Chapter 4

Siera's POV

When Dawn crashed through the door, I was so shocked I couldn't think for a minute.

Then I screamed "Get Ziara and Dawn away from me! Get them out!" The oldest girl told someone to get Ziara and Dawn and then she grabbed me. Outside, she and her group spread their wings and flew away carrying us.

We landed in a cave soon and the girl, Max I think someone called her, asked me "What did you do to Ziara and Dawn? Why did she turn into a cat?"

"I don't know a lot. I think the whitecoats did something to us so when we see each other something happens and they turn into a cat or a bird depending on who is in control at the time."

She thought about it and then said "So when do they turn back?"

"Honestly, I'm not sure," I groaned as Night tried to take over. "Night, my other soul, is trying to take over. She might not like you very much. Don't hurt her because you hurt me too. She's very temperamental. She's 90% wolf, 5% human, 2% bird, and 3% cat."

"Night! Don't ahhhhh... do this!"

"Why not, Siera?"

"Now is not a good time for this!" and then it happened. I fought for control, but I had been in control for a long time and Night wanted to be free.

"NIGHT!"

Night's POV

I felt Siera lose control and stretched slowly, feeling every muscle in my body. I heard something, crouched and let a growl slip out. There were 6 avian hybrids standing there.

"Siera?" one of their pack asked me. I let out a low growl at hearing her name. "We won't hurt you. I promise," I forgot what I was doing for a minute and just stood there. Then I remembered and sank into a crouch. Mindreader. I put up barriers and was satisfied when her eyes widened. I tried to run as I felt Siera rising up but was stopped. I snarled, not wanting to show weakness in front of another pack. Inside, I was terrified. When we switch, it's a really bad time to be in danger since we're so vulnerable. I howled, hoping there was a pack nearby. A pack nearby? Where did that come from? I had an idea and focused on changing forms to be mostly human, minus the wings, ears, tail, etc. A minute later, I was human.

"Hey guys, sorry about that. When Siera and I switch, I lose control to the part of me that's wolf."

"Ok. So should we keep moving?" Max asked.

"Yes. They'll come after us and Dawn will be weak from taking control because she's not usually in control. We have to get as far away as possible."

Soon we were flying and Dawn was waking up.

"Dawn, can you let Ziara take control now because we're flying and you can't fly," I told her, catching her up on everything that happened.

"Why can't you and I land and run?" She suggested.

"Good idea, Dawn. Hey, Max! Can Dawn and I run? We'll keep up I promise," I called to her.

"Ok. Stay close and Night, fly every so often to update us," She agreed.

"Will do!" I yelled and dived. Dawn yowled in fear and her claws dug into me. I hissed in pain and landed. I looked up and saw the flock waiting for us. "So Dawn, want to race?" I taunted her.

"Oh, you're so on." She shot back as her tail grew longer and her eyes turned amber as the cat instincts became more prominent. Without another word I howled to tell the flock to go and shot away in my wolf form. Behind me Dawn took off running and soon caught up. My ears swiveled, taking in sounds and analyzing them. I slammed to a halt as I heard a girl scream.

This is another chapter that will be getting a major rewrite. To me, Max seems a little OOC.
