Shanna awoke early the next morning to find that during the night Scott had moved her onto his lap and she was now leaning up against his chest, facing him. She then vaguely remembered the dream she had had last night and waking up to Scott during it. She turned her head around to see the two pups play-fighting and barking at each other. She smiled and got up slowly, so she wouldn't wake Scott.
She crawled over to the pups and said with a smile, "Where is Chrystal hm? Did she bring you two breakfast?"
Then, as if to answer her question, the two pups ran over and started to gnaw on a dead rabbit. Shanna gave the rabbit a disgusted look and then watched the pups go to play again. The two played with each other for a while until the girl pup noticed Scott sleeping. She walked over to him and started to sniff his hand.
The male gave a low bark in protest and growled a little. The girl turned to him and gave him a high-pitched, playful bark that caused the boy to give in and trot slowly over to him. Shanna watched in amusement at the way the gray pup seemed to persuade her brother to investigate. The black pup sniffed Scott's hand and then went around to the rock he was leaning against and jumped. His front paws made it onto the small boulder but his back didn't seem to want to cooperate, causing him to topple over onto his back. The pups stubbornness and determination pushed him on to try again. This time both his front paws made it to the top of the rock and his back two helped him to climb the rest of the way up. Soon, he was followed by his sister who took an almighty leap and landed almost all the way up and was pushed by her back paws onto the boulder followed him. The black one started to sniff Scott's hair while stretching from the edge of the boulder to reach. His sister decided to help and ended up bumping her brother and causing him to put his front paws on top of Scott's head. Shanna snorted as Scott jumped and the pup toppled over and into Scott's lap. The gray pup began barking playfully at the now, fully awake version of Scott.
Scott looked into his arms to see the black pup gazing up at him with a look of pure terror. Scott smiled and rolled the pup onto his feet and put him on the ground so that he was able to get away. However, the pup just turned back to him and stared curiously at him. Shanna just sat laughing at him as he stared strait back. Soon the stare was interrupted by the other pup jumping onto Scott and falling into his lap just as the other had.
Shanna sat there laughing at the 3 as Scott stared at the pups and then to Shanna "Look's like you got over that dream huh?" he asked after putting the other pup back down.
She smiled a little and walked over to him. "I've had worse." She said.
"How is that a good thing?" he asked frowning at her comment.
"It's good because it means that last night's wasn't that bad." She said.
A second later she was by his side and she kissed him on the cheek. He turned to her with a mischievous smirk.
"Is that it?" He asked putting on a hurt face.
She gave him a stubborn look and crossed her arms "All you're getting for now."
"Oh really?"
"I said so didn-" she was cut off by him pulling her into his lap and kissing her on the lips.
When he finally released her she smiled at him and laughed a little. They sat there just staring for a while when suddenly Shanna's cross began to glow.
"Oh no." she muttered and got off of Scott's lap reluctantly.
"What?" he asked obviously confused that her cross would be glowing when nothing was happening.
Shanna didn't answer but stared around and saw that the pups had both stopped and started to stare in the same direction. The bushes rustled telling them that there was definitely something back there. The bushes rustled roughly and two figures fell to the ground, growling and tearing at each other's fur. The two pups scattered in different directions and went into hiding while the two creatures began to fight fiercely. Finally they broke apart and stood, lowering their necks and revealing Chrystal, the pure white wolf, and another, greasy black wolf.
"Demon." Shanna whispered to Scott who had stood up and come beside her.
Suddenly the black wolf, otherwise known as Demon, noticed her and turned to her instead of Chrystal. Shanna sent a glare to him and he returned it by baring his teeth and growling at her, keeping his neck lowered. Suddenly it let out a bark and its face seemed to move in a specific way. Its right ear turned toward Chrystal as she began to growl, but kept its focus on Shanna.
Once again he made movement with his face and let out a low growl followed by a low bark.
"I wasn't sure if you understood human language. You seem to want to kill them instead of learning their ways." she said, apparently to Demon.
At this Chrystal moved to Shanna's other side and glared at Demon as Scott watched the two curiously.
The wolf took a step toward her while growling but halted when he saw that the glow of Shanna's cross became brighter.
