Author's Note: In response to the review written by Touga Kiryuu, I didn't mean to give the impression that I am fluent in Dutch. Yes I'm Dutch, but I was born and raised in New Jersey, obviously I'm more fluent in English than I am in Dutch. If I'm not sure about a word I'll ask either my Oma or my mother. My Oma told me that yes 'brand' means 'to burn' but it can also be used in the context of the word 'fire'. Doostar is not a word but a phonetic spelling, the night I came up with the name of my villain it was pretty late and my Oma was home in bed. So I asked my mom what the word for 'Dark or Darkness' she said 'duister' but she didn't know how to spell it, so poor little old me was forced to the age-old habit of 'sound-it-out'. Sorry for the confusion.

The Shifter Part 7

Vooruitzicht smiled at the use of his love's pet name for him. He hugged Lucht as tightly as he could and cried pitilessly into his shoulder. "Shh, little one, it's all right now, I won't let anything happen to you." The Wind Guardian assured him as he gently stroked his hair. They stayed that way for a few minutes until Lucht felt Vooruitzicht tense suddenly. "Something's coming." He whispered. Everyone took notice to the fact that he said 'something' instead of 'someone'.

"Do you think it's the doppelganger?" Trowa asked quietly. Voory nodded quickly showing his obvious fear. "Not to worry little one, the five of us are together again." Lucht replied as he pushed the guardian of Fate behind him. "It's here." Voory whispered ominously. Within a matter of seconds the doorknob rattled before the actual door began to shake on its hinges.

"Little pig, little pig, let me in." A voice drifted through the door before manic cackling could be heard. "Oh yeah he's a nut job." Lucht turned to look at Voory only to notice that his eyes no longer glowed. "Voory?" He asked. The smaller boy smiled. "I'm still Voory, love, only now I'm Duo the Forest Shifter as well." He replied. Lucht nodded and smiled to assure Duo that he understood.

More of the horrid mockery of laughter could be heard from outside the door as the pounding the wooden portal took increased drastically. "Did you think we wouldn't know? Did you actually think you could get away scott free? Than you truly are as dumb as I've all ways told you nephew!"

"Don't you ever call my family dumb for he is far more intelligent than you could ever be! You are nothing but dust and words!" Treize shouted, enraged by the slight to his nephew. "I say we let him in." Duo said, taking a step forward. His eyes once again glowed, but now with a whole new light.

Lucht nodded and smirked slightly whist the others stood stunned at this. Duo, the timid elfin boy they had been looking after for little over three weeks, was actually going to willingly confront the man who had put him into captivity? Lucht waved his hand and a mighty gust of wind knocked the door right from its hinges sending the aggressor on the opposite side flying into the wall behind him.

"You, you mockery of human existence, have been a thorn in our sides for far to long. I think it's about time I taught you a lesson." Duo said striding forward. "You think to teach me a lesson little one? Do not forget what transgressed between us the night of your arrival." He began to laugh once again but his joy was cut short by the cry of an enraged cougar. "That night you told me you had murdered my brother, the one person I could always count on. I've calmed myself, and now you'll meet your fate."

"Ha, you will do nothing for you do not have what it takes to harm another being." His smirking face fell however when he noticed Duo smiling. "And you must have forgotten that the animals that make up three parts of my being are predators." With that he screamed a cougar battle cry and leap toward his prey, claws unsheathed and at the ready.

TBC...
