He didn't move when she approached and growled. It was like time had stood still for him, even his chest shallowed moved with each intake of breath. His lips were just barely parted so he could breath. With every exhale came traces of some sort of smoke-like substance that seemed to engulf Alec's whole body. It misted out slowly from beneath his eye-lids, the tendrils lifting into the air and away with the breeze. The misty-smoke coming from his mouth rose the same way. A thin layer of grey mist curled around his body, constantly moving. His hair was a much lighter blond then it had been moments before when she had left. the ends of a few locks were almost pure white, though in opposite to that, some strands had black streaks running through his hair. A weak groan escaped from his parted lips, though he didn't move apart from his head rolling back ever so slightly. The smoke seemed to curl more tightly around his hands and feet, whirling about his fingertips and floating in the wind around his upper body. Every time it looked like he might wake, more smoke drifted from between his lips and took to the air. If one looked closely enough they would see that Alec had turned a paley grey, as if he was somehow sick. Suddenly the smoke whipped together and spun outwards from him in a mini-tornado like cyclone. Once the vapor's were gone from his body a shutter ran down his spine and he fell limp against the ground. His back now on the forest floor, his eye-lids didn't even open when he lifted a hand to his forehead. An entence headache was pounding at his scull, as if daring him to try anything. Alec edged one eye open, winced at how bright the sun was, and quickly let it fall again. His eyes and head hurt too much for him to worry about why Lew was back so soon. He rose his arms up to cradle his head, almost having them act like a pillow of a sort.
A chuckle distracted him for a moment, making him slip an eye open again. There was a man, standing there, to the left of where they were. His body was constantly moving with the wind, every gust that came through moved him closer or farther from them. He had a misty had outstretched to them, a grin -or what you could call a grin, it was hard to tell on a man made of vapor's- stretching his mouth upwards. A cloak decorated his body, as well as a top hat. The clothes didn't have a direct color since they were made from misty vapor's. Staring at him for too long caused Alec's eyes to itch and burn. Who was he? And why did his whole body feel like it had been pumped with led? "Lew," He moaned out softly, hoping this man was just a figure of his imagination like the blood and gashes from earlier were.

Elizabeth pulled her knees up closer to her chest, watching Milo with interest. What was he talking about when he said something about the boy's tattoo's? And having attacked him last night? She frowned slightly and tried to comprehedn what he was saying. He seemed worried about the kid, but was it his problem? His little brother sounded pretty nice, other then for the whole 'wanting his blood' part. "How old is he?" Asking out of curiousity, Liz eyes him though when her head finally took in the last part of his words. They would need to catch him? They as in, him and herself? She swallowed softly, not really sure she liked that idea. After barely knowing the guy he wanted her to go trapsing off into the forest to go and catch his brother? Not a very likely idea... Eyes becoming large at the thought, she hugged her knees tighter and shook her head at him. "I just met you, and I'm sorry, but, there is no way I'm about to go looking through the forest, for your brother without knowing anything about you. A girl and a guy alone, out in the woods. That seems kind of odd, does it not?" Liz rose an eyebrow, to her the whole idea seemed shot. As much as he wanted to make sure this Ratchet kid was safe, she didn't need to be caught up in the middle of it with him. She rather liked it where she was infact.

"I see, it makes sense actually." Cassalia said, hoping the conversation would help Natalia not become bored as she waited for the wounds to heal.

((Oh gog the wb. I apoligize, I might edit it later if it's too little to reply to- so probably.))

((Bringing this up for Kess, it really was a terrible post. I apoligize again.))

(Sorry! My computer hasn't been working well lately so I need to use my iPod while my mom tries to fix it.)

Natalia nodded and shrugged her shoulders, hoping to stretch out some of the soreness in her muscles. The pain was just about ebbed away now but Natalia had a feeling that there would be permanent scars left behind. There weren't usually permanent scars, but she was fairly certain that whatever it was that harmed her, the magic or whatever, was giving her a severe warning.

