Seth held has hand out inside the cell Natalie was in for her to take. Natalie hesitantly placed her small hand inside of his. Seth pulled her through the doorway, let go of her hand and said "Follow me." He began climbing a flight of stone steps that lead up to a large thick wooden door. He pulled it open and they were walking down a long carpeted hallway. "The clinic is just outside of that door up there" he pointed ahead. "You look a little scratched up and you've been through quite a lot lately so I'd like to get you checked up." Seth smiled warmly at Natalie. She was still looking at him nervously.

Natalie wasn't sure what to think as she followed Seth towards the entrance of the clinic. When he had started questioning her about her parents being rogues she thought maybe he would think she was one and keep her locked up forever. He was being pretty nice to her now so he must have truly decided that she was no real threat to their pack. He opened the door to the clinic for her and gestured for her to walk in. Natalie stepped through the threshold taking in how large and nice it was. Suddenly she was practically tackled by a blur of a person. "Natalie! Oh my goddess I was so worried about you!!"

Was she hallucinating? In a coma? If she was please don't ever wake me up because it sure as heck felt like her mom was hugging her right now. Natalie pulled her head back blinking. Holy crap it was her mom. She returned the hug, squeezing her mom tightly and was bawling her eyes out. Seth stepped back to give the two of them some privacy. Marsha and Natalie were standing there hugging and sobbing on each other's shoulders. Natalie was literally speechless. "Mom, what? How? How are you here right now?" she finally sobbed out. Marsha wiped her face off and brushed Natalie's hair from her face just like she used to when Natalie was a little girl. "Oh baby girl that's quite the story."

"First let's sit down over here. You look like you're about to fall over sweetie." She guided Natalie over to the nearest bed and sat down beside her. "Well I know you know that your father and I were chasing after those rogues-" she held a hand up to stop Natalie's question before she even asked-"your father's here too. You'll get to see him don't worry. Let me finish talking missy." She said with a wink. "We were following the scent that went to the left while our old pack followed the scent that went towards the right. Anyways we lost their scent for a bit and ended up way outside our packs border."

"We picked up their scent again about five miles from the Silver Moons pack. The rogues had just killed the alpha's daughter." Natalie's eyes went wide in horror. Her mother nodded grimly. "Yes, it was absolutely awful. There was a giant scuffle of fur and of course your father and I jumped in to help. We both were badly injured. If this pack hadn't taken us in I hate to think what would have happened." Marsha gave a small shiver. "Tyler told us he owed us a great debt of gratitude for avenging his sister's death and welcomed us into his pack with open arms."
