Sophiya woke up as the sun broke through the trees, making the ground looked speckled. she gently nudged Akina, hoping he would wake up. she slid him off her and stood up, walking off the stiffness in her legs and back. she picked a twig off the ground and picked the leaf off it.

Lyna screamed in pain when she felt a pressure on her wound, she started to struggle, trying to get down and awy from the thing that had her. After a while she started to cough, blood coming out of her mouth and dripping down Zero's back side. She was crying again, they were burnning into her cheeks, eatting away the skin that was were they were falling at. She started to struggle again after a while of just laying there on his shoulder, she was in pain and that was something she wasn't familer with. Hell, she didn't even know why she was called the innocent slut, she wasn't even a slut, the innocent part was right though. Once she flet like the ground was beneath her feet she stood up, she looked around, looking over Zero and then looking over at Faline, she finally restted her eyes on Zero. "I am sorry......." a blush came to her face before she started to cry again, she turnned away from the couple. Hidding her tears, her pain, everything that would make people worry about her. She tried to hide it all, she even tried to stop crying but it wasn't working very well. She even knew that she was most likely going to die in these woods, since the only thing she had on her side was a healing ability. She walked over to a very large tree, walking around it until she was on the other side from the two, she sat down among the roots. She pulled her shirt over her head, stuffing it in her bag as she searched for something to wrap her self up in. After a while she found some cloth strips that she had packed and began to wrap them around her self even though she knew it was pointless. She knew she was dying, she knew that she was going to be the first to die in these woods but she knew that she at least got to spend a little time with Zero even though he had a girlfriend. She didn't even know that Faline and Zero were like that with each other until now, it actually was hurttin her to think about them like that, her heart was racing from her thoughts and pain. Which was pumping more blood out of her gash, she looked down at it and fingered the ede of the cloth as she watched it get soaked with her blood and start to leak out of it. After a few more minutes she tilt her head back and looked up at the tree limbs above her, the sky that she could see had grown lighter, which meant she had lived through the night but she might not make it through the day.

((HOLY COW!!!!! *eyes get burnned from how much i typed*))

Jill woke up and looked around to see Jake in his full dragon form, asleep then she looked at Sophiya "i thought you said there where no dragons. then what's that" she said nodding towards Jake "funny looking animal if its not a dragon"

Faline smiled when Zero had come over to them. He was trying to help after all. Her ears didn't pick up though they weren't pinned back like they had been. When Lyna screamed as Zero picked her up the Unai didn't think it was a good idea to move her. She shook her head and said, "I can find my sister, you watch Lyna, I don't think she'd be able to make the trip." She was guessing the girl was giving up by how she just walked away from them and behind a tree.

She lifted her head up slightly, sniffing the fading night sky. There were creatures about and she had to avoid them. She didn't have her bag so she'd grab that on the run through, but the creatures she's have to avoid of she wouldn't be able to save anyone. This was a side Faline was used to, the serious side, this side that wouldn't let anyone down because while they were on this field trip, these crazy group of kids were her pack and she was going to do what ever she could to protect them.

"Just make sure she stays concious," She then said to Zero as she shrugged his jacket off and handed it to him. She couldn't run as fast in her human form and she wasn't about to ruin what Zero was letting her borrow. Besides, she had clothes in her bag. She then undid the black wraps and just that alone caused them to start unravling and falling from her body. Rather than allowing anything to be seen though, Faline's body morphed as the wraps loosened up enough to where they wouldn't be destroyed.

The wraps hit the ground and a large black Unai stood where Faline had. She picked up the wraps and set them on the jacket she had handed to Zero before sticking her nose to the ground. She was acting much like a blood hound at this point, but her sense of smell would help her avoid the beasts of the forest. She then lifted her head to the air once again before looking back at Zero. She nodded to him, trusting that he would still be here when she returned. Another sniff to the surrounding area and she darted over the river that they had come over in the first place.

Once her paws touched down, Faline's long black claws dug into the dirt helping her run faster. Her long ears were pinned tightly back as she followed her nose more than her eyes. She knew exactly where Rory was, she could see images of where she was. Her eyes got wide as she smelled something, a harntula. We're definitly avoiding that one! She thought as her body seemed to almost contort as she changed direction.

She was coming up to where her and Zero had been before, she could smell her bag. The only issue was that when she saw it, it was surrounded by a little group of shock lizards. She had always thought they were adorable, but she had learned her lesson. Being knocked on your back side about five times will get you to learn eventually. They're small little beasties but they were still viscious. Her run stopped as she picked up her dagger with her tail and then growled at the creatures.

