Zack

Sithy was proud that her tactic had worked.Though an antler had cut her chest.She moved over to viktor and whined pawing at him.Her head raised so her chest could be seen.

Zack had helped with the animals and then moved back to lark.He still felt awkward. He hadn't made friends with anyone before and now here he was making well a friend.

Lark & Others

Viktor looked down at Sithy. "To, chto sluchilos', devachka? What happened, girl?" He asked, bending down to look at the wound. It wasn't anything he couldn't fix. He looked back up at Adrian. "Priniat' bolee dlia menia. Take over for me." He said, leading Sithy to another room. He first tried to clean the wound while holding Sithy still.

Adrian shrugged and continued working on the deer.

Lark looked at Zack. She had made a lot of friends, often more than she could handle. She then looked down at Angela. "How about you go play with the dogs?" She suggested. Angela shrugged. She knew that it was for the best. When Dimitri and Sergei were in the same place, things could get ugly. Especially with Lark there. And now with Zack there too, it could be nearly twice as bad. She walked a good distance away, but secretly and silently turned back and climbed up into a pine tree where she could watch the group.

Sergei looked at Dimitri, then moved over to where Lark and Zack stood. "Who are you?" He asked bluntly.

Samantha,Jena

Samantha smelling Angela smiled.She followed the scent trail to the tree.A bit confused she looked around.

Jena comming up to the tree as well.They continued sniffing around tail wagging.

Nadezhda stayed by Lark silently.

Safara and the others barked some more.If they were ignored still then they shuted up.

Sithy

She whimpered and followed him.She tried best to behave as he cleaned her.Though thep ain caused her to snarl a bit.

Zack:ZackHe replied.

Lark & Others

Viktor then proceeded to stitch the wound up.

Sergei nodded slowly giving Zack a blank look before looking at Lark. "Iavliaetsia li on s vami? Is he with you?" He asked impatiently. Before Lark could answer, Dimitri came up with a reply. "Net, IA s nei! No, I'M with her!" He shot back. Sergei switched to English. "Oh, really? Who told you?" He asked arrogantly, folding his arms. Dimitri threw a punch at Sergei, and surprisingly it hit his face. "I don't need anybody to tell me, you freaking retard."

Lark watched, completely silent. She figured Zack probably didn't know what they were saying. "They're fighting over me, in case you didn't catch that. They're acting like COMPLETE IDIOTS!" She shoved the two apart. "Yeah, that's right. Sergei, if you want to stay here, you have to stay in line." She walked away and sat on the porch.

Dimitri turned back to face Sergei. "Now look what you've done, stupid." He snarled.

Angela tossed a rawhide down for the dogs and then started climbing down the tree.

Sith

She remaind as still as possible

Zack listened and grunted not understanding. He nodded and watched her. He bit his lip and then followed her.Some Men just don't know how to control themselves

Lark & Others

Viktor finished stitching Sithy up and then gave her a pigskin. He watched her to make sure she wouldn't chew off too much at once.

Lark sat on the porch, staring into the distance, not making a sound for a long time. She tried to hide the tears in her eyes but was unsuccessful.

Sithy

She took the pigskin and chewed on it.

Zack sat next to lark soon.He sighed.If you want you can cry on my shoulder

Lark

Lark sighed. She leaned against Zack, put her arms around him and sobbed.

Angela jumped down from the tree and stomped toward Dimitri and Sergei. "You two are jerks, did you know that?" She said, punching Sergei in the shoulder and walking away toward Lark. She knelt down in front of her cousin. "They won't bother you anymore. And I'll get them back, don't worry." The girl said in a soft voice. She then walked away, trying to think up all sorts of horrible pranks.

Zack

He placed his arm around her and held her allowing her to cry on him.It was best for her to get it out.

Lark

Lark eventually calmed down, pulling herself away and wiping her eyes. "Sorry...I just don't like it when people fight over me." She said quietly. "That's how my dad died."

Angela had the perfect plan. She got a key from the house, then walked to where Sergei and Dimitri stood. In a while, she was back to Lark and Zack with Dimitri following, a triumphant grin on Angela's face. "We locked Sergei in the stable. I told him that his horse died." She laughed. Then she walked away. She was going to tattle on Sergei and Dimitri to Viktor.

Lark finally smiled. "That retard falls for it every time..." She said, shaking her head.

Dimitri sat down next to Lark. "Sorry, Lark. I was way out of line." He said plainly. Lark shrugged. She knew that Dimitri may well have kept Sergei from killing somebody by getting in the way. But she didn't say that. She kept silent.

Zack

He nodded.Its alright, You know its up to you who you see not themHe sighed and then looked and listened to the other two.

Lark

Angela left the house.

Lark smiled and nodded. "That's true. But Sergei is such a jerk about it that I'm afraid he'll hurt somebody." She said sorrowfully. "I know it's wrong, but sometimes I wish somebody would just shoot him and be done with it." She pulled her pistol out and put it on the ground beside her, glancing up at Zack.

Angela stepped back. "You're not going to..." She said nervously.

Zack

He listened and sighed.He looked to the sky and then looked to the gun and raised a brow.What are you thinking?

Lark

Lark picked up the gun and gave it to Zack. "Do it." She whispered. "Nobody will miss him. Dimitri will help you." She kissed him and led Angela away. She didn't want her young cousin to see or hear this.

Zack

He took the gun. He looked at it and then listened. He then looked to Dimitri.Ah should we really be doing this?He spoke....

Dimitri

Dimitri stood up. "Yeah. We've been trying to do it for years but never got the chance." He said, walking toward the stable and getting ready to unlock the door. "Are you with us or not?"

Zack

He bit his lip and stood up.He followed dimitri.yahHe said and cocked the gun and stood ready.

Dimitri

Dimitri found the keyhole and unlocked the door. He walked in, hearing nothing. I wonder if he escaped. He thought to himself. Suddenly, Sergei jumped from the rafters and punched Dimitri against the wall, knocking him out immediately. It was all up to Zack now.

Zack

He was doing this for Lark. Why she couldn't do it confused him but oh well.When he attacked Dimitri he aimed and fired his aim was for hi head. If he missed he would then shoot again this time at his chest.

Sergei

Before Sergei could turn around, he got a bullet in his chest. He fell to the ground. "You're weak. You're killing me just for your girlfriend. Before you know it, you'll be her slave." He said, gasping for air. Before long, he fell on the ground, lifeless.

Zack

He listened but ignored it.He then pocketed the gun and moved to Dimitrie. He sat there and taped him.Hey buddy its done, come on get upHe spoke trying to wake him.

Dimitri

Dimitri opened his his. To his surprise, he could see. Only slightly, and only vague, blurry outlines, but he could see. He took his sunglasses off and tried to walk out the door but walked straight into the wall. He sighed and picked his cane up. "We should tell Lark that it's done." He said, searching around for his cousin.

Zack

He nodded and moved out the door.He waited for Dimitri and then looked around for lark

Lark

Lark walked up to Zack and Dimitri. "Did you do it?" She asked, a solemn look on her face.

Zack

He pulled the gun out and handed it to her.YahHe said. He stood still.

Lark

Lark smiled and took the gun. "There's probably something you should know about my family." She said, holstering the weapon. "We're vigilantes. But with what you just did, I figure you probably guessed that."

Zack

He listened and then shrugged.He was speachless now not sure what to say really.That guy also had thought that he was like dating lark? or something of the sort.he grunted to himself.

Lark & Dimitri

Dimitri figured it was a good thing Zack wasn't dating Lark. Not only was she his, but she was manipulative. It only gets worse when her subject loves her.

Lark shook her head, wanting to change the subject. "I'll show you the animals." She first walked to the bird area, reaching for Ossy the Osprey. "This is Ossy." She said, trying to get the bird to step onto her hand.

Zack

He nodded and followed.He's beautifulHe said

Ossy stepped up on her hand.He blinked and then stretched his wings and looked at zack.

Lark

Lark pulled Ossy out, nodding. "Yeah, he is." She said. "We have some caimans too. We're trying to find homes for some of them." She put Ossy back and walked to a huge enclosure.

She picked one of the caimans up. "This is Cheriway. She's my favorite." She held the young caiman close to her face. "She's been socialized to humans so she doesn't bite. You can pet her if you want, just don't touch her nose."

Zack

He nodded and followed her.He pet the caimen.nice

Lark

Lark smiled. "If you want one, you can have one." She said, looking into the enclosure at the young caimans. "Oh, yeah. And with Sergei gone, you can have his horse."

Zack

He shook his head.Ill take the horse but I don't want a caimen really

Lark

Lark put Cheriway back in her enclosures. "Alright." She paused, looking off in the distance. "Dimitri and I were going to go to the caverns tonight if you want to come."

Zack

He smiled and listened.Sure

Lark & Dimitri

Lark smiled and walked to the stable, leading Niko out to Zack. "Here's your horse." She then helped Dimitri with Kolya and then jumped up onto Zola's back. "It looks like we're ready. Viktor said we can take the cats with us."

Kira, Nelli, Marina and Anzhelika stood by the humans and their horses.

Zack,Koyla,Sota,Rukia,Renji

Zack nodded and climbed up onto Niko.

Koyla pawed the ground and snorted.

Sota stood near kira and the humans.

Rukia and renji were eager to go.

Lark

Lark led the group to the cavern at the Breve Ridges.
