"Good morning, Ali. Glad to have you back. Training is no fun without you to make fun of," Quo greeted me with his arm around my shoulders as we walked. I laughed at him and nodded my head.

"You should just make fun of Lucas. It's much funnier," I said as I looked to my side where Lucas was walking next to me. He playfully punched me in the side as he tried to stop himself from smiling.

I had felt much better. The fact that I spoke about my father the day before made me feel a lot better. I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders.

Then, when Lila, Brayleigh and Cass came along after lunch, they sat with me and they talked about it. They were all understanding, even though Cass and Brayleigh hadn't lost any parents. They let me tell them what was on my mind and I felt ten times better instantly.

"So, today I want to take the group out for a bit of a run. Get you all running around, see if you can all kill a deer or some rabbit," Quo said as we reached the group. I nodded my head as he slipped his arm off my shoulders and walked over to where Alfie was standing.

I assumed he was going to be joining us today. I was excited. I had missed Alfie and Quo, I had missed all of them.

Sure, I was still upset about my father, but I knew the only thing he would have wanted was for me to be happy and to move on. I had a giant group of friends who were supporting me and I couldn't have asked for more.

But since we concluded that there were traitors inside Terialta, Liam and I figured that I needed to speak to my brothers about it. I was going to do it this morning, after training, but then I figured that I wanted Liam to be there with me. I wanted him and I to call them together.

"Good morning kids... Quo it looks like you're one short," Alfie greeted my group as he approached us. I looked around, and noticed immediately that Veronica wasn't around.

"She informed me this morning that's she was busy helping her Dad or something like that," Quo told him. Alfie nodded and then cleared his throat as he looked at me.

"Good to have you back, kiddo," Alfie told me. I smiled and nodded my head at him as Lila nudged my arm. I smiled down at her.

"Alright everyone, get to sniffing. You all can't kill anything while you're all skin and bone," Quo demanded from us. Everyone nodded and started to strip down their clothes.

Lila grabbed my hand and motioned for me to follow her. Neither of us liked getting undressed in front of everyone. I especially hated it because Anthony was in my group. He was always watching.

I had barely seen him since I returned, but he was healed from his broken hand. I hadn't gotten in trouble for it, so I assumed that Henry let me off.

Lila and I shifted behind the bushes and then came out to join the group again. I walked up to Lucas and playfully nipped at his back feet. He growled lowly at me to tell me not to do it again. I cackled at him and nudged him with my head.

My beast stretched herself out. She'd been cooped up for so long. It felt good to finally let her out.

"Let's go. Head East," Quo said through the group link we had. Everyone turned and followed Quo out into the forest.

We all ran fast and hard through the trees. It was relieving to finally get a good run. It wasn't often that my beast was actually allowed to come out and play. Shaking out her fur was like stretching after not moving for so long.
