Chapter 10

Cyrus had been walking for God knows how long before he stopped and turned around.

"I know you are following me, no need to hide it," he stated through the trees. He waited a minute so the figure in the shadows had time to catch up to him. When she reached him he started walking again.

They walked in silence for a bit before the quiet made Leah uncomfortable.

"How did you become like this?" Leah asked finally without thinking.

"You want the real story?" he questioned as she nodded and Cyrus motioned to some rocks by the river and they took a seat.

"Bella doesn't think I remember anything about being human. She thinks that a hunter shot me on accident but it wasn't, the person who shot me was my father," he looked to the water below before tossing a pebble in it watching the ripples as they disturbed the water.

"Your dad shot you?" Leah questioned surprised and he just nodded.

"We never really got along much and we had an argument that morning, I ran out telling him he was a worthless drunk. I went to school and acted like nothing was wrong but when I got home what I saw pissed me off so bad. My mother was away on a business trip and wouldn't be home for a few days but when I got home my father was fucking some girl. I yelled at him and asked him how he could do this to our family. The smirk on his face told me everything as he kissed the woman's forehead before dressing to deal with me. He pushed me outside the house and pulled out a gun. I stepped back and I heard someone pull into the driveway, my sister jumped out of her car and ask my dad what the hell he was thinking.

I yelled at her to run as she started towards the forest. My father pulled the trigger and I jumped in the way of the bullet, he was aiming the gun at her. The bullet pierced my shoulder and I groaned lifting my hand to cover the wound.

'You little shit!' my father screamed as he pointed the gun at me and I bolted. By some miracle I made it to the forest and just kept running. My sister was up ahead of me making her way to the neighbor's house so I went the other way. I wouldn't let him take her away from me, she meant too much to me. He chased me for a good hour before I couldn't run anymore; I fell to my knees not being able to take another step. The shot rang in my ears and I closed my eyes and prayed for a quick end hoping my sister would be alright.

The bullet hit me in the back and I fell to the ground, everything after that is fuzzy. I just laid there for awhile waiting to die when Bella came.

'Hey!' she yelled running over to me. She took me into her arms and started saying how I was going to be alright and she would stay with me until it was all over.

'Please, I don't want to die.' I managed to whisper shakily moving my hand to her face. I remember the look on her face as she closed her eyes tightly and bit back a growl. Her eyes had been so black I didn't even think it was possible.

'I can't help you,' she whispered, 'I'm sorry."

My breaths were short as my vision started to go back.

'I can't go like this,' I remember whispering and as I felt something soft on my neck and then pain. My eyes shot open and I saw Bella pressed up against a nearby tree with a hand over her mouth panting, I saw the look in her eyes and she looked absolutely guilty for what had just happened.

Everything after that was pain until I woke up and she said that she was sorry for changing me then explained what she did. I couldn't be mad at her; she had done what I asked. We have been together ever since," Cyrus finished him tale and jumped to the ground and Leah just sat there. She couldn't believe that he had gone through that. A sob caught her attention and she was Cyrus's shoulders shaking.

"Hey," she whispered jumping down to stand behind him.

"Sorry," he said as Leah put her arms around his waist. She didn't know what possessed her to do it but she placed her head on his back and sighed.

"It's okay," she whispered as she felt him turn towards her placing his arms around her and his chin atop her head.

'This is so wrong,' Leah thought as she clung to him. If it was so wrong then why did it feel so right for her to be there in his arms?

"You know, I never got your name," Cyrus stated.

"Leah," was all she said as he sighed and leaned back onto a rock with her still in his arms.

"That's pretty," he said and she moved her head to look at him.

"Don't get use to this buddy! This is a onetime deal," Leah stated as a matter-of-factly.

"Doubt it," Cyrus laughed looking her in the eye. Bad idea. He felt himself lean forward and was about to kill her lips before he caught himself and gently kissed her forehead instead.

"Well looky what we got here," a voice laughed emerging from the forest. Cyrus growled and pushed Leah behind him.

"What do you want?" Cyrus bit out through clenched teeth.

"You," was the man's simple answer.

"Hate to breath it to ya dude but I don't swing that way," Cyrus stated as he felt Leah start shaking from behind him and she tried not to growl.

"Cyrus," Leah whispered trying to keep from transforming.

"Go," was all he said as she ran into the forest and he stepped forward, "so what do you really want with me?"

"Bella," came his reply and Cyrus got into a defensive position.

"You won't hurt her," he stated getting ready to pounce when suddenly he fell to the ground holding his head in pain, a small scream escaped his lips.

"Not a wise choice," the man laughed. A growl could be heard as Leah ran full force at the man knocking him over.

"Dameon, that's enough," another voice chimed in.

Cyrus knew that voice as they walked into the clearing.

"Teman?" Cyrus bit out as Leah ran to his side bopping him with her nose as he placed a hand on her head giving her a weak smile. Teman stepped forward and Leah jumped in front of Cyrus showing her teeth.

'Guys, if you can hear me we have a problem," Leah thought as Teman started to approach her.

"Don't," Cyrus whispered rising to his feet as Teman sent a glare at Cyrus and he was pushed back against the rock groaning in pain. Leah tried to move but her legs but they weren't listening to her and she barked out her frustration.

Teman appeared before her, a knife in his hand as he knelt before her. She went to bite him getting a little bit of his hand as he plunged the knife into her side and she snapped at him again.

"Stop it!" Cyrus yelled trying to move forward. Leah lay on the ground whimpering as an unknown liquid burned her side, "I'll do anything, just leave her alone."

Teman laughed and signaled for him to follow, he did so reluctantly. Leah whimpered again as she watched him walk away.

"You'll be fine," Cyrus assured giving her one last smile before following the two men into the forest.
