Authors Notes: For the rest of the story it will be in third person... maybe, I'm not sure if its better that way or not, but it's the only way I know how to write a fight scene so it will be in this chapter. Completely third person. Also I shall be referring to Lucas' pack as 'the enemies' because, well they are.

Not Without A Fight

Third Person

The plan was simple. Maddy and Rhydian were bait. The pack had sent the two of them out for a little walk in the forest. The pack knew that the enemies would expect this... they would expect Maddy and Rhydian to try and get away from the rest of the pack, but they hoped that they wouldn't suspect the rest of the pack to be watching closely. Even if the enemies did have the advantage of using eolas to spy on them. As the two young lovers walked through the woods they stopped short by a tree, there was nothing particularly special about this tree, but Rhydian had stopped them for a brief moment, turned Maddy to look at him – even with the shocked and confused expression plastered on her face – and he pulled her in for another kiss. "I just want you to know, I love you." He whispered quiet enough so only she heard, she looked up at him with sparkling brown eyes and stroked his cheek. Suddenly something shifted in the distance, both Maddy and Rhydian's eyes snapped towards where it had come from, both their eyes blazing. In the mist of the dark woods there hundreds of yellow glowing eyes watching them. It felt and looked like something from a horror movie, and out of instinct Rhydian took Maddy's hand and pushed her behind him growling at the many eyes that watched their every move.

Then, emerging from the mist, a face with a smile that caused the two to cringe, "Hello there, remember me?" he snarled and Maddy's breathing became quicker, just like her heart-beat, Lucas tilted his head to the side and whispered, "Yes, of course you do, why its was only an hour or so that I threatened your very existance Miss Smith..." he extended Maddy's surname as his pack closed in on the two. Looking at one another Maddy and Rhydian began to growl, with their hands held close to their sides. As the enemies got closer, the two of them howled.

Evil faces glanced at one another in confusion, why did they howl? They were the only two that were here, the rest of their pack was waiting patiently – for the howl – back at the Smiths house. Then Lucas chuckled, "By the time we're finished with you, tame, your pathetic excuse of a pack will have been too late." He sneered through his chuckle.

Maddy and Rhydian looked at one another, nodded, before reaching into their pockets and pulling out their phones allowing their phones to ring as the other wolfbloods all cowered at the sound. Rhydian looked over at Maddy and smiled weakly, "Well now we know who has been using eolas." He says with a slight laugh, Maddy laughs too but is quickly pulling him with her away from all the cowering wolfbloods. It wasn't much but it brought them time and time is what they needed the most right now.

After recovering from the ringing of a mobile phone, Lucas looked up at where the other two wolfbloods had once stood turning to Reena – his little hench woman – he pulled her to her feet, quiet roughly and roared into the night sky.

"I want them dead!" he shouted at Reena beginning to follow them.

As the two ran past trees and over logs at wolfblood speed they heard the roar, but were confused entirely when they didn't see any of their pack, "Where are they?" Maddy asked in concern. Rhydian had the same concern look but instead he looked around panicky. Then something caught his attention, a scent, one that was unfortunatly familiar to both their noses.

"Maddy?" The Scottish voice asked, showing himself in the almost full moon light – tomorrow was the full moon, by coincidence – he approached Maddy and she stepped back and was immediatly pushed behind Rhydian when she got closer to him. Fred looked at Maddy in confusion, "Maddy what is it? Why are you standing behind this tame traitor?" he asks, Maddy looked at him in confusion herself, does he honestly still not know? she thought to herself.

But as Maddy grabbed gently onto Rhydians protective arm Freds face grew thunderous, and in rage he ran toward Rhydian and Maddy, tackling the other wolfblood to the ground.

On three attemptst Maddy tried to tackle Fred off of Rhydian, but failed as with his much more overpowering strength he pushed her away. "Leave him alone! Fred! God damn it, leave him alone!" she screamed at the ginger man, both men were slowly transforming. Until.

Fred was pounded away from Rhydian by a woman, with gold blazing eyes and rotten teeth bared, "Cadwch eich pawennau oddi ar fy mab!"Ceri snarled at him in welsh, looking over at her son and Maddy before translating, "Keep your paws off my son!", Rhydian smiled up at his mum. Fred had hit a tree when pounded away from Rhydian and was knocked out by the impact.

"Ceri? Where are the others?" Maddy asked the elder female wolfblood. Ceri helped her son up from the ground and sighed.

"The majority of the pack have arrived and are fighting with the enemies as we speak. But your parents were held up by a Mrs Okanawe?" she explained, sounding skeptical when she said Toms mums name, she looked between Maddy and Rhydian who exchanged glances before continuing, "She asked about a 'welcome home party'." She added once again skeptical when she said 'welcome home party'.

Maddy laughed slightly, "She's six months late." And Rhydian too chuckled. But once again there little moment of happiness was destroyed when another roar was heard. Maddy looked between both Rhydian and his mother and sighed, "We best go help them." She pointed out running towards where the battle had started.

There were hundreds of wolves, not humans fighting humans, wolves fighting other wolves. From the crowd Maddy could identify most of them, Jana's red wolf was fighting off two large brown wolves. Winnies white wolf was tackling with a single grey wolf. Brans big wolf tackled with five other wolves, and the rest of the pack all battles with wolves from the other pack. It was a blood bath, and as Ceri joined the others in wolf form so did Rhydian and Maddy.

They stayed close to one another and their side were winning, at the moment. Many of the enemies side had been injured or... killed. As more and more from the enemies pack were killed or injured to the point of surrender both sides transformed back into humans fighting with their hands – Winnie, a large stick.

