Minzy sipped her cool cup of tea she had just maded as she stared out into the vast wild. She couldn't remember the last time she felt so at peace. But then again she really hadn't felt anything when she had turned everything off and surrendered herself to her powers. It was months ago, yet it still felt as though it was yesterday. She had found out many great things about her powers to control nature. She had learned that it wasn't exactly controlling mother nature, but more so having it bend to her advantage. It was as if mother nature was on her side. Grinning at the thought of having someone in her corner, she figured it was something to go off seeing as she had been on her own. She had used her powers to escape her reality of joining the original family and had been on the run. Nearly getting caught from time to time, with time she was able to sharpen her skills. But even if she had been able to define and sharpen her use of her powers, the thoughts of not being able to have the power to control her past came to mind. Taking a deep breath so not to cloud the skies around her, she tried to think of what else she could do to sharpen her powers. It was in that moment that a thought came to mind, raising to her feet she allowed her feet to carry her through the wind. Taking one step at a time, it was her way to out run her troubles. It was her way to show her past that she was trying to move on, one step at a time. Picking up her pace, she began to shift back and forth from human to wolf. The trees seemed taller and the air crisp as she weaved in and out of them. She felt herself becoming one with nature as she raced to the music of her thumping heart. Freeing her mind and powers, she ran to her hearts content. 

Coming to a light skip as she eyed her cup of tea she had left earlier, she picked up the cup and plopped onto the cool earthy ground. Quickly chugging the liquid, it burned like acid. Just as fast, she was throwing up the acid like tea as she started to gasp from her insides nearly being turned into mush. 

"You're being summoned back home," a familiar voice called.

Minzy continued to spit up whatever was left of her poisoned drink, "I have no home!"

"Minzy don't let this be harder than it needs to be," the infamous tracker known as CL sighed. "Please, come home." 

"How...did you find me," she breathed as she felt her insides slowly start to piece together from all the wolfbane she drank. 

"It was near impossible. It was as if I was tracking a ghost. But even ghosts get caught," CL smuggly grinned. "Now let us go before the others find you," CL referred to the original family trackers. 

"I can't believe the original family didn't take over the pack," Minzy shrugged half impressed. 

"Forget the original family and listen to me Minzy," CL spoke with urgency. "It's Father..." 

CL didn't have to say another word. Minzy was already gone as she took off with all her strength. Shifting into her wolf form she let her instincts carry her home. Her heart was pounding so hard, she could've sworn that her heart would burst. But that was the least of her worries right now. She had to get home. Focusing her strength and powers, she soon found the mansion coming into view. It was the view she had so longed to see and be at, yet she was too ashamed for killing Seunghyun and running away from the orignial family. Pushing those guilty thoughts aside, she raced into the mansion ignoring all the shocked and frazzled looks shot her way as she rushed over to Father's thrown to see that it was empty. Panic set in as she ran into Father's room to find that it was also empty. 

"He's not here," a voice rang from behind and she quickly turned and growled as Jiyong held up his hands. 

"Where is he," she growled with her wolf telepathy giving him double meaning to her words that if Father was hurt there would be hell to pay. 

"You're stronger than I imagined you'd be," Jiyong stared at how becoming her powers glowed from all around her. "And to think that you're still in your stages of developing them..."

"Where is he," Minzy barked to get Jiyong to refocus on more important matters. 

Jiyong knowingly nodded as he sighed, "He's down at your family cave..." 

It was all she needed to hear before she dashed out of the room to run full force to her family cave. Her long strides gave her the impression that her mother and brother were there with her, running along side her. That warm feeling her gave her pride in every stride until she came to the family cave. Lunging through the water fall, she was comforted to see her father standing there gazing at the many family paintings on the wall. 

"Took you long enough," he coughed as she shifted and threw on some clothing. 

After throwing on some clothing she rushed over and crushed her body against his. Holding him with all the strength she had, she buried her face into his chest and inhaled that oh so familiar scent. "Father..." she breathed as she found herself starting to tear up. 

"Oh my wonderful baby girl," her father nearly sang as he held her tightly. "I'm so glad you're finally home." 

Cocking her head up, she looked up at him through tear-filled eyes, "What is the matter father? Is it what I think it is?" 

"And what are you thinking it is," he chuckled lightly as he used his thumbs to wipe away her tears. 

Sniffling she pouted up at him, "Father is it your time?" 

