Toby:

We head back to the mansion quickly after that, not wanting to be jumped again. I burst through the front door, panting. Wolf is right behind me, not as tired, but just as worried.

I ask slowly, "Who......was.......that?"

She looks down, not saying a word.

"Let's sit down." I suggest.

We plop down on the couch, her black wolf curling up beside her. "Okay. Now tell me."

"I still don't know if it was her..........but I recognized the voice......" Her face looks guarded.

"Who?"

"Drayke." She responds simply.

"Okay. Who's Drayke?" I ask, intrigued.

"shewasmytwinsister." she mutters.

"Your what?!"

She takes a deep breath.

"Well. When I was younger, I had a twin sister. We looked almost exactly alike except for our hair color. Hers was blonde and mine, obviously, is not. Anyway, we were not only sisters but best friends as well. Inseparable.

We were polar opposites, but got along amazingly. We never cared much for rules, though. We got into a ton of trouble as kids." She sighs, slouching and looking lost in memories.

"Then what happened?" I press.

"She disappeared one day. Just.....left. Gone. We thought she was dead. I was torn apart. I became more distant, my large group of friends shrinking until they were almost nonexistent. Now she's back."

Her face takes on a dark look. "She has a lot to answer for."

I freeze. Blonde hair, troublemaker, looked like Wolf.........

I shoot up from my seat. "I'll be right back!" I call over my shoulder as I run into the hall.

Wolf's POV:

I stare after him, wondering what the heck he's doing. I guess he just left me here to wallow in self pity. Screw that, then. I'll play some video games.

I put in Last of Us, grabbing a candy apple Faygo from the fridge and sitting down on the couch. 'Rowan, go listen in on Toby, could you? I'm curious.'

He snorts. 'You snoop.'

'Maybe I am.' I chuckle. He rolls his eyes and gets up, walking off to stalk my friend.

I sit back and shoot Clickers until Rowan starts speaking again. 'He's with Jeff. They know Drayke somehow.......'

I stand up, pausing the game.

How the heck do they know Drayke?

I walk down the hall until I reach Jeff's room, hearing arguing behind the closed door. Hm.

"We can't very well just tell her!" Jeff snaps.

"Well, what are we supposed to do, then? I'm quite sure she'll want to hunt her down no matter what we tell her, what's another detail in the equation going to do?" Toby retorts.

'What are you going to do?' Rowan asks, bored.

I decide to walk in at that moment. The two boys pause, turning to look at me. "Tell me what?" I ask.

"We were just-"

That's when Jane appears in the hallway, leaning against the wall, knife gleaming in the shadows. "Sorry to interrupt, but Ben seems to have gotten himself into trouble."

I feel my eyes narrow. "What did he do?"

She scoffs. "Police caught him attacking someone. Don't know why he didn't just kill them through the game like he normally does."

"Where is he now?" Toby questions.

"Running through the woods as we speak. He said something about someone helping him." She looks up.

"So you coming or not?"

I feel Rowan snarl again. 'I never liked him.'

He needs help. I'll go.

"Yeah. Show me where he is." I tell her.

She nods. "Let's do this."

I follow her out of the house, Jeff and Toby close behind. Jane doesn't seem to like the fact that Jeff's coming with us. He pretends not to notice.

I spot Ben dash past us at one point and I rush in pursuit, keeping an ear open for the cops. 'She's here.' Rowan warns with a growl, brushing against my leg protectively. Luna is oddly quiet, letting him dominate my head.

I hiss in acknowledgment. Ben stops, and I see the deadly glint in his eyes. "Glad you could join us." He laughs softly.

I turn to see that we're surrounded. I unsheathe my claws and stare the cops down. Jeff, Jane, and Toby join us. We're badly outnumbered. But they are clearly outmatched.

A warning shot is fired, the noise activating the battle. We spring into action all at once as if we had been fighting together our whole lives. At one point, Luna appears beside me in Rowan's place and my mind fills with a dark haze, seeing nothing but targets to be killed off.

I slash at faces and necks, shoving them out of the way so I can move on to my next victims. How many cops are there?!

In my brief moment of distraction, I feel cold metal make contact with the side of my head. I reel back as they ready themselves for another strike. I sweep their legs out from under them with a wolflike growl. 'Focus!' Rowan snaps.

My head still spinning, I finish off my attacker and look around, trying to shake the anger out of my mind. Rowan won't let me, stubbornly holding his place.

All of the cops are dead.

Jane shoves Ben roughly. "Next time, try getting away before the fuzz show, would you? One of us could've been killed in that fight because of your stubbornness!"

His eyes narrow. He doesn't say a word. He turns and head into the dark woods, muttering curse words. Jeff slowly walks over and ruffles my hair. "Not bad, kid. A bit stiff though, loosen up. And focus. Don't let your opponent get the better of you."

I would tell him that I don't have a lot of control over how 'stiffly' I fight, but decide against it. He wouldn't get it.

"Alright."

"Oh, you're hurt." His gaze grows concerned.

I put a hand to my forehead and it comes away streaked with red. "One of them hit me with his gun." I tell him.

He nods. "You should go patch that up. And then ask Toby when he's going to stop lounging around."

I nod. "I'll go do that."

As we make our way back to the mansion, I can't shake the feeling that we're being watched.

I don't see the menacing smile showing through the shadows.

I don't hear the soft chuckle that follows.

I don't realize until too late that I've been followed and lead them right to the house.

I also don't realize that Luna is nowhere to be found.
