Chapter 4

"Excuse me?" she asked after looking at him as if he had just said she was an alien and the army was after her.

"You heard me." He said and then grimaced in pain when he tried to move to a more comfortable position.

"You really shouldn't be moving" she said. When she would have moved to help him he shot her a glare that would have killed anyone on spot.

"I don't need anyone's help. Especially yours." He said with malice in his tone.

"Didn't seem like it when you were half dead on me. Wretch!" she said under his breath. Fang looked at her in amazement. No one had ever said anything like that to him. He looked up at her and then grinned. Skyler looked at him in shock. Who ever knew the ungrateful bastard could smile like that. Fang saw the shocked looked on her face and then burst out laughing.

"What's so funny?"

"The look on your face."

"Whatever. So are you going to explain or what?" she asked as she got a chair from the desk and scooted it next to the bed.

"I need to get out of here." He said. He was thinking about getting up but thought better of it. Fang looked around the room for something that would tell him about her. While he was doing that Skyler was looking at him hard. Trying to figure him out. Did he have a motive? And what was he talking about putting her in danger.

"Can you please explain." She said and then held her breath as he turned those black coal eyes on her.

"No."

"Ok, then I guess I'll have to call the cops."

"You wouldn't dare." He said as his eyes narrowed to slits at her.

"Try me." She said with a smirk plastered on her face.

"I'm being hunted by the wolf clan assassin." He said

The what, what, she thought because she didn't think that she had heard him right.

"You heard me fine" he said. Then his eyes widened.

"What? She asked and then paused." "Did you just answer my question?" she asked.

"It can't be" he said in disbelief.

"What can't be?" she asked and when he just sat there and looked at her like she had just grew another head she became exasperated. "Would you just tell me what the heck is wrong?"

"It's nothing." And even as he said this he was still staring at her.

"Whatever just finish your story please." She said, "You stopped at wolf assassin"

"Wolf clan assassin" he said correcting her.

"Whatever. Just get on with it already."

"All I can tell you is that there is an assassin hunting me down."

"Why though? What did you do?" she asked as she brushed her bangs away from her forehead.

"Let's just say that I took something that was very vital to them"

"Meaning you stole it."

"Yes."

"So why did you steal it?" she asked, "Are they trying to like take over the world or something?"

"Don't be ridiculous."

"Hey, it can happen. I've seen it on TV. a lot."

"Yes, well this is reality." He said as and then turned his head to look outside the window. "There is a prophecy."

"A prophecy? What's it about?"

"There is a girl out there somewhere with the power to turn those who are from the supernatural world back into a human. Whether you were or not she can turn them human. And she has other powers that the prophecy doesn't mention but states that anyone who has her will have absolute power."

"And try to take over the world?" she inquired

"Yes damn it and try to take over the bloody world." He said in exasperation.

"Sheesh don't get your knickers in a bunch." She said and then got up to pace around the room. She could feel Fang's eyes burning a hole through the back of her shirt.

"I have never met a more annoying girl in my life" he said as he scowled at her

"Well, get used to it cause I get worse." She said as she turned back to stare at him. "What is it that you stole from them anyways?" she finally asked him after a small silence. But Fang was staring at her with narrowed eyes and a closed mouth. "Fine. Don't tell me then. But you're going to have to trust me sooner or later."

"I don't trust anyone. Least of all women." He said with such menace in his tone that Skyler started thinking that maybe a woman had broken his heart at one time or another.

"Hungry?" she asked after a while

"Why?" he asked with suspicion set deep in his eyes

"Trust me much?" she said with sarcasm dripping out of her. "You can starve for all I care. I was starting to get hungry and I just thought that you might too." She replied as she headed for the door. Skyler had her hand on the doorknob and was just about to turn it when his voice stopped her.

"Yes" was all he said

"Okay. I'll be back in a few. Try to get some sleep please." She said and then left the bedroom to go to the kitchen to cook.
