outside....

[Darktouch]

Jason crossed his arms, looking from Akiko to Matt. He stood by his friend silently. Brown eyes switched to the leopard attacking Jon. It had loosened its grip on him and was now clawing the vines off.
"I think we might wanna split," he muttered to Matt.

Jon breathed hard as he scooted away from the black cat. He took a few things from his bag and made Dean drink one when no one was looking. Turning bback toward the leopard, he was alarmed to see her turn and snarl at the other people.

The cat's tail flicked as she crouchef. Suddenly she sprang at Matt and Jason.

Jason tried to jump out of the way but was pinned to the ground.

[alana]

matt, now loose picked up the bat once more and began hitting the leopard "get, off, of , him" he shouted with every hit

[JOS]

Akiko looked at the bat and one of the vines stopped it from hitting the cat once more. The vines moved fast to close the jaw of the cat. Once it had it moved to the paws to once more stop it for a little time.

[Darktouch]

The leopard yowled furiously, turning her wrath upon Matt. Claws and fangs sank into his legs, jaws squeezing the bone.

Jason scrambled to hid feet.
"Hey!" he yelled, swinging the bat at the cat.

"Stop!" Jon yelled as the bat hit the black leopard across the left side of her head.
As if in slow motion, he watched in horror as the giant cat went down. He leapt forward.

The cat struggled to her feet. Pain filled her eyes though she still hissed warningly at Jon as he came near. Snarling weakly, she stumbled off toward the woods. She could hear nothing in her left ear.

[alana]

matt struggeled in pain on the floor, cluching at his legs, "i cant feel my legs, i cant feel my legs!" he yelled as blood began to form a puddle around him

[JOS]

"GOOD!" Akiko growled at him "I should kill you after what you just did!" Her sharp brown eyes then truned to Jason as the vains that had held matt now went to him. "Hope you die in the pit of hell" She hissed lowly

[alana]

he lay back as his eyes rolled back into his head and he fell unconcious

[Darktouch]

Grunting, Jason lifted his friend from the ground. He held onto him tight as he ran for the hospital.

Jon tore his eyes away from the disappearing cat and went to Dean.
"Feel better?" he asked. "You know magic, right?" he lowered his voice. "That was a strengthening potion. Tell anyone, and I'll kill you."
Standing, he put his hands in his pockets.
"What happened?" he looked to Akiko.

[alana]

dean sighed at jons warning as he stood up, his wounds were healing before his eyes, he couldnt believe it it almost didnt feel real to him

[JOS]

"They got into a fight" She said softly and looked at him "Jhon please tell me that that cat was just a cat"

[alana]

dean stood up and leaned on the wall to prop himself up,

[Darktouch]

"I wish I could, but I can't," Jon said, crossing his arms.
I cannot tell you who it was for your, my, and their protection, he spoke into her mind. Try not to question or look into it. I learned not to about a week ago... He was staring at the trees where hte leopard had gone as if he really wasn't speaking to her. In this way, he figured Dean wouldn't know he really was, nor what they were talking about.

[JOS]

Akiko sighed "All the more reson" She said softly and nodded "thanks"

[Darktouch]

Jon nodded and walked away, hands in his pockets.
