When people think about dying... they ask...what comes first? Some say the sound, because that is the last thing you would be able to hear. The sound tells you that it's coming. Some say it's the pain, because it's the last thing you will ever feel. It tells you that you are really dead, that your gone. I think it's neither. I think it's.........fear. For fear is what makes us human and what fear do humans have greater than death? The answer is simple.........nothing.

Death.

Is humans greatest fear, their most terrible nightmare, their end.

The gun shot off as the bullet tore through my skin and muscles. It wounded my right arm, I couldn't run anymore, I began to limp.

Reph bullets aren't just ordinary bullets. Their bullets only Reapers have, a special kind have bullet made for werewolves. Reph bullets have a special kind of toxin that paralysis a werewolf' s body, to slow it down, but not enough to kill. That's the Reaper' s job. Reapers are humans that know about us, they think we're nothing but monsters, so the hunt us done and kill us. Basically their werewolf hunters, but they don't just hunt us, they hunt all kinds of monsters and creatures, making them a threat.

I began to stumble to the trees that laid a head. I couldn't see the pups and the other wolves any more. They must of thought I was right behind them.

"Hey, I think I got one," I heard one of the Reapers say.

"Come on, hurry up then. Before it gets away," the other said.

I tried running with my wounded arm, but the pain was to unbearable that it was useless to even try. I heard the Reapers coming at a fast pace, so I decided to change into my human form, knowing I would be faster on my two legs. I didn't bother to check the damage on my arm, my adrenaline was pumping and all I could do was run. I could hear the Reapers running as they got closer and closer to me. I ran into the forest, crossing the edge of the meadow disappearing into the woods. I only had gone a few feet into the forest before the paralyzing toxin kicked in, I stumbled back my shoulder blades hitting a tree. I used the tree as support as my body slowly became numb, I was gasping and panting for air. My heart was beating fast, I looked at my wounded arm. My blood was slowly dripping down my arm from the bullet that was still embedded in my skin.

"Crap, where did it go?!" The Reapers were in the meadow now.

"Come on, it couldn't have gone far. The toxin should already be doing it's job."

Since when did I become an "it".

"Where do you want to start first?"

"Let's start in the direction we saw the wolves running, than we'll fan out if we don't find anything."

"Alright."

Crap, I thought as I heard them to walk towards me. I got to get out of here, I picked my body up from the tree. My legs were about to give way, so I ended up landing back onto the tree, my legs were numb. I couldn't move and I can't howl for help, they'll know where I am and if I tried to mind link with Ky, they might see him coming and shoot him. As the Reapers got closer and closer, my body began to panic, all my nervous told me to run, but my legs wouldn't listen. My legs felt like lead and they were just getting heavier and heavier.

"Hey, Ralph. I think I see something," I heard one of the Reapers say.

"What? Where?" The other asked frantically.

"I don't know what it is, but it's behind that tree up a head."

My heart stopped, did they find me? I could hear them move slowly and quietly getting closer to me. They were at least 20 feet away, what am I going to do? What am I going to d-

Just then I heard a rustle in the bushes in front of me. I froze and it was silent for a moment when suddenly a big tan wolf jumped out of the bushes. I was still as the big tan wolf walked over to me, only inches from my face. He looked at me and I looked at him, but as his brown eyes stared into mine, I was shocked to find out who he was.

"Jason?" I mind linked.

The wolf smiled, "Serena," a wave of relief washed over me as Jason said my name.

"Jason, you need to get out of here now!"

His ears perked up by the urgency in my voice.

"Serena, what happened?! Your arms bleeding?!"

"Reapers and they're on my trail. You need to leave, now!"

"Where's Ky? Why isn't he here!" He barked with anger.

"He had to help Alpha Drake take back his pups to the Alpha Drake' s house. You need to leave now!"

"Get on my back," Jason said looking at me with determination.

"What?"

"I said, get on my back."

"Jason-"

"I'm not leaving without you, not get on!"

I sighed as Jason laid down on the ground in front of me. I climbed on him, my legs on each side of his body. As he stood up, I leaned my body forward so my chest was on his back, I clawed my hands into his tan fur.

"Hold on tight. I don't want you to fall off," he said and he began to run.

"Where are you taking me?" I said as he picked up speed, getting faster and faster.

"I'm taking you to our pack house. I'll mind link Ky, to tell him where your going to be."

Minutes passed as I allowed Jason to notify Ky where I was going to be. The wind blew my hair out of my face, I don't know why, but I decided to bury my face into Jason soft and warm fur. My heart pounded as I breathed in his scent, rosemary, he smelled of rosemary.

"Jason?"

"Yeah?"

We mind linked as he continued to run with all of his might.

"Thank you."

"For what?"

"For......for everything."

He smiled, "I would do anything for you Serena, and don't forget that."

