I stretched my wings with happiness and smiled, but heard a sudden crashing and yelling coming from behind. I looked at the forest and then back at the werehouse I'll come back for you... I though, thinking about all the others trapted inside of that house. I observed as Brooklyn, Arthur, Alfred, and Xanded hopped out of the building. My face twitched at the sight of Brooklyn, swung over onto Arthur's shoulder. I snorted, this is stupid, I shouldn't care! "Guys we have to go! They'll be fallowing us soon! Come on!" I urdged. I took a deep breath and jumped, in the middle of my jump I unfolded my wings and began pumping the furiously "I'll lead that way, until it get's too dark to fly" I called down to them. With a tilt of my head I began to draft towards the forest, hoping my friends would fallow.

Brooklyn watched Riley give her a small glare, and Brooklyn couldn't help but smirck a little. Once Riley took off in the lead, before Brooklyn followed she sighed and then turned to Arthur, "Hey thanks for saving me back there...," Brooklyn said smiling at him and then headed toward the dark forest walking and then into a run to catch up with Riley and Xander who lead the way. She also tried to hide the slight blush that formed on her cheeks.

Arthur watched Riley fly up and he suddenly got angry again.
"No problem Brooklyn...Bloody he** why does she get to fly!? Shouldn't she be running her a** off down her like us!?!" He growled, jogging at a fast pace alongside Alfred.
"Would you like to have giant gaping wings sticking out of your back?" Alfred asked, shivering at the thought. Arthur froze suddenly, just stopped in his tracks. In front of them sat a large lake, probably almot a mile wide. Alfred slowed as well, and then came to a stop.
"Well...that, dude, is gonna be a big problem.." He said, looking back at Arthur, who'd gone incredibly pale.

Broookyln didn't noticed the lake tell the last secound because they were in the trees and the next moment a huge lake was infront of them. Brooklyn was able to stop just before falling in. She let out a small gasp and jump way from the water. "How the h*** are we going to get across this?" Brooklyn complained.

Alfred shrugged.
"I can swim really well, so i could swim a couple people across...maybe..unless we have more good swimmers?" He asked, looking around at the panting group.
"Arthur? Are..you okay?" Alfred asked, seeing his paled friend still frozen infront of the lake.

"Um... the thing is, it's freezing out here," Brooklyn said looking at the fog that came out of her mouth when she breathed. "Most likey by the time we get aross, we'll all be frozen to death," she said to Alfred. "But I may not be true," Then Brooklyn looked at Arthur who's face was almost as pale as the snow, and Aflred asked he was okay. Brooklyn walked over and asked, "Yeah... Are you okay? You look really pale,"

Arthur was lost in thought, terrifying memories and he shuttered.

It was colder than this back in England, the lake had frozen over. He was about 15 and his father and him were out fooling around. Their breath fogged, and each movement was stiff. He remembered it like it was yesterday, the sound, the feeling, the pain. A crack split through the thin air and cold, freezing, cold engulfed Arthur's body. He was under the ice, his lungs screaming for air until he was pulled out. His father had jumped in, to save him. The man's body was blue and A small sob escaped Arthur's lips as he began to rip off his jacket and shirt to help attempt to warm up his father. It was a failed attempt and he watched his father die, nearly freezing himself to death that day.
"ARTHUR!" He heard Alfred shreik when he passed out, from exhaustion and fear.

Alfred's expression was pure terror when Arthur fainted, landing into the snow with a thump. He pulled his british friend up, but there was no sign of life except the shallow breathing sound, and the soft thump of his heart.

Occ: lolz Solo it's actually Arthur who passed out. ;3

Brooklyn gasped when Arthur colsaped. She raced to the other side of him while Alfred was on the other. "Oh s***! What's happened to him," Brooklyn's eyes wide with fear again. "Is he sick or... or dead?" She said when Aflred checked if he was. Tears started feeling her eyes... "What's wrong with him," Brooklyn said choking back a sob, while clutching Arthur's cold hand.

//ooc: LoooL

Alfred shook his head.
"I-I don't know, he's alive but.." His voice trailed off. Alfred reached under Arthur's legs to pick him up and moved him to a dryer spot near the lake. Alfred continued to check his friend's pulse and sat back.
"Please live Iggy..." He muttered.

ooc: Ya' fixed it lol

Xander stopped and looked at them silently, "This is just what we need..." Xander muttered, thinking once again about the others, and having no clue were they where. He felt sorry for Brook who seemed to be the most distraught, aside from Alfred.

I circled as we came to a lake and peered down at them. My wings were cold and stiff, so I decided to make my way down to earth. I eyed them as I got closer and saw Arthur fall, I half expected him to get up, but he didn't. Panic over came me, I tucked my wings to my back and fell the last 7 feet. The lack of friction made me fall again, the wind was knocked out of me before I could even think. I gasped for breath and held my rib cage "H-have to w-work on t-the landing..." I said with a small smile. I pushed myself to my feet and limped over to Arthur "What happened?" I asked, looking from Brooklyn to Arthur, who seemed the most upset. I looked over at Jack and Angie and saw them just catching up.

Alfred shook his head.
"I dont know...He saw the lake and just, froze up or something...Then he passed out." He replied worriedly. Alfred put a shaky hand to Arthur's foreheadd, causing him to twitch slightly. He was slowly returning his conciousness, but he didn't wake up. He simply murmured.

'i..no swim, dad...help...you have t-to help me..' He muttered shakily, shivering.

Jack finally ran up to others. In front of them was a big lake, and Jack frowned slightly. He overheard their little conversation. "I can swim too." he answered. His eyes grew wide as he saw Arthur pass out, out of nowhere. He slowly walked up to him, Alfred and Brook. "I wonder what happened..." he asked calmly, then heard him murmuring something. "Oh...Now I understand." he said and frowned, listening if Arthur would say anything else. Then he stared at the lake. "I wish I could have my mustang form here...Then I could carry you guys." he thought out loud, then, out of sudden, he remembered Christine's words. "Every few hours..." her words rang in his head. "But how could I wait few hours here just to be mustang again?" he said, asking his own mind out loud. Then he frowned and thought. He turned back to human when he told Riley he loved her in that cage. And then the scientists took him, then they ran off...He smiled slightly: one hour was left for him to become horse again. But then the smile dissapeared: no one would wait for a hour. "Well, who would wait a hour for me to become horse again? No, I guess I'll need to work with my swimming skills." he said, and chuckled slightly. Then looked at Arthur again.
