Between gasps for breath, Vera caught the sound of Destin's quiet sobs and sighed. As her energy began to dwindle, she winced as the pain from her injury caught up to her where Kianna had hurt her leg. She managed to keep in pace with Fabine but knew she'd better see a healer back at camp.

Reina had set down a pair of pants when she saw Ptelea's form enter the room. The sobbing girl pulled at Reina's emotions and she pulls her closer. "Oh God, not again! What is with those boys?!" She frowns, holding onto her tightly. Her face was that of deep concern for the young girl. "Ptelea, what happened?"

Kianna continued to chase after them, her shoulder affecting her pace a decent amount. "Destin! I'm going to get you!" She shouts, following close behind. She saw their shapes farther off as she tried to catch up.

Fabine curses loudly. He glances back, seeing Kianna. He looks to Vera. "Still your mission." He says firmly, holding tight onto Destin. He waits for further instruction.

"Get him back to camp, she wouldn't dare follow you there," Vera shouted at him. She chose instead to veer off to the side and wait for Kianna, readying her bow and taking aim, muttering her desire for payback.

Fabine nods "Sorry kid, you're not going back htere. Never going to see that pretty girlfriend of yours." He sneers, quickening his pace again. He glances back. "You better be right about this!" He shouts, hoping Kianna would think he was talking to her. He hears the river up ahead and heads towards the shallower part,knowing he couldn't jump with the kid on his back.

Kianna sees Vera and narrows her eyes, veering to the side as she sees her let the arrow fly. She couldn't get hit in the legs again. "Where's Destin?!" She snarls, fully prepared to maul Vera. She continued moving at full speed towards the Brom. She glanced to look for Fabine.

"It's the boys. They get away with everything around here." Reina says, a frown on her face. "Haven't you gone to see Dem? Why can't you stay with him?" She asks, wiping the girls tears and hair out of her face.

Xavier crouches down. "Hey, look at me." He says gently, holding a hand out.

Leo didn't for a momemt, but inevitably did. He looked at Xavier, glancing at his hand as he turned back into a boy.

"Hmm..." Reina looks at her friend's wounds and sighs sadly. "You need to get away from here. You should go find Ambrose." She says softly. "You'd probably do better doing that than waiting around for one of them to hurt you worse than this. Any idea of where he went?" Reina presses her palm on Ptelea's back, trying to comfort her.

<Snipped quote by wallaberry>

"I don't know where he is!" Ptelea cries, whimpering. "He ran away remember? Three years ago. He left us...' Tears well in her eyes again. "He said back to where Dem is, but further...he wanted to be with people like us..." She covers her mouth quickly, hoping Reina didn't ask any questions. Ambrose had said her shifting was a secret and people would hurt her if she told.

"Dem should be able to help, if he actually tried." Reina then tilts her head as Ptelea holds her mouth closed. "What do you mean, like you guys?" She looked slightly confused. She rubs Ptelea's back gently.

Kianna snorts and nears Vera, lunging for the same leg. Her shoulder burned but the adrenaline she was feeling eased it some. It's a surprise he hasn't tried leaving sooner, she thinks to herself.

Kianna felt a second arrow hit her, and she snarled once more. She shook off the impact and narrowed her eyes. She's trying to waste my time, she thought to herself, glancing around for Fabine again. Before Vera could hit her again she changes her direction and heads for the river.

Reina nods, "Oh, I guess you have a point." She looks down at Ptelea before speaking again. "You really should leave... you should go talk to Dem and find out a plan. This place isn't for you."
