(continued from Vampire Tower)

I emerged form the spiral staircase in the main section of the castle and began to walk down the dark corridors.

Strange eerie noises flooded towards my ears but I tried to black them out and refuse to hear them. I had my weapons ready for anything I may encounter. I was on my way to face the Queen. Whatever her plans where I could not let her destroy the world.

A strange sensation rushed through my body. I knew that if Istopped the Queen and stopped the apolcalypse from taking place, then I would die and my soul return to Lunea where Iwould spend the rest of eternity. I would never see my friends or family again. I would never see Alice, my daughter, ever again. I dreaded this. And I hated Shynira, the goddess of Lunea, for putting me in this situation. I did not want to die. I wanted to live!
However I also knew that if I did not do this then the world would burn. I had seen this in my dreams. I had seen the nightmare that would befall the world. In time everyone would die. My crew, my friends... Alice... they would all burn.

I knew what I had to do. I had to face the Queen and do whatever it would take. Either way my life would end here on Devil Island. But now I was ready for that.

I continued down the corridor, more determined then ever before. Then suddenly I saw a figure ahead of me. It was a large beast, but in the shadows I could not quite make it out. I took a step closer and saw that it was a werewolf... and it had seen me!

I saw the man down the corridor and I approached him slowly. This was the man I had once called captain! Now I called him dinner!

I growled and showed off my muscles as I approached him. He was not the one I was after. I wanted the two women, Emmsi and Olivia, but is he was going to stand in my way then I would have to kill him too!

I grinned showing my sharp teeth.

Captain Warner raised his weapon towards me. I did not fear it. I knew it could not kill me... if did not have silver bullets.

I scraped my feet on the gorund and then dove at the man claws first...

The wolf dove at me. He hit me full blact in the face and I was thrown backwards, hitting the wall. Blood spurted from my mouth as I fell to the ground. I looked up... I would not be defeated this easily.

"Phoenix!" I shouted, "Sergeant... if you can hear me then listen to what I have to say. I am your friend! Your captain! I do not wish to fight you... we will find a way to stop what has happened to you I swear it but you have to let me go. You cannot try to kill me!"

The Phoenix wolf continued forward, his sharp claws scraped the ground like chalk on a board. I gritted my teeth from the sound.

"Do not force me to kill you!" I shouted, "for I will... to survive!"

The wolf was not listeing to me. I realised that any part of Phoenix that was once in there had gone. He was a beast now.
He attacked my again, hitting me in the side of the face and throwing me to the floor. I raised my blunderbuss and fired three shots at the chest of the wolf. He staggered back and my fourth shot knocked him to the ground.
But he quickly recovered, getting once again to his feet. It was only then that I actually took the time to look at him.



He was a large wolf with light furr that ran all over his body. He was quite majestic looking. I then thought back to the wolf that I had seen on the Kingston.



That wolf had had dark furr and evil red eyes. I gasped in shock. The Phoneix Wolf was NOT the wolf that had been n the Kingston... that meant that there must have been another... but who?

The Phoenix Wolf lunged at me, crashing into me and bowling me over. I hit my head on the floor and the world began to spin...

I grabbed the captain by the legs and threw him against the wall. I was making sure that he was fully unconscious before maknig my move against him.

I slumped him down. He was out cold. I licked my lips and opened my mouth wide. Slowly I brought my mouth closer to his neck, ready to rip out his flesh.

Suddenly there was an explosion from one the room near the corridor which shuck the walls. I looked up with concern. I knew what it sounded like but for some reaosn could not remember what it was... it must have eben something that the human Phoenix used to use...

I was about to shrug it off and go back to my dinner when a door burst open and a shadowy figure looked down at me...

(continued from War-Room)

I stood looking out into the corridor at the scene before me. Captain Warner was knocked out on the ground and the Phoenix Werewolf was about to eat him!

"Hey!" I shouted when I saw the beast. Instantly I raised my crowssbow and fired at the wolf. It saw me and ran off down the corridor. I turned to Bruce and Olivia.

"I'm going after that wolf!" I said, "watch out when Emmsi wakes up... she has been bitten! She WILL change and she WILL try to kill you!"

Without looking back I headed off down the corridor in chase of the Phoenix Werewolf...

(Continued from Vampire Tower)

I could smell Phoenix the wolf, he was near and was heading towards the Werewolf Tower. My eyes darted forward and I could see Mister Johns chasing after Phoenix carrying his deadly crossbow.

I ran past the exploded wall and chased after them both with great speed.

I woke up just as the large Andor wolf rushed by, knocking into Bruce, Olivia and Emmsi as he ran.

I got to my feet and shuck off the dirt from my clothes. My head was pounding. I was now more determined then ever. Everything was going crazy. It had to be brought to a stop.

I looked to Bruce Freedom and Olivia.

"Look after Emmsi," I said, "Get her out of the castle, back to the Kingston if you can. I'm going after the Queen!"

With that I strode off down the corridor...

I started to sitr. I know something happened to me when Pheonix caught me in the woods, something I didn't want to happen. I looked around andsaw Olivia and Bruce. Turnign to Olivia, I said "Please, help me. Pheonix bit me, to try and make me into a werewolf, please, find someway of stopping it happen. I don'twant to hurt any of my friends. You've got to do something..."

"There is a cure to the werewolf disease," I said hurridly, "the trees and bushes outside... the thrones on them... the poison within the thornes. It is deadly to humans but to werewolves... it is the cure!"

I passed Emmsi over to the Olivia.

"It is the only way to save her!" I said, "Now I must leave you. I am going to follow the captain. I have a score to settle with the Queen!"

With that I rushed off down the corridor...

(continued from the Vampire tower)

Darren and myself ran foward and we could see Bruce Freedom running futher down the hall. Then I saw Olivia holding Emmsi in her arms. We ran up to them both and she briefly explained the situation.

"Olivia are you okay, hows Emmsi? I need to find Adrian quick has Bruce also gone too?"

Olivia nodded, she seemed troubled with all the events that happend on Devil Island.

"I'm going to run to the Captain and then quickly come back for you. If I don't make it back alive, you shall take my postion as Chief Engineer aboard the Kingston. Don't worry I am not going to leave you both here, but now I must go."

I turned to Darren "Thanks for all your help, I think we have done well for the Captain. It was good working with you." I nodded to him then ran down the corridors following the path of Bruce Freedom, leaving behind unanswered questions.
