Me: Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii everyone! I'm back! =) Sorry for the long wait and for the short chapter. I have people coming over this week so I want to update before that happens. Thanks for your support! =) (This is kind of important. Some of you thought that Dr. Gehabich was captured but he wasn't. He was the man that was working with Anubias. The one I didn't give the name. That's why when Spectra called, Dr. Gehabich picked up. Sorry for the whole confusion.)
Light-Sakura: Lol that's good =D I wonder if it's going to happen again this time =) Thanks for your review! =)

SheepRainbow: Oh sorry, I wasn't clear. Dr. Gehabich is the guy who was working with Anubias. The one I didn't mention for many chapters. Thanks for your review! =)
Eyes for Vova only: Lol it's alright =) but there's a little bit of a mix up. Anubias and Dr. Gehabich were working together. He didn't capture him. Dr. Gehabich was the mysterious man I've been hiding. Sorry about that. Thanks for your review! =)

Me: Here's a little recap before I begin the story =):
Spectra put Shun in a very deep sleep that could last for centuries.
Spectra and Anubias have a fight.
Dr. Gehabich was revealed to be the unknown man working with Anubias.
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN BAKUGAN, TWILIGHT OR INUYASHA!
Alice's P.O.V.
Where was grandfather? Where was Anubias? I walked around my room worriedly. I tried calling them but no one would pick up. The skating competition was today. I fiddled with the shard that I took off from my neck days ago. I had a bad feeling about wearing it… but today I felt like I needed to wear it again (A/N: Because I haven't been updating a lot, I realized I made a mistake in the last two chapters. In one chapter, Julie said that her shard wasn't there when the brawlers were asking her stuff then in the next chapter, I wrote that the shard was with Alice xD. So I'm trying to fix it now… sorry about that). I don't know why… but I was feeling different today… I clutched on to the corner of my desk as pain shot through my head. A moment later, it stopped… I looked at my alarm clock and realized it was almost time for the competition. I decided to worry about my head later. There was nothing I could do about it anyway. I rushed down stairs and opened the door. I jumped surprised. Runo was shocked as well.
"Sorry Runo, I didn't mean to scare you," I apologized.
"It's fine… besides I should be the one apologizing… about my behaviour the other day…" she said sincerely. I didn't know what to say…
"What are you talking about?" I asked confused.
"You know… the other day when we were at the café… and Dan, Julie and I were asking you all these questions…" she explained patiently.
"When did that happen?" I questioned.
"Alice… are you feeling okay?" she asked worriedly as she touched my forehead. Time seemed to stop for me. The falling snow, bare trees and houses disappeared before my eyes as a vision appeared. I saw Runo, Dan and Julie in front of me… asking me questions… I was staring at them confused…
"Alice! Alice!" Runo was holding on to me and reality returned to me. I shook my head, trying to clear my mind. Reading people's minds were normal for me… but how come I couldn't remember what had happened in that vision?
"Runo… something happened… I don't know what though… ask me questions about the past few days," I instructed. She nodded and we both sat down on the frozen steps in front of my house.
"Do you remember Shun?" she asked.
"Of course, did I forget him…?" I questioned. She nodded and then continued.
"Do you remember going out with Anubias?" she asked seriously. I stared at her, waiting for her to say she was joking. I went out with Anubias? He was a great guy… but I always thought of him more as a brother… not my boyfriend…
"No… did I really go out with him?" I sighed while covering both of my hands over my face. What had happened these few days?
"Yeah… but I'm glad you're back," Runo comforted as she wrapped one of her arms around my shoulder.
"Thanks," I managed to smile.
"The competition is going to start soon, let's hurry. We can figure everything out later," she suggested. I nodded and got up to lock my door. Then we hurried to the rink.
Spectra's P.O.V.
I turned off Anubias' phone. My chat with Dr. Gehabich was quite entertaining. Hearing the old man panic made me feel stronger. I kicked Anubias' lifeless body. He lied there face down in a pool of blood. I took the shard from him and threw it in the air a few times, thinking of what to do next… well more of how to do it. I walked down the hall and stopped at the room Shun was in. I pushed the door open and it creaked loudly in the silence. Shun was lying on the floor motionless. I bent down next to him and placed the shard on his forehead. It started to glow. The light was blinding but I kept my hand there.
"As long as the shard is in you, you will be under my control," I commanded. A moment later, the shard sunk into his forehead and disappeared, "Rise."
"Yes, my master," he stood up and stared at me. The feelings and emotions in his eyes were gone… his eyes were cold and empty.
