Katra yawned and stretched up on her toes and reached towards the sky with her arms and fingers outstretched. She smiled when she heard small pops and clicks from her bones and joints. She loved strectching this way because it allowed her to stretch all the muscles in her body at the same time. Plus, it felt rather good to stretch. It was one of her hobbies before she went outside.
After she was done with her stretching to looked around the park with suspicious eyes. It was only twilight but she knew those vampires would already be stalking around in the shadows. She was alert for any movement and any scream that would be in the immediate area. If any vampire tried to attack...she would know. And she would kill them.
But she had to get out of the way at the moment. She was right in the middle of the park roads made from gravel and people were complaining at her. They wanted to get home. She rolled her eyes and moved into the grass with folded arms and just watched the ungrateful humans pass by. Sometimes she didnt understand them. But she would protect them anyway. She just kept her sisters memory burning in her.

Why she was back here, Ayden had no idea. It was the park not too far from her old home, the home that was hers when she lived with Isolde Grey, her birth mother. But now her home was with her pack, that pack that took her in. She was still so new, but she had been there long enough to know most of the members. Now, all she needed to do was learn the basics, and it seemed like everyone in the pack was ready and willing to help her.
Of course, Ayden had always dreamed of the day when she would find the man who originally changed her to teach her, but she knew that the chances of that were slim to none. Ayden’s sandal clad feet dragged in the wet grass. The condensation on the green blades was cold on her toes, but felt so good.
Up ahead, she saw a familiar head among the crowds. Most people were leaving now, most humans. They were smart, they probably all felt the danger of the night as the sun set. Ayden could still remember the days when she would roam the night as a human and know that the night didn’t belong to her, but something much darker. But now the night was hers. Approaching the woman, Ayden silently stood by her side and watched the humans walk by. Ayden saw how this woman was loathing the humans…
“Interesting sight, isn’t it Katra?” Ayden said, addressing the woman next to her. She had met her when she was introduced to the pack, but didn’t really know her too much yet. Ayden could feel the presence of other unearthly being around them, but they were hidden by the humans that were roaming, heading to their safe homes. “It is almost as if they now the night isn’t theirs, that they don’t belong, that it isn’t safe for them. I remember how only two years ago I was just like them…” Ayden’s voice trailed off as she looked over to Katra.

Katra turned when she heard another voice. She wasnt surprised though. She had smelt Aydens scent mixed in to the human ones. And so she knew she couldnt be far off. But she smiled at the other werewolf who was new to the pack and chuckled at her words. She knew them to be true just as much as she knew that vampires were cold blooded killers.
She shook her head though with a slight laugh. Her hair flew about her face and she pushed the tawny mess behind her shoulder. "Yeah. But some humans just dont know when to take a hint that they should leave. We control the night along with the vampires but what they dont know is the war between the two."
She shook her head again and looked at the humans that were still around and sitting on benches. She knew a few would stick around and those were the humans that fell victim to vampires. All humans had that instinct to stay away from people like Katra and Ayden and the vampires. But they both had a weapon that took those instincts and shoved them aside.
They were beautiful. They all were amazingly gorgeous and so for the sake of beauty..a human would shove the fear aside and approach. It was horrible to watch a vampire take that into play but they did all the time. Especially males. They would seem so hypnotic and entrancing and then in the last second the human girl had fangs to their neck. It made questions appear.
Did vampires even love? Did they have girlfriends and boyfriends or just friends at all? Or was there no heart in them at all. She sighed and glanced at Ayden. "I have been a werewolf for a while. And even now I hate the vampires. They kill without reason and they enjoy doing it. They are beyond evil, and should be killed off the face of the earth."

