Chapter 3: Chrysalis who?

Jamerson's POV

Age Six

   Chrys is so mad right now I can feel it. I can't believe she went as far as to hit me like that. If she would just listen a second. I know I'll still get to go to the trials with her. We had so much to do there. We couldn't mess that up. "I"

couldn't mess that up.

   Before I could get her to stop yelling at me she dropped to her knees in front of me. The air got really hot and I felt like I was breathing it in. A warm feeling spread in my chest. Chrys began to change right in front of me. I thought it was weird she was already shifting and we were only pups. Her ears got a bit bigger and fur started to grow on them. Her fingers started to get claws and fur too. She also had a fluffy tail coming from behind her. I could only stare. I was also having a hard time breathing. Then Chrys's eyes began to shine and change colors.

   I took a step forward and all of sudden she disappeared and the warm feeling was gone with her. One moment she was in front of me in pain and then the next she looked like she was being sucked into a different darker part of the forest that was closed off to me. Once it had her. I called out to her. "Chrysie! Chrysie! Chrysie, where are you! Can you hear me?!" I got nothing.

   I knew she wasn't entirely gone because I could still feel here in myself. Since our pact was made I have been able to sort of tell where she is and sometimes I feel how she feels.

   I didn't know how to save her, so I started running back to the pack house. I started yelling as I got close. "Alpha! Alpha! Alpha, help! Please help!" I ran right into Luna Elena.

   She looked down at me in a disapproving manner. She bent down to scold me saying, "you know you should not be running in the pack house Jamerson?"

   I looked up into the face that was so much like Chrysie's and started to cry. She put her arms around me saying, "tears will not keep you out of trouble for very much longer Jamey."

   I pulled back and I started telling her what happened with Chrys in the forest and she picked me up and started running. As we ran I could feel her aura going crazy while holding me. As we got closer to the forest I saw Alpha Virgil and some warriors running behind us.

   Once in the forest I think Luna and Alpha could smell the spot that Chrys was at when it happened. Luna put me down and I finished telling them what she looked like and how it felt when it happened.

   Alpha Virgil began to question me, "What do you mean she was shifting? You two can't shift. You know this Jamerson. So, try to remember son. What did you really see? I understand you're scared. Did someone make it onto our land and take her?"

   I just stood there looking at the spot Chrys should have been. Before I could speak Luna Elena did. "Virgil. Give the child time to answer.” “We only have a short amount of time to find her," Alpha Virgil said.

   All of sudden I felt the warmth in my chest again. It was like when Chrys was in pain in front of me. I started walking in a circle. looking up, twisting and turning. "What's going on Jamerson? Are you okay?" Luna Elena started to question me. "Chrysie is still here." I said. "What do you mean?" Both Alpha and Luna asked at the same time.

   I started to tell them that I could feel it but, before I got the words out they appeared almost surrounding us. They were wolves like us. With brown or orange eyes. I couldn't tell. A man and woman that looked like they were the leaders stepped forward.

   "Who is in charge here?" The man asked. Alpha Virgil stepped forward putting all of us behind his large frame. He spoke up, "I am the Alpha here. How did you get here? Who are you? Where do you come from?" Our warriors began to flank him to protect Luna and I.

   Alpha Virgil started to lift his head in the air like he could smell something. His eyes started to shift into his wolf's electric blue color and his claws extended. He didn't lose himself to his wolf though. His wolf asked, "Why do you smell of my pup. Are you the ones that took her from here?"

   The man that looked to be the leader moved his hand in the air to call someone forward. Another figure appeared out of nowhere as if it was invisible at first and then became visible. The person seemed to be a tall young man. He was holding Chrys in his arms. He started walking towards Alpha Virgil as if he was going to hand her over. He started to extend his arms and stopped. He turned his head. Eyes glowing and walked straight towards me.  He knelt in front of me and laid her down. I didn't realize I had been clutching my chest since they showed up. I fell to my knees beside her body. She was still part shifted. I could hear Luna Elena telling Alpha Virgil to stay where he was. Chrys was asleep. Her dress was torn up and there was blood on it and all over her. I placed my hand on her chest where I could feel the warmth in mine. All of sudden she shifted back to normal and I could breathe again. I fell next to her on the ground. I was so tired. I put my arm around Chrys and looked over at the others watching us.
