Josh blinked slowly, and stopped snarling. He blinked slowly at her again, taking a deep breath through his nose, and narrowed his eyes into glowing indigo slits. Moonlight glinted off them like you'd imagine moonlight glinting off the edge of a sharp knife.

"Erin." he said slowly, in a rough gravely voice. He started to draw away from her, each paw stepping backwards in almost what seemed like slow motion. His eyes locked onto hers as he backed away, and he let a low growl escape his throat, "Errriiinnnn."

Spinning around, he sprinted away from her, following a new, more familiar smell. Blood. His human senses melted away again, leaving him sniffing out the ruby liquid until he stopped near Charlotte and Derek. He snarled, and coiled himself, ready to leap.

Charlotte nodded, letting him go unwillingly and rather ungracefully. She sniffled and wiped her eyes, turning around. "I'm fine," she said, looking away from him. And right at Josh. 

She screamed, stumbling backwards away from him and grabbing onto Derek. Her mind sputtered numerous curse words.

(( I dunno, where they were going.))

Angel did a half-frown, then she shrugged. " Okay, I'd best be... heading off" she said in an angelic voice.

((Well, where's Angel gonna stay? With Sarah? :P))

Jace nodded, and took a step backwards. He smirked half heartedly and started to turn around, adjusting the glas ses that framed his silver eyes. His hair fell in front of his face again, causing him to think, Wow. I really do need to get my hair cut.

(( No... she's going to stay.. in the.. uh... woods? ))

Angel skipped along, she had remembered she had saved her money in the local bank, she hurried to the bank, got her money, rented a hotel room in Holiday Inn. She sat on the bed and smiled, she got on the computer and went on her favorite website, Rescreatu (( XD))

Jace turned around at the sound of somebody crying. He started to jog towards the sound, listening as a creaky gate opened slowly. He sucked in a mouthful of air, lungs feeling as if they were on fire. "Hello?" he called, peering into the backyard. "Anybody there?"

((Fail.))

Tension danced through the air between them like lightning, making Jace almost want to draw away from the girl. Her blue eyes shook him, but he summoned his strength and locked onto her gaze with his own silver eyes.

The girl obviously didn't want him around, but he could sense the nerves and fright on her. He said slowly, "I heard you crying," he swallowed, raising his head a little, silver hair dyed white in the moonlight. "I wanted to know if you were okay. But apparently you are." His stomach started to do flip flops, making him feel uncomfortable and sick.

A howl peirced the chilly air around them, making Jace shudder. His breath spiraled upwards like smoke, visible in front of his eyes. He studied her over, thinking, she's pretty. And then his eyes setlled on her jean legs.

They were soaked in blood, causing him to take a step away from her.

"What happened?" he asked, voice barely above a whisper.

Jace nodded, glancing at her jeans again. "Well," he said cautiously. "It's good to hear you're not hurt, but it's sad to hear that somebody else is." He blinked, shaking out his white/silver hair and bit down on his lip.

And this is another time I with I wasn't a socially rejected retard, he thought sourly.

"Ugh, I think I know where South Pacific Ave. is. Why? Is that where you live?" He paled a little. "I mean, not that I want to know where you live, because that'd be stalkerish, but still." He exhaled silently. "You know what? Just forget I said anything." 

He tilted his head back to look at the sky, sighing a little to himself. Why am I so stupid?

Jace snorted, looking back at her, but his eyes were covered by his too-long silver hair. "I was raised a gentlemen," he said carefully, trying not to make her mad. "So I'm sup post to carry your books, open doors for you, pull your seat out and walk you home." He blinked, adjusting his glas ses and smiling a half-hearted crooked smile.

"So, whether you want me to or not, I'm probably going to walk you home." He played with his glas ses nervously. "And besides, I'm sure no matter how tough you act, you don't want to run into that wolf again; and there are plenty or muggers around this part of town too."

Putting his glas ses back on, he sighed gently and looked at her, flicking the hair out of his face. "And don't apologize about the blood; it's not disturbing." He chuckled lightly. "Just a little weird, but I'll get over it."

He glanced away from her, down the dark street as if he sensed something there. "Let's be leaving soon," he said distantly.

Jace looked back at her with suddenly guarded eyes. "I'm Jace," he said quickly. "Nice to meet you Erin." He turned around on his heel slowly, and started to walk away from where Erin had been hiding when he saw her first.

The chilly air messed up his hair, making it stick out in random directions while the moonlight dyed it a shiny white. Shivers travelled down his spine as he walked, and he silently wished he had his jacket with him. But, of course, knowing his luck, Jace had left it at the theater.

He glanced back at Erin for a moment, making sure she was following. A small smile tugged at the edges of his lips, but it faded as soon as it came. Because he remembered Angel.

Jace wondered faintly if Angel would get mad or irritated at him if she saw him helping out the pretty Erin girl. Probably, he though, taking her eyes off of her and looking back down the dark streets. She'd probably get jealous, actually. Not that she isn't pretty, but you know how girls are...
