Nickoli made it up to the room Liv was staying in. Walking over he stroked her hair lightly. "Hey baby girl how you holding up?" He asked softly. Livianna opened her eyes and grinned. "Better thank you." Sitting up she gave him a hug. "They made me go back to bed." She whispered like it was a secret. Nickoli laughed. "Maybe you need it?" He suggested before giving her a side hug. "How many days did you forget your medicine?" He asked softly. Livianna sighed pulling it out of her bag. "I'm estimating two." Her voice soft. This seemed to upset her brother but he let out a loud sigh kissed her head and listened. "Sounds like you get breakfast in bed." He said softly with a laugh. "He likes you I think." Smirking Livianna responded with. "Not anymore like Liz likes you." She muttered with a laugh. Nick gave her a soft push before getting up and walking out of the room holding the door for Nathaniel. "Start reminding yourself Livianna, I can't keep doing it for you." Nick warned before heading to his own room. Liv sighed and smiled smelling the food.

Nathaniel smiled and thanked Nick as he held open the door. Once inside he slowly knelt next to liv and set the tray beside her. "Your brother is a very good person." he whispered softly and smiled at Liv gently. She looked so cute while she was tired. "Not to be rude, but I could help you remember your medicine if you like. I have a very good memory." he said softly and then remembered the food. "Oh yes, mother made me bring a little bit of everything up for us, so you may eat whatever you want and don't worry if you don't eat it all, we have a few big cats that like to visit durring noon, and we give them our leftovers then. As well as birds and other animals. It's quite fun to watch." he said lightly as he waited for her to eat something.

Livianna nodded to the first part about her brother. When her medicine was brought up though it was like a trigger to a trap. She pulled back mentally. "No, thank you, its nothing personal but, its personal. Kinda complicated, I'd just appreciate it if you forgot I took any at all. Really its not important. Well it is but it isn't." She rubbed her neck some as she kind of stammered. Smiling some she nodded. "It sounds fun." The words barely made it out of her mouth. Reaching out she took some of the food on the plate and sniffed it a little. Turning her head to the side she bit into it lightly. Her face lighting up at the simple taste of it. "Mmmhmm! This is really good." She said softly looking down at the food. Why did Nickoli have to bring it up in such a public manner. "About the medicine..." Her voice soft, "Its not that I don't remember. I hate taking it. I don't even know what it's for, only Nickoli does. While I was going to school I looked it up, it isn't even a normal drug. I have no idea who he gets it from, what its for, what it does, I only know the side effects of taking it and the effects of not taking it. Which I was assured wasn't the worst of it." Liv said looking up. "I don't like people knowing because I can't explain it." Smiling again she took another bight out of the bread like food she had in her hands. "It doesn't matter though, I suppose its a secret you can keep for me." She said before taking another bite of food.

Nathaniel listened quietly, his face fully of understanding. "I understand.... For the longest time my parents decided to keep me being a shapeshifter secret to family members, but now it's only to keep a secret from friends... So I get the feeling." he said softly and then took a bite of his food. "But that is a secret I am happy to keep." he said with s wink and then ate more, his eyes gleaming softly with happieness.

Liz smiled and walked up the stairs, running into Nick, letting out a soft sound she looked up and then blushed. "Soery Nick." she said and then blushed up at him. She brushed her hair away from her face, revealing her tattoo on her chest and revealing she wasn't wearing anything beneath the nightgown. "Did you enjoy breakfeast?" she asked softly and smiled at him.

Liv smiled some and relaxed a little. "Good to know." She said softly before continuing to eat. She didn't eat too much a decent amount she supposed, before yawning again and laying back down. "Please forgive me I may very well fall asleep on you." She said softly before rubbing her eye. Her chest moving only to rise as she took in air. Her pale skin looked paler as her fragile human body became still. Her sleep was very similar to death, her movements seemed to halt completely, her eyes remained closed. The only proof of her living was the shallow beating of her heart behind her breast and the breathing that raised and lowered her chest. Of course Livianna had, had no intention of falling asleep but her stomach was full for now and she was dozing again.

Nickoli refrained from staring as best her could before nodding. "yes breakfast was amazing thank you." He honestly didn't know what to say to the female in front of him. In fact most of what he was thinking was to inapproperiate to state so he just left it at that. "On your way to get dressed?" He asked

Nathaniel finished eating soon after Livianna and then began to orginize the plate. He watched as she slowly began to nod asleep and gently laid her upon her pillow. Pulling the covers up around her gently he took the trY out to his mother before returning to Liv's side. Leaning against the wall, he watched out the window before nodding off to sleep himself. He felt extremely calm and relaxed around Liv.

