Here is chapter 2! Sorry it took so long, all of my professors decided to bombard me with homework. Enjoy and as always, R and R!

Raven returned to Gilneas about a week after his encounter with Keira. He told the strange story to all of his worgen buddies but they had just laughed at him, said the night elf was just a figment of his imagination. Three months passed this way and it got to the point where even Raven did not believe himself but the image of the hunter waving goodbye refused to fade.

Raven was sitting in a tavern alone, a mug of good beer in one paw. For the past week he had been getting restless. It was high time he went out and stretched his legs again. He was feeling bold, partially cause of the alcohol in his veins, so maybe he would go check out the walls of Stormwind. He had not been there since the day he was changed for obvious reasons. He would not be able to go inside of the city this time, of course. That would be suicide. The image of the night elf flickered before his eyes and he shook his head to get rid of it. It was a vast world and the chances of them ever meeting again were small, maybe even non-existent.

A large paw landed on top of Raven's shoulder and he looked up to see a light brown worgen grinning at him. His friend Bane was slightly shorter than Raven and not nearly as muscular because he didn't like to fight unless he had to.

"Yo, Raven. Drinking alone again? Or maybe you are thinking about a certain pretty night elf?"

"Shut up, Bane."

His friend settled down on the stool next to him.

"No need to be grouchy, Raven. You know I'm only kidding since said night elf doesn't exist."

"You're asking for me to hit you."

Bane quickly raised his hands up. Raven wasn't sure if it was to shield him if Raven did decide to hit him or if it was a sign of peace.

"Now, now. Calm down. Listen, I've noticed that you're getting that cramped feeling again so I was wondering if you would let me join you on your next excursion."

Raven almost choked on his beer, spitting it out in an amber spray.

"Why would you wanna go with me?"

"You're not the only one who doesn't like sitting around Gilneas for too long, you know. "

Raven sighed, "listen, Bane. I don't think you want to go with me. I plan on going near Stormwind."

Bane's eyes narrowed. "Do you have a death wish or something? You know it's practically suicide going by those human walls."

"I know it but I'm feeling brave."

"This isn't because of the night elf, is it? Just because you may have found one person who doesn't hate worgen doesn't mean you will be lucky enough to find another one. I'm worried about you and your fantasies, Raven."

Raven punched Bane hard in the shoulder. "I did not imagine her up, Bane. Nor am I depressed or on drugs, which is what everyone around me seems to think and probably why you asked to tag along with me."

Bane rubbed at his wounded shoulder. "You didn't have to punch me… I will admit me and some of the others are worried for you. I'm really worried now that you told me about your plans so now I need to go. Someone has to save your furry worgen butt if you get into trouble." Bane grinned as Raven glared at him.

Raven sighed. He was definitely losing his touch if his glare didn't even make Bane, the weakest one of them all, cower in fear.

"Fine, just don't blame me if bad shit happens. We leave in two days so start packing."

Bane just smiled as Raven walked out of the bar, leaving his half full tankard behind. Bane grabbed it and chugged it down. He needed something to get him through this crazy trip. He yelled at the bartender for another, hoping to drown his fears of humanity.

"Are you sure you want to get so close to the city? It's dangerous."

Raven let out a low growl of frustration. He had lost track of how many times Bane had said that since the beginning of the trip. They hadn't been able to take a ship so they had to go by land which had taken weeks. Days upon days of Bane whining that this wasn't a good idea and that they should go back to the safety of Gilneas. It was enough to make any worgen grind his fangs down to molars!

"If you were going to be such a chicken then you shouldn't have bothered coming with me."

"I'm a druid, not a chicken, thank you very much."

"Chicken… Druid… Same thing." Raven said with a shrug knowing that it would make Bane angry.

Bane glared at him. "You are such an asshole!"

Raven bowed with a mocking grin on his face. "You know it. Now hush, chicken. It smells like we are getting close.

Bane opened his mouth to send back some snarky reply when he smelled the stench of humans starting to fill the air. Raven laughed silently as his friend wrinkled his sensitive nose.

They stopped among a grove of trees that stood quite a ways away from the wall. This spot was nowhere near the gate into the city so it was safer than most areas that were highly populated.

The putrid smell of bad booze hit Raven full in the face, nearly making him gag. He didn't understand how humans could handle drinking that crap. He paused as his ears twitched forward, catching the faint sound of raucous laughter and three pairs of stumbling footsteps.

A small group of men in the armor of the Stormwind City Guard were walking along the wall in a private drunken party. It was just Raven's luck to find the only guards outside of the wall. He could easily stealth away but that would have left Bane in a bit of a pickle. He glanced over to see his fellow worgen staring in horror at the humans.

It took another minute for the guards' blurry eyes to focus on the pair of worgen standing very still among the pines. The one in the middle elbowed the guard on his left but winced as his arm contacted with the hard plate.

"Oush! Why we gotta where thish metal shtuff anyway?"

The one on the left turned to look at his friend. "You shtupid! It'sh to shtop us from being hurt by big bad monshters! …hic!"

