Kate found herself on a hill overlooking the valley. The moon was full and bright She could smell the faint scent of blood in the air. She looked down into the valley and saw a huge battle that was taking place. Seeing this, she began her descent down the hill and into the valley. Her mind was racing with thoughts and questions, but as she got closer to the fight she put those thoughts behind her. She was ready to take back what was hers.

She came to a wolf, which looked like a enemy wolf. She pounced once she was close enough and only tumbled to the ground. The wolf seemed not to notice her. She regained her stance and pounced at her next target. Kate missed again only this time she noticed something strange. The wolf began to run away but Kate didn't follow it. She was still trying to figure out what was going on.

"What is this?" Kate thought as she looked around at the other wolves fighting, not even noticing her. She ran up to another wolf, which she saw out of the corner of her eye. She pounce this time paying close attention. The moment her paw touched the wolf she began to sail straight through it.

Kate landed on her feet as thoughts filled her mind. "Is this a dream? It feels so real." Kate began to run past all the fighting going on around her. She soon found herself in a clearing that had four wolves surrounding a very large one. The wolf had nothing but pitch black fur. Its eyes seemed to be filled with fire and it had an evil smirk that went across its face. As she continued to look she became more frightened by the image and was soon unable to look at it.

Kate moved her gaze from the evil beast to the four wolves confronting it. The four look familiar but she couldn't make them out. She got closer and soon realized who they were which strut her with fear.

"No....No NO NO." She started to run towards them as they began to pounce onto the dark wolf. As soon as they did the dark wolf tossed them all to the ground the wolf continued to barrage the helpless wolves with horrible deathly attacks with no sign of stopping.

"Please stop! Not them. Dear god not them!" Kate shouted as tears filled her eyes. Three of the wolves were thrown to the ground like trash, she stared at them as they lay dead. Then she turned her attention to one final wolf that was left to confront the evil beast. Kate knew who this unlucky wolf was by his orangish fur and the scar on his front left arm. The dark wolf took this one by the neck and pinned it to the ground and began to tear and slash at it. "NO! LEAVE HIIM ALONE! ANDERS!!!!"

Kate woke up furiously and with Humphrey looking at her with concern.

"Kate, what's wrong?"

"Where is Anders!?" Before he could answer Kate looked and saw her son sleeping behind humphrey. Kate relaxed a little and took a sigh of relief.

"Are you okay Kate?"

"I...I don't want to talk about it." She said as she walked back to where they were sleeping.

"Are you sure? You seem pretty shook up about it." Kate whipped around and looked Humphrey in his eye. "I said I don't want to talk about it!" Knowing that he wasn't going to get anything out of her Humphrey decided to let it go for now. Right now she needed to be comforted. Humphrey then nuzzled her shoulder and laid down beside her.

"Ok, but when you feel like talking about it...I'm here."

"Thanks." She nuzzled him back.

"I love you Kate."

"I love you too Humphrey."

Humphrey soon went to sleep but Kate couldn't. The images of the nightmare continued to nag at her thoughts. She looked over at Anders who was asleep but had an annoyed look on his face. "He'll be fine Kate. He is the best you've trained. It was only a dream so pull yourself together." Kate felt Humphrey's breath along her neck. This soothed her and made her fall asleep. "He'll be fine." She thought to herself, as she was able to fall into a full slumber.
