A/N sorry it's been a while. I promised ClozzaWolfbloodSmith that it would be up last week, but to be honest I had completely forgotten – I'm so sorry! xx

Rhydian's POV

Rhydian help...

I hear a tiny voice inside my head, but its fading fast. I turn around to find the empty woods behind me. The space where Maddy lay was now vacant and she was nowhere to be found. I run in her general direction, latching on to her scent. I hoped she hadn't gone too far. I call her name a few times but I got no reply, each cry getting more frantic. I lose her scent, and pure panic steps in. I wander around for a few minutes, trying to find it again, but it is long gone. I run as fast as I can back towards the Smith's house. If anyone can find her, they can. I barge through the door, my breath came out in rips but that didn't stop me.

"You have to help Maddy," I all but scream at them. They were sitting at the kitchen table with mugs of coffee placed in their hands. I see them look at each other before calmly standing up and slowly walking towards me. "Come on! You don't understand you have to help her!"

"Why don't you just calm down, Rhydian and tell us what happened," Mrs S said to me, pulling me towards the living room. She sits me down on the armchair; I take deep breaths as I try to calm myself down.

"Well, we were out in the woods and we decided that we best come back as it was getting dark, I starting walking here, I heard Maddy in my head but it was faint, I think she was calling for help. I think maybe she was losing consciousness, and when I turned around, she wasn't there. I tried to follow her but I lost her scent, it was being masked by the wind and leaves and stuff,"

I look up nervously to see how they would react. They both seem to have a vacant look in their eyes.

"I was wandering you could help find her, you know with that cub stuff that you always talk about,"

"Rhydian, we ..." Mr S stammers, "We won't be able to find her," he looked to the floor embarrassed. Okay, now I'm totally confused!

"What? You managed when she ran away when she discovered Eolas, why can't you do it now?"

Mrs S take sighs before looking to Mr S to explain. He shook his heads, as if to say he had no idea what was going on, or how to explain it. Either way it was really starting to bug me – their daughter could be god knows where and they are debating stuff! Like seriously?!

"Aw, c'mon! Just tell me already," I say standing up

"It doesn't matter why we can't now, what matters is you can!" Mrs S said as she stood up to meet me.