They looked at her instantly and started scrambling towards her. Obviously the lack of food in her bag made Faline look all the more appetizing. She took a few steps back before running and jumping over them. Not seeing it coming, the lizards toppled over one another as they fought to turn around. This gave Faline enough time to loop her bag around her neck and start running again, this time with a little company herd.

The fast little buggers were able to keep up with her, though the distance didn't seem to shrink. They were going to run her until she was tired, she knew that for a fact. Their little bodies had electricity pulsing through them, illuminating the forest around them. There was rustling ahead and Faline knew she had to change course, but before her mind and body could get to the right path a large griffin landed in front of her. Her paws dug into the ground, stopping her before her nose could touch the creatures chest.

The lizards had attracted it. At least that was her guess considering as it cried out, the little buggers took off, the winged creature taking off after them. Faline sighed, that had been too close of a call. Getting back to her feet she could smell the group, that meant that Rory was nearby. She started running again, she ran toward the voices. She noticed the kids she went to school with along with some lizard-like female she didn't know. She was showing interest in Jake. Well that's all well and dandy, she thought as she pushed herself passed the group. She didn't know, nor did she care if they took notice.

After a few more minutes she stummbled into the clearing that Chris and Rory were in. Her sister looked like she was passed out on him. No, you have to be well enough, she thought as she walked up to her sister nosing her lightly, chirpping to her to wake her up.

Rory had been having a nice sleep, though she was more or less just passed out. A wet nose connected with her arm, chirpping followed and that woke her up instantly. She pushed herself off of Chris and looked at her sister. "What's wrong?" She asked knowing that it must have been something urgent seeing as Faline's chest was rapidly rising and falling, not to mention she was rather dirty.

Lyna, she's hurt, bleeding to death, Faline chirpped to her sister. We need your help. Zero is hurt too, she chirpped again as she picked up and dropped her paws in an anxious matter. It was a common action by Unai when they didn't want to sit still. There've been a lot of attacks in the area, we need to hurry.

Rory nodded to her sister, she knew why she had been so worked up and she had to move to help them. Looking at Chris she shook him, hoping to wake him. "Chris," she said urgently as she shook him. "Chris, we need your help. Lyna and Zero are in trouble." Her brows furrowed slightly, she was hoping that mentioning Zero would get him up, but that thought also didn't make her too excited.

((Oh great. Now Zero's gonna have 3 people that kinda like him with him. Ugh. XD))

((^^;; Yup XP Blame Rory though! And I thought giving Zero and Lyna time would make things interesting O.O ))

((So I read Rroy and I was like WTF? When did he come into the story. XD))

((Haha I know! When I was looking through names I saw that and I was like 'ooooh I wanna use!' Then it was, 'drat, I read it as Rroy' XP))

((lol, poor zero :) ))

lets have fun"she said smiling"so far this camp has been boring."she smiled and walked around the place they had been sleeping, trying to find her bag. she walked over near the river and found it on a rock. she looked through, trying to find her brush. she grabbed her bag, with her brush in hand and walked back to where Akina was standing. she smiled as she was brushing her hair"what can you do that's fun in a forest?" she asked

Cora Laiden was in the forest with the new strangers. She had been for a while. Ever since the year before, but whose counting the days or years. She had her own little place she had built in the forest and now there were people here again. There werent many from the first trip there but again, whose counting. It helped that she could shapeshift. The only problem is when someone decided that they were hungry and would try to hunt her while she was in animal form. Shadows made everything better.

Cora use to be the one that scored the highest on the midterm. The one that tried to show her parents that she didnt need the school. The funny thing was that she did need the school. She needed it to learn how to survive among her classmates. Most of them had turned against her. Most of them were older than her. She had killed alot of them because they came after her for food. You see they had been on a trip just like the last group. The same thing happened. The driver of their boat had supposedly vanished as well. They crashed into something, the boat sank, and they ended up stranded on this island in the middle of the lake or something like that. It changed alot of her classmates.

She was tired of all the conflict and now there were new people. They would go crazy just like her classmates had. She heard voices under her. She was up in one of the trees looking down on three people. Twins by the look of it and a man as well. One of them had just come to the area and the other had been laying on the man. The one that had come in was freaking out about something. The twin that was with the man said that there was a girl named Lyna and a boy named Zero in trouble. She only knew the sexs from the names. She decided she would go and check it out. She disappeared in the shadows and ended up coming out at a tree over a white haired male with a girl that looked like she was really hurt. She didnt know if she should approach them though. It was something she had learned from the year of being stuck here for year.

((O.O Cora can understand Unai O.O))

Jumping down from the tree Adena walked over to Akina and Sophia. "Ok..I know where the others are so...if you two could stop making googly eyes at eachother we really should go find them." Her tone was a bit anoyed. But would you blame her? She had stayed up all night keeping away any creatures. "And I don't care if you think it's safe...It's not. Nothing is, or will be while we're here. As far as I can tell we're the only ones here which means we should be smart and stay together."

