He read the runes one more time and it clicked, he pressed the very first and the very final ones and the door opened, darkness pouring out, absorbing the man, contorting his very soul.
It had begun...
Post by: Kale on January 19, 2004, 05:02:12 am
Eventually he reached the riverside and caught a glimpse of his reflection in the water. What he saw was an otter looking back. He knew the otter well, as it was him, a reflection of his furry form, he had been seeing it in mirrors and stuff more and more recently, and he knew that this linked to his feeling that something big was about to happen. There was a clash of thunder as he turned his head upwards, watching the strange purple lightning arcing across the sky, just it time to see the fork arcing towards him and an impossible thing, his reflection leaping out towards him "oh sh-" He was cut off as the lightning and the reflection hit him, sending him flying backwards and into darkness.
When Kale woke up he was in his bed. A dream? No. He could feel the pain of tripping and falling, and his whole body felt wrong, he was laying on his side, so he decided to roll over onto his back "yeowch!" He shouted, having rolled onto something. He quickly rolled off the bed and got up, catching a glimpse of himself in a mirror, an otter stared back. Whereas every previous time he had seen this, the otter had been slightly transparent, not it was very solid and very real., he felt his own face, watching as the paws raised up to touch it, feeling the muzzle that was now his face.
'Wow' He thought 'Its really happened, and I know I'm not dreaming, I think i should tell someone about this'He turned to his computer, which was fortunately still on, and yes, still connected to the internet, he quickly opened messenger to see who was online, turning on his webcam.

I waited for sleep to come, this late night. I felt much more restless then I have ever any other night. Not even when I was younger on christmas eve night. I constantly had this need to get up and run outside. That I had to go, and do something. But what?
I've never felt such a need, but I felt so tired. I couldn't help it but fall asleep feeling ashamed at haveing not gone and done what I wanted.
My dreams were twisted, swirling, constnatly going all over the place. I saw, someone, with an umbrella. He walked up to a river. I sat here, on a rock, and watched him through the rain. Then a bright flash, and then it went all odd, chaotic. I saw a lizard, it saw me, and the rest of my night was thrown into darkness.
I woke up, feeling quite odd. I felt like I was laying down on something, something that was quite uncomfritable to be layed on. Rolling to myside with my eyes still closed, I felt my self roll off whatever I had been ontop of. Though an odder feeling came over me. Something was moving, right behind me. My eyes shot open and my body went very still. Whatever was next to me stopped moving as well. I could feel my breath quicken as nervousness grew up in me. Then with sudden decision, I whipped my head around, much faster then I had ever thought I could. Though what I saw was even scarrier. Some sort of long coneish type thing, bent slightly. My first instinct was snake, but I then wondered what a snake would be doing in my bed, and why it got wider as it got closer to me.
A tail? No... that's impossible. I reached over and turned on the light next to me. I saw a scale covered arm pull away from the light after I turned it on. My hands ending in slight claws. Fear soon fell over me. What had happened? What are my parants going to think? what of my sister?
I rolled out of my bed, landing on my feet, then stumbling foward, then backwards, I fell onto my bed ontop of my tail. Panic soon began to Come onto me. I couldn't even stand!
I shook with the fear that I was feeling, trying to free myself of this horrid dream. Curling up into a ball, I felt my tail wrap around my legs as I stuffed my head between my legs and body, making myself so much smaller. I cried, from fear, panic, and saddness knowing that whatever life I had before was long gone to me now.

"danm... i could really go for some salmon..."
He giggled at the remark, surmising that his appetite had been changed as well as his form. He wondered how his parents would react to it and grinned.

