Prologue:

You know all the books and movies that you read and

watched when you were a kid. Yeah, I’m talking about the

faeries, vampires, zombies, and werewolves…… Well as far as

I know they’re not real…well except the last one anyways.

The Were’s. There is not just wolves, but every type you

can think of. If there is an animal there is a were for it,

plus Hybrids, crosses between weres that parents aren’t the

same animal.

Your wondering how I know all this? Well I’m not a

were, but that doesn’t matter to them they want to change

that. They want me to be one of them, but I’m determined to

have none of that. But I can’t hide out forever can I? No,

of course not! So I risk the chance of being taken

everyday! But Why me? Why not someone else? Well because

I’m a breeder. A mortal that can be turned and bear

children, unless a breeder when turned females can’t have

children. But the very few females among them are producing

all males and no females to continue the lines, and that’s

where I would come in and there is a lot of males fighting

over me. So that’s why I’m being Hunted. The one that gets

me keeps me or at least I think that’s what happens.


Chapter 1

It’s Monday morning, first day of senior year. One

year left until I’m outta here for good, but I can already

tell it’s gonna be a long year. The time getting ready for

school went by way too fast and I’m running late. Leaving

my room with my now empty backpack, I run down the stairs

and thru the front door. Sitting in the driveway is my car,

a 1969 red mustang. It’s perfect, shiny without a speck of

rust and runs like it just came off the lot. I run to my

car and get in, start it and I take off. If I don’t get to

school in ten minutes I’m gonna be late and it’s a fifteen

minute drive. There is gonna be speeding I just know it and

I always try to avoid speeding at all costs but as I grow

older it becomes more and more dangerous being alone, and

I’m alone. The streets are dead quiet, there isn’t a soul

in sight and that makes me nervous. The street should have

at least a few people, mothers pushing strollers, old men

getting their mail but there is no people at all. And I can

feel them, their eyes are honed in on me.

Every corner I pass I wait for one of them to jump me.

Times like these scare me, knowing one day they will. That

they will get so desperate to have me that they will just

take me.

But as I start into town I spot one. Not because he

has a tail or anything, but by the way he walks. So

graceful like a ballerina yet so predatory like a tiger

stalking it’s prey. But he isn’t stalking anything, he’s

just walking down the street like any normal person

would do. But he isn’t normal, his steps are calculated,

like he’s trying to slow his pace down. I look away from

him and back to the road ahead of me and I see why he’s been

slowing his pace.


Chapter 2

Up ahead there has been an accident and the road is

blocked by many cars. There is no place to turn around, I’m

trapped. I’m going to have to sit and wait until they clear

a lane. At least there are people in their cars, they would

see if one of those things dragged me out of my car….

wouldn’t they? A few minutes later fire trucks arrive along

with an ambulance and a few cop cars. No one was hurt, it

was just a really bad fender-bender. By the time they moved

the cars I was already late for school and I was still in my

car! I think they wanted me to know they could get me if

they really wanted to. As if reading my mind the guy that I

was watching right before I saw the wreak smiled at me and

walked away. That was just too creepy, can they read minds

too?

The drive was short, weird when your running late it

seems like it takes forever! I find a parking spot and race

into the office. Tammy is in there working the tardy slips

today, she’s pretty cool for her age. She just turned forty

but acts about seventeen. “So why are you late today Lexi?”

she asks. “Well, there was a car accident, don’t give me

that look I didn’t have anything to do with it. I swear!” I

said. “Ok, Ok” she said. “Here take this and get to class

before he flips out on you.” she added. I thanked her and

headed for Chemistry. I always took extra science classes

hoping I’d make it to college and discover why I’m like

this. Dad said as far as he knows none of the females of

our family has ever made it past their eighteenth birthday.

Which makes me feel oh so excited to be turning eighteen in

a few months.

The whole time I’m thinking this this I’m walking

toward the Chemistry classroom. I’m in front of the door

now and I knock because they automatically lock when they

are shut. Some kid opens the door “thanks” I say and walk

toward an empty desk in the back by Kimmi. “Thanks for

saving me a seat Kimmi.” I whisper. “That’s not all I

saved you.” she whispers back while pulling out a small box

of cereal from her bag and tossing it to me. I look at the

tiny box of fruit loops and then turn to her “How do you

always know when I’m gonna be late?” I ask her. She smiles

and says “I’m physic.” I want to laugh but she sounds too

serious and with what I am, I can sort of believe her. “So

what have I missed?” I ask. “Just the usual first day

papers that’s all, here.” She hands me small stack of

papers. “Thanks” “Your welcome” I start to fill out the

papers. They need to just keep the papers we filled out the

first time, and make changes if we need to. I finished them

and put them on the front desk. Still no teacher, weird. I

go and sit down when I start to ask Kimmi where the teacher

is he walks in. I have to hold my gasp in, he’s one of

them. Crap Crap Crap! What am I gonna do!? Act normal,

Act normal! But Kimmi seen me freeze. “What’s wrong?” she

whispers “Nothing” I reply back but my voice sounds like

I’ve been crying, crap. “Right” I hear her say. Then she’s

writing something down on paper, she passes me the note:


Lexi,

you will tell me about this later. And chill before everyone starts staring! Shopping after school?


I reply back to the note with a simple “ok”. I tried

to relax throughout the class but remained tense. The class

was finally over and I raced out (more like ran!) all I

remember from that class was that we got our books and a

worksheet. I hope there are examples of these problems in

our books or I might just have to get Kimmi to help me.

After chemistry the day was pretty eventless, other than

getting a ten pound Algebra II book and a couple others from

different classes. Which I was not looking forward to

packing around. Finally school was out and I skipped going

to my locker since I had homework in every subject, you

would think that being the first day they wouldn’t hammer us

with worksheets and essays yet but think again. It’s time

to spill my guts all over Kimmi’s pretty shoes. Great.

Kimmi road with me to the mall, I really didn’t want to

go shopping it wasn’t my thing. But it sure was Kimmi’s!!

She’s like an energizer bunny she never gets tired of

shopping. After like the third store she finally asks “So

what happened in chemistry??” “You won’t believe me if I

told you.” I said. “Try me.” she replied. “You will think

I’m crazy….” I barely got out before she shouted “JUST TELL

ME ALREADY!” people were staring now.
