"What can we do?" Cathy cried.

"Nothing" I yell "They've killed them all, we're a few thats left". I look down at the ghostly figures. And turn signaling to move. We run. We run from them. The predators. The hunters. The killers.

We reach the safe spot and huddle in the corner.

"What will we do?" Melanie whines. Cathy holds her trying to comfort her. I look at the people with me. People I've grown to call friends.

Cathy, a 17 year old girl with her shoulder length ash blond hair and deep green eye, her long slim body that has grown with muscles.

Melanie, only 5 years, Cathy's little sister and exactly like her in every way except for her size.

Then theirs Jack and John, the twins both have short oak brown hair and deep oak brown eyes. Their both tall and muscular.

But me I'm different. I have short always ruffled midnight black hair and cloudy grey eyes. My body is also tall and muscular. We're all muscular.

"Dan, when will be able to live happily?" Melanie asks me through her sobs. It's so sad even Jack and John can't lift the mood.

"I don't know Melanie" I say looking out the small gap we use as a door way. "I don't know"

I wake with a start. Dan, Melanie, Jack, John, Cathy all surviving humans. I get up and run to the window and stare up at the mountain. Their there all five of them.

I sigh and look at the floor. Even if I did know where to find them I wouldn't reach the mountain. I walk over and sit on the edge of my bed and weep.

"What's with the water work?" I hear him whisper from behind me. I feel his hand s in my body and I jump up and away retreating to a wall. He laughs evily walking over slowly.

"You know if you don't co-operate you will die" he whispers putting his hands on my hips. I turn my head away. He grabs my face and turns it to face him. Then kisses me.

"You should co-operate human. You'd live a nice life if you do" he whispers and then kisses me again. This time I can't help it I co-operate and I know now that I can't help what happens.

My hands tighten in his hair bringing him closer. I hear him gasp. He knows that I've yeilded and this time it's gone deeper. He slides his hands under my shirt and I kiss him harder.

"This is more like it" he whispers in my ear.

"Why do you do this?" I whisper. He looks at me.

"Cause your love is so sweet" he whispers.

"I don't love you though" I hiss.

"Then why do you whisper my name at night?" he smiles. I curse. Why do I have to love this beast as much as I hate him.

"I..." He puts a finger to my lips. "As long as you and I stay in love you shall live" he whispers. Then before I have chance to speak again he kisses me and the yerning comes back.