Paul sat up in bed, checking his arms and his legs.
"Thank goodness for that."
He looked towards the window and watched the rain smeer against the glass. He slowly began to calm down.
"My college psyciatrist would have a field day with this one. 'Please doc, I've been having dreams where I'm a ferret, any ideas?'"
Paul climbed out of bed, put on a pair of trousers and went down stairs to get a drink. As he passed the window, something caught his eye. He looked again, there was a person just outside, holding an umbrella, looking at something.
"What's he.." as he spoke there was a flash and the person dissappeared.
Thinking he had been hit by lightning, Paul ran to the door and outside to help, but just as his eyes shifted focus as he turned to run his eyes saw something his brain couldn't process. His reflection was not his own, it was a ferret that looked back at him.
Paul looked evrywhere but he couldn't see the person with the umbrella anywhere. Something made him look up and he saw an instant before it struck, purple lightning arcing through the sky.
Paul awoke, his head pounding, as he moved to rub his forehead he noticed something strange about his hand, no, paw.
He realised what had happed, he couldn't understand it and barely believe it but he knew.
"My parents are gonna KILL ME!"

I crawled to my computer, pushing myself up and into the chair. Pushing several buttons with akward claws, I waited as the computer whined to life.
As it came fully loaded up, I went to my e-mail, knowing nothing else. There was something there, which I opened. I then waited as the attachment downloaded. The message I read while that happened. I stared at it for a moment, before realizing the download had completed. I opened it, and there was an otter waving in a happy fashion.
How could he be happy? How?! His life is destroyed, that everything that was will never be the same. No one would accept him, they'd be scared of him. He'll be subject to scientists poking and prodding him.
Then I wondered at the connections. In my dreams I saw a person with an umbrella, in the rain. I saw the bright flash. Was I somehow connected to him? I noticed a listings of his IM screen names, which I added to it, when I loaded the program up.
When I saw the newly added name pop up in sign of being logged in, I paused for a moment, scared of what could happen, of the conversation that would soon be. Then with heavy reluctence I clicked on the name brining up a new window.
Hello?

He could only think of one thing, a place that had brought him comfort in the past, he only hoped it could again.
Somehow he was able to turn on his computer and clumsily opened his e-mail in box.
"1 New Message" it told him.
After several seconds the file opened and an otter waved out from the monitor.
He looked for the name of the sender.
"Kale? It can't be!"
Something clicked into place.
"Unless..."
After much frustration Paul was able to open his messenger and saw Kale was already on line.
"Please!" He whispered
Kale, I need your help bad!
Post by: Kale on January 21, 2004, 09:49:20 am
yeah, im here
He was starting to feel really hungry, but leaving the room would provably be a bad idea, his parents would be awake and he now really didnt want to see how they'd react.
Post by: beyond the darkness on January 21, 2004, 10:00:38 am
Breathing hard he began to type.
I don't know how, but I saw someone get hit by lightning then I went out side to help and I...
He struggled to bring himself to admit it.
What are we gonna do?
Just as he hit the enter key something else clicked in his mind.
It was you! I saw you! But how?
Post by: Kale on January 21, 2004, 10:09:02 am
[/I]Well, i dont know how long were gonna be safe,if this has happened to us i want to know what started it and what we have to do, no one who hasnt seen whats happened wont belive us, but i suspect it has happened to others
He pressed enter and snuck downstairs, it appeared that no one was awake so he grabbed a glass of orange juice and some salmon from the fridge and went back upstairs. His mother was waiting in his bedroom.
"Antony... is it really you?" She said, her voice full of concern
"yeah, its me mum" he replied
"w-what happened to you?"
"I dont know, im trying to figure it out"
She hugged him tight "I know that youre gonna be leaving soon and i hope that you'll be ok... please... come back.." and left
Post by: beyond the darkness on January 21, 2004, 10:17:40 am
He quickly scribbled down a note for his parents (as best as he could write with his paw like hands)
I'm sorry, I have to go, you wouldn't understand. But I'll be back!
"I hope" he added silently.
He pinned it to his room door and crept back out of the house.
He look back at his home. The sun was beginning to rise, casting a strange red glow over it.
"I've never seen that before," he said before turning and sprinting away.

