Warning I don't own the Nightshade Series this is just my version of how the story should go!

Emile and Ren were locked in battle. When they hit the floor, Stephen slammed into Emile, shoving him away from Ren, who lay horribly still on the library floor. Calla crouched down over Ren. Ren was barely alive. Calla bit her wrist and slightly moved Ren so she could get the blood in his mouth. Ren still wasn't moving which made Calla think that she was too late. Calla put her head down and started to cry.

Adne slowly walked over to her brother and Calla then crouched down next to Calla. "Why? Why do you have to leave me too?" Adne asked patting Ren's head. Then she turns and looked back at Conner who was standing next to Shay. Then without saying another word she got up and walked over to Conner.

Shay looked at me and shifted forms. Calla. He slowly walked forward toward Calla.

Calla let out a low growl at Shay. Stay away.

Not listening Shay shifted back and walked up behind Calla and put his hand on her shoulder to get her attention.

"Calla, we need to finish the war in order to make things right," Shay whispered.

"Shay, how can I fight when I never got to tell Ren how I felt about him and now it is too late," Calla replied, "just finish this war without me."

"We can't. We need your help to keep the guardians in line."

Without looking up Calla said, "Fine. Shay just give me a couple of minutes please and then I will help."

Shay backed off and said, "Okay but don't take too long."

Calla shifted forms and picked up her head slowly and let out a long sad sounding howl and all of the other guardians starting howling as well. Shay left Calla alone with Ren. Everyone followed Shay's lead and backed away and left.

Calla shifted back into her human form and leaned in close to Ren. Calla then whispered into Ren's ear, "Ren, I love you."

Ren still laid on the floor not moving. Finally after about a minute realizing Ren wasn't getting up, Calla got up and started after Shay.

Calla left the library to go and find Shay who was starting to fight Bosque and close the Rift. Ren still lying on the library floor started to move slightly.
