<span style="color: #FF8000">Aidan smirked, looking over at Lucia and noting how she was not meeting her eyes which was a good thing with how her inner shewolf was behaving herself. Aidan nodded and turned her smirk into a smile, "I will probably join you....can't have you having Thomas all to yourself now can I?" the last bit was said in a low teasing tone as she finished up with the dishes then set about stacking them to carry back up to the cave for drying and putting away. </span><br/><br/>Shockâ€¦it was the only thing that could come close to describing how she felt at the moment, though if one were to think about it she should have seen it coming. With how nice and nurturing Juliet was being,<span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">Where was Romeo? He was never far from her side before,</span></span></span>then Matt came over and he wiped away some makeup to reveal a scar she did not remember.<br/><br/>Just like a wave crashing against a cliff, Eryan felt herself waver for a moment as she tried to take it all in, tried to get herself to listen to the truth of his words, the emotion that she sensed. Suddenly her chest became tight and she began having trouble time breathing, her vision wavering for a moment as she grew dizzy.<span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Noâ€¦noâ€¦this canâ€™t be true, Sherman was so strong and brave there was no way in hell that even with Aderolâ€™s help he would be taken down by Dark Sky. They were all lying to her, being mean and cruel to her for how she use to act with them before she left. Yeah that was it and the rest of the pack was on some kind of an extended hunting trip, but then where were the pups? </span></span><br/></span><br/>She felt sick and she felt like her world was coming to an end as she pushed away from Juliet and Matt getting to her feet, needing space, needing air. â€œNoâ€¦you are all lyingâ€¦.this is notâ€¦.it canâ€™t beâ€¦He promisedâ€¦.He promised he would be here when I got back!â€ angry tears rolling down her cheeks as she thoughts back to the last time she had seen Sherman...<br/><br/><span style="color: #0000FF">Standing with her at the bus depot, waiting with her till it came, â€œSo, you going to be on your best behavior while you are away right? I am not going to be there to save you from the people you annoy and piss offâ€¦â€ Sherman says with a grin as he messed up her carefully arranged hair, making her growl. <br/><br/>â€œYes DADDDâ€ she says dripping with sarcasm as she worked on fixing her hair. <br/><br/>â€œGood. I canâ€™t have my little girl out there getting into bar fights and such. That poor owner needs his business in tack to make a livingâ€ he teased her. <br/><br/>Eryan sighed and shook her head, â€œI promise to be on my best behavior, if you promise to be here when I get back?â€<br/><br/>Sherman smiled, his merry chocolate brown eyes dancing with pride and love to the young woman before him â€œI promiseâ€ his rich deep tone rumbling out as the bus pulled up and he kissed the top of her head. </span><br/><br/>Flash back to the present and Eryan was having a hard time dealing with all of this, it just all seemed so sure real to her and before she knew it she was on her knees sobbing uncontrollably till finally a keening howl burst from her lips and echoed out across the land.<br/><span style="color: #FF8000"><br/>Feeling her pain and sympathizing with her as her raw emotion brought back Aidanâ€™s own pain at the lost and so she threw back her head to howl out with her pack mate, with her sister; to share in her pain and to try and provide sympathy, unity and support all at the same time.  </span>