I can't know what these feelings are, but I have them with you, and I miss them without you.
. : .

Lew could see his body rising with smoke as though something was burning him against her odds of even trying to protect him, and even with her own skull pounding against the bone of her forehead her anger was reaching high levels of anger to which her mind was slipping away to a killing. She had to stay focused. As his hands began to lift into the air the smoke around them seemed to tighten around his limbs with unknown actions. Lips pulling back she reached her teeth out to snap at his the smoke engulfing his body for a wish to exterminate it from around him or at least try to do whatever she could with several growls as well as jaw crushing snaps at the smoke. Not seeming to be of any use Lew brought her head close down to Alec's face where if she looked close a grey sickly pale look was rising to his cheeks making him appear ill against the smoke even as it began to swirl out from him causing her legs to jump back in answer. Not able to be of use in her wolf form she turned back human quickly with her eyes still red from rage as well as still after lingering effects from the blood she took early still pulsing thoguh her vains giving her power as well as her black heart pumping blood faster into her limbs as well as her regular doign to same giving her limbs greater mobility as well as speed, stamina, and mind. When the man finally sounded out a chuckle her body took her straight direct to face him like a lion with her stand of power as well as grace. She didn't show fear or answer Alec when he called out to her in a soft voice wondering who he was, right now he was on her mind, but ignored by the rage of this man. "Coward," she spoke out her word dripping with venom. "Fighting him while he is a sleep, you coward of a soul. You dare to even show yourself to me under such sheep like ways you must be one of my prey hiding from the likes of me. If you just wanted to fight why not give me somethign to fight against, but no attack my lover, and make me feel pain. Your such a coward. I hope you woudl mist so I can see you bleed under my feet," she hissed out her red eyes blazing as well as voice changing in zones of tone where even her voice broke off to be replaced by a snake like hiss of a dark deep voice of venom with a hunger for pain. It was mixed in with her voice as though even the Black could not stand to watch a friend of even his own suffer unless need be. Black seemed to hate that so in stand he was close up to her now more so then her regular heart to where he could almost feel his flame of his own soul burning her mind with how close he was to her inside. Though now with her deadly gaze of red Black moved closer to her eyes as if trying to see, and with ever single bit her eyes turned darker, and blacker. "Leave now or I will hunt you down to make sure you die. You threaten anyone of my heart, and price you will pay, and I own want blood," she growled though the deep voice was there inside each word as her hair was black behide her, her hands growing long sharp black claws from her nails, her teeth longing in her mouth, shoulders poping out from her skin with fur alongside, and eyes turning not red but black from the pupils growing to suck up the white inside her eyes. She looked to be born of a shadow, and her eyes told it as Black inside moved up right along side her now his own mind with her on this fight not lettign her face it alone.
Why are you helping me? she asked him in this action of surpirse to his backup.
Because, your courage with you standing up against this coward at first was not me. Though feeling you would do what you said moments ago without me, I wanted to help sence you showed me such courage of a body. You are worth my backup now. If you want to attack him I will be at your side till you wish. He told her his proudness of like that of a father showing though his voice though still dripping with left over venom form the talking she could tell he was proud. She grinned on the outside her hands clenching at her sides as she looked at him meeting his misting gaze with her own. "Leave now for you are trash. Alec," she said turning towards him her eyes of total blackness narrowing on him softly. "Don't come in. You need your rest, and a bit of a bloodshed on my part would be fine to me as long as your safe. Please," she said before her eyes grew again to normal size like before to turn back at the mist.

