~Tiffany~ I felt groggy as I tried to open my eyes, the throbbing headache hitting me like a sledgehammer. I tried to reach up to hold my head, but my muscles were stiff and I could not move.My half-opened eyes flung open in despair and to my surprise, I was being tied to a tree. Trepidation was through me, as I realized that I was trapped.I struggled to free myself but it was to no avail, the rope was tight! The more I tried to free myself the more I felt suffocated.I paused when I saw the creatures getting closer to my direction. The once beautiful Varmint looked so scary as its legs weren't on the floor, but were up in the sky. The wings I was unaware of were being flapped graciously as its tail wiggled vigorously.This is so tremendous and incredible.Never in my life have I seen a creature like this, it was- unsettlingAdrenaline rushed as I gulped down nothing; One moment I wanted to stay and the other just wanted to get out of here.The moment the creature got a little b

~AJ~ I crept back into the dark room, but I was summoned by my dad as if he knew I'd disappeared. I wondered what he would say, my blood ran cold at that thought. Entering his chambers my guilty eyes met his stern gaze.“Any news about the creature?” he inquired, I guess that Jackob had covered up for me using the creatures as an excuse, which somehow lessened the burden. My gaze still not leaving his, I replied,“Yes, the creature had some problems with controlling her shape-shifting activities, but- there is no need for you to worry because she has already changed back into her human form,” Dad took a deep breath as he relaxed comfortably on his chair.He was at ease.“Now where is she? I supposed at the infirmary or perhaps the guest house?” His voice is now soothing.“No-” Dad frowned at my words.“She’s with the Chester's, The wizard house,” I added with a fixed face.Father's eyes bulged out as I was forced to retreat backward, “What!” He exclaimed. The disappointment an

~Tiffany~“Tiffany-” Dad's voice brought me out of my thoughts.“Um- Uh... Dad,” I stuttered as I dropped my fork.“What's wrong Tiffany, I was asking how your day was in school but you spaced out, is anything the matter?” Dad asked with worry laced in his voice.I was actually thinking about AJ throughout the dinner and Dad probably figured it out.I coughed lightly and smiled, “It’s nothing,” I tell him, but he does not look convinced.Sighs…“I'm worried,” I say to my dad. “I'm worried about how weak I am. Last time, when I had an encounter with Denali in her siragon form, I was completely defenseless. If she had intended to kill me, tell me, Dad, how would I be able to survive? I need to be able to use my powers, I am a witch after all,”I paused, breathing deeply. “But what's the difference between me and a Human, anyway?” I huffed, that wasn't entirely a lie, being weak also baffled me.I hate it, hate being weak!A long silence filled the room, Dad's gaze never leaving mine, h

~AJ~ I leaned against the window frame, staring out into the darkness as usual. Tiffany's bedroom was empty as I had expected, I had overheard my mate telling her friends about the initiation into the circle that was going to happen tonight. She was so excited that she forgot about my existence. It's not that I am bothered or something, I just feel…I sighed, the only sound I heard was the rustling of trees outside which was satisfactory enough to calm my nerves, my mind wandered back to the conversation I had with my dad earlier.“Bring that creature back to my den!” The more I thought about it the more uneasy I felt.“AJ” The voice was clear and strong and it snapped me out of my daze.Shit!I raised my head to see her standing in the window across from me.A cold chill ran down my spine and it looked like I had been caught doing something I shouldn't have.I was so short of words as I gulped down nothing, I blamed myself for being so lost in thought that I hadn't even heard her

~Tiffany~As I climbed the stairs to the top floor, my hands trembled as I wondered whether AJ would show up or not. During biology class, I sent him a message on paper telling him to come after the class. My heart was pounding as I reached the top floor, taking a deep breath I opened the door, with my hopes high.A smile tugged at the corner of my mouth as I saw him right in front of me. He had his normal straight face on, his aura was chilling but cool and his jet-black hair made him look so daring the way he fixed his honey eyes on me made my heart flutter. His hands were inside his pocket as he stood still.“You can stare all you want later, but not now,” His voice disrupted my thoughts, my face flushed, I coughed lightly trying to comport myself, also trying to look away from him before I started thinking dirty about him.“I have something to say… more like I want to ask you a question,” He said after a long pause. I batted my eyes, still fighting the crazy urge to think dirty a
