[really messed up.]

Dakota's keen ears picked up the talk and heard boys' comments. He had grabbed a knife from the house and without thinking he pinned one, "Where is she?" He demanded, knife at his throat. If the other boy attacked him that knife wouldn't remain clean either.

[Етеяиiту]

Then jumped "woah woah bro shes at Dante's ya know that quarter back" they said terrified for their lives.

[Ŧєคгlєรร∞คгςђєг]

"She better be there or I swear I will hunt you both down and kill you." Dakota glared, his pale blue eyes menacing. He immediately headed off for Dante's.

[Етеяиiту]

They both sighed "crazy a*s" then ran off.

[Ŧєคгlєรร∞คгςђєг]

Once at the house he didn't bother knocking, frankly he had a bad knight after being stabbed and mutilated so he wasn't in a great mood either. He just charged right in, knife in tow.

[Етеяиiту]

The partyers looked to him and smiled as if he was just another one of them, they were holding her mutilated in he basement.

[Ŧєคгlєรร∞คгςђєг]

"Where the hell is she?" He threatened, clutching the knife in his left hand so hard his knuckles were white and looked like them might fall apart.

[He's left-handed c;]

[Етеяиiту]

They all chuckled "like we will give you our play thing" they laughed.

[Ŧєคгlєรร∞คгςђєг]

An evil glint game into Dakota's eyes, they had brought out a dark side which lay dormant in him. The atmosphere around him change dramatically and he said, creepily calm. "I think you will. If you don't hand her over now, you will pay dearly." His death grip had loosened on the life and he flung it around in his hand almost playfully. It was almost as if he'd changed into a completely different person.

[Етеяиiту]

"Basement bro" he said.

down in the basement of the house hung Shiko from ropes strapped to the ceiling, her body battered and bloody as she murmured in a daze softly "help...please...anyone....help" her strong and fearless charade up, she had been put through more than she could imagine.

[Ŧєคгlєรร∞คгςђєг]

Dakota walked through the crowd to the basement, he walked with a posture and attitude that said 'if you even come near my I'll slit your throat.'
As this 'person' Dakota's injuries did not hurt him, nor did they hinder him. The moment he saw Shiko though that attitude disappeared and he ran to her. "Shiko!" He whispered in horror. He cut the straps carefully so she would not go crashing to the floor. "Can you walk?" He asked, unsure if he could carry her in his state.

[Етеяиiту]

She was dazed and in a beaten shape "Dakota...you came..?" She said in a slightly questioning tone, she stood and tried to walk, limping and falling to her cut open knees and wincing "whistle, please, whistle " she said.

[Ŧєคгlєรร∞คгςђєг]

"Of course I came." He gave her a grim smile. "Lean on me." He instructed. He thought it an odd request for him to whistle but did as she asked and began whistling a tune.

[Етеяиiту]

"Just one, you dont have to help, Ke-" she was cut off by her weakness and the opening of the basement doors in a crash. She fell almost unconscious, her vision blurry and her body falling limp.

Kellin and the three identical siblings ran down "we told you not to get up till morning" they yelled at Dakota "you found her, sucks then" they removed Dakota from next to her "we have to get you home, comon" they said helping him up and ignoring Shiko who reached for him, an abandoned look on her face.

[Ŧєคгlєรร∞คгςђєг]

Shiko was in worse condition than him and it angered him that they just ignored her. "Let me go you b*stards." He growled and shoved them off of him, helping Shiko up with some difficulty. His own strength was running out very quickly and he didn't know how much longer he could last.

[Етеяиiту]

"Just let her go" they insisted as Shiko fell against him limply.

[Ŧєคгlєรร∞คгςђєг]

Dakota fixed them with a hard glare. "What has she ever done to you? I'm not going to just leave her. I'd rather die first." He scooped her up in his arms and he stooped slightly, agonizing pain shooting through him at the extra weight but he made his way past with her slowly but surely. Dakota also suggested they do something highly anatomically impossible and unlikely under his breath as he passed.

[Етеяиiту]

The twins smiled and rolled their eyes, kellin shifting into a large black horse and nudging him to lay her on his back, jake shifting into one as well for him to climb on, the other two shifting into large ferocious tigers to ward off anyone who came near.

[Ŧєคгlєรร∞คгςђєг]

Dakota gave him a small glare. "You better be careful with her or it will be the last thing you ever do." He threatened and set her on Kellin's back, but instead of climbing on Jake's back he shifted into a snow leopard yet again. He couldn't do much but if worse came to worse he wanted to do what he could to protect her as well as keep up. He was surprised he could maintain his form but it took a little bit of thought.

[Етеяиiту]

The animals strode out, kellins back dripping with blood now.

Shiko had deep cuts along her abdomen legs and arms, bruises lining her body and a few cuts along her face and lip.
