[Chapter 45]

(Quick character change!!! Layla is NOW played by Vanessa Morgan okayyy back to the story!)

*colbys pov*

It has been a few hours and it was already dark out. Layla's been resting but.. her rash is spreading. It's reached all the way up to her chest and the color is changing to a dark blue instead of green. I'm getting really
worried.
I began pacing back and fourth as the time went by, battling with my own thoughts. "Colby you need to eat something" Sam says in a worried tone.
I shake my head no "not until I know Layla is gonna be okay" "but what good does it do you or her if you starve?" I stopped pacing and looked at him. He was handing out a bag of chips. I sighed and took it from him
"thanks"
"Where did everyone go again?" I ask as I look around to see no one around. "Well while you were lost in your own mind the guys went to go explore some more." He responded.
Almost on cue we heard screaming right before everyone came running back to camp.
"What's happening!?" I ask.
"We're being chased! Grab Layla and we need to get out of here!" He yelled as he and everyone started stuffing things in bags.
I rushed to the tent to see Layla still fast asleep. Everything went quiet outside. I carefully picked her up and rested her head on my shoulder, running back out of the tent.
Everyone stood still and stared at the glowing eyes hidden in the bushes.
I put my hand on Layla's head, "Come out whoever you are!" I yelled.
There was rustling before a small group of people walked out. All girls. But they weren't people.. they were hybrids like Layla and Liza. Human body but wolf ears, a tail, though they didn't have wings.
They were wearing some sort of tribal back leather pants and a black top. Their hair was braided into multiple strands and pulled into a half up half down. But one thing stood out to me, the glowing moon crescent drawn on their foreheads.
"Who are y'all" I say as calm as I could,
I wasn't looking to start a fight.
"It no matter who we are. All that matters is who you are carrying" the leader
I glare at her "what do y'all want with Layla"
"She is a threat to this world. Her and her curly haired friend" she turns to Liza "now hand them over and we'll be on our way"
I shake my head "your not taking her. Or Liza" I state.
They she sighed "your really not gonna give them to us?" I shake me head no. "Very well" I followed her gaze up toThe tree's where more of her people were hiding. They revealed large tubes and began shooting from them. Hitting each of my friends they all fall to the ground. I turn back to face the leader, who appeared right in front of me. She stabbed my leg with a small needle and I felt my body go limp and a sudden tiredness took control of my mind. Oh no.
Darkness..

I awoke sitting in a large cage surrounded by my friends. I groan and sit up "fu*k" I mutter. "You good dude?" Sam asked as he helped me up.
I shrugged "I guess.. where are we?" I ask looking around. "Their camp" he responded. I groan and slam my hand on the wooden bars. "Wait.. wheres Layla and Liza!?" I ask looking around. They were missing.
"They took them" Corey says. I slam my body against the cage, attempting to break the bars. "Don't bother. Their made by some sort of clay and are near to impossible to break. Plus we can't morph and bite them" Jake says.
I roll my eyes and slam my body against the bars again.
"Colby stop" Sam says. I do it again and again. He grabs my arm and pulls me away from it "Colby!" He yelled "stop, your only hurting yourself"
I sighed and slid down the bars "sorry" I whisper "I'm just worried about her"
"Why" someone says.
I look around to see the same girl who had put me out was standing behind me. I quickly stand up and look her in the eye "where is Layla" I said sternly.
"Oh don't worry she's fine.. sorta. What I want to know is why your so hell bent on protecting a Nightwing" she asks.
"She's my girlfriend. And shes different than other Nightwings" "how so" "she's kind, sweet, funny, and the complete opposite of what Nightwings are described as. Same with Liza" she hummed "isadora will be the judge of that" she says.
"Who are you people?!" I yell just before she could leave. She stopped in her tracks and turned around "we are the moon wolves. Brought to this world by NYX the goddess of the night. I am Kiami, leader of our pack. And who might y'all be"
"We are just ordinary wolves. Literally here on a camping trip" I shrug my shoulders "well we were! Until you kidnapped us!"
She laughed "kidnapped y'all? No we're protecting y'all from the Nightwings" "again she is not a bad person!" "Maybe not now but we have seen what their kind have done to us. Do you know how many of them have killed our kind? For the sole purpose of fun? How many woman and children dead because of their horrid ways?"
I sighed "Look I'm sorry about that. But Layla and Liza aren't like that.. they grew up in a sivilized way.. away from that. Please just let us show you..."
She thought for a moment..
"Very well.. but I swear on my life if any one of my sisters get hurt y'all will pay the price" I nod and she grabs a wooden club, smashing the clay bars into dust. We walk out unharmed. "I'm Colby" I say raising my hand for her to shake, she took it. "This is my pack, that's Sam,
Kat, Jake, Tara, Corey, and devyn"
She nodded "it's nice to meet y'all. Now do
Y'all wish to see y'all's friends?"
We all nodded "very much so"
"Then follow me."
