Jack looked at Riley as she gripped the fence that was separating them. He wanted to turn away, heck, didn't she just hit it off with Arthur? What does she want from him now? He thought, then he understood: she didn't even know that he liked her. And he was the one who was with her when her beloved Arthur wouldn't. What else could he possibly ask for? And also, no matter if others more or less are involved with their own feelings here, this wasn't the place. He could worry about his feelings when he and others will be away from here and safe.
He turned to her, his face still pretty much blank, but now it showed much more interest. "If your beloved Iggy was here you wouldn't even give me a glance." he muttered quietly, but loud enough for Riley to hear it, then looked at her. "I am listening." he said with a serious, calm voice, looking straight into her eyes.

Angel rose up from the ground, seeing that Alfred looked at her for a moment. She smiled at him, then looked back at Arthur. He was deeply hurt. Maybe if she was hurt more, they'd actually care for her more as well? Angelica couldn't help but ponder. "Angie, stop being such an attention-seeker, that's why nobody likes you!" She thought. It wasn't much of her fault, though. Her mother didn't give her love. She never had a father, nor a sibling. Her friends were mostly 'fake', liking her only because her mother was moderately famous. That made her desperate for any sort of positive attention. She looked back at Xander. "Thank you, for noticing me and caring about me." She smiled at the teen that was now a dog, and sat on the bunk bed.

Ooc: I really hope she doesn't sound like a mary sue... Hmm, gotta do the mary sue test :3

I winced as Jack looked at me. What did he say before?" If your beloved Iggy was here you wouldn't even give me a glance" I shivered and looked at him "Jack," I said, looking at him with a serious face "what did you mean by that? What's going on?" I asked, gripping the fence more tightly and scooting closer. What was that supposed to mean?! I thought sourly, though my face remained blank. I looked at him, his face expressionless and frowned. I thought back, way back, to when I woke up next to Jack in that car, to when me and him comforted each other, the concern when I was altered. I looked at him, my eyes filled with sadness, he was the one who actually cared for me and would treat me right, not Arthur. But something about Arthur made me be blind to anyone else, and it was then that I realized I had been hurting a great friend of mine.

OOC: *is loving this sweet drama here*

Jack just stared at her as her expression changed. He then lowered his eyes. "You probably understand anyways. I have had relationships with girls before, and every single one of them ended up badly. That taught me to be strong, and don't take things too seriously, but now I...I can't, Riley. It's not the scientists or death that I fear the most. It's my feelings, and my jealousy, which I can't fight." he said as he looked back into her eyes. "I understand that you like Arthur, it's okay, but...Just so you know...I like you...Well, more like...I love you." he said, and then sighed. His transformation back seemed to be faster than expected, and he was almost normal again now, except that the mane was covering half of his head while the other half was his normal hair. And the tail. It stayed.
"So... That's about it I always wanted to tell you." he said, and sighed. "But who cares about me anyways? Just tell your plan." he said, getting back to the same blank expression of his, though now it was a bit sad.

Arthur used every ounce of strength he had left to keep himself from jumping up and claiming that he didn't belong to anyone; nor was he 'Riley's beloved' anything. Alfred winced at Jack's comment and looked from Arthur, to Riley to Jack.
"Hey, Jack. Arthur's not anyone's 'beloved Iggy.'" he pointed out, frowning.
"He didnt say he liked any of us back! Nor did he actually take part in either of our kisses!" Alfred admitted sadly.
"He's not..anyone's and he clearly likes neither of us, Riley..." He finished, and Arthur continued to feign slumber. The Brit wa horrified t the thought of Alfie thinking he didn't care for him, or riley. He loved both of them, but which one he loved more; he didn't know.

