Kiba looked at Aurora and asked," Are you sure that I will not bother the both of you because I would never wish to do that?" Kiba then lowered his head.

(*roars to announce presence*)

Marcy looked sympathetic at Mason's explanation, but was relieved that they managed to escape at least. At his last statement, she nodded her head. She was very curious about his story.

Pandora groaned, "Aurora is the leader, or something. I had to get her permission to stay here. If she finds out I took something, she probably wouldn't like it." She shrugged, not really caring about another's opinions. She just didn't want to be sent away for it.

Aurora smiled, "I'm sure of it. Don't worry about it." She got a few extra pillows and lay them down neatly in the floor, turning them into an ultra soft bed that was plenty large enough to accommodate the chimera.

Catori remained buried beneath the covers in Aurora's bed, eyes closed and only halfway paying attention to their conversation.

The manticore's face twisted in a silent snarl, and he growled quietly upon being kicked. However, he didn't move. The sun's rays were almost upon him, and his fate was sealed. It would do no good to move now. He just hoped his demise would be quick. A small tear fell from his left eye. The beast had a womanticore mate and ten mantichildren back in his lair in the Underworld. He would surely be missed by all of them.

Peter had decided to remain in the forest for a little while, and give Aurora a chance to forget what he'd done. He kind of felt bad about it, and hoped she could forgive him for it eventually. While walking, he held up the lens to his face and gazed around the forest with it. He could see vague glowing shapes every now and then; mostly birds, and occasionally some other small lifeforms as they scurried about. Eventually while walking, he noticed a big, black blur some twenty feet away. What is that? Peter cautiously and quietly crept forward, and what he discovered nearly sent him running for his life. Manticore! The beast appeared seriously ill and was writhing on the ground as though in pain. All instinct urged him to run, but Peter was too curious for his own good. He stood back at a safe distance, waiting to see what would happen. All of a sudden, something emerged from the beast. Peter wondered for a moment what he'd just witnessed - didn't manticores lay eggs? - when he suddenly recognized the figure. Peter's jaw practically hit the ground, and he rubbed his eyes several times, not at all believing what he was seeing.

The puppy was somewhat cold and almost completely limp upon being picked up. She gave no signs of resisting and merely stared up at Ferra with tired eyes.

(Yay! Hey Moon! Aww that poor manticore.DX)

Mason nodded with a small smile. He quickly turned his phone on and switched to the photos. The first one that showed was one with himself, Cliff and Amari outside the front of the mansion. He pointed to Amari first. "That's Amari, my fiancé. She's a Japanese fire belly newt hybrid." He said. She had black skin, with red on the underside of her arms, though normal skin on her face. She was wearing her usual green singlet and jeans. He then pointed to the sixteen year old with butterfly wings. "And that's Cliff, a Pembroke Welsh corgi and Swallowtail butterfly hybrid."

(Oh don't worry about it Qtip! I don't mind that stuff. )

Kiba walked over to the pillows and then laid down on them and said," Thank you Aurora this is really kind of you." Kiba then yawned as loudly as he could and then drifted off to sleep.

Aurora smiled, then got into her own bed, nudging Catori over as she did so. Soon, she and the wolf were also sound asleep. (I'll do a timeskip in the next post so they can all wake up.)

The puppy appreciated the warmth as she nestled her chin down on her paws, nearly falling asleep a few times. (Special note: This character was created more than five years ago, back in the original Outcasts. I didn't get to RP her much before the RP died, so I more or less borrowed her from there. She's the same exact character, from that universe, and has a very interesting and colorful history.)

Peter couldn't help chuckling, "Yeah, yeah. Just go wash off, stinky. I'll bring you some more clothes and soap. Would you like some that's floral scented?" He asked jokingly. He was never gonna let this one go.

Catori was still fast asleep at the moment, but Aurora was beginning to stir. She'd been having the weirdest dreams, involving strange people and creatures she'd never met.

After a few minutes of freaking out Kiba started to calm down and stood up. Kiba then looked at the bed where the girls were sleeping and noticed that Aurora was stirring so he went over to her and lightly nudged her with his nose.

(tablet keeps refreshing the page every time I start typing ugh; I'll switch back to my laptop in a few)

Marcy noticed the tears and frowned. She understood what it was like to lose people you cared about. It had only been three years since she'd lost both her parents.

Aurora laughed quietly and moved her hand, "Not now Catori. I'll let you out in a minute." She mumbled sleepily.

Catori made some sort of noise at that and Aurora opened her eyes, finally remembering Kiba. She looked over and smiled, then yawned, "Oh, hi Kiba. Did you sleep well?"

Peter chuckled and headed back to the castle for the needed supplies.

Life seemed to flash back into the puppy's eyes as she eagerly sniffed all of the food. Almost immediately afterward, she hungrily tore into the fruits and vegetables, completely skipping over the fish.

Alfonse rinsed himself as best as he could, and waited for the boy to return with the much-needed clothes and soap.

Ferra, rather shocked, watched as the wolf puppy chose her meal. She quickly moved the basket out of reach of the animal, however, as she knew that eating while malnourished could be detrimental to its health. She frowned. Did the puppy have a name, she wondered? She removed an apple from the basket, and held it out the puppy. Ferra knew that the pup needed food much more than she herself did, and resolved to give up the apple to her, though she had picked it especially for herself. There was no bitterness in the gesture, however; in fact, the girl was quite thrilled to have found the puppy, and to have saved its life.

(I'm gonna get off here to read for a bit and then head to bed, but I may be on a little more tomorrow. Good night, guys!)

Kiba looked at Catori and said," Good morning Catori it looks like you have a good rest." Kiba smiled and nudged her paws.

Catori smiled a goofy grin and withdrew her foot. She then rolled over on her side and playfully kicked with all four feet, making funny noises and rolling her eyes around like a ****z. She didn't care how undignified it made her look. The wolf loved laying in the bed.

Aurora giggled at the wolf's silliness, "If you ever want to sleep in here, you can. Or if you'd rather have your own bed, there are plenty of rooms." She said to Kiba.

Marcy shook her head at his apology, as though to say it weren't any problem. To his question, her head bobbed up and down. The only food she'd thought to pack in her bag was a pack of dried pineapple. She'd really regretted not bringing more food.

Aurora nodded, "Alright, that'll be fine. Catori normally sleeps in here anyway. Was your bed comfortable enough? Do you need more pillows?"

"Well... a family can be made up of almost anything. Years ago, my family consisted of my parents and myself. But you don't have to be related to be considered family. At least, I don't think so. Ferra seems to know more about it, so you can ask her too next time you see her." Aurora replied.