Liz giggled lightly and nodded. "Yeah, actually I was also going to find you. The pack is out and Nat's father offered to stay back and help you learn to shift. I offered to help too." she said lightly and then gently nudged him with her elbow. "So you up for it big boy?" she offered and grinned at him.

Nickoli nodded and grinned. "Sure am. Though I warn you, I have no idea how this is going to go or even work." He said with a chuckle. "Nice nightgown by the way." He said raising and lowering his eyebrows in a fast motion. He was only teasing, well kinda. Laughing some he gave her shoulder a squeeze before heading down stairs. "I guess I'll wait for you down stairs." Nickoli said and before long the muscular male was at the bottom of the steps looking around a little more.

Liz grinned hearing Nick and shook her head laughing and blushing. "Thanks! See you ou the front!" she called and then walked into her shared room silently. Getting dressed swiftly in the bathroom she was soon walking down the stairs her hair out of it's messy waves and now straight and shining. Her top showed her flat stomach and dimond navel piercing that flashed in the light. She wore a pare of bock spandex under a skirt that had huge cuts up to her waist band, her legs fully visible. Pulling on her simple sandals she walked out into the bright sun and sheilded he'd eyes and smiled at Nathaniel's father, who was staring at the far off pyramids. She knew that look upon his face, he was thinking of her mother.

Nickoli walked out in his everyday clothes. He was curious about what his sister was up too. Poor things entire energy was just gone. Emotionally and physically. Maybe that's why she hadn't freaked out yet, perhaps the realization of his new nature hadn't clicked. Sighing he finally found his way out front the light bugged him mildly before he cleared his throat. "Alright guys tell me how to do this. Or whatever." He said with a large goofy grin across his face. Looking at his two "teachers" Nickoli was again taken back by Liz's clothing. Was she trying to distract the crap out of him?

Nathaniel's father turned around as Liz giggled softly. "Yes, we should get started." he said and then smiled at Nick. "Now you have seen wolves shift, and most of the time it is out of anger. So we are first going to see what your anger limit is, and once you feel it clawing at you, let it consume you, and you should turn into a wolf." Nathaniel's father explained and Liz smiled at Nick. "So what would honestly tick you off right now?" she asked softly as she looked at him with glowing eyes full of fire.
((sorry short))

Nickoli thought for a moment and then got this unhappy, displeased look on his face. "If Cash showed up....I'd be so fucking pissed off." He stated honestly, the anger was already in his voice from the idea. "That guy just gets under my skin. First he screws my sister over for life, then he has his buddy bite me! IT hurt!" He said trying not to relax again. That last part made him want to laugh. "I'd be ticked if those other guys from last night showed up." Thinking some more he looked up. "I'd be really ticked off if anyone hit my sister. But that isn't an option, I'd probably kill someone which is not the point of this."

Nathaniel's father nodded and then looked at Liz. She nodded and then looked at Nick. She then sighed and Nathaniel's father shook his head. His idea of using Liz was something that he would have to try. "Faze and protect Liz." he demanded and fazed. Liz turned around shocked and let out a cry as she was hit by his paw. Slowly getting up from the sand Mathaniel's father growled deeply at Nick, a challenge, one that would rock Nick to his very core. A challenge for Liz, something Nick would understand from his wolf instincts. "Nick-" Liz started but she was hit again and set sprawling into the sand, coughing and shaking. Nathaniel's father growled the challenge again, taunting Nick. Hopefully this pissed him off enough.

Twitch, flinch, Nickoli got irritated the first time Liz was hit but it wasn't till after the first chalange that things got bad for him. This situation was very familiar, he'd been here before. Growling back unknowingly he got straight up pissed when she was hit again. His body shook and then kinda exploded into a mass of fluffy anger. Growling he tried to get used to his new form before moving between Nathaniel's father and Liz. In the back of his mind he tried to remember that Nathaniel's father didn't want to intentionally hurt the beauty but they needed to train him. It still pissed him off a lot.