I could feel my cheeks grow warm when he said those words.

*

We arrived to the Ky's house and everyone was standing outside. Jason walk towards them moving to the side showing me to them.

"What happened?!" Alpha Cain asked frantically.

"Where's Ky?!" Luna Rachel said meeting her husband's frantic state.

"He's not here?! Damn!" Jason said to them. Just then Ky came rushing out of the woods, changing into his human form.

"I'm here now, what's going on!" Ky said walking over to Jason.

"Serena's hurt!" Jason said.

"What!" Ky said with urgency coating his voice. He rushed over to me, his eyes scanning over my body. I looked at him, I could tell my eyes must of been filled with pain because Ky's reaction held regret.

"She was shot with a Reph bullet in the left arm. She has already gone numb," Jason told Alpha Cain.

Alpha Cain' s eyes were filled with urgency, "Reapers," he whispered, his eyes wide. He turned to the wolves behind him, "Get me Lilian, now!" He ordered.

Lilian was the medic in our pack, every pack has at least one. They cured the sick and the wounded, werewolves can't go to the hospital. For they would soon find out that we were not human and put us into an lab to be tested and experimented. Alpha Cain turned back to his son, Ky kept his eyes on me, not wanting to leave me from his sight, again.

"Son, I need you to carry her to Lilian. She has set up a room in the house," Ky looked at his father.

"What are you going to do to her," Ky said on the defensive.

"We need to get that bullet out of her arm or she won't be able to move until we do."

Ky nodded, then he looked at me, I was still laying on Jason's back. Clutching to his fur tightly, trying not to fall. Jason and Ky locked eyes, to me it looked like they were talking or arguing with their eyes, but you could tell one did not like the other or they didn't like each other. Jason slowly laid down on the ground, his head turned forward now, looking away from Ky. Ky walked over to me, I don't know how, but he was able to grab me and carry me in his arms bridal style. I winced from the pain of being moved as I placed my head on Ky's shoulder, my wounded arm hanged in mid air as my blood dripped down my arm and off my fingertips. I could hear people wince as their faces became filled with worry and concern for me. Ky gripped me tighter to his body, I looked up at him, his eyes were filled with pain and concern for me, it killed me to see his eyes filled with these emotions.

"Sorry," he whispered with pain and he began to carry me to the room Lilian was set up in.

Lilian was set up in Alpha Cain's office that was on the first floor. His desk table was replaced by a rectangle silver table that was wheeled in after they had moved all the furniture to the side. Lilian was standing on the right side of the table, looking at us as Ky carried me in through the door. Next to Lilian was a smaller table that held all of her tools, Lilian was wearing gloves, her long blonde hair was pulled out of her face in a pony tail as her glasses gleamed in the light, she was wearing a white apron. She looked about 30 years old. Ky looked at her, hesitating to put me down on the table or not, afraid that this woman would hurt me instead of help me. Lilian looked at Ky and notice his hesitation, she knew that he wouldn't want to leave me, she gave him a smile to try calming his nervous.

"It's alright Ky. I'm trying to help her, I won't do anything to hurt her," she said with a smile and there was a moment of silence.

Then she said, "can you please lay her on this silver table so I may begin," in a sweet and polite voice. Ky slowly walked over to the table and placed me gently down, the coldness of the table made my body shivered as the chills spread through my spine. Ky took a step back and looked down at me, Lilian looked at Ky, her eyebrows up in concern.

"Ky, I need you to leave," she said.

* Ky's P.O.V *

My eyes snapped up at her as my blood began to boil.

"What do you mean I have to leave!"

"What is going to happen to her, you won't like it. She's going to scream, she's going to cry, and your going to want to fight," Lilian said her voice and eyes becoming stern.

My jaw tighten, "you said your weren't going to hurt her!"

"And I'm going to try not to hurt her to my best of my abilities. But getting a Reph Bullet is long and painful process. So I suggest you leave!" She said pointing to the door behind me.

My hands balled into fist, "I'm not leaving!"

"You ar-"

"Lilian," Serena said cutting her off. Lilian looked down at her shocked, they locked eyes their mouths staying silent. Serena nodded to Lilian, it took Lilian only minutes to find out what she was saying. Lilian nodded back to Serena and she walked off to a corner of the room, leaning up against the wall. Her eyes stayed locked on me, Serena looked at me and I looked at her. I hated myself for letting this happen to her, because of me she's laying down on this table wounded and bleeding.

"Ky," she said snapping me out of my thinking.

"Come here," she told me and I walked over to her, placing my hands on the table next to her limb body.

"I want you to leave," she said and my body became tense.

"I'm not leaving you, I-"

"If you don't leave, I won't scream," I looked down at her my eyebrows coming up in concern.

