The Return of the Starnik

Chapter 3: I told you

Scott's P.O.V

Bored! Bored! Bored! Bored! Bored! If you hadn't noticed I was SO bored. I couldn't sleep, I was sat next to some newly wed couple off on their honeymoon so they wouldn't shut up, and the flight itself was lifeless. Eight boring, miserable, unbearable hours of sitting still. I still couldn't believe this was happening; I was finally going to find Rosie! That's why I couldn't sleep, I was too excited. After two years of being powerless and without my best friend, we'd finally be back together. Although Jasper Park was huge, hundreds of square miles of land, Rosie was in 1 metre of those and I would walk every centimetre until I found her and her family and made sure they were safe from the Ditori.

Six hours in, my back was aching, my feet were numb, my legs were squished in, an annoying couple next to me. Argh this was unbearable! "So what brings you to Canada?" A voiced asked.

"Huh?" I respond in my bored state. I turn and find out it was the newly weds.

"We noticed you look bored; we thought we could cheer you up a little?" Replied the man.

"Oh, ok. Well err, I'm meeting an old friend, I haven't seen her in two years." I said sitting up from my slouching position, much relieving my aching back.

"That's good, I hope it goes well. I'm Jude by the way and this is my husband Tom. We're on our honeymoon." She said with a huge grin holding his hand.

"You don't say." I thought.

"We're landing in Jasper and travelling to Vancouver. Tom's a lawyer and I'm an estate agent so we can afford it. What do you work as?" Jude said. I didn't care what others thought of me and what I did so I just said.

"I'm a mind reader." I said with a smile, proud of what I was. The couple looked at each other with faces that said I was a complete nutter, I noticed this. "Ahh sceptics are you?"

"Yeah, we are." Tom simply replied. Jude seemed more interested and held out her hand.

"What's my future?" She asked.

"I don't see the future; I read minds and see your memories." I replied. Tom gave a little scoff and said in complete scepticism.

"Yeah right." She elbowed him slightly and said.

"Don't listen to him, prove us wrong. Read mine, but first..." She took off her scarf and leaned over Tom and handing it to me. "Cover your eye's just to prove your not cold reading us."

"Ok." I replied and tied the scarf around my eyes. "Ok, relax your mind, think of a memory, It can be anything." I added. I waited a few moments before asking. "Got one?"

"Yep." She said. And with that I entered her mind and into her memories. She was just as easy as the others. I found the filing cabinet with all her memories and boy did she have a few. One seemed to be glowing unlike all the others, highlighting that this was the one she was thinking of. I opened the memory and found myself inside it like I was living it. I spoke out loud what I saw.

"It's your wedding, I'm standing at the end of the aisle beside Tom, his suit is good. You're walking down the aisle in a crimson red dress and red rose bouquet; your hair is curled slightly and thrown over your left shoulder, the music playing isn't here come the bride, it's Skyfall by Adele. You stand beside Tom and start the ceremony. Halfway through a man behind you faints but gets back up a few moments later, he was fine. I guess that was your dad Judy. I'll skip the boring stuff and move on. Ok, err; I'm at the reception and everyone's listening to Tom's speech. Something about how much he loves you and you're the only girl for him. What's this, you're singing Tom, and you have a good voice." I finally finished laughing a little and pulled out of her mind putting back all her memories how I found them. I removed the blind fold and saw the two giving my wide eyed looks.

"That's incredible." Jude said in awe. "How did you do that?"

"That's a secret." I said teasingly.

"Ok, now I'm a believer." Tom said shocked. The last few hours of the flight we talked and gossiped. Surprisingly Jude came up with a subject I never expected.

"Did you hear about that incident in America a few years ago? Some supernatural disaster." I didn't know how to answer, it took a few moments but I came up with a reply.

"Yeah I did, I was in the city when it happened." I didn't realise I said that last bit, god I'm so stupid!

"Really?! What happened?" Tom asked keenly listening.

