It was noon and Ruri was about ready to leave her home when the mail man walked up to her and delivered a letter too her. "Sorry miss, I didn't even know this place existed. Your not on our route to it took us a while to find the place. Here ya go." He handed her the letter, she smiled and nodded to him and he left. She opened it, read the contents. Finally after a couple of days, contact was made. She turned back and went into her home, was she suppose to bring anything? It didn't say to so she left her weapons at home and only took her trusted knife. Looks like her walk was going to be longer then she taught, about a days walk to get there by 4pm tomorrow. "Dranger, come." She called out to him and he ran to her side. She loved to walk, it gave her a sense of calm. She walked everywhere she went no matter how far it was. She knew when she would get some place and how to get there. Camping out doors was nothing new to her, something she was use to. As she made way thew town the towns folk would speak with her. They knew what she was, she didn't hide anything from them. It was a small town only about 150 people. So everyone knew everyone. "Headed out Ruri?" One man yelled out. She stopped and smile at him, "Yes, not sure how long I till be gone so Dranger is coming with me." She turned and continued to walk. She had watched the people in this town from the time they were born to their deaths. She was a pillar in this small community. She helped build this town and when the kids go to school her history of when she came here is taught to them. So as they grow they are not shocked that she is still young and is not afraid of her. There has been some trouble in the past of other werewolves trying to push on the land she claimed and take her town from her. But she fought and won all of the battles. Other wolves know to stay away from her town. She walked for about eight hours straight before she started to feel hungry, its not 8:23pm and she was coming up on a diner. In bold letters it read no pets allow, she looked down to Dranger. "You star here, and don't move." As she started to walk up the small stairs she turned to him again, "Don't cause any trouble either." She said in a stern voice and he whimpered and laid down on the ground looking sad. She knew him all to well, and he understood her. She don't know how he is able to understand that she is saying but she figures it has something to do with her being a wolf herself. She walked and took a seat at the bar. The waitrest walked over to her, "Her there cute thing, that can i ge'cha?" She looked at the menu, "can I get your special and a raw deer meat if you have it." She looked her at, "You want the special raw too?" Ruri laughed, "Oh no, the deer meat is for my pet." She looked at her, "Right," She walked off and put her order in. As Ruri looked around and could not shake the smell of death in the air. It was not death of rotting flesh but living death. She looked around and a man was drinking his drink when he looked up at her, pale skin, light blue eyes. "Vampire," she said under her breath. She turned her head and wait for her food. 10mins later her received her food and about ready to walk out when a hand grabbed her shoulder. "Hey, can't you read? No pets allowed." She jerked her should forward and continued to walk towards the door. "Hey bitch, I am talking to you. The name fits you right Wolf bitch." It was then she noticed that he was not the only vampire in there. How did she miss it? There was about three more just like him. Dranger stood up and was looking inside, she shook his head to him. She turned with a smile, "That type of language should not be used in public. Just leave me be, I am leaving." He started to advance on her then she growled a little. Her overwhelming murderous presences washed over him. She was powerful and he knew it. He has only been a vamp for 50 years or so. He took a step back, she smile and it was gone. She turned and left. It was about three in the morning and she had made camp just off the road. She had been curled up with Dranger when he was woken by something moving near her. He looked around and waited to see if it moved again. Her eyes slowly open by his movements, but she laid perfectly still. She was baiting them, she knew it was the vamp from the diner. She knew they were following her, she could smell them. if not for the passing car carrying their scent she might not have noticed. She slowly placed her hand on her knife and waited. As one tried his best to stealth closer to her, she quickly rose to her feet and threw her knife hitting him in his chest. But she didn't aim for his heart. A small scream could be heard as he hit the ground and footsteps running away. She walked over to him and pulled the knife out of his chest. "I let you live, I could have ended you but I am being nice. One so young, you should know your place." She leaned down and took a deep breath, "If I ever smell you again, the sun will be the last thing you see." She backed off him, he stood and ran off. The rest of her night was uneventful after that. The sun rose and she and Dranger ate the left overs and contunued their journey. She made it to the small town of Eureka. It was about 3:00PM, she spotted the church and the diner she went in for some food, fed Dranger and walked down the alley. She would see the man in question who was mention in the letter. Black SUV and all. She walked up to him. [i]"Say my name and I disappear."[/i] Dranger barked, She looked down to him, "Yes, I remember what to say," She looked at him, "Silence."