"I will contain my pain, because I can't scream knowing that you would be listening," she told me. I froze, I...I couldn't let her do that, I couldn't let her contain her pain, making it harder for her. I couldn't let her do that, I already cause her enough pain, I don't want to cause her anymore. I looked down at her, I slowly leaned down and kissed her lips, my eye brows coming up in concern. Regret and guilt filled my heart as I slowly released her lips from my own.

"I love you," I whispered to her, pain filling my voice and I......left.

I walked out of the room, hearing Lilian say, "alright let's get started," as I closed the door behind me. Leaving Serena to bare the pain that should have never happened to her in the first place. Jason was outside of the door, he looked at me, I just looked at him, my face holding no expression. I leaned up the wall beside the door, my arms crossed over my chest and my head down, letting my bangs cover my eyes. I guess Jason heard the discussion we had in there because the next thing he said......

"What are you doing? They told you to leave?"

"They told me to leave the room...not the house," I said my eyes still looking down.

"Ky-"

"Leave me alone Jason," I barked. Not giving him my time to look at him. He growled, I growled at him showing him my bright red eyes. He grunted and back off, leaving me in that hallway, by the door, ready to endure the pain that I will hear. First there was silence and only silence, then I heard it.

Her high pitch blood curdling scream.

My throat and chest tightened, it became hard for me to breath as I pounded the wall behind me once.

Then she screamed again.

I crumbled to the floor, as my hands clawed the floor. My jaw began to quiver as I slowly died with each scream that escaped her throat. Each scream of pain, suffering, agony, each one killed me more and more. My breath became heavy as I tried to contain my own screams as well, images of her flashed through my mind. I imagined her mouth open in pain, letting each one of her screams escape her beautiful lips, as her tears streamed down her pain stricken faced. I was crumbling, breaking, and soon my own tears of pain stained my face and my head began to slowly shake side to side wanting to stop her suffering.

"No," I whispered.

Her screams filled my ears once more.

"No, no," I whispered again.

My hands clawed the floor tighter, almost wanting to tear the carpet off with all of my might. My jaw tightened, why? Why her, why did she have to go through this? My jaw tighten as my tears ran down my face, my body tense with agony. My hands clutching the ground trying to hold on to my last bit of sanity, she wasn't just my mate or a childhood friend, she was my everything. She made me whole, she made me feel complete, she was my little angel. My beautiful, strong, powerful, kind, loving angel. She doesn't deserve this, no one did, except those Reaper that hurt her.

I sat there, listening to her screams as they got louder. As I died more and more inside, wanting to scream as I cried. I thought nothing in this world could make me scream or cry out in pain, I was wrong.

Serena was right.........she is my weakness.

*

Half of hour, half of hour listening to her pain and suffering. Half of hour of me dying in my own body, half of hour of me crying. My tears soon stopped as I heard the door open, Lilian stepped out her hands filled with blood, Serena's blood. I looked up at her, she knew I was there, but she couldn't look down at me.

"I told you not to listen," she said softly. Then she slowly looked down at me, her eyes were filled with sorrow, feeling sorry for the pain she had put us through. She didn't want inflict pain on us, but she had no choice, she had to get that bullet out of Serena. After a few minutes of locking eyes, she gave me a smile.

"She's fine, but she should get some rest. You can go in and see her," she said and she began to walk away.

"Lilian," I called after her as I stood up, picking myself off the floor. She stopped.

"Thank you," I told her. She turned her head and looked at me, giving me a smile.

"Don't worry about it...kid. You take care of her now, ya hear?"

"I will."

"Good," she said and she walked away.

I looked at the door, it was wide open, letting the sunlight emerged into the hallway. I slowly stepped into the light, in front of the door way. She was sitting up on the table looking at me, the sun shone brightly behind her. Making her look like she shined with all the power of the heavens, making her look like and Angel. Her clothes weren't stained with blood, her arm was cleaned and washed, white bandages wrapped around the top part of her wounded arm. The place were she was shot with the bullet. She looked at me and her eyes became wide with concern.

* Serena's P.O.V *

Once I saw Ky stepped into the light, into the room. I knew he was listening in on my screams, tear streaks stained his face. He looked wounded and hurt, it killed me and angered me knowing that he had to hear what I was going through. I was tired, the operation Lilian did on me took most of my strength, but I still had enough to strength to argue.

"Ky, I told you not to listen-"

Just then Ky's hands were on my waist, he was in between my legs as they dangled off the table. His face was buried in my neck, his hands on my waist were tight and wanting.

"Shhh, please don't argue with me. Not now," He said seductively as he stroked his lips on my skin.

"Ky-" I said and he slammed his lips into mine.

Then he released my lips and picked me up, bridal style, again!

"Ky, put me down! I can walk by myself!" I said and I lightly punched his chest.

He gave out a chuckle, "I'm glad." He said as he carried me out of the door and into the hallway.

"Of what?" I asked confused looking at him.

