Demons of the Starnik

Chapter 20: Day Eight

Lupa's P.O.V

Five days have past since we've seen Scott, we were asked by Oak to leave them be to try another and more extreme method to curing Scott and it was best we weren't around. After travelling back with Faolan to retrieve him, he was exactly the same as he was when we brought everyone to see him, evil, horrid, sick and twisted. But we all knew he was doing this against his will, like that of the mind control drug concocted by the Ditori. But he told us he was saying those things, and his dark side was influencing him, so does that mean he truly enjoys what he says and does? No, that can't be, Scott was always a good wolf, he would never take pride in enjoying the things he said and thought. Thankfully my heat had come to an end, now he couldn't use that against me as well as the threats and say sick and gruesome things he wanted do to me because of it.

We went to visit Skye the following day, but found she wasn't at home, but at Tony's. She was very shaken up after her near death experience. Well when I say near death, she did actually die, but mom was quick to bring her back. She was just distraught to know it was at the paw of the wolf she grew up knowing as a nice guy, and always put others before him. But there he was, taking her life and snapping her neck like a tooth pick.

Mom was now beyond the point where she did cared what they did to him. In her words, she said they could "rip him limb from limb" just so she could have him back as the wolf she loved and the man she grew up with. Dakota and I would constantly find her talking to her stomach and singing the same lullaby she sung to us as pups, as if it could actually hear her, saying how "daddy's going to come back". It provided her with comfort I think, and she's even told us that the pup's been not only kicking more as the days went on, but because mom think's it knows what's going on with Scott. We all knew he would return eventually, but most importantly, would he before she went into labour in just under two week's time? Things were now getting desperate for us; we didn't want my little brother or sister to be born with a psychotic father who says he wants it dead. We all know the real Scott doesn't, but it was influencing him to say it.

Today Skye was still at Tony and Lexi's apartment, as were we, this time just talking about something other than Scott. None of us wanted to think about him right now, so we talked about anything else that came to mind but him.

"So Rosie how many weeks are you due now?" Karl asked? Lexi and Karl had come to terms now with her inability to have pups, but every time Lexi saw mom, her faced with looked jealous or depressed.

"Just under two weeks." Mom replied.

"So not long now." Skye added.

"I know we agreed not to mention him, but I just want him to be back when it comes." Mom said looking down a little upset. We were all starting to question whether or not he'd be home in time for it to come. Mom wanted it more then anything, she had it planned out, Scott to be by her side, with Dakota and I there back at home. As gruesome as it sounded, we're strangely ok with it, we wanted to be there. We've talked about more disturbing things then seeing my own mom give birth, and thinking about it, she wants it at home so she'll need all the comfort she can get to know that it'll all go as smoothly as it can get.

"We all do." Dakota replied and nuzzled her neck.

"Changing the subject, what do you guys say for a walk?" Tony asked.

"Sure, I haven't been out for a while." Lexi said getting up. "You coming handsome?" She asked Karl.

"Right behind you. You guys coming?" He asked looking at us.

"Yeah, why not." Mom replied as Dakota and I helped her to her paws. The pup was now practically at full size and was just waiting to be born. She may not be huge, but it took a lot out of her and she struggled to do the shortest of walks. As much as she hated being helped to walk everywhere and get up, Dakota and I just wanted her to be ok and not strain herself. The pup still kicked away inside her, she made Dakota and I feel where she felt it, which amazed us all. It was weird to think we were like that once in the same place.

We all left and followed Tony, Lexi and Karl; they knew where to go as they lived here for a while now and knew their way around. We took a short walk up to the small forest where we found Lexi's pack and hosted the party for them and the small town. And as fate should have it we came across that small clearing where it happened. Many memories were held here, Tony and Lexi became great friends, I opened my first portal, even if it was an accident. It was the first time we had successfully integrated a town and Wolf Pack, but what got Mom, Dakota and I the most was this was the place mom and Scott admitted their feelings for one another and sealed their fates, resulting in his transformation into a wolf for the rest of his life.

I saw out the corner of my eye mom was uncomfortable about being here, but luckily we continued walking on, but not before Tony asked Lexi.

"What was the kiss you gave me here when we met for?"

"I don't know, I just knew we'd be friends the moment I saw you." She answered.

"You kissed him?" Karl asked sounding a little surprised.

"Not like that sicko." She giggled flicking him on the nose with her tail. "It was on the neck."

"You do that to me." He teased.

"I know but this was a friendly one, I'm sure you'll agree." She said to Tony.

