(Authors Note: Okay so I'm impatient and can't wait for loads of ppl to
review. One review is enough. Besides I can always edit the document and
update the reviews and I need to keep busy writing. So here's chapter 4 up
for you)
Shadow: Thanks for your reviews. I've selected all reviews allowed now so you can review unsigned if you want. I'm hoping this one is a long chapter too. But we'll see at the end of it

The scene that lay before Infinity and Quinn was one of utter chaos. Gryphon and Galen wrestled on the floor. Galen the younger of the pair, had somehow managed to get the upper hand on his older half-brother and was proceeding to squeeze the life out of him with his hands. wait.on second inspection they looked less like hands. They were changing, lengthening, and sprouting fur. 'Uh oh' Infinity thought. Gaelen was morphing in his rage, taking his leopard form. His flawless features already twisted with fury were deforming, becoming more feline. His green eyes glowed with a malevolent light. "OKAY STOP!" Infinity roared before she could control herself. Both shifters stopped grappling and looked at her, she was aware of Quinn staring at her as well but she didn't let him distract her. She moved quickly grabbing Galen by one arm and Gryphon likewise with her other hand. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" she thundered, delivering the sentence to both of them but looking pointedly at Galen. Galen yowled and struggled; hissing and scratching like a wildcat. Gryphon looked shocked and more than a little shaken. "Morph back Galen for Goddess sake and then perhaps the pair of you would like to explain just what exactly you're playing at?!" Infinity spat in disgust at the shifters, her eyes glowing dragon red momentarily as if to dare either of them to defy her. Galen averted his eyes but showed no sign of morphing "Well Prince? Have you lost your hearing as well as your senses?" Infinity snapped, Galen growled in a sulky way. "I can't. He's got me too wound up. It's gonna take me hours to cool off enough to change back" he hissed, still a weird half- half mode with ears on top of his head, a half-merged nose, teeth, claws, and patches of fur, plus a lashing tail. Infinity sighed "What did he do now that pissed you off so much" she said wearily "I didn't do anything he left his book in the library and I put it back in his room, then he comes charging in accusing me of stealing his stuff" Gryphon spoke finally sounding both angry and indignant. "Oh yeah right like I'm supposed to believe that! Your mother was a cheap thief and so are you!" Galen spat, Gryphon lunged at him. Infinity yanked them apart again. "Do you two want me to report you to Thierry? He can have the pair of you put out of the circle for good" she warned, both shifters shook their heads, Gryphon looked at her "Look Finny please, you're my friend, you know what I'm like better than anyone. You know I wouldn't steal" he pleaded. Infinity rolled her eyes "Yes Gryphon you are my friend and I do know you wouldn't steal. But I also know that you ought to know better about keeping clear of Galen. You know he has it out for you. And as for you Prince. when will you lean to stop jumping to conclusions? I don't know, the pair of you make me sick. Galen I can understand you feel hurt and betrayed but it's not Gryphon's fault that your father got bored with your mother now is it?" she tried, hoping to get through to the shifter. As usual it was like addressing a brick wall. "My father did not get bored! It was his conniving viper of a mother! She bewitched him!" Galen snarled, glaring at Gryphon. "How? She a shape-shifter Galen not a witch! You just can't admit that your flawless perfect family is normal like the rest us. Mortal Galen. They breathe the same air, eat the same food, yet suddenly they're gods?" Gryphon spat back, Galen lashed out gashing the other shifter's cheek "You just don't understand and how can I expect you to, you home-wrecking bastard!" he snarled, suddenly looking really wild like he'd lost control, he wrenched free of Infinity's grip and ran. Infinity could've sworn as he fled she could see tears in those feline eyes. "Happy now?" she rounded on Gryphon. "No" the other shifter murmured quietly, looking unhappy. He took Infinity's hand pushing it away, more gently than Galen and drooping like a wilted plant left the room. "Well" said Quinn pleasantly "That went well" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------
(Author's Note: Hmm well that looks suitably long enough. Okay I promise to not update till at least Saturday now. That'll give ppl time to review more)
