At the Manor

Like you could really keep me away Shellie said as she crouched down next to her. She looked at her quickly and then back at Marcus and Eric If he gets hurt that will devastate Tina and I'm not letting that happen she was soon in the trees, watching silently from above.

Blood soon founed itself running down Marcus' arm, but Eric's wound was wrose.

Amu saw the blood and stepped forward without thinking, not realizing she was visible again.

She glared at Eric, taking a defensive stance next to Marcus. She didn't care if he /wanted/ her help or not, he was getting it.

Shellie sat in the trees behind Marcus, she jumped out of them and landed beside him. "Don;t tell us to leave because we won't. Tina loves you and since we consider her our family you are included whether you like it or not" she said swiftly

Marcus glared at both of them, and duck when Eric swung again.

"Did you drop that low? To have to have females protect you?" Eric mocked.

"I don't know if I'd go so far as to call him /family/....." Amu muttered. When Eric spoke her blood boiled.

"Oh, really?" she glared at him, realizing she must be visible again. She had her hands clenched into fists, and when Marcus ducked to avoid his sword Amu looked at Eric.

"I didn't want to hurt you. After all, I didn't think you all that bad after being stuck with you for so long with the Slayers," She snapped. "But if you don't leave, you'll leave me no choice."

Shellie smiled as she realized reinforcements had followed her. Jason, Skylar, Daniel, and Jacob soon were beside them. "I suggest you leave" Shellie suggested quickly.

Marcus was frowning. Why were they here? Why couldn't they leave him alone?

Eric frowned. "No, you see I still have unfinsh business with him thst need to be done and over with."



((Not a good day for my posts))

"It /will/ be done and over with, along with you, if you don't leave," Amu said, stepping forward with a glare on her face. She could hear the others had come and smirked slightly at him.

"Leave while you are still able to do so" Skylar warned, flames surrounding his hands.

"It would be stupid for you to stay" Jason said, he didn't want to defend Marcus but if Shellie was doing so who was he to stand in her way.

Shellie smirked "Sorry Marcus, but if you get hurt Tina will be devastated" she told him quickly.

Daniel and Jason were in their werewolf forms, ready to attack

"I'll leave." Eric said takeing a step back. "For now." He truned and ran off.

Marcus looked really ticked, and was about to chase after Eric.

"Please don't do that. We can do this till sun rise" Shellie warned quickly.

Amu reached out and grabbed Marcus' arm before he could of taken off.

She let go and looked at the blood on her hand. She frowned, and looked at his arm, then him.

"Come on, we have bandages," She said gruffly, trying not to sound like she cared.

Marcus glared at all of them, then glared off were Eric had run off too. "Fine." He spat.

Shellie raised en eyebrow and grumbled a few curses about ungrateful people under her breath. She turned and walked back towards the Manor quickly, the boys on her heels. The sun seemed to be rising faster and they picked up their pace.

Amu lingered behind to wait for Marcus for reasons unknown to even her. She looked at the blood on her hand and shuddered.

Marcus walked past Amu and after Shellie. He had zero idea while he was even going. 'Maybe because Tina is there.' He thought. He said nothing.

Shellie quickly entered the Manor and up the stairs, Jason a step behind her. The two walked back down a first aid in her hands.

Daniel and Jacob stood by the door, now in their wolf forms, growling.

Skylar also waited, calmly, for Amu.

Amu walked inside, holding the door open for Marcus begrudgingly.

She saw the first aid kit and nodded. She was going to get it, but if Shellie had it already, she could help Marcus. Amu didn't want to look at him, much less touch him. She wondered if Tina had figured out he was there yet.

Tina was curled at the end of her bed., asleep, almost like a dog.

~~
Marcus walked in, a small frown on his face.

Awaken Tina, she might like to know her mate is here and hurt Shellie told Amu quickly. She walked into the kitchen "I suggest you follow, Marcus." Shellie said before the door shut behind her. Jason leaned against the wall outside the kitchen and waited for Marcus to enter.

Amu just nodded and gave Marcus one last long look before turning and hurrying up the stairs. She quickly washed the blood off of her hands before knocking softly on Tina's door, listening half-way downstairs.

"Huh?" Tina woke sitting up and loseing her balence and falling off the bed. She stood up and opened the door. "Yeeeeeeeeeessss?" She said with a yawn.

~~
Marcus followed after a moment.

"Marcus is here," Amu said simply. "He's....hurt, but not too bad. I just thought you should know."

It was obvious how uncomfortable this was making her.

Shellie swiftly wrapped up his arm "Anywhere else that I should worry about?" she asked him kindly. Jason was leaning against the wall behind her, watching Marcus carefully. Jacob was in his wolf form at Shellie's feet, watching her like a protective older brother
