My new MBAV and it's sort of like a future fic. I'm collaborating with someone, I guess.

Ethan's six foot frame trembled as he bent over a lake. The muscles in his back bulged, and twitched beneath tanned skin. Dribble fell from his mouth, through clenched teeth and he closed his eyes closed as a vein appeared in his forehead. His head snapped back and a surreal howl of pain escaped through his lips, causing nearby birds to take flight. Midnight black hair began to sprout out over his body – the transformation never got easier, even after a century.

The transformation into beast took only a minute, and when the agony ended he approached the river, taking in his reflection with intelligent brown eyes. His frame was now that of a large black wolf, eight feet in stature. His eyes grew darker as the last traces of humanity vanished, fuzzy black ears a top his head twitching with his food's slightest movements.

He looks up towards the full moon in the black horizon as he takes a seat on his hind legs. Its powerful glow emitting is pale light on to his fur, and they bristled and moved as if they had a life of their own.

To his left a smaller wolf appears from the thick dark greenery, this one a light brown color with dark blue eyes. Without even so much as a glance, he lets out a warning growl to the female, telling her he would rather be alone tonight.

It is the anniversary, the anniversary of when he lost his humanity.

He rises on all fours and begins towards the lake, walking into it, until he was swimming. On the other side of the river he walks until he makes it to the tall twisted abandoned pieces of metal, of what was once a city, many years ago. That was before the war, the war between humans and vampires. Humans had lost of course, and Vampire reigned supreme.

A chilly breeze blew towards him, wrapping around him with a scent of his prey. The odor was intoxicating and made his stomach ache and saliva drip from his fangs. Only one creature made his hunger so great, and that was the odor of a…

Vampire, he grunts.

His pace becomes stealthy and slow, and he makes a sharp left as he makes his way through the waste land of what was once a great city. His large clawed paws move noiselessly over the broken cement and old debris. He comes to a stop behind a slab of concrete. He tilts his nose upwards to be certain his nose, wasn't tricking him.

A vampire had indeed wondered into his domain. It enrages him and confuses him simultaneously, vampire's avoided wolves. He leans forward peeking around the edge at the hated creature; he bares his sharp fangs as he quietly stalks towards it.

It was lying on the ground seemingly unconscious; Ethan wasn't fooled and kept his guard up. As he approaches the female – he can smell her, doesn't move and is truly unconscious he realizes. She had been dumped, forsaken, banished. Why else would a female vampire be alone and completely vulnerable in wolf territory.

Her scent is oddly familiar, which makes him stop in his tracks. He can figure out why, but it is. He gently shakes his massive head. He moves forward more out of curiosity then bloodlust.

Closer he notices something is off about her smell, it's vampire but also oddly human. Not in the way of a fledgling either. It's odd and entices him greatly. Her hair is long and black, her skin the color of sand. Her back is to him when he approaches so her.

Instead of devouring her like he would have normally, he uses his paw to turn her face to him. He instantly backs away.

In over a century, Ethan is finally surprised. His black eyes flash to their normal brown as he looks down at his old friend.

Sarah, he growls softly.

He raises his head and looks around briefly, taking his massive nose and putting it to her neck. It's her… he realizes slowly. He can smell her blood, which makes his stomach gurgle but he easily fights the need away. She's hurt… blood is soaking through her black shirt which he can make out a fairly large wound.

He looks up again, taking a look around. Seeing no one, that would find his actions odd. He nuzzles her shirt up and licks the wound on her abdomen until the blood is gone and the wound closes. He's careful to control himself, and not lose himself in her taste.

Then he leans back before going for her neck, he takes hold of the neckline of her shirt and with quick maneuvering and years of practice, get the unconscious female onto his back. He begins his track back home very slowly.

He was going to have a lot of explaining to do.

He's greeted by the brown haired wolf from earlier as soon as he's near his home. The female growls at the vampire on his back, and Ethan instantly growls back. The female's eyes widen with disbelief and confusion.

I'll explain once we reach home, he told her.

But Ethan…, she begins.

I do not wish to talk about this right now, he growls.

The female goes instantly silent and gives him one last look before vanishing back through the greenery, taking the quicker way back to their home.

(1)

Ethan wakes up on the green lawn in front of his estate and is instantly brought a thick wool blanket to cover his stark naked body. He thanks the human female who had brought it to him, and she blushes a deep red before bowing and quickly moving away to hand out blankest to the rest of his pack.

