Nadine still kept still to where she was standing at as soon as Del'aki cool himself down. The poor bear was confused. It was time that this bear knew more about this so called human race thing. "Look, I know it sounded crazy, but it's true. And yes, Kenai was a human, but you see the thing is...." Nadine took a deep sigh. "I was a human too." She confesses. So the black and purple bear decided to explain more about what happened, but leave out some of the parts that would had too serious for Del'aki to understand.
"Me and Kenai are the only humans here on earth that have been change into bears by the Great Spirits. Well...Kenai got change into a bear first before I did, I got change into a bear myself two years later after his transformation. But...it's a long story."
"Just because we were once humans, it doesn't mean we're going to hurt you. Kenai and I are not like that. We're more kindful and helpful than you think. We would never let another animal die like that. We're not savages." She said.
That's when Nadine heard steps coming near their cave too. "Hi Nadine!!" A young female voice called. It was Kimba, Nadine's adopted little sister bear. The yellow cub playfully pounces on the black and purple bear and gave her a hug. "Long time no see huh?" She said hugging Kimba. Carefully she gently set her down. "Oh, this is Del'aki. Del'aki meet Kimba. She's uhhh.....my new little sister. Long story short." Said Nadine.
Kimba curiously look at Del'aki. "So you're the bear Kenai was telling me and Denahi about. That must had been quite a storm you guys went through last night." Kimba says.

Startled by Nadines confession del'aki replied,
"You, a human!.......Next thing you'll be telling me is that your "little sister" Kimba was changed into a bear from a cat, and that the young bear-cub, who met us last night, was once a squirrel, that cub was with you, right?........ Also this Denahi who's that?"
Del'akis voice slowly shifted into a more friendly and trusting voice.
"If what you say is true, then I believe I owe you an apology." Lowering his head before Nadine, Kimba and the young cubs, he continued, "I was being unreasonable, and a plain jerk. I'm sorry for threatening both you, Nadine, and you, Kid. I'm just not used to confronting other bears, it's been nearly 4 years since I last talked to someone, and experience has thought me, well atleast I thought it had thought me, that bears cannot be trusted, neither can humans."
Del'akis voice shifts back into calm but hesitating tone. "But trust is not earned from one day to another."

Nadine glares at Del'aki angerily once the bear snaps at her and Kimba. Kimba who was frightened by Del'aki's reaction, hide behind her big sis. But once the bear was clam, Nadine was gonna say something until Kimba was the first to speak up. "It's okay. Not everyone can trust new people. Oh...and I'm not a cat or a squirrel, I'm a natural born cub." She said.
"Anyway..." Nadine says cutting up into their talk. She carefully push Kimba away so she can talk with Del'aki for a bit. "I'll accept your apology Del'aki. I understand what you mean. But...you're the very first bear I've met who doesn't trust his own kind. I mean....4 years is a long time." She said.

OOC: Eddi, you still with us? BIC: *sigh* "4 years is indeed a long time. But lets just say that something horrible happened, 4 years ago, that made me forever change my view of bears in general" Del'akis voice suddenly changed into a more heartbreaking tone "I do not wish to get into details about that, so could we just push that aside? please!" Looking upon his wounded paw, Del'aki noticed that the swelling had increased in size, and the infection gotten worse. Somewhat worried he continued, "Nadine, last night when I overheard you talking about something about a human village, what did you mean by that? The thing is......As much as I'd like to not admit it, I know that this infection will get alot worse, if not treated in time, so I was wondering if you knew some of your kind, who could perhaps treat the infection?!........ I personally don't like the idea, but I think it is time for me to give you a chance to help, rather than me constantly being on my defensives complicating your attempts to help!"

OOC: Looks like he's offline for the moment. Don't worry he'll catch up with us later.
"Well...you see, Kenai thought it was a good idea to take you to his old human village so we can help heal your paw faster, but I didn't think it was good idea. But Kenai was just trying to help you. Since his brother is here, maybe it's a good plan to take you there. Don't worry, the humans over there at his village know me and Kenai well, so they won't harm another bear who steps into that village. Would you like to come with us?" Said Nadine.

OOC: Good Good!
BIC: Thinking for a minute over Nadines question, Del'aki replies "If you and your mate believe these "Humans" can help me, then I will of coarse give you and your mate a chance to let the humans see what they can do."......"But do note, that I'm not all that sure about this, I mean, I've never actually been up close to a human or for that matter a hunter"

"Don't worry you'll be fine. As long as you stay with me and our group, you won't have to worry about a thing." Nadine said. Just then Denahi and Kenai caught up with Kimba and the group. "Hey guys!!" Kimba said waving hello to them. "Kimba, when will you ever learn to stay still when I tell you so?" Said Denahi, not being too happy losing track of the little cub all the time. Then he looks at Del'aki. "Whose this?"
"That Denahi...is Del'aki. We met him last night in the rain storm." Said Kenai, introudicing the bear to his human brother. "Nice meeting you." Denahi said with a warm welcome greet.

