             All I see is fuzzy blackness. Is this death? Am I dead? If I am I have a complaint to make. I will not stand with this fuzziness for all of eternity! "I think he's coming around" I hear something, I think it's voice. I blink my eyes open. Oh, I guess I'm not dead after all. I feel something rubbing at my shoulder. I wince in pain at the touch. I look around, and I see chaos.

I see Johnathan being beaten by three guards, Blue and his father were having a heated argument, and Rayn and her friend Kim kept poking at my stomach and cheeks for a reason I know not. I couldn't help but groan at the horrid poking; It hurt like death itself wanted to die,so I mumble pathetically "No... stop...hurts..." By some miracle the torture stops. " Wolf? Oh thank goodness you woke up-" Rayn cried. "- I thought you were going to die! I don't want to lose you...I was worried..." Rayn starts to sob. I feel very guilty.

"I'm sorry Rayn...don't want to make you sad... sorry" I murmur to her. She looks up at with a half sad half amused expression on her face. Burying her face into my chest she mutters " It's not your fault Wolf; It's Jonathan's, so he's being executed tomorrow." So that guy who made me pass out is going to die? Serves him right, I guess.

Kim then awkwardly speaks up, " I have to go to my cottage to get something. It may help big man here. I am positive it will help him. I can tell he is still in horrible pain. So I guess I'll leave now and go get it. Goodbye! See you all n about an hour..." With that she runs to the village.

Though I wish it weren't true, the girl named Kim was right, I was in insufferable pain. Silver had long lasting effects on me. I wish I had some gold... it would feel cool on my wounds, make the pain from the silver go almost completely away, and help me heal faster. I wish I would die already, but I also don't want to hurt Rayn's mental state.

Mine and Rayn's attention was suddenly brought to the guards beating Johnathan to a bloody pulp. Jonathan was roughly pulled to his feet and shoved towards the castle. Is it okay to pity someone who tried to kill you? I feel pity for the man right now. Johnathan got pushed and shoved to what Rayn tells me is the dungeon.

I look around for Blue, he is sitting with his head in his hands. His father is now nowhere in sight. " I'm sorry Blue..." I whimper over to the prince. He just waved me off saying, " It's not your fault big guy, so don't worry about it" I nod my head ok. Blue gives me a reassuring smile then trots off to the castle.

I am left alone with Rayn and I bask in her presence and scent. It's very comforting to be around her. Comforting and calming. I give a small hum of contentment as she leans against my stomach and starts to rub it. I soon start to get drowsy. I was still super tired and It didn't take very much until I fell asleep. I felt happy being lulled into the darkness of slumber.

I don't know how long it had been, but I was woken up the same way as before;with the horrid poking of my cheek and stomach,and I couldn't help but mutter again,"No...stop...hurts..." This was met with a small chuckle as the proding stopped. " Come on big guy, open your eyes. Kim think she has a way to make you suffer a little bit less." I hear Blue's voice say. I reluctantly blink open my eyes and see Rayn, Blue, and Kim. Kim is quickly twirling something in her hands, but my tired mind can't figure out what it is.

"OK wolfboy, I got the thing from my cottage. It use to be my grandmother's, but it's mine now. Since we got the silver bullets out of your skin it should help you. I am mainly basing this off an old myth so tell me if it hurts you. So, um, let's do this!" Kim quickly rambled. I see Rayn roll her eyes at Kim while Blue looks dumbfounded at her. Kim then walks over to my cheek and presses the thing she was holding to my wound. I feel my whole body relax as a cooling sensation takes over. I hum happily. It feels good.

Kim starts rambling again saying, " It's my grandmother's old necklace. It is is pure gold! And by your reaction wolfboy it's helping you. That means the myth is true!" I gently nod my head as Kim moves over to my neck and presses the necklace to the wound that was there. She walks over to my shoulder and does the same. I'm glad Kim had a piece of gold, for the insufferable pain was now almost non-existent. I am glad I had three great friends.