Raising an eyebrow at her he eyed her before smiling and shaking his head, "No my child." 

"Then what is it," she asked as she straightened up confused.

"It's your time," he smiled as he winked down at her before his gaze shifted out towards the water fall. "Go my child. He's been waiting for you."

"Who," she breathed as it was her turn to raise an eyebrow up at her father. 

"Come and find out yourself," said before pecking her on the cheek and rushing out of the cave and through the water fall. 

Minzy didn't know what to make of what her father said. She thought about what he said it being her time and someone waiting for her, but who was it? She shook her head, remembering the fact that she had just run into Jiyong earlier. Could that really be who her father was referring to? Could her father have fallen under the jurisdiction of the original lycan family? If so she would rip them all to shreds and then return to the wild where she felt she belonged. 

Glancing back to the various paintings of her ancestors, it gave her the strength to meet her fate and rush out through the water fall. Flipping a couple times, she soon found ground and took to her senses and powers. If it was a fight the original family wanted, it was a fight they were going to get. "Show yourself," she demanded as she tried to sense whoever the hell was waiting for her. 

"It's been a long time," a voice boomed that shook her to the core. She snapped her head in the direction from where the voice was coming from and she gasped. It was as if she felt the earth shift and time had stood still. There standing before her was none other than Seunghyun. At least that was what it looked like, but in a way he didn't seem to look like him either. He seemed different. 

"Who are you," she balled her hands up and hissed. "And what do you want from me?" 

He stepped forward and she felt the winds start to pick up, "You know who I am." 

She held her hand up to stay him, "Who are you?" 

He stopped and gave her a crooked grin that made her start to shake, "Minzy you know who I am." 

The way he said her name caused her chest to tighten as she stood staring at the man before her in disbelief. This couldn't be him. Seunghyun had died right in her arms months ago. The vivid image of him taking his last breath searing right through her mind, brought rage. The earth started to shake as the sky started to darken, she wasn't stupid. The man she loved was dead. There was no way in hell that this was him. "You're ing with the wrong person." 

"Actually," he stepped forward and the earth stopped shaking and he raised his hand to lighten the sky once again. "You're the exact person I was waiting for." 

The way he so easily disarmed her powers brought fear in her, "What the..." 

"It's me Minzy," he softly spoke as he inched closer to her. "It's Seunghyun." 

"Seunghyun died months ago in my arms. I know what I saw, so don't try to convince me other wise," Minzy growled as she moved her fingers and shifted the winds to build a force filled around her. 

He sighed as he fearlessly walked through her shield and was face to face with her, "Look into my eyes and you'll see." 

The fury in her wanted to prove him wrong. Facing their palms towards each other, she locked her hard gaze with his. It was then that flashes of light soon consumed her. She was taken back to where she had been consumed of her powers and escaped to leave Seunghyun lying on the ground. There Jiyong seemed frustrated and ready to strike the assumed dead Seunghyun when someone caught his paw. It was another original family member who's name was Seungri. Seungri shook his head and revealed that Seunghyun was still alive and that he was sent into a coma due to the consuming of his coming powers. Everyone was shocked at Seungri's revelation that Seunghyun also possessed original lycan powers. This is what saved Seunghyun from truly being killed because the original lycan family never betrayed their own kind. Flashes of seeing Seunghyun come into his powers, he was her balance. He possessed the power to off set her claims to mother nature. It was the reason she was free to roam the wild. He was coming into his powers and he wanted to be strong enough to meet her as an equal. 

Minzy didn't know when she had stopped gazing into his eyes, but she soon found herself on her knees holding herself as she started to weep. All this time she had been mourning his death. All this time she had been an emotional wreck for what? He never truly died. He was only playing sleeping beauty as she went through months of loneliness and darkness. It was all she knew and understood to really take in what she had just seen through his eyes. 

"Minzy," he knelt down and gently reached out to touch her. 

"Don't," she cried as she moved away. She wasn't ready to feel his touch. She was too overwhelmed by what she had just seen. "I...thought you were dead. I thought I had lost you." 

He grinned as he sat staring at her, "So did I. But I'm here now." 

Through her blurred vision she looked up at him. Though it was hard for her to wrap her mind around it, she sat staring up at him. Looking past this new aura surrounding him, she seriously stared hard up at him. She could see it then. It was him staring back at her. He was the Seunghyun she knew and loved sitting right next to her. He was the one who she had cried out for during her many sleepless nights alone in the wild.

