Waaaaa!!!!! enjoy :P

{April}

For one quick second, it seemed like everything was going to be okay. Justin seemed like he wasn't going to beat the crap out of Jason, and Jason seemed to relax long enough for me to get Justin out of the house.

Then it happened.

Jason said something, and it seemed like everything flew into slow motion.

"You want to know what I find annoying?" Justin asked Jason.

"No, not really." Jason replied, turning his back to Justin.

"That." Justin replied, and jumped onto Jason's back, causing both of them to fall onto the floor. My eyes grew wide as Justin rolled onto the floor, and sat on Jason's stomach. He brought his fist back, about to punch Jason in the face when I ran over, and grabbed it.

"Stop!" I yelled, eyes still wide, my voice trembling slightly. Justin looked at me, and something seemed off. He bared his white teeth at me, and it looked like a huge dog was bareing its teeth at me, ready to bite my arm or something.

Then it was his eyes. They weren't those drops of carmel every girl swoons over. They were almost golden yellow, like a small clump of gold.

"Justin.." I breathed. I felt my hands on fire. I looked over, and saw I was only holding Justin's fist. "Are..are you sick?"

Justin stood off of Jason's stomach, and threw me over his shoulder.

"What the hell!" I screamed and Justin ran towards the window. I could feel my body trembling, and realized..it wasn't me who was trembling.

It was Justin.

He cradled me in his arms as he jumped out of the window. I screamed, and sqeezed my eyes shut. I felt the ice cold wind whip my hair back, and freeze my face. I gripped onto Justin's jacket, and burried my face into it. Once the wind died down, I removed my face from his jacket, and opened my eyes.

"Where are we?"

I ran towards April's house. I could smell Justin's scent getting stronger as I neared the destination. I hid behind the tree's, and made sure my body was hidden behind the tree's. I heard someone scream inside the house, then it was silence. I waited, then saw a figure jump from the second story window.

It was Justin.

Once he landed on the ground, he shot into the forest. I followed close behind, but not too close. Justin could probably run faster than me, considering the fact that I'm older, and he's stiill developing.

He stopped inside a cave. I waited outside it, still hidden by the trees. I heard a pair of bare feet hitting the ground in the cave. Someone was breathing hard, I couldn't tell if it was Justin, or someone else.

"Where are we?" a female voice spoke.

Oh no...

I approached the entrance to the cave, and slowly walking in. I could see a girl, walking around and running her bare hands against the walls of the small cave. Justin stood off to the back, his body trembling slightly. The girl's gaze fell onto me, and she gasped.

"Justin!" she screamed. Justin's head snapped up towards the girls direction as she came running towards him. "There's a bear!" Justin stood to his feet, and jumped infront of the girl. He crouched, as if he was going to pounce on me.

I snorted, and pawed the ground.

"Thats not a bear.." Justin muttered. "I'll be right back." He walked past me, and out of the cave. I followed, leaving the girl alone.

Justin continued to walk until we were away from hearing range before he turned to me. He sat on the ground and put his head in his hands. I walked over to him, and whinned, placing my snout against his cheek.

"Stop.." he muttered, wipping my dog spit off his cheek. "This is serious. Go ahead, and tell me 'I told you so!' " I rolled my eyes, and walked infront of him. Justin looked up at me, waiting for me to say the words.

"Can you not speak?" Justin asked. I barked at him, and Justin rolled his eyes. "Very funny." he said. I sat down on the ground, and tried to think of a way to communicate with him.

"Can I do that?" Justin asked. I looked at him, and nodded my head up and down. "How?" I stood on all four, and bared my teeth at him. I let a small growl out, and looked as if I was going to pounce on him.

Suddenly, something smacked into the back of my head, and I feel to the ground completely.

Knocked out cold.

{April}

I saw the huge beast baring its teeth at Justin, who sat infront of it innocently. I looked around for a rock, or a big stick. I found a stick, and quietly crept up to the animal. Once close enough, I slammed the stick onto the top of it's head. It fell to the ground.

"April?" Justin asked, looking up to see me holding the huge stick over the bear-dog thing. I swollowed a huge lump, and dropped the stick. It feel next to the beast, and I fell to my knee's, trembling.

"April." Justin said, walking over to pick me up. I crawled away from him.

"Don't touch me.." I said. "You've done enough damage!" Justin's eyes, which were back to the same carmel color, filled with hurt. He turned his back to me, and walked over to the creature that lay on the ground. He bent down next to it, and touched his face.

The animal rose his head up, and shook the dirt off it's head. He stood to all fours, and looked over at me. I backed up until my back hit a tree behind me.

"D-Don't eat me.." I studdered. The animal looked over at Justin, then back at me. When he looked back at Justin, it seemed like Justin understood what the animal was doing, as if they were speaking to each other, but in some freaky language that I didn't understand.

"April..." Justin said. "We need to talk.."
