A/N: So this is set, two months after series 2 - hope you enjoy...
To be wild or to not be wild:That is the question.
The owl flutter their powerful wings in the luminous moonlight that blinds anyone if you look at the moon. Rhydian, Tom and Shannon walk out of Shannon's house feeling a chill down their backs; all clutching tent equipment and food. All but Shannon - as she clasps the most precious thing of all - their hope for Maddy coming home.
A mile or so later, the three beings set up camp in the less clustered part of the woods as the galling wind roars in fury. Once they set up, eagerly they get in. Although, a two man tent isn't the best when there is three of them...
"Ow, Shan if you move your leg then - arg Tom your arm is in my face!" Grouses Rhydian.
"Well Rhydian if you move your head the other way then I will be able to move mate!" Tom replies.
Shannon rolls her eyes, beginning to get comfy as they boy wrestle over their space. Shannon loudly coughs, making Rhydian and Tom divert their attention to the geek. Shannon places the large piece of worn out crippled paper, covered with scribbles on ingenious notes and hopefully a plan.
"Right, can we get started?" Shannon says with a sharp attitude. Murmurs of yeses echo the tent.
"Good, now we need to get Whitewood out of Stonybridge, correct?"
"Shan how did you tell your parents about coming out in the woods, with only one tent and you know two boys?" Rhydian questions, smirking a bit.
"Well, you know - I mentioned beast watching, and seeing as Mum had to help my other four little brothers and sisters - especially Danny, she said yes!" Rhydian nods grinning, as Tom starts to laugh.
"Good one Rhydian!" Cheers Tom, and they high five awkwardly.
"Right, now can we focus on Maddy please!" Shouts Shannon, failing to stop a smile.
"Yeah sure Shan, unless it's too crowded!" Badgers Tom, making the boys bursts into laughter but the cackles of joy soon die down.
"Good - now we have got that sorted, Whitewood needs to leave some how so I thought we use the dark moon as our advantage." Shannon states, looking pleased.
"Ah right Shan I get it!" Tom exclaims. Rhydian zones out of the conversation smelling a strong stench of wolfblood -wild wolfbloods.
"You do Tom?" Shannon raises her eye brows.
"Nah not at all!" Tom blurts, heaving . Shannon laughs again as Tom pulls some idiotic faces.
"Very funny you idiot!" Shannon exclaims.
"Get out of the tent." Rhydian mutters, his heart racing as more wild wolfbloods come towards them but the humans don't seem to notice.
"Shan, Tom get out of the tent." Says Rhydian, but this time a little louder - feeling the wolf pulse through his veins. Shannon and Tom discontinue laughing and gulp, feeling fear hammer at their head.
"Why Rhydian?" Tom says, his voice trembling.
"BECAUSE! JUST GET OUT OF THE TENT!" Rhydian shouts.
Rapidly they start moving, though all of them struggle to actually get out of the tent. Rhydian curses and black veins craw down his body, using his wolfy powers, her rips the tend at the front, making a bigger hole. Everyone crawls out hurriedly and stand, hot dew trickling down their clammy forehead. Eight wild wolfbloods maliciously circle Rhydian and the humans, all of them laughing bitterly. Rhydian's eyes morph into a blustering yellow, as a tall bulk wolfblood comes out of the shadows and is revealed by the startling moonlight.
"Well, well, well - why isn't it Rhydian Morris and the humans - we have heard a lot about you." The mans booming voice pounds Rhydians head.
"How do you know about us, what do you want? Who are you!" Demands Rhydian.
"What a lot of questions for such a worthless tame heh? Well, I am Aled, a Alpha male. My son Alun caused trouble in my old territory, just like you did Rhydian."
"You mean he went into the human world?" Rhydian splutters.
"Yes he did! My old pack were furious - well half of the pack, they wanted him dead, so we joined Jana's pack - the ten of us. Now we want revenge." Aled states, his lurid eyes glinting in the moonlight.
"Why - we have never met you before, who do you want revenge for?" Tom cries.
"Rhydian's, Alpha -Maddy. She has destroyed my son's future! I heard, from the rest of the pack, about all of you - and to break Maddy's heart is the only way to do so, kill Miss Smith, then I will break sons heart." Aled sneers.
"You can't just kill us!" Screams Shannon.
"Er yes I can, boys. Kill them!" Aled commands.
Quickly the wild wolfbloods transform into their sleek wolves, and so does Rhydian. Rhydian snarls at them, knowing it will be too easy for them to kill two humans and only one wolfblood. But, suddenly another wolfblood leaps out of a slender tall tree, landing perfectly. The wolfblood marches up to Aled, and the Alpha male beckons his men to stop the assault. Everyone changes back into their human form, the adrenaline gushing through their head. Rhydian sniffs the pungent air, only to get a mighty shock. The hooded figure, removes it's shabby hood that Shannon reconises too well.
"Hey! That's my mum, grey old jumper!" Shannon bellows (the one Maddy was wearing in wolfsbane). The figure turns around, to be greeted by astonished faces.
"Maddy." Rhydian whispers. Though Maddy stares at them coldly.
"Aled, don't kill them." Maddy orders, Aled growls slightly. Rhydian grins, his heart fluttering in delight.
"Because they mean nothing to me - what's the point of that? Killing a tame, and tow stupid humans?" Maddy rhetorically questions. Rhydian's heart shatters in two.
"But we are your friends Mads, Rhydian's your Alpha." Shannon argues, betrayal written all over her face. Maddy laughs dryly.
"You were, but you left us. You forgot about us, even Rhydian! Not once did he come back - we are only a few hours away on foot. Nah, you lot are nothing to me now - I hate you all." Maddy spits. Rhydian looks away, hiding the tears.
"So, you wouldn't care if we killed your own pack then Maddy?" Aled asks.
"You can if you want, but I wouldn't because their blood is full of shame and disgust, and as we are wild wolfbloods - we don't kill people, I mean things without a reason. Beside they are out of me life." Maddy responds, shrugging.
Aled roars with fury and rips Maddy's arm (left to be precise), drawing thick, red blood - lots of it. Maddy winces but doesn't retaliate. Rhydian's face twists with hurt and anger, but he doesn't want Maddy in pain...
"Shut up! You are not worthy to be wild, you are just tame as well! My son doesn't deserve you, but he won't listen to me. I won't kill them, but if you set foot on Jana's territory ever again - then you are dead. Also your parents will be fine too - but try and save then or if they try to escape, you can say goodbye to them as well. I will tell my son you don't want him shall I?" Aled threatens.
"Come on everyone, lets get out of here!" Aled shouts, and they all (wild wolfbloods) cheer in glory pushing past Maddy as they bolt it to their territory - Jana's territory. Maddy yelp in pain, as more blood drips down her arm. Rhydian, Shannon and Tom sigh in relief but don't move, uncertain to what to do. Maddy looks at them all and her lips curl into a grin.
"So,did you lot miss me or what?" Maddy chirps, as the tent blows away, down a colossal hill.