"Of course, pure, strictly, unadulterated friendship." He chuckled.

"You're both disgusting." She scoffed as she slipped back and joined mom, Skye and me leaving the guys to talk to themselves. "Men" She whispered.

"Tell me about it." I giggled. They decided on a path that led to a T-junction, leaving Tony to ask.

"Which way now?"

"This way." Lexi replied walking straight on. "We're going off road."

"You guys are built for off road, we're not." He said as he and Skye brought up the rear.

"Well tough, keep up." Dakota said.

"You guys are assholes you know." Skye sighed as they admitted defeat and walked with us. Walking off a path felt much better then on one, it made me feel wild again. But I am wild, so I don't know why I'm thinking like that. In a better way of putting it, it felt natural, more normal, and I'm sure the others would agree, just not Tony or Skye.

It was thirty minutes into the walk we came to a stop after discovering the scraps of a caribou carcass. It was mainly bones with scraps of fur and a bit of meat attached here and there. By the looks of what's left and the number of flies swarming above it, I'd say it was over two weeks old. We all looked at it hungrily, were as Tony. "That's gross." He said covering his mouth and nose like Skye as not to inhale the stench. Whereas to us it wasn't that bad, rather alluring.

"What, you think that's bad?" Lexi asked.

"Yes it's bad." Skye exclaimed. "How could you eat that?"

"Well we wouldn't now, that is gross." Dakota answered.

"Don't you care about how it feels?" She asked again.

"Not really, when we're hunting it kind of takes you over, like an adrenaline rush."

"But you don't care about what your chasing feels?" Tony asked.

"Nope, why do you want to know?" Lexi asked with a smile.

"Not really." He replied a little fearful.

"Well maybe you should, you're the ones asking questions so we can answer them." Mom replied.

"Well answer them then?" Skye said.

"Ok." I said with a smile. "Run"

"Huh." He said confused.

"Run." I added but this time I let out a feral snarl, raising my hackles and baring my teeth shortly followed by the others doing the same, just to add to their fear. We weren't going to hurt them, just answer their question. They wanted to know what it was like and this would be one of the last few things a caribou would see before we ripped its throat out. We all continued our display as we stalked towards them; they didn't wait and bolted off through a bush, that's when we settled down a laughed it off.

"Bit extreme wasn't it?" Karl chuckled.

"I'm just answering their question." I answered.

"They must be bricking it right now." Lexi said with a laugh.

"Shouldn't we be running after them?" Dakota asked.

"Naa not yet, give'em a head start." I replied.

Tony's P.O.V

"They're insane!" I yelled to Skye. They truly were, we only asked a simply yes or no question and now they have us re-enacting a chase, and we were the prey!

"You had to go and open your big mouth!" She yelled back.

"Hey you're the one who asked in the first place." I said as I jumped over a fallen tree.

"But you asked them again, giving them the idea!" She yelled as she swerved around a tree.

"Wait stop." I said as we both did just that. "We're not going to out run them, so we need to out smart them.

"So what are we going to do?" She asked frantically and panting as I was.

"I say we leave a false trail, leading them else where."

"They'll just follow us still; Dakota can track and WILL know."

"Ok, then lets run to the river, they can't pick up our scents there."

"Quick it's this way!" She said as she sprinted off to the left.

"How do you know?" I yelled towards her.

"Because we passed it on the way up, you need to look around more often." It wasn't long until we came across it, and jumped into it. It was shallow and only went up to our knees; we were prepared to get soaked as we waded through to the other side. "How much longer do you think we have?" She asked hyperventilating.

"How do we know their not watching us now?"

"Well we should move down river, if we can get to the clearing and into the cabin we'll be safe."

"Let's get running." I said as we continued moving. She had a good plan; we could hide out in the cabin if we got there in time before they found us. But like I said, they could be watching us now. Wolves were strategy animals, planning out their attacks, rarely failing. We continued to jog until we could no further, by now they will have defiantly left and either on their way or were creeping up in us from the shadows. We had to keep moving. Although they are our friends, and would never hurt us, this seemed so real. But it was actually rather fun, the fear in us made it enjoyable. A bit like that film Predator, where they have to escape the aliens who are tracking them down to kill.

"How much further?" I asked.

"It should be a little further, we could run?"

"I can't any more." But that thought completely changed when a growl filled the air, then another join it, then another, and another. A number of growls filled our ears from around us, they were here. "RUN!"I bellowed as we suddenly had the will to run faster then before. It wasn't long until something on the other side of the river caught my attention, I glanced to see it was Dakota and Karl, but where were Rosie, Lupa and Lexi?

