The black/white wolf turned after hearing Scout yell, and saw Kira taking off. Where's she going...? With confusion and his fur bristling slightly, he turned and took off after Kira.

He caught up to Scout, panting, "What's going on?!" He tried not to growl it.

Sure, Zeph had only known Kira for a short while, but he kind of liked that she-wolf...and it got on his nerves that Scout was chasing after her, and watching her all the time.

Kira just kept on running until she came upon the darkest part of the forest. She then stopped to catch her breath while waiting for the others. I can't let them see me, she told herself. If anyone else finds me, I'm gonna have to kill myself!

Suddenly, almost out of nowhere, Zeph skidded to a halt right infront of Kira, which was almost impossible to do without her hearing him. His eyes were widened slightly, glittering green, and almost had a caring look in them.

"Kira, are you ok? You just took off back there without a word." He flattened an ear in what might have been nervousness.

*sorry for the double post, I didn't know , and yes Zeph you are the lone wolf XD*

Sara gapsed, she had just seen Kira in the distance! Then like a flash of lightining she had shot off into the trees again! Sara sighed in frustration, then thought that maybe Kira really needed to be alone, she seemed so upset...about something which no one could figure out. Then she heard shouts and guessed that other wolves were pursuing her sister, immediately she snapped into a sisterly-protective instinct and dashed away towards the source of the shouts, and she sprang into the path of the wolves, snarling. She recognised Scout, a member of her pack . She stared in disbelief, but then bared her teeth again.

"Don't you get it? She's really frightened about something, she NEEDS TO BE ALONE! It's enough having two males chasing her everywhere, and then having to put up with something that's really scaring her!" She nodded at him firmly and then caught the scent of the other wolf, the one she had just met in the clearing. He was still running after her sister.

"I've got to catch up with him before he gets to Kira, if he's already found her then I'm not really leaving her alone either!" She growled to herself, and making up her mind she tracked them all the way...until she found them in a small, dark thicket. She crouched low on her belly, listening intently. If this guy tried anything then Sara would see him off, and then she'd leave Kira alone aswell, and Kira would finally get her own space.

"I'm protecting you Kira, don't worry." she whispered.

Zeph flattened his ears slightly and looked at her with confusion glittering in his green eyes. What was wrong with this poor kid?

"It's just...you've been acting a little strange. You're worrying us all. What's wrong?" Almost nevous looking and embarassed, he sat down. If she wanted to leave, he'd give up and continue making his way past this territory. If not, he was a good listener.

Kira just sort of sighed and looked up at Zeph, not even wanting to turn back towards Sara. "That's my sister," she explained under her breath. "I can't let her see me. I know that she's my sister and all, but if anyone else sees me on the territory, I'm dead!" She suddenly started heaving frantically before she took in a few calming breaths before she added, "And...well, I can't really say...."

He didn't even narrow his eyes in suspicion. "Well...If there's nothing I can do to help, I'll be off."

"Wait!" Kira suddenly blurted, wanting Zeph's help more than anything. "If you could, I want you to distract Sara and the others so that I can make my escape. But please...do meet me at Black Rock, the edge of this territory. I don't want to be alone...." And with that, she just sighed and took another step towards Zeph, looking deep into his eyes. "Please, help me."

He tipped his head and raised an eyebrow, then smiled. "Sure, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve." He grinned and walked past her. "See you there, then." He took off to the forest and circled around, heading up where Sara was slowly.

He took a step out of the trees. "Hey, kid-" He cut off and gritted his teeth, closing his eyes shut tight. NOT now, he thought desperately, please no...

Zeph almost looked like he was in severe pain, fur bristling and ears flattened, though nothing was wrong with him...

Sara flattened her body under the bushes and gasped in shock. She could hear howling and snarling, it was clear that whoever it was was clearly in great agony. Her heart froze, as ice cold as her blue eyes. She turned towards the source of the noises and saw Zeph, yelping with pain, beads of sweat trickling down his matted fur.

Forgetting everything, she ran up to him, her eyes wide in panic. Zeph was...out of control! Her mind went numb, trying to think of what she could do to help.... she turned her head to see her sister, who looked like she was trying to sneak away (?)

"KITA! IT'S ZEPH! PLEASE HELP!!!" She screamed at her sister

(We're gonna have to wait for the others to catch up. I just sent them messages, but I don't know when they're going to respond.)

Kira smiled greatfully at Zeph before she took off into the trees once more, panting as frantically as before. I've just gotta get away! she told herself. I've just gotta... Wolfbane!! HELP ME!!!

"Nah...I...I'm fine." Pain streaked through his veins and muscles however, but he tried to keep standing. He felt a sudden stab near his heart, and he collapsed with a snarl. Though there was no blood, it looked like he was in alot of pain.

He dug his claws into the ground, not daring to stand up from lying on his side.

Sara looked wildly around her. Zeph had collapsed again! And her sister had...gone. She felt quite hurt. Was this all.....A TRICK?!? She felt a stab of pain in her heart.

The others had missed Kira for a short while, but it was only Sara who still missed her sister. Kita was like the personality that Sara never had. When she wanted to get away from the socialising and partying, then she'd always gone to Kira. She just had felt she could be herself around her younger sister. But now she'd gone Sara could never be herself, there had been no-one that she could confide her true feelings in anymore.
When Kira had showed up again on the territory, Sara had been delighted and curious to why Kira was here again, and had tried desperately to catch up with her. But something was really troubling her sister, and she never seemed to want to meet Sara. Infact, although Sara had remained loyal to Kira and voted against her exile, now she was back her sister was trying to distance herself from her, like she didn't trust her. She felt hot, angry tears sting in her blue eyes, and she strode past Zeph who was lying on the floor, wondering if he knew the game was up. She immediately caught her sister's scent, fresh on the night air and ddashed away again. She was determined to catch up with her dishonest sitster, to get to the bottom of this mystery..... lucky she was the best tracker in the whole pack, finding Kira would be a piece of cake. Her heart sang with joy at the thought of meeting her sister again after all this time, and she'd need all these questions to be answered....

Zeph didn't move, still lying on the ground in pain. His temples pounded and struck him like lightning. Even though he wasn't faking, he'd rather Sara leave thinking that than rather find out what was really wrong...
He pinned his ears and gritted his teeth, trying to let the pain pass.

Finally his hackles sank and he went limp with relief, the pain gone. If this ever happens again when they're around...He tried not to think anymore about it, and rather curled up to sleep then and there, all his energy gone. Though Zeph wanted to meet her again, Kira would have to wait.

Kita finally sighed in relief as she reached the edge of the territory, glad to get away from here again. Then she turned to catch the scent of Sara once more. She sighed heavily and slightly rolled her eyes. She knew that Sara was a really good sister to her, but she still seemed really hurt from her past. No one gave her any respect since she was the last born. Sara was the second born, so Kira never wanted to pay much attention to anybody these days. Now that she's possesed with a demon, her life had begun to change...

"Go away, Sara!" she called out, tears sweeling in her eyes as well. "Just leave me alone!!"
