Spasms shook the girl and Reno and Rude ran over. Jonas grabbed the girls head and the other two men restrained her upper body to prevent her from breaking her neck, suddenly the girl fell still. She was barely breathing and Tifa gasped as she felt the girl's pulse, her heart was barely beating also.

"Reno," Jonas snapped, "Grab her legs, I'm going to lift her and I need your help." Reno did as instructed. "Tifa, you will need to close up early today." Jonas then said, Tifa did just that. "Oh, Tifa can she use the spare room?" Jonas asked and Tifa responded with a "Yes."

Jonas and Tifa carefully carried the girl upstairs and put her on the bed. Tifa then cleaned out her wound and then left the room shutting the door behind her. All four of them where hoping she would live. Reno then kicked Jonas in the groin and he got punched down the stairs.

Later

Tifa set the mugs of ale in front of the three men. Jonas thanked her as did Reno and Rude.

"Why did you blush when you picked her up?" Asked Reno.

"Shut up!" Jonas said sharply.

"Why do you like her?" Reno continued with a smirk.

Jonas growled and punched Reno full in the face. This started an unruly fight between the two men.

Cloud got off Fenrir and walked into the bar, nearly to be trampled by two fighting men. Cloud slapped both of them upside the head.

One of the men, Reno started to yell at him.

"Well don't start a fight in the bar!" Cloud said sharply.

"He started it!" Jonas complained like a kid who was trying to get out of the fact he had been caught fighting.

Reno flipped him the bird got slapped in the back of the head by Cloud. Jonas gave Cloud a sour look and flopped back into his chair.

"Cloud," Tifa said with a smile but then jumped as something fell upstairs with a loud CRASH. Everyone ran upstairs and Cloud kicked open the door to the spare room, and rushed in nearly tripping over the body of a girl laying on the floor.

"Damn!" Jonas swore as he picked up the girl and put her back into the bed. Everyone left and Tifa explained to a stony faced Cloud what had been going on. Cloud one nodded and walked into his office

Again something fell to the ground upstairs and this time they found a wolf nudging the body on the floor. Reno grabbed for his stick but Jonas kept him getting it.

Gala was ticked that the red head had done that. She had been shot at and reverted to her normal wolf size, before the experiments had happened and she had been through a lot, now the mad grabbed for a weapon. The fool!

Jonas walked forward and picked up the girl again, putting her in the bed again. The wolf jumped up curled itself around the feet of the girl and rested her head on the girls legs. Reno sighed and they left again.

2 days later

Reno looked at the girl then back at Tifa. "So..." He started cut of short by a soft moan, he turned back to the girl and looked at her closely.

Lana wanted to wake up she was running two huge shadow chasing her, another offered her love for the price of her soul, she couldn't stop running. Suddenly a different shadow appeared above her offering her a way out, it was shaped like a woman with wings. Lana reached out for the out stretched hand and grasped it. She was pulled up but then another shadow grabbed her leg and pulled her down, making her fall into a deep fiery pit.

"NOOOO!" She screamed

She opened her eyes and found a red headed man was looking at her and jerked back. "Holy Shit it Lives!" He shouted.

"Shut up Reno, your scaring her!" Another man shouted tackling the red head. This was true Lana was scared half to death, her eyes darted looking for and escape, and settled on the door but then a blond man walked in and she decided to go for the window. She tensed and jumped from the bed. Just as she jumped a pain exploded from her chest and she gasped, hitting the window and falling to the floor. This caused her even more pain. Even if her father took over she would still feel the pain. Someone picked her up, it turned out to be the blond, and he set her on the bed and backed up.

"You should have thought about that carefully." He stated.

"Where…" She asked.

"Your above the bar," A dark brunet lady said, the woman who had been working at the bar.

"Why..."

"You got shot." The black haired man said.

Lana almost growled but the pain stopped her, "Range…" she said softly, Reno and the black headed man glanced at each other. "Must have gotten…Flash to do it…new bullet." Gala growled and Lana stroked her. "Wish he had never came into my life…Stupid experiments…he changed me" Lana realized what she said and stopped. She closed her eyes calling out the 'dragon child' and letting her take over just enough to heal her wounds. She opened her eyes and sat up, someone pushed her back down. "Gala" She said and held out her hand. The wolf jumped down and grabbed it softly pulling Lana to her feet. Lana nearly collapsed but the black hair man caught her.

Yazoo opened his eyes, his wolf had returned, he kicked Loz and got up. They had been living here for a while. Loz had nearly killed himself more than once but had never seceded. Their brother got off lucky it seemed. Fang walked over to Yazoo and sat down. He had interesting news to it seemed.

Lana looked at the people all around her as she ate; she had been plotting revenge on Reno. When no one was looking she grabbed a glass and threw it at him hitting him in the head, he spun around glaring at her. Jonas began to laugh and she smirked, she had just realized that she was 16 now. Suddenly she felt like her head would explode, "Range…Damn you." She gasped falling to the ground, voices yelled at her, one demanding to let him out. She kept shaking her head and gripped it even tighter, as suddenly as they had come they left and she struggled to get up. Jonas helped her and she shivered.

"I need to take a walk." Jonas and Gala started towards the door. "Alone." She said and left not giving them a chance to argue. She had left Gala but she needed to be out of there, she needed to be alone. She started to fast walk as she turned the corner. In the morning she would be back but not before. The sun set an hour later and she found herself in the other side of town. She heard footsteps behind her and began to run, it quickly turned dark but she could see in the dark. She put on an extra burst of speed darting between two buildings, she tripped over a wire extended between them and fell into a door knocking it open, and tumbling head over heels inside.

"Shit!" She swore getting up, "Just what I need, more bruises." She heard a noise behind her and spun around to run but a hand grabbed her shoulder and kept her from fleeing.
