Remember a few months ago when I had a poll up on my profile to help with choosing a pairing for a future fic? This is what that poll was for. I feel that with Halloween coming up soon, it'd be fun to work with writing a fic that has a few spooky elements in it (wolf-people/werewolves, demons, and more of that spooky goodness). So, I hope all you good readers enjoy this. =)

Disclaimer: I own none of the Superstars, Divas, and other wrestlers, past and present, used in this fic. They are the property of themselves, the WWE, TNA, ROH, and OMEGA. All I own are the ideas going into the fic and my OC, Alex Hardy. Disclaimer out of the way, I hope you guys enjoy. =)

'Just keep running,' the woman thought, her breath burning in her lungs. 'Just keep running and don't look back.'

Every night it seemed like the same thing happened to her: She'd just be calmly taking a walk through the forest, when suddenly, the atmosphere of the wooded area would change in the blink of an eye. The normally calm and peaceful woodland area would instantly be transformed into a world that haunted her nightmares. The trees seemed to close in on her as snarls and growls could be heard all around her. Not wanting to find out the source of any these noises, the woman just ran because she felt that that was all that could protect her from being found and eaten by whatever lurked and hid in the trees. Her efforts would always be in vain, however, as she would end up being caught by one of the monsters and dragged towards its gaping mouth. Screaming as she tried in vain to grab hold of something possibly rooted into the forest floor, the woman then finally yelled "Somebody! Anybody! Please help!"

...

"Help!" Kaitlyn Bonin yelled as she shot out of her bed, a thin sweat coating her forehead. Trying to catch her breath, Kaitlyn looked around the bedroom in her apartment in a bid to try to bring herself back to reality. Holding her head in her hands, Kaitlyn thought 'Relax, Bonin. It was all just a dream. Just a hellish, nightmarish dream that you've been dealing with for the past few years.' Groaning in frustration that it seemed like her inner reassurance talk wasn't working, Kaitlyn decided to get out of bed and go about getting ready for her day. As she went to get her clothes, Kaitlyn thought 'Please just let me get a few minutes to myself before things get crazy.' After showering, brushing her teeth, getting dressed and finishing the rest of her morning routine, Kaitlyn grabbed her wallet, phone, and keys before leaving her apartment and locking the door behind her. Everything seemed normal as she headed downstairs; however, that all changed once she left the building and stood on the sidewalk.

As was the case, just as it seemed every day, Kaitlyn soon found herself bombarded with the unwanted annoyance of seeing her usual morning walking companions. For as long as Kaitlyn could remember, she could always see things that no one else could. These things tended to run the gambit of being either tiny creatures, no bigger than a small butterfly, or, in rare cases, creatures the size of small dogs. She didn't know why she could see these things; she just knew that she could and couldn't bring herself to tell anyone close to her about what it is that she saw, not even her parents. Sometimes Kaitlyn's second sight made the two-toned woman feel alone; just the fact that she had no one to have a stable enough talk with gave Kaitlyn the impression that some day, she'd end up going crazy and ending up in the mental ward of a hospital.

'Because that's what I want my mom and dad to know,' Kaitlyn thought, as she continued her walk to her job and did her best to ignore the chittering of the creatures that kept their orbit around her. 'That their only child ended up in a damn funny farm for talking about seeing stuff like fairies and two-tailed cats.' Shaking her inner frustrations away, Kaitlyn soon found herself coming up on the coffee shop where she worked. One of the best things that Kaitlyn felt came with working at a coffee shop in New Orleans was that they always had a steady stream of business because of the people there always being in need of a rush to stay alert and on the go; the steady flow of customers also helped take her mind off of the creatures that seemed to tail her every day. 'Plus it doesn't hurt that we're at our busiest during Mardi Gras. Which is starting in a couple days,' Kaitlyn thought with a smile working its way across her face. Heading inside of the coffee house, Kaitlyn thought 'Today's going to be a good day. Even if I have to deal with the creatures, I won't let them distract me from working. Nothing can go wrong today. I can feel it.' But even as these thoughts cascaded around her head, Kaitlyn just knew that they were lies. Just like her more positive thoughts always turned out to be.

"Looks like everything's in tip-top shape for you, Seth," the younger brunette said, stepping away from the older two-toned man as she wrote down notes on the two-toned man's current condition. "Nothing's broken, there are no traces of poison in your system, and any scratches you had have healed over already."

"That's a relief to hear," Seth Rollins said as he pulled his black muscle shirt back on. "I swear if it wasn't Roman demanding I come get checked out, then it was Trish threatening to use a dog whistle on me until I caved and came here. Which is kind of pointless in her case since she's one of the docs here too."

"They just want to make sure that you're OK," the brunette said, smiling softly up at the older man. "After all, you're one of the fastest guys here. The guys lose you, they're down a speedster."

Smiling at the girl's reassuring words, Seth said "I guess you're right, Alex. Just feels like a pain to have to come in here when there's nothing wrong with me."

"It's like I said, Seth," Alex Hardy said, putting her notebook and pencil down on one of the counters in the room. "Everyone just wants to make sure that everyone's in top health. As crazy as stuff is for us, it's no wonder why personal health is a top priority."

Understanding what Alex was telling him, Seth said "I know, I know. Especially you, the other girls, and the older adults. Me and the other guys just want to make sure you all are protected and safe from any harm."

"And we'll always thank you guys for that," Alex said, smiling up at Seth. "We owe you our lives and no amount of thanks could ever express our gratitude for you guys keeping us safe."

"Well, I know one way you could make it up to me," Seth said.

