@esther-c so GRIMm cannot speak in his wolf form but it’s okay, we’ll just say he shifted back to human form in that moment.
Grimm
Back in human form, Grimm turned to Lyn, eyes narrowed. He stepped close, whispering.
“That was a mistake.”
Lyn shook her head, frowning. “It’s fine,” she whispered back, gently touching his cheek. “Don’t worry about it…” Her eyes roved over his shoulder, glaring. He followed her gaze to where Aloth stood, still watching them both.
“I don’t like that man…” Lyn crossed her arms, meeting Grimm’s eyes. “And you know that’s saying something.” Her gaze drifted over to where Nyx lay, still wrapped in his blankets. He was twitching, probably having heard the commotion, but was still out of it.
She clenched her fists, paling. Any other time he would’ve already jumped head first into the conflict…been wide awake at the first smell of danger.
Grimm laid his hand on her shoulder. Met her eyes. “Hey…he’s gonna be alright. We’re going to get out of here.” Lyn bit her lip, but nodded. She wrapped her arms tighter around herself, looking at the other pairs in the room, deep in their own conversations, now eyeing Grimm warily.
“I think…this might work better if…maybe you could make friends with some of the other guys?” Lyn shrugged, offering a small smile.
Grimm glanced around the room, meeting their glares. He let out a sigh.
“You’re probably right, but I doubt they’re going to be very willing. Especially now. And Aloth…”
Lyn‘s eyes narrowed, fists hitting her side, “I didn’t mean him. Stay away from him.”
Grimm raised a brow. Lyn quirked her lips, looking away.
“Sorry…I know you can handle yourself.” She gave a small chuckle. “I just…” She looked at the ground. “Hate people who think they can…use others…just because they have power and…”
“I understand,” Grimm said.
Lyn looked up. “You do…don’t you?” She gave a sad smile, and then looked back at her sleeping companion, eyes softening once more. She sighed, shaking her head.
“And…I’ll try to make friends,” Grimm smiled slightly.
Lyn let out a small laugh. “Good luck,” she winked.
Grimm nodded, turning to look at Ty and Everton, who were speaking to their own companions.
He stepped towards the two groups. The two young men immediately turned, eyes wary, Ty’s hand clenched around his knife.
“I apologize for earlier,” Grimm started. “I should’ve warned you all before I shifted. That’s my own fault,” he said. No one spoke. “Point is…we need to find a way out of here. I figure, the three of us,” he looked at Ty and Everton, “Have a solid chance of breaking down one of the doors.”

Riker
“B…But…I could’ve…I almost…” November didn’t finish, trailing off as Riker slowly and carefully pulled November’s head into his lap.
November leaned into his embrace.
“I already said it, November, we weren’t going to leave you. No matter what you could have or almost did.”
“B-But-”
“Shh…” Riker soothed, brushing red curls out of November’s eyes and off his forehead, “we weren’t leaving you, and we won’t leave you, November. Because we care about you.”
There was another word for it, but Riker wouldn’t exactly put those words in Zlatan’s mouth, nor did he know if he had the courage to say it himself.
Because when you loved someone…
…you had a good chance of losing them.
UGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! 😭❤️😭❤️

#ProtectSebJanuary 9, 2023 at 4:46 pm #128618@freedomwriter76 hey!! What if Arabella and Ellie (up to u) ran into Leo and them??
im just imagining Ara meeting Leo and feeling sorry for him/caring for him and standing up to his mother (but she wouldn’t be able to do anything about it and probably end up like “captured by them” or something in return for being able to help Leo)
And then it comes out that Leo met Paxton and Ara is the sister Paxton kept talking about and yea idk I just think it would be really sweet

