Chloe could smell Dean's fear coming off of him. She, herself, knew that if he didn't calm down, then the girl would catch them. "Dean, you have to calm yourself. Your fear can be smelt. I know it sounds crazy, but you must unless you want us all caught. Please. I'm begging you to just calm down and take a silent deep breath. Just relax. Think of something else, or something, but stay focused," she whispered. Chloe glanced ahead of them, seeing Zander coming back. She stopped backing away, and gave him a questioning glance.

Zander came close to her and whispered, "We need to get out of here. It's too late... they're already expecting us and that girl's not backing off. We need to Apparate. We'll meet back at the river where Pearl and the others are. Can you check with Dean to make sure he can do it? I think he should go first, because I think the girl's attracted to his fear."

Chloe was fixing to raise the question of should Dean apparate, being as scared as he was, but she decided against it. She got closer to Dean and leaned close to his ear. "Can you apparate at all," she asked. "If so, are you any good at it?"

Dean took a deep breath and tried to breathe it out slowly. "I can apparate," he said. "I'm pretty good at it. Are we getting out of here? Where to?"

"Yes," said Chloe. "We're going to try to. I guess we should apparate back to the others, get them, then apparate out of here. What do you think Zander?"

"That sounds right," Zander whispered, as the footsteps came closer. "But we have to do it now. Chloe, I want you to go first, and then Dean. I'll go last and meet you there. Are you ready?"

Chloe nodded. "Alright then. See you two there," said Chloe. She gave Dean a reassuring smile and apparated quickly to where the others were waiting.

Pearl caught the emotions stirring in her pack on the wind. The fear was only growing inside of the pup and Zander, she could smell him too. She started forward toward her pack members. This hadn't been such a good idea, but now they were mired in it and had to make it out of it.

Zander took a few deep breaths and thought of Pearl. He wished he had brought her with him, because she could calm him down with just a single touch. Even thinking of her helped, and he felt himself calming. "All right, Dean. You go next," he whispered. "I'll go last. Just make sure you stay calm, OK? If you're not calm, you could apparate wrong."

Dean nodded and took a few deep breaths. Knowing he was about to get out of here helped him to calm down. Everything was going to be fine. He just had to concentrate and apparate out. He cleared all thoughts from his mind and focused just on going back to where the others were. The spot by the river.
Just before he apparated, he suddenly caught a slight hint of the girl, carried on the breeze. Then he apparated, not expecting what would happen next...

Zander didn't hesitate a second. As soon as Dean had apparated, he took a breath and apparated as well. When he got there, he was right next to Chloe, but Dean was no where in sight. Zander looked around frantically. He could see Pearl and Karl and David not too far away, but no Dean. "Where's Dean?" he asked.

Chloe waited patiently and heard a pop next to her. She glanced over and saw Zander standing there. Chloe shrugged. "I don't know," she replied. "I thought he apparated just before you did."

Zander wanted to scream. He knew he should have apparated with the pup, instead of letting him do it on his own. "Dammit!" he hissed under his breath. "He did apparate just before me. I watched him do it. Where the hell did he go?"

"I don't know," replied Chloe. "There's no telling where he went, but I'll see if I can find him. I'll just check around here."

"He must have apparated to the wrong place," Zander said. "We've got to find him. Let's go back to where we were, and see if we can find his scent."

Chloe sighed. "Alright," she said. "Let's go." Chloe headed back towards through the woods again, being as quite as she could. Dean would end up getting into some kind of trouble if they didn't hurry up and find him. He was too afraid.

Zander turned to Pearl and the others. "Please, walk around a little and see if you can find him. But don't go far; I don't want anyone else to get separated." He looked at Pearl worriedly. "Pearl, will you come with me?"

Chloe continued to head through the woods, not really bothering to stop. However, as she walked, she caught the scent of fear. She started to follow it, hoping that when she reached the place the smell was coming from would be Dean.

Zander walked with Pearl, following Chloe as she charged on ahead. He wished she would have waited for him... as pack leader, he felt that he should be in charge. Furthermore, this situation was so dangerous, and they'd already lost a pack member, and they couldn't afford to lose another. But he couldn't risk calling out to her, so he just charged on ahead.

When Dean apparated, he was not prepared for where he would end up. Instead of returning to the spot by the river with the rest of the pack, he found himself standing right in front of a girl. The girl. The one he had watched bathing in the river. He stood there, staring at her, paralyzed with fear.
