<b>Talon and June</b><br/><br/>The girl was still fearful of them, but the fact that they had not harmed her yet seemed to calm her enough not to just run from them, "M-my name is Melody, my mommy and daddy hid me in the hole when they heard the bad men coming."  Tears started to stream from her eyes as she continued, "I-i heard a lot of thumps and fighting, but when the fighting stopped mommy and daddy didn't come and get me."  She looked pleadingly at Talon, "They didn't get taken away right, they beat the bad men right?"  It was obvious that this was a far hope for even her, and Talon's reaction didn't help much.<br/><br/>He simply couldn't think of anything he could say, having to force himself to look her in the eyes and lie was simply something he didn't do, so he went the route of trying to distract her, "Did your parents say who the bad men were?"  That didn't go over well he had to muse as she simply collapsed in sobs, hugging the nearest person to her, June.<br/><br/><b>Hitomi</b><br/><br/>The sounds of a Hound on the hunt came to her ears as she bathed, far at first but getting slowly closer as time passed. It seemed to be slowly heading for the cave that she had been in.
