+The Darkest Night In A City+ Semi-Lit + Invitational :3

[-Ethereal-Catalyst-]

Cayen snorted and snapped up a floor board that seemed looser than the others. He had completely forgotten to tell Sarah about this. When I played out here with Alex, we sometimes slept here too. There's a lighter under this board, he told her. He had needed to keep Alex warm at night, even in late summer for the nights had always been a bit too cold for him. With a snort he sat down and watched the one whom he cared about do actual work...Haha....

This is where I must stop. Char shall not wake for many a day. I can't be human without her influence, and so I must leave you two to retrieve him, Lupa said with an unhappy sigh. She would follow them through the trees, but she had to stay out of sight of the human populace. They were often full of malice and spite, not to mention contempt for her kind. Montreal was a far kinder city to her kind. They seemed...more used to them.

Sarah watched with an arched brow as Cayen lifted a floor board, not really understanding what he was doing. At his little memoir, Sarah smiled and gave a nod. She moves foward, and reaches under the board, feeling around for a lighter. After a few moments of searching, Sarah pulls out her hand, holding a lighter. Got it. She chuckled, then looked down at the wood. Adjusting the wood so that the whole shed wouldn't burn, Sarah sets flame to a small stick before placing it on top of the wood pile, the flame beginning to spread to the other slabs of wood.

Derek's lupine gazes over at Lupa, letting out a soft whine. He didn't wish to leave his mates side, as they haven't been seperated in days since they became mates. It was natural for him to be uneasy when it came to leaving his mate, even temporarily. We'll be quick, and I will fill you in on what happens in the city, since something interesting is bound to happen. He grunts, giving Lupa's muzzle a gentle lick. Gazing over at Gabe's lupine, he lets out a low grunt, his face growing solemn once again. You ready to get down there and get Gabe?

[-Ethereal-Catalyst-]

Cayen laid back down again, panting softly as he watched the wood begin to glow with the heat of the flame. The wood was old and it burned easily, the flames licking up it greedily. They were like little monsters, taking all the wood had to offer for them and then dying anyways when their source of power ran out. Not so different from humans. You should suggest to the rest of the pack that you make a more..wild home. Something less fancy, the wolf growled in his normal monotone. He would probably end up living in the woods or at least sleeping in it now anyways.

Lupa simply shrugged her shoulders and returned the lick to Derek's face before turning tail and bolting out of the immediate area, into the cover of the night time. Her mate would have to clear things up, but two or three males in one area was never a good idea. It almost always ended in a fight, so she would wait and watch. She would circle and find his scent. He couldn't be too far away into the city for her to simply spot, could he? Well at least she hoped not.

Soon, the heat from the flames was dancing along Sarah's skin, embracing her with a blanket of warmth. Her shivering stopped completely, and already, Sarah felt much better. "Finally.." She murmured, hugging her knees to her chest as she let out a content sigh. Aniera isn't doing so well, Sarafina, her lupine suddenly piped up, and Sarah did indeed sense that Ani was slipping from their grasps. Not dying but.. just becoming disoriented. A worried grunt slipped past Sarah's vocals as she glanced in the direction of the rest of the pack, not knowing if they were fine or not.

Derek and his lupine watched as Lupa bolted into the woods, and they let out a soft rumble as she departed into the woods. His rumbles ceased when he turned back around to face Gabe's lupine, his tail lashing from side to side. Even with this distance from the pack, he can still sense Ani and the others.. Ani was quickly becoming more dull. Let's go now, he rumbled, feeling Derek want to wait for Gabe's lupine's signal to shift back and go into the city.

Gabe drifted back slightly to let Aladar to take over and change into his human form, We need to hurry Aladar. Gabe's wolf said as he drifted back, Aladar looked at Derek for a moment then began to jog. He needed to find Gabe and give him back his wolf or they would lose Ani forever. Aladar followed Gabe's pull it got a little stronger the further they went into the city, he could see how some people would look at him and Derek. He knew they had an aura that was dangerous and what not and the humans reacted to it even if they didn't really know that they did. He slowed to a semi fast walk as he didn't want to cause to much attention to himself, he looked at Derek again hoping that he could control himself around the humans. "You okay?" he asked as he looked around trying to see if he could see Gabe. He saw a construction site not far from where they were, he could feel the pull pulling him there. "Gabe's over there." He said but he didn't know exactly where as the pull would only bring him within 50 feet of him.

Brea felt a little cooler but the cold of outside wasn't doing a thing, she felt as if someone threw her into the fire. She bit her lip until she drew blood, but she didn't know she did as the burning that was running through her was to much. She felt Cyrus's nudge and felt sort of glad that he was close but at the same time he was seeing her at her worst and she felt bad that he had to see all this and try to help her. "I'm sorry." she said as she wiggled slightly.

[delete please-]

With Derek's approval, the lupine shifted back into humane form, allowing Derek to regain control. Running a hand through his hair, knowing that he wouldn't be able to last long around humans, Derek followed behind Aladar, his eyes peeled for any sign of Gabe. Ani was only drifting further away, but Derek couldn't sense how long until she was completely gone. "Dammit.. She's drifting away.. Where the damn is Gabe?" Derek growled as he tried to avoid focusing on the humans. Seeing the construction sight, Derek didn't hesitate and dashed across the street, entering the site. "Gabe! Get over here!" He called out, hoping that the male would come out and come to them..

Cyrus shook his head at her apology, frowning a bit. No, don't be.. I should be sorry.. I was the one who let you go face the hunters when I shouldn't have.. He murmured, shivering a bit as a harsher wind blew, stinging his skin, but Cyrus ignored it all. He had to focus on helping Brea now, not worrying about himself being cold. Just as long as Brea was getting better and seeing tht she was alive, Cyrus was relieved. But the pain she was in.. He was trying his hardest to try and end it.