@lightoverdarkness6. @godlyfantasy12. @mineralizedwritings. @loopylin.
Wolfgang
Joshua turned to Carmen and Carter. “We met Paxton earlier in the castle, before we were all somehow…transported to different places.”
Wolfgang felt a sudden tap on his shoulder, and he looked down to meet Paxton’s gaze. “W-Where’s the o-o-others?” Paxton asked quietly.
Wolfgang bit his lip and faced Joshua, who sighed quietly and smiled softly. “We…we don’t know, Paxton. They disappeared just like you did. We don’t know where they are…or who they’re with…”
Wolfgang brushed hair out of Paxton’s eyes and smiled. “But we’ll find them, Pax, don’t worry.”
Camille
The girl leaned down. “I’m an elf!”
Camille’s eyes widened.
An elf!?
She’d heard of those in storybooks Mama had once read to her too!
She gasped. “An elf!? That’s so cool!”

@godlyfantasy12. She said to keep going unless one of her charries absolutely had to say something, so you can go, but it’s totally up to you. 😉
AND YES!!!! I’d love to combine those groups!!! (Bc alas, I keep forgetting about Ellie. XD) You wanna RP them meeting up? 😉
And yes, it’s totally fine if you’re tagging me! 🙂 I’ll try to be on when I can still! 😉
January 9, 2023 at 5:15 pm #128626@freedomwriter76 sure! @loopylin @mineralizedwritings @lightoverdarkness6 do one of y’all wanna RP in our group next?
November
November looked up at Riker, feeling as some of the burning inside and around him faded away.
They…they did care…
Why else would they stay….?
November looked away, eyes glassy. He bit down the emotion rising to his throat, refusing to cry, not wanting to seem childish.
Though, at the moment, all he wanted to do was curl into Riker’s arms and cry.
A single tear ran down his cheek, this time not burning up at impact, cooling his skin. He felt as Riker gently brushed it away, pulling November closer.
Zlatan gently reached down under November’s torso, lifting him into more of a sitting position. “Do you think you can stand?” He asked softly.
November muscles ached, but he slowly nodded, head still leaning against Riker’s chest. Zlatan carefully wrapped November’s arm around his shoulder, and the ginger couldn’t help but notice the dark-haired man stiffen as he did so.
Riker did the same on the other side, and they both gently lifted November up from the ground, helping him to get his footing.
The boy winced, letting out a small cry as his burnt skin scratched against the two men’s shoulders, and his own clothes as he stood.
He felt hot. Sweaty. Sticky.
Miserable.
He whimpered.
“Easy…” Riker said, pulling him closer.
Thankfully, whatever they’d put on his skin earlier was still helping to soothe the burning a bit, but…it didn’t help with the scratchiness. Or the burning inside.
He let out a sigh.
Riker faced him. “If you need to wait…”
November considered it, wondering if he should even rejoin the others…
Should he even risk going with them?
Wasn’t he just a liability now?
If this happened again…he’d definitely hurt someone.
But…there was no way Riker, or Zlatan would leave him behind.
Which meant, he’d just have to go with them.
That is…until he got enough strength to get away himself…
“I-I’m fine…” He said hoarsely.

Arabella
“You doing alright back there?” Ara paused, turning to check on her companion.
Ellie nodded, gently rocking the fussy baby in her arms with a small laugh. “Yes…he’s just a bit tired I think. But we’re fine.”
Ara nodded, continuing ahead down the hall. She paused at the sudden sound of voices, holding a hand out to Ellie, who stopped.
“What…what is it?” The young woman whispered.
Ara shook her head, unsure.
Shadows approached from down the hall. A group, more then just one figure. Ara backed up, standing next to Ellie, glancing at the baby in her arms, who let out a few cries.
The voices stopped at the sound, the shuffling of footsteps sounding louder.
Ara’s heart beat in her ears, and she held an arm out in front of the older lady.
“Ara, I won’t let you-“ Ellie started but was cut off as the figures rounded the corner.

