"Right, the cage is out of sight for twenty seconds. Right, come on." TJ explained and they took off from the relative safety of the wall, once they saw that the camera was turning to their spot.

"Wakey wakey!"

"Get up! Of course it's you two, of all the wolfbloods, who get into this mess of a situation." Scout snapped and that apparently, was enough to get at least one of them awake.

"TJ?" Matei asked and Scout rolled her eyes, as she pulled out a lock pick from her pocket. "Who the bloody hell are you?" Matei asked.

"Scout Marshall. The kid who goes to school with you and TJ." Scout wasted no time with words, as she went right to work on the lock.

"Scout Thomas, actually..." Scout kicked TJ in the shin and TJ yelled in pain and she continued to be working on the lock. "Never mind. Jana, meet Matei Covaci. Year 11's Mr. Popular... Not." TJ said as he rubbed his shin in pain. "And I'm guessing that this little fur ball, is your little sister right?" TJ asked.

"Emilia? Emilia, wake up!" Matei sounded frantic as he hit the wall in between the cells, as if it would wake up his sister. "You have to get her out. Get her out now!"

"TJ, how long?" Scout asked, ignoring the words that were coming from the oldest of the Covaci siblings, in exchange for working at the lock with the pick.

"We are going to get you both out, don't worry." Jana attempted to calm him down, but the tranquilizer was still somewhat in effect and he was not thinking completely clearly.

"Five seconds! Five seconds!" TJ sounded understandably frantic and Scout growled in annoyance.

"Wolf form Covaci, now!" She snapped and she raced back to the wall, and as she flattened herself against it, she saw with relief in her eyes, that Matei had heeded the warning and they were once again staring at a big brown wolf.

"Scout, get Emilia's cage when the camera turns back around. She knows you." TJ said and Scout nodded a little, as Jana grabbed for the tools and they took off back toward the cages.

Scout at once, she dove back toward Emilia's cage and, she swiftly started to pick the lock on it. "Tell your wild girlfriend to get Emilia out first." It was Matei's sharp words that got Jana's attention and not in a good way either.

"Your wild what?!" Jana snapped loudly at TJ, while Scout focused on the task at hand.

"I never said that! I never said that!"

"Could you two just focus please?! In case you haven't noticed, we have two wolfbloods in cages!" Scout snapped as they had to dart back to the wall to avoid the camera, while poor Matei in the cage had to quickly drop back down and into wolf form in a record time.

Scout ran back to the cage and Emilia's eyes widened at the sight of her. "Scout?" Emilia asked and Scout nodded quickly. "Matei! Matei!" Jana got the cage door open and Matei was pushing Scout aside.

"Watch it, or I'll put you back in the cage myself." Scout snapped sharply as she continued to pick the lock. The only difference, is that they knew she didn't mean it.

"I'm right here." Matei said and Emilia's eyes were terrified, which was calmed very slightly, after she saw her elder brother in front of her and Scout sighed.

"I'll have you out in just a minute Emilia, I swear. But if the camera comes back around, you need to wolf out." Scout said and her tone was cool and collected, while Matei and Emilia were seeing the other side to the quiet girl that they knew as a wolfblood in school.

This was a collected wolfblood, a protective person and one who knew what she was getting into with almost everything that she did. "Just, stay in the cage for the camera!" Jana urged at Matei.

"I'm staying with my sister!" Matei said with a hint of a growl in his voice and Scout growled in a fury.

"Fine! You have to back up and get against the wall, I'll play wolf. Go now then!" She snapped and darted into the cage, allowing her wolf to swallow her up and she sunk down to the floor on four paws.

After what felt like an eternity, Scout jumped up and pushed open the cage as she got back to work on the lock of Emilia's cage. "Open! Let's go!" Scout said and she pulled open the door, as Matei darted over to her.

Scout saw that they were all now going to be caught on the camera's lenses, as she let out a growl.

Scout ran straight and directly at the wall without hesitation and for the first time in a long time she did a familiar run.

Scout took two steps up to it, before she managed to catch the camera and Scout yanked down with all of her strength and pulled it straight out of the wall. The camera and lenses, it all smashed onto the floor and Scout was getting surprised looks from all sides.

"Oh, come on. It's not the strangest shit that you've seen me pull." Scout pointed out and she stamped down on the camera. "Run!" She snapped as the wolfbloods took off running.

TJ went back to wipe the footage along with Jana, while Scout shook her head as she darted up against the wall.

"How come, you were so willing to rescue us?" Matei asked and Scout's eyes briefly flicked up to meet his, and then went to Emilia's face and she turned back toward the cameras.

"Because I know what it is like, to be locked in a cage." Scout admitted and she sent them ahead, and, she let out a howl to distract the man with the gun, from the Covaci siblings.

After he had run off in a different direction, she met up with the duo again and Scout silently watched out for the gunman again.

Scout tipped her head back in a howl along with them, as they all took off to get out of the animal park. Scout took point, as Jana followed right on her heels and the others followed.

Scout didn't hesitate before taking a leap over the wall, copying what she had done previously. She was neatly balanced on top of it and she glanced to her left and right, making sure that all four of the others had made it with her to the wall. "Everyone okay?" She asked and they all nodded. "Let's do it." She said and her accent once again was sticking out like a sore thumb, as she leapt down with them and they all saw headlights in their faces.

"Uh oh." TJ said and Scout sighed quietly and she glanced at the Covaci siblings, as they automatically moved closer together.

"I'm not always going to be around to rescue you two." She joked quietly but it fell flat, and she saw that Imara was staring at her in particular. "Get going home, you two." She said and neither of them hesitated as both of them took off into the darkness without delay.

"Hi, Mum." TJ murmured.