Somewhat cautious del'aki replied, "Hi, nice to meet you too, I guess".
looking at Kenai and Nadine he continues, "So how long is there to this "Village"? and where are we? Unfortunately I got lost in the storm yesterday", del'aki shyly says

"We'll take you there. The village isn't that far from here. Maybe perhaps a couple of miles....but it will be a good thing for us to stay together." Said Kenai. "My brother and I know our way back and fourth here like the back of our paws....or hands or....whatever. You get the idea." Said Denahi.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go!!" Kimba said exictedly and was the first to lead, but Nadine quickly stop her. "Oh no you don't. You're not getting away that fast from us." She said. "But I wanna lead...." Kimba said sadly. "Nope! Not until you're older. You know better than that." Nadine said to her sister bear.
"Awwww...you never let me have any fun." Kimba whine. Denahi groans and rolls his eyes at the little cub's remark. "I wouldn't call getting away all the time 'fun' Kimba." He said. "Come on, I'll be the one leading." Replied Kenai.

Quiet Del'aki begins to limp along, doing his best to keep up with the bears. As they move along, the pain slowly returns to Del'akis paw. "Hey, Hey" Del'aki speaks up, "Could you perhaps slow down a bit, please, I'm having trouble keeping up."

"Do you need help? I can help carry you." Nadine said, offering help to poor Del'aki.

OOC: last post for tonight, so good night Getting kinda "Early" over here! BIC: "No, I'm fine....well sort of....I just need to be able to keep up with you guys..." Diverting his focus to Nadine and Kenai he continues, "Tell me, Nadine and Kenai, why did the Great Spirits change you into bears? What could you possibly have done so bad, that they would use such a dramatic way of punishing you? and how does it feel.. I mean, going from man to bear?"

OOC: Ok...goodnight ^^
BIC: Nadine and Kenai stare at each other when Del'aki ask what made the spirits change them into bears. Both of them mutter and stammer. "Uhhh....well...you see....we....ummmm...." They both said stammering. "Uhhh, it's best we don't talk about it. We'll discuss it later when we get to the village." Denahi says, cutting in for a bit. Kenai quietly walks away, along with his brother. "Thanks bro." Kenai whispers to his elder brother. "Don't mention it." Denahi replies whispering back.
"Yeah...anyway. Let's get going...before your paw gets worse." Nadine says feeling worry if Del'aki was hearing what Kenai and Denahi were whispering about, but it was time for them to get going before it was too late for them.

OOC: Okay I lied....... *slaps myself*! This will be my last message for tonight (This morning) BIC: "Fine if you don't want to talk about it then we'll just change subject".... A strange stillness came upon the party, even Kimba the jumpy little cub didn't say a thing... They had been travelling for a few miles now, in the distance del'aki could see smoke arising, from what looked as a camp or a village. Del'akis paw had gotten worse, blisters had appeared on it's heel! A scent of food penerated the air. Realising he hadn't eaten for the last many hours, Delaki's stummy began to rumble. But his focus was on getting to the village with his paw as intact as possible, so he hardly noticed that he was hungry. "Is that your village?" Del'aki said to Kenai, Nadine and Denahi!

Kimba sniff the air. Not only Del'aki had notice, but Kimba also smell the sweet sound of food. "Hey!! We're here!!" Kimba said getting more excited than ever!! Then without warning, the yellow cub quicky rush off.
Just when she was almost close to getting to the vilage, she stops in her tracks listening to what sounded like a wolf sound. Denahi and the bears followed. "Kimba, don't do that!! You could had...." Nadine says, but Kimba shushes her. "Shhhhhhhh....I hear something." Kimba whispers. "Kimba, this isn't the time to play tricks!" Nadine hissed angerily. "Quiet!!" Kimba shouts. Then there came another howling voice again. Kimba begin to worry. "It's just wolves. Come on..." Nadine says as she continue to focus back to what they were suppose to. "But..."
"No buts Kimba. We'll talk about this later. Now come on!!" Nadine orders. "Fine!!" Kimba mutters angerily and quietly follows Denahi, Del'aki, Kenai and Nadine. It wasn't long until they got there. "Well here we are. Kenai's old human village." Nadine says.
