Lucian awoke and was full of optimism. He and his daughter had bonded over many things, but now she would be just like him. He could teach her to hunt and control her powers. This was going to be very difficult for her already damaged body, but if this worked, then all her scars would vanish upon the creation of her new body. He prayed this would work, because there was only one alternative to the chain of events he had set in he had faith.

He walked from his room into hers and smiled at Raze. "It is almost time my friend," Lucian says heavily.

"What is your plan?" Raze asks.

"Well...I will do everything in my power to help her with her transformation. Control the men and when I give the signal we will all have our monthly hunt," he says. Every full moon they all hunted as a pack and today they would be welcoming a new member.

Raze went and rallied the men while Lucian waited. He had removed his shirt but knew his pants would rip off. He had clothes ready for his arrival and a sheet to wrap her in. Dusk was evident and he felt the moon rising. He had to wake Amelia up to ready her. He knew she was confused when he marked her so now he had to make sure she was conscious and ready for what was about to happen.

"Amelia," he said kissing her on the forehead,"Wake up." Once more he coaxed her awake and her eyes focused on Lucian in a confused fashion. He was curious until she rolled her head painfully to glance at the mark on her shoulder. She then frowns. "Amelia?" Lucian asks placing his finger under her chin and pulling her face towards him.

"Are you going to kill me?" she asks quietly.

"No! No! Why would you think that?" Lucian asks stroking her cheek lovingly.

"I thought that I might be too damaged and that you were going to just put me out of my misery," she says as her tears flow onto his hand,"I wanted to trust you but I was scared."

"Shhh," he urges her to calm,"Amelia, I love you and though it pained me to hurt you, I have marked you to save you. Tonight is the full moon...you will become a lycan."

"I'm going to be a lycan," she says in amazement.

"Yes my dear, you will be one of us," Lucian says. The two mirror eachother with smiles.

"Thank you father," she says as Lucian lays his forehead on hers.

"It is going to be very painful, but I will be here the entire time to help you...no matter what..." his stomach still twisted at the thought that this could kill her...but he could not let himself think that way.

"What is going to happen," she asks first.

"Well your eyes are the first thing, then the chest will begin to expand, next your hands and feet, then your face and teeth. The bone structure is what changes then your skin will begin the change. There has never been a female lycan...so I do not know completely what will happen," he says.

She paused,"Can I die from this?"

Lucian held her gaze. "Yes," he says point blank. She inhaled and tears fell down her cheeks. "But," he continues,"you are my daughter...and one of the strongest women I have ever known. I have loved you since the moment we met and I'm not ready to lose you and none of us in the pack are. You will overcome this as you have always overcome everything!"

Amelia smiles at Lucian. "I love you too father," she says.

"It is almost time, can you sit?" he asks. With all her strength she sits up slowly. Lucian moves to the window and opens it to see the progress of the moon. In a few minutes it would be at its peak and that will begin her transformation. They sit in silence until Lucian asks,"Are you scared?"

Amelia looks at him for a moment until she answers,"Yes."

Lucian takes ahold of her hand and squeezes it reassuringly. "You are strong, you will get through this," he says smiling at her. She smiles back then displays a perplexed look on her face.

"I feel funny," she says her breathing picking up.

It was time. Lucian takes ahold of each of her hands,"Try to stay calm and focus on you breathing. Focus on taking long deep breaths."

Amelia nods her head. Her hands encased in her father's begin to shake. Her whole body soon began shaking and her skin felt as if it was crawling. Suddenly, Amelia flew backwards, screaming and releasing Lucian's hands and grasping at her chest. Lucian watched as tears sprang to her tightly closed eyes and as her back arched he could hear each rib crack into their new place. She clutched her hands tightly as her fingers enlongated and claws took their place. Her head thrashed as her teeth became jagged and more animalistic. She human screams soon became deeper and soon turned into howls and yips. Lucian watched as her skin began turning to the dark black grey.

Suddenly, everything stopped and she was quiet. Lucian stared confused at his daughter's body contorted in pain. Had his plan failed? Had he killed his daughter? He did not want to touch her body but listened from a distance for a heart beat. Nothing. Lucian stood in shock. He turned away, unable to look at his daughter in her half changed state.

Then, he heard something loud as day. A new heartbeat. He turn quickly and watched as the rest of the transformation was complete. Her new lycan blood had restarted her heart. Lucian examined his daughter, now a fully changed lycan laying on the bed. Her black eyes opened and she looked around with her new eyes as her legs swung to the grown. Lucian's eyes began to fill with tears. He smiled. His plan had worked. There were many times that Lucian had been proud of his daughter, but now that she had survived and overcome so many things in the past few days she was now rewarded with new life.

She stood before her father, fur black as night and eyes shining with the adventurous spirit Lucian loved. He smiled, his canines extending and eyes turning,"Let's hunt."
