hi to you, but you were busy, so I walked away. After that, I didn't have the time." I said, casually. He smirked.
"Closer... Busy doing what?"
"Kissing your girlfriend."
"Roxy?"
"I don't know her name." I laughed out. "Can you... let me go?"
"Nyet. Not my girlfriend."
"Ok, player, let-me-go."
"I'm not a player." He chuckled.
"Then what the hell?!"
"It was a dare. Ever hear of the game truth or dare?"
"Y-Yeah." No.
"Well, in homeroom we were playing it, and I picked dare, and he dared me to make out with Roxy Morgan."
"Ok? Why are you telling me this?" I asked. He smirked.
"'Cause you were jealous."
"I wasn't." I told him, causally.
"You were, too."
"Whatever makes you sleep at night." He grinned.
"What will I do with you?" He said in a husky tone.
"Let me go finish my taco? They're so good."
"Nyet. I have a better idea..." He kissed up and down my neck. Goosebumps rose on my skin. "Say it," He said.
"Say what?" He kissed my chin, then right next to my lips; almost touching.
"You know..."
"Potseluĭ menya." I whispered.
"Hmm? I could hear you."
"Potseluĭ menya." I said a little louder. He crushed his lips to mine. God, he tasted wonderful. I had no idea what I was doing, but he seemed to be my tour guide in other ways, too. Our lips moved in union. His arm around my waist pulled me closer to him.
He pulled away and look into my eyes. I blushed hard. He finally let me go. I touched my swollen lips with my index finger. He smiled.
"Uhm... Now what?" I asked.
"I uh.. Don't know."
"W-We should get back to lunch." I insisted.
"Good idea."
That was how I got my first kiss. On my second day of school... Gosh do I feel like a whore. I giggled at the thought.

When school ended, Dakota caught up with me. I wanted to walk home today, and he lived my way.
"How far?" I asked.
"A Maybe 20 houses from here." He said, telling me where his house was.
"Why don't we hang out today and like, catch up?"
"Sure." He got something out of this pocket. He flipped it open and pressed buttons, then put it to his ear. "Dad?... Yeah, it's me... Can I hang out with one of my friends today?...What's tomorrow?...Ok... Thanks, bye." He closed the device and put it back in his pocket.
"What is that?"
"A cell phone. You can talk to other people who have them by having their numbers."
"Cool." I said.
"You're clueless of the human world, huh?"
"They're so intelligent. I never lived with such technology."
"A lot of them are stupid and careless, too, so be careful." I nodded. We walked up to my house.
"Let me go ask Gran if I can hang out, too. Be right back." I ran into the house, opening the door, and shutting it behind me.
"Gran?!" I yelled, no answer. Maybe she wasn't home. I opened the front door and faced Dakota. "Come in." He did. I closed the door behind him.
"Let's go to my room." I said. I grabbed his hands and pulled him up the stairs and into my room.
"Smells good in here." He sniffed around the room.
"Sit." I pointed to the bed.
"Funny." He smiled and sat as told.
"Ah. You obeyed."
"I'm trained." I giggled and sat next to him. I suddenly felt gloomy. Fear coursed through me.
"What's happening?" I asked. He held onto me.
"I don't know. I sense something's off.
"I-I'm scared..." I breathed out, gripping his shirt. A black hole appeared in front of us. First legs appears, then the person, or creature, itself. A guy. Black, with grays, hair, black eyes, black outfit, black wings. I was NOT letting go of Dakota, who held me tightly.

Chapter 6.

"Well, well. Look what we have here. Oh, miss Scarlet, where have you been hiding?" The man said. The black whole disappeared into thin air.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"I'm your blood-related grandfather, dear."
"Kole." Dakota said.
"Oh. Dakota. Nice to see you taking interest in my granddaughter." Dakota's nostrils flared as he growled.
"What do you want, Kole?" I asked him.
"You."
"No. I am having a great life. I am not coming with you." I yelled.
"Oh, but you are."
Then everything went black.

