I stared blankly at the sky, past Carl. He had moved me into his arms, pressed tightly to his chest. I pressed my ear against his chest to hear his steady heart thumping. Barump..Barump...Barump... It ticked slowly, steadily, easily. I licked my dry, chapped, lips and then looked back up at Carl who had started humming happily. The man seemed overjoyed that I was now in his arms, my life in his hands. I felt myself gag a little bit, my head felt light and I was spinning. I moaned as a splitting headache erupted suddenly. I brought my hands to my face and tried pressing my temples in, but that didn't help. I shivered lightly, my teeth chattering, my heart pounding. The shock of a soon to come death had lost its edge a few days ago; I wished for death at this point, I wanted it. I didn't want to go back to that wicked place with those wicked people; I didn't want to be in the arms of Carl. I wanted to be with Arthur, but he'd move on once I was long dead, he'd be with Alfred or Brooklyn or whoever else loved him here. Yes, Arthur and Jack would be fine. Everyone would eventually heal from my death, and with death came peace. Yes, death would ultimately solve my problems.


Ooc: Yeah, I guess this RP was on pause for a while lol x)

Occ: Yes it has. XD I've really just been having too much homework and stuff after school like cheerleading and running, that I haven't had much time to get on AS. ;3

Brooklyn saw something small blur past her head while she tried to get free from Tom's grip. Brooklyn soon found out that Xander had thrown a rock at Tom who looked pretty upset after. Brooklyn couldn't help but smile a little at what Xander did. But when Brooklyn saw Jack run out of the forest, who was starting to change from horse form, and ran towards Tom. Tom of course let go and Brooklyn bolted out of the way before Jack could trample her too. She stumbled into Xnader's arms and quickly got up brushing the snow off her and looked back at what was happening with Jack and Tom.

Jack looked with fury at the man who was now almost defeated by them, Tom. "What did you just say? You give up?" he said, then suddenly laughed. That moment, Jack's laugh sounded really evil, like he was bullying the scientist. "Oh, you have no idea how many times I've heard this...I don't think I should let you go..." he said with a devil smile.

"D*** kid, I give up." Tom repeated after hearing Jack's response. "Please. Let me go now." He pleaded, his voice giving out he was a little bit terrified now. The horse-guy didn't look like he wanted to let him go at all - and Tom was at his mercy. "What the h***, either he's mad or we messed him up pretty badly." Tom thought, looking at Jack.

While Angelica was following Riley's scent, she picked up a strange scent as well. The girl couldn't make it out whom it was, but it smelt somewhat familiar. "It reminds me of the lab... It can't be Carl, can't it?" Angelica thought to herself, not knowing she's spot on. "I shouldn't go by myself. I'll go back, maybe Xander and Brooke could help." She thought to herself as she began walking towards the place she left the two as quickly as she could. The sight she saw surprised her - she saw Jack, with Tom the scientist pinned down on the ground. "What just happened here?" She thought, curiously. Noticing Brooklyn and Xander, she got irritated. "How I'm going to communicate with them?" she wondered. She barked at them, walked a few steps forward, looked back at them and barked again. "Please, understand what I'm trying to do..." She pleaded.

Angelica growled in frustration, seeing Xander's confusion. She ran closer to him, and began pulling him a little bit towards the place she wanted him to go. She let his pants go and then she walked a few steps forward again, barking. "Please. Follow me..." She thought to herself.

Ooc: Writers Block :D

Arthur frowned and began jogging off in the direct Riley had gone, but stopped when he saw Carl with her I his arms. Fury bubbled up inside of him, and he slowly crept up behind them. He looked around and found a sharp stick. Quietly, Arthur snuck up behind Carl, and was about to hit him, when Alfred walked through the tree line.
"Arthur? Arrrthuuu- oh there you are..." The American called ten noticing Carl frowned.

