 Lily Grey "Everything is here for a purpose. Mine was to meet you." " I have to be more stubborn to keep you in line." Lily teased a little, letting out a soft laugh but not loud enough to disturb the sleeping she wolf. Lily then noticed that Eriks hand then started to move his hand as if he was searching for something. The little rabbit smiled softly and reached out to grab it, entwining her her small hands with his. Her small hands now were not pure and soft as they were when Erik first met her. Do to the training her hands now had the all blue and black coloring, along with the odd cut just like the rest of her body. Lily didn't mind the cuts or bruises on her body. To her it was just proof that she was working hard, for both Erik and herself. She slowly pulled their entwined hands closer to her before leaning in a little and lightly kissing it. Eriks comment on the horses made Lily look back once more to see if she could still see the horses before looking back at Erik. " Yeah, they are one of my favorite animals." Lily said with a bright smile as she thought about the animals. " When I was a little and my parents had time off they would take me to a small farm that was outside of the city we lived in were I got to ride horses." Lily said softly as she remembered the old farm were her parents would take her to ride horses. " I don't think I been close to a horse since my parents last took me to that farm now that I think about it." Lily said mostly to herself as she thought about it. Lily had a soft smile on her face as she thought about her parents, thinking back how much they loved her and one another. " They would of liked you… Father especially because of how protective you are." Lily said as she leaned her head on Eriks seat and arm a little and softly kissed his hand again as she noticed the forest coming into view.

Erik Leifton "Call me what you will, I'm still here to protect you." ☽ XXXX There was a calmness that took over whenever Lily would entwine her hand in his. A calmness he cherished, like the jagged pieces of his mind were softened. A soft smile touched his face as he felt her lips gently press against their hands. Erik kept his eyes on the road as they had grew closer to the woods. When she mentioned her parents he made sure to pay attention, as she seldom talked about them. "We should go back to that farm when we get back." He said this softly, silently promising himself to make good on that idea.
Erik chuckled "I doubt that any father would be happy their daughter is with a wolf. Literally in your case little rabbit." He joked and smirked briefly checking back to look at her before returning to the road. "They sound like great parents, I would have loved to meet them." All manner of joking gone from his voice, instead only a soft sorrow hung there. How different her life would have been, how much better? She would have been happier undoubtedly. But here she was showing a wolf how to live, how to be happy. His main hope now was to make it through this trial and have a future with this remarkable girl clutching his hand. As they inched further into the woods Erik slowed the car until finally grinding to a halt. "The rest of the journey will be on foot." He sighed and killed the engine looking at the cold woods before them with a sense of foreboding. XXXX When the car stopped and turned off Maya shot up "Finally!" She shouted before jumping out of the car. In a flurry of movement, the blonde collected her backpack and dashed into the woods. Stopping a few feet in front of the car to spin arms wide, ecstatic to be back in her own world so to speak. Where the world made sense, where she could run free.

Lily Grey "Everything is here for a purpose. Mine was to meet you." " Back to the farm?" She thought about it for a moment and it would be nice to get away from the city with Erik that did not have to do with the pack or anything. " I would like that but Erik... Have you ever been on a horse?" Lily asked, slightly tilting her head as she tried to picture Erik on a horse. When Erik brought up her father not being happy about being with a wolf she couldn't help but laugh a little. " Not at first no not at all, but... I think after some time he would grow to liking you." Lily smiled a little more thinking about her father. Lily was a spitting image of her mother besides one thing and that was her eyes. Lily had the same eyes as her father did. " I wish you could..." The little rabbit said quietly to herself before the car had stopped. The smaller females stormy eyes looked over to the blonde who had jumped up from her slumber and watched her jump out of the car. Lily smiled a little before letting go of Eriks hand slowly and got out of the car. The cold fall air hit her as she stepped out, making her nuzzle into Eriks jacket that she had not returned. Lily made her way around the car, opening the trunk to get her things along with Eriks. Shutting the trunk she put her pack on her back and handed Eriks his own. " Ready?"

Erik Leifton "Call me what you will, I'm still here to protect you." ☽ XXXX Erik simply shook his head, other animals didn't tend to like him very much. He mused that it was perhaps they could detect that he was a predator. "Never. But we should still go." He nodded to himself. He needed that, to know there was a life something after this. That this issue with his pack wouldn't be forever.
Erik rolled his eyes as he watched Maya bolt from the car. "Lunatic." He scoffed before getting out of the car and joining Lily in getting their things. Seeing her nuzzle in his jacket was a welcome sight, one that warmed him better than any fire could. He mumbled his thanks as he took his pack from her small hand. After he made sure his pack was on him and felt comfortable he took a step closer to Lily, gently cradling her face in his larger hands. Erik gave her a soft smile "So long as I have you, I'm ready for anything." He whispered and bent to give an almost chaste kiss to her soft lips. XXXX Maya had darted into the woods and waited for the two little love birds to catch up. She fished out a small flask, taking a brief shot before shouting "C'mon already! Stop sucking face!" Demanding in her oh so charming way that they begin their journey.

