I decided to do two chapters for ya.

Iggy Pov

Her entire body was sleek and slender; her fur was just as silky as her hair when she was human. But this new look, her sharp teeth and piercing eyes, I knew my Serenity was in there somewhere.

But where did that syringe come from?

"Serenity" I called out her, "its okay. I'll keep you safe". I held out my hands in front me, pleading for her to calm down, but her head just shook back and forth like she was battling the beast within her. I know she was trying so desperately to fight it, her defiance was in her eyes, and when I saw her lips on her arm…that's when I knew she snapped. She needed to know that I was here, even if she thought she was alone.

It explains everything. Why should run off somewhere or keep all that pain inside of her, if she just let some of it out if she just knew that someone's cares for her, then maybe she wouldn't have to fight so hard and it won't be so hard.

"I'm here, Serenity, right here". I cooed her; she frantically shook her head, back and forth. I crept slowly to her, taking Eraser face, holding it in place with my hands forcing her to look at me. "Serenity" I whispered, "it's okay". Her eyes got large and wide, her body stopped shaking and everything seemed to stop.

"Iggy, no" Max rammed into Serenity's Eraser form causing them to roll over each other. Serenity snapped her jaws at her trying to get a hold of her arm, Max just punched in the snout jerking her head back.

"No, Max. That's Serenity".

She was about to do a round-house kick, when she turned to face me, "wha-"?

Serenity raised her claw and took a swipe at Max's back, "gyah" she cried and stumbled forward. She fell to the ground clutching her shoulder. "Max" several voice chorus from above.

Fang slammed into Serenity's body before she got the chance to claw her again. They rolled over each other, while Fang dug into his pockets for weapon. He brought out a knife, cutting across her chest.

"No, Fang. It's Serenity". I called him; he just shook his hand and slammed into her again.

"Max, you okay" Angel asked, kneeling in front of her Max. "ye…ah" she breathed out ragged breaths then turned her attention back onto Serenity, "that's Serenity", she asked.

I nodded, "you have to make Fang stop" I told her. Fang and Nudge were fighting together now; Fang punched Serenity in the face, while Nudge punched her in the ribs. Serenity stumbled back hitting a tree where Fang took the knife and stabbed right through her hand. He stepped back watching Serenity roar in pain.

"Stop it" I cried after Fang. "No, Iggy" Max said as I went for her.

"But Max" I whined.

"No Iggy, this is the only way we can…do this".

"By hurting her"?

She didn't meet my eyes; she went on staring at Fang's fight.

Serenity blew out of her nostrils in an angry huff and ripped her hand from the tree, diving for Fang. He managed to dodge her by taking flight, when she looked up she got distract and Nudge got her in a choke hold. As Serenity, was trashing around, bucking to get Nudge off Fang blended in with the sky. Somehow, Serenity's arms got behind her back, restraining her from using her deadly claws.

Gassy flew down right in front of her, looking up into her Eraser eyes. "Serenity" his voice was timid and scared, "come back to us", he held his arms. He meant no harm to her, he wanted her back.

Serenity stopped flailing looking into his teary eyes. Fang reappeared holding her arms back while Nudge tightens her hold on Serenity, however this unfazed her. She was only looking at Gassy, just staring at him. She dropped to her knees in front him, bowing her head.

Gassy took a hesitant step forward, trembling hand extended, "Serenity".

"Be careful, Gassy", Max barked, as Gassy closed the distance between them. With trembling fingers, Gassy rested his hands on her head stroking it slowing. He kneeled down so he could pet the side of her face, stroking her fur away from her cheeks. He scratched her behind the ears, and Serenity's eyes closed in contentment.

"Serenity" he breathed out and continued to stroke her. Nudge's grip loosened while Fang's did not.

Then, her eyes snapped open lunging forward her jaws snapped at Gassy arms. "Aah" Gassy screamed as her fang's bit into his upper arm. Her jaws sunk deeper, holding on firmly. I heard the sickening crunch of Gassy's bone break and he screamed even louder.

Nudge dove for a punch again, but flames erupted from her body. Nudge fell to the ground, clutching her burnt arm, holding back a sob.

Fang made an angry grunt and climbed on top of her, punching her in the head again and again, "let him go, you monster" Fang yelled. Her release on Gassy didn't break.

If anything, with her jaws she was bringing Gassy closer to her so he would be underneath her. Gassy's scream were quieting, his struggling slowing. Blood poured out of his arms and his eyes were fluttering close, and then he went limb all together.

"Release him, Serenity" Angel's voice was demanding. Serenity's ears perked to her direction and she stared at her. Angel was alone out there, with Max struggling to stand and Fang pounding away at Serenity's heads, Gasser limp and Nudge clutching her burned arm, Angel was alone and where was I…

"Serenity let him go", Angel asked again. Serenity obeyed dropping her mouth, Gassy slid from her grip to the ground in a blood heap.

"Step away from him", obeying again Serenity took two steps back before her ears flattened and she bucked Fang off her, he was tossed heavily on the ground and I thought I heard something snap. Fang was making an attempt to stand, holding his wrist.

Out of my peripheral vision, I saw Max take another step forward with Total at her side. No one was in any condition to fight back.

