Daniel's POV:
"Vic!" I yelled seeing my sister curled in a ball on the floor; a black shadowy ball was letting off a horrible screeching noise next to her ear.
Her screams bounced off the walls, along with the shadows screeching. I snapped my gaze to Gonzales as he towered over a beaten Stephano; a smirk on his lips as he twisted the silver sword that was lodged in Stephano's abdomen, earning a pained expression from the golden man. My eyes darted over to a bright green color; it was forming out of nowhere, surrounding my sister until no one could see her any longer.
"Daniel, what's happening?" Savanna questioned; her hazel eyes glued to the forming green light as it got brighter and brighter by each passing second.
"I don't know…" I whispered, lying right through my teeth.
I knew exactly what was happening to my sister; she was taking her second form. A loud pain filled screech was heard as the light faded away, revealing a large sand colored Wolf; my sister.
"What the hell is this? Are we in the movie Twilight, or the game Amnesia?!" Felix exclaimed, throwing his hands up.
She snapped her powerful jaws around the shadow, shaking it violently, clawing at it, and tearing it to pieces as it screeched in horrible pain.
"H-How did you morph, femme?!" Gonzales took a few steps back, ripping his sword out of Stephano's abdomen, and pointing his blood covered weapon at her; earning a pained grunt from Stephano.
I watched as Vic rose to her paws, clumsily; her piercing green eyes glowed with venom as she stared at the silver being, making him take another step back. The fur along her spine bristled, her tail lashed from one side to another, head held high. I walked over to Stephano's side, very slowly, incase Gonzales would lunge back at him.
"We need to get you somewhere else, where there are bandages," I slipped an arm under the golden man's, my hand pressed against his back as I helped him up.
"You… Lose, again…" Stephano smirked, staring at his brother as blood trickled down the corner of his mouth.
"I'll show you who's losing-" Gonzales took a couple steps towards us, only to back up quickly as Vic stepped forward; a deep, rough bark escaping her maw as she clamped her jaw around his silver pouch, pulling away quickly before the realization hit Gonzales.
"Big Wolf equals awesomeness!" Felix shouted, fist pumping the air and rushing over, taking the silver pouch away from my sister.
Before anyone had noticed, Gonzales slipped into the shadows, leaving us to put more pieces to the orb in the silver pouch.
Stephano leaned against the wall, clutching his bleeding wound. I looked over towards my sister and bend down slightly, to her eye level; her ears perked up as her tail wagged slowly.
"Please, tell me you can change back," I sighed in relief as she nodded, taking a few steps back.
I watched as the same green light surrounded her, like before, engulfing her to the point that no one could see her as the light got brighter. The green light faded away, revealing an extremely dizzy Vic.
"Never again…" Vic groaned, clutching her head.
"I don't know about that, Stephano is wounded… So…" I laughed as she glared at me.
"H-How did you do that?" We both snapped our attention to a confused Savanna; making me look at everyone, and back to my sister.
"Your girlfriend, you explain," Vic shot her hands up in a surrendering motion.
"Actually, I think everyone needs an explanation!" Felix exclaimed, throwing his hands up once more, glaring at me and Vic, before continuing on, "If we're going to be here any longer, I want to know how she did… That… Wolf thingy!"
I winced as Savanna turned to me with hurt eyes.
"I thought we wouldn't keep any secrets from each other…" She took her eyes off me, staring at Vic now, "I guess I was wrong…"
"Savanna, please, I-" Vic interrupted me, stumbling over to Stephano.
"We need to get him patched up; I can smell his blood from a mile away. When we find a safe room, then I'll explain everything," Vic sighed the last part, allowing Stephano to lean on her as our search for a safe room and bandages begun.
…
"Femme, that hurts!" Stephano flinched as Vic placed her hands on his bleeding wound, applying pressure.
"I'm sorry! Just—stop moving!" She hissed, wincing every time she caused the golden man pain.
