"CHEN!"

The four wolves exclaimed happily as they ran and hugged him tighty. After he broke free from the bone crushing hug, he walked towards me and hugged me, saying,

"You should have seen their faces..."

with a chuckle. Tears formed in his eyes as he looked at me. Just then, Kris and Chanyeol came back from their walk.

"KRIS!" Chen exclaimed as he ran towards Kris and hugged him tight.

Tears rolled down their cheeks as they talked to each other. I smiled as I watched them, however my smile started fading as I remembered...1...2...3...4...5...6..., 6 more and the final battle will have to be faced. Facing Maria and fighting her would mean putting everyone's lives in danger, it meant taking everyone from Kris again...it also meant dying. After seeing them so happy to see each other after searching day and night for Kris and him having to avoid them for 12 years. I could not take that away from them.

The choice had been decided, I was going to face her alone. I wasn't ready to face her but I wasn't ready to lose everyone that I cared about more. That would be my little secret that not even Kris would know.

"Are we there yeeeeettt..."Tao whined again as we continued making our way to the dark castle.

Kris was way too happy to even bother with Tao. He had been too busy talking to Chanyeol and Chen. We were now close enough to see the tip of the castle. Hoping to meet the other pack members before reaching our destination, I suddenly remembered something. I looked over my shoulder to see Kris, Chanyeol and Chen with smiles on their faces as they talked, I turned around to face them as I said, stopping everyone from walking any further,

" Show me your pieces of the scroll."

Chanyeol's piece said 'Maria is weak when the blue moon is out...' While Chen's piece said 'Maria is strong when the blood moon is out... defeating her before that is what you need to help to do'
