Sorry again for the late update everyone. I've got a LOT of stories to update…three. I know, right? IM SOOOO BUSY. (hopefully you cught the sarcasm.) I also have MORE ideas for stories that I want to write sooooo badly but I know it's a bad idea LOL. So a little less about me and more about "let's see if Sonny survives this next chapter" stuff. Ready? Yippee!!

Disclaimer: don't own SWAC

Also, it's not too detailed, but there is some blood in this chapter. Watch out on Chad's point of view.

Sonny.

xXx

Hopefully you caught the almost.

Of course, I, being the vampire that I am, was stronger than the three wolves in current combat. Because they weren't wolves yet. I had gotten Lily to realize I was so furious with her and could kick her butt that she hadn't thought about morphing. Also, the smart boyfriend I have was intelligent enough to morph before turning on Lily and I to pounce on Jackson.

In less words: We are currently in the lead.

There are the pros and cons of the situation though:

All of the vampire fighters that Collin had collected were average fighters (a few would be considered as good as Collin, Chad and I- maybe even better) and our side had already incredibly outnumbered the wolf pack. PRO.

The wolves were only powerful- overstatement- when they are in wolf form, and now they are not, therefore increasing the option of the vampires- and Chad- winning. PRO.

All of the people on my side were too into the conversation to notice the dozen other wolves coming towards us through the trees. CON!

And I think that last one cancels out the first two. Dang.

I smashed Lily hard in the face with my fist, not even thinking about what I was doing. Screams and moans erupted through my own backyard. Lily fought back, or at least tried, and was making many attempts to get me on my back- all of which had failed miserably. She was no match for me when she wasn't in her strongest form. My clever hands reached for her hair. No, people, we're not going to pull each other's hair and swing our hands all over the place and have a girly catfight. I'm going to kill her. Too bad I can't make it slow.

I grabbed a handful of her stringy, greasy dark hair. At the same time, she had a hold of my ankle. I gasped as I lost control and she was over me. My hand let go of her as I tried to steady my fall and come back up with a smooth attack. Her elbow flew towards my face and I thought on my feet- uh, my back.

I waited till the last possible moment to sharply push her elbow to the right of me and catch her off guard, flipping her over. She would have fallen onto her back like I had if I didn't hold my hands beneath her. Once again my hand went to her hair. Grabbing a fistful of it, I didn't hesitate to bring my knee up to the back part of her head, the weakest point of the skull. I made contact and my leg had crushed her skull, pushing it into her brain.

And she was dead.

For the very first time, I had killed another.

Oh, and don't even act as if you wouldn't like it if it was lily, either.

I wanted to look around and see how my side of the fight was doing, but I could hear a very fast set of paws increasing in volume- the dog was coming toward me.

I didn't know how good these wolves were, so I put my acting skills to the test- I began to jog away from it as if to go hurt someone else. The steps got faster. It was directly behind me now. In a flash I was around and still. The eyes of the jet black wolf widened and it tried to scurry to a stop. I was now beneath it. I didn't think twice when I brought my hand up- hard- to its heart, crushing the bones around it and probably smashing the heart itself. With a squeal of agony, the wolf fell to the ground with a soft thud. I listened as it took in one last, hitched breath and it lay still.

And it was dead.

For the second time, I had killed another.

I would absolutely NEVER admit how good it felt aloud.

Once again I looked out towards the green. No sandy wolf caught my eye. In fact, I didn't even see him. I immediately hyperventilated. Where was he? Was he hurt? I didn't have time to think; someone was coming toward me.

…but it wasn't paws.

"Sonny," Collin said urgently. I didn't need to do any more than widen my eyes to warn him there was a dog behind him- for he had already flipped it around and smashed his fist into his face, then kicked him right in the chest. I realized I should do that, too, just too make sure the wolf was dead.

"Look at me," Collin said once more, grabbing my shoulders so I could look him in the eye. "Look me in the eye."

I stared at his bright, adrenaline filled green eyes for exactly five seconds before he flew away like a bullet.

OW!

Oh, I'll show that bloodsucker…

Jesus, I need help!

Sonny.

Where are the other wolves?

Hmm…who to go after next?

Sonny, listen to me. Was that Collin?

Yes Sonny, it's Collin. Try to block the other thoughts out immediately. Listen. Focus on me.

His voice was in my head. As if my conscience were trying to speak to me. It was as if you held down a pedal on the piano and the words lulled together softly. I was reading Collin's mind. I could read minds!

Right now you can, he said. Listen to me and don't get distracted.

I began to fight another wolf approaching from the east.

Okay, multitask. You can read my mind because you looked into my eyes.

I punched the wolf in the face, just barely hitting him, but made some contact although his face moved to the side in an attempt to avoid it.

It took you five seconds to capture my power. That is what you do. That is your power. To capture the power of others.

I faked a punch from the right, the wolf turning in that direction to block me, but then I pulled my arm back and smashed its leg with mine. It tumbled to the ground and I punched it directly in the heart.

