Ebony sighed as Ivan pulled her closer and enjoyed his chest against her body. He was her protection and understanding. The only thing that kept her bolted to the earth and not become a horrible bloodthirsty beast all the time... Ebony stroked Apollo lovingly and kissed her hand and then touched his head. It was her secret little sign she used when she was lost for words because she was so happy and it made Apollo rub his head against her leg returning the love. Ebony kissed Ivan's cheek and smiled. I have a family... A true and loving family....

Ivan smiled as she kissed his cheek, everything was almost perfect. He just had to do one more thing before it was perfect. But he first had to get one thing before he could do that one thing. He kissed her head and smiled happly. "you know you have to be the most beatuifull girl on the planet." he whispered into her ear and nibbled on it gently.

Ebony smiled at his words and wrapped her arms around his arm. "That may be but it comes at a price. I can kick your ass at fighting." she said and smiled her fangs glinting in the sunlight. "And You're the most perfect man on this earth, who's smile can make any heart melt, and you have the most understanding heart in the world." Ebony said and noticed the sunset and got an idea. "follow me I have to show you something!" she said excitedly and pulled Ivan's hand and broke into a run. She weaved in and out of the trees like a graceful deer and the forest began to thin. All of a sudden it dissapeared and Ebony slowed to a stop at the edge of a cliff. water stretched as far as the eye could see and it looked like the water was on fire in the sunset. "isn't it beautiful?"

Ivan smiled and wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to him. "it is amazing but not as amazing as you." he said as he looked into her eyes. This seemed like something out of a fairytale and he kissed her on the forhead, then the nose then on her lips very passionatly.

Ebony smiled as Ivan kissed him and laughed at he twirled her around by her waist. This was her fairytale dream come true. She kissed him passionately and wrapped her legs around his waist. She bit his lip gently and herd a whimper. she looked up shocked and saw a vampire pinning Apollo to the ground with his boot. Apollo was bleeding and Ebony's throat caught. "Let him go," she growled at the vampire. Fear flickered across her face as the man put more pressure on Apollo's ribs.

Ivan looked at the man and felt his lips pull back in a snarle. "get away from him or else you will die." he said as he set Ebony down and felt claws grow. He was going to attack him if he didn't back away from Apollo soon. He felt the hair on his back stand up and his eyes starting to glow.

All the man did was laugh and applied more pressure to Apollo's ribs causing him to yelp in pain. Ebony was almost in tears at the sight and she noticed other vampires slowly appearing out of the trees. they where out numbered greatly and Ebony wished that she could be that horrible monster now and save Apollo. She cursed herself as she realized she had left her sword at the campsight... again... But the vampires didn't stop coming.

Ivan looked at Ebony as he turned fully into his werewolf form "stay here" then ran at the vampire that had Apollo pinned to the ground. The other vampires ran at him but he just shoved them aise and he ramed into the man. He grabed Apollo and ran back over to Ebony but just as he got closer he felt sharp pain in his back and he fell to the ground. One of the vampire had a gun and had shot him with a silver bullet.

"Ivan!!" Ebony screamed and ran to his side. She wrapped her arms around his head saying,"Ivan! Ivan! Stay with me!" the vampires moved in on them and she screamed at them,"Go away!! Leave us alone!!" She snarrled and she phased into her monsterous grey skinned form. She killed many but one shot a net at her. The net corsed with electricity and made Ebony writh in pain. She howled in pain and morfed back to her regular form. "Welcome back to prison," one said and she blacked out.

Ivan growled slightly but tasted blood in his mouth. He needed to help her but he couldn't move. His vision started to go and he muttered "I will kill you all" before he passed out and said ntohign else.

Ebony woke up to find herself in a cell. She tried moving but she was shakled by her wrists and ankels. She felt a searing pain from her ankels and wrists and noticed that they where burned from the metal. The metal wasn't normal metal at all it glowed softly and it weakened her greatly. Ebony saw she was not alone in the cell. Ivan layed on the ground shakled with silver and Apollo was chained to the floor. "Ivan wake up!! Please, wake up..." she pleaded.

Ivan opend one eye and looksed at Ebony. He smiled weakly and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. "good your not hurt." he managed to say before coughing up some blood. The silver bullet was still inside of him and destrying hin insides slowly, if he didn't get it out soon he would be dead by tomorrow morning.

Horrified at Ivan's state she tried to go to his aid but again the shakels held her back and singed her skin. "Im sorry this is all my fault... They wouldve left you alone if it wasn't for me..." she said and the door to the cage opened and Ebony gasped at who it was. "Hello Ebony, it's been a long time." he said and ebony gritted hr teeth. "Not long enough," she growled and he smiled at her. "Ah that's right, your mad because I had brain washed your beloved and made you kill him. Am I right?" he asked and she lunged at him only to be stopped by the shakels. "Now, now, let's not be hastey. " he said and she stared at him with hatred. "What do you want Charles?" she said venum in her voice. "To make a deal... You for both these mongrel's freedom and true princess's freedom... I'll let you think about it." he said and left.

