Prologue

I looked deep into those dark amber eyes and they looked almost human, had an air of curiosity about them even. They must mirror my own eyes.

The atmosphere was filled dread, fear and a quiet resolve as if it is as it should be.

Those eyes regarding me curiously also had wariness in them. As if I was strange for just existing. This made look to the other features that surrounded those eyes, a hairy face, a nose almost Wolf like, big pointy ears and...Were those horns?

I, a girl alone in the woods at night should be frightened right? But in that instance I too regarded him as being strange for just existing, I mean he looked like something right out of a fairy tale. Certainly not Prince charming no, look at him and I presume it's a he because he is dressed in trousers 3or4 sizes too small for him and a shirt also too small for his large frame almost completely unbuttoned and some kind of cloak hanging behind him. And that "the world is mine for taking because I am" air about him I chalked up as masculinity. Made me concluded this was a male.

He would definitely be the villain and I the i***t that wondered into an unknown part of a dark forest and got eaten. Did I mention he has fangs? Gleaming and looking very sharp in the moon light, those teeth that were definitely made for tearing.

But I still wasn't afraid no, I had questions. Where was he from? What exactly is he? How and why does he exist? My curiosity turned into amazement as I studied him.

"What are you...?" We both said at the same time. Mine a soft whisper, his very deep rumble.
