I opened my eyes, and started to panic as I felt myself starting to come back down. The shifting process wasn’t complete, and although I could feel myself shifting a little more with each moment, I was worried that Michael would kill me before I could shift fully.

However, my eyes widened as I saw Edrick standing in the mist behind Michael.

“Edrick!” I called, feeling my heart lift at the sight of him. He came for me after all…

His glowing silver eyes met mine for the briefest of moments.

“Hold on,” he said, his voice reverberating in my skull. “I’ll buy you some time.”

Suddenly, as I came back down, Michael lurched forward with the knife in his hand. I shrieked as I was practically touching the ground now, and held my hands up in self defense. But Edrick was too fast, and dashed forward.

I watched in horror as Edrick grabbed Michael by the back of his shirt collar and threw him backwards, putting himself between us. He growled and raised his hackles as he stalked closer to Michael, who was scrambling to his feet.

Michael shifted next into a large, gray wolf with a menacing appearance. I gasped at the sight of him; he was even bigger than Edrick, somehow.

“Edrick, no—” I said, reaching out to touch Edrick’s fur. “It’s too dangerous. Let’s just run away.”

But Edrick didn’t seem to be listening. I could tell that his sights were set on taking down his father.

The two wolves faced each other, snarling and pacing around in a circle. I wondered if they were saying something to each other telepathically, but I couldn’t be sure.
