The story starts in a little town called Night Haven. This town is in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by forest. Astrid lives in town and Arabella lives in an old Victorian house deep in the woods, no one dares to venture there. We’ll start off when Astrid has just left work...
Astrid’s POV
Hi, I’m Astrid Vail. I’m a black-haired curvy girl, with a short temper.
I’m walking out of work when my phone rings. I look down and it's Arabella. "Hello?" I answer. "Hey, do you want to sleep over tonight?" She asks. "Yeah sure, what time should I come over?" Arabella thinks for a minute, "around seven. Pack some clothes and movies... Oh, and don't forget your medication this time!" I sigh, "okay. I'll see you in a bit." I hang up and head home to get ready. I am so freaking excited to finally see Arabella! It feels like it’s been forever. I pack super fast and leave my apartment.
Arabella’s at home cleaning up when she hears the doorbell ring. "There is no damn way she is here already!" She walks over and answers the door, and to her surprise, I’m standing on her front porch. "How are you here already? Did you remember everything?" She asks. I roll my eyes, "yes I remembered everything!" We walk back inside. "So, what should we do?" She asks me. I think for a couple of seconds, "since it's such a beautiful day out, why don't we go for a walk through the woods."
"Sounds good to me.” We head outside and start walking through the vast woods behind her house. We are talking and laughing and are enjoying catching up with one another when I, of course, trip over a stump that was hidden beneath the leaves.
Arabella snickers, "are you okay?" I glare up at her while holding my ankle, “no! I twisted my ankle. I can't walk." Arabella comes over and looks at my ankle, "It's very swollen. I'll help you walk back to the house and get you some ice to put on it." She helps me up and we start walking back to the house. Once we get inside she helps me to the couch and then grabs me an ice pack. I put the ice on my ankle and we both relaxed and watch a couple of episodes of supernatural.
A few hours later
“How does your ankle feel?" I carefully move my ankle around, "It's better but still really sore." I say with a yawn. "I think we should go to bed, you seem tired." I agree with her and she helps me up the stairs and we get ready for bed. I lay down and fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.
Arabella’s POV
I stay awake, I can’t stop thinking about... I hear someone knock on the door. "Who could that be,'' I wonder out loud. I silently head downstairs and answer the door. To my surprise, Astrid’s roommate is standing outside. "Faye? What are you doing here?" "I brought Astrid's medication, she forgot it again." I sigh, "She always forgets something when she comes over. Thanks for bringing it." Faye leaves and I head back upstairs.
No more stalling, I already decided to do it! I’m going to turn her into a lycanthrope. I sigh and walk over to Astrid. I feel my canines lengthen, I hesitate for a second then sink my teeth into her neck. After I taste my venom in her blood I lick the wound and sit back up and then I wait.
Astrid’s POV
I jerk and wake up with burning pain and I scream in agony, "AHHH, what's happening to me? Arabella, please help me!" I beg her. She only sits and watches me, waiting for me to pass out from the excruciating pain. Finally, after what seems like forever I lose consciousness.
The next morning
I groan and wake up, "what the hell happened last night?" I ask. Arabella acts innocent, "I have no idea." I look at her a little confused, "why is there blood around your mouth?" I suddenly feel this throbbing pain on my neck, I reach up and touch where it hurts. It was wet, I looked at my hand, and it’s covered in blood. “Why is my neck all bloody?” I ask her in a shaky voice. She looks away from me and doesn’t answer.
"Tell me!" I demanded. "I turned you into a lycan.” I sit there not knowing what to do. "Why the fuck would you turn me into a werewolf...Lycan, whatever the hell it’s called? What am I going to do about my roommate? What the hell am I supposed to do?" I scream at her.
"First of all, you can live with me, and second you can not tell anyone about us unless you want to die. People might know we exist, but they are still very afraid and won’t hesitate to kill you!” I look down, “I don’t want to die.”
