"We were a pack of metamorphmagus' (extremely rare wizard/ witch that can turn themselves into the form of an animal at their own will without the use of a spell) All of us wolves. King Henry took our leader. We planned to make him pay.

We crossed the dark meadow that night and headed toward the castle. Halfway there our walking turned into a sprint. It was clear that we were all quite anxious to get our beloved Jack back into our arms. I was the most anxious. He was my mate after all. I loved him more than myself and that often led to me acting irrationally. We reached the castle wall and hugged it.

The wall had three openings. One main gate, to which citizens were forced to use to get in and out of the city, and two side gates, that required a key and led straight into the Castle. They were hidden but we were able to find them. half of us on each side our lock pickers cast their most advanced spells. The locks broke and we were in.

I climbed the steps, followed the map of the castle i had memorized, and got to the babies chambers with ease. I went into human form and through on a robe. I carefully picked up the sleeping baby. His room was one of the many rooms in this castle that was sound proof. The noise outside it was deafening so the sound proofing had to be done in order to sleep.

I held the sleeping baby in all of its wrapping and slowly left the room and made my way to the kings quarters. This is suicide. I saw that my Pack had done their job in taking the guards down with a sleeping potion i made up. Three members of the pack waited outside the door and i walked in. Henry was at his desk Writing something and when i walked in he bolted up.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?!?!?!?!" GUARDS!!!!"

"You can call all you want. They aren't coming though. As to my business here.... I am here to trade. Nothing else."

"Trade? Trade what?" He just then realized i was holding his baby boy. "what do you want?"

"I want your metamorphmagus. Give him to be or the baby dies" i said holding up a decorated dagger with the sharp end pointed at the sleeping baby.

"  Fine... i'll walk with you to the beast chambers." he said hesitantly.

He fastly walked around me and through the door leading me down hallways upon hallways. Finally we reach the far back left staircase which led down to the cells where they kept magical beasts. He led me to the cell where Jack lay passed out in some straw. the rest of my packed followed us.

Henry shouted at Jack.

"WAKE UP YOU MANGY DOG!!!"

Jack opened his eyes slowly and got up off of the floor. Barely able to walk he leaned on the wall, his pitch black hair in front of his green eyes. I've never seen him look so beaten. I gave the king his beloved son and i ran in to help Jack stand. I kissed him and he smiled. Even in his tortured state i brought out a smile in him. The cage doors slammed shut behind me and Jack fell to the floor again. I looked out the cell door to find my pack members attacking the king and letting out beasts into the city. Ashley Donavent opened the door and gave me the baby. she told me to stay in the cell until silence fell.

A warlike sound came from outside and terror filled the air. The baby cried and I comforted it. I lay Jack on the straw and I covered him with a blanket. i layed next to him and put the baby between us keeping i warm. After two days of going without food and breast feeding the child, silence finally fell onto the Castle. Jack woke up and told me what Henry had done to him. I slowly helped him up and we left the castle through a side door.

We never went back to the Castle of the dead. " ~Diary of Alica Zane