Milo nodded understand Liz's words easily. He knew he was just tellign her about his brother though not askign for much then her not wishing to go, but he only wished to answer her as well as give her the fair warning of his brother just in case he decided to go for her blood during anytime she was alone. He didn't want to lose another friend thats for sure. "O' he is about last I knew sixteen. And, as well I do understand. I was just warning you about him in my details just in case he wants to come after you," he told her his eyes narrowing down on her with his white snow like eyes on her own. "Just in case," he said with a nod to himself before pulling away his eyes darting around a bit as he scanned the area for any signs of life that might be lurking in the shadow depths. "Can you show me to the other experiments so I can be treated there. In half form I feel only half the pain I would be with my animal as well as human. So with my side starting to really ache, my mind tells me human it must be hurting alot worse." He said scanning the ground just as a twig snapped his eyes darting to it before a werid three legged bunny hopped by weridly with blood dripping from its side as it dissapeared into the under brush. Werid animals.

. : | : . Alec . : | : .

His mind wasn't fully understanding what was going on, she was talking but... her words weren't making sense to him. The way she was talking made him more confused. Alec tried to concentrate on what she was saying. His ears rang and his vision blurred before him as he stared over at her. A sick feeling washed over him, making his eyes snap shut and another groan escape his throat. Who was Lew talking to? The churning in his stomach didn't quit even as he rolled onto his knees and planted his hands on the ground in front of him. His breathing was fine, still shallow, but fine. He felt terribly warm, like a heat wave was passing over the land. He didn't try and stand, he knew better then that. For some reason he just felt plain sick. Digging his fingers into the hard ground beneath him, Alec tried to keep his vision focused on something. Right now that was Lew and that Misty man. Was that who she was talking to? He couldn't begin to understand. From all the smoke that was rising from his mouth and nose with every breath, he could guess what was making him sick. Even with his mind figuring this out, he felt the feeling again in his stomach. Lifting a hand off the ground, he hugged his belly tightly, not liking the sick feeling that was spreading.
The man laughed at her attempts to make him feel bad about himself. He outstretched his hand towards the girl and disippeared into the wind. His body was un-detectable after being tore apart by the air. "You'll have to make a choice, fight me or take care of your sick friend. He seems to be getting worse as we speak." The words came to Lulu by the wind, trailing close to her before the last words ended on a drifting note. A cloud of grey swirled around Alec again, covering his head and shoulders before spreading out again. The smoke floated for a few moments before traveling to a hillside and becoming more solid once more. Vapors swirled around the man as he grinned again at Lew, happy that his plan was working. "My dear, I'm made of poison. I can control your little friend's flames. You know what that means? Smoke poisoning. It's already working it's way into your lungs. You have your choice to make, fight me and probably lose, or save your 'lover'? It's a simple choice my dear. I'll go on to later attack you again, and sometime soon I'll get that black heart of yours. I'll find all of you powerful little lab rats and kill you off. One. By. One." His hand shot out at the end of the last sentence, making more smoke crawl around Alec thickly before despersing.
Alec, confused by the event's unfolding tried to keep still as he felt his breath leave him. He didn't make a sound when he saw smoke circle over him, blocking out his vision. That he was use to, not being able to see. What felt odd was having his air constantly driven from his lungs and yet being able to breath in ashes and smoke. Eventually he collapsed onto the ground, his knees giving way.

Elizabeth's eyes followed the bunny as it hopped away. The boy was sixteen? How old was Milo then? She nodded at his words, slowly standing and walking over to him. "Your brother is sixteen, how old are you then?" Crouching at his side again, she wondering about it for a moment. He wanted to be taken back to the labs and to the experiments, well, she would take him there in a moment. For now though, she wanted to know just a few things. "What sort of tattoo's does your brother have? You mentioned something about them earlier, I don't understand." Her voice was soft, as if worried someone might over hear them. There was no one out there, she knew that, but there were camera's all over the place out here. She wanted out of here, to be free, but that could come later. Right now needed to know about his brother and why he seemed to be a threat.
Her eyes cast slowly around, searching for anything out of the ordinary. Tall, scraggley trees dotted her vision with their large branches and bushy grass-green leaves. One branch came over her to end just above her head. The leaves that were connected to it were brushed with dying leaves as well as healthy ones. Softly Liz shut her eyes and listened to the wind whistle through the large leaves. There was always something about the wind that made her calm. Even when worried about this Ratchet guy, she was happily calm about things.

