Juliet pranced through the forest, her head pounding. She stumbled and staggered, but kept going. She kept pace with the truck, her eyes filled with tears at the memories of her childhood. They consumed her, and she eventually collapsed, out cold.

Carlyle swirved to keep from hitting Juliet. But he kept on driving, unsure if they should turn around and help her or not. "Should we stop?"

Kierain's eyes went wide when the girl collapsed, he was rather surprised. He jumped out of the truck without answering, he was a bit distracted in that moment, and picked her up carefully. Running the distance he lost while picking Juliet up, he jumped back into the bed of the truck and lied her down gently next to Bella. It was a little crowded in the trunk now, but with Matthew and Carlyle in the cab he didn't have options. He didn't try to wake the girl up, she clearly needed rest and shouldn't be bothered. He whispered quietly,"I'm sorry." He didn't say antyhing else, he simply looked forward, his mind once again working to create a much better apology.

Bella, her thoughts churning, sits up slightly, griping the rim of the truck as Carlyle drives. With a grumble she pulls her self to sit beside Keirain her eyes studying him, she blushes a tad bit when he looks her way, dropping her eyes with a sigh. She wasn't one to know how to handle romantic situations, nor did she know many of the un-obvious signs of flirtation. Which was completely understandable seeming as she was raised by... well. Herself.
"Thanks for carrying me to the truck... and to answer your question, yes. We all have those issues. The younger we are the worse they are. They go away with time."
Without noticing it really, the two were quite close to each other.
Her eyes widen, as he jumps out. With a frown she looks down at Juliet, brushing her hair out of her face, nothing but concern displayed on her expression

Kierain looked down at Bella with a charming and bright smile, his eyes sparkiling at the sight of her's. He noticed her blush with a soft chuckle, trying to keep it back though it did no good. He noticed their proxitimy and didn't pull away, it wasn't exactly a bad thing in his mind. He said softly in a smooth, low voice,"No problem, it wasn't hard." He noticed how she was still a bit damp from the river with a frown, then decided to take matters into his hands. He pulled off his black sweat-shirt and handed it to her, saying,"You look cold." He thought about what she said, about being young and having problems with the mind. His eyebrows furrowed as he thought, it was difficult thinking through such a serious topic, but he managed well and it was becoming slightly easy.

||Matthew's eyes sparked as he climbed into the shotgun seat of Carlyle's truck, lost in the scenery as he scooched to the edge of the seat, pressing his thin frame against the door of the truck, not wanting to talk to anyone, and not knowing a single soul in the car. He looked around, confused as he felt the wright of the truck shift, and turned to see Keirin leap lithely from the bed of the truck to pick up Juliet, who in her deer form had collapsed on the ground. He frowned, worried for the safety of all the people around him. Looking at Carlyle, he unbuckled his seat belt and leaped out of the truck, dropping and rolling with his momentum before standing up and jogging instep with the truck. Looking at Bella, he taps her on the shoulder." Juliet can take my place in the cab, where it's warm," he murmured, easily matching the truck's easy roll. "Trust me, she will fare better in the warm cab," he said, blue eyes firm and sure. "I will run along the truck so that you two can have more room,"||

Juliet shifted to human form and rolled her head over to Bella, her eyes glazed and glassy. "Damn if I don't feel like an idiot." She got to her feet and shivered. "I'm fine. Really I am." She smiled and stuffed her hands in her pockets, walking along the road, her head and eyes downcast.

Carlyle frowned as the girl walked away. He turned the truck again and started to drive after everyone was back inside.

Bella flashes him a shiny white toothed smiled, pulling his hoodie over her head. she tries to make her hand appear out of the cuffs, but alas, they're too short for that. She blinks before bursting into self-suspended giggles. Having to roll her sleeves up. The sound is a bell like chime on the air. She looks up at him, her smile forming to a mischievous smirk.
"I find it hilarious that you're so much taller then I am, that I can't find my hands in this thing."
She lifts up her arms to him, to show him how much the fabric dangles over the ends of her hands. She glances at Mathew, smiling,
"Thanks Matt. I appreciate it." With an easy heave, she lifts Juliet into the cabin beside Carlyle.
She swings back around to sit down again, swallowing hard when her cheek brushes against his shoulder.
She runs her hand through her hair, her eyes widening, and blush deepening.

Kierain watched curiously as Matthew jumped out of the cab and listened to him as he offered to let Juliet move to the warm interior. He knew that she would refuse, but it was nice nevertheless. He said,"Juliet, you should take his offer. Your looking rather pale." He examined her face carefully, confident in his conclusion, then turned his eyes to the new kid. True, they were all new, but he was the most recent additon so that's simply how he thought of the man. He made sure to commit everyone's face to memory, and with his current "disability", it took some more time to do just that. His eyes wandered around his face for a moment, then moved to Bella's. He took in the blush, the beautiful eyes, and her long red hair. He chuckled at her statement, looking her up and down for a moment and said,"Well it look good on you, keep it." He then added with a laugh,"You can't chastize me for my height, I ought to be offended."

[hell_hound]

Juliet took her human form and blinked at Kierain. "Thanks for the advice." She whispered and climbed into the cab and clutched her head, gritting her teeth in pain. It felt like someone was shoving needles onto her brain and dripping acid into the wounds. Tears filled her eyes and she curled up, not touching anyone. Everyone here scared her. And no one but a couple of people had showed her compassion. She was probably the youngest in the group. But she didn't need anyone or anything from anybody, she decided.

Carlyle pulled into the parking lot of a large hotel several miles away. He smirked, his eyes flashing to Matt and away again. "We're here. Rooms're free and equipped with damn near anything anyone could want. Two to a room, though. For protection purposes."

|| Matthew nodded minutely, his eyes drifting from Keirin to Bella as she easily lifted Juliet into the cab and sat her down easily next to Carlyle. Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes and let his inner white tiger take over, and he felt himself shifting into the powerful, muscled and lithe body of a white tiger. He almost totally blended into the snow as his stripes were the only giveaway. His brilliant blue eyes clouded with worry, as he watched the sky darken. Taking a deep breath of the chill air, he growled, hearing another grating sound- that of another car. his nose wrinkled at the starched scent of a laboratory, and a hospital- Scientists! he thought in a panic. I have to make sure they don't find the others, he thought before pulling away at a steady run from the truck and turning back to go down the beat up dirt road into the night. As he ran, his brow furrowed deeper and he slowed slightly, seeing headlights up ahead. Before he could be seen, he pulled into the shadows, waiting for the truck to come closer. With a large, ear-ripping snarl, he leaped from the shadows and slammed onto the windshield of the car, ramming his large, clawed paws into it. The scientists cried out, and the truck swerved.||
