Alexandria relaxed as Rieun told her it was okay "really?"

Zax let out a sigh of relief, as Rieun had hidden himself just in time. He casually walked back over to the rock he was one earlier and lied down on it. He watched smaller creatures run past, and smiled.

Trynie let out a scream and ran to Darlian. "Sister! How are you? What on earth are you doing here?!" She asked excitedly and jumped on her to give her a hug.

Darlian laughed and fell to the ground while hugging Trynie. "Trynie! I have missed you so much! I came to look for you and happened upon these two sweet men and then you come running through the woods like father was on your fins! I am doing well, but I can't seem to help thinking that somethings are happening." She said with a smile.

Rieun looked at Trynie critically for a moment, and then smiled. The sight of Trynie this happy was definitely refreshing. He sighed. At least things were coming together for everyone else. Personally, he felt that he would have been better off if hadn't remembered his past. Rieun ignored the self pity, and looked back up at the group.

Alexandria looked upon the two sisters as they hugged each other "Um I'm confused... you two know each other"

"Oh!" Trynie said and smiled as she got up and off of Darlian. "Rieun, Zax, Alex, meet my younger sister Darlian! Darlian, meet three of the four people I have been traveling around with!" Trynie said with a smile.

Darlian smiled at everyone and waved shyly. "Hello... It is nice to meet all of you." She said with a smile.

Rieun stepped forward "We've already met." He smiled reproachfully he came closer and pleaded to her under his breath. "Please don't tell them what happened before." He stepped back.

Darlian looked away, feeling slightly hurt by his expression. "I will not." She whispered back and smiled at the others as much as she could.

"Sorry for forcing you to keep it a secret, but I.. I'm not ready to tell them yet." Rieun looked at her hurt expression, scolding himself. He stepped away.

Zax looked at the sisters from where he was lying, and then to Alex and Rieun, and then back to the sisters. I wish I could smile as much as they... Zax thought, rolling onto his back, to look at the sky. Remnant... where is he? Zax thought to himself, getting up. He jumped off the rock, his front feet turning into hands, he stood up and his back straightened so that he had the image of a human again. "Anyone seen Remnant?" asked Zax, walking to the other four. "And yes, I did morph into a human" said Zax, looking at the even more confused look on Darlian's face.

[[Didn't mean to pay out your smiling btw, if you're taking it as that :P]]

Alexandria hugged onto Trynie right uner her breasts "She's as cute as you are Tryn" It's easy to see she's your sister.

Reiun looked at Trynie, and smiled. He stepped back quietly, so they could talk.

Trynie giggled and blushed. "Alex!" She shouted playfully, weakly trying to get out of her arms. She looked at her sister and felt her smile turning into a frown as she saw the hurt look on her sisters face when Rieun stepped away. "Darlian?"

Darlian felt as though her heart were in pain as Rieun stepped away from her. She softly played with her hair and looked away from Rieun, knowing it was probably because she didn't and never would look like a normal or even cute person, as much as she wanted to believe Alex. She looked with a confused look at Zax and nodded. "Just a part of you." She said with a grin. She looked over at the sound of her name and saw the frown on her sisters face. She laughed a bit, forcing the sound from her throat, and shook her head. "It's nothing." She said softly.

Alexandria noticed Darlia's frown and let go of Trynie so she could deal with her sister.

Zax shrugged, turned around and strolled away. "I'm going for a walk," Zax shouted over his shoulder. He kept walking, thinking about the recent activities that had happened to him... finding this group of nice people... meeting new friends... remembering about his past... meeting Rieun again... it was so nice to be able to remember things. He started to wander about his own kind, if he would ever see one again, thinking, thinking. As he strolled past he heard some rummaging through the bushes.