"There was some guy that went on a rampage across the city. I didn't really see what happened but I could certainly hear it. Gun shots, explosions, people screaming." I recalled what happened that night but tried not to give too much away. I shared what I knew without giving my secret away or the fact that I was involved.

Our conversation was ended when finally the announcement from the pilot that I had waited eight hours came through the speakers. "Ladies and gentlemen this your pilot speaking, we are beginning our final stages of descent and we will shortly arrive in Jasper, Canada in 20 minutes." I couldn't wait I was only minutes away from being with 30 miles of Rosie! I looked out the window to see we were flying over the park, she was down there!

Time skip 30 minutes

The plane had landed and I was one of the first to exit the aircraft. It was good to be back nearer my country. I grabbed my bag and case containing my bow and walked down the plane just as everyone was getting up. I said my goodbyes to Tom and Jude, they were a nice couple and I wished them an excellent honeymoon. I walked as fast as I could down the passage as soon as the doors opened and towards the customs checkpoint and presented my passport. I was asked as to why I was in a rush and I simply said I was late for a work meeting. I would have said I was meeting a friend and was eager to go but that would have raised suspicions that I put a bomb on the plane or something. Thankfully, I flew customs just as the other passengers were coming towards it. I power walked through the airport trying to find the way out, man it was tricky, this airport was huge!

Thankfully I found the exit. I made for the door as I was removing my bow and arrow from its case, I threw the case in a bin I passed, placed the arrows in my side bag and put the bow around my chest. I was stopped just as I got to the exit by a sign. "Rent a car." I thought that it may be best to get a car if I was going to get to Jasper Park. It was about thirty miles away anyway and I didn't fancy walking. I knew I wouldn't be able to return the car and I wasn't too bothered, was it stealing? Probably. But oh well. I walked up to the car hire desk and looked though a booklet at what they had. I wanted something four wheeled and was big enough for five people. I found the perfect one, a Land Rover Defender. Perfect for off road use, big enough for 5 and also a convertible for when it gets hot. I quickly signed some paperwork and agreed to have it for 2 weeks, although I highly doubt that I'll return it. He handed me the keys and a slip and told me to go outside and give an airport staff member and they'll bring it round.

I did as he said and within 15 minutes I was in the car leaving the airport. I found a map inside the car so I pulled over to the side of the road and opened it. Jasper Park wasn't hard to find, it was the huge area of forest slap bang in the middle of the map. I found the airport and followed the road I went up and found out where I was. I needed to travel thirty miles up this road and it should lead me straight there, from there I would walk around the forest until I find her. I dropped the map on the passenger seat and stared out the window. The sudden realization suddenly came that I was going to see Rosie today, my friend and partner. I glanced over at the clock in the car, it said 3:50pm, It would take 20 minutes to get there, I couldn't wait that long. I slammed my foot on the gas pedal and powered down the highway. I could feel I was getting closer; something inside me felt like it was waking up from a deep sleep, what ever it was I began to feel more alive.

Time skip 20 minutes

I was now driving along a road; Jasper Park was on the right of me. I was looking for some path or off-road track to drive up to get into the forest. It was an agonizingly painful moment as I just wanted to drive straight through the bushes and trees into the forest. Finally I found a campsite on the edge of the park; I pulled in and parked it in the first space I saw. I grabbed my bag and bow and stepped out of the car. I didn't stop to look around and ran for the woods but was stopped by one of the rangers in a cabin. "Hey, you don't want to go in there, it's full of things that would eat you." He said stepping out with a rifle in hand

"It's ok, I used to live in there, I just came to collect some things. I won't be long." I said obviously lying.

"Ok, don't say I warned you. At least take this." He handing me a walkie talkie. "This way if you run into trouble then you can call us."

