Author's Note: NEW POSSIBLE POVs! Aldawolf is Bolt, Crow is Xena and Hawk is X. Proceed!

CROW

Me and X tore off the berries and rolled them, one by one, towards the humans. We could see that they were super hungry, and so I sped up. Soon enough, there was a neat pile of berries in front of us.

"Can we eat now?" asked the sash-wearing one.

"Uh, sure... you," I said.

"That's Raven Featherclaw," interrupted X.

"Uh-huh," I replied.

Dimentio (using magic) levitated the topmost berry off the pile and into his mouth. He chewed and swallowed before commenting, "Well... it'll do for one night."

The other two humans laughed (I don't know why) and helped themselves. My stomach was full (from some of the berries I had stolen when no-one had been looking), so I fluttered to the mouth of the cave and looked out.

"I'll keep watch," I called over my shoulder.

I heard murmurs from the others, and scuffling sounds as they pulled sheets of moss over themselves, preparing to sleep. I looked backwards, and gave a slight jump as I saw X standing a beak away from me.

"Jeez, dude," I said, turning to face the outside world. "Don't do that."

"Sorry," apologised X. He sounded sorry. I pretended not to notice.

"Aren't you supposed to hunt or something?" I shot at him.

"I'm, er, diurnal," admitted X.

"Me too. But you can see me keeping watch, eh?"

"I guess..."

We stood there in silence. After a while, X yawned, his hooked beak gaping open.

"Well, I'll hit the branch," he told me, making his way back into the cave. "If you don't want me here."

I snorted and turned back to the moon. Its beams cut clear paths across the grass. After a few minutes, X slunk away disappointedly.

I chuckled to myself. "You stupid hawk..."


ALDAWOLF

"Where are we?"

Mimi's whine echoed, even though we were sharing a stuffy cell set into damp stone walls. There was no door, but five steel bars stood there, "barring" our way out.

Y'see what I did there?

Aw, what's the use of joking? No-one's smiled in the past few hours, especially me.

"We're in a magic-proof cell, with diamond-hard bars sealing us away," droned the Count. He had given exactly the same answer for the past half-hour.

"Oh." Mimi put a hand to her chin and thought hard. "Why can't we teleport out?"

"Because it's magic-proof," said Timpani tiredly.

"I wanna get out," I moaned. "This cell is like torture. I'm probably claustrophobic."

"It's jes' 'cause you're a wolf," said O'Chunks. But his face didn't look like it agreed. In fact, O'Chunks might have well been screaming "GEMME OUTTA HEEEERE!", it was so obvious.

"D'you think the others will, y'know, come and, um, save us?" whispered Nastasia fearfully.

"They'll try," said the Count grimly. "But, knowing them, they've probably all gone their seperate ways by now, seeing as how much they argue amongst themselves."

"They'd better hurry up and put aside their differences," I grumbled. We all looked at each other, suddenly scared.

What if they didn't put aside their differences?

What if we were destined here... forever?