"Look out!" Skye screamed. I looked to my right just in time as a flying object came towards me; I dodged it to see Lupa stumble to the ground after soaring over my head. Clever things, Dakota and Keith tried to distract me so Lupa could tackle me down.

The cabin was in sight, we had made it, but would we get inside and shut the doors before them? We ran into the car park and using the corner of the hut rounded the corner quicker just as Lexi launched herself at us and grazed my back. Skye and I ran inside, shut and locked the door, and watched as Lexi tried to barge them open.

"Nice try." I mocked. She just smiled and ran away. Both Skye and I turned our backs to the door and slid down it as we fell to the floor, exhausted and adrenaline coursed its way through out systems.

"That was fun." She panted.

"We should do it again some time." I chuckled.

"What do we do now, is the game still on?" She asked.

"I don't know." I replied. We both averted our gaze from one another and looked ahead, going wide eyed at an instant. Before us stood the five wolves we tried so hard to escape from. Dakota and Lexi on a table, then Rosie and Karl on the right on the floor, and the Lupa on a table next them, all looking threatening, and a low growl emitting from all of them. We looked past them to see the back door wide open. How could we forget the back door?! We had lost, but was there any chance of a way out? I frantically looked around, hoping there was a chance of escape, and there I saw it, salvation. Right above them was a net, holding several balloons to the ceiling, there must have been a party going on or something before or will be soon. I followed the release string to see it secured to a peg right above me. I wrapped an arm around Skye as we stood to our feet.

"You lose." Lexi said as they all started to step forward.

"Nope." I said making them stop and looking confused. "You lose." I added as I pulled the string, releasing the net. Skye and I watched as it fell and landed on the five wolves, encasing and trapping them. Once again Skye and I fell to the floor and wrapped an arm around each other, glad we were going to live this game.

"Hey the prey just whooped your ass." She giggled as they all tried to get out.

"Yeah fine you got us, now can you get us out." Lexi asked.

"Why? We might just leave you there a moment." I chuckled. We actually did leave them there for a little while longer, just joking on how we outsmarted them, but they protested that we cheated on running here. At some point we did have to release them, so we both took an end and flipped it over. But that was a fatal mistake, for I immediately had Lupa, Lexi and Karl jump on me whilst Skye had Dakota and Rosie pin her down. All snarled in our faces, trying to be threatening, and it worked, I was crapping myself.

"Now who's won?!" Lexi snarled. I really didn't see any way out this time, but then I did. I looked just above me to see a cattleman rifle on a stand against the wall above me, so I made a quick plan. I rolled in such a way it sent them all off me, giving me just enough time to scramble to the gun, but slip back to the floor. Just as the wolves were about to pounce on me once more I had it aimed at them. It was a model weapon; it was far too light to be genuine. But they didn't know that, and actually feared it.

"I won."

"Ok you did." Lupa said as they all backed away. They really were scared so I pointed it away.

"Don't worry; it's not real, feels way to light." Just to be sure I aimed it out the door and pulled the trigger, nothing happened, relieving them all. Dakota helped Skye to her feet as I placed it back on its stand.

"Not going to try anything now?" Skye asked making sure.

"No, we'll LET you win." Rosie said as if they had.

"Excuse me, we DID win; if that was real you'd all be dead." I protested.

"It was a pretty good idea." Lexi said with a smile. "At least we know you'd be ok it you were attacked."

"Well I've got you and Karl for that."

"Well if we weren't around then at least we know."

"What gave you the idea to run into the river?" Dakota asked as we all started to leave via the front doors after I unlocked it.

"We thought you'd lose our scent, why did it work?" Skye asked.

"Yeah it did, we went on instinct to which way you went after that."

"It was my idea to come here." Skye said proudly.

"It was good, but would you have shot us if we weren't your friends?" Lupa asked. They all looked at me wanting to know.

"Honestly, I would have. If you were complete strangers and attacked me and my friend then I would. Sorry if you wanted to hear otherwise."

"No, it's ok, it's actually good to here you'd do that for your friend." Lexi said with a smile.

"Well I would, even for you guys."

"Well we can take care of ourselves." Dakota chuckled.

