In moments the battle was won. Chris had used the password to take over the army and commanded them to stand down. Meanwhile the rest of the group helped to subdue Erin and throw her into jail for good.
Her plan had been foiled. People rejoiced when the hybrid army was reassigned to guard the forest boundaries at night. Chris took his place as their leader.
Erin refused to offer an apology. She was only interested in creating havoc. Silky and Noah continued as friends but their friendship was never quite the same again. The good news was that no one was hurt in the skirmish but Silky's tail was singed at the tip. An accident but the scar would be there forever.
Silky was idly waiting by her window when she heard someone faintly calling her name. She felt a little funny as if she was waking from a dream. She began to blink her eyes rapidly to clear the growing distortion in her vision.
The blinking seemed to only make it worse and the voice grew steadily louder.
Suddenly she opened her eyes and found herself in her living room with a fire going. She stretched out her legs before hopping down from the couch. As she walked to the kitchen she flicked her tail once and at the tip you could see the fur was singed.
