Ivan looked at Hazel "no I am a werewolf it is just that I couldn't transform with that collar on and the reason I was sent here was because no one beleved that I am what I am. But now that that collar is off I can finaly turn into a wolf" he siad and started to turn into a wolf. Soon there was no human but a wolf "see I am not crazy, everyone just thinks that werewolfs are fairy tail"

Lenore's eyes were wide with shock. Maybe I AM crazy! She rubbed them hard, trying to clear the odd image from her sight, it was clearly a hallucination. Yet, it was still there when she looked again. "Whoa."

Ivan walked over to Lenore and licked her hand. "your not crazy." he said softly and looked at her with kind careing eyes.

Lenore smiled, still shocked, as she rubbed the wolfs head. "Wow. I didn't know this sort of stuff was real. Can you believe it?" She whispered, both to the wolf and no one in particular.

Ivan smiled and let her rub his head "yay I believe it, but people out there don't and that is one way that I got in here."

"Yeah. I bet any one you told would have had you commited. They did have you commited. But I don't mind." Some how being a wolf seemed natural for this boy. Like her was meant to be different like this.

Ivan looked at her "but since i have been here for so long I have forgoten how to survive by myself, so this is the only safe place for me now"

"Yeah, I guess that would happen. How long have you been here, any way?" It was odd, talking to a wolf like it was a person. But this wolf was a person, strangely enough. You learn something new every day.

"I have been here for seven years." Ivan siad as he looked at her. It felt nice to be back in his wolf form after all those years and he was really happy

"It's not really so bad here, just certain people make it seem bad..." Rion said and laughed nervously as he thought of Nathan. Come to think of it, where was Nathan? He hadn't seen him around in quite awhile. Usually a doctor like him would come running in right about now to cause a ruckus.

Hazel still thought if they didn't say anything, they could go where ever. She stood up, stretched and started running toward a treee that was next to the building. "Come on Lenore!" she called

"Hey get back here!" Rion exclaimed as he saw Hazel run and looked down at Lenore hoping she would be able to say something to prevent Hazel from running off. Also he hoped she wouldn't go running after her. He didn't like using force, but if he had to, he had a gun in his back pocket with a stunning solution.

Hazel reached the edge of the roof and jumped with a little boost from her powers into the tree. she quickly jumped down and ran toward the forest. I wonder if Lenore is following? but she didn't dare turn to look. She kept running, thrilled at this new found freedom.

Lenores heart thudded loudly as she contemplated running for it. When her eyes flicked to the doctor she saw flicker of something distinctly weapon like, some sort of gun ish. "Hazel, no!" She cried, fairly sure that while a blast from the doctors gun wouldn't be fatel, it would be highly unpleasant. "Stop!" She called out, hoping that Hazel would listen her, if not the man with gun. Why would she listen to me? Lenore asked herself, but none the less hoped she would oblige her requests.

Rion sighed, he didn't bother to shoot, he was always on the slow side. "It's alright," He said patting Lenore. He didn't dare speak of what would happen though if Nathan found out, which he would. "Let's go back to your room alright?" He said taking hold of her hand so she wouldn't run off.

Ivan nodded "yay lets go back" he said as he walked to the doctors side like a dog. He smiled at the doctor "don't worry sooner or later Hazel will come back or I will go getter her" he said knowing that he should have stoped Hazel.

"Thanks," Rion said patting Ivan. He knew that the boys intentions were good, but he wasn't so sure it was a good idea for him to go out into the forest. "I'd rather you not do anything reckless though, at least without telling me," He said opening the door to the stairs, "That forest isn't the safest place to wonder about...."

Hazel finally stopped. she thought she heard Lenore run, but she wasn't sure. she wasn't next to her now. "I'm free." she suddenly realized. "I'm free. I'm free! I'M FREE!" she was soon shouting at the top of her lungs. "IM FREE! I AM FREE! I AM FREE!!!" she sudden;y covered her mouth. Dr. Rion would get in trouble for not being careful. Ivan would get the shock collar again. and Lenore.... she wasn't sure. "I have to get them out of there!" she decided.

Ivan nodded then a flash of memory of his parents being killed came into his head. "yay the forest isn't safe" he said as he tryed to hold back the tears that were coming into his eyes. and walked over to the stairs.

"You alright?" Rion asked as he noticed Ivan didn't look so well. He treated the children here as if they were his own. He placed a comforting hand on the boys head.

Hazel decided she was going to rest up before rescueing her friends. she found a nice bush and fell asleep almost instantly.

A few tears went down his face then he smiled at Rion. He didn't want him to worry about him

Rion noticed the tears and just smiled. It was obvious Ivan didn't want to talk about it and Rion ruffled the boys hair. He gave the boy a pat on the back to have climb down the stairs first and then moved Lenore in front of him to go next.

Ivan smiled and went in after him. He would miss the outside air but it was safer inside. He hoped that Hazel would be okay out there.

Hazel woke up a few hours later. She climbed a tree to see how far she had run. "Wow." she realized that not only had she run down the hill fro the asylum, but she had also run a good ways into the forest as well. She climbed back down and worked on her plan.