"I know you can." I said stating the obvious. The journey home was full of jokes and laughs, but mostly of ways Skye and I could escape a wolf or a pack of them if the time ever came. Things like how to mask your scent, trick them into thinking you went another way, confusing them, as drastic and random as it seems, it was useful to know. It was when we arrived to the door to the apartment that Rosie, Dakota and Lupa said they had to leave. Their faces said exactly where they were going, they were going to see Scott. They hadn't told us who was trying to fix him, or what they were doing. But if they trusted them to know what they were doing them so did we, just as long as they brought him back. After saying our goodbyes they left, off to check on him wherever he is.

Lupa's P.O.V

My bother had jumped us a little way from the entrance to the Dire Wolves home. We were advised not to come again for a little while longer, but we weren't having that, we were eager to see the progress they had made. The short walk to the boulder was silent, and the tension building, I howled for Faolan to let us in, the usual way for him to do so, and he did a few minutes later. "Oh hey guys, what brings you by?" He asked as if playing dumb.

"Stop playing games we've come to see him." Mom said as she pushed passed him and down the corridor with me and Dakota shortly after.

"How have things been with him?" I asked.

"Not as good as we thought, he's still rejecting anything we've tried, so now we're trying things we hoped we never had to do and have never done before."

"Which is?" I asked, not sure if I wanted to know or not.

"It's best you see for yourself." He replied as we entered the main dome.

"Where is he?" Mom asked sounding impatient.

"In the sanctum, follow me." He said as we did. We walked into the sanctum and saw three wolves stood around the pool, one of which for some reason had his paw under the water as he lay beside it.

"Where is he?" Mom asked Oak as we approached.

"Oh you're back." He said sounding surprised. "So soon?"

"Is he back to normal yet?" Dakota asked.

"See for yourself?" He said as he pointed and nodded to the wolf with his giant mitt under the water. He too nodded and quickly pulled it out, shortly followed by Scott who hacked and coughed up the water he inhaled. We all gasped, they were trying to kill him!

"And I thought I was sick, you're fucking twisted!" He yelled just as he was pushed under the water again before he could take a breath. We could see him trying to scratch away at the massive wolf's paw, but didn't have much luck and didn't make a scratch.

"What are you doing?!" Mom screamed as she tried to run to him but was caught by one of the wolves here.

"We're trying to get him to fear death; fear is an emotion, so if he can feel that then we're in business." Oak answered.

"How long have you been doing this for?" Dakota asked as mom settled seeing the point in their idea.

"A few days for a few hours."

"And he doesn't fear it?"

"Not yet, but he will." He answered just as he resurfaced with another gasp and a splutter.

"How do you feel Scott, angry, scared, annoyed?" Oak asked as he walked closer to him. He just looked up at him, scowling at him.

"This isn't going to work." He breath but with a weak smile.

"Hmm, but it's worth a try. Again." He said as he was once again pushed under, his screams muffled by the water that filled his lungs each time he opened his mouth. They said their methods were extreme, but we never thought it would go this far! But we saw how this was necessary; getting him to fear something will do it. If we can get an emotionless wolf to feel some emotion, then we know it's possible. As much as it killed us to watch this, we knew it needed to be done. "That's enough for today." He ordered as the wolf brought his paw out the water and stepped away. "Now Scott I will give you one last chance." He rasped as he stepped towards him. "How do you feel?" Scott took heavy breaths whilst he stepped out the water and was closely watched by us all. He was exhausted, barely able to stand up. He scowled at mom, Dakota and I as he answered.

"I don't feel anything."

"Well there's always tomorrow, goodnight Scott."

"Goodnight Assholes." He managed to say before he was grabbed by the spike in his scruff and dragged to his cell.

"Why did he look so weak?" I asked Faolan.

"Because we're starving him."

"Why?" Mom asked sound surprised.

"Because when he's weak enough he won't be able to fight back physically or mentally. Oak wants to try and use telepathy on him to try getting him to see what he's left behind." He answered. "I was meaning to ask before you left last time, is he an Gifted?"

"A what?" Dakota asked.

"An Gifted, you know someone like Lupa and I, someone with abilities." He was talking about a supernatural, that must be what they call them here. We shared a glance, not sure of what to say. But mom seemed to think of something.

"His mother is, she has incredible mental power. Why?" That was a lie, she may be a "Gifted", but she wasn't a strong minded one. But at least she thought of something.

"He's very strong mentally, I tried to get into his mind yesterday and he threw me out like I was a leaf. He must have inherited a strong mental strength from her."

"So does that make him one?"

