"Avella, are you ready to come out?"
"I'm here mom. I was just showing Shadow my….."
*BOOM!! *BOOM!! *BOOM!!*
"Who could that be knocking on our door at this hour?"
"Are their any other secret door knocks I don't know about?"
"Maybe it's Wolf."
*BOOM!!! *BOOM!! *BOOM!!*
OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW, IN THE NAME OF THE KING."
"You shouldn't have come here."
"How did he know where we were? He doesn't even know about you guys."
"Wait a second...…..
That's not the king. Do you hear that?"
"I SAID OPEN UP. THE KNG'S NOT GOING TO ASK AGAIN. IF WE FIND YOU HELPING THE KIDS IN ANY WAY, THEN THE PUNISHMENT IS DEATH."
"Aaaaaghhh."
"No,,nooo…..you can't take her. She's heard nothing. I swear it."
*BANG*
"Aaaaaaaghhhh!!!"
"LASH HIM GOOD. ONE OF THESE VILLAGERS IS BOUND TO TALK."
"He's searching all the houses."
"That means he doesn't know you are here. Quick, go in the backroom. Ambrielle, show them the way."
"Why are you helping us? The king has never helped you."
"I know, but you have. You have given us hope that their can be a future like your mother foretold. When you left, we never gave up hope. Even after you came back with only half, we still held, and will hold forevermore. You've helped us our whole lives, let us return the favor. Now go."
"WE'RE COMING IN!!!!!"
*BOOF*
"WHERE ARE THEY? I KNOW THEY WERE HERE. WHERE ARE YOU HIDING THEM?"
"I don't know what you're talking about. We have never…..owww!!! Let me go. Let me go!!!!!"
"Don't hurt my mother. I'll make you pay for what you did."
"Avella, come on."
*Huuupshhh!! Too*
"You're a strong little girl, aren't you? May I see the drawing you are holding in your hands?
Please."
"Avella, it's ok. You can show them."
"But mommy. They won't under...got it."
"Hey, give that back!!! It's not yours!!!!"
"I just want to take a look, little girl. I promise not to destroy it in any way shape or form."
"Oh, lookie what we got here? Who's that sitting on the throne with Healers flying all around, and a hoard of people lined up to wait their turn?"
"Avella, don't tell him….aaaaaghh!!!"
"MOMMY!!!!"
"Now if you don't tell me who's sitting on the throne, then I'll slice your beautiful mommy's neck. How about it? WHO…..IS SITTING...ON THE THRONE?"
".....It's Wolf!!"
"HA!! HAA!! HAAA!! HAAAAAA!!!!!! That's a good one, little miss sunshine. You have quite the imagination and a skill for drawing, but haven't you got the news? WOLF IS DEAD!!!!!!! He aint coming back to fulfill your dreams and fantasies."
"YOU'RE WRONG. HE IS COMING BACK AND WILL TAKE HIS RIGHTFUL PLACE. JUST WAIT AND SEE."
"Huuh? Talking back, are we? Tell me, how is he going to walk up out of the grave and take us all out? With the king's Legion gone, who knows where Wolf ended up. There is no way he can make it back here."
'I believe it."
"You believe it. Haaa!! Little girl believing the dead can walk. You got quite the imagination, young one."
"It's not imagination I have, but faith."
"Faith, you said? Where is this 'Faith' of yours now? Oh yea, she's all the way up there hiding in her wings while slowly being eaten alive by Nightmasters beasts. Is that where your faith is? Faith is unseen, but let me show you something that's real and you can believe it."
"Noooooooo!!!!!!"
*SLIT*
"MOMMA!!! How could it come to this?"
"Avella, don't cry. Let me wipe your tears. It'll be alright. Just have faith."
"BAG THE GIRL AND FEED HER TO THE BEASTS. I'LL HANDLE THE REST.
YOU THERE!! SEARCH THE PLACE."
"Hey, if you want to go back there then you'll have to go through me!!!"
"Why are you standing in my way, Peasant? If you block me then that means you have something to hide."
"And it'll stay hidden."
"I'll be the judge of that."
"Haaagh!!"
"YOU FOLLOW THE HOPE OF AN UNFORSEEN MOTHER. OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE THE VISION OF THE KING. SEE THE VISION THAT HAS BEEN PLAYED OUT FOR YOU!!!"
