**Unknown Location**

A young injured man is on the run in an abandoned factory. He holds his side as he runs through the building. He stops behind a wall, breathing deep as he looks at the wound. He hears voices as two hunters enter the room he just left. The man looks up. The two hunters enter the room, but the man is no where to be found. One hunter is holding a double barreled shotgun while the second has a crossbow. The Hunters search the room, but the man is on the roof, holding unto two metal bars, but a drop of blood seeps from his wound. One hunter looks back at the doorway and is about to leave when he notices the blood on the floor. He pretends not to notice, and turns for the doorway briefly before he turns back and aims at the roof, but the man is gone. The hunter turns again as the man grabs his shotgun, his eyes yellow and fangs extended. He pushes the hunter back against the wall, making him drop the shotgun. The man turns to the other hunter, dodging an arrow shot. The man approaches the hunter, kicking the crossbow from his hands then turns and kicks him in the chest. The first hunter makes it to his feet and pulls out a taser baton. He takes a few swings but the man dodges and gives the hunter a fist to the gut then an uppercut but the hunter kicks the man in the side where his wound is, knocking him down before following up with a kick in the face. The man rolls on the floor but he kicks the hunter from the ground, knocking him down as the man regains his feet. He approaches the hunter but is shocked in the back by the second hunter. He falls to his knees as both hunters pick up their weapons. The first Hunter asks where the rest of the pack is. The man says he will not tell them anything. The Hunter uses the taser on the man before he asks again. The man again, refuses to speak before he is shocked again.

**Sierra Forest**

Aurora and Riley have set up a camp in the woods. Abraham and Patrick arrive at the camp, both beaten and very sore after training. Riley thanks them all for joining her and looks up, telling them its almost time. She stands and starts to take her clothes off. Abraham and Patrick stop and watch but Aurora uses her power to make a towel float in the air, blocking their view, telling them both to keep their eyes off. Within a few minutes, a beautiful White Wolf emerges from behind the towel. Aurora sits down as Riley pads over to her, snuggling next to her. Abraham admits its a cute sight as he sits down and lays down. Aurora asks how they are progressing. Patrick admits its painful and exhausting but worth it. Aurora reminds the boys they do need to get moving. Abraham is surprised Aurora is the one who wants to get moving. Aurora retorts that Abraham wants to get to Barcelona. Patrick then asks if that is where Aurora is from, to which she confirms. Riley has settled into Aurora's lap but her ears twitch and she perks up. Aurora asks what it is. Abraham stands up and looks around as does Patrick. Abraham says he can't sense anything. Riley starts to growl. Patrick and Abraham form their swords and start to venture out. Aurora tells them not to but Patrick insists they won't go far and he wouldn't want to pick a fight with Riley right now. The two Kemiya's venture out. Aurora stays close to Riley. She looks to her left seeing a Black wolf appear. Riley turns to it, snarling before another one steps out from the brush, followed by two more, surrounding them both. Riley begins to back off, as Aurora notices. She waves her hand, making the ground light on fire in front of the wolves. She shouts to Abraham and Patrick as the wolves scatter but Riley also starts to panic. The Kemiya's return to the camp, seeing the fire. Aurora tries to calm Riley down but she knocks her over and makes a run for it. Aurora shouts after Riley before she puts the flames out. Abraham asks what happened as Aurora tells them they were surrounded by 4 wolves and she scared them off. Patricks tells her she also scared off Riley. Abraham takes off in a run, shouting after Riley

Riley runs quite fast before she stops and looks around. She then hears something and again turns to see the Black Wolf. She is showing immense aggression but the Black wolf isn't. The Wolf tries to approach Riley but she snarls. The other three Wolves appear but Riley does not back down. They all approach her, slowly but Riley jumps at the Black Wolf, rolling around a few times before they both fall down a steep hill leading into a cave. Two of the other wolves enter the cave while one of the others keeps running on. Patrick walks past a tree, seeing the tracks. He then sees a single set continuing on. The other two come from behind him as Patrick tells them Riley ran on ahead

The next morning, Riley wakes up. She coughs a few times then looks around, her vision clearing up, seeing herself in a cave. She is covered in a blanket. She grabs it and sees a man sitting on a rock. He greets her but Riley asks who he is. The man smiles and says his name is Mitch and he's a wolf, like her. He then asks if she remembers anything like the night before. She tells him she was camping with her friends, until he attacked her. Mitch laughs, reminding her she, attacked him. Riley asks what he wants. Mitch answers that he wants her to join his pack. Riley tells him she can't but Mitch asks why. Riley tells him she has friends she's travelling with. Mitch asks if a Witch and two Kemiya are really friends. She admits they are and Mitch isn't a friend, considering hey only met. Mitch concedes they aren't friends, but that they could be. Riley says she's leaving but Mitch warns her there is a hunter in town. One of his pack was killed and if the hunter finds her she could be next. Riley tells him she can handle herself and she has friends who can help her too. Mitch laughs, and asks if a friend would really cause a fire like last night. Riley takes a moment but she leaves the cave.

