MidNight

Well, it all starts with a boy. In a city, that wasn't all that, well, "pretty". He took a wrong turn and ended up in a filthy alley, with a group of boys that looked about his age. They were all standing in a circle around a burning trashcan mumbling to each other. " Excuse me? " The boy said. The boys turned one by one to face him. " You look a little prized to be snooping around this town boy, what do you want?" The one in the front said crossing his arms and cocking his head back. " Directions." the boy said. "Ha, look boys, the ken doll is lost, why don't we help him out a bit?" All the other boys began to chuckle and lick their lips. The boy took a step back. "Let's get him." The boys all turned into massive wolves, the boy began to run.

......

She heard all the growling and snarling, she looked to the end of the street and saw a boy running with a pack of wolves chasing him. Quickly she ran into an alley where no one could see her and she turned into a wolf herself, she bolted pasted the stack of boxes that sat at the entrance of the alley snarling, causing the boxes to fall over. She raced down the street to catch up with the pack. She tried to act like she was a part of the pack, when suddenly she started to attack the other wolves around her. When most of the others were behind her regaining their footing, she picked up her pace and sped past their leader, and timed it precisely to dive headfirst between the boys legs to get him seated on her back. " Now!" she thought diving. The boy screamed then realized that, this wolf was helping him. " Go, Go!" he shouted. She took a deep breath and ran as fast as she could, zinging and zagging. She turned a corner, and came to an abrupt stop. " Dead end." she thought " Damn it ! " she crouched letting her belly touch the pavement. And the boy stepped off of her back.

......

The other wolves came around the corner and scattered to make sort of a barricade. She lowered her head flattened her ears and growled. " Aww, c'mon Night don't be that way." "What do you want Michael?" She snapped. " The boy " He said smirking at her. "Over my DEAD body!" " You're a tough one to kill, but that can be arranged." He lowered his head, growled and leapt into the air as she did the same they collided in the air. Growls, yieps, and snaps filled the space around them. Michel bit hold of her back, blood squirting out from between his teeth. She screamed in pain and slammed her body into the closest wall, causing Michel's head to slam into it as well, his jaw still clenched, his body fell limp and he slid to the ground slowly ripping the flesh from her back. She turned her head flashing her fangs at the rest of the pack, they didn't move nor speak but kept their eyes fixated on herself and the boy. Michel managed to pull himself together and limp back to stand in front of his pack.

She stared at him flashing her fangs. He blinked a couple of times and then just looked at the ground. Michel grunted, shifted forms and walked away, his pack followed his lead and filed into a line behind their defeated leader. Night looked up at the boy who was now perched on a ladder leading up to the rooftops, she gestured her head to keep going. Once he reached the top he extended his hand to her, Night shifted forms and swatted his hand away.

"Get Who are you ? And how did you find this place?" she said rubbing her back the place she was bitten, which was now just a scar. " I don't think I should tell you." Night looked at him, shifted forms and pounced on him pinning his shoulders to the roof and growling. " Okay! Okay!" he shouted " I was sent here, I don't know the guy who sent me , but he said he wanted me to find the darkest night a bring it back!" Night stopped growling and looked at him, she stepped back and shifted. " What does he look like?" " He's really tall about 6'2 with blonde hair and eyes that are light purple, but when he gets angry they get darker almost like a red wine." Night's body went to ice as she stood and stared. The boy stood up and walked over to her. " Are you okay? Hey...." He stood in front of her and grasped her hand, intertwining his fingers in hers. Slowly her eyes traced the boys arm to his shoulder, then on to his collar bone, up his neck to his face where she felt herself melt completely into his eyes. Night took a deep breath and blinked a couple times, breaking out of the trance she was in, she shook out of his grasp, took a step back and punched the boy right directly in the jaw, sending him barreling to the ground. The boy looked up at her, she was breathing heavily, with her fists clenched.

" How dare you!" she looked at the boy. He noticed that her eyes were also light purple, but they were changing. Getting darker and Darker. The boy rubbed his jaw. " You don't even know me!" Night shouted "Can I ?" The boy said looking up at her. " W-What?" she said " That pack of morons are one thing, but you, your different I'm not afraid of you, and I would like to..." " Hush.." Night lifted her head and smelled the air when her eyes shot up and her pupils went wide. " What is it? What's happening? " " Oh no, It's time to go." She said grabbing a handful of the boys shirt and pulling him across the roof ,they reached the other side and Night let go of him, he tugged at the ends of his shirt as if to straighten it upon his shoulders. ' Alright listen, when we get down into the city square, you need to pretend that I am your dog,understand?" She said. She took off the hoodie she had on and threw it to him. He shook his head. " You have to follow me, stay close, don't talk to anyone, don't look at anyone... just look at me or the ground." Night pulled herself up over a small wall then down a latter,with the boy following her. When her feet touched the ground, she waited for the boy to lower himself. Once he was off the latter, she grabbed his hand and lead him into an alley way, where she shifted forms into a large black wolf.

The boy pulled the hood up over his face,and shoved his hands into the pocket. Night stood infront of the boy,then she turned and began to slowly walk down the alley. They came to the square, it was buzzing with people. She lead him down the street ocasionally looking up at him. She stoped at a street light and sat down, Night felt the boys shaking hand stroke the top of her head,she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When the light finally turned she continued to walk. Once they reached the out skirts of the city, she shifted. " The next time you ever 'pet' me, I am going to take your hand off. " The boy chuckled as Night walked over to a pile of junk,and started to move things. " I know I put it here somewhere...." She mumbled, " What are you looking for, if I may ask?" He looked over at her, she was digging around in her pocket. " Ahh here they are!" she said pulling keys from her pocket. Night walked over to a large object with a sheet over it, she grabbed a fist full of the sheet. " Behold, my greatest possession, my baby." Night said as she pulled the sheet away revealing the blue and black McLaren F1. " This is yours?!" The boy said as he took a step closer,extending his hand. " Don't touch.." His hand retreted, as Night walked around to the front of the car "Get in." He looked surprised when he saw the interior of the car. " Wow." he said buckeling his seatbelt. " Pretty, isn't she..." Night said sliding her hand across the steering wheel. " Yeah, Beatuiful". "She was a gift from my father before he was... Um." Night shifted her weight in her seat. "Are you okay?" The boy asked looking at her with a concerned look. " Um, yeah I'm fine." She looked in the rear view mirror, before speeding off.