"Sure thanks" I said taking it off him and turning back for the woods. I glanced back round and saw he was back in the cabin; I took this moment and threw the walkie talkie into the bushes and ran into the trees. I had no idea where I was going but I felt I should follow that feeling because as I was getting further into the woods the stronger it got. Every time I changed direction that feeling would feel fainter so I'd spin around until I felt it was the right way.

I ran through the forest, weaving around trees, jumping over logs and sliding under fallen trees, it felt like the good old days back in the valley when Rosie and I would go running, that memory kept me going. A loud snap of a branch stopped me my tracks and I came skidding to a stop, my senses hadn't changed since I left the wilderness and they seemed to be returning stronger as I moved closer, this was my real home, outside. I stood still surveying the area around me, my ears listening for the slightest sound, my eyes looking for the smallest movement, my nose smelling for the dimmest change of scent. I connected for the first time in a long time with my inner wolf to help notice the slightest change the area in all cases. Small became more fragrant, colours more vibrant sounds louder then they really were. There it was again, another branch snapping under something or someone's weight. I looked where the sound came from; clenching my eyes slightly to focus in the direction it came from. But wait, maybe it was Rosie or her family. Suddenly there was a small hiss followed by a small object coming straight for me. I ducked beneath the path of the projectile and watched as it impaled a tree just behind me. I stood up and looked closer at the object. "Oh shit!" I said aloud, it was a dart, they're here. Suddenly there were multiple roars and cries as dozens of both men and women appeared from the undergrowth and began running towards me baring guns. I didn't wait for them to do what ever they planned and ran deeper into the woods.

I strung an arrow from my side bag with lightening speed and using a tree I jumped off it, doing a 360 degree spin in mid air, firing the arrow and hitting someone. I landed and kept moving, now I only hand eight arrows left so I only wanted to use them when I had to. I saw a grass plain coming up ahead of me, I didn't want to go in there but I had no choice, more of the Ditori were closing in on me from the sides forcing me into it. But something inside me said to keep running. I ran out of the tress and into the grass plain. Suddenly I felt that feeling inside me completely awaken, I fell to the floor but not in pain, I don't know what I felt, I couldn't describe it. I didn't have time to understand what it was so I picked myself up and ran deeper into the grass plain. Something told me she was nearby, I knew it. "ROSIE!"

Rosie's P.O.V

This morning was like every other morning; the kids were up and play fighting like every morning, I was watching from the sidelines with my husband, it was a beautiful sunny day, the cool breeze flowing through our fur cooling us off under the suns heat. Shadow and I removed our gaze from the kids and looked into each others eyes; he then got up pouncing on me. I was lying on my back as he stood over me, my fore paws wrapped around his neck. "What's up with you?" I asked.

"Nothing, am I not aloud to kiss my mate when I feel like it?" He said with a smile.

"Of course you can, don't let me stop you." I said leaning towards him. He reached down and we began to kiss. I loved it when he did that, we broke apart after a few amazing moments but his face was not showing that he enjoyed it, it was an expression of curiosity. "What's wrong now?" I asked genuinely confused.

"What are you doing?" He asked again.

"I'm lying on my back kissing you, aren't I?" I replied stating the obvious.

"No not that, your eyes, they're green." He said stepping to the side letting me up. I walked up to a puddle just by our den and looked at my reflection and sure enough, they were. I looked closely to make sure I wasn't seeing things, spreading my eyelids apart. Sure they've changed before, but there was something different about them, to me they looked a bit darker then usual and swirled around my pupil quicker, but not by much. But the main point was that i wasn't doing anything to set them off, Shadow would have to have kissed me a lot more to get me that excited. Just then the kids came running up the hill.

"Mom what's happening, something's up with the wind." Dakota asked worried. I looked back at him and saw both he and Lupa gasped at the sight of my eyes. I hadn't noticed it but the wind began to increase and slowly get stronger.

