from the kitchen, "Get dressed and we're out of here."

This was the million time we've done this. We've had to move for various reasons and it was always the same reasons: Jay or I behaving badly in school, people's death because of me, or the possibility of getting caught. I always felt it was my fault for this. If I had one wish I would ask to give Jay a stable life he would love. I had pressure on me from his father.

When I went to visit he said to take care of him. He risked taking that chance knowing I was half vampire. It was ten thousand pounds of responsibility I agreed to take. Jay didn't have anyone else to take him in. His father was an orphan and so was Jay and I. I wished it didn't have to be that way. Jay deserved a better life for him, he deserved to be with a loving family away from the horrors of my world.

"Jay," called out. "If you want go back to bed. We'll leave tomorrow."

It was raining my scent would be gone and the wolves wouldn't be able to follow me anymore. Who knew I could so grateful for rain.