Dante
“Look, unless you’re planning on roasting me alive, in front of the kid, I can just go.”
Dante raised his eyebrow at the comment. “Oh, wait, no. Don’t go. I wouldn’t do that.”
He trust the torch into Ellie’s hands, who fumbled with it for a moment. Then he held up his empty hands for Corvina to see. “Look. I won’t hurt you unless you try to hurt us.” He grinned, showing his sharp teeth. “Where’d you come from? How’d you sneak up on us like that?”
“Nothing says autumn like slurpin’ apples.” -my uncle

@godlyfantasy12. Aww, November! *sobs*
Leo
They continued down the hall, Leo barely keeping up, his side aching even more with every step.
The medicine and medical care Zlatan had given him earlier seemed to be quickly wearing off.
He fought back hisses, curses, groans, and tears, pushing through the pain, same as he’d done a lot recently.
Same as he always had.
He had to be strong for his younger brothers, after all.
His thoughts were interrupted by a cry.
Frida and Felix both stopped in their tracks, and Leo did the same, silently thankful they had stopped, if just for a minute.
“…Did you hear that?” Frida whispered, leaning closer to her husband, as Felix nodded.
“I did…I think we both did. Stay behind me.” Felix pulled out his pistol, ready for anything.
Leo took in and let out a deep breath, before following his parents around the corner.
“Who’s there!?” Felix demanded, as they rounded the corner and stepped into another hallway.
January 9, 2023 at 6:05 pm #128640@freedomwriter76
Arabella
“Who’s there?!” A gruff voice shouted, echoing through the hall.
The babe in Ellie’s arm let out another cry at the sound. She soothed him, rocking him gently, eyes wide.
Ara swallowed the nervous tension that was rising to her throat.
Whoever this was…didn’t sound very friendly….
She adjusted her stance, standing tall, refusing to let them see weakness. The figures emerged, allowing them to be seen better by the two young women.
There were three men, two women.
Most of which…looked very unpleasant.
Except for one, who looked…
Extremely pale. Tired.
There were deep bags under his eyes, and his hair was disheveled. Sweat beaded on his brow, his eyes glassy, hands holding to his abdomen where….
Was that blood…?
Oh Light One…
Ellie let out a sharp gasp at the sight.
Ara pinched her lips, forcing her eyes to the eldest man, gaze as calm as she could make it.
“My name is Arabella. This is Ellie, and her son. We don’t mean any harm, we’re just looking for our companions.” Her gaze once again drifted to the hurt young man, and then to those around him.
He seemed to be bleeding now…
And…no one was helping him.
A horrid thought crossed her mind, making her stomach tighten.
Had…had these people done this to him?
She bit the inside of her cheek. No, she didn’t know who this person was…but no one deserved to suffer like that…
She glanced back at Ellie, whose eyes were wide. They met eyes, and seemingly exchanged thoughts, because the young blonde gave a subtle nod.
Ara turned her attention back to the group, eyes wary. She’d have to approach the subject gently…
“I see that one of you is injured…may we help?” She ventured.
(Leo might recognize Ara’s name idk)

Corvina
The red creature was grinning now. He tossed the stick to the girl beside him, who fumbled with it for a moment, before holding it up like a torch.
“Oh, wait, no. Don’t go. I wouldn’t do that.”
Corvina raised a brow, as did blue-skin, though she seemed more agitated then anything.
“Look. I won’t hurt you unless you try to hurt us.” The one-eyed creature, ah, male, held up his hands for her to see. As if that made her at ease. “Where’d you come from? How’d you sneak up on us like that?”
Corvina quirked her lips, crossing her arms. So the creature was curious, that was it.
Well, she wasn’t very well going to start spilling her life story to a bunch of strangers.
“How did I get here? Like all of you I suppose.” She said, “But as for sneaking up on you…I don’t have to tell you anything.”
Blue-skin didn’t seem too pleased with that. Her eyes narrowed into slits, fists falling to her side, fire in her gaze.
“You will tell us whatever we wish.” She spoke, full of authority.
Corvina glared at her, poking her tongue into her. She stifled a laugh.
“Uh-huh. I don’t think so.”