Nathaniel's father didn't let on that he was very pleased at how well Nick had fazed, but he needed to give him another shove. "Nick yo-" Liz started but she was barely missed by the snapping yaws of Nathaniel's father, her eyes wide with shock as she fell back into the sand again. Growling loudly, nathaniel's father turned to face Nick head osn, his challenge deep, knowing that he was giving the pup the first move, he had to see how good Nick was at controling his new body. Liz watched silently, staying sitting in the sand, watching Nick with worry and hope. She hoped he would be able to control this body well.

Nickoli growled deeply, this had him seriously ticked. Then the old guy waited for his move? Really? Running forward pretty well he swiped at the old guy, loosing his balance at the end and falling on his side with a loud yelp. Getting back up he shook off the best he could before trying again. It was clear he had a better idea of how to do this now. He was going in for a head butt. Not a common wolf attack but something he'd seen a pet of a friend do on many successful occasions.

Liz watched in surprise as Nick ran at the elder wolf and swiped, only to be dodged and tumble in the sand. Watching as Nick regained his footing and going again she sheilded her eyes slightly seeing him attempt a head butt. He didn't make contact but instead was dodged and knocked over on his side. The elder bit his shoulder and suddenly the thoughts of him and the returning brothers began to fill Nick's mind. "Very good boy. You have a very strong heart and will. You show good promise to be a great protector." the elder wolf nodded to Liz who stood and ran to Nick and threw her arms around his furry neck. "You did great Nick! You controled yourself so well!" she said and then scratching him behind his ear. "Im very proud of you!" she said happily as she looked into his big puppy eyes.

Nick winced the headach he got from everything was huge. Relaxing some now he sighed and closed his eyes laying down a bit tired but enjoying Liz's attention. "Thank you." He stated softly. "Did I really need another bite?" He asked half joking as he closed his eyes. "I am starving again." Nickoli whispered, his black fur bristled some as he felt someone's eyes on him. Looking around and then up at the window of the house he found the spy. It was his sister who was watching from the window, kinda. He couldn't make out her expression though. Laying his ears back worried about how safe she felt now.


Livianna stood watching her brother mock fight with the older wolf and Liz. She didn't like this at all. In fact she wished it wasn't necessary. Watching his ears lay back Liv sighed and slipped on some shoes slipping away from Nathaniel. She grabbed a sun umbrella and headed outside. Opening it up she walked around the house from the back to the front, just minding her own business trying to find signs of animal life or even bugs around the foundation.

"unfortunately yes, it makes it so you're a part of this pack now." Liz explained softly and knelt next to Nick. She then laughed hearing he was hungry and shook her head. "Its alright Jamila and the girls have made another big meal. So soon you'll be able to eat." she said and watched happily as the pack of sons trotted over to check out Nick. "Looking good," the twins thought together and Dustan grinned. "Too bad you don't have cool markings, those American pups don't have as good of taste as us over the pond." he teased lightly before looking to the oldest brother. "Youve done good Nick. But you need to push yourself. This little las maybe a very strong girl, but with her looking at you the way she does, she's gonna need you to be strong." he said and Liz looked at all of them. "I hate it when I can't hear the conversation." she pouted makinglaughing barks come from the teenage wolves as they happily trotted towards the back. Liz just shook her head and sighed smiling. "Luckily you don't know hoe to keep things just inside the bond yet so I can hear you all the time." she said lightly and then rubbed his side. "You did extremely well your first time..." she whispered again, her eyes softening as she looked at him. Then hearing a soft roar she perked up. "Oh Jamila is feeding the lions! Come on Nick! Follow me and be quiet." she said snd got up. Quickly hurrying around to the oasis in the back of the house Liz stopped next to Nathaniel and his brothers as they all watched Jamila singig softly and setting out the food to the exotic creatures, some even brushing up against her like she was a friend. Two lions ate happily, the female pregnant and happily bulged as her stomach brushed the ground. Once the food was put out Jamila walked back smiling. "She is to bare her litter soon." she said to the family and then patted Nathaniel's shoulder. "You raised her well." she whispered lovingly an Nathaniel smiled as she walked past, telling everyone to walk inside and wash up. But he slowly approached the lioness, who looked up and trotted over to him. "Hello Isis." he whispered and petted her as she rubbed up against him. "You have grown so much girl... Gotten so big snd strong." he whispered lovingly and then kissed the top of her head. "you even have a family on it's way... I'm so proud of you." he whispered to the purring creature. "I love you." he whispered and the giant cat gave a soft noise of contentment before being called by her mate. Nathaniel waved as he watched the two lions dissappear back into the trees and then walked away, the many waiting birds swooping in for the food as soon as he was car enough away.

