The world is full of different types of person. Each having their own manners, habits and way of doing something. Just like that when one comes back into consciousness either he feels his surrounding first then blinks open his eyes slowly or he jerks up awake then feels his surrounding.

My case is the latter one so that's what happened when I woke up. As soon as my senses return I snap my eyes open, sitting up straight which proves to be a wrong move as I get the full blast of the sunlight, feeling dizzy.

Putting my hands on my head, I groan as a pain shoot through my neck to my head. My body feels drained, my legs Jell-O.

What the heck happened?

Shaking my head to get rid of dizziness, I notice few things immediately. First, it is early morning. Second, I am sitting on a hard and crunchy ground. And-

And with that the images of what happened earlier bombard me with their presence making my eyes widen.

"Holy..." I whisper before getting up on my feet quickly. Again not the correct move as I stumble on my wobbly legs and my world sways around it's axis but I get a hold of it luckily.

Frantically, with my heart going on a crazy speed, I look around. And all I see, is the same road ahead from where I had taken the path towards my doom in the first place and the forest behind me where-

I freeze in my spot. It takes me few minutes to comprehend what had happened back there when I ran from those three vile men.

Men...

More men...

A big man..

Rudolf. My eyes further widen if that's possible.

Fight..

Tingles..

Blue eyes..

Golden eyes...

Bite..

Blood..

BLOOD!

In a reflex, my hand comes over my neck feeling my skin. There is a stickiness at the spot and something lining my skin. What is this? I go into panic state.

Turning my body so I am facing the forest, I eye it fearing someone would jump out from it anytime.

Someone or Rudolf.

Walking backward with my eyes still on the forest and it's trees, I feel eyes on me. A wave of shivers run down my spine and I shudder in fear. My eyes flickering from one spot to another to find someone.

Gulping down the lump in my throat, I move my hand over my jeans' pockets. I hope they haven't taken my belongings.

Who are they?

One thing is for sure that what I had seen is not my hallucinations or my mind making it up because last time I checked myself up, I was well and healthy in all manners.

Is it a dream? Maybe when I was running from those three men, I hit my head on the tree and passed out here. I snicker mentally at my own thoughts.

Right... Stupid.

If that was the case, I haven't woken up here alone.

A car honking breaks me out of my thoughts. Turning my head slightly, I look over and my heart jumps in relief as a car drives in my direction or in the direction of the road where I am standing.

Taking a deep breath, I flip the hoodie cap over my head and dust off my hoodie to get rid of the leaves and mud. Once I thought I am presentable enough, I pull out my wallet from my pocket.

I have learned my lesson. Next time, I will sure that I have my transport and my cellphone with me before leaving the house.

With my mind full of images of earlier which I still not able to understand, I check my wallet. ID card. Money card. Money bills.

Moving my shoulder to relax my muscles, I step out in front of the car or should I say a mini pickup van, noticing that it is now slowing down.

When it comes to halt in front of me, I lean down slightly, my guards up. I swear if anything happens again I will flip and beat the shit out of anyone! My mind is not in the right state, right now and I don't want anymore surprises and shocks. Thank you very much.

As soon as the window rolls down, I am greeted by a beaming smile of a young pretty lady. Waves of black hairs reach her shoulder. Round face with black eyes.

"Hello, love." She chirps, happily. Damn. How can someone be this happy in the early morning? I need least 2 hours with myself alone then I am willing to communicate with others. But still I don't communicate this happily.

"Hey." I nod my head. Clearing my throat.

"Mind if I ask, where are you heading?" I add.

"Not at all. I'm just heading at the end of the town there." She points her finger in the direction which I also want to go. It's not a long walk but I don't want to take anymore risks now.

"And you?"

"Oh. Same. Will you drop me off at the edge of the town? I can pay you." She shakes her head instantly.

"No no no. Money is not an issue. Hop in. I will drop you." She flashes another smile, holding the steering wheel.

"Thanks." I murmur and jog towards the passenger door. Once seated and buckled up, she starts her van turning on the radio.

Orange, yellow and blue colors contrast the sky. Birds singing the morning songs. I inhale the chilly morning air in that calms my nerves down.

