Chapter 4

Begin here loves.

---

Astrid helps her to her feet and takes a step back. "It's called forsight, I can see events that happen before they happen." He puts his hand up in the air and grabs a leaf that had fallen from the tree above without a single glair in it's direction.

"Oh, sort of like Vates?" She asked, reaching for the leaf. I think you got taller...


Bekah appered into the room right then, and smiled when she saw Astrid. "Astrid!" she gasped, tackeling him in a hug. "Hey! When did you get back?!" she asked, excited.

Jenna looked at Astrid. "wait didnt we just get rid of... er um i mean didn't you just die?" she said smiling then huged him to show that she was kidding.

Ascriot hugged Astrid from behind and whispered in his ear. "I don't think I'll ever get over being jealous when people other than me have you, love."

Jenna rooled her eyes "you would Ascriot, you would"

Ascriot just rolled her eyes and stood up. She jumped up onto the balcony ledge, looking over the edge. She looked back with a michievious glint in her eye and jumped.

Astrid grins and jumps right behind her, falling faster with every second, laughing on the way down.

Ascriot laughed and twisted suddenly, kicking off of the lighthouse wall.

Bekah watched this nonsence from the sky and wondered if Matt was alright...

Ascriot flew silently up behind Bekah and grabbed her, wrapping her arms aroundher waist as she dove out of the sky, headign towards the ground.

Daniel watched, unsure of what to do, should he help?

Ascriot laughed and released Bekah, testing her instincts.

Bekah flipped, gracefully and landed on her feet. "Haha very funny Ascriot." she grinned, it was pay back time. Instantly, Bekah jumped and tackeled Ascriot to the grassy floor. Bekah laughed as she saw Ascriot's bewithered face. "Gotcha." she cooed, as she stood.

Ascriot grinned, bracing herself on her hands, and swiped a kick at Bekah's legs, knocking them from under her, and flipped upright. She whipped out a swod and waited for bekah.

Daneil completely misread what was going on and ran in between Ascriot and Bekah."Please dont fight..". He covered his eyes scared to look in case one of them attcked him for messing up their battle.

Ascriot's face broke into a small smile as she dropped her sword and walked over to hug the small boy. "It's alright Danny-boy. I'm just training Bekah a bit."

Jenna smiles evily then looks to Ascriot "do you need some, help?"

Ascriot rasised an eyebrow. "With Bekah, no. With keeping at eht op of my game... yes ma'am."

Jenna smiled and tackled Ascriot without another word.

Ascriot leapt over Daniel and intersepted Jenna in the air so Daniel wouldn't get hit. Jenna wasn't known to look before she leapt.

Jenna falls to the ground with an OOF then reached around and took out Ascriots legs.

Ascriot also fell, causing a small earthquake as she did.

bekah laughed at the sight, grabbed Daniel and flew to a safer area. "Come now, danny, lets watch from a higher view." she grinned placing him ontop of the roof before settling down next to him.

Daniel held on as they took off, he then sat down, hoping they wouldn't kill each other.

Ascriot pinned Jenna and summoned up a ball of water.

Bekah laughed " Dont worrie younge one, theyre only play fighting." she soothed, reading his thoughts.

Ascriot used the water to capture Bekah and thorw her into the middle of the faux fight.


"Whoa!" Bekah cried as she was draged into the fight. Dodging, and kicking as she defended herslef. "Since when was this my fight?" Bekah asked.

Jenna flips up and over Bekah pinning Ascriot..

Daniel nearly fell over as Bekah was grabbed.

Ascriot placed placed Daniel in a protective bubble, flippingthe thin Jenna off and tackled Bekah's leg, whipping fire out in a whiplike fashion at Jenna.

Daniel watched, pressing his hands against the bubble. He marvelled at how Ascriot moved.

Ascriot grunted as bekah pressed her kneess against her throat. Black and red swirled around the edge of her vision.

Daniel whacked against the bubble trying to get out, thinking the fight was going to far.

Father Reid ran forwards into the forest clearing, all he saw was two women fighting. "Ladies please...". He grabbed Bekah and pushed her back, bending down to Ascriot. "Are you ok my lady"?

