As I looked around scanning mysurrounding's. As I lift my eyes looking intently. I see movementby the nearby lake. As the fire light shows many shadows walkingaround. The breeze blows threw my beautiful golden fur, my earstwitch as I move my head around Picking up all the sounds onthe still night air.Feelings of a tickle in my throat caused me to softly clear mythroat. I tilted my head side to side cracking my neck. Lifting mynose high, I sniffed the air trying to smell anything familiar. Butall I picked up on was strange scents. Growling low I hear yellingin the distance.Crouching down on all fours I started on a dead run, keepinglow. I kept to the bushes and trees for cover. I reached the lake sidequickly. Then I stopped behind a large tree. And looked aroundthe shore line at the many Vampires, Demon's and Shape Shifter's.Many of their species were cross breeds. I could not determinetheir species or linage.I turned my attention to the handsome man standing onthe dock. Yelling at the others on the shore line! All the speciescontinued to ignore him. Darkwolf was screaming someone,anyone strong enough to take my life! I want my suffering to end!I want to put an end to my loneliness! Come fight me and killme I dare you!I turned my attention back to a huge Vampire covered inmuscles. He stripped off his shirt quickly. Silentkiller flexed hishuge muscled arms. Silentkiller shouted back at Darkwolf theman on the dock. I'm Silent killer I will take your life withpleasure! Just to shut you up!

And my tiny teal skirt with gold hoops holding the frontfrom the back. My tail swayed behind me in the breeze. I stoppedat the water's edge watching them do battle. The dock rockedsoftly back and fourth. With every force full blow of Silentkillerand Darkwolfs swords.Darkwolf was knocked force fully off the dock and into thewater. Landing fifteen feet away from the shore standing up. Ashe surfaced he clutched his sword and walked waded in the murkywater onto shore. His hazed eyes searched for a clear spot to climbup onto the muddy bank. As he staggered and slid on the mud afew times.Darkwolf climbed fully out of the water onto the shore.Darkwolf shook his long curly black hair. He looked directly at meand smiled. As my mouth dropped open, and my gaze wanderedover his half naked body. His body glistened in little tiny beadsof water that shimmered in the moon and fire light that fell uponhim.

As he lost balanceand scrambled to regain it. I pushed him hard with my back andbutt. He fell sideways with a thud. As I clawed the ground Iscurried to my feet. Just then I turned to face Silentkiller quickly.The tree swayed and he hit the ground in a cloud of dust. The dustsettled and he never moved.I ran over to him and touched his face. Silentkiller didn't evenflinch. I screamed Awe hell, he broke his neck! I pushed my clawsout slicing into my wrists.

As I tugged him upagainst my chest. I cradled him in my arms.As I whispered softly in Silentkiller's ear you're okay right? Iheld Silentkiller closer to me. Everyone around us was watchingus closely. Silentkiller smiled and said all dramatically. Why didI have you all worried?I said damn right you did! A good handsome man would havegone to waste! Right in front of my very eyes! That is never a goodthing. It would have been a crying shame. I smiled at him leaningback to help him sit up. I then looked into his eyes passionatelyand said. You sure you're okay baby?

That is mygift to you my sweet. I said as I leaned forward and kissed himsoftly on the lips.CHAPTER 3I stood up slowly tugging on him. I slid out from behindSilentkiller. I stood up stretching my muscles out. Reaching formy gear and smiling. I pulled a tiny little tie dyed sun dress frommy back pack. I grabbed a pair to matching thongs.Turning around to make sure there was not a crowd of peoplewatching me. I transformed into my human form. I stood beforeDarkwolf, Silentkiller and the guy who was cheering me fromthe crowd stark naked. I shook my long curly blond hair back andforth across my lower back. I shook out my sun dress like theyweren't even there.I slid my tiny sundress over my head. I noticed everyonebehind me watching my back. Then I looked up at the three ofthem. To see them standing there with their mouths droppedopen. Tiger the man who was cheering me on. During the fighthe was blushing several shades of red.Darkwolf was looking me over smiling sweetly with a twinklein his eyes and blushing. As our eyes met I also started to blush.Then Darkwolf smiled and nudged Silentkiller softly with hiselbow. Clearing his throat he said. Damn she was cute before, butnow! God damn your beautiful kitten!Silentkiller looked at Darkwolf with a stunned expression onhis face. Darkwolf looked back at me like I was prime rib. Andhe was a starving man in need of food. My gaze met his eyes andI cleared my throat. Sorry it's a force of habit. I bent over and slidmy thongs on. I stood up and smiled at them. I am sorry but I amnot ashamed of my body.They all said in unison. It is okay I didn't mind at all. I giggledand blushed looking at them. I playfully swatted at all of them.Then said my name is Melanie. But of course you all have differentnames for me. Silentkiller you called me sexy thing. Darkwolf youcalled me baby girl and kitten.And you I don't know your name. But you called me preciousprincess. He cleared his throat and said. My name is Tiger mylady. And I did call you precious princess. I looked up at him andsmiled. I like Tiger it suits you. You're sleek and graceful and youreyes don't miss a thing. Just like a tiger, so it really does suit youwell. I giggled and looked at him sweetly.I took a few steps towards them. I stopped in front of Darkwolf.I tugged on the hem of my sundress saying softly. You are realhandsome. As I reached out to softly touch his cheek. I leaned inand ran my face across his chest. Taking in his scent and lickingmy bottom lip. I looked up at his throat. Then up at his beautifulgolden eyes.I blushed and walked around him slowly looking him overfrom head to toe. And I again licked my bottom lip. I reachedout and touched his muscled arms. Darkwolf shivered under mycaressing fingers. I caught my bottom lip between my teeth. Ishifted from foot to foot. I ran his silky smooth skin under myfingers.I cleared my throat and said. Oh you are so beautiful and yourskin tone is so gorgeous. God! It's silky smooth skin covering steelmuscles. I could almost swoon over you baby. I blushed again andlooked up at him. I want to kiss you so badly. It's unreal, the urgeto wrap my arms around your neck and kiss you. And get lost inyour muscled arms. And kiss you so passionately I would melt.I pulled my gaze away from his pouty lips. God they looked sokissable. I looked at Silentkiller said sweetly you soar love I h hopenot! I changed the subject way from Darkwolf. I really loved theexcitement of the fight. I don't get a chance much to do any realbattling.
