Authors Notes: I miss the TV show. )-: Please CBBC bring Maddy back in the third series... *cough, cough*.

Not Without A Fight

Rhydian

Maddy was sat by the window looking miserable when I walked in. I felt as though it was mainly my fault, as stubborn as she is, she can be convinced. I stand there watching her with a frown, she's blaming herself, I know, but she shouldn't. Whats done is done, and the main thing is nobody got hurt... nobody. She looks at me through the reflection on the window. Rain is pouring down outside, which matches the mood I know she is in right now, miserable. Se slowly turns her head to face me, the sadness is in her eyes, "I'm sorry." She says, almost as a whisper, but I can hear thanks to being a wolfblood, I nod and sit beside her, I comb my fingers through my hair, but then she says something that is beyond debatable, "I didn't know." I scoff.

"Your mum and dad told you. I told you. And you didn't know?" I remark, maybe my voice is a little too harsh, I mean she had only just gotten away from being murdered. But still, I tried to warn her, but she wouldn't listen. She looks down at her hands and fiddles with some string off her jumper, I feel guilty and take her hands in mine, her head snaps up as if shocked I did that, "But its alright now, ok? He won't come back." I try, but there is doubt in my words.

Maddy notices the doubt and picks up on it, shaking her head, "You don't know that for sure, Rhydian." She tells me looking back at the window, "I just wish we had a normal life, and were all normal people." She says quietly.

I shake my head and smile down at my knees remembering a remark she'd made years ago when we first met, and though its not the same, it fits. "You know, there was once a time, when a beautiful, wise, funny, very short girl told me by the river, that everything I had once thought made me a freak, was completely normal for a wolfblood." I tease, I see her crack a smile, before kicking my thigh.

But the smile fades, "But you know thats not what I mean, Rhydian." She tells me as I rub my leg. Seeing no other option I open my arms wide for a hug and she crawls into it.

Kissing the top of her head I whisper slightly, "Yeah, but who wants to be normal?" and I smile as she looks up at me. As Mrs S walks in I see it as my time to leave, so I stand and head towards the door, gaining a rather unexpected smile from Emma. Had I done something good? I smile back nonetheless and walk downstairs and sit on a coomfy chair. I sit in the comfy chair and wait for Maddy, I promised her on the way home I wouldn't leave tonight and I'd stay in the guest room. Maybe tonight isn't the best of nights to ask Maddy to move in with me. Especially not when she's fragile, like this.

Then I smell something dangerously familiar, I begin to sniff the air frequently like I had done when I was walking with Maddy into town, I sniff the air and begin to growl, then I hear something from upstairs, "What on earth is he doing in our territory?" Emma snarls also growling, who is he? Suddenly they are both running down the stairs, Maddy with fear in her eyes whilst Emma... is frighteningly angry at something. I follow Maddy out of the house. Dan had earlier left for something Emma had told him to do, and as we get outside I see him, Lucas. And Emma shouts, "What are you doing on my families territory!" Both me and Emma are growling and Maddy glances over at me. I know my eyes have changed, heck I bet Emma's have too.

But no matter how much me and Emma growl at this man, he does not look threatened.

Instead he looks at Maddy with yellow eyes.

"Hello girlie." He hisses, then begins to walk around all three of us, glaring, "Your happy little life, your happy secure homes, your happy secure tame life will all be destroyed, when I reveal your secret, your happy lives, ruined! And you'll forever be on the run! You'll forever be hiding! And you'll all have to adjust to a new life. But you!" he shouts, the last part of his little speech he poits directly at Maddy, "You shall die, for what you did to my son! My only son! You filthy tame!" he screams running toward Maddy.

I look at her briefly and then back at Lucas, and with a lot of anger and so much determination I run to protect her. "Rhydian?" I hear her quiet voice just before I collide with Lucas tackling him to the ground, I hear Maddy's shocked scream as we almost hit her. "Rhydian!" she shouts but I'm a little busy to pay attention.

Until I too see it, or rather feel it getting closer and closer to my chest, I can't move as Lucas is pinning me to the ground. But thankfully Emma tackles him off of me and pulls me up off the ground. Before turning back to him and shouting, "Stay away from me daughter! You deluded piece of work! You leave our territory! Now!" as he leaves he glares at Maddy and I look over at her seeing that look on her face and knowing it so well it might as well be her trademark look.

I walk up to her from behind, she looks up at me, I know.

Lucas won't give up till he's won.

But he won't win.

Authors Notes: Right from now on I am starting a competition... I think... maybe... I don't know. Anyway, so what did you think... next chapter might even be in the villians POV.
