Maddy's P.O.V
'He must be the first person I see when I return.'

I run through the woods, tonight is a full moon, my first as a lone wolf but not Rhydian's, he's been alone for quite sometime until we both met and our lives changed dramatically. We promised that we'd find each other one day, that day might be upon us now.
The sun is setting, the clouds are spreading across the sky, the moon will be rising soon. What's that smell? I can sense other Wolfbloods, are my parents with them? At least I can draw comfort in knowing that I am not alone, except can I trust them?

A large pack has a camp set up at the bottom of the hill, I remember that my parents and I planned on joining the wild pack upon our departure, except my father contacted Segolia and they offered us a life in Canada, we didn't make it and I lost my parents.
If I'm going to live with a wild pack then I'll have to become wild.

A perfect way to begin would be to use Eolas: a wild Wolfblood ability enabling you to connect with nature and have your sense of sight enhanced. As I use Eolas my eyes turn yellow and I can see the pack: a bunch of wild, aggressive and seemingly cunning creatures. This will have to suffice for me, only for a while and I'll continue my journey home, everything will be....

"What are you doing on our territory?!"
A growling mongrel, if only calls out from behind.

I turn to see four wild Wolfbloods approaching me, fear tears into me but after what I've been through, what I have faced this is nothing.

"Tame wolves are too weak to walk among us!"

"We don't allow them, we crush them!"

A challenge is fast approaching, I may be alone but I won't let them terrorise me. As I back away I feel my back bump against a hand, looks like I'm their prisoner.

"Maddy?" a voice that I recognise speaks from behind.

The voice belongs to my old friend I realise when I turn round:

"Jana?" I say with relief.

Rhydian's P.O.V
'I have to see her again.' I think to myself.

The past month has been great torment for me; Maddy left, Dr Whitewood has been scouring Stoneybridge and exploring far beyond for her and her parents; she hasn't checked for DNA in the Smiths house yet, Tom and Shannon have cleaned the house, no traces of DNA have been left behind.
Why has she not returned?

This afternoon after school I stopped by the Smiths house and looked at the pictures of Maddy and me along with Tom, Shannon and Jana; when we were all a pack.

Suddenly a howl is coming from the distance; could it be Maddy?
If there's even the slightest chance of me seeing her again I have to take this chance now.

"I'll find you Maddy." I say to myself.

I'm standing outside of the house, the howling continues and I follow the sound to the woods, growing louder and louder as I get closer and closer until I reach the spot where it was coming from: there is no one, was it all a trick? Is Dr Whitewood here right now?

As I use my sense of smell I realise that it is a Wolfblood, but where?

A loud thud goes off from behind me, I turn to face a wild Wolfblood: hair black like my mother Ceri's , but younger than she is and dressed in scruffy ragged clothing.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?

She raises her head to face me: her eyes glow yellow like a Wolfblood.

"Hello, Rhydian." How does she know my name?

Though I am shocked that she knows who I am I walk towards her with rage building up inside of me.
