Third person:

She walks quietly, or as quietly she could with her hoofs clicking on the forest floor. As she walked, her ears were perked up incase any other shifters mistake her for an actual deer and try to attack her. Once she heard the news, she tried her hardest to get back to the pack. But hadn't made it back in time, all she saw once she stepped foot into the territory was blood and corpses everywhere.

-Flashback-

Sprinting through the forest, broken branches flick against hersides, causing her to wince. She couldn't care, she needed to get there so she kept pushing and pushing till she smelled blood.

Slowing down to a slower pace, she peeks over the brushes by the pack house. Blood stained grass, wolves and humans corpses, all ages. She felt her eyes water and shook her head, she carefully crept around till she could see her father's house.

"Dad?" she calls out, she peeks in the backdoor, her ears perking up to listen to a response. Once she gets none, she walks in, what she see's will always traumatize her. On the floor, was her Dad, or the man who helped her a long time ago. Tears begin to well up as she notices his stomach. She had lost a sibling.. she nudges her Dad's cheek with her nose. "Goodbye, i'll always love you."

Her head laid low as she began to walk out of the front door, "I need to find my other Dad-" as soon as that thought appeared, it disappeared. In the front of the house was her other Dad, twitching as blood gored out of his side. She rushes over quickly, shifting back into a human.

"Dad!!" she cries out, he looks up at her and softly smiles. "Hey Rose."

-End of flashback-

She shakes her head to get rid of that horrid memory. Sighing, she looks up at the full moon, "I need to find him before he does."

Noah's Pov:

Yawning I walk on the sidewalk, looking at my phone occasionally to make sure i'm going the right way. I run my hands in my wet hair to brush it aside, it gets annoying time to time. Maybe I should get a hair cut soon.. we'll see.

"Noah!!" I hear a high pitched voice screech, geez ouch. Looking up I see Rosie and everyone else that was at the food place, and one new person. I softly smile at her and nod, "Hey Rosie." I say as she runs over to me and clings to my arm. Weird.., I raise my brow at her and look up seeing Brody gritting his teeth. I feel a soft tug on my arm, but what seemed to be a soft tug to me was Rosie using all her might to try and drag me. She finally lets go of my arm with a huff.

They begin to walk towards a trail in the forest, I just follow along as I admire nature. After a few minutes I finally speak up, quieting their conversations. "So where are we going?"

"Oh yeah we haven't told you anything huh, we are going to go swim in the lake up here." Jack pipes up, slowing down to walk next to me, swinging his arm around my shoulder. "Ah okay that seems fun, though I didn't really bring anything to swim in-"

"I figured, I brought extra shorts incase someone forgot." He smiles widely and I give a small smile back. We make small conversations talking about people at the school or the girls pipe in and talk about all the 'tea' that's happening. At some point they started to rate guys in the football team then the swim team.

We get there after a few hours of waking, which I don't mind but the others would say otherwise. The guys walk off to one side of the late as the girls go to the other so we could change. As I was taking off my shirt, I hear one of the guys whistle. I turn and quirk my brow, "What?"

"You gotta fill me in on the workout bud." I chuckle at the new guys comment, which I learned is Seth. After we all get done getting dressed, we wait till the girls say they are good. Which seemed like forever, geez what takes them so long?

"Hey Brody, Jack, Seth-" All three of their heads turn towards me, "-race yah!" I yell as I sprint to the water, them chasing close behind. Me being the one that won of course, Jack in second, Seth in third and Brody in last.

I didn't even notice how long we were in the water till the sun was setting. I sit down beside a tree, watching the sunset. Watching as the bright blue sky fades into different shades of reds, oranges, yellows, and even pinks. It was a beautiful sight to see. After a bit the rest of the group sat around me, Rosie sitting uncomfortably close to me. Almost brushing up against me, and every time she did. My wolf would scratch at my mind to push her away, which was causing me to gain a headache. I didn't pay much attention to their conversations, and only once in a while jumping in to say a word or two just to be quiet again.

Snap.

I snap my head from the sky to across the lake, no one noticing my shift in moods. My wolf starts to pace in my head, snapping his teeth. I frown my brows together as I move all my attention to across the lake. Sitting up straighter, I sniff the air. I've never smelled a scent like this before, it smelled like a wolf but also of rotten flesh? A howl breaks out between the tree's, causing everyone to also snap their heads towards the other side of the lake. But unlike my eyes, theirs held fear. "Okay we should get out of here!" Olivia whisper yells at everyone. Gaining a nod outta a lot of them besides me and Brody.

"Nah, we should go and investigate." Brody says with a smirk. I look over at him and quirk my brow again, I have been doing that a lot this trip.

He gets up and starts to walk along side the lake. "Brody are you insane? That sounded like a freaking wolf!" Rosie whisper yells at him.

"And? Oh wait, are you scared of a big bad wolf?" he teasingly says while smirking. I sigh and follow him, if it was a wolf then only one that could do anything, would be me. Plus whatever is over there is making my wolf go insane, i'm curious on what it is. "You guys can stay here and i'll follow Brody, okay?" I tell them as I catch up to Brody. Clearly them not getting the 'okay' they also follow close behind.

As we begin to get closer, we start to hear snarling and growing. I push Brody behind me, putting a finger to my mouth. He rolls his eyes and nod. The others stopped following whenever they heard the growls. They stare worriedly at us while we crept closer to get a closer look. We are probably idiots for doing this, but my curiosity is at its peek. Even my wolf is wanting to know what's happening now. I get down on my knee's crawling whenever the sounds get louder, Brody following suit. We peek over the bushes to see a clearing, of a few wolves. Definitely werewolves. Two pups and three adults, two of the adults fighting as the other one is by the pups. The rotten smell was coming from one of the wolves fighting. The dark brown one to be precise.

I look over at Brody and see fear begin to swell his eyes, I sigh and look back at the wolves. "Noah, we need to help them. It's a wild rouge fighting a family." he pushes at my mind to shift but I resist. "I can't, theres others here." He grunts and pushes for control.

"Noah-?" I hear Brody gasp out my name, I look over at him and see his face filled with fear. "What's wrong with your eyes, they're changing.." I look away quickly and shake my head, "I think you should take the others and go."

"What, n-"

"Now." I growl out causing Brody to nod quickly and get up to the others. I watch as they walk away, once I can't see them, I shift. Shaking out my fur quickly and stepping over the bush. Causing all of the wolves eyes to shift to me. The pups shaking worsen as they eye me, the one over them begins to do so. Suddenly I feel claws pierce my skin, I growl loudly as I jump back.

Snapping my jaws at the rouge that had jumped to attack me.

"Let me take over Noah." Slowly, I feel my wolf taking control, I sink back into the back of our mind. Watching as the fight went on..