"If you're implying what I think you're implying, then you won't even have to worry about Trish getting the dog whistle on you because either Matt or Jeff'll beat her to it," Alex said.

"No! Of course not! Besides, you're too much of a little sister to me to even make me see you that way," Seth said, a slight pang of nervous fear striking him at the thought of what Alex's older brothers would do to him. "I was thinking maybe you could make me some of those double chocolate cookies of yours."

Hearing this request coming from Seth, Alex laughed a little before saying "I'll see what I can do. You'll have to make sure you keep them secret from Dean so that he doesn't try to eat them while you're not looking. The last thing we need is to replace more furniture just because you and Dean got in a deathmatch fight over some cookies."

"I'll never get what his deal with stealing food from me is anyways," Seth said as he and Alex left the room they were in and headed for the stairs.

"I think it's his way of really showing how much of a brotherly bond there is between you, him, and Ro," Alex said. "That's how Matt and Jeff are with Cody, but I think it's mostly in the case that they treat him like the younger brother he is to a lot of the others."

"Brotherly bond, huh," Seth said, thinking over Alex's words as the two got to the bottom of the staircase.

"I heard talk of cookies," a sandy haired blonde said. "You are going to share with your favorite brother, aren't you, Seth?"

"Only if you'll actually eat them when I give them to you and not try to be a damn ninja and steal them when I'm not around," Seth said, punching the sandy blonde on the shoulder. "You know I hate that shit, Dean."

"There's no need to be so damn selfish though, baby bro," Dean said. "Besides, don't you know that sharing is caring?"

"Yeah, sharing is caring, Dean. Not Let's-see-how-much-of-Seth's-food-I-can-steal-when-he's-not-around is caring," Seth said.

"Enough!" the usually stoic older Samoan said, stopping Dean and Seth's arguing. "The sun's setting. We have to go on night watch soon."

"Remind me how it is that we got saddled with night watch," Dean groaned. "Seems to me like we got a raw fucking deal when shifts were handed out."

"It's because you three work best at night," Alex explained. "After all, you three are the most synchronized among you guys, so having a tight unit on night watch only makes sense."

"Well, shucks, Alex," Dean said, jokingly to the younger brunette. "Way to make me feel like a superhero."

"That's because you are a superhero, Dean," Alex said, smiling at the three men in front of her. "All of you guys are. After all, you guys are what stands between us and the beasts. The way I see things, New Orleans and the world will forever be indebted to you all and others like you guys."

Hearing Alex say this, Seth swallowed back a lump in his throat and said "Anything to protect the ones we care about."

Instead of showing how he felt, the Samoan headed out the front doors and said "Let's go, guys. We've got a long night ahead of us."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Coming, Roman," Dean said, shoving his hands in his jeans pockets and following the Samoan.

"See you tomorrow, Alex," Seth said, before turning on his heel and following his brothers.

Calling after the three men as they headed for the woods surrounding their house, Alex headed out on the porch and said "Be careful, you guys! Be safe!" before turning around and going back inside.

Hearing Alex shouting after them, Roman, silently laughing and shaking his head, said "It's people like Alex that really let us know we're doing the right thing."

"Hey, if no one protects Alex, the others back home, and other humans, then we may as well just lay on our backs, and let the demons win," Dean said. His normally blue irises glowing yellow at the thought of the creatures they fought every night, Dean then growled "And I'll be damned if I let that happen."

"That goes for all of us," Roman said. "It'll be a cold day in hell before we let demons hurt the ones we care about."

Hearing all of the sentimental talk between Dean and Roman, Seth had gotten a bit choked up until he heard a rustling in the trees near them. His head turning in the direction of the noise, Seth said "Guys, we're going to have to cut the Dr. Phil talks short. First kill of the night's less than a few feet away."

Hearing what it was that Seth had heard, Dean donned a predatory smile and said "Aw, yeah! Time to kill!"

Wasting no time with announcing his presence, Roman shifted from his normal human form into a large wolf with black fur and glowing yellow eyes. Taking off in the direction of the noise, Roman left his brothers behind.

"No fair, Rome! Save some for me and Seth!" Dean shouted before shifting from his human form into a large wolf with sandy blonde fur and taking off after Roman.

The last of the three to shift, Seth shifted into a large, somewhat scrawny wolf with brown fur and a patch of it on his face being blonde and took off after his brothers. 'We were gifted like this for a reason. And it's to protect people. To save people. And to kill the demon scourge that dares hurt those that we love and hold dear to us,' Seth thought as he ran after his brothers. 'Tonight, we do just that.'

Funny thing is that I actually had to make a hell of a lot of changes to this before I felt it was good enough to post. And I feel this is a good first chapter. Intro'ed the characters...partial check, intro'ed their world...partial check, and intro'ed a lot of the main focus...partial check. ^^ *coughs* Anyways, so far looks like we've been introduced to Kaitlyn and what she has to deal with every day (not exactly fun dealing with seeing creatures and stuff no one else can see..and the nightmares, *shudders*, not fun either), but at least she has her work to help distract her some. On the supernatural side, we've been introduced to Seth, Dean, and Roman, three wolf-men who live in a secluded area with others like them. Also, we've been introduced to at least one of the humans that live with them in Alex Hardy, who appears to be a combination little sister to the guys and doctor. And while Seth and Alex were having their talk, we heard mentions of Trish, Matt, and Jeff, who are some of the others that live with them. I'll get to introducing more characters in chapter 2. So until then, R&R to let me know what you guys think of this start. =)
