Midnight was completely veiled in darkness watching the events play out before him. He grit his teeth in anger his claws sank into the ground and reared back for a pounce. He targeted Kenny and lunged straight towards him. He slammed into Kenny's side with such force, all of the wind was expelled from Kenny's lungs and he was forced unconscious for a second.

As Kenny rolled away, Midnight turned with lightning speed and rammed his shoulder into Adam's side to separate him from Kenny. Adam rolled away and Midnight growled angrily. The only sign of his presence was the ominous glow of his emerald green eyes. His attention then turned to the bleeding Amy. He rushed to her side and examined her wounds.

"Dammit," he grimaced and turned to the shrubbery for the herbs he needed. He grabbed several different leaves and placed them over Amy's wounds. She continued to bleed, but it slowed down and became less intense.

"How dare you," Adam growled as he recovered from Midnight's attack. Midnight looked up and snarled menacingly.

"How dare I? You were the ones who attacked us, we just needed shelter for the night," he barked loudly. Lightning flashed and thunder boomed as Midnight stepped in front of the others. Adam started to growl but then stopped. He looked at Midnight curiously but Midnight wasn't phased.

"I know you from somewhere," Adam said. Midnight looked at Adam as if he had gone insane.

"You know me from nowhere, I've been a lone wolf almost all of my life, these six are the first wolves I've seen in almost two years," he barked hurtfully. Adam continued to look at Midnight, who cautiously kept his eyes on Kenny. The silence was occasionally broken by the crash of thunder and the sniffles of the others who had fallen relatively silent. Adam's eyes widened and his jaw hit the ground.

"I remember you now, my father was friends with yours," he said. Midnight's ears shot straight up and he cringed as if he had smelled something sour.

"WAS, until he killed him and my mother" Midnight said grimly. Midnight looked like he was ready to pounce and rip Adam's throat out, and they were surprised he didn't. Adam hung his head low and he nodded.

"Yeah, but that was my father, not me. Come on, you can stay with us for tonight," Adam said apologetically. Midnight sighed and looked back at the group. They were in no shape to keep moving, especially Amy.

"Fine, but you dare harm any of these wolves, and I will personally gut you like a caribou," he growled. Adam nodded with a gulp and allowed them into the den. Midnight carefully picked up Amy with some assistance from Salty and sat her in the den. The group sat in silence, most of them piled around Amy, desperately trying to ensure she was going to be alright.

Midnight however, sat at the entrance of the den mumbling something to himself. Rachel noticed him and decided to go check on him. She sat down beside him quietly without saying a word, just trying to decipher what he was saying.

"You alright," she asked thoughtfully.

"I'll be better once I'm away from this place," he replied.

"Adam is nothing like his father Midnight, he only attacked you to protect me," she said, but Midnight shook his head.

"You didn't see what I saw that night, you weren't there," he said bluntly. He stepped out into the rain and sighed.

"Where are you going," she asked worriedly.

"For a walk," he replied stepping out into the darkness.

"I'll go after him," Adam said shooting off after him. Amy stopped bleeding and started to wake up groggily.

"W-where am I," she asked.

"It's alright Amy, you're safe," Lori whispered.

"Where's Midnight," she asked worriedly. The others looked around and finally noticed his disappearance, as well as Adams.

Midnight walked aimlessly through the trees as that horrible night replayed over and over in his head. He made sure that he didn't drift too far from the den as he continued mumbling to himself.

"Midnight, wait up," Adam called out. Midnight ignored him and continued his pacing.

"Listen, for what it's worth, I'm sorry for what happened to your parents," Midnight looked over as if the apology was offensive.

"You think this is about my parents? This is far more than that, this is about those years of solitude I have spent out here, the loneliness I've felt for the majority of my life. I can never go back to living in a pack, the life I have lived has practically driven me crazy, I would never survive. There are three wolves back there who would do anything to have those alpha's love them. Make sure it gets done," Midnight said teary eyed as he turned to walk away.

"Wait what do you mean, where are you going," Adam protested.

"To apologize to someone," he shouted as he shot of into the night. Adam started to chase him, but his heart stopped him. He knew no matter how much he would protest Midnight wouldn't listen. Midnight, was gone.