I just sat in green chair that was next to the door, watching the amusing scene; waiting on Felix to finish using the restroom so we could go hunt for bandages. Stephano lay on his back, resting on an old bed, while Vic sat on her knees next to him; applying pressure to his wound, so it wouldn't bleed as much.
"I'll go with Felix to search for some bandages, just keep pressure on his wound," I spoke up; getting a nod from my sister, and a grunt from Stephano.
"I want to come with you, just in case you need another hand," Savanna stood up from the white couch, stretching her arms above her head; getting a nod from me.
"Alright bros, I'm ready for this. Let's go search for bandages," Felix jumped out of the bathroom, hitting his elbow against the door frame, "Shit! That fucking hurts!"
"PewDie, you pussy…" Stephano grunted, earning a laugh from my sister.
"I've been dying for you to say that!" Vic laughed, shaking her head as Felix made a whining noise.
"Stephano, I could have really hurt myself!" Felix exclaimed, flipping Stephano off.
Everyone laughed, except an un-amused Felix; making us laugh harder as he crossed his arms, putting on a pouty face. I shook my head, standing up and taking Savanna's hand as she approached me. Felix stormed out of the room, laughing as soon as he exited.
"Just scream, if anything," I nodded at the two remaining forms that lay on the bed.
Vic nodded back, wincing as Stephano cursed in French again.
"I'll handle him, don't worry," Vic shook her head, looking down at the golden being.
I nodded once more, before exiting the room after Savanna; hearing Stephano's next words, I smirked wildly.
"You can handle me anytime…" He growled, causing my sister to laugh.
Vic's POV:
I laughed hard, finding it extremely challenging to breath.
"You better hope Daniel didn't hear that," I giggled, finally catching my breath.
"I'm so scared now…" Stephano rolled his orangish gold eyes, the tone of sarcastic dripping from his words.
I laughed again, shifting around so my legs hung off the bed; looking back down at Stephano, only to see a confused expression mask his features.
"How did you morph, earlier?" He questioned, tilting his head slightly.
"Morph?" I raised a brow, not quite understanding his question.
"You were a Wolf, no?" Stephano flinched as I leaned towards him; my hands still on his wound.
"It's a very long story…" I dropped my gaze; heart tightening with the memories that came flooding back.
"As you can see, I'm not going anywhere," Stephano offered me a gentle smile, making me chuckle; giving in.
"A few years back, my best friend and I found a crystal necklace. Well, it turns out that the crystal held a special power: turning an average human into a Wolf. A couple days later, we were kidnapped by two men and a women; Zak, Logan, and Shasta. Zak was the dominant one, explaining to us what power the crystal held. He agreed to train me and my friend, taking me on as his apprentice; Shasta taking Robby on as her own apprentice," I stopped to catch my breath, before continuing on, "Later on, Chastity showed up in our lives; becoming our extremely close friend. Being the close friend that she was, we told her about our late night training sessions. She wanted to learn also, so Logan took her on as his apprentice. A year later, Robby, Chastity, and I came across a cave that we were forbidden to go in. Of course, we disobeyed Zak's orders… Chastity died in those caves…" I took in a shaky breath, turning away from Stephano; screams rang in my ear; Chastity's screams.
"You don't have to continue…" He grunted in pain, sitting up, bringing me closer, and rubbing my back in a comforting way.
"Robby loved her. After the incident, Robby and I drifted apart; our friendship fell apart slowly… He blames me for Chastity's death. Two years had passed since her death… One day, Robby took me out with him on a patrol around the town. We encountered two Wolves, with red eyes, attacking them. Little did I know is that, that scene was planned. After we ran those Wolves off, Robby attacked me… We fought with fangs and claws… I left a scar across his muzzle, before he ran off into the darkest part of the forest. I was left alone… My best friend had betrayed me, stabbed me in the back… Robby still remains with Akita's pack, tormenting the town," I finished, leaning into Stephano for comfort.
"I'm very sorry for your loss," He said quietly, continuing to rub my back in tiny circles.