[[Poor Cyrus. xD He really should learn some healing stuff from Cayen. xD]]

[-Ethereal-Catalyst-]

With a sigh, Cayen-wolf stood up. The dawn hours were beginning and he would have enjoyed sleep more than anything else in the world. The sun had just crested the horizon and part of his pack was in jeopardy. They couldn't lose pack mother or pack sister. They were very important to the pack's structure and the death of a pack member could mean all of their downfalls. Come Sarah. We must venture back to the pack while the morning is still crisp. The snow has stopped for a short period of time and this is our only opportunity to get back, he told her and looked away. Knock her out Cyrus. Put her to sleep, out of her misery for a moment or two, he sent to Cyrus, hoping his wolf was present as always. Knocking out Brea would take her attentions away from her pain at least and it would help speed up her healing, even if only slightly so. Climb upon my back again Sarah. Your still too weak to make it very far and we are still a good long run from home, he told Sarah. They needed to get back unfortunately.

Lupa watched the other wolves' progress, her ears twitching at the noise. Soon enough she lost them to the city and her mate bond started to gradually fade, taking her general happiness with it. She began to pace like an angry bull as she became more anxious. Without the human in her to bring calm and level-headed wisdom to her, she was in trouble. She ran off into the woods, in search of prey to take off her edge of discomfort. Hunting was something she knew how to do well enough, even if it involved accidentally slaying two hunters...

Sarah pushed herself up onto her limbs, now sensing the pain that Brea was in. Cyrus's anger had elevated slightly at something that she didn't know about, but had died down quickly. It was Ani that Sarah was most concerned for, though. Yes.. Let's go, she murmured to Cayen, shaking the debris from her pants before staggering over to his side. Knowing that she was indeed still in a weak state, Sarah clumbers up onto Cayen's back, though it was a struggle to get on. "Well damn.." She muttered, obviously not pleased with her current state. Sarah gets a good, but still gentle, grip on Cayen, then let her thoughts trail onto a heart-broken Ani. How are we going to help Ani? Her external injuries shouldn't be a problem to heal, but its the internal wounds that I am concerned about. She's becoming disoriented.. She whined slightly, obviously worried for her packmaes.

--

Cyrus was in utter shock and what Cayen sent him. Damn it! You expect me to knock her out? What do I look like?! He growled immediatly, but then hushed up, knowing that what Cayen said is true. If Brea isn't concious, then she won't feel the pain. With a sigh, Cyrus leans down slightly, butting his head gently against hers. I'm sorry that I have to do this, but Cayen said it would ease your pain, he murmured to her before jabbing his hand onto the back of Brea's head, where even a somewhat gentle impact can knock a person out.

--

There was no feeling. Only the numbness that lingered within the shattered realm of Ani's heart. Unnoticed tears still leak from her eyes, the only pain she felt was the sudden throbbing of her heart. Connor.. Gabe.. Gone.. Ani's usually bright lime-green eyes were now a deep, dull shade of green, completely losing their light. She could no longer think. Nothing. Just sense her child within her arms, and another one with a comrade. Nothing else exists to Ani.

[my Lalia]

Aladar shook his head as he wasn't sure if Gabe would come out if someone was calling him, though he know that Derek couldn't be around humans for to much longer. He followed Derek into the construction site in search of Gabe, "Hey Derek, stay close to me. I don't want you to blow up on any of these people." He said as he walked up to a guy that looked like he was the manager of the site, he could feel something inside him want to crack and tear some of the humans apart that were around him but he had to find Gabe as he could feel Ani fading. "Hey do you know where Gabe Sully is? One of his family members is really sick and asking for him." He told the manager who nodded and went to go get Gabe, Aladar looked at Derek and smirked. "Gabe will most likely not come if we yell for him but if his human boss does I'm sure he'll follow." He said though it was a funny thought of Gabe following someone elses orders as he was the/is the alpha and the alpha wasn't one to take orders from anyone else.

Gabe looked up when his boss called him, "Yeah?" he asked as he walked up to his boss, he got a feeling it was bad news as the guy was usually in a happy or pleasant mood but at the moment he looked like death was on the door step.
"I just want to let you know you can have as much time as you need off." Gabe's boss said as he patted him on the shoulder.
Gabe looked at him a little confused until he saw Derek and Aladar standing where his boss usually stood, he lifted an eyebrow as he looked at the two. "What's going on?" He asked as his boss patted him on the shoulder one more time then walked away, he wasn't sure why the two were here but he wanted answers. He kepted his distance from Aladar though, he knew that he couldn't get his wolf back unless he wanted it but he was just going to keep his distance just in case.

[delete please-]

Derek found himself glaring at a few humans, but Aladar managed to get his attention away from them. "Sorry.. I'm just not that pleased with humans," He muttered, watching as Aladar went over to a man, which ended up being Gabe's boss. Gabe was soon within his line of sight, and Derek immediatly cut to the chase. "We need you back, Gabe. Connor wished for us to get you back at all costs, though he wanted Ani to do so. But Ani is becoming disoriented, and she herself wanted to get you back, but she was in no condition to go," He told him, tension making his frame stiff. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain within his head, something that notified him of something snapping.. Ani. She was losing it. "S***.." He growled, looking back in the direction of the pack.

--

Ani had released her grip on Persephone, and was now curled into a vulnerable position, writhing as the pain in her chest increased, as if someone was stabbing her right in the heart with knife. Soft breaths slipped past her limbs, but no emotion showed on her face. Just a blank, empty gaze, her eyes becoming duller than a picture in black and white. Suddenly, something wrenched inside her, which caused her to let out a sharp gasp of pain, but nothing more. She forced herself up onto her limbs, and staggered outside, not even thinking about where she was going.