Fought against life, I struggle to hold on the things I care most about.

Lew so much wanted to go rip that mist person in two with her claws to where she would feel his sink under all that mist, but as so much as she wanted to admit he was right in a way. With a turn towards Alec her eyes of black folded away to her regular blue sea ones which remained sad as she stood there seeing him suffer in pain while she did her best to fight off the attacker. With her eyes blinking back anger from again wanting to attack him she wished it where true. She wished she could have never lived that day at her house so that all these horrible things couldn't have happened to other people. There was a reason her sister was dead, her mother, and her father all in one day, Alec too might die, and even if the mister was true about this all she would die as well along with whatever experiments where out there. Lifting her eyes up she walked over to Alec just as he began to fall onto the emerald green grass ground, but lucky from her speed of a wolf she caught him easy just as he began to fall in her hands. Her hands then held him gently with his sickly pale face close her cheek feeling his breath against her own though unable to tell what it smelt like for her own soft warm tears blocked the scent as they rolled down her cheeks in tiny streams of water. She cried softly against his face her voice pained as she talked to Black her only friend right now it seemed that would be there right now when Alec was under.
Black, I am sorry to say, but I wish I never lived. She told him her voice hurtinside her mind, and even Black sighed before speak his comfort edging its way into her sadness.
Its alright. I understand you blame yourself, but right now crying its not the way to do things. Plus it clouds up for vision. Even if the mister which I doubt is that much of a threat to you as of right now is telling the truth, I can be removed. I am apart of your soul, so I doubt he can even take that. So listen okay? Heal Alec, find the others, and lets finish this all alright. But stop your cries. He spoke out like a father would against a childs tears to help him reach a goal. Black did feel like that to her, but he was right about what he said. She needed to get her head back to focus on the problem at hand which was going into dangerous levels with the mister attacking Alec, and her future friends like they where nothing. What could she do if he could just mist like that to attack them with posion like a snake, and with her even snapping it harmed herself. Her body misted as well, but she could barely control where as well as how much, but one things for sure she was not going to let him have the fun while they suffered.
Not know what else to do to heal Alec other then keep him warm she tryed another thing she learned form her parents a long time ago. Tilting his neck upward towards her she gently pressed her lips down onto his own breathing in whatever fresh air she had into his lungs with her own. She hoped maybe with this Alec might wake again from his pain, but without him she would not be able to much with her love like this. Removing her lips she took in another deep breath of the sky air before pressing her lips against his to breath in air into his lungs, and she did that another time before her body began to grow tired against the day to fall against the grass to start up at the sunny sky that felt anything but to her.

His head turned as she came up beside him his feet shifting in the grass though he only sighed gently when she asked the question. "I am much older. He and I are both the age we say we are when we got our powers. My brother is sixteen, but from his vampire traits, and other mutations I have no idea how old his he anymore. I might be say 200 years old, and he might be close to 198. As well you might ask how we live so long? Well, thats a different topic that I must keep secret," he said turning his eyes away from her to avoid her gaze of her eyes. Of course he never told anyone he was over a good hundred years of age, neither his brother, but it felt better to know at least someone knew his regular age as well as time of birth as well. With her voice again speaking up his eyes blinked gently kind of a bit annoyed now by her questions that seemed to always result in pain from memories.
"His tattoo's are what keeps him normal, as well as able to be unmutated by other forms of life that he might drink normally. Though without then he is seriously dangerous enough to kill anything he wants, but the forms of tattoo's and how they look I can't tell you," he said with a slight close of his eyes. "I just can't tell you all. I am sorry," he told her with a turn of his head to face her own. His eyes inside where sad and even pained, but he was right when he said he couldn't tell more. He mustn't.