"So..." I turn my head toward her when she starts talking.

"My name is Raven." My lips twitch slightly. Raven, it suits her. She is pretty indeed. Like a bird, singing happily in the morning.

"Miracle." I reply.

"Uh?" She glances in my direction with a confused look.

"My name."

Her lips form into 'o' shape in understanding before a slight bang is heard. I jump in my seat, alarmed.

"What's back there?" I ask her keeping my eyes on the small window that is closed separating the back of the van with the front.

"Uhm. Nothing. Just stuff." My eyes move towards her and I study her, silently.

"Mind if I ask, what stuff?"

"Home stuff. Maybe something fell down. Don't worry." I nod.

Don't worry? If only you know what had happened, you would be paranoid by everything like me.

Keeping my mouth shut, I turn around to look out of the window. Shops come into my line of vision and a release a sigh at the familiar surrounding. People walking around. Talking, running and laughing. I eye the cafe at the end of the road.

"Alright. Hey, I think that's it. I can go from here." I give her a small smile, pointing my thumb outside the window.

Furrowing her eyebrows, she looks at me.

"I can drop you off at your home,you know. It's alright."

I shake my head.
"Nah. It's alright. Thank you for the ride. I think, I'll just go from here. "

From the corner of my eyes, I watch as her grips tighten on the wheel. Red light flashes inside my head. I grab the door handle just in case.

"You sure?"

"Definitely."

Another bang. I turn around to look behind again.

"What the..." The car screeched at a stop, jerking me forward. The seat belt pulls against my skin.

"I'm so sorry. " Raven says quickly in panic.

"It's okay. Don't fret." Removing the seat belt, I quickly jump out of the car.

There is something or someone back there. That was not the sound of something crashing on the ground. Definitely not.

Closing the door behind me, I lean down to look at her from the window. She looks at me in panic.

Definitely something is wrong. Or I am just paranoid.

"Well. Thank you for the ride, again."

"Your welcome." She replies after taking a deep breath.

"Have a good day." I wink at her which instantly relaxes her shoulders.

"Yeah you too." She runs her hand throw her hair. Pulling away from the car, I wait for her to drive away.

I wait, my eyes fix on her car as it becomes smaller and smaller and eventually turning around the corner, it disappears.

Chewing my lips, I wait for few more seconds thinking hard about everything, my mind doesn't seem to remove those images. I can feel the migraine coming up.

"Rudolf..." I whisper his name to myself as a pair of sea blue eyes fills my mind and a very strange thing happened.

A shiver run down my body along with the tingles that burst the skin of my neck. Placing my hand at the skin where I know he had bitten me, I press hard.

No pain but tingles only.

Turning around, I walk with my head down but my ears picking up every noise around me.

Walking briskly, I pass the cafe which I had seen earlier before backtracking and entering it.

Sue me. I want to fill my cravings!

"Two chocolate chip cookies and a large cup of coffee."

"Right away, ma'am." I nod my head at the guy who serves me my order and place the cash on the counter.

Munching on my cookie and drinking from the cup, I turn around the corner at the end of the road. This corner is opposite to where Raven's van had driven away. Glancing back from my shoulder, I don't find her or any familiar van so with that in mind I speed walk along the empty road that has thick big green trees on either side.

This side is the private property. You can't see any cars or anyone here. You can't see but that doesn't mean that there is no one here. Almost hidden under the shadows of the trees, security guards stands on either side. My eyes flicker at them in acknowledgement when they nod at me.

Taking my sweet time in devouring the treats, I throw away the empty cup at the trash bin which is on the side before continuing my walk.

After exact two minutes, I reach my destination. Two monstrous big iron gates that are black, stand before me. Long and thick white walls surround the inside world of the gate, completely separating it from the outside world.

At the top far corner of gates, I look at the blinking camera and wave. Immediately, a loud vibrating sound resonates before the gate opens automatically.

Home sweet home.

Sighing, I slip past through the opening of the gate, nodding at another guards, stationed at either side of it. With another vibrating sound, the gates closed behind me.

