Chise sat on the sofa worried sick about Elias and hoped that he would be alright and be able to get his true form under control.

Elias was in the forest fighting with himself and trying to shift back but his body refused to listen and he snarled and howled as he fought a fight he couldn't win. He gave up and ventured into the water and sulked there hoping that water, would help him calm down and be able to shift back.

Later that night Chise couldn't stay awake anymore. She had fallen asleep after she fed their son. She was worried and she fought to stay awake. She fell fast asleep on the bed and didn't sleep soundly but she slept.

Elias was still in the water slowly gaining control of himself. He didn't have complete control but he was getting there. He sighed and closed his eyes and just let his body work this out.

Early the next morning Chise was up and she was so tired. She tossed and turned all night as sleeping in an empty bed without Elias was hard and she was sad. She got up and checked on Rin and then she headed to the front door of the house. She was stopped by Ruth. ''going out to search for Elias?" he asked starring at her. Chise sighed, ''yes I can't help it… "''its alright I'll go with you can't have you going by yourself he would kill me if I let that happen'' he said wagging his tail.

Chise smiled and she pet his head, "thank you Ruth'' She said leaving the house with him. She looked around and followed Elias's footprints and she hoped that he was alright and, that he was able to change back. She followed his prints and went into the woods. "Elias are you aright please say your alright?" she asked as she was worried sick.

Elias had fallen asleep in the water but he had been able to shift back during early morning. Chise called out to him and when she finally found him she was so happy, She ran over to him in the water and lifted up his head and placed it in her lap. "I was so worried about you'' she said kissing his head. Elias slowly woke up and he smiled. " I'm happy to see you Chise I'm so sorry about last night I don't know what came over me but I seem to have myself under control right now'' he said nuzzling her. Chise smiled, "I'm glad how about we head home I bet Rin would be happy to see you'' she purred. Elias nodded and he stood up and dried himself off with magic. Then he picked up Chise and took her home.

When they got home Elias picked up Rin and nuzzled him.. "hello there little one daddy is home'' he purred. Rin smiled and kicked his little feet and purred, He curled up in his father's arms and smiled. Chise watched them and she smiled, She took a picture on her phone and smiled, "you two are adorable together'' she said happy to have him home. "so do you think that you'll change again tonight?" she asked. Elias thought about it, "I think so yes but I'll probably leave again tonight just to be safe I don't want to hurt you or Rin'' he said wishing this wouldn't happen and that It was a one time thing.

Chise sighed, "well alright just be careful I love you'' she said leaning against his side.

Elias smiled and nuzzled his little family, "I love you too and I'll be careful I promise'' he said kissing her head.
