(I know that I should've posted this last chapter but, I couldn't get the pic like I wanted it well any way the bottom guy is the younger brother the older guy is the guy on the top. And yes their not suppose to look to alike for a reason you'll find out soon enough)

CHARLIE'S P.O.V

After Crystal, Sliver, and Magen ran off we've been searching for them. Rosa keeps warning us about how we're going into hunter territory. It's late at night at the moment so there out more than usual.

"Be careful guys I heard rumors that the hunters kill any one on their land."
She whispers softly

She's been quiet since Daniel betrayal she hasn't smile or talk much. We all worry for her but, there's nothing we can do only Magen and Crystal could help with something like this.

Crystal...

The look she gave me filled with betrayal. I don't know what happen all I know is she ran and after fighting for a while the three left after her. I wonder have they found her yet?

"Guys look at that!"
Tristan points at a wolf

It's a white wolf it's eyes a very light blue. She looks over at us her eyes widening at the look of us. Probably think were the hunters or whatever they are. She looks around but, jog at us still keeping her distance though.

"Hello...Um are you friends of the great Crystal?"
She ask eyeing mostly

"You know Crystal?!"
I asked wanting more information

"Yes she is staying with my pack. You can come with me to see her it isn't safe at this time."

I nod as he does a very light howl but, people from not that far could hear.
A chocolate brown wolf and a Carmel one comes into view seeing us. Yuki nods to them and crouches down.

"You must get on us now there are hunters nearby."
She whispers

We nod and Rosa jumps on her, while I get on the Chocolate color one, and Jon and Tristan had to share the Carmel one. They sprung off in a hurry quickly going into a deep part of the forest, then running behind a waterfall. We then enter a place wig many little caves, there were little pups playing happily, and older wolves watching them. We got off the wolves and look around seeing many wolves string at us.

"I'm gonna get you Nobuo!"
A sweet elegant voice says

I turn to see Crystal and a little brown wolf wrestling. I freeze in the spot seeing her beauty like always.
She giggled softly as the wolf licks her face and sits by her side.

"C-Crystal?"
I ask softly

Her head snaps to face me her eyes widen. She was shocked I could tell I slowly walk over to her. She stood up facing me tears slowly arriving in her eyes. I went close to her only inches apart from her gorgeous face.

"C-Charlie?"
She asked sounding scared

"Crystal I so glad your ok."
I say pulling her into a hug

She hugs me back softly, I press my lips to her but, she immediately pulls back.

"Crystal?"

She pulls her self out of my grip looking at me in shock. She shakes her head and runs in some random direction.

"Sorry about that Charlie."
I hear a familiar voice say

I turn to see Magen.

"What happened to her? What did I do wrong?"
I ask worried of her

"It's not you she's kinda confused about what whatever his name is said about you and the others."

"What did he say?"

"I'm not sure all I know is they tried messing me up as well but, I haven't given up on your guys."
She says smiling

"MAGEN!"

She turns and is startled by Jon pulling her into his arms.

"MAGEN ARE YOU OK?! ARE YOU HURT?!"
He asked frantically

"I'm fine Jon it's good to see you though!"
She smiles hugging him back

"WHY DID YOU RUN AWAY?! DID SOMEONE HURT YOU WHILE I WAS GONE?! I SWEAR IF-"
He was shut up by Magen pressing her lips to his

I turn to face a different direction but, make eye contact with a a white haired boy. He had a white uniform weird that's for snow or ice whatever you wanna call it. He glares at me not happy to see me at all. I raise a brow at this and feel some one nudge my arm.

"Hey sliver how have you been?"
I ask hugging the sliver wolf

"I'm fine but, you should talk to Crystal."
He whispers

"I would but, Im not sure where she went."
I say sheepishly

"This way."
He says tugging my shirt

I follow the wolf to I think a den. I could soft whimpering in the back of it.
I slowly approached to see Crystal hugging her knees crying softly.
I dashed to her side seeing her upset kills me.

"Crystal what's wrong?!"

She flinched as she sees me and attempts to get away. I grab her wrist making her look at me.

"Crystal please tell me."
I ask sounding hurt

She sits back down looking me in the eye.

"Do....Do you love Morgan?"

My eyes widen at this.

"HELL NO WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT?!"
I yell

She flinched again making me soften up.

"I'm sorry please tell me why they told you."

She looks at me but, turns her head.

"They said that you play with all the girls hearts and that your not playing with me."

"What and you believe them?"
I asked shocked

"No not really but....Im still not over our argument...."
She says still avoiding my gaze

I pull her into a hug not willing to let her escape.

"Crystal please don't think like that...Knowing that your upset is killing me...."

"Charlie?"

"Hm?"

"Are you hiding something from me?"

I stay silent not wanting her to know I know about the Kusa.

"Please tell me what you know..."

I sigh

"Do you know about The Kusa?"
I ask

She looks up at me and nods making my eyes widen.

"Y-You do?"

"Yes some of my memory's came back."
She says softy

"That's great!"

"Well I'm confused on something though."

"And what's that?"

"In the past it said I was meant to have green hair and green eyes...How come I have white and blue highlights?"

I stay silent thinking hard. If she meant to have green hair how come she doesn't? How come she has white hair?
How come she was born with natural highlights? Wait why do I care for her hair she's beautiful the way she is.

"I'm not sure but, it doesn't matter whatever you look like you'll always be beautiful and we will always love you especially me."
I say making her look into my dark brown eyes

She slowly leans in and I return the favor. We were inches apart

"Am I interrupting something?"
A irritated voice says

We both look up to see the guy from earlier. Crystal cheeks heat up and I just scowl.