. : | : . Alec . : | : .

Alec couldn't very well feel anything happening and yet he could tell someone was there. Hovering over him as if he was hurt or in danger. A headache was pouding away at his skull. Each ache took him farther and farther from his senses. In a matter of seconds he was disoriented, not able to even think straight. Cool air was blown into his lungs. He wasn't even able to focuse on how it had come upon him, he just wanted more. Just before he was driven mad by need of air, another small puff of air reached his lungs. A ttotal of three times it happened before he could tell that his source of breathing was gone. He tried to draw a breath in by himself. The result was a success, though it scratched his throat to breath through his mouth. Not bothering to open his eyes or to find out what had happened, Alec just kept up with his breathing. It wasn't exactly 'stable' at the moment.
Finally, when he thought that he could breath normally without having to force himself to, he cracked an eyelid open to pere around. What had happened, why was he on the ground? Better yet, why was Lew beside him looking as if she'd just seen death? He rose a hand up towards her. It was shaking- which was odd for him. Carefully he dropped it back onto the grass beside him. Whatever had just went down left him incredibly weak. Feeling the grass beneath his arm, Alec tried not to be too concerned about it all. This was- it was just what it was. Nothing could really stop things from happening if they were meant to. He switched his now fully open eyes to the sky. The colors splayed across the sky, dodging around big fluffy clouds and around the bright yellow sun. Cocking his head to the side, he gazed over it all. The air around him had a funny scent to it. He pressed his lips closed for a moment before releasing a puff of breath. His breath held traces of smoke the curled back towards his neck. A coughing fit over-took him as he laid there. The hand in the grass came up to rest it's fingertips softly on the hollow of his neck. He brought his other arm around to cover his mouth as he coughed. It made him light headed from not being able to breath again. Gasping for air in between each cough he wove his left hand's finger into his hair behind his ear. When the coughing fit ended, Alec let his eyes flutter close again. The headache was back, pounding at his temples. He pulled the hand at his neck away again, letting it drop back onto the ground. "Ar-ar- y-you O.K-k?" Alec turned his head to looked over at her. His hair was falling into one eye, the blond still near-white with darker black shades running through it. He winced though, knowing his voice was barely able to get the words out between breaths.

. : | : . Elizabeth . : | : .

Planting a knee on the ground, she softly leaned on it with an elbow. The same elbow propped up her chin and head. Liz gazed at him, her eyes searching his body when he looked away from her. He seemed a bit tense, espiecally when talking when about his little brother. Jittering slightly, she reached her free hand out to steady herself. "Alright, I guess we can go back to the labs now if you'd like?" Keeping herself upright by her fingertips, she let her eyes slip back over to him. The fact that he could change into an Alligator still creeped her out a little. She stood up straight then, her knees giving a small 'pop' sound. Her eyes drifted sky-ward before landing back on Milo. Hopefully he'd be up for heading to the other experiments now. If not? She wasn't actually sure of the answer to that question. Again her eyes dipped towards the sky. It was a rather clear day, barely any clouds running across the blue to disrupt the suns warm rays. She blinked her eyes slowly, glad that for the moment nothing wrong had happened too badly. Grace was probably still dying and probably the only one who cared was herself, Shawn, and Jake. No one was even around to witness the poor girl bleeding out to death. Her eyes flicked open quickly. Clenching her fists she looked to Milo and cross her hands over her chest. Liz was ready to get a move on, she didn't want to wait for anybody else. perhaps they could even make it to Grace before anything bad happened. Like Shawn loosing it, or someone going to attack them while the girl was hurt. She really didn't want to think of scenaryios where people were hurt. Not after hearing about Milo's brother Ratchet and his 'vampire' traits.

Fought against life, I struggle to hold on the things I care most about.