Lily Grey "Everything is here for a purpose. Mine was to meet you." Lily simply smiled up at her prince as he mumbled his thanks. She was about to step forward and walk towards Maya when Erik stepped closer to her. Her stormy sea eyes watched the tall man carefully as his large loving hands cradled her small face. She could feel the warmth of his hands seeping into her cheeks, making her want to slowly melt away. A kiss was planted onto her soft pink lips that she happily excepted his kiss. The sound of Maya yelling at them could be heard, making Lily pull away and laugh softly to herself. " Best not keep her waiting any longer." She said as she took Eriks hand and started to walk towards Maya. " You will always have me. No matter what we will face." Lily said looking up at Erik, with her eyes telling that she meant it. As they got closer to Maya, Lily looked around in the forest that they were now stepping into. She had never really been into the woods, or at least not for as long and deep at they would be. " So... Are we trying to find them before they find us?" The human still wasn't sure how things were going to go down. It wasn't going to be simple that she knew but you couldn't blame her for not knowing.

Erik Leifton "Call me what you will, I'm still here to protect you." ☽ XXXX Erik gave a small smile when Lily confirmed that they had each other. Of course he knew she meant it, her eyes said it all. But to hear it in her sweet voice caused his heart to stutter for a moment. As she guided them to follow Maya he let out a childish groan. "She can fall in a hole for all I care." he grumbled and slung his arm around her shoulders with their hands still joined.
Although Erik had dreaded the journey he couldn't help feeling more at ease being surrounded by the foliage and the cold bite in the air. Taking a deep breath he continued on with Lily at his side "Something like that. We're going to try to find one of the old spots" he explained as he navigated them through the brush. "Maya! You're going too far East," he called out with a scowl. XXXX Maya had been veering off course altogether too excited to be in the woods again. She focused solely on the cold air, and even the slightly musty scent that the woods could give after a rainstorm. Hearing Erik snap at her had her smile disappear and a scowl that replaced it rather quickly. "Stuff it!" She snapped back and annoyingly she made the correction passing them as she went. "They'll find us first. Not like they don't know our scents and since the human is slowing us down they'll probably find us first." She scowled and jogged a bit to have some distance "We better set up traps when we set up camp! I'm starving!" She yelled out, startling a rabbit and a large number of birds from their hiding places.

Lily Grey "Everything is here for a purpose. Mine was to meet you." "Shhh" Lily gently jabbed her elbow into Eriks side as he put his arm around her. " We need all the help we can right now." She herself was not a fan of having Eriks ex helping them or hanging around but they didn't really have a choice. After this was all over Lily hoped Erik and her could get away from everything for a while and just relax. Even just sitting in their little apartment with just the two of them would be nice. She gave a small smile at the thought of the two of them back at what was now their apartment and not just her own.
Hearing Erik explain a little what would happen, Lily nodded her head before her wolf prince snapped a little at the she wolf snapped back. Lilys stormy sea eyes looked at the blonde as she claimed Lily was slowing them down. " Careful you are almost as human as I am right now..." She muttered to herself before watching a scared white rabbit run across the path thanks to Maya. " She is right... Best set traps at camp and do it before dark."The small female said under Eriks arm before she started to pick up pace as almost trying to show she could keep up and not slow them down

Erik Leifton "Call me what you will, I'm still here to protect you." ☽ XXXX A snarl was quickly directed at Maya, but quickly melted into look of mild shock and pride as Lily snapped back. Albeit under her breath but still. "That's not entirely true. We are still stronger and faster than humans right now. But as we get closer to the new moon we get weaker." He said quietly and plodded along with Lily at his side, bending his head to whisper in her ear "But good on you for snapping back at her." He gave a quick kiss to the side of her head, as they continued on.
Turning his blue eyes to the sky, it was relaxing to see the branches and leaves blot out pieces of the sky. As if he was no longer exposed, it helped to have him feel more at peace in this world. Noting the sky, and where the sun was in it he sighed silently calculating how far off nightfall was. "I agree." He mused turning his eyes back to the path before them. "Once we cover a few miles we'll set some traps for camp. Sound good?" He asked looking to Lily for her input. XXXX Maya had continued on in front of the pair behind her. Trying to ignore them, and focused on finding her way back to the pack. Back to where she is safe and has a purpose. Looking back she noticed Erik bending his head to kiss the human's head. She sneered and turned to look back to her path only. Hoping that being back with the pack, that Erik would remember who and what he is and come back to her and the pack. Maya kept on walking focusing on the forest around her but hearing him ask for the little human's input in their next steps had her freeze in her movements. Her hands curled into tense fists, face twisting into a snarl. He was treating her as an alpha... a spot she had long thought she would be in. An alpha female along with her alpha male, and now that was no longer her. For a moment she wanted to whirl around scream and hit them both until she could knock sense into his muddled mind. But instead she took another stiff step forward and another, "We need to find the pack." She whispered to herself hoping that once she got him there, he would come back to his senses and in a way come back to her.

