[h2][b]Louis[/b][/h2] __________________________________________________________________________ Shay seemed so terrified to see Damien that he could barely hold back his smile of joy. Of course, the silly girl tried to act like she didn't give a shit and mused something quite casual, to which he started to laugh loudly, bending over and holding his stomach. Louis snickered at Damien's reaction. The guy was insane. He glanced sideways to see Skylar hugging her younger sister Leslie and trying to quickly move her out of the area. This was the time to do it. He grabbed Shay's arm and began dragging her toward the forest. "I'll take you home then."He said and gave her an evil grin. He was no where done with this bitch. Her attitude was driving him up the wall. He wouldn't quit until she sobbed at the very sight of him. Once out of the plain and in the trees, he slammed her against a trunk hard enough to make some leaves fall of the branches. "You have some nerve don't you? "He snarled in her ear and twisted her wrists up and held them above her head. He began to punch her over and over until she bled, "You're mine now, [i]little bird.[/i]" [h2][b]Lucy[/b][/h2] __________________________________________________________________________ Lucy hadn't ever been in the woods outside Fernwood before. She had never tried to venture due to her family's strict fore-warnings. Somehow, she had convinced them to let her do a patrol. Patrols were when pairs of guardians were released into the woods to make sure students weren't wandering off or getting dangerously close to the superior camp. Apparently not much happened during the patrols but Toby still had been entirely against letting her go on one. She couldn't believe he had really let her go. The only downside was that she had been paired with Dalton, who just had a meltdown earlier on. Let's just say he wasn't Lucy's first choice. "Hurry up." An impatient voice reached her as she shrugged her jacket on. She had been standing right outside the door of school. "If you take this long to put on a jacket I can't bear to see you in a battle." If strands of her hair could break off the top of her head like in cartoons, it would. He hadn't said one nice thing to her so far at all. She groaned in annoyance, pushing the doors open. The tall boy with the sandy-colored brown hair turned to glance down at her, eying her up and down as they stood on the steps of the castle-like school. She was wearing the black tight pants and long-sleeved shirt all guardians wore along with her black hoodie over it. Her hair was in two fishtail braids that came just above her chest. Finally he took one of her braids, twisting it back and forth as he scrutinized her, "Pigtails? Really? " He let go of it and scoffed, moving forward down the stairs. "Stay close."He ordered, not turning to look back at her. She frowned. "I like my braids."She mumbled her under breath and followed behind him. Why was this guy always a grumpy asshole? Was it because of his brother apparently hanging with the superiors? Something told her this was his personality. They made their way over to the barrier guards, who let them through the gates with ease. Once they were facing the forest, Dalton stopped walking. She glanced sideways at him, perplexed. That was when black fur started to cover his arms and legs. Lucy did a double-take, jumping backward, "What the [i]fuck[/i]!?" She couldn't help but yell in shock. Dalton got down all fours. Before she could register what just happened, there was an overgrown black wolf in front of her. He looked at her with the same brown eyes, impatience swimming inside them. This was definitely something she had never seen before. It took her a moment to comprehend it.. "That's your ability? You turn into a dog?" Lucy said lamely once she had gotten herself together. He growled loudly and began trudging into the the woods. She gazed up at the large trees, and then down at the dark woods in front of her. With a gulp, she followed after him. They walked around for around an hour before Dalton bit her sleeve, shaking her arm. "Ow! Hey!" She glanced down at him with furrowed brows. He shook his head in a northern direction and began bounding forward. She ran after him, struggling to keep up. By the time she had caught up, Dalton had tackled down some huge dude into the mud. She looked around wildly, her gaze finally falling on the dark-haired girl against the tree. Was that Shay? She was so hurt and bloody it was hard to recognize her. Lucy knew better than to think twice and grabbed her hand. Hastily, she began pulling her along with her back towards the school. "Sorry I gotta get you out of here!"She told her.