The thought of evil vampires always brought Ayden back to her time in America when she had a first hand experience with the creature. Even before she knew anything, she knew that the thing was something she needed to destroy. Instinctively, Ayden’s hand went to her neck where two little scars lay. The scars that showed she was still weak.
”Vampires all need to burn,” Ayden simply stated with malice laced in her voice. Her free hand turned into a fist as she thought of how that dumb thing showed her weakness, and how she needed to change it.
”Humans are simply naïve to what goes around right under their noses. They don’t know the truth, only what the read in stories or what they are told from movies. It’s sad…” Ayden shook her head as she looked at the few humans who were still in the open. Don’t they feel that sense of danger? Don’t they know the eyes of being who wanted to feed from them probably rested on their pulses right now?
”I can remember not knowing. It’s a curse and a gift to know about this dark world now. But I still don’t know everything.”

Katra just stood there and listened to Ayden speak. Everything the girl said was true. Humans were in a way stupid to not realize that they were always in danger. Even in the day the vampires stayed in their houses and watched the city busy at work. If they took a liking to a specific human they would track that human until they were dead. Until they were bleeding dead in their arms.
It reminded her of her her own famil's death. That vampire ahd been watching them for a while and had taken a wanting to them. So he had chosen his night and struck out. And now her family was dead. She would have been dead if Patrick hadnt saved her. But he had and she was forever grateful. She owed him her life.
She sighed though and shook her head. She could hear the malice in her tone from the speaking of vampires and she noticed Ayden touch her neck where the bite mark was. Katra herself had taken quit a few bites from those damn vampires. But they went away with time. "I agree with you. Vampires should siappear. They dont deserve to live." She muttered.
She then turned so she was facing Ayden and sighed again. "I dont think we ever find out the whole truth about this world. At least not until our final breath. Us werewolves grow older and die while the vampires dont age from the day they are changed. So they may or may not know what its like in this world. But its always a mystery."
She shrugged and then added, "I was introduced into this darkness when I was eight. A vampire attacked and killed all of my family. Patrick saved me and then brought me to the pack o live with them. When I was sixteen he changed me. And I have hunted those bastard creatures for years. I have so much blood on my hands it could cover the streets."

Ayden looked over to Katra with nothing but sympathy in her eyes. It seemed as if all the people in her pack had stories dealing with the loss of their family which caused them to have hate towards vampires. Ayden, well, her past was taken from her by what she is now, a werewolf. The man who change her did it on a whim it seemed like and probably thought that Ayden could simply move on only having this extra ability. But once you put a wolf alone, they can’t survive. And Ayden realized that, the hard way. But now she had a pack to protect her and teach her all she needed to know.
”I’m so sorry Katra. My loss…was my father a few years ago. He was cheating on my mom and left her and now she’s a wreck. It was me trying to escape that hell hole that got me here. The man who changed me just drew me in…after it was done he told me what I was and left.” Ayden sighed, remember that night, that first night of her change. ”I’m just glad I have a pack and a real family now.’ She said, smiling to Katra.
Ayden could feel the eyes. The humans who were smart and leaving sometimes would look at her and Katra, something in their eyes…Of course, they didn’t know what they truly were, but they did sense something. Their instinct told them they were dangerous, that they were too beautiful to be human. And it made some of them walk faster, but some of them stared for a bit. ”The human instincts are interesting, are they not?” Ayden asked Katra, an air of fake innocence in her voice.

Katra could see the sympathy in Aydens eyes. She knew half the packs stories and most of them werent good ones. Some here and there had happy childhoods and loving parents. But most didnt. She knew she wasnt the only one to have a problem with vampires in her past and that was drove her to the hate deep inside her. When she had said her hands were covered with blood from those she had killed she meant it. She wasnt a goodie goodie. No. Far from it. She was to the core when it came to vampires.
But she was loving to her pack and she would do anything for them. And as she listened to Aydens story her eyes filled with sympathy for her fellow pack member. She put her hand gently on her shoulder and said, "Im sorry about your father. And for the one who changed you. He really is missing out on a wonderful thing. I can tell your a great person." She smiled softly and then looked back at the streets.
She could still see humans out and she wanted to run up to them and tell them how stupid they were. They should listen to that instinct deep in them that told them to run from the night. Kids were the smartest. Afraid of the dark until the parents beat it out of them. It wasnt smart to do that. But she wasnt one to tell humans how to raise their kids. "Yep. Humans are very interesting."