Lifting her face away from Alec's grey ashed face she turned her head upward at the sun that shined above there heads. Though even with its bright glee it could shine down on many humans in the city she was born at, today it did nothing but show only true joy was worked for and never earned like all the rest with simple lives. They didn't have to face death or false lies by a mister who liked watch you suffer. They didn't have to go find others like themselves, or a dragon man who wants your heart, or even live to see another day on her so small clock. It was as if nothign could cheer her up anymore. Not Black, not Alec or his smile, it only remained her of pain each time things had to resort to this. Removing a hand that was placed near the back of his ear she lifted her left hand to wip at her teared eyes gently with the back of the dirty looking hand.
Then as she looked down at Alec again she seen with a soft breath of sences he was alright again with his breathing. Even if it was a bit irregular in motion, she was glad with all her sences he was at least gulpign in air into his lungs without her help which ment he was recovering. Then as she watched him some more with her own hair of brown drapping over her shoulders he seem very carefully on one of his eyes sort of twitch before raising up to pere around himself before at her as though he was trying to find out why again he was on the ground. Raising a hand up towards her she noticed it shaking like a leaf in the wind. Her own hand reached downward to wrap itself into the hand as it dropped back onto the groudn with her own falling down with it. He was weak.
Not soon later he had both his eyes opened as well as his head tilting on her leg towards around them as he gazed at the landscaping. Nothing had changed beside the fact a large monster of a elk body layed nearby in the bushes with horns sticking out in white against the green foliage, but besides that only the air seemed different with ever intake of breath in her nose. It was ashed as though smoke lingered here. She didn't like the smell, and would move quickly now if Alec wasn't so weak, but for now she dealt with the small breaths of air in till he would get up form this state to walk again. Then just as she lost herself in the idea Alec began to cough. Not like small, but like a fit of coughs as smoke came form each and her worry face came again onto her face as she bent her head over his own to speak gently into his ear. "Alec?" she asked as he stopped his fit with a close of his eyes against the sun which made her more angry at the mister. Her hands clenched at her sides beside her legs as even they began to turn black at her fingertips. She would kill him, and she didn't care how it would be getting done, she would destory him and enjoy his screams for what he had done to them both. Suddenly his voice ringed out form his lips in a weak shudder like voice, but at least he was speaking which was improvement. "Fine. I guess. That dude came and attacked yu while you slept, and now even though I wanted to kill him he posioned me as well. He wants all of us dead. All the experiments, and my black heart as well, but he did attack you when I went to find food. Question is. Can you get up or walk? Are you alright still?" she asked him with her hair coming down from her shoulders to fall on the sides of Alec's face as though like blinds to block out the sunlight.

Rachet Nixon

Rahcet hid in the trees above Liz which was her name as well as Milo who was easily cunning her into liking him which already rachet knew was no good. Milo was telling lies to Liz about himself as some freaky monster vampire which would kill them both by sucking there blood which he must say was gross, and downright nasty to take blood. Milo as well included he was nice as well as kind including caring to show Liz he was no harm, but soon he knew she would go against Milo to see a monster he was. He would rip her to shreds in no time at all though with Rahcte he knew even against his own older brother he had to save a life like usually so with his own breath he bellowed out smoke coming down from the trees to cover the area in under a few seconds. Rachet bent down onto the branch to hear it moan with pain of his weight, but he ignored it as he leaped from the tree to let his fin of a great white shark dig into the tree bark behide him to dose his fall. He landed easily with little pain, and while his brother was screaming out from Liz to run he came up behide her with a snicker to wrap his arm around her waist and another hand to cover her mouth as he dragged her away from Milo. With his good sence of eyesight as well as his own power he could see easily though the smoke he bellowed out from his lungs. So in a few seconds from the grab he was out into the forest with a easily walk towards where he desired to take Liz, and a good length awat from Milo.
His sword clashing against hsi side made soft bangs as he walked with Liz in his hands as little more then a weight as he dragged her across the forest grounds. His form he owned now was yellow haired, mean eyes, long jagged teeth pulled up into a smile of cruel looks, and skin as though a baby would own, but nothing could stab into. He liked this form better then the all one human form he must use each time out in public like his father told, or even in the beach where his father rested at, but now free in the woods he owned hsi form happy as he walked towards the nearest river which a waterfall to see and already in his ears he could hear its melody playing against the water below it.

