Chapter Two
Wolfie's PoV
I was currently curled in the big arm chair in front of the fire when I hear a commotion outside. I set the book aside and stand up. I walk towards the door and open it to find a panic stricken Tegan with no hook up and no Aven.
I quickly rush to the horse and begin to calm her.
Placing soothing hands on her I stroke her neck. "Shhh it's okay Tegan. Its okay. You're safe."
Once she's calm she looks to the forest and back to me. Almost as if telling me something happened to Aven.
"What is it girl? Where's Aven?" I ask she nods her head to the forest and I nod. "Let me grab a few things."
Rushing back into the house I change out of the blue skirt I had been and slip into a pair of black skinny jeans. I tuck my trust dagger into the pocket and sling my black hooded cloak on. I lock the house up and return to Tegan.
Hoping on her back I lead her into the forest to where she lost Aven. She's hesitant at first but with a little coaxing from me she goes on.
After half an hour of traveling we find ourselves in front of an open rusty wrought iron gate.
Tegan refuses to go in so I slip off her back and tie her to a post. I pet her nose and assure her ill be right back.
I slowly make my way up the path. I knock gently on the front door and it slowly creeks open.
Stepping inside I look around.
"Hello? Aven? Anyone?" I call. I can barely see anything. Through the dimly lit corridor I find a staircse and begin to climb it my footsteps light on the dark marble.
I reach the top of the staircase and find myself at a closed wooden door with a gold doorknob. I slowly reach out and turn it. The door swings open revealing a dungeon like room with cells.
"W-who goes there?" the shakey voice of my brother calls out weakly.
I rush towards it andkneel in front of the barred door.
"Aven!" I breathe. Removing the hood from my head.
His face appears in the window. "Wolfie! How did you find me?" he asks.
"Tegan came home and she was distraught. It took a bit of coaxing but she eventually brought me here. What happened? Why are you in a cage?"
"You need to get out of here Wolfie! The beast will come back! Please save yourself!" he whispers and coughs.
"What are you talking about I'm not leaving without you." I say stubbornly.
"Please Wolfie!" he pleads. "If he finds you hre he wi-"
"What are you doing here?" a voice growls behind me and Aven's face pales.
Turning around I come face to torso with a tall spotted figure. Looking up my light Brown gaze is met with an icy grey one.
"Answer me! What are you doing here!" it growls becoming angrier.
"Pl-please let my brother free!" I say finding my voice.
"No. He tresspassed somewhere he didn't belong. He's being punished." the beast before me grunts.
"Can't you see he's sick?" I cry at the monster.
"Don't care." he snarls showing sharp teeth. "Now leave."
"No. Let my brother go. I'll take his place!" I say boldy.
"Wolfie no!" Aven says behind me.
"You are willing to take his place?" the beast questions.
"Yes." I say firmly.
"No!" Aven says.
"Vey well." the beast says. I move aside and he unlocks the dungeon door.
I rush in and take my cloak off leaving me in my jeans and a blue tank top. I wrap the cloak around Aven's shivering figure.
"Wolfie. You don't have to do this!" he says looking into my eyes.
"Yes I do. Now go before he gets angry." I say giving him a tight hug.
He quickly rushes out of the cell and past the beast. Out of the small window I see him rush down the path to Tegan and ride off.
As I watch I hear a quiet conversation behind me. But I could of sworn there was just the beast.
The beast clears his throat. "I'll.. Uh... Show you to your room then...."
"Huh?" I say looking at him.
"Do you want to stay in here?" he shouts. I quickly shake my head. "Then follow me."
I quickly Stand up and follow him. In his hands I see a handlebars with what appears to be a face on it.
We walk down a very dimly lit hall and he stops at a door and opens it. Revealing a dark room with a queen sized bed, a desk and a wardrobe.
"Invite her to dinner Tra-guy." a childish voice whispers. I look around and find no one.
I step into the room and look around. "Dinner is at 7:30. Be there." the beast growls.
Turning to face him with a glare. "No." and with that I slam the door. He roars on the other side and he stomps away.
Sighing I walk to the bed and fall back on it. I close my eyes.
"That wasn't very bright of you ya know..." a feminine voice says.
I quickly sit up and look around the room. "Wh-who's there?"
"It's just me!" upon the desk sits a small white teapot with Orange and green designs says with a smile.
I scream. Teapots with faves is not normal.
"Relax. I'm not gonna hurt you. I'm Nami!" the teapot says.
"I'm Wolfie..." I say.
"Nice to meet you. Now how about some tea while we decide what you're going to wear." a small cup with a blue handle and big bright eyes hops forward.
Nami pours the Brown liquid into the cup and the cup giggles.
"Hehe. That tickles Nami-Chan!" it says in a girly voice.
"Alright Chopper-San. Bring the tea over but be careful!" she says.
I stand up and walk to the table. Chopper the cup hops over and I delicately pick it up. I sniff the liquid and take a small sip.
"Now for your outfit for dinner. I was thinking blue." Nami says as the doors to the wardrobe swing open.
"I'm not going to dinner." I say firmly. "I will not be in the company on that brute any longer than I have to."
"Now I know Law can be quite brash at times but trust me deep down he does care." Nami says.
"Yeah! He's a doctor like I am. Or was until we were cursed." Chopper chimes in.
"Doesn't matter. I'm not going. And that's final." I say setting him down and going back to the bed.
"Oh dear. He won't like that." I hear Nami mutter.

Law's PoV
I pave in front of the fireplace. The Zoro the clock reads 7:45. She should of been down here by Now.
I growl and Luffy just laughs. "If you're so worried as yo why she's late why not just go get her?"
"I will." I grunt.
I begin the trek to her room with Zoro and Luffy behind me.
I pound on her door. A soft 'go away' sounds from inside.
"Wolfie-ya" I begin to growl when a look from Zoro stops me. He mouths 'be kind'.
I take a deep breath and begin again. "Wolfie-ya will you please join me for dinner?"
"No." she says.
I growl under my breath. "You're being unreasonable. Please come to dinner."
Again she refuses. I begin to lose my temper.
"Then starve!" I growl and storm away if she wanted to be a brat and pout she could stay in there forever.
I head to the west wing and sit in front of the flower encased in a clause vase. I watch as another petal falls.
