â€œNow that theyâ€™re out of the way, you can explain everything to me, Beyt.â€ Gimmel growled at his sister, backing her into a corner almost obsessively. His eyes were filled with the lust for knowledge though she knew she could not possibly give him what he was seeking.<br/><br/>â€œIâ€™ve told you I canâ€™t reveal everything. Why canâ€™t you understand?â€<br/><br/>â€œIâ€™ve been â€˜understandingâ€™ things long enough. Iâ€™m done being left in the dark; after all weâ€™re siblings and should share information. Perhaps I can be of more help once I fully understand what has been going on. What happened to Jhene back there? What was that business with the Seer? Tell me, Beyt. You should not worry about keeping things from your own flesh and blood. Or maybe I canâ€™t trust you after all. You have been acting strange since we met those wolves, and I canâ€™t help but shake the feeling of the darkness hovering over my shoulder.â€<br/><br/>Beyt looked away from him for a moment, unsure how she could go about this without revealing everything. They were counting on her to keep her mouth shut, but she really did hate lying to her brother all the time. It was wrong to keep him in the dark but she knew he would not trust her if he continued on like this. This was really putting her in a bad situation and she did not like it one bitâ€¦ A sigh escaped her, but before she could say anything he lunged for her throat. Beyt let out a yelp and fell back, her shoulder screaming in pain under his weight.<br/><br/>â€œTell me!â€ His voice did not seem like his own, and she couldnâ€™t help but be frozen, completely still at the sound. But suddenly he turned his attention away from her and looked to the skyline, growling. â€œWe have more company.â€<br/><br/>She sensed it as well; feeling the darkness radiating from whatever was coming their way this time around. Ears against her head, she pushed Gimmel off of her, eyes widened, â€œWe have to warn the others. Something doesnâ€™t feel right.â€<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/>â€œDo you feel it also, Annabelle?â€ Simon asked the dark wolf as he continued to stroke her soft fur. She was always here to comfort him and now he needed her more than ever. He was shaking slightly, knowing full well what was about to happen. â€œThe Dark Place the city stands upon is reawakening, the wolves must hurry. I must warn them.â€<br/><br/>â€œNo. Hopefully 'Gimmelâ€™s' true self will awaken before the dark being reaches them. If not then I will deal with it personally.â€ Annabelle snapped at Simonâ€™s hand when he tried to get up. She didnâ€™t want him to be placed in danger knowing that he would definitely be killed this time. â€œIf you wouldnâ€™t have them the necklace, we would be better protected, keep that in mind. Now we have to hope that it doesnâ€™t come our way first.â€<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">HE stood before the city with a dark snarl curling his lips while he chuckled to himself. This place was practically drowning in their scent, making finding them oh so easy. It was still early in the day as well so finding them would not be much of a task either HE knew. HIS entire body trembled with excitement as he moved like a shadow past the Checkpoint, through city gates, anxious to sink his fangs into them. Once HE destroyed them nothing could hold him back from carrying out his plans of releasing his dark army and taking over this world. That witch Maeva and her little pets would be powerless to stop HIM. The thought brought HIM great joy, being able to watch that witchâ€™s smile of triumph fade away while HE destroyed what she oh so desired to get her hands on.<br/><br/>A sharp howl that was meant for specific ears escaped HIM and soon one of his little demons appeared. HE nodded to the little demon, and it vanished, coming back a few moments later. It has caught on to something HE thought with a chuckle. And what the demon told HIM was indeed surprising: Renee has awakened. Her scent also filled the city. His snarl widened and his trembling started up again. So it has begun after all, and HE was right for coming here. This city would be turned to ashes by HIS own hand while he searched for her, hoping to get to her before that witch does. If that happened, well, it might not end well for HIM and HIS purpose would be meaningless. After all, HE knew that she would want to see him again; the thought was oh so amusing. <br/><br/>What would happen once they met? HE knew that it would be difficult to make her awaken fully, to where that disposable vesselâ€™s soul was completely devoured. Then again HE had his ways of doing thingsâ€¦ Renee would come to appreciate the darkness as he did.<br/><br/>HE chuckled, moving through the city with ease until the scent HE searched for was found.</span>