AScriot's hand was icy against his hand, but she accepted it and stood up. "thank you. adn Yes, I am. We were sparring." she clicked her fingers and released the bubble, holding her arm out for Daniel to come to her. she bowed at teh waist. "I'm Lady Ascriot. and you are?"

Daniel ran over and hugged Ascriot, he then looked at Reid who just smiled at him. Reid turned back to Ascriot."I see..sparring...that's rather...strange..oh and who is this young man"?

Ascriot played with Daniel's hair. "This is Daniel, my ward. Daniel.. this is..." Ascriot looked at Reid's clothing. "Father..." she waited for him to say his name.

"Father Reid". He finished it for her and smiled pleasently at Daniel. "It's a pleasure to meet you both..". He stared at Ascriot, something was off about her.

AScriot just smiled pleasantly at the Father and led him and Daniel inside.

"Im sorry to hassel you but do you have any bandages..see..I caght myself while travelling". Reid held out his cut hand that was bleeding a fair bit, but not enough to be dangerous.

Daniel's eyes instantly went wide as he saw the warm red pur liquid.

AScriot's nose flared and she stopped, gripping Daniel's shoulder.

Reid wondered why they were staring."Are...you ok". He walked forwards.

Daniel ran out of the room quickly.

Ascriot walked backwarsd for every step the Father took forwards.

Reid frowned, this was weird, he held his hands up."No...no I'm not going to hurt you..please..don't be scared". Blood dripped onto the floor, he took a gentle step forwards, trying to calm her.

Ascfriot's eye turned a bright red, and she growled at him, fangs bared. She felt Daniel shaking on the other side of the door, and she backed up.

Reid's eyes widened in horror. "Va-vampire".

AScriot turned her head and left teh room, shaking.

Reid's eyes widened, he reached into his bag and got out his cross.

Ascriot shivered and walked back in, hopeing she nmastered her blood lust.

Reid spun around quickly intending to use the cross against Ascriot.

Ascriot just bit her lip and walked over, summoning bandages to follow her. She grabbed Reid's wrists and flipped his palm up, cleaning out teh wound, and wrapping it up. "There." she said quietly.

Reid tried to pull his hand away, but her grip was to hard.

Ascriot looked Reid in the eye. "I'm no... WE are not monsters..." she whispered.

Reid swallowed hard, he looked at Daniel in the hall way."Please get your hand off me". Daniel looked down sadly, not liking the fact this man hated them so much.

AScriot felt Daniel's sadness and her eyes went red again. She growled and picked the father up by his throat, slammin ghim against the wall. "I didn't have to protect you from the others... from myself. I don't think you realise what a test, what a temptaion it is for us to smell human blood and WALK away from it." Her voice resonated a deadly calm.

Daniel hid behind the door, scared of Ascriot.

Reid chocked as he was easily thrown against the wall, like a ragdoll in Ascriots hands. "Yet you monsters..take...human life without...a...care". He chocked out.

Ascriot's eye color softened. "No. We don't. Why are you so afraid of us?" She gestured out teh window. "My love Astrid wasn't afraisd ofus before I turned him. Bekah wasn't frightened." her persona became soothing in an instant. "You have no need to fear us, but why do you?"

Reid looked down, he looked at Daniel and smiled."There is no need to fear child..please come in the room". He held is hand out, Daniel came in hesitantly at first. Reid answered. "Your nature...written in books..is rather distasteful".


Ascriot threw her head back and let out a light, rippling laugh. She giggled and shook her head, amused. "Count Dracula wrote those accounts down to protect our race." she smiled at DAniel, kissing the thop of his head.

Reid smiled at Daniel, who gave him a smile in return, Daniel then looked up at Ascriot. "I like him".he said, Reid laughed slightly.

Ascriot lovingly ruffled Daniel's already unruly hair. "Well then, if oyu like him, little Danny Boy, We'll keep him." her eyes flashed up to Reid. "you can show him the way to the room next to Astrid's."

"Keep me"? Reid laughed nervously."Like a pet". He looked a little tentative.

