Antosha looked at him, feeling something surface. Love. A second passed and he was by Brynn's side, wrapping his arms around the boy's waist. This was a time that he felt completely helpless, the kind were he looked more like a child then a man. His eyes pleaded for help, their darkness shimmered and swirled, wanting so desperately for someone to save him. The words caught in his throat, wanting so badly to escape. No sound came out.

Brynn gasped as he felt Anto pull him into a hug. However he soon settled into the position wrapping him own arms around Anto. He looked up to see how much Anto really needed help. Brynn smiled gently. "Anto...uhm...just know that I'm here for anything you need." He said quietly. "Friendship, comfort, joy..." Brynn looked up at him. "Love...anything." He said quietly a bit embarrassed seeing as Diane was still here.

His own eyes filled with hot tears, fresh, wanting to cry. Biting it back. Silence filled him as he searched for something to say. Minutes passed. Antosha still had nothing to say, but it was too late to respond now. He rested his head on Brynn's shoulder, just trying to find a way to tell him he understood. There is something you should know.. the words were dark with grief, a crushing feeling. With a saddened expression he shared with Brynn the true meaning of love, showing him what Mayu and Melville had felt. Letting tiny flickers travel back to Diane. Their love was a cure to him somehow, pulling him away from the darkness. Maybe because it was a medicine of it's own.

She was just about to turn away when she froze on the spot, Brynn's words ringing through her head. 'Love'... they were a couple now? Her mind raced, seeing no other explanation. It had been one thing to kiss when Brynn and Antosha had been dancing around each other, but now... the cold truth was hitting her. Antosha had cheated on Brynn in that moment of weakness.
She looked down, feeling dirty, cheap and used, trying to convince herself that it had been a genuine mistake, a moment of weakness. No one could beat that feeling - and to convince herself otherwise would be facing a truth she couldn't bare. "I-I think I'll go now..." she said slowly, her voice shaking a little, made all the worse from the tingling sensation of love that Antosha was sending out.

Brynn pulled away for a second notcing Diane leaving. "Oh...ok De I guess we'll see you later." He said quietly as he could feel Anto's head on his shoulder. He moved his hand to the back of Anto's head gently and an arm around him in a strange hug more like cradling. He could feel the bit of love sent to his head. It was strong. Was that what Brynn gave to Anto? Something so strong? He didn't believe he had the power to give something like that. "Do I...Do I give that to you?" He said afraid looking at Anto for a second.

Antosha nodded his head slowly, knowing it was the truth. Mel and Mayu's love is what he felt towards Brynn. Sometimes it was easier to say it was someone else's love then admit it as your own. He could feel Brynn's fear, then pulled out of his head, not realizing he was still there.

She took one last look at the two of them, suddenly feeling disgust as she tried to put a smile on it; for Brynn's sake. "See ya around..." she said, turning on her heel and running off. Love? How could he even say that? It was like blasphemy to the perfection that she had felt for him to be able to call it his own. He couldn't love him, not after what he had done.... Her eyes felt dry as she vanished from view.

Brynn looked down. "I'm not afraid." He said. "I'm just...I don't know what I'm just." He said quietly. "All...all I know is that I love you, and I only want you to be happy so..." Brynn looked at him. "What do I need to do to make you happy?" He asked him quietly. "I'll do anything...anything at all." Brynn said feeling tears pricking at the corners of his eyes for the first time. Anything, if meant getting rid of the blank slate that was Anto's expression, anything to get rid of the hurt.

I'm sorry, Diane. I do not want to claim it as my own, but it is close enough... his words jumped after her, fading as her figure walked away. Antosha sighed, pulling away. He couldn't do it now, feeling shamed at trying to say their love was something of his. Feeling himself sink to the ground, feeling sick at tainting their memory in such a way. Yet nothing showed on his face, nothing remained of the old Anto. Only a shell with too much love, too much confusion. Then he snarled, feeling the beast start to sneak up. Antosha pushed back, forcing it back down.

Anto sunk to the sand and Brynn followed hearing a low noise from him. "Anto...Anto are you ok?" He asked quietly a hand on his back a bit worried if something happened. He didn't want to leave but he got a feeling maybe Anto wanted him too. Brynn stared at him in waiting. "Say something...please."

Antosha blinked, feeling himself about to cracked. "Get..away.." he said slowly, pushing Brynn away. His back crackled, ripping at the seams. This time he couldn't bring it back, not in time for it to keep it's head down. In mere seconds, barely enough time to blink, a giant black panther took Antosha's place. It snarled at Brynn, threatening to leap. It's eyes flashed at Brynn, daring the boy to move even an inch. "No!" the scream came from within, pulling the cat back inside Antosha's body. Leaving him weak and gasping for his breath back.

He was hurt. Anto telling him to get away. However he soon knew why. The transformation shocked him into falling back on his behind helpless. The panther growled at him, Brynn was scared until it disappeared like that. Brynn stared at Anto unsure what too say still breathing hard from sheer adrenaline. "Anto...what..." He couldn't move. Should he leave? Would that make him look like a jerk? Instead he stayed there just staring straight ahead unsure what to think.

Antosha looked at him, shaking with fear. "I can't.. I can't hurt you." his words were unsteady, feeling strange without his ice. Then it happened again, the panther erupted, a snarling beast. It leapt at Brynn, it's face inches from the boy's before dissappearing. Antosha remained, sobbing hard. "I got it.. Under now.." he was sobbing, pulling himself off Brynn. The beast remaining inside him. Hidden under lock and key.

Brynn was pinned once more feeling the weight of the animal and almost as soon as it came it left too. Anto was there. Brynn's heart was still beating fast as he kept his eyes glued to Anto. "How did...How did that happen?" He asked slowly. He didn't quite understand why Anto turned into a panther in fact it made absolutely no sense to him.

Antosha rolled over Brynn slowly, trying to control himself before speaking. Nothing came out. He was silent once more. Mathew brought this out.. he explained slowly, using only his mind to speak. It was too hard for him to udder a sound now, too hard to force anything out. His throat closed, choking on words unsaid.
