Erin's POV:

My hands wrap around the mans neck, tightening until he gasps for breath and clutches desperately at my hands. My vamp growls getting bored with playing with her food. Slamming the helpless human against the wall his cries are cut short when my fangs rip through his jugular. His body slumps to the floor.

I gaze down at the pathetic pile in disgust. A female whimper reaches my ears.

Ah yes.

I look over at the frail body of the woman who the man had been attacking before I had jumped in. She clutches her knees, failing miserably to stop them from violently shaking. Tears flow helplessly down her face.

My vamp sneers. Pitiful.

I find myself at the end of the alley, standing absently lost in thought. The soft voice of the woman has my head turning in her direction. She gasps and I can only imagine that my red eyes pierce through the dark alley.

I nod stiffly at her whispered 'thank you'.

My vamp doesn't know how to feel. She pitied the young woman but was also disgusted at how frail and helpless she was. In her distress at the new feelings I take back control.

My mind thinks back to the last few days. The floor sways from under me as my legs give out.

What have I become?

I hear her whisper 'strong'.

"Get out of my head!!" I scream into the darkness, my words echoing eerily into the night. Her chuckles reverberate in my head.

"Get out. Get out. Get. Out."

"Erin?" I look up when I hear Lukas' voice. There he stands with a few other vampires. My vamp tries to fight for control but I push her back. She needs to know her place. This thought makes her hiss and growl in anger.

My distraction has allowed the group to creep closer. Their eyes watch me calculatively.

They make me feel like a monster.

I wipe the moisture from my face.

"Pup?"

"What." My voice sounds detached and not all like my own.

My vamp sensing my distress takes over and I let her. My hands form into fists.

When I open my eyes they are red and glaring at the elder and his coven.

"Don't come any closer." I bare my fangs in warning.

They have almost reached me.

"Let's go home." My harsh laugh has him flinching.

"We don't have a home."

" Of course you have. You're one of us now."

I tense.

"Not by choice." He sighs sadly.

"I know young one. Let us help you. Give Erin back control." After a few minutes of staring at Lukas and his coven members until they start to glance at each other in nervousness, my vamp finally hands over control.

I grip my hair in frustration.

"She is fighting you, isn't she?" My eyes flicker and he nods taking it as an affirmative.

"I killed them."

"I know."

"I didn't want to. I couldn't help it."

He smiles in understanding.

"Believe me I know. A newborn vampire is so strong it takes months to become successfully able to control the need to feed and destroy." I can't help but flinch.

I take a minute to think about recent events.

"She has gotten better. She's not fighting me...as much.."

"That's good. It won't be long before you'll be able to live together as one. Of course it might be a bit harder since you are an unheard of hybrid."

I nod deep in thought.

Someone moves in the group, whispering in Lukas' ear. He nods turning his attention back to me.

"Come little one. Time to go."

~~~~~~~~~

I returned with him. I wanted to be normal again. Or as normal as I could be. And I needed his help in order to achieve this.

He spoke about his mate with such love a part of me melted craving what he had. His voice filled the silence. I was grateful.

Upon arrival of the coven house, Bella met us at the door engulfing me in a hug much to my surprise. I tensed at first but relaxed as her familiar calm aura engulfed me. She fluttered around me checking unnecessarily for injuries.

Once satisfied my arm was almost pulled from it's socket as she rambled on about how worried she was about me while pulling me through the corridors.

I tried to ignore the looks of passing coven members. My vamp feeling antsy forces my eyes to change sort of like a flashing warning. It works. They scatter whispering and pointing but at least there were less of them around.

Lukas directs us to his office. We come to a big, brown wooden door that screams regal. Stepping into his workspace I gaze around analysing my surroundings. A new trait I picked up from my vampiric side.

The coven leaders voice cuts through my scrutiny of his office.

"Take a seat."

"No thanks." My vamp smirks at the annoyed expression that he tries to cover at being ignored.

"Right. There are some things we need to discuss."

I raise an eyebrow in question. He coughs looking awkward for the first time since I met him. I can't help but smirk.

"Yes, well now that you are half vampire, there are things you need to know about. People you need to know about." My ears pick up a change in his voice, instantly knowing that I wasn't going to like what I was going to hear next.

Maybe I should be sitting down.

"Like werewolves..vampires have a hierarchy. We have Royals too."

"You do?" His eyes widen at the clear surprise in my question.

"Well of course. They protect and lead us just like your-"

A growl unconsciously slips through my lips. This time from my wolf. She hated thinking about the people who were supposed to protect us as he so nicely put it.

I shrug helplessly signalling him to continue. He seems flustered as he tries to pick up where he stopped.

"Erin. They have heard of you. Word has spread about the first ever wolf/vamp hybrid. They have also heard of your recent ....activities and well- they want to meet the person who almost exposed our existence to the humans."

* "So dramatic."

I must agree with her on some degree. Focusing my stare on him he begins to fidget nervously.

"When?"

He doesn't answer as fast as I would like. My vamp itches to show herself but I hold her back.

"Next week."

"Alrighty then, if that is all?" I casually walk to the window. I feel his confusion roll off him in waves. Ignoring him and everything around me I open the window throwing myself out.

I distantly hear Lukas mutter "Not again.", but the approaching ground grabs my full attention.

I shift midair into my wolf, her glossy coat shimmering in the sun. I sprint into the woods my paws gradually leading me away from my problems.
