Prologue
Betrayal- in my whole sixteen years of life I would have never expected to be hurt like this. Not by whom I've trusted my whole life, loved unconditionally, who I thought had loved me the same. Betrayal is hard but as always forgiveness is harder. Betrayal is like that I guess, it has a tendency to betray the betrayer. If only it was anyone else the traitor would be no more, but despite my anger and hurt I cannot bring myself to do that, nor can I see forgiveness in the near future. My life has finally past the dark ages, being a werewolf and all, had taken some adjusting. The relationship with a vampire didn't help either when I was first learning of the horrors of the paranormal. I was forced to go from a non-believer to being a part of it, in a few short minutes. The first six months were hard, harder than they had to be but as always my vampire came to the rescue and we both came out of it in one piece. Now the darkness is gone and replaced by the pleasantness of day. It seems that at least for the moment it is possible to live a happy life, not as easy as a human one but happy just the same. I was no longer in a world of the unknown and secrets. Though as impossible as it seems darkness lies lurking behind every corner...just waiting for it's time to shine.
1. Welcome Back
"Annie...wake up." I woke up to the sound of Alex's pleasant voice. A luxury I didn't get to experience that often. Werewolves have the benefit to only have to sleep once a week, Alex on the other hand- a vampire- didn't sleep at all. "Good morning sleepyhead." Alex greeted as I opened my eyes, it was still dark out but I could still see clearly. I reached up and pulled Alex's face closer to mine so I could kiss him.
"What time is it?" I asked groggily.
"Five in the morning, I didn't know if you were going to go home today or not? Plus it is the first day of school, I think I need some last minute lessons, it's been a long time since I ever set foot in a high school."
"You worry too much; I'll be with you all day. I promise I won't let you out of my sight, there will be no doing anything you'll regret later."
"Will I finally meet, Callie, Angela and Christie?"
"You bet!" I smiled; I had been waiting to introduce my friends to my boyfriend ever since the week before when we made up. They just learned my werewolf secret and it took some getting used to. They had just gotten past the nervous stage and were just moving into the curious phase. They always had new questions they wanted to ask. "I'm going to get ready, and then we both can head over to my parent's place."
"Sounds good, so Jessie still doesn't know that you moved out then?"
"Well sort of, I never really told her myself, she knows I'm gone a lot. I think she thinks that I'm living part time with you; she wonders why my parents allow it. I only really show up there at all because my parents doubt Jessie is very observant and asked me to at least try to play along. Really I doubt that but I'll do whatever my parents want, they've been good about this whole thing." As I was talking I was moving around my newly acquired stone cottage getting ready. It was nice to not have to fight for the bathroom; I was finally beginning to see it as my home. I had inherited it when my grandmother Rose was killed in battle just over three weeks before. I tried not to think about it much, we were never really on good terms that often, though I still secretly hoped that the theory was accurate. The theory states that when a werewolf dies a vampire is created; it's supposed to be the only sure way for a vampire to be created since they cannot be born. No one I know of has been able to prove the theory and even if it is true it isn't likely that Rose will remember me, but I can always hope. It took me longer than usual to find something to wear; it was the first day of school after all. Alex didn't seem to be having the same problem, but he looked perfect in anything. "Are you ready?" Alex asked.