Livianna had snuck in behind the group and watched. She rolled her eyes a little at the word litter which didn't really apply to lions because they usually had only one cub at a time. At most two or three. Watching Nathaniel with the big cat didn't interest her much at all, she had no appitite so she didn't go inside either. She just found a shaded spot sat down and watched the birds. Quiet frankly she wanted nothing to do with anyone in this happy pack. She was feeling quiet bitter at the moment and wasn't sure if she'd get over it any time soon. A wave of sorrow consumed her as she rubbed her neck. The red head couldn't help but wonder how she truly felt about her brother being a wolf, she wasn't happy that was obvious. A tinge of happiness did fill her heart though, through the rest of it, at the thought that Nickoli had found a nice family to live with now. It had only taken him since he was nine. This happy feeling was diminished at the thought of Liz. She had a way with Nickoli, it was the first time in her whole life that Livianna wasn't his top priority. In fact its the only time she had been forced to stay away from her brother, and then her brother walk away with some dame like they'd seen enough of each other for the day. None of this sat well with her. Liz didn't even pretend to care, practically throwing herself into his arms every chance she got. A slight pout ran over her face. She was drawn out of her thoughts only by the beauty of the birds a head of her and the snake that slid past her. Peaceful was the only word for it.


Nickoli looked at the boys and laughed some. "Yeah yeah yeah." He muttered laughing at Liz along with them. He followed the group to the back and watched the lions eat. Looking around he couldn't seem to spot his sister, he'd find time to tell her about it later. Walking in he tried to think of something calming so he could shift back he hoped it worked that way.

Nathaniel felt Liv's feelings as if he was experiencing them himself. Wincing he looked at Liz and then to Nick. "Try slowing your breathing." Nathaniel offered and then Liz nodded seeing the look in her brother's eyes. "Im not taking it easy on you." he warned as they both faced eachother both eyes flashing. "Good. I wouldn't want you to try to use that excuse when I kick your ass." Liz growled, surprised the wolves perked up and watched as the tension grew between the usually very loving siblings. Suddenly both were shifting left and right Nathaniel throwing teeth and claw as Liz fought with elements like rock and fire. Nathaniel then hit her hard, making her fly back, but she landed on her feet. "You know how close they are!" he snapped and she cracked her neck as she shifted again, her body covered in rock and her hair and hands aflame. "Its always my fault! Everything is always my fault. You're to perfect to make a mistake! They're too perfect and weakto make a mistake, but dear god I begin to grow stronger with my powers that I'm the threat!" she snarrled and Jamila pushed threw her boys shocked at what was happening. "But you know better!" Nathaniel shouted and they locked in combat again. This time Loz was suddenly, faster, stronger, she was suddenly better then him. Suddenly there was an explosion of fire and when the smoke cleared Liz was left standing and Nathaniel was on the ground burnt. "If you love her and her brother so damned much then you stay with them!! This is all your family, and your mess not mine!!" she screamed and turned around angerily glaring at everyone. She fazed back to normal, except that the fire tattoo had doubled in size and was down her torso and other arm. "Get out of my way." she growled and the family made a path and she stopped to look at Nick. "Take care of your sister... I'm sorry I'm being such a hassle." she said and then stormed up the stairs and to her room. She grabbed all of her things and then stormed out. Nathaniel grabbed her arm but was pounched in the face. "Dont touch me you lying bastard." she hissed and then put the backpack on her back. "Good luck." she called and waved to the pack and began walking away. Nathaniel's father shook his head sadly and turned his back to her and looked to his son. "Shes like her mother... She won't come back." he whispered, pain in his eyes as he hung his head and walked inside.

Nickoli watched in shock and horror. What the hell had gotten into them? He looked around for Livianna to see if he could get her to help but he couldn't. When Liz passed him he was quiet surprised and followed her out. With out thinking much of it he ran after her. "LIZ wait! Don't you dare walk out on me like this!" He snapped moving so he could get in front of her. "Stop!" He half begged half growled. "You are the only reason I'm here, the only reason I'm like this! I refuse to allow you to see it as a bad thing. Your not a hassle. I don't know what just happened but I have a feeling its not your brother's feelings. That sounded way to damn much like my sister. Please, just wait! We can find her figure out what just really happened. Elizabeth I cannot do this with just that whiny ass coddled mother fucker back there." He said quiet irritated now.