"I'm glad that your not mad at me," He said looking at me with eyes filled with regret. My eyebrows came up in concern and I wrapped my arms around his neck, I buried my face into his neck, smelling in his scent. Lavender, my heart skipped a beat, I was addicting to his smell, I was addicting to him.

"It wasn't your fault."

"Yes, it was. If I had-"

I kissed his neck, making him stop as he gave out a gasp of enjoyment and surprise. I looked at him and he looked at me, he gave me a look.

"It's not your fault. Now stop feeling so guilty about it or I will be mad at you," I said giving him a stern face. He looked at me and it was silent as we locked eyes, then out if no where......

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha," he bursts out laughing.

"What so funny?" I asked my voice not losing it's sternness.

"Nothing......I'm just glad your okay," he said his voice filled with so much passion it made me blush. I looked away and of course he noticed because he starting laughing even more.

"Ha ha ha ha ha, come on. Let's get you too bed," he said and he carried me off to his room.

* hours passed *

My eyes fluttered open, it was the afternoon. I was well rested, my strengthen regained, but my throat was dry, I needed water. I looked behind me, Ky was sleeping behind me as his arm wrapped around my waist. I smiled looking at his beautiful and cute sleeping face, I slowly crept out of Ky's bed, moving his arm off of me. I remembered the last time I did this I got caught by Ky and he pulled me back into bed and tickled me for punishment. I wondered if I can escape this time, I slowly placed Ky's arm back on the bed after I crept out of his bed, then I slowly and silently walked to the door. Making sure not to be heard, once I got to the door, I gently placed my hand on the door knob. I slowly turned it, keeping my eyes on Ky's sleeping body, once I turned the door knob all the way, I pulled the door in, opening it. Once I got it open, I stepped through it, now standing in the hallway. I watched Ky as I slowly closed the door behind me, letting it softly close with a click.

Once I knew I was safe, I ran down the stairs and into the kitchen. I can't believe I got away without him noticing, I thought as I walked into the kitchen.

"Well, you look better," Someone said as I walked into the kitchen.

My eyes followed the voice and I was surprised to find Jason in the kitchen. He was learning up against the island in the middle of the kitchen. His arms were crossed in front of his body as he stood there smiling at me.

"Meanie" I said sticking my tongue out at him as I opened a cabinet and got a glass cup out of it. I walked over to the fridge, in one of the doors of the fridge it had an ice and water dispenser. I placed my glass under the ice dispenser and ice came out of it and into my glass, I did the same thing with the water dispenser and water poured into my glass. As I drank my water, I walked over to the side of the island that Jason was leaning on. I drank until the glass was empty putting it on the island beside me. I leaned my hip on the side of the island as my hand laid on the island next to my glass, I was looking at Jason. His eyes were watching my every action and when he saw that I stopped moving, his eyes snapped up to mine.

"Jason, can I ask you something?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"Why were you gone for so long?"

He froze wondering if he should answer it or not. "I.........I went to my uncle's house. He......needed some help with a fishing trip he was planning to go on."

By his hesitation, I knew he was lying. But there must be some important reason why Jason wasn't telling me, he told me everything. So I decided to move on and not bother him about it anymore. I grabbed my glass and walked to the sink, I put the water on and washed my glass with a little soap. when I was done I placed my glass on a towel that was laid out next to the sink so the glass could dry.

"Did he get everything done?" I asked as I turned around and leaned against the edge of the sink now.

"No," Jason said.

"Then why did you-"

Just then Jason slammed his hands on the sink. He was in front of me now, his hands on each side of me, trapping me in his arms. He was so close to me that my hands laid on his chest, his lips were only inches from mine, he stared into my eyes. My heart was beating a million miles per hour, I was scared......what was going on? He moved his body closer to mine and my body tensed up.

"I lied," he said and he buried his face in my neck, my breath hitched in fear at his sudden movement. I started to quiver in fear, what was going on, what was he doing.

"I lied, I didn't leave because my uncle needed help on a damn fishing trip. I left because of you, I came back because of you, you Serena!"

"J-Jason? W-what are you saying?" I asked my voice filled with fright. My breath was heavy and so was his as he moved his head from my neck. He looked at me, his eyes filled with something I have not seen from him before, they were filled with lust and wanting. His eyes scanned my face, stopping when they hit my lips.

"J-Jason?"

He slowly placed his hand on my cheek, his thumb found my lips and I gasped at the sudden feel of his thumb on my lips. I tried to turn my head away but he grabbed my face using both of his hands, not letting me escape. I pushed on his chest, but he stood his ground not letting me go.

"Jason! Stop, please! You don't know what your doing!" I protested.

"Shh," Jason told me and he brought his face closer to mine. His nose and mine touching, I could feel his hot breath on my lips. An inch closer his lips would be touching mine.

"Serena," he said seductively.
