Escape

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Orin walked out of the forest and when approaching Kitt and Vamp, shot a look which probably went along the lines of 'be quiet and i'll let you live' as he passed them and towards the safe-house, making sure his steps didn't jostle Rowan awake.

[KittKat chunky~]

Kitt stuck his tongue out while Orin wasnt watching.... after he did so he caught a glance at his tail... it was almost all a dark glossy black, thicker and larger like that of an assasins... turning so people couldnt see it he shoved his other paw into his jean pockets too... it also had started to turn a glossy black, like an ink stain... he hoped for the life of him that his ears or the rest of his body started to change.... he wished this was just a dream.. to wake up... and be Lying near Vamp and the others beside a smouldering fire... or in a warm bed....

[Shenzii]

Rowan's mind danced as memories jumped around. Her brother's last words played over and over in her head. She flinched every few seconds, as if someone was repeatedly jabbing her.

[Vamp]

Vamp noticed Kistrev's fur darkening near his wrist and asked, "Hey, Kistrev. Did you put your hands in some soot or something?"

[KittKat chunky~]

"uh... i musta.... dont remember doin it though >.<"..... Kitt kept his paws in his pockets, hoping Vamp didnt notice the tail ... and if anything else started to change... he had no idea how he was gonna explain it...

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Orin opened the door to the safe-house and was momentarily stunned. He saw both Duke and Khristie at the dinner table eating like they weren't expecting company, he felt their eyes briefly give him a twice-over and then resumed their eating as Orin walked up to the second floor bedrooms. He got to a king-sized bed and rolled Rowan onto it before changing back into his anthro form and sitting down behind her.

[KittKat chunky~]

Kistrev's heart missed a beat as he caught sight of his tail, it was now thicker than before... but that wasnt the most noticable or shocking thing... it was now a deep glossy black that had the same sheen as spilt ink.. or oil in water.... His palms felt sweaty in his pockets, breath short and fast... he had to think fast...

[Vamp]

Vamp glanced over at kistrev's fur and noticed it darkening. "Whoa! Kistrev, What happened?"

[KittKat chunky~]

Kistrev fell backwards against a car, trying to scramble back onto his feet, backing away from Vamp...
"i, i, i dont know... help Vamp! help!"
The feline, pulled himself back to his feet, before collapsing backwards again... the irises of his eyes had turned from their normal green to a shining gold...

[Shenzii]

Rowan opened her eyes and turned to Orin. "What are we doing? I mean... why are we always fighting?" She asked.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Orin thought about it for a good half a minute before answering. "If its us, then its probably because of our personalities clashing. If you're talking about 'them', they see us as food and as threats, so they try to eliminate us... do I need to elaborate on either?" he asked with complete honesty, since he can't answer such a generic title as 'we'.

[Shenzii]

"I meant us Orin." Her eyes were a deep glassy blue. She looked away then back to his eyes.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Orin's eyes widened and he quickly nodded. "Our personalities are one reason, I'm assuming you like to be able to...uh, be treated like an equal by me. While I tend to treat you as someone that I can't bear to live without, so I tend to treat you like you can't help yourself. Wow i'm blunt" he said aloud as he realized how much he just said about himself.

[Shenzii]

Rowan's eyes widened. "You need me?" She asked, her voice quivering.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Orin tried to bring his reason, but wasn't sure if it was the one she wanted to hear. "You think i'd go back into that forest for someone like Kitt or Vamp?" he then sighed and looked her right in the eyes. "The whole relationship breaking up was so I could see if it was our situation that made it hard to land a job, so yea, I do need you..." he said with a slight smile at her, while his fur thankfully hid a blush that steadily grew redder.