**Guest House**

Patrick, Aurora and Abraham arrive back at the inn. Abraham tells the others Riley will most likely come back to the inn at some point. Aurora sits down, blaming herself for Riley running off. Patrick tells her not to blame herself as she was thinking of hers and Riley's safety. Abraham further comforts her saying it wasn't the smartest move, but Riley will forgive her. Patrick then asks who the other wolves were. Abraham asks how he would know, but Aurora gets an idea. She searches around the inn for a map of the town and finds out. She lays the map out then thinks before she looks down and pulls a hair from her clothes. Patrick asks if its Riley's wolf hair to which Aurora admits it is. Aurora asks Abraham to make her a needle. He forms it from the air itself. Aurora threads the hair through the needle and holds it over the map. She makes a quick chant, then the needle lands on the map. All three look at it and Abraham notes it landed where the Inn is. All three turn around to see Riley there. Aurora rushes to Riley but Riley tells her to stop. Patrick asks where she was. Riley tells them she met some other wolves and was lead into their den. Aurora asks if she's alright but Riley says she is, but no thanks to her. Riley admonishes Aurora for making fire but Abraham tells her to stop, saying she was thinking of hers and Riley's safety. Aurora, upset heads to the window. Riley takes a moment, and looks at the two, saying there is a hunter in town and that the wolves want her to join them. Abraham asks if she decided to but Riley asks if she did, would she be there. Patrick admits its a good point and that the train will be leaving later that night. Riley looks at Aurora, saying she has things to pick up. Abraham insists they stay together but Riley says Abraham isn't her boss and pushes past him. Patrick tells Abraham to let her be. Abraham reminds him a Hunter is out there and heads out the door after Riley. He steps outside, but sees Riley gone. Patrick sees her gone as well. Abraham heads into town

Riley is walking the streets. She comes to a coffee shop and heads inside and stops in the line. She waits a few moments before she hears a voice, saying she doesn't look in a good mood. Riley tells him to leave her alone. Mitch says he can't. When Riley asks why, he tells her he wants a cup of coffee. Riley tells Mitch the only reason she isn't throwing him out the window is because it would cause a scene and there are hunters about. Mitch laughs slightly as Riley orders her coffee. Mitch asks how her friends took the news of more of her kind in town. Riley admits she's angry with Aurora. Mitch asks if that's the witch to which Riley admits she is. Mitch then asks how she can feel so at home with 3 people who don't understand her. Riley takes a moment before telling Mitch that they do. Mitch presses her, asking her if they change into a different creature once a month, but she tells him one of them saved her life and she owes him and it Mitch was a real wolf he'd understand that. Mitch admits he does, but tells her she doesn't belong with them, but should be amongst her own kind. Mitch asks her if it really sounds so bad. Riley admits it would be and takes her coffee and heads out the door. Mitch takes his coffee quickly and walks after Riley. Mitch tells Riley about how much freedom he gets to enjoy, being outdoors all the time. Riley stops and looks at him, telling him she's travelling the country and seeing things she's never seen before. Mitch questions why she is there. Riley tells him they have to get to Barcelona. Mitch asks if she likes the heat, but then Riley asks him the same question. Mitch admits they were chased out of their home and came to the forest to find a new home for the time being and that the pack is planning to head to Oslo. Riley admits it would be nice to go there. The two then keep walking before Mitch stops, sniffing the air. Riley asks what it is. Mitch tells her to run as he's hit with a dart in the neck. Riley is then hit as well as Mitch falls to the ground, Riley immediately after. The two hunters emerge from a van across the street. They first pick up Riley then Mitch who tries to fight back but is too groggy from the sedative. He stumbles out into an oncoming car, getting hit by it. The hunters quickly make a run for it with Riley throwing her into the van and drive off

Abraham is walking the streets, looking for Riley when he hears an ambulance approach, then pass him by. It makes a turn around the corner before he hears it stop. He quickly walks around the corner, seeing Mitch getting helped into the van. Abraham approaches, seeing Mitch getting loaded into the ambulance. He looks at the car, then at Mitch. He pushes past the crowd and makes it into the ambulance. The paramedic tells him to get out but Abraham forms a knife, telling him to sit down. He then looks to Mitch, asking where Riley is. The Paramedic tells him he can't speak but Abraham again tells him to shut up. Mitch tells Abraham, Hunters took Riley. He asks Mitch is he knows where but Mitch admits he doesn't. Abraham slides his knife down Mitch's cheek, causing it to burn, warning if Mitch is involved he'll kill him. He opens the back doors of the Ambulance and jumps out. He stands up, holding his side then calls Patrick and tells him Riley's been taken by Hunters and they need a locator spell.

