Out of this nettle, danger, we pluck this flower, safety.

–King Henry IV

"Your kidding?" I said to them both. They were running from two of the most dangerous creatures on the planet.

Athena shook her head in response.

"Why?" I asked them.

Tristan answered," Athena and I are from the Alberta tribe. Our families our packs of wolves dedicated to fighting Vampires. Killing them actually. Henry was of our tribe. He's the vampire you attacked earlier. But up until about two years ago. He was just human like me. Henry, Athena and I have been best friends since childhood. Athena and Henry have been together since middle school. ..and when he died she thought him lost forever until he appeared last year as a vampire. Our families were outraged and wished him dead. Athena wouldn't allow it and so we ran away and here we are."

This was a lot of information to process at once. Henry was a vampire. Athena and Tristan are from a wolf tribe. Henry is Athena's boyfriend?

"So your pack wants to kill you? "

"Our families believe us to be traitors," Athena said in response.

"Why does a vampire clan want to kill you?"

Athena looked down and Tristan looked up as if not paying attention.

"Well..?" I pushed.

"Athena is a werewolf just like you. I of course am not.. Which pretty much sucks.. but anyways Henry and her plan to.. marry," Tristan mumbled.

This was incredible. Is fate playing with my life here. My imprint was in love with a vampire as well? And wait what does that have to do with a clan of vampires trying to kill them…

"No!" I yelled aloud jumping up.

Athena looked up at me with a perplexed expression on her face.

"They want to kill you because If Henry turns Athena she will be half vampire half wolf. Which would make her the most powerful creature existing!!"

By the looks on their faces I seemed to have been right. This couldn't be. I won't allow Athena to be turned into a walking cold statue.

I was quivering all over, if I didn't control my anger I would phase.

"We need to go," I heard the familiar blood suckers voice behind me.

Athena and Tristan stood up together looking frightened.

"They've found us," Athena stated.

I turned to see the leech named Henry nodding and staring at me furiously.

"He's not one of them Henry," Tristan informed him.

"Very well. We need to think of a safe place to run fast."

I looked at the parasite coldly. "I know the place," I stated.

"I'll carry Tristan,"Henry said.

I nodded to Henry in agreement then looked at Athena.

She was trembling.. and then she phased into a white wolf with a long line of black fur down her back.

Even in wolf form she was magnificent.

I phased and led them to safety.

To my home.