"Then you can't tell anyone what happened to you." I groan, "Ugh, fine! So is there anything cool I can do as a Lycan?" Arabella laughs, "Of course there is. You can run fast, even faster than a Vampyre. You can still eat human food but you should eat raw meat too, it will make you stronger." I gagged, "I don't think I will." She sighs, "you will because I'm not giving you a choice." I groan in aggravation. "Fine! So does my temperature change?" I ask. "Yes, but since you just turned it will take some time to change," she explains. I was thinking that this might not be such a bad change until I remember my boyfriend. "So what am I supposed to do about Alec?"
Arabella has never liked my tall blond hair boyfriend Alec Wolfe. She thinks he is an asshole and not good for me. Don’t get me wrong he can be, but he is always very sweet and kind to me.
"You will have to break up with him, he can't know about us. It will be hard for you to control your transformations at first and you won't want to hurt him." I glare at her, "Are you kidding me! We have been together for more than two years! I will not break up with him... So uhh, how dangerous would it be to see him anyway?" I ask. "Well like I already said, you don't know how to control your transformations yet. So anything can trigger you to change forms if you aren't careful," she tells me. "Ah, so seeing him isn't a good idea then?"
"Obviously not," Arabella responds. "We have a slight problem then," I say, giving her a shy smile. Arabella sighs and rolls her eyes, "what did you do?"
"I invited him to come over," I said sheepishly. Arabella groans, "why would you do that, and when did you even find the time to do that?”
"When I went to the bathroom before bed, and because I want to see him! What do we do?" I ask. "Well, as long as you don't get mad you should be fine. Anger is the easiest way to trigger your change, I’ll do my best to keep everything else in check." I was about to say something when the doorbell rings. Arabella goes to answer it.
Standing at the door is a tall, black haired, muscular man. "Who are you?" She asks. "Is Astrid here?" He asks. "She can't talk right now, who are you?" She asks again. "My name is Damon, and I insist that I see Astrid, now!" I yell from the other room, "Who is it, Arabella?"
"Some guy named Damon, he is insisting that he sees you.” I groan, "tell him to fuck off!" Arabella chuckles to herself and turns back to Damon, "she wants you to fuck off, so leave... now!"
"I won't leave until I talk to her!" He says. "Astrid he won't leave," Arabella yells. I get up and go to the front door. I’m so pissed right now, why can’t this bitch take a hint? "What do you want, Damon?" I demand. "I wanted to see you, I missed you," he said. "Ha! That's bullshit. You need to leave Damon." He narrows his eyes at me, "I will not leave until you get back together with me.” I ignore him and turn to Arabella, "I need to talk to you in the kitchen." I was about to leave when I look at him again, "don't move!” Arabella and I go into the kitchen and leave Damon alone on the porch.
"So what's the deal with Damon?" She asks me. "He's my ex who is always bothering me, claiming he wants to get back together. Arabella grins and cracks her knuckles, "I can take care of him for you." I roll my eyes at her, "don't bother" I say. Arabella looks at me confused, "do you still have feelings for him or something." She asks. "God no! It's because he won't be easy to get rid of." Arabella looks at me in surprise, "is he a lycan like us?"
"Nah, he is a Vampyre. He tried to turn me when we were dating. I told him I didn’t want to change, so I dumped him and he’s been a pain in my ass since then.." I explain. "Oh I understand now," Arabella says. "Let's go back out there," I say.
We head back to the door to talk to Damon. "So, are we getting back together?" He asks. I sigh, "I already told you no, so cut the shit and tell me why you’re here!" Damon finally drops the act, "I want to turn you into a Vampyre."
He sniffs the air, "why does it smell so horrible here?" He asks. "Arabella is a lycan," I tell him and she glares at me, "Dude, what the fuck!" I look over to her and tell her to calm down. As we argue Damon tried to sneak behind me, but Arabella notices and growls, "try it and I will rip your fucking head off."