"You attack, and you'll be attacked." She informed the wolf.
Scott stepped closer to the wolf, forcing Demon to look at him instead.
"Scott, no. Don't, this is between me and him." She said, worry completely detectable in her voice.
A sort of triumph came over Demon's face and he started slowly toward Scott who didn't budge. Shanna bit her lip.
"Demon! Too afraid to confront the one with the power so you decide to go for someone she loves? Not only is that plain out stupid, but it's something more of a wimp- a stupid wimp would do." she stood there hoping this would keep him away from Scott. A second later she knew it wouldn't so She grabbed Scott's hand.
Suddenly Scott felt a surge of. something. He didn't know what it was but it made him feel connected to Shanna more than ever.
"Scott." he heard a voice in his head.
He turned to see Shanna clutching her cross and glaring at Demon. He then turned to Chrystal and saw that she was the one staring at him.
"Scott, I know you want to help Shanna but you MUST let her do this on her own. this is one of the few times that I'll say this, but you need to listen. Shanna has to get this done. And the reason I can speak to you like this now is because you tried to save her, one of the few things that can trigger the power that you may share with Shanna." with that she turned away, ready to face Demon again.
Scott didn't spend another second staring at Chrystal but turned his gaze to Demon, whom he could also hear.
"Humans like you should not enter this forest! It belongs to me! I control everything that happens here and that will not change!" he hissed to Shanna who didn't seem to falter one bit with her words.
"I have been told by every creature I've met so far that in one way or another you've ruined their lives! I will not let you continue to destroy things the way you have started. At least, not without a fight!"
"A fight? You think fighting me will solve your problem? Well then I've got some disturbing news for you. I cannot die! I am the shape shifter born to this forest and raised by the creatures that knew none but ridicule! They were shunned away because they were said to be no more powerful than any other in the forest. I will not live the way they had and I will not let you stop me!" by now Demon was pacing in front of them back and forth, keeping his steely gaze upon Shanna.
"Oh boo-hoo you've got me into tears now. Look demon, I happen to know that there are more creatures here that have it worse than you. I also happen to know that you may not be killed but you may be injured enough for my satisfaction." With that she finished, keeping her eyes to him while he stopped in front of her, and got into the position ready to pounce.
She just stood while Scott remembered his orders from Chrystal. Though it was hard, Scott watched Demon pounce toward Shanna, only to be deflected by her blue shield.
"Too afraid to fight so you protect yourself with a shield? How pitiful" he snarled.
Shanna just put the shield down and closed her eyes. The next moment there was a small, but loud bark and the black pup came out with his neck low and his teeth bared. It approached Demon slowly, as if challenging it to try an attack.
"You set a pup on me? A pup!" the wolf said with insane amusement in his voice.
"Look closer Demon, this isn't just any pup, this is the pup who's mother you killed." She hissed keeping her gaze between them.
"I killed all the pups. There is no way that this pup survived." He said suddenly trying to hide his astonishment.
"Not only did he survive, but his sister did also." She said with a smile crossing her face. Within half a second his sister was beside him acting in the same way.
"How?" is all that Demon could get out.
"I'm not sure, but I do know that they are severely pissed at you." Shanna said with a smirk.
"And that does what to me? They are only pups they have no way to hurt me." Demon said smirking, (as much as a wolf can smirk anyway) that is until his saw the smile still on Shanna's face.
"Luckily, they are very good at convincing their fellow pack members to help them." And with that comment at least a dozen other wolves came from the bushes and approached Demon in the same fashion as the pups.
Even though Demon tried to hide it the fear was easily visible in his eyes.
"You see, Demon, unlike you, I have some friends who are willing to help me stop you." Shanna said over the growls of the pack.
Demon glanced hurriedly around and then shot a glare to Shanna before he shifted. He turned himself into a crow and took off into the sky without another word. Each and every wolf seized their growls and calmed down. Shanna sighed and her shoulders drooped as the glow that has formed itself around her faded. Scott walked quickly over to her and put his arm around her for support. By now she looked ready to pass out. He guided her over to the rock and sat her down.
"Damn." she muttered. "I never knew that if I held the power like that without using it, it could take so much outa me."
