Back in the cell room, Valerian made Rose press onto Scratch's wounds while she was treating him to yarrow. The rest of the pack watched, waiting for him to cross over peacefully.

That was when Thunderbolt turned his head to Scratch's already dead brother and noticed something about him. Curiously, he trotted over to the corpse and saw the fur from the gray wolf was disappearing, and his figure was getting skinnier.

"Uh, guys?" He said.

Howl and the black wolf went over to where he stood and looked at the dead body. "What's going on with him?" Thunderbolt wondered.

"He's.......CHANGING! Guys, he's turning back!" Howl cried.

"And so are WE!" The black wolf said.

Valerian and Rose looked at one another with excitement and looked down at Scratch, who's fur was disappearing. He too was becoming a normal boy again! Scratch looked at himself and smiled softly, before letting out his final breath.

"No, no this can't be the end! SCRATCH!" Thunderbolt cried.

"Wait," She thought. "What about my brother? He could HELP!"

Howl too wondered about Shadow.

...........................................................

Shadow wasn't the same as he was five years ago, he seemed to look much older. His once skinny perplexion of himself became more athletic built. His hair was a deeper color of yellow, and he noticed he was much taller than before.Another thing he noticed about himself was that he wasn't wearing any clothes, but at that time...he didn't care. He wanted to take some time to feel human again. He lay there on his back, watching the clouds float by and the birds flap in the wind. At last he was free! He smiled at the realization. He never felt so good in....forever. He giggled. He never would've thought of his had he known that the friends he made would show him the way. Suddenly, the thought came to him, he wasn't quite done with his mission yet. He still needed to help them, especially Scratch.

Scratch! He thought.

Realizing what else he needed to do, he raced down the stairs and went inside the room. He raced into the closet and found some old clothes. He put some overalls on for himself, while at the same time grabbing all of the remaining clothes. He went downstairs, and raced to the doors to the cell room, where Mica was coming to.

The red eyed wolf, who was now a timberwolf looked up at him with confusion.

Shadow formed a crooked grin. "Get fucked!" Then he entered the room where his friends were.
