I have pile of chapters in my lappy that hasn't been published yet.. :P So now on with the story then.. :)

She is really broken into pieces right now. That bastard is going to pay for that. Paul thought as he phased into a giant wolf-bear in the middle of the night. He ran through the thick lush forest towards nowhere. He just needed some release; after all, he had seen his sister become someone he nearly did not recognize.

Inhaling the sweet freshen scent through his muzzle, he tried to calm himself down. Once he reached the cliff, where he and his 'brothers' always dove recreationally, he sat on the edge of it. Feeling the cold breeze hitting his fur, he calmed down a bit.

What are you doing here, Paul? Seth's thoughts came into his mind. He spun his big head around to see Seth small body coming towards him.

I just need some fresh air. Paul answered him, instantly dropping the image of his sister from his thoughts.

Are you feeling okay, bro? Seth is the one to care about people around him even though he could not make it better; being just a good listener is enough.

I'm fine, dude. Stop being a pansy. Paul chuckled, shaking his wolf head lightly.

Seth just snorted playfully. I'm not being a pansy, Paul. You know me, I'm the bestest and proudest of the pack. He flashed that smug smile to Paul and sat down beside him. Wiggling his tail, he looked at Paul only to see him staring into the air. Then, he caught a slight glimpse of Kathy's image. Seth's smile faded.

Who is she? Seth asked after a moment of relative silence. Paul's head snapped towards him, feeling the anger come bubbling up again. Instantly Seth stood on all fours, shocked at his expression.

Paul shook that thought away and stood on fours too, facing Seth fully.

I'm sorry Seth, I… I'll explain later, and don't tell anybody about her. Paul demanded.

It's okay. Just know that if you need someone, I'm here. Seth smiled sincerely, feeling a bit relieved that Paul was not mad. Paul just nodded his head and looked down at the water below.

Well, I had better go now; Sam will be pissed if I skipped patrol. Seth thought. Once again, Paul just nodded, turning away and he sat back down on the cliff.

Seth walked away feeling offended a little that his bro would not talk to him. Being the youngest in the pack, Seth had gotten used to being a spoiled little kid.

Paul started to think about his sister again once Seth was out of range. He sat there thinking about her, in what ways can he help her, pull her out of her dark, feared world?

After a good 20 minutes or so, he started running again until he saw the sight of the sun making its way up to reveal its very bright light to the world.

Kathleen woke up to the sound of the the front door been closed. She sat up straight in her bed. Where am I? Who is that? She thought, and then it dawned on her that she was in her new bedroom and that he was far away from her.

She pulled herself out of bed and made her way downstairs towards the living room. There was no one there. She started to panic. Then her eyes drifted to the closed front door. Did mom leave her? No it can't be! She rambled in her thought. Maybe she's in the kitchen. She assumed again making herself calm down.

Once there, she found no one, not even Paul. Where were they? Her eyes started to water. She blinked as the tears traced their way down her flushed cheeks.

"Mom" she called above a whisper. She had been feeling at home since last night.

The front door burst opened revealing Paul, who looked like he'd been running 24/7. She quickly wiped her eyes with her sleeves.

Paul was at the front door when he heard the frantically beating heart of Kathy inside. What was wrong? Immediately he snatched the door open just in time to hear her as she called for mom.

He walked towards the kitchen and saw a note on the table near the microwave.

Then, his eyes drifted her way. She sniffled finally able to get rid of the tears. She looked back to see a note attached to the microwave. It wasn't there just now! She objected.

"Hey… what's wrong?" he asked making his way towards her. She backed away a little by the sudden voice.

She shook her head 'no' and looked down.

"Then, why are you crying?" he pried .

"I didn't" she lied. Still a stubborn little girl. He thought.

Paul sighed.

"Okay" he nodded and walked away towards the front room. Once he was out of sight, she quickly snatched the note and began to read it.

Morning, honey.
Went to buy some groceries. Love, mom.

Relief washed through her. She put the note back down and started in the direction of the stairs to take bath.

She looked over at the front room and saw Paul sprawled over the couch snoring.

She climbed the remaining stairs, quickly took her clothes off, and stepped into the bath.

The water ran through her mahogany brown hair and made her feel fresh. After a good 15 minutes, she walked out of the bathroom and into her room, changing her clothes.

In the kitchen, her mom was already back from the market and was placing the groceries into the fridge.

Kathleen closed the gap between them and knelt down beside her.

"Do you want some help?" she asked.

"Oh, morning, sweetie. No, no. I've just finished. Can you please wake your brother up? We're going to eat breakfast soon." Her mom answered.

"Sure". With that, she turned to wake him, but stopped when she saw he was already up.

He smiled at her, a gesture which she returned, shyly.

"Come on, you two. I can't stand this poverty any longer." Her mom remarked teasingly.

She slipped into the seat in front of him while her mom sat beside her.
