Romulus's POV

Cole and his brothers had gone to bed a while ago, but I was still awake. I was sat on the lowest branch of a tree, close to the camp. I was thinking on what Huang had said, about how many people I had killed.

One person...

One too many...

I pulled my legs up to my chest, attempting to banish the thoughts from my head.

But they did not leave...

I closed my eyes, and the images of what had happened flashed in front of myself.

"You worthless child!" My father shouted, he raised his hand in a threatening motion.

I was 16 years old, and yet I feared my dad as if I was a young child who was scared of monsters under the bed. My fear was unimaginable.

I pulled myself into a ball, trying to get away from the man who cared nothing for me.

If I could do anything to get out of this cycle of terror, I would do it.

I put my head into my hands, holding in my anger that was towards my father. I may have hated him, but what had happened... I never forgave myself.

The moon rose in the distance, I may have been young, I may have only been a werewolf for a short amount of time. But I knew how to control myself... I also knew when to lose control...

The moonlight flooded through the window, my father had made a big mistake.

... but soon, so would I...

The light hit me, my bones cracking and popping in protest to the transformation. Within seconds, I stood, towering over my father. It was his turn to shrink back in terror.

I didn't think, I lost it...

There was so much blood once I was done... there wasn't a surface that was free from the red stain.

I came back to reality, I was pressed up against the tree trunk, shaking with terror. The memory was just as vivid as when it had happened. Huang had brought it all to the surface.

Huang!

I looked down at my hands, black veins wove over the top. The moon was out, and Huang was in full view...

I jumped down from the branch, landing on the ground in a rather messy fashion. I immediately ran over to where Cole slept. I shook him until his eyes opened. "Cole, did we cover Huang?" I asked frantically.

He thought for a moment and sleepily replied "No, why?"

I held out my hand for him to see, the black veins still visible on my hand and up my arm. He looked to the moon and his eyes widened in realisation.

Cole pulled his hood up and drew his scythe and I just stood there, scanning the darkest parts of the woods.

"Should we wake everyone else?" I asked Cole.

"I think that would be a good idea..." Cole whispered back. He walked over to each of his brothers, in turn and quietly woke them. "What is it?" Kai asked. Cole immediately shushed him.

Jay, Zane and Kai followed Cole through the darkness to where I stood. "We need to go. Now." I said.

"Why? Can't we wait until morning?" Jay yawned.

"No time. We have to go." I repeated, gesturing for them to hurry up.

"What's happening?" Kai asked again.

"We made a mistake. And the mistake will literally bite back if we don't get moving. Now move!" Cole commanded.

"Okay, okay." Kai gave in and started bundling up his sleeping bag.

My ears picked up a sound over all the talking coming from the ninja... ninja are meant to be silent.

I looked around frantically, searching for the source of the sound.

Cole walked to my side, he could see that I was stressed. "Have you sensed him?" He asked.

"I think so... Cole, block your ears for a moment." I said.

Cole didn't argue, he put his fingers into his ears.

I took out the dog whistle from under my gi and blew into its thin silver end. The shrill sound shot from the other end nearly deafening me. I winced, but carried on making the tube produce the agonizing sound, if Huang was anywhere around, he wouldn't keep quiet about it.

A long chorus of rustling came from a spot of the forest a couple hundred feet away, and a howl pierced the night. The ninja turned their heads towards the sound.

"What was that?" Jay whispered, fear apparent in his voice.

"It seems as though our werewolf enemy has escaped his bonds." Zane analyzed.

"Really! I thought it was a little kitten!" Jay shouted, his voice practically oozing with sarcasm.

Zane gave him a confused glance. "From my current data banks, kittens do not make that noise. It is much too loud, I assume it would be a wolf of some sort."

Jay face palmed, he sometimes forgot that Zane didn't fully understand sarcasm. Since he was a nindroid.

"The noise came from that way," Kai said, pointing due north. "So it would be a good idea to go south."

"That's good, that's where we need to go if we want to find the cure." I said.

Cole turned to me and unplugged his ears, he now wore the confused look. "You want to help find the cure?" He asked.

"I can't let you do it alone, and do you think you're the only one who doesn't want to be a werewolf?" I stated as I started to walk south.

"Anyway, we'd better get moving, Huang will be out to get us now because I think we just pissed him off."
