I look down to the open space in the forest. It's large, not large, as in 'this is big' but large as in 'it's enormous.' The campings that are there stretch out till the horizon with no end. But in the center of it all, there is a bigger camp than others. More luxerious too, which they seem to show in the dim light of the moon proudly. "Is that where he is?", I ask to Jonah. He scoffed in return. "Of course he is. He's never been afraid to show he's on top", He said. 

So this is it... There is Johannes Key. At last I found him. An image of Fillip smiling crosses my mind. And for a moment I find my hope back to get back a normal life. To see my family and friends, to go back to school and live life any other human. 

I have not failed you, Fillip...

As we made our way down the hill into this so called kingdom of werewolves. I felt being watched. It's clear the other werewolves here smelled our arrival. And they didn't seemed too pleased at all. 

I wanted to be put down, not wanting to seem weak in front of them. I pulled slightly on Liam's coat and he seems to understand my signal. He changes from position and puts me onto his back. We walk slowly cautiously to the center. From afar it seems like something smaller. But now we're standing right in front of it, it's big. Like a small castle or temple, hidden in between the trees of the forest. We stop in front of the entrance. Jonah was before us, talking to a guard. He looked suspicious and stayed suspicious as Jonah walked back to us. "No strange werewolves are allowed in the king's territory", He simply said and looked at me. I got off Liam's back, my leg hurting as soon it hitted the ground. But I bit my teeth hard, and fight through the pain. I walk over to Jonah, he grabbed my wrist leading me to the entrance. I look for a last time back. There is a chance that if Johannes Key does what I assume Fillip meant, I would never see them again.

As we get inside I feel tense. Like a hand squuezed my heart tightly, not allowing me to breath. I looked around. The castle was simple, old. Yet you felt its powerful aura going though the halls. Jonah still leads, me, his walking slow but his face stayed like usual cold. But in his eyes I noticed the tensity he's experiencing. He probably hasn't seen his brother in years. 

"Are you nervous?", I asked. Jonah doesn't say anything but I could notice his features soften. "It's weird coming back here...", he said eventually. "Does he know that Fillip died?", I asked. Jonah eyes turn to me, his piercing gaze in mine. I'm almost used to it. But that doesn't make them less beautiful. "Yes, I think he does", He said. "He got spies anywhere so it would surprise me if he didn't." "Would he be sad?" Jonah was silent again. "I dont know." There was a silence between us before he stopped and so did I. Taking a bit of the wall to support my leg. "Here", he said and took my notebook. The same one where I wrote all my notes in. "How did you-" "I was curious. And I called it bad. It's actually..." he paused, a soft hint of pink coming up his cheeks and spoke silently. ".. not as bad as I thought." 

A smile came upon my face as I took it from him. "Thank you, Jonah", I said, a warm fuzzy feeling coming inside of me but disappeared. "Will we see each other again after this?", I asked.  Maybe I'm imagining it but.. I could see the corner of his lips go  up slightly. "We will", he said. "I'll make sure of that." 

We come by a large space. The cold stone ground filled with cushions and soft blankets. Up the stairs a bed, even some tables and other accessories to dress the room. 

On a chair sits a male. His face having the same features as Jonah. Sharp jawline, only his hair is a dark blond instead of brown. He has piercing brown eyes. His body toned but not too much. He sits with one leg over the other looking at us with a smile as if he had expected us. 

I know gor sure.. that is Johannes Key...