Reaching with trembling fingers, she let it trace the outline of his strong structured face. Taking in every inch and detail of him, those dark chocolate eyes that had specks of gold staring back at her as if he too was studying her very countance. Leaning forward she took him in a strong embrace clinging onto him with all her strength. It was then that she inhaled deeply and smelt that freshly fallen rain from heaven scent that seemed to start to melt the ice that guarded her hard heart. Pulling back to gaze back into those lovely eyes she had missed, she saw that same look in his eyes he held months ago. Sinking her teeth into her lower lip, she couldn't help to think that possibly that look ran deeper than she had last seen. Rising to her feet, she felt as if something in her clicked. Closing her eyes, she let the winds wrap around her body and the leaves pick up as she absorbed the strength and powers of the earth flowing towards her. 

"Are you going to run away," he asked concerned at what she was thinking.

It was then that her eyes snapped open and she smirked at him, "And if I do?"

Standing to meet her gaze he grinned, "I'll just have to catch you."

She shrugged before she turned to flip her hair at him, "I don't know if you can." Winking at him, she figured this would be a perfect time to put him to the test, "Let's see just how powerful you are."

In a flast she was gone. She wasn't going to give him time to think. If he was truly her equal as she saw in his eyes, he had to prove himself worthy of it. Running as hard and as fast as she's ever run, she nearly forgot that she was running from someone. That was until she sensed the presence of someone meeting her every stride. Focusing on herself, she flipped and twirled gracefully as she switched directions suddenly. Not giving him any breaks, she zig zagged and hurdled over branches and bushes of all kinds. Of course she couldn't feel a presence as she continued her run, she felt victory tugging at her lips as she ran towards the mansion. Leaping as high as she could, she invisioned the warmth of her soft cozy bed and was ready to lay in it. But to her surprise she wasn't able to catch her footing as she was suddenly sent the opposite direction by a strong force. Tumbling onto the ground, she found herself flat on her back on the cold earth with her arms pinned above her head.

"Got you," Seunghyun breathed as his body hovered over hers.

"Okay you got me," she frowned never being beat at her own game.

"Who do I got," he teased as if to rub it in.

She huffed out in disbelief before rolling her eyes at him, "You got me."

"Damn right I do," he smirked before he used his free hand to caress the side of her face. "I've missed you." She wanted nothing more than to turn away in embarassment, but he had her pinned, literally. "I've been dreaming of the day I would have you in my arms again. To hold you and let you know I would die for you over and over again just to know that you feel the same for me." 

She grimaced at the thought of him leaving her once again, "I'm not worth it." 

Her words and thoughts were silenced as he smashed his lips against hers. Roughly kissing her with all the strength and power he possessed, he passionately let her know she was damn worth dying for and more. Mother nature couldn't help but agree as the various seasons flashed around them Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter all mixed as their mixed emotions of guilt, pain, love, and passion consumed the couple. The hard passionate kisses, soon softened as she felt him trembling against her. 

"I love you," he whispered against her lips as he continued to work his lips against hers. 

His words sunk deep into her heart, melting away any doubt or fear she had. It was in his soft kisses that she could feel how she wasn't the only one that suffered these long months of loneliness and darkness. She felt her heart pounding so loudly, she couldn't help but breathe the words that were consuming her, "I love you too." Pecking his lips one last time before reluctently pulling away, she wipped the tears away from his eyes and stared lovingly at him. "I promise you I'll never run away from you again." 

"Now that I can catch you," he laughed. "I won't ever let you run away from me again," he smiled before taking her back tightly in his arms again.

Minzy couldn't help the smile that tugged at her lips. It had been such a long time since she had smiled. Hearing Seunghyun's hearty laugh and feeling his warm embrace made her heart feel that odd comfort she had thought she had lost so long ago. Snuggling up against his strong form, it was as if the heavens were smiling upon her, seeing as she fit perfectly against him.

Inhaling the perfection of fresh fallen rain, she let this new memory engrave in her mind. It was one of the many memories that would for sure go down in the history books of the cursed kind, known as lycans. Though Minzy had to beg to differ, she may have thought her life was cursed. But having someone like Seunghyun who could run along side her as her equal was more like a blessing in such a crazy thing called life.
