Hunted

Trapped... or Rescued?

RECAP:

To our increasing confusion, the strange man began laughing. WTF IS HIS PROBLEM???

*Sam* 

We all exchange looks of confusion. He sobers up after a minute of psychotic laughter, glancing at my scrunched up face. He heaves an exasperated sigh and enlightens us.

"You guys seem so hooked up on my being the enemy that you fail to realize that I am your only escape route," he says smirking at me. "No girlie, I don't need to be introduced, as you have figured out already I have been keeping track of you three so I know that you are Sam, this" he points at one brother, "is James, and this," he gestures to the other boy," is Jasper, whom you tease to no end. He likes to return the favor too, am I right?" He says, turning to the man in question.

My eyes widen as I think about what he just said. How did he know what I was thinking? His eyes snap to mine, daring me to look away, and, looking quite amused, he opens his mouth again.

"You asked me."

"No I didn't!"

James clears his throat, mumbling something to me incoherently. My face crumples in confusion.

"What was that?"

"uh... Well you do kinda have a habit of speaking your mind, sometimes a little TOO clearly..."I gasp, how could I be so stupid as to voice all my thoughts like that? Gosh, I have problems... Oh well, I'm only human. Now that I'm on problems, it's a good thing I don't have a mate or the poor guy would get an ear full... I mean since my thoughts are so random and I spend half my time thinking...

You see, mates can hear each others' thoughts. As well as feel their feelings. But you would feel a strange pull towards him or her the first time you meet. Once you have seen your mate, if you are a boy, you feel the connection and bond all the time, whereas the girl needs a kiss to feel the magnetic pull and normally soon after that the male 'seals the deal', so to speak. But considering the females are going extinct, this makes it even harder to find a mate where most of our kind hide. About two thirds of werewolf males' mates are purely human, which we aren't supposed to go near. Hence my being one of the only girls around. Ookay, enough of my random and confusing thoughts...

The next thing I know I hear muffled footsteps and feel someone grab me and run off. I open my mouth to scream, but instead find a hand on my mouth. I risk a glance at my captor and see that it is the stranger I'll just call him SM. I relax instantly, then freeze up again when I realize I am being carried in his arms. I gasp at the closeness, but it comes out muffled because of the hand still on my mouth. He realizes he hasn't let go yet and retrieves his hand sheepishly. Aw he's so cute when he's flustered! Shiz.

SM looks behind him and his eyes widen at what he sees. I look at him confused and try to turn, but he just runs faster and blocks my line of vision with his chest. Mmm he looks good... Shiz! I gotta stop doin that, he could be a murderer... I mean I already know he's a major stalker, so maybe he's an assassin too... Possibilities truly are endless... And now I dont like the direction my thoughts are going, considering I'm trying to escape a dark cave and crazed kidnappers... The things I think about in the face of danger... Ooh! I know what I'll do!

"Marukai de chikiu poku hetalia!"

"Er, what?" I face palm myself. I'm doing it again! Why, oh why did I have to be cursed with this sudden failure to maintain some privacy in my head?

"Uhhh..." I studder, "Itsjustthethemesongofoneofmyfavoriteanimeshows."

"Sorry, i didnt catch that," Aw his slight asian accent is so adorable!

"Uh... Its just a song..."

"What kind of song?"

"Just a song from mdjafh"

"Huh?

"Myfavoriteanime"

"Speak up,"

"MY FAVORITE ANIME!"

''Oh, cool." I hear a shout behind us and gasp. Of course, leave it to me to pick the perfect time to start up a conversation. Notice how not out of breath SM is, his cheeks barely flushed, though he has been running for a while carrying a fully grown (well maybe not fully grown, if you catch my meaning) woman. Lucky. Uh, I mean about not being out of breath, not about being fully, er, assetted. Ookay, I'm gonna shut up now...

Just then I see a sharp turn right. We turn...and come straight to a dead-end. Just my luck.

A/N: Happy Cliffy day, everyone!
