Chapter One Seth’s POV
I saw the young woman trip over a stone, she fell to her hands and knees, it looked like she was carrying something. I heard her murmuring comfort to the little bundle of rags she was holding. I stepped forward trying to get a better look, I stood on a twig ‘Snap’ it echoed through the forest. The woman’s head jerked up to where I was standing, I looked straight into her eyes, she looked frightened, but I saw a glimmer of hope as she was eyeing me up and down. She had lovely jet black curly hair and piercing steel eyes. She slowly stood up and slowly walked up to me. “D-do you speak English?” She started looking around her, as if someone would jump out. “Yes, I speak English” I frowned at her. She bit her lips nervously hands tightening on the rags she was holding, her eyes started to glisten with tears. She then pulled the rags away from her to look at it’s face, she smiled lovingly at it. She let out a long-drawn out sigh. “Do you think you could take my little Phoenix where ever you are going?” She looked at me pleadingly. I flinched. She wants me to take care of a baby? Oh god, I might act and look older then I am but I’m only 6. I nodded slowly looking at the bunch of rags she was holding, I couldn’t even see it’s gender although it didn’t smell human… Oh no, what if its an alien? She waved me over to her, I approached her cautiously. “Her name is Rashel, she is 2… She hasn’t got a second name, I don’t want her to have one or try to find me in the future. It could be dangerous for her and I could possibly be dead and I don’t want her to live through that. Her second name can be Phoenix.. Yeah.. I like that, will you please look after her?” I made my face have no emotion, I can’t show emotion, I can’t be weak. “Yes I will… But.. Erm.. What is she?” I looked down at the little face of the little 2 year old, she had a podgy face, big steel eyes and brown curly hair. I looked back up at the woman, she looked slightly shocked. “She is a werewolf” She looked down at the floor and handed me the bundle of cloths. Rashel struggled a bit but didn’t make a sound. “I guess I can handle her. I’m a werewolf myself. Whats your name and who is after you?” I looked sternly up to her. If I was going to help this toddler live I at least want to let her know who and what her mum looked like and that it was the only option the mother had. “My name is Yvette, I am being chased by her father, he is the werewolf. I was abducted from my family and raped by him when I became pregnant he decided to keep me when Rashel was born I had to run away, I have been looking everywhere for a place to look after her but now I realise I must go back and set him of course while someone else looks after her. I love my baby and never let the wretched man take her! Understood?” I could see the fury burning in her eyes as she spoke of this man and I could see she cared greatly for Rashel. “I will never give her to any man, I will look after her and bring her up” She smiled down at me and petted my head. “Just tell me, why is a small chap like yourself here?” I saw a look of pity cross her face but she quickly hid it. “Parents got killed by vampires, I was hidden away. Got put into adoption and ran away.” I looked away. I hate thinking about my parents and how they were murdered. I thought werewolves were all great. Turns out not all of them are.. Maybe it depends o the person not the race. Her face looked pain for awhile. She handed me a small backpack. “That has all the money I have it should be about £1000, some clothes for her and some snacks and drinks. Please look after her, I must go now and face my fears” She tried to put on a brave smile but failed miserably, she leaned down and kissed Rashel on the forehead and turned to leave. “Good luck” I called after her. “I think you will need it more” She continued walking. I looked down at the little girl in my hands… What am I going to do with you Rashel Phoenix? I smiled slightly, she looked so cute when she was asleep. I turned around and headed towards my den, hopefully Chase wouldn’t mind.

Chapter two.
pSeth's POV.
