I woke up to find syril's arms curled around me, I kissed his cheek and-
I woke up, again. But my face was red this time, and I was in Jack's house, laying on the couch with Azure by me. "Fuck my dreams.." I muttered, rubbing at my cheeks like if the redness would wipe away. Jack leaned on the couch "Looks like you had a nice dre-" I quickly flick Jack's forehead, he rubbed it afterwards "Heyy!- that really hurts.." I sat up and huffed, I watch Syril sleep in a position that will probably make his back or neck hurt. The reminder of going to Shepard's place struck my heart so quickly it made my whole body ache, Azure somehow knew right away what's the matter. He nudged his snout under my palm and whimpered, Jack stared at Azure then to me "What's wrong with him?" I shrugged and Jack went off to search the fridge. I look at Azure "I know..I have to." he lifted his head and snorted, before pushing his head into my lap.
I noticed he never had a collar, so to take things off my mind. I went outside and went into the woods beside Jack's house, and picked off a soft white petal from a flower, then ripped vines that had a few leaves off from a tree. I walked back inside Jack's house and pats Azure "Hey, buddy. Can I have some of your healing substance." Azure licked my palm and it slid off his tongue like some type of watery jell-o, I then sat and spread it against the petal and vines. I then take off some string from my pants as well as poking a hole through the petal's end. I focused and pushed the string through the small petal and tie it, it took awhile but I did it. I then tie the other end into the vine. I used the rest of Azure's blue substance to make it stick to the vine and have it look natural. I took a blue pen and wrote AzureSpot's name on the white petal on the front, then my phone number on the back. Azure sniffed his new collar and barked, excited to put it on. I tried to put it on his neck but he purposely refused, so I decided to wrap it onto the end of his tail and tied it in a ribbon-like style.
Azure sniffed his new collar and wagged his tail with pride, I smile and pat him, "How about you give me company as I make it back to Shepard's lab?" Azure barked and licked my hand. We went upstairs to and found the bathroom after playing a game of 'Who's in that door.' in which I NEVER want to play again, we went inside and I locked the door, and found a window. I unlatched it and raised it as high as I could and looked down, it was a decent fall. I slowly slip out and let myself dangle so the fall wouldn't impact on me so badly, I fell and landed with a quiet 'oomph' Azure followed and medium-sized wings that had been separated from his body came into place, they were the same gentle sea blue oozing color like on his body. When he glided down to a land water had splitted from his wings but came back afterwards, I was dumbfounded by the wings. But soon theu disappeared, I pat him and we went to the bus stop. Once it came, I walked in and paid him a few dollars, told her my destination. The bus driver glanced at Azure "No pets allowed unless in cages." I huff "You really thing he'll fit in a cage?" She took a double look and sigh "Pay more for animals out of cages." I squint and give her a 10 and she accepted, I walk into the isle and watched people move out the way quickly mostly because of Azure's imtimitating look. I sat in the back and pat Azure's back, he sat.
I sigh and whisper "Well, here we go.."

In Syril's Point Of View--↓
I awaken, rubbing my eyes. I then look around, not seeing Jewel anywhere. "Hey..Jack, where's Jewel?" He looked at me, then shrugged "She went upstairs with Azure to use the bathroom." I rub the back of my neck, then a reminder of Shepard being in the store with us cam in mind. Did he take her? "Jack, did anyone ever want to come and 'see' Jewel?" Jack slowly shook his head, I had told him everything once we had came here before Jewel blacked out. So he would've known, "Maybe she.." Jack's eyes widened "Hurry up, follow me." I had followed Jack upstairs and he sat down in a wheelchair by a desktop computer, he signed in "Have that dude ever been put in Jail yet?" I thought and shrugged, Jack grumbled, then searched up a Police Station before calling his dad, he must've been a cop.
Once his dad answered, Jack had tapped the search bar. "Hey Dad, have you put anyone in Jail this week?"
"Yes, you want their name, don't you?" Jack had chuckled "Yes," he had scooted closer to the computer. "His name is Shepard, he's 32. Came here about..Two days ago." Jack had typed in the name and age "Thanks dad, see you later." His glare was stuck on the computer, but his eyes did soften. "See you, kid." Once Jack had hung up he entered in the name, and Shepard had come on the screen. I huff "Yup, that's the asshole." he nodded and clicked on his profile, then a small camera. It took us to a video of a secret camera placed behind Shepard when the police wasn't there, Shepard had mumbled something in to the cam. "If my creation isn't back at my lab, her loved ones will be on the line.." a grin had been plastered on his face that I so badly wanted to punch. "Loved ones? And plus, if she killed one of them she probably never would have listened to him then." Jack exclaimed, I blushed but quickly hid it, does she..? - I pushed the thought away, it doesn't matter at the moment. "He must've met you and and her parents." Jack stared at the computer, "You don't think she.." I went pale at the thought "She wouldn't have.."So..It's practically like..A sacrifice? Just to keep us out of it?"
Jack nodded. "I - I have to go then!" Jack took my wrist and pulled me back from almost taking off. "I'm coming too, but we can't barge in without a plan. Shepard probably knows we'll be coming." I nod "You're right. We blow it up!" I mumbled, sarcastically. Jack froze "Actually, I think that might be a good idea." I stare, confused.
As we both walk out having our back packs stuffed with lighters and a small bottle of gas and some clothes, Jack tried tracking Jewel but both their scents was covered in oil and gas of passing cars. "How about you try? You've been near her enough to smell over this." He nudged me with a grin, "Shut up." I grumbled. I found Jewel's Vanilla scent lathered with Azure's, we followed the concrete path until it dissappeared into the highway. "Looks like she took a bus." Jack muttered, then we went under the highway.
"We're coming, Jewel..don't worry." I stare down, worried myself.
