"if you don't want to deal with her that's fine. I wanted you two to have some 1 on 1 time. She gets agitated when to many people are around." he shrugged his shoulders.

I remain silent for a moment, tearing up slightly. "Well that went absolutely the very best way it could. You just hurt the only friend you have, and what, over some dirty old stick piles? Well played. Very well played," I say to myself as quietly as I can, "You try to joke and end up coming off as seriously mad as can be. And now Kody's hurt and it's all your fault." I take a step forward, my hand out, but stop, not knowing what to do or say. A tear falls, the first since I was left on the street.

"nice" I hissed through the link and mock smiled as I jumped out of the shadows

``Maybe tomorrow when i'm not so worried about my brother still.`` She looked at him. ``Can I go upstairs now, `alpha`?``

"I'm sorry..." Kody mumbles, "I shouldn't have been so careless..."

"No what's nice is that sick form!" Jax replies with a nod of approval.

"Hunter." he replies, "and sure." Shelby we still need to talk. You two follow me." he says to Shelby and Clyde.

I smile and look around "thanks I didn't even know" I laughed through the link "I want to try like a light creature" I shifted and looked around.

"It-- It's not your fault. I shouldn't have been so harsh. You were trying to help," I say, wiping the tear off. "Plus, those literally took five minutes tops to gather. We should just have some fun. Maybe, play a game of some sort? But not the kind of games the pack plays. Ugh. They are so annoying sometimes. Ooh! How about we play hide and seek? But the non-transforming version. There is no way we would ever find each other if we did the transforming version. So?"

His eyes widened, "When did you learn that one?!" he shouts through the mind link.