I looked down at the little girl in my hands… What am I going to do with you Rashel Phoenix? I smiled slightly, she looked so cute when she was asleep. I turned around and headed towards my den, hopefully Chase wouldn’t mind. I walked slowly through the forest making my way back to the den, keeping sign of any intruders. All I know is that there are supernatural’s in the world… I’m not sure how many but I do know vampires and werewolves exist and that Rashel was probably the only female to be alive… I don’t even think that she is full werewolf she smells different to me or Chase. I looked down at her, her eyes were wide open, she had steel eyes just like her mother, she was adorable.. When she is older she will be a stunner. I looked away and looked at our den this would probably be our home for quite awhile now., I just hope nothing bad happens. The den was a big cave filled with dead grass and branches. We had two hammocks on either side or the ‘room’. Chase was leaning back on one staring up at the ceiling. His black hair was a big mess and his blue eyes seemed intense, he always seemed intense when he zoned out. “What have you got now Seth?” He looked over at me and to the bundle of rags in my arms. I stiffened a bit and pulled her closer to my chest. Chase let out a small chuckle he was 10 but acted much older we both did we had bad upbringings and had seen something traumatic, and we have lived on our own for about 4 years. “Now, now kiddo lets see what you got there, promise I won’t hurt it” He gave me a slight wink making me not trust him. He started to approach me with a predator like grace, he gave me sneer and held his hands out to see what it was. I stepped back and crouched in a defensive stance snarling. He looked at me a bit shocked but he maintained his balance. I continued snarling at him, baring my teeth this time to make sure he got the message to back off. Rashel started to stir in my arms, she started to cry. I stopped snarling and pulled Rashel away from my chest to look at her. Her face was starting to go red while her hands turned into big balls of fury. Oh god… What do I do? What do I do? I looked up at Chase, his face was a mixture of shock, annoyance but also fondness. “Please brother help me? I have no idea what to do… I’m suppose to look after her but I can’t do it on my own” I started to bite my lip nervously. “Of course I will Seth. But you must learn hoe to look after her as well, I guess you could call us a small pack now, ey?” He gave me a slight wink and took Rashel from me. He started to bounce her up and down lightly while humming a soft tune to her. She seemed to calm down almost instantly. The look on his face was a mixture of happiness and awe. “So… What’s her name then?” He looked at me but he seemed to have turned to be a lot nicer towards me. “Her name is Rashel Phoenix” I looked back at the small toddler in his arms wanting to hold her again. I never knew I could be so protective it shocked me and I think it shocked my brother also. “You know that is one of the most strangest names I have ever heard Rashel cool I can understand that but Phoenix for a second name. No I don’t think so… Maybe that can be her middle name.” I looked at him for a few moments thinking about it. “What would her second name be then?” “How about Swain? Rashel Phoenix Swain it sounds unusual but special”

Chapter Three.
Seth's POV
I looked at him for a few moments thinking about it. “What would her second name be then?” “How about Swain? Rashel Phoenix Swain it sounds unusual but special” “I really like it.. It’s catchy and it suits her.” I couldn’t help but smile, it was a beautiful name for a beautiful toddler. Chase couldn’t help but grin at me when he saw me staring of drowned in my own thoughts. I let out a slight yawn and stretched me arms above my head stretching. I looked over to Chase he seemed silent and deep in thought, he looked troubled, that scared me, he never looked trouble unless something was seriously wrong. “Seth, Rashel doesn’t smell like the average werewolf does she?” He quickly looked up at me, almost as if he was seeking my reassurance. “Well.. Erm.. I don’t think she does smell like a werewolf it is kind of more sweeter then a normal werewolves scent, and I don’t think it is because she is female because she hasn’t become of age just yet.” Chase looked at me sceptically and nodded contemplating on what I had just said. “To be honest I think she is part vampire as well it is the same type of sweet smell they give off but because she is more werewolf then vampire I think the werewolf musky earth smell rules most of it out.” I looked at him sternly, for him to say something like that is shocking me and my brother have never really had to talk a lot we could just use instincts and get on with things, I think we don’t talk because we don’t want to get on the subject of our parents. But I don’t mind anymore, things are going to change now. “You don’t mind her having some vampire in her do you?” I looked up at my big brother hopefully, I want to look after this young toddler as much as I can, and nothing will stop me. “No it doesn’t, I think that we will have to watch out for her bites just encase she gets some venom in us though” He smiled at me and handed Rashel over to me lightly. I looked back down at her, her eyes were wide open and she was staring at the ceiling… I wonder what she is thinking about…

Chapter 4
Rashel’s POV
