Fire did nod, agreeing with both of them.  It was probable.      "Mayne we should take to the air like you and Alarice were earlier.  Zeul can ride along, if he can ride bare back on a Hollowheart," he suggested.  To him it was a good idea, and he was willing to carry Alarice in his talons if he needed to.

Then, Alarice snorted and morphed into an Organic Gyrraptor, which this time really DID tip Zeul over.  There was no way that they could carry Alarice on land and still be successful in the hunt.  
"Yah, I think we really SHOULD go in the air.  I can easily carry her in my talons as a Hollowheart.  What do ya say?" Fire asked while morphing into a  Hollowheart.

[Elektra]

Thalia nodded.  "Zeul, since Fire's carrying Alarice, maybe you should ride on my back.  Not in any other way other than transportation, though." she said firmly, jut to get it straight.  Zeul nodded, amused that she would even mention that.  He was fine with riding on Thalia, and she should know that he was interested in Alarice.  

Any way, Thali concentrated very hard and was a Hollowheart in no time,  she lowered her neck, and let Zeul climb on.  Then she said, "Hold on tight!  Here we go!" And took of into the air, flying like Alarice taught her.  She rose into the sky, then lowered down a bit to wait for Pofirio to get on up.

[Remedy]

Fire smiled and prepared for flight.  He flaped his Leathery bat wings twice to get off the ground, then hovered over Alarice, picking her up with his front talons VERY gently.  Once he had a good (but still gentle and soft) grip, he took off and flew up next to Thalia.  He called to her in Hollowheart, "You'd better lead the way.  With my luck, we'll end up lost in the Slums." A bit of an exxageration, but still true.  Fire was the worst about getting lost.  

While they were flying, however, a scream came from below.  A woman cried, "Look at that monster carrying that poor animal!  It's going to eat it!" Then, as it appeared, the woman fainted.  
Great.  Now not only is Alarice passed out, but now I'm center of attention for animal control again.
He racked his mind, trying to figure out what to do, when Thalia went into dive.  He figured that Zeul was going to try and explain things, but then another person yelled, "My god!  His mate is diving into attack!"

The word 'mate' completely embarrassed and distracted him.  He accidently dropped Alarice.

He dove, but she was falling too fast.  He couldn't catch up to her.  Just then, her eyes fluttered open, and at the last moment, she morphed into a Hollowheart herself and landed with a backflip and a handstand in human form.  She didn't quite know what was going on, but by the way people were looking at her, she knew something was up.  But then the wave of nausia hit her again along with the shock of waking up to find herself falling, and once again, she fell unconcious.

Fore came back in and landed next to her, and he morphed into human form and picked her up.  She was heavy, but if she was listening, he wasn't going to complain.  Even more people were gaping at them now, an he looked at them and said, "What?"


{6.1}{6.1}

[Elektra]

Fire sure knew how to make a big show.  So far she could see about twenty or thirty people looking from all over at the scene.  Changing into her human form and swung down from the tree below her, landing with a somersault on the ground.  The lady who had called her Fire's mate was walking away with her children hurriedly, which made her blush so much.  She just hoped that Fire wouldn't remember it to much.  "Hey, is Alarice going to snap out of it soon?  I'm worried about her being like this.  It just doesn't seem right, even under the circumstances of her powers tolling on her."  
"I agree," said Zuel.  "Something doesn't seem right about it.  Are you sure that it's ok?"

[Remedy]

Fire blushed, looking quite akward in his position holding Alarice.  When Thalia and Zeul asked about her, he said, (cluelessly),  "Uh, well, this hasn't really happened when she's morphing..."  he knew nothing about her telepathic powers, except that she always seemed to get mad at him if he only thought something bad, and that her eyes glow every once in a while before she passes out and something explodes or someone screams. But he hadn't put the pieces togather yet.  No, he was definatly not 'advanced' enough to do that.  Little did he know, both Thalia AND Zeul now knew something about her in a day that he couldn't figure out in a hundred years.

