((Hey I hope you guys like this chapter took me forever to decide how to continue it XD))

Chapter 6:

I woke in the small bedroom of the cottage. The light of the moon shone through the window as I gazed out. I heard a crash from outside and immediately remembered what had happened. I scouted the room, finding the knife I had claimed before. finding it under a chair. I grabbed it, hiding it in my skirt before venturing out into the family room. I walked out to see her bent over, picking up the pieces of a shattered vase. She hadn't seemed to notice I was there; slowly creeping my way towards the front door, I made it there silently before opening it as quietly as I could,

"I wouldn't do that." She said, still not looking at me. I flung the door open and sprinted as fast as I could. Hearing footsteps behind me, I pushed myself faster but within seconds she had caught me, flinging us to the floor. As we landed the knife I had been carrying came flying out, stabbing me in the side. I screeched in pain, my hands scrambling to pull the knife out. The pain shot through my body as I tugged on the metal blade, feeling it move my insides. My eyes started watering, screwing up in pain as I rolled around on the ground. I could feel the blood pulsing out. My hands pressed down on my side as I looked at Vera to help me. She was sitting there, her face grey and eyes wide.

"Help," I choked out, pleading her. I saw her come back slightly, she was still very ashen. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her crawl over to me, removing my hand from the deep wound. Her eyes widened once again and I suddenly realised why. It was the blood. I knew she wouldn't be able to control herself much longer. Struggling away from her grip, I got up and started to stagger off, clutching the wound which was sending spasms through my body. Suddenly I tripped over a branch, landing on my side and hitting the ground hard, I screamed out in pain as I rolled around, tears falling down my face like waterfalls. I saw a flash by my head and suddenly she was there again, her usually green eyes were bright red against the moon. I could see her, fighting against the urge once more as she placed his hand over the wound. I felt the healing right away, welcoming the calming sensation that came with it. I went to sleep once again, this time hoping I wouldn't wake up.

I woke in the soft bed, feeling the warm blanket over me. Sun shined through the window, light dancing over my shut eyelids. I didn't want to open my eyes; I didn't want to face reality anymore. I heard someone clear their throat and I immediately opened my eyes. There she was, standing in the corner of the room. My hand instantly flew to my throat, feeling for any type of bite mark.

"I didn't bite you," she said, walking over and sitting on the end of the bed. I looked down, pulling my shirt up to see the tiny little pink line where the knife had gone in. "You have to stop running away." She said sadly, looking down at her hands, sighing, I glared at her furiously.

"I shouldn't run away? Why is that? You're not the one who has been hunted their entire life. You don't constantly live in fear of being murdered. You have not been kidnapped by a creature that is designed to kill you, someone who then tells you to trust them." I glared at her; she flinched a little at my gaze. I could not believe what she was telling me.

"I am not saying that what I have done, and what my people do, is not horrible. But you must understand that I will not hurt you. I don't know what is happening but you need to understand that I am not going to hurt you. Don't you think that if I wanted you dead, I would have let you die from your gashes, or that stab wound?" she looked at me, pleading me to understand as I sat in thought. She had saved my life, more than once so far. She had rescued me from my village, which was under attack from her people, under attack from her. I still didn't know why she saved me, what she could possibly want with me.
