( HEHE)
Damian then found himself in a new place, it was night time in the forest. His face was dry from tears, it felt so real to him. He walked through the forest and reached a lake. The moon was full and high in the sky. He knelt down in front of the water, staring at his reflection. "What do you see?" The embodiment spoke. Damian froze, not expecting to hear from the embodiment " I see myself." He replied. The reflection quickly changed from the movement of the water. It now showed Damian, as a half-werewolf, his eyes were gold, fangs poked out of his mouth and he had sideburns. Damian's eyes widened," Is that...me?" He asked, frightened. " Yes." the embodiment replied. " Damian. You are no longer human, you need to get it through your head. This is what you've become." Damian hit the water with his hand," I'm not a monster!" He shouted angrily, getting up to his feet. But he didn't hear the voice of the embodiment anymore. Instead, something rose from the water, it was Damian as a child, covered in blood. Damian took a step back, then another as his younger-self came closer to Damian.
" I'm not a monster" it mocked, "I'm not a monster, I'm not a monster" it repeated. Damian tripped over a root sticking out of the ground," No.. Stop!" He shouted as his younger self turned into a huge werewolf. But in the dark, Damain heard Tara speaking to him. The werewolf turned its head toward the direction of Tara's voice. Damian's eyes widened and got to his feet, taking off and following the direction of the voice. The werewolf quickly chased after Damian, begging him to come back as Tara words kept repeating. Damian stretched out his hand as he ran, trying to reach out to the outside world.

Judith made faces at Alex, bringing up a finger up to her mouth," Sh" she said. She then smiled at Leo," Yes I am" she said excitedly, faking her happy mood.
(OMG. That was some beautiful writing. ;-; )
Tara squeezed Damian's hand a little tighter. "I'm really sorry," she said. "I should've come to look for you - if I had, none of this would've ever have happened. I could've protected you. I'm so sorry... Please, wake up. Please, Damian."
Her voice was completely broken. Usually, she was strong and capable, but lately things had been different. She had let her emotions take over a little more - something she hated to do. She hated it, she hated letting her emotions get in the way - they always put her friends' lives in danger.
She slid onto the floor beside Damian's bed, sobbing quietly to herself, but never letting go of his hand.

Alex gritted his teeth. He wanted to talk with Leo about important matters, not watch him make polite conversation with Judith. "Look, you two can get to know each other another day. But, I came here to talk about more important things."
Leo ignored Judith's false excitement. He stared at Alexander with a blank expression as he sat back on his chair. "Hm," Leo nodded slightly, "you did indeed come to talk about the matters at hand."
He paused for a moment, glanced at Judith, then turned to face Alex. "It's actually a good thing that you're here, Judith. I have things to discuss with the both of you. And I suppose that now is as good a time as any."
Leo sat up straight and folded his arms, then furrowed his brow, as if he was trying to remember everything he needed to tell the pair. "I suppose I should start with the most important thing; something, unbeknownst to myself, has disrupted everything. Everything literally meaning everything."
Leo took a deep breath in. His expression shifted, clearly showing pain. "My home - the home of all celestials - has been split apart by terror and confusion. The homes of many others are almost exactly the same as my own. And none of us have any idea as to what is causing this. That's why I've come here; I need your help."

Eaton had moved to the next nail, he paused as he listened to Ash's voice. "If you tell me where to find Nora Hallwood, I'll release you. Simple as that. " He said with conviction. E took the cutters and set them down. "Well?" Eaton asked.
Ash was so tempted to just tell Eaton, but he knew he shouldn't. Nora and Amber were friends, if not family. He couldn't just give them up, he just had to hope they'd find him before he was killed lr worse. He took a deep breath in, preparing himself for whatever came next, before staring at Eaton. "No."
