Sorry about the typo in the first chapter guys -_-; I fixed it though. I think.

Luna rubbed her eyes sleepily as she stood up from her pillow and walked through the doorway to find what had awakened her. Guards were running down the halls, as were all the previously caged lycans. Her eyes met several's gaze as she watched them run off and heard the sounds die down. Things grew quiet. It's too quiet she thought. Her senses heightened. She swung around to find herself face to face with a seven foot, ferocious, muscular beast with its fangs bared. Before she had time to react, it took its large paw and swiped at her face. Blood spilled onto the floor. Four huge gashes protruded vertically from the right side of her face. She fell to the floor, screaming, baring her fangs, and clenching her face. The beast roared and moved closer to her, its intent to kill. Luna used her telepathy to call for help, as others could read her thoughts if she forced them into their head. A guard ran towards the beast, slaying it with the strength of his sword. Its body crumpled to a bloody mess on the floor. Its stench filled the air and Luna vomited onto the stone. The guard helped her up and started to run to the infirmary. They passed a scene in the courtyard. Sonja was pointing a sword at her father. Luna gazed, her vision blurry as she was diving in and out of consciousness, at the scene before she fell unconscious.

Luna awoke to a soft poking at her face. A nurse was stitching up her face. Tears poured from her eyes. Thank god I can see she thought. Her right eye was not maimed in the attack. But her face suffered from irreversible damage. Normal flesh wounds would heal in the blink of an eye, but such injury from a lycan would not heal. Of course, Luna could care less about her looks so her scars were nothing to her. She was just glad to be alive. If only I were fully awake, I would've killed it. She thought. Her fighting skills were top notch if not the best in the entire coven. Her trick was speed. She was the fastest of all she knew, although she wasn't the strongest. Her sister was.

Viktor entered the room, following several guards. He looked extraordinarily hurt. Something plagued his heart. But Luna chose to stay out of his head. She figured that what he was thinking would be made known to her shortly. His visits were never for nothing. "I'm so sorry, my daughter," he said, his face barely breaking its usual stoic nature. "I should have been there for you. I know you're probably wondering what has happened. Let me explain. Your sister," he hissed, "has been cavorting with the animal Lucian. She bares his child, a mix of the breeds. It's disgusting, is it not, my dear?" He stared at her. "Yes, father," she replied. "It's disturbing indeed. What is their punishment, my lord?" "Death.

You are wanted at the council meeting tonight. We must discuss whether or not this is truly the right punishment for those pathetic excuses for beings." Luna nodded and Viktor left the room. The nurse finished with the stitching and let Luna free to roam the castle. Luna walked down the dead hallways, silently, and passed by a mirror. Her face was terribly frightening. Her scars were ugly and swollen and some of her lip was torn. She walked on. The council meeting was to start in a minute. Luna opened the doors to the room and walked past her sister and Lucian, her face serious and her eyes fixed on her father. Thoughts were buzzing in her head. She didn't want her sister to die. Nor Lucian. It was a miracle, the baby inside her sister's belly. But she could do nothing. If she said no to her sister's judgment she would be killed as well. Or exiled from the coven.

The room was dead quiet except for Luna's thoughts which were so loud they could almost be heard aloud. Sonja was crying for help but Luna shook her head. She could do nothing. Lucian was pleading with her as well but nothing could be done. A man read out the punishment and crimes and asked the council for an answer. One woman said aye. Then two, then three. Soon the room was echoing with the word. Lastly, it came out of her father's mouth. Aye. Lucian begged him for forgiveness and Sonja cried. Luna's was the last answer. She parted her lips, touched her scars, and said, "Aye."
