*You fucking BASTARDS!* Mato shouts as she runs out of the den. She jumps in the air, landing on the vampire's chest, effectively knocking it to the ground, growling with her fangs bared it its face.

"God damn wolf! Get off me!" The vampire shouts, trying to push Mato off of him. Mato clicks her teeth, while her growl increases in viciousness. Suddenly, the vampire pulls out a silver chain, and throws it at her. It latches itself onto her.

*What the hell!* Mato shouts with wide eyes as she jumps off the vampire. When she lands on the ground, she lays her shoulder on the ground, and tries to rub the silver chain off. She yelps when she feels it begin to burn into her flesh.

"Hahaha! That'll show you who the superior one is!" The vampire says as he gets to his feet. Mato whines as the silver slowly takes effect, causing her to transform into her human shape.

"Damn you! Get this god damn thing off of me!" Mato shouts, fumbling with her fingers as she tries to get the thing off. The vampire walks forward, and smiles down at her.

"You know, you're actually attractive for a werewolf." The vampire says with a glint in his eyes.

"And you're exceedingly ugly for a vampire." Mato says baring her teeth.

"It really doesn't matter whether you think I am or not. You have no say. You're tied to the ground." The vampire says, motioning toward the silver.

*Once again, my luck SUCKS!* Mato mentally complains, shaking her head.

"Yeah well." The vampire says with a shrug. Mato looks at him with a shocked expression on her face.

"You...you can hear me?" Mato questions, looking at him, flabbergasted. The vampire smiles at her, causing her to growl at him.

"So what if I can?" The vampire questions, looking at her with instigating eyes.

"You shouldn't be able to. The only one who should be able to without my permission is my alpha!" Mato shouts, her shock coming out as anger.

"And who would that me?" The vampire questions, cocking his head to the side.

"ME!" A voice says. Mato looks up at the same time Mitch jumps down, and faces the vampire. "And who the hell do you think you are messing with my bitch?" Mitch demands, glaring at the vampire.

"YOUR bitch, huh?" The vampire asks, looking at Mitch with a raised eyebrow. He sighs before turning his attention back to Mato.

"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Rhoan Fang." The vampire says, bowing at the waist.

"Why does that name sound so familiar...hm..." Mato mutters, looking at the ground with a deep in thought look on her face. Mato looks toward him. "How do I? Who exactly are you?" Mato demands, looking at him. Rhoan smiles, and looks into her eyes.

"I'm your twin brother." Rhoan says with a smile. Mato's mouth drops open as she stares at him.

"How the hell can a vampire be my brother? I'm not a vampire!" Mato shouts, glaring at Rhoan.

"Our mother was a vampire." Rhoan says with a shrug. Mato takes a step back, and trips on a tree root, before she could fall, Rhoan catches her. "You mean our father never told you?" Rhoan asks, looking Mato in the eyes.

"If he did, do you think I would be acting like this." Mato demands, glaring at him.

"No, not really." Rhoan says with a small grin on his face. Mato sighs, and shakes her head.

"Mind telling me why you suddenly showed up in my life?" Mato demands, looking at him with furrowed eyebrows.

"Because you're in danger." Rhoan says, suddenly becoming serious.

"What do you mean, danger? From who?" Mato demands, looking at him with wide eyes.

"I'm really not at liberty to discuss that here. Come with me, and all will be explained." Rhoan says as he sets her on her feet.

"I'm not going anywhere until you explain." Mato says, meeting Rhoan in the eyes.

"I told you I can't! Our grandfather will be pissed with me if I do...and I really feel like upsetting the old man in the future." Rhoan says, shaking his head.

"Our...grandfather?" Mato questions, a flabbergasted look on her face. Rhoan sighs, and shakes his head.

"Did no one tell you ANYTHING?" Rhoan shouts, throwing his arms in the air in exasperation.

"Apparently not." Mato says, shaking her head. Suddenly, she remembers that Mitch's standing by her. She turns to look at him, but before she is fully turned, she's thrown up against a nearby tree. With a whimper, she slides down the tree.