So I charged at her slamming hard into her chest knocking her hard on the ground. "Serenity"! I yelled her, "Wake up" I took the scruff of her neck and shook her. "Fight it, look what you did to Gassy. Serenity dammit".

I did a thing that I regret the most, but I…I still loved her, it was the only way. Drawing a fist back, I punched her in the face, took her the scruff of her neck again flying upwards, "don't make me do this, Serenity". My body was trembling as my hold on her was slipping.

My shoulder slumped I couldn't do it, so I descend back down putting her back on solid earth. "Serenity" I said again, however she just roared up and bit into my shoulder, "Serenity"! I yelled, I punched her in the gut and then uppercut her jaw, she stumbled backwards and Fang slammed into her back. Her back arched in pain, whirling around she took a swipe at Fang directly upward. Fang's head snapped up causing him to fall, hard.

He fell to the ground with legs and arms spread wide, blood spilling vertically on his body. His head flopped to the side and passed out.

She was about to go for him again, when I did the hardest thing I could ever do it. I tossed a bomb at her, while Nudge carried Fang away from the explosion.

Debris and stones scratched my face till the after shock flew me backwards. I had to cover my face with my arms when something heavy slammed into me. Opening my eyes just a crack, Serenity's jaw was just inches from my face.

How did she get here so fast?

I drew back my arm to launch another punch when her jaws clamped onto my arms. I gritted my teeth to keep from screaming, so instead I used my other arm to go for stomach when her claw whipped out, blocking my attack. She twisted my arm, and I think I heard something crack.

My right arm hung loosely at my side, "Iggy" Nudge was calling my name, as she emerged from the smoke. Fang was on her shoulders, I didn't see the others.

Just then, something dug into my chest right where my heart was. I looked down and saw that Serenity's claws were digging into my chest, inching closer to my aorta veins and arteries. This time I screamed, that only seemed to urge Serenity more as her claw turned and twisted. I tried to use my other arm which still had her jaws around, to remove it but her claws were latched onto me.

"Serenity" I yelled, "what are you trying to do, rip my heart out"? I said breathlessly.

Her twisting stop, her eyes snapped open and she detached herself from me. I fell to my knees clutching my chest. I brought my gaze back to her when I saw she was backing up again, shaking her head.

"Iggy" Nudge said as she landed next to me and rested a hand on my shoulder. "You're hurt" she said.

"Where are the others" I asked her.

"Max has Gassy, Angel and Total is with them".

"How's…gassy" I said bitterly, "he's…not doing so well". She said sadly.

I gritted my teeth in frustration and balled my fists, "ah, dammit, those…whitecoats". I spat out, "they did this".

I heard the saddest thing, a howl of pure agony and sorrow echoed from Serenity. She fell to her knees, clutching her head that now rested on the ground. Her shoulders were shaking as well as her head; back and forth.

She lifted her snout to the sky once more and howled, no she cried out a painful moan. Something emitted from her fur, something black like shadows or smoke.

It was pitch black fog, then realized it wasn't fog but fire and it was coming for us.

Black fire from every side. There was no escaping this, it was closing in on us, but it wasn't hot, but cold. "Iggy" Nudge screamed beside me, but everything went dark and I couldn't see anymore.

And I didn't want to.

-+-

A wet cloth was dabbing my chest and something was wrapped around my arm. I refused to open my eyes; I didn't want to see anymore…anymore blood, pain.

But I had to get up, where are they? Where's Serenity?

Slowly I peeled my eyelid looking around me, "shh, Iggy just relax". Max was wiping a washcloth around my face, "where's ev'ry one", I asked groggily.

Her eyes got sad, "Fang's recovering, I had Nudge to bandage him up. He should be…okay and Nudge's is well, so is Angel. Gassy…"

I bolt up, "Gassy" I said panting, "how, where is he"? She placed a hand on my shoulder, "Iggy…he lost a lot blood and he looks…" tears pooled over her eyes.

"Max, what is it"?

"Oh, Iggy, I'm sorry…Gassy we tried the best we could but…his arms broken and it hit an artery. Right now he's asleep and he's so pale".

I looked around the sight; Fang was resting in Nudge's lap while she was wrapping bandages all the way from his stomach to his neck. Nudge's arm was in a cast and Gassy…

He looked so pale, white almost. He was asleep, his arms wrapped in bandages but also in a splint resting on his stomach, wrapped to his waist in blankets. Angel was silently crying next to him stroking his hair. Her red-rimmed eyes met my, "where's Serenity"? I asked quietly.

"I'm sorry, Iggy" she whispered. My eyes widen, "Max you didn't…it wasn't her fault the-".

"I know it was those damn white coats Iggy, I know it shouldn't be her fault but it is". She glared at me then sighed, "I didn't Iggy, I swear".

"Then, if you didn't kill her, where is she"? I asked.

"I'm sorry, Iggy. She left this". She handed me a folded white note, opening it one word numbed me.

She was gone forever, she won't be coming back and I don't know if I should even find her.

But, I still missed her; still loved her but she made her choice. She lied, didn't keep her promise like she said to would.

To me

To Gassy

To the flock

She lied, and with that one word she closed off any relationship she had with us.

That one word

Sorry was all that white piece of paper said.

Been working on this all week, both chapters