**Unknown location**

Riley comes to. She tries to get up but she is chained down to a metal chair. She struggles but her head is pulled back. One of the hunters tells her not to bother with struggling. Riley asks who he is and what he wants. The Hunter tells her not to worry about who he is, but that he wants the other members of her pack. Riley tells him they aren't her pack but he asks if its just a coincidence she was talking with the Alpha when she was taken. She doesn't answer but the Hunter takes this as confirmation but Riley tells him he wanted her to join his pack. The hunter admits he believes her but that it doesn't matter as she is now bait and then turns on some fans. Riley looks around and smells the air, and starts to struggle. The hunter smiles, saying even if she breaks free from the chains, then Wolfsbane will slow her down

Abraham is standing outside of the abandoned Factory. He texts Patrick and Aurora, telling them he's arrived. Patrick texts back, telling him to wait but Abraham forms his sword and heads in. He tries to use his senses but remembers Hunters can't be sensed if they have amulets. He heads up to the front floor, searching each of the rooms. Patrick and Aurora arrive and quickly head up the steps while Abraham moves to the second floor. He stops, sensing someone inside. He kicks the door in, seeing the other three pack members there. He sees them chained up but then notices the smell in the air. He breaks the chains off as helps each of them up. Patrick and Aurora come around the corner. Patrick says he told Abraham to wait but Abraham reminds Patrick waiting isn't his strong suit. Abraham tells Patrick and Aurora to get the wolves out and he'll find Riley. Aurora tells Abraham he's staying but Abraham tells her she isn't. Aurora tells Abraham it's her fault Riley is here and she's going to fix her mistake. Abraham knows there is no time to argue and agrees. Patrick gets the wolves out but sees the building is on fire. Abraham stops as he smells the smoke but before he can say anything else he is tackled by the Hunter, they both fall through the floor and unto the first floor. Aurora shouts to Abraham. Abraham gets up, telling her to find Riley but the Hunter gets up as well and starts to hit Abraham. Aurora curses herself and runs on to find Riley. Patrick meanwhile calls for the fire department, the building really starting to light up, smoke starting to fill up some of the rooms. Aurora shouts for Riley as she opens another door. She sees Riley chained to the chair. Aurora rushes to her and tries to get the chains off but is forced to use her power. She pulls Riley from the chair, helping her up. Riley starts to come to as they head for the door but there is a fire further down the hallway. She looks around and takes Riley through another doorway

Meanwhile Abraham is getting battered around by the Hunter, considering his lack of hand to hand skills. Abraham is knocked down by a punch. Abraham reminds the Hunter they both will die if they don't leave now. The Hunter kicks Abraham in the face, saying he already has an escape plan. He kneels over Abraham and hits him again. The Hunter admits he was only after wolves but killing two Kemiya's, a witch and four wolves would be a great win. Abraham laughs telling him the Wolves and the other Kemiya are outside, and that the other wolf and witch will be too. Abraham then grabs the Hunter and rolls him over and then slams his hand unto the ground, using his power to break the floor, sending them both down to the ground floor but with the Hunter taking the fall and Abraham's weight on top of it. Abraham struggles to his feet and walks through a few more rooms then out the exit. Patrick rushes to him, asking where the girls are. Abraham tells him he doesn't know. He is about to turn back but Patrick stops him

Aurora finally makes it to a staircase and helps Riley down as the smoke is getting thicker. Aurora tries to use her power to clear the air but its a losing battle. Riley isn't too much better as not only is the smoke blinding her senses, but the fear of fire as well. They make it to the first floor, but a door bursts open. Riley dives down but Aurora is hit by the door knocking her out. Riley takes a moment and sees Aurora. She shouts to her but she covers up as the fire moves along the rooftop. She moves up against the wall, breathing deep and shaking. She looks around, seeing the staircase clear but then looks at Aurora. She closes her eyes then gets up and rushes to Aurora, lifting her up and over her shoulder. She crouches down and makes it to the staircase. She then steps out to one of the other exits before she collapses. Patrick spots the two further down. Aurora comes to slowly, looking up at Riley who is coughing. Aurora too start coughing but she manages to sit up, holding her head, telling Riley she saved her. Riley pats her shoulder, asking what are friends for. Both start laughing, then coughing as the other two come over

Aurora is in the ambulance getting oxygen as Riley comes to her. Aurora offers some to Riley but she declines. Aurora thanks Riley but Riley tells her it was nothing. Aurora disagrees, telling her she over came fear to save her life. Riley admits it, but tells Aurora she was more afraid of losing her friend. Aurora smiles and gives Riley a hug. The three wolves approach and ask Riley if she's ok and that if she'd consider joining them. Riley looks at Aurora and tells them she's grateful but she's found her pack. Patrick and Abraham watch, glad they are friends now. Patrick tells Abraham they never weren't friends. Riley just got upset. The other three wolves approach and thank Patrick and Abraham for helping them. All of them shake hands before the Wolves head off. Abraham looks at his watch, telling the others the train will be leaving soon. Abraham gives Patrick the keys as he runs off. Abraham rushes to tell the girls they need to go. The Paramedic tells them they aren't finished treating them. Abraham recognizes him from earlier and asks if he wants to be threatened again. Patrick pulls up with the car as they all climb in and speed off