((No... She saw her worried face and heard Rory say the names and Zero.... Sorry.. Ill fix it so that its clear.))

((Haha I forgot one was still human XD))

She flinched a little when he touched her face, she started to blush until her face was bright red. "I...was just looking for everyone. Doing nothing to harm them and i came across a animal. It was hurt really bad so i healed it. I didn't realized that there was creatures already comming to the smell of the blood and well the animal got up and ran away and i already had it's blood on my hands. So they came after me instead of going after the animal." it was obvious that she was telling him the truth, it was also obvious that it was hard for her to tell him so many words. After a while her eyes started to close, her breathing was shallow, her hand slipped from her stomach and fell out of her lap onto the ground next to her. She was falling into the darkness that wantted to consume her, she started to cough again, blood coming out of her mouth again with each cough. Her eyes open briefly as she turnned her head to Zero and looked at him. She reached a hand out and brushed that stubborn strand of hair out of his face. "I am dying........Zero....." she whispered to him, she let her hand drop to the ground again, she gave a weak smile before she closed her eyes again.

----------

Chris growled when he felt some one shaking him saying words that he didn't understand, his clawed, furry, hand shot up and grabbed the person around thier neck and squeezed just enough to keep the person from moving around. He openned his eyes, blood red, he looked at the girl he had a hold of, he forced his hand open to release her. "Why didn't you let me die?" he growled at her, he shifted back into his human form, if he remained in his werewolf form he would have killed the girls. Then it regestured in his head what Rory had said to him as she was waking him up, his eyes narrowed and he got a evil look on his face. "Leave them for all I care." his voice was bitter and full of hatred, he stood up and streatched, you could hear every bone in his body pop or snap. It sounded painful, like he had broken every bone in his body, if you were looking at him you would have been amazed that he was still whole and nothing was wrong with him.

"C-Chris," Rory said as she gasped for air as a large furry hand found it's way around her throat. Her eyes held a fear in them, what was going on? The guy she cared for seemed to want to end her life. She was more than scared, she was terrified. Tears welled up in her eyes but then he dropped her. He wanted to know why she had saved him and she said quietly, "Because everyone deserves to live." She didn't look up at him though, her eyes were on the ground as she held her neck.

He was hurting her, Chris was hurting Rory and that was something Faline would not stand for. She bared her teeth at him as he held her sister but he soon let go. That didn't matter, she was still mad at the male. Her eyes narrowed as she barked at him. No words, just threatening barks, it didn't matter if there were words anyway, he didn't seem to understand him.

Her growling continued as she nudged her sister up from the ground. Her long ears pinned back in a warning sign. Taking Rory's dress carefully in her teeth she tugged on it slightly, urging her sister to come with her.

Rory didn't want to leave, but yet she did. She wanted to run far away from everything but didn't want to leave anyone hurt. It was a curse of hers, she just didn't like seeing anyone in any sort of pain. As her sister was nudging her she didn't have much of a choice though. "Chris, please," she tried before her sister tugged her once more. She gave up at that point. There was no convincing the male, or so it seemed.

Quickly pulling her clothing off and shoving it into her bag, Rory shifted and nosed her bag until it fell around her neck. She looked at Chris one more time, her ears low, she was hurt. Her tail was dropped as she turned and began walking into the forest.

As Rory was leaving Faline walked in front of Chris. Her growling continued as she moved. Once in front of him she barked and snapped her jaws. She didn't want him anywhere near Rory, not anymore. She then ran passed him catching up with her sister whom followed as she ran. The run back to Zero and Lyna was much less eventful as the two made their way though the woods.

Faline had to sniff once she started getting close. She found the river and the two jumped over it. Pausing, she sniffed the air and then the ground. She trotted a little further to where she saw Zero holding the wounded girl. He had watched her, she was glad. Walking up to him she nosed him to let him know they were there.

Things were serious, more so than Rory had thought. Once she saw Lyna lying there she knew it was bad. Quickly changing into her human form she pulled her dagger out of her bag and slipped her red dress on. Taking her bag with her she ran over to where the little group was and knelt on the other side of Zero. "What happened and how long ago?" She asked as she looked at Lyna. It looked bad, really bad, but Rory needed to know what she was dealing with so she could help her.

