-Cassie
She saw her father and Paul walk out the back, whispering between themselves as they went, serious faces plastered on. Cassie turned and tended the fire, finally getting out from a few whispering pack members that Ulrik had died, Scarlet falling behind him. Neither of their bodies were here, and they'd have to have an empty funeral in the forest.
Tired, and feeling more feverish than ever, Cassie went up the stairs to her room, and flopped on her bed, arms out. "I'd be the coolest person in the world if I slept like this.." ((XD Wake!))
The sick girl let out a breath and got comfortable, leaving on a repeat playlist of two songs: Beaches, and Heart You Hold by Bridezilla. With the calming music flooding her room, she closed her eyes and tried to sleep.
-Beck
Wake had returned from disposing of Scarlet's body, hopefully at the mortuary. The EMS had come and gone before her, leaving everyone safely inside. The Alpha and his Second had cleared all the blood, and had discussed what to do. They explained to Wake that there was to be a funeral for Ulrik and Scarlet.
"I'm a little worried about it, though," Beck said. "If we go out into the woods as wolves and have it there, we'll get shot."
Paul chimed in, reassuring his friend. "It'll be short, and we'll sit vigil inside. Plus, I'm sure that the hunters are all in town, looking for wolves at the grocery store. Idiots..." he muttered, starting to shiver. "Looking at Wake, Paul said, "Let's all go inside. I've got to call John and Violet; they haven't showed up yet and I'm getting chills already."
"We'll talk then." Beck added, turning to the back porch and disappearing inside.

I heard the phone ring and grabbed it quickly. When I answered I paused before I said anything.. who was it? Oh. WhAT THE HELL? wHO CARES? "hello?" I asked impatiently. Waiting for a return answer was like waiting for a doctor to tell you if you have it, or if you don't. The latter always seems to matter much less, and as you wa it seems like you will never know. It was only seconds after I asked this question that I recieved an answer, but I still couldn't help but wonder Why?
Why was I so... impatient right now?

Wake knocked on his office door; "It's John", she said.
Beck nodded as she left, and looked at Paul who stood at his side. The Alpha answered the phone. "John? Where are you?"

"John," she said, "ask him what happened."

Beck took a breath. "Yes, he's dead. The new wolf Scarlet is dead too. The other new wolf- Blood- disappeared. We'll hold some kind of funeral later. It's good that you thought of your safety though, and I'll see you tomorrow."
Without thinking, the Alpha put the phone down, hanging up on John. He looked tired and stressed, and Paul left Beck to relax.
-Cassie
She slept. (:P)

I felt trapped in this world. Alone. What was my next move? Where and what would I do? For now I suppose I will have to get over Scarlet's death, Alex's disappear, and FOCUS on protecting my family. I sat on my bed and looked around. I did not want to be alone right now. So I padded to Cassie's door and listened to her breathing. Daring not to enter I sat down, leaning against the white wood. Barely able to keep my eyes open I dozed off thinking about what would happen if she woke to find me here. Would she think me a lesbian? Perhaps she would ignore it and step over my body? Whatever she thought or did I would fall to pieces. I was fragile right now. Like an old chair that can only hold itself up. I was breaking and if I finally did break, I would rather not be alone. For too many years I have pushed people away. Now all I needed was someone to put me back together. Then, they would have my eternal trust and loyalty. I was really a wolf. I gave my loyalty away too easily. Now is the time to be strong, but I cannot be strong alone.

I heard my name "Wake." I ignored it. Besides the voice was not real was it? So my eyes stayed closed and another tear slipped through the crack. The entire time I was asleep outside Cassie's door I had been crying in my sleep. The voice said,"Wake I brought you and Cassie some coffee. Is she any better? Do you know?" I knew then that it was Annie. I slowly opened my eyes. Why was she sitting here with me? That makes me a slight bit angry. I guess my face showed that because she tilted her head and then spoke. My mind was still slow from sleep so at first her words did not make sense. "Are you okay?" As I said I could not understand her so I made no moves and did not speak. My name was spoken again against my will. "Wake..." To shut her up I slowly lifted up my sleepy arm and grasped the mug full of coffee. She seemed content with my narcissistic act, so I let the floor help my sad, tired body hold the mug so I could sleep. When I woke I remembered John and Violet "John. Violet." I said. Though my body was screaming and my coffee was cold I fell asleep once more. When I woke this time Annie was gone and I steadily rose from the floor. I then proceeded to open Cassie's door and I climbed onto the floor beside her. I tap... tap... tapped her forehead in an effort to wake the sleeping girl. "Cassie." I croaked. Then I tapped again.
