Liza had been dabbing at Lioness' head for a cople of hour when she thought she saw a flicker of her eyelid.

"Li?" she asked cautionatly.

Lioness gave a quiet grown before flickering her eyelids open. She raised her hand and brushed it across her forehead.

"What happened? The last thing i remember was Paine and his hand, it hurt so much" A tear slid down her face as Liza pulled her closer to comfort her.

"There there, everythings going to be all right. No ones going to hurt you."

Back at the aquatices and Shark and Hawk had narrowly managed to avoid getting into trouble with King. The hadn't told him the truth as in the end they had lied saying it was a problem that Shark's mum had. Since then Shark had been striding around his room wondering what he should do. He wanted to see if Lioness was all right but he had promised Hawk he wouldn't tell Liza that he knew. In the end Shark decided to go off to Liza's house.

When he arrived he hardly reconised the place. He looked at the over grown trees that covered most of the garden area. Walking up to the front door he went and knocked on the door waiting for someone to open it. After a couple of minutes the door finally openned and to Sharks surprise, Lioness was the one who had openned it.

"Are you all right? As soon as Hawk told me i was worryed sick. Please dont ever scare us like that again"

"Oh .. sorry. I didnt mean to scare anyone, i didnt know that anyone saw what happened." she said tears forming in her eyes again.

"Aww come here" Shark said as he embraced her in a hug. It wasn't normal for Shark to give her a hug.

Lioness broke off the hug "Does Axel know about anything that happened?"

"Not unless Hawk told him while i've been out. Anyways are you coming back soon?"

"I wasn't planning on really ever going back. Hes driven me over the edge the past few weeks and he doesnt respect other peoples familys. I dont want to go back to that im sorry"

"Axel cares about you. He loves you. We all know that, but he just shows it in a different way to everyone else. Just give him another chance and if anything happens i'll make sure he doesnt get away with it"

"Thanks Shark but its not my home anymore. This place is. I wish i could come back but i cant." and with that she shut the front door in Sharks face before he started walking down the path.