Cora could hear conflict with the three that she had left behind. She wanted to go see what had happened but decided it was best not to. Instead she made a perimeter around the four that she now saw. The two cats had joined up with the other two and one changed back into a human. Her perimeter was set up now. It wasnt to trap the people. It was to protect them from any animals that might be coming from the smell of blood. She jumped down lightly from the tree limb and landed on shadow instead of earth so as not to make a noise. The shadow disappeared and she stepped on the ground lightly. She didnt notice the twig under her foot until it snapped as she put pressure on it. She stopped dead and hid in the shadows moving her to another tree a little further away. Again she didnt want to show that she had been there but snapping the twig made that a little difficult.

Lyna watched Zero, she saw the tint of red in his eyes, the look that was in it, she hung her head before she moved slightly away from the new girl, she laid down on her back. She pulled more bandages, a needle and some thread out her bag. "I know you will fall asleep after you heal me. So um......can you just sew the wound up and let me heal natrually?" she asked the girl as she held the things out to her, they were in the same class and at the same stage so she knew what she was talking about. She didn't even bother to tell her what she told Zero in secretcy, she was dying but she didn't want anyone else to know that, she forced some life back into her eyes as she looked at the girl. She had talked alot and it was kind showing, her voice was starting to sound like she was losing it.

Chris just watched them as the left and Rory's sister had growled at him, he sighed heavily before he followed them. Once he had reached the others, he didn't even spare a glance for Zero, he walked straight up to Rory, ignoring everything he was getting from her sister. He crouched down next to her, his eyes now thier natrual ice blue color, as he lightly tilted his head so he could see the damagee he done to her, she had a bruise on her neck the size of his hand. He eyes showed the hurt and shock in them when he saw it, he had hurt her even after she had healled him, he looked apologeticly in her eyes before he went and kissed the bruise on her neck. He held his power in check, he went to her cat ear, he knew she could feel his breath on it. "I am so sorry, Rory. I didn't know it was you. Can you ever forgive me for everything that i have done to you?" he whispered into her ear for only her to hear, he was sorry, genuinely sorry for what he had done to her and he let her hear it in his voice. He could hear and feel that her sister didn't like him, she never liked him, but he cared about rory and he wantted to make it up to her. He brushed the bruises lightly as if he was trying to make it go away, and he wished that he could, hurtting women was not something that he did ever, this was the first time that he has. He wanttd to make it up to her, to make everything up to her, to even make up the tears that he made her cry.

sophiya frowned at what Adena said. she wanted to have fun. she cupped her hand round Akinas ear "why is she sucking the fun out of this camp?"she whispered, and then played with his hair. she walked around in circles then suddenly dropped to the ground in a sitting position, she didn't want to go anywhere.((sorry it took me so long to reply, i was dragged off to a party by my mom))

Jill woke up and turn human form and stood and looked at the three of them and then turned "im sorry to have bothered you last night" then she looked into the distance of the forest "i will leave now. Good-bye" she turned to walk off and started to walk

The twig snapping and even Zero's reaction to it took Faline's attention from her sister and Lyna. The only difference was that she didn't growl. Living in packs like Unai did, one had to learn not to growl at every little thing that went bump in the night. Zero got up and walked into the forest, but Faline stayed. She was going to stick around her sister in case she needed any help.

Rory chuckled at Lyna's request. "I have no experience in medical," she said, a small smile on her face as she looked Lyna in the eye rather than at the wound. "I can heal the first few layers if you prefer that," she told her. There were different symbols that would heal different things and different symbols for different strengths. With all of this, Rory had to pull her tome out and look at it to see which one she would need for the outer healing, if that's what Lyna wanted. "She should be fine," she said seriously, never removing her gaze from her book.

Faline should have growled at the sound considering the next person to walk in after Zero was Chris. Jumping to all fours, the female lowered her head as she bared her teeth and growled at him again, her fur standing on end as her ears pinned back. He was getting close to her sister and Faline would not allow that. She stepped over Lyna so that her front legs were on one side, her back on the other side of the girl.

Her growling didn't seem to faze him as he kissed Rory's neck and whispered something to her. Faline didn't like this as a low, big cat style roar started low in her throat. It wasn't very loud, not yet, it was just meant as a warning for the wolf to get away from her sister. A smell was about him, there was always a smell. It was disgusting and to Faline, it wasn't one to trust.

Rory's ears dropped when she felt Chris approach. She refused to look up from the book even though she had found what she was looking for. Had anyone else looked in her or her sister's book they more than likely wouldn't know what it said, unless they could understand the ancient Unai text. He was close enough to see it considering he kissed her neck causing her to flinch.

She never said anything though, even when Chris whispered his apology. Faline wasn't happy and she knew why, she had been there and saw what happened. At that point Rory had a job to do and she knew that if she ventured away from it that her sister would be mad. She didn't know what to think about the apology though. It seemed kind and sincere, but the action that was being apologized for seemed almost too great to be forgiven so easily. It was something that she was going to have to think about and she couldn't do it right then and there.
