The last thing I had remembered was being shot in the chest and watching Novae abandon me in the woods to chase Nate. Then everything went black and I was all alone. I continued to repeat to myself that I was dead, but then a woman appeared before me. She was tall and had long curly black hair. I couldn't see her eyes, but she had a haunting red lipped smile that was so beautiful I knew I would never forget. She had tattoos covering her arms, but the longer I stared at her the more they faded, like how temporary tattoos did when a child wore them for too long. She was slender and had a flowing black lace dress that draped her body so loosely. She was so stunning. We were in a house now, but everything was empty and outside the windows were nothing but darkness. Then the lights went out and all I could see were red eyes. We continued to stare at each other until the eyes started growing larger and the lights slowly came back on. We were in a nursery, with tons of babies surrounding me. I started realizing that this was a memory of mine and above me stood the woman from before. She softly began singing as she ran her fingers across my cheek. I closed my eyes as she placed her hands around me and lifted me out of the crib. She continued to sing softly until she pressed her head against mine.
"I will always keep you safe, you'll be important one day. I promise."
The she pressed her lips against my forehead and carefully placed me back down. I looked up at her as her red eyes faded and became a deep, dark grey. She slowly disappeared as the room grew brighter and brighter. I could feel my body heating up as my vision turned from a yellow to a red, my ears and tail growing just a bit larger in size and my senses sharpening even more from before. I sat up and looked down at my body. A bright and radiant light was illuminating from me. Nate and another man screamed out in pain from the light and Novae was looking around in confusion. Off to the side a portal opened and Miracle fell back from being blinded. I grabbed Novae's hand and pushed him through the opening back to Spirit Realm. Nate screamed out and started firing at Novae. I threw my head back and howled until the light around me disappeared. I stood up and faced Nate with my head held high. I could feel a new confidence surging through my body, a new force of power. Nate and his partner stared at me in disbelief. I started growling as I walked closer to him, my incisors growing longer, my voice going deeper, my hatred getting stronger. The closer I got, the more I could smell his fear.
