Kim collapsed onto a nearby bench, rubbing her working eye tiredly. Toby dropped down next to her, grunting slightly as he landed. The pair of hunters had gotten very little sleep that night, as well as none the night before, and had spent the last 12 hours on the look out for something that could cause high energy levels.

"We've walked around the area over ten times and searched every possible hiding place!" Kim growled in aggravation, "How have we still not found it?"

"I have no idea." Toby sighed in equal annoyance.

The steadily climbing sun irritated the duo's eyes, making them squint against the harsh glare. Toby sighed. "We're right around the corner from Rocky and CeCe's place, might as well see if they're up and about, eh?" Kim was about to reply when a slamming of a car door, arguing and swearing from close by caught their attention.

"ROCKY!" A familiar voice screamed. Toby and Kim sprinted around the corner to investigate, immediately worried at the voice's tone.


CeCe stared blankly as the car sped away, a heartbreakingly sad face looked back at her. She closed her eyes to hide the face from view. The image was burned into memory, she still saw it no matter how much she wished it were gone.

The red headed girl was vaguely aware of two people running up to her and stand in a few feet in front of her but she just couldn't bring herself to care.

Rocky was being taken away. Sent to a place that can help her, Mr and Mrs Blue claimed when CeCe had come to check on Rocky, who had gone home for a change of clothes.

She had tried desperately to change their minds. She begged, plead and shouted but their minds were set. Rocky would leave. She would be stuck there for months upon months. All because of those stupid nightmares.

Anger rose in CeCe. A truly hateful anger that the red head had never felt before.

Anger at her Rocky being taken away from her. At Rocky's parents for sending her away. At that bastard Damien for causing all of this, for even thinking he could take Rocky away from her . . . She felt angry at the fact Damien had succeeded in taking Rocky away from her. In a way, he had separated them.

That really pissed CeCe off.

CeCe snarled viciously. Her fists clenched and eyes burned.

She felt the anger rise viciously within her. Her body begin to heat up, pins and needles traversed across her arms she felt a tremor beneath her feet.

Deep inside of her mind, she felt something snap.

A rush of energy rushed through her veins.

A memory of a voice whispered softly in her head.

A darkness, a power, the essence of life. Be prepared, child.


Kim and Toby stared in pure shock, the earth around them shook violently and the air crackled with electricity. People in the vicinity were panicking, ducking under tables and doorways to avoid any debris that may drop down. The temperature rose suddenly and car alarms began to go off left, right and centre.

CeCe herself was a fearsome sight. Her lips were curled back in a snarl. Her fiery locks were messy, contributing to the animalistic appearance she currently sported, and sparks of electricity flew from her form.

The scanner in Kim's hand began to began to wail loudly, contributing to the current mayhem. The screen had confirmed a target, a humanoid figure not 3 feet away from their current location.

Both Toby and Kim gasped as CeCe opened her eyes. Various coloured rings, where brown irises would normally be found, glowed. A white pentacle could be seen in each pupil.

It wasn't feasible for CeCe, a human, to have those eyes. It was . . . "I-Impossible" Toby whispered.

They had seen those eyes on only two other people, once on a formerly cherished friend and once on a formidable and deadly foe. They knew first hand that those eyes were dangerous, incredibly dangerously. And powerful.

Kim turned to face Toby, pointing a finger wildly in CeCe's direction, and shouted. "I bloody knew it!"


Meanwhile, deep in an ancient forest, silver eyes flew open.

An old spell that made been made over a decade ago had finally broken. A faint smile played across her lips.

The pale woman rose, ending her meditation session, and stretched her limbs. A soft breeze blew her silver-grey hair gently.

A young, male wolf padded up beside her and sat on his haunches. The wolf was covered head to tail in ash grey fur, except his chest which was pure black in colour. Brilliant sky blue eyes stared up at the woman. A pale hand reached down and caressed the wolf's head. "Ohayou, Hok'ee." the woman greeted. The wolf, Hok'ee, yapped and wagged his tail in delight.

A weight appeared on the woman's shoulder, razor sharp claws pressed lightly against the thin clothing she was wearing. She peered to the side and saw a wise looking barn owl gazing expectantly at her. "Owug." she acknowledged, the small smile on her face growing fractionally larger. The owl nipped her ear gently in response and hooted quietely.

"It seems we shall be making quite the trip, my friends. We must prepare immediately."
