Helena watched Cecilia back away from her in what looked like horror.  It wasn't the first time someone had, so the sadness she felt wasn't too bad.  Cecilia then seemed to realize something and yelled the shadow was Neric.  Helena was fully aware of this, who else had shadow powers?  But Neric didn't seem to friendly at the moment, especially since he was even ignoring James.  [i]I can't fight a shadow,[/i] she thought, unable to speak as a tiger, [i]but maybe I can hold him off.[/i]  Helena hopes her dear didn't show on her face.  She was terrified of what could happen and was pretty scared of what Neric was transforming into.  It was like the Neric from before was completely gone.
