Looking for a Lost Puppy

His growl slowly died out as his eyes locked onto Adrien. He stayed very defensive on the floor.

*Adrien kept his eyes on the boy.* "Come here, Ian. Come on I'm going to take you home. Come on."

The glow of his eyes faded and they mostly changed back to the green color they should be. His tense muscles loosened. "A..Adrien?"

Caine gently touched Adrien's back, glancing toward the door. "Not to rush you or anything, but we might want to move. Didn't you say she'd know when the current was stopped?"

*Adrien nodded his head.* "Yep" *He walked forward and scooped the boy in his arms*

Ian held onto Adrien as he was lifted. He didn't want to say anything for fear that this might just be a dream.

Caine held onto Adrien. "Ready?"

*Adrien nodded his head keeping a tight hold on the boy.*

Caine moved them through the darkness, stepping out next to the van where they'd started. He quickly moved for the door. "All here Lissy, lets get moving."

*Adrien got into the back with the boy* "You're ok now."

*Lissy climbed into the back of the van.* "Adrien drive." *She knelt down next to Ian.* "Ian... sweetheart."

Ian felt sick to his stomach after stepping with the others. Dizzy and soar, he lay on the floor where Adrien set him, trying not to vomit.

Caine sat in the passenger's seat, not wanting Ian to wig out because of him again.

*Adrien moved the the driver's seat and headed to the destination they picked to ditch the van.*

*Lissy looked over the boy and fought the anger at seeing his wounds. She gently laid a hand on his shoulder.* "Ian. I"m going to patch you up a little ok."

Feeling the rock of the car as it backed up and moved forward, Ian's eyes popped open toward the windows. They were moving, he didn't feel safe. His hands became clawed and dug into the floor of the van. His eyes glowed gold again and he started to panic. "No! Stop! Let me out!"

*Lissy swallowed took a deep breath.* "You're ok, Ian. We got you." *She used her best mom voice she could.* "You're ok." *She gently pet his hair.*

His heart raced and he rolled over getting on all fours. He quickly crawled for the door, pulling at the handle in a panic. "No, I can't! Please stop!"

*Adrien pulled over the car.* "You drive." *He moved to the back seat and reached to pull Ian into his arms.* "Shhh...."

Caine slid over into the driver's seat. Glancing back the the rest.* "So, um.. go?"

Ian struggled at first to get out of the car, but eventually curled into a frightened ball in Adrien's lap. During the struggle, he may have clawed Adrien.

*Adrien nodded his head* "Yes, go." *He didn't mind the claw mark. He kept his arms around the bow making soothing noises.*

*Lissy moved to the passenger seat and buckled up.*

He sped away toward the dump spot. Looking to Lissy. "He didn't get you did he?"

*Just stayed soothing the boy.*
