Once Lita had gotten her weapons, she realized she had no clue where the battle was taking place. As if on cue Raye said, /Back yard./ Lita was ready to fight after three weeks of, 'you can't do that...' and 'you need to rest...' Lita burst out into the back yard, just in time to see a guy fling Raye across the yard. Raye came to a stop at Lita's feet, "Raye was that just Darell?" Lita asked as she looked at the guy again, more closely.

Raye nodded, "They have issued a claim on you, they won't stop until they have you."

Lita shook her head, "Why me?" A hand came to rest on her shoulder, but it wasn't comforting like one of the pack's but it was cold and strong like a long lost enemy.

~~~FLASHBACK~~~

"Lita, stand up and fight!" a cold female voice roared in the darkness.

It was dusk and dark as coming fast. Lita struggled to her feet and in wolf form she crouched, ready for another attack. The older woman leaped, taking down Lita successfully. Lita bit the woman's arm where she undoubtedly would leave a scar. The older woman yelped in pain and struck Lita, who had turned back into human form in her state of weakness.

"I will not let you take me." Lita ground out, even after hours of punishment and 'sessions' Lita would not just stand there as she let the older woman dominate.

"You won't let me but I will." the woman sneered. Lita rolled her eyes and tried to stand up.

"I will dominate you or my name will no longer be Queen Ruby."

Lita started at this, "You are the Queen of nothing save dirt!" Lita roared.

Ruby stepped forward, jerking Lita up by her hair, "You, my little wretch, are going to pay." Ruby ground out through cleched teeth. Ruby then placed a hand on Lita's shoulder and blasted her through the wall where she lay unconsicious in the next room.



~~~END FLASHBACK~~~

Lita spun away coming face to face with Darell, "You are just who I wanted to see. And you will be mine before this night is over." he smiled evilly.

Lita unsheathed her sword, "Would you prefer weapons or wolves? You need to back up that faulty claim you just issued." Lita said calm and evenly. She had tried hard never to let her past get the better of her and right now she was failing.

"Weapons."

Lita raised her sword and everyone fell silent, watching the girl that was wanted and the wanter of the girl prepare to fight. Lita then lashed out trying to catch Darell off guard.

"You are very predictable." he tsked at her.

Lita glowered, "Well then let's see what you have?" she taunted and as she had with Kyle, trying to get him to let himself be consumed by the rage that would undoubtedly build inside him.

"Come now, please let us begin. I mean I am sure Ruby would want you back as her personal bitch so she could have her real fighters come and claim me. You are nothing more than a warning, I mean anyone in their right mind would know that you aren't here to claim me, you never could." Lita taunted. Darell had begun to shake in fury.

"And since we have not started no one can help us, we will fight this battle alone." Lita said calmly. Darell nodded. That was all he could do as he tried to regain control over his emtions and body.

Lita raised her sword, "And you may change at any given time."

"Stop with the damn terms and just fight!" Darell roared as he lunged. Lita dodged trying to block his blow but his sword hit his intended target her left arm. Her old wound reopened in horrible pain. She just looked at Darell with hatred filling her eyes, "It took me a while to close that up and now I am going to have to do it all over again!"

Lita raised her sword with grace that entranced her enemy. Darell had heard of Lita's legendary grace, she was known to attack at the least expecting times and wouldn't stop until her opponent had reached it's downfall. Darell stepped back an unconscious step. Lita looked into Darell's eyes, seeing the inner turmoil. She could see amazement in his eyes as he watched her every movement, then they became thoughtful as he was no doubt remembering something that he had heard, they then became fearful. Darell retreated again.

"What? Please tell me you aren't afraid of a girl." Lita taunted.

"My orders were to just take you back, not harm you in any way." Darell said, regaining his composure.

"Well you have already failed that mission." Lita's arm was still bleeding badly and she knew that she didn't have very long before she fell to her knees in front of her enemy. Lita clearly heard Darell gulp as he took in the sight of her arm.

"Leave and Ruby needn't know that you were ever here." Lita persuaded. Darell nodded and with a snap him and his minions were gone. Lita sunk to her knees, but with a stern look she gathered herself and stood before the others. Raye was the first to her side. Raye slung one of Lita's arms across her shoulders and began to help her only family to the house. Lita's feet began to drag and then she realized how much of her weight Raye was supporting. Lita tried to straighten but she didn't have enough energy to do so.

"Li, you have lost a lot of blood and still are losing it. I need you to save your strength." Lita nodded unable to form words with her mouth. Nathan came up from behind and swept Lita into his arms. Raye glared but allowed the male to carry Lita to his rooms. Lita had lost to much blood in the last predicaments. The fight for rank of strength and this battle, Raye wasn't sure if her only family would be there to say hello to the pack tomorrow. Lita perked up when she heard one lonely howl on the horribly lonely air. Another voice joined in the lonely song. Lita felt strength rush into her. Demon was howling to the moon, waiting for what would be his answer. Lita heard another howl but closer to them, Kyle was answering Demon's howl with one filled with pain and uncertainty. Lita shivered at the emotions displayed in that one song. Nathan tightened his grip on her. Lita began to get cold.

