A blood curdling scream escapes my lips as the creatures hold on me begins to lift me up through the hole. At this point I have dropped my camera and am clawing at the creatures hand to let me go, I can see Chelsea and Minxie crying but unable to move to help me.

"Guys! HELP ME!!PLEASE!!!" I cry and scream. But no one responded to my plea, all just stand further away and scream as they look at the sight.

'Am I really going to die like this?' I thought. Never had I expected this to happen during my senior year, I just wanted to go home, not New York City- for once- but home with Kimball, my friends, and my dad.

Dad.

With a new found fire deep inside me I kicked and flailed and scratched deeper at the creature; I needed to continue fighting for my dad, to go home. I wasn't going to die or 'mate' with this thing.... Not in a million years as I look to Kimball and Izzy they both knew without hesitation what to do, they were the only ones with more bravery than anyone else on the bus to come to my aid, my knights in shining armor, my hearts of light. Both grab onto my outstretched hands and pull and pull with all their might and yet so did the creature; he was relentless and refused to release his hold on me.

During the tug of war for my life I managed to slip one arm out of my jacket to turn around and bite into the creatures hand, only hard enough to leave teeth marks but not enough to break the skin. As I did outside I could hear him growl along with another sound...

A sound similar to purring.

As soon as I let go I slip my other arm out of the jacket and fall on Kimball and Izzy, my entire body under a terrible shaking spell. Not one moment later Kimball and Izzy are there to try and stop my trembling- key word try- but it doesn't help. only makes it worse.

I was having a code five panic attack.

Me and dad had a code for each stage of panic attacks i had code one being small and easy to fix, but, code five is the worst where I'm hyperventilating and on the brink to passing out.

I haven't had a code five since mom died.

I'm shaking and trying to take deep breaths as I go to look up at the creature; I thought he'd taken flight once more, but, to my surprise, he was still there staring at the sight. My breath catches as I hear him speak for the first time tonight using Kevin's voice, that sends me to the breaking point, saying "Be back mate, be mine"

And with that he took off with my jacket in his clutches.

^^^Creepers POV^^^

*Warning some slight mature content, won't go into too much detail... promise :)*

I almost had her.

She was within my reach. And she had to go and bite me; oh she's going to get whats coming to her before my long awaiting sleep.

Even though she escaped from me I wasn't mad in the slightest, not mad at my mate in any way. She gave me two things that belonged to her, her article of clothing that was soaked in her scent and her mark on my hand. I look down at my hand and smirk, her mark wasn't deep enough to break my skin but enough to put a dent. I brought my marked hand to my lips and taste it, what's left of her saliva on my palm; sweet and savoring.

A taste that I hum in satisfaction.

If her saliva tasted this good, I wonder what her sweat tasted like; freshly dripped from her temple as we make love and conceive our pups, her soft tender skin trembling under me as I enjoy her each and every inch along her body. The claw marks along my hand I can see being done on my back as I take her, over and over again. Just the thought of having her in my arms leaves me trembling and hungry with desire for her. And her intoxicating scent I inhale deeply each time, even during my flight I dug my nose into her clothing.

I will have her at whatever the cost tonight. I will feed her my fare share in my meal, and i know just whom to feed her tonight.

These actions all show signs of her accepting me, and tonight i shall do the same for her.

"Don't worry mate, we won't be apart for long."

^^^Natalie's POV^^^

My panic attack continues long after the creature is gone. I can't stand let alone speak, I'm digging my fingernails into my arms as I am gasping for air. I feel as though the walls are closing in on me and the air is slowly running out, tears break from my eyes as the attack continues. All voices around me are mumbles and uninterpreted noise that I can't understand.

*A/N = FYI this does happen in most cases during panic attacks, I have had this happen on occasion and it's hard to come back down from it.*

Then I feel something soft against my lips and arms around my body against another close. As soon as that happens I begin to relax my shaking body and my breathing begins to even out, I open my eyes to see Izzy locking lips with me; I thought it was Kimball at first, but seeing Izzy kissing me gives me shock but, also, relief. His arm supports my back as his other hand cups the back of my head, deepening the kiss.

Without thinking I close my eyes and kiss back, my hand on his cheek. As he pulls away from me he looks into my eyes to make sure I was back to normal, which I was gladly.

"Sorry, but I heard that kissing can stop panic attacks within minutes," Izzy said in a hush whisper. I didn't realize that we were on the floor of the bus behind a set of seats, what I also didn't realize was that Kimball was supporting me from behind arms around my middle the entire time. I blush a deep crimson when realizing the situation I'm in, "you sure that wasn't an excuse for you to just kiss her?" Kimball whispers as I am trying to wiggle away from the man sandwich I'm in; I pinch Kimball's hand to get him to let go but all that does is chuckle and bring his mouth to the shell of my ear, "Keep doing that baby and I won't be able to stop myself," he whispers huskily as his breath sends shivers down my spine. Stop himself from doing what?!

I turn to look him in the eye and say something, but, am interrupted by him kissing me and tightening his grip on my tummy. I whimper as I feel his tongue graze my lower lip, begging to be in my mouth.

I'm so shocked by this, I just had my first and second kiss taken and it was by two different guys... Man dad was going to KILL ME!!

Well the boys too...

Feeling something sucking on my neck I gasp suddenly, feeling Kimball's tongue in my mouth slithering along every inch of my mouth. Izzy was kissing, biting, and sucking on my neck as his arms slither to my lower back and his fingers grazing my skin.

We all pull away from each other, me being more winded than the boys. I look around and take in my surrounding, realizing that we had an audience. I blushed a deep red now and untangle myself from the boys and make my way towards another seat which is immediately taken my Chelsea and Minxie, both nothing but giggles and smiles the entire time. Kimball and Izzy make it to the empty seat behind me and both kiss my heated cheeks. All the while eyes are still on us.

I just want to crawl into a hole and die of embarrassment at this point.

Before both leave I hear three words from both of them that makes my breathing catch in my throat and my heart skip a beat.

"I love you"
