Sibyl realized that Jaden was fragile, the animal in her could more than sense it and that'd been precisely why she'd insisted on making her way over to him. She figured he probably wouldn't be in the best mental state to leave him completely on his own so she'd decided to accompany him. It was the least she could do after leaving for months without anything so much as a goodbye though her sister had whisked her away without warning. She was determined to somehow make it up to her pack but it was ultimately Jaden's say on whether she was still a part of the pack or not.
She realized that he might want to be left alone but at the same time she figured that if she was sad that she'd initially want to be left alone so people wouldn't see her weakness but at the same time she'd want someone to remind her of what and who she was. Everyone lost themselves sometimes and Jaden had a lot to deal with and more than one persona taking in everything he experienced. She was certain that for Jaden it was much easier to lose himself than for a human to.
When Sibyl smelt him bleeding from Jaden's wound, she became concerned and hurried after him, not even taking notice of the fact that she'd stopped blooding so naturally she had no chance of making the connection that Jaden was healing her by harming himself.
The wolf hobbled beside him, still limping though not as predominantly as she had been beforehand. Her eyes had reverted back to lavender and they gazed up at Jaden as she walked alongside him. She let loose a soft whimper though it was not for herself but for him. She was concerned and worried and she hated to see him hurt when he'd already been hurt so much.
She didn't know a lot about him but he'd told her enough to give her a small feel for him and she really didn't like him of all people hurting. It felt like there was another reason besides the fact that he'd been through enough that she didn't want to see him hurt but she couldn't determine what it was. Of course, she didn't dwell on it very long either as she limped alongside her Alpha male, faithful as ever as she attempted to console him or at least give him company.
~Sad isn't very becoming of you, Jaden. You shouldn't be sad.~
Her wet nose brushed against his hand and claws as she limped alongside him and then he gently nudged his hand to let her know that she was there. She didn't know what to do to make him not sad but she was going to find some way to restore his happiness or at least rid him of his sadness. He didn't need anymore than he already had and his sadness, what he'd been through was what truly made him strong. Not the fact that Soulvar resided inside of him but his ability to move on despite events such as this and not be completely cold to the world.
~You shouldn't be sad because I don't know how to make you unsad. I don't like you sad.~

Razu trailed behind them worried about the both of them. He wasn't going to leave two injured people to travel by themselves. Even deeper then that Razu found the regret for snapping at the obviously distraught alpha. Even as lost into his own feelings ( Which were being kept firmly inside him) he made sure to trail a hand against the wall leaving his scent and essence behind for the coming reinforcements.
Continuing on with exploring Razu found worry, hesitation, even more regret, and he was surprised to find, anger. He explored the emotion futher to find that all of these were connect to the decision he had made in the main sub tunnel. Worry to Jaden's reaction, hesitation to fullfil the decision, regret for having to decide to go through with it and anger towards Jaden for making Razu do it.
Duke sent a quick message that was nearly drowned in the emotions,' We will be there quickly.'

While Sibyl wasn't emotionless she definitely would have not felt the regret that Jaden had if she'd killed the people. She really didn't possess a lot of human values and if a human died she wasn't particularly disgusted by it, perhaps because they hunted her kind, perhaps because she was just detached. However, where Jaden maybe saw himself as some sinful killer, Sibyl didn't really have a full grasp of the human concept of right and wrong. She did what she had to in order to survive, protected her pack and listened to her Alpha.
Human emotions were something she was not akin to at all. She didn't really know how to handle them or how to read them if she was experiencing them. However, she could tell if someone else was sad, hostile or happy but beyond that she did not comprehend human emotions and became confused. She understood and could feel that Jaden was sad and sad, her instinct told her was something that wasn't good.
Despite Razu's attempts to keep his emotions in check, Sibyl could sense the slightest of wavering hearts in others. Her very bones could feel a tangible shift when she felt that someone was experiencing a weird emotion that was foreign to happy. While she knew almost all there was about how to kill others and survive when it came to human emotions, how they thought, how they processed things, Sibyl needed to do her homework. However, humans simply didn't make sense to her and she rarely tried too hard to decode why they were sad or angry since there were so many possibilities, especially when they lied.
~What's going on, Razu? You seem ... uneasy? I'm not good at the whole judging human emotions thing but you and Jaden both seem ... distracted and ... different in how you're acting.~

