…Tala's POV…

I lie on the cold floor of Kai's bedroom, my tail anxiously sweeping from side to side as I look out of the bedroom window, watching the cloud free skies as the moon slowly rises above a mountain peak. It's silver light slowly lights up the land and streams through the window falling on Kai asleep in his bed. I lift my head up off of my paws and watch as Kai slowly transforms from human through to his wolf form just like Ian, Spencer, Bryan and I, before them, had done on the night of our 16th birthdays. His fur shines deceivingly silver in the moonlight,though his true colour is a vibrant deep blue, like the blue of the ocean when the suns shinning. I sit up and watch as he slowly shakes his head as he to sits up; and then he's awake. I witness the sudden shock in his eyes as he catches sight of me, I guess he's probably wondering how I got in here; wolves can't climb two story buildings or open doors.

He struggles to back away from me but gets tangled in his discarded clothes and bed sheets resulting in him falling off the bed landing with a thump and a yelp. I shake my head sadly, now he's probably gone and woken the others up. I bound up onto his bed and look down at him.
"How'd you get in here?!" he barks demandingly, and I cringe wishing he'd be quiet though I guess the shock of me being here has taken his mind off of what he's become so far, when he realises that he'll probably make enough noise to wake Tyson.
"Kai? Kai are you ok?"
I snarl slightly at the sound and smell of Kai's nekojin team member before quickly bounding off the bed and towards the door, transforming into my human form just in time to turn the lock. I sigh in relief as I stand up listening to sound of Rei trying to open the door in vain. I turn around and see Kai sitting against the wall just staring at me, I blush slightly as I remember I'm still in my human form; at least he's shut up.

I walk to the window quickly opening it up allowing the cool breeze of the outside world to flow in.
"Kai, we've got to go!" I tell him, watching as he stands on his four paws. I don't know if he fully knows what's happening or what I said but he manages to jump up through the open window and into the roof. I climb out after him, watching as he runs and leaps off the roof landing clumsily in the deep snow below; I guess he hasn't got used to the feel of four legs. I jump down after him landing in human form before quickly changing into my wolf and I hit the snow running down into the valley as fast as I can, barking out at Kai for him to follow me. I want to reach the cave where the others are before he snaps out of the shock and risks transforming back into a human out here in the snow. I reach the stream using the flat rock as a ramp allowing me to jump across it; I pause only momentarily to make sure Kai's still following me. He is and I keep running.

…Kai's POV…

I'm running, running with the golden-bronze wolf from my dreams yet this is no dream, the snow's to cold, to wet for it to be a dream. I don't know what's happened one minute I'm asleep the next I'm awake the wolfs there then Tala's there and… I shake my head it's all to confusing. I skid to a halt as we enter a cave only to suddenly find myself surrounded by three other wolfs, I shrink away from them not fully understanding the barks and whines coming from them.
"Give him some room!"
The voice, its Tala's andI turn around but I don't see Tala, only the golden-bronze wolf; it all makes sense. Why I saw the wolf, why it was gone why Tala was standing naked in its place, when I saw it in the woods why I found Tala's clothes. Tala's the wolf… they…I look around at the other three, Bryan, Spencer and even Ian they're also wolves.

"Tala…" I whisper softly but I know it would, to any other onlooker, come out as some form of whine or bark for I too am one of them.
"You… you knew… you knew this was going to happen to me…" I pant, I don't understand all this time why couldn't he…
"Why didn't you tell me!" I snarl at him, but I suddenly hear growling all around me andIspin around, the other three wolves surround me, their hackles raised fangs bared and suddenly I feel as small as any hare; I'm about to die.
"Back down!" I hear Tala order, in a low menacing growl, and I'm suddenly full of relief then suddenly I'm cold and realise I'm no longer a wolf but a human once more.

…Normal. POV…

Kai looked down at his naked body quickly trying to cover himself only to find Tala, also in human form, drawing him into the welcoming warmth of his arms. Tala leant against the cold stone wall as he sat at the back of the cave his arms wrapped protectively around the younger boy as he tried to keep him from freezing; he would have been better off in his wolf form but what's done is done.
"Bryan? Spencer? Ian? You're all the wolves… I've dreamt about you for so long…" Kai mumbled form where he was in Tala's arms, "how? Why? Why did this…" He began but Tala silenced him.
"All will be explained soon enough, but first we need to get you to calm down and become a wolf again; unless you want to freeze to death here," Tala told him standing up.
