Pacing around Anathema borders, Kai was restless, listening for any sign of Axelle, that she needed help, that she was hurt, that she had succeeded. He just hoped she was alright. It had been a few hours already - he didn't know how long it would take. Perhaps Tyko hadn't shown up. Perhaps they were talking. Every scenario had run through his mind. Axelle hadn't called, though. Of that he was sure of. Lying down right on the edge of the pack land, Kai continued to keep alert. But still, nothing.

And then, he heard movement ahead of him. His body rose, hoping to see a triumphant Axelle, bloody and exhilerated after slaughtering Tyko as she had wanted to. But it wasn't her. A horse emerged from the treeline, minus a rider. Kai snorted and ignored the beast but as it approached, his eyes settled upon the animal once more. Axelle's horse. Panic set in - if the horse was here, where was Axelle?

A sniff of the air told Kai that blood had been spilt, and as the horse came closer, Kai could see it was his blood he could smell in the air. The horse had been injured. More panic flared in him. A moment or two later and his body had shifted to his Optime form. Kai ran for the steed, taking the reins to get a better look at its wound, before hoisting himself onto the back of it. The horse snorted a little in complaint, but Kai's snarl was enough to knock out any defiance.

Riding in the direction the horse had come, at the fastest speed the animal could manage, he had no idea where Axelle was or in what state she was in. She could be anywhere but he figured if he headed towards the Dampwoods, perhaps he would come across her on the way back to Anathema. She would probably be pissed that her horse had fled and that she was having to walk back to Anathema. Who knows how long it would take her, depending on what state she was in.

His feral eyes searched the treeline, but he could see nothing. No sign of Axelle. Panic began to set in and as time passed, Kai's search became more and more frantic. She hadn't called for him so she couldn't be hurt. Unless she was dead... Unless he had killed her before she drew breath to call. The thought made him shiver, and as night fell, he still couldn't find her. Throwing his head back, he let out a long howl, listening for an answer but none came.

As the sun rose once more, there was still no word, no sign of Axelle. Kai was still trying to keep away the fear that Axelle had been killed, tried to keep a check of the rage and fury that threatened to overtake him when he thought she was dead. Finally, as the horse ran back towards Anathema, Kai's hopes that he had missed her, that she had made it back to Anathema lands fading, he saw her. His heart lurched in his chest and he dismounted the animal before the horse could come to a stop. He darted down to her side, looking over her - her form was covered in blood, and a quick check of the scent told Kai what he feared - that it was hers. His eyes searched over her, and when he caught sign of a breath, of her chest rising and falling, he knew she was at least alive. But only just, judging by the amount of blood there. He had to get her back to the caves, where Panda could take a look at her, fix her up.

"Axelle?? Can you hear me?!" Kai couldn't hide the panic in his voice. He could see some of her wounds but he hadn't noticed the main source of her bleeding, not yet. "I'm gonna take you back home, okay?"Do you think you could sit up?" His plan was to put her on the horse with him to carry her to the caves.
