to some distant place and she seemed to be making all the wrong decisions tonight. Maybe having a clear mind was what was making her think unclearly. She didn’t know what was going on but the only thing she wanted now was a nice long bath and deep sleep.
She glanced at Kristian, who hadn’t said a word since he got into her car. Mr. Talkative had gone quiet.
“Are you alright?”
Kristian looked at her. “Yes, why do you ask?”
“I don’t know. You have gotten quiet. Thinking of something you might want to share?”
Kristian gave her that drop dead smile.
“Trust me, it’s nothing. I have a lot on my mind lately. My job is about to make a hell of a turn around.”
“What’s about to happen?”
“There is going to be a new worker. She doesn’t know it yet, but she’s about to have a more important job than the president.”
“The president? How is that?”
Kristian looked at her for a moment then looked out the window.
“She will have to protect a lot of people by fighting evil and making dangerous decisions. She will not like it at first, but soon she will know this is what she is destined to do and will accept it. Hopefully.” Kristian pointed. “Make a right here.”
Raven turned down the street where Kristian directed her to go.
“Well, if it is so dangerous, why would anyone take that type of job? I understand you want to save the world, but why put yourself in a situation where you can die at any moment?”
“She will not really have a choice in the matter. The danger will follow her, and soon she will have to accept her job.”
Raven slammed on the breaks. “Are you trying to tell me something? Because you are freaking me out a little. You are talking about dangerous situations and other things as if I should be worried about having you in my car.”
Kristian chuckled at her, which made her think giving him a ride was a bad idea.
“Raven, I assure you that I am in no way putting you in danger. It’s hard sometimes for a person to just tell the newly born about what is going to happen to them. Trainers are very few and many don’t know what to expect in their lives. They live their lives in danger and if they don’t know what they are or who they are, then they are killed.”
“I don’t under — ”
Kristian growled loudly, making Raven jump. The sound resembled an angry dog about to attack.
“Raven, drive now.”
Raven was taken aback by the tone in Kristian’s voice.
“What…”
“Don’t question me. Just go, now!”
“What the hell!” Raven screamed as the side window of her car broke and her body was pulled out of the window by a large hairy arm.
Raven clawed at the arm around her neck but doubted she was getting any results from it.
“Kristian!” Raven screamed and fell to the mucky ground.
Raven opened her eyes to see Kristian jumping over her car and towards whatever had grabbed her. Raven could see that Kristian’s eyes were now a dark, red color and he had long teeth in his mouth that looked like…like…fangs. What the hell was going on? What the fuck was Kristian?
A loud snarl erupted from behind her and the next thing she saw was Kristian’s lifeless body being tossed back across her car.
The hair on Raven’s head was jerked back and she reached up, grabbing her hair to keep it from being torn from her scalp. Whoever had her hair pulled her away from the car.
“Let me go! Let me go!”
A snarl came as a reply. Raven tried to fight the pull but she couldn’t. She was pulled up from the ground like a rag-doll and turned to face—what the fuck was it? A wolf? But she didn’t know of any wolves that stood up on two legs like this thing. She didn’t even knew wolves got this big.
It gripped her arms and held her off the ground. Raven stared into its golden eyes and did what any woman in her predicament would do.
She screamed.
The wolf howled the moment she started to scream and she stopped.
It leaned forward and sniffed her. Raven