"You're the first person that I've become attached to after I buried the crystal, throwing that cruel life away," I closed my eyes, now noticing his natural scent; my senses must've heightened after I turned.
"What about Zak and the others?" He questioned, resting his chin on the top of my head.
"Akita killed them off, slowly… One after another…" I breathed shakily, not used to telling about my pained past.
"You buried the power source?" Stephano questioned; confusion evident in his tone.
"If you mean the crystal, yes I buried it where no one could find it, why?" I pulled away, giving him a puzzled look.
"What about your town? Isn't it being attacked by those…? Wolves?" He looked down at me with a raised brow.
"Yes, they are still attacking," I started, dropping my gaze to the floor, "I don't want to be hurt anymore… I straight out, lied to my parents about the bruises and scratches I'd come home with…"
"Your parents didn't know?" Stephano blinked a couple times, taking in the new information.
"They couldn't have known. The less people knew, that were close to me, the better. They would've instantly become a target for Akita's pack to attack or kill," I finished, finally done with telling about the story that brought pain.
"Is there no God?!" Felix screamed, falling face first; bursting in the room, supplies flying everywhere.
Stephano and I watched as Daniel and Savanna came rushing in, slamming the door behind them.
"Felix, shut up!" Daniel hissed, turning all the lights off.
"We encountered a monster-" Savanna started, soon interrupted rudely by Felix.
"There called Bros. They have the sexiest ass…" He chuckled, making everyone whisper yell or growl at him.
"PewDie, you idiot…" Stephano face-palmed, making Felix whine.
"Be quiet!" I growled at Felix, shooting up to my feet; literally growling like a dog.
As everyone became silent, the sound became clearer for my ears to hear a monster down the hall; a couple of doors away from our room. Eeyup… My senses definitely heightened after I turned, I thought with a smirk. As the growls and grunts of frustration grew quieter, I sat back on the bed with a sigh of my relief; making everybody relax.
"Is he gone?" Daniel asked, looking at me for permission to move.
"Yes, he's wandering farther away from our room as I speak," I narrowed my eyes slightly, listening as the monster's feet pounded farther and farther away from our room.
"Good – We gathered some supply for Stephano's wound, here," Daniel tossed some bandages and cotton balls.
"I'll fix him up. No, I want to do it!" Felix pouted as I fended him off, laying all the supply between Stephano and me.
"I don't trust you with sharp objects," Stephano pointed at Felix, an annoyed look on his face.
I rolled my eyes as their bickering continued; thankful that Daniel turned the lights back on. Organizing the supply that was lying on the bed, I picked out a bottle of alcohol and some cotton balls; pouring the liquid on a cotton ball, I pointed at Stephano with a semi-smirk.
"Loose the tunic, shirt… Thingy…" I couldn't help but laugh as he smirked widely, sliding out of the shirt wear and setting it down beside him.
"Bros, I think they're getting it on!" Felix laughed, crawling next to the bedside and resting his chin on it, making one of his weird faces.
"Nous pouvons mettre sur un spectacle, pour eux, bien sûr..." Stephano shrugged, smirking at Felix.
"What did he say about me?!" Felix jumped to his feet, nearly falling back on a blood stain that covered the hardwood floor.
"He didn't say anything about you," I laughed softly, shaking my head as I dabbed his wound with the alcohol covered cotton ball.
We can put on a show, for them of course… I laughed more, my thoughts repeating his foreign words.
"What did he say?!" Felix whined, making Stephano push his face away; causing him to fall on his side.
After all the laughter had escaped my system, I focused on cleaning Stephano's wound; wincing as he growled or flinched, I continued to dab the alcohol covered cotton balls against his open wound, cleaning off all the blood.
"I'm sorry, if I don't clean it, it'll get infected," I apologized, smiling at him softly; causing him to smirk.
"It does not pain me," Stephano growled as I dabbed the wound one last time.
"Pfft… Yeah, right!" Daniel smirked, throwing an arm around a dazed Savanna.
I tossed the blood covered cotton balls away, getting a sewing needle and a piece of thread. Giving Stephano another soft smile, I scooted closer.