"HER VISION WILL COME TO PAST, AND THE KING….WILLL…..BE...REPLACED!!!!!!!"
"He may be replaced, but you'll never live long enough to receive it, Old man."
"NOOO!! NOO!!"
*Kurrkkch!!!*
"SEARCH THE WHOLE HOUSE. I WANT NO STONE LEFT UNTURNED. THEY COULDN'T HAVE GONE FAR."
"Hurry!! Come on."
"What about your sister?" They'll kill her for sure."
"I'll go back."
"No. We can't lose anymore."
"Then send us. We can handle this."
'No. I will not send anyone.
Shadow!!!"
"Wait, Shadow, why are you nodding at Genie? Genie, why are you forming a ball with your hands?"
"Just say when. Once a clear shot opens up, I'm game."
"Wait, what are you doing?"
"LET ME GO!!! LET ME GO!!!!"
"Hold her together. WE can't have….owww. You bit me, little brat."
"HELP!!! HELP!!!!"
"Not yet!! Not yet!!!!"
"GET BACK HERE. YOU WILL SHOW US OR WE WILL KILL YOU."
"GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME."
"AIM!!!!
Steady!!! Steady!!!!"
"I can't move. I can't move."
"Feisty little girl with her feet, are we?
This will teach you not to yell.
GET HER IN THE TRUCK!!!!"
"NOW!!!!!!!!"
*PHOOM*"
"ROOOOAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!"
"Aaaaghh!! She's one of them. She's a wolf!!!!
Ouch!!!"
"Get off me. Get off…aaaawww!!!!!"
"Genie, what did you just do?"
"Abby, you know what to do.
Go in and use your healing powers to transform her back before she gets too wild."
"Hey, I asked you a question. How and why did you transform my little sister into one of you?"
"GOT HER. SHE'S SECURE."
"I have the power to transfer myself onto others and turn them into wolves. Most of the time, only Nightmaster regulates when I can and can't use my powers on, but I always have the last say. He thinks he can control me, but nobody can."
"Errrrrrrrrr!!!!"
"Avella, it's ok. It's just me, Abby. I'm going to walk up on you nice and slow. I'm a friend.
Drop their bones out of your mouth and step away. You've done enough damage."
"Every time I turn someone into a wolf, I always have to send my sister Abby in to calm the person down because I am still getting used to my powers. Most of the time, I can transform someone, and they're fine, but other times they get too wild and are so out of control, they never bother to turn back to humans. Since Abby is a Healer just like dad, she is the only one I trust to go in and calm the situation down."
"Can I go to her now?"
"Not yet. We have to wait for Abby to give us the clear."
"Avella, it's ok. They won't hurt you anymore so let's not hurt them. If you do, then you're no different from an animal as they are. Nightmaster has his animals, and so do we. His are bloodthirsty and controlled. Ours are not. Here, do you see this drawing of Wolf you drew? I believe in you. If Wolf were here, he would not like to see you like this. Please, just let me touch you."
"Grrrr!!! GRRRRRrrrrrr!!!!"
"That's it. Calm!! Calm!!"
"I'm going in."
"AMBRIELLE, NOOOO!!!!"
"GRRRRRRR!!!!!!!"
"Stay back, she is out of control."
"Avella, it's me, Ambrielle."
"Ambrielle, I said stay back. She doesn't know the difference between friend or foe. All she sees is meat and needs blood to satisfy her hunger."
"I'm not afraid."
"You should be.
Stop walking closer. What are you doing?"
"You're a Healer, are you not? If I get injured, then you will heal me."
"I'm not ready to test how far my power can go, and neither should you."
"I'm not leaving."
"Okay, Okay!!! Ummm…draw her attention towards you so that I can sneak up from behind and lay hold."
"Got it.
HEY AVELLA, WANNA PLAY HIDE AND SEEK? You have to catch meee!!!!!!!"
"Ruff, ruff!!! Ruff, ruff!!!"
"GOT YOU."
"Owwrl!! Owwrll!!!"
"AVELLA, IT'S TIME TO TRANSFROM BACK INTO THE FORM YOU KNOW TO BE TRUE."
"IS IT DONE!!!! IS SHE BACK?"
"YES. YOU CAN COME OUT NOW, AMBRIELLE!!"
"What…..what happened to me? Eww!!! Did I do that?"
"It doesn't matter now, little sister. I got you. I got you!!!"
