Dillan's POV

I smelt the sweet tang of spring. I felt the breeze that could only be felt on Sunrise. I was running threw the trees, in my cat form. I came to a sudden stop when saw her, her white fur and beautiful blue eyes. Red. She sat grooming her fur and I felt a pang in my heart. Snap out of it, Dillan! I thought, You made your choice.

Red looked behind me and I saw pure fear in her eyes. I whipped around to see what she was looking at, and I saw a wolf. Not just any wolf, Willow. I saw her black fur and amber eyes, the vision of beauty that enchanted me every night. She walked on light paws as she neared me. I turned to look at Red but she had vanished. I shrugged it off went to greet her.

Just as I met her muzzle she transformed, her black fur became made of shadows and her eyes turned red. She was no longer a she, and he let out a deep chuckle. She became the Wolf of Shadows. The Sunrise scenery transformed into a forest of shadows. I hissed at the wolf and it just seemed amused.

"I'm not afraid of you any more." I hissed to it, trying not to shake.

"Oh is that so, pussy cat?" He snarled. I forced myself not to lunge at him. I knew it would be pointless, for I've had this dream many times.  

"Yes." I hissed at him.

Another round of chuckles came from his lips. I wished he would stop, it would soon drive me mad. "Dillan, I know you. I can become what you fear most. What anyone fears most. I am The Wolf of Shadows."

"Bring it on." I hissed at him.

"Oh we don't have to play this game Dillan. Just let me free from your mind, and I'll never bug you again, or your pathetic island."

"You'd cause chaos threw out the world. I'd rather die than let you free."   

"Very well." he said. Suddenly I was plunged into darkness. There was nobody and nothing. I felt myself start to shake. I felt around in the darkness until I felt what seemed to be a door knob. I pulled it and was bathed in light. 

Red was in front of me again, just as she had been before. This time I rushed to her side, but her eyes passed threw me as if I were nothing. Her face was full of sadness and finally she turned to face me. She just shook her head and it hurt more than any words ever could.

I went to touch her muzzle but she vanished. I turned around to look to find Willow, eyes full of fear. A hooded figure suddenly appeared and slashed threw her throat with a knife I didn't even know they had. I went to run to Willow but the hooded figure was on my inhumanly fast. 

It pinned me to the ground, and as much as I struggled, I couldn't move. I looked at it's face trying to see it. Then I noticed it's features. It's braided hair, it's brown eyes. It was Red. She smiled a cruel smile then slashed my throat as she had done to Willow. I felt myself start to choke on blood, and suddenly I felt the icy pang of death.

I awoke with a start. I was laying on my couch, a fire burning low. I tried to shake off my dream, but I couldn't. I hated dying in dreams. It always gave me a feeling that I couldn't shake. I also knew that I wasn't supposed to die in dreams, that the body couldn't comprehend what it felt like. Well lets just say that my body had more experience than others.

I blinked off the sleep and saw Mae sleeping in the chair next to me, a book still opened in her lap. I glanced in the clock and t read 5:47. I wasn't sure if I wanted to get up or not. Finally I made my decision. I yanked the blanket off my body and touched the icy dark floor. 

I quickly grabbed a breakfast of a cherry poptart and then I slipped on my shoes and opened the door. A frosty breeze hit me and I forced myself not to shiver. I suddenly wondered what I was doing and if I should retreat to the warmth of my blanket. Before I could change my mind I ran into the wind and into the great unknown.

Kyra's POV

The sun was rising when my team reached Cloudcroft. All three of us were dressed in black and had visible knives. I suppose that might look a tad threatening, to the townsfolk, even though it warned off werecats in the woods. Emma and Emilie were silent and they awaited my command. 

Emilie was the tallest of the three of us. She had curly brown hair that was put up in a pony-tail. She also had on a black headband, and black clothes. Emma was close to her in height and had medium length wavy blond hair that was braided today, she also had blue eyes. I was different from them though I had super strait brown hair and powerful blue eyes. I was wearing my leather jacket and grey jeans. I certainly looked like a bad ass, that's for sure.

