Pain filled my body, I was drifting in between awake and asleep. I felt that I was floating in the air and thought to myself that I was dead.
"You're not dead yet." A voice said.
I opened my eyes to see an elderly man with wolf ears and tail. His eyes looking through and at me at the same time. I blinked and shook my head.
"I have to be…I'm seeing…"
"My name is Rouga, leader of the sprit wolf pack, and I'm here to keep a promise."
"A promise…"
"Your mother's power allowed her go to different dimesons, many times she came her to the sprit world. She became friends with my late mate. Therefore, when your mother left the world she was born it to protect the two children she gave birth to, I promised her that I would protect the two of you."
"From what?"
"I can't tell you that right now, I need you to focus on something else."
"What?"
"The believe that you need to live."
"Need to live?"
"Yes, it's the only way for humans to leave the spirit world, the ones who come here too soon."
"But…"
"Your body is in what your people call coma, to keep you there you will need to bond with me."
"Bond with you?"
"Yes, you will carry my spirit within you and I will help you fight if you wish."
"In other words I would become a bijuu…"
"I'M NOT A DEMON."
I winced but nodded as I felt him relax. Then he came close to me as I felt myself relax, and then he whispered in my ear.
"Do you want to live?"
"Yes." I replied then felt searing pain my shoulder.
"Very well, you will hold my spirit inside you, this bite will be our bond."
I didn't answer him but felt warmth fill my body as my vision fell to black.

I screamed awake as I sat up, this caused the people around me to jump. I reached for my shoulder which was still smarting. Then I heard whispers and realized I wasn't alone. I looked around to see men all round me. I blushed and pulled the covers up to cover my head and prayed that this was just a dream.
"What's all this, I told you all leave our guest alone. A group of men shouldn't be hanging around a young girl." A voice commanded, and I heard the men leave.
"You may now raise your head, they are gone."
I did and was face to face with Izo, the crossing dressing commander of White Beard pirates. I felt safe, maybe because he was dressed like a girl. I then felt a little light headed, then felt him lay me down.
"You shouldn't sit up so fast, now I have a few questions for you, and I know you might have a few questions for me. I'll start okay?"
I nodded.
"Alright, first question are you Whittney or Brittney?"
My eyes went wide.
"Do you really think that pops wouldn't talk about his daughter and his granddaughters?"
"NO…"
"Also, you look so much like Ella."
"Brittney is the splitting image." I replied looking down.
"Ella's gone isn't she."
"She died…the burial was yesterday."
"I'm sorry my dear…"
"Yeah…."
"How did it happen?"
"Illness."
He nodded, and then handed me a cup of tea.
"Drink this, it will help you calm down."
"Thanks."
"So, after you buried you mother…"
I told him all that happened and watched as he frowned when I got to the part of being shot and then deal I made with the sprit.
"So that explains the mark on your shoulder now."
"Mark?" I asked as I looked at the said shoulder.
The mark was in the shape of a wolf paw with four lines at the edges. The lines were made of characters that I couldn't read. I sighed and touched the mark only to fell a jolt of power filled my body. I shivered as when I looked at the marking again I could read them.
"This part of my power, I didn't want anyone to try to break the seal."
I nodded hearing the voice of Rouga in my head.
"Now back to real question…where Brittney is?"
