"No!" I woke with a jolt. The same memory I have every night. The blood. My possessed brother.

Sighing I got down from the tree to go find Luke. It has been 6 months since I gained full control of my body, and no one besides the empire knew about it.

6 months ago I decided to take position as the last living son to the lingston (I don't remember if they said Armen had a last name or what it was. If they mentioned it please correct me) family as a royal guard for the king.

Getting dressed in normal clothes I decided to take a ride to a nearby town. "Armen!" I heard someone yelling after me as I led my horse to the gate.

Turning around I saw Luke. "What's up?" I asked.

"I know you're going somewhere and that always means adventure. Can I come please?"

"Fine but I'm just going to the next town over."

Luke cheered and ran to grab his horse.

~~~~~Time Skip~~~~~

Luke and I had just finished going through the town and were about to leave. I got on my horse and made it out the gate but just my luck, Grayson was heading in and we locked eyes.

I went as fast as my horse could go trying to avoid Grayson at all cost. I don't need questions arising that I'll have to answer.

Knowing Grayson wouldn't give in I yelled to Luke "go ahead, I'll meet you back at home base." Before turning to head to my old house.

By the time I reached there I had lost Grayson but I wasn't risking it. I shape shifted into a white and grey ocelot running into the nearest cave.

It wasn't long before I heard Grayson talking to someone.

~Grayson's POV~

Drake, Mia, and I were all heading to a nearby town when I locked eyes that couldn't be mistaken as any one else's. It was Armen.

I quickly turned around trying to keep up as Mia and Drake yelled after me. After awhile we ended up near the house that Drake and Armen used to live in. The only other hiding spot besides the house was the cave.

"What are you doing Grayson?" Drake asked finally caching up to me. I started walking towards the cave. "I saw Armen. I know I did."

"Grayson, Armen's dead. I felt his life force slip." Drake responded.

~Armen's POV~

They're getting closer. Grayson spotted me and must know it was me, he started walking my way. He stopped one foot away from me and crouched down. Seeing no way out besides being chased, I slowly walked over to him.

When I was within grabbing length he grabbed the back of my neck picking me up. No escaping now. "Grayson that's a cat." Mia said.

I mind linked Luke saying won't be able to come back. I'll see if I can get the egg while I'm at it.

"It's official, Grayson has lost it."

I squirmed around in Grayson's grip trying to get away, but give up in defeat. He pulled me closer to him. Good thing my horse ran and they didn't see me with Luke. 

Grayson put me on the ground and as he was about to stand up, I made a run for the house. I shifted back and ran to my brothers old room, quickly grabbing the sword behind the book case and flying upstairs.

"Grayson, stop!" They were getting closer. I walked to the top of the stairs and stood there. Grayson ran in and froze soon followed by Drake and Mia.

"Grayson! Arm-" Drake spotted me. He wasn't standing around and ran up to me. "Armen." He mumbled hugging me.

I stood frozen I wasn't expecting this. He let go and all three just stared at me. I knew it was time for all of them to know, so I shifted into my cat form and ran to the basement door.

I started rubbing against it before Mia finally came over and opened the door. I ran down the stairs waiting in the middle of the talisman for everyone else to come.

I dug at the whole to the passage after everyone came. I ran to where the three sacred's used to be. And looked up. Drake and Grayson ran down and stared. All three were back. I ran over to Grayson and had him pick me up.

"Drake, is this what I think this is?" Grayson asked slowly.

Drake nodded. Grayson held me tight before walking off Drake right behind him. Once we were close I ran for the door before shifting back. "Shît!" I yelled. The wound on my leg reopened and I fell to the ground. I heard running foot steps.

"Armen what happened!" Drake yelled running towards me.

"It's nothing" I hissed holding my leg to try and subside the bleeding.

Drake gasped before walking away. He came back a little later with a healing potion. I quickly drank it down. It didn't help the wound but did help the bleeding.

"How'd you get that wound Armen?" Drake asked, "and don't say it was nothing. It had to of been something."

I took a deep breath, "promise you won't freak out?" Once Drake nodded I continued "after I gained control of my body again I took my dad's position as a royal guard... for the the empire. I got it on a recent mission."

I waited for him to freak out. Do something, but all he did was stare. "So you're with the empire." He confirmed with himself.
