"You're hurt," Connor remarked sharply, eyes narrowing further.
The recollection of the various bruises and cuts he'd found buried beneath Bleddyn's hair resurfaced to the front of his mind. He slowly pivoted, his searching eyes scanning every individual in the room.
Only now did he notice the awkward positions that so loudly betrayed various hurts.
"None of you got out of there unscathed, did you?"

Ash put a hand to her face to stifle a gasp as she realized the fatal aspect of it all for the first time. "...you lost your mother to this woman? Oh, I'm so sorry..."
Ash trailed off helplessly, far too stunned to go on with futile consolation.
People are dying in this mess that my daughter's tangled up in...

and still no one told me?

"We all are hurt. No, no one escaped without at least a few wounds." Wolfram muttered. He looked over at Ash, unable to say anything, just sighed, and leaned against the wall. "I've lost more to a single coward then you would believe. She...she gets whatever she wants. She knows exactly the right way to get around people, even my mother." He spoke quietly, unable to make his voice any louder then just a little more then a murmur. He sighed, his eyes darkening more then they where when he caught sight of Bleddyn, just standing there, having been utterly silent this entire time. "Bleddyn?" He broke the aching silence suddenly, but quietly. "Are you alright?"

He broke the aching silence suddenly, but quietly. "Are you alright?"

Connor shot a searing glare out of the corner of his eye at Wolfram, inexplicably nettled by the concern he was showing for Bleddyn. "Does anyone require medical attention?" he pushed, completely ignoring every other worthless fact that was spewed.

Bleddyn shook her head soundlessly and moved farther back into the kitchen, face still as white as a sheet. She was grateful for how her parents were unwittingly stringing themselves along the line of continued ignorance, but she knew they'd learn soon enough.
...don't want to be around when they're told...no...no...Mom will...no...

"Were you two not at each other's necks yesterday?" Ash queried lightly, having somewhat recovered from being told of a mother's death.

Wolfram glanced at Connor, huffing softly when Bleddyn refused to give him a verbal answer. Tayn's death shook her up bad... "N-no, I think we're fine..." He muttered to Connor, before looking at Ash as she spoke. "Um, well, we were. But um..." He shrugged, shuddering as another streak of blood dripped down his arm, dripping onto the floor. "I was just making sure she was ok." Totally nothing else! you totally didn't just want to hear her voice again!

Misty twisted around as she fell ready to rip to bloody shreds whoever punched her. But instead of having someone whom she could have killed face her, both her children with utter horror in their eyes recoiling their fists faced her.
The light emptied out of her eyes and she hit the ground with a dead thud. Foam poured out of her mouth and the dark claws of her mind slowly hooked into Misty and dragged her under into the depths.

(I'll rp as Del and Zion later Im tired af and want food)

Alice hesitated unsure of what was going on with Misty, she had seen her Aunt get angry before, but nothing like this. She slowly moved forward and knelt next to her, hands shaking as she brushed strands of hair from her face. "Aunt Misty?" She whispered, she didn't respond. Alice's stomach turned, unsure she was going to be ok. "Aunt Misty?"

Ash gave him a long quizzical look, then ultimately decided not to press for more details. He already seemed far uncomfortable enough and she didn't want to chase her only willing source of information off. "Well, okay, guess that's that then."

Connor suddenly shook his head and left Bleddyn's side to approach the cowering boy that Ash was talking to. "No, no, it's not at all okay," he objected darkly, all traces of awkward hilarity lost to a hardened expression. That coupled with his height, he was rapidly rising up the ranks of intimidation. "This organization- whatever you called it. For one, they took you all in the first place and now you're escapees. They've still got to be after you all. And why even?" His upper jaw ground down hard on his lower teeth as he tried to mentally shove aside his own past harrowing experiences with a similar supremacist group. "What do they want with a handful of teens when their ultimate goal is to wipe out the whole population of us? Did I miss something?"

Ash had just been about to put in a query about what Wolfram's parents had thought of the whole weekend of misadventures when Connor interjected with a stream of much more pertinent questions. She gave him a grateful elbow to the ribs, and waited for the poor battered kid to process all that.

"We know where the key is." Alice whispered.

