Hello everyone

Here it is, the long awaited revival of the series. The reason for why I'm rewriting the first one is because I felt like it didn't fit in well with the second one at all. It felt out of place. If you want to accept the original as canon to this series, you can. There's no law or rule in place that says you can't.

I do thank those of you who do take time out of your day to review. I always appreciate the feedback. I'm sorry things are taking a hell of a long time. I'm sure some of the wait is worth it to some of you.

Anyway enough of me rambling. You came to read a story not to listen to me give a speech XD

Read/Review

And I will see you later

Book One: Rebirth

Chapter One:

The mountaintops touched the sky, breaking it apart with their grey tips. The sides of the mountains were covered up by the moving glacier that tore through it. Sprawling hills stood in front of the mountains. On top of one of these hills sat the village of Small Brook. It was a farming community that was 51 villagers strong. A ginger haired woman walked into her cabin. She had a basket filled with food for her kids. She placed the basket down on the table. "Samuel! Charlie! Ashley!" she shouted. The floorboards creaked as three small children came running down the hallway. Ashley took off ahead of her siblings. "helo ymestynnch!" shouted Ashley. She tossed her arms around her mother's waist. Her mother smiled kissing the top of her head. Samuel stood at the table. He had only one thing on his mind, food. His mother chuckled. "amynedd Samuel." She picked her son up. She nuzzled him gently. Just then there was a knock at the door. "Ewch! Union fel y soniasom!" she ordered. Samuel nodded. He motioned for his siblings to follow him. Samuel took a glance over his shoulder. He could hear male voices welling up from the other side of the door. Charlie tugged at his brother's arm. The three of them hid in the bathroom. Samuel listened to the conversation from the crack underneath the door. "Rydym yn gwybod eich lloches iddynt. Ble maen nhw?" barked one of the men. The men wore dark red and black clothing. Each robe sported an eye with a half moon over it. "Ddim yn gwybod beth yr ydych yn son amdano. Dwi ddim hyd yn oed yn gwybod beth yr ydych yn chwilio amdano, ond mae angen I chi adael!" Countered the children's mother. Samuel heard his mom get slapped. "atal menywod yn dweud celwydd! Dywedch wrthym ble yr ydych yn cuddio y plant llawer!" yelled the man again. The mother eyed the man slowly. "cefais lawer farw yn hytrach nag I ddweud wrthych." She snarled. The man's eyes narrowed. "yn ei lladd. Llosgwch y ty hwn. Llosgi y pentref I'r ddaear. Adael unrhyw olion sydd gennym yma." He growled. Samuel heard his mother pleading for them to leave them alone. He felt someone pounding on the door. Samuel gasped backing up. His siblings trembled around him. Charlie was getting ready to cry. Samuel felt something inside of him wake up. His eyes turned a deadly shade of red. His body began to change. He took on the form of a devilish-looking cat. The door flew open. Samuel snarled leaping at their attacker. His fangs met the man's throat tearing it open. He felt the man land on the floor. He heard more yelling. "Samuel yn rehedeg! Gael eich brodyr a chwiorydd allan yma! Rhedeg!" pleaded his mother. Tears were in his eyes. The general grabbed his mother by the throat. "no!" shouted Samuel. The general stabbed his mother through the chest. His siblings watched in horror as their mother died right before their eyes. Ashley tried to run past them. She ended up getting snatched by the assassins. "go!" she shouted. "Just go!" Charlie and Samuel fled from home.

Twenty Years Have Passed…

Lightning crackled in the sky. A man stumbled around in the darkness. The flashing light showed his faint outline. He had several wounds on his body. His white shirt ruined by the puddles of blood growing on him. He ditched his shirt in one of the bushes. He heard a small hiss behind him. "Shit." He muttered. He took off running. He didn't have time to deal with whatever was behind him. A creature standing on two legs gave chase. Blue mist formed in it's hands. It shot a bolt of mist at him. The man dodged the attack. He veered sharply off the forest path. The creature kept pace with him. It kept firing bolts at the backs of his legs. The man didn't look where he was going. His foot missed the edge of the ravine. He screamed as he fell. His hand couldn't grip the edge in time. The creature watched as he fell downwards. The man's head hit a rock on the way down causing him to black out.

