"Guys, Something doesnt feel right." Missy said mainly to herself. She felt as if something was cutting her ties with her friend. She couldnt tell why but something was telling her to find Lithil. "I think somethings wrong with Lithil." She said taking in deep breaths. "Orex, If you find Lithils scent, follow it." Missy ordered with a panic tone to her voice.

Seeing Lithil run away, probably in her 'animalistic mode', Virgil frowned. This'll be harder than I thought... he thought to himself, and turned the jeep back on. He wasn't about to give up the chase yet.
Yet it wouldn't be enough to just keep up with her. Virgil had to pull her out of her mindset first. Wait...I can send words as thoughts...why not other types of thoughts?
Putting the jeep in gear, and pressing the pedal down, Virgil got the jeep in behind Lithil. From Virgil's mind was an overriding command, radiating calmness. Peacefulness. Tranquility. Etc. Anything to get Lithil to calm down, stop, and be willing to talk. Not necessarily go back to the larger group, Virgil rather liked Lithil as a companion, and her survival skills were worth having.

Orex reared up and changed back into a dragon, wings and all. He turned and crushed a wall with his tail. "Hold on! It's about to get really rough!" He threw himself out into the street and broke into full stride, covering city blocks in seconds. He could smell her and the scent was getting stronger. After a short while, he spotted a jeep speeding after a slumped figure, which was...no, it couldn't be. Was it? It was Lithil, who was running full-speed on all fours. As he caught up with them, he slowed and eyed the driver. He looked distracted.

Ian inadvertently dropped the radio when Orex took off runnin. He watched it hit, then break apart, on the road below. "We lost the radio." he informed them. It was the little adrenaline rushes like these that clicked in military training and instinct. "Hold on to someone!" he said quickly. "This is really bumpy, I don't want one of you three falling off and getting trampled."

Missy did as she was told she held on to Pandora's hand and Ian's as well. She watched as Lithil was running away. She noticed the jeep and a rush of relief came rushing into her. "Look, It's Virgil!"She practically screamed to them while silent tears sprang to her eyes. "Lithil! What are you doing! Please dont leave!" Missy yelled to the creature Lithil changed to. This time her tears came down like a flowing river. She felt like she was losing part of herself. Without realizing it, she had made a bound with everyone here and it hurt to have more people leaving her. 'This feels just like every other time i have trusted someone.' Missy thought trying to stop the tears that were growing. She hated to cry, but everything that has happened in the past came crashing down on her. Every time she started to except someone they went away.

Realising the intrusive feeling imposing upon her consciousness, Lithil knew Virgil wasn't going to give up that easily. He probably wanted a reason, an answer, a spoken or thought anything to why she was running away. He wanted something she couldn't give. How could she explain how she was dying, how she was aching for answers and stability? How could she convey these when her mind was still in turmoil? She shook her head, trying to keep as far away from normal thinking as possible, and kept running. The arrival of the rest of the group just hardened her resolve- how could she bring herself to turn back, to see their expressions of betrayal? The dim light of the city caught facets in a tear leaking down her chin, sparkling as it was thrown out behind her by the speed of her movement. No. Movement was necessary. Maybe they'd just give up. Please...

At first Pandora was confused as to why Kaz ktept sighing, but her attention was turned elsewhere when Orex changed into a dragon and started chasing after the girl called Lithl. It seemed that she was in angst. Missy had started crying after they had went through the newly made hole in the wall. She held on to Missy, and Kaz, waiting to heal someone if need be. While holding onto Missy's hand, she felt pain radiating from her heart. Wondering if she could help heal that kind of pain, she tried once again to channel that energy that had the instinct to heal herself when needed. She didn't know if it would work, but it was worth a shot. Watching the scene unfold before her, she felt like someone who started watching a movie halfway through and was completely lost, but had a feeling as to what was going on.

Missy could feel Pandora trying to heal her pain. She smiled through the tears and look at her new friend. "Some things arent worth healing." Was all she could say. She turned to face Lithil. "Lithil, I know you can here me!" She yelled at the top of her lungs. "Are you just going to leave us all. I though we were sisters!" She added. She wasnt going to let go, not without a fight. "You are going to listen to me! I have been through hell and now that i have finally found someone that could be the sister i never had and the family i could only wish for, you try to leave me! Didnt our friendship mean anything to you?" She sad while standing up on Orex's back. She wanted Lithil to hear every word, no matter if it killed her or not.

Pandora only stopped because it appeared that Missy didn't want help. The thing she was trying to heal wasn't her pain over Lithl, it was the reminders of her past. She concentrated on holding on. Although she could heal herself, the pain would still come if she fell.

Ian was about as confused as he could get. He wondered why Lithil had run away...her last radio message had said she was returning home... What if she meant it literally? He looked up when Missy stood. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't dare pull off the move he was about to do...but sitting on the back of a dragon riding shotgun to a blue jeep in hot pursuit of a shapeshifter was NOT normal circumstances. He reached out, and put an arm around Missy's legs, somewhere in the area between her ankles and knees. "Don't fall now, mate." he said, looking ahead. He had nothing to say on the situation.

Missy was starting to give up she had Pandora's hand in hers and Ian was holding her legs. She sisnt know what to do. She sat down and pulled her knees to her chest. She didnt look at Lithil or at anyone. She stared at the ground racing under her. She wished so badly that she was alone so she wouldnt feel so weak. "What's the point of making friends when they just leave you in the end?" missy asked searching for answers.

Ian stared at Lithil, wondering if they where going to catch up. And even if they did...could they find their way back? Ian leg go of Missy's legs as she sat back down. "She likely has her own reasons...but I'd like an explanation first." he said quietly. Still at a loss for what to do, seeing as she was hit the hardest, Ian put a hand on her shoulder. "She'll be fine." he added.

Pandora felt as if she needed to stay out of their business, however, she wanted to help. "Maybe it is something she has to do. Sometimes it takes isolating yourself to realize how much you actually have." She added thoughtfully. Pandora gave Missy a small smile, trying to say that she wouldn't leave.

Kaz watched in silence as the dragon beneath him got closer to the jeep and Lithil. "This isnt good, Missy we are gonna make this right dont worry, Pandora.......help her through this." He looked at Ian and gave him an assuring nod before using Orex's momentum to launch himself off the beast, through the air, and land on the jeep. Carefully he climbs in the passanger side window and asseses the situiation. hmmm, this is going to need more than just Virgil He thought and proceded to help Virgil in bringing Lithil atleast to a stop.

Pandora's eyes flashed accusingly at Kaz. What else did he think she was doing? "Maybe Lithl doesn't want to stop. Ever thought of that?" She asked sharply. Pandora wasn't fond of orders. "Besides, I think It would be best if she stayed here with Ian" She called out to Kaz. "I'll help you." Pandora said forcefully before jumping off of orex and landing smoothly in the back of the Jeep. She stood up, holding onto the cross bars. "So, what's the plan?"
