Rune watched Brennion suspiciously as he drew. He didn't ask what he was drawing, he didn't really care, but he wasn't going to let his guard down around him, especially when he was outnumbered. He flinched as Keto jumped onto the squirrel. Deciding to have a little fun, he muttered "Ok little squirrel, jump out her jaw and scurry up that tree." The squirrel did just that, pulling itself out of her jaw, leaving most of it's fur and flesh in her mouth, and scurried up the tree.

     Keto snarled and lept at Rune. She swallowed the flesh and spitting out the fur, her energy was back. She bit into his left leg.

     "Keto!" Rose broke into a run, morphing into a wolf at the last moment. she wrestled Keto to the ground, pushing her paws onto Keto's chest. Stop! Keto stop! Please! Keto slowly started to stop wrestling her. Brennion glared at Rune angrily, Laanie appearing at his side.

     Rose leaped off of Keto. She  rolled over and liked her flank, where there was now a shallow gash. She turned to human form and kicked Keto in the ribs. "You." she said airily. "Come with me. We need to work on your temper." she said, grabbing Keto's neckfur and twisting it in her fist as she pulled Keto off with her, the opposite way into the forest. She glared at her wolf, while Keto had sorrow in her eyes. She had done wrong, and she was sure she would get punished from it.

     Brennion narrowed his eyes after Rune and Dusty. Laanie growled deep in her throat, snarling after Keto. The only thought going through Laanie's head was that Keto didn't do what he was told. Protect Rune and Brennion. Those were Rose's exact orders. But did Keto protect? No she just bit someone. Laanie shook her head.

     "Leah right?" Brennion turned his emerald eyes from where the boys had just been and looked at Leah. "Where'd you go?" he asked, tilting his head to the side.

Rune and Dusty sat behind a tree, gasping for air. Dusty had dragged him out of the camp but they were still close enough that Dusty could hear everything that was going on. Rune was curled up, clutching his bleeding leg and quietly sobbing. 

"Oh, man, oh man," Dusty muttered. He didn't care how or why this happened, but the scent of blood was overwhelming. Splash had jumped out of Rune's collar and was licking the blood from Rune's leg. Dusty pulled off his jacket, pushing it against Rune's leg, trying to stop the bleeding.

     Once Rose and Keto were alone, Rose stood straight and tall and angrily glared at her wolf. "You know how this works." Rose grimaced at Keto. "You disobey, you pay." She turned into wolf form and extended her claws. Keto looked at the ground sadly, knowing that his punishment was physical pain. He always got physical pain when he did wrong. He just had to except it. He starred at the ground sadly, feeling the pain as Rose's claws rake dacross his cheek.

     "Not your fault." Brennion sighed and rested back against his tree. "What ever happened whould've happened whether or not the went looking for you." he said, guessing what she was thinking. He closed his eyes and watched through Rose's eyes for a moment, seeing what she was seeing. He shook his head, sadly, knowing that Rose taught Keto through physical pain.

     Rose licked the blood off her paws, spitting it out. Keto was bleeding from several wounds, not enough to kill him, but enough to make him hurt and weak. Rose was sad, sad that she had to hurt Keto, but knowing it had to be done if Keto was every going to learn, and more than a little bit annoyed, annoyed that KEto dissobeyed her.

     "Don't say that!" Brennion shook his head, not knowing how to comfort a girl. He poked her in the arm. "Your not completely ghost," he said when his finger didn't go through her arm. "See?" he laughed. "We're all just stressed." He turned his head as he heard people come back to camp.

     Rose stood up and led Keto gently to a small stream. She stood by it and tore of her sweater, shoes, and stocking, jumping into the cold water. She gently pulled Keto in with her, and lightly rubbed the now-dried blood out of her fur. "Come on Keto. Relax. The water'll clean out the wounds." she said gently.

(I edited my last post to add Rose in it, just saying.)

     Brennion sighed, used to this behavior from Rose. Girls. He could never understand them. What went through their minds, he didn't know.

(I know, short...)

EDIT://

     "Keto, Keto, Keto," she sang his name over and over again, slowly feeling Keto relax. "Keto, Keto, Keto," She kissed the top of his forehead and swam backwards, hitting hjer hea don a rock. Not hard, but enough to hurt, and draw a bit of blood. "Yow!" she screeched, rubbing her forhead, putting her fingers infront of her eyes so she could examine it. There was blood on her fingers. "Eww." she shivered, feeling pain above her left eyebrow, getting blinded by blood flowing slowly into her eye. She ducked underwater and shook her head, seeing cthe water around her turn redder. She leapt out of the water and grabbed her sweater and dabbed at her head, wipin away the blood.

(She's fine.)

(Edited my last post, added more Rose in it, too. ^^ I don't know what to post now, though.)

Dusty crept into camp quietly. He didn't want to talk with anyone and right now Rune was his first priority. He set Rune down in a comfortable spot and sat beside him, completely exhausted. This had been a long day but he knew he'd have to keep watch over Rune through the night. Splash sat beside him, the same thing going through it's mind. 

((Ugh, I'm being so slow with my posts >_<))
