Lucys P.O.V
I wonder what she was doing in the woods, she looks like she has come from a modern fairytale not the middle of a rainy dark woods, I don't even think she knows the woods aren't safe. I looked through my wardrobe looking for something that would fit her but it was impossible because she was tiny! I came across an old little grey dress, which never fitted me or suit me and I had never worn it because it was just one of those gifts you get and its something you don't like but you keep it to make the person happy. The dress really suited her, she looked like a little angel. " Thanks," Her voice was really soft and she had a little shy smile which could warm the bottom of your heart, I left the room to give her a chance to get changed, I shut the door then my little sister Charley popped up out of no where. She was wearing MY jumper, I was going to kill her! She sneakily smiled then taunted," What ya hidding in your room, wait till dad hears about another hu--," I covered her mouth with my hand then she did the most disgusting thing ever and licked it. I sighed then growled a bit, she backed off and ran downstairs, that would get rid of her for a while.
Ashs P.O.V
I looked around everywhere, but I couldn't find the girl, rushing through the trees, I saw a head of white hair so I walked towards it and just hoped it was the girl. The girl was with... Lucy. I fastly paced over towards Lucy, the girl was holding a bundle of wet sopping clothes, she was wearing a little grey dress, she tilted her head up at me then smiled. She looked quite shy because she kind of half hid behind lucy, she held out a tiny pale hand and said," Hi I'm Elena, I live in the house close to the lake, just moved here," I took her hand and shook it, it was as cold as ice. The breeze blew, her hair fluttered gracefully like a butterfly, the smell of candyfloss and peppermint wafted over, an unusual combination but it smelt divine. Giving her a smile of my own, I introduced myself. " Hi my name is Ash, I live near Lucy," We continued to slowly walk and then I said to lucy," If you want I'll walk Elena home, I know where she lives because her brother asked me to look for her," Lucy smirked at me then mouthed " whatever loverboy" I replied to embarrass her," Whatever Lucifer," She gave me a glare a dementor would be proud of then waved and shouted," Byeeeee Elena, see you around," i turned around, wastching lucy fade into the forest, she was long gone within minutes. I gazed at elena, she giggled when she realised I was staring at her. " so whats is there to do around here?" Her voice was quick and a little inpatient." There is surfing, it's hard to tug around the board but I hae good balence and I love swimming," I remember the old days when I use to surf, when I had time but now I cliff dive, a rush of memories came my way and I gave in. The rush whenI jumped, the wind blowing in my face as I got closer and closer to the water. The cool ipact of water, a tide, the bitter taste of salt and the stinging. Then the laughter of my friends, the yelling and the splashes. "Have you ever tried cliff diving," Not realising I had said it I looked to see a horrified face. "No, I haven't tried anything like that really, I'm kinda afraid of heights but I'm ok with climbing trees," Her eyes gazed up at me, she actually had to lift her face right up just to see mine then she she looked away smiling.
" If you ever want I'll take you cliff diving and don't worry I promise I would keep you safe," I didn't mention my friends because they wouldn't find out, I would get into trouble anyway and so would elena. I would give an arm and a leg to ake sure nobody ran into my friends but it's impossible.
Elenas P.O.V
By the time I had knew it, I was hoe and standing on my creamy porch.
"bye..."
" my name is Ash..." I alredy knew it, why was he repeating it? "... Ash Redthornn," I giggled at his last name, it was really close to my last name. "Whats so funny about my name?!"Deep lines in confusion and fury were etched into his face, he looked insulted." y last name is Blackthornn, Elena Blackthornn," His puckered face relaxed and smiled," Ha, their quite close," I smiled, I smiled a lot it just came naturally and it was like tie and you just couldn't stop it. " See you monday, I've got to go now, you do go to Iona high school, don't you?"
He nodded his head, "bye,"
Changing
Later that night...
The full moon was out, bright and glowing in a bright ghostly aura, darkness surrounded me, I wlked further forward but I could only see trees. I was lost, then I saw ash, well he was different. His eyes were different, they had a dangerous glint which was almost animal like. I heard a deep growl from behind me, I turned around but nothing was there. A chilly breeze came in with a roll of mist which curled around my feet, I rubbed my arms in an attempt to keep warm. Turning to where ash had been, he was gone but then I heard it, deep growls which was so close and whatever it was it was growling my name. Then the squeeling of metal and the shattering of glass and I was dead... Then I woke up, my skin was damp from light sweat and goosebumps raised along my arms, I wasn't boiling hot like I usually woke up. This nightmare was a lot different from the one I usually have but I have never had a dream like this one. I smelt it, a thick curling smopke, It wasn't coming from the house, so where was it coming from? My window was open, I never ever have my window open and I locked it earlier, my black curtains danced in the wind reaching towards me. I climbed out of my bed then looked at the area and saw a flickering fire and poofs of smoke rising, It was a party near the lake, I was known for never missing a party.
I put on my baggy grey and black floral trousers, a plain black vest which had sequins at the top and my tight fit black leather jacket with my furry ugg boots. I climbed out the window, but lodged a book so the window wouldn't close, slid down the roof then climbed onto the beams and slid down that. I began walking but I didn't go into the woods, I walked at the edge of the lake, I could see a large group of people, I couldn't really see their faces een though they were all tall and crouched down. The glow of the bonfire made their faces look sharp and half orange, I moved closer and closer hidding behind a few trees. I saw ash, he was sat on the log next to a few boys who were proberly around his age, I listened to the tales they were telling...
There are not many of us but with every generation we get stronger but not any wiser, It dates back to the first generation. There was a male wolf and a female wolf their life was happy in the heart of the wood, they slept, hunted and ate. But one day an unknown species arived, they were hairless, walked on two feet and carried around unknown things. They stole their prey, endangered them which made them feel the emotion hate and jealousy for the first time. The morning after the feeling of emotion they woke up hairless, deformed bodys which walked on two feet, they had become human. Outcasts to huans they made a comunity for all outcasts no matter what type so first it was werewolves, witches, shapeshifters and all natural creatures.
I got why he said they didn't get any wiser, two boys were fighting over the last cooked hotdog when there was plenty frozen, they were quite weird stories, maybe they were the failies ledgends. I took a step back, slightly afrid of them and their weird culture, I accidently snapped a twig and now faces turned towards the woods and few started to get up. I knocked into a girl, she was small nearly my height but taller, she was a very thin ginger girl with masses of freckles.
Ashs P.O.V
We all heard the twig snap but it must be Nikki or the Henderson twins after all nobody lived close to her except the Blackthornn family but I had checked if they were awake and they were all asleep. I heard screaming.
Elena P.O.V
The girl began to screa and screech an unknown language, I began to run because I was afraid. I could hear angry yells, looking behind me I tripped over a root in the ground but now they had seen me. So I did the only thing I could do. I grabbed the tree, hugging it dearly then started to pull myself up, stepping on branches and reaching for others. I heard ash yell," Come down Elena, It's just me, please come down before you get hurt," I was lodged near the top, stuck as well but I couldn't go down, reaching for my phone I called my brother but nobody picked up.I pressed cancel then surrendered to utter defeat and rang james. " What do you want, Elena,. it's three am, oh let me guess your lonely," the last part was sarcastic. Branches began to shake, two identical brothers were shaking the tree. I screamed and screamed the loudest I ever had, I heard