I breathed a silent breath as I saw the first lights off the town turn on. Slowly, but surly others followed, as the sleeping town awoke. Finally, I saw a familiar face. Mae walked up the hill, she was wearing jeans and a sweater. She had no viable weapon, although her boots could hide a knife.

"Kyra is that her?" Emma asked, saying my name more like Cry-ra than how it was supposed to be said. Emilie said it like that too. I wasn't sure how theses two got assigned to me, one of the best agents in the Order, much less got into the Order at all. I had given up on correcting them on my name, they always said I was wrong.

"Yep, Emma." I said to her, a twinge of annoyance in my voice. I still didn't like being called Cry-ra, but it was for the sake of the argument. 

"Are you sure?" Emilie asked, "She isn't dressed in black, like us. She has to be dressed in black to be cool right?" Emma nodded vigorously after that to show that she agreed with that statement.

"She's not really cool. She abandoned the Order, and she attacked another agent. I mean everyone knows it." I said, with no emotion in my voice. I hadn't really liked Mae while she was in the Order, much less after she abandoned it.

"Your just upset because she was better than you." muttered Emma. I almost punched her in the face but Mae was there and I didn't want to embarrass the Order.  Mae finally got to the top of the hill where we were located, and she looked me square in the eye.

"Kyra." She said, annoyance lacing her voice. I could tell that she didn't like being assigned me much more than I did her. 

"Mae." I replied coldly. I wasn't going to take shit from this girl, no matter who she thought she was. Or the fact that she could kill me in two seconds flat.

"Oh that's so roman tick!" Emma said. Mae shot her a confused glance and I just rolled my eyes. I had gotten used to their weird comments and words on the way over. 

"Yep, I ship it." Emilie added. This time I couldn't hold back. I was about to slap Emilie when a knife came flying past my hand and scratched her cheek. It left a thin trail of blood, that kept pouring down. Mae looked at her with cold, dead eyes.

"Don't you dare ship me with anyone ever again." Mae hissed. The hatred in her face was raw and true. I had wanted to do that a long time ago, but I had forced myself to hold back. "Or else the next one won't just be scratching your cheek." She added. I saw Emilie gulp and I did the same. Mae sure had changed, she was bolder, more fierce, more blood thirsty. It was something I had to respect, if anything. Emilie nodded vigorously, and Mae backed off, and grabbed her knife.

"Now to get on to business." I said, as if none of that ever happened. I was still trying to shake of the cold feeling of dread in my stomach.

"Isn't there supposed to be a fourth?" Mae asked, bluntly ignoring my question.

"Yes. They've been held up in New York due to weather. They'll be here as soon as they can." I answered.

"What are their names?" Mae asked.

"I'm Emma." Emma said.

"And I'm Emilie." Emilie said. Her cut had stopped bleeding, so it must have not been very deep. Her electric personality seemed to have returned as well.

"Enough introductions." I said. "Let's go!" Mae nodded and started down the hill. While we walked my mind drifted off. I remembered that there was a supposed werecat pride near here. The first one in nearly a century. And if everything went according to plan, this would be a dream come true.

AN:

Wassup guys! I'm so pleased to introduce my latest novel, The Werecat's Twin! Fun fact about this book, it was the original name for the first book but I changed it because I felt it was too blunt about what would happen. And lets face it, it was.

Another thing is, I will have a lot more about Dillan, Red, Kya, and Kyra. Maybe a chapter about June, and maybe one from Emma or Emilie's POV. So we are going into depth with a lot more characters, and discovering secrets even I didn't know.

Final paragraph, I just want to say that Emma and Emilie are based off of my friends, crazycatladymeow and watermelon20011997. Kyra is mj142020 and what Mae did is what I would have done long ago, if I was her, when ever me and mj142020 are shipped together. We're best friends! Deal with it!

Oh I do lied about the prior paragraph being the last on. So anyways I hope you enjoy this chapter because it took a while to write, and what not. Remember to vote and comment. And for the first time in forever: BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Picture is the Wolf of Shadows