. : | : . Alec . : | : .

Alec looked up into her face, wondering at her words. He felt alright now that he could breath more easily. Looking into her eyes though, he could see her worry in her blue orbitals. Softly his hands came up to press on either side of her head. His fingers slipped through her silky hair as he smiled just the smallest bit at her. "Lew- Calm down." Locking his eyes on hers he raised an eyebrow at her, wondering what was going inside of that head of hers. He let go of her head in order to place his hands on the grass to either side of him. Taking a deep, forceful breath Alec pushed himself into a sitting position. Even there he was shaking just the slightest bit. He was obviously still weak, yet he was making himself stand even with the thought. Feet firm on the packed dirt, he gently swayed from side to side, eyes the slightest bit dizzy. "See?" He chuckled lightly, breath coming a bit faster now that he was on his feet. His eyes looked around him, again taking in the sight of the trees and grass, the building and the new elk body laying out by some pushes. He stared at the body the animal, wondering as to whether or not Lew had killed it or found it. Most likey she had killed it, judging from the blood trailing over it. He was glad when he didn't get dizzy from the sight of an animals blood. So it was just his own blood that sent him crazy. Alec gently lifted a hand to his aching head, splaying his fingers through his hair that clung to his hand from sweat. A man had attacked them? He nibbled his bottom lip, tearing dead skin off his lip until it started to bleed bright red. His tongue softly rest on the newly opened spot as his mind worked away. There hadn't been anything odd other then a different scent in the air when he'd fallen asleep. Was that it? Had he breathed it in and that had made him this weak? Pursing his lips Alec turned back to Lew. His eyes had a familiar flash of anger to them that so often was held in them. "Where'd he- go?" Breath still weak he had to quickly breath out the last word before gulping in a large breath. Shaking his head at his own weakness, he let his eyes turn to look around them. There was no traces that anyone but the two of them and that Elk had ever been there.

. : | : . Elizabeth . : | : .

Her head snapped upwards at the sight of smoke covering the area around her. It was everywhere, curving around trees and weaving through bushes branches, even curled around her own body. Her eyes searched, trying to find the pinpoint of where the smoke was coming from. She didn't under stand the words Milo was screaming to her. Why run? Again she tried her best to see what he was talking about. Then she felt it, a hand snaking out to grab her waste and yet another covering her mouth. She almost on impulse started to squeal and yell. Her mouth pressed against his hand, trying her best to force her way from his grasp. Wiggling in his arms she constantly tried to ram her body into him, doing her best to put up a fight. Her ears could barely pick up a faint sound of water, though it was distant to her. Again she struggled against him, digging a foot into the ground, bitting his hand, anything she could think of that might work. Her body wiggled and pulled against him, doing her best to get out of his grasp. Her mind was screaming 'run', now taking in what Milo had been saying, but she couldn't. Not with him holding her. Tossing her head back so her hair was out of her face, Liz glared over her shoulder at him. Her lips moved beneath her hand, creating muffled words that none could hear clearly. She jerked away one last time, not at all liking his grissly looks.

Lulu Copper

Fought against life, I struggle to hold on the things I care most about.

