Marc's POV:

"Mr. two tone up now!" the words filter into my brain without making sense. More words follow, tumbling over each other. Dam, I have a bad headache, nothing makes sense!

"Raven, his name is Marc for gods sake, and it 'time to get up' a 'please' or something would help as well!"

"Da, same!"

"No not 'Da same' one's rude ones polite!"

"So?"

"Raven, your boyfriend is trying to get you to be f*****g polite!"

"Why?"

"Because it nice?" That's...Corey, it takes a second to place the voice, he sounds slightly exasperated, I don't really know why he still bothers to be fair. Why are they trying to wake me up anyway? Why are they in my room? Wait, we're at Uncles, in his living room? Because... because... Kayli.

Wait.

Since when did Uncle start using straw as a floor?

Straw?

"Arrgh!" I manage. "Plagher!" the straw does not taste good, at all.

"Please, Two-tone please, is please, up please now please!" I hear Gabe burst out laughing, as my eyes open, into the straw. Corey groans in exasperation.

"Raven! That is not what I meant!" I manage to lift my head to see Raven's smug expression. "I said polite, not... deranged!" I think the blond almost sounds annoyed, almost! As if Corey could get annoyed with that strange Russian.

"Da, same!" Corey sighs and turns away, his head shaking slightly, Gabe's still laughing from one corner, of our... our cell? 

"Where the f**k are we?" I mutter out. 

"Sang's house I presume!" Corey replies, half glancing at Gabe, who grins, but doesn't say anything to confirm or deny. I think he knew! B******d!

When he drunk that slightly strange drink that Uncle and Dr. Roberts brought us last night, I think he knew . I watched Gabe take a slurp, his eyes flashed to Uncles who shrugged and tapped him phone. Dr. R handed out drinks to all of us, it was kind of weird tasting, but still good. Raven downed his in one gulp, Corey sipped his, thanked Uncle, then finished off his drink, still trying to explain to Raven how to play the simple card game.

I was way more wary, but after watching Gabe swing it down, I followed. It didn't taste bad, but I think that's what knocked us out, and gave me this god's be dammed headache.

"Are you the reason, my head feels like it's about to explode?" I shoot at Gabe, he winces, his laughter fading.

"Not exactly..." he mutters, "but I guess I ... I knew ... what was going to happen when I drunk that drink..."

"And you let us?" I hiss at him, I'm angry, slightly irrationally so. I feel like punching him, but that's never been my thing, in fact, I hate the feeling. I don't realise that I've gone to punch him until Raven catches my fist.

"Don't hit Artist, wait till we know all!" he states sounding remarkably sane, for Raven. Corey grabs my other arm, dragging me back.

"Marc, just sit down, wait until she comes, hopefully she'll explain everything!" he sends a worried glance in the direction on the bars, "I just hope it's soon!"

It's not.

By the time someone appears, Corey's leaning, half-asleep, against Raven. Gabe's been plaiting parts of the straw together for long enough to have made some kind of weird crown thing.

While I've been trying find someway to get out, unfortunately unsuccessfully. The thing that appears isn't a person, it's a skunk. A black and white skunk. I'm the only one who sees it for several moments, Raven's busy muttering to the sleeping Corey's head and Gabe's still plaiting, now in his second crown.

"Umm, guys..." Raven's the only one who looks up.

"Little black, white, fluffy animal!" he sounds way to over exited. At Raven's words Gabe's head snaps up. He lets out a slightly chocked laugh.

"Sprinkles?" the blond still leaning on his boyfriend, looks at Gabe, as if in confirmation.

"Sprinkles?" both me and Raven look straight at the sleepy man, all we get is a hmm from Corey and a nod from Gabe. "Ok... guys a little more explanation, unless Sprinkles is Gabe's new pet name, you both know that... Skunk!" they both stare at me, Raven looks suspicious.

"Ugg, seriously!" Gabe shoots me a scowl, "I'm not gay, f****r..." he glances at the other two, and quickly adds, "not that there's anything wrong with it, being gay, I'm just saying I'm not... and you shouldn't assume that just because I dress nicely, look f*****g fantastic, and like my clothes to look good that I am it, gay..." he trails off very awkwardly. Core's definitely trying not to laugh, but someone else doesn't manage, to not laugh.

A guy who looks very familiar, yet totally unfamiliar at the same time.

With slightly longer than shoulder length, very blond hair, well-tanned skin. It looks very like Luke, admittedly more muscular, lighter hair and more tanned, but the face is almost identical. Apart from the eyes. This guys eyes are light, happy, bright, nothing like Luke's.