Someone knocks on the door. "Oh shit, it's Alec," I say out loud. How could I make that mistake!!! Damon smiles, "who's Alec?" I look at him, "it doesn't concern you!" I let him inside and he looks around, "hey babe. Who’s the guy?" He asks. "That is Damon, my ex who should be leaving," I tell him. Damon smirks at me, "Is this your new boy toy, Astrid?" He asks. "You need to leave Damon, now!” I growl. “I don’t think so.” he laughs
Damon grabs Alec and bites him on the neck before Arabella and I can stop him, then he throws Alec to the ground. I stood there shocked after what he did. I snap out of it and freak out, "Why the fuck would you do that?" I snarl. I see Alec on the floor screaming and convulsing because of the pain. My breaths turn into ragged gasps, I stalk toward Damon. There is a rush of intense pain like my body is exploding. After a few seconds I look down and see huge silver paws. Arabella moves Alec somewhere safe. I see Damon’s mouth drop open, "Well fuck!"
Damon tries to bolt out the door but I attack. I lunge and try to lock my jaws around his head but I’m inexperienced with fighting, and Damon is able to get his arms around my upper body. He squeezes me as hard as he can, I feel my bones shatter. I howl in agony, which turns into a scream as I shift back and collapse on the floor. “Wrong move asshole," Arabella growls. She shifts into her wolf and charges at Damon. He misjudges her strength and speed and he isn’t able to get away. She locks her jaws onto his head and rips it clean off, spraying blood everywhere. She shifts back into human form and runs over to me.
"Astrid, what can I do?" She asks. I am struggling to breathe but I'm more worried about him, "Is...Alec...okay?"
"He hasn't woken up yet, he might be dead. I need to help you!" She responds "Bite him,” I tell her. She looks at me in shock, "Excuse me! What do you mean bite him". Everything around me starts to turn black and I fight to stay conscious, "I once read that if a lycan bites a Vampyre they could turn into a hybrid." Arabella sighs, "I need to help you! We don't even know if that will work!”
"Do what I say, please! I can't lose him." I sob. Arabella gives in, she goes over to Alec and bites him. He lays there for several minutes without moving . Suddenly he sits up gasping for air, he looks around and sees me on the floor in pain. He starts to freak out a little, he looks at Arabella, "what happened to her?"
"There is no time to explain. All you need to know is that you are a hybrid now and we need to find a way to help her!" She says. "What are we supposed to do?" He asks. Arabella is getting anxious, "I don't know! She is a new Lycan, so her healing abilities haven't developed yet. She could die if we don't find a way to help her!" Alec got an idea, "what if I bite her? Won't she turn into a hybrid?" Arabella stands there stunned, "Oh my god! You're right! You need to bite her now!" Alec comes over to me and bites me.
The pain was unbearable, but I couldn’t move my body. I couldn’t even scream, I lay there and prayed that it would end soon. Hours passed and nothing changed, I was still unconscious and had no idea if I was going to be able to wake up. Arabella and Alec have to think they didn’t help me soon enough.
I sit up and gasp for air, "what happened?" I ask, looking around. Alec and Arabella come over to me. "You were dying,” Arabella says. I look at her confused, “then how am I awake right now?” Why can’t I remember anything, stupid body!
"I bit you, and you turned into a hybrid," Alec explains. Now that he explains it I’m starting to remember everything. How fucked up is all that? "How are you feeling?" Arabella asks me. I think about it for a second, mentally checking my body, "I feel fine, I'm a little tired." Alec kisses me and Arabella makes a face, "Get a room you two." She gags. I giggle and look at Alec raising my eyebrow.
"Oh yes," he says, giving me a sexy smile. Arabella stares at us like we are insane, "I wasn't being serious." I laugh at her, "after the day I’ve had, I’m being very serious." Alec picks me up and we start to head upstairs. "Wait," Arabella says. Alec sighs and pauses. "What is it?" I ask her. "I'm going to plan a hunting trip. You need to learn to hunt and feed as soon as possible," she tells me. “Okay, I'll be upstairs with Alec," I said waving at her. She groans, "I know. Try not to make too much noise." I laugh, "no promise!!” Alec carries me to the bed and locks the door behind him.