Where was I to go? This Kale person lived in england... I lived in the US. How is a 6' lizard going to get anywhere unnoticed? How was I to get anywhere? I got up tentativly, wobbling on my two altered feet, my tail swinging around behind me trying to keep me up, I then fell over, my tail knocking the chair away, and my butt hitting the ground with a thump. I tried again, this time with a bit more balance in me, but not quite enough for me to actually start walking.

I turned on my webcam showing my lizard like features.
See... I'm up in northren america... and well.. it's getting cold. Which makes it very hard for someone like me to operate effectively.

Kale wished he didnt have to leave Jadnar alone, but he didnt have a choice, he could be noticed at any minute
Post by: beyond the darkness on January 22, 2004, 07:53:46 am
He hurridly tapped in the e-mail address and began to write.
Kale, here's my phone number, I don't think I can get online again, conntact me through that
"Message Sent" flashed on screen.
"I hope he gets it" he thought.
Glancing round, Dark left the phone box and quickly made for cover. Although the hoodie and baggy trousers hid most of his now animal form he still did not want to be seen.
He knew all he could do now was head south and meet up with Kale.
Just as he was about to make his move his phone bleeped, removing it from his pocket he read:
We Know, Good luck
It was from his parents. He stared at the phone for a moment before turning and making for the outskirts of town.
Post by: Kale on January 22, 2004, 08:06:56 am
A few hours later, he stopped by a forest stream, munching on a fish, and he remembered the number, he decided to dial it.
Post by: beyond the darkness on January 22, 2004, 08:27:17 am
He froze when his phone began to ring. He looked at the number, he didn't recognise it.
Breathing hard he answered.

"hi" replied the fox, looking slightly surprised "So im not the only one"
"no, youre not" kale replied sitting down and offering him some fish. Then kid smiled walked towards him
"the names ...Gavin, but my freinds call me Vulpino (OOC: no refrence to anyone on the boards)
"im kale" He replied as the fox sat, "just give me a second to talk to my other freind and we can be on our way to meet him. he tuned back to the phone "he seems nice enough BtD, i think weve piced up a freind" he smiled.