"Gabe man stop digging!" the guy smirks.

"Luke!" Gabe shoots to his feet, as the guy keeps laughing, it is Luke? What happened to his eyes? "Shut up f*****r!" he crosses his arms and looks away, scowling, like the other disappearing team member used to. Luke lets out a final snort then quiets down, looking at all of us, he copies Gabe crossing his arms.

The skunk, Sprinkles apparently, climbs up his leg, ending up sitting on his shoulder, tail round his neck looking totally as though he belongs there. Up till now my focus has been fully on his face, trying to see how his eyes have changed, but as Corey lets out a noise of shock, I send my glance lower. WTF. Is that blood?

The front of Luke's t-shirt is... not clean shall we say, I think it's supposed to be blue? But currently it's, kind of red.

"Why did you leave us in here?" I know I'm rude, but I'm seriously pissed right now, we must have been in here for hours.

"Would you rather BB eat you?" his dark whisky eyes snap to me as he asks me a question in return.

"Enh?" my really intelligent question comes out as an indestructible noise. I see another ghost of a smirk cross his lips, before it vanishes. I think a look of fear flashes in his eyes when he glances at Raven, it's gone so quick, it kind of reminds me of when I first saw Violet, though I guess her name is Sang... I watch Luke shrug it off. He takes a deep breath, goes to say something, then holds a finger up and steps sideways.

He comes back a few moments later, holding out four black bracelet cuff things.

"Round your ankles!", he pushes them though the bars, "clip them up." He watches us waiting, Gabe takes his almost immediately, glances at his 'best friend', or they certainly used to be, only a touch wary, then clips it on his right ankle. A light flashes red, for a moment, before turning green.

"What are they?" Corey takes his cautiously, studying it. Luke looks slightly embarrassed, awkward as he answers.

"Tracking anklets, sort of, they also keep you from leaving the premisses until... until it's deemed safe as it where..." he glances at something we can't see just down the hall, "anyway, currently you have two options, put them on within the next thirty seconds then you can all come out and meet the rest of us, or you can stay there for the next few hours as we finish what's happening at the moment!" I narrow my eyes, his trying to force us into something we don't overly want to do! I turn to the other's who haven't put the things on yet, my mouth opening to tell them not to. Only to see that Raven already has his on and Corey's just clipping the thing up.

"What the f**k are you doing, he just told us they basically make us prisoners!" I watch is disbelief as both Gabe and Core roll their eyes. Raven's the one to answer though.

"Yep, born now, not stay here for time!" Luke snorts, as Corey whispers something in Raven's ear, I assume an explanation of what he should have just said. The Russian just shrugs and mutters something in audible. "Put one in now!" he scowls at me, I know how dangerous a bored Raven gets, having been with him on several stake outs, "Now coffee fruit!" this time both Gabe and Luke don't even try to stop their laughter. Raven takes a step towards me, as both his and Corey's anklets flash green.

I put the thing on.

"Fabulous!" Luke claps his hands like a schoolboy, his grin turns excited, "Sprinkles can you go hit the button please?" the skunk looks at us all, looking way too intelligent for an animal, brushes its head against his cheek and leaps off to one side. A moment later the bars sink into the floor, the skunk hops back, darts past us to Gabe, examines him for a moment, before chirping and racing back to Luke. "Come on you guys, I kind of am really busy, there are several, almost emergency's, with Cupcake on one arm we need all hands-on deck. I guess we could have sent North to fetch you, but one I'm not entirely sure, that he would have kept from killing you, two he wouldn't have been able to get BB to not kill you or several of the dogs..." he keeps talking even as his walking quickly down the corridor, "Well, you coming?" he turns at the end, looking back at us, in a second, the other three have bolted after him, I start to follow at a leisurely pace. I'm not going to run like a child!

Except, when there's a pack of dogs all growling at me, along with a f*****g bear! Yeah, ok.

I run!

I don't make it to the doors, one of the dogs knocks me over, a second later there's a bear standing over me growling.

"Marc Weiland, you are a f*****g idiot!" a much gruffer voice than anyone that I was just with says. "BB, Sang Baby did invite him here! She might get a... little upset if you eat him!" it continues. The bear, BB grunts, I can see why we weren't allowed to wander now, he breathes in my face but backs off. A large hand appears above me. It wait for a moment as I stare at it slightly stupidly. "For god's sake, up!" the voice keeps talking as the hand moves to under my arm, the other missing member's face swims into my vision, as he hauls me to my feet. "Come on, when someone gives you an instruction in this house, it's normally for a very good reason!" His way more talkative than remember! He keeps the firm grip on my arm as he drags me through the doors, my legs are still kind of shaky, so it is a very good thing really as I don't think I can stand right now.

