What was left of the monster's hand fell away from his face, as it let out a pained howl.

"Mora!" Marik screamed.

Mora ran into the room, rushing to the bed, she moved what was left of the monster, flat on the bed. "I told you not to use that!" She chucked the empty syringe across the room.

"Why is he disappearing?" Marik pulled himself to the beast's side, watching as his cheeks started to vanish. The monster howled again. "He's just supposed to shift!" He tried and failed to pull the male onto his lap, pushed away by Mora.

"I told you, he has no human form!" She was muttering to the beast already; her spell, the tranquilizer, or the pain finally made him lose consciousness.

"I thought it was just a saying." He gasped, feeling dread creep into him. He'd killed his Mate!

"You idiot!" Mora yelled, pushing her brother away as he tried to reach out again.

"Can you do anything?"

Mora bit her lip, but as his chest started to go, she could only think of one thing. "I'll have to separate him."

"What?"

She sighed, not having time to explain. "Make him like you. He's not wolf or human, but both. Maybe I can split his forms." Her head spun as she tried to think of the right spells.

"How can I help?" Marik tried to move toward them.

"Leave." She said calmly, and suddenly Marik was in a different room, startling the doctor.

"How did you- Mora." It wasn't really a question, but Marik nodded. "Well, it's good you're here anyway." She helped Marik lay on the bed, feeling his heart beating fast. "You need to calm down," she said, "Or this isn't going to help. She held out a clear liquid vial.

"She did it," he asked, feeling even worse that he was asking so much of his sister when she had already taxed her powers to make this.

"She did," the doctor sighed, straightening Marik's legs as much as she could. "I don't approve of using magic to heal, but with whatever trouble that monster is bringing, we need you at full health."

Marik nodded, downing the bottle in one gulp. "I thought it would taste ba-" he felt like his legs were being yanked and forced to straighten. He screamed, falling back into the bed. "Doc?!" The doctor could only watch, not able to interfere with the potion.