Livianna heard the commotion and walked in looking around at the scorched area. What had just happened. Her eyes flashed as she went out front looking at Nickoli and Liz. Where was she going? She wasn't leaving was she! Suddenly all the thoughts she had thunk felt wrong and cold. "Elizabeth where you going?!" Livianna called running towards them. Only to stop when her brother growled. Blinking in a bit of shock she stood frozen. Half of fear half of hurt. Livianna couldn't figure it out, she didn't complain about Elizabeth she had only gotten upset to herself. Privately in her head. Yet somehow Nick thought what ever happened was her fault. Lowering her head she rubbed her neck and went inside. If Liz left now, she had a feeling Nickoli wouldn't be pleased with her for a while.

Liz looked into Nick's eyes, her eyes burnin from anger and welling tears. "But she's your sister. Family comes first, and I'm not family." she whispered softly, her arms shaking as she clutched her fists, digging her nails into her flesh. "I don't want to leave... I don't want to leave you..." she admitted softly looking up at him as she shook. "No one is happy though... I don't think Liv will ever be happy because of me... I can feel her hurt, and so can Nathaniel. He's so intune with feelings... He will never forgive me for staying and taring you from your sister..." she breathed and blinked angerily, her body wanting to explode in fire, and some flames licked up her arms. "I can't be the monster who breaks up your family." she choked out nearly sobbing as she put her hands over her face in grief and anger. Her eyes wide and her face full of anguish. She had never felt such a firey anger from her brother, never had she felt so horrible that she wanted to die from feeling that she had messed up everything. It was too much from her.

Nickoli looked at her. "Liz hates change, she's a firecracker waiting to go off." He said softly, soothingly. "It isn't that she hates you or even that she wouldn't be happy ever again. Its not you. She's scared and doesn't want to admit it. It isn't you," He continued but was cut off. Livianna and stomped over while he wasn't paying attention to her position. "Your right it isn't Liz, I was angry because your stupid." She said smacking his mussel. "Your stupid because your obsessed and that's why we left home again. Your stupid because you didn't pay attention to the wolves, and you were as deaf as the rest to my warnings. YOUR stupid because you were willing to go gallivanting off into the sunset with strangers and then left me alone and continued to because you found a home. I'm not angry at them, I'm angry at you and tried to blame it on them because I didn't want to admit you suck!" She said smacking him again. Nickoli growled and almost snapped at her but stopped when she grabbed his massive canines. "Take it like a man you big self absorbed jerk." She hissed. Letting go.
Nickoli growled some and looked at Liz. "Told you she wasn't upset at you." He said before yelping some holding up his paw. "STOP IGNORING ME!" Liv yelled as loud as she could. "I am trying to keep Liz from leaving." He snapped.
"Ok fine." Turning to Liz Livianna gave her a huge, slightly painful hug. "Don't leave sister, I need a friend too." She said before letting go.

Liz watched rather shocked as Liv beat up upon he'd brother, which was very odd indeed. Most people didn't randomly go pounching werewolves, expecially newly changed werewolves. She rubbed her arm and looked at the sandy ground as Liv yelled and ranted at her brother, still feeling as if she hadn't exsisted, that he and Liv would be better off. Had she and Nathaniel not come to their small town they would have been left alone and still human. She was then shocked as she was hugged, by the roughness and Liv's words. She looked at her and nodded silently as she kept her gaze down to the ground. She didn't know if she could do it, she didn't know if she could stay.... Because she wanted to have Nick's attention... She wanted it badly, and she felt that it was completely wrong that she did. She wanted to be close to Nick and get to know him but knowing Liv needed him too she sighed. "I don't know if I can handle.... Having your attention... If it means hurting your sister.... Because I know I will feel bad when I do." she said gently her tear slipping down her cheek.

Livianna looked at Liz and then at Nickoli. "As long as you don't come and gush to me about what you did with my brother that day, I can spare him." She said smiling. "I don't need him as much as it seems. Plus I don't want to deal with a moppy dog. I did that once and had to clean up after it everywhere." She said making a face. "He's a baby anyway, he'll go into a depressed funk and next then we know he'll smell worse than camel crap and would of laid in the same spot for at least a few days. It'll be gross and just plain pathetic. Can you imagine this fur all matty and smelly?" She asked which didn't seem to amuse her brother which got him another thump on the head. His irritation level was raising exponentially.
