Yay! I got a lot of reviews for the last chapter, and I loved them! I did another happy dance! That should make you guys feel special…yeah…okay.

Disclaimer: I don't own SWAC.

Enjooyyy.

I didn't look back.

I could hear his footsteps behind me. As though I were on the ground with my ear pressed down against the floor, listening. He was a good ten feet behind me, going the exact same way.

I was frightened. Completely frightened. There wasn't any other feeling inside me I could comprehend. This is why I needed someone like me here. To tell me who this boy was. What he was.

Tawni had told me Chad Dylan Cooper has treated her cast mates like dirt. What he was, did that have to do with any of it? The rivalry, is that because if what he is?

My curiosity was burning into my actions. I had to look around. Behind me. Was he still following, or simply going somewhere else that just happened to be the same way I was going?

I opened the doors to the studios roughly. I think I broke the hinge on one. Crap.

My state of mind got the best of me. I looked over my shoulder at the incredible smelling boy. Chad was looking at me, curious. I looked forward once again and quickened my pace to reach the forest faster.

He followed suit.

When I reached the edge of the forest I looked back once again. Not at Chad, but at the studio. No one was watching us, looking out a window or anything at us, suspicious. I turned back with inhuman speed and ran like a bullet through the forest.

No one came with.

When I was about halfway inside, I stopped, gripping a tree. I stayed there for five minutes. I heard footsteps again. They were slow, probably not trying to startle me.

If this boy was human, what had I done? Exposed myself. That's what. I was being stupid and reckless, letting my head get to my feet. The last thing I wanted was this curios boy to have to be murdered.

I saw his sandy blonde hair. I could see his blue eyes, his Mackenzie Falls uniform. I gripped the trunk of the tree even harder than before.

Crack.

The whole trunk of the tree broke in half and fell to the ground with a thump. I gaped at it, then at Chad. He chuckled. The sound was beautiful, smooth.

"Um…" He tried to say something. I backed up as much as I could, but then walked into a tree. I stopped there, not wanting to get any closer to this mysterious boy.

"Who are you?" I whispered.

It was a test. No human could ever hear that. Chad raised his eyebrows and rubbed his neck.

"Uh, Chad. Chad Dylan Cooper." He didn't reach for my hand.

I was really scared now.

"What are you?" I asked in the same volume.

He looked confused at my question, shaking his head as if he hadn't heard, but I knew he had.

"I'm sorry, what?" He asked.

"You heard me." I said, louder, now. "What are you?"

He still looked confused. Though he put his hands out toward me as if in surrender, and took a step forward. Not trying to scare me then.

"You honestly don't know?"

Now, I was the one looking confused.

"Am I supposed to?" I asked, worried. Was he someone I had met before?

"I'm…uh…before I tell you promise me you won't freak out?"
Already freaked out.

Again, I ran. I put all my fear into my feet and sprinted like a ghost through the empty forest. This time, I heard something following.

A dog.

A dog? Why was there a loose dog out here?

I listened closer. It was a dog, but I guess a really big dog. I'm a vampire, I could take it. No, not kill it, take it back to its owner. Jeez, killing is wrong, I wouldn't kill it!

I stopped abruptly and turned. It was the wrong choice.

I dog as big as a horse stopped and skidded across the forest floor. It lost its balance, and fell to the ground with a whimper. It smelled amazing.

Smelled amazing?

Chad.

Chad?

Chad!

He scurried into a more comfortable position. A crouch. It was a fighting stance.

I just stared, scared out of my mind. My forehead wrinkled in fear, and if I could cry, I would. Once again I backed up, into a tree. I rolled my eyes. I backed up more and tripped over a stone or stick and fell to the ground.

Of course, I could have fixed my footing in a flash, but I was frozen now. No way was I moving any time soon.

The dog…wolf….wolf? The wolf looked shocked at itself. It shook its head, his blonde fur moving with the process, closing his eyes to hide his dark blue pupils.

Yes, this was Chad.

He advanced me slowly. Then, he was gone.

"Chad?"

"Chill, Sonny. Sorry. I got a little freaked out when you freaked out." He emerged from a tree trunk.

"How do you know my name?" I hadn't told him before.

Chad bit his lip and put his hands in his pockets, shrugging. He was uncomfortable.

"You just…look like a Sonny."

I narrowed my eyes. "I'm pale. A vampire." He winced. "How do I look…Sonny?"

His eyes darted everywhere but my face. I decided to drop the subject. I was curious at him.

"So, you're a dog?" I asked.

He growled at me, a furious low, growl. When he took in my frightened reaction, though, he shook his head, laughing.

"For a second I thought you were insulting me. Um…yeah. A werewolf." He sighed.