Post by: Jalex Darnco on January 22, 2004, 09:31:08 am
Looking over towards my bed, I saw the remenents of my pants, which were ripped with my tail's growth. I knew I couldn't run around naked. I figured that my best bet was my skiing clothes, if I were to keep warm anyways. I struggled to put them on, putting my pants on backwards, so that the fly would allow my tail to stick out, though it felt odd non of the less. When I was sufficeintly dressed, I looked at myself in the mirror.
I do have to admit, I do look like a bit of a cool looking lizard. Though, the ski cloathes added an interesting touch to the whole look. If I had some sunglasses that fit, maybe.
I then went downstairs where I saw my dad. He didn't see me as he was looking out the window with the cat in hand. I could suddenly hear the cat hiss slightly, and leap out of my dad's hand and down the stairs to the basement.
"What the? That was odd," My dad turned around and saw me, "WHAT!? Who are you?!"
"I'm Jason."
"How?"
"I don't know how it happened."
"Your mother is going to have a heart attack."
"I know. I have to leave."
"To where?"
"I don't know, I just have to, maybe go south or something."
"It is getting cold."
"That's pretty much why. I don't feel like living under a heat lamp all my life. But I have to go for something else, though."
"I think I know what you mean."
He walked over to his desk, picking up his wallet. He pulled out some money, and cards, "Here, take these. I think you know how to use the stuff sparingly enough. I hope you can take care of yourself."
"I plan to, don't worry."
"You.. are going to hide that snout, right? The feet too?"
"Only if he have anything big enough, otherwise, no. I can't."
Sighing, he went to sit in the living room. I headed over towards the door, "I'll try and keep in touch. I have to keep in touch with alot of people now, but I should be able to find a way. See you later."
"Bye."
With that, I opened the door and closed it behind me. I stood on the threshold, looking out into the country land scape.
"To where ever I shall travel, to where ever I shall be, and what more things have in store for me," I wispered to myself. I then started walking, and walked I did, down to the woods, and I continued to walk, watching my breath with each step.
Post by: Kale on January 22, 2004, 09:38:57 am
jadnar?
you there?
Hello?? Anyone?
Danmit... he must have left... i really hope someone picks this up. He smiled as vulpino looked over his shoulder
"whos that your talking to?" He said, ina voice full of curiosity
"A freind" He replied, not really wanting to say anymore.
Post by: Jalex Darnco on January 22, 2004, 06:03:47 pm
My dad approached the computer, and saw the hasty text displayed. He then decided to reply to who ever it was.
He left, to go south. If you are the person he refered to trying to keep in contact with, he'll try to get back to you.
**********************************************
Indeed that I was. As I walked, I contemplated how I was going to get through society undetected, and still get food, and make contact with Kale. I decided that I should head towards the ocean. I've always noticed that the ocean waters were warmer then the surrounding air tempratures, specially during the winter. I'll then have to travel down along the coast towards south, in hopes of getting to a warmer climate. Already I could feel myself slowing down, I tried to keep moving, to generate heat.
I could try and steal something, like a cell phone. They'd be too busy trying to figure out how a lizard broke in, though I'd have to find a way of activating it without anyone knowing.
Damn... this was going to be hard. How was I going to access the internet, or make phone calls to anyone? I stopped when I arrived at those thoughts. I could feel anger well up in me as I came to the realization that I'd have to make some sort of apprence to society in order to get what I needed. Though Society as a whole would not enjoy the idea of a 6 foot lizard walking around. Knowing them there'd be some sort of lynch mob. Specially with paranoid americans. I was lucky that my dad was that soft. I wondered how Kale was doing on his end of the world.
There has to be a way... maybe to break into a house at night. Most home security systems are armed with infrared sensors. I knew that lizards, least most of them, could sense those fairly well, so maybe I could get by them if the house had such. From there, I can contact Kale, get his phone number if he does have a cell phone, then I can talk to him via pay phones at night. Then at least I could coordinate something. It all depends on finding a place where I can get internet access. Maybe some sort of night club in Portland, where it's dark, or flashy lights, they might think I have a costume on. Or I could try and find some furry to help me.
Though I'd have to find one first. Lets slow down now.... I took a deep breath, and then a small chill shook my spine. I decided to keep walking again. Lets first get there, scope out the area when it's dark. Then I can find a place to strike and make my move. I could also perhaps pursuade someone to do some errands from some dark ally somewhere. Gives whole new meaning to cold blooded now doesn't it? I shook my head, but without a smile. I'll find a way, I'll find a way yet.
Post by: Kale on January 23, 2004, 04:46:23 am
Kale typed out his mobile phone number, beofre siging off, it was dark, he was rested, and it was time to moves onwards
"C'mon vulpino, lets go" He said "we have to cover a lot of ground, It'll be a couple of days before we meet beyond, and i dont think its safe for us to stay in one place"
"Sure" replied the fox as kale put out the fire and packed up his things...
The darkness came just minutes after they left, leaving everything in the area where they had been lifless, a figure, featureless in the shadow appeared "danm" it declared, and moved onwards.
Post by: beyond the darkness on January 23, 2004, 07:55:56 am
"Damn I hate fish!"
The night was silent, at least to human ears, to Dark the night was full of life. He was getting more and more used to his new life, it allowed him to notice things he never would have in the past.
"And having this fur DEFINATLY helps keep you warm" he thought.
He sat trying to piece together what had happened in his mind.
" I know it's Kale I saw but how? We must be connected or something. And it's happened to someone in America aswell? This is getting really wierd. What do we have in common? What makes us so special?"
Dark held his hands in his paws.
"Better keep moving" He thought after a moment. Getting to his feet he began to leave, always keeping in sight of the motorway at all times to ensure he was going the right way.

