8 Chapter Eight

~Midnight's POV~ (Flashback)

I hear someone talking late at night, unusual. I always thought that this was unusual. When everyone went to bed there would be voices. Yes voices I know, how ridiculous, it's why I never tell Nightingale or Rowyn. These voices are different tonight. Quieter, faster, and happier...this may be bad. I decide that now is the best time to talk to the girls. Walking to Rowyn's room first I decide to just walk in. If I get her to believe me than Nightingale would end up on my side too. Opening and closing the door I notice that something else was in here. Cautiously I back up against the wall hoping no to get noticed.

"I know your here" a creepy voice said. I blinked, what was going on?

"I know you have questions, but will never ask. Your too afraid of the answers" the disembodied voice said again. I knew they were right so I didn't ask. If they knew that then they knew my questions.

"hmmm smart choice dog. Now I have to do something and I don't want you ruining it, so please take a seat over there" I do as she says against my will. Whoever this is is powerful enough to control me in my own mind. The voice just chuckles.

"Oh I am very powerful and soon enough you will see why. Now say goodbye" A flash of light comes from the darkness and shoots me in the chest. The pain is unbearable.

-------------------------------End Flashback-----------------------------------------------I jolt as pain courses through my body. It's worse than ever this time and I can't help but try to remember what had caused this. I know I had a flashback, I know that it was triggered by something, I don't know why, and I don't know what happens in the flashback. I growl in frustration. This was so unfair, and I couldn't' even tell the others about it!!! I stalked into my area and put up hearing borders. Yah I couldn't talk out loud about any of it unless no one can hear, hence the hearing boarders. The others think I have them up when I'm like crying and don't want them to know. I roll my eyes at that stupid thought, I don't cry. Ok now that I can think is semi peace let's begin the examination.\

"First off, this is Defiantly a flashback whatever THIS is. Umm, I know that it is something I'm not supposed to know. Whatever is going on in this flashback hurts me at the end. I know that this flashback is always triggered,by what I don't know. I think that's all I know." Sighing I slump onto the bed. This would be a lot harder than I thought.

"I think I should try to figure out one thing at a time...so maybe I should figure out what triggers the flashback" I nodded and started to think about when my flashbacks always happen.

"They started... I think it was around eight years ago?....yah that seems right." pacing back and forth around my area I stop. That was when we were nine. I think they started up a few months after the pack left us there. SIghing I rub my eyes, this was going to take a while to figure out all my questions. Something dawns on me now, we have very little education. We haven't been taught anything but pain for years, and soon enough we even stopped that. We can't go into the public being so dumb. I groan, I hated school when we were younger how would I ever go back to doing it. People think were smart for a wolf wet they don't really suspect our smartness as being human because me and the girls are too dumb compared to them. Great I think I need to figure out a way to learn without letting the girls know. Shifting into my beautiful wolf I lay down on and fall asleep.

-------------------------------Next Morning---------------------------------------------Talking that's the first thing I hear when I wake up. I'm tired and worn out. I could barely sleep last night. My mind went on overdrive. I've been running through the halls of a dark house. No one can help me and I feel a sense of doom. I reach the end and pant for breath, it was like something was chasing me but everytime I wake up shaking terror coursing through my eyes as cold dread seeps through my skin. I shiver the last bit of cold lingering through my veins.

"If only I had a wolf inside my head, things would be easier" I begrudgingly thought to myself. Those boys were always right, I was too wolf to be human so I became a mind, a spirit inside someone else's body.

"Let's ask Midnight now," I heard someone say outside my area. Ask me what I wonder, but since they rarely ask me somethings I decide to just get ready for the visit that they probably won't think I'm expecting. turning back into human I roll my shoulders and sit on my bed expectantly. I could play this multiple ways, but the easiest way was to pretend that I wasn't waking up shaking like an idiot from the cold. My brain starts going through what they want to ask me about... it could probably be for me to take over a lot more for 'training'. I roll my eyes, it was Rowyn's idea to train, why would she want me to train for her. As I shake my head I hear the floor boards creek right behind my area, they are probably right outside my area. I decided to let them in without them knocking. A startled gasp quickly covered up sounds for behind my area. (If your confused I don't say room I say area because I'm more wolf than human. That being said It is more of a territory/area than a room, but it acts like a room. Anyway, they came inside looking somewhat timid. I was confused, I was like apart of Rowyn I couldn't do anything to them as it would hurt Rowyn. Shaking those thoughts away I smile at them.

"What D'ya need?" I asked, a bit of peppiness in my voice.

"Umm can you take control for like....a while so we can be more animalistic.?" Rowyn says carefully. I just stare at her. ANIMALISTIC? like yah i'm her full blow wolf form, but animalistic?!?!. I breathed in and out calmly. Put a smile on my face and say

"SUREEE WHyy Notttt" I had a tight smile on my face, and I practically had steam coming out of my ears.

"OH GOSH, thank you soooooo muchhhh Midnight, you're a lifesaver!" she exhales really fast and quickly hugs me. Exiting Nightingale and Rowyn talk animatedly about who knows what. I sigh for like the hundredth time this week. I get up and take control quickly. Of courses, just my luck...when I desperately need to figure something out they decide to drop the bomb in a rude way saying that I need to keep my wits about me and act like the animal I am....UGH.

"I need to take a breather" I mumble to myself. In the outside world I pad in my wolfy form down the stairs and outside. Rushing to the training area I twist and turn into the defenses. Dancing around I become quick on my feet. I'm on high alert though. I don't trust this 'perfect' area. What is Nightingale and Rowyn doing anyway. they never came up to me to give their input. I was getting annoyed so I started practising my tree running. Why couldn't she use Nightingale anyway. Grumbling about this and that I decide to train with rouges.. yah dangerous, stupid, idiotic, call it what you will but that's me and I like it. i have been in this body for far too long to stay trapped.

"OWW" I fall to the ground. Pain stronger than any other coursing through my body. Something was happening and I didn't know what.

"Breath, just breath, don't follow any instincts right now, stay away form anything, and breath" I have no clue what's happening but I knew I wasn't stupid and going after rouges is stupid

"...Someone.....is ....tak-*gasp*...over" I started coughing and my breathing became labored. After all this time I had no control. I tried to call for help but it didn't work. Where were the girls when you desperately needed them. I try to control my outside form, but know that I have to stay away from everybody. Looking around for something to pin me down I notice that my vision was unfocused.

"Well well well, you finally found the courage to figure out what was causing you pain after all these years...I guess that I have to stop you yet again. I can't have you messing things up." A voice said behind me. I jolted and crawled to face her as i was on the floor now. They were in Rowyn's mind like me, I didn't like it one bit. I was more wolf than human and wolves are very territorial. ALthough, I didn't want to kill her...and I hated that instinct with all my heart.

"Oh, what's this, your at war with your instincts. Oh this is lovely, this will make everything that much easier." The disembodied voice said again.

"This all seems familiar" I think to myself.

"How do I stop whatever is going to happen?"