"Mom what's going on?" Lupa asked again sounding just as concerned. I looked to the ground trying to think. Suddenly there was a sharp sting going along my side. I yelped a little and looked to see what it was and I couldn't believe it, my scar was fading. I watched as the scar vanished starting from the centre going outwards towards my shoulder and hip and being replaced by fur. It hurt a little so I clenched my teeth to try and get through the pain. I hadn't felt pain like this in a while, it wasn't the type that you get when you hurt yourself, I can't describe how it felt, but what I can say is that I hadn't felt that type of pain in over two years. After it finished I looked at it in awe, then at my family all giving the same expressions and then back to where the scar was. I brushed my paw along my side expecting to feel the bump of a scar, but no, nothing. I noticed some parts of my fur looked different, those grey strands of fur I had, were no longer there, my skin felt more durable, I felt younger.

"No way." I said aloud. I looked at my back family and then around us at the wind; it was now strong enough to pick up twigs and leaves. Slowly it began to die down and settle to the original breeze that it was to start off with. Something told me to look over the grass plains, so I ran past my family and looked out over the plains. I was joined by Shadow and the kids who came either side of me.

"Honey, what's wrong? You're scaring us." Shadow asked. Just then there was a shout in the air, like a faint whisper but as it was in the distance we knew it was a shout.

"Rosie!" It echoed. My eyes went wide in shock, I knew that voice anywhere, it was him!

"Oh my God! He's here!" I shouted.

"Who's here?" Dakota asked.

"There!" I said pointing out across the plains, there was a human running across the plains followed by about 20 armed men and women. "It's Scott it's Scott!" I yelled before running down the hill followed by Shadow, Lupa and Dakota. I ran out of excitement and fear of what would happen. "Guys staying hidden and don't come out unless I tell you to, got it!" I ordered whilst running. Finally we reached the edge of the grass plains. "Stay here!" I ordered again. They nodded and I ran to get Scott. I saw him running straight towards me. "SCOTT!" I yelled in happiness which leaked out of me in tears.

"ROSIE!" He yelled back. We ran into each other without slowing down, he opened his arms as I launched myself into them. "I can't believe I found you!" He said crying in happiness.

"I knew you would." I replied. But this little reunion would have to wait. He quickly pulled away when the roars of his chasers filled our ears and said.

"Come on, RUN!" He shouted.

"Ok follow me!" I said. We ran back towards the others across the plain. I reached out my mind towards them and yelled. "Guys head back to the den, we'll meet you there!" They didn't answer so I could only hope they heard. I glanced back around and saw they Ditori still in pursuit. These guys don't give up easily.

We jumped over the bush and Shadow and the kids weren't there, they must be back at the den. We continued running up the hill when an idea came to me. "Come on, I know how we can lose them!" I shouted. I led him to a stream that was nearby. "Hold your breath!" I yelled. We both dove in and gripped the rocks under the water, which I found pretty hard so I dug my claws into a root I found in the murky depths. I opened my eyes and saw Scott's green eyes looking back at me. We then heard the muffled voices of several people on the shore, various voices shouting wondering where we went. We looked up past the surface to see their rippling reflections above the surface. After 45 seconds they finally left, much to our relief. We swam to the surface and leaped above it gasping for air, it never tasted better. We swam for the shore line and crawled out, both of us flopping to the ground and exhaustion. We lay panting and breathing in the sweet air, soaking wet. I looked over to him as he did to me; both our eyes were still green.

Suddenly I jumped to my paws and landed on him holding him tight, squealing in happiness as he was laughing. He jumped up still holding me and began spinning around, my back legs were flying out as my chest was held close to him. We both spun, laughing in happiness. Finally he came to a stop and fell to his knees still holding onto me. He pulled away and we both looked into the others eyes, I watched as his eyes changed to their beautiful blue. "I missed you so much." I said pulling him back into a hug.

"I missed you to. You have no idea have good it feels to hear your voice again" He said. We pulled away and looked at each other.

"How did you find me?" I asked smiling.

"I saw you on TV and heard you were here." He replied. "I told you I wouldn't stop looking for you."