Lily Grey "Everything is here for a purpose. Mine was to meet you." When Erik made his comment about how they were still stronger and faster than humans she shot him a glare before looking back at the path. They may still be stronger and faster then her but at least she had a better chance now then when it's closer to a full moon. She still had to be careful though, even with her training it may not be enough to help Erik, let alone save herself if need be. She was dealing with supernatural, a world she knew so little about. As Erik leaned over to whisper in her ear she slightly smiled before a sweet kiss was planted on her head. Lily was not one to be snappy unless it came to people she cared for and at this moment the only people she cared for was Erik. "Sounds good." Agreeing to the wolf prince's idea. Lily then noticed Maya had stopped for a moment and wondered if she saw something. Before Lily could ask, the blonde had started walking again. Letting out a sigh, Lily decided to forget about it and continue on. As the three walked deeper into the forest, Lily looked at all the nature around her. She never been this deep in any forest. She always stayed hidden in her apartment unless she went to work, the library or her run until she met Erik. Every now and then she would look up at Erik and notice how at peace he was being here. She wondered how long it has been since he was back. The forest was his home after all and now he was living in a city in a crappy little apartment. Lily came to a stop after some time and looked around before pointing to a slight clearing that was enough space to set up their tents but also have some coverage. " We should set up camp now while we still have some daylight. I can start setting up camp if you two want to set the traps? Save some time." The frail human said as she let go of Eriks hand and slowly peeled away from Erik to get to her bag so she could start setting up Eriks and her tent.

Erik Leifton "Call me what you will, I'm still here to protect you." ☽ XXXX Looking to the sky Erik couldn't help but agree with her plan. "I agree." He followed her to the clearing she pointed out taking off his own pack to collect what they would need to set the traps. Only once he finished collecting what would be needed did he zip up his pack. Looking over at Lily starting the process to set up the tents he smiled "When I get back I'll get a good fire going for us." Turning to Maya he saw her stiff form deposit her own meager pack.
She had been too quiet for a while now, and the glare she was sending Lily's way had Erik on high alert. They had hunted together for years, been close at one point. Erik knew when she was getting ready to attack and all the warning signs were there screaming at him. He gave what he hoped was a reassuring smile and wink to Lily before jogging over to the blonde and clapping her on the shoulder "C'mon Maya, we got traps to set." He barked out demanding her attention. XXXX Maya had planned on insisting that they press on, but she followed Erik to what would be their campsite. It was a good selection, but like hell would she ever say that. She stood at the edge of the clearing numb as she glared at the human girl. Their time training had lessened some of her hostility. But for her to be reminded that Erik was gone, that the future she wanted for herself was so far beyond her reach - her aggression reared it's ugly head once more. If not for Erik physically jolting her and demanding assistance she probably would have continued on that particular spiral.
Dutifully she helped him set their traps for the evening, numbly she followed him but something kept gnawing at her mind. It would have stayed in her mind, but as they started on their return she needed to say this before their time alone was gone. "You never did that with me." it started as a whisper, halting both of their movements, them being only a couple of yards from camp Maya knew she had to speak now. "Look for my opinion, that is." she sneered as she waited for his response. It took some time but finally, he responded "You're right, and you should be with someone who does that. That's why we are no good together Maya." Maya gritted her teeth trying to hold back the tears as he continued. "She's my partner, I trust her. I'm sorry that you're hurting but that's the truth. You have to accept that." While Erik stalked away back to camp Maya stood stock still silently letting a few tears fall in the dark where no one could see them fall.