"Good, now… there's a skating competition in a few minutes… you know, the one your friend Alice is in," I waited for any reaction but none came so I continued, "I want you to act like nothing happened. Be yourself. Keep her busy and away from home."
"Yes, my master," he bowed and then left. Now, time to take care of Dr. Gehabich.
Alice's P.O.V.
"It's going to start soon!" I panicked.
"Where on earth is Anubias?" Runo shouted angrily while she helped me with my dress. I sat down on a bench in the change room and tied my skates on properly. Just when I was finished, Dan and Marucho appeared into the room. Runo and I had explained everything to them yet she still seemed bothered about something.
"We can't find him anywhere. Julie and Billy are looking for him near his school," Marucho explained panting.
"Thanks guys, I really appreciate it… We're on next… I'm going to tell the judges we're forfeiting," I sighed.
"No don't! Umm… Dan can take his place!" Runo suggested.
"Are you crazy?! I can't skate!" he exclaimed.
"Well you're going to have to unless you want Alice to forfeit!" she yelled.
"Why can't Marucho do it? Or Shun?" Dan shouted back.
"Wait… guys, where is Shun?" I asked. Runo and Dan stopped talking and turned to me worriedly.
"Well… we umm… kind of had an argument with him a few days ago… and well…" Runo explained uncomfortably.
"There's too much going on… but before we sort things out, let me go talk to the judge. I'll be right back," I smiled sadly and left the room before they could say anything. I felt like they were hiding something from me… I had a bad feeling about it too especially with Anubias and Shun disappearing and my memory lost. Everything was happening too quickly.
Runo's P.O.V.
"Guys, we have to tell her the truth about us, about everything," I stated seriously.
"She'll be so angry at us…" Dan pointed out while Marucho paced around the room.
"But it's better to tell her now… then wait till later," Marucho agreed with me.
"Tell who what?" a voice behind us asked. I turned to see the werewolf that had left us a few days ago standing by the door. I didn't know whether to be happy he was back, or to be angry at him for leaving.
"Buddy, it's good to see you," Dan greeted as they did one of their weird handshakes.
"Jerk, where have you been? You think you can just leave us?" I growled.
"He's back now so let's just get along," Marucho said, being the peacekeeper.
"Fine. We're going to tell Alice who we really are," I explained to Shun. He nodded while stepping into the room and taking a place next to Dan.
"She already knows about me… she saw Spectra and I fight," he stated guiltily. I wanted to punch him. How could he be so careless? I was about to yell at him when Alice stepped in. She hadn't noticed Shun yet because she was too busy staring at her own feet.
"Alice…" Shun called and her eyes immediately shot up and met his.
"Shun… I am so sorry for the past few days. I can't believe I forgot about you. I must have hurt you badly. I'm so sorry," she apologized.
Alice's P.O.V.
"It's fine," he replied as I hugged him. His whole body felt stiff. His arms were in the oddest position. I stopped hugging him and tried to figure out what was wrong. That's when I saw his eyes… they were emotionless and empty.
"Um… have you seen Anubias?" I asked.
"… No," he paused slightly before answering. No one seemed to notice his changes but me. Maybe it was just my imagination… the last few days weren't my best ones after all.
"Sorry guys, I think I want to go home and rest. I'll call Julie and Billy and tell them to stop looking. Thanks for being there for me," I smiled.
"Wait!" Runo and Shun both called in unison. They exchanged glances for a second before turning their attention back to me.
"Alice… the truth is… Shun's not the only werewolf here. We're all werewolves and that's probably why your shard keeps glowing whenever you're around us… we wanted to take it from you but it's different now. I see why Shun didn't want to hurt you… you're our friend and we're very sorry," Runo apologized. I didn't know whether or not to be mad. I wasn't very shocked since I already knew Shun was a werewolf. He seemed to hang around them a lot… kind of like a pack. The fact that they admitted they were werewolves made me feel guilty about not telling them I was a partial vampire.
"It's fine, don't worry about it," I accepted their apology. Now that I knew who they really are, there's no way I can tell them about being a vampire. Werewolves and vampires didn't get along well. They all waited for me to say more but I didn't… I couldn't.
Shun's P.O.V.
"Shun, isn't this the prettiest flower you've ever seen?" Alice asked happily as she pointed to a yellow flower near a tree. I walked up to her and wrapped my arms around her waist.
"It's beautiful… like you," I whispered in her ear. I knew she was blushing as she avoided my eyes and walked off, going higher up the mountain.
"Let's see what's up there," she grinned. I nodded and then followed her up. She was the most wonderful person in my life. I was happier than I've ever been… but I couldn't help feeling worried.
