Devine couldn't believe how stupid this was sadly Anders and Trista's attacks weren't doing anything to aide her. ' Bite him hard Anders straight on the leg, I need to get away. ' When the fox jumped onto the beasts back biting hard down on the scruff of his neck she had a gap, a few second to run as fast as she could. ' You stupid cat, We're saving your sorry hide. Though mind you I've a good mind to kil you.' Turning around she stopped short. ' Stay away Trista and Anders.. I can not always control my powers. ' Well here it was reveling her secret to them. Without a fear she looked at him. ' Don't you know, haven't you guess I'm not just a mere wolf I'm a sentile I have the powers of the godess. I can stop you I can control you to my will I could if I wanted to.' With a soft growl she watched him alert and ready. ' Change forms now, fight it Zeke you can't control it.'

He stopped short roaring out in pain as the fox jumped onto him and upon instinct he flipped himself landing straight on his back then he bounced to his feet. Trista landed a good distance away from them and watched. That was all she could do, she was nothing special but she was his friend and she would be there for him always.
Zeke looked up at Devine and laughed. 'Yea you are different' he called to her, for once he wasn't so scared of his beast. Something triggered and he was enjoying his power. 'You think I'm stupid. A goddess eh, I wonder what it would be like to kill a goddess' he questioned and lunged for her. Trista took flight and slammed into the side of him. The tuffled for a minute and then she backed off. The next thing she knew Zeke lie on the forest ground in human form. She then took off into the forest returning a few seconds later, it paid to hide things everyone once in a while. Trista slowly walked out of the trees, she knew that Zeke was going to be upset. She walked up to Zeke and laid a blanket over his shoulders as he finally sat up. "Thanks" he said to her in a soft tone. Trista turned back to the others "Thank you for your help, I know you didn't owe us anything but we still appreciate it" she then turned back to Zeke and crouched next to him "We'll get you some clothes after you've calmed down" he nodded his head but then looked up at Devine "A goddess eh, so is that why you have no pack and you travel with a fox" he questioned but wasn't looking for an answer.

It was always the same thing, they always wanted to attack the one with power. Pathetic really, as if they could win and if they did win...She pitied them all the more. ' You are stupid saber tooth.' There was no taunt in her tone she was dead serious. ' You could try, you wont win.' With a growl she prepared to lunge for him only to have Trista interfere. ' You stupid eagle you could have been killed. ' However angry her voice sounded she couldn't help hide the relief in her tone as Trista emerged unscathed taking of to change in her human form.
Anders changed his hand on his side wincing. " Shit you squished me. " Winded he took a deap breathe before gazing at Devine. She'd called on her powers, that wasn't good she'd been fully prepared to obliberate Zeke if need be but now she'd need to come down from the high. She looked every bit the wolf goddess now standing there watching them all carefully, this wasn't good this was dangerous. Crouching down he looked at her. " Change, human form now." He spoke softly. He could worry about her being naked later as she changed he placed his palm to hers. At least she could channel her powers through him. Some how that always worked, mind you this was the first time she'd done it in her human form. When she took a deep breathe then let against him tiredly he breathed a sigh of relief. " Okay..no more powers I promise."
He'd been selfish to have even made her show that side, her secret was now even more out in the open. Most hunted those like her, heck her old pack did what would Trista and Zeke do. Fixing them a look he turned back to Devine some what shocked. "Devine..there are marks on you." Raising her head she looked at him in confusion before releasing a soft laugh. " Silly pup." Shaking her head she looked at the black marks that snaked along her skin. " Sentile marks...." She spoke softly. Now she adverted her gaze to her palm to two markings their making her shudder visibly, was it not bad enough to be attacked by her pack but branded a traitor. Closing her hand into a fist she fixed her attention over too Trista and Zeke. " No I do not owe you anything." This time there was no kindness in her voice. They knew her secret and she was not in the least bit happy.
" Devine." Anders spoke hurriedly. Jesus the girl looked ready to kill them on the spot, only she was too weak too move now drained from the magic. " Clothes." Tossing her the dress he watched her pull it on slowly. " Just leave it Devine..." Clearly they were yet again having a conversation with out their two companions. " No..." Fixing them a dark stare she watched them carefully, " I am young and I am still learning my magic, it weakens me every time I use it. Isn't no the best time to attack me. You'd best be quick before I am healed, I hear you inherit the said gods power when kill. I'm sorry to disapoint you though, as I said i'm still learning. My powers aren't anything too facy yet." Then she tied the laces of her dress her yellow eyes continue to watch them. There was absolutely no trust as she eyed them off. " She doesn't mean it, really she's glad your fine..just we've had an issue." Anders quickly explained. " Your wrong, she had a pack...they found out what she is. Her pack doesn't believe in allowing Sentile's to live, they want her powers."
"Thank you for your help, I know you didn't owe us anything but we still appreciate it" she then turned back to Zeke and crouched next to him "We'll get you some clothes after you've calmed down" he nodded his head but then looked up at Devine "A goddess eh, so is that why you have no pack and you travel with a fox" he questioned but wasn't looking for an answer.

