A Fox darted through the forest trying to get away from something or someone, running as fast as it could. Swiftly dodging both standing and fallen trees. A song could be heard reverberating throughout the forested as the hunter song it, the song made up of her own lyrics;,

"Little fox run run run run far away far away trying to get away trying to get away only to fall into the…umm…um." she stopped looking around awkwardly like she was trying to see if someone had notice her trying to think of lyrics.

"trap that awaits you." her partner said.

"That doesn't rhyme." Said Ava.

"Nether does umm umm um. Her partner said picking at her."

Just then they heard a piercing scream echoing through the forest, a sound that would send chills down your spine.

It seems my lyrics were on spot. He said as he looked towards her a smirk on both there faces.

"Shell we." He said like he was ushering her in the direction of the sound.

When they got to the spot where they had set the trap there was nothing there. Well the trap was still there, but what it had caught wasn't, it had escaped some how because there was way to much blood on the trap and around the area for it not to have.

"What the hell, where the FUCK IS IT!." She shouted.

Her male companion crouched down pulling something out of his pocket that looked like a glass tube that had clear liquid in it, pulled off the top scooping up some of the blood off the trap and got up walked over to another spot and got some blood from there putting it in another tube. He then swirled them around the contents in the containers were different colors then ether other.

"I think it had help." The male hunter said holding up the two tubes

"Hun a werewolf huh, so there helping ether other now." She said after seeing the color of one of the vials. "Now the only question is, how did it get injured."

A Little Earlier

Nathan was siting on his motorcycle at the side of the road somewhere dialing someone on his phone.

"Hello." Austin said answering his phone in a whisper.

"It's me Nathan. Why are you talking like that?"

"Because I'm not suppose to be on the phone right now, Derek has us out in the cold."

"Huh why?" Said Nathan.

"Well someone had to go and open their mouth and bother him." Said Austin trying to push the blame off on somebody else. "What were you calling for?"

"I was about to go to the movies and i wanted to know if you guys wanted to go with me." Said Nathan.

"I would love to but-"

You bettered not be on the phone." Nathan heard Derek say in the back ground.

"Sorry i had to answer, its my mom." Austin said to Derek.

"Well hurry it up." Said Derek.

"Really," Mom really you could have said Dad. Nathan said complaining. "but no you said Mom."

"I love you to mom." Austin said before hanging up. Smiling as he did so. "bye."

"Hey," Nathan said pulling the phone away from his ear and looking at it. "did he just hang up on me. I wasn't even finished talking yet." Nathan sighed picking up his helmet that he had hanging on the handle-bares. Just as he got the helmet partially on his head he heard a laud sound that sounded like it could be animals or

humans scream.

The fox had run right into the trap that the hunters had left. It snapped down onto its foot, costing the fox to let out a piercing cry of pain. It pulled and tugged trying to free it's self but was only making it worst. it was a leg-hold trap with sharp teeth that was digging in the more it struggled.

"Don't struggle." Said Nathan popping up from behind a big tree startling the fox. It dropped its body down to the ground and started growling, when Nathan got closer it lifted back up and started making a sound that sounded like a mixture of a bark and a growl together.

"I'm not going to hurt you, I promise." Said Nathan as he slowly came closer. "I'm like you, see." He said making his eyes glow but when he did they were. Not gold not blue not red but green.

It calmed down and let him approach. Nathan started trying to pull the jaws open to free the fox. As the jaws begin to open the fox whimpered in pain as the teeth slowly came out of its paw.

"Sshhh, I'm sorry i almost got-." Nathan was saying but stopped when he heard the sound of somebody coming their way. "Um…" he started looking around for something, spotting a large stick, he grabbed it sticking it in-between the jaws to stop it from clamping all the way back shut on the foxes paw.

He then disappeared behind something leaving the fox to seemingly fin for itself.

The fox started to grow again after seeing someone come walking up. "Looks like i found you in time." Said The hunter that had just talked up, standing in front of the fox.

It started to grow louder.

"You won't have to weary about being stuck much longer." The hunter said as he slowly pulled out a sword, coming closer to the fox.

Before he could get any closer Nathan came from the side tackling him to the ground, And holding him there.

"Get off of me." Said The hunter.

The hunter pulled a knife out of the sheath on the side of his right leg, thrusting it into Nathan's side, catching him off guard, Nathan let go backing up off him. Nathan stood up on his feet looking down at the knife sticking in him, as the hunter got up.

Nathan looked at him and smirked. "Your gonna to have to do better than that." Nathan said to the hunter, then looked back down at the knife.

"I'm not after you." The hunter said as Nathan grabbed the knife handle Yanking it out of himself.

"Thanks for the knife." Nathan said with the knife in his hand. "But I don't need it." he continued then threw it to the ground.

