*************************
I sit silently staring at the wall. I avoid catching Axel's gaze, he takes he cue to leave silently. I hear him shift and run to the woods. That's what I need to do. Clear my mind. Think a bit. I'm over five thousand years old! An old woman should always have a turn.
I quickly shift, my bones cracking into place. My paws scratch on to the mud, preparing to run for it. I break free, running into the wild, I feel free, whilst my wolf howls in joy! Faster, Faster my wolf screams. I run faster and faster, not minding the fact I feel something shoot at me. Hopefully it's just a mosquito.
I see Axel ahead of me, in his big, Beta(pronounced Beeta. Not Better) wolf. Coe! I say to Axel. He stands there sniffing awkwardly. I then remember I haven't met the pack yet, so I'm not connected. I bring my paw across my body before laying it down again, just like Inder did when we first met. He did it and they shifted. I see how bigger Axel's wolf is compared to mine, even though I'm stronger. He's the same mahogany colour just like Desmond, which I say, is very weird indeed. It's funny how Inder is nineteen and Axel and Alex are both twenty-nine yet Inder is their great, great, great, great, grandfather from four generations ago. He was probably stick in time with the Moon Goddess.
Axel obeyed my orders and went to shift straight away. I also went to shift into my human. Funny how the clothes become a layer of skin. Scientifically cool.
He comes back and I come back. "How did you find me?" He asks. "Axel, I'm stronger than you as well as faster." He chuckles. "It's Alex, not Axel, Axel left you and came into the front room, whilst I went to shift." I blush bright red because always been able to identify twins. (In my class, we have ten sets of twins!)
"I know how you feel about that, unable to identify twins." He chuckles. " You can identify us because Axel's straight but I'm not. I'm gay. With a human. For now." He says still laughing. "You're gay for real?" I asks astonished. He's probably being sarcastic. "Yes, I am." He says more seriously."Please don't judge Luna." I hit him on the back. "Of course I won't." He suddenly picks me up. "Thanks. I've been longing to hear that." I smile.
"Are we going to walk back to the pack house?" I asked. He shook his head. "We can't, we're on the Eastern side while here is the Western side. Only our wolves can take us back." I begin to shift but I feel and awkward cramp. "Alex, I want to ride on your back! My wolf hurts to shift."
He nodded. He shifts quickly in front of me, back into the mahogany coloured Desmond type wolf. Who looks freakishly like Desmond. I get on to his back. My legs will never touch the floor. I always thought I was tall. I lean forward, my arms looping around his buff body, grabbing chunks of hair underneath. "Run, Alex, run!" I've never done this before but it's not too late to try. He breaks for it. I scream in joy as the wind covers my face, my hair going crazy.

Damon's POV <CathyReed again>
********************
"Enter." I say. Daniel and that fool Henry enter. It's been sixteen weeks since Desmond and Peridot left. I've killed exactly fifty wolves each day from different packs other than mine to feed on. I won't be string enough if not. I need that bitch to feed on or I will die. "What brings you here Daniel, Henry?" I say sneering Henry's name.
"Well, Damon, you should actually be asking my colleague, Henry Odes." Daniel says in a-matter-of-fact voice. Henry steps up, his large belly bouncing around. "Well, Damon, I've done something." He says in a gruff voice. I don't know how I realised that because I'm tone deaf. "Get.On.With.It." I reply. "I shot the White Wolf with a radar." He says politely. "You what?!" I exclaim. "I shot the White Wolf with a radar." He says politely. "Henry..." I say. "Yes Damon?" He asks. "You do know that I am your very best friend and I love you right?" I say. "Uhm, no?" He replies, "Well I am and I do for your information." I loop my arm around his neck.
"You get her for me and her brother and I'll get you things you dream of." Henry's belly jiggled again. "Yes sir!" I look at Daniel through slits. "The fool you are Daniel. You can't be clever enough to do what Henry did, idiot!" I snap. "But it was my-" I raise my hand up. "I don't want to hear it, retard!"

Peridot POV
**************************
We arrive home within two hours. It was already ten o clock. I have a rich lather in the bath and quickly run out into my bed to snuggle down for the night. BEEP, BEEP. I know what it is. A Damon Radar. They think they'll get me. No wonder I had a cramp. I pick it out from my hair and bite it. It breaks in half. I slip it underneath my pillow.