Lily Grey "Everything is here for a purpose. Mine was to meet you." Lily started pulling out the tent out of her bag and was ready to set it up when Erik said he would make a fire when he got back. " Alright. I will look for small branches for you to get the fire started." The brunette stated before she looked at Maya to only see her glaring at her. Maya had been a little to quite and by the looks of it she was ready to snap. After spending so much time with Maya, Lily was use to her hateful glares, threats and snapping but something was different. The little rabbit was at lose of words to say to the she wolf. Her wolf prince then gave her a smile and wink, giving her a bit of ease before the two wolves were gone to set up the traps. Lily set up the two tents for the three of them along with their sleeping bags inside. Once the tents were all set up the llittle rabbit gathered up some branches that Erik could use to start up the fire just as she said she would. Putting the branches down where the fire would be, Lily looked up to what now was the night sky to see so many bright beautiful stars. With it almost being a moonless night and not being in the city you could see the stars much better. Lily couldn't remember the last time she seen the night sky so clear with all the stars. Lily was always scared of the dark since her parents died that she forgot the beauty in it as well.Her stormy eyes slowly pealed away from the stary sky as Erik aproched the camp and gave him a smile. " I got some branches for the fire." She stated when she noticed Maya was not with him. " Everything go okay?" (Ooc: awww poor Maya)

Erik Leifton "Call me what you will, I'm still here to protect you." ☽ XXXX Erik returned Lily's easy smile with a tight one of his own. Casually he walked up to meet her and gently placing a hand on her shoulder "It will be." He said cryptically before he continued towards the camp. "Let's get that fire started." He said a bit louder making sure Maya could hear him. While he no longer loved her, he still cared for the she wolf. They grew up together, they hunted together for so many years. As he silently set about lighting the fire he sighed thinking on their relationship wile that history still mattered Erik knew he was a better person with Lily. Somehow in the short time together she drew out that part of him that wanted to be better, to not be so cold and cruel as he had been.
With the fire blazing, he took a step back watching it before looking up to find Lily. "You did a great job with the camp." He said easily giving the compliment. Watching as Maya silently joined their camp, his face stoic as he watched her. While he cared for Maya, he wouldn't hesitate to tear her apart if she tried to hurt Lily. XXXX Maya stood in the dark for a long moment before wiping away her tears. Hiking up her hoodie she stalked back towards camp glaring all the way. Seeing Erik standing across the flames and watching her movements like she was the enemy or a problem to deal with. She hated that. But she kept silent, she'd been on the receiving end of Erik's wrath before and it was not something she wanted to relive. Coming over to the fire she knocked over a piece of relatively dry wood and plopped down warming her hands by the fire. Looking around the camp she had to agree the human had done well. But his easy compliment was so off from the wolf he used to be. Maya was never one to give up, and so she resolved that if she could show Lily his cruel nature she'd run screaming as any human would. "We should have dinner soon. I saw a couple of rabbits checking out our traps," she said in a quiet voice poking idily at the fire with a twig.

Lily Grey "Everything is here for a purpose. Mine was to meet you." Her wolf prince approached her, making the little rabbit watch him with slight curiosity. Lily just looked up at Erik as he placed a hand on her shoulder before her eyes watched him go towards the fire. She turned back to where Erik came from to see if Maya would come out. Sure enough, the she wolf did come out with her hood over her head. It was clear that something happened but Lily decided not to pry. The human gave Maya a soft smile before turning to the fire Erik had made and stood beside both Erik and Maya by the fire. " I learned from the best." Lily pointed out as Erik complemented on how she set up camp. Thanks to both Erik's and Mayas training Liky was now more skilled in things she never dreamed at being skilled at. The stormy eyes watched Maya poke the fire with a twig for a moment before she tilted her head up to look at the stary night sky. It was a shame that they were out here to hunt or be hunted by Erik's pack and not her to just enjoy the nature around them along with each others company. Then again Lily was sure Maya did not enjoy her company and Erik not Mayas. Letting out a sigh at the thought, Lily returned her gaze to the fire as Maya said that they should eat. " I will go check." She figured that Erik wouldn't want to leave her alone with Maya by the way he was watching her and she doubt Maya would do it by the way she was acting. " I will be right back." Giving Erik a small smile, the young woman pulled out a flashlight from her pocket and made her way to the Bush where the two came from. Following the footprints from Erik and Maya, Lily was able to find her first trap. Sure enough, there was a little white rabbit in the trap. As Lily got closer she saw that the little white reddit was covered in it's own blood from the trap. Its lifeless dead eyes looking right up at her. The frail woman woman looked at it for a moment before she started to feel queasy. She kneeled down ready to remove the rabbit from the trap but then the smell of blood hit her. Quickly, Lily turned away from the rabbit and through up. She let out a cough as her mouth was now violated with vomit alone with her nose from the smell. Not wanting to attacked any unwanted animals or Erik and Maya smelling it even she covered the vomit up the best she could with dirt. Here she was, throughing up over a dead animal when she spent all this time training for the possibility of having to face death and even being the reason for it... She was so scared, scared that she wouldn't be able to help Erik and Maya. Scared she would be forced to kill someone who once mattered to Erik. Most of all, Lily was scared of loosing Erik. Seeing him die in front of her, his cold dead body in front of her and not being able to do anything. The thought made her tremble and her breathing quickened. Her trembling hands soon enough got the rabbit out of the trap before she made her way to another trap. After some time, Lily had returned to camp with two rabbits in her hand by the feet. " I got dinner." The smaller female announced as she lifted up the rabbits a little before clearing her throat. " I think I am going to skip on this one... Feel a little odd eating my spirit animal." Lily said with a lift laugh towards Erik. " I think I am going to call it a night. Night." Lily said softly as she placed the rabbits down and went into Erik's and hers tent. Before she did anything in the tent she got a water bottle from her bag and drank a good amount of water as she was trying to get the vomit taste out of her mouth.

