----------
Darkness clouded the sky's. Torches lit the Werewolves village. A small circle of people, around 10, had gathered around a large Alter, there was a chalice in the Alter, filled with dark red blood. All these people were dressed the Wolf armor, the armor Jackson and Josh had worn before. Josh soon arrived near the circle off people. He stood in between two of them. His mother, Catherine, the strongest warrior of the village, he could just make out her long blonde hair. And his farther, Marcus, one of the wisest of the village, he couldn't make out his noraml long brown hair. "Good luck son" His dad said quietly. His mother had no words for him. Josh just started walking to the Alter. And stood near the cup, one of the members of the circle walking over. "Young Josh, you step to this Alter for what Reason?" She said aloud.
"I have come to obtain power. Power of ten men. Power to battle. Power to free my fellow people. I wish to obtain the power of that of a Werewolf" Josh said steadily.
"And this is what you will achieve. You understand the differences of each different Werewolf?" She asked.
"Yes. Brown is savage, uncontrolled power. Grey is strength, that of ten men. Black is speed, that of those beyond us. Snow is power, controlled power. And Golden, power bound to the Lord of hunt himself, free yet bound power." Josh stepped up the Alter.
"Then drink from the Alter! The blood of the Beast! Let it decide your fate!" She raised her voice. He took the chalice. Slowly bringing it to his lips, sipping but a small amount of blood. He placed the chalice down.

Suddenly it hit him. Pain. He clutched his heart and fell to his hands and knees. He grunted in pain, soon they turned to grows of anger. He grew in size slowly, his bones and muscles building up. His armor started to bound to his skin and slowly vanished. His skin started to grow white fur, his nose lengthening, his ears too. The beast was consuming him. His mother smiled, already seeing it was Snow Wolf transformation. After a short while, Josh stood up. Only it wasn't him. A large seven foot tall, white fured Werewolf stood in his place. Grows coming from him as his pain faded. His eyes turned pure black and he raised his head. With a loud and long howl, he announced his presence as a Snow Werewolf. Standing with slight hunch. His teeth gritted. He looked around, his father smiled and his mother too. But for a different reason he knew. She was more proud to show off the fact her son was a Snow. But that wasn't his concern...

A scream came from the forest. The circle and Josh looked in the direction of the scream. Josh knew who it was...It was Jessica. Which meant Jackson and Katie too. He poised himself on all fours. With great speed he set off. He knew the risks, but knew what he'd lose if he didn't take them. Yet no one stopped him. So he kept running.

Meanwhile, Jackson had stakes upon his Grey Werewolf form. Katie had a red ball of energy in her hand, blood magic, and he sliver longsword in the other. And Jessica was hiding behind the two. They were up against four Brown Werewolves. Jackson was currently taking on three of them. His claws sharpe and his swings and grapples powerful. And being another two foot taller than other Werewolves was a bonus. However, he had taken wounds, deep ones along his chest and arms. He'd given as good as he got however, leaving the others in the same sort of condition. One ran for him on all fours. He scratched it's head with a powerful downward swipe. It's face servery wounded, it fell, beaten and dying. Katie was losing her fight however. She pushed her left hand forward, a dark red ball of blood magic was sent flying towards the one she was fighting. However it hit it dead on, doing near to nothing. And only healed a small cut on her cheek. She raised her sword as it approached, but back away. Jackson looked over, but got pinned by a Werewolf as he looked. Katie was defenceless. Jessica just stared in horror. But none knew Josh was near by, still in beast form.. He came out from behind some bushes on Katie's right. Katie looked over and just watched, remembering what Jackson and Josh had told her before, about the colour of Werewolves. Josh pounced onto the unsuspecting Werewolf. Once he had pinned it to the floor, he growled, opening his mouth and taking a large bit out of the other Werewolf's neck. It howled in pain, before falling silent. Other last two Werewolves looked over at Josh, slowly crawling over. Jackson deformed and went back to his human form. Katie and Jessica ran over, kneeling beside him. "Are you okay?" Katie asked.
"Yeah, I'll heal up soon" Jackson said, sitting up.
"Who is that?" Jessica asked, referring to newly formed Werewolf Josh.
"Judging by the scent...I'm pretty sure it's Josh" Jackson told them.
"How can you tell?" Katie asked.
"Well it smells like Josh...That's weird when I say it out loud. And I think I can smell you too...Sooo unless you go aro-" Jackson laughed until he got smacked around the face.

Josh was in a face off with the other Werewolves. But soon they rushed him. He met the challenge. He raised his arms. But while he was exposed, one of the Werewolves scratched him in the chest. A holw of pain was let off from Josh. But he grabbed the Werewolf, digging his claws into its sides. He raised him high in the sky. One after the other he stabbed his claws into its chest. Finally he very slowly started to rip him in two. The Werwolf's body breaking apart. Josh threw the upper and lower body parts aside and looked over the next one. Who back off in fear. But Josh pounced forward. Jackson, Katie and Jessica watched as Josh slashed, bit and ripped the Werewolf apart. Josh looked at them, blood stained his White fur and teeth. Jackson knew that look...Bloodlust. He took Katie's sword from her sheath, pointing it at Josh as he stood up. "Josh! Stay there!"
Josh slowly walked forward. "What's wrong with him?" Katie asked backing off. Only to get pounced onto. She screamed looking up at the golden Werewolf above her. Jessica ran over, only to get knocked back by the Werwolf.
Jackson looked back and then at Josh again. "Josh, your mother is going to kill Her!  Break the wall of Bloodlust and save her you idiot!" Josh hesitated and looked over at Katie. Catherine leaned down and sniffed her. She flinched back as she smelt Josh's scent, unsure as what to think. In this moment Katie shot a blood magic ball at her, knocking her back slightly. Catherine growled. Towering above Katie. Katie shut her eyes, waiting...

She opened her eyes, feeling a heat above her. She looked to see a furry White Werewolf chest above her. Josh had placed himself above her. Demonstrating his protection and role to her to his mother. Catherine couldn't think. She looked around...Growling, soon getting onto all fours and running at Josh. Josh growled and went to stand. But his mother merely jumped over him all day kept running. Katie got out from under Josh. They looked at one another. Slowly he went down in size. Turning human slowly. His armor still intact. But his mind was blank. He fell backwards, backing out completely. Jackson came over. "You two need to leave...We may be gone a while"
Katie looked down at Josh, slowly tearing up. He started to walk away but kept looking back. Jessica put her arm around Katie. "It'll be okay...I promise" Katie nodded but didn't believe a word of it. Gods know what would come.
