Sorry for the long space between updates, but I've surpassed the normal writer's block and hit the writer's block brick wall. This might be the last chapter for a while...a long while...

Elphie Muse: Lack of reviews can do that.

Yep. So...keep an eye out for future updates, but it'll be a while most likely. For that I apologize.

Not mine, probably never will be...sigh...

Jack sighed as he stared out of the window of the rest lodge they had found. Over a week had passed since Sam's abduction and apparent death. Jack had not taken it well. He had lashed out at anyone who approached him except for Lakota. But a day after finding the lodge the wolf had run off. The ex-General sighed again and turned away from the window. He gathered up his meager supplies and left the safety of the lodge, venturing out into the frigid outside.

"I feel bad for Jack," Janet said. "He just found Sam only to lose her again."

"Has anyone seen Jack?" Aranur asked.

"Not for a while now," Gamon answered.

"There he is…" Dion slowly said. "He's being pulled…by two figures…" Dion's eyes widened. "No way!" She leapt to her feet and was out the door, Hishn close behind. It took the others a moment to follow after Hishn.

"What happened?" Gamon asked, shivering from the cold.

"We need to get him inside!" one of the figures ordered.

The group grabbed a hold of Jack and carried inside and placed him in a room near the fire. "He's too cold," Dion said.

"Stand back!" the other figure ordered in a stern voice.

"Only if you're a Healer," Dion said.

Vibrant blue eyes stared intently at Dion, flecks of yellow glinting in the firelight. "Move. Now."

Dion backed away. She reached out through her bond and felt raw, ancient power radiating from the two figures. "Let them be," she said.

The second figure knelt down next to the bed and took Jack's frostbitten hand in their own. The figure's head bowed and faint light surrounded Jack and the figure's hands. The four watched in amazement as the frostbite vanished.

"What in the name of the moons…?" Aranur said slowly.

The figure stood. "He'll be fine by morning," the figure said.

"Who…are you?" Janet asked.

The first figure came forward and lowered their cloak hood. "Name's Dakota. Dakota Carter," he said.

"Carter? As in…" Janet began.

"My twin brother," Sam said, lowering her hood as well. "Hey guys. Miss me?"

"Where the hell have you been?" Janet demanded.

"Training," Sam replied.

"Training? You nearly died! Or did you forget?" Aranur said.

Sam shrugged. "I didn't forget. But it was a necessary evil."

"Moons, you wolfwalkers are strange," Gamon muttered.

Sam sighed and looked at them. "I'm not exactly a wolfwalker anymore. Neither is my brother."

"So what are you then?" Dion asked.

"They are moonwarriors," Orlin answered.

Dion, Gamon, and Aranur stared at Sam and Dakota in shock and disbelief. " Y…you're kidding!" they exclaimed.

"That's impossible!" Dion cried. "Moonwarriors and moonmaids have violet eyes, not blue…no offense Sam."

Sam smiled. "That's what I thought too, but I was wrong. Trust me, my brother and I are moonwarriors."

"So…why are you two moonwarriors? I mean, there has to be a reason for it," Janet said thoughtfully.

"We became moonwarriors to combat the Priors and Ori," Sam said.

"Just like the Alterans over ten thousand years ago," Dakota added.

"This is…" Dion trailed off.

"Weird?" Jack supplied groggily.

"Jack!" everyone except the two Carters exclaimed.

"Nice to see you awake," Janet said.

"What hit me?" Jack asked.

"Hypothermia," Sam said gently. "Next time, go outside in a warmer coat…or better yet, stay inside and stay warm."

"Sam? But…you were…the arrow was…that thing carried…" Jack sputtered.

Sam unsuccessfully tried to hide her smile. "Just know that I'm alive, I'm fine, and I'm ready to kick Ori butt." She glared at Jack. "Now, you're going to stay in bed until Janet says you're ready to get out of bed," she ordered.

"I'm perfectly…" Jack began.

"I still have needles with me Jack," Janet said.

"…Fine to stay in bed…" he quickly amended.

"That's what I thought," Sam said, causing everyone to laugh.

Again, I apologize for lack of updating and future updates, but running into a brick wall of writer's block hurts...

Elphie Muse: I think there was some steel supports in that wall.

:Feels bump on head: That would explain things...oh well...at least a tree didn't fall on me...it just landed a dozen feet away from my house...and two limbs came down in yesterday's Fourth of July storm...

Elphie Muse: You mean two tree limbs came down?

No. I meant human limbs. Here's your sign. Yes two tree limbs came down! Along with a big a-- tree from two yards over. Cracked right down at the base of the trunk. Never even heard any of the come down too which was weird...I'm rambling aren't I?

Elphie Muse: Yes. I'll take it from here. Readers, be nice and review. Reviews might make the steel reinforced brick wall come down.
