It hadn't taken them very long to reach the clearing that the wolf pack was in, after they had been pointed the right direction. The fact the path was cleared out pretty well helped a lot too. Kiara gave a polite smile when Arik met them at the clearing, nodding a bit when he said something about being able to find them. "Honestly, if not for the wolf that made it clear he wasn't with your pack. I'm afraid I would have gotten lost." She answered back. Only to frown a bit as one of the others passed them, she didn't even have to be one of them to feel the hostility coming from them. Dawn tensing a bit out of instinct. "We understand, I'm thankful that Beau is still willing to meet with us." She said before giving a small nod when he said he would peek his head in first. She waited patiently when Arik said to wait a moment, taking the chance to glance around her from where she stood. Once he opened the tent for them, Kiara took a deep breath, smoothing her dress before heading in. Dawn following her in. Nervous was probably not the best thing to feel right now, nervous and desperation as she looked at the four people at the table. "Firstly I apologize for last night and thank you for seeing me." [Center]----[/center] Dawn and Kiara sat on the small log that Arik asked them to wait on while the Alpha and Beta talked things through. Kiara picked at the lint on her dress nervously absentmindedly. "I think it went fine, they seemed to like the answers you gave them." Dawn said, trying to be reassuring as she watched Kiara. "Plus the one is cute so that makes it harder." That got her a confused look before a chuckle. "I'm sure that I did fine, it's just that I don't feel that my answers were enough." Kiara answered. Before looking up as the woman from the tent walked towards them. Her bruises looked wrong in the light. However, she smiled a little at Kiara before walking past. --- The black haired tattooed beta, sat listening to the two other betas argue lightly back and forth. One arguing that it was too soon to trust Kiara again. While the other argued that they should continue supporting her. Beau listening to both points. With a sigh she pulled off her glasses and rubbed her temples, careful to touch the bruise along the side of her face. Even with quick healing she enjoyed, the concussion from last night still had healed up to the point she wasn't dizzy and throwing up. Her head was killing her. Not that it had been the first time thrown around by a vampire, but she hadn't seen it coming. Other than that she only had a few bruises and a black eye. The sound of the voices molded slowly into a muffled blurry as she toned out the arguing. It was only when she felt someone nudging her that she looked up to the soundless Beau saying something to her, looking annoyed. "Oh sorry. I wasn't meaning too." She said before the sound returned to the tent. She nodded a bit when asked if she was alright, before listening to Arik and the other beta discuss. "Not to mention that she won't even tell what her full breed is. For all we know she was the witch that did this." "First of all she isn't a witch. Even if witch succumbi hybrids weren't an extremely rare thing. A witch would have waaay less trouble answering your questions." Autumn said, that got the other three looking at her, and she cleared her throat looking at the other beta, before looking at Beau. "Granted that I don't know anything about blood magic, even I could smell it. Though……" She made a small motion with her hand unable to remember the name. "...she seems smart, everyone knows you don't do that shit in your own home without protecting yourself. I saw her taking a hell of a beating before she froze everyone." She glanced at Arik as he nodded a bit as she said Kiara took a beating. "I think we should at least give her a chance." Once everyone had said their piece and Beau had decided what they would do, she excused herself while Beau and Arik were talking privately. She just really needed to get away from that tent and all of the talking. The headache was getting worse and worse in this form. Autumn smiled a touch at their guests as she passed them, once away from their eyes she was able to shift. The white wolf sighed in relief as the pain subsided to just a deep ache. Shaking out her fur a bit, her light blue eyes looked around her. Everything might have been in complete black and white, but it was so much better. With a slight wag of her tail, she started her round around the area. --- Emily was hesitant to leave the man by himself to deal with the hunter. There was something so sure in his tone though. So she climbed up into the tree covering her eyes, listening to the two of them talk. Being called an abomination was a little harsh. It wasn't like she was a tiger roaming around. Not even the wolves saw her as a threat. When she heard the shot she uncovered her eyes to see the two men fighting, before the one man shot the hunter twice. Her hands covered her mouth as she stared down at the scene, the man rummaging the body of the hunter. He had said that he would handle it….but she wasn't expecting him to actually kill the hunter. Even if it wasn't her first time seeing one dead, it was her first time...actually seeing it happen. When he said she could come back down, she stared at him for a moment before slowly coming down. Emily looked back and forth between the man and hunter with wide eyes and he started digging through his pack. Her mind was still trying to figure out if she should just keep running. This stranger just fucking doubled tapped a person that she lead her. His death was her fault. The bandages shown to her pulled her attention back to the man again. Her brain stalling completely as she stared unblinking at the bandages in his hand. Wait…….she could stick with him? He would protect her? She made a soft chittering sound looking up at him. It wouldn't be a bad idea to have someone that would protect her around, his aura was weird but not in a dangerous way. She peeked around him at the hunter making another soft chittering sound. She glanced back at him when he said he didn't know where he was going. It was then that she saw the blood on his shirt and she chittered at him before tugging a bit on his shirt while patting her side. Once he reassures her that he was okay she held her paws out to tell him to stay before running out to shift. It was times like this that she was thankful that she had Aren make her, her necklace. The charm kept her clothes in tack when she shifted. The wounds on her shoulder was painful as fuck and has soon as she was back to human form is started bleeding again. Emily peeked around the tree for a moment before coming out holding the large gash on her shoulder. "Hello, um….thank you for helping me. I'll definitely take you up on your offer to help bandage." She said with a soft unsure smile moving a bit slowly towards him. When he started wrapping her shoulder she sighed. The pressure definitely helped with the pain. "I'm Emily." She said looking at him. "Do you….usually kill people? Cause your aura isn't that dark." She asked, biting her lip a bit. She needed to at least know that going with this guy didn't mean she would be surrounded with unnecessary death. --- This whole mourning thing was tiresome. Everyone in the house was so distraught over the loss of Elder Selma. It was….saddening that she was no longer with them. She had been a powerful witch, even if she was a pain in the ass. However, this was a time they should be getting ready to protect from the "threat" of the other covens as well as the other groups. She didn't put all this work into this for nothing!!! Once Elder Lyle was back, he would agree with her! Tabatha sighed, at least that annoying Ember girl was gone. She had been the one who cast the blood magic after all, Tabby made sure of that. Sneaking out of the house had been a little harder now though. They were all on "unofficial lockdown" but she would stop at the store on the way back just in case. What she really wanted was to see Dylan again though. They needed to figure out their next move. His cave was a pain to get up to though. She wiped her hands off on her skirt as she got to the opening, before going inside. "He needs lights in here." She muttered to herself softly before muttering a spell to give herself some light. "Dylan." She called as she walked a little father in. "Where the hell are you?"