"I knew you would. You kept me waiting long enough." I said punching his shoulder lightly making us both laugh.

"You haven't changed a bit." He said looking at me up and down.

"Well I was getting grey hairs but they disappeared when you showed up."

"How did you know I was here?" He asked curious.

"Well I had a scar running down my side and it healed when you were close. Don't ask how I got the scar."

"Fair enough. I heard you have a family now?" He asked excited.

"Yeah I do, how did you know?" He looked at me with a face that said it all. "Mom." Was all I said. "We should go a check on them." I said. I completely forgot about them, what if the Ditori found them! "We should run." I added

"Not a problem, just like old times." He said with a smile and picking up his bow. With that we took of running.

"By the way, how did you get that back?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Mom and dad got it off the them and sent it to me, shortly after they found where I lived, but I got out before they did." I remembered he met his parents again, that was nice of them I thought.

It was so much fun to run with him again, it was official, the Starnik were back together! We ran back to the den to find no-one around. "Maybe they're in there." Scott said pointing to the den.

"Shadow, you in there?" I asked into the darkness of the den quickly followed by some shuffling sounds and shortly after Shadow, Lupa and Dakota cautiously walked out, tails hanging slightly under them in fear. But my brave mate had his hackles raised and his teeth bore slightly as the human. Scott and I noticed that they were nervous. "Don't worry guys I've told you about Scott." I said motioning to him.

"It's good to meet you guys." He said kneeling down. They eyed him suspiciously, I understood why they did, I lived with Scott for a while and got used to being around Humans, they've never been near them so had a reason to be like this. "She looks a lot like Sarah." He said pointing to Lupa.

"Yeah she does. Scott meet my kids Lupa and Dakota." I said. He reached his hand out and said.

"Nice to meet you." They looked at his hand, weary of him.

"Kids don't worry, he wouldn't hurt a fly." I said elbowing him. Slowly Dakota approached him and placed his paw on his hand after scenting him which Scott held.

"Mom's talked a lot about you." Dakota said shaking his hand slightly and then walking back.

"Really, how much?" He said looking at me out the corner of his eye. Lupa then stepped forwards and shook his hand after scenting him.

"Too much." She said. Scott looked at me but I turned away blushing with embarrassment. I looked at Shadow and remembered him.

"Oh, and this is…"

"Shadow." Scott said before I could finish.

"How did you… Mom." I said laughing as did he. He then extended his hand towards Shadow and shook paws with him.

"Sarah told me about you." Scott said letting go.

"How much?" He asked nervously.

"Only your name, don't worry." Scott replied. Everyone began to settle down now, Lupa and Dakota sat beside one another and Shadow sat next to me, and Scott sat leaning against a rock, all of us forming a circle.

"So he is real." Shadow said. "I thought he was an imaginary friend of yours." He chuckled.

"No, he's very real." I replied with a giggle. "I told you he was."

"We all thought mom was crazy. She always told us stories about you and the adventures you two had." Dakota said.

"And they were some good ones." He chuckled as we locked our gazes for a few seconds.

"This is so weird." Lupa said randomly and unlocking our gaze.

"Why's that?" Scott asked.

"Well, we've never been near a human before, and in one day we meet one and we can understand him."

"I can see why now." He chuckled.

"How do you think I felt when I met him?" I said. "All alone, my mom died and a human just walks in." I giggled.

"How did you two meet?" Lupa asked curiously. I looked at Scott, both of us easily remembering that day like it was yesterday. We both told the story of how we met. Scott started off saying with just after he woke up.