"Yeah you did."
I growl

"No no you didn't is there something you need Daisuke?"
She ask trying to hide we blush

What's her problem? She never mind kissing me in from of people well we didn't do it a lot but still.

"Chief wanted to tell you about wolf protectors."
He says eyeing me

"Wolf protectors?"
I ask

"We're about to found out what they are so let's go!"
She says pulling me

She seemed rushed to get out the cave with me. I wonder why?

"Follow me."
The guy called Daisuke says

We follow to the farthest den.
Where a giant wolf that was the same fur color as Sliver but more of a dull color was waiting.

"Hello Crystal and..."

"Charlie."
I say

"Hello Crystal and Charlie the others are waiting inside."
The wolf says walking in the giant den

CRYSTAL P.O.V

I walk into the den where there was people sitting around the fire. Chief motioned us to sit down so I sat next to Charlie and Magen. Sadly I was across from Daisuke who was giving Charlie death glares. One of the men of the group notice me but, kept his hood down it sent chills down my spine.

"We know you want to know about us and I shall tell you."
Says the man with the hood

He stands up staring at us but, mostly at me. I then felt Sliver behind me but, ignored the poor wolf to focus on what was going on.

"Well along time ago another group I wolves who were jealous of this pack of wolves attacked them. They're were some people who decided to protect this pack of wolves. We did so and saved as many as we could the Chief was divested to lose his son which you call Sliver."

I look at Sliver seeing sorrow in his eyes. I hug my little puppy holding him close to me he laid himself down placing his head on my lap for me to pet him. I smile and begin to pet the Sliver wolf.

"But a young wolf that was bleeding to death her name was lily."

I flinched at this making every one stare at me.

"L-Lily is d-dead?"
I stutter feeling tears in my eyes

A lump went to my throat feeling saddens seek through me. My favorite pup, my best friend, my sister....is gone...shes dead.

"Yes but, she told us Sliver is in good hands a familiar person was going to take care of him."

"How would she know that?"
I ask

"Because she can see the pup in your arms she remembered you soon as she laid her eyes on you."
He says smiling even under his hood I could see he was smiling

I smile at the comment. I love Lilly even if I don't remember her completely I still know I love her.
I felt Charlie pull me close sensing my sadness which made Daisuke glare harden.

"Thank you for telling me continue telling us."

"Well we then heard that hunters began trying to kill the wolves. They succeed with some so we found a new place where they could stay. We made this place perfect for them and we became wolf protectors. We protect these wolves with our lives since they connect to the spirit world as well."

"Spirit world?"
Rosa ask

"The spirit world holds good spirits and dark spirits and the spirits live in our body giving is the elements."
I replay

Magen nodded in agreement since mom told her the tales as well.

"Yes I understand that but, how is the wolves connected to that?"
Jon ask

"Well the wolves I'm not sure they can see the spirits and see them. But you have to be born a wolf protector and have a natural connection with them. Like you and Sliver."
He says gesturing to me

I kept my head down thinking about my parents they were with the pack....

"Crystal your parents also had a natural connection with wolves as well."
The chef says nodding at me

I turn my head staring down at Sliver. He was right but, why am I so special?

Wait thinking about elements and spirits I haven't heard from Kusa in a while.

-that's because I don't feel like talking kid-

I smile internally happy to hear from the spirit. I'm not sure why but, I think of the spirit as family.

-Well kid that may be a mistake-

'STOP CALLING ME KID!!'
I yell internally

"So Crystal is so special because?"
Tristan ask

"Because she has two spirits in her."
The chief says

Every one but, me and the wolf protectors and fellow wolves gasp. I knew the chief must've told Sliver so I'm not surprised.

"How is that possible?"
Rosa ask

"Because one is a dark spirit the other a light spirit they balance each other."
I mutter loud enough for the others to barely hear

"Dark spirit?"
Magen whispers sounding mad

I knit my eye brows thinking.

"Crystal why didn't you tell us about this?"
Charlie ask

"I barley found out my self but, you knew Charlie."
I sigh angrily

"I only knew about Kusa being a spirit nothing about it being dark or having two spirits with in you."
He says

"Well how long ago did you found out?!"
My sister snaps

"When earlier today."
I whisper

"WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME THEN?!"
She yells

"Why did you want to know that I could be corrupted by a dark spirit?!"
I snap back

"BECAUSE I CARE FOR YOU!!"

"ITS NOT MY FAULT THAT KUSA THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO GO IN MY BODY!!"
I yell

Magen sighs angrily and stomps out of the den dashing off somewhere else.

"Maybe you all should get some rest."
The chief says while Jon runs after Magen

"Yes good idea I'll tell you your sleeping arrangements."
The hooded man says

I glance some one behind the man. It was a woman wearing a hat it hid her most of her face. I could see her hair though it was whitish maybe it was Daisuke mom? No the white color is different I don't get it.

I then felt dizzy getting up slumping into Charlie arms.

"Are you ok?"
He ask

"N-No I don't feel good...."
I say but, my voice was so light it was barley heard

-DAMN YOU SPIRIT CUT IT OUT LET ME HAVE CONTROL!!-
I hear Kusa yell making me grab my head with one hand

"Kusa stop yelling..."
I mutter the feeling getting worse

-I WILL HAVE CONTROL!!-
He yells

I then close my eyes in pain. I then felt my body going numb and the burning sensation in my chest. I then feel the cold ground and hear people yelling my name.

"Damn it Kusa..."
I mutter blacking out