Soon, Alarice began to move again.  She groaned, opening her eyes to see Fire's friendly black ones.  First she relaxed, then she shuffled to her feet, raking a few steps away from him, both of them blushing akwardly.  She went ahead and connected with Thalia and Zeul, asking about what was going on.  Surveying the expressions of the crowd, she autatically knew that Fire had done something, then felt bad, thinking that if she had been awake, she could've stopped this from occuring.  A small lump of guilt formed in her throat.

[center]Judging by the expression on Alarice's face, Thalia could tell that she was blaming the accidents on herself.  "Hey, come on," she said to her, "you couldn't have done anything.  You were out cold.  Let's just get out of here and keep walking.  Before that crowd starts asking more questions than they need to."  Getting up from the ground, she held a hand out to Alarice.  Meanwhile, Zuel, of course, was just standing there, but snapped out of it before he could mumble anything embarrasing and said, "Yeah.  Uh, what she said."

[Remedy]

Alarice nodded and took Thalia's hand.  Once Thalia was up, Alarice looked around and spotted the dog catcher among the crowd.  Having a sence of humor, she purposley made her eyes glow a little and winked at him.  From the looks of things, he wet himself.
"So what do we do next?" Fire asked, getting more and more uncomfortable with people looking at him.  They all seemed like normal humans, not shifters.  He looked at his feet, and watched as they accidently turned into paws, until he was his normal self as a small Purple Ancient Kuhna.  He walked over and sat by Thalia's feet, waiting for her Or someone else to lead the way.  Alarice morphed into a Kuhna as well, and walked over to sit beside him.  She bared her fangs at a few people, and her eyes were glowing, so obviously, she must of heard something from them telepathically.  Looking back up at Thalia, she meowed, "You're right.  They've got some interesting theories about what's going on, and I don't like any of them.  We'd best get moving."
{6.3}{6.3}

[Elektra]

"Works for me.  Hey, what's your fastest moving form?  That might be helpful to just get out of here.  If you don't mind, that is."  Thalia figured that would probably be the best thing to do, especially now that Alarice confirmed her fears.  Who knew?  Maybe one of the humans might even get over it and call someone to do something about their interesting group.  And who knew what would happen after that.  Morhping into her Serraptor form, Thalia shouted, "Hey, get out of here, nothing to see here!"  And, after getting Zuel onto her back and Fire onto Alarice's, took off running, hoping that the other two would catch on and then catch up with her.

[Remedy]

Alarice caught on quickly and morphed into a Serraptor herself and began running rapidly tward Thalia, Fire trailing not too far behind.  They finally caught up with Thalia, and Alarice stepped up close to Thalia and said in Serraptor, "Thalia!  It'sssssssssss getting late.  Keep your eyesssssssss on the sssssssssssssky and the treesssssss for any Mr. Wilsonssssss that might be turning in.". Fire pulled in on the other side and said blankly, "You look pretty assssssssssss a Sssssssserraptor."
Alarice rolled her eyes and continued running farther and farther from the still gaping crowd.

Blushing, Thalia almost dropped Zuel when turning away.  She couldn't really think of anything to say, so she just kept on running.  "Hey, watch out!  I don't want to fall when you're running this fast.  It wouldn't be pretty."  said Zuel as they kept on running.  Having to jerk around some to avoid the tree stumps, Thalia soon got tired.  "Hey, guys?  Can we rest somewhere for the night?  I don't know how much more I can take, since the morphing is taking away more strength for some reason."

[Remedy]

Alarice pondered a little, then said, "Yesssssss, it would be wisssssssssssse for usssssssss to ssssssssssstop for the night.  Alsssssssso, I forgot to mention, Thalia, that when you morph and you're tired, it tendssssssss to make thingssssssss a little bit worsssssssse.  Assssssssssss for myssssssself, though, I have had all the resssssssst I've needed from being unconceoussssssss." She winked, then came to a stop by abruptly turning to the side, sending a wave of dirt through the air which actually ended up hitting Fire and knocking him over.  
After Fire got up, brushed himself off, and morphed into human form, he said, "Well, there isn't much we can use as shelter or something.  I didn't pack a tent, so maybe we could just sleep on the ground in another form or something." he snorted a little, then added, "Except for Zeul.  Sorry, buddy, you're outta luck.  Better curl up in a ball over by that tree over there."  He playfully punched Zeul in the shoulder, implying that it was only a joke.  Alarice shook her head and rolled her eyes, then turned to Thalia.  "What's your advice on this, Thal?"

