After the meeting and weird conversation with Adrian, Adrianna has found it extremely difficult to sleep.
It was definitely unbelievable and it would be stupid for her to actually believe that such things actually exist, even though she has seen books talking about such things in the library and she just imagined they were real, that didn't actually mean that they were real.
A couple of days have gone by and she hasn't hear from Adrian, so she just classifies him as another rich crazy person. 'Too bad he is crazy, he is kinda cute! No he was hot' she thinks to her self.
Picking up her phone she calls her best friend, telling her to come over.
In less than five minutes her best friend is bursting through her door, "girl... What's wrong? Did something happen? Did that jackass Devon come looking for trouble?" Adrianna just looks at her and burst into a fit of laughter.
"Why are you laughing, just say the word and i will break his jawline for you" feeling touched Adrianna rushes into the arms of her best friend. "I'm good, he has paid me back and also compensated me so I have forgotten about him, this is about someone else" Adrianna says...
"Girl...you don't rest do you, I know you are gorgeous but please take a rest before you really get hurt by them guys" her best friend says with concern laced in her voice.
" I know, that is why I called for you" Adrianna says " what did this one say this time" her best friend asks
Taking a deep breath Adrianna says " you know about those books we used to read for fun and to while away time, what if they aren't just fantasies that were made to amuse us? What if they were real?" She asks her best friend...
Sighing her best friend says" Adria, they are not real okay, did he way he was a vampire, look this isn't some novel okay...
" He called me his mate, no book has said anything about mates, you know like soul mates... I..I.. I don't know, maybe if we do some more research maybe we could find something, because I just can't get it off my mind.
After her best friend agrees to help her, Adrianna decides to calm down.
Determined to uncover the truth, Adriana delves into her old books and online resources about supernatural beings.
She meets with her best friend every time they were free, her best friend who has always believed in the mystical starts believing even more, and they discuss Adriana's encounter with Adrian.
Two days to Adrianna's birthday, Adrian asks her to meet.
She doesn't refuse and goes to meet him.
They talk for a while and he talks about how much he really wants to be next to her and know her more. When she starts to panic, he lets her know that he is willing to wait for her to accept him.
Knowing her birthday was in two days, he gifts her a necklace with a moon and a wolf pendant, she looks at it weirdly but still accepts it.
As they part ways Adrianna needed some drinks for her little get together with the girls for her birthday so since she was already out, she just thought it would be best to get them now.
It was already 8pm by the time she got to her apartment.
The scene before her made her want to back off and run from the building.
She had just put the drinks in the fridge and some on her shelve when she heard sounds coming from her bathroom.
Although frightened she picked up her baseball bat and slowly walked towards the bathroom.
"Oh that was rather quick of you, for a human I mean" and the two men burst out laughing.
"What do you want? I don't have any money for you to steal?" She says as she slowly backs away towards the door of her apartment.
They look at her in a funny way, bringing out their claws and bearing fans that look so unkept and hagard. They walked towards her slowly.
" We don't want money, we want you" after say that they rushed towards her, she falls to the ground and let's out a scream with her eyes closed shut.
As she waits for impact she doesn't fell them, she slowly opens her eyes to see the room empty.
"Nope.. nope... I'm not staying here any longer than I already have" she calls her best friend as she walks out of the building.
As she walks with a quick pase not caring if people called her crazy she runs immediately she gets to her best friends house and sighs a relief sigh.
Telling her best friend what happened, they both decides she can stay for a couple of days and even have her get together at her best friends house.
She had the urge to call Adrian but decides not to later on.
She kept tossing and turning, scared that those men would come back and this time they might even kill her best friend.
Although she still doesn't believe Adrian and she definitely wants to hate him even though she can't, she had to stand strong.
With such thoughts she tells her best friend that she would go back to her place the next day, but her best friend tells her not to worry but to stay here even if it was just till the end of the week or till she felt safe.
'Will I ever be safe?' she thinks to her self, while laying next to her best friend on the bed. Sighing she closes her eyes as sleep takes over.
After her birthday, she kept seeing strange things and the fact that she was starting to get involved with Adrian was not making things okay.
As they investigate, strange coincidences and signs start to appear, making Adriana question her beliefs.
Not wanting to fight the thoughts of Adrian and that what he said could actually be true, she decides to just believe his crazy words even though she wasn't sure she was doing the right thing let's just wait and see where this new relationship takes her, heaven or more hell I am more than ready.
As she moves back into her apartment she is met by Adrian at the door.
"I want to show you something" he says to her
Although she hated the fact that he has been putting her in harm's way, she agreed.
Getting into his car he drives her to the foot of the forest where he stands a couple feet away from her and shift.
She was so scared that she couldn't move, thinking that what was happening was probably from a movie or her mind was playing tricks on her, she falls to the ground when the beast thingy glowing silver rushes towards her and she waits for death to come but it doesn't.
When she looks behind her, she sees what should have been Adrian fighting some weird looking thing.
It was dark but it was huge.
Crack! Was all she heard and tud... As the creature falls to the ground.
She doesn't wait she quickly runs to the side of the road, stops a passing taxi and takes it to her apartment.
