4:15 in the morning...

The door to the apartment opened quietly, as someone snuck inside before closing the door behind them.  

Making sure the door was locked, they began their journey past the living room, where Jimmy took up the entire couch. He was practically out cold with a blanket lying on top of him, blissfully unaware of the guest who had entered the home.

Dropping blood nearly everywhere, the guest began their slow journey to the bathroom as they swayed heavily with a slight limp to their walk...

Once there, they closed the door behind them, before reaching up to flick the lights on nearly blinding themself in the process causing them to grunt in pain.

"F-king hunters..." they growled under their breath, with their voice sounding strained when they moved towards the sink practically leaning against it, as they kept their head down using their bangs to shield themself from the mirror in front of them...

Letting out a heavy sigh, they slowly opened their eyes, they saw the counter had fresh bloodstains on it until their gaze landed on their hands which were the culprit of the mess, making their body tense up at the sight before them, as they took a sharp breath at the sight.
"No... No, no, no, no," they whispered now sounding panicked as their body began to shake and their breathing picked up, feeling a mix of rage and fear, causing their mind to begin to spiral.

They needed to get rid of the evidence, but they couldn't get their body to move, as instead they slowly began to lower themself to the floor for a second, just barely being able to stand when they saw the blood trail leading outside of the bathroom.

Which further sent their mind into a downward spiral...

They could hear something or someone trying to gain their attention but it never reached their ears as all they knew was that they needed to start cleaning...

Trying to steady their breathing, and ignoring the immense wave of pain going through their body, they start to force themself off the floor, just as the door to the bathroom opens, from the guest not locking it behind them.
Startled, they stared at a tired brunette with wide eyes, while the small male held a stuffed wolf close to his chest. He looked to have been crying early, causing the person's breath to hitch at this.

"Fluffy? You're home?" the kitten asked when he rubbed his eyes tiredly, until the person held their breath for a second, before finally sighing as just the sight of the brunette alone seemed to have put them at ease...

"Yea... I'm home..." Kevin answered before slowly lowering themself to the ground once more, this time finally sitting down as he couldn't get himself to lie to the brunette when he ran his bloodied fingers through his messy hair.

When he was nearly tackled by the kitten who began crying once more, causing the alpha to cringe at the thought of getting any blood on the brunette while using his foot to close the door.

He did his best not to touch the kitten with his hands, when Alex pulled away his nose scrunching up a bit though when he looked at the redhead in front of him, his eyes seemed to widen.

"Fluffy? Why are you covered in blood?.. You're shaking... What happened?" the kitten questioned when the alpha sighed while keeping his head down, to avoid making any eye contact "Let's... Let's take a shower..." Kevin spoke, his voice still sounding strained almost as if it hurt just to talk. "Can you get some spare clothes and a first aid kit?" the alpha then asked calmly but he could tell Alex was still worried "But... Shouldn't we tell Jim-"