Seeing this moment as being the best, when neither he nor Maddy had anyone to fight, Rhydian dragged Maddy away from the fight and to a quieter area, "Mads, you need to go, get away from here." He ordered her shouting over all the grunts, howls and whimpers-before-death.

Maddy looked at him with a frown, "What?"

Meanwhile Ceri and Jana had finished with their attacker and giving one another glances they nodded with a glare and growl and approached Lucas. Determined to be the ones that killed the one wolfblood who threatened the secret.

Feeling them approach, Lucas finished off with Bran – just a severe injury – and slowly turned to be greeted by the two female wolfbloods, who squatted down in front of him and growled, both their eyes blazing at him, teeth rotten and claws ready to attack. Lucas stood up tall and smiles at the two, "Ladies, we don't have to fight." He states in a charming voice, but as the two continue to growl at him he tutts before saying, "If you say so." And he approached the women with the same amount of anger in his eyes.

"I'm not leaving you!" she shouted at him as he began to push her further away from the fight, neither of them had yet noticed Fred awakening and listening to them argue. Why is she so stubborn Rhydian thought to himself, rolling his eyes and throwing his hands up in the air turning around whilst looking up at the sky, "We're in this together." She tells him.

"I'm not losing you to them, Maddy!" Rhydian told her holding her shoulders and looking her in the eyes, his voice was stern and so was his look on her, letting go of her shoulders he took her hand and continued to drag her. She snatched her hand away from him and turned him to face her. Their faces only inches away from one another, their breath warm on each others skin, her chocolate brown eyes looking up into his water blue orbs.

"And if we're together in this, then I won't lose you, and you won't lose me." She tried to convince him, he groaned as he gave in, but as he looked up he growled pushing Maddy behind him, as Fred ran towards them with a broken shard of glass – which had been conveniently lying next to him when he hit the tree. Maddy hit the ground behind Rhydian after he pushed her behind him, she watched in horror as both Fred and Rhydian fought, Fred trying to stab Rhydian, and Rhydian trying to get the glass away from his attacker. Maddy screamed slightly as Fred knocked Rhydian to the ground and climbed ontop of him. "Leave him alone, Fred!" she screamed. But she couldn't move, her eyes flashed bright gold and she growled at him, before softening her voice to plead, "Please!"

Ceri and Jana had been joined by Emma and Dan – who had finally caught up with the others after getting rid of Mrs Okawane – and were fighting with Lucas. He was weakening but was determined not to show his weakness to the other pack, the pack which he would class as 'weak'.

But they were all stopped in their tracks when they heard Maddy's scream, they all stood up, but they heard Lucas chuckle below them, "My son, he shall kill your young lovers. He shall not show mercy." He said in a sneering whisper, he continued to chuckle until a big wolf began to claw at him, scratching at his face and then... Lucas let out one final ear piercing scream before the life was taken out of him. The wolf then transformed back to its human form.

Bran looked down at his kill, clutching a wound of his own before spitting, "Bran yn dangos unrhyw drugaredd yn rhy." Translating from Welsh as 'Bran shows no mercy too'. Before turning back to the others with a smile of victory on his face, Emma looked at him dumbfounded, "What? He hit me first." He said in an innocent tone.

All four of them nodded, before turning to look at one another and saying in unison, "Maddy... Rhydian." And running toward where the scream came earlier.

Freds head snapped up as he heard Maddy's pleading voice, he looked over at Maddy, with a grin and evil looking eyes, Maddy thought he'd finally stop and think about what he was doing.

But he hadn't.

And he plunged the shard of glass down into Rhydians chest, "No!" Maddy screamed, she finally stood, running over at wolfblood speed and shoving Fred away, tears stream down her face as she tries to do something to help him, luckily its missed his heart, but its still causing a lot of blood and its getting harder for him to breath, "No, no, no, no, Rhydian. Rhydian, stay with me, look at me Rhydian..." she begs, her hands hover over his wound, and the tears keep falling.

She is then picked up by Fred, his arms wrapped around her stomach and she tries to kick him away, struggling, she screams as he lifts her over his shoulders and carries her away. Just like what Maddy and Rhydian were afraid would happen, and it happens. And Ceri watches in anger and frustration from behind bushes. Her eyes change, her blood boils, her son dying, all she wants is revenge, and so she takes it.

Transforming into a wolf she runs at top speed knocking the ginger Scottish boy to the ground, Maddy with him. The brunette girl crawls away running from the current fight between Ceri and Fred and towards a fatally injured Rhydian.

He groans as Maddy touches the glass, her hands stain with his blood. She looks up at her parents in agony, "Mam! Dad! Jana! Anyone, just help him! Please!" she screams at them, they flinch as she does so and Jana walks away from it all. Maddy looks back down at Rhydian, her afce tear stained and she strokes his face frequently, "Come on, stay with us, yeah? You'll be fine. Just... please, Rhydian... you can't leave me..." she pleads taking one of his hands into her own, "I love you Rhydian Morris, so you can't leave. If you get through this... I'll move in with you, just please..." she begs, his eyes begin to shut, she starts to panic, Ceri comes over after her kill, seeing her son she too begins to cry.

"My beautiful boy." She murmurs.

Maddy cries, "Rhydian? Rhydian?..."

Authors Notes: I'm so mean to you all. Lol, well I didn't know how to do most of the chapter, there are certain parts in it that just don't fit the chapter. But I must say I hated writting the end of it. It killed me! Well tell me if I did ok for a battle scene.
