The World Ended (The World Is Ending: Book Two)

Music Box

Why did I save him?
...That was a good question. I just felt like I needed to... If I was in that position, I would've also liked to be saved.

...I then realized...
This had to be another missing person from Team Wolf. I mean, I knew who he was... It was NateWantsToBattle, of course. ...He was a wolf that was unawoken. He had to go to Paradise.

"Alright, fair enough... Some wolves have wings, and that is that. Stop living in the beautiful lie that says magic isn't real, because, oh boy, you are so wrong. I can talk because all creatures can talk. We just wait to see if you're worth talking to... And lastly, I saved you because I have a mission. This is the end of the world, Nate." I explained without hesitation.

"Okay, and how do you know m-?"

"No more questions." I looked at the distance. "Now, tell me, who were you running from and what did he look like?" I asked, searching for answers.

"Umm, well..." Nate had explained to me what he had looked like, and it all became clear. I was once again, faced with my greatest enemy...
Danny was back.

'No wonder why he didn't see us when we hid behind the tree.' I giggled to myself. Nate looked at me as if I was crazy, which, was normal. A lot of people thought I was crazy...

...But, I'm not.
I just choose to live in the painful truth, rather than the beautiful lie.
Plus, the sanest people are the craziest.

"What's so funny?" Nate questioned as I immediately stopped giggling. I motioned with my hands that it was nothing, and I nervously hid my face beneath my right wing.

"I-It's n-nothing, r-really." I stuttered.
I then realized why I was supposed to be out in the forest... To collect hay...
I had failed my mission.

"Why are you so shy?" Nate asked. He seemed happy, for that single moment. My eyes darted around me. I had left the others alone for too long... What if...?

I had a flashback of Team Wolf.
Meghan and I had gasped at what we had seen... Blood...
Knives...

Danny...

"We've got to go... Come on!" I began to lead, but Nate only stood up. He didn't move...

"We've?" He asked, but I shrugged it off. I knew we couldn't waste any time...

"Come on!" I shouted, and he finally followed. I took off at full speed, which, suprisingly, Nate was able to keep up....
Barely.

When we arrived, I gasped at what I had seen... Again.
It was happening all over again..

We had led Danny straight to the base... What was I thinking!?

T-That same devilish smile appeared on Danny's face as he stood in front of the group with his knife. The knife had fresh blood on it... Danny put the knife up to his mouth and he licked it...

Sadistic.
That's all he was...
But it wasn't his fault.
It was my own fault.
I couldn't save him.
Now he's like this.
They suffer because of me.

He smiled...
He then narrowed his eyes to me.
"How's it going, Wolfie?" He evily laughed.

"You will never have Paradise!" I cried out, and was going to charge at him. I was now in my human disguise form.
When I was about to charge at him, a pair of arms grasped mine, preventing me from moving.

Tears flooded my face.
Needless to say, I was angry.
He hurt them!

I could forgive him for everythimg...
Except for that.
I couldn't forgive him for hurting my friends.

Nate held me back as I tried so hard to get out of his grasp. Adrenaline filled my veins, which wasn't good. Adrenaline wasn't good in the heat of battle.

"You can't fight him." Nate calmly said to me... I looked at Danny and then back at Nate...

"Is that a challenge-?" I asked, but then my heartbeat stopped. My heart had shattered once more...

Nate looked at me and smiled...
His chest had been stabbed with a knife from behind. I felt his grasp get lighter, and then all of a sudden, he dropped to the ground.

He was stabbed right in the heart...
I looked up to see who did it...
Right in front of me was none other than Brooke.

I gasped.
There was no one holding me back now!

I summoned my katana, and I stabbed Brooke. She disappeared, but I knew that, that wasn't the last time I would be seeing her...

I then went for Danny...
I leaped up and clawed his face. I jumped off from my position, back to the ground.

Danny made multiple knives appear and he made the knives fly right toward me.

Little did he know, I was too quick for his actions. I jumped in the air and flapped my wings. I hovered into the air until all of the knives passed me...

I then dived down with my wing speeds, and tackled Danny. He then disappeared into thin air...

I sighed as I returned to my human disguise form. I ran over to all of the others and began to get straight to work.

I always remembered Meghan doing all of the healing back when the original Team Wolf was still going... Nobody knew that I was also a healer. I was actually a very trained and experienced healer, at that.

I gathered everything I needed from beneath the snow, and I even used the snow to clean out the wounds of everyone...

The knife in Nate had disappeared, along with the rest of the weapons. I was thankful the the wounds weren't that fatal, but if I was gone any longer, they could've been...

I had to be more careful.
While the others were still blacked out, I got the rest of the supplies. I saw that Joan and Tayln collected a good amount of sticks, and I just needed to light it.

After the fire was lit, the hay was found, and everything else was set up, Thomas and the others awoke.
