The light that peered through was fading, | which meant it was becoming dusk i quickly. I knew once night fell completely, I'd be in even more danger.
That’s when the creatures of the night start lurking around because they can blend with the shadows. Like evil rogues, dark witches, vampires, and other rogue shifters.
My heart was pounding at the very thought; it wouldn’t be long before they could smell me and come looking for me.

If I could just figure out where | am, I might be able to find my way out of here, As I gathered my senses, the strong smell of Hay and mildew consumed my nose, making me want to gag. But then I heard something that made me freeze entirely.
It sounded like footsteps coming from outside; I could also hear the rustling of trees from the wind, but these footsteps fell in line with one another, so I knew

“Trust no one... even if you think they can be trusted, when it comes to your life...
think survival.” At the time, it didn’t make sense as to why he was giving me this lesson, but as I lay in this barn, caged in and weak, I realized that there was nobody around to help me in this situation besides myself.
Whoever was approaching this barn was not a friend and I needed to be careful.
The footsteps grew closer and soon, I was starting to hear the murmuring sounds of voices. It sounded like a guy and a girl and once they neared the barn doors, the scent of rogues invaded my nose.

| The doors of the barn swung open; as predicted, Xander didn’t even bother locking them. I saw the figure of a guy walking into the barn. He was shirtless with a pair of ripped jeans and he was barefoot. His hair was on the longer side, resting just above his shoulders and it looked wet from rain. I hadn't even realized it was raining... or maybe it was sweat? His back was turned from me so I couldn’t get a good look at his face, but I saw deep and gnarly scratches on his back, making me wince. I'm sure that must have hurt; it's strange how he hadn’t healed from that, but maybe it had just happened.

Unlike the guy, I was able to get a look at her face and I was shocked to see that her eyes were tinted red, and she looked like a mix of pissed and worried.
She looked around the barn for a moment with a look of disgust.
“Are you sure nobody is here? It smells like shit,” she muttered, staring up at the man.
He looked around as well, and that was when I also saw his face. I had to stifle a gasp when I realized who he was. I covered my mouth with my hands and kept myself buried in the shadows.
