Ok, getting ready to wrap this up, and when I do, I'll have a present for you guys, I'm gonna write a Christmas fic for project: Sharo! Yep, celebrate Christmas with your favorite lycans, but who is going to be celebrating? Well, only one way to find out!

After Chaula left, the air around her felt thick. Neither she nor Protias spoke as she walked through the snow to the place where she would meet Hokori, his den. Not wanting the silence any longer, Chaula spoke to Protias.

"I hurt him, very badly, I know I did. But it was for the best, besides, he doesn't like me that way anyway. He's in love with the Princess of BrightLand, I'm nothing more than a little sister to him." Chauala said, talking more to herself than her navi. Nonetheless, Protias responded.

"You don't believe that, do you?" Protias asked. Chaula sighed and closed her eyes.

"I do, or I don't. I don't know." Chaula responded.

"What do you want to believe Chaula?" Protias asked more firmly.

"I don't know." Chaula whimpered.

"What do you want?" Protias pushed on. Chaula chuckled and looked exasperatedly at her navi.

"I want chicken." Chaula snapped. Protias glared at her and crossed her arms.

"Bane it, Chaula, I'm serious! You need to think about what you want! What happened to the Chaula who does whatever she can to achieve her goals? What happened to the strong-willed werewolf I've come to know and love?" Protias snapped. Chaula sighed and looked down.

"She`s scared and confused, and unsure of who she is." She stopped and looked up, seeing Hokori`s house in front of her. She rtook a deep breath and looked at her navi. "Well, let`s go. Hokori will make us feel better." She said, walking inside. Protias said nothing as Hokori greeted them.

"Hey there babe. Say, you ok?" He asked, seeing the sadness in her eyes. Chaula sniffed and forced herself to smile.

"I`m fine. I just had a fight with my best friend, that`s all. I feel terrible about it now." She told him. Hokori smiled and tried to hug her, only to have her back away when he got one arm on her.

"That`s alright Marie, hey, I`ll make you feel better." He said, and they walked inside. All afternoon, Chaula had been sore about what happened and it made Hokori impatient. When he saw darkness blanket Sharo, he smirked and turned to her.

"Hey how about we get some dinner? My pack and I had a very successful hunt yesterday. We nailed a huge buck, come." He offered bringing her in. Chaula had not heard him, for she still thought about her conversation with Raika, so when she sat in his bedroom, surrounded by his pack, she was very surprised when they brought her a steak that she recognized as deer meat. She opened her mouth to protest, for obvious reasons, when Protias spoke up.

"Chaula, be polite. Raika will not think bad of you if you eat this, it`s not like this steak came from a weredeer." She pointed out. Upon her saying this, the wolves in the room snickered and shook their heads. Ignoring them, Chaula began eating her food, treating it the same way a 4-year-old would treat lima beans. As she ate, Hokori stepped toward her and grabbed her PET.

"I have a charger, I`ll go ahead and plug this in for you while you eat." He said, walking out of the room. Hokori walked into the room next door and literally threw the PET on a desk by the wall. Protias yelped from the sudden action and tried to protest, getting cut off before she could do so. "Sorry there, but only pack-mates can be audience to my, uh, "initiation". Don`t worry, you and your net-op will not have to worry about that troublesome weredeer again. After I make her my mate, we shall feast on his flesh. Enjoy yourself." He mocked, leaving the room. Protias panicked and started calling out frantically.

"Chaula! Bass! Anyone, please! Stop Hokori, he`s going to do something horrible!" She shouted.

Chaula had just finished when Hokori stepped back in the room. He smiled evilly at her. The hair on the back of Chaula`s neck stood at attention from his gaze and she slowly, and unknowingly began changing into her wolf form. When she was in full form, she leapt at Hokori. She was fast, but he was even faster, moving out of her way with little effort as she sailed past him. Suddenly, he appeared behind her and picked her up by her neck. As she struggled in his grasp, he chuckled wickedly with the wolves around him.

"Now then, time to make you mine." He said as two wolves came and took her arms. They set her down and held her as Hokori began to get in position. Chaula frantically struggled as the realization of what was about to happen hit her. She screamed loudly and howled like mad, but that only made them laugh. She started crying and threw her head up.

"RAIKA! HELP! RAIKA PLEASE!" She called out as she continued to try and escape. With the wolves laughing, and no one to help her, the world collapsed around her, and she seemed to have no escape...