"Hey, you!" yelled a voice to Zax. He looked around, and saw another human there with armour on. "What are you doing? Get down, they'll see you!" Zax realised that they were the king's men, and they were stalking the group of 'monsters'. He decided to play along, so they wouldn't catch him, and so he could hopefully go to warn his friends at the right time. "Oh, sorry, coming!" Zax said, jumping towards him. As he got past a clearing, he found about 10 other humans in the same dress code, with weapons at the ready. Oh no... he thought. I have to warn the others!

"What were you doing out there alone?" the guard asked, lifting his visor. "Those beasts are very dangerous, you know! They aren't... normal!" Zax took that statement very offensively, but tried to look calm. "I was just... taking a stroll. I didn't know they were there, I swear. Please, let me on my way." The guard eyed him suspiciously. "Very well, but you better keep clear of them."

Zax gave a sigh of relief, and as soon as he was around the cover of the trees and bushes he quickly morphed back into a cat, and sped to the camp. Hopefully he could warn the others in time.

Rieun saw how much he had hurt Darlian, and he hated himself for it. When he was able to, he walked over to her with a smile. "I'm really sorry.. For being so secretive.." He put his hand on his head. "I really want to be your friend, ok?" He stood beside her, and sighed. "I really should show them the real me.. I'm tired of secrets."

Darlian looked at him and pulled him into the bushes. "Please, change into your true form? No one will see out here except me." She said and waited for him to make a decision.

Trynie watched as Darlian pulled Rieun into the bushes and looked back at Alex. "Well... today possibly is shaping up to be even more interesting." She said with an impis grin.

Zax suddenly ran into camp and formed into his human form again, which bent over, hands on knees, panting. He looked to his friends, seeing they were confused, so he pointed back behind him. "Hu-humans..." Zax pointed, flailing his arm. "They... they followed you. Us. They, they..." He gasped for air. "We're in danger here!"

Rieun gasped with shock, as he was pulled into the bushes, and he replied to Darlian sheepishly, "If you really want me to..." Rieun's arms and legs became longer, his face grew shape, and stubble began to sprout from his face. He looked at her seriously. "Why did you want to see me like this?" He lay his hands to his sides, and ignored the commotion coming from the camp.

Alexandria pulled Trynie into a hug "Well... with what we are in this world I'm not surprised" she leaned her neck down a bit to kiss Trynie on the lips.

Zax watched as his friends obviously did not hear him, and he started to panic. The humans were probably not moving at the moment and just keeping an eye on them, but Zaxies wanted them to be safe. He quickly looked around, knowing that Rieun would do the right thing - but he couldn't see Rieun anywhere. "Rieun? Alex? Trynie?" Zax said, trying to get attention.

[[Sorry, I think I did this a bit too fast, I interrupted your alone time, tehe :P]]

Alexandria looked to Zax noticing he was freaked out "What's wrong?"

"Because I can see it pains you to be in the other form. Now, as for telling them... I think that it would be a very respectful thing of you to do if you told them exactly what happened and show them your true form. it will make traveling easier for you at any rate." Darlia said in a equally as serious tone.

Trynie smiled and kissed Alex back, but pulled back when she heard Zax. Her eyes widened and she looked at Alex, paniced for her sister and Rieun's safety.

Rieun looked down. "But I've been like... That. For so long, they will think I tricked them." He sighed. "But you're right. I can't keep something like this from them." He leaned over and hugged Darlia closely, to thank her. "Thanks. I only just met you, so this mightn't mean much, but I can tell that you're a great person." Rieun stood up, and brushed himself off. He reached out his hand to her, to help her up. "We should go back." He sighed, then smiled at her warmly.

Zax rolled his eyes. "Humans, not far from here," Zax repeated, pointing the way he came. "They have been following us, they will probably strike tonight, or soon at least. We should be prepared or move on!" Zax really did not want his friends to be attacked, so he was hoping they would pick to move on. "I could even distract them if you'd like, to give you more time to escape. Then I would catch up." Zax changed slightly to match the image of Trynie. "How about it?"
