Tossing and turning I huffed in annoyance and threw the blanket off of me. It was dark outside and no doubt mostly everyone would be asleep.

After Duncan passed on the message about Adrian and his Elemental arriving today, all the warrior wolves were high on alert.

I closed my eyes and my head sunk into the fluffy pillow, however my eyes seemed to snap open.

Sleep wouldn't find me and I grew tired of trying. Sighing, I stood up and slowly made my way to the door as I led myself through the darkness of the room.

Opening the door with a slight squeaking noise, I quietly made my way to the kitchen and once I was there I crept over to the fridge and swung it open. The light from the fridge made me squint my eyes as I reached for the milk.

Grabbing the cereal that looked closest to chocolate, I poured myself a bowl and happily sat as I began to eat in the dark, even though the the room was still very clear.

"Can't sleep?"

I jumped at the noise and my spoon dropped onto the marble table startling me. Snapping my head around I looked for the intruder.

I came face to face with Duncan and he to, looked quite startled as he held his hands up in surrender.

"I didn't mean to scare you," he said a little amused and I smiled lightly, picking my spoon back up as he took a seat next to me.

"You can't sleep either?" I asked as he ran a hand through his hair nodding his head.

"Yeah. Head hurts like crazy," he said and I looked up at his face. The worst of the bruises were gone, but there were still faint outlines of the marks.

Not knowing what to say next, I finished up on my bowl and stood up. Putting my dish into the sink I turned around to leave.

"Goodnight. I hope you get some sleep," I said with a small smile which he returned.

"Doubt it," he mumbled hand at head as he rubbed his temples.

Leaving the kitchen I walked a little faster and made my way to my room. Closing the door behind me, I ran and jumped onto my bed closing my eyes as I sunk into my bed.

After awhile I felt myself slowly start to dose off.

Clank.

My eyes popped open and I froze still in the bed as my eyes scanned the room. The small noise had my heart pounding in my ears, in less than a second.

After a few moments, I had the courage to get off the bed and open my door. Walking down the quite hall I shuddered at the deadly silence as I made it to the large double doors.

Stepping outside my feet stepped onto the ground that was nearly and completely out of snow.

Pausing in my spot I looked around.

Nothing.

As I was about to turn away and go back inside I heard an unmistakable howl. It was very distant and if it weren't for my extra hearing I wouldn't have heard it.

Getting curious, I began to walk further away from the building trying to find the source of these noises. I started to run as the cold air hit my face.

The moon was beginning to fade away as the early rays of the sun began to come out. Stopping my run I hid behind a tree and looked around.

I waited for something but nothing came. Not giving up, I waited a little more and that's when I saw numerous figures walking towards the building.