The third guard spit on the ground. "Ain't nothin' out here but cowsh and rabbits."

The middle one shook his head and pointed straight at Raven and Bane. "Then what er those, eh?"

The other men squinted and, upon seeing two worgen, immediately sobered up.

"Worgen!" They shouted together and tried to draw their swords with numb fingers. The middle one tried to copy them but realized he had no sword so instead went for the mace strapped across his back.

The guards with the swords rushed forward. Raven pulled out his longest dagger to try and parry the blows. Bane grabbed his long wooden staff but it would not last long against something sharp.

"For Stormwind!" The guy attacking Raven kept shouting as he blindly swept his sword back and forth. Raven's yellow eyes quickly flicked to the guard with the mace. He was sitting on the ground staring dumbly at his heavy weapon. At least he wouldn't have to worry about him. He and Bane had to get out of there quickly. Raven slowly started backing away from his attacker and motioned for Bane to do the same. However Bane was no fighter and it was proving difficult for him to back up and continue blocking the onslaught of the guard's sword. He was starting to make progress but then he tripped.

Raven watched in horror as his friend fell to the ground because of a stupid tree root. The guard grinned triumphantly as he raised his weapon for the final blow. The guard fighting Raven stopped to cheer.

Raven braced himself to make a mad dash to save his friend but stopped when two figures whizzed past him. His eyes only seeing a tall blue blur and a much shorter gray one.

The blue one collided with the guard about to kill Bane. The gray one sprang at the unsuspecting guard by Raven with a loud snarl. Raven stood gaping as he recognized the blue figure and the dark blue hair that was now pulled into a high ponytail and quite dry.

Keira had her bow pulled out and was using it to pin the soldier to the ground. Raven looked down to see Shade also holding down his guard with his front two paws. He kept snapping his jaw in front of the guard's face as a warning. The guard's eyes were wide and panicked as he watched the fanged mouth so close to him.

Bane had sat up now that he wasn't in immediate danger of dying. He was eyeing Keira as if wondering if he were truly safe now or not.

Raven jumped as Keira starting yelling at the guards. She sounded very pissed off.

"You men would dare to attack these worgen? What right did you have to do that? I know they did not attack you first."

The soldier she was holding down spat in her face.

"Get off me, you night elf bitch."

Keira calmly wiped her face clean. "I don't think so. These worgen did nothing to your drunken asses. Therefore you were in the wrong."

Raven noticed out of the corner of the eye that the mace wielder had finally managed to stand up and was running straight for Keira with his weapon raised above his head.

"Keira!" Raven shouted in warning as he dashed forward towards the man. He winced as he caught the mace in his furry paw before it could crush Keira's skull. She stared up in shock to see Raven.

"Raven! I didn't realize it was you here! Thanks for saving my life."

Raven grinned. "It's only fair since you saved Bane."

Keira looked back at Bane who was still watching her warily. The guard, noticing her distraction, bucked his hips, throwing Keira off of him. He had not planned on her quick recovery though. She grabbed him by his tabard and slammed him into a tree, knocking him unconscious. She then used her bow to whack the guard with the mace over the head. He slumped to the ground with his mace still in Raven's fist. He dropped it by the man, wincing at the blood that leaked from his paw.

"You guys disappoint me. You all know King Varian's rules about drinking before patrol and NO attacking another Alliance race unless they attack you first!"

"These filth do not belong to the Alliance!" The guard pinned by Shade spat but flinched as Shade growled deep in his throat.

Keira sighed. "It is this kind of attitude that the army really does not need." She walked over to the guy slumped against the tree, picking him up and tossing him over by the mace guy.

Bane walked over to Raven and whispered, "is this the night elf you talked about? She is actually real?"

Keira's pointed ears twitched slightly as she caught the sound of Bane's whisper. She patted her stomach as if checking she was physically there. She smirked at Bane, "I'm pretty sure I'm real. I would hate to be fake and not know it."

Bane winced. "I meant no offense. It is just that many thought that Raven was only spinning tales when he told us all about you."

Keira laughed. "I hope he didn't mention anything bad about me."

"Depends on how bad being pushed into a frozen lake by firbolg is." Bane chuckled as it was Keira's turn to wince and glare at Raven.

Bane patted Raven on the shoulder, "your night elf is scary."

Raven could only nod in agreement.

Keira took up her bow, ignoring the worgen as she punched the last guard under the chin so that he would black out. Shade stepped off of him and nuzzled Keira's hand.

"I need to go talk to King Varian Wrynn about these idiots. You two are going to come with me."

"Are you nuts? Taking worgen into a human city is just asking for disaster!"

Raven flinched as Bane shouted in his ear.

Keira smirked. "Nothing will happen to you two as long as you are worth me. These men must have been new recruits since they didn't realize who they were dealing with."

Bane raised one eyebrow in question, "and who exactly are you that you can safely bring worgen through Stormwind?"

Keira simply said, "you will see."