"Not if he can use it, he obviously can't or else he would have by now. He just naturally has a strong mind, just in his genes." Scott was a telepath, so thoughout his time as the Starnik and whilst he and mom lived together in the Valley they practised it, she told me they were constantly hearing each others thoughts uncontrollably and hearing things they didn't want to hear, so they learnt to block the other out and strengthen their minds.

"Well he can't but we knew he was strong willed." Mom said.

"It's annoying so we have to starve him further to weaken him completely."

"We understand, just do what you have to do." Mom said.

"We're doing everything we can." He said with a confident smile. "I have to go out and collect some things for Oak, fancy joining me again Lupa? I'm getting used to your company." He asked.

"I'd love to." I replied happily. "Is that ok with you mom?"

"Of course honey, just be careful." She said as she nuzzled my neck.

"I will, see you in a bit." I said as Faolan and I walked out the sanctum and out the cave after he opened and closed it. But when he did it made me think. "Don't they wonder what the outside looks like?"

"The others? Sometimes, but I just tell them what it looks like, that seems to be enough for them."

"Can't you just make the tunnel bigger?" I asked again as we started walking through the snow.

"We could, but we've agreed to remain hidden, and it's better if there's only me and Tarkeith running around out here."

"They must envy you." I joked.

"I have thought about taking this off and growing so I can't." He said motioning to his bracelet. "But who would Oak find to get his things."

"Tarkeith could do it."

"He doesn't know anything about the shaman's stuff. Don't get me wrong he's a great guy; he usually just comes out for other things other then what Oak needs."

"Sounds fair." I replied. I took my eyes off him just as he started scenting the air.

"Hey, your heats over." He said.

"Yeah, finally." I said happily.

"Now I can stop holding my breath around you."

"It affects you too?" I asked a little surprised.

"Of course, I'm a Wolf too, just bigger a one."

"This may seem weird, but did it affect you at all in that way." I asked blushing. He did too but still answered.

"Can I tell you without you being mad?"

"Of course." I replied.

"It did, but for a good reason."

"Which was?" I asked wanting to know.

"Remember I told you that these bracelets stop everything, even our reproductive stuff."

"Yeah."

"Well it does the same to the girls, they haven't been in heat for three thousand years, so we've not smelt it for that long, and suddenly you come along and it's all a bit overwhelming. It made me a little admittedly uncomfortable around you sometimes."

"Don't the others see it that way?"

"There all grown up, and their hormones are at a steady pace. This sounds weird but I had my bracelet put on whilst mine were soaring. The same with Tarkeith, but he hasn't been around you, where as I have and It's a little hard to be around a beautiful girl whilst she's in heat."

"What did you call me?" I asked as I came to a stop. He took a few more and looked back at me. If I could see under his fur he'd be blushing like mad.

"I said you're beautiful."

"You really think so?" I asked again blushing in return.

"I do, you're the perfect example of the girl I always dreamed of meeting some day. Something we share in common, great personality, brave, sensitive. In my eyes you're perfect."

"Why are you saying this?"

"Because it's true, and I'm probably going to regret this, but if the height issue wasn't a problem, then I'd ask you if you'd like to go on a date sometime." This was so weird! But then so right, he really was being truthful. He was so sweet and caring, and to be honest, he was everything I pictured in my Mr. Right.

"Well, if it weren't for that." I said as I approached him. "I'd accept that date."

"Would you really?" He asked.

"I would, now where are we going?" I asked as I walked past him but ran my tail under his chin teasingly. He was taken back by this a little but padded to my side.

"Just up here. Oh there something I want to show you." He said sounding a little excited.

"What's that?" I asked amused at his sudden change in mood.

"Hold on" he said as he suddenly slid underneath me and the next thing I know was I was in his back.

"What the hell!" I managed to say with a laugh before he ran, still with me on him. He was fast; I could see why he told me to hold on. This was kind of fun, more then sticking your head out of a car. It was a few minutes later we arrived at where he wanted to take me.

"What was that for?" I asked as I slithered off.

"We don't have a lot of time so I tried to make up for it." I rolled my eyes and walked on passed him, it was weird, he wasn't really tall enough to do that, I could have kept up with him. Looking around, he had brought me into a meadow, it was amazing. Flowers of different types and colours grew in the short soft grass. It was similar to the one mom and dad went to at the home we were born in, saying it was their romantic place. The snow seemed the settle around the place, not on it for a mysterious reason, letting the flowers grow in the grass.

"It's beautiful." I gasped.

"I know, I come here when Oak hasn't got me doing anything to help think or clear my head, no-one knows of this place."