"Kale, what's up?"
Just as he answered he heard a noise, someone was coming!
"S**T! Kale, need to go, I'll call you later"
He bolted as fast as he could away from the pursuer.
Post by: beyond the darkness on January 23, 2004, 02:20:23 pm
After a moment, he carefully glanced round. In the distance he could just make out the unmistakable flashing blue lights of police cars.
"Wha..?"
He thought back
"This must be private property, someone must have saw me and called the police. Damn it!"
Pressing his back against the boulder again, he tried to relax.
Dispite the danger he was in he felt sleep begin to take him.
"Oh great," he thought just as he nodded off.

"What the hell?"
I jumped back from the miror in surprise. Instead of the regular human self I was accustomed to seeing, an anthromorphic panther stood there, in the the same t-shirt and pair of boxers I had worn to bed last night. Speaking of the boxers, they were a bti uncomforatable around the rear, tugging at them as I gazed in shock at the mirror, I felt my hand-no, paw- close around the base of a..a..tail? I turned around, freeing my new tail from the boxers and flicking it about.
"There is no way this is happening..." I said as I watched myself. Hurriedly, I ran through the rest of the house. Everyone else was gone, my brother to a friends house, my parent in Sna Francisco for the day, thank God. I grabbed a pair of scissors and hurriedly modified my boxers to make them more comforatble before sitting at my computer, and logging onto AIM.....

Getting to his feet he moved on, constantly on the alert now. Then he remembered Kale.
He removed the phone from his pocket and began to write a text message.
Kale, Dont worry Im fine. Heading south. C U soon I hope. BTD
Post by: Kale on January 26, 2004, 05:58:17 am

He finished sending the text before noticing that he was being watched, a man, somehitng vaugley familiar about his face. The man shouted "nice fursuit" and waved.

"I hope so too"
As he walked he kept feeling as if someone, or something was watching him. Several times he thought he actually saw something but each time when he looked again it was gone.
He was really beginning to get worried...

I had been able to travel down along the coast, leaving behind me myths of sea side monsters, and tracks that rivel those of Lockness.
As much as I had gathered thus far I managed to speed along into massatchusets. Though unfortunatly, that ment I'd be passing by boston, and that I'd have to move away from the coast for a small while. This was going to get worse I figured, since the further south I go the larger chances I'll have of running into cities, and sea side resorts. I expect security, and survalience to be high in those areas, and I couldn't possibly evade capture if I were to go through those areas.
So with reluctence I headed back inland and continued my way south.

I burned it into memory, before running off very quickly. Finding some change in my pocket, I was able to get to a pay phone. Though I paused. I didn't know how to make international calls. That was going to be... hard. I looked through the phone book on the shelf under the phone, and found something. Using the information I tapped at the buttons, then waited for a long pause of silence as the phone connected with the english phone matrix. Then I heard the familar rings.

I hung up the reciever of the pay phone quickly. Taking a deep breath, I opened the door to the booth, and scurried out, heading into the darkness.
No one's going to let me in as a fursuiter. Americans are too paranoid. Anyways, my movements are too real to ever be considered a suit. I'd have the military on my tail. I shook my head as I contemplated this fact. Then an Idea.... as silly as it was, popped into my head.
better then nothing.

In truth everything was fine...well almost everything. Josh stood staring at his reflection in the shattered mirror. His amber eyes flashed in the dim light. He had hid himself away after running from his home, the night he had changed. He now stayed in an abandoned home in the Loughan village, with only a cell phone and laptop...his only lifelines left and both were dying.
"What happened to me? Why have I become an anthro?" He needed to know. Opening his laptop he prayed the battery would hold out long enough. He headed to a website, and began typing a string of E-mail addresses. "To whom receives this message, I am in need of help. I have become an animal. Very scared. Please...He left his number in the message and hit send. He hoped someone in the list could help him, or prove that he was stark raving crazy. He shut down the laptop hoping it would conserve enough charge for him to check his distress letter. He got up and looked out across the Bann. He had to stay away from people. He'd have to travel the countryside.

He turned back to the phone, scanning the night anxiously, knowing that he could have attracted the attention of something else.

He found the hole in the wall he came across before and dropped into the cellar.
"Damn I miss my room" he said to himself.