"W...Why is it s...s...so c...c...cold in here?" Lita shivered again.

Raye spun around quickly, "We don't have time to make it to the bedroom, put her down right there. I need to work on her now."

Kyle and the others filed in, "Zack go get me the emerald green box with doctor supplies. Kyle I need you to get blankets and towels. Amara I need you to go get hot water, a rag, and cleansing fluids. Jade I need you to get cold water in a glass, bring a pitcher with you. And bring crackers. GO! MOVE! NOW!" Raye thundered.

Nathan sat there waiting for an order. "Nathan postion yourself where her head is in your lap." Nathan did as he was told and stroked Lita's face. She was shivering and sweating. She looked terribly uncomfortable.

Lita's eyes opened quickly, "I will....be fine I just need to sit up." Lita tried to sit up but Nathan wouldn't allow that.

"Darling I need you to concentrate on my voice, you are not going to sit up you are going to lay still and not talk. Do you understand?" Lita looked at him with hurt that showed she had understood and that the horrible pain she was feeling. Everyone came back at once, it was quite ironic but no one had time to notice as they were to busy trying to save the pack member that held a small portion of each of their hearts. Raye snatched the box and told Zack to clean the knife and a needle. Raye took the towels and applied pressure to the wound until the bleeding had stopped and then snatched the bowl and rag and began to clean the caked blood that had formed on her arm. Raye then took the knife and began to cut away infection as the others had seen Lita do before.

"Nathan keep her talking through thoughts, she can't fall asleep or she is a lost cause."

Nathan obeyed, /Lita honey who was that guy?/

Lita paused trying to breathe normally, /Darell. He was Ruby's side kick./

Nathan paused at the name Ruby, /Darling who is Ruby?/

Lita then shuddered, /Ruby was the alpha of my last pack, she and Darell had many great nights torturing me together./ Lita winced slightly as Raye began dabbing cleaning solutions on her arm. Raye then stitched the wound with out a problem. Lita violently shivered, "Raye, Demon. Where is Demon?"

"I thought I told you not to talk!" Raye snapped visciously.

Kyle's eyes hardened, "She is wounded and you are yelling at her...." Kyle's accusation ran off from the look he was recieving from Raye,

"Yes, I finally see the family resemblence." Jade muttered.

Raye eyes brightened, "Yes! That's it!" Raye then sliced her wrist.

"What, this is no time for suicide doctor!" Jade almost screamed. Raye raised an eyebrow, "Relax and watch." Raye held her wrist to Lita's mouth and like a leech Lita's mouth sought the blood. Lita then began slurping the blood like pasta.

"Is there any need for this? Are you guys blood suckers?" Amara asked, looking like she would vomit everything she had consumed for the past three days.

"We are family and she needs blood, a lot more than I can give her but this will have to do." Raye mumbled, she wrenched her wrist from Lita's mouth, wiping off the excess blood on a rag. Lita's color had returned a little but she was still really pale.

"Can't we take her to the hospital?" Zack asked worriedly.

"And how pray tell are you going to answer when the ask how this happened? 'Oh nothing to worry about doctor a werewolf came and she challenged him to a match and they were using swords.'" Raye mocked.

"Raye, watch your tone." Lita mumbled. Lita then began to pick herself up off the floor, Nathan tried to stop her but the look in her eyes held him back. Lita then was consumed in a fit of coughing as she leaned aganist a wall for support.

"Lita Marie! I thought I told you not to talk let alone stand!" Raye bellowed. Lita straightened.

Lita shook her head, "There is nothing wrong with me other than I lost a little blood."

Raye seethed, "Lita you won't live to see tomorrow if you do not obey me."

Lita shook her head, "Fine only this once." Lita agreed and sunk to her knees, "But I WILL get Darell and Ruby if it is the last thing I do." Nathan wrapped a blanket around her shoulders and lifted her into his arms.

"But right now you are going to sleep." Nathan said as he wrapped the blanket around her tighter and carried her to his room. Nathan laid Lita down gently onto his king sized bed. Lita curled into the blankets reveling in it's masculinity.

Raye was watching her closely, "I think Lita is right she has nothing wrong with her other than she lost a little blood."

Jade looked appalled, "And that 'loss of blood' can kill her ya know?"

Raye waved a dismissive hand, "If I remember correctly, the elders of our old pack talked about the Demon Warrior. Do any of you know what or who that is?"