"S, I kind of need your help! Now!" A dark-haired girl races past. Sees us. Skids to a halt, Jess flashes grin at us both, before turning to me, "Nice to see you again Marc, stay out of the way... or make yourself useful!" she turns back to North, "The lion's going into a breach birth, S and L are in there now, I think Corey followed, Raven threw up when he got in there, Gabe decided that he didn't want to risk throwing up in front of S, what with all the blood!" She lets out a strange giggle as Gabe yells from down the hall.

"Jessica Lee, will you shut your mouth?!" Gabe's loud voice comes from down the hall, accompanied by the sounds of someone throwing up, "You Russian f****r, you just threw up on my shoes!" Jess lets out another giggle, "Why the f**k can't you deal with blood, you're a f*****g professional Russian!"

"I don't be with little fluff's normally!" the still gagging man mutters, quietly, for him at least. Jess stops giggling, her face blanks, going serious in a moment.

"North, you're on feeding rounds, Gabe please stop swearing!" I watch North nod in agreement at the instructions from the younger girl, North taking instructions? "so... all the wards need feeding, you might need help," she glances at me again, "maybe take Marc, there's also four..."

"...Seven, in a few minutes!" a girls voice comes from another bay. It's half familiar, Violet. Except that's not her name, her name is... Sang and she's Core's half sister

"What? Why?" Jess looks slightly panicked at her words, "we can't help that many!"

"We help everyone... everything, plus we have four extra volunteers today! To answers your questions, it's not too hard, three orphan lambs from the farm a few miles away! Set up Marc with some feeding bottles, North Star, get started on the feeds, take Gabe, and Raven! Reyven, ty chuvstvuyesh' sebya dostatochno khorosho, chtoby poyti na pomoshch'?" she switches to Russian last minute, talking directly to Raven. She's still not left the room. I can't imagine her with blonde hair. In my mind she's still the strange purple haired girl with a tonne of dogs.

"Da!" is the only reply from the Russian.

"Anyway, as S was saying there are now seven babies that need feeding! So after the three new ones arrive..."

"I said an Aaron was picking them up so..." Viol...Sang calls softly, "Ninja, clamp that! J can you sort them, you basically know what to do, Corey's doing well in here and seems to have very steady hands so if you really need help you can borrow Ninja for a hand, but you do know everything!" Jess blushes slightly.

"Who's Aaron?" someone else lives here? North snorts, Jess lets out a giggle at my confused expression, "is there someone else living here?" I hear Luke mutter something from the other room, then a beautiful sound tinkles from the room.

"You're Aaron!" Jess starts.

"Today anyway!" North adds quickly. Just stare at them. WTF.

"My names Marc! You two are crazy..."

Beeeep Beeeeeeeeeeep!

"Nope, right now you're Aaron and you need to go pick them up!" Jess grips my arm dragging me outside, what is it with people frog marching me today? She stops at the door, for a second, before shoving me outside. I stumble barely managing to stay on my feet.

Somehow, I find myself meeting a very rough farmer, in literal dungarees and a checked shirt.

"Ahhh, ye'b Aaron then?" I send a glace back to Jess nodding furiously at me from the door.

"Errr, yes?" I comes out slightly as a question, but the man doesn't seem to care, he doesn't say another word, just heads to the back of his truck, a moment later I have a cardboard box in my arms. The truck turns and heads out of the gates. Leaving me with the box.

"What the f**k am I supposed to do with this?" I stare at the box.

"Baaaaaa" I almost drop the box in surprise.

"Holy s**t it's alive!"

"We try not to swear around the kids! Or swear period, Sang tends to freak!" Jess mutters as she swoops in taking the box from me.

"Kids?" I feel like I'm asking a hell of a lot of questions right now

"Technically these are lambs, very weak lambs. You have to feed them..." she flashes me another grin, "... come on, time is of the essence!"

Less than five minutes after being told my name was apparently temporarily Aaron we are back inside. I'm sitting in straw, again, with a bottle in each hand, Jess is laughing as she explains what I have to do.

This day is officially totally weird!

Please! Tell me what you think it will are this super long drive (as a passenger) a hundred times more interesting!!!!!
