Savannah hadn’t spoke to anyone within the next few days that she stayed with the werewolves. Her mind was far to concerned with her mother’s letter. She couldn’t believe that her mother’s car crash was not accidental, but on purpose. Then again, how could anyone deal with something like this? Maybe she was being stronger than the average human at least, she had to believe she was dealing with this well.

In just three weeks Savannah would be turning eighteen. This thought was unsettling, and her breathing became raspy as she thought of becoming immortal. “Why me?” She thought to herself. Why her? Why did she have to be born this way?

“Because, your life was chosen for you, and it just so happens your mother chose it” Ben’s voice made Savannah jump, nearly falling off the bed she sat on, she decided to stand and face him. “She didn’t want this for me, she even said it in the letter” Ben rolled his eyes. “She still chose it, and this is what you’re left with, anyways it’s been three days why haven’t you come around any of us?” 

Savannah frowned. “I just.. Needed some time.” Ben nodded his head in understanding as Savannah watched him closely.  “I mean it’s not every day you find out your mothers death was on purpose and that you were born with immortal blood that will activate when you are eighteen, I mean I will never age after eighteen…” Ben put a hand on Savannah’s shoulder. “I can’t imagine how that feels, but I was born a werewolf, that isn’t easy either so I kind of understand where you’re coming from.. We are all here for you Savannah”

Savannah couldn’t help but smile. “Thank you, Ben.” 

Grinning, Ben decided now was the time to let Savannah know what he had come up to her for. “My mother would like to see you again” Nodding, she followed Ben down the stairs into the familiar room she had met his mother the first time.

“Hi Savannah, How are you holding up?” Karin asked politely stepping closer wrapping an arm around her best friends daughter. “You look so much like your mother.. It’s crazy” Savannah couldn’t help but smile at the compliment, she knew her mother was beautiful and an amazing strong women. She wanted to be like her so much.

“Look Savannah the vampires have been looking for you like crazy, they aren’t going to lay off, I have sent several of my wolves on patrol, but the vampires have been sniffing them out..”

“Yeah, and?” Savannah responded not quite sure what to expect. “Well I want to change my plan.. I mean I still want to give you training, but I don’t have time right now.. You see I want to send you back to them”

Savannah’s eyes widened. “You’re supposed to protect me, you promised my parents, what the hell do you mean you’re sending me back?!” Ben was just as angry as Savannah. “Yeah mother, they might start the ritual, they could drain her, her birthday is in three weeks..”

“Calm down every one. I’m not saying she is going to stay, I want her to stay for a week or two. Will we come back for you before your birthday, I promise you. It is in my best interest that you stay safe. I promised your mother I would protect and I intend on keeping that promise”

“So what are you planning then, I mean it’s horrible at that place… I’m afraid they might hurt me.. Please I really don’t want to go back..”

Karin sighed. “Savannah, I promise it won’t be long. You can tell them everything you know. My plan is to ambush them the night before your birthday.. I need my wolves to train and to gain their strength.. Ben will head to the woods every night, you will meet him at a certain time, I want you to spy.. On the vampires.. I need to know their intentions and tactics..”

“So you’re using me as bait?” Savannah asked sarcastically. 

Karin frowned. “Kind of, I mean I promised not to let anything serious happen to you. I need to have my pack ready to kill those blood sucking leeches.. and if you know what their weakness or intentions are, it could help us tremendously..”