Zeke wasn't listening to Devine he was too focused on the feeling that was still running through him. Would he have killed Anders and Devine? Was he the blood thirst beast that so many talked about? He knew the rumors and he knew the bounty for sabers but could he really be like what so many fear. He sighed heavy with worry and looked up at Trista when she placed a hand on his shoulder "I have clothes for you in another hiding place but we will have to venture there soon" that brought a smile to his face "You birds and your hording" he said as she helped him to his feet. "You never know when it comes in handy" she said with a small giggle "Are there shiny objects in places too?" He asked but he knew she wasn't going to answer that one.
Zeke finally turned to Devine as her words hit him. "Kill you? What for? I don't care about sentiles, I have enough of my own power to worry about and a freaking murderous hunters" he said shaking off Trista's hand "No Tris" he gave her a stern look and she backed off. "I am the last of the sabers and why do you think I don't change. I had no training and with all the rumors going around about my kind and how they were extinct. Sabers feared to reproduce because of other weres breaking into their homes and killing their children" he ranted at her, his anger now boiling over and he could feel himself wanting to change again but it wouldn't happen like that this time. Some how he had made a small connection with the beast. "At least you had a family at one point, don't be so quick to judge" he hissed at her and this time he let Trista turn him and she looked at the two "You have your charge to take care of Anders and I have mine. We'll keep your secret and you keep ours. Now I have to do a little hunting of my own to keep ours under wraps" she blankly told them, no childish tone this time and no happy go-luck girl. She could be grown up when she needed she just chose to let Zeke take the lead because of his power.
They started to walk off and then she stopped and turned to them "Unless you think you are better off having a saber help to protect you guys then you should follow us..." then she thought about it, they probably had too much pride to ask for help. "The offer stands regardless of how we feel about each other but I need to get Zeke some clothes"

Devine listened to Zeke's rant her expression as usual void refusing to give away her thoughts. " You...neither of you care for an ultimate power, a higher devinity?" That caught her off guard. Everyone wanted her power now she was confused. Tilting her head she watched the pair trying to figure them out. " I wasn't judging, do not be so quick to assume." She replied icily.
Anders continued to rub his side wanting to intervene yet staying out of it. Thankfully Trista stepped in." Your a big mean tiger, Okay...secret kept." Like he gave a shit what the smelly cat was all he knew was that his side was seriously killing him. Jesus saber tooth tigers weighed a damn heap. Shaking his head he turned to Devine only to catch Trista looking at them. 'What do you thinking Devine' He asked her quickly, he unlike her really didn't care much for pride. ' I'm hurt ' She was free pickings really if they stayed. Reaching up to him for help she slowly stood up weighing up if it was better to change back into her wolf form. No she decided her magic would be too tempting. Setting her sights onto Trista she nodded head. " Calling on my magic it's taken my strength I'm too weak and Anders is hurt.." Watching them she took a small step. " And I am hunted." Here she weighed with her pride. " I need help. " She spoke softly.

Zeke turned to Devine emotionless "No we do not nor will we ever care about killing you to get your power" he said and Trista thumped him on the head "Unfortunately we have our own worries to take care of and..." Trista nudged Zeke again and he looked at her "What?" He seriously was confused at what she was trying to get at 'Not the place' she told him and he agreed "I admit that I should have looked harder at you two but hey I'm just a big mean tiger right Anders" he said and then turned away done with their conversation.
Trista's jaw dropped when Devine actually asked for help. "By all means follow us" she said with a smile. Maybe they all could get along yet. But she wasn't going to hold her breath. "I have a place that we all can camp out for a little bit and heal up. I can gather us some feed and other things if necessary since I'm the only one that's not too badly injured" she turn to Zeke and pushed him a little bit "Thanks Zeke, what was going through your head anyways" she asked in a playful manner but he looked at her with a grave expression "I let the beast take me, I let it make me believe that I wanted what it wanted"

Anders chuckled lightly despite the fact that it hurt, " Exactly Zeke your getting it now not to mention your awfully heavy, loose some weight." He joked. Arm around Devine he helped her walked. " Not to mention the overhwhelming scent, I think I preffer you as a human." For once she wasn't trying to be horrible to him. Now she was mentally exhausted each step beginning to feel like a chore. A few more steps she leant heavily against Anders as took most of her weight aiding her too walk. " I'm sorry Devine." Anders appologised. He'd been so selfish asking her to use her powers.

