I ran. I ran and ran. I couldn't even try and outrun Alfie. He was way faster then me. But I tried. Everything was turning upside down, and before I knew it, my face met the ground. Well, almost anyway. Alfie had caught me when I was like 1 inch away from the ground.
He turns me around, and makes me hit him in the chest.
"Leave me alone-" I start, but he holds onto me tighter. I look down at his hands, and he looks there too.
He loosens his grip, and looks into my eyes. I look down, and see he looked down as well.
"I-I can't... I wish I could. But I can't. And even if I could have the control, why would I? It's not like you have anywhere to go." He says, making me stand with my own support.
"Anything's better then here. I don't know you. And let me get this straight... some weird thing just sucked my blood for fun?"
"Vampire." He corrects. I walk further and away from him, making Alfie walk closer.
"Who are you? And- what are you?" I ask. He nods, and gestures towards a tree that had fallen down a couple of metres away from us.
"I'm Alfie Walker. And I'm a werewolf. I-I have been watching you for a long time. And i've noticed the little things." He says, pointing at my arm. I look at it, and see what he was talking about. The bruises. My dad had made sure I suffered pain when I was younger. Back then, he wasn't careful about where he did them. But it was later on, that he realised if I had it covered up, no one would notice. So he started with the stomach. I still had Mark's from everything. Physically and mentally.

I cover my arm with my sleeve, shielding his glance away from my skin.
"So you've been keeping tabs on me? Like a stalker? Like a pedo-" he stops me there, making me sit down next to him.
"I am no stalker. I got asked to look after you just in case. But in your case i'm glad I did. Because look at today. If I wasn't there, you'd be dead." He says. I roll my eyes, and look at my nails.
"I was handling it perfectly well. My dad wouldn't hurt me-" I start, but stop myself. I didn't need to fool Alfie. He knew about the punches, kicks and slaps I got from my dad. Obviously he was sensitive about my history, because he stood up, and grabbed my arm.
"That is hurting you, Aria. And I don't care if you had to lie to everyone else about your life. I just-" something cuts him off, and he looks around. His eyes slowly took everything in.
"Someone's listening to us." He whispers. I step back from him, ripping my hand from his grasp.
"You're delusional." I say, almost breaking off into a run. But what stops me is what was ahead. Regan was there with his mates, laughing at us both. I could tell it wsn't in a mean way. It was... friendly.
"Why is Regan here?" I ask Alfie, getting closer to him. He hisses at Regan, and makes me get behind his back. I obey, and don't complain. He smirks, almost happy that he could make me listen to him.
"He's part of my old pack. He- He knows you're here. Come out from behind my back." Hisses Alfie, grabbing my arm, and making me visable to Regan. I look down at the floor, and see two feet In the corner of my eyes. Regan. Seriously?
"Hello, Aria. We meet again." I growl under my breathe, and he notices.
"You haven't told her?" Asks Regan, getting closer to both of us.
"No. Not yet." Says Alfie, putting a hand on my back. Looking at Alfie, I frown. What was he keeping from me? 

Lots of thoughts ran through my head, making me regret ever running. If I had never ran, that would mean that maybe Regan wouldn't of come to us. But he had. And I could tell that Alfie was nervous. He had new goosebumps on his arms, and he was standing on the tip of his toes.

"I'll keep her safe." Says Regan, smiling at Alfie. I step back, and roll my eyes. But Alfie nods. They must be losing there minds, because I have not forgotten all those times that Regan picked on me. All those times, I ran home crying because I couldn't cope with the laughter.

"You'd better." Warns Alfie, pushing me towards Regan. I take a deep breathe, and look back at Alfie. But he was gone. No where to be seen. He needs to stop doing that.
"Come on." Says Regan, gesturing towards the other people that were with him. I stand back, and contemplate running. He'd catch you Aria. But not if I get away or hide... No. Let's see where this takes me.
