*Soleil* Siri lit a fire close to the parking lot while we were gone. When I join them, Siri takes some herbs, throwing them into the fire. She breathes in the smoke. "Kin please give us strength tonight".  Marta steps up, repeating what she did. "And should I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I Will fear no evil; because you are with me. Amen".  "Við eldarloga Muspelheimers … heiler og sælur algóði faðir". Gudrun says in her native tongue when it is her turn.  I look at the others helplessly. Now I once again have to ask for strength, but I don't know from whom.  "Just please watch out for us tonight. Okay kin ?" I fill my lungs with the smoke like the others had done. And I instantly feel how I get more focused and full of energy. And when we do the other

Warning: This chapter contains torture and murder    *Davina*  I come out from the shower with a towel wrapped around me. In my room I get my phone to put on some music. I see I have gotten a text. 'I'm afraid I won't make it to see you tonight. This is running late. See you tomorrow'.    Fuck ! I mean I have gotten used to Lefu being a Night owl, but I still get disappointed when he has to work half the night and I don't get to see him.    "There isn't much money in running nightclubs in the morning". He had said when I asked. "I Got tired of changing my rhythm back and forth all the time and I realised I worked better at night".    I

 *Luca* The front door of the car is slammed close and soon after my own door is thrown open.  "Oh you are awake. Get off your arse and get inside". Martin grumbles. With no further comment the big man turns and walks after Jonas inside.  I sit up feeling dazed and sling my legs out on the tiles. For a moment I just stand there, scratching my hair tiredly, while the memories from last night wash over me. I hold out my hand, scared of what I will see. It is totally normal, not a scratch, no extra hair and no claws. I sigh feeling relieved. No sign of the wolf, only my own tan skin. I breathe in deeply, collecting my courage for the trashing I know awaits me.  "What the hell happened ?" My father rumbles as soon as I step inside. The voice comes from the livingroom and as soon as I have kicked off my shoes I sneak over to the open door.

 *Luca*  Sand is flying everywhere when I kick hard at the collapsed sandcastle on the small fake beach by the lake. My eyes fall on a flat rock. It looks like a heart. A heart with a deep crack, breaking the smooth surface. I huff as I pick it up, throwing it full force along the surface of the lake. It skips over the surface much longer than it should. I don't care if anyone sees it. Nothing matters any longer.    With a sigh I sit down, looking out on the lake. A couple of boats are slowly sailing past, carried by a soft breeze. My eyes go to some row boats anchored a bit out in the water. They look like chained animals trying to break free. Caught just like me.    I am tempted to take one of them and row to the deepest part of the lake. If I tie myself to the boat

  *Casper* I walk up the grand stairs to the big mansion. It has been such an entertaining night and I have come back to get some sleep. When I walk past the office to the left of the entrance the secretary comes out.  “You are back late. You have not made trouble again have you ?” She glares at me.  “Why ? Did you want to tack along darling ?” I put on my most dazzling smile.  She just glares at me without answering.  “Calm down Natascha. No, I haven’t caused any trouble, okay ?” I laugh as I walk to the grand polished wood staircase that leads upstairs to the private rooms. When I get