I looked over at Seth sleeping, he hasn’t been happy lately and I have no idea why he was at the age of 8 her looked like he was about 13 though, werewolves age fast until the age of 10 then it slows down, and sometimes you can get big growth spurts. Chase was sleeping on the other hammock on the other side of the room slightly snoring, sometimes it could get really loud, I didn’t like it when that happened, it made me not able to get to sleep, I like my sleep. I looked around the den at the blank dreary stone walls all we had in there were beds and water, it wasn’t very appealing. I looked over to the mass of brown hair where Seth was sleeping. Seth had blonde hair at a medium length and strikingly beautiful blue eyes, they reminded me of the sparkling spring not far from here. I sighed a bit, I wanted to go out and explore and bring something colourful back to the den, but I know if I do go Seth or Chase will shout at me. I pouted a little. I don’t like Seth and Chase angry or upset with me. But I sighed and gave into my more rebellious side. I could feel adrenaline rushing through my body as I started to leave the den, I accidentally kicked a small rock. Chase’s snoring stopped, I held my breath, the snoring started to continue, he probably thought I was messing around. I looked over as Seth and couldn’t sense in his change of breathing so I thought it was safe to go. I quickly dashed out of the den and into the small clearing in the forest. I took a deep inhale of everything around me, I loved the smell of the forest, the smell of damp grass, the smell of wild flowers, and the smell of freedom. This was our territory and our territory only and also this was our home were we felt safe, protected and free. I walked on for a bit trying to find something that would amuse me. I then saw a high brown fence, walked over to it and a patch of green grass, covered in beautiful wild flowers, the fence had big enough gaps for me to squeeze through. I squeezed through the gaps with no problem whatsoever and walked into the large field filled with grass and lots of colourful flowers, they smelt wonderful. Maybe I should get some for the den? I think I will… Might make it smell and look better. I started picking up lots of different colours, the main colours I picked up were blue, red and purple; the reason being was because purple is Seth’s favourite colour, red it Chase’s favourite colour and blue is my favourite colour. I really do hope they like it. I didn’t have a bag so I had to try and juggle the bundle that I already had in one of my small hands and try and pick more up with my other. I may not have small hands but I made sure I got as many as I possibly could. I even started bunching both hands together and try and pick more, but that wasn’t easy so I gave up soon after trying. The flowers were quite big compared to my small body. I was already 4 but I was growing fast, not fast enough for Chase’s liking though, he calls me Mini Phoenix when trying to wind me up… Pfft, I‘ll show him one day and try to make him proud, he wants me to be strong so I can look after myself and not depend on Seth so much, I can’t help it and it isn’t my fault I’m too small and I’m too young anyways, at least that is what Seth says. A strong breeze blew my way I shuddered a bit and a scent caught my concentration. I felt my hackles rise and a soft growl of a warning erupt my throat. The scent was of a male human, me, Seth and Chase had a strong rule in our pack. Do NOT talk to humans. Nothing against them or anything, but they just can’t be trusted and in wolf form we are the main predators they like to hunt down with their Basset Hounds, horses and more humans with guns. Humans always dislike something that is better then them or slightly different, that is why we stay hidden away from them. Not giving them the chance to hurt us in anyway or form. What Seth and Chase want was to find a portal to the supernatural lands, at least their we would all be safe and protected and not to worry about much. I didn’t care where we went as long as I was with them. I heard footsteps start to approach, I tensed and crouched down, I took a deep breath and smelt the human behind me. Oh god, please no…

Rashel’s POV
I felt a strong, heavy hand land on my left shoulder, it gently spun me round. I looked up to see a tall teenager, he looked about 15. He smiled down at me, I wasn’t sure what type of smile it was but I hoped it was friendly. “What’s a beautiful young girl like you doing in this field all on your own?” I really did not like that tone of voice he used on me, it made me shiver, I was scared. “I was picking flowers” I simply stated. He had quite a big grin on his face. This made me frown. Seth… Where are you? Please, please find me. I was truly scared I haven’t met another human before let alone spoke to anyone but Chase and Seth. I tried to take a step back, but the hand on my shoulder tightened. He then put his other hand on my other shoulder. He leaned down and smirked in my face. “I don’t think you are going anywhere sweetie” I took a big gulp, I shot my head up to the sky and yet out a rallying howl which I know Seth and Chase would hear no matter how deep they were in there slumbers. The boy quickly slapped his hand over my mouth, I started to panic. I had no idea what I was going to do or how I was going to by myself sometime. He quickly put and arm around my waist and lifted me over his shoulder and started jogging towards the forest. I started kicking and screaming for him to put me down, I also knew the more noise I made the more the guys would notice me. The guy picked up his pace as I got louder he quickened his pace. I started to cry, I have never felt so helpless and scared in my life before. All I wanted was to have Seth wrapping his arms around me and never letting me go, he always makes me feel safe. The guy threw me down on the floor and gave me a sadistic grin, he was clearly enjoying this rather more then he thought. I let out a high pitched scream which ended up into a load aching sobs, I have never been so scared in my life. The guy was stood there laughing and chuckling at my distress. He stopped laughing and crouched to my eye level. “I think we are going to have some fun aren’t we?” He gave me a wink as he grabbed me wrist with a painful grip. I heard a loud snarl behind me and a crashing of bushes I took a deep inhale of the scent it was Chase, he quickly pounced on the guy pinning him to the ground. I was still crying on the floor, I started to hug my knees shaking. I felt long arms wrap around me. “It’s okay Nixi, I got you.” He gently picked me up, I buried my head into his collar bone as he started to walk away he was heading to the den. He got in his hammock and pulled me against him and clamed me down enough to go to sleep. The last thought before I went to sleep was… What did Chase do?
