Breakfast was awkward to say the least. Once I walked out of the cabin with my wolves by my side, everyone started at me. I walked calmly to my table with Nico and my wolves hopped up on the bench next to me, growling at anyone who camewithin
/5 feet of me, even at Nico. I felt at ease and relaxed for once. I felt like I was safe with my wolves.
I ate in peace. Then I went to the arena with my wolves trailing behind me. I slashed and hacked at the dummies until they were just piles of hay and armor. My wolves fought by my side the entire time. I couldn't let my guard down. Not for one
wolves stood panting and their tongues out of their mouths in a wolffish grin.
All day people avoided me and I could be alone for the first time since I got here. As a loner I appreciated the peace and quiet.
I went to the arena for a late night training session. I demolished the remaining dummies and got some water. I sensed that something was wrong seconds before Luna and Shadow started to growl with their lips curled into a snarl. They were glaring atthe
/shadows in the corner of the arena.
There was a person standing in a full black outfit with a good covering his face. He was obviously not friendly and he wasn't a demigod. He was a monster, which would explain how he appeared in the shadows. But that would make any sense because of the
/border.
"Are you going to stare at me for a while longer?"
"What do you want." I growled. My wolves were on edge and they were itching to fight.
"That, I'm afraid I cannot answer."
I glowered at him. "Then leave, monster, there is nothing for you here."
"There's the problem. My mission was to capture you."
"Not very likely that that will happen."
He lifted his head enough for me to see his crazy grin.
"Very likely, Krystal Johnson."
My senses went haywire as I realized that there were about 20 other monsters surrounding me. He chuckled as he walked away.
"Have fun boys."
Low chuckles came from the shadows as the monsters emerged from the shadows. They had a strange weapon. The first shot and I saw it as a dart. I put my arm up to deftect it and as soon as it made contact my arm erupted in pain. A screamed as poison from
the dart raced up my arm. My eyesight became blurry as I was shot twice more. They shot Luna and Shadow as well.
I'm sorry that we couldn't save you this time Krystal.Luna whispered in my head. It will be many days until we will be healed again.
Until next time Krystal. Shadow said.
As my wolves melted into shadows, tears started to fall. There was nothing I could do for them or for me. The last of my strength left me as my vision faded to darkness.
