Chapter 20 "Milo"

Milo's Pov
I'm stuck. I can't do anything but watch. I watch as I hurt people. I watch a so yell at them and watch as I track Serena down. I watch a so try to harm her.
I don't want to do this. I want to be me again. Something is holding me down. Something dark. It looks like a cloud. I try to shoo it away but it always returns. I hear whispers behind me. All I can do is be held in place by the dark cloud that try's to take over.
Last week I hurt a princess. I can't even apologize to her. I can't do anything but try to move. It hurts when I do move but I only am able to move my hands, sometimes if I'm lucky, my toe.
I'm trapped in my own body. I need help. But no one knows. Everyone, along with Serena, probably hates me. I don't blame them though. I deserve it. I deserve everything that comes my way. Even death would be better than this. What am I supposed to do?
'Stay strong. I'm coming' I hear a faint voice. She sounds young.
'Please help me' I whisper back.
I get a pain in my head and then the darkness around me turns into what the darkness is doing while it controls me.
I see Serena crouched down lapping water from the stream with her tongue.
We approach her. As we get closer, I noticed we were in an attacking position.
I shake my head and start struggling. I can't kill her. She's my best friend. In fact, my only friend. I can't hurt her.
'Watch out Serena. Please watch out. Look up. Please. I'm begging you' I whisper over and over again. As we are a few yards away I try to yell. Usually it doesn't work but this time I could move my jaw.
"Serena.... Watch out" I squeak. My throat hurts. It's burning and it's scratchy. I try again as we still get closer.
I keep squeaking. My throat hurts worse each time. My voice gets a little louder each time. But they all still come out weak.
As I notice we are a few feet away I get nervous. I sit up and am surprised. I can't stand as the darkness continues to hold down my feet.
"Serena, watch out" I say. Still not audible. Now we're a few steps away.
Darkness is about to claw at her but I scream.
"Serena!! Look out!!!" I scream. This snaps her out of her trance from the water as she turns and looks at my claws. As darkness swings at her she jumps up over its paw. I smile and try to stand. As I do this I feel as though my strength is coming back. I stand up and darkness cowers away. Then I start to walk. I come to the biggest picture of what's happening and then I fall down. Darkness grabs my leg and drags me away. I'm so close to getting up when it pins me down. Soon I hear a scream. I start to cry because I think it's Serena.
My wolf body goes limp and stays immobile as we continue the war in my head.
"Milo, please look at me."I hear Serena say. "I miss you. Please come back" I hear her say.
All of a sudden I feel my body begin to hurt. The pain becomes intense and I begin to see darkness. The pain around my body subsides and I narrow down the pain to my head. Why does my head hurt?

Serena's Pov
"Serena!! Look out!!!" I hear Milo call out to me. I turn around and see him with his claw. I dodge his attack as I jump up in the air. I land on my paws and I land facing his back. He isn't moving and I begin to get worried. I know I should be running but I can't just leave my friend. Even though he tried to kill me, I know this isn't him. At least, that's what I want to believe. I want to wake up from this nightmare every single day. I hope and pray that this hair goes away. But it doesn't. I slowly walk around and look into Milo's eyes.
I see a grey cloud hovering around in his eyes. His ounce blue eyes were now grey clouded over making them look more dull. He looks as though he's staring at something. I try to look but I can't see anything. I look back at him and try to get his attention.
"Milo, please look at me. I miss you. Please come back." I say.
His eyes begin to shut and he falls down. I try to catch his head with my paw but I miss. His head hits a rock as his body falls limp on the ground.
A so look at Milo I see a figure move in the distance. It begins running towards me. Then I make out two figure. As they come closer, I notice the princess and the prince bounding towards me. I smile at them and them remember Milo. My smile disappears and I lay down with him. I rest my head on his shoulder blades as he lays on his side. I'm laying on my stomach. I growl as they come to close to Milo. They don't back up at my warning growl so I stand up and begin to stand over him in a protective manner. They seem to notice this as they step back.
