Barrel's teeth sunk into Brianna's throat and he greedily lapped at the blood. His tail wagged a little. He was pleased at the moment. But when he reverted back to normal, he'd probably be horrified. But it was his fault for not taking the potion, so he would be the one to blame.
Lock was trying not to laugh as he kept an eye on Shock's tail. He too was pleased about the kiss, but at least HIS tail wasn't going nuts. He giggled a little at that. He made a mental note to tease Shock about her tail later. Sally watched the two curiously, barely managing to get up to a kneeling position before swaying and falling over yet again. She let out a frustrated sigh.

Brianna let out a soft cry of pain that was cut short. Her body convulsed weakly, an automatic reaction to loosing so much blood. Now it was her throat that was burning with the werewolf bite, and though her leg still stung, she wasn't thinking about that wound anymore.
Shock's tail slowed in its happy wiggling, probably due to the fact that she was more relaxed then. Maybe if she didn't think about it, it would stop moving. But how could she not think about it? It was attached to her! She couldn't control it at all, and it was frustrating, but she tried not to think about it right then. She also tried to ignore the fact that Lock just laughed at her.

At the moment, Barrel didn't care what happened. As long as he had blood, he was happy. His tail was wagging a little as he paused long enough to lift his head and glance around, then his teeth returned to Brianna's throat.
Lock was about to kiss Shock again, but then suddenly pulled back. "Well, we'd better test a few more potions 'fore Jack shows up. If he's gonna be mad at us anyways, testing a few more on Sally won't hurt." Besides, if they fed the potions to the ragdoll, that meant they wouldn't be used on him.

Brianna tried to whimper, but she had no strength left in her to do so. She heard a small rustling noise nearby, but couldn't lift her head to see what it was. Laura crept into the small space in the trees, staring with huge eyes. Now she KNEW he had been lying about taking the potion. She crouched down and crept forward, wanting to see how extensive Brianna's wounds were. She flinched at the sight of all the blood.
Shock was about to agree, but then she heard something. "Oh, crap! Hide!" she hissed, hiding behind the couch. At that moment, Jack appeared, climbing up the rope on their cage. "LOCK! SHOCK! WHAT DID YOU DO WITH SALLY?!" he demanded, looking furious.

Barrel was happily licking at Brianna's wounds, but then stiffened as he heard something. He growled as he whipped around, glaring around until he finally spotted Laura, and snarled at her, baring his blood-stained teeth as he moved closer to Brianna protectively. HIS prey.
Lock panicked, and bolted. "Didn't do nothin'!" he lied as he raced away to go hide in a different room. Sally stared up at Jack, a sort of confused look on her face. Who were these Lock, Shock, and Sally people? Who was he? She had to admit, he did look sorta cute, in a skeletal way.

Laura knew she would regret what she was about to do, but she dropped into a low crouch, letting a growl escape between her now-bared teeth. But she was having to force it out. She knew it was only this hard because she had her head at the moment, and couldn't go on pure instinct like the other wolf could.
Jack glared after Lock, then knelt down next to Sally. "Are you okay?" he asked kindly, holding out one hand to help her up. There was something different about her. A rather blank look about her, like a small child just learning about stuff.

Barrel's eyes narrowed furiously. How dare the other wolf come closer to his prey? Didn't it realize that the human was his? He gave a low warning growl, ready to fight the other wolf off if he had to.
Sally just sort of stared at Jack's hand, not quite sure what she was supposed to do. She looked up at the skeleton questioningly. She would've asked, but she couldn't figure out how the others were making those sounds with their mouths. It was pretty much like she had just been created.

Laura couldn't believe what she was doing, but she had to do SOMETHING to help Brianna. So she forced out a louder growl, taking a pawstep forward. Her heart was thudding madly in her chest as she tried to think of how the hell she was supposed to fight like this.
Jack sighed. He may be oblivious, but he wasn't THAT oblivious. He gently took Sally's hand and pulled her to her feet. He didn't let go in case she had forgotten how to walk as well.

Barrel's eyes narrowed even further as he snarled in reply, crouching down and then leaping at Laura to try to pin her down to the ground to make it easier for him to attack.
With Jack there, it was a little easier for Sally to stay upright. However, she did sway a little, and nearly fell over, but ended up falling against Jack instead. Lock cautiously peeked out from the other room. He'd go back to hiding if Jack looked his way and appeared furious. Or if he pulled out his Soul Robber.

Laura cringed automatically, bracing herself for an attack instead of trying to land one of her own. She couldn't bring herself to attack him. Her tail went between her legs instinctively, and she whimpered, squeezing her eyes shut.
Jack wrapped one long arm around Sally to hold her up, and a little for the closeness. "Are you okay?" he asked, having to bend his neck a bit to look her in the face. He was worried about her, he couldn't help it.

Barrel missed Laura and then slammed facefirst into the ground with a surprised yelp. He had expected her to try to attack him. And he was still Barrel, which meant he was clumsy at times. He whimpered a little. Now his head hurt. But he remained lying on the ground. Maybe she'd think he was done trying to attack and come closer, which would mean he could attack without getting up. Hmm.
Sally gave Jack a blank stare. She didn't know how to reply. But it looked easy. It looked like all she really had to do was move her mouth and make sounds. Even if Sally had forgotten pretty much everything, it didn't change the fact that she was actually quite bright and a fast learner. After a moment or two, she echoed "O-kay?"

Laura peeked her eyes open, then creeped over to Barrel. She didn't realize he was trying to trick her. She stuck her muzzle out to see if he was okay, leaning close, oblivious to the danger. Blood was still bubbling out of Brianna's throat, but at a much slower pace. Her eyes were half closed, and starting to glaze over. The pain was starting to go away, that was the only thing that she could see positive.
"C'mon, let's get out of here before you get hurt," Jack told her, guiding her slowly towards the exit. He didn't want Sally to get hurt, but he was having to go at a slow pace to make sure she didn't fall and hurt herself by accident.

Barrel's eyes snapped open and he swiped at Laura's muzzle with one paw, almost immediately leaping to his feet. He seemed almost like he was smirking.
Sally mimicked Jack's movements, soon getting the hang of walking. She was still pretty wobbly, but she could get where she needed to if she tried. Lock scowled. He couldn't just let them go that easily! He disappeared for a moment, then reappeared with Barrel's slingshot, loaded it, and fired in Jack's direction.

Laura yelped and jerked her head back, startled. She glanced at him, then ran clumsily towards Brianna, determined to help the girl somehow. But she tripped over her own paws, stumbling and falling on her side.
Jack dodged easily, turning angrily, fixing his eyesockets on Lock. But he couldn't just leave Sally there. She still didn't look very steady at all. In fact, she looked like a little nudge would knock her over without difficulty. He debated what to do. He decided on hurrying towards the exit while keeping his sights on Lock, should the devil decide to attack. Shock was watching too, waiting for something. Then she waved her broom slightly, not enough to be noticed. If it worked, it would trip Sally and make Jack even angrier. But also, it would get them out of the treehouse faster, which mean that her and Lock would have time to think about getting OUT of trouble.

Barrel's growls grew louder. He wasn't about to let the other wolf just take his prey! He raced over to Brianna, biting at her again as he settled down, laying partially on the girl so the other wolf couldn't drag her away.
Lock blinked, then panicked at Jack's glare and ducked, looking away. But then he looked back at the skeleton and ragdoll, to see if Shock was doing anything to them. As expected, Sally tripped over nothing in particular. She had already been unbalanced, but that just made her fall over for seemingly no reason. Even she didn't know.
