Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap! What do we do?!" he said to Katina, overridden with panic.

Quickly calming down, he nodded his head, and lifted Chris' legs while Katina got his arms. "There's a medical ward right there." he said, pointing towards a small building not too far away.

When Christopher awoke, he had a terrible headache. He tried to sit up but screamed in pain when he moved his left leg. Oh God, it was broken. He had broken his leg during the fall off the cliff. But then he noticed he was sitting on something strange and unnatural. Holy s**t! It was Boon, one of the wolf caretakers. Oh no... Where could Lyall be!

Christopher's mind raced and throbbed as he scanned the area desperately. His eyes widen in terror at the sight he saw. Lyall was surrounded and covered in blood. The poor female wolf, her ribs had puncutred through her flesh, and her head had been cracked against a rock. Yet she was still alive. Tears running down his face from the sight and from the pain, he crawled over to her. He kept crying out in pain as he moved closer but he didn't care. Lyall was suffering!

When he reached her, she was whimpering and looking at him with this pained look in her eyes. Christopher whimpered as he cried, not being able to take the sight. He couldn't bare it. Then it came to him...

He reached for a nearby rock and raised it in the air but hesitated for a moment. But he forced himself to bash the rock against Lyall's head several times to put her out of her misery. After he finished the grusome deed, he let out a scream of frustration, rage, and madness.

What happened next was a blur. It was like he was dormant until he felt hands touching him... His first instinct was to...

------------------------

When Katina and Erik put their hands upon him and started to carry him, Christopher shot straight up and pulled his knife on them both. He dropped to the ground and crawled backward, letting out a low growl. They were a threat in his eyes... until the world around him came back into focus. He saw the knife in his hand, then looked up at the woman, then to a terrified Erik.

"Oh my God..." Christopher managed to utter as the knife dropped from his hands, realizing what he had just done.

Right when Erik grabbed his brother's legs, Chris came back into consciousness. Chris growling and pulling out his knife, Erik quickly backed up against the railing. This wasn't like before in jungle, where it was just a scare, this time, it was a real threat, and Erik's animal side was taking measures to protect itself. The fight or flight reflex kicking in, Erik lost most control of himself, the fox being in control now, and it chose to flee.

But luckily, it only ran to the side of the duplex and hid behind some bushes. Curled up, whimpering like a little puppy, he was a sad sight.

She nodded at his request and began to look for his brother, where could he be. Not long after that she found him hiding behind a duplex whining,poor thing." Hey, its ok come out from behind there your brothers worried about you." She tried to give him an encouraging smile but her worry seeped through.

She soon heard the other man yelling something about killing someone, a Lyall. She didn't know what was happening and she began to loose control of her emotions, she just wanted to scream. After relaxing a bit she went back over to the sick brother and tried to comfort him," Its ok I am sure it was for the best." What was she saying she didn't even know what he was talking about," I am sure Lyall will forgive what ever you did."

Snot was leaking down Christopher's face as he sniffled. He used his shirt to wipe it away and his hands to dry his eyes. He sensed Erik standing not too far away and looked up. He turned away immediately, seeing the look in Erik's eyes. He was staring down at him like some wild dog... like some freak. It was like having a dull rusty blade plunging into him and twisting deeper. Chris's pointed ears lowered as if they had been deflated.

"...I'm so sorry..." Christopher couldn't stop apologizing. "I'll understand if you don't forgive me... I'll just... I'll just leave..."

Christopher stood up, his body still shaking from the whole incident, and went into his duplex. He didn't shut the door behind him though. He walked over to his personal 'shrine' and grabbed the music box off the top. He walked back out, his head hung low, and locked the duplex door behind him. He started to walk away but looked back at Eric one last time, Chris's eyes expressing his guilt.

However, it proved too much to even gaze at his brother. He realized how sh**ty of a brother figure he really had been. First there was the incident in the woods where he came close to pulling a knife on Erik then for the accidental ear gouging. Then there was his bellowing at Erik when he rammed into the door and startled Christopher, causing him to topple over. Now this... and this last one was just simply unforgivable.

He looked away once more and made his way towards the jungle/forest. He would just leave everyone alone and become a recluse. This way it was assured he couldn't put anyone in harm's way ever again. He didn't know what was happening to him but these terrible memories were being relived once more like he hadn't even overcome it. As long as he was experiencing this, he knew he shouldn't be here. He wanted his friends to be safe.

'Just disappear,' Christopher tried to convince himself. 'It's for the best... I'm just a monster. I shouldn't be around these people. They don't deserve this, especially Erik. This is the best method to protect them. Just... vanish.'

Katina just stood there watching the two brothers,when the youngest began to cry she couldn't help herself any longer. She marched over the the eldest one and glared at him," If you truly are sorry and dont want to hurt your brother than stay." She points to the young one," Look at him, does he look like he wants you to leave. You're his brother , family and family sticks together!" Tears of anger begin to form.