AScriot laughed again. "No. It just means you're a part of our family here. If you're ever in trouble, we'll protect you."

Lexa saw the lighthouse from a distance, and looked behind her. The half man, half wolf had stopped to sniff for her, adn she hoped that wading throught he stream had thrown off her scent. She continued running, aiming for the lighthouse.

"If that is alright..I do not wish to intrude on your family". Reid bowed, and looked up."And...I..would like to apologise for my actions to the both of you, I should not have judged you..you both seem like kind people".

Daniel grinned up at Ascriot.

Ascriot grinned at Daniel. "You would be intruding if you did not join the family. I..." Her head snapped to the window when she heard a scream. Ascriot ran to teh window to see a huge wolf chasing a small woman. The smell screamed werewolf. Ascriot ran tot eh other window and let loose a pericing whistle. "WEREWOLF!" she cried. "Clan to me!" she ran out the door and into teh yard, panting.

Reid and Daniel ran outside aswell. Reid saw the running women and instantly ran to her side while Ascriot and her clan delt with the werewolf. As Reid got closer to her he saw Lexa slip, he caught her in his arms and fell down."Are you ok". His eyes widened when he saw how beautiful she was, he swallowed hard, instantly feeling himself blush.

Lexa's eyes fluttered closed for a moment, and she nodded slowly, falling unconscious.

Ascriot saw Reid walk off with her, then cried out when the werewolf ripped her arm open. She blasted a fireball in it's face, and called to fallback.

Reid carried her into the room and placed her on the sofa. He quickly ran over and got a wet cloth, placing it on her face to try and cool her down. He gently stroked her hair trying to wake her up. "Miss...miss.."?

Daniel hide away from the werewolf.

Ascriot laid the final spell that kept any werecreatures off the premisise, and walked inside, holding her arm. She walked in and watched Reid care for the young lady.

Lexa's eyes flew open, and she looked intot eh kindest eyes she had ever seen.

Daniel ran inside, clinging to Ascriot. "Your arm". He looked at it. "Does it hurt.."?

Reid smiled."Im glad your ok". He slurred and stumbeled with his words, he sat back as he realised how close their faces were.

Lexa sat up drowsily, looking around.

"Dont worry..you're..safe...". Reid stood up and backed off, unable to look at her really.

Ascriot walked in and patted reid's arm, kneeling beside Lexa.

Reid was fiddling with his sleeve, looking at Lexa occassionally.

Ascriot shooed him away and checked Lexa over, poking and prodding gently, soothing her and bandanging her wounds.

Reid waited outside with Daniel, he smiled and began to talk to the boy, though his mind was on Lexa in the room. She was stunning.

Lexa wondered who that handsom man was the entire time Ascriot checked her over. She knew what Ascriot was, but was oddly at ease with her.

AScriot read her mind and started wrapping up Lexa's ribcaeg. "His name is Father Reid."

Reid came back in with a glass of water, he looked down and offered it to her, his head bowed, unable to make eye contact.

Lexa took the glass of water and siad thank you softly, seeing Daniel in the doorway.

Daniel smiled and waved at her, walking in and hiding behind Reid.

Reid looked down and patted the kid on the head, he then began to fiddle with his sleeve.

Lexa waved back to Daniel. "I'm Lexa." she said finally.

"Lexa". Reid said in a rather love lorn way, he then realised he had said it out loud. "Oh..I should...get you some..medicine". He spun around a little quickly and walked into the door with a bang, he fell back and staggered, clutching his face.

Daniel laughed.

Lexa laughed softly, getting up and going over to him.

Reid turned around to see Lexa, he removed his hand to reveal a rather red door shaped mark on his forehead. He looked down nervously nd shyly smiled.

Daniel looked at the both of them, he then ran over and hugged their legs.

Lexa stumbled into Reid, and smiled down at Daniel. Lexa didnt realise that her arm was around reid's waste to stabalize her balance.

Ascriot smiled and released a silent spell that allowed the scene in front of her to be captured in a circular prism like crystal upstairs.

