Zeke looked up at Anders and just smiled, he really didn’t feel like being loud plus it was more for the challenge that Devine could give him. But he watched as Anders stretched and finally relaxed. He too relaxed against the cave wall as the fire began to grow. “It’s real simple Anders. Like I tried to tell her before she passed out, I do not care nor will I ever about the power she posses. I have enough of my own worries and to add her power to that of my own would just create chaos for me plus I don’t want to put Trista in anymore danger then what she already is. And that stupid bird just won’t get the hint that she needs to leave” he chuckled some and put his hands up to the fire.
“Stupid bird am I” Trista chuckled as well as she made her way to the boys and Zeke just shrugged his shoulders “Well yeah” He said in his defense but she just pushed him and dropped his clothes in his lap. “Well this stupid bird saved your ass” “thanks” he said and got up to go change “And you know I mean stupid bird in the nicest possible way right” she pushed him out of the cave as they both busted out laughing. “I swear sometimes I just want to kick his ass” Trista sat down next to Anders “How are you feeling?”

Anders managed a brief nod, Zeke sounded legit. " Your right her powers are unstable, that's the last thing you'd want, still its not often we can trust people." He explained. Frowning he continued to watch over Devine. " Her pack still hunts her.." Shaking his head he smiled up at Trista then chuckled watching as Zeke and Trista argued it was, he realised exactly how he and Devine argued. With a smile he shook his head leaning back on the cave floor. " I'll live it'll just be a bit of bruising." He explained. Still despite his exhausted state he continued to watch over Devine.

"Sorry about him...really" she said and placed a blanket under her head as she laid down next to the fire. "But I appreciate that you guys helped me...I mean really you have no idea how much you helped" she said and yawned tried to keep her eyes open but she was losing the fight as her breathing became rhythmic "Well you know it's really all your..." Zeke started to mention as he walked back into the cave and noticed that Trista was already sleeping "Ah well I'll explain it tomorrow" he said letting his voice drop as he walked back over to the fire and sat down. He noted that Anders was still up and he was curious about that but wouldn't dwell on it too much. "You should probably rest up too Anders. I'll keep watch so nothing comes to kill or eat us" Zeke said in a soft tone cause he was a little tired himself but he would be able to stay up for another day till he was able to rest. He wanted to make sure that his companions were well rested, it would help them more and the more tired he was the less his cat tried to take control.

In truth Anders was beyound exhausted as he lay stretched out on the ground fighting against his need to sleep. " No, it's okay and Devine even if she won't admitt it out loud to you wanted to help and got worried when Zeke went for you. She just voices her concern in the wrong way she snaps and acts iritable." He commented. She was pretty easy to read once you knew her. Yawning he glanced over noticing Trista had fallen asleep. Sleep, it would be nice to have a decent nights sleep. " I can't.... Devine, she's vunerable at the moment and what If she wakes up and needs me?" he answered. " I'm no good to her if I'm asleep. " He added.

Zeke listened to Anders and shook his head, the kid needed to learn a lot. "You need to sleep and I'm sure Devine will be just fine. Like I said I will still be up just encase anything happens and if she needs you if she wakes up I will wake you up or I'm sure she'll wake you up" he said running out of breath, he really need to just sit back and relax so that he could build up the necessary energy and all this talking wasn't helping him much and was banking on the fact that Anders would just pass out soon.
He looked over to Trista to make sure that she was sleeping good and thought that it would be a nice thing to do as he leaned over and placed another blanket over Trista and grabbed the extra one he brought and slid it over to Anders "Here...this is for Devine so she stays warm" he said in a nonchalant manner.

Anders continued to fight sleep as his eyelids grew heavy. It made sense what Zeke said. " Anything happens and I couldn't live with myself okay, she's family..." He spoke in a tired tone. Watching Zeke for a moment he grinned taking the blanket. " You don't seem so worried about smelling like a dog now, especially considering you've carried her." With a tired laugh he sat up shuffling towards Devine with the blanket in his hand. " She will wake up.. And she will need help; sure your up to helping some mutt out?" Glancing out of the corner of his eye he watched Zeke as he placed the blanket over her body.

He never knew how much this kid talked until now but he bobbed his head in tune with Anders talking and only snapped to attention when he had used the word mutt a couple of times. That word coming from Anders just didn't seem right but he slowly looked back at Trista "I can hold my own Anders you get some sleep or you aren't going to be of any use to your family" Zeke said and emphasized the word family. Then he got himself comfortably resting against the cave wall then slowly glanced at Anders and Devine out of the corner of his eye just to make sure that Anders was actually going to take his advice and sleep.