The skies began to clear up the next morning. The rain had left deep puddles of water everywhere. The mountain paths were muddy and hard to walk on. The waves finally died down enough for Charlie, the local fisherman, to begin his daily catch. He sighed untying his boat from the dock. "Charlie!" shouted a voice. Charlie looked up. He saw his wife looking down at him. "I just wanted to tell you that I'm taking the twins on a walk near the forest." He nodded. "be careful love. The paths are rather risky." She smiled. "I will. See you later." Charlie smiled back. He stepped into his cabin starting his boat up. Bronwyn went back to the café. The twins were downstairs ready to go. A lightly blonde haired man stood behind the counter. "I hope I didn't bother you this morning, Winter." Murmured Bronwyn. Winter smiled at her. "nonsense. I don't mind taking over for you. It's a nice change of pace. Have fun but be careful. I smelled some nightmare activity near the woods." She nodded. She made sure she had everything first. "let's go kids." The twins followed after her. Winter watched them disappear down the street corner. James stayed close to his mother. He had gone mute ever since his beloved Uncle went missing. This worried Bronwyn. She held his hand tightly. He walked quietly next to her. Sarah walked ahead of her family. She drew in the fresh air around her. She loved the fresh forest scents. "it must have rained hard last night." She paused to stare at her reflection in a puddle. "I haven't seen this much water since the last time PontyPandy was flooded." Bronwyn ruffled Sarah's hair. "That's because the storm cell was huge. PontyPandy really needed the rain."

The wind whistled lightly through the tree branches of the forest. Dark leaves fell the ground. The forest paths were covered in leaves. A blonde-haired women stood near the stone wall watching the forest shadows. Bronwyn approached her from behind. "hello Penny." She greeted softly. Penny turned around. "hey Bronwyn." Penny had barely returned to PontyPandy. She suffered a major accident that caused her to be out of work for a while. She still felt awkward about talking to anyone from PontyPandy. "It's really nice to see you again. I hope you have been well." Penny nodded. "Just trying to survive. I spent a grander part of last night trying to unpack everything." She leaned against the wall again. "it just feels strange to be back here of all places." She remarked. Bronwyn stood by her. "everyone here has missed you just as much as they missed…" she cut herself off. "him? I know. So, I've been told." Penny went silent afterwards. "how long will you be staying?" asked Bronwyn. "about a week or so. Give her take then I'll be heading up north." Bronwyn placed a hand on her shoulder. "we'll miss you." Penny sighed. "I know you will. It's for the best."

James and Sarah headed off into the forest leaving their mother behind. Sarah caught the sight of something white hanging off one of the bushes. Sarah touched it gently. "James! Come here!" she called. Her brother raced over towards her. She held up the ruined shirt. "look at this." Her brother inspected it. Just then the bushes moved near one of the trees. A dark shadow moved amongst then. Sarah dropped the shirt in a panic. She grabbed her brother's hand. The figure started to get closer to them. Sarah could make out the golden glow of its eyes. The figure slowly stood on its back legs. Sarah opened her jaws to scream when suddenly a dark grey paw covered her mouth. The creature held her close shushing her. Sarah pushed its paw away. "Hoshi! You sneak!" she snapped. The wereotter let out a low hum that sounded like a laugh. Dark mist formed over him and he reverted forms. "what are a couple of cubs like you doing out in the woods?" He asked. "well we were here with mom but she decided to talk to Penny." Hoshi picked the shirt off the ground. "is this yours?" Sarah shook her head. "No. We found it laying her on this bush." Hoshi felt the shirt over in his fingers. He gave it a small whiff. A familiar scent hit his nostrils. He looked at them. "get mom."

"Mom!" shouted Sarah. Bronwyn looked up when she heard Sarah calling for her. She frowned. "what's the matter?" Hoshi showed her the shirt. "they found this but…" he took another whiff of it. "the smell…it can't be." She tilted her head to the side. "there's only one way to put this theory to the test." He attached the shirt to his belt. Dark grey mist formed around him. He stood in front of his family in his animal state. "come on!" He took off through the bushes. The scent grandly grew stronger. Bronwyn and her family could barely keep up with him. Hoshi's sensitive whiskers prickled as the air steadily grew hot. The scent overpowered the natural forest scents. He paused near the edge of a ravine. He looked down it. He scanned the ravine for any signs of him. His whiskers moved again. His gaze fell upon a rock spike further down the ravine. He followed the edge of the ravine carefully. He paused sitting close to the edge. He let out low huffs at his mother to let her know that he had found something. "what did you find?" She gasped seeing what Hoshi was pointing at. She turned to Penny. "Penny, you need to phone the station at once. Tell them we found him."
