At the Manor

Amu came running back towards the Manor as fast as she could go. Soon she stood in front of the door. She walked inside.

"I'll go, if Marcus isn't," She said simply, and walked after them towards the garage.
~~~~~
Yukiko glared at him, and picked up her pace. She couldn't seem to catch him. She pushed herself harder.

"I'm not giving up!" She yelled after him.
~~~~
Bree laughed and nipped back at him, rolling out of the way.

"You'll have to eventually!" Jake shouted back.

"I appreciate it" Shellie said as she put her stuff in the car. "You guys have time to grab anything you might need." she added as she leaned against the hood.

Jason walked in after them, a book and bag in his hand, and stood by Shellie. "I'm going too" he told them.

Arthur said nothing.

~~
Tina nodded and ran upstairs.

Amu followed Tina up the stairs, though she didn't really need anything. She walked into her room for a moment, needing to clear her head.
~~~
Yukiko soon couldn't go any farther. She cried out in frustration, falling into a panting heap on the forest floor.

Emma nodded and ran upstairs and packed a few things quickly.

~~~~~

Mark ran around still in his wolf form.

Yumi stood up and started to walk around the the side of the Manor as AMrk went further back.

Tina packed a few things too, and ran down, and back to Shellie.

Bree laughed and followed him.
~~~~
Amu did the same and came down, standing next to Tina.

"Where's Marcus?" She asked quietly.
~~~~
Yukiko couldn't breathe. She was still struggling to catch her breathe, furious with herself for stopping.

Jake ran a little further before halting, sure he was safe now. "Is she wasn't my sister I swear I'd do something about her sending someone after me." he cursed several things under his breath.

Shelie got in the drivers side, Jason in the passenger side. She waited for the others to hop in as well.

Arthur stoped as well. "This all sounds intersting."

~~
"Not comeing." Tina said getting in the back sit..

Emma ran downstairs and went out into the garage and got into the backseat. "ok ready", she said.

~~~~~~~~

Mark kept running around smiling.

Jake looked at Arthur "I want to take over the local lycan pack here in town." He started, "Problem is that I can't return to the vampire coven where Brooke and Anna are so I need help. The alphas of the pack are gone so this is the chance to be the head of a larger pack."

~~~~~~~~~

Shellie started the car once everyone was in and sped towards Lycan manor. When she was near a clearing in the woods she stopped and got out. "Yukiko!" she called, she had stopped close to where the girl was and was hoping she could hear her.

Amu tried to hide her relief in hearing that Marcus wasn't coming, and instead got into the backseat with Tina. She wondered if Skylar was coming, but quickly shook off the thought. She looked out the window as soon as they stopped, and heard Shellie yelling for Yukiko. She really wished that she hadn't gone out into the woods like she did; what was going on?
~!~
Yukiko pushed herself to her feet when she heard Shellie yelling for her. She soon emerged from the woods, still a white wolf.

"I'm sorry," She breathed. "I couldn't."
~!~
Bree tripped once or twice, but kept picking herself up. Soon she stopped, breathing heavily. She was wondering where Yukiko was and what was taking her so long. She hadn't told her what was going on, and Bree was still wondering where Rayne and Lucien had gone off to.

Mark stopped running next to Bree. He layed down slightly breathing heavy as well.

~~~~~~~

Yumi changed out of her wolf form and sat on the porch againand leaned against the wall.

"It's okay. Jacob is fast." Shellie said to the wolf. "We are heading to the Manor, I have no room in my car but Skylar is following me in his if you want a ride." she smiled right as a white convertible pulled up beside hers and Skylar smiled at them. "There's just no stopping you" Shellie said.

"No way when there is a good fight involved." Skylar said.

Yukiko shook her head.

"No, I'll go ahead and meet you there. I want to get to Bree quickly," She said, and took off through the woods quickly, though her chest was burning.
~!~
Amu pieced things together, and frowned. Who did Jacob think he was, going to take over the Manor? She seriously doubted that they would cooperate with him anyways.
~!~
Bree looked at Mark.

"Do you know where Rayne and Lucien are?" She asked quietly. "Yukiko won't tell me, and I miss them."

Mark shrugged. "I'm not sure, Yumi didn't tell me either", he said sitting downin the grass.

Shellie nodded at Skylar, ending the bickering and she got back in the car. She then drove towards Lycan Manor as fast as she could, Skylar right behind her.

Jason observed her carefully, wondering what the heck had happened and why she wasn't sharing it with him. Shellie sighed lightly and looked at him from the corner of her eye before looking back at the road. Her right hand, however, lifted off the wheel and found Jason's. The two interlaced their fingers and smiled lightly. "I'll explain, hun. I promise. I just want the Lycan's to know too." she told him and he nodded at her.

Arthur tought for a moment. "Every moment that passes you get a step behind." He said. "Lead the way, I'll help."

~!~
Tina remained quiet, thinking. She wasn't sure what was going on, but she didn't think she needed to.

Jake nodded and with a burst of speed he ran through the forest, towards Lycan Manor.

Arthur followed with ease.

Bree nodded and was about to say something else when Yukiko came bounding out of the forest.

"Get inside, Bree," She called.

"What? But why---" Bree began, but Yukiko cut her off.

"Now!" She shouted. The desperation in her voice was what drove Bree to change back and run inside, pulling Mark along with her. Yukiko took a defensive stance in front of Lycan Manor, every muscle tense, all her senses alert.
~!~
Amu felt the adrenaline already rushing through her veins. She wouldn't let them take Lycan Manor so easily. She may not have known Rayne and Lucien as well as the others had, but she had known them well enough to know that they wouldn't have wanted this. And so she would fight.

Shellie's mustang pulled up in front of Lycan Manor and halted immediately. She and Jason dropped hands and they both jumped out of the car. Skylar's Saturn Skye halted beside the car and he too jumped out. The three grabbed their bags and walked up to the house.

Amu hopped out quickly with her bag, but lingered behind a bit for Tina. She was looking around, listening as far as she could for any sign of Jacob.
~!~
Yukiko looked at them, and ran over to them, meeting them halfway.

"There's another wolf with him," She said, panting slightly. "One I don't recognize."
~!~
Bree was looking out the window, wanting to be out there with her 'sister'.

"I'll know who as soon as they are close enough." Shellie responded, "Amu, let me know if you can here anything." Jason took her hand and intertwined their fingers together.

Skylar walked over to Amu and waited for Tina as well.

Tina was followed Amu, without saying a word.

~!~
Arthur said nothing more as he followed Jacob.
