~Mary~

I sat in the back of the car looking straight ahead. The drive was silent as the couple up front wasn't moving. I glanced at the main claiming to be my grandfather, unable to speak or move. When the women had hugged me, it was like something locked me. I could only move as she allowed. I didn't speak, my voice was taken. Tyler had pleaded for me to say something but all I could do was stand there and stare blankly. I want to reach out to him and hug him tightly and never leave. I had come to this realization that I felt a weird connection with him, a wanting connection. Like he was apart of me. I wanted to protect him, so when these people showed up, I had to get them away from him and his family. I made the snap decision.

I could never go back, that would be the first place they look once I escape. I could gather feeling in my body parts if I concentrated hard enough. I contemplated grabbing my bag and jumping out of the car during a turn when he slows down, but wondered if they'd just come after me. I looked out the window at the passing woods and trees. I didn't know where we were going, but it wasn't my grandparents house. I hope they were okay, nothing bad happen to them. I saw a blur in the tree line and blinked. No..It can't be.. I watched more intently as we drove. We came to a red light and I looked harder. There, just in sight, stood Tyler on what appeared to be a dirt bike.

I grinned and was gonna waved but thought differently of it, not wanting them to see. I glanced back out and saw him still there motioning me to get out. I held up a finger to tell him to hold on, then acted like I was scratching my temple when the man looked in the mirror at me. I glanced back out to see a blur of red speed out ahead in the woods and disappear. I let out a small sigh as the light changed and we lurched forward. We passed two turns before I built the confidence to jump. Intent on this next turn, I casually laid my hand on my carry bag and looked out the window, I was grateful it was a sharp turn and just when he got his slowest, I yanked the door open and leapt out.

I tensed up and grunted as I hit concrete. We were going slow but thirty still hurt. My vision was a little hazy from the impact, and I could definitely feel something broken or fractured, but I had to get up, at least to the tree line. I heard the car break and doors opening and began to panic. I got up as best I could, ignoring the pain and limping away. I heard running footsteps and tried to run but ankle was definitely broken. I felt something hard hit me, and I fell to the ground, letting out a sharp cry. The old man picked me up by my hair and held me in a choke hold.

I kicked with me good leg and clawed at his arm, trying to break his hold but it was futile. The old women came towards us and stopped a foot away. She looked at me for a moment, then reared back her hand and launched it across my face. The sting sent waves through my being, making my already beat up body hurt more. I was being drug back to the car when a sound emerged from the woods behind us. A glimmer of hope arose in me and I cried out in pain when the men jerked me around to look at who was coming.

The noise became louder and louder until a vision of red emerged from the trees and skidded to a stop before us. Tyler launched off and stood before us. Tyler growled furiously as he took in my position and battered body. "Let her go. Now," he snarled. The man tightened his grip, almost completely shutting off my oxygen. I clawed feebly at his arm, trying to get a breath. I was struggling and kick, my ankle burning and I let out a small cry when it hit his leg.

"She can't breathe!" Tyler shouted. "Not my problem." The man replied. "Pretty crappy 'papy' aren't ya?" Tyler retorted. The man laughed and loosened his grip a little, allowing oxygen to slither into my lungs. "Come on son, we both know that didn't fool you for long. Let's cut the crap and stay on business shall we?" Tyler snarled, "Business, eh? So who wants her?" The women stepped forward, in-between the two. "That's none of your business son, let us have her, and we'll leave your family alone." She said calmly. Tyler growled, "one problem, ma'am." She looked at him confused, "What?" "She's apart of our family, and I won't stand for someone to mess with my family."

I gaped in shock and let out another cry as the man jerked me away from Tyler. The women snarled and faced him, as Tyler dropped on all fours. His bone structure began to move and in a few seconds, a great reddish colored wolf was in his place. I stared in shock and went limp in the mans arms. The Tyler-Wolf howled and then lunged for the women. The scene was too nostalgic, that when the images came to me, It was almost welcoming as an explanation. Proof I wasn't crazy.

The women threw her hand against His muzzle and he cried out in pain, I wiggled in the mans grasp, wanting to help him. He held me closer and began dragging me to the car. I put up a better fight this time, and actually gave him trouble. "Quit squirming!" He hollered. That got Tyler's attention. He snapped his head towards us and threw the remains of the women to the ground, she didn't move, and I was glad of it. Something cold and sharp touched my temple. The man had pulled a knife out of nowhere and was holding to my head.

