"Girls I have your cookies ready. Your favorite, strawberry cheesecake." Mom yelled up the ladder into the tree house.

"Just put them on the tray mama and I'll pull them up," I yelled back.

"Thank you Mrs. Starvos," Nin yelled down.

"Thanks, mom." I groaned.

Once the cookies and milk were loaded I twisted the large handle lifting the box I had built years ago to bring stuff up to the tree house. My tree house is my sanctuary. It's the only place I have any privacy and the view is amazing. I can see the dragon king's castle where Brecclan Drago the dragon prince lives. I had, had a crush on Brecclan since the first time I had seen him in Fairy Tales magazine.

I picked up the cookies and milk and set them on the table. I watched as Nin flipped through the magazines laying out across the mattress. Nin is my best friend. My only friend. Our parents are best friends and we have known each other our whole lives.

My mom used to be a dark fae so once she decided to give up her evil magic, Nin's mom was the only white Fae willing to give her a chance and be her friend.

Sometimes adults were as bad as kids when it came to gossiping and bullying. Even after mom renounced her evil power and her gifts were siphoned and replaced with white magic, everyone said she was a spy for the dark.

"Look Bre, Brecclan was seen at Sizzle last night with Princess Taneisha." Nin pointed to the page of the Magazine laid out in front of her.

"Figures! He would take out the White Fae Princess. I mean look at her. Long blonde hair, big breast, curves to die for, and look at those legs. They go on for ages. I am nothing compared to her Nin." I groaned, lying back against the stack of pillows behind me.

"Aubrette Shayleigh Starvos! How dare you speak about yourself that way!" Nin scolded me.

"It's true Nin. He wouldn't ever look my way." I whined.

I had always had low self-esteem. My bright curly red hair and freckles that scattered across my nose and cheeks made me look like a raggedy ann. My flat chest and short legs made me look 12. Even my best friend put me to shame.

Nin was gorgeous and had hit puberty early so she had the body of a 20-year-old woman. Her jet black hair had a blue tint to it when the sun hit it right. Her bright purple eyes were shadowed by thick long lashes. She had large breasts and long legs. She even had a 4 pack starting to show on her stomach since we started training this year. Nin laid back beside me and looked up at me.

"Bre. You are one of the most naturally beautiful women I know."

"I wish you could see yourself through my eyes. And who cares about Brecclan Drago? He is an evil playboy who likes plastic barbie types. I bet you have a fated mate out there somewhere who will drool over how beautiful you are." she whispered. I smiled at my best friend. She was truly amazing.

"Maybe I'll get Luca and you Nikolai?" I teased her and we both laughed.

Nin was terrified of Nikolai Vanwarren. He is a demonic dark fae. The evilest fae's that exist. But Goddess was he sexy?

"No! You get Nikolai and I'll take Luca. I like the strong silent type." she batted her lashes at me and we busted out laughing.

Luca was a vampiric far but was rarely heard from in the public eye like his best friends were. He appeared in the backgrounds of their pictures but he was rarely spoken about.

"Regardless of who we're mated to, we'll always have each other," I told Nin.

"Forever." Nin smiled at me.

***********************

Some of my favorite memories involve Nin. She was a huge part of my life and I missed her desperately.

I had stayed at my house for over a week now without incident. My birthday was quickly approaching and I was more nervous than I had ever been.

Would I receive a mating mark?

Would I receive an elemental gift?

Elemental gifts were only given to the strongest of the Fae.

For example, my mom had gifts that allowed her to see auras and control fire and my father could control water. I was pretty sure with parents who had elemental gifts I would receive one too.

I wondered why my magic had been given to me at birth when my gifts weren't. The entire process was confusing to me. Sometimes I felt like an experiment The Goddess was conducting.

I had done okay with food up until now, but I had gone 3 Days only surviving on rice and I could feel myself growing weaker. If I should need to use my magic and I was weak I would drain it fast so I had to make sure I stayed rested and healthy. I had no choice. I would have to venture into the city tonight.

I quickly sprayed myself with decenter which would keep Lycans and Vampires from sniffing me out. I then dressed in black thermal, black skinny jeans, black combat boots, and a black jean jacket zipped up. I pulled my hair into a ponytail and placed a beanie over my head.

I was taking extra precautions to hide that I was a girl. I made sure my grab bag was placed in the backyard in case I was followed home and needed to make a quick escape. I threw my crossbow over my shoulder and place my blade in the sheath at my hip. I looked in the mirror surveying myself. This would have to do. My high cheekbones, long lashes, and full lips were hard to hide. Not to mention my breast that had decided to make their appearance the last year.

I locked up the house and made my way to the closest convenience store.

The city was a couple of miles from my house. I planned to hit the closest convenience store. It was a small store we used to visit regularly that had a small number of groceries and everyday items. As soon as I stepped out of the house I felt as if I was being watched.

I had stooped down and waited and couldn't see or hear anything so I continued on my journey. I stuck to the shadows and the tree line until I reach the city limits. I then stayed in the alleyways and hid in the darkness.

The Dark Fae army wasn't out as much as they had been but I still spotted the cloaked figures occasionally.

I finally made it to the store after an hour of creeping my way there. I went in the backway that was meant for employees. I quickly searched the shelves shoving items in my bag. I was thinking of the Goddess when I ran across instant coffee and powdered french vanilla creamer. It had been so long since I had coffee. It would be a nice treat for my birthday. I grabbed batteries and some Tylenol along with deodorant.

