Divided We Fall

[Alice The Necrofox]

Griffin felt it.
"I have the will. I have the will to change. How do I do this exactly?"

[KittKat chunky~]

Lireal watched Griffin curiously... he really did seem resolute... with a slight grunt of pain she pushed herself into a crouching position, and then stood up, leaning against the cave wall....
"Well.... agh, that still hurts... well, all you gotta do is come into contact with one of us.... skin contact could work, but the best way is... well...."
She took a step away from the wall, breathing a sigh of relief when her rib gave her no pain...
"Mine or Lane's blood or saliva has to enter your blood stream... like we said, it WILL be painfull... and yeah, it is a bit gross to be honest"

[Artemis]

"Using blood insterad of saliva is believed to be more effective, but harder to achieve for obvious reasons.", Lane stated, eyes not coming off of Griffin.

[KittKat chunky~]

Lireal took a few more tentative steps, wincing ever so slightly, but maintaining her balance... once she reached the other side of the cave she leant against it, a feeling of relief.... She down at the bandaging, and then back up at Rachel...
"Looks like your quick thinking saved my life back there...."
With that, she continued to watch Lane and griffin...

"Well, we have something that might help... half a sec..."
Griffin turned and ran a few blocks to the nearest drugstore. He bought a package of clean needles, with several strange looks from the owner.
"Not going out to do drugs?"
Griffin payed and remarked, "No, much crazier."
He dashed back as fast as he could to the cave.
"I hope this works. You stick it into your skin and withdraw blood. Then I will inject it into mine. I bought a couple in case we mess up..."

[Mystique]

Rachel gave a nervous laugh and rubbed her arm "hehehe ... blood ... NEEDLES ... wonderful idea ..." She sat down a minute, trying no to think about it all too much "so uh, we gonna do it or what?"

[KittKat chunky~]

Lireal walked over and took one of the needles, eyeing it closely she looked from the needle, to her arm... Shuddering slightly she stuck the needle into her upper arm, and drew the blood... pulling the needle out she shrugged.... "I was always afraid of needles as a child... guess some things never change..." She held the small phial of blood up to the sunlight spilling into the cave, it was a warm crimson colour... so different from her light, silvery fur....

[Alice The Necrofox]

"Well... here goes nothing..." Griffin said. Motioning for Lireal to hand him the vial.

[KittKat chunky~]

Lireal looked from the vial, to Griffin, and back again several times... finally she walked over to him, and handed the vial over. She gave him a brief hug, wincing slightly at the pain in her rib...
"You'l pull through... you two saved my life i reckon... you gotta pull through...."
With that she smiled half heartedly, and stepped away from him she turned from the group, already drawing another vial of blood for Rachel if she decided to go through with it as well... if anyone where watching, they would have seen she was brushing away a single tear.... they had to pull through....

[Mystique]

Rachel gulped and started to play with her fingers, "uhm, Lireal, can i ask you something?" She pulled her to the side, out of the guys earshot "uhm, i dont kno how to say this but, if i dont make it and Griffin does, can you promise me you'll look after him?"

[KittKat chunky~]

Lireal looked into Rachel's eyes, and half smiled... You'l make it... you've got to make it... i owe you my life..." She paused, and looked back over at Griffin... "But if it means that much to you.... yes, i will..."
With that she embraced Rachel in a brief hug... tail flicking nervously...

[Artemis]

Lane just watched the entire process, not choosing to pick up a needle himself.  Something inside of him was screaming that he should at least put his blood out there, but something else that was much more subtle was flat out saying, "No".  Lane had decided to stick with the "No" unless they had asked for his blood, and come up with a reasonable reason as to why he should.

[Mystique]

"thank you" Rachel hugged her back and went over to the other side of the cave beside Griffin, "Ok, lets hurry up and get this show on the road" She prayed she would come out of this alive but if she didnt, at least she knew Griffin would be in safe hands.

[KittKat chunky~]

Lireal sat down hurriedly, feeling as if she wanted to throw up.... she chewed on her thumb nervously, rocking backwards and forwards ever so slightly as she watched Rachel walk back over to Griffin... she looked away, physically urging herself not to feel so sick.... her tail flicked in earnest as she looked up at Lane, he stood silent and resolute... she looked back down to the ground... wondering just what he thought of her... was she as bad as Lorazys had been?

[Alice The Necrofox]

"Well... here goes everything..." he said, taking in one more long look at Rachel.
"If I do die... i just want to say... I love you....."
Stuck the needle into his arm and pushed the plunger down. He never once took his eyes off of Rachel.

Then the pain hit. Like a train. Not too much, but a burning sensation all over his body. He fell to his knees as a reddish fur started to grow from his body, a tail to sprout, and his face to elongate.
"This.... feels really..... weird... but...... not as bad as having.... all of my bones broken...... just different...."
