Meanwhile Wolf was walking in the woods. Thinking about Lucy. he never that he would meet a half wolf again. He decided to go back. When he reached the house he couldn't notice anyone inside. But he found where the two women were by using his nose. heentered without knocking. Virginia and Lucy were talknig about different things, they were laughing so loud. Then they noticed Wolf.
- Wolf, come in, me and Lucy talked about everything. She's so nice. Come and have something to eat.- Virginia offered him a seat.
Wolf wasn't able to eat. All he was thinking about was his son. It was evening, and he was tired.
- I'm not hungry. Thank you, but I can't eat now.
he pushed the plate away, and turned to Lucy:
- I'm sorry to break the door of your house. And, umm, my name is Wolf. I'm Virginia's husband.
- I know Wolf, nice to meet you. I'm Lucy.
- You have a nice name.
- Thank you.
- I feel a strange smell in you. You're a wolf? But you don't smell like a wolf exactly.
Lucy didn't like the question. Her smile disspaeared:
- You're right. Now if you'll excuse me. I'll go to my room. Make yourslef at home.
She went to her room, closed the door and broke into tears.
Wolf and Virginia went into the house again.
- Wolf, what're we going to do? How are we going to find Mike?
- We'll find him honey. Go to sleep now.
- O.K., good night.
- Sweet dreams creamy girl.
Virginia went to the room which Lucy showed her. She couldn't sleep. Wolf was still in the living room. he stood near the window watching the dark sky.
It was about 3 AM. Wolf was still awake. He couldn't stop thinking about Mike. Suddenly He heared footsteps behind him. It was Lucy.
- You can't sleep?
- No, I'm concerned about my son.
- Come to the kitchen. I'll make a hot chocolate. It'll make you relax a little bit.
They went to the kitchen which was in the house. Lucy made the chocolate and handed a cup to Wolf.
- Thank you.- He drank a little and continued.- This is good. Where did you get it from?
- I bought it three weeks ago.- Lucy replied, and continued drinking without looking at Wolf.
- So, which kingdom do you come from Lucy?- Wolf asked.
- None of them. I'm not from here.
Wolf was surprized:
- Not from here? What do you mean?
- I was born in New York. My parents are humans.
This time Wolf was interested in the details. He wouldn't meet a wolf whose parents are humans anywhere. So he asked:
- Your parents are humans? Huff-puff! How come you're a wolf?
- It's a long story.
- I'm all ears!
- Well, I was a human before. But someday the queen turned me into a wolf, and when I managed to return a human again, only my body changed, although I still have a tail. But my brain is half wolf's and half human's. Sometimes I think like a wolf, sometimes like a human. It's complicated.
- I know. I felt like that before. But why did the queen turn you into a wolf?
- I was going to stop her plans for taking over the 4th kingdom. She wanted the King's death.
- Cripes! She never stops. But she was dead, wasn't she?- Wolf asked with the hope the answer would be "Yes, she is dead".
- She didn't die. Everyone thought that she's dead. But her evil powers kept her soul alive. She's more dangerous now.
- And she has my son.
- I feel sorry about that. But I'll help you to find him.
No one knew where would the queen be. No one ever saw her after her death. Tony and Wendell decided to stay at the palace and send soldiers to search for Mike and the place where he may be.
It was morning. The second day. Virginia was nervous. She had one day left. She didn't know what to do. She would lose one of the two persons that she mostly love. Her husband and her son. She was confused. She went to the kitchen where Wolf and Lucy were.
- Good morning.
- Good morning honey. Did you sleep well?- Wolf came near and kissed her cheek, trying to comfort her.
- I guess so. Haven't you slept at all?
- No I couldn't.
- He was awake all night.- Said Lucy.- He couldn't stop thinking of ways to find the queen's place of hiding.
Meanwhile Tony woke up and saw a little bird on the desk which was near the window. The window was opened. He got up and tried to catch the bird, but it flew away. He noticed an envelope on the desk. It was like the one he saw at Virginia's house. He opened it and read the letter: "YOu have two days to bring Wolf to me. He must be at the lake in the middle of the woods, otherwise you won't see the kid again."
- Oh my God. If she wants Wolf, she would kill him, Mike and anyone else who would be with them near the lake. I must tell Wendell about this.- He ran to Wendell's room.
- Wendell wake up! Look what i found in my room!
- Anthony I have 5 more minutes to sleep. Do not disturb me please.
- Oh, come on! It's a letter from Christine!
- What? Let me see it!
Wendell read the letter.
- But where are Wolf and Virginia? How can they know about this?
- I don't know. I'm sure she's planning something by sending this letter here. She wants us to be there , too. To kill us! Maybe you should send some of your men to look for them. We don't have time. Or even better, we can go out and find them!
