~~~Gray’s Perspective again. If you haven’t read the first part please do that before reading this!~~~
The bullet hit my shoulder and my nerves felt like a lightning bolt coursed through them. Pain. Pain exploded there, blinding pain, pain that brought me to my knees. A roar escaped my jaws instead of a scream and I turned around and ran. Nothing came to my mind except one thing, the pain. That was all that mattered. All that the world was was pain and I tried to escape it, fight it, anything that would just make it stop. I ran till I could not run anymore, I fell down on the ground and stayed there, my blood soaking the ground.
I heard a sound and I got up quickly, my breath in rugged gasps. A girl stepped out of the bushes her black short hair everywhere on her head, she was painting, she probably followed me. But nothing mattered except driving away pain, driving away everything. I got up using the last reserves of energy in me to attack this threat.
"Stop it!" she yelled, "You'll hurt yourself even more! I'm trying to help you!"
Her words didn't reach me, I charged at her. She did nothing to stop me, she just stared at me with determined eyes. My paw came down and she didn't even flinch, it hit her with an astounding force that flipped her face down into the ground. My other paw raked her back deeply, her skin tore in for long lines. She held in a scream and pulled and ripped at the grass in pain.
I staggered, suddenly feeling faint, I had lost too much blood and was passing out.
The world, the pain, blurred then all was black.
When I woke up I was human again. I could still feel the bear part of me tugging at the back of my mind but I blocked it. The pain in my shoulder wasn't as bad, more numb than anything. I heard the sound of a camp fire and turned my head toward the sound and I saw it and the girl before starring at me. With everything now swirling in my head I couldn't help noticing that everything was now sharper and my hearing and smell just noticeably better. I started to get up and the girl's voice interrupted me, "Lay back down, your shoulder isn't healed nearly enough for movement."
I looked at my shoulder, it was bandaged and treated. I glanced back at the girl and saw her eyes were still gazing at me, like they were seeing right through me. I ignored her request and started to get up again but before I could move another inch the girl changed into a wolf and stood over me, fangs bared.
"You will lie back down and do as I say or I will rip your throat out." she growled.
I nodded nervously and lay back down. So she was a half-breed, did she know who I was? Why did she help me after I attacked her? She sighed and was human again, she turned away from me and looked into the fire. I held back a gasp, around her back and waist, bandages were tied around her thickly and already bleeding through them was four long jagged lines.
"It's Gray right? Gray. The name suits you now, your hair's silver instead of black." she said to the fire, I stayed silent but she went on, "I've been hanging out here for awhile, and I've been helping out some half-breeds in need. I know what you've done, and I know what happened to you." she said, just staring into the flames, she was quiet for a moment then continued, "I don't care about what you've done, not to me or anybody else. What you were is long gone now; the light of all animals, moonlight has taken care of that. What and who you decide to be is up to you now. I can see your heart; it shows through your eyes. There is still hope for you yet."
She turned and smiled at me and that moment was the most beautiful thing in my whole life.
But deep in my heart I looked at the things I had done and they weighed down on me like nothing else in the world. I sank down to the depths in my soul, the pressure crushing me everywhere.
I finished explaining my past and was quiet again. Even after one whole year I still didn't forgive myself and I wouldn't blame them if they all didn't forgive me. Dani still acted like nothing happened, I always wondered if she really forgave me. But it didn't matter, what happened in the past could not be changed, what I was and did still haunted me.
I stood there looking at the astounded looks on all the half-breeds faces. I didn't care what they would do to me, I would deserve it all.

Yay! It's all out! Gray's past is now here for all of you to enjoy. I hope I didn't disappoint you, you all seemed so eager to hear it...
I hope you’ve realized that what I’ve typed is not what Gray said to the group. He was just remembering what had happened. But he did say what he did and how he came to be a halfer.