I heard Alfred's sweet voice, but it was far away. Carl must've heard it also, because soon I was being jostled. I looked up at him, finally realizing he was running and blinked. That was it then, I was going to die. He ran me to the river and ran along the bank a while until there was a bridge...and a road! I tried to struggle, the new hope surging through me, but he had all ready crossed it and was running still. I screamed as he opened the doors to the were-house then shut it tightly behind him. The instant smell of blood and bone marrow made me gag. Carl shouted with enthusiasm as he slowed to a walk and paraded me around like a new toy. The other people looked at me, their de-formed faces a mixture of emotions, mostly disappointment. I struggled again as he walked me to my old cell.
"No!" I screamed. Carl wacked me hard and I faltered, he'd never hit me before. I rubbed my side, where he'd hit me, and he cursed.
"Sorry, I forgot that you don't like hurting people..." He muttered, unlocking my cell and dumping me in. I squirmed out of his grasp and fell to my knee's, chocking on air. Carl gave me a good pat on the back and pushed a water bottle into my hands. I drank it graciously and felt my headache is lifted. I then looked at him, my expression blank and cold.
"What will you do with me now?" I asked and he let loose a grin. Not a good sign.
"Oh, I've got this new chemical, it alters memories, I just want to see..." He ran his fingers over my shoulders and down my back and I shivered.
"Can we do it in a few hours? And I want something to eat, I'm hungry" I said, acting as if having chemicals pumped into my brain was something I did everyday.
Sure He handed me a few pieces of lunch turkey and bread then left, I munched on my small meal. Not happy, but terribly defeated. I looked around, I didn't have my friends anymore to keep my hopes up, and I had no one.

(ooc: Don't wory guys, Riley'll come back, she'll just be extremly messed up (physiologically wise) When she does (; )

Xander looked at Angie again, he wanted to understand but he couldn't. D*mn! he thought looking at Brook then back at Angie when she grabbed his pant leg, he realized what she meant "You want us to follow you, Angie?"

(Ok Fl@vors, and poor Riley XD)

Arthur flashed a deadly glare at Alfred, and turned back to see Carl running away.
"RILEY!" he screamed beginning to run after her but tripped and the two disappeared from his sight. Alfred dash to catch up wit Arthur, and grabbed him.
"They're gone Iggy." His American friend concluded, and Arthur let out a choking sob.

Angelica nodded at Xander's question. She began running towards the way she smelt Carl and Riley head, not even looking back to see if Xander is following her. She suddenly noticed the silhouettes of two other people. From the scent she recognized them - they were Alfred and Arthur. She stopped right in her tracks and turned to them with a confused look. She could pick up Riley's and Carl's scent even further away. Then why Arthur and Alfred stood here and didn't follow her? She barked a few times at them.

Brooklyn looked at Angelica who kept barking at Xander. She watched Angelica run off with Xander and decided to follow knowing that Jack could take care of Tom. Brooklyn also didn't want to see what would happen to Tom in the next minute because Jack started to have that hungry look in his eyes. Brooklyn finally caught up to them, while Angelica was barking at something. Brooklyn looked over to see Alfred and Arthur, and it almost looked like Arthur had tries in his eyes. Brooklyn walked over carefully in wondered, wanting to comfort Arthur but she decided to stay where she was. "What happened," she said looking at Alfred, knowing he might be the one up to talking.

"Riley..she was left alone and Carl got her." Alfred replied to Brooklyn's question, holding Arthur while he weakly tried to pry himself from Alfred.
"Let. Go. Of. ME!" Arthur growled, pulling at Alfred's hands which were firmly secured around his middle.
"Carl's probably got her back at the lab already Iggy..." Alfred added softly, trying not to take his wanting to go after thegirl too personally.

Angelica watched the two talk. "They got her..." She thought. She watched Arthur try to get out of Alfred's hands. "Alfred's right. Not much we can do now...I should have hurried up and distracted the man before getting help. Stupid me. I'm such an idiot." She thought. Of course, she had to blame herself. She kicked a little bit of snow with her small, black paw and sat down. "We should probably plan to rescue her a little later." She shrugged mentally and watched the three again, worried for Riley. Riley might have been one of the unpopular people, but Angie considered every one of the people in the group her friend, except for maybe Arthur. And Angelica really cared for her friends, heck, if she was human at the time she'd probably try to convince people to go and help the emo girl. But now she was a fox, and she couldn't do much.

Arthur stilled in Alfred's arms, hanging hi head so his hair covered his eyes.
"I was so close.." he muttered, then twisting around weakly once more to get free.
"Arthur I'm sorry it my fault I shouldn't have-" Alfred beganbefore Arthur interrupted him again.
"Yes...no...maybe, I'm not sure anymore.." He sighed, shaking his head solemnly.
