Xander's jaw dropped when he realized it was Audra. He started to breath heavily. Damn, where's my smoke? He said to himself. He put the cigarette back in his mouth and breathed in the smoke.
Tray sat down and looked at the cat. He was just gonna sit back and let Audra and Xander work this out. And whoever the man was. He brushed his tail across the soft ground. Almost laughing at Xander. He was out of the loop. But Tray wanted to help him. Tray ran back into the woods. He took his bag that had his extra clothes in it. He changed back to human and put his clothes on.
He came back out as himself. Normal clothes and his blaster on his back. "Hi, Xander........" He chuckled.
Xander's jaw dropped. "Please........for the love of God......tell me your not the wolf."
"Sorry." He laughed.
Xander sighed. He took out his smoke and put it between his finger. "Excuse my language." he said, putting his hands up defensively. "But what the &@%# is going on here?"
"Hey, don't look at me." Tray shrugged. "I just got here. I'm just a poor black man trying get through the day." he laughed.

Audra wanted to change back so bad an explain this whole thing to Xander but right now she couldn't and it made her so frustrated. The blood that had dried on the dark blue wolfs face made her unable to change back without haveing a massive scar across her face. Why did I have to get hit with those damn nails! She asked herself angerly as she watched as Xander took another puff of his cancer stick.
With a sigh a bit suprised at Xanders curseing. He is becomeing disgruntled! Audra thought as she saw how freaked out he was getting. It made her think what would have happened if she had just told these two earlyer about how she was not completely human.

Darren look up at the two guys.
WILL EVERYONE STOP F****ING CHANGING
He was getting sick of shifting between human and wolf because the next day he was going to be in agony. This was why he hated normal shifters. They had it so much easier. He darted of into the bushes grabbing a bag of his clothes in his mouth before jumping into them.
A few minutes later Darren stood back out of the bushes dressed in his torn and bloodied blue jeans, his black shirt was amazingly still in one piece, and besides the few speck of blood on his black hair and his brown skin. He looked fine.Finally he grabbed his sword and sheathed it at his side. He stepped back out of the bushes and looked at the two guys.
"Excuse me, I'm usually a lot politer but may I ask. Who the hell are you?"

Xander gave the man a smug look. "I could ask you the same question...I'm Xander Tricker. Audra's best friend and mechanic. We work together also." he nodded.
"And I'm Tray Quinn." Tray smiled. "Audra's brother from another mother. She's my sister no matter what. Now, who the hell are you and what are you doing with Audra?" tray voice became stern and his eyes narrowed.
"You better not have hurt her." Xander said sternly, rising up form his crouch.

Audra sat back fallowing the conversation with her green eyes, the noonday sun illuminateing the golden speckles. She could feel the tension that was riseing from Xander as he asked about Darren hurting her. Why is it that I get hurt at the most inconvinant times? She asked herself as she laid down placeing her head on to her paws. With a sigh she waited for Darren to answer Xander's question.

Darren was pissed. He was cold, hungry and injured. He could understand their worry for their friend but if he honestly had wanted to hurt her he would have done so already, he knew how to commit a murder without any set backs but he'd given that up along time ago.
"Xander, Tray I understand your worry, but I have not hurt Audra. I was helping her. I saw her in the woods alone and invited her to rest up here before morning. After awhile another man appeared and I offered him sanctuary too. Turned out he was a bloody bandit. That's why myself and her are hurt."
Darren was absoluteness furious, but he realised something. Audra had to show them that she was the wolf. They don't know that she
is a shifter...
"Though I guess a more formal introduction is in order, I'm Darren"
He gave a slight bow of his head.

Xander sighed. "Well, now hearing that story...I seem to understand." Xander kicked some dirt as he walked to stand by Tray. he felt sorry for Audra, yet he was kind of mad at her. Why didn't she tell him that she was a shifter? Why didn't Tray? Why did Audra trust Darren to tell her secret but not him? Her best friend since she came to the Waste?
"Well," Tray said. "I hate to break this little....whatever you call it up, but I think it would be safer to go back to Xander's garage. It's in the Kuneer desert...not very far from here, and we could get Audra back home to heal. That's just my two cents."
Xander gave Tray a look.
Tray shrugged. "We could give you a ride too, Darren. If you'd like."
Xander gave Tray another look. he didn't like the looks of this guy. mainly he was mad at him. He was still pissed that Audra hadn't told him she was a shifter. But she told Darren? Why?

Audra could feel the anger comeing off of Xander in waves. She knew this was going to happen and was ashamed for letting it get so far. Now I wish I told them sooner . . . so this couldn't have happened. She thought as she averted her gaze from the conversation to her paws.
She had always been afraid to tell people she was not human, based on the fact that that was why her parents had abandoned her and why no one would take her in when she was placed in the Navalen Orphanage. Audra had always taken her powers as more of a curse and had kept to herself since she found refuge in the waste.
Its easy to tell a complete stranger then it is to tell a close friend . . .

Darren felt somewhat responsible for Audra's injuries and he'd make sure she'd recover.
"Yeah, I'll take the ride. I good with magic so I might be able to heal her wounds after I've rested a bit."
Rihimos who'd sat on the floor beside Darren was taking in the whole story. She was slightly agitated and frightened when the 3 wolves appeared. She knew Darren and Audra. But Tray? She climbed back up Darren body to sit herself on his shoulder. He lifted his and and scratched her ear. It was felt slightly degrading when he did this but the part of her self that was a cat couldn't help but purr at the sensation, and to be quite honest she didn't mind it. It was only Darren after all.
Darren took his hand back and looked back at the group.
"I hope you don't mid if Rihimos comes along."
He said smiling, he was starting to feel slightly better. A werewolves metabolism was always a bonus. He began to what was left of his stuff and repack it again. A small scrap of leather hear or a a cured hide there and he was done. Slinging the bag over his shoulder he turned round back to the group.

Tray nodded. "You can ride with me." Tray told Darren. tray didn't want Xander alone with Darren. Who knows what Xander would say to him? "Xander, you take Audra." Tray commanded sternly. He gave Xander a look.
"Fine." Xander muttered. He stood by Audra and waited for her to move. He hoped she could walk, even with her injuries. If she couldn't he'd help her. Even with his anger.
Tray looked at Xander. He looked at Rihimos. "Yeah, I'm cool with the cat." he smiled. "Come on." He started to walk out of the clearing.
Xander watched as Audra took a few steps. Xander sighed. He picked up the wolf and walked out of the clearing.

Audra wereily walked forward on her tired paws. She wobbled unsteadily after Xander trying to match his stride and failing. With a sigh he picked her up and carryied her through the woods. It was a bit akward for her she would have rather had all four of her feet on the ground but it was a free ride.
With a slight sigh Audra layed her head on Xander's shoulder just letting it hang there. Watching the forest slowly disaper as the steady thumping of Xanders footsteps on the undergrowth and the gentle rise and fall of his chest she closed her eyes and let her eyelids droop and she fell into a light sleep.