I am Miracle Jones, 23 years old college graduate, the daughter of most successful businessman who owns more than half of this town. Travis Jones, my father, the successful and rich man. He can have control on anything or anyone but he is helpless in front of one person. His only daughter which is of course me.

Only daughter but that doesn't mean that I am his only child.

A driveway opens up infront of me, circling a beautiful fountain with the shapes of dolphins, sparkling water pouring out from their mouths,that leads directly to the big white mansion.

My mansion, I smirk. I admit it is not my money but oh well, my father gifted it to me when....

My hands clench into fists and my lips set into a frown. No. Don't go there right now.

Mom. I miss you.

Stepping up to the few porch's stairs, I was about to push open the main door when it opens suddenly and there stands my Butler, who is more like my best friend, fuming. With a scowl on his face, he looks down at me from his 5'7 height. And with my 5'5 height I grin up at him, cheekily.

"Good Morning, Mr.Stewart !" I exclaim in fake enthusiasm, blinking my eyes up at him.

Maintaining his scowl, he tilts his head and my smile falters. The action reminds me of him. Rudolf.

"May I ask where have you been all night?" His stern voice cuts through my thoughts.

Raising my hands to show him my bruised knuckles, I smirk.
"Kicking ass."

Holding my breath, I observe his features. Grey hairs poking out from his natural brown hair, a clear sign of his passing age, with soft blue eyes. He is in his late 40's. Then, it happens. His lips twitch and I wink at him.

His stern expression falters and replace with defeated one as he sighs before ushering me in.

"We were worried about you, Ms.Jones."

"I got caught up with something, you know how it is there. I'm sorry for not informing beforehand." I yell over my shoulder before running towards the grand staircase.

Groaning, I start to climb that up. I have to set up an elevator here for sure!

"Did you have your breakfast?" I hear his voice.

"Yes!" With that I pass the first floor making my way towards the third and last one.

The mansion is three story. The two floors have several unoccupied rooms but the last floor is mine and it's private. My mother and I had designed the third floor. It only has four rooms; my room, my mother's room, Art room and a empty room for no one in particular. Other than that there is an inside pool at the third floor along with gym.

My father always used to think that money and materials make up for everything. But it doesn't. Money can't bring the time you have lost away from your loved ones. Money can't heal the wounds that are deep in the soul. And money can't bring back your loved ones who are gone.

But in sick twisting way, money is important. Money is a need.

Upon reaching the last floor, I get rid of these thoughts and jog towards my room.

"Meow." As soon as I open the door, my black cat walks towards me, rubbing against me.

"Hello,Batty" I murmur, kneeling down and running my hand over her back making her purr when I give extra attention at her ear.

"Give me few minutes,will you?"

I walk towards my walk-in closet and open the doors. After going in a hunting mission, I walk out with a pair of clean underwear, coffee colored sweater and white sweatpants.

"No! You can't bath with me!" I tell my cat when I see her following me to the bathroom.

With that I slam my door shut, shaking my head when I hear scratching sound on my door. Hanging the clean clothes on the hooks in the back of the door, I  remove the dirty clothes from my body before moving towards the shower section but stops in my tracks.

Slowly very slowly, I turn around to face the black tiles of the basin and lift my eyes cautiously. When my eyes fall upon my reflection on the mirror, all the air gets knock out of my lungs as I stare wide eyed at the design on my neck with a horrified expression on my face.

Putting my hand over my mouth to stop myself from screaming, I look at the- is this a tattoo? I move my head slightly to look clearly at it.

Two wolves with their heads towards each other and a circle, which I think is a moon, over them. They are standing with their heads towards each other.

With cautious movement, I move my hand to touch the raised skin. Tingles shoot through them when I touch it. My heart hammers against my chest and suddenly it becomes hard to breath.

This.Is.A.Tattoo.

A tattoo.

I thought that he had bit me but he had given me a tattoo when I passed out.

He

Gave

Me

A

Tattoo.

Without my permission!

He is dead! He is so dead when I see him next time.

This time I scream my lungs out in frustration.

"Ahhhh." I slam my fists on the counter.

I will make him pay.

Rudolf fucking whatever. You are a dead man who has messed with the wrong person.