Razu murrmered quietly to her mind, 'I am fine. There is nothing to worry about with me. Tell me when Jaden seems more himself. He and I have something to dicuss when he return's to his more normal state of mind.'
Razu thought to himself, Uneasy. Of course that was a good way of putting it as well. Or disloyal yet not disloyal. To whom though? He wasn't sure. Inside Razu's mind, where he stood in the midst of swirling darkness around in what seemes like a nice river and field, he narrowed his eyes. This storm would pass with time. Just like everything else did. Like when his wife was killed and KatsuMomo kidnapped. Or when Lucife betrayed him. When he found out about Ceon taking Layna from Razu. The hurt of losing Layna to Ceon for a second time. All of it was once a storm and had passed. Hadn't it? More darkness swirled around Razu and he realized that the hurt was still there. As strong as ever. It had just gone away. His wife, Layna. No female would or could stay with Rasheed. They left him....someway or another.
He murmmered to Sibyl,'I'm fine. I'm fine. There's nothing wrong with me.'

It took some time ambling but Jaden finally came to a stop, only when the blood on his body had dried into a shell on his hands. "I-i don't want to do this... anymore..." he whimpered childishly, using his left arm to wipe the imaginary tears out of his eyes leaving trails of drying blood across his cheeks. "I don't want to eat them anymore... I-i still feel them inside..." Sniffing slightly he held his hand over his heart rather than his stomach. "I don't want to eat them..." The puppy itself had once co-existed with the wolf, and like the other two in the same vessel it did not have a determined age. There were times when it was an infant and times when it was a cocky teenager. Right now it was somewhere in the middle, old enough to know what that something was wrong but powerless to stop it.

~You lie. However, I will tell you when he seems to be better. Are you sticking around or leaving?~
Sibyl stopped at Jaden's side and gently sat down, lifting her paw into the air to keep as much pressure as she possibly could off of it. She was patient as she travelled at his side, she was fine with waiting for Jaden to recover and she was fine with Razu following along as well. There was no reason he couldn't and she saw no reason that she wouldn't be allowed to follow after Jaden but he could be confusing sometimes.
As opposed to hugging him, she leaned her head into his leg and her wet snout gently glanced across it as well. Clearly she wasn't disgusted by all of the blood but she'd been desensitized by such things. Blood had been shed almost daily in her pack when she'd been growing up. Disputes, arguments, they were settled through fights, sometimes to the death.
~I know you don't ... I'm sorry I couldn't stop you ... I tried.~
Sibyl really couldn't keep track of the age that Jaden seemed to act since he shifted around quite a bit. She was most familiar with the wolf, the Alpha side of him but she'd seen the puppy as well and a gentler side that was probably a mixture of the wolf and the puppy when he'd been telling her stories. She remembered the stories for she'd grown up being told stories by the elders of her pack.

Razu muttered again,' Staying. I need to be here when he turns back to Jaden the alpha. '
His thoughts went back to the past, the dark winds whirling around Razu now mixed with the red of anger as he thought about his wife's death.
With a whimper Razu jerked away from the memory and crouched his hands holding his head between his legs. 'No, No, NO! I don't want to remember it anymore! NOOOOOO.' His mouth open in a silent scream as his thought projected into the people physically closest to him.

Jaden fell to his knees and actually cried out in physical pain. It wasn't a matter of assimalating over fifty souls into his own that was disturbing him but Razu. There were connections to the thing behind the black door and suffering was something that seeped through. The always ravenous creature held onto the pain coming from the Lycan and tugged at it, trying to pull more from him while the wolf held the door. The tearless sobs began again. "Somebody make it stop!" the puppy cried. This wasn't the first time this scenario had occured, which was why it was so familar to it, but it wasn't any less painful.

Razu, though his thought was an unpleasant one, normally wouldn't have affected Sibyl but as she realized there was a cub involved she couldn't help but think of her mother. The wolf felt a slight jab but she knew that out of the three of them clearly she was the fittest mentally though physically she was probably the worst off. However, that wasn't going to prevent her from assuring both of them were alright. Stubborn but strong, she had enough energy to keep up and her pain thresh hold was a lot stronger.
~What happened to you two when I left? You're wrecks.~
When Jaden began crying out in physical pain she almost panicked but she listened and didn't understand what was happening. She didn't know how to stop this, how to help him. There was nothing she could do and feeling powerless to do something was something Sibyl hated.
~Tell me how to help, Jaden ... I'll help but I need to know how.~
She began to growl and then a soft whimper emerged from her as she gently laid herself beside Jaden and licked his leg in attempts to comfort him. Her tongue gently began clearing blood, her own wound had already stopped bleeding though her fur was terribly matted with blood and she was going to need to clean herself later but now Razu and Jaden clearly needed her.

