(Amanda's POV)

I woke up in the middle of the night to a pounding on my door, and the sound of foot steps rushing through the halls. There wasn't smoke so I don't think anything was on fire. I got up sleepily. The pounding got louder the longer I took.

"I'm coming, please stop." I groaned as I got up to the door. I opened it and to my surprise, it was a very worried Damian. He was really jeatery and nervous looking. "Uhh... do you mind telling me what's goin-" He grabbed my shoulders, and made me face him directly. He smiled softly, like he did when I'd get something wrong and we'd laugh at it tell the maids thought we needed medical attention. He pulled me into a warm embrace, something that I missed so much.

"Oh my phræqul, I'm so glad your safe!" He announced.

"Safe from what?.." I asked, confusion obvious in my voice. He hesitated to tell me.

"We heard a crash in the dungeons, I went to see what happened and...." His words faded into nothing as he looked down. He spoke up, gently and slowly. "Thomas is gone..." For me his words echoed down the hallways. I was wide awake now and running toward the room were my children where. If he's out, I'm not letting him get to the only family I have left! My thoughts raced as I got to the room..

(Damian's POV)

I was running around making sure we had all hands on deck to find my brother, I was running to the armory to get my new sword they finished yesterday. I ran over the balcony, but slowed to a stop when I needed to catch my breath. I bent down and put my hands on my knees panting. I start running again, something in the back of my head told me I was being watched. I looking around but all I saw was the dimly lit garden I so loved to spend my time in. Then I could have sworn I saw something move between the bushes. Something... dark, no longer werewolf or Me'Fa. Neither raise but still quite alive.. it was creepy, not the kinda, oh my gosh creepy but the creepy that makes your senses go wind and your hair stand on end. I didn't want or dare to know what it might be. I ran as fast as I could toward the armory.

When I got there the first thing that I did was grab the gold and silver edged weapon and had it at the ready. Yes I know I'm a werewolf, but come on, when there's a threat like this, being a wolf can be used for defense and escapes only. I turn to see the creature standing at the door. Werewolf, yes. Normal one, NO. The creature standing there was half my size on all four paws. It's fur matted and tangled up in areas, with scars on its back the size of sticks kids would use for play sword fights out on the streets, like it had been trying to get out of somewhere for quite sometime, with rocks falling on his back.

"Hello brother" It growled. Not it... but.... Thomas. I'm not going to lie, his new voice sent shivers down my spine, and I was scared out of my mind. How did he grow that big?! I thought as I took my stance.

He lunged at me, I swung my sword in a sideways arch at his side. That's when everything went black.