Flashback-Scott's P.O.V

"I need to find her fast." I thought. I was just shot, I wasn't sure why I wasn't dead, I was bleeding a lot but felt fine. I looked back up and in front of me to see a small cave. My jaw dropped. I looked at the entrance to the cave and saw the bone scraps from when I was last here, then up to see the small 6ft cliff I fell down, again. "I found it." I thought with a smile on my face. I stood up groaning from the pain of falling and made my way over to the entrance. As I got closer I could hear crying coming from inside. I walked up to the entrance and peered into the darkness, I could still hear crying and I knew who it was. I let my eyes adjust to the darkness and saw a small grey object in the back of the den. "Rosie?" I asked quietly my voice echoing slightly. The crying stopped and the grey object quickly darted behind a rock inside the den. "Don't be afraid Rosie, I won't hurt you." I said into the darkness. There was a slight shuffling sound and a voice that asked.

"Who are you, and how can I understand you?" She asked scared

"My names Scott and I was with your mother when she died, you might remember me." I replied in a gently tone. She peeked round the corner slightly and said.

"I recognise you; you were shot by that hunter." She said.

"Yes I was, I was trying to save your mother. Can you come outside? I can't see very well in here." I asked. She hid behind the rock again and started whimpering "Don't be afraid I'm not going to hurt you, I just want to talk. I'll wait outside, when you're ready come on out." I turned around and walked back outside and sat on top of the large rock.

I sat there for a few minutes before I heard shuffling and tapping coming form the den. I looked up to see Rosie slowly making her way out, tail in-between her legs due to being nervous. She had marks going down her check from where she had been crying all day. She cautiously padded up to me but stopped about 6ft away. I got off the rock and knelt down coming to her height. She looked amazing! Her Amber eyes which she got from her mother, and her grey and sliver fur which I could only guess she got from her father. The tips of her ears and tail were slightly tawny brown as well as a small part of her flank and legs. She had a good mixture of her mother and father and she looked beautiful.

I looked at her before saying "I'm sorry about your mother Rosie." I said with sympathy in my voice.

"How do you know my name?" she snapped back in a shaky voice with tears still in her eyes.

"I was with her when she died and as you can see I was shot too." I said lifting my shirt to reveal the wound. She looked at me and pulled her head back in disgust. Who could blame her; it was pretty disgusting with the amount of blood coming out.

"Why aren't you dead?" She asked a little confused.

"Your mother, that's why." She took a step towards me and shouted.

"My mom's dead! How could she help you!" She yelled ferociously.

"I know you saw what happened, I was trying to save her from the ranger but ended up getting shot as well." I told her.

"That still doesn't explain it!" She replied angry.

"Listen" I said shuffling a little closer and sitting back onto my heels. She also sat down obviously feeling she could trust me a little more. "I was shot, and died..." I then went though everything that happened from being shot, meeting her mother, talking with her, the prophecy, our powers, the promise I made her, waking up and coming here. She looked at me considering whether or not to believe me. After a few moments she looked at me in the eyes and said

"Ok, if I were to believe you, why did you come here?"

"Your mom made me promise to look after you. I lived my life without any parents or anyone to look after me and I don't want you to suffer as I did. And I need your help." I said. She looked at me tilting her head a little.

"Help with what?"

"The wolf has the power to heal and as you can see I'm bleeding and it won't stop. If you can heal me, it will prove I'm not crazy or dreaming and this really did happen, and this is happening to us." She looked at me to see if I was lying in some way.

"Ok let's try, but If you try anything, I will stop at nothing to rip your throat out. Got it?" she said. I smiled and said.

"You can trust me."

She stood up and cautiously walked up to me and stopped and sat down. I lifted my shirt to reveal the wound; she turned her head away quickly as soon as I did. She took a deep breath and turned back and placed a paw on it. We waited, and waited, and waited, nothing happened. "I knew you were lying!" she shouted still with her paw on my wound.

"I'm not, all this really happened I swear." I said pleading "My mom is dead! I'm just dreaming and none of this really happened! She bellowed starting to tear up.

"Err…Y...Yo…your eyes." I said stuttering in fear and pointing to her eyes.

"What?" She said.