"But why did you bring me here?"

"Because I wanted to show you, I thought you'd like it?" He replied.

"Well I do, but I still don't understand why." I said as I turned to face him. When I did I suddenly felt something come over me. I found myself blankly staring at him, like I do to the guys when I'm in heat and lose it for a split second. My mind was starting to piece all this together on its own. The romantic meadow, calling me beautiful, saying he would date me if it was possible, and to top it off a hot guy lying before me. No this can't be happening, was I? I can't be, I can't be falling for him can I? He's ten inches taller then me for goodness sakes.

"Lupa are you ok?" He asked as I snapped back into reality. He was waving his paw over my face.

"Oh sorry, lost in thought."

"What were you thinking about."

"Just how weird this feels."

"How what feels?" He asked.

"Sitting here, with you..."

"In a romantic meadow..." He added.

"On our own…" I then added

"Leaning closer..." He said, I hadn't noticed it, but we were leaning closer to each other. My mind was screaming that I know better, but my heart was in more control over my actions.

"Heart racing…"

"Gazes locked." Oh no, was this really going to happen? We were millimetres from kissing, but then we found we paused.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" He asked without moving.

"I don't know." I whispered.

"I can't see how this could work." He said as he slowly started to move away.

"Oh screw it." I sighed as I threw myself at him and locked our lips. I had my eyes open and watched as his widened in shock, but then like mine started to flutter and close as we got lost in the moment. We started to get more into it as the minutes passed. Still my mind bellowed for me to stop, but still my heart silenced it and refused for it to have any say. But I saw sense, how could this work? I'm the daughter of the Starnik, someone he would hate. I'd only just remind him of the one who broke his heart all those years ago. I pulled away, and looked into his eyes; we were lying on our sides and smiling at each other. His amazing jade green eyes reminded me slightly of when mine turned.

But wait, he doesn't have to know. Sure we wouldn't be able to have pups some day, but he'd never have to know. This could work, even if size was an issue. "I only came out to get some things." He said with a chuckle.

"And I only came out to help you." I giggled.

"So, about that date."

"Are you asking me on one now?" I asked running my paw back and forth across his chest.

"Would you like to?" He asked with a sheepish smile.

"I'd love to." I answered with a smile.

"That's great, how about we get what I needed and we'll discuss it along the way?"

"Can't we talk now?" I asked not wanting the moment to end.

"Oak will get suspicious, and what would your mom think?" Oh damn, my mom; I never thought of her, what would she think of this?

"Let's keep this between us for the time being, just until Scott gets better. Then we'll be able to talk about it."

"Sounds like a plan, shall we get going?" He asked as he lifted his head.

"Let's" I replied with smile. But we both leaned forward to get up at the same time, resulting in our noses touching. We both blushed and pulled and looked away.

"Shall we?" He asked as he started walking. I started walking after him, happy with what has just occurred. But then I had all the negatives to this come flying from all directions at me. What would mom think, what if Faolan found out about us, what if he doesn't accept me for it? He fell out with his last girlfriend after she became the Starnik, what if I just remind him of her? This was all so wrong, I can't do this! I have responsibilities now, as the daughter of the Starnik, to my family and to my friends. But can't I have a love in my life, other then my family, a true love. With all I've grown up to become, it doesn't seem I can.

"What the hell are you doing Lupa?!"

Lupa's falling in love, Lupa's falling in love! Oh lala. This was another thing i never planned out for this story, i remember when i typed this, i got to the moment where they came to the meadow, and i din't know what to do from there, so i thought "hey, why not get them to fall in love" it's a plan. But wait, what about her responsibilities as the Starnik, and that as a whole? Faolan has grown up to hate the Starnik, surly she can't go through with this. What if he found out. More importantly, what if Rosie found out? Hell will be on Lupa's paws if her mother finds out.

They aren't getting any closer with Scott, and the full moon looms closer, can they cure him before then, before Expression takes over before his bodies? A little information on it because I've been getting PM's that it's confusing. It is something I've made up so don't worry about it. What it is, is a dark side that dwells in every being on earth, the dark and usually subconscious part of them that is never seen. Expression is another word for it and Wolves have the ability if they wish to turn off their emotions and switch places with the good side. Think of it as a good soul and a bad soul. The good soul is always out for people to see, but the bad soul want out and so when they turn it off the bad soul controls the body. Make any sense? But back to the story, i hope you enjoy it and look out for the other two chapter i shall out up today. Until next time. :)