Anders huffed shaking his head. " Fine as nothing I can say deems to deter you I'll try and get some sleep." With a dejected expression he stretched out on his back. Fighting sleep for a while his gaze fixed on Zeke catching him staring. " Jesus okay I'm going to sleep." He spoke tiredly. Shutting his eyes he gave into the sleep his body was craving so desperatly.
Devine stirred the sound or rain hitting leave joltting her awake. Shifting she slowlysat up alarmed, where were they? Better yet how had she gotten here. Racking her brain she recalled Zeke holding her in his arms. " Anders..."

Zeke just smirked at him and kept his mouth shut. He closed his eyes finally for a few minutes but kept an ear trained on anything that gave him a weird feeling. Unfortunatly he didn't get as much rest as he would have like cause he felt some stir. Zeke opened his eyes immediatly and slowly looked around. A small smirk playing on his lips as his eyes landed on Devine. "Well he was right, did you sleep well Devine?" Zeke asked not moving a muscle, he could see that she was slightly alarmed but he hoped that she didn't out right attack him cause he didn't have the strength to fight her back. "If you are looking for Anders he's to your left. The poor kid looks like he could sleep for weeks" Zeke said in a calm voice as to not alarm her and then his own mind wandered on to how Trista was doing. He slowly shifted his body to look at Trista just as she shifted a little bit and she pulled the blanket up more over her shoulder. The fire had died down some so it was getting a bit chilly in the cave and as soon as he could get a good feel of how Devine was right now he would put some more wood on the fire to build it back up. But he didn't want to startle her that much cause he was sure that she was disorientated.

Devine tilted her head watching Zeke quietly for a moment before shifting close to Anders sleeping form. Looking down at her arms she stared with some what disgust at the black markings still lining her body. " I can't change I still want to use the power." Wincing she turned away stretching out a hand she moved to wake up anders before her expression faltered. " He's hurt..." Retracting her hand she gave a soft nod of her head. " I won't wake him then." Now she was starting ease up and relax. Despite the cold temperature she pushed away the material covering her body inching closer to the fire.

The room became less tense so Zeke shifted a little and put more wood on the fire then he moved back toward Trista. "He's not hurt...well not anymore then what I did to him...he's just tired and worn out" he said softly and wrapped a blanket around him. "I'm sure with the right concentration and will power you won't want to use the power and you will go back to normal" Zeke said in his very distant voice, like he was reciting something that had been told to him once. His eyes shifted down to Trista and realized that his response probably sounded cold. He took a deep breath and sighed heavily. Then he turned a little bit to face Devine "Rather think of it this way...you don't want to put Anders in danger, he's your family...you can do it if you really put your mind to it. All you have to do is take control of what you want in your life" he said and then sat back against the cave wall and put another log on the fire and watched the fire roar to life once again.

Devine brushed her hand through Anders hair watching him quietly. " He's not hurt?" Now she couldn't help but feel relieved with a smile only to have it disapear the moment Zeke spoke. Setting her gaze onto him she quietly stared him down. "Normal." She finally spoke. Tearing her eyes away from him she focused solely onto the fire. " This is what I am meant to be." She spoke carefully. " This is what I am meant to want." Standing up abruptly she maintained her balance as she walked towards the cave entrance. She'd shared something with Zeke and now the topic wasclosed. Not daring to walk to far she stepped outside enjoying getting out of the cave. Even despite the rain she enjoyed it.

Zeke watched her with a ridged back not wanted to get into anything be it physical or not. He moved slightly as she got to her feet and started to move out of the cave. He took one more glance at Trista and Anders to make sure they were asleep and then got to his feet. He followed Devine to the entrance of the cave. He stood off to the right of her and leaned up against the rock wall entrance "We are meant to want what we are. I know that all to well...as do you" he said looking up at the stars. "One can not be complete unless they are truly thy self" he said recalling a time when these words were spoken to him. "You are what you are and cannot change that fact anymore then I can change that I am a blood thirst primitive killer but...you have what most do not..." he now looked at her with intent in his eyes to get her to understand what she needed to learn "You have someone who cares for you beyond what you truly are"

Devine kept her fade expressionless as she gazed up at the stars. " I don't want it." She spoke indignatly. " I don't like it." Why was she telling Zeke this it wasn't something she quite admitted to even Anders. " I don't think you understand... I don't think I quite understand." Glancing down at her hands she felt somewhat relieved to find the markings gone now she wouldn't appear so different to any other were. " I'm lucky to have Anders." She whispered.
