Sara her siblings and Akro were entering the forest they entered last time. Where the siblings almost lost their lives last time. The tense between the siblings could be felt in the air. "I forgot how to use my fighting techniques, I feel very unsafe." Vanessa looked around nervous while her ears were laying back, Sara agreed "Yeah just hoping it wouldn't happen the same as last time. This time here is just Akro to help us, and hes hurt. No 'Chaos defenders' anymore to safe and protect us from danger..."Sara was trembling by the memories of how the monster almost killed her the last time, with her who had a serious cuncossion.

But they had no choice, they must go trough the forest because it was too big to go around it, kilometers wide just forest. Sara felt how her arm was taken by the wolfs warm hand, she looked in his direction and his eyes were fixed in hers he holded her hand tight:" Hey, hey don't worry sweetheart. I will do my best to protect you and your siblings. I would even sacrifice my life for you." His determined smile showed Sara that he meant it. He would do anything to protect her and his friends. Sara shook her head: "Dont worry, you wont loose your life. Not with me here."

She noticed how Vanessa nestled next to Akro from fear. Her other two siblings also came nearer each other:" Sara is right. I think I can still use my spines, but I'm afraid I can't hit everytime the right spot." The porcupine didnt sounded so confident about his abilities as he did before.

Luisas tail was waphing:" I can't believe I say this, but I feel so nervous that my tail is itching all the time. I hate being nervous!" Sara looked in her direction annoyed but admirable 

'She has pretty strong nerves not to have flipped out until now.' 

Tought she as she moved curagously ahead.

Suddenly she felt a strong feeling, like something was tearing her from inside apart, her soul felt sour. Suddenly Vanessa fell down with no warning, she fell on her side hardly. Sara and Akro went by her side while the other two siblings stopped walking and looked wondered in her little sister direction.

"Are you ok? Did you hurt yourself?" Sara took her hand and lifted her up she saw that her little sister didn't hurt herself ernst. But her yellow eye was shining bright while her other eye started to darken itself.

Vanessa responded frail:" I-I feel so w-weak out of nowhere, I feel so tired and sleepy. I-I can't explain the pain that my soul is feeling. It's anguish me. I feel like something dark is attacking me from inside.

Akro asked shooked:" Vanessa? Your eye, what's happening with it?" 

" I dunno but I feel so weak." Sara looked in the wolfs direction:" Akro let's continue, we'll see by the base, Hazel could surely help. If not we'll go to a doctor in the next near village." Akro nodded to the cat next to her and turned back to her little sister:" Do you want me to carry you? Piggyback again?"

But Vanessa sighted weakly and shook her head:" I think I can take it from here, I'm not that weak. I just feel out of balance." And she stood up trembling and continued the path ahead of them.

 Akro looked at Sara nervous and Sara looked than at Akro:"Her cheek is bleeding!" Sara wimpered. Akro ansered calm:"No worrys Hazel will treat her wounds."

Sara nodded in silence:" Maybe she feels dizzy because she hadn't eaten anything today, maybe that's the matter. To be honest I feel exactly the same like her. We'll eat when we arrive. Than she will come back to her streingh." Akro nodded determined, but with still a worried expression:" Ok, Let's continue."

After other 5 min of walking Sara heard a whisper, she first ignored it, but after a time there were more and more voices. 

When suddenly she stopped and looked around her nervous when she heard the word 'death' in the words, her ears were turning around afraid:" W-what was that?!" 

"What was what?" Asked her brother as he stopped too. Akro saw that both of them stopped and called the other two girls to also stop. " What's the matter?" Asked the wolf perturbed and confused.

"I, uh- didn't u heard it Fineas?! T-there are voices!Around here somewhere! They said s-something about d-d-death!" She spit the last word out. Akro looked troubled at the porcupine, but Fineas just shrugged confused. When suddenly Akro heard multiple movements nearly. Fineas saw his ears moving nervous and asked:" Hey Akro is everything alright?" Akro just heaved his hand up as sign to make no sound.

There was long time silence between the whole group. Vanessa moved slowly more nearly her older sister. Fineas spines started moving up like thoustend of swords, sharp and dangerous. She looked to her other companions, she saw Luisas ears nervously moving around without a break. As she looked at Akro she noticed long claws coming from his gloves.

Wow new Weapon! Sorta combait gloves! I never saw something like this before! Surely Milton made them!  

Sara heard behind her steps and when she looked she saw nobody. 

What the heck was that?! What's so fast?! O-ok I must try to use my power. 

She sighted heavily nervously. 

Or we'll be in big troubles...

Suddenly she saw Luisa taking her sister Vanessa up in bridal carry style and jumped by side, a fast shadow wanted to attack her from behind. But the shadow turned his direction in Akros. He also jumped by side fastly. Now it was moving in Saras direction and she also jumped by side in last second, but it burnt a small cut on her cheek where a few blooddrops were spitting in the air in slow motion.

She fell on the ground, but she fastly stood up and saw that Akro that attacked the shadow with his claws and the weird formed shadow just disappeared in the ground, it soaked up like water. As she looked around she noticed shadows were all around them, they were surrounded. 

They were all shaped in all kind of creatures or monsters. They looked dangerous and they looked like they were looking like a blackish liquid that could form in any form they wanted.

"What the hell are this things?!" Asked Fineas nervous. 

Sara felt dizzier than before and barely could stand on her feet. She felt weaker and weaker as the time went by:" I-I don't think I can fight them..." She almost fell on the ground, but Akro retracted his claws and caught her. He helped her up and saw that her pupil of her red eye coloured itself white:" Sara, hold on. I'm by your side. Just try your best, try to activate your powers. Just try it. If you need me. I'm always by your side." But he didn't mention the white pupil.

Sara took her last energy and stood up from his arms frail. She nooded smiling infirm and tried to concentrate. But there wasn't a single star in her mind. Normally she tought of a bright star like the one on her forehead and when she saw it before her in her mind, she could use her powers how and when she desired.

But this time she saw a red shining star before her. Everywhere around her was blue shining lights. And as she opened her eyes, she saw red particels coming out of her hands. From one hand red from one blue 

what the hell is happening?? 

Tought she panicly. 

I'm...feeling different. From inside...?

As Akro looked at the grey cat, he saw her both eyes glowing red. But her expression was panic pure with tears in her eyes.
Akro saw that and stroked her hand before stretching out his claws weapon, Sara looked surprised and startled in his direction. Akro nodded than with a Cheerful expression.

Fineas went before her sisters, trying to use his goards. It worked, the liquid monsters exploded that were attacked by his goards. But his eyes looked tired and his feet were trembling. The two other sisters where hiding behind him. 

Luisas tail was swaping belligerent around in the grass and Vanessas ears were laying behind fearful, with her holding her tail.

"Don't let them near you!" shouted Akro while scratching the ones that got too near.

Fineas growled weak:" What do you think that I am doing?"

The wolf continued worried:"I have a bad feeling if it's touching any of us." Said Akro serious having fear for his loved and friends.

"They will burn us if they do." added Sara " I felt it as it burnt my cheek. We are in danger guys."
