Romulus Alkaev
With ease, the golden liger had followed his brothers to the location with the lava while remaining unnoticed. Never did he expect to witness the horrors he did while within that place. Romulus had been out of sight a few feet away, hiding behind some obsidian that solidified erect. Bright emerald eyes peeked around the obsidian to watch his brothers. Suddenly everything went by so fast, and curiosity killed the cat. The blood curdling screams that came from Adam as he burned alive made Romulus tremble uncontrollably and his ears slap flat against his head as if trying to muffle it, but with no success. Without his brother's wailing, Rom would have to listen to Adam's skin sizzle and pop, for that he was grateful. Adam's screams echoed in his head and Romulus' eyes grew wide in horror. He slowly looked down at the black beneath his paws. Rom wanted so badly to scream, to cry out, it was too much. It took everything he had within himself not to scream with his dying brother. He looked back and wrinkled his nose in disgust before placing a paw to his face. The stench of burning fur and flesh as well as the way Adam's body contorted as he burned made the young demonic want to throw up, but Remus beat him to it.
Adam had now been completely submerged. Gone. Dead. This was death, the first death Romulus had ever witnessed and it was forever imprinted in his mind. Remus' wails snapped him out of it, but they had caught the attention of another. Romulus quickly ducked behind the obsidian as Aidan came running into the scene. He used the time she kept yelling to try and compose himself. Deep breaths. Romulus stood up straight and stumbled a bit, he cursed his shaking legs. Another voice caught his attention, Severus. Fuck. He didn't need this right now, and their yelling wasn't helping the situation.
He grunted and collected himself before climbing up the tall obsidian rock. Cold eyes stared down at them, but he took a moment before speaking. "Remus." His voice was stern and eyes narrowed, locked onto his brother. The others would not stop yelling, and Rom took a deep breath."ENOUGH!" He roared, this time looking to and from each of them with a glare. "Your yelling is not helping anyone. Look around, do you want to meet the same fate?" Indeed the terrain was harsh and unforgiving. There was no telling where it would break next, especially with all the extra weight added. "First, lets get him out of here." He motioned toward Remus before climbing down the face of the rock he was standing on. Although he sounded and looked composed, Romulus still trembled on the inside. He was just as terrified as everyone else. "I don't want to hear ANY objections." He shot stern looks to both his smaller brother and Aidan. "Aidan, I need you." He looked her dead in the eyes, they needn't quarrel. Romulus lined up with Remus' side and crouched to push against him just enough to help him stand, but he needed Aidan on the other side. "Severus, lead and find us a safe way out of here." Once the other two were ready, he helped Remus to his paws. All he wanted to do was leave this damned place behind. "Let's go."

PAROX, HAGAN, CASPER
[/i] Hagan called out to his half brother. "What happened?" He turned to Parox, and it was clear Parox was just as curious as him. Isaer is sleeping, for the record.[/ul][/blockquote]

"Gone?" The boy froze up there, sitting down and gazing past his peer to look in the direction his brother had died. There was nothing left but the odd flame, and for Remus the whole world seemed to slow down. He could not understand anything Aidan, or his brother Severus said, nor could he really see them. Eyes were wide, staring, body trembling in waves and the Demonic Liger's mind was blank.
Then his brother Romulus appeared on the scene. And quietly, once he was close enough, Remus buried his head in dearest siblings shoulder, and stood up obediently. He felt numb, and would cooperate with whatever happened unless he needed to physically defend himself.

I saw dat Kah. /shot
Aidan whirled around at Romulus' presence and her hackles rose instantly. "How dare you come here and order me like you have the right!" She hissed out, looming above Romulus with a darkness about her that had not once been there before. "Help yourself!" And when she turned to walk off, she paused at the sight of others, her lips curled further, then she sighed and whirled back around and walked to Remus, grasping his scruff like a cub and pulling him up off the ground, the rage giving her strength. Aidan flicked her tail roughly for them all to follow, growling out 'come' around the mouthfulnof fur. She pulled ahead of them all, and then dropped Remus roughly on the ground. Her rage however made her fearless in this case, and if Remus had tried to fight her she would have done whatever necessary to defend herself. And in this fearless state she glared at any that dared speak out against her before her maw opened and she called out two names. "Raegan! Adelaide!" It was a sharp roar that was filled with disapproval, fury, and something else that couldn't quite be named as the roar pierced the night sky. She was too angry to address her father as dad. This was what had come from his choice. She was beyond upset. A cub had lost his life, another nearly lost his paw and was quite crazed right now, and Romulus was trying to order her around? No thanks. She was furious. However her eyes flicked to Remus and then she looked at Paris or Hagan, her tone - while still angered, softened considerably. "One of you please fetch a healer for the boy." She commented as a second thought.
I did gain permission to pp Remus :3