Daniel looked up at them and grinned.

Reid blushed when he realised where her hand was, he bit his lip and looked down at the small vampire child.

Lexa felt a slight tugging in her heart as she realised that she was falling for Reid. She blushed and stepped apart. She looked at Daniel.

Reid stepped back and looked down, nibbling his lip nervously.

Daniel smiled as Ascriot. "We should all go down to the beach tonight and watch the sunset".

Ascriot grinned and stood up. "We should. I'll make dinner." she beckoned Daniel to the kitchen. She whispered. "why don't we let them eat by themselves on the beach... ehh?" She grinned adn winked at him.

"So erhh..". Reid look down. "Why are you...travelling alone its...dangerous".

Daniel followed her into the kitchen.

Lexa looked out teh window. "I was traveling, and this... thing... started chasing me." she said, offering no other story.

AScriot got the food ready, and rehersed the plan with Daniel.

"I believe it was a werewolf". Reid smiled and nodded.

Lexa shivered and involuntarily stepped closer to Reid. "Wahtever it was, I don't want to see it again."

AScriot finished and came out. "time for supper." She said brightly before warping them out to the beach.

"Woh". Reid nearly fell over as the transported to the beach, he stared out to the sea that sparkled in the life.

Daniel grabbed a can of coke from the picnic basket and sat down.

aScriot helped Lexa sit down and handed her some food. "Sit down Reid." she said, indicating a spot on a beached log next to Lexa.

Reid nodded and sat down next to Lexa, accidentally placing his hand on hers. "Sorry". He pulled it away quickly.

Lexa blushed and looked down at her lap.

Ascriot just smiled, and spent the time until the sun went down chatting with Daniel. As soon as the sun touched the horizon, she stood up adn winked at Daniel. "Mkay. I'm taking Daniel to bed, and I'll be back in a jiffy." she held her hand out for daniel and warped out of the area, leaving the two alone.

Daniel got up, smiling as he knew the plan.

Reid watched them go and looked down at his hands.

Lexa sighed quietly and fiddled with her hands, looking at the sunset, then over at Reid. Her heart started pounding as she admired the way the sunset's light hit his face. She elaned in to kiss his cheek.

Reid turned to look at Lexa, not seeing her lean towards him.

Lexa stopped in suprise as her lips met his, instead of his cheek.

Reid was so caught off by the kiss he fell backwards off the log, dragging Lexa down ontop of him with her.

Lexa gasped and didn't move, to stunned too. She just stayed there, eyes wide, her hands and knees in the sand on wither side of him.

AScriot snuck upa nd watched them, smiling. She sighed incoherantly and reached out in her mind for her love.

Reid looked up at her, not knowing what to do. His hands were on her shoulders, he just looked at her.

Lexa looked into his eyes, then her eyes involuntarily slid down to his lips. She dragged them back up to his eyes, and a slight blush colored her cheeks.

Reid cupped her face and leant up and kissed her.

Lexa smiled softly and leant down, meeting him halfway.

Reid kissed her, his hands in her hair, they kissed for a while and then fell asleep in the sand.

Ascriot watched, smiling, then returned to the lighthouse.

~ THREE MONTHS LATER ~

---

Lexa woke up refreshed. She got up, washed her face, and went downstairs to fix breakfast.

Daniel was already at the tabel, drinking some orange juice.

Reid came out of his room and smiled at Lexa.

Bekah entered the room as well, "Oh!" Bekah smiled at the new comers. "Hello! Im sorry to intrude!" bekah smiled again.

AScriot yawned and came in, playfully bonking Bekah on the head. "They've been here for almost three months now, Beks."

Lexa smiled back. "Pancakes, or waffles?" She asked.

"I don't mind...". Reid just smiled pleasently, inwardling mulling over the question he had for Lexa. "Hey..I need to talk to you later".

Jenna sighed at all the couples "Ascriot, do you remember when it was only you and i? like before Astrid, lol i hated him so much, anyway I miss that, i mean being able to wlk in a room and not see people making eyes at each other, truely it disgusts me." then she smiled to make the new(ish) commers know she was kidding.

