Shawna placed a sleeping Kara in a tree hollow and went to scrounge the town for food, something she had done often with no problems. After all, Kara was asleep for the night and she would only be gone an hour or so.

Cassandra had a lot of tension to burn off after the last 2 days of worry over Kaden, and nothing did that for her like shifting.
Running in the forest along the trails she had known in her childhood, looking up at the bright, beautiful, shining, moon, she gave a roar of pure joy...cut short when she heard the frightened wail of a child!

Kara woke to a strange noise and reached for her sister. Not seeing her sent her into wails of terror. Toddling out of the tree onto the trail she called out, in her tiny baby voice, "Sha-sha!"

Shifting to her human form with a quickness at seeing the frightened toddler Cassandra just stared in amazement for a long moment. "I heard once they grew under cabbage leaves, but never anything about a hollow tree!" Cassandra muttered outloud. Walking over to the now nearly hysterical child Cassandra began to talk softly to her. "Shush little one...Shhhhh...it's going to be alright..I've no idea who left you here like this, but they should be horsewhipped! Come...c'mon..come to Cassandra and let me take you back to the castle...we'll sort everything out there."
Cassandra gave a silent thanks to the gods that the child calmed enough for her to pick her up. "I suppose if I shifted again and tried to carry you back in my mouth you'd.....well, of course you would..very well then...it's trudging through the forest we go!"

Kara didn't know who the lady was, but something about her voice calmed her. Something about her seemed familiar almost. As the lady picked her up she snuggled against her and went back to sleep.

Kara hadn't had a very good night of foraging, but she did manage to come up with some milk for Kara and some chips and a candy bar for herself. Not very nourishing, but as a shifter she could always shift and feed. Kara was human, which complicated things.
Returning to the tree hollow she reached in for her sister to take her back to the cave they'd been living in.
"She's not here!" Shawna realized in terror. She quickly freed her beast and began to trail her sister's scent, baying at the moon in frustration as she lost it at a stream.
"Did she drown?" Shawna wondered in fear. "Wait, I'm getting 2 other scents here. A woman and a wild cat of some kind. Oh NO! What if the wild cat? Realizing that she needed help, and needed it quickly she did the one thing she had sworn she'd never do. She telepathed a SOS to her father.

Blaine was woke up by one of the strongest telepblasts he'd ever received. What the..!" Not recognizing anything but the fear he didn't waste time asking questions. He just followed the blast to its source.

Fallow heard a loud cry for help. He was resting as it was Brynds turn to be on patrol. At that moment his fellow dragon sent a query. It did not come from the castle, Fallow replied. You continue, I will check it out. The blue dragon took flight and followed the lingering trail of the mental alarm.

"Oh, great! Things weren't bad enough, now there's a damn dragon circling about!" Shawna said aloud, her despair threatening to over come her.

"The dragon won't hurt you unless you're a threat to the castle or the people who live there." Blaine said to the girl. He had traced the distress call to her, but he'd never seen this girl before so he had no idea why she was calling on him for help. Although there was something familiar about her.

Shawna practically jumped out of her skin at Blaine's words. If she hadn't been so upset over her sister he'd never of snuck up on her like that. Unsure of what to say she just looked at him. "I don't look that much like him, I favor my mother more, but there is something about our eyes that are the same." She thought to herself.

"I'm Blaine, as you already seem to know. Now, do you mind telling me who you are and why you called on me for help?" Blaine asked the girl, who just stood there like a rock, staring at him.

"I'm Shawna, and it took you long enough to get here! I'm not hurt, but if I was I'd be dead by now!" She blazed at him, stung by the arrogant indifference in his voice. Although, to be fair, he didn't know her, or even know about her, as far as she knew. She wasn't in the mood to be fair, however.

"Shawna? Am I supposed to know you?" Blaine asked. "Damnation, but there's something familiar about her!" Blaine thought to himself. "I can't place it though. And I'm sure I've never met her before. Arrogant little wench, calling on a total stranger for help, then berating him because he didn't get here fast enough for her!"

"Supposed to know me? I don't suppose you are, I'm just your daughter, after all!" Shawna felt satisfaction at the total shock on Blaine's face. Somehow she had decided that the whole situation was his fault. "I guess we'll have to do the whole warm and fuzzies routine another time, because there isn't time now! My sister has been kidnapped! Or carried off by some wild beast, I'm not sure which. I followed her scent to the stream, then lost it. I picked up a woman's scent, and that of a wild cat with her though, heading towards that castle that you spoke of. Will you please help me get her back?" The situation finally got to her and she broke down crying with that plea.