"I need to stitch it up, you can't fight with an open wound," I put the thread through the needle's hole, slowly bringing the sewing needle to his agitated wound.
"I've had worse," Stephano chuckled, shaking his head.
I nodded at him with a bright smile, looking back down and poking the needle through his skin. After about half an hour, his wound was stitched neatly, cleaned again, and covered in bandages.
"You're resting for the rest of the day. Am I understood?" I raised a brow, finishing with wrapping the gauze around his body.
"Yes, mother," Stephano huffed, wincing as he allowed his body to lay back.
I shook my head with a small smile, sighing as he shifted around a couple times before settling down. I sat beside him, staring off into space; my mind blank for the first time since we've been here.
"So, entertain me, how'd you turn into a Wolf?" Felix questioned from the floor, snapping me out of my empty trance.
After retelling the story once more, Savanna and I locked eyes; her gaze held confusion.
"No one was allowed to know, Savannah," I directed the statement towards her, seeing the distance between her and Daniel, "Not even our parents knew. Daniel was the only one I had told-"
"He lied to me," She interrupted me, her tone holding pain and fierceness, "That hurts, do you know what it feels like to have someone that you love lie to you? To hurt you?" She was screaming now.
"Of course I know what it feels like to be hurt!" I growled lowly, my temper beginning to burn like a forest fire, "I've been betrayed, lied to, and hurt! I've gained and lost friends in ways you will never know of!" I shot to my feet, feeling my anger towards the strawberry blonde rise even higher as she continued on.
"Get over it! It's been three years since you lost Robby!" She screamed, pointing at me; Felix backed away, as did Daniel, "If I were you, the town wouldn't be suffering… I wouldn't run and hide like a coward! I'd fight!"
"Because you know so much, right?! I didn't hide, I tried fighting… I almost lost my life… Fighting against the Wolf that I once called a friend!" I yelled back, only to have Stephano grab my wrist.
"Savanna, please-" Daniel stopped dead, being slapped across the face by his girlfriend.
"How could you?!" She yelled, tears streaming down her face as she backed away from him, "I trusted you, told you everything, only to have you keep secrets!"
Everyone fell silent, my anger melting away slowly as I sat back down; beside Stephano. Savanna sat in a corner of the room, her glare was sharp as daggers, as she stared at Daniel. Daniel only blinked at her, sighed, and looked away; his expression holding that of a broken heart.
"I cannot just sit around here all day," Stephano growled swinging legs off the bed, "We are continuing, gather your supply."
I shook my head, knowing I'd be wasting my breath if I attempted to argue with him. Staying by his side closely, I kept listening for any sign of danger.
"Guys, I remember finding a piece in this exact room. I remember because, this door knob is black, apart from all the others," Felix smirked, entering the room.
Everyone entered the dark room; something smelled familiar, very familiar. I took a big sniff of the dust filled oxygen, fear filling my body as I realized what I was smelling; who I was smelling.
"Get out, now!" I yowled, twisting around towards the door, "It's a trap!"
Before anyone could take a step, the door slammed, lights flickered on, and two forms stood in the middle of the room; Barrel and Gonzales.
"How nice of you to join us…" Barrel clasped his hands together, a large smirk appearing on his lips.
"Not by choice…" I hissed, glaring at the two; eyes searching for a way to escape this room.
"There is no way out, silly femme," Gonzales growled, keeping his distance, "Now, hand over the orb pieces, and we'll think about sparing your lives…"
I watched with a blank expression as Knights came rushing in from a door on the opposite side of the room.
"I fucking hate you, Barrel!" Felix exclaimed, venom coating his words, "You too, Untrusted!"
"Ah, yes… My least favorite person in this room…" Barrel snarled, snapping his fingers.
We all shouted or screamed as two Knights tore Felix away from the group. Daniel grabbed Felix's arms, pulling him back in our safe circle; making both Knights stumble back.
"We shall do this the hard way then," Barrel snapped his fingers once more.