Ascriot looked at Jenna. "Dearest, maybe we can write out our story later, so you can havea copy to give to newcomers to let them know." she rolled her eyes at Jenna and handed her a blank book. On the front page in rolling script, was the title Lighthouse Beginings, Part 1. "You can start. STart with when you found me, year, blah blah blah, when we found the lighthouse, worked on it, etc. I'll add when you're done."

Lexa lokoed at him and nodded. "Sure thing dear."

Reid lead her outside by the hand, he looked down, blushing. "I have..had feelings for you for a while and wondered..well..it's so wonderful here..maybe..we could stay here...together..forever". He stopped. "Want I'm trying to ask is..will you marry-". He was cut off as someone jumped onto of him. Stacy launched ontop of Reid, hugging him tightly."I FOUND YOU".

Lexa was pushed to the side when a strange girl tackled Reid. "Yes, I will."
she said softly, brushing herself off.

"Really". Reid tried to get up but was hugged by Stacy."Excuse me young girl..would you mind". They were wriggling on the floor. Stacy just beamed but then looked up at Lexa, he eyes flashed and she beared her fangs, blood lust taking over. She leapt on Lexa.

Lexa squeeled as the girl pounced on her. Lexa curled intoa ball and covered her neck with her arms.

Reid yelped and tried to grab Stacy."Please..stop...". He grabbed Stacy and fell backwards.

Stayc thrashed around, her eyes blood red, she was in a frenzy at the moment.

Jenna slaped stacy across the face "knock it off you fool, quit being an idiot. My lighthouse my rules restrain yourself or i will do it for you."

Ascriot just yawned and looked at Daniel. She grabbed the pancakes and started making them, yawnign again.

Stacy grabbed ahold of Reids arm and glared at them all, giving Lexa a rather disgusted look. Reid just smiled nervously and tried to remain calm."Now now..there is no need for any of this..let's just all go inside...come on..I;m sure we can get you a drink in there". He petted Stacy on the head.

Ascriot set out a styrofoam cup and a pitcher full of red juice for the newling vampire. "Knock yourself out." she said, checking Lexa. She put a salve on a scrape on her arm, then went back to the pancakes.

Lexa shivered and stood close to Reid. "My answer is yes, just to let you know." She whispered to him.

Reid smiled at her, really shocked by her answer."Thats..well....". He kissed her on the cheek, Stacy shuffled, getting a little moody with it. She hugged Reid's arm more.

AScriot grabbed the newling's arm and pulled her to the table. "Eat, newling." she barked.

Stacy began to eat a fair bit, she had gone a while without food. She drank and ate while Reid watched. "Dont I know you young lady". Reid asked, Stacy nodded her head.

Lexa and ascriot raised their eyebrows.

"Stacy..that's your name...we met in Italy am I right...oh its good to see you in such good condition". Reid smiled and sat by Stacy, Stacy just nodded while eating, ignoring everyone else in the room.

Lexa huffed and walked out of the room. Ascriot just perched in the corner of the kitchen, pulling out a wooden circle with eight slits and a circle in teh center. She strung thread through it, adn started weaving something.

Reid watched Lexa go, he wondered after her. "What's wrong"?

Lexa shook her head. "Seh ruined a perfect moment, thats all."

Reid just smiled and walked forward, taking Lexa's hands."Nothing could ruin a moment with you". He tilted her head and reached into his pocket, he brought out a ring."I...got this..just in case for you".

Lexa's face softened. "Oh my. It's beautiful!" she whispered.

Reid put it on her finger gently, it shone in the light. "We should marry as soon as possible...and start a family of our own".

Lexa looked up at him. "Can we adopt Daniel?"

"Of course...he's become rather attached to you". Reid smiled and nodded, also turning to Stacy. "Id like to offer her a home too, even if its for a small while, she always seems to be wondering by herself."

Lexa sighed. "We can adopt her too." Seh looked upat Reid. "I've been thinking about.... turning..." she stammered. "I..I was p.pplanning on adoptig Daniel a.a.anyway.... but..."S he took a deep breath. "what if we... both... turn... and adopt Daniel and Stacy after we get married..." She looked him in the eyes.