PAROX, HAGAN
[/i] He tilted his head and Parox sighed, rolling his eyes. "Clearly something bad. Let's just wait and see.."[/ul][/blockquote]

Naturally, Remus went limp as Aidan carried him all the way back to the dens. Grunting only as she dropped him unpleasantly. Immediately he called for his brother, holding his head too low to really be able to identify everyone around him. Remus just wanted the comfort and familiarity of his sibling right now.

Severus nodded and followed his half sister. He may not have shown it, but Shika held admiration for Romulus. He sighed before wondering how the dominants, and his parents would react to such things. Would Remus... have done such a thing.. on purpose? His green gaze were unpredictable, who knew what the boy was thinking?

Adelaide has been in yet another fitful slumber, fraught with worry. At some points, she had second thoughts about being Raegan's mate. Her cubs kept her grounded.... Except for one. She was having a nightmare about him currently. Luckily, Adelaide was always near silent in her sleep, otherwise she would have been screaming. She wrapped her tail around her cubs, but something did not feel right. It only registered when she became conscious a few moments before Aidan roared her name. She began to feel sick upon realizing that she had four cubs missing. How could she let this happen? Where were they. She shoved her head against Raegan and growled shaking with worry. "We need to wake the clan," she stated shakily. Then she heard her name. And it was Aidan's vice. Her ears flattened and she gazed toward the moonlit opening of the den. What could it be. She sounded angry, but she was not into playing nice with her jealous step children right now. Her hackles raised as she stormed out of the den, eyes flitting back to her cubs, knowing that she had likely roused them. She positioned herself so that she could prevent others from leaving.
"What in hell--?!" She was about to demand what she though was so important to rouse her. She had cubs to find and others that would need watched. She saw the missing children... Well, three of them. Remus's burnt paw... He must have gone to the Grotto. Her eyes became slits. She wanted to scream and cry, but she could do none of that. He did not understand, he had no control. What could she do? But Severus and Romulus were sane enough to know better. "Get in the den." She shot a glare at each cub and use a large white paw to shove each toward the den. She was not in the mood, nor able to deal with them now, not in front of the pride. She then drew Remus under her, protective of her unstable, handicapped child. "Where is Adam?" While she kept her body stead, her tail and whiskers quivered with emotion she was holding back. Her dark orange ears were flat on her skull. She shot a look at anyone else who gathered at the dens. She did not want an audience to hash this out. "Where is Adam?!" she roared.
Alfwin lurks in the bushes, half awake.
Rachel is afraid and in the den because mommy is obviously VERY pissed.

Adalynn
She awoke when the mother began throwing out her demand. A pale gaze blinking away the drowsiness as the smaller 'ess rose to a hunched sit. Lynn trailed her gaze from face to face, finally standing and walking to stand next to the angered tigress. Nostrils flared to a sudden intake of a sharp smokey scent. "Remus, brother, what happened?" Her voice, though still heavy with sleep, lay concerned as she stared hard at the severe burn that overtook his paw.

(-casually pokes pani-)
Remus had no focus on the world around him. Shock had settled in and the boy was limp towards most interactions. Even as his mother arrived and pulled him closer the demonic liger cub tumbled onto his side, staggering around with a quiet whimper until he was between her forelegs. His poor dear mother... Yet he held little consideration for her whilst his mind was such a mess, leaning against her for some much needed comfort and reassurance.
Waves of trembling became a constant shaking once again, and after a little moment, his dirty golds looked up to his much beloved mother, and he started to cry again.

Severus dipped his head and looked back to Adalynn. "Sister, I don't believe Remus needs more pressure. Let mother talk to him." he said, flicking his tail, his eyes full of concern before entering the den, looking back to Romulus. "What do you think is going to happen, brother?"