Suddenly there was a rush of pain that shot through my body staring from my side. I wasn't that painful, but enough to make me cry out a little. We both looked at the wound and watched as it slowly drew the blood back inside the wound and seal itself shut not leaving a scratch. She gasped and stood up staring at the wound then at her paw, then back to me, then her paw. "How did I do that?!" She said in shock.

"Well looks like you're mother was right. Thanks" I said in disbelief myself.

"Err, anytime." She replied still staring wide eyed at her paw. I don't know what she did but I felt great!

"You may want to look at your eyes." I said

"Why?" she asked turning back at me. When she did her jaw dropped and she let out a gasp.

"What!" I said feeling my face.

"Your eyes, there glowing green." She said.

"So are yours." I said pointing to them.

She then ran to the left and down towards the valley, I followed her trying to keep up. I found her by the side of a river looking into it. I walked up beside her and looked in as well seeing my reflection. "Whoa." We both said. Our eyes had gone a bright florescent green slowly swirling around our pupils.

"Well, your mother was right I guess." I said not taking my eyes away from my refection.

"I guess" She replied leaning in to get a closer look.. After a few moments, they went back to their normal colour. We sat back down and looked at each other in complete silence.

"I don't know what to say." I said breaking the silence.

"Me neither." She said "Do you trust me now?" I asked hope she does. She looked at me and a smile grew on her face.

"Yeah, why not."

End of Flashback- Rosie's P.O.V

"And from then on we lived together." Scott finishing the story.

"Wow! That's incredible! Dakota exclaimed in awe. Scott and I smiled.

"So that's how you met?" Lupa asked checking.

"Yep that's it. Scott taught me everything I know." I said smiling and leaning against him.

"What kind of things?" Shadow asked curiously.

"Well how to hunt, how to use our powers and about what would happen to me later on in life." I said. "Remember that day?" I asked feeling awkward remembering that day.

"Don't remind me." He said blushing but with a smile.

"What is it?" Lupa asked. I looked at her then back at Scott; I then took a deep breath and said.

"Well, since your grandmother wasn't around, I had no idea what to expect whilst growing up or what to expect when I was pregnant with you two, he told me what would happen, when it would happen and it helped." I finished blushing.

"Ok no need to add anything." Shadow said quickly. He had a point, the kids were present.

"Well be glad he did or else we may not be together or have had kids." I said giving him a quick kiss.

"Now that's something I need to get used to" Scott said. I turned to look at him and saw him making a puking face, Lupa and Dakota began laughing in agreement. I punched him hard on the arm and he fell over on his side, his scar he had on his neck became quite visible catching the attention of Shadow.

"How did you get those scar?" he asked pointing to his neck. He sat up and rubbed his hand on his neck feeling the three long bumps and looked at me.

"You ok?" I nodded as he began to say. "Well Rosie was very depressed for days one week and when I tried to snap her out of it and she lashed out at me. She didn't mean to, I should've left her alone. I keep it as a good reminder to leave people alone and give them time to heal on their own." He said looking at me during the last part.

"I am sorry I did that." I said upset.

"I know." He said rubbing my head. "I did get even though." He said.

"Yeah that's true."

"What do you mean?" Lupa asked.

"Well after I did that, he threw me into a tree and broke my back. Boy it made a loud noise didn't it?" I said.

"Don't remind me." Scott said shuddering. Everyone looked at us amazed that I survived.

"How did you throw her, she's not exactly light. Not that I'm calling you fat mom." Dakota asked looking at me.

"Watch it you." I said joking. "Well remember we're the Starnik, we have powers don't we. Hey wanna show them?" I asked nudging Scott whilst tail wagging.

"Sure why not. Oh lets do what we did when we met the Valley Pack!" Scott said getting up excited. We walked a few metres away from the others and stood side by side. "I'll be a little rusty at this." Scott said.

