Authors Notes: Yes, nobody is supposed to like Victoria, she is meant to be one of the bad guys in this story of mine – I have two. But hey at least I've got people hating on Vicky now. Sorry to my cousin.

You Said You'd Find Me, But I Found You

Maddy

I look between Rhydian and Victoria, Rhydian walks closer to me and tries to take my hand, I lift my hand away from his and shake my head, he seems hurt by this, but I am too confused to care at this point, the way she had said what she said had made me not only feel sick but ad made me doubt what Rhydian said, because she made it sound like Rhydian was acting it out... I don't know, maybe he was... people change over time, and whats there to say that throughout those five years that I was gone and Victoria was in his life, whats there to say that he didn't change into some evil manipulative man.

"Maddy, don't listen to her, she's deluded, I would never-" Rhydian began, but he was cut off by the silent sobs from Victoria, I look over in her direction.

Rhydians wolf is beginning to come out fully, he's growling as she sniffles, and it gets worse as she lightly dabs her eyes with a tissue. "How could you say that Rhydian... I thought you loved me, we were supposed to be together forever... just like you said." She said, she smiles sweetly at me... It's strange, but I think nothing of it.

But Rhydians growling gets louder and more frequent, he closes in on Victoria, "You lying cow, tell her the truth Victoria! Tell her the truth!" Rydian demanded, his growling getting stronger and his teeth beginning to rot, he was transforming into a wolf.

"What, that we've been thinking about having cubs together? Or that we have been living together for, oh, who knows how long." She says, I know about him living with her but the cubs? He couldn't really have been talking about cubs with another wolfblood, could he? Why are they confusing me? This isn't fair, I've got Victoria telling me one thing and then Rhydian, and yet theres this feeling in the back of my mind that Victoria is dangerous, I want to believe it.

I'm trying to. But its hard when she seems so genuine.

But then there's Rhydian, the man I have loved for the five years that I had lost him, my heart broke even more everytime I dreamt of him... and that was every night.

"Maddy, she's lying, yes I do live with her but I would never even think about wanting to have cubs with her. Please, believe me Mads." He tells me, I look between the two of them, Victoria is continuing to cry silently and Rhydians getting angrier, he looks back at me and takes my hand, "Who do you believe Maddy? Me, or her?" he asks me sternly, I pull my hand away from him and back away from both of them.

"I don't know..." I say my voice breaks slightly and I choke back the tears I so desperatly want to release. Then I'm off again, running away from these people, I'm not sure if either of them are following me, but I don't see why Victoria would.

I hide in a hollow log and cover my ears, I don't want to hear if anyone is coming.

But then I hear her voice calling my name, "Oh, Maddy!" it makes me cringe how she says my name, I want to shout to her to leave me alone... she just told me that the one wolfblood who I've ever loved – apart from my mum and dad – was talking to her about cubs, "Maddy Smith... I know where your hiding." She sings, I hug my knee's to my chest and just wait.

She crouches down in front of me outside of the log and I can see her eyes have changed, "Go away." I tell her sniffling slightly.

"Awh, Maddy. You should've known, those long distance relationships never work out... Rhydian moved on... he moved on with me." She tells me in a soft voice, her words sting, like when you put salt in a cut, but her words don't heal me, they wound me.

"Leave me alone." I beg, she begins to change even more, I'm confused at this point.

"Poor little Maddy Smith, I don't think you understand, the jobs not done yet... yes I've hurt you, I've broken your silly little tame heart, but thats only the beginning, see now I have Rhydian, all I need to do is finish you off." She snarls, I begin to panic and start changing myself, but I'm too slow, by the time my veins start to turn black, she is already in wolf form, I scream terrified, I hope to God Rhydian heard.

I clench my eyes shut tight. He didn't hear, he's not coming back. She's going to kill me.

I wait patiently for the first scratch, blow, attack anything, just pain... I expect pain, but I'm filled with relief when I hear my mums voice snarling, "You stay away from my daughter!" I open my eyes, Victoria has gone. My mums glaring and growling at her, but she's being attacked whilst my mum growls. Slowly I crawl out of the log, I hope to see Rhydians wolf attacking Victoria... but I'm left slightly disappointed when I see Jana and my dad in wolf form attacking. He didn't come back. I'm wrapped in my mums tight embrace when I am finally out of the log, "Oh, pet. Did she hurt you?" she asks in concern. I shake my head, trying to smile, but inside I'm dead.

"How did you know she would do that?" I ask curious, my mum looks me over again being overprotective of me and hugs me again, she didn't answer my question, "Mum!" I shout slightly irritated how people don't answer my questions the first time I ask them.

My mum sighs, "Its probably best if Jana tells ya, pet." I look over at Jana, with my eyebrows raised, my dad is dealing with Victoria, and Jana takes a deep breath.

"Her pack hate tame wolfbloods. And since they believe you and your family are tame and made Rhydian tame, she was sent to put an end to that. Her father Lucas, is the enemy of our pack, he sends her to do his dirty work... in this case, kill you and bring Rhydian back to his pack so he could deal with Rhydian... wait... where is Rhydian?" she asks, I shrug and just walk back to my mum.

Why is it everyone thinks I'm tame... I AM NOT TAME! Well I'm not now anyway. I watch as Jana runs off, probably in search of Rhydian. Me, my dad and my mum all walk away... Victoria is long gone now, hopefully back to her pack. "Come on, lets go home." My dad says wrapping his arms around me and my mum. I look over my shoulder as we leave the forest... why didn't Rhydian come to help me? Does he love Victoria? Was he attacked?

Anyway, its over now. And all I want to do is go to bed.

Authors Notes: So yeah, Victoria is evil, her dad is a lot like Alric, but he is much crazier... Lucas was just a random name I thought of... I have no idea why. I hope Lucas' plot was easy to understand... maybe I should've ellaborated on it... oh well, tell me what you think.
