Rune forced himself to stand up and walk over to join the group. "Nothing's broken in me, although I can't say I enjoyed being a human Frisbee." He looked over at Dusty. "Man, we did a number on him." he said quietly. His felt his stomach lurch as he realized how hurt Dusty was. That blow to his head might end up being fatal in the end. "Man, oh, man..." Rune muttered, trying to shake the thought from his head. 

Dusty's ears twitched at the sound of the the humans voices and he whimpered again. He didn't want them to attack anymore. Even without control of himself, his instincts told him he was defeated and he should be begging for mercy and forgiveness.

Dusty looked up at the boy who approached him and cringed away from him. He knew this one could hurt him badly if he chose to.

Rune watched and walked closer to Dusty, kneeling in front of him. Rune swallowed a lump in his throat. Dusty didn't deserve this, going mad then being beaten within and inch of his life. How was it fair? He reached out his hand to touch Dusty's face but quickly pulled back when Dusty snapped at him with a growl. Rune looked away, not even fighting the tears that started streaming down his face. He have the energy to hide them and he didn't care what anyone thought of it. 

((Last post guys, sorry. Be back on tomorrow. Goodnight :3)) 

     Rose sighed. She put her head in her hands, tears streaming down her cheeks. "GOd, how did all of this happen?" she whimpered. "None of us asked for this." she frowned. Especially Dusty and Leah. But hey, I'd love to be normal too. she closed her eyes, wishing life was waaaay easier in real life, like it was in books and movies and TV.

(Eww! Short post!)

     "Do you guys wish you were dead?" she asked, her voice muffled because of her hands that were covering her mouth. Her blonde hair was haning infront of her face, creating a veil that covered her face. It shown like pale starlight in the moonlight.

(Dunno what to post for now... D; Poor Dusty.)

((I'm back.))

Jackie laughed at Rose's comment. "If you want me to take that literally, i guess at the moment, i kind of do. He sighed and looked up to where Leah took off. He felt that ever since they came here, they were slowly peeling away from each other. It hurt him, but he knew that t was beneficial to all of them. Jackie stood and walked over to Rose, and meaninglessly brushed her hair out of her face, smiling. "Guess for now we should all just hang in there." He stood again, walking back to his large rock pile. He was tired.

Leah continued to watch the others. She too was tired and flew up above the trees to check the time by looking at the sky. It was sunset. The worst part of the day hadn't come yet if Dusty wanted to continue to fight. Floating back into the trees, she leaned back to glance at the leaves. One landed on her nose, causing her to sneeze. She sniffed and closed her eyes, suddenly snapping them open, remembering to keep alert.

     Rose sighed, and tied her hair behind her face with the velvet ribbon that was wrapped around her wrist. "I need to cut it." she noted. "It'll be easier when it's shorter." She grimaced, throwing the now-braid behind her back. The gash on her cheek hurt a lot though, despite her acting normal. She put her thumb onto the cut and winced, pulling her thumb back, seeing it was covered in blood. "Ugh." she grimaced again.

(Zomigod. I forgot Susan. >>)

     Susan fainted in the corner of the clearing, never having seen a were-wolf. She hadn't ever seen a real wolf either. Or teleportation.Or ghost people who didn't seem to be affected by anything. Or even people who could shape-shift into other things. She just wanted to go home.

     Brennion sat next to Dusty, keeping him under his watchful gaze so if Dusty awoke, or tried to kill someone again, he would be the first to know.

(I won't be able to get on anymore today. If I get on, that'll be a miracle.)

Leah wished she could return to her human form so she could rest. Now was one of the rare times that ghosts felt tired. She also knew that she had excessively used her powers more than she had in her life. She sighed in exhaustion and relief. Hopefully, Dusty wouldn't attack anymore.

Jackie looked at the others, suddenly feeling a sharp stabbing in his stomach. He forgot how hungry he was. He stood up and smiled at the others. "I'm going to look for some food. Keep an eye on him." He pointed to Dusty. He walked off into the forest, tossing a sharp rock up and down in his hand. If he were to be attacked, he had plenty of things to throw. 

((Aww... bye alice.)) 

Rune flopped back onto the ground and looked around at everyone. No one seemed seriously injured, a few scratches here and there, but nothing Dusty would fret over the next day. He spotted Susan and rolled over onto his stomach, propping himself up on his elbows. 

"The girl from the 1940's p*censored*ed out." he announced, not really caring but figuring it was worth mentioning. He stretched out and cringed at the pain it brought. Nothing was broken but he'd be dealing with bruises for some time.

He flipped over onto his stomach again. "I'll find them," he muttered quietly to no one in particular. "I'll find them and I wont just kill them, I'll destroy them." He closed his eyes and sighed. He had said that so many times about the werewolves who changed Dusty, and now he vowed to do it to the ones that had put them in this stupid forest. They wont get away with this.

Jackie found some berries as a squeaking rose from his pocket. He forgot about Scratch. Pulling the small creature out of his pocket, he handed him a nut, placing him on his shoulder and softly rubbing his head. Jackie to his jacket and again used it as a basket to carry berries. He stopped at a large area filled with berry bushes and picked them off one by one, placing them inside. He must have picked two whole bushes when he was finished. The “basket” was overflowing with berries; there was enough for everyone times two. Deciding he had more time on his hands than he thought, he carried it down to the river and dipped it in the water. He carried it back and sat it down carefully, having to hold it in his lap to keep the berries from rolling out onto the ground. He popped a few into his mouth, enjoying the delicious taste. 

“Hey, don’t worry about it. It would have happened anyway even if we weren’t here. Leah just needs some time to be alone.” He glanced to the direction Rune was looking. He popped a few more berries into his mouth and handed one to Scratch who happily squeaked.

(:O look who showed up!)

    Rose ran to Jackie, having realized she had been starving while he was gone. She plunged her hand into the basket, pulling out a handful of berries. throwing them in her mouth hungrily, she sighed. "What would we do without you?" she laughed, poking Jackie in the shoulder. "Good berries."

"I suppose you're right, still, we didn't help." Rune sighed. He was exhausted but he couldn't and wouldn't sleep. He watched Scratch and smiled slightly. "He's cute," Rune commented, holding out one of his fingers for Scratch to sniff. He looked over at Rose and laughed darkly at her question. "We'd all be dead. He's the only reason Dusty hasn't ripped us to shreds by now."

Dusty slowly opened his eyes and yawned. He shook his head to get rid of some blood that was dripping into his eye and looked around. The forest still seemed to be spinning causing him to growl in frustration and fear. Like this, any of these humans could attack him and he'd be useless to defend. He clutched his side where Rune had hit him, knowing at least one of his ribs were broken. In a situation like this, he was as good as dead.
