Part 48

James

finishing up as quickly as we could and throwing some clothes on felt like it took hours but it was probably only a few seconds before we were barrelling through the meeting room doors. 

"reinforcements have arrived," my father says quickly as people rush in and out of the room carrying supplies. 

before I have a chance to say another word a very bloody and very naked Tom stumbles into the room panting, there are scarlet splotches all over his body with deep purple bruising all over his arms legs and torso, red smears are all over his neck, indications of wounds that he had already healed, a chair is pushed behind him which he more or less collapses into. 

"had fun?" I ask raising a smile from him.

"nothing like clawing down a field full of fangers for an evening is there," he says with a grin but then winces holding his ribs.

"no better way to unwind my boy," My father says gently tapping him on the shoulder. 

"You better get those ribs checked," Mum says from behind me where she had been watching him. 

 "I will be healed soon and back out fighting" Tom replies with a slightly less painful chuckle. 

"Is there any point telling you to put some clothes on?" Jasmine asks with relief and humour in her eyes. 

"Only if you want to keep the fashion industry in business because they won't be on long and with the way it's looking out there at the moment others will be in greater need before this evening is over," he says managing to get back onto his feet and stretch out his arms.

Jasmine tenses beside me a few seconds before a creeping wave of energy washes over the room, a collective shudder ripples through us. 

 "Something tells me your correct about that," she says flashing worried eyes at me. 

"Let's get something to eat and drink quickly in case it's a while before we get the chance again," mum says putting a glass in both our hands before we have time to think about rejecting the offer, not that we intended to, we both happily drain the glass, tom also takes a big drink of water now feeling well enough to stand unaided. 

some form of meat and bread is brought in a few seconds later for us to eat quickly before getting ready to reenter the fight. 

Another wave of energy washes over us and I see Jasmine's eyes go wide. 

"What the hell was that?" James asks, his breathing suddenly heavy. 

"No...no they wouldn't!" Says Jasmine and for the first time I feel truly worried. 

"They wouldn't what?"I feel Jasmine reaching out and see her face go white 

"They've sent in ferals... blood-starved berserkers! James, they need you on the front lines now!"James darts to the door, shifting into his wolf form as he exists, quickly turning into a blur as I head to where my mother directs me.

Jasmine

"Tom if you can fight then please go and join them but be careful," I say watching him, he nods solemnly before rushing in the same direction as James, I roll up my sleeves knowing that very soon I will be joining them but right now there is someone I need to consult, and judging by the growing power I need to find her sooner rather than later.

I find Yasmine mixing healing potions where I left her but she is beginning to look like she needs a nice long bath and a cup of tea, her silver hair is now beginning to fall in loose curls from the braid she had tied to keep it from her eyes while she worked and her face is looking drawn and decidedly paler than before.
