"We rest here for the night". Cole yelled to the students.
It was the second night and tomorrow they would arrive. They were all tensed up. The seniors seemed more calm as they were stationed to take the Frontline while the juniors would offer assistance as the last line of defense.
Judy couldn't sleep. She kept her eye peeled out looking at Mark's every move. She was sure the guy would have pushed her as they hicked but he didn't do anything. He didn't even glance at her which was more dreadful than relaxing.
She sat on a log at the edge of the camp they set. She looked at the dying fire lost in thought. She had spotted Chase and Mark speaking and ever since had a eerie feeling. Something about them seemed to bring a chill to her. She prayed to the moon goddess to protect her from the two vile shadows.
"Can't sleep?" Megan approached Judy and sat beside her.
Judy nodded." Just siked for tomorrow I guess..."
Megan sighed. " You know I've fought with shadows before..." She showed Judy a scar on her arm . It looked like a deep cut left that. "This is a souvenir"
Judy's eyes widened at the scar. "Nice..."
Megan chuckled. "They are pretty tough creatures but you just need to watch your back..."
Judy chuckled. "It's actually funny how you're so laid back..."
"Stick with me and I'll teach you tricks..." Megan said. " You know you're sister is the best we have. Jenny is an expert fighter. I actually look up to her..."
Judy knew her sister was a menace on the field. She even spared with Mr Jason himself. Even in her pack she was a recognized Alpha blood. She was just like their father. A strong grey wolf.

"Hydra! Hydra!" Macy called out in the valley at night.
"Stop yelling!" Hydra's form appeared before her. He was resting invisible to all. "What he's away so why are you here?"
Macy crossed her arms over her chest." Tell me what he's planning"
Hydra arched a brow but soon returned to his usual unbothered self. "Ask him?"
Macy sighed in frustration. " My friends lives are on the line..."
"Oh My I'm so worried..."Hydra said sarcastically as he lied down his gigantic tail wrapping around him.
Macy rolled her eyes at his sarcasm. "Gosh you're so infuriating could you just tell me and I'll be out of your hair..."
Hydra chuffed steam." As much as I want that I don't know... He hasn't told me yet..."
"And you're not curious?"
"Not at all. He's a genius grown man . He can handle his shit"
Macy sighed knowing this beast wasn't going to tell her anything. She began walking away from him as Hydra watched.

Grey and Danny were talking in Grey's room. Grey showed Danny his artistic skill through his paintings. He had done one of her and Danny was delighted. The room fell silent and the tension palpable. He leaned in and kissed her. The kiss soon turned ravenous and he pulled her onto his laps his hands roaming her body. He tugged at the hem of her shirt and she took it off. Just before things could escalate, Grey took a deep breath as his eyes turned white.
"Grey!" Danny called out as he froze not moving." Fucking hell....Grey!"
Grey's body convulsed as he saw a vision of Chase being consumed by darkness and Mariana walking out scot free.
"Breath idiot!" Danny called out as panic rose in her system.
Grey took a deep breath as his eyes cleared up and he was sweating bullets. Danny sighed in relief as she closed her eyes and stood from his lap.
"What did you see..." Danny asked as she wore her shirt. Grey was trembling.
"I saw..." He stopped trying to connect the pieces ." I saw Mariana free..."
Danny's heart stopped beating as she heard him. She crouched beside him.
"What do you mean you saw Mariana free..."
Grey turned to look at her. He took a deep breath as he explained what he saw." I saw Chase die I guess but later on I saw Mariana walk free...."
Danny nodded. She cupped his cheek. "Don't worry. Rest up"
Grey looked shaken up but sighed as he fell on the bed. "Stupid vision ruined our moment..."
Danny laughed as she stood up. "Oh I'm sure we'll have many more...".
She soon left to tell her friends.

"Fuck!" Henry said as Danny finished talking. They were all in the library despite curfew.
"This is bad ..."Luke said. "Wait where's Macy?"
Danny shrugged." Not in her room. Maybe with Harry..."
They all nodded as it was possibly true. They all went into deep thought.
"We need to find a way to stop this..." Henry said. "Or else we're all fucked!"

Meanwhile Macy was in the astute hall piecing together what she had. She knew that the intrepids were as a sacrifice to the shadows to stop them from releasing Mariana. She also knew Chase tied himself to her and bound them together. She knew Harley had a plan to stop the death's and somehow Mariana from escaping but she was missing something. She groaned in frustration.
"Fuck!"
Macy sat on one of the chairs and closed her eyes to think. She felt herself calm and as she relaxed she could feel her senses drift to Harry's words. He didn't care. She suddenly jolted awake.
"If Chase was the source of darkness and the real problem then why are they helping him? Why listen to him?"
