"Trust me, you dont want to be my friend..." he said.  Dike felt his eyes turn red and a tear form.  Uatu grabbed his arm, and he reacted out of panic.  He shifted his fingers and sent her flying against a tree several yards away...he saw her arm get scratched from a branch and his eyes went wide...   "I'm sorry!" he screamed his hands on his head.  He felt the tears coming, and he ran into the dead of night...

((i gtg, sorry mom needs help with dinner...be on later!  ttyl!)) 

((i wont be on later i have like 10 mins.))

why did he do that? Uatu thought as she hit the ground and i do want to be his friend.

((because dike put her there by accident...))

Dike ran through the trees and brush.  He didnt stop at the ferns or wild thorns, even as they stung his revealed skin.  It was a reflex, he though sadly...mad at himself for his own reaction.  Dike remembered when he first learned of his powers, in his life he was betrayed and tortured, and is now always suspicious of others, the only one he can trust is his best friend...Syth.  "She grabbed me from behind..." he whispered trying to pin his mistake on Uatu with little luck.  He kept running and then tripped on a tree root, tumbling head over heals down a small hill, the rubbish on the forest floor scratching him as he went down.  He tumbled and then came to a stop, slamming his head on a rock.  He tried getting up and then felt pain in his left leg.  He squirmed in pain, and then looked at his leg, it was bent backwards almost... he lay on the ground tasting blood in his mouth.  He tried raising his hand to mend his wound, but couldnt move....

Sybithia couldnt sleep.  She sat up in bed and grabbed her phone.  She dialed Dike's number, he was always their to keep her company when she couldnt sleep.  It rung several times and then went to voicemail.  "Hey Dike its Sybithia, I was just checking in... see you in the morning, bye" she hung up.  "I'll just go find him!" she thought, just like old times...running around in the dark, pulling pranks on neighbors.  She closed her eyes and transformed into a young wolf.  she sniffed Dike's bracelet, which he left a couple days earlier.  She found herself in a beaten trail in the forest at the park.  She turned back to her human form and slowly moved the brush and greenery out of the way.  She stepped over a log, and saw the disturbed forest floor.  "Dike?" she questioned and kept walking, she then found a scrap of cloth on a thorn bush.  "Dike!" she screamed... she ran down the path searching, she came to a hill and found Dike on the ground below.  "Dike!" she screamed again.  Sybithia jumped down the hill and ran over to Dike, cradling his head in her lap.

"Syth?" Dike choked.

"Im here!" Syth said scared, tears running down her cheeks.  "I told you to be careful...Come on stand up...I'll take you back to my place..." she said gently.

Dike looked at her.  "I cant stand, just leave me...find help." he said weakly, his eyesight fading.

"Im not leaving you..." she felt Dike drift into sleep, as she felt the large bump on his head. Sybithia tore away cloth from her own clothing and wrapped it around Dike's wounds.  She grabbed a stick and splinted his leg.  She focused her energy and turned into a sturdy deer, the fur was black in color with several white hints.  She lifted Dike on her back gently, and took off running out of the forest....

i wonder if dikes ok Uatu thought. Uatus wound was gone but she still fels the pain frome when she hit the tree which she was still by. She got up and went to find orinu and the others.

Sybithia had no choice but to stop...she turned into her human form and supported Dike on her shoulder.  "Out.Of.My.WAy." she half snarled at both Uatu and Dawn.  She grabbed Dikes side and supported most of his weight on her hip and shoulder.  Sybithia balanced herself, and felt Dike stir. 

Dike was still out cold but winced in pain.  Sybithia's clothing shreds were dripping with his own blood.

Dawn didnt know what to do. It'd be best if she stayed away, but she knew she had to help him. She dropped Spike, she kne he'd be safe wherever he went,and she could find 'im.She stayed near the girl, and finally said "Let me help you, please."

Uatu went to dawn. "Thats not a good idea." uatu adviesed