Brooklyn was forced into the room. In the corner there was some blood stains on the group, and she could tell somebody lay there sometime earlier but know was gone. Carl and George forced her onto a table and strapped her down back to the table. The light above her was almost blinding and she had to blind a couple of times. Other scientists came up, and few holding long needles. Brooklyn started screaming and squirming trying to get out but it was useless. They attached her up to one of those things that showed the heart rate, but she forgot what they were called. Some of the scientist started rolling up her arm sleeves, and the next moment a horrible pain shot through her arm. It felt like the pain was just spreading through her body. She started screaming and sobbing at the same time when the pain came back three more times. What we’re making the pain were the needles. "Stop! Please stop!" she screamed. One female scientist started unzipped the front of her green suit. Brooklyn was thankful that the scientists stop unzipping at the top of her chest. But then the next moment she hated the scientist because she stabbed it into her chest making her screech. Brooklyn heard one scientist say, "We need to get some of her blood," After that a worst pain came in from her arm and saw that they cut into her skin with a knife. The pain that coursed through her body felt like fire. Sweat was all over her face. Why did it hurt so much... she just wished she could die right now because the pain was just so bad? Then one of the scientists put something against her nose like a mask or something, but it only covered her nose. When she inhaled, it was very strong making her eyes water. Then slowly her nose started feeling like fire too. "What the hell is this?" She screamed. The one that put it on her said, "You'll find out soon enough," Brooklyn tried holding breath through her mouth but she just couldn't help not breathing through her nose. Suddenly another scientist came up with a long needle and calmly told her to look at the light and not blink over move. Brooklyn knew what was going to happen and shut her eyes tight, "D***it, you stupid girl," He yelled. He smacked Brooklyn across the face knowing a mark of his hand was left on her cheek. "It'll be over fast... just open your eyes." He said more smoothly. Brooklyn slowly opened her eyes looking at the light and he stab down into my eye before I could do anything. I screamed in pain, wanting to clutch my eye but it was strapped down. It felt like fire and tears streamed out of her eye along with some blood. "See, that wasn't that bad," the scientist said. "Then how about you try it yourself and see what it feels like," Brooklyn said screaming at him. "Nah," He said smiling wickedly. "Now for the other eye,” My other eye was wide open and before I could close it, he stabbed the needle into that eye too. I screamed out in pain again, feeling more tears run down my cheeks. She just wanted the pain to stop so much.

I was distracted by a scream, it was Brooklyn. I felt a stab of sadness for the pretty girl but then went back to looking at Jack. I stared at him for a few seconds then rocked back on my heels. What he had just said, I shivered, had Arthur ever said anything like that? No. Not from what I could remember. I looked at Jack, he was the type of guy who would do anything for me, then I glanced over at Arthur. Arthur was a fair weather friend, someone who only stuck around when it was convenient for himself and only him. I bit my lip and felt the last of my tears slip down my cheek "D***it, i'm sorry Jack...I didn't know, c**p, f*** it...I'm a b****, i'm sorry, I-I don't know what to do anymore, aw man, Jack....Ah f***!" I stuck my hand through the fence and grabbed his, thinking about how Arthur never really did say anything about us. It felt nice holding Jack's hand, and before he could pull away I began telling him my plan... "I noticed when all of the lights were shut down for the night that there were fewer gaurds...Now, if one of us could pretend to be sick or injured then they'd have to help us, it's not like they're gonna' let their precious experiments die," I wrinkled my nose and then gave a weak smile, "so when they take the decoy out, he or she attacks and takes them down. Him or her will take the keys and let us 7 out. I could fly up and look out that window" -I looked up at the window- "And see where we are, after that, we just need to find the exit. Once we get out, it'll be a long journy, but I think we could make it..." I shrugged at then looked at him agian. My hands still stuffed into his unreacting hands.

Arthur siged and sat up.
"Jack you're right." he said shakily, looking at Alfred who's hand covered his mouth realizing that Arthur had been awake.
"You deserve Riley, not me. I-I never loved you Riley, and I'm so sort for being such a da** wank but I'm just...jack is more right for you." he said with a sad frown.
"Alfred...I don't know what to say to you. I want to kill you at some times but then..the..opposite?" he stammered, rubbing the back o his neck nervously. The Brit looked away, clearly blushing until he turned back.
"I hope we can all still be friends though, you know, after this..?" he propose and Alfred grinned. The American ran over and scooped Arthur up In an enormous bear hug. Arthur yelped in pain and surprise.
Arthur began thinking over Riley's plan. He nodded slowly, and then shut his eyes as if he was thinking.
"The exit is that way," he said, pointing down the hall. "I can distract them! If Iggy helps, like he can follow me out and beat up more of those stupid scientists!" Alfred chimed happily.