[/style][/td] [td][atrb=width,500,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=valign,top][bg=3D0002] » TOBERON & BACARDI Screams and urgent voices had attracted the attention of two other rather curious Jaaku members.
Toberon came running, but halted immediately when he saw who had assembled. Many of them he had seen around before and acknowledged, but he didn't really know them. Still, the male was rather interested, but he hung back so he wouldn't be in the way. As he stood there with big eyes, he tilted his head and tried to make something of the scene before him.
Bacardi made her own approach, not really minding the others but slightly more interested in the initial commotion. She had been in camp when the others came to the dens, and now she was out in the clearing. She sat a ways away from Parox and Hagan, the tip of her tail twitching in excitement. Missing cubs? Oho.. This lot was even worse than her and her denmates. Mischievous eyes shone in the dim light as Bacardi eagerly waited to see how the situation would pan out.

Romulus Alkaev & Raegan Alkaev
Romulus snarled at Aidan when she picked up his distressed brother and made off with him, reckless drama queen. He bounded after her and tried to keep relatively close to her and Romulus, that is until his mother made an appearance and shoved him toward the den with Severus. Whatever distance she managed to move him, he did not budge from his new spot and instead stood next to Severus and his half siblings. Without removing his gaze from the scene he responded to his half brother, "An accident." and then to Severus, "I don't know." Too many questions, ones that would be answered very soon. Rom's tail lashed back and forth and his eyes narrowed, briefly looking over every newcomer that came to join the ever growing audience.
Raegan burst out of the den and stood by his clearly distressed mate. Emeralds looked around the scene, Remus' burnt paw, Adam missing, Severus and Romulus, Aidan. Slowly he was putting the pieces together but he needed more information so he looked to Aidan, "What happened?" His muscles were tense, Raegan had an idea, but desperately hoped he was wrong.

HAGAN, PAROX, FARRAH, TEAR, ARETA, ISAER
[/i] She said, and then began to press again her children to encourage they back away and find something else to occupy their time and entertainment. Parox sat down beside Bacardi and turned in time to see Areta and Tear herding the others away. He couldn't help but to roll his eyes, and silently dared them to come his and Bacardi's way. Parox wouldn't budge an inch, not for Areta, Tear, or Adelaide. Not even Raegan. Kegan was his father, and his mother was lord-knows-where. He also doubted that Bacardi was in any rush to miss this spectacle. Inside of the den, Isaer stirred and blinked open his eyes. Drama with the family? What had happened? He stood up with a cubbish yawn and wobbled several inches behind his mothers back paws. "What's happenin' mum?" He asked tiredly, having not heard any conversation before he had woken up.[/ul][/blockquote]

Aidan Nixen
When Adelaide came rushing out and snatched Remus from near her, she curled her lips back in a responding frightening snarl, and burst out when Adelaide screamed for Adam. "Dead! Adam is dead, Adelaide." Others approached, Hagan and Parox - neither moved to do as she asked, and her hackles rose as her father appeared, but at first she paid them no mind as she whirled on everyone else. "You stand here and see this cub with a burnt paw, and yet none of you move to do something about it? Find a healer! NOW! I don't care if you have to go to Meurtrier for one, but there are plenty of you here and one of you better go do so." She lashed out. Even if Tear and Are ta began to heard them away, they and whoever went with them would have heard this. She had no right to really, she wasn't a higher power, but she wouldn't stand to see no one helping this cub no matter how she loathed the family, then she looked back to her father, to Adelaide, her gaze icy cold, blazing with anger underneath it all.
"Adam and Remus were off wandering," She glared at Adelaide in particular as she said this, "And went to the Grotto. Where they stepped upon wasn't strong enough at all to hold them, and I would assume Remus burnt his paw when it cracked, and went crazy because of it." Her cold gaze turned to Raegan as for now she flat out ignored Adelaide. "When I arrived, because of the screaming, he was on top of Adam, and Adam was screaming for him to get off. Remus was holding him by the scruff when Adam fell into another crack that appeared, and only when Adam's body touched the lava did Remus let go, and seconds later, Adam lit up with flames." She laid it out exactly like it was.
"Whether or not Remus was distressed, he killed Adam. Accident or not." That last part was a directed glance at Romulus. She had heard his comment towards Hagan.
Nixon approached his sister silently and sat beside her without a word. Anything he would have asked has been answered by Aidan. [/blockquote]