Lifting his hands he pressed them up against the sides of her face that was still masked with worry upon the dark shades under her eyes, and the darkness of the blue sea inside the orb of her pupil though with his hands there she felt a bit better that he was returning to normal. His fingers which began to find there way into her rusty curly hair made her smile gently having the feeling of warmth return to her body now that he was fine once again. Softly he told her to calm down with his own eyes locking against her own, and which a slight blink of her eyes she pulled her head upward a bit to gaze around the area once again which barely moved sence the last time she seen it. Soon, letting go of her head her gaze jerked downward to see Alec push himself up from laying down to sitting down with his hands clenching the grass madly with his arms ahking inside her exam. Of course he would say he was fine when he still should rest, but she won't stop him if he wanted. If he wanted to walk she would let him. Firm feet placed on the dirt with slight swaying form side to side with his eyes slowly moving she stood up herself to raise a eyebrow at him. "You sure?" she asked him even though the chuckle did kind of help with her mood. Sighing she closed her eyes placing a slight finger of her left index against her center forehead to feel a soft point it which pain was radiating from with massive headaches that started to form from the air chemicals against her lungs affecting her mind. Her's and Black's which is why he sent the headaches telling her to move in the best way possible. Suddenly, Alec turned madly towards her with his eyes flashing off there anger inside his orbs making her even a bit nervous to what was in his mind. Now she understood after a few seconds, and her rage from before came dripping back into her tone making it seem like two was talking instead of herself. "He gave me a choice. Fight him, or save you form his attack, and no deal I knew I couldn't lose you. Though the pain that went though my finger nails with desire of opening him apart killed me. Though, I have no idea where he went no doubt going to head after the other experiments for his little show of power before having more fun with us," she said before her voice calmed down into normal tone once more before her head turned to Alec. "I hate him. I guess Black, wants to kill him as much as I do. O' yes I do," she said outloud with her finger nails longing into black razor like nails in front of her eyes. "Though, last I seen he stood on that hillside," she motioned over to the hilltop nearby before going,"With his toxic mist swirling around himself, and if his words are true. That will slowly kill me and you," she said with slight anger, but this time her voice stayed even though it had a slight hint inside the words of hunger though not for elk.

Rachet Nixon

Rachet was dragging her away from danger yet with her set midn on him as the danger she tryed everything a normal person could do with there hands almost chained to him in a way by his strength. Though, he was a bit pained by her digging her teeth into his hand he only growled out from his teeth pain as well as a glare down to look at her as his sword clattered against his body till he noticed her glaring at him. He couldn't help but grin as his claws on his nails dug a bit into his own flesh as they locked her hand in his firm grasp. "Come," he told her dragging her towards the bank, and then regreting this he knew he would he let her go to push her against the bank. With him free of holding her he know pulled his sword of shining gleaming moon silver to glitter against the afternoon sun towards her with a small grin as he placed it just above her chest where the hallow of her neck was placed as well placing the tip inches from her. "Dear, this can be done easy or hard. I prefer easy," he said with a shift of his sword towards the raging waterfall a good amount away though still spraying him with water by this distance. "Come on to the waterfall, and don't worry dear you will find its not so bad," he said with a slight smile then as if he was still upset by a sudden past memory he pulled his sword back a few inches from her neck and slid it back into his belt where the metal clashed again with his side thigh. He didn't want to be named the bad guy, but with her kicking, screaming, and biting his hand he had to get the point across that he came here for bussiness and nothing less then that. He had a order done by his boss, and if that was to bring him experiments for him then so be it it. He already went full on to the boss with his hate for the other master of this area called Alpha by his boss, but he knew his boss well enough to know good form bad here even with his own pack of watchdogs how looked the evil. Like him. Sighing he reached forward to offer at hand at the girl just in case she was still on the dirt, and with a slight shake of his now disspearing color skin to a nice tanned boy, and the hair to black he gave off his smile once more seeing the teeth reform back into human teeth as well as his hands. "Please. I am not your foe, but I was given a order to find you, and I must. So please come with me. I promise I will not harm you, and neither my boss, but please come. But, if you refuse I must drag you again dear," he told her with his sword as if a bird making a note of its postion with a clatter against his thigh bone again making it sound like hard skin with a slap each time.