Reid looked down, thinking about it, Stacy and Daniel were both vampires, they;d never age s her and Lexa would. He looked up and smiled "Of course..I want to spend the rest of my life with you...you and our family".

Lexa's face lit up. She jumped on him and hugged him tightly, wrapping her legs around his waist. "Oh thank you!"

"I love you". Reid hugged her back hard, spinning her around.

Jenna looked around saying "well this could get very awkward very quickly so if you dont mind im going to take a walk bye ladys and gentlemen"

Ascriot laughed at Jenna.

Lexa hugged him tightly.

Later That Day

Bekah looked up into the night sky,she was on the roof of the lighthouse and the moonlight reflected off her skin like as if she was made of water. Bekah smiled up at the sky as she looked towards the heavens, gaizing at the stars. The stars shone like diamonds, or perhaps like her skin. Bekah laughed at herself, in spite of what shes gotten herself into. "Awh, man.." She sighed and rolled over to her side, gazing at the forest from where her next meal would come from... Moments pasted and something caught her eye. She smiled, for she knew it was fresh blood. Bekah stood and streched like a feline. Then carefreely stepped off the side of the building, and into the forest...

Stacy and Reid was sat upon a hill near by, spending some time together, Reid wanted to teach Stacy about God the same way his church taught him, by showing her the beauties of the world first hand. "You see the stars Stacy". He pointed, Stacy leant on her step-fathers shoulder and nodded. "God gave us those to show us that even in the darkness, light still shines somehwere, even though it's millions of miles away, it's always there to protect us".

Ascriot watched the stars from on top of the lighthouse, staring at the stars, watching one go shooting by.

*In The Woods*
Meanwhile Bekah caught a deer that was grazing in a meadow. Bekah swiftly tore out the deer's throat, sucking it clean.

Stacy looked up and smelt blood, she instantly stood up and began to follow it, clawing her way through the dark forest. "STACY WAIT". Reid jumped up and went after her, but due to being human more fell through the forest than got through it, he got hit by every branch trying to find her.

Bekah quickly desposed of the corpse and washed the blood from her hands and mouth in a nearby pond before standing, as she turned something caught her eye...

The thing that caught her eye then fell through the bush and onto the ground, Reid was on the floor holding his head in his hands. He quickly jumped up, brushing down his preist robes. He couldnt see Bekah in the darkness. "Is that you Stacy"?

In one quick movement, Bekah stood before him. Not knowing him as the others did, she didnt esacally like the human. His blood was to tempting. "Hello.." Bekah smiled down sweetly at the human. Her eyes flickered around, she could sence they wouldn't be alone..for long...

Reid jumped back, not Stacys voice. "Oh..sorry for intruding..."> HE bowed apologetically, still unable to see well in the dark. "I'm looking for my daughter...she wondered off..". He looked around, as if trying to see her.

Bekah frowned. "Cant you see man?" she reached out and touched him, his arm was warm, she could feel his blood pulsing through his veins. At that bekah quickly withdrew her hand, taking a few steps back. No, i cant hurt the human she thought as she held her breath.

"See in this darkness..heavens no..though no doubt my daughter can..STACY"! Reid called out, walking over to the other side of the clearing, calling out again for her.

Bekah followed him, " There, there kind sir. It's I, Bekah, from the Lighthouse. Stacy is not with us.." she informed him, she could hear the fear in his voice.

Reid walked a little faster, looking from left to right, calling out her name. She must have run off side tracked, she tended to suddenly track something down and run after it.

Bekah matched his pase with no effort at all. "Be at ease father.." she spoke with a soft voice. "What is troubling you?" at that she quickly switched sides for now she was on his left. "Don't worrie, I wont hurt you.." she laughed darkly.

Reid nodded, walking a little faster. "I do not mean to trouble you..but please stop following me". He looked at her and then down, he then nearly tripped over but caught himself on a tree.

