Authors Notes: Ok, so I know that the last chapter was a bit sad, it didn't make people cry, but this chapter will become happier... though I do not like cheese so... GOOD LUCK!

We're Not Your Lab Rats!

He watched from behind the glass as she was stitched up, properly, her wound finally cleaned, no infections. Her toned stomach moved up and down to signal that she was still alive and still breathing, but it was weak, and unfrequent. The closer it got to night fall the more nervous he got, all of them. "Oh, for goodness sake, Rhydian! Stop pacing." Shannon snapped, getting frustrated by Rhydian constantly walking back and forth in front of her. Rhydian stopped and turned to look at Shannon briefly. He shook his head and continued to pace much to Shannons dismay. At first he didn't notice, but Ceri's hand brought him out of his trance, she looked at him reassuringly, but there was a determined glint in her eye.

"Mae angen i ni adael." She whispered to him in Welsh, he slowly looked down at her in confusion, she sighed, "We need to leave. Before the moon comes." She urged. He looked back into the room, she followed his gaze and sighed looking down, "I know, but we must leave." He nodded, suddenly there was a heavy weight on his shoulders. He looked at Dan and Emma, they most definetly wouldn't leave, it was their daughter. He turned back round to look at Ceri who had a small smile on her face, she saw the expression on his face and pursed her lips together "Dilyn eich calon." She told him, once again in Welsh, once again confusing poor Rhydian.

He looked around at everyone waiting for Maddy. "I'm not leaving without her." He announced, turning from Shannon, Tom and Emma all sat on the hospital chairs to Ceri, Bryn and Jana all ready to go. Dan had been busy explaining to the police what had happened between Whitewood, Toby and Maddy, since they didn't know that Rhydian had been involved as well.

"But if we stay until she is allowed out then we'll all transform in here!" Jana argued, Rhydian growled at her, she growled back. Emma rolled her eyes annoyed, pushing herself off the chair in anger.

"Pack it in! The pair of ya!" she snaps, stepping between them and glaring at them both. They continued to all glare at one another, Ceri, Tom and Shannon all watched trying to stay out of the way, but there was a reason why Ceri didn't join... as much as she wanted to of course, she couldn't fight the alpha of the pack for her son, she'd be exiled. Calming herself down Emma turned to look at Rhydian, "Do you have any idea how we're going to get Maddy out?" she asked hopefully.

Rhydian looked around thinking, but he didn't have to think, not when Tom came up with the idea, "We could all distract the nurses and doctors with questions whilst Rhydian smuggles Mads out of here... I'm sure everything is fine." He tried, Rhydian had had his head in his hands on his lap, but as Tom suggested they distract the nurses and doctors that were supposed to be looking after Maddy, his head tilted upwards and he had a widening smile on his face, as though what Tom said was the answer to everything.

"Yeah, but how are we supposed to do that? Its not just five doctors and nurses in this hospital, there's probably hundreds. We can't distract all of them." Shannon pointed out, giving a sigh of deafet afterwards, but Rhydians smile was still plastered on his face.

Rhydian rolled his eyes but continued to smile, "Always looking at the negatives Shan. We can do this." He announced, already ordering people to do things, Emma to distract the doctors that had been helping Maddy recover, Shannon and Tom had to stay close to Rhydian as he carried Maddy through the corridors. Jana and Ceri were told to distract anyone else who might've gotten in the way. Once Rhydian had carried Maddy out, there would be a signal.

Then, each of them poured out to do what they had been made to do, Emma runs over to the doctors and begins her task, "Excuse me, sorry, hello," she began gaining the doctors attention as Rhydian and Tom slipped in secretly to get Maddy. "Yes, are you the doctors that were helping me daughter, Maddy Smith?" she asked them. Meanwhile, Rhydian had gently picked up Maddy and was beginning to take her out of the hospital. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly but didn't open, and just as Rhydian and Tom were about to get into the elevator, an assistant nurse saw them.

"Stop! That girl hasn't been discharged yet!" achingly slow the elevator doors shut leaving Tom, Rhydian and Maddy in the small elevator space. As the elevator got to their floor, they caught up with Shan and took off in the direction they were headed. Meanwhile Emma was hearing news that she didn't like.

"Now, we have run a blood test and we have only just got the results back." Oh the irony, if only this had been a no-moon day.

Rhydian was still racing out the building with Maddy in his arms. Her eyes slowly opening, "Rhydian? Whats going on?" she asks in the voice that you get after you've woken up, tired, whiney and almost a whisper. Rhydian glances down at her, smiling as he exits the hospital and gives the signal. A howl. Maddy continues to look at him in confusion, "What are you doing?" she asks, placing her hand on her forehead. "Rhydian?" she asks again a little more determined and annoyed that he didn't answer the first time she asked.

