"No! ", I scream, as I watch Gwendor fall to the ground, dead. I stumble to the ground next to him, sobbing into his golden fur. This is my fault. If I hadn't gone to the Hunters' little council meeting group thingy, this lion would still be alive. I just wanted to try and be brave and find out what they were doing. But they had spotted me within seconds. I have the characteristics of a cat. Sharper canine teeth, eyes that look like a cat's, the way I walk with such ease, and my voice.
CRACK
I twirled around quickly and found myself looking into the eyes of the Hunter that killed Gwendor. I glare at him. "I'll get you for what you did. You'll be sorry. Stay out of the night "I hiss, trying to sound threatening, and sprint away before he even gets a chance to grab his gun.
I run until i reach a town, and I keep running. I seem to lose the feeling in my legs, but I don't stop. I know that if I do, even for just a second, I'll be dead. I can hear a truck behind me, and I wonder why they don't shoot. It's close behind. I know that if I keep going like this I won't ever have a chance to escape.
So I stop, mid stride, and turn around. I glace at the truck that was pursuing me and realize that it isn't one of the hunters' trucks. It was just some old man driving down the street. I can't believe how stupid I'm feeling. How long had i run until they gave up? Half way ? Or did they even try to catch me? I sigh and lay on the ground, too exhausted to shift back into my human form.

"Need some water? "a guy asks from behind. I growl, expecting a fight. "Now is that a way to treat a fellow werecat? ", the person says sarcastically. I turn to look at the guy but instead my eyes find a spotted leopard.

"Have you been following me? For how long? ", I ask suspiciously.
The leopard shrugs and says,"Long enough to see my leader get killed by the Hunters".

I look at the ground guiltily. "I'm sorry. I tried to tell him but he couldn't hear me! The dogs were barking and we were running ",I apologize.

I look up at the leopard, realizing how much bigger he is than me. It doesn't make sense. We are both leopards. I'm just a snow and he is a spotted. This would defiantly be a fight I wouldn't win.

"What's your name? "the leopard asks. "St-Star ", I stutter."Is that short for Starlet?" he asks. I nod my head. " Pretty name. I'm Liam ", he says."I used to have a pet hamster named Liam ", I mutter. He laughs.

We just look at each other for a long time. I admire his fur. Its a beautiful shade of gold.

"So do you want some water? " he asks again. "Yes, please ",i almost beg.

Liam shifts into human form and hands me a water bottle. I shift back into human form and take the bottle. I start gulping down the cool liquid. While I do so, my gaze falls on Liam. I have to admit, he is quite good looking. He looks around 15 or 16. His hair is a milk chocolate color, his eyes are a gorgeous brown, and his skin is a dark tan. I wonder if he is from Egypt; I once had a friend from Egypt and she had all the same features. I notice he has no shirt on, adding onto his hotness. My eyes pour over his well defined abs. I can't believe this boy is even talking to me.

I choke on air, seeing that im out of water. I stand up and brush the dirt and leave off my legs.

"I think you should come with me for a while", Liam says. "Why? ", I ask. "Because are still some Hunters snooping around here and Pride will want to know what happened to Gwendor ", he explains.

"No! No, no, no, no, no. Please? They will kill me! One of them already tried, but I got away. They scratched me! Do you want to see the scar? "I ask. I pull up my shirt so that he can see the 7 inch scar across my left side. He gasps and backs away.

"Who did this? What did they look like? ", he asks urgently."What? Oh, ah... Hmm ... it was a tiger. A really big tiger. And it talked in a female voice ", I explain.

"What did she say?" I wonder why he is freaking out so much.
So what? Another werecat doesn't like me and tried to potentially kill me. Maybe she thought i was in her territory. I watch Animal Planet, I'm not clueless.

"She asked me who i was, how long i had been a werecat, and who had changed me into a werecat ",I say. "And you said...?", Liam asks. "I said that my name is Star, I had been a wercat for two and a half weeks, and that i didnt know what changed me. I remember the night i was camping with my mom and my friend Clove. We were attacked by something and it had bit me. I didn't tell either of them about the bite because i didn't wana cause problems. My mother and Clove never saw what had did it", I say.

"How long ago was this?" Liam asks. "Four days ago", I answer. So you have been a werecat for about three weeks? You really need to come with me", he says. " But why?" I ask miserably.

"Because she is probably going to try to kill you again", he say plainly.