I woke up in Dakota's arms in a mysterious bed. In a mysterious room. It seemed Dakota was just waking up, also.
"You ok?" He asked.
"Yeah. Where are we?"
"The Dark Castle." I gulped.
"Oh no..." I breathed out. There was a knock on the door.
"Act like your asleep." Dakota whispered in my ear. I cuddled into him and did so. We heard the door open.
"Hello?" A male voice said. The light came on and we heard a gasp. We stayed perfectly still, though.
"What the- Scarlet and Dakota?" I opened my eyes and saw Trey, shocked. I sat up along with Dakota.
"Trey?" I asked.
"What are you guys doing here?" Trey asked.
"Kole brought us here." Dakota said.
"Oh god." A girl walked in and look straight to me.
"Who's the chick?" She asked Trey. I frowned.
"Violet, that's Scarlet, Maylin's daughter."
"Jeez, where has the time gone?" Violet frowned.
"Why are we?" I asked, rubbing my eyes. Dakota stayed rather quiet, probably already knowing the situation we're in.
"The Dark Castle." Trey explained. "I guess Kole found you."
"How?" Dakota asked. Trey shrugged.
"Kole has his ways." Violet said.
"Especially as the army's new leader. He leads all the battles." Trey said.
"Does he even age?" I asked
"Yeah, but he just keeps his strength." Violet said. I ohed and nodded.
"I was brought to bring you two to Kole." Trey said. I nodded and took Dakota's hand. I didn't care if he didn't want to hold my hand, I was not letting go. Dakota didn't seem to mind. We walked hand and hand down creepy hallways.
We entered a room full of books. It reminded me of the library. Dakota and I walked in. The doors shut behind us. I turned and saw that Violet and Trey didn't come in.
"Tsk, tsk, Scarlet." We heard. I looked at Dakota. We were still holding hands. "All these years of hiding..."
"Why did you bring me here?" I asked.
"You belong here, Scarlet. We're he same blood." Kole appeared at a table, drinking red wine. His wings and expression made him seem exceptionally dark and scary.
"I don't want to be here." I said, shyly.
"Why is that?" He looked a little hurt.
"Well, I have so much I'm looking forward to on Earth. Since I killed my mother, She couldn't really tell me how it was to live on Earth. So now I'm doing it. In her old home, and old bedroom. It's like a dream! I'm lucky I get that much."
"But you're not human. Earth was made for humans and other animals." Kole said, carelessly.
"Earth is free for everyone." I sort of yelled. I was getting mad.
"Heh, is that something your stupid reptile father told you?" That's when I snapped.
"How dare you bring me here without my permission and insult my father!"
"It's not insulting if it's true." I summoned all of my energy to get 'fired' up. Literally. With flames in my eyes, I threw multiple fire balls at Kole, but he seemed to be behind a magic-proof shield. That didn't stop me, though.
"C'mon, you wimp, fight me! I want to see you die!" I screamed.
"You want to kill me? Just like you did your mother?"
"TAKE-IT-BACK!!" I screamed, braking the shield. Kole was burnt, and I knew it. But my energy was drained from my anger and multiple use of magic.
I fainted.

I woke up in comfortable arms. My eyes opened to Dakota who carried me like a child. I blushed and looked away from his face. He was looking ahead, while walking. We were in a forest.
"You injured him badly, you know." He said. I pursed my lips.
"Good..."
"So... That's why you're on Earth? 'Cause of your mother?" I nodded. I guess we really didn't get to hang out and get to know each other.
"I'm sorry..." I whispered.
"For what?"
"Well, you were dragged into that 'cause of me, correct?" I mumbled, looking away. He stopped. "Can you put me down?" I asked. He did so, but wrapped and arm around my waist.
"Listen, I wanted to go. I wouldn't want you to go through it alone." He said, looking into my eyes. I giggled.
"Oh, don't worry, hun. I do a lot when I'm alone. It's better that way." He frowned.
"Stop that." He growled. I blinked.
"Stop what?"
"That fake peppy attitude shit. I can see it in your eyes... You're not going through anything alone anymore. I promise." He took me in a hug. He hugged me close to his chest.I blushed suddenly.
“Dakota…” I sighed out and hugged him back. “You’re so confusing.”
“How?” He chuckled.
“You’re being… strangely nice to me.”
“So?” He pulled away from the hug to look into my eyes.
“So? I want to know why you were suddenly mean, then suddenly nice to me. It’s strange behavior.” I said, thoughtfully.
“I have a reason for everything I do.” He smiled, a beautiful smile. “So, tell me your story now.” I nodded. We walked hand-in-hand in the forest we were in.
“Well, my mother and father’s love was forbidden, which means I shouldn’t be born. That’s why Kole wants me. I wanted to come to human school because of my mother. And you know the rest. That’s really it. Now your turn.” I said.
“Well, I’m the alpha male in my wolf pack starting tomorrow. I was forced to come here by my father to find my alpha female.” He explained. “It was horrible, because human girls through themselves at me. And werewolf hormones are stronger than humans. So, I figured until I find my mate, I have a little fun.”
“Well, you took my first kiss, so am I off the list?” I asked.
“It was your first?” He asked, sounding fairly victorious.
“Yes.” I said, nodding.
“Then I hope I can steal your second.” He smirked. I smiled, but stupidly blushed.
“You should really try to stay a little more pure for your mate. I mean, no girl wants a man-whore.” I told him, teasing him, but he took it seriously.
“I guess you’re right…” He breathed out, looking away.
“Well, I hope you find her, soon.”
“I already found her.” I stopped in my tracks and turned to him.
“Really?!” I asked. “And you kissed me! You are such a man-whore!”
“Is it bad I kissed my mate?” He asked, innocently.
“No, but is it bad that you kissed me! Does she know?”
“Does she know what?”
“That she’s your mate?”
“I don’t think so. She’s pretty slow.”
“Then go and tell her!” I demanded. “Hey, how do you know when it’s your mate?”
“Everything about her will make my senses go wild. Human and wolf senses.”
"That must be agonizing." I said, feeling sorry for him. I'm glad I'm not the one who'll make him suffer.
"Oh, trust me. It is." He said, rolling his eyes back.
"Wait, so you've kissed your mate before?" I asked as we started walking again.
"Yeah. Apparently it was her first."
"Was it Roxy?" I asked, since it was the only other girl that I know he's kissed.
"Ew, no." He shook his head, making a disgusted face that made me giggle.
"Then... I can't think of anyone else... Frikkin' man-whore..." I mummbled, scoffing.
"Think about it."
"Nah,"
