[hr][hr][/center]

It had taken some time, but Declan finally made it home. He opened the door and quickly ran through the house on the tips of his toes (as if [i]that[/i] would help :rolleyes), running into the bathroom to drop all his wet things into the tub so they wouldn't leak all over the wood flooring in his room. Declan pulled his shirt and hoodie up over his head, as well as stripping his soaked pants off. A glance in the mirror forced his eyes away from his own, growling to himself. He was never one to look in the mirror, dispite his good looks, but especially since he was infected. He could never get past the fact he had a monster lying just under the surface. He tossed his soaked clothes into the tub beside his bags and stepped out of the bathroom only to find his mom standing in the hallway with her hands on her hips, Declan yelling out 'MOM!' before retreating back into the bathroom for cover. His mom raised an eyebrow, looking from the open door to her son.

[b]"You bring a girl home?"[/b] Declan's face scrunched up in confusion, somewhat dumbfounded. [color=#F1C40F]"Um, mom..no, for one. Two, why are you home?"[/color] Mrs. O'Connor smirked slightly, shaking her head at her son. [b]"Meeting was cut short today. Boss had a family emergency."[/b] Declan nodded, then turned beet red with his mother's next words. [b]"I'm doing laundry. Leave your stuff in the tub and I'll come back up to get it. Take a towel, and leave your underoos, kay?"[/b] Declan rolled his eyes but muttered 'Yes mom.' loud enough for her to hear and be satisfied. He watched her walk down the hall and out of sight before doing as he was told, stripping bare and leaving his boxers inside the tub, using his towel on the back of the door to cover himself as he made his way to his room.

Declan pulled the last piece of clothing on, looking at the time on his phone. He'd only been home a good 10 minutes. A text came in from his mom, then.

Declan pinched the bridge of his nose, sighing heavily. [i]Really?[/i] He shook his head and stuffed his phone into his pocket, walking out of the house and back out into the rain towards the stables where Sen and Brago were kept. Once inside, he unlatched Brago's door and led him out, grabbing a rope for a halter and lead, fastening it to his horse before hopping onto his bare back and gently kicking his sides to push the horse forward and out intothe rain. [i]'Here we go,'[/i] he thought to himself. Declan lead Brago off towards the abandoned house, putting him through his paces on the way there.

Once Declan could see the house in his sights, he pulled back on Brago's rein and slowed him to a walk, sliding off his back with a [i]splat![/i] onto the muddy ground. He could see the cars all around the place. 3 of them, to be exact. The decorative van, Miranda's car, and the P.I.'s car? [i]Why was he here?[/i] Declan narrowed his eyebrows at the house, tying Brago to a tree a good 15 yards from the place, slowly approaching.
