Iris stared with shock as the girl stood up. Of course she knew she was tall sitting; but standing? Iris felt meager. When the girl spoke, the difficulty it caused became apparent. She listened patiently and smiled kindly up at her. [color=pink]"It's nice to meet you, Sarah. I'm Iris."[/color] She glanced at her hand and realized it was bigger than her entire body. She swallowed. One wrong move, and the girl could curs her. To be safe, she didn't move quite yet so she didn't startle her. It proved to be a correct move since Sarah glanced around to make sure she wasn't being surrounded or ambushed. Iris quickly spoke up, [color=pink]"It's just me. I'm on my own. I don't have anyone else."[/color] A lump formed in her throat and her eyes teared up. What happened to her parents? Were they alive? Had they died? She felt terrible not knowing or being there to help them. She sighed and tried to focus on the present. There was no time to think about this right now. She wiped her eyes quickly with her sleeve to try to pass it off as having dust in her eye.

Then, she added to change the subject and clear her mind: [color=pink]"Is this your farm? It's nice. I haven't been to one before since I'm usually in the city."[/color] Iris sized her up, trying to see if she was starving or nourished. As While she had been speaking, she had her hands on the spokes and was wheeling back and forth. It was like someone pacing to her. [color=pink]Do you need any food? I have some in my backpack if you do."[/color] Iris took a deep breath to allow her to respond and smiled at the cow. It was so cute. How could anyone eat the poor animal? She wouldn't understand. She sighed and then looked up at Sarah again, trying not to let off that it hurt her neck.

The chaos that ensued startled Drake. It took him a few moments to gather his thoughts and understand what had happened. First, a girl came galloping over on her horse and tried to save the girl. The comment "harder to track hooves and paws than feet" stuck in his head. It was true. Meanwhile, this newcomer's dog began to maul the man attacking the women. He stared in surprise as the first girl being attacked turned around and revealed herself to be Adelaide. His jaw dropped and his eyes widened. They had been separated for so long that he thought they would never reunite. Before he could yell out, reality smacked him in the face. The sound of his gunfire had echoed and now the other two men were rounding on him. They were distraught over their friend dying and the sudden onset of people. Drake's gunfire had caused too much attention. He set his rifle in his holster and took his bat out. "[b]Come and get me[/b]." He taunted at them and grinned. He knew that needed to get one out. Fighting both would not be the best option. Adrenaline strung him up. He was jittery on his feet and tense inside.

The two men came at him, though Drake jumped out of the way quickly. He swung his bat onto the first man's neck, causing him to yell out. The sickening crunch sent a chill through Drake's spine. As he attacked him, Drake could see Tia being hurt. He saw the fight all over again. He heard his brother and parent's being murdered and his fury rose inside of him. He was so sick of innocent people being hurt and killed. He was done with it. His eyes flashed with ferocity. To continue his assault, Drake quickly grabbed him by the arm and yanked it out of its' socket. The yell echoed loudly. He pushed the assailant into the other man and caused them both to trip. His strength had come in handy and Drake was thankful for it. He took his bat and swung again as the second man stood up. He caught Drake's bat and glared. Before he could react, he swung the bat at Drake's knees. He yelped in pain and limped backwards. The next hit connected with his abdomen and he spat up blood. Pain rushed through him and caught him off guard.

Blinded by tears of pain, grabbed his rifle. Drake blinked furiously to combat the onset of tears. The man's laughter caused his stomach to churn. He'd never understand the pleasure people received from hurting innocent people. He squared his shoulders, then swung the butt of it at the man and smacked him in the temple. He then leaped at him and grabbed the bat from him and kicked him in the chest. He knocked the man down and then swung his leg at his head. The man collapsed finally. Drake watched for a moment, then staggered over to the side to throw up blood. The pain rushed over again as he lifted his shirt to check his stomach. It was bruising fast. He touched it and winced in pain, though he didn't feel anything inside was broke. His left ribs did feel punctured though. He groaned and sat upright again with difficulty. He glanced around as he remembered Adelaide.

[color=aqua]"[b]Adelaide,[/b]"[/color] He coughed out and wiped his mouth with his sleeve. [color=aqua][b]"Addie?"[/b][/color] He looked around for her and wiped at his eyes and mouth once more. [color=aqua][b]"Where are you?"[/b][/color] Out of the corner of his eye, he saw another man aiming his gun at the girl with the horse and dog. Drake tried to move over and coughed loudly. He groaned again and cursed in his head. Why was he aiming at this girl? [color=aqua][b]"What the hell are you doing?"[/b][/color]

When the food arrived and her portion was smaller, Perrie felt a rush of annoyance. There was a reason behind this. Was it spite? Anger? She began trying to discover its purpose then looked around. The men and women who had been out had the largest portions. She smirked and leaned back in her chair. That made sense. Amelia was taking care of her wolves for her. She felt a rush of gratitude. The wolves needed to be healthy, fit, and strong in order to perform well. This wouldn't go unnoticed by her, despite it; she was definitely going to speak to Amelia. If it happened again, the girl was going to get her ass kicked. Didn't she understand that she had to eat too? Perrie decided to let it slide - just once. She would try another motive.

While eating, she wondered what Xander had said to Amelia in the kitchen. However, asking in private would be more ideal. She gazed at Xander sweetly and held his hand. [color=orange][b]"I hope you enjoy your food, Black-Wolf. You did a great job today,"[/b][/color] Perrie squeezed his hand gently and gazed around once more at everyone's plates. The food was delicious. They had found themselves a decent and talented cook. She wasn't going to immediately show her annoyance with Amelia. Freaking out wouldn't be wise. Instead, she smiled warmly, despite the ferocious look in her eyes. [color=orange][b]"The food tastes delicious, doesn't it?"[/b][/color] Her voice carried throughout the dining hall. Several wolves looked up but didn't answer. 

[color=orange]"[b]Amelia[/b],"[/color]She glanced over at the child, [color=orange]"why don't you come join us?"[/color] She smiled underneath her mask. [color][b][b]"After all, you need your strength, too. Take the seat across from me.[/b][/b][/color] There was a stunned silence; then the wolves commenced eating. Perrie smiled at her sweetly and gestured her over again. There were exchanged glances but she ignored them.
