Still Laurance's POV

It has been calm since the wolf attack. Aphmau was still fainted. I was really worried for her. This was all my fault. I should have warned her before jumping.

We were out of the forest the rest was just a few hills. Since we haven't since the wereolves since, I was afraid this could be their chance. It was all clear and open. We were very easy to spot.

We got tired so we stopped for a few minutes. We were all starving too. Then we saw a pig come up to us. I was about to kill it, but Vylad shot it before I could.

I set up a small fire and cooked it the best I could with what I had.

I served everyone a piece and we all ate it.

Lucinda: So what's the plan once we get to the settlement?

Laurance: Aphmau knew. So we'll just have to wait. I 'm getting very worried. She hasn't woken up.

Lucinda: She'll be fine. I know you worry about her, don't. A rock isn't gonna stop her.

She chuckled.

Laurance: Yeah. I guess after everything she's been, a rock couldn't stop her.

Me, Lucinda, and her guard laughed. Vylad was looking out at the fields. I don't think he heard us.

Vylad: We need to move.

Thank Irene he didn't.

Laurance: What?

Vylad: The werewolves. I feel them coming miles away they tracked our scent. Somebody must've left something.

The leftover part from the shirt I cut. Damn it!

We grabbed as much as we could and got on the horses.

The werewolves got out of the forest. They were really fast. They caught up to us in seconds.

One of them caught up to Vylad. They tackled him and his horse.

"Oh no." I stopped my horse. And got off. I fought them off as best as I could. Lucinda and her guard did the same.

Vylad was protecting Aphmau. I could tell he needed help. Lucinda threw a spell at the wolf in front of me, killing it.

I ran over to Vylad and helped him. Their paws were strong. Their claws got closer and closer to our faces everytime.

"AAHHHH!" Vylas screamed. He turned into a Shadow Knight. But it was weird. He wasn't doing as good as I was doing when I was prisoner. And he's been Shadow Knight way longer then I have.

"Laurance you have to turn!" He said

"I can't! I don't control it yet."

"Doesn't matter. We'll all die. I need your help!"

"Vylad I can't just-"

"Yes you can! Come on Laurance do it! Do it for Aphmau!"

He couldn't hold them off anymore. He was a wolf was about to kill him.

"AAAAH!" I turned.

I went over and killed that werewolf. This was satisfying. All the power. Everything I can do.

Vylad stood up. He saw the others needing help and went over to them. And I had about 10 werewolve's all to myself.

I slaughtered them all. One by one. I killed them. I've  never felt so good before.

Then I noticed Fenrir looking at me. That stupid wolf who TRIED TO TAKE APHMAU FROM ME!

He laughed.

He turned into one. But he was brandishing a sword as white as pearls.

"This sword was my fathers. He had it for 24 years. And now it's mine. I remember  me a little kid. I watched him. Day after day. Cleaning the sword." He held the sword up.

"I've been wanting to see it in action for so long. AND NOW! IT'S TIME."

"I'LL KILL YOU!" I screamed.

We charged at eachother. That was a strong sword.

I've never battled like this. With this much satisfaction. And I've never wanted to kill someone so bad. He tried to cut me to which I quickly ducked. I charged at him and he pushed me back.

I got so distracted in my desire to kill, that he striked me. Made cut through my face. He kicked me again and I fell.

My sword slipped from my hand. When I fell. I was powerless. 

"You're weak." He said. He kicked me in my stomach. "You know what? I do remember why father killing someone with the sword. A young girl with black hair. Was caught stealing. This wasn't accepted. She couldn't steal and leave. I remember my father cutting her. And her blood spilling on the floor. The girl looked just like Aphmau."

I looked at Aphmau. She was behind him. I remember all the good times we had. And everything that happened. When she kissed me. I'll never forget that moment with her. And I won't let it go.

He grabbed the sword and was about to stab me. I grabbed the sword.

"I remember a boy standing next to me. At the wedding. He looked just like you. I killed him. I remember killing him when I turned. He looked just like you." I grabbed the sword off of his hands and broke it. I grabbed my sword and striked him. He tried to block. He failed everytime.

I knocked him on the ground. He turned into his human form. He was covered in cuts.

"P-please. I'm so sorry!" He said. I wasn't gonna fall for it.

I was about to kill him just like he was gonna kill me. I raised my sword. Gave him one last look. And I lowered the sword.

"LAURANCE!" I heard.

It was Aphmau.

Aphmau's POV

"LAURANCE!" I yelled.

I had just woken up. He was about to kill Fenrir.

"Aphmau!" He said. I saw all the dead werewolves around him.

He threw his sword to the ground and ran up to me. He was turning human as he ran.

He hugged me and I hugged him back.

"Aphmau! You're okay! Thank Irene you're okay." He

I was so confused. Everyone had lots of explaining to do.
