Chapter Twelve

Mariah's POV

Dart and I walk through a crack in the mountains, enter a huge caldera where the pack lives. There are many dens in the walls of the caldera, and a small lake to the right. There is one den that stands out tho. There is a entrance across the lake. Small columns exist for wolves to walk on over the water. The entrance is covered by huge vines and leaves. As we walks towards a den next to the largest we pass a group of pups playing around in the dirt. It reminds me off the old days at Jasper. Not like here in Colorado when I was relocated here as a small child. Dart nudges my arm and I look at him.
"Uhh. You'll be staying with me I guess." He talks nervously and points at the den, then looks at me.
"I'm sorry, but the leader wants me to watch you, to make sure nothing happens. I'm going to have to stay by your side." He says. I nod in agreement as being an Alpha I understand why they want to watch me. I walk into the den which is a decent size, and lay down in one of the corners. I lay my head down on my paws and then quickly pick it up.
"My paws!" I whisper to myself. They have turned completely white.

Devon's POV

I wake on the dust covered floor of the cave. I slowly get up on my four legs.
"Yes!" I yell "It worked!" I look at myself back in wolf form. I look around the cave and see, the silver box open on the floor. I feel a burning feeling on my chest. I look down to see a dark black tuff of fur has grown on my chest, and a stripe of black fur goes down my back.
I step back from the back slowly with my mouth open.
"The demon, it, bonded with me... But why? That gives the person all it's power and destroys it's consciousness." I see a black sigil around me I try to walk out of the circle of salt I made, and I can't.
"Wait... The salt was destroyed." I look around to see a dark figure in the shadows.
"Looks like you've caught on." I hear a feminine voice from the shadows.
"Don't try and use any of your demon powers on me, you wouldn't be able to, I put a key above you as you were passed out." She moves out of the shadows, but not enough to show her face.
"So who or what are you exactly... I saw you flying over the city and thought I'd pay a visit. Havn't seen a Demon turn itself into a wolf before."
She ends her sentence and I keep silent.
"Nothing to say huh?" She asks.
"You underestimate me, and I'm not what you'd think I am. Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me." I reply.
"If you'd just toss me me satchel I could show you." I say.
"And why should I trust you, your the one with a demon inside you?" She asks.
"Because I don't want to hurt you." I reply. The girl walks out of the dark, she appears to be in her early twenties and has short blonde hair.
I see the knife in her hand and the symbol carved on it. I remember the symbol, and the knife. I knew the girl it belonged to.
"Where did you get that knife." I ask.
"It was given to me by a friend, but that doesn't concern you, you're the one who is trapped, and the demon I'm sending back to hell." The girl steps towards me and raises the knife. I put out my right arm, using the power of elemental magic and shout a gust of wind from the salt pile. I use the same magic to quickly teleport behind her. I feel my magic drain as she breaks the crystal necklace from around my neck as it falls to the ground. My clothes materialize around me. The girl quickly turns around and pins me up the against the wall with her knife to my neck.
I look into her eyes and I see her expression change and she lowers the knife.
"Remember me?" I ask. She looks up at me, grabs me, and kisses me. I feel her kiss me passionately and I begin to kiss back. I put my arms around her and pull her against me. Our tongues pressing against each other. She lets go of me and the kiss and looks deeply into my hazel eyes, her eyes becoming watery.
"I thought I lost you forever... I always... Wanted to tell you how much you meant to me." She blushes and turns her head. I move my hand to the side of her head and through her hair and kiss her.
"I always loved you Hannah." I say with my arms around her, she gives me a kiss back.
"I love you too Max." She replies.