Ivan managed to open both of his eyes after he left and looked at Ebony. "you are not goin got agree to that." he said and you could tell that he ment it. "I am not going ot leave you here, I would rather die." he said as more blood dripped out of the corner of his mouth but didnt' caough this time. He looked at her "I dont care for my ol dmission now, I have a new one and I am going to finish it." he said as he looked into her eyes.

"But... I can't watch you die.... I can't... And they won't kill me...'they'll just run tests.... I've servided through it for years, I can do it again..." she said and looked at him knowing that he had more of a chance at living on with out her then She did if she lost him... "Ivan you have to undrstand.... If you get the princess and she can change everything.... With her you can come back for me...." she whispered and stared at the blood.... His blood.... The smell was intoxicating...

Ivan shook his head vilently, "I dont care, I am not leaveing you." he said as he bit his lip as a new wave of pain came over him. Beads of sweat started to drip from his forhead and he smirked. "I am never going to leave you or let you go threw those tests again." as he said this he made himself shift into his other form. He silver cuffs burned his wrists and ankles but after a few minutes they bursted. "I am going ot get you and the princess out of here, both of you deserve better." he said as he looked at her and sweat continued to drip off of him. His ankles and wristed bleed but he didn't care and slowly turned back into his human form.

With all her might Ebony tried to phase as she saw Ivan but as she did the shakels grew brighter and burned her more. She gave a yelp of pain but she didn't stop the change. When she was fulling changed the shakels glowed so bright she couldn't look at them. She lunged and lunged but the shakels didn't budge. She pulled as hard as she could and the chains holding the shakels broke but her shakels remained on her wrists and ankels still burning her and causing blood to trickle down her gray black skin. A vampire guard passed and luckily didn't look in the cage. Ebony crawled to ivan's side and looked at his back. "You have to trust me... I'm goin to get all the poisonis silver out..." she said and softly pressed her mouth to his wound. She slowly sucked out all the poison and then spit it. And returned to extracting more of the silver. Soon she had extracted the bllet as gently as possible and was almost finished cleaning the wound.

Ivan smiled as he felt her lips on his back. It felt like heaven and yet it hurt like hell. He smiled as he felt her get the bullet out. "thank you, that feels a lot better." he said as he felt himself starting ot heal more easyer with it out. He then took her arm and looked at the chain. "now I am going to return the favor." he said as he morphed only one finger and started to pick the lock. Soon he had them all off of her and smiled. "are you okay now?" he asked as he took her into his arms.

She smiled and then grimaced and somthing like a small bee sting hit her but she ignored it. "Yes just really sore where those where... I don't know if those burns will heal..." she said and kissed him lightly. She turned to Apollo still in her monsterous form and broke his chains. He whimpered as he stood and she hugged him happily. Ebony let go of him and was about to turn back when she felt two more bee stings but they hit her neck. Her head began to spin and she grabbed the small darts from her skin. She stumbled into Ivan's arms and another dart hit her and she blacked out.

Ivan wrapped his arms around her and growled. "who ever is there show yourself." he said and sayed on guard. He wasn't going to get knocked out again or let them have her. "if you want her you aren't going to get her, she is mine you hear me." he yelled and turned back into his werewolf form and got ready to attack who ever came out of the darkness.

"Foolish wolf.... Did you really think both of you could escape? Our scientists are very intrested with what you have done to our little hybrid.... It's amazing how she can be so many things without it killing her.... Yet that is..." Charels said and revealed himself unafriad of the werewolf. He held a remote in one hand and pointed it at Ebony. "Now unless you want 100 volts of pure electricity going threw your beloved I advise you to stand down." he said and Ebony moaned as she began to come around. "How?! No matter after the scientists are threw with her we'll know."'he said and pressed a button. Cabels came down from the ceiling and coiled around her arms. She opened her eyes and was welcomed awake by the cAbels sending electricity threw her causing her to scream in pain.

Ivan growled at the scientists when Ebony screamed. He needed to get the cables away from her or stop the electricity from getting to her. He then looked at the scientist and smirked. "I may be a fool but a smart one at that." he said as he grabed the cables and dug his claws into them. He felt the electricity go into him instead of her and smiled happly as he felt it. He didn't even howl in pain as it shocked him. He then looked at the scientist. "and your not going to hurt her anymore, not while I am around." he said as he glared at him.

Ebony took in rasping breaths as Ivan stopped the flow of electricity. She shook and looked up at Ivan and winked. She looked at the concealed dagger on her leg that was peaking out from the waistline of her pants and he followed her gaze to it. She then acted like she passed out and fell against Ivan making it so that his hand was inches away from the dagger's hilt.

Ivan put on a face of worry when he felt her fall against him. He still cluched onto the cords with one hand and gently stroked her with the other, grabeing the dagger as he yelled "your a monster, look at what you have done to her." then quickly threw the dagger at the mans neck hopeing to see the man die right then and there.

the man crumpled to the ground a gorgled scream escaping his lips. ebony jumped up and riped off his head with her bare hands ending his misery. "A more mercyful death then her deserved." she whispered discusted.
