Shadows

"So you mean, you just changed into a cat all of a sudden and you didn't know why?" Shuang frowned as she asked. She activated her skill but the glowing colors around the two guys didn't say that the two lied. 'Are they shifters? But their mother is a wolf and these two are also wolf when they were born...but how did they became a cat? Only shifters can do this kind of magical things.

"You guys, did you have some vague memories with your mother wolf when you're still inside her tummy? I mean something like a kind of skills or ability to detect and observe surroundings even when you two are still fetus?"

The two guys tilted their little heads as they looked at her confusely. Shuang sighed as she halfly expected the answer.

"Alright, did you two could change back to your original self?"

The two little guys nodded this time which give her a relief. Though she didn't hate cats but she would still prefers their wolf body.

"Then why did the two of you did not change back yet?"

"We are waiting for the full moon as we need the moon's energy to boost our innate energy to change back." Baixue explained.

"This was our first time to shift. Our body are still not used to it. We are still familiarizing the changes in our body and the new energy build. We have to train to control and stabilise this energy so we could easily shift back and forth anytime we want without any mishap."

Shuang make a count silently from Baixue's statement.

" The full moon will occur still three days from now, so it means you will be a cat for these three days ?"

"Most likely..." Baixue answered

"Then the timing is great. I have something for you two to do with me." Shuang said mischievously that made the two guys looked into each others eyes.

Late that night, two shadows freely evaded the residences of the officers. They spread something in the air in the Master's house room particularly. Thirty minutes after the two shadows left the residence they had came in, another shadows arrived, and just awhile ruckus can be heard inside the residences followed by a fire.

The next morning, news of massive attempted assassination of the officers in their respective homes spread once again in the entire city and this time, all the Master's in the house were lightly injured as the first prince deployed his men secretly near the officers' residences. Oddly, the officers fell sick right after the incident and only officer Hong left fine after the incident.

Hong Residence...

"What happened? Why did they fell sick all of a sudden and your just fine?" Madam Hong was restless as she was so worried about the next outcome of the incidents last night.

"I do not know, I already sent Hong Kun to investigate." just as officer Hong said, a knock was heard outside the door and a silhouette of a man entered the room.

The man bowed slightly when he saw the Madam inside.

"Master..."

"What did you gathers? " Officer Hong asked his most trusted man immediately.

"Master, all the officers fell into a high fever and it looks likely the symptoms of the Slumbering Poison..." Hong Kun carefully reported.

Officer Hong frowned when he heard the man's report.

"You mean, they were poisoned and it showed the same symptoms of the Slumbering Poison?"

The man nodded and officer Hong become anxious at instant.

"How about Doctor Yun?"

"We still can't gather any news about Doctor Yun. His whereabouts still unknown until now."

Officer Hong tapped the table as he pondered deeply. Madam Hong on the side become more restless. After a while, he took a deep breath and let out a big sighed.

"I think we need to do the drastic plan." Officer Hong stated after while and looked directly to Hong Kun.

"I understand Master."
