Kate's POV

I watched as Humphrey was sat down around the bonfire. I heard Menendez tell them to close their eyes and remember why they came to him. I was so curious for the reason they came to Menendez.

The bond fire flared up and the flames started to change. After a minute the fire was now a blue color. I was amazed and I could tell that Lilly and Garth were too. We kept watching and saw a memory from Felix. It showed how had lost his mother and his father had to raise him.

"Poor Felix" I said

The fire changed memories and it went to Cathy's memory. I felt bad for because she lost her only brother and loved him so much.

The fire went to Nikki's memory and I saw her with Humphrey. I got really angry that I started to claw the ground leaving deep claw marks.

"Calm down its just a memory" I thought to myself "No need to get angry over nothing"

Then once Nikki's memory was finished The fire flickered and it grew bigger. The fire went into Humphrey's memory. It showed everything that has happened to him.

"Oh my god... Humphrey" I said

"Hes been through so much pain and has lost so many people he loved" Lilly said in shock.

The fire showed all there had to offer then it showed Diablo. He had fur that was pure black as night and his eyes were white and creepy. His laugh was unimaginably horrifying. It sounded like death.

The fire flickered. It was back to its normal color. Menendez walked over to Humphrey.

"So you're the son of Diablo" he said

"Yes I am" Humphrey responded

He turned and walked to the middle of all four of them and looked at the fire.

"For the final part of the ceremony all of you must give me a small amount of your blood."

I was in shock when Menendez asked for their blood. I didn't think he would need it.

"As you wish Menendez." Humphrey answered

Humphrey's POV

Menendez had just asked for some of our blood so I picked up a sharp rock and cut a little bit of my arm. He came up with a piece of bark and let the blood slowly fall on top of it. I passed the rock to Nikki and she did the same.

After all of us gave Menendez some of our blood he mixed them together. He then threw it to the fire and fire flickered. The fire started to change colors.

It first turned white and then we look over to felix and he was glowing a white color. The fire then changed to red and cathy started to glow the same color. Nikki was next. The fire's color was now green and Nikki was glowing. It was my turn the fire changed blue and I noticed the Menendez was saying something that I didn't understand. Then I saw myself glowing and I closed my eyes because the was unbearable.

A minute a two later I heard a voice.

"You can now open your eyes" Menendez said

Open my eyes and put paw on my head.

"Ah my head hurts"

It was there I noticed something different. I look at my paw and it was blue. I check the other paw and they were blue too. I checked my tail the the tip of i was blue and I noticed the same with the tip of my ears. I looked down on my chest and there was blue swirl like symbol on my chest.

I looked at Felix and saw the he had the same thing but in white and under his eyes were like white markings. The only difference was that on his chest he had a wind symbol. The girls had the same thing but Cathy was red and Nikki was green. The other thing was that Cathy had a flare symbol on her chest and Nikki had a rock symbol on hers.

"Menendez! What's with the highlights!" I yelled.

"I have advanced your power so you may control it when you are in your other form but you only will turn when you have been angered." he explained

"I thought you were going to cure us?!"

"I know that your father will attack your packs on the next full moon so the only way to defeat him is to use your power and skills to defeat him."

"But why keep our powers?" I asked

"Humphrey your mother came to my den the day before she was murdered and told me that you and your friends had special gifts."

"What gifts?" Nikki asked

"Well Nikki you had the power to control earth and feel the presents of other wolves. Felix you had the power to control the wind and feel the breathing of any wolf. Cathy you have the power to control fire and your body temperature can change in the coldest of weather. Finally Humphrey you control water. You could breath underwater and carry it out to land if needed in battle."

"Wow so these are our gifts?" I asked

"Yes and they will help you defeat Diablo."

"Thank you Menendez for all your help."

"There is one more thing. If you still want to get rid of your curse bring me the blood of Diablo and I will lift the curse.

"Thank you"

We all started walking to the woods when I smelt something familiar. Then I remembered what it was.

"Kate you can come out." I said.

She slowly walked out of the bushes with Lilly and Garth.

"Its good to see you" I said

"Its good to see you too" and she gave me a kiss.

I pulled away "we all should find somewhere to sleep tonight."

They all nodded and we started searching.

10 minutes later

"Hey guys I found a den big enough for all of us." Felix yelled out

We all walked in and it was very big and there were some rooms Nikki and Cathy went into one room and Lilly and Garth went to the other. Me and Kate were left alone in main room. I walk around and found a comfy spot. I layed down and Kate walked over to me.

"So what's up?" I asked

"She came to me and layed down next to me.

"I'm so glad we're together" she said

"Me too"

She snuggled up to me. I gave her a goodnight kiss.

"Goodnight Kate"

Goodnight Humphrey"

Kate was the first to sleep and I stayed up a little longer thinking about my life with Kate. I soon put my arm around her and went to sleep.

Well heres a new chapter I hope you enjoy it