"Im sorry, but i can not." Bekah switch sides again. "You have not troubled me, and I'm afraid you'll get lost...or eaten in these woods...But if it helps calm your nerves, I will back away.." at that Reid was alone on the forest floor...

Reid carried on walking, he saw a figure in the distance and smiled."Stacy". He ran towards it.

Bekah watched as Reid ran towards the figure, suddenly bekah swooped down and caught Reid, knocking him to the ground..

Reid fell to the floor with a thwack, he held his arm, goraning in pain as he felt it break. He winced and looked up. "what"?

Bekah's eyes grew wide as she smelled the blood, yet she stood facing the gigantic wolf that was crouched before them...

Reid slowly got up, his arm held to his chest. He looked at the wolf in fear, ducking as it pounced at him.

Bekah caught the wolf before it could touch Reid, throwing it back into a tree. The wolf growled as it flipped over and went to attack Bekah. Suddenly Bekah grabbed Reid and flew up into the sky, she held her breath and faught the temptation of killing him herself.

Reid was suddenly floating, no flyig, he looked down and began to panick, squirming and wriggling in Bekahs hold.

"REID!" Bekah yelled at the frightened man. "Do You Want Me To Drop You?" she asked. They were barely above the tree tops as she flew towards the Lighthouse....Suddenly out of nowhere the ginormous wolf jumped out of the tree tops pouncing at Reid's legs. Bekah shreaked and flew higher, barely out of reach...

Reid's leg was caught and he was dragges out of Bekahs hands, he fell backwards down towards the ground. He closed his eyes tightly and prayed to God he'd have a soft landing.

Out of nowhere Bekah appered and caught Reid right before he hit the ground, tearing open the wolf's mouth, setting him free...

Reid rolled as they both hit the floor together, he hit his head on a near by rock and fell unconcious. Stacy dove through the forest to see her father. "DAD". SHe yelled, she bared her fangs at the wolf joining in the fight with Bekah.

Bekah slung the wolf towards an oak.."Where were you?" she asked Stacy, dodging the wolf's next attack..

Stacy didn't answer, she merely stood still, she held her arms across her, concerntrating. As the wolf came to pounch her she swung her arm around grabbing it by the throat and breaking its neck. She sighed, rubbing her forehead, she then ran over to Reid and bent down next to him. She moved a piece of hair out of his face."Dad"?

Bekah went over to the wolf, checking its pulse. It was dead. Bekah sighed as she walked over to Reid and Stacy. Bekah looked down at Reid, eyeing his blood, but voted against it. "Here.." She bent down beside him, sucked water from a flower holding the water in her hands for a moment and dumped it on his face, waking him...

Reid slowly opened his eyes, he groaned in pain as he felt his brocken arm throb and his now ripped leg sting. He was happy to see Stayc however, who smiled and helped him up. "You always get hurt...". SHe laughed, though she knew why, because he was human.

Bekah stood, taking a few steps back and smiled. "Why dont we go back to the lighthouse and get cleaned up..?" she asked, still eyeing his bloody arm.

Stacy was going that way anyway, nearly dragging him almost. SHe nodded, to concerntrated on Reid to give a proper answer. SHe also smelt the blood, however her love for him over powered any erges.

Bekah nodded and vanished into thin air, leaving them alone.

*Back at the Lighthouse*

Bekah breathed in clean air as she settled back down on the lighthouse roof. She was proud of herself for not killing that man, but oh, how she wanted to..

Ascriot noticed Bekah come in and quickly grilled her for information. She went out in a search for Reid and Stacy.

Bekah sighed and went to check on Matt.

Matt dozed on the coutch since the day Bekah found him that one day almost 4 mounths ago. Apperently someone, or something really got to him. Matt snored and rolled over onto his side as Bekah entered the room...

Bekah sighed as she watched Matt sleep. She never knew someone could sleep for so long...

Reid and Stacy came in a few seconds later, Reid limping and hugging his broken arm to his chest, his biten leg bleeding slightly. He did however smile as Ascriot before passing out.

Ascriot caught him nad laid him on the couch.

The the smell of blood, Matt woke up "Food. " he growled as he sat up, stairing at the the passed out man..
