Jeff flipped his friends off. "They are not as mature as you and I," To that the band laughed at them. Rich got up and walked to the edge of the stage, he reached down and pulled Jeff onto the stage. Jeff got up and was attacked by hugs from Lee and Kyle. Rich bent back down and reached a hand out to Yakov, "Nice to meet you, I'm sure Jeff isn't giving you much trouble? We were thinking of chiping in money to by him a leash." Rich smiled.

Yakov give Rich his hand. "Actually, he was pretty useful helping me ditch the ex-girlfriend from hell today...but how much are we talkin' for that leash? I think I've got some spare cash with me."

"Hey, I heard that!" Jeff yelled at Rich and Yakov from underneith the Lee and Kyle pile of love.
Rich pulled Yakov up on stage. "So, you're Jeff's new toy?" He wiggled his eyebrows and winked at Yakov.
Jeff through Lee and Kyle off gently and set his guitar down. "Are we going to have this dress rehersal or not?"

"I wasn't supposed to shoot her," Connor reminded her. "I didn't know it was her until she reverted to human, but... her mate is the one who wounded me earlier." He sighed. He was tired. And then he realized something. "Taking care of her? As in... burying her?"
***
"Let's go," Curtis offered as he stood, holding Katra. "My clothes are on the edge of the forest. We'll dress as best we can and then go find my car. Then I think we ought to go home."

Yakov laughed. "That's probably a good a word for it as any. So, where exactly does one go to not be in the way around here."
~~~~~~
"No, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't burry his mate alive. And are you sure that was her...she darn hell didn't smell her. She smelled...so...I don't even know...it was...wrong."

"My clothes...are awound 'ere somewhere..." She spoke softly trying to hide the weird lisp she was getting. She had folded them up next to a tree near the same stream they were near now. She sniffed the air trying to find her clothes but instead the smell of the rabbit hit her nostrils and she really wanted another rabbit, maybe two or three more.
-------------
Rich shrugged, "Where ever you want." The guys headed back to their respective instruments.
Jeff plugged in his guitar and strung a few cords. "You can sit back here or in the old theater seats, like Rich said, where ever." He tuned his guitar to Lee and Kyle's.

Yakov decided it best not to be this close to so many amps, so he hopped off the stage and sat himself down in one of the chairs.

"Alive?" Connor echoed, confused. "How in the hell did she survive a shot to the forehead?" His breath was coming and going more easily now, allowing him to speak more articulately. "I know it was her," he insisted. "Right before her mate attacked me... I saw her human form."
***
"We will find them," Curtis agreed. "And... perhaps another rabbit to tide you over?" If Katra was in favor of this idea, he would set her down again while he gathered her clothing and found her another snack.

Aurora tried and tried and tried as many clever things as she could think of to get the door open and some form of food out. It was only after she realized that she could take the broom head off and still reattach the dust pan that she actually made it any progress however. Just when she had finally secured a lonely packet of crackers onto the edge of the pan she slipped, hanging herself rather painfully by the ankle and banging her head on the hard floor.
If it hadn't been for the fact that the handcuffs were literally tearing into her skin she might have just stayed there... However the pain kept her from slipping into unconciousness and in a dizzy haze she tried to scramble back up onto the bed. It took her a few tries, as she kept missing her footing and her handholds and her arms gave out on her... but finally she made it up and collapsed in a weary delerium.
For a moment she simply laid there, huffing and puffing and letting the world come off the merri-go-round she was feeling. Then some strange smell caught her attention. It was strong, robust, soothing, charming, tasteful... Aurora had never smelled anything like it before-- but she already knew she would gladly consume 10 gallon buckets of the stuff if given the chance... She sat up and looked for the source of the smell... it was somewhere in the room... Aurora closed her eyes and followed her nose across the bed... and then she realized she was sniffing her ankle.
There was sticky, thick red blood smeared all over it now-- and it smelled heavenly. Aurora stared at it in horrified confusion. She wanted so badly to lick it, and she didn't understand why.

"How the hell am I supposed to know boy?! I just saw her move on her own and she didn't smell too dead!" She looked at Connor and calmed down. "I think we can both agree that some weird s**t's goin' down."

Kat looked around trying to figure out in which direction she might have left her clothes. "Yesh..." She shook her head and kept her lips tight over her teeth. Her stomach wasn't letting her concentrate on finding her clothes, only being hungry.
---------------------------
The band started practicing, they played about twenty songs and narrowed it down to the eleven they were going to perform at their concert the next night.

The band seemed to be finished now. They were actually rediculously amazing...except...there was something. Yakov had been trying to figure it out practically the whole time. If wasn't until the last song that it had finally hit him. "Jeff?" He wandered over to where Jeff was casing his guitar. "Did you guys used to have a keyboard player or something. I mean you guys were amazing really...it just kind of felt like something was missing underneath."

"Couldn't have put it better myself," Connor agreed tiredly. "I don't like being out here feeling so weak. We should go. Can you drive stick?"
***
Katra must have been quite out of it. She was slurring horribly. Curtis set her down gently and began to sniff about for her clothes. He found them, but also found a rabbit not far off. He made chase, leaving the outfit behind for now. Once he'd caught the rodent, he came back, grabbed the clothes, and returned to Katra. He offered her the rabbit and set her clothes down nearby.

Katra had felt her teeth the moment she was sure Curtis was gone. They felt sharper than usual and her K9's were way longer than they had ever been. She quickly covered up her mouth once she saw Curtis coming back. She ripped the rabbit out of his hands in greeting and with a flash of her newly sharpened and lengthened teeth the rabbit was drained and thrown on the ground. She felt so much better with the hot salty blood on her tounge.
"Thanksss," She said and smiled up at Curtis through blood stained teeth and lips.
-------------------------
Jeff thought for a moment, "Archie used to play keyboard with us but he just got married a few months ago and had to leave to California. We were thinking of holding auditions for a new key boardist after a gig tomorrow, which you are totally coming to or I would castrate you." Jeff said good night to the band and slung his guitar over his shoulder and headed out of the theater with his arm around Yakov.

"With my eyes shut and my clutch foot in a cast." Luka smiled at him and sighed. "Ahh, summer. Anyway, you're right. We'd better get going or you the hunger's gonna hit you like a sack'a bricks." She helped him off the ground. "I just ask one favor. Please do not try to ravenously injest the driver."
~~~~~~
"Well duh...like I would miss seeing you dressed like this again. Which reminds me. There's something I've been meaning to do." He shoved Jeff down onto a nearby pile of cardboard boxes, crawled on top of him and kissed him harder than Jeff had kissed him at the mall earlier.