I made my way over to the herb aisle and grabbed a bottle of wolves bane. I had been using it to stop myself from shedding. Wolves' bane mixed with dragon's blood had been successful so far. My mother had begun giving it to me when the war had started.

Most fae started shedding at 17 in preparation for their mate to ensure a pregnancy during the first mating. You always shed once before your 18th birthday but I had been keeping mine at bay because it would attract any unmated males regardless of the species in a mile radius.

I also grabbed baby wipes and bottles of water and Gatorade from the cooler. I was lucky the shelves still contained a few food items. There was great meat, canned ham, tuna, chili, ramen noodles, bread, and peanut butter.

I packed it all away in my bag and was getting ready to head back out the back door when I have seen a large black figure standing in the doorway. Had they been watching me? Were they aware that I was in the store? I hunkered down and worked my way between the shelves.

I could hear their footsteps crunching against the glass on the floor. It was drawing closer and closer. I didn't know what to do at this point other than to fight. I waited until they were a couple of feet away from me and stood up with my crossbow c****d and pointed at their chest.

"Whoa. Look at you. All alone in a city full of blood-crazed creatures with a crossbow for protection." The man chuckled.

"Don't come any closer," I warned him.

"You think I'm scared of you little Fae!" He chuckled, his voice deep and strong. I could smell his aura. He was a Lycan.

Lycans were stronger and faster than werewolves. Their beast was more humanlike and walked on two legs instead of four. A werewolf wouldn't stand a chance against a Lycans and neither did I.

"I can smell your fear little one." He growled as he lift his nose in the air sniffing. His eyes glowed red which meant his beast was close. He could shift at any moment.

"You smell so good little Fae.." he whispered stepping closer to me.

I held my chin out and kept my arrow pointed at his chest. It might not kill him but it would injure him enough for me to get away.

"Just leave me be. " I yelled at him.

"Shh shh shh. We don't want to alert anyone else of your presence now do we? " He shushed me.

The bell signaling the front door had been opened sounded and I turned my head giving the Lucan enough time to snatch the crossbow and detain me.

"What's that smell Beta? You got a female in there with you?" An eerie voice asked from the door as he sniffed the air. He was smaller than the Lycan that now had m around the neck.

"It's none of your business Rodic now get out." The man growled releasing his aura making even me whine. The man at the door gasped and quickly left.

"Yes, Beta!" He groaned.

Once the man was gone the Lycan drug me to the back of the store into the storage room. I struggled and fought him but it was no use. I was no match for him. He pushed me up against the wall and ran his hand down my body while his other held me around my throat.

"Please," I begged a tear slipping down my cheek.

"Don't cry little Fae I only want to make you feel good." The Lycan smiled at me. I could see him now that he was inches from my face.

He was huge. His shoulders and biceps look like rolling mountains. He had a bald head and a close-shaven beard. I noticed a bite mark on his shoulder near his neck. He was mated!

"Wouldn't your mate smell me on you?" I asked him trying anything I could think of to get him to stop.

Before I knew it he slammed my head against the wall and pain burst begin my eyes and I see sparkles.

"Don't you dare speak of my mate? You know nothing!" He roared.

He lifted my shirt and ripped my pants button tearing them open.

"Please don't!" I begged.

He didn't listen only tightened his hold around my throat. He slid his hand down my panties and his large fingers slipped between my folds. My legs were shaking so much that his grip on my throat was the only thing that kept me upright. I crossed my legs to stop his fingers.

" No please," I begged.

He spread my legs with his knee and his fingers went to my entrance. I swallowed the bile rising in my throat.

He pushed his large finger inside me and I gasped at the intrusion. It hurt badly. He moved his finger in and out of me coating his finger with my juices. I heaved as the contents of my stomach threatened to come up. He groaned loudly. He finally pulled his hand from my pants and looked me in the eye as he put his finger in his mouth tasting my juices. I looked away as shame flooded me. He began jerking his belt off and unbuttoning his pants and I was struck with a fear I never knew existed. If I didn't get away from him he was going to rape me.

Panic took over and my body began to pulsate. I could feel my magic flowing through my veins like it had replaced my blood. My hands burned like fire and I brought them up grabbing his head. He began to scream and I c****d my head enjoying his torture.

"Shush now. We don't want anyone to hear you." I mocked him. I used my magic and sealed his mouth closed.

"Cat got your tongue." I teased as I felt dark magic rising inside me.

I threw him back and my body flew on top of him like something from the matrix.

I put my hands on his large chest as I straddled his stomach.

"You'll never touch another woman and take her without her permission," I growled through gritted teeth.

His muffled voice pleaded with me. I reach back and grabbed his c**k and I felt my hand heating once more. His cries turned to muffled screams as I cauterized the veins in his c**k making him impotent. I stood up and kicked him hard in the side of his head knocking him out. I looked down at my jeans and the button was missing. I kicked him again.

"That's for ruining my jeans you f*****g predator." I roared.

I went back to the front and picked up my bag and left through the back entrance.

Once I made it home I was finally able to relax.

Reflecting on my actions what I had terrified me. It was as if I enjoyed his pain. I knew it was the dark side of me threatening to take over. I knew I would have to learn to control it before it enveloped me.

As of right now, I had the perfect balance of magic inside of me. Good and bad.

One wrong move and I could become one of the very faces I despised.