Duke and Steffon bothed yanked Razu towards them, wrapping their warmth around him brushing aside the dark clouds around him.
Steffon cooed,' It's alright Razu. We're here for you. Everythings going to be alright. Just stop sending those thoughts to the others okay?'
Duke did what needed to be done. He blocked Razu's mind for him stoping the flow of pain from the other two. 'Razu stop being silly. You've been with this memory for many decades. Why are you now acting like this? You didn't when it happened. You took it like you did everything. Into stride and you made it yours.'
Razu sobbed, 'It just happened. It won't leave. I thought I got over it and that I accepted it but....it won't leave me! It won't!'
Steffon pushed aside the pushy bird,' Razu...it always will be there but don't take it out on the others! Your pain is causing them pain! Let us deal with together like we always do!'
Razu looked up his friends both not animals but human formed creatures. 'Alright. I'm sorry.' Razu's tears dried up as he stood up. 'Thank-you. You always save me in the end.' He hugged the two and they stayed that way for awhile before Steffon pulled away.
'I must go. I must be on my guard down there. It is not easy. Bye and I hope I see you soon.' Steffon disappeared from sight.
Duke pulled away as well,' We are close. We found all the herbs and will be on our way as soon as we picked the rest of the berries.'
Razu bade both good bye as he came back to his physical form.
He stood up and looked at the the scene before him. He whispered,"I am sorry."

 What Duke looked like in Razu's human form Steffon as a human in Razu's mind  ((Putting this here because this part is very important to these three's history))

Jadens crying eventually stopped but the wolf had to hold the door harder since the beast behind it was pushing for another taste of Razu. Sniffing slightly he began petting Sibyl abscentmindedly. "I'm cold..." he muttered gently. "I... want my coat..." He shivered gently, the cold air of the subway trying to bite into him.

Sibyl wasn't impressed that Razu as well as Steffon had lied to her when she'd told them it was pointless to lie to her. Liars weren't tolerated from where Sibyl originated from, however, she was in no place to be demanding anything or telling Razu what he could or could not do. She'd given up her position of authority when she'd abandoned her pack because of her sister. However, Sibyl didn't blame her sister, she blamed herself. She hadn't been strong enough to resist and she'd been carted away and now she was going to have to earn her place in the pack again.
Seeing as she wasn't very impressed with Razu's lying to her she was able to put aside her sympathy for him, at least outwardly. She felt bad for Razu and felt that no one deserved to lose their mate, after all, that very thing had happened to her sister and it'd changed Olathe forever. Had Sibyl not been there she was certain her sister would not be amongst the living, not that the living were making life particularly easy or enjoyable.
~If you're cold then set yourself so you're leaning into my fur. My body heat's more than a human's is so you should be warm in no time and Razu can probably look for your coat.~
Before she asked Razu to find Jaden's coat she first laid herself across Jaden's lap so that he could hug onto her form and take advantage of her body heat. Sibyl was always warm and always felt like she was burning with a fever. Snow flakes always melted before they could touch her form and if they managed to touch her form, her body heat would soon dissolve them into nothing. She was probably the best blanket for Jaden at the moment until they could find his coat.
~Razu, can you find Jaden's coat, please? He's cold ...~

Razu nodded back to his normal self. "I threw when I wasn't myself." He closed his eyes remembering where he had accidently threw it at. Remebering he headed that way and to his surprise it was farther then he thought it would be. Picking up the coat he shook it of the dust and brought it to the shivering creature. He laided it on the sholders,"Here you go."

Daiguren found the three in the subway looking at the stat the three were in he was queit torn by what he saw. Three possible enemies two of which he knew could pose a problem in the future sat there in front of him torn and tired. He could dispatch the three and take maybe 50% damage. This was torn between his need of them. He held the berries and tossed them at Razu. His eyes a calm crimson.