Scott pulled her back to lean on him "That was incredible." he whispered to her.
She smiled. The pack of wolves gathered together for a moment, and then made their way over to Shanna with the pups ahead of them. What looked to be the pack leader nudged the pups and they stumbled over to Shanna and Scott. The black one walked slowly toward Scott, eyeing him in a different way. Shanna stared, trying to smile even though she was so weak.
"Shanna," the leader began. "We would highly appreciate it if you took Zeus and Jade in." he nodded to each of the pups.
Neither of the pups seemed to object as Shanna stared at them. "Are you sure?" she said in barely a whisper, but the wolf heard.
"Yes. We feel that it would be good for them to stay with you as it seems that you will have no problem protecting them."
Shanna smiled and merely nodded, unable to summon her voice back up. She closed her eyes almost asleep. The wolf nodded and left with the pack leaving the pups with her. Zeus stared up at Scott wonderingly.
"Yes?" Scott said quietly so not to disturb Shanna.
"He's trying to say he's sorry." Shanna whispered. She had opened her eyes to look down at the pups.
Scott smiled "There's nothing to be sorry for. Now shhh." He said first to Zeus and then to Shanna.
Jade tugged on Zeus' ear and they went to play again.
Anyonka's POV
She awoke looking over to where James had been laying the night before but he was nowhere to be seen.
"James? James, where are you?" she called, but there was no answer.
"Keese" she called. Her black coyote came to her side. "Where's Shanna?"
The coyote took of at a fast pace deep into the woods. Anya ran at a swift pace, her feet not making any sound as she ran, barefoot on the hard leaf- covered ground.
She must have been running for a half hour. She soon came to a clearing where she saw Scott sitting on a rock next to a big oak tree. He looked up at her his light blue eyes twinkling.
"Scott, we have a problem. James is missing, he was with me last night but when I woke up he wasn't there and I called for him but I got no answer!" tears we starting to form in her eyes.
Scott looked at her, he knew how she felt. He walked over to her and griped her in a tight hug. Tears were streaming down her cheeks now. She was so worried about James if anything happened to him she would never be able to live a normal life again. Scott's grip on her tightened a bit then he let her go and looked at her. " We've got to tell Shanna"
Anya wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. "Like she would care. She doesn't care about me or James! All she cares about is herself, besides she's still so mad at me and I'm still mad at her for reading my diary."
"Anya, you are way out of your league, Shanna cares about you and James both! You have been acting so selfish lately I'm surprised she's still talking to you at all!" he walked over and sat down on the rock he was sitting on.
"Fine I'll tell her but she's probable not going to listen anyway." She said kind of sadly.
The two of them headed back into the woods in search of Shanna. Scott was in lead and Anya and her coyote followed silently behind him. They got to a closed in clearing where Shanna was sitting and drawing in her book. Next to her where the two wolf pups. She looked up from her drawing when they entered the clearing. Her eyes still a dimly lit blue. Anya could tell she was still mad. "What do you want Anya?!"
"Look I'm sorry Shan, but I had to do what I had to do, besides what I do in my personal life is none of your business. You had no right to read my diary and you know it! Also I have something to tell you." Anya said.
"What?" Shanna said a little impatient.
Tears started streaming down her cheeks again, "James is missing!"
Shanna's glare didn't completely disappear but her look softened.
"Didn't you two leave together, and no doubt sleep together?" She snarled.
"Y-yes, but he was gone when I woke up. Look Shanna, I'm sorry I didn't tell you that you were my sister, but we need to sort our difference and put them behind us. One of our friends is missing and for all you know he could've been taken by Voldemort. So what do you say?" Anya replied, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Shanna glared for a few moments before letting her gaze set into impassive mode. "Fine, whatever. I don't feel like being mad at the moment anyway. Did you check if he left anything for you to find?" She asked.
"Well, no." Anya replied.
"Idiot. Don't you ever use common sense?" Shanna sighed.
"Well sorry but I was to busy worried out of my mind to do anything" she cried
Shanna rolled her eyes. "Fine. Did he, like, say anything that you might remember about him leaving?"
Anya thought, but she doesn't remember anything "no, I mean I was asleep so I wouldn't remember."