The hunter looked from Nathan to the fox, then lounged forward towards the fox, but he wasn't fast enough. Before what seemed like a blink of an eye, Nathan had caught him by the chest sending him flying to the ground. He grunted when his back collided with the ground.

"I'm not going to let you touch her." Said Nathan walking up to the young hunter crouching down beside him. Nathan brought his face closer to him. "You know what I think, I think that it's your first time. There's no scent of a kill on you. You see you can tell when a hunter has killed or not, Once you learn it. It's not something your born with it's something you learn, and I learned it against my will." Nathan explained.

"So here's what were going to do." Nathan said with his sharp nails to the hunters throat. "Your going to leave, and decide that you never want to harm anything ever again in your life, and i won't kill you."

"I can't do that." Said the hunter.

Nathan dropped his head down between his legs. "Not what I wanted to hear." He said then tightened his hand on the hunters neck.

"I'm…not going…to…hurt…it." The hunter manage to get out.

Nathan chuckled. Bringing the young hunter to his feet. "i don't believe you." Nathan said then threw him hard against a tree.

The hunter was on his stomach barely moving but surely alive.

"Aww, Did I break your back?" Said Nathan. "You wanna know why I don't believe you." Nathan said crouching down beside him. "It's a secret." He said putting his lips close to the hunters ear. "Because the last time I heard something like that from a hunter, I became an only child." Nathan said then stood up walking over to the little fox to continue freeing it.

He reached and opened the jaws of the trap. "Oow I didn't see that before." Along with the sharp teeth that was still inside of its paw there was a small poll going all the way through the fox's ankle joining the jaws together.

"Sorry about this." Said Nathan he tuck one hand and wrapped it around the foxes muzzle, then yanked the poll out of its leg, freeing it from the trap.

Just as he did he felt a knife stab into his back, just missing his spinal cord.

"I warned you." Said the hunter standing behind him.

"Well I see your not paralyzed." Nathan said in obvious pain. Then wiped around grabbing the hunter by the neck. "You know I should've killed you earlier."

"Yeah, you should have." The hunter said then stabbed another knife into him. But this time it was different the hunter had something that looked like tattoos glowing traveling down his hand to the knife.

Nathan tightened his grip on the hunters neck, stepped forward causing the hunter to stumble back losing his footing and fall backwards bring Nathan with him.

They both could hear foot steps coming there way. Go, now. Nathan said to the fox. When it tried to do as he said and run off, it couldn't its paw was to badly wounded.

Transform. Nathan said to the fox. Did just that sheathing into a human girl, and running off.

The hunter yanked the knife out then stabbed it back into another spot, repeating the motion over and over again.

Nathan started to feel strange, looking at the hunter with a look in his eyes that said, what did you do to me?

He wasn't really worry about protecting himself from the knife, it would be just a temporary wound. But something was different about the wounds that this hunter was inflicting with this Knife, they weren't healing.

Nathan felt to the side coughing up blood.

"The more you try to heal yourself the more your going to bleed out." the hunter seethed. "You will be able to heal eventually but you'll probably bleed to death out here before you can." or you'll just be finished off by them. The hunter said gesturing in the direction of the other hunters coming their way.

"I'm going to kill you." Nathan said to the young hunter that had turned his back to leave.

"I'm glad you think so." The hunter said looking back at him before running off.

Nathan lied there trying to fight off the pain, so he could gain enough stamina to get up. "Ok Nathan pull yourself together, you've been through a hell of a lot worst then this." Nathan said to himself before siting up with a grunt and stumbling away.

"Somethings coming." Said Derek. They all readied their selfs, eyes glowing fangs and nails both out.

A young body came busting through the bushes naked and holding her arm, blood dripping down her hand. Derek and the his pack all looked on trying to figure out what to do.

"Help…me." The little fox girl said through a broken voice, before fainting.


:


"Let's go, I doubt they stuck around." Said Ava.

Nathan hid down behind some bushes and trees, out of their sight, not far from the hunters. quietly Listening and waiting. When they were fully out of ears hearing range. He let out a breath of relief. He then tried to site up, but felled miserably. All he managed to do was make his injures worst, coughing up blood.

"Damn it." He said holding his right hand to one of the wounds, while the other one went into his pocket for his phone. When he got the phone out of his pocket he lifted his hand to look at the wound. "Why aren't you healing." he said to himself after seeing all the blood coming out faster than it should.

He pressed call on a name in his phone then put the phone to his ear. When the phone started to ring it went straight to voice mail instead.

He called another number. "Come on Jin answer the phone." he said calling the other teens phone. This time it ringed but nobody answered.

"Jin I got myself into a little situation… and well… I thing I maybe bleeding to death." Nathan said to the phone, leaving a message that he hopped the high schooler would get soon, and not a day or two late like most people. All he could do now was wait.