- No Anthony, it's too dangerous. Besides, my soldiers would find them faster.
Wendell ordered four of his best scouts to go and search for Virginia and Wolf.
At the same time Virginia, Wolf and Lucy were getting ready to leave the house. Virginia noticed that Lucy took soem bottles of red wine with her. She wondered and asked:
- What is the wine for?
- I'll need it to sleep tonight, so I wouldn't bother anyone.
- But why? why would you bother us?
- I hate to say it Virginia, but tonight it will be a fullmoon night.
Virginia started to get scared. At that moment Wolf came.
- Come on let's go.- He noticed the bottles and asked:
- What're these for? Are we going to celebrate something?
- No, it's for sleeping.- Lucy replied and moved on into the woods.
- Sleeping?- Wolf wondered.
- Wolf. Tonight will be a full moon.- Virginia said with a scared tone.
- Oh boy. I know that. I guess it'll be an unforgettable night. Huff-puff, let's go now.
They walked untill they reached to a place where the trees were in a circle, making a big open rounded area.
- let's have a rest here.- Said Lucy and threw her back sack to the ground, and sat on it.
- Where should we go next?- Asked Virginia, believing that the wolves would feel on which direction they should move.
- I'm not sure.- Said Wolf.- I don't smell anything here.
- Even if you try, you wouldn't feel anything here.- Said Lucy.- This place is called Restwood. Anyone who cames here stops to rest, and during it he forgets why was he out here, and after leaving he remembers.
- Oh I see. That means that we would forget that we are...- Virginia stopped.- why are we here?
- I don't know.- Said Wolf.- Let's sleep a little, I'm tired.
After one hour Lucy woke up and decided it was time to leave.
- Wolf, Virginia wake up, we must leave now.
Virginia got up and asked:
- Where are we going?
- You'll know later.- Said Lucy.- Wolf! Come on, get up!
Wolf finally woke up and they headed to the forest again. When they got out of Restwood, Virginia's memory came back:
- I remember now! My memory's back!
- Good for you honey. Try not to lose it again, we'll need it for sure.- Wolf said.
- Let's go south.- Said Lucy, and without waiting for a response she continued walking. Wolf and Virginia followed her.
Wolf was curios about lucy's story. He told Virginia about it. Virginia was amazed:
- Lucy, why did you stay here, and didn't return to New York?
- I didn't want to. If I am a wolf, I would've caused much trouble over there. So, I decided that this is the best place for me.
- Hey! I'm a wolf too, well half wolf in fact (scratching his head), but I didn't hurt anyone there.
- You are not alone. That's why you can control yourself.- Lucy's voice was full of sadness. wolf knew that there was something behind it. Virginia noticed the sadness on Lucy's face, and tried to cheer her up.
- We're with you Lucy. You're not alone anymore.
Lucy didn't reply, she just smled and continued walking without saying a word.
After a long walk they found a place to rest. At that moment they heard voices comming closer. It was the scout who was sent by the king to find them.
- Are you Virginia and Wolf?- He asked.
- Yes.- Virginia replied.- And who are you?
- I was sent by His Majesty King Wendell to find you. He and his friend recieved a letter which said that Wolf must be near a lake in the middle of the forest tomorrow evening, by sunset. His Majesty said that the letter was from someone called Chris.
Wolf whispered in Virginia's ear:
- It's a letter from the queen. Looks like Wendell didn't want his men to know that she's alive.
Virginia tried hard to stop her tears. She managed that, but couldn't hold the shaking voice:
- Thank you for the message. Go and tell my dad that we're O.K., and we'll be back when we find Mike.
- Yes Miss. I will. Now, if you'll excuse me.
He rode his horse and went back.
The soldiers couldn't find any track that would lead to the queen's hiding place. They rode back to the palace.
Wendell was nervous. he remembered how his stepmother turned him into a dog. he was afraid that she would do the same again.
- Anthony.- He talked trying to look as calm as he could, but that didn't work.- What if we fail? what would happen if the queen return to the palace? What if she turns me into a dog again?
- You wouldn't live to turn into a dog.
Wendell stared at him scared.
- Come on, Wendell. She's DEAD! remember? I think that this is someone else, who is pretending to be her. At least I hope so. But if you turned into a dog again, I'll keep you and protect you. Like I did in the past.- He put his hand on wendell's shoulder.- Just try to relax and think about something else. I won't let her hurt you.
Wendell smiled, and put his hand on Tony's shoulder:
- You're a true friend Anthony.
- Wolf, come in, me and Lucy talked about everything. She's so nice. Come and have something to eat.- Virginia offered him a seat.
Wolf wasn't able to eat. All he was thinking about was his son. It was evening, and he was tired.
- I'm not hungry. Thank you, but I can't eat now.
he pushed the plate away, and turned to Lucy:
