Amelie wanted to laugh at their bickering, but she didn't know how well that would turn out. So she just kept trotting along. Not waiting to get home. But it would be a long journey yet, if she kept at this pace. And so she ran.
Kiera sat there on the floor for a second, her brain registering that she was out. She was out. But her body still remained still. She was traumatized. Why had nothing changed since she left? It obviously hadn't been as long as it had felt. Her face was expressionless. Vacant and stony. After about an hour she picked herself up. Her clothes was in rags from the sheer amount of power that she had used to keep light on herself in that wasteland. Her hair was messy. Her skin was pale as snow. And she finally took a deep breath in. Taking herself out of sleep mode, she took a long glassy look at Paradioa before leaving the room, and quickly stepping downstairs. She didn't look at shortstraw, nor did she plan to. Something had snapped, in there.

*Yuji lost to Veira and went quiet. Needless to say what he told her to do didn't matter. And even though she respected him, she didn't respect him. DId it make sense, not to him. To her perhaps... maybe it was a twisted little brain teaser. Yuji noticed the sun's possition now, "It will be dark with a hous time. So we should be arriving at dust at ths pace hun," He patted her side, "But i'm in no hurry i fyou wanna stop for anything." He smiled, "As long as veira isn't eating my brains next." Veira suddnely went wide eyed of in sudden thought. "I never tried brains before. Never thought of it. I always ate everything from inside, but never though of the brains... that would probably be nice and juicy too..." Yuji almost got sick as she put in fingure to her mouth in thought.
Meanwhile Shortstraw didn't get up. He figured she woudn't want anything to do with him for a while. But this was the first time he saw he just run out of hter room like that. Was she late to somthing else he didn't know about? He looked to his little golden book and kept reading.

Amelie shook her head. "I'd prefer to get back as soon as possible. I'm better running in dark, anyway. Senses are more alert. You can have a nap, if you like. I could run a little softer if you want." She offered. But she was just in that kind of mood. It was true, she didn't want to stop running. That would make her lazy and not want to do anything more. She was already pumped up and rest would calm her down.
Kiera ran to the kitchen, over to the sink, filled it with freezing water, and dunked her head inside. She held it there, for a couple of minutes, before ripping her head out of the water and coughing. Still she felt nothing. Not the icy water that was trickling down her neck nor the feel of her wet hair. She hung herself over the sink, suspended with the weight of her body on her arms that were clenched to the edge of the counter.

*Yuji smiled and rubbed her fur* "Nah i'll stay up with you, besides i'm suppost to anyways..." He chukkled remembering a few nights ago. And then the event this moring. Meanwhile Veria was already asleep, leaning back in yuji's lap.*
Shortstraw flipped the page in full interest. He didn't think aobut this. He never thought he would find somthing like he had inside this little book. Then again that was only becuse this one was actully real. There were sections of full deatail... it was amazing... he couldn't tak ehis eyes off of the book and was in full consentration and intrest. He didn't here a sound from teh kitchen from way up stairs form Keira, he had no idea somthing was wrong.*

Amelie chuckled a little, before shrugging her large wolfy shoulders. "Fine fine. Have it your way. We'll be there soon, anyway. If we keep going at this pace." She kept running, through the snow. Until it turned back to grass again. Then woods. Wood were her calling, she felt safe here. Nut she smelt the thing that Hikari hadn't smelt the first time. A pack boundary. She didn't fear it, however. As she was probably the biggest and baddest thing in these woods. And the wolves that probably roamed here were normal.
Kiera brought a hand to her face and wiped the water away, before attempting to dry her hair against one of the spare cloths. She stood there for a second, contemplating her own humanity, before walking back upstairs again. Now her steps were slow and heavy, without effort. And she walked to her door. She only just realised she didn't want to go in there, not now. So she stood. In front of her door. Her expression as pale and vacant as when she first got out. She looked like a doll, of all things.

*Shortstraw looked up at her and at first didn't see the problem with her. THen he sensed it and slowly held the book open and attempted to at least try talking to her. "Hey... i got this book and... well look! It explains all these diffrent leadanday demons... and theres the paradioa thing i saw in your room that one time..." He replied. Truly enough there was two whole pages on Paradioa right there in text. But he wasn't sure she would talk to him, nor was he sure she was lisening to him. Would she even look to the book?*

His words went through one ear and out the other. But she had actually registered that he was attempting to talk to her. The first time he had talked to her since the night. Which seemed like centuries ago, now. Kiera tilted her head to one side, stretching her neck a little. But didn't look to him. The very mention of the name Paradioa made her stomach clench in anger. Her head turned so slowly, ever so slowly, to look at the book. Her eyes blinked slowly and, she grabbed the book. Held it tight in her hands. Then promptly set it on fire. Soon the book was reduced to ash, and slowly fell through her delicate looking fingers.