"Anya, dreams? Hello I mean remember who you are. Don't you think that maybe he might have said something to you while you were asleep, thinking that you would dream or something?"
"Well I had the same dream I've had since I came here, the dream about the white wolf, but that's it." She replied.
Shanna's shoulders stiffened at the mention of the white wolf but ignored it. "Well try an think about it."
"No that's the only dream I had I know it because I have the same dream every night creepy really" She shudders.
She sighed. "Fine, then all we can do is go back there."
"ok, I sure as hell hope he's ok or Voldemort is gonna get his ass kicked!" She yelled
Shanna groaned. "Voldemort isn't the only danger here, Anya." She paused for a second, deep ion thought.
"Shanna" Scott whispered.
"Hm?" She closed her eyes for a few seconds.
Crystal came bounding up to her then immediately began to sniff around.
"What the-?!" Anya exclaimed. "That's-that's the wo-"
"Yeah I know." Shanna said calmly "She's searching for James."
Anya gaped at her. How could she be so calm about it? "Shanna, it doesn't seem like u care about finding him!"
"No Anya, I just have a way of staying calm in these kind of situations." She replied.
"Ok well whatever, lets go back to where I last saw him," she said.
"Fine" she said.
The three of them headed back to the clearing to where James had been the night before. When they got there the blanket was still laying the way she left it. Her backpack still lay on the ground next to the rock. But there was something different about it. There was something missing. His wand, it was laying on the blanket next to her backpack. She looked at Shanna, "look there's his wand, he wouldn't go anywhere without it. Can u explain that? Why is his wand here?"
Did something happen to him? Did Voldemort take him? She started to cry again but she hid it from Shanna and Scott.
"Well that's weird Anya, but maybe he forgot it or something?" she said calmly.
"FORGOT IT!? Are you serious?! James is the kind of person who doesn't forget anything ever!" Anya shouted.
"I guess so, especially in the forest." She said thoughtfully. She wasn't really trying to upset her, but given past events she wasn't trying to prevent it either.
~*~* Well that's it for this chapter! I know it's been an extremely long time but I've been working on other stories and trying to get yet another one started, I just have too many disorganized ideas for my little brain*~*~

Shanna's shoulders stiffened at the mention of the white wolf but ignored it. "Well try an think about it."
"No that's the only dream I had I know it because I have the same dream every night creepy really" She shudders.
She sighed. "Fine, then all we can do is go back there."
"ok, I sure as hell hope he's ok or Voldemort is gonna get his ass kicked!" She yelled
Shanna groaned. "Voldemort isn't the only danger here, Anya." She paused for a second, deep ion thought.
"Shanna" Scott whispered.
"Hm?" She closed her eyes for a few seconds.
Crystal came bounding up to her then immediately began to sniff around.
"What the-?!" Anya exclaimed. "That's-that's the wo-"
"Yeah I know." Shanna said calmly "She's searching for James."
Anya gaped at her. How could she be so calm about it? "Shanna, it doesn't seem like u care about finding him!"
"No Anya, I just have a way of staying calm in these kind of situations." She replied.
"Ok well whatever, lets go back to where I last saw him," she said.
"Fine" she said.
The three of them headed back to the clearing to where James had been the night before. When they got there the blanket was still laying the way she left it. Her backpack still lay on the ground next to the rock. But there was something different about it. There was something missing. His wand, it was laying on the blanket next to her backpack. She looked at Shanna, "look there's his wand, he wouldn't go anywhere without it. Can u explain that? Why is his wand here?"
Did something happen to him? Did Voldemort take him? She started to cry again but she hid it from Shanna and Scott.
"Well that's weird Anya, but maybe he forgot it or something?" she said calmly.
"FORGOT IT!? Are you serious?! James is the kind of person who doesn't forget anything ever!" Anya shouted.
"I guess so, especially in the forest." She said thoughtfully. She wasn't really trying to upset her, but given past events she wasn't trying to prevent it either.
~*~* Well that's it for this chapter! I know it's been an extremely long time but I've been working on other stories and trying to get yet another one started, I just have too many disorganized ideas for my little brain*~*~