"Don't worry, so will I." I said giggling "This is our little pose." I said joking. "Ready?" I added looking up at Scott. He just changed his eyes and smiled. I then changed mine and looked back at Shadow and the kids who all sat up. Scott held out his hands slightly palms up, leaves, stones and dirt began rising off the ground all around us. I focused my attention on the wind, causing it to increase forming a light funnel around us. Our eyes began to pulsate and swirl brighter and faster. Shadow watched in awe as well as the kids whose jaws were hanging loosing from their muzzles. The wind ruffled our fur and hair in different directions adding to the fear. Then at the same time we reached our minds into the three and said.

"We are the Starnik, behold our power." Only adding more fear to the three, that trick wasn't new as I did it to them every now and then but with flying rocks, swirling winds and demonic eyes, it was a good effect. They looked around at each other confirming it wasn't any of them who said it.

"That's enough." I said to Scott. He nodded and dropped everything and I just relaxed and the wind came to a very quick stop. We looked at each other after everything had settled. "That felt amazing!" I shouted happily.

"I know, it felt so good to do that again." Scott replied kneeling down to rub my head. After a few seconds, he took it too far and I laughed as I pushed his had off. He knew I was ticklish there, always have been and always will be, we looked at the others, completely frozen in amazement.

"Lupa looks so much like Sarah, same Dakota doesn't." Scott said looking at both of them.

"They're a lot more like me then you think." The kids smiled hearing this.

"What do you mean?" He said confused

"Throw that rock at Lupa." He looked beside him to the huge rock I gestured to.

"Why?" He asked wondering if I was serious.

"Just do it. Ready honey?" I asked looking back at Lupa.

"Ready." She replied keenly.

"Alright." Scott replied unconvinced. He Apexed the rock and brought it closer to him. It was too heavy to throw so he did it this way. "Ready?" He asked checking Lupa was. She nodded in response and with that we waved his hand and hurtled the rock towards her, she barely had time to react, but did just in time. The rock hit the shield she threw up a few centimetres in front her, the rock then fell and broke into several pieces. Scott was speechless, his face said it all. Lupa's eyes remained green as she looked into Scott's blue eyes. "That was incredible!" Was all he said, with his jaw hanging loose from his mouth? "I can't wait to see what you can do?" He said turning to Dakota. He smiled and jumped, vanishing into thin air. Scott looked at the spot where he was only to see his green, transparent jump scar he left behind and piece by piece vanished. He was then tackled to the ground from behind by Dakota, which was his normal trick he'd do quite often, even to Shadow and me. He pinned him down standing on his chest smiling at him.

"Got ya." He said chuckling. Scott then Apexed Dakota up holding him a few metres in the air much to his surprise.

"Two can play at that game. How's your balance?"

"Err, ok I guess." Scott then smiled as Dakota shot up into a tree 20ft up. He laid on a tree branch clinging on for dear life. "Ha, ha very funny. You can get me down now." He yelled from above. We were all laughing as Scott brought him down and few moments later, gently settling him next to his sister. We laughed and joked around sharing stories of the past and telling Scott about what had happened over the time he'd been gone. It was beginning to get dark when there was a loud snap. We all immediately went silent; our ears perked listening for any other sound. Scott knew exactly what was going on, he calmly got up and grabbed his bow before turning to us and yelled...

"RUN!"

So it's official, the Starnik are reunited, and Rosie had a surprise for Scott. It seems that Dakota, Lupa and Shadow have been dragged into something they didn't start, but they're apart of it now. The kids have abilities, so does that make them a target for the Ditori? And Shadow is just a wolf, how will he defend himself?

I will be posting on or two chapters a day, i want to see more reviews here people. I need to know how it's looking so far and what needs improving. I'd like to thank you all for saying how "Prophecy of the Starnik" is one of your favorites, it means a lot to me. Hopefully this one will be just as good or even better. Thanks to Johnwolf234 and The Dark Shadow for reviewing my last chapters. So three questions remain. Will they all get away alive? What has the Ditroi got planned for them again? And will The Dark Shadow review again saying "I love it" like he has in the first and second story?