*The boy felt all the pressure on him as he watched it turn to ash in her fingures. That book belonged to yuji, he stollen it and it had all sorts of interesting ledandary demons. Now he couldn't return it, and even worse he felt she was even more angry at him now then before. He cryed. Like a kid his age, he cried unsure what else to do. He was a weakness, she would surely distroy him next... it's been eating at him all this time.*

Kiera forgot that she could read minds. And ever so suddenly, thoughts from everyone started to pour into her head. Like a constant loop of talking. Her eye twitched a little. Then the boys thoughts came into her head. They were more soothing than the frantic ones of other people. But still her head hurt, when no other part of her body would. She looked to the boy, with glassy doll eyes. Watched him cry. Usually peoples pain made her feel better. Sustained her. But she felt nothing, nothing. She didn't even feel frustrated about it, either. There was just nothing. Then a spark, a small flicker in her chest. And Kiera did something she vowed to herself that she would never do again. She hugged him. Not exactly the greatest sentimental moment she had ever experienced. But in all honesty, she missed having something close. And that need had just sparked inside her.

*He sniffled in the sudden supprized hug. Was she going to do it now? Going to burn him up. Her hands didn't feel like they were going to. They wern't hot.* He sniffled in silence unsure how things would become. Was this just a hug/ From mis keria? Did he actully do anything right for once? He wanted to talk but couldn't find the vioce. No longer was he crying and for some odd reasion, he wasn't in fear either. He wanted to ask, 'are we okay now.' he just couldn't make the sound.*

Kiera felt the spark flood through her whole body, which caused her to hug him a little tighter. She didn't paticularily know what she was doing either. But she could read his mind, anyway. Her mind wasn't full into processing, yet. Just because of this one moment of spark didn't mean that she had changed into a better person. Oh no. This was just a human need that she couldn't deny, and as her body was recovering it opened up all the feelings that she had tried to forget about before she was thrown in the wasteland. But she couldn't bring herself to unlatch herself from the boy.

*The boy finally accepted it when he was hugged tighter, so tight his arms and legs dangled, it was alittl funny to see, if anyone was ever around to see it. Which no one had. The boy did feel as if perhaps he was forgiven... maybe this was a sign she wouldn't distroy him. Shoud he keep tring as he origanly wanted to. Would she really see him as a weakness like the others. Paradioas chukkled was heard in the room. No words just a deep creepy chukkle.* Finally however the boy, still in the hug asked, "what am i going to do about the book now though... Mr Yuji will kick me out he finds out i stole it..." he reaplied alittle sad at the thought.*

Kiera opened her mouth to speak, knowing how she would reply. But the words didn't come out. She hadn't spoken in so long. It felt weird to even think about talking. Hearing the chuckle from the other room, she unlatched herself from the boy, then looked inside the room. She grabbed the door handle softly, then just slammed the door shut. No, she wasn't going to go in there anytime soon. She would sleep on the sofa if she had to. If she ever slept anymore. She just would not want to see or even hear that thing again. Otherwise she might just snap. If she hadn't snapped already, that is. She looked back to the boy, but her eyes were still without purpose. Then, she finally spoke. "Just blame me. If Yuji tries anything, I'll snap him like a twig." Her voice was airy and lacked any sense of ambition. She wouldn't even acknowledge Yuji as her father anymore. And with that, Kiera looked behind herself at the stairs. Her ears twitched a little. Her parents were home.

*Yuji hopped off Ameile and put Veira down softly on the couch. He was woraned to never enter her room, that would give her another reasion to eat one of his organs which he was tryin to hard not to still go on or rant about. Meanwhile he asked amiele, "so what do you wnat to do now hun?"
Meanwhile shortstraw looked to the door. Somthing happened while she was in there. that or she didn't want him to see somthing. As she spoke her answer about the book he nodded, "okay." He replied. He looked to her, "though i already read it four times." He smiled at the way he said it and looked away alittle, unsure what to say now due to the weird Keria moments they were having right now.*

Amelie was in her human form now, and she stretched her back out a little. She really had to get used to people riding on her back, it was still as uncomfortable as when people first did start riding on her. She didn't know how Hikari put up with it. And Amelie shrugged at Yuji. "I dunno. But i need to get changed, i'm all sweaty." She lifted her arm up to reveal a small sweaty patch under her armpit.
Kiera looked back to the boy. She really didn't know what to do know. Mostly because, she forgot about what she was doing before Paradioa caged her. She didn't really feel like doing anything, either. Her mind was full of the same Kiera thinking as before, but her body didn't want to do anything at all.