"Foxes, ferrets, otters, wolves...sounds like something out of Redwall."
He got up and stretched, and glanced over at the mirror in his room. He stared at his furry muzzle for a moment, and then gasped
"Great green Girafarigs! What the bloody happened?!?"
Russano rushed to his weapons closet. He made sure he could still grip his bow, axe, and katana. He sighed, then his eyes widened again. He rushed over to his computer, and typed "I am a badger" for several lines. He sighed again. Any other impediments didn't matter to him, as far as he was concerned. He wondered if he was the only one...He logged on AIM and typed "Hello. Is there anyone out there who can help a confused badger?"

I wasn't too sure if my plan would work, but I had to try.
There was the plane, waiting to head out to England, to that odd named place Kale had mentioned. There as baggage slowly being loaded in. There, the baggage handlers were looking away, Go!
I ran as hard as I could, faster then I ever thought I'd run, and then I lept, bouncing myself off the conveyer belt and shooting myself into the plane's cargo compartment. I then sat and waited to see if the baggage handlers caught me. I heard their voices question a sound, but another refuted saying it was only a package.
Relaxing, I set myself as far back into the compartment as possible.

hehung up the phone as the figures approched and asked "what do you want?"
"Oh... It talks" said the first
"Fancy that, a talking freak" Replied the second
"Lets show this furry freak whos boss"
Kale noticed the blackened echoi to the voices, it soubded like a darkness within spilling outwards, kale turned and ran towards the lights of the village

"What the..."
He sat for a minute trying to work out what had woken him.
He couldn't think of anything so lay back down on the cold floor, and closed his eyes again.
An image of Kale flashed in his mind, he was in danger!
"KALE!!"
Dark sparng to his feet and and ran towards the hole in the wall.

"Where the fu..?"
Then he saw it, the figure speeding across the field, in the distance he could make out ominous shadows.
He ran to the edge of the field, luckly covered by a a group of trees, he stuck an arm out and grabbed the running figure almost being pulled off his feet.
"It's me!!" He said quickly. "Come on"
Not letting go, he pulled Kale towards the two farm buildings, pointing out the hole.
"In there quick!"
He could he the noise growing and dived in behind Kale hoping they hadn't been seen.

Having reinforced the seemingly only connection to others like him, he signed off aol but kept his aim account open. He set his cell phone to send him his IMs, then did what he always did to relieve stress: Go out in the woods and work on his kendo forms.
* * *
Russano arrived at one of his favorite clearings in the woods near his NC house. It was calm and cool, but still gave him plenty of time to see anyone sneaking up on him. He began practicing Form One of his Shen-shi-ra style, and as he did so, he thought he heard something creeping around in the bushes.

He's taking a bit of a risk... he thought. Ah well
Going into the kitchen he found a tub of Coca and begin to prepare a mug when a wave of dizziness and pain washed over him.
"What the..?"
He thought for a second, the last time he felt like this it was when Kale was being chased.
"Kale!"
Dark ran to the back door to see two men standing over Kale.

Yuki huddled in the woods, nervously fingering a knife on her belt, her two tails pulled tightly to her, her sharp little ears up, alert.
She wondered if the hotel people were still chasing her. It was rude of them, particularly after the substantial tip she'd left the night before. It wasn't her fault that she'd woken up a Kitsune.
Her nose twitched, testing the air. God only knew where she was. She was hungry, tired....scared...? Yes. She wouldn't have admitted it to anyone else, but to herself she had to. She was afraid. She had every right to be. She was in England, alone, away from her family, away from everything she knew.....
There was nothing for it, when the maid had come in and screamed. She'd grabbed what she could, and ran. She was quick, ever so quick in this form. Her body, despite everything, pleased her. Slim, sleek, strong and lean, she longed to run, to chase prey, to play in the forest....
But....what had happened? Why was she this way? Why did she feel that if she stopped moving for too long something bad would happen...?
She darted through the woods in little dashes, cover to cover, rock, tree, bush, tree, tree......sniffing the air, the ground, so alive with scents she couldn't identify. She expected she was lost........