Erik Leifton "Call me what you will, I'm still here to protect you." ☽ XXXX Erik shot ramrod straight as Lily announced that she would get the prey. He hadn't particularly wanted her to do that. But he reminded himself at how Lily had all but demanded to be treated like an Alpha - caring for both of them and pushing to be trained to fight. His jaw clenched as he watched her, jumping to stand when she moved just out of sight. Worried blue eyes scanned the area waiting to see her soft chestnut hair in the dark, anxious to have her in sight again. XXXX Maya let out a scoff at the wolf's actions. "Nervous she's going to fall into one of our own traps?" She spoke with a spiteful nature and a sneer on her face. It wasn't long until the cool wind brought along the slight scent of stomach acid. The sneer turned into a nasty smirk before laughing "If that's how she deals with blood at least the pack will leave her alone. If only for the smell." Her laughter drew to a close only after Erik had dealt a swift punch across her face. Spitting out a sliver of blood she turned her blazing green eyes to Erik and was almost prepared to retaliate - until she saw the murderous look on his face.
The wolf glared down at the female growling out "Shut your trap." He stalked to tower over her seated form "You will respect her as your Alpha so long as you are here, or I will put you in the ground. Got that Beta?" When Maya expectedly lunged to challenge that he swiftly gripped her throat with one hand, tightening and halting her movements. After a moment she relented and moved to withdraw, Erik held fast for a moment longer before releasing her. Stalking back to his original place he returned to his vigil waiting for Lily.
Watching her return his worry intensified. Of course, this affected her, this was all so different for her. While nature could be beautiful it was also cruel. Taking the rabbits he wanted to reach out but she quickly found seclusion in their tent. Taking a breath Erik set about skinning and setting up both rabbits to cook over their fire. Glaring at Maya he gave a distinct order "Handle the food correctly." He growled before grabbing his pack and a mug of hot water and tucking into the tent. His features softened with worry as he sat inside their tent. "Hey," he whispered before shuffling in his pack for a ginger tea bag. Steeping it into the hot mug he offered it to Lily. "This should help some." He gave a sheepish smile. XXXX☾

Lily Grey "Everything is here for a purpose. Mine was to meet you." Lily had drank half the water in her water bottle before putting it back in her bag. Most of the taste in her mouth was gone but there was just enough left in her mouth that it would make anything g she eat seem off. Skipping dinner because of that was one of the reasons she skipped eating with a few other little things. Besides she knew that the two wolves could eat all the two rabbits with no problem. The young woman then started to take her jacket off and get ready for bed. The little rabbit took off her shoes before sitting on her sleeping bag and pulled out her silver gun. Lily was checking that the gun was loaded when Erik came into the tent. "Hey." She whispered back before she put the silver gun he gave her beside her pillow. " That was quick. Did Maya and you already cook and eat? Or did you both eat them raw?" Lily asking quietly with a light laugh as Erik went through his bag. She noticed that he pulled out a tea bag and figured he just came in here to get himself tea but then Erik handed it over to her. Lily looked at Erik a little confused before she frowned slightly at the cup. Of course he knew, she couldn't hide anything from him. There was no point trying to hide it from this wolf and if he knew then Maya knew. " Thank you..." She said a little to quietly as she gently took the cup out of Erik's hand and sipped on it slowly. "I am fine really, don't worry about it." He had other things to worry about, more important things then her getting sick over some blood. He couldn't hold her hand through all this because there may come a point that the two may be separated in these woods. Lily may have to face things on her own and she didnt want Erik to worry.
