Ended :)

[Rose.]

Rose frowned at Ivan, the plead in his voice made her want to drop to the floor and sleep guiltily. Frowning, she nodded. "Fine, then-" Her eyes widened as she heard Steph's words. She completely froze, the hand that was entwined with Ivan's stiffened and she didn't blink. Erik was dead? She'd known Steph and Erik before they'd become experiments, and she'd nearly fallen for him a few times. Now that she'd met Ivan, her heart belonged to him. But, Erik had been one of her good friends. As the thought of him being gone ran through her mind, she managed to lift her head up to Steph and shake it ever-so-slightly. "Steph," She paused, to swallow the lump that had risen in her throat, "Please tell me that you're joking..." Her voice was barely a whisper as she spoke to her best friend. There was only a few things that could make Rose cry and feel shattered, normally she was brave, but when it came to things like death and loss. She breaks down completely. And even when she tries to stay strong about these things, she'll be lifeless for sometimes days as she tries to bring herself back together. "...Please," She re-peated to her, her eyes welling with tears slightly.

((>.< Nothing to write for Charlie or Zack really.))

Merr watched as Steph told Rose that Erik was dead. Immediately several questions formed in his mind. Who was he? What had happened to him? By whom? He padded up to Rose, whining as he placed his paw on her back. "It'll be okay. He has moved on, to a better place..." He hung his head, knowing what he said was lies... He had been there, death for him had just been pain and nothing else... Although maybe this Erik kid was better than him? Maybe he would go to a better place...

Ebony stopped, she could see Merr, Rose, that other girl and more importantly, Ivan. A smirk played on her lips as she watched Rose getting upset. She looked at Merr whatever had happened to him, she had no idea. Slinking into the shadows, she would get Ivan this time. She shifted into air and started to spread herself out, drawing closer to Ivan.

[Solanum]

Merr snarled as he looked around, a scent reaching his finely tuned nose. But where was it coming from? Where was she? God he hated this... "Ebony... Come out, come out wherever you are... I have a proposition for you. If you'll speak with me in private, face to face...." He held his head high, his lips curling into a slight snarl.

[Crabbiey]

"You'll do what?" Ebony's voice echoed from all directions "If it's a fight, drop it." It was followed by rather creepy laughter before going dead silent.

[Solanum]

Merr shook his head. "No Ebony. I'm tired of fighting. I'm asking to join you..." He looked around, frowning at the others. He had enough of running, of fighting, of everything... He wanted to quit it.

[Crabbiey]

"Why?" Ebony asked, she was slowly getting closer to Ivan, but her voice made her virtually impossible to place.

[Solanum]

Merr shrugged. "Do I need a reason? I'm tired of it all... I don't want to run, nor fight. So I thought, hey, they don't really care about my feelings..." He glanced over at Ami and Chase, his ears drooping. "So... You want me, or do I have to spend the rest of my unlimited lifespan hunting you down?" He raised his brow, his frown growing stronger.

[Rose.]

Rose completely spaced out, Merr and Ebony's voices were faint in the back of her mind as she stared motionless at Steph. Wait, Ebony?... It took her a few moments to process that Ebony was indeed present. Ivan. The thought of his name made her snap back out of her mind and look around. She felt so vunerable in human form, but she wouldn't phase just yet. Narrowing her blue eyes she scanned the trees around them quickly. "Merr," She said, her voice still full of pain. "Where is she?" If she was in wolf form she'd be able to tell, but in human form, she was having trouble doing so. And Merr would know that. Her eyes widened at Merr's next words, her head slowly turning to him. "No! You can't!" She squeaked in her pained voice. Letting the hand that was entwined with Ivan's go and taking a few steps back so she phased into a massive black wolf. Her blue eyes widened even more as she sensed Ebony... and she was geetting closer to Ivan. Snarling, she padded back to Ivan and stood infront of him. Her eyes frantically darting around. Merr's words stabbed her, what was he saying?!

[forbidden.]

Steph shook her head as she moved closer to Rose, "No. It's true..." She whispered, trying to remember what Zack had said, "H-He was angry...At you...And something happened between him and Za-" Her knees suddenly gave way and she fell to the ground sobbing. She didn't want to talk about Zack. She wanted to forget him, forget everything about him. She wiped her cheek with the back of her hand and looked back up at Rose. "Zack killed him." She choked out, her gaze locked on Rose's. She tuned back in to what was going on around her and shuddered at the mention of Ebony, "No. No..." She whispered shaking her head furiously.
