herself and squeezing her eyes tight, trying to fall asleep.

Evelyn was dozing off when she heard the door open and somebody walked in and over to her side, touching her shoulder but not her skin, "Hey, Evelyn," she opened her eyes and sat up, looking at Lance then her eyes flickered to the cup in his hand "Lilly said to give this to you, it'll help with the skin thing," she nodded and took the cup, draining it quickly and handing it back, he placed the cup on a bed side table and walked around to the other side of the bed and she turned around, looking at him with a raised eyebrow.

"What are you doing?" Evelyn asked when he sat down in the bed, under the covers and turned to face her, his elbow propped up against one of the pillows, his head in his hand.

"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm sleeping in my bed," Lance said and she sighed, standing up and chucking a pillow at his head as hard as she could, glaring at him as the pillow hit him on his head.

"Then can someone drive me home? Or must I walk at ten at night?" Evelyn asked and he grinned, lunging at her and wrapping his arms around her small waist, pulling her back onto the bed as she struggled hard, trying to wiggle her way out of his tight grip and hitting him on his arms and punching his chest.

"Neither, you're staying right here," Lance said, holding her against his chest under the covers as she struggled harder but he wouldn't release her, his arms were locked around her like steel.

"Release me you mutt!" Evelyn yelled, but he just chuckled and held her tighter to him.

"I don't want to, just one night please, then I'll leave you alone," Lance begged in a whisper by her ear and she sighed and stopped struggling.

"Fine," She muttered and sunk into the bed, closing her eyes and resting her head against his chest.

"Thank you," he whispered in her ear and just by the tone of his all-to-happy voice, she could tell he was smiling. She rolled her eyes under her eyelids and pulled her arms close to herself, falling into a dreamless sleep, yet slightly peaceful in his arms. 6

Evelyn woke up, feeling Lance's arms still around her, she sighed and tried to break his steely grip, using her strength as she felt a buzz in her head, the stuff she had drank last night must have been wearing off.

"L-Lance let g-go," She squeaked as his grip tightened and her vision blurred, suddenly it was gone and she could hear his dreams and see them.

He was kissing a girl, she had long brown hair sort of like Evelyn's but cleaner and it shined brightly, there eyes were closed but she knew it was Lance from his brown hair and form. She could hear the noises they were making and she tried to close her eyes but she remembered it was in her head, not in front of her and she groaned, searching for her body to shake Lance, but it didn't work and she could still see them kissing and they broke apart, opening there eyes and in the girls... she saw turquoise,

Evelyn was jolted back to reality as he woke up, releasing her when he saw her blurry eyes and he stood and she sat up, rubbing her head.

"I'm so sorry Evelyn," Lance said, he actually sounded like he was sorry, but it was probably because the stuff had wore off.

She grabbed a pillow and started hitting him with it as hard as she could "How dare," she snarled at him, using as much strength as she could to hit him "You," she said between hits "Dream," and hit him harder as he tried to grab it from her "About kissing," she hit him even harder with the pillow "Me!" she hit him again but this time on the head.

"How did you know what I was dreaming?" Lance asked, grabbing the pillow from her as he rubbed his aching head and arms. Evelyn froze, they didn't know about that yet and she had just given it away. She whirled around, running out of the room and down the stairs, hearing his footsteps coming after her she ran quicker, out he front door in the living room and she saw she was in a forest.
Evelyn began running again, into the forest and a giant black wolf jumped out in front of her, making her yelp and run to the side, grabbing a branch of a tree and pulling herself up, glad it was slim and the wolf couldn't reach it's height.
She went as high as she could without breaking a branch and stopped on one, she must have been double her usual height, but she didn't care, if anyone came she could just jump, she had nobody anyway, nothing she cared for or who cared for her.

"Yo, anybody seen Evelyn? Lance's lookin'," She heard a voice say and then heard bunches of footsteps walk out of the house and into the woods, knowing that they would have a hard time finding her.

"Dude, she's really could at hide and seek," She heard Cody say and she smiled slightly, resting her head against the tree trunk.

"Evelyn!" A soft, strong voice called, sort of like Lilly's but not exactly, it sounded younger.

She looked at the forest ground, watching a couple people she didn't know walk right by her tree and not notice her.

"So you like trees," A voice said by her and she turned her head, seeing a little girl in a tree by her, she had tan skin and long blond hair that was pulled back into a braid and hanging by her side.

"Yeah, I guess so," Evelyn said quietly, watching the girl as she swung from a branch in the tree and landed lightly on her tiptoes in the same tree as her.

"I'm Ava, and were you really going to jump of the tree? You wouldn't only be killing yourself, but also my brother and anyone who comes near your body when he's still alive," Ava said, frowning at her as she sat on a branch near her.

"I was contemplating it, but I suppose I can't, it wouldn't work anyway, watch," Evelyn said, pushing off the branch and falling through the air, her hair flying beside her and she saw Ava jump after her, a wild smile on her face as they came close to the ground and they both bent their knees, absorbing the impact easily.

"That was awesome! Can we do it again?!" Ava asked excitedly as she straightened out, she was about 4'3" and her top of her head ended around Evelyn's belly button.

"Ava! That was dangerous! Go to your room," A voice behind them said and Evelyn jumped, turning around to face Lance and ran the opposite way. She ran towards what she hoped was the town as the trees thinned out and she saw a house... her house. She was about to climb up the balcony when arms wrapped around her, covering her mouth as she started to scream and she was dragged back into the forest, her vision blurring over as his thoughts filled her mind.

God, why does Lance's mate have to be so much trouble, it's sickening the way she tries to runaway so much, she doesn't even know her uncle's dead,

She felt tears sting her eyes as he thought God, she won't even move, it's like Ava's doll, rag doll actually, her hair is so greasy, ugh we should lock her in the bathroom for a couple of hours,

Evelyn passed out from the pain a moment later, waking up she found they had actually locked her in the bathroom and she felt tears prick her eyes again and she sighed, she hated all of them for ruining her life.
Standing from where she had been laying on the hard ground, she saw a note that only said 'Shower now' and tore it up, chucking the pieces on the ground.
She pulled a towel from the closet and saw clothes on the sink, they looked like Lilly's. She took off her old nasty ones and dropped them in a garbage, she turned the water on and got in, taking a quick shower and stepped out after turning off the water, drying her hair and body, she put the clothes on, they were a bra, panties, short shorts, and a tight black t-shirt.
She sighed, walking to the door and twisting it, but it wouldn't open, she glanced at the clock and saw it was night again. She tried opening the door again and it still wouldn't open, it was locked from the outside just as the person had thought.
Evelyn kicked the door handle as hard as she could and it broke, swinging open and she sighed, taking a piece of paper and finding a pen on the sink, she wrote 'Sorry' on it and placed it in the doorknob.
She walked out quietly and down the stairs, she sat on the couch and closed her eyes, falling asleep almost instantly.

Evelyn woke up to people talking, she heard someone say her name and froze, breathing as if she was asleep and kept her eyes closed, she could feel the material of the sofa under her and was glad they had left her there, she was feeling incredibly nosy and mad that day from being locked in the bathroom and having laid on the bathroom's floor for who knows how long.

"God, you have one strong mate," A voice said, she had never heard it before, she could hear footsteps coming into the living room, then the creak of a couple of couches as around four people sat down.

"I don't think you'll be able to handle her," Another voice added that she determined to be Cory's.

"If she even accepts you, she'll probably reject you anyway, I think she already is," A different voice said.

"Awesome, I'll be a only child soon, not including Ava," She heard Daniel's deep voice say and heard someone sigh.

"I'm glad you're happy Daniel," Lance
