Sapphire and Deucalion were walking around in the woods and she was then looking around confused. "Hmm…What kind of woods is this anyway…?"
"It's where most Darachs/Dark-Darachs live. Triskele Werewolves also live around them to protect them from Mutant Wolves or Kanima Wolves that migrate here."
"Hmm…That place where you hid at…I've been there before…"
"Really?"
She nodded and snarls low. "When I went on that trip for this biology project during Senior year, we visited here." He nodded. "That trip was kinda amazing when I went for the first time and I took notes."
"Yeah, you can learn a lot by visiting here…But you gotta be vigilant. Even though these wolves are peaceful, the smallest things provoke them and they can attack. Triskele Werewolves are territorial as well."
"I've heard." He nodded and she did the same back. "Okay…Let's see…" She then looked around and he did the same. "Deucalion? When Shadow wakes up, will you try to explain things to him?"
He nodded. "And like you said, if he doesn't believe me, just keep going 'till I get to him."
"That goes for the rest of the wolves also."
"Right."
She nodded. "Are you ready to head back to the castle?"
"Yes." She nodded and stood on her hind legs and grabs his hand and teleported. Back at the castle, SPW1 was with Lycan, Ayako and Arctic on the couch quiet. SPW1 exhaled. "How'd this happen…?"
Lycan's ears fell back ."I don't know…" Arctic and Ayako then formed tears as they fell and whimpers softly. Lycan then comforts him. "It'll be okay Glace…" SPW1 then pets Ayako and Sapphire reappears in Deucalion's room and looks at him. "Get dressed. Streakin' at midnight." She then walked out and closed the door, he then puts his clothes back on and slowly walked out and looked around and walked downstairs, Sapphire then walks in her room and closed the door. Ayako's ears perked and looks up a little and Lycan, SPW1 and Arctic saw him as well.
"Father?!" He then ran up to him.
He inhaled. "I have a confession…"
"Huh?" SPW1 asked. Sapphire then walked downstairs on all four in her normal clothes and walks up to his side and stood on her hind legs and nods. "…I was that one who killed Shadow that night…" their eyes then narrowed. "I know I should have told you sooner, but I couldn't. I snapped and killed him and when I snapped back, I just couldn't come clean at the moment."
Everyone stayed quiet. "He didn't mean to."
SPW1's eyes narrowed and snapped. "IF HE DIDN'T, THEN WHY IN THE HELL DID HE DO THAT?!"
Sapphire then gets on all four and snarls deep in defense. "He DIDN'T alright? IT WAS INSTINCT GOD DAMN IT! Shadow's HIS son, he NEVER meant to kill him in the first place. DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER! Deucalion loves Shadow and he NEVER in his life thought about killing him just because he's a Twilight Alphaline Werewolf! Shadow probably couldn't control himself that night, but Deucalion snapped randomly and killed him. Now don't come at him like that!!" She then raised her mane fur and bared her fangs as her eyes turned dark gold and snarls deep still. Now they were all quiet. "Deucalion's the most respected wolf in the castle and he NEVER thought of killing his own family for the fun of it. He's NOT Dragomir, he's NOT soulless, he's Deucalion." She then nudged him and he pets her.
"You have to believe me, I'd never do that to any of you and I never thought I'd actually crossed the line with Shadow." SPW1 formed tears and hugs him and her ears fell back. "I~I'm Sorry! I didn't know…!" Ayako then jumps on his head and nudged him while crying. Lycan then hugs him as well. "I'm sorry too, I should've come clean…" Sapphire then hugs them and they were quiet, Arctic then nudged them. Sapphire then lets them go. "Okay, let him rest for tonight you all okay?" They nodded and SPW1, Ayako and Lycan walks off and Arctic hops on his shoulder, Sapphire then looks at him. Arctic nudged him.
"I missed you…" Deucalion then pets him and she did the same. "I told you I'd get him back." He then nudged her hand and she pets him more. "It'll be okay…Come on, let's visit Shadow. Probably Cres and Lucas are still in the room." She then ran off upstairs fast and Deucalion followed.
