(First Thank you for the comments and advice everyone and second I know it is hard for me to go back through and correct grammar on my phone but be assured I am slowly going back threw book one and this one making changes in punctuation as I go.)
Mix pov; Elizabith my sis ran ahead of me as I tried to run fast enough to catch up my legs where becoming sore as they where shorter then hers, and Random was miles ahead of us I could barely see him as I stopped to catch my breath I realized something I could not see either of them now. "Elizabeth, Random!" I yelled fear spiked in my chest it was dark I was alone and just when I thought (it can't get any worse) howls split threw the night sky a melody so scary. For me the hunt was on and I was there pray, I ran again with new resolve I had to get away to find my sister and my friends suddenly I wanted to cry and soon hot tears, ran hot jagged paths down my checks my adventure had become my nightmares every second filled me with new dread. The howels had stopped but I new they where out there following, hunting I was not but pray in a predators game a game I feared I would lose.
Shape shifters pov: time earlier in story...
I read the book its old cover warn with age and dust the title; (the effects of mythical creatures blood) "you are sure that this is why they came here" I said the fox flicked his tail as he fixed his dark blue glasses "as sure as a rabbit never hides in the same burrow I dug" he says I study him fox shifters tended to be sneaky dubble agents and if the vampires wanted this book I was sure he would give it for a price I sigh "how much" I say he grins the secret you keep Shape the secret of how us foxes make fox fire, "No I... your not ready to know that info yet" I say evasively he growls "I read the book Shape" I stare at him and sigh "I will tell you where to go to get the knowledge you seek but unlocking the key to it is up to you. So listen closely. "go to where water tuches the sky where land cracks like glass and rivers burn like fire there you will find the hidden idol when all hope seems lost and days spin round only then can knowledge be found" said shape the fox flicked his tail in an anoyed manner "ok here" he said as he tossed shape the book. "Now to hide it away where not even the dead can find it" said shape
Modern time...
Mix pov: I ran and ran jagged rocks cut me soiling the earth with my blood as in my hast I must have lost my sneakers my sis always said "don't forget to tie them or they will run right off your feat" I should have listened to her more I should have hot scorching pain shot threw my back as claws tore threw weak flesh I fell to the ground letting out a pain filled cry. As I rolled from the impact of the blow I became aware of a few things rather slowly one I was in pain two the ground was no longer under me and three I was falling. Now four I am probably going to die five cold and wet I was cold and wet and I was being tossed around I must have landed in water I was barely able to keep my eyes open was this the end. My eyes began to close but not before I saw a girl looking at me hair red like fire eyes that seemed to be a living flame but it was the skin she was dark green all went dark. The wolf growled down at the water below the boy was gone probably dead he liked at the blood that stained his paws with its crimson mark the wolf felt no joy as true joy came when the hunt was done he did not know for sure if the pray was dead. He shifted to human form "hay Hecter there you are" said one of his pack his pack mare was tom he had short brown hair and coco eyes he was a lanky lad. Hecter ran a hand threw his black hair "Tom we should head back we will surch all the river tommrow that is in are lands if he is not there then he is dead." Said Hector "and if he is not there and not dead" asked tom? "Then we kill him when next we meet" said Hector.
Shape shifter pov modern time: The world was falling apart around me I could feel it as I worked to heal the wolf shifter my friend watched on then there was the Prince he was frantic ranting about Phoenix's in the mountains and other strange sightings but repeated time and time again was traitors and find the queen. I don't think he new how loud he was being or maybe he did not care and who was this queen? I sniped some of the silver away that had been heading for the wolf's heart and pondered this "not Sue I hope" I whispered in such a way that I new my friend would hear but not the Prince as he was several rooms away my friend nodded and I almost snipped the dam wolves ear off "God's this can't be happening, and this is all my fault I brought them here" I think right as the wolf flat lines for the last time the silver was in his heart and before my eyes I watched the wonder that was silver poisoning as beautiful as it is deadly as every organ, every bit of the wolf became incased in solid silver. "Next time you want to question someone try not to use there weakness" I snap out  as I through my surgical stuff across the cell I never liked losing a patient. Apparently his magisty heard me and graced us with his presence "weakness loosens the tongue professor" he said as he leaned against the wall a look of distaste etched on his face "what  gorish lawn decor Telamarine take it to the maze of shadows. He said as a black cat shifter entered and took the wolf away Darker looked at shape "careful professor the walls have eyes and ears best to watch what you say in case they grow teeth as well" he said Shape gulped he new that he needed to tread with care when in the layer of the  vampires.
