Escape

[Shenzii]

Rowan looked at Kistrev. "Because It's something I do. I don't leave someone to die out here." She sat on the curb and looked at the sky. A drop gently hit her nose. "So I helped you."

[KittKat chunky~]

*Kistrev watched her sit down on the curb, he sat down opposite her in the road. Something that until the change would have been near suicidal due to traffic, the roads now where silent and dusty.* "you helped me" *he shook his head as several drops hit him on the head, ear and whisker in quick succession...* "and for that i suppose I'm going to have to be forever gratefull" *He looked up at her smiling halfheartedly.... he suddenly whimpered clutching his head.... over in a few seconds the pain receded and he looked back up one tear rolling down his cheek to slide along his whisker... he muttered* "memory spike, keeps happening when i remember something i forgot" *he looked back up at her from where he was sitting in the road...

[Shenzii]

Rowan smiled and pulled him in and hugged him tightly. "It's nothing... I just couldn't leave you." She looked at him and smiled, her nose becoming more wet.

[KittKat chunky~]

*Kistrev smilled warmly at the hug, he realised with a pang that set deep within him that this was the first real physical contact he'd had with anyone else for little under a year. He looked up at her, returning the smile, and surpressing a giggle as another rain drop splashed both on her nose, then on one of his ears where it then hit the road after a deft flick of his ear...* "im glad you didnt leave me Rowan, im glad there's someone.... someone who helped"

[Shenzii]

"Well I'm glad that I could help." Rowan, still embracing him, pulled back. "So how is your head?" She asked, her left hand fiddling with one of his ears subconsciously.

[KittKat chunky~]

*Kistrev felt her twiddling his ear, it sent a slight shiver down his pine... the rain started to get a bit heavier, sliding down his bare back... he was starting to wish he'd kept the shirt he'd been given, shivering slightly he smiled back at Rowan...* "uh, well it doesnt hurt.. but i have lapses in my memory, for instance i only just remembered the first time we met... you know? when you held a gun on me and i hid in the shadow? *He moved up beside her on the curb*

[Shenzii]

Rowan laughed. "Yea... I'm sorry for pointing that thing at you. I just can't take any risks these days." She wrapped her arm around him to keep him warm.

[KittKat chunky~]

*Kistrev's shivering ceased as he hunkered into her body warmth.. the light pattering of rain starting to fill the air, weak filtered summer light falling in patches across the city..* "s'fine, i dont blame you... i remember what i was like... i must have looked like a tramp or scavenger... im surprised you didnt shoot me right away! *he smiled warmly, putting an arm round her shoulder too, rain dripping off his whiskers like tears...*

[Shenzii]

Rowan laughed and shrugged. "I don't shoot unless I'm sure what I'm shooting at. And you didn't have the scent of one of them," She smiled. She huddled closer to him as lightening struck and thunder rolled.

[KittKat chunky~]

*Kistrev winced at the lightning, tensing suddenly, and almost jumping out of his skin.. he settled down as rowan pulled him back, he tried not to blush at his obvious fear of them *... Rowan? do YOU remember before the change? i cant *his head hung low as he huddled in close, his head against her side where he could feel the dull beat of her heart against the backdrop of rolling thunder and pattering rain*

[Shenzii]

Rowan laughed at the cat, who was about the same size as her, cuddle closely. "Of course. Sitting right here would be dangerous," She joked. "The streets bustling, and noisy. People on their phones, people greeting people. Angry cab drivers... It's so peaceful now... but yet, so lonely."

[KittKat chunky~]

*Kistrev looked up as she laughed... she could only be slightly older than him... yet somtimes she made him feel like the younger brother...always asking the questions... never knowing the answers... he watched her eyes as she said "yet, so lonely" he had always liked peoples eyes, the glint and shimmer.... he sighed lightly, his whiskers bristling as he took in a deep breath of the fresh, thunderstorm cleared air*

((sorry, gotta go... im being pulled of mah laptop     ))

[Shenzii]

Rowan's eyes flickered at the Lightening struck in the park, the flash illuminating her eyes. "Woah... that was a little too close for comfort." She took her coat off and placed it over Kistrev. "I'll be right back... I have to find Orin." She shivered, the shorts and tank top not covering much. She tightened her combat boots and dashed into the park.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Orin was nowhere to be found and the only evidence was a few dots of blood and a few stray feathers scattered where he once was. But, the faint whimpering of Sira could be heard in the fog where he once was.

[Shenzii]

"Sira!" Rowan called urgently running to her side. "Where is Orin?!" She said, tears welling up in her eyes.