"What does it have to do with me?" I was clueless to our relationship. Was I supposed to love him, hate him, hurt him…

Chad looked like this question he didn't want me to ask.

"It doesn't matter." He muttered.

I stood up, nodding. "Yes it does. Why are you here? Or more importantly, why are you following me?"

He stopped leaning on the tree, losing his smooth guy feelings. I looked at him, more confused than I've ever been.

"I-I'm not following you."

"Your scent," I said, advancing him. "You smell really good. I could smell you, yesterday, when I was…yeah…"

I stopped advancing when I was about three yards away. I was right, and he was going to admit it.

He sighed, defeated. "You're a vampire. I was curious about you."

I felt like there was more to the story. There was. Definitely.

"Listen, Chad." I sneered his name. "I don't know who you think you are. But, you're not giving me any information. I hear what you're not telling me…there's more. Just tell me what's going on, and why you're here."

This was when he got territorial.

"Well, here's some information for you, Sonny." He grimaced. " I was here first. I'm here because it's my duty to protect Hollywood. From you. You're a disgusting bloodsucker, and I intend to kill you sooner or later. Now would be a pretty good time…"

He advanced me now.

"So, you're a dog?" She asked sarcastically. Even though it didn't show In her voice, I knew it was an insult.

I was furious. I was trying to be kind and not scare her. She crossed the line. I growled the most menacing growl I could muster up. When I looked to glare at her, she had a look of pure terror on her face, I realized she was clueless.

"Oh, for a second I thought you were insulting me."

Why was I talking to her like this? I should just be looking at her disgustedly and walking away, but something about her kept my feet from moving.

"Um…yeah…a werewolf." I sighed.

Sonny's expression was curious, and a little scared.

"What does it have to do with me?" She asked.

I didn't want to tell her. I wouldn't tell her. The way I couldn't leave, the reason why I wouldn't tell her we were enemies…was that, right now, I was sort of attracted to a vampire.

I think that was bad. "It doesn't matter." He muttered.

I stood up, nodding. "Yes it does. Why are you here? Or more importantly, why are you following me?"

He stopped leaning on the tree, losing his smooth guy feelings. I looked at him, more confused than I've ever been.

"I-I'm not following you." I stuttered.

"Your scent," She said, advancing me. "You smell really good. I could smell you, yesterday, when I was…yeah…"

I didn't really want to tell her the complete truth, so I told part of it.

"You're a vampire," I told her honestly. "I was curious about you."

She wasn't flattered. She wasn't happy. She looked pissed.

"Listen Chad," She spoke my name like it was some disgusting bug. "I don't know who you think you are. But, you're not giving me any information. I hear what you're not telling me… there's more. Just tell me what's going on, and why you're here."

Um, hello? Wasn't I here first?

"Well, here's some information for you, Sonny." I grimaced. "I was here first. I'm here because it's my duty to protect Hollywood. From you. You're a disgusting bloodsucker, and I intend to kill you sooner or later. Now would be a pretty good time…"

I walked toward her. My anger was boiling inside me now. Sure, she was hot, but she wasn't kicking m out of Hollywood.

I imagined her. Dead. Ripped to pieces and burned to create that awful smell. I realized now that I wanted her alive. Smelling good. I kept the act up, though. I wasn't letting her leave.

I decided to give her a warning.

"You have no idea what I can do. I'm designed to destroy you. I can kill you so easily, so you better watch out. I'm taking you back to the pack. We either kill you, or hold you captive. Sorry. I almost feel a little bit bad about this."

I morphed, showing off my skills a doing it so fast. I smirked, but she was watching again with pure terror in her eyes.

"No, please. I didn't mean to offend you. I'm just scared…" She said quickly.

I shook my head. Of course I couldn't speak to her.

Woah, Lily had morphed. I felt you morph. You've got the bloodsucker? Riley'll be thrilled.

Why's everyone wolf now? What's going on- WOAH! You got the girl? Jackson.

What's all the fuss? This was Riley.

I've got the vampire. I thought, looking at Sonny and having her perfect body run throughout my thoughts so the others would see. They saw her terrified expression, and laughed internally.

Good job, Chad. Everyone meet at the usual place.

I felt Andrew morph. What's going on?

Chad's got the girl, my fellow wolves chorused.

Awesome! Probably turned on the Chad charm or something, huh, dude? Andrew was thrilled. Probably ready to torture Sonny.

I didn't think. They caught on to my mood and stopped thinking direct words, but I could hear them think about Sonny's expression. Jackson was thinking abut her body.

Back off, I put as much venom into the thought.

What? Just thinking. Besides, it's not like she's your girlfriend or anything. Jackson snickered in his thoughts.

