I'm sorry I'm getting confused. I've been calling Serena Mai from ghost hunt. I apologise.

Please enjoy.

Serena went back to her family and her father was on her as soon as he saw her. "Where have you been?" He demanded.

"Oh, for goodness sake, Kenji, leave the girl alone. She probably got stuck in the rain and fell asleep in a cave or some thing." Ilene said coming up to stand right next to Serena. "That tight Serena?" Ilene looked at the white tiger who nodded. Her father sighed and went back to fishing with Sammy.

Serena pressed herself against her mother and rubbed her head against her thigh, purring as to say thank you. Ilene smiled and patted her head and went back to her rod.

Serena raced down the bank and jumped in to the water, splashing everyone. "Serena!" her family shouted. When she came back up she saw her father in his orange tiger and was about to pounce in to the water. When he did he made a big plash. Ilene and Sammy laughed and watched from the bank.

Serena and Kenji played in the water for ages, leaving Ilene and Sammy to fish for their dinner. Then suddenly Serena heard a familiar scream. She stopped playing and swam to the shore shook herself and her went up waiting for another scream. It came a minute later. Kenji watched his daughter in confusion. Some thing had got her attention. He saw her bolt into the bushes.

Kenji roared for her to come back, Serena roared back. "I'll be back dad. Some one is in trouble.

Serena ran and ran until she found Rosie and her brother being attacked by a bear. Darien was shielding Rosie by putting himself between them.

The bear was about to strike when Serena jumped on to the bear's back with a roar and she grabbed it by the neck. The bear roared in pain and managed to shake Serena off. Serena landed on her feet She bared her teeth and growled. The fur on her back stood up. She was ready for the bear to attack her. But then she heard a cup crying in the distance.

Suddenly the bear stopped growling and went back to her four legs and walked away. Once the bear was gone Serena stood up straight and walked up to Rosie and nudged her hand as if she was asking her if she was okay. Rosie wrapped her arms around Serena. "Thank you my friend." She whispered in her fur.

Darien was about to pat her but Serena snapped at his hand and growled. Darien jumped back. Then Serena laid down and pressed against Rosie who looked at her in confusion, she looked at her brother and shrugged. "Come on Rosie, we need to find a way home." Darien grabbed her hand and tugged.

Serena sighed. She wanted Rosie to climb on to her back. Serena is bigger then Rosie. To Rosie Serena is a large pony. Serena wanted Rosie to ride on her back so she can take her and her brother to her family.

Serena ran to catch up to them and threw Rosie up in the air and caught her on her back and did a u-turn back towards her family's camp.

"Did you want me to ride you?" Rosie asked her. Serena nodded her head once. "Where are you taking me?" Serena couldn't reply. Serena could have easily changed forms to answer the little girl but she was scared that Rosie and her brother might freak out.

Rosie turned to see her brother just standing there. "You coming?" She asked him. "Rosie, get off that creature. I don't care that she is your friend and she helped and protected you. We don't know where she is leading us..." As Darien was talking he followed Serena and Rosie to a camp site.

"Serena, are you alright? We were looking all over for you." Ilene said as she ran to her daughter. "Who is this?" She asked when she noticed Darien and Rosie on her back.

They are lost and got attacked by a bear. Please don't say anything about me being a shape shifter. They might freak out and Darien might try and kill me, please! Serena sent her mother through thought. Ilene nodded.

"Come with me, I'll get you something to eat and you can tell me everything." Ilene led them to the fire place and gave them a plate full of fish and veggies and chips.

While they ate Darien and Rosie explained their story and surprisingly Ilene and her family believed them.

Silence drifted over the camp but then Rosie broke it. "Can you tell me what sort of creature you call Serena is?"

"Serena is a tiger. A big cat. She is the biggest cat in the world. The Siberian tiger." Kenji replied.

"What does she eat?" Darien asked.

Sammy looked at him up and down then said, "You would be a fine snack."

Darien's eyes widened with fear and gulped down the last of his fish. "Sammy, there is no need to frighten our guests." Ilene glared at her son then turned to Darien and Rosie. "She won't hurt you. Kenji and I raised since she was a kitten. A kitten is a baby cat."

Darien looked at Serena who snarled at him then went back to eating her fish. "Serena doesn't like me." Darien sighed as he put his empty plate down on top of Kenji's then stood up. "We better go, we took enough of your time as it is, come on Rosie."

Rosie stood up and was hoisted up on to Darien's hip.

"Wait, stay the night. You can continue the search in the morning, when you a well rested." Ilene said standing up also. "Serena can help you."

Darien hesitated and looked at Rosie who was about to fall asleep. Then he turned to Ilene. "Thank you." He said with a smile.

Ilene returned it. "You and Rosie can share with Serena. In the morning Serena can help you search for the portal."

"Thank you." Rosie said as she and Darien followed Serena to her tent. In the tent Darien took off his belt then his shirt. He had a eight back. Serena noticed as she curled around Rosie like she did in the cave. But this time Rosie didn't hesitate she curled in to a ball in Serena's thick fur. Soon the two fell asleep.

Darien laid there on top of the blankets, wondering if the tiger was really that soft. Hoping and praying that the cat was in a deep sleep he reached out a hand to touch the head.

Serena sensed the hand coming towards her head, so her head snapped up and she showed him her sharp canines.

"I'm sorry that I attacked you I thought that you were going to attack Rosie. I didn't know you two were playing." Darien whispered, wanting to be Serena's friend. But Serena only growled at him.

"You don't trust me do you?" Darien got the picture. Serena just stared at him with her angry ice blue eyes.

I'm sorry I took so long to update.

I'm sorry if it boring.

Serena will show Darien and Rosie her human form later in the story. This chapter explains why she hasn't changed forms.

Please Review.

Thank you.