Ooc: All right everyone, where should this place be? When they get out I mean, what wilderness will they have to travel through, I can't think of one by myself. If it was a cold, North America, woods then they'd have to deal with hypothermia issues, but if it's in a tropical regioun, such as the Amazon, they'd have to deal with lack of water. I, personally like the colder, snow-like, regioun. But that's just an opinion.

//ooc: I vote colder, and snowy ad such :3 it means more snuggling >3 lol and I has some ideas..lol oh oh! Could there be a lake they have to cross or something involving water? o3o

Occ: I think it being snowing will be cool. lolz

By the time the scientist were finished, Brooklyn was very weak and couldn't scream anymore. "Hmm... she looks exhausted. We need to let her rest, and when she's better we'll start her training," said the scientist who must have been in charge. Training? What training? Brooklyn thought weakly. She let out a small cough when Carl and George unstrapped her from the table. If she wasn't so weak she'd be able to get away, but she just let them take her back to the cell. Carl and George dragged her out the door and into her cold cell, were her friends all were in the cells beside her. They pretty much threw her in making her fall over. Carl locked the cage, smirked at everyone and walked away with George not far behind. Brooklyn lay on the cold floor looking at her blood cover arm. She was so weak she didn't want to get up to lie on her bed. She was in a huge daze just watching her arm. A small tear dripped down her cheek.

Ooc: yeah!! Snooow and water >:3 I has a really good idea for water...

Arthur perked when Brooklyn was throw back into her cell and frowned.
"What...did they do to you?" he asked, cocking his head. Alfred paced back an forth, thinking over he plan.

ooc: Defiantly snowy and cold XD

Xander deeply wished he was a human again, when Angelica looked into his eyes, "I'm fine.." sighed in reply, he wanted to comfort her, she was crying when she first spoke to him. He could've comforted her, he would've but he was just a dog... not a human boy. He perked when he heard brook scream, he hated having dog hearing... he looked at Angelica when she glanced at him then sat on the bunk. The dog was about to speak but his vision blurred, then doubled. The young canine closed his eyes and shook his head starting to feel dizzy. Once that spell had passed he opened his eyes, to see the same black and white world he was now used to. But when he looked down he saw his jeans, his shoes, his hoodie, and his hands. He sighed with relief and started clenching and unclenging his fists. Then he perked up when the scientists brought back Brook but he didn't speak.

Ooc: Yeah, i'm thinking that a few miles into the wilderness ther is going to be a lake surrounding them and Alfred will have to swim people over, as well as Riley fly people over maybe

I looked at Arthur as he said those words "I-I never loved you Riley" My heart thumbed into my thoat and I felt like I was spinning, though my face stayed blank. Through the depression and shock of this whole place I was beginning to become more like me agian. This was the real Riley, the Riley that expressed no emotion and shut people out. I didn't want anyone's sympathy anymore. I didn't need it. I squared my shoulders in a lousey responce and looked back at Jack, no sign or emotion on my face. Jack was good, yes...Jack's good....I tried to tell myself. I looked at our hands, he still hadn't responded. I waited for him to rip his hands out of mine and scream me away. I kind of wanted that, maybe so I could just go and wait for the day to stop and go to bed. I was tired as it was, and my bed looked pretty cozey right now. Still, my heart ached "I-I never loved you Riley..." His amazing british voice kept saying, we wern't even together, so why was I so hurt? I had Jack, he was all I needed. All I need... I though looking at the outside. I wanted to get up and leave, that's when Brooklyn came back. I looked at her, my expression still blank, even though I felt shock. I looked back at Jack, his eyes, his lips, his face, but all I saw was Arthur.
