Thank you IronBat for the wonderful review. I am afraid to say that I really don't know German that well.

I am going to try to update every Thursday if I can. It just depends on what is going on

Chapter Two:

Steele looked up to see the familiar flashing blue light from Helen's ambulance vehicle. Helen stepped out into the rain. She rushes over to Penny and Station Officer Steele. She kneels down to examine Penny. She checks for a pulse. "she's breathing. I think she might of just fainted but that still doesn't mean we shouldn't take her to the hospital. Arnold, can you help me load her into the back of the ambulance please?" Arnold nodded. Helen positioned her gurny right next to Penny. Arnold and her then gently lifted Penny onto it. They carefully loaded Penny into the back of the ambulance.

Elvis kept the shadow pinned to the ground. He tried his best to grab their arms. Their blue eyes began to glow. A bright light replused Elvis off of them. Elvis' back slammed into the bark. He held his head. The shadow made a quick getaway disappearing off into the darkness. Elvis slowly got back onto his feet. He went to see if they had left any tracks. The trail they left behind was a set of dog prints. Before Elvis could even make a move, he heard his radio crackle to life. Elvis picked it up.

"Cridlington, where are you?"

Elvis looked around. "In the heart of the woods, sir."

"well once your done, I need you back here at once. Did you manage to catch our attacker?"

"I did but they ended up getting away. I got hit with a blue light."

"strange. Anyway, head on back. Out."

Elvis placed his radio back onto his chest. He walked out of the woods and headed back to the Newtown Road. He jumped over the wall. Steele tsked when he saw him. "your covered in mud, Cridlington." he snapped. "sorry sir. It was kind of muddy out there." Steele shook his head. "I want you to place a towel down before sitting up front, Cridlington. Lord knows that none of us want to clean the mud out of those seats." The both of them looked up seeing another pair of headlights approach them. A figure got off the top of an ATV. "Sam? What are you doing here?" asked Steele. "I came to check the situation out and offer help if you guys needed it." Steele looked at Elvis. "well Elvis here lost the shadow that attacked Penny. Maybe you two would have better luck together." Sam nodded. "we'll stay here and search sir. You'd better get moving."

Elvis and Sam watched as Jupiter turned around. It followed Helen's ambulance up the Newtown road. Sam went over to the wall. "he said it was in the woods right Elvis?" Elvis gave a nod of his head. "yeah Sam. I nearly had it but something about it knocked me back." Sam jumped over the wall. The ground shifted underneath him. His boots sank a bit into the mud. Elvis jumped down next to him. Sam pulled his flashlight off his belt. The two of them went walking off into the woods.

Penny slowly started to come to. Bright light blinded her vision for a few seconds. She held her arm up against the light. "oh good she's waking up." came a voice. Penny turned her head slightly to the side. She spotted Station Officer Steele looking at her. "how are you feeling Penny?" She rubs her head as she sits up. "I feel okay just very dizzy. My head hurts." She looks around. "how did I end up here?" "you fell outside of Venus. Station Officer Steele spotted someone near you. It took off running so Sam and Elvis are looking for it." replied Arnold. She rubs her head. "the shadow was a dog of some sort. I hardly had a chance to look at it before I fainted. I hit it on accident with the front end of Venus. It didn't give me time to stop." Steele placed a hand on her shoulder. "just try to get some rest. We'll take care of everything." Penny settled back down to rest. She felt exhaustion finally take her.

The rain continued to pour outside. Sam's uniform weighed down on him. He ended up having to take his firefighting jacket off. He slung it over a branch for safe keeping. His undershirt started to get wet. He walked back over to Elvis who was standing next to the set of foot prints he had found earlier. "the shadow I tracked down was human but when I found these tracks, they're dog like." Sam scratched his chin. "strange." I know that there's a logical explanation for this. He looks at Elvis. "lets follow it and see where it takes us."