Our side is doing well, but not well enough. Many have already fallen.

I couldn't hide the fact that freaked me the heck out.

Your power is exactly what we need to keep us in the lead. You must-

Suddenly a huge draft flew through the area, and my hair whipped around with it. I searched around desperately for something to do, someone to help. Then, a tree snapped and fell directly on a huge, dark brown wolf. I stared with my mouth agape.

Exactly, Collin continued. The wolves are already outsmarting Anthony's power to control the elements. Earth, wind, water, fire. You must capture his power Sonny, you must. His power doubled…

His voice was hard to make out in the loud chorus of chaos.

Collin spoke incredibly fast. You're losing my power now, it fades in a few minutes. Track down Anthony, capture the power and give us some more help…

The voice disappeared within my mind, and I couldn't see Collin so I could catch him and understand the rest of what he was trying to say.

I was overwhelmed by this new information. I could capture powers? Which means I pretty much could have every power anyone else might have? In less than five seconds I could become stronger than I previously was in any way imaginable.

Yep. That's what it means.

Okay, Anthony...Anthony, Anthony, Anthony…

Chad.

I was so elated with my recent epiphany that it took me longer than necessary to jump on Jackson. It took me less than a second to morph and pounce on him, for I was a little jostled. It felt even colder without Sonny in my arms, now, and I didn't like it. I wanted her beside me so we could fight together.

I mean, come on. When you recently find out how to tell the one you love you want to be with them forever, the last thing you want to do is leave them so they could go fight some wolves by themselves.

So I'm not the happiest right now.

There was always those thoughts that ran through my head- that Collin oh so cleverly heard- that would bug my a ton. What if Sonny got hurt? What if she didn't want to hurt anyone like she had with Jackson?

Oh, right. Jackson.

I shook my head and realized I was flying through midair having already gone all wolf. Jackson was beneath me in a second. I looked down at him, ready in a second to lower my teeth to his neck and rip his human head off. I looked into his eyes.

Something shot through me. Something enormous coursed throughout my veins and made me shiver. I wanted to kill Jackson a lot for the past few weeks, but now…Now, I don't know. I thought, Who was I to hurt one like me? Who was I to murder someone who was only fighting to protect me? Who was I to kill my own brother? Well, there was Lily…

So I don't know what happened when I got up and turned away from Jackson. Then my last thought changed as I looked ahead- never mind, there was no Lily. She just had her skull crushed by her arch enemy- my girlfriend. That makes me feel amazing.

I want to be with Sonny. I in no way regret loving her the way I do. I want her with me. I want to stroke her hair, I want to hold her hand, I want to kiss her lips. But I don't want to kill her in any way whatsoever. Same goes to my pack.

So with that in mind, I turned around to go kill some wolves I didn't know. I mean, what's so wrong with that?

I caught Collin getting double-teamed by two smaller wolves who looked very light on their feet. They circled Collin like he was prey- which was pretty much dead on. Collin, with his arms out in a ready position, whipped his head around every other second to watch the other wolves. Hooked on the adrenaline of the fighting, I jumped high and let my front paws knock the wolf to the ground. It rolled over and both of us were on our backs for a millisecond. Then we were up. I heard Collin's grunt of appreciation before he began to fight with the other wolf.

This wolf had a maroon tint to it. Its red brown fur was striking against the green background, shocking when the sun lay on it. Hey, my fur probably looked ten times better. I lunged toward him and he did the same, both of our sets of teeth were prepared to sink into the other's skin. But I caught him off guard by hitting his leg with my paw and he buckled to the ground having twisted his knee the completely wrong way. Ouch. I brought my head down and did the most gruesome thing- I ripped his head off. Blood spurted from his body as the skin disconnected. I turned away immediately, the tiniest bit grossed out. Collin had already killed the other wolf easily.

"Nice one, man." He said quickly, and ran away with a purposeful stride.

Hmm…who to go after next?

I thought about Sonny again. Where was she? I tried to look around for her, but I didn't see her at all. Huh. I heard another wolf coming from behind me. I sighed and prepared to kill him too.

As I was in the process of taking this stranger's life, I couldn't help but think about what I was going to do to tell Sonny how much I needed her.

…But what if she didn't survive?

That thought made it extra fun to bite down on this one's neck and have his head detach from its body, blood staining the now-red grass.

I didn't know where else to go. The smell of blood coursed through my nose, into my body. It made me feel sort of sick. It had been a long time since I actually killed another, let alone the fact to spill their blood. As I looked around, looking for someone in particular, I became overwhelmed with the amount of dead bodies strewn along the ground. For a moment I was aggravated that the wolves had fallen, but I remembered I was on the vampire's side. The sensible side. I became dizzy, realizing just now how made lives had been lost. Taken. So I wasn't prepared when a wolf came from behind and bit down- hard- on my hind leg. I fell to the grass, thinking of what I would look like in contrast to the others on the floor- dead. But I didn't have much time to worry before my attacker was pushed to the ground and killed in an instant.

