Terra fell to her knees, a sigh of relief passing through her lips as the spear slipped through her fingers. "I was hoping we would have gone a little longer before that happened." A chuckle escaped her lips and she looked up at the large wolf. His golden eyes pierced through her own and she felt flutters erupt from within her. "Are you alright Tan?" She asked, making her way to stand from the ground. Sounds of bones breaking made her flinch and turn away, a loud roar passed through Tan as his face morphed from beast to man. "Never better." His steps echoed towards her and she slowly turned, brown and grey traveled his body. Tension filled the air as Tan stepped closer to the young woman, "You two hurt?"

Conner's voice snapped the two out of their trance and they both jumped apart, "No. Where are the others?" Terra asked, now facing him. Her face back to stone. "I found a structure a couple miles away." He pointed behind him, wind picking up and making Terra glance around her. "Let's go, there seems to be a storm approaching." Tan stared at Terra with interest, why does he feel this way towards her. Conner held out his hands, "Come on." A small hand placed themself on the larger one, "Tan?" She whispered and his ears twitched before he also let the time consume him.

All three stumbled back as soon as their feet touched solid ground, "Terra." Ivy gasped making her way towards her quickly, allowing her hands to help Terra stand, "What was that thing?" Mary asked. Terra held her head hoping to ease the pain, "A Creason. Don't worry it's dead." A small glance at Ivy and she let go of the raven haired girl. With large eyes Terra took notice of her surroundings. She knew this place, "Do you have any clue where we are?" Sylvester's voice made her roll her eyes, "It all looks the same." Her feet softly hit the floor as she walked over to the edge of the structure, "I know exactly where we are Mr. Leader." A scoff resounded behind her, "Well where are we then?" With her hand held out towards the view she smirked, "Come see for yourself."

The group all glared out into the horizon and Zack whispered, "The factory." It was large, spotlights flashing along the ground and surrounded by flooded structures. It made the girls step back, it looked eerie and screamed danger. "I think your job is done Terra." Before the said girl could blink she was hit from behind and she fell to the ground with a smack. Groans of pain passed ruby lips and Terra's eyes shook, trying to focus. "I am sorry about this." Electricity buzzed around her as he knelt down to stare into her grey eyes, "I am just trying to ensure the safety of my child." She couldn't help it, a laugh fell from her confused lips, "You are going to die."

Sylvester growled and his eyes hardened, "He will kill you!" She shouted at him, spit falling to the ground. Conner watched the scene with disbelief, not at the words that came from the body on the floor but at his father, "Dad what are you doing?" The eyes of the nearly blind man made his heart clench in sadness, "Surviving." With that his foot came down on the pale face.

A child stared longingly out the cracked window, observing the sand which danced along her sight. She sighed as she heard the creek of the door and with a murmur asked, "Do you have to call me each day?" Footsteps approached the young girl, "When will I ever be left in peace?"

"I am sorry Terra but your father will never allow it." A hand softly came to rest on the girls shoulder, "It'll be over soon." The voice continued. Terra brushed off the comfort and stood, eyes still staring out into the world, "Do you know the pain that consumes me?"

"The pain that shakes even my soul." The raven haired child turned to face the older woman who stared with pity. A scoff escaped her lips, "Please do not stare at me like that, if you really cared for me you'd try to stop him."

The older woman's face turned to disbelief before falling into guilt but Terra ignored her presence and pushed to get out of the room. "I can barely feel anything, my emotions are slipping away, my senses are depleting." Black hair hung down around her face, "My humanity is dying."
