Plase don't skip over this chapter. I have added new stuff to it.

Wolf in Me: Chapter 5
Sunute the Demi-Goddess

It was cold, which was kind of odd; his room was usually pretty warm. And there was something poking him, just under his chin. He growled and swatted it away, only to have to return, this time it was poking his stomach. He groaned and rolled over, burying her face in the furs. He sat up right, this was his room, he dint have any furs! Memories - fox attacking, Henry fighting - all came rushing back to him.

Will threw off the furs covering him and found his wounds had been healed, leaving only a small scar. He whipped his head around, and spotted Henry only a few feet from him; still human. He rushed over to him, ignoring the slight dizziness from the fast movement. He check Henry once over, and found his wounds were also healed. His breath was coming out slow and even, and his pulse was strong. Both of them where still alive, but how? Where were they?

A low whimpering sounded behind him and he whipped his head around, but he relaxed. A small fox kit, not even a month old, was huddled in the corner of - now he semi-knew where they were - the cave. He smiled and crouched down to its level; "Come here boy, come on. I'm not going to hurt you." The kit wined but started to him, slowly, afraid of him. "Come on, it's ok."

He was only a foot away from here, and reluctant to go any further. Will smiled and held out his hand, slowly, as to not to scare him. The kit leaned as far as he could to sniff it, but he was just too small. He landed muzzle landed on the ground. The pup yipped and Will laughed, scooping him up in his arms. He squirmed for a moment, but he nuzzled him, and he calmed down. This was pure instinct to him, but he knew it was right. The kit barked and licked his face, sending Will in a fit of giggles.

"I see my kit likes you."

Will looked behind him and gasped. He let the kit go and scrambled over to Henry, putting himself between him and the beast this time; "Please don't hurt us."

The fox seemed to frown, "I am sorry if I have scared you. I will not harm you."

"But you attacked us! Why didn't you just finish us?"

"Look closer, boy!" The fox snapped back, a hint of growl in her voice.

Will did look closer. The same orange-red fur sent chills down his spine, but the one tail that twitched back and fourth allowed him to relax, "Sorry, I thought you were the one that attacked us." He sat down beside Henry's sleeping body, ready to spring just in case.

The fox kit barked and happily trotted over to Will's lap, as if the anger and fear in the air was nothing to him.

The larger fox laughed, "I am sorry if my kit is bothering you. He has always been the curious of the bunch."

Will smiled and ran a hand down the kit's fur, "He is not bothering me. What about the other fox? The one with the two tails?"

The fox growled, "That bastard of a demi-god thinks he is better than the rest of us. He sees humans as inferior beings, and wants to kill them all."

Will's eyes widened in surprise, "You're a demi-god?"

The fox smiled and bowed, "Sunute of the fox demi-gods. It is a pleasure to meet you…"

"Will."

"Will. And what of the man behind you. He is a - oh what do humans call them - werewolf?"

Will nodded, "Henry. He has been in wolf form for the past few days, it seemed like his wolf had taken over. But now, he is human."

"Ah, that is a mystery."

Will nodded and looked at Sunute, "Thank you for healing us. As soon as I can find our partners, we can destroy the other demi-god."

Sunute bowed again, "Thank you. I would do it myself, but taking care of my family is preoccupying."

Will nodded. He just had to find a way to contact Helen and Ashley first, and he had left everything back at the campsite.

A low groan startled him out of his thoughts and he jumped around; "Henry?"

"S'my name. Don't ware it out."

Will laughed and ran a calming hand through the werewolf's hair, "How are you feeling."

Henry groaned and his eyes fluttered open, "Like I was hit by a train. How bad am I?"

"Not even as close as you feel. Henry, do you remember what happened?"

Henry's eyes looked into Will's, "I'm sorry."

"What for?"

"What for? I could have killed you!"

Will blinked in surprise, "But you didn't! And you saved my life!"

"Look at me, I'm a monster Will. I could hurt you, and anyone else in the Sanctuary."

Will scowled and got up, walking out of the cave. The pain in his heart tightens with each step. He presses his right hand just slightly above his heart to will the pain away, but it refuses to leave. He knows that the pain is not physical and cannot be removed so easily, he also knows that he lost something very important – probably the most important thing – in his shattered life. Henry was the most important thing to him, and Henry had rejected him.

It was morning, if he could guess by the sun, around seven. The cave was on top of a small slope, looking out into the forest. It was cool and the tattered clothes he wore didn't help matters, but he wouldn't move.

"Excuse me."

Will blinked and looked down. A small fox, though taller than most normal fox's, sat in front of him, a package on the ground; "Hi there."

The small fox yipped and nudged the package with his nose, "Mama said to give this to you. She also sent my sisters to find your partners."

He smiled and bent down, and patted the fox's head, "Thank you." The fox nodded and scampered into the cave.

The small package held a new shirt and a heavy winter coat. He grinned and slipped his ruined shirt on and slipped the new one on along with the coat. They both fit perfectly, even if the coat was a little to big.

"I see they fit."

Will yelped and jumped around, his heart pounding. A women, looking no more in her twenties, stood at the entrance of the cave. Her orange hair was held up in a high pony tail, and it seemed to shine in the morning light. She held sky blue eyes and three whisker marks adorned each cheek. She wore a simple out fit of black baggy pants and a red t-shirt.

Will frowned, "Sunute?