He barely looks back at them to make certain they had all made it back before quickly jogging into his large castle like home. He bounds up his marble long stairwell and down a few halls until he finds his bedroom. He instantly changes into his usual clothing of a black shirt and cargo pants, and boots.

He's hallway down his stairwell when, three members of his pack catch up with him. Taliah, the brown haired wolf, has turned into a tall pretty blond haired blue eyed young woman; she approaches him first while the three males linger back.

"Why have you brought a vampire here?" She isn't angry sounding; only troubled.

"She has close ties with the vampire named Jesse." Ethan answered simply. The name of the vampire lord got a few growls from the tree males in the area.

All very tall one with long black hair and thin features, named Ato, stepped forward. "Are you sure?" He asks. Ethan nods once. "What are you going to do with her?"

Ethan pressed his lips together tightly thinking it over, he couldn't tell his pack that he cared for a vampire because they were friends over a century ago. "Try to get information out of her about his whereabouts."

"Is it really safe to have her here?" Taliah spoke up, "With the new pups being born and so many females being with child. Also all the humans you have under your protection."

Ethan keeps his face unreadable. "I'll handle all of that." He assures. He wouldn't let a vampire hurt members of his pack, even if the vampire is Sarah. He continues on through his house and down the hall, and into the infirmary.

He instantly grins at the human child sitting in a wooden chair, chomping down on an apple. The little girl instantly squeals and jumps from the chair and into his arms.

"How are you today, Bella?" He greets his best friend's great, great, great grandchild. "Have you been behaving?"

The child grins and nods her bright red head, and gives him a sloppy kiss on the cheek. "I'm fine, except," the little girl frowns. "Mama won't let me in the infirmary today." She childishly pouts and points a tiny finger at the closed door.

"Oh," Ethan murmurs softly and nods in understanding. He then lifts his nose into the air and takes a deep sniff, "I smell cookies…"

"Really?" The little girl claps her chubby baby hands. She then sniffs the air with her small button nose. "Are you lying?" she asks uncertainly.

"Nope." He answered pointing to his nose. "Ms. Lomar just took them out of the oven."

The child instantly wiggles from his grasp. "Alright, I'll see you later." The child instantly leaves skipping down the hallway. Ethan watches her go before turning to the other door in the room and walking inside.

Benny's great, great, grandchild Eliza looks just like a girl version of Benny in Ethan's honest opinion. She looks tired and scared as she moves about the well lite infirmary, and he instantly feels bad about giving her a vampire to work on. The girl's mother had been killed by the creatures, when she was a child.

To his left is Sarah, tied up with restraining rope and cloves of garlic hanging over her head. She looks fine, and he wonders why she is still asleep.

"I put a spell on her." The young woman explained smiling at him softly. "She won't wake up until I take it off."

Ethan nods in understanding. "She's alright, then?" He asks softly. He trusts the children of his best friend more then he trusts his own pack.

Eliza frowns, but nods. "Uncle…" The girl he's raised since her birth began hesitantly. "Why is she here?"

Ethan rubs his chin in thought. "I… she was a friend back when I was human." He tells her truthfully.

"Do you think she's a friend now?" She asks lightly.

He reads her tone very well. She's right; a vampire is to never be trusted, no matter what. They are the enemies of both mankind and wolf beast.

"I have no idea." He walks over to the unconscious Sarah. "You can wake her now. You should also leave; it's likely she will be volatile when she wakes."

"Yes Uncle," the young woman gives him an unreadable look before beginning her chanting. She lefts seconds later.

Ethan watched the eyes behind Sarah's eyelids move, and her fingers flex. In a blink of an eye the vampire was up, breaking free of the restrain ropes and lunging at him, in blind instinct. Her body slammed into his, sending them both backwards as she tries to claw at him.

Ethan's stronger and had been expecting the attack; he instantly flips her over slamming her into the ground. A warning growl ripples through his chest as she thrashes and fights against his hold. She's weaker the most vampire's he's fought, and he thinks it has something to do with how weird her scent is.

He refuses to let up until she calms down and submits, and eventually that happens. She's hissing at him her eyes a glowing copper. Eventually, aggression fads out and the hissing turns into pants for air her eyes lock with his.

The look of familiarity comes over her, and her mouth falls open. "Ethan…"

She remembers him. The realization makes his insides feel odd and fuzzy.
