CJ: Yeah and stop singing with your headphones on. No one else can hear the song and you look like an idiot.
Fred:I tried to kill the pain, but only brought more
I lay dying and I'm pouring crimson regret and betyal
I'm dying, praying, bleeding and screaming
Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I too lost?

Ari tried to control her rising panic. Her heart thumped, painfully, against her chest. The wolf stone pulsed, reacting to her distress. Frost pressed against her pack mate's side.
'Tell her. She derserves to know.' the mistwolf said.
"Yeah. Please don't tell anyone. They can't know. Time travel is dangerous and should never be attempted." Ari said, mentaly smaking her head for sounding like a teacher, "What I mean is that if anyone else knows, then things are gonna be really screwed up. You need to find the unic- the creature that came through the protal."
"How- Never mind. So, are you joining me?" Emily asked.
"Of course. Consider me a bodyguard. Sort of." the future warrior laughed. Her jewel shimmered, content with it's user's happiness.
"Can I see your gem?" the healer asked.
"Sure."
Ari held out her hand to Emily. The red-haired girl scrutinized the wolf stone. It glowed in response to the rainbow jewel. Silver fire snaked down the mages arms, filling them with the mistwolves calmness. It also sent images to the healer.
-VISION-
A young girl cried as another mistwolf was dragged in, snarling. The mutant fairy created a sword out of dark magic and stabbed the wolf. Howling, the mistwolf exploded into mist that focased into the wolf stone. The girl screamed, her voice craking before her head fell, limply.
"Only one more my little warrior. And a pup. Not much magic wrench." the evil being cackled.

The girl pulled her wrists out of the metal bonds. Her arms were coated with blood as she fled from her prison cell. She ran, feeling that her heart would break.
A low howl alerted her. She turned into a glass room. A pup stared at her with ice blue eyes. It's coat was grayish white and the wolf looked like it hadn't eating in days.
'Pack mate.' the wolf said, placing her paws on the crystal cage. The girl felt a bond forming. She whipped fire at the glass prison, shattering instantly. The pup walked up to her, soft fur rippling with magic.
'Sister?' the wolf asked.
"No. I'm the murderer of your family."
'Pack mates. Now and forever.' the pup said, touching her nose to the wolf stone. Silver light flowed down the mistwolf, turning her white-blue. Deep aches were healed and fear was replaced with love.
"What's your name?" the girl asked, running her hands through soft, white fur.
'Frostfire. Pack mates call Frost.' the wolf barked, looking into eyes that changed to the same hue as her own. now the two were twin souls, the last mistwolfs.
"I'm Arianna. That is the name I hear in my dreams. I lost my family too." the girl said, her newly blued eyes darkening into a deep shade of violet, before returning back.
'Ari, let's run.' Frost barked, wagging her tail.
Girl and wolf began running, bound together forever.

"Somethin's coming, mum." a little red-haired girl said to a woman with hair like flames. The woman looked up with brown eyes a squinted at the silvery mass approaching.
"Emma, get the others and tell them to go down in the safe house." the woman told her daughter. The girl nodded and raced off to tell her friends.
"Emily! What's up?" an tubby elf asked as he jogged to his friend. A red-gold stone glowed on his wrist. (A/N: Hey, everyone else changes, why not Ozzie?)
"See that foggy stuff. I'm getting familiar magic that I haven't felt in over a decade." Emily said. Her heart was having a frenzy, beating rapidly.
"Mistwolves? Can't be. The witch killed them a while after Adriane." Ozzie said. His black-brown eyes were concentrated on the distance.
"I'm going to try something." The healer let her head fall back and howled. It was rusty, seeing she hadn't been around wolves for a long time, but it did the trick, the mist was heading towards them. Two howls cut through the growing silence.
"Two mistwolves? I doubt the witch would let that much magic go." Ozzie said. He was growing nervous. Something didn't seem right. But he would worry later, the fog had arrived, forming two figures. A girl around ten and a puppy.
"My god. It's really a mistwolf." Emily said, stepping forward. The girl had different plans. She lept forward, snarling.
"Stay away from her!" she yelled, silver fire springing from the stone at her wrist.
"Emily, look at the girl's stone. It's the wolf stone." Ozzie said.
"Can't be. It's immposible. That baby died." the woman said.
"Stop talking about me like I'm not here! I am real, you know! Flesh and blood!" the girl growled. The adults noticed that her arms were coated in blood.
"Oh my god! Let me help you!" Emily said, springing forward, healing stone raised. The wolf pup took this as an attack. It snarled, growling low in it's throat.
'Stay away pack mate!' it screamed, forcing Ozzie and Emily to cover their ears, 'Sister no hurt!'
"We won't hurt you! We want to help!" Emily said, sending healing magic to wash over the two younger ones. She felt warrior magic pulsing through the girl like a river. A deep conection to mistwolves was practically written on her forehead.
"We knew your mother. We were her friends and we want to be yours." the healer said, holding out her hand.
The dark- haired girl hesitated, but placed her hand in the womans. Emily felt such aching sadness, but a single ray of help, the last mistwolf and the last mistwolf mage, bonded forever.
"See. We don't want to hurt you. Would you like to meet your brother?" Ozzie asked. The girl cocked her head.
"Who are you?" she asked back.
"I'm Emily and this is Ozzie. What are your names?" the red- haired woman inquired.
"Ari. Arianna. And my pack mate, Frostfire." the young mage said. The wolf stone at her wrist pulsed pure wolf magic. Silver fire flowed over Emily and Ozzie. The elf laughed.
"God I've missed feeling the power of wolf fire. So, you wanna meet your brother, Zan?"
"Uh. What you think, Frost?" Ari asked the white wolf.
'Seem nice. I with you.' the pup said, bumping against her sister's side.
"I'll go. I'm gone if you pull anything." the girl growled. Smiling, woman and elf led their friend's daughter home to Ravenswood.
-END VISION-
Emily blinked. Ari was still smiling as if memories of her past hadn't just come flowing out of her magic. The healer realized that all of the things she had seen had taken up two or three seconds. The older girl didn't even know.
'What is it, healer?' Frostfire's voice asked in her mind. All Emily could see was the frightened girl and lonely wolf pup protecting her new pack mate.
"Nothing. Thought I felt some wild magic, but I don't feel anything anymore. Must have been my imagination." the red-head quickly lied.
'Trust what you feel. Instincts will never lead you wrong. I should know. I had to teach and learn at the same time.' the white wolf laughed, azure eyes dancing playfully.
Ari scowled, "You're making me sound like I didn't know about all that stuff, which I did. You were the dumb one, never having anyone but me to bug."
Emily laughed, though her eyes were dark. She was scared. Was what she had seen really their future? Were Emily and Ozzie the only ones around to raise their's and their friend's kids? Ari's years with the 'witch' seemed like more than anyone could handle. Seeing mistwolves killed and then forced to take their magic, their very soul, was horrible. The healer shuddered and touched her rainbow gem, pulling out all the courage she had kept dormant. She was going to need it.
