Anna turned and bolted off into the woods, laughing inside at the play with him.She ran quickly, loving the feel of the wind and freedom they both had here.

Ember laughed softly at their antics, glad to see two at least that didn't treat her like an outcast. "Are you two staying on the mountain too?" She asked curiously

Star slowed and looked to him again "My apologies then, it certainly looks like you are the one giving up on love. She needs support. She needs love. Everything that happened in that place was strange from being inside anyplace at all to having someone put some piece of metal in her hand to them forcing her to eat when she wouldn't." She stopped and looked away again "Our kind was not made for those things, we were made to love and be loved, but even for us that does not come easily or often. She fell in love with you, you fell in love with her. That is not something to be thrown away so quickly because of misunderstandings and hurt feelings. Go and talk to her or leave her alone forever, the choice is yours"
Zypher smiled satisfied with how she challenged him. He sprinted after her, running as fast as possible. He slowly started to gain on her. He relished the feel of the earth beneath his feet and the way the underbrush tugged at his fur. But all that was a background enjoyment, the center of attention was his Anna's lovely form just ahead of him. Pushing him to run harder and faster.

Cadeon shook his head and said, "No, we'll be going back to the city. Nashton has a sister there, waiting for him. As for myself, I think I'm needed to help fight the humans and save more shifters." He smiled nicely at Ember. Nashton quietly nodded, he wasn't a big talker. He was glad that Cadeon was.

Navar was horrified by what Star had said. He looked to where Amar had went. He shifted and took off in that direction. What he found made his feel all the worse. He slowly walked over to her and laid down next to her, still in his wild dog form. He gently nuzzled her. If she hit him, he'd help however he could. She didn't want the human Navar, maybe the dog would be the exception.