"Why don't we have one of us morph into a Battleheart, and then the rest of us sleep under them when they're curled up?  That would keep most of the wind off of us at least."  That was the best Thalia could think of, especially since she was almost ready to collapse from weariness.  She walked over and slumped against the tree while she waited for the others to reply.  But she figured out that Zuel obviously was more interested in trying to hit on Alarice.  "Hey, no need to get crazy." he complained as Thalia dragged him to where she was sitting.  "Look, I'm going to be heading off somewhere.  I don't know how to tell Alarice though, so just say good bye for me in the morning.  I'm off now."  That was all Zuel said before he went off.

[Remedy]

Alarice pondered a little, then said, "That is a good idea.  Since I'm the most rested, I'll stay up and be a Battleheart as well as keep lookout for anything during the night.  Is everyone fine with that?" she asked, knowing that they all would since all of them were tired and looked like hell.  With only tired mumbles for an answer, she sighed and morphed into a Battleheart, stretching her broad bat wings to the side, sort of propping one side on the tree, making a tent, and returning the other side to wrap aroun her body for her own warmth.  With her head, she motioned to the area under her wing, informing them to get on in.

Fire, like Thalia, was so tired that he felt like he was about to pass out.  He didn't say anything, though.  He just walked into the wing-tent and pigged out.  Alarice snorted a little, but then laid her head down in the grass, her eyes looking at the sunlight that was slowly fading beyond the horizon.

[Elektra]

"Ok, well, night."  Thalia said.  She wondered how long it would be before Alarice and Fire noticed that Zuel was gone.  Soon she was engulfed in sleep, dreaming and resting.  Before she knew it, morning had come.  Getting up to stretch, Thalia noticed that the others were still asleep.  "Might as well get more sleep myself then."  she thought.  Laying back down, she snuggled in closer to Fire, close enough that they were both touching.

[Remedy]

When Thalia slept closer to Fire, though unaware, he began to toss a bit in his sleep.  His facial expression showed confused, and there was no telling what dreams were running through his mind.  Pretty soon he woke up with a start, then sighed, then stiffened in surprise at finding Thalia so close to him.  He almost started panicing, because he didn't want to move away, since if she were actually awake, she might consider it rude or something.  You really never know with girls.

Alarice, on the other hand, had fallen asleep by accident, and the moment the sunlight reached her face, her reptile eyes slid open.  Craning her neck, she looked under her wing (which was now numb after being held up for so long), and she saw Fire and Thalia basicly cuddling, and- no Zeul.  The shock of everything accidently made her morph into a Shartile.  Her sudden smallness made her get snapped up into the tree, where, apparently, her wing had been stuck.  Looks like she still needs more practice for mood morphing.  Since her wing was no longer blocking the morning sun's rays, sunlight cast across Thalia and Fire, fully waking both of them up.  Alarice wiggled around a little, then, once she got unstuck, she morphed into her Kuhna form and used Lightfeet to scale the tree until she found a good 'sitting spot'.  Then she watched as Fire and Thalia got up and looked at each other, blushing, before she jumped lightly to te ground in front of them as a Human.  "Mornin', loverbirds." she said, giving them a falsely happy grin.  She knew Zeul must have left or something, but... Without saying goodbye to her?  It was foretold in the dim gleam in her eyes thatdepression would follow her throuought the day.

Fire blushed furiously and stammered a little, but somehow the expression on Alarice's face silenced him.  He looked around.  Zeul wasn't there.  He cast a sympethetic look back at Alarice, but she continued acting happy and teasing.  It would take some serious mood readers to be able to tell what was really running through her head, and Fire was very good at that kind of thing.  After all, he was taught by the best; Alarice.
