Two large wolves escorted me and Amelie down to where the pack were, and Elliot trailed behind reluctant to leave my side.

When we were spotted by the pack, some cowered away and moved to protect their children and family, I had sudden pang if jealousy wishing I had a family that protected me, I quickly moved on in my thoughts not wanting to dwell on anything that may influence any important decisions I was about to make. I recognised some of them from beatings and callings I winced slightly at the memories and I felt Elliots hand on my waist in comfort, I smiled at him gratefully.

'Amelie...' I prompted

On que she put her forefingers to her temple and closed her eyes as wrinkles appeared on her forehead in concentration, Amelie seemed to glow and it made her face look radient, her pale skin soft and smooth and her curly dark blonde hair seemed to move as if there was a breeze in the room, when a low buzzing sound filled the room, everyone could sense it.

When Amelie opened her bright blue eyes, I looked back over the pack and each and every one of them had colours glowing from them.

Amelie explained 'The colours determine their true nature black and red being bad and evil. Green and light blue meaning good and rightious. Orange means traiterous and dark blue, brave. No one can fool the colours of true nature, what you see is what they are.'

Looking back over the crowd it was the black and red that stood out most but looking more closely there were more with good hearts than bad.

After speaking with Elliot we had decided that those with a good heart could have the oppurtunity to join our pack. The evil hearted were not going to be so lucky.

After putting the recently discovered evil hearted in with my father, they would be facing my wrath when I got round to them.

All those who we asked, chose to join with our forces. Wise choice. When walking out, I had the sudden impulse to look back round, as I did I caught sight of my mother and sister as our eyes met, all I could do was stare open mouthed. Mixed emotions rushed through me, after a tiring day I just needed a rest. Elliot came over from talking to a guy called Ugene and followed my gaze.

'Talk to them,' He told me quietly.

Suddenly I remembered. How could I forget.

I quickly scanned the room. Once. Twice. He wasn't here.

I half howled half screamed, as everything seemed to flow in slow motion. Ignoring Elliots attempts to stop me and calm me down and find out what was wrong, I ran out of there my hair flowing out behind me.

My footsteps pounding along the stone floor, as everything around me became blurred from the speed I was travelling at, I could faintly hear Elliot following behind me and shouting my name. But not even Elliot could stop me this time.

I knew my destination. The attic.

Pushing past the guards infront of the door, I did a high kick and bust open the great wooden door, making it slam against the wall with a loud clatter.

Walking up to Ron a deadly look plastered on my face, I could smell the fear in the room from him and the other prisoners in the room.

They all were tied up, hands behind their backs.

I grabbed Ron by his collar, lifting him right of the floor looking deep into his souless eyes, I could see my reflection staring back at me and grinned and evil smile as I realised my eyes had turned red.

But that quickly vanished when I remembered why I was here.

Shoving him against the wall, with him still in my hold and him hovering over the floor. He grunted and I snarled back in response.

I simply said one word, which also said so much.

'Jay.'