"Getting away from the hospital, quick. Before the moon. Where the hell is Emma?" he asks frustrated, and only moments after Ceri and Jana come bursting out, their eyes already yellow. Rhydian approaches them, "Did you see Emma?" he asks the women, they shake their heads. Growing concerned he begins to pace again, with Maddy securely in his arms. Shannon rolls her eyes.

"Oh don't start that again. They'll be fine. You seem to have forgotten that its not just Emma, but Dan and Bryn still in there." She points out, Rhydian glares at her, his turning pale yellow. The moons getting closer.

"Rhydian, stop pacing and tell me where me mam and dad are." Maddy told Rhydian a little louder and little more stern to show that she wasn't fooling around anymore. "And put us down too!" she added, not liking how tightly he was carrying her. Slowly he placed her back on the ground, she took her arm away from around his neck and stumbled over towards the doors to the hospital. "Their in there, aren't they?" She asks, her eyes beginning to swirl from chocolatey brown to pale yellow. She didn't even ave to turn to sense the nod from Rhydian. "Mam! Dad!" she screams starting to make her way into the hospital.

Rhydian rushes up to her to try and stop her from continuing, "Woah, woah, woah, you can't go back in, we just got you out in time for the-" he was cut off when she pushes him away. His expression changes from stern to hurt. He looks at her for a moment, before throwing his arms up in the air and walking away in anger and defeat, he turns round on his feet to begin making his journey towards the woods, but turns back when he needs to get something off his chest, "You know, you're not the only one who was affected by what Whitewood did, Maddy. I'm just trying to be the strong one, the one that tries to help. But if pushing me away is what helps you then fine! I'm done." He tells Maddy with an angry glare, his hurt, gone. But before he can leave he hears Maddy respond.

"Right. Because me wanting to get me parents back is totally wrong." Its a mumble, but its loud enough for Rhydian to hear, for him to tilt his head up and look at the sky chuckling in disbelief.

"Would you two just stop fighting! God, before all this crap, I bet you were both love sick. Now... she's changed you both." Tom tells them, annoyed that they had forgotten how much they'd loved each other. He looks over at the hospital doors seeing Emma, Dan and Bryn all making their way out. Bryn breaks into a run when he see's Ceri, and there is a worried look on Emma's face. Everyone notices, but Tom is the only one to speak, "What's up?" he asks.

"They've taken Maddy's blood. Thats why we were taking so long." Emma announces trying not to burst into tears, though they threaten to fall. Maddy turns to look at Rhydian, hoping to see his facial expression change from annoyed to worried. "This is Whitewood all over again. And you know what comes next Maddy." Emma tells her daughter.

Maddy takes three steps back, she looks at Rhydian again. Her black veins begin to crawl up her arm, she looks at her hands briefly, before running toward Rhydian and taking his hand. "Maddy?" He calls as he is dragged away by her.

Tom walks over to Shannon, nudging her slightly, whispering, "Maddians back."

Shannon looks back at Tom and shakes her head, "No, Tom, they're not back... not yet." She tells him, releasing a sigh. She looks up at the hospital, before nudging Tom back, "Come on. I've got a plan." She smiles to herself as she pulls Tom along with her toward the enterance to the hospital. The other Wolfbloods had long since run away in hope of finding Maddy and Rhydian. Tom groans to himself as he follows his friend.

"Not again." He mumbles, and thank goodness she isn't a Wolfblood too, otherwise she would've heard it.

"I don't want to leave... not again." Maddy tells Rhydian, slightly out of breath, but only slightly. Rhydian frowns at Maddy, confused at how one minute she is angry with him and pushing him away for trying to protect her, and then the next is dragging him to the middle of the woods just to tell him that she doesn't want to leave again. Women, he thought to himself. He looks at her beofre scrapping her hand off his and walking off. "I'm sorry," she calls out, hoping he'd turn to look at her, "about earlier. I didn't mean to be... off. It's just... I'm tired and I'm fed up of running away from everything. I didn't mean to push you away... and I'm an idiot for doing so." She tells him. He looks down at his feet, he smiles as he thinks if something to say back, and all he says is:

"I know."

Maddy frowns in confusion, "That I'm sorry, or, that I didn't mean to push you away..." she starts, she thinks about what else, briefly looking up at the moon, the urge to transform becoming irresistable. She gasps as she thinks of something else that 'he knows', "Or that I'm an idiot?" Rhydian nods and smiles as he looks up at Maddy.

