Ursa shook her head at Drogax "Yes, I am... normally Ursanid... But I've come to a conclusion which requires this form." Ursa side glances at Starfire. "I've got something to do on the Mountain, The cold doesn't bother me too much, I care more about Keeping Starfire Safe and sound..."
Ursa took the food and clothing, bundling up star like a protective Parent. "I'm sorry everythings going so fast, but we don't have much time."

"Here, don't hesitate to ask for anything, we're here to help nature and those who live with it." Drogax hands the bag to Ursa and hands gloves to Starfire.
"Take care on the mountain Starfire. I have to finish my duties in the village. Anyone will help you with anything." Drogax stepped out of the hut waving goodbye to them both. The entire time he watched the hut waiting for them to leave.

Ursarius Turned to Starfire and Hugged her tightly once again. "Star... if anything happens up on the mountain, I want you to come back here and Get help alright? The People of Fen and the Ursanids have an agreement, and they will help you if you tell them I sent you." Ursa placed her scarred and nail-less finger on the claw hanging around Star's neck. "This is all the proof you will need. If I have to leave you for the final time..."
Ursa wrapped her arms around her and held her for a minute. "I love you." She said, just before letting her go. "come, we have to get going, the Bears are waiting for me to return..." She took star's hand and left the Hut.

Star hugged back as a tear shed down her face. "I love you two." Star whipped the tear slipped the gloves on and started to walk. She waved good bye to Drogax and looked around but followed. 'Your going to get killed. Your going to fall of a mountain and die. Or your friend will be the one to fall.' Star let go of Ursas hand and started to cry. "I c..can't... go..." She said.

Ursa turned, shocked and surprised. Her mouth fell open. "What?! What do you mean you can't go?!" She shook her head, heart pounding out of control. "You said you would! Why not?" A little bit of frustration and anger seeped out of her voice into her words. "Star Please!"
Ursa grabbed her arm and pulled her lightly. Hoping she would follow anyway.

Star looked down knowing that she should have kept walking but broke down. "Its just.... I don't want you to get hurt and something could happen." Star had tears streaming down her face as she looked at Ursa while she cried. "It's not your fault. If it weren't for Alex I would go with no problem but I have a fear. A fear of you or us dying.

Ursa doubled back and stared at her with confusion. "Wait... who's Alex?" Ursa looked deeply concerned now. 'Who is Alex? I've never heard that name before... someone from Wildgard?' Ursa clenched her teeth in anger and hatred. 'If he hurt her...'
Ursa was feeling a strange mixture of hatred, fear and worry. She didn't know what to do, all she knew was she needed to get up that mountain and finish what she started... or die Trying.
"Who's Alex?"

She stopped crying and sighed. "Alex was.... My lover. the one I thought I fell in love with until one day he tired to kill my father but I got in the way and almost died. If it wasn't for my father I would be dead.: She closed her eyes re-living the hurtful past. "My dad killed him before Alex got to me but Alex didn't die. He got up, and killed my father." She couldn't hold in the tears any longer. "After he killed my father he died like his job was complete." 'Thats right, I killed your father! I COULD HAVE KILLED YOU TWO!!' As he yelled at her the tears went sown her face as more and more of them slid out of her eyes.

Ursa's throat was tight and sore like she'd been holding her breath and holding back her cries. "Well he's dead, isn't he? He cant Hurt you!" She was shouting at Starfire now, She couldn't stand to see her hurt. Her fists were clenched at her sides and her heart felt like it was going to explode. "Come on, I'm not letting you out of my Sights again... Star."
She had never felt this amount of someone else's pain, everything hurt and her head was pounding with a headache. She felt the need to make all of Star's pain go away, but she had no idea where to start or how t help her and it just made her hurt more. 'How can I defeat something that's already dead? How do I fight a memory?'
She thought back to Longclaws and Short-tail. How the memory of Short-tail haunted her every day, she kept Short-tails fur in a box in her cave and wished every day that she could burn it if It would make the memories go away, but they never left. And now Billy was just like Longclaws, and Starfire was the New Short-tail... Like History was repeating itself. She wouldn't lose her friends again, 'There has to be something I can do... I'm not letting this happen again... she's so close...'

"I think so." She said whipping the tears again. "It's fine. Just lets go before someone sees us and starts asking questions." Star started to walk but on her way she grabbed Ursas hand. "I just need to get back to Wildgard." Star was now trying to push back her thoughts and hold back the tears until she got home. 'Why are you doing this to me Alex? There's no reason for it.' Star kept repeating those word in her head as if her was going to hear her. "Can you lead the way."

Ursa nodded, She knew there was little that she could do, and she felt bad, and getting Star to talk was easier said than done. She felt helpless. Like she was when... when Star betrayed her and left. Ursa hated being weak and helpless more than anything in the world. Weak, and helpless to save the ones she loved. She failed to save Short-tail, She failed to Save Billy when she thought the Watchers had her. Failed to rescue Scythe from the Watcher's imprisonment, and failed to save Starfire, Not to mention herself. 'Why do I keep fighting this? I'm never going to be a Real Ursanid. I'm too Weak.' She walked with her head down, kicking the snow with the toe of her foot, she led the way so Starfire couldn't see her tears, freezing to her face. The Look of pain in her human form couldn't be hidden as well as she usually did in Bear form. Her brown eyes were glossy with Tears, but she kept telling herself the same thing over and over. 'From my heart comes my strength, Don't be afraid to love, It's not weakness... You fight stronger when you let it out Ursa... Your Weakness is your Strength....'

Drogax followed a fair distance behind Starfire and Ursa. He had a feeling something bad was going to happen on the mountain. Seeing Starfire stop and break down and hearing Ursa's shouting he only felt like the omen was confirmed carefully and quietly Drogax remained following. 'What is Starfire doing out this far. I know Ursa's clan lives on this mountain, but something just doesn't feel right.'

Star turned around and saw Ursa's eyes starting to water and she ran up her and held both of her hands and pulled her into a hug. "It's not your fault. I just worry about you and you in human form... your just not as strong. I love you and if anything happens up there I want to know that i'm safe." Star looked at her then hugged her tighter and slowly opened her eyes and saw someone in a distance away from them. "Ursa.." she said in a whisper. "Far right. Someones following us." Star slowly reached in her bag and held her dagger. "We need to move."

Ursa's heart sank, somewhere down in her stomach and her eyes widened. 'Followed...? Or pursued?' She thought. 'Were there still people after the Bear from Wildgard? Star's hired Hands? No... It could be someone after Starfire for her Betrayal...' Ursa's mind started racing and she couldn't feel her heart beat or veins pulsing anymore. She hardly noticed Star clinging to her. 'What am I going to do?! THINK!' She closed her eyes tight and swallowed her fear. She tried to speak to Star as calmly as possible.
"It's alright Star, everything's going to be alright, just act natural." That sentence sounded ironic to her; Act Natural? She was a Bear disguised in Human form, how much more 'Natural' could she get? She kissed Star's shoulder and smiled. "Just keep moving..." She nudged her playfully with her elbow and nodded with her chin toward the mountain trail. Grinning, but the Fear could still be seen in her eyes.
