First Chapter of Edge Of Darkness! Yay! Hope you enjoy it! |
It was dark and he was closing in on me. I don't remember why, but I just knew that if he caught me, I'd be dead. I passed empty streets and ran past rushing cars, I had to get away. In the end I knew that I had no other option..... I had to get away, no matter what... I closed my eyes as I fell down on four paws and ran into the darkness. My paws flew as I ran through the woods, knowing he was right on my heels. I could hear his breath as he sprinted after me. I looked back to see his eyes glowing in the dark as he began to catch up to me. I pushed myself to the limits and kept running. Suddenly, out of nowhere, my breath escaped me as someone crashed into my side, knocking me off of my paws. I tried to stand up but my follower had caught up to me and was standing over me, his teeth bared. As I tried to attack him, his companion joined the party and growled at me, making me hesitate. He had put his front paws on my shoulders, pushing me against the ground, his amber gaze blazing. My follower turned human and stood straight again, his blond hair lightly drifting in the cold winter breeze. "You are very strong and powerful my lady, but just a question, why were you running from us?" He said, his voice hurt, his striking green eyes shining in the shadow of the moonlight. I turned human, and my "attacker" backed off, letting me stand up. I realized as I looked down that my clothes were dirty and at the same time, too thin. As the breeze flowed through my tank top I shuddered and put my arms around myself. My face was scarred and there was some blood dripping from my lower right arm. I ignored the pain and looked up, shaking my head a bit so I could see through my bangs. My follower was not much taller than me, not much older either by the looks of it. As I looked around, I could not see his friend. Before I could react, someone put their arms around me, pulling my arms back, laying them on my back. I screamed and started struggling to get free. Every kick hit perfectly and soon I heard the man in front of me yell. "Stiles STOP!! Let her go! Let me explain to her..." The grip on my arms lightened and I spun around, aiming a punch for his face, but the man was faster and blocked it with his arm. He smiled and laughed, amused apparently. I clenched my teeth, for the first time ever was my lack of physical strength a weakness. I had to rely on my skills and my speed. I aimed another kick in between his legs but it was caught by the other hand. He spun me around and made me fall to the ground. Before I knew it, two wolfes attacked each other, one of them winning. "I SAID STOP!!" Both turned human and as the winner stood up and came towards me, I gasped. He held out a hand, which I took after a while of consideration. He pulled me up and put his other hand on my arm. He frowned and took of his jacket. He put it on my shoulders and helped me put it on. I narrowed my eyes as the man across the clearing stood up. "She's supposed to help us?!" He said angrily. "She can't even take on me!! A beta!! What about an ALPHA!!" The man ignored him and turned to me. "I am so sorry my lady, I am Damon. Him over there is Stiles." He took my hand and kissed it. "Pleased to meet you... Now, what is your name?" I looked at him then at Stiles and started walking towards him. I went straight up to him and slapped him across the face, making him growl. I smiled and turned around. With my confidence once more flowing through my veins I replied. "My name is Tris.... Tris Argent." |
