"We can't let Shadow get into trouble because of our choices, we need to find a way not only to free him from her grasp, but also us."

"The dagger is always going to be in her pocket." Valerian mentioned.

"What? Why didn't you tell us that before?" Thunderbolt shrieked.

Scratch silenced him.

"Never mind the dagger, Valerian....our souls are attached to that, but it's not linked to Shadow. It's her, herself.....that's it!"

"What's it?" Thunderbolt said.

"It's HER! We know Shadow accidentally raised her......she not only controls the wolves, but she controls the cursed ones too!"

"What are you saying Scratch? You're not making any sense." Howl said.

"You guys know that she was alive before, right?" Scratch looked up at the girls. "What happened after she was dead....what happened to the wolves?"

"Some of them wandered off, the cursed ones became human again, some that were really bad like her died like she did. Everyone had free will!" Valerian explained.

"Oh my God, how are we going to kill her?" Howl wondered.

"The Necromancer!" Valerian answered. "If Shadow knows more about his ability, he could reverse the spell."

Thunderbolt tilted his head. "How can a dead-raiser reverse his own spell?"

"That's one of the rules of being a witch, doesn't matter what you are. 'With Every Curse, There's A Reverse!'" Valerian said. "We have to be careful though, why necromancers are given a hard time is because the magic they hold is black magic."

"That's it, fight fire with fire!" Thunderbolt said excitedly. "But, what if Shadow doesn't know how it works?"

Scratch looked at him with determination.

"He's all that we got!"

"Hopefully my friend will be back with him soon." Rose said.