Zeke rolled his eyes, he didn't want to listen to them gripe the whole way to the camp site. He quickly wrapped the blanket around his waist and secured it. He then took a sharp turn to walk back to Anders and Devine "Well thanks to being a saber it's not weight it's muscle little man" he said and quickly picked Devine up bridal style and started to walk at a normal pace next to Trista. "Sorry but this slow pace is excruciating and it's bad for all of use to stay in one stop too long since your power and my bounty now" he said not really sincere in his apology to Devine.
Trista's jaw was on the floor at Zeke's act, he had never done that with anyone and wouldn't even think that he would do that for Devine but she picked her jaw up off the floor when he had glared at her and continued to lead the way to the hide out.

Anders was with Trista on this one as he stared opened mouthed at Zeke, fortunately for Zeke Devine was still naive on a few human things. As he picked her up the only protest she made was to grumble about smelling like a cat now. Besides it's not like she could find anything really to complain about she didn't have to walk now. Unable to fight her exhaustion any longer her eyes closed as she fell asleep in his arms.
Anders ran a hand through his hair still somewhat puzzled but nether the less continued to walk, " I'm small, I can hide easier & I'm fast." He spoke in his defense. Yes his pride had received a battering from zeke. " Her marks haven't gone away." He really didn't like the fact that her sentile marks were on display, what if someone saw them.

Zeke just ignored her and kept walking "How much further?" He asked Trista partly because he wanted to get her out of his arms another part was that he didn't want anyone to know that he actually liked carrying Devine like this. it wasn't because of the way she looked or acted but because she was unique like him. "Not too much further" she said and Zeke looked at Anders "Yes but I doubt you could out run me" he said with a smile "but I will give you the fact that you are small and can hide easily" "Right up here" Trista said and took a turn coming up on a highly wooded area where a cave was hidden. "In there"
((sorry it's so short...brain lag))

Anders smirked up at Trista. " I am a fox after all." Looking up at the cave he nodded his head. " I think I'd beat you I'm human form, and Devine well we know she's useless in her human form but she looks pretty so gets away with being well... Naive." With a chuckle he moved towards the cave. " Thankyou, seriously for helping her."

Trista worked her way into the cave near the back and sat down against a wall, she was pretty exhausted from the traveling and Zeke. Zeke just thought it was a good idea to just stay quiet and stop picking on Anders. "Well we all have our good points and bad points" Once he got to Trista he gentle set Devine down and joined Trista. "Alright so I'll start a fire while you go and get me some clothes" Trista nodded her head and headed out of the cave yet again to take flight. She knew it was a long shot to get to rest. At that Zeke got up and headed out as well to grab some fire wood. "Be back shortly" Trista called and headed out. Zeke didn't say a thing when he left.

Anders managed a nod of his head in response. " Okay see you soon Trista." As soon as Zeke layed Devine down on the ground he moved swiftly to her side. Really his pride was hurting with Zeke and Trista having to do all the work. However no way in hell was he leaving Devine's side. Crouching down he brushed her hair away from her face lightly. Sitting down he gazed at the markings on her face. What did they all mean anyway. Gently he reached out to inspect her palm.

Trista didn't go too far, she was tired and just wanted to get back and relax. Between meeting up with Anders and Devine and Zeke's on the fly transformation she was getting worn out. Though she never would have thought that the profit meant this by a new beginning. However Trista would take what she got but she hoped that Zeke would realize soon that it wasn't going to always be the two of them. They needed help and their new companions where the key. Trista glided back to the cave on the winds, she really didn't want to do much work in her lazy state.
He hunted the close surroundings for some dried wood and rocks. Anything to get a quick fire started cause he was exhausted but didn't want to admit to it. He finally decided on a few things and made his way swiftly back to the hide out. He quietly entered not wanting to wake Devine and deal with her bark at him. He set up a smile ring of rocks and then placed the dried wood inside. He grabbed his two best rocks that he found and struck them together. It took a couple of times to get it right but he finally got a spark off to hit the dried debris and wood.

Anders looked up at the cave entrance as Zeke walked in. Figuring out why Zeke was being so loud he couldn't help but laugh. " She's not going to wake up till she's healed from summoning her magic, be as loud as you want she's not going to bite your leg of this time." He joked. Standing up he relaxed his tense form, " I'm still not sure I understand why you wouldn't attack her, you could do anything you like."
