Rylan was confused for a moment when boy grabbed her notepad, but grinned when she realized he put down his own greeting. She quickly wrote down an explanation for said notepad, “I can’t speak so I usually talk through writing!” [i]Awesome![/i] She thought, [i]I’m sure we all could get along fine! Dante seems like a cool person![/i] She found herself lucky she picked a nice vampire, rather than the ones she was once warned about, the ones who weren’t, well, not so nice. She shook her head, writing down, “Nope! This is my first time here!” and showed him her notepad briefly.

Rylan noticed Mehmet wanting her to stay closer to the pack, and he appeared rather on edge. Rylan signed a confirmation of understanding. Ears perk, and eyes attentive, she tried her best to be ready for anything. She held up a finger to Dante, excusing herself for a moment. She wrote down, “Careful, guys! Be on your toes!” And held it up, making sure her pack mates were able to read it. Rylan held up a thumb up once everyone had read her message and turned back the nice vampire guy. 

Ironically, however, Rylan was caught off guard herself. There was a sudden flash of movement, and in the corner of her eye, she had just noticed a vampire in the air, weapon poised for the kill. Out of fear and instinct, she couldn’t help but become her wolf form, her darkly furred self on her haunches as she readied to launch herself at the attacker. Although she wasn’t quick enough as someone beat her to it, the coven leader’s right hand. Nathaniel, or something like that? That didn’t matter, but what did matter would be he had not only saved them, but also had brutally killed one of his own. 

Rylan shook her head, trying to get rid of the image of the events that had just happened, feeling rather sick of the sight that was once someone. She wasn’t sure how to feel, as whoever that was was going to kill them and maybe killing him was the best choice. Rylan stepped back a few steps, staying her in beast form as she no longer felt safe in this place, despite the apologies given to her by Dante. She shook her once more as a response, feeling trapped. 

“[b]We have to get out of here.[/b]” Rylan said telepathically, sending the message to the other wolves as she obviously couldn’t use her notepad at the moment. This joining of both groups wouldn’t work, especially if everyone is so eager to attack each other. She noticed some of her pack had followed her lead and changed their forms. It probably wasn’t the best move, and she should have controlled her instinct, but now Rylan was much more alert than when she was human. 

There was then the sound of a door slamming open, and the ferocious sounds of their Alpha noticing what had transpired. Rylan flinched, becoming submissive as to not further anger Mehmet. It grew quiet fast as he expected an answer then and there. As Rylan was put in charge of the pack for that short while, she figured it was her responsibility. 

“[b]It wasn’t anyone of us![/b]” Rylan said quickly “[b]He was going to attack us, but then that Nathaniel guy saved us! He used that fledgling as an example of those who break this treaty![/b]” Rylan explained further with her telepathy, sounding rather panicked over the situation. She still couldn’t believe what had happened. She wasn’t sure what she would have done if one of their own had tried to attack, but could she really kill a member of her pack? A member of her family?