"I know, that you don't want to leave again, that you're sorry, that you didn't mean to, that you're an idiot..." he trails off after listing things that he knows, then slowly he approaches her, cupping her face with his hands, seeing the veins on his skin. "And I know that I still love you." He says grinning.

Maddy smiles right back wrapping her arms around his neck and brining his face closer to hers, and as their lips meet his hands travel from her face to her waist. Once the transformation has taken place they snuggle up close together, nuzzling one another, Maddy's wolf tongue licks Rhydians furry cheek. They stay by each others side for a while until finally releasing a howl at the moon. In that one moment everything is bliss.

By morning, Shannon and Tom have great news to tell their friends. Shannons plan had worked, and it meant one thing... Maddy didn't have to leave.

They found the two – Rhydian and Maddy – lying together side by side with leaves and bits of wood stuck in their hair, dirt covering their faces. Shannon whispers to Tom, "Maybe its just a wolf thing." Though what the 'wolf thing' is, neither of them actaully know. Then both the sleeping figures in front of Tom and Shannon begin to stir. "Mornin' sleepy heads!" Shan shouts, causing them both to wince. Rhydian rubs his eyes as Maddy stretches.

"And OMG! Do we have some good news for you!" Tom announces, with a beaming smile.

"What?" Maddy and Rhydian say in unison.

"Well, me and Tom didn't want to lose the oter half of Maddian again, the other half being Maddy..." Shannon begins with an excited smile. Maddy turns her head to look at Rhydian in confusion, he shrugs, he's just as confused as she is.

"Maddian?" She asks, squinting as she looks up at Tom and Shan who are standing right where the sun beams through the tree's.

"It's our name for you two." Tom explains.

"Anyway! As I was saying! So me and Tom decided to come up with a plan. So we went inside to see the doctor looking ever so confused about the blood results he had. So we decided to clear things up...

Flashback

"Excuse me!" Shannon shouts running up to the confused looking doctor, he turned his attention from the paper in front of him to the two teenagers walking swiftly toward him.

"How can I help?" He asks, the previous confusion is evident in his tone.

"Yes, um, is that the blood test results to Miss. Maddy Smith?" Shannon asks, the man nodded, Shannon snaps her fingers, with an encouraging smile and adds, "Right, well I see you looked very confused sir. Well let me just point out to you that Miss Smith had been part of an extreme experiment which involved a lunatic taking the blood sample from another creature and mixing it with Miss Smith's. That might explain it." She... kind of explained, though of course it was a lie, and Shannon felt wrong for doing it.

"Well, it does actually. It seems Miss Smith has different DNA to that of a normal human." The doctor said, pushing his glasses up slightly on his nose. He turned to Shannon chuckling slightly, "Its either that or I'm getting too old for this job."

Shannon and Tom laughed along with the man. "Well, we could always take it with us, just to see if Miss Kelly's theory is right." Tom tried, reaching out to grab the paper the man held onto. The paper that had Maddy's test results on. The man looked between Shannon and Tom and the paper in front of him, before shrugging his shoulders and handing it over to Tom.

"There is nothing else strange on the page... except maybe how much chemicals that 'lunatic' used on Miss Smith. Well, I must get going now, patients to see. Goodbye."

And that was that.

Maddy looked at her friends in astonishment, and jumped to her feet wrapping her arms around both her friends, "Thank you!" she screamed in their ears. From on the ground Rhydian smiled, pulling a twig from out of his hair he stood up. Maddy let go of her friends and looked at Rhydian, jumping onto him before whispering in his ear, "I forgot to mention, I still love you too."

Authors Notes: Okie Doke! There will be a sort of... epilogue? Afterwards. Also I would like to point out that no my grammar is not great, merely because I don't understand it, nor do I remember it. Apology! Tell me readers, what do you think? Its soo close to Christmas, I can barely control my excitement! Also I am giving you guys the option to choose what I do next in writing of fanfictions:

1.A series of oneshots.

2.A story where Maddy forgets all about Rhydian and they have to start their relationship from scratch

3.A story where Rhydian returns from the wild with another girl hoping to make Maddy jealous, problem is, Maddy meets another wolfblood.

4.A story where Maddy has a dark secret that she has kept from Rhydian.

5.A story where Maddy and Rhydian have a baby/cub together but not everyone is happy about that (Don't ask me why, I don't know yet.)

There are other stories that I wanted to write, but didn't know how to make it an option... those stories, may or may not happen.