I watched as the blond vampire picked me up and ran like a bullet away from the chaos. After we had run for about twenty seconds that fighting was only a soft chatter to my ears, despite the thumps of people being thrown top the ground, punched in the face, kicked in the heart. She lay me down and I nodded my thanks, after she returned it she quickly ran back to Sonny's backyard to participate in the loudness. I morphed. Bad idea. The pain increased incredibly in my human form. I sat up and held my leg, wishing that it would heal ten times faster- although injuries already healed exceptionally faster than a human. I waited quite impatiently for it to seal up.

I looked away from the bloody bite mark to check my surroundings. The adrenaline wore off in a few seconds and turned into a cheesy softness. We were by the lake. The lake that Sonny and I had been near when she ran away from me and I found all those drawings…

Only a few minutes past and I was almost completely healed. Only a few minutes past and she was here.

I couldn't hold back the relief that panged in me when I saw her. I was elated to see she was not hurt; that she was okay. I wanted to reach out and grab her, but she was already coming toward me. I could see she was relieved, too.

"Oh, Chad." Sonny moaned. "I thought I smelled you out here." She noticed the bite mark. "Are you alright?" Her face immediately became worried.

I couldn't keep the smile off my face as she came down next to me to check it out.

"I'm fine," I murmured, not able to keep my eyes off her. Even after killing some wolves, she looked beautiful. Her hair was disheveled, her eyes filled with adrenaline that were softening and turning caring. She brought her hand to my leg and brushed her freezing fingers over it. And after that, there wasn't even a scar. I stared. "How did you-"

"Collin told me about it." She said with a soft smile, looking at me. I looked at her. Brown met blue. She reached up and swiped my bangs from my forehead. But then her eye changed from loving to determined. "We're wasting time."

"I wouldn't mind wasting time," I mumbled pathetically.

Her laugh was like bells ringing through the peaceful clearing.

Then, she ran to the edge of the lake, her arms reaching out as if to grasp something. I stared at her body as long as I could, and from across the water snapped from its roots and glided through the air and into her hands. My mouth hung agape as I watched the scene. She held it like it was a feather.

"I'll explain later," she said quickly. "But we need some serious help out there."

And we both ran back to her backyard to find that almost an eighth of the vampires we'd had had fallen or weren't here. Sonny immediately spotted three wolves on a vampire in the perfect position. She smirked mischievously and through the huge tree- leaves first- toward the wolves advancing the poor, young, female vampire. The wolves tumbled to the ground with plenty of whines and girlish squeals. The vampire then finished them off and yelled to us, "Thank you!"

"Chad," Sonny turned to me. I looked at her. "Don't do anything stupid. The last thing I want to do after this is over is arrange a funeral for you."

I took her caring to my advantage. "Ditto, Sonny."

She smirked and flew off, and I watched as she caught a wolf who was currently fighting from behind and finished him off, too. The other vampires were busying themselves helping others. Around me everyone fought one another. People screamed. Some had tears streaking down their faces as they fought more and more of the enemies. But Sonny didn't look away from the wolf she had just downed. She just stood there with her head tilted down to stare at him. A saw the tear in the instant it fell from her cheek to the ground. Sonny knelt down and stroked the wolf's face before standing up and turning away. More tears. I watched intensely before she got hit from the side.

I didn't have to help her. Though, I still found myself walking toward her. After several attempts of trying to get away from the wolf who had her pinned, she sagged. There was a look in her eyes that the wolf took into account. Did she just give up?

I could detect the wolf's smirk as he opened his mouth to expose a set of white, sharp teeth. Sonny's head turned to the side; toward me. I stood about twenty feet away, watching. Frozen from shock. The wolf closed its eyes and lunged his head at her throat. She watched me and smirked. What the-

Her hands shot up and wrapped around both the bottom jaw and topped. Then, she pulled them apart.

I felt like cheering when the jaw broke away from the wolf body and Sonny threw it to the ground. The screams coming from the wolf's mouth- well, half of it- were, I just noticed, the only ones left. No one else was fighting.

Sonny finished the wolf off. Looking at the dead body as she stood up. Then, we all looked around.

"Hey, guys?" Sonny called to the group of vampires. "I think we won."

Cheers burst from the other vampires.

Sonny took one more look at the murdered wolf- it was gruesome, may I tell you- and then ran to me. I was more than happy to wrap my arms around her.

Boy that was longer than I thought it would.

Then something hit me.

"Is my pack dead?" I asked the others.

No one spoke. They all looked to each other, all of them expecting an answer from the others. Oh, gosh.

"They must have fled the fight when the other wolves came!" Maggie, for I learned her name before the fight, exclaimed.

"Oh my God." Sonny murmured.

And then my pack emerged from the trees.

Guess this isn't over yet.
