Stella's POV

The beast circled me, "Ha! You think that would have worked?"

"Um, kinda." I said, thinking about what went wrong. Lady Wind said it'd take a ton of power. Power I hadn't worked up to yet.

The werewolf lunged at me and I ducked out of the way. He tried a couple more times before he charged me and pinned me. I kicked its stomach hard and scrambled away. I needed something. This is Leo's mind so can I make something? I tried to summon a knife, but dodging and throwing punches really doesn't help with concentraction. I gave up and focused on the wolf monster.

It was still mad, but it was panting and not putting any weight on the leg I had kicked hard. I had some cuts. I was tired.

"You'll never free him." It growled.

"No, I'll win!" I jumped and landed on its back. I punched the werewolf's eye until I was thrown off. I needed my orb back, "Leo, hang on!"

I fought the wolf as best I could, but without the sword, I just couldn't do it. I was on the ground and I think my leg was broken somewhere. It was hard to breathe.

"Stella!" Leo shouted.

"I'm sorry. I need my sword and it's gone now. It's my fault." I tried to find his direction.

"I'm going to kill you, little witch." The wolf growled and limped toward me.

"No!" My brother screamed.

Then there was a bright green light and I felt something in my hand. The sword. It came back. Leo got it back. I stood shakily and raised the sword. Now the real fight could begin.