I shook my head.

"What are you thinking?" Sonny asked.

I couldn't answer of course.

I just shook my head once again.

You don't wanna know, I thought.

Hell, she's gonna find out soon though. See ya in a sec, bro.

Everyone was already there in the forest. We were a few miles away.

I pushed Sonny with my nose, telling her to speed up. She looked at me, and I gave her a look with my eyes that made her swear not to run.

She began to run like a speed demon behind me. She could have gone fasterm I could tell, but we got to the usual place in about ten seconds,

I morphed as fast as I could and grabbed a hold of the frozen Sonny. She was staring at all the people in a circle. I wrapped one hand around her waist and one was cupping her neck. I was still super strong when I was in my body, so she didn't struggle.

Then, she gasped. She was staring horrified at Cindy, our prisoner. Cindy stared right back.

"What did you do to her?" Sonny gasped.

She was furious now, and struggled hard. I tried as hard as I could to keep her in bound, but she was stronger when I wasn't a wolf. She broke free and ran to Cindy's side, falling to her knees. I put up a hand toward the wolves, telling them to back off.

"What are they doing to you?" She asked.

Cindy just shook her head. It looked like she was crying, but of course she couldn't.

"You need to get out of here," Cindy tried to talk, but her voice was hoarse from not eating for months. She mouthed the words.

"No, no. I'm not." Sonny said, breaking the chains.

Then the wolves started to morph. They weren't as fast as I was at the morphing, so it took them about five seconds of time to do it. I was finished in half a second, but I was too late. Cindy was free and still weak, but she thanked Sonny in a rush of words I could barely pick up and ran. Sonny smiled at her work.

The rest of the pack ran after Cindy. All except Riley.

"Run. Be free." Sonny sighed.

She turned back to us.

"What now?" She asked with an attitude.

I smirked at Riley. This is fun.

"Well," Riley said. "Chad said you were different, Sonny."

Sonny whipped her head around to look at me. It was an accusing glare.

"And what did he say?" She asked, trying to hide her curiosity as annoyance.

Riley smiled. What was he thinking?

"Chad, could I speak with you in private?"

We morphed.

She seems different, he thought.

I know, there's something about her…

I looked at her. It was a light, curious, but longing stare.

I have a bad feeling about this, He thought sadly.

What kind of bad feeling? I asked..

I looked into his head a little more. He was thinking of Sonny and I. It was a harmless thought, but then he was thinking of something a little more than it looked like…

Woah. Woah! She's a vampire!

Again, Riley thought.

It was a memory:

"What do you mean you saw Chad with Sonny?" Riley asked Cindy.

She shook her head.

"They are…a couple…they will become extremely close…" She mumbled.

"Chad's the best in the group! He's not stupid enough to do that!" Riley yelled.

"Don't be mad at me…be mad at the vision. It could change…but it seems so clear. Like destiny. But I've seen so much, who am I to say destiny is even possible…but, the way they look at each other now…it's a mysterious love…they'll be so curious and interested in one another that they will look past what they are…an impossible love…it's sweet."

I growled at Riley fiercely. I barely knew the girl! The thing! How could I love her?

I don't know…but she seemed so positive…

The future isn't set in stone, things change.

And with that, I morphed back.

Riley was in human form a few seconds after me.

"You weren't barking or anything…" Sonny was really confused.

"We can read each other's thoughts." I said haughtily.

"Can you read my thoughts? Oh my god- don't hold it against me! I just met him-"

"Sonny!" Riley interrupted. "No, we can't read you thoughts."

I knew if she could, she'd be blushing like mad.

"What…were you…thinking about me?" I asked cockily.

"I wasn't talking about you," She said, flippig her hair over her shoulder in the cutest way- ugliest…ugliest way, Ew.

"Even when we're not wolves I can tell what you're thinking," Riley smirked.

I glared.

"I think you were," I said to Sonny.

"No, I wasn't."

Ugh, if she was going to be difficult about it…

"Fine!" I yelled.

She looked shocked. "Fine!" She threw her hands up in the air.

I didn't know what to say now. "Good!" I yelled off instinct.

"Good!" She screamed.

I noticed we had been unconsciously moving toward each other. Her face was just a few inches from mine now, and I could feel Riley's eyes on us.

I was still angry, so I said the first thing that came to mind.

"You smell really good," I muttered.

She looked at me like I was crazy, then just laughed.

"I've smelled you when I hunt," She whispered. "That makes two of us."

She stole one last glance at Riley before smiling at me sarcastically and running away, ten times faster than a bullet.

Riley laughed.

"Lover's quarrel!"

IT'S OFFICIALLY 2010!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT 2009!!