Sunute nodded and grinned, showing off sharp canines, "Yes, it is I. Demi-gods have human forms too, and I rather like my human form."

Will nodded and went back to watching the landscape around him, "How many kids do you have? The one that gave me clothing talked about more."

Sunute walked up and stood beside him, "I have four kits: two daughters and two sons. We can only have one, maybe two, kits at a time."

"Can any of them change into their human forms."

Sunute shook her head, "It will be centuries before they learn how to achieve their human forms. Although my oldest is showing signs of transformation."

Will nodded. He was curious about demi-gods, as he had never met one, but he had one question that he wanted answered, but was afraid to ask.

As if she could read his mind she spoke, "I know you are curious about my mate. He died many years ago, when he fought with Lakuta, the evil demi-god you and your mate fought."

Will frowned, "He isn't my mate."

"Oh. Do you want him to be?"

Will blushed and shook his head, "No."

Sunute laughed, "Even a human can tell you are lying."

Will sighed and he gazed out with unseeing eyes, "When I first met Henry, I was shy. I mean, I had just found out that abnormals existed and my boss kept on introducing me to very one, my head was spinning. But when we became closer, I knew something was different. I wanted to be friends with him, and I wanted to get close to him. Every time he smiled or laughed, I wanted to do something to make him smile again. When he was sad I wanted to hold him and make her feel better. I had this need to be with him.

I put these feelings off, thinking it was just a reaction to having a close friend. But when I saw Henry stuck in his wolf form, and being attacked, those feeling were there, stronger than ever. I think I love him. But I know he doesn't like me in the same way."

"You never know."

Will blinked and looked at the demi-goddess, "What?"

Sunute didn't answer, but nodded to the forest, "Your friends are here."

Will ignored Sunute's statement about Henry and turned to the forest. Indeed, it seemed, the daughters of the demi-goddess had found Helen and Ashley.

"Will!" Ashley yelled and before he could even say hi, he was knocked over by said blond. "Are you alright?"

Will groaned, "Will be if I could breath."

Ashley laughed and got off of him, "Sorry."

"That's alright," Ashley laughed again and helped him on his feet.

Helen reached out and laid a hand on his shoulder, "Are you sure your alright?"

Will nodded, "Sunute helped us. Henry's ok too, and he's human again."

Ashley's grin widened and she ran past Will into the cave, obviously going to pounce on Henry this time. Helen shook her head and looked past Will to see Sunute looking between the cave and the humans in front of her.

She looked at Will and raised an eyebrow, "You have a lot to tell us."

Will nodded and looked back at the cave, where Sunute was waving them in, "Yeah, it's going to take a while."

Will shifted uncomfortably. It wasn't that his seat was uncomfortable - on the contrary, the furs where quite warm - it was just the Sunute had placed him beside Henry. He glared at her back as she cooked some meat.

"Why don't we start with you guys first," Helen suggested as she played with the youngest kit.

Will nodded, "After we split up, Henry and I managed to get within a few hours walk of the town before it was dark. I set up the tent and Henry had gone to bed. I couldn't sleep so I began to read a bit from the journal. I don't know how long had passed, but sometime during the night, a sharp cry echoed outside the tent. Henry got up and wanted to investigate and I went with him.

One of us should have seen it, or something. But one minute I was standing beside Henry looking out into the darkness and the next I was on my back and a large fox - a demi-god - was on top of me. It had bitten into my shoulder and his claws had dug into my side.

The fox didn't even notice Henry, so Henry had the advantage of attacking it. The two attacked each other, and Henry followed the fox as it tried to escape. I followed them and I found Henry, bleeding on the forest floor; human. I thought he was dead."

Will spoke the last part so softly, Helen almost didn't hear it. She laid a comforting hand on his; "What happened next?"

"I found them," Sunute spoke as she set a leaf of cooked meat between the group. "Everything in this world gives off an aura. When I felt Lakuta's - the demi-god that attacked them - aura so close to my home, I went to investigate. I found them and brought them back here."

"What about this Lakuta? Is he around here?" Ashley piped up.

Sunute shook her head and sat down beside Will, "He is either not around or he is hiding his aura very well."

"What did you guys find out?" Henry asked, almost scaring Will. The werewolf had been quiet this whole time; staring and picking at his food.

"The man we talked to didn't have much information. He just said he saw the fox while hunting."

Ashley rubbed her nose, "What unnerved me was that that the whole place smelled like blood."

Sunute frowned, "What did he look like?"

"He had orange hair and really dark eyes. They might have been black," Ashley shivered. "They were really creepy."

Sunute growled, "Damn, I should have known."

"What is it?" Will asked.

"It seems like the idiot is posing as a human. The blood you smelled was probably human."

Ashley pounded her fist on the floor, "Damnit! We could have had him!"

Helen put a hand on her shoulder, "Ashley, we didn't know."

"Then what are we going to do? We left the camp behind and I don't know if it is still intact."

Helen nodded, "That's alright, we have all the firepower in our bags. We're going to have to set a trap, something that will draw his attention."

"He loves the smell of human blood," Sunute interrupted.

"Human blood it is. We can set up a few spring traps, and if that doesn't work, hopefully the fire power will."

"I am sorry I am to of no use," Sunute said and bowed to the group.

Will laid a hand on hers, "It is alright. You have a family you need to take care of."

"Then it's settled then. We will head out tomorrow."