"Make another move, wolf, and she's gone." Tyler stopped and whined, looking at me. I looked back and wiggled my foot a little to grab his attention, he glanced at it as I showed him my plan and growled. I moved his arm just enough to take a big chomp on his hand. He didn't waver, "I'm a vampire, surely you've figured that out by now, that won't work," he said, annoyed. "No, but you are a man, and all men are the same." I reared my foot and swung it back as hard as I could, into the place the sun don't shine. The man yelled and dropped the knife and myself, clutching his private area.

I began crawling away as Tyler took the moment to deal with the man. I leaned up against the guard rail, panting. Soon I smelled smoke and noticed a burn pile off the side of the road. The wolf walked towards me and sat down, soon becoming Tyler once more. I didn't know how to react so I just sat there staring at him. "Are you hurt?" He asked after a few minutes of silence. I continued to stare at him, not paying attention to his question when it hit me what he said, "Uhh..yeah. I'm pretty sure my wrist and ankle are broken..and I'm bleeding somewhere on my head, I have concrete burns on anywhere that's exposed, a raging headache, and broken eyes." He gave me a weird look, "Broken eyes?" I nodded, "because if I'm nor mistaken I just saw you turn into a wolf and tear those people to shreds." He gave a slight smile and nodded. "You're eyes aren't broken, you did see that." I felt my eyes widen in shock at hearing it.

"I won't hurt you, I promise." He said calmly. He reached for me and moved my hair away from my face. I hadn't noticed I had begun to shake until he repeated himself. I calmed myself and nodded as he examined my head wound. I had a pretty deep gash on my head from the impact on the ground. He gathered me up in his arms and walked back to his bike. "Can I take you home?" He asked. I nodded and watched in confusion as he set me in the passenger side of the car and closed the door.

I watched as he went and picked his bike up with ease ad put it in the trunk, then got in the driver's side. He finally noticed my panicked confusion and shrugged. "Hey free car, why waste it?" I shrank back in my seat and then remembered. My bag! As if reading my mind, Tyler gestured to the back seat, "I picked it up with my dirt bike." I sighed in relief. "T-Thank you." I said quietly after the silence proved too much. "For?" I looked at him in shock. For? What do you mean for? you saved my life! "You saved me," I said as if it was obvious.

He chuckled, "I burdened you, now you know my secret, and now you've witnessed me be violent." I shook my head, "I was going to die, that day at the beach, and today, both at the hands of vampires and you saved me. Thank you." He looked at me in shock,"You remember the beach?" I nodded, "When you shifted and growled, I remembered it. I'm not sure if I'm still in shock or just don't care, but it's not hitting me yet." I said casually.

Tyler chuckled, "Probably the first one." I sighed and looked at him, "Why didn't you tell me?" I asked. He let out a breath, "You wouldn't have been able to handle it. With your memory gone and being in a seemingly strangers house, I thought the last thing you needed was a werewolf/vampire history lesson." I snickered a little. "Probably right." The rest of the drive was comfortable silence. We arrived back at his house in no time and as soon as the car stopped, the engine was cut and I was being lifted ever so gently from my seat.

"Let's go inside darlin'" He carried me in, careful not to hit me on anything. "Drew!" I heard Iris yell and rush to me. I snuggled into Tyler, not wanting to be crowded. He smiled and held me close as he sat me on the love seat and took the only available space next to me. His family soon poured into the small space and began asking questions. Mostly his dad though. Once the topic of my health was brought up, his mom soon rushed out and back in with a first aid kit. She pulled up a stool and began to work on me, stitching and bandaging. By the end of it, I was so bandaged, mummy's probably envied me.

"We will not let you out of this house again baby, I'm so sorry!" His mother cried holding my good hand, the other bein wrapped tightly up. "It's fine, I didn't expect you to know, It's not your fault." I said soothing words to her and smiled. "Well, the cats out of the bag, or should I say wolf's out of the bag. Now you know, So you got a choice. Keep the secret, or get your memory wiped. Which is it?" He said this emotionlessly, arms folded across his chest. "Dad give her time to think!" Tyler protested. raised his hand in silence. "Now, I want to know if you are a threat to my family." I cringed away from him and looked around at this family. Do I want to know?

Ooooooooooo she has to choose! What will she choose? What do you guys think? She I wipe her memory or let her stay? Find out in next weeks episode of!- Freedom! In! Chains! *Dramatic Music*