The tracks lead further into the woods. They stopped right in front of an old shrine. The shrine was made of both wood and stone. There was a broken statue of what appeared to be a dog. Sam knelt in front of it. He felt the shrine with his fingers. The dirt scraped off into his finger tips. "The Shrine of Fenrir? Why would they come here?" wondered Elvis. "not sure, Elvis. They might practice rituals around here. If that's the case then I don't think we should stay here. Let's head back to the station." Elvis and Sam began to walk away from the shrine. The shadow watched them from the darkness. It's blue eyes glistened in the darkness.

Sam and Elvis arrived back at the station. Sam barely stepped out of Jupiter when he heard the familiar engine rumble coming from Jupiter. "any luck finding our attacker, Sam?" Sam shook his head. "no. We did find a shrine though. Looks like it could use some care. It was rather damaged." Steele scratches his chin. "I'll have the professor take a look at it tomorrow when the rain stops. Penny is going to be just fine, by the way. She's recovering but the hospital wants to keep her overnight just to be on the safe side." Elvis placed a hand over his chest. "thank goodness."

Skye heard talking going on downstairs. She tossed her things off to the other side of the couch before hiding. "Sir, there's someone I want you to meet." said Sam. He reaches the top of the stairs only to find Skye gone. "Skye? Where did you go?" he heard movement from the other side of the couch. Skye poked her head up. "there you are. Why were you hiding?" Skye shrugged. "don't know. I thought your superior would have a bit of a problem with me being here." Steele held up his hand. "nonsense. Only those who do not cause trouble can stay. It's very nice to meet you Skye. I'm Station Officer Steele." Skye smiles politely at him. She takes her place by Sam's side. " I hope you don't mind but I'll be hanging out here until the rain clears." "no, not at all. Make yourself at home."

Skye stayed until the rain pettered out. She grabbed her bag. "now about housing." Sam facepalmed. "oh yeah that's right. I kind of forgot about that. You'll be staying with me for right now. I'm sure you can work out things like work." Skye slung her bag over her shoulder. Sam gestured out towards the window. "I live just right across from the station." Skye nods. "right I guess I'm off then. See you guys later." The Fire Brigade baide her farewell.

Skye stepped out onto the slick pavement. The clouds hung heavily over PontyPandy. Skye tugged her jacket around her. Her eyes scanned the hills in front of her. She managed to find the gate that lead into the housing district closet to the station. A white furred dalamatian laid underneath the awning on Sam's porch. It lifted it's head up. It growled softly. Skye knelt down in front of it. "hello cutie. Sammy never told me he had a dog. Aren't you adorable?" she cooed. She gave the dalamation a loving pat. She then dug through her bag to find a treat for it. The dalamation perked up even more as she handed it a meat treat. She smiled. "you enjoy that. I'm going to head on inside okay?" She got to her feet. Sam lived in a two-story house with a porch on the backside of it. He also had a small shed next to his garden. Skye carefully opened the backdoor. "you really shouldn't leave the back door unlocked Samuel." She made a space just large enough for her to enter. Her hand started looking for a light switch. Thankfully there was one right next to the door. The light shined on Sam's living room. He had baige colored walls with white lining. A welsh flag hung right over the back of his couch. A TV hung on the wall in front of the couch. There was a hallway right next to the living room. Skye tossed her bag onto the couch before flopping down onto it with a sigh.

Skye decided to watch TV until Sam came home. She curled up onto her side on top of the couch. I need to make sure I hook up my console. The lack of TV channels is bugging me. I'm glad that I brought my video game collection with me from Winslow. She eyed her bag. Not like he's home. I could always hook it up now if I want to. She snatched up her bag. She reached inside to pull out a black box. She took some time to hook it up to the TV. She smiled to herself. She played Assassin's Creed Origins for the rest of the afternoon.

Sam came home to Skye asleep on the couch. Her hand dangled off the couch. Sam carefully recentered her back onto the couch. He tucked her hand next to her before kissing the top of her forehead. He drapped a blanket he had gotten from his linen closet over her. "good night Skylar." He turned the TV off placing the remote on top of her console.