Toby stomped back inside. He was furious, and ready to kill someone. He stopped and stared at Misty, who was lying on the ground with foam coming out of her mouth. He jogged upstairs and into Rex & Jenna's bedroom, and pulled out a large gun case. He tossed it on the bed and jogged back downstairs to grab his backpack, and went back upstairs into the bedroom. "Key key key. Where does Rex keep the key?" Toby muttered, looking around the room. He went back downstairs.
"Why do you keep running around like a headless chicken?" Jessi asked.
"Don't worry. Do you know where Rex keeps his key to the gun safe?" Toby replied.
"What are you planning? You aren't allowed near his guns." Jessi said, watching him look around the kitchen.
"He wouldn't have the key in the bedroom, that would be too easy. Ooh, maybe the attic? No, he hates the attic. Do we even have an attic? I don't think we do. But then where does mom keep her holiday stuff? The basement? Aaand I'm rambling about an attic. Key, I need to find the gun key. Do you think a lock pick could unlock it?" Toby rambled, about to go back upstairs. Jessi grabbed his arm. "What are you doing?" She growled.
"Nothing, I'm doing nothing, I'm certainly not about to do something incredibly stupid, psshh, why would I do that? Can you -um- let go please?" He said nervously.
"You're lying. I'm not going to let you go until you tell me what you're doing." She said sternly, glaring at him.
He rolled his eyes, and twisted his arm out of her hands. He ran upstairs and pulled a lock pick set out of his backpack, and started picking the lock.
Jessi growled. "He's like babysitting a toddler." She stomped upstairs.

Misty still laid on the floor, the only movement was her shallow breathing. How could everyone just ignore the fact that Misty, the strongest person she knew was laying in the middle of the floor?

"Were you two not at each other's necks yesterday?" Ash queried lightly, having somewhat recovered from being told of a mother's death.

Alice shoved herself angrily to her feet, "YES! Can you not SEE that Misty needs help!?" she yelled point over to her still form. Dizzy and nauseous, Alice staggered back panting. "I'm gonna be sick." She muttered and then took off up the hallway to the bathroom.

Brisa stood, torn between following Alice and going over to Misty. She finally decided to approach Misty, cautiously stepping closer and kneeling down by her head. “What do you think happened?” She asked, her hand lingering over the pocket that held the key.

Jenna walked up to Misty and crouched down. "She's strong, she'll be okay. Help me get her on the sofa." She said, dragging her to the sofa.

Wolfram glanced at Connor, huffing softly when Bleddyn refused to give him a verbal answer. Tayn's death shook her up bad... "N-no, I think we're fine..."

"I was just making sure she was ok." Totally nothing else! you totally didn't just want to hear her voice again!

Connor mentally skimmed the crowd of uneasy teens again and then fixed an icy glare back on Wolfram for a long moment, unconvinced. "You sure about that?"


Ash suddenly skirted away from Wolfram, tossing one last genuinely sympathetic glance in his general direction.
"Alright, I think I've heard enough," she announced to no one in particular, completely at loss as to where to go from here.

Everyone looked an exclusive mess, there was so much comfort needing to be given, and there was so much more she needed to know...

During her dazed wandering, Ash's foot caught on something smack in the middle of the floor. Not really noticing the two other girls already worrying over the motionless woman, she dropped to her knees beside Misty and reached out a hand to wipe away the sickly foam bubbling at her friend's lips. Shocked by just how far her rage had intensified, Ash’s eyes kept themselves riveted on the unconscious wolf-woman for a long moment before she got to her feet with furious resolve.

"Where's River?"

Jenna walked up to Misty and crouched down. "She's strong, she'll be okay. Help me get her on the sofa." She said, dragging her to the sofa.

Brisa grabbed under one of Misty’s arms and helped Jenna pull her over to the couch. “I’ve never seen her act like this before.” She said. “I mean, we’ve all seen her angry,” she added ruefully, “but never like this.”

"Where's River?"

Wolfram nodded quickly to Connor. "Yep, Yep!" He replied neevously, and quickly, glancing at Bleddyn. "She's down the hall, she was just on the phone." He replied to Ash, eyes narrowing as he kept looking at Bleddyn. "Dyn you are not ok. Whats wrong?" He asked quietly, coming a bit closer to Bleddyn when he should probably have been helping with Misty. Once he came close enough to her, he dropped his voice, afraid of Connor or Ash overhearing. "Is it because of Tayn?"

"Is it because of Tayn?"

Bleddyn carefully arranged her elbows down on the countertop she was facing and kept her face turned away from him.
She considered remaining gravely mute...but here was a chance to get it out without having a horrible upheaval of emotions on the other end...
"Obviously," she muttered weakly after a long silence, her voice cracking miserably. "She's my aunt, Wolfram. My mother's sister."