Kyle thought a moment, he then flipped open his cell phone, and dialed a number with sureness. "Ami? Yes, I need you to come to my house. We will be in Nathan's rooms, I trust that you know where they are. Good. See you in five." he then promptly hung up.

Nathan looked at Lita, it looked like she had passed out and she was having a horrible nightmare. "Lila! Lila! Lila, I never wanted anything to happen like that." was Lita's chant as she struggled against her demons that reined inside her mind.

Nathan gently shook her awake just as Ami walked in. Everyone turned to Ami, "Ami, it's wonderful that you have decided to join us although I wish it were under better circumstances." Zack said as he smiled warmly.

"Is there anything you need from me?" Ami asked as she took in the frightened and exhausted faces of her fellow pack members.

Kyle nodded, "Can you tell us of the Demon Warrior?"

Ami looked up in surprise, "The Demon Warrior is supposed to be the strongest werewolf that ever walked the earth. It is said that the Demon Warrior was created in the fiery depths of hell by the Devil himself. The Demon Warrior wields the powers of all the elements of the earth."

"Like what?" Jade asked as Raye rolled her eyes.

"Fire, Lightning, Air, Love, Destruction and so on." Jade nodded at Raye's explanation and he looked at Lita who was looking at them with a tired expression.

But Ami wasn't finished, "It is also said that once the Demon Warrior has found her soul mate the Demon Warrior will regain her full power. Her soulmate's power will also rise and together they will keep each other in balance. It is said that they mates will be exact opposites yet exactly the same."

Lita looked at Ami, "It is said that only if the Demon Warrior allows herself to be consumed by the power that it will destroy her. Meaning that if she allows the power take over her ability to think and act will she bring the downfall. The Demon Warrior and her mate as well as her pack will become immortal so that they might together protect the earth from devestation."

Ami smiled and nodded, "The reason why the werewovles and vampires don't get along is that the Demon Warrior is a werewolf that can either help them or destroy them. This hatred comes from fear of any werewolf that could be the Demon Warrior and with a flick of his or her wrist they would be dead or worse."

Amara looked up, "So it's just centuries of bred in fear in the vampires?" Lita and Ami nodded.

"Do you think anyone we know could be the Demon Warrior?" Kyle asked looking at each person in turn.

Lita shook her head, "I really don't know and I don't think I will ever want to know." Lita shrugged her shoulders, "I will think about that when the time comes right now I have other things to deal with alone." Lita stood up but Raye pushed her down in the chair,

"Lita, I was in that pack too. I know what the people did to you even if the others don't. You will not do this alone because I am here and I am never going to leave you again. WE are going to get through this together, maybe even with the help of the others. Lita we need to open up or history will repeat itself over again and again. Do you want to be known as too weak to ask for help? Lita, let one of us help you... or maybe all of us." Raye said softly gently stroking Lita's hair.

Lita sat rigid and silent for many minutes, then she opened her mouth and whispered, "So guys what are we going to do about this problem?" It took everything that Lita had to say those words. Everyone knew she was asking for help even if she wasn't saying it directly out loud.

Raye sighed a great sigh of relief, "We will wait until they come back, until then me and you will train!" Lita nodded her head.

Lita stood up, "Well what are we waiting for?"

"You are the most insufferble woman I know. Before you can go you have to eat crackers and drink water." Raye sighed. Lita silently obeyed, eating all of the crackers in sight like she was starving and drinking the water like she was a fish out of water.

Lita shrugged her shoulders, "I wish Lila was here," Lita whispered, "Then I wouldn't feel so alone."

"Lita Kino! You are not alone! Look at us here! Are we statues?" Raye seethed.

"You guys are the world to me and don't think otherwise but, Raye, if you have a sister, wouldn't you want her to come back? I mean I always thought about Lila but now with this family that got through everything and are still together, it hurts knowing I have a sister out there who I really don't know."

Nathan was looking at Lita when he whispered, "I know a Lila." Lita's head snapped in his direction, but she shook her head sadly,

"There isn't a high chance that she will be my sister. I will be out back." With that said Lita walked outside.

Raye glanced at Nathan, "Any resemblence?"

"Twins." Amara said.

"Call her. The one thing she needs now is family. And everyone knows I have done a great job."

Kyle again flipped open his cell phone, "Hello? Is this Lila?. . . It is? . . . Well, I am Kyle Ely and I was wanting to let you talk to a friend of mine."

The phone was then handed to Raye, she grabbed the phone hesitantly and whispered into the phone, "Lila? Um, this is Raye Hino. . . You remember me? . . . Lita is outside! She will be so happy to see you! Yea, do you know where Kyle lives? You do? That's great, can you come over? Okay I will see you in five, bye!" Raye spun in a circle, "Lita is going to love you forever." she said launching into Nathan's arms.