Matt typed in the URL and ended up at the furtopia homepage it came back to him bit by bit, flashbacks and other fragments of the past helped him remember it all, searching through the boards he remembered that he was friends with the two people, but he never got to meet them. He posted a topic up on the forums to see if anyone would reply.
I am not joking about what I'm about to say. Has anyone out there woken up as their fursona or is changing into it at any point. I know of a person other that me that has changed, he has become a panther and I have a lions tail, I dont know how he woke up as a panther, but I have reason to believe i was experimented on. Is there anyone out there who this has happened to for me to meet in England somewhere. Please reply ASAP.
He clicked back on the message from Draska

Post by: Ukiko on March 26, 2004, 12:29:55 am
She was growing used to her new senses, seeing in the dark, the cataphony of scents eventually became layers she could distinguish from one another, and guess at the source. Her reflexes were quicker as well, and she managed to catch a few small fish. Not wanting to draw attention, or to start a forest fire, she ate them raw. Freshwater Sashimi, hm.
She drank deeply, and decided to follow the stream through the woods to minimize her chances of getting lost...though she was starting to trust her senses a bit more.
Which is why when she heard someone behind her, she froze, tested the air.
And didn't like what she smelled.
They broke into a run behind her, confirming her suspicions. Part of her wanted to turn and attack, but......something was very wrong. They smelled.....dark was the only way to describe it. So she ran, hoping to lose them in the trees.....

"Ok so i ate some bad berries or some thing mabey a snake bite while i was sleeping cause this cant be right" He said voice shaking with disbelief as he looked at his reflection in the stream, What should have been the reflection of a man in his twentys was replaced by the muzzle of a large cat dark fur and green eyes wide with disbelief stared back. "And the wings too what is happening" he said stumbling back as his left wing caught on a branch "OWWWW" he shouted in an almost roar "That realy hurt....I suppose that rules out dream then" He said sitting down on his tail grimecing "Thats gonna takes some getting used to aswell" He moved slowly back to his camp aware of the new scents and sounds he could notice now also how much quieter he was as if instinct had taken over he started to enjoy this new found form a little without even relizing it he caugt him self stalking seviral forest animals before he made it back to camp and set about making breakfast.

It was cold, she realized, though her fur kept her warm enough. It was also dark. Her night vision was excellent with her sharp, bright green eyes, and she found her way easily along the stream, finally discovering a small, rocky cave, just big enough to curl up in. Resting her head on her backpack and her paws, her two tails tightly around her, she fell into a fitful sleep.
Morning came, and with it a gnawing hunger. The fish she'd caught the day before had been disappointing at best...after ridding them of scales, and bones, there wasn't much more than a mouthfull left.
Sighing, she stretched, and went to the stream, drinking deeply, and staring at her reflection.
Her own long, straight, jet black hair was still there, but now it was interrupted by tall, black-tipped, red ears. Her muzzle was slim, tapered, packed with needle sharp little teeth. Oddly, she had two white-tipped brush tails swishing behind her. According to legend, she was too young to have two tails.....
Her mother had told her stories, long ago....she could remember them, but the rest......
It was hard to remember much before she'd woken up like this. Odd.
There was nothing to do with the thought for the moment, so she pushed it out of her mind, and continued down the stream, looking for fish. It was a disappointing endeavor.
Then her nose twitched. Fire.....and.....oh yes...there was food. She crept forward, silently, sniffing the air hungrily. A camp apparently.....she wondered if anyone were there.....
Using the underbrush and trees as cover, she moved slowly toward the smells, sharp ears forward, listening hard. Someone was splashing in the stream......

She blinked.
Well, she was a fox-girl, so.....it stood to reason someone else might have.....changed....
She crept closer, tempted by the smell of food.....
She wondered if perhaps she should approach him...since he was like her...but....that didn't mean he was some good, kind person....she didn't know him, he was a stranger. And could be dangerous.
Plus.....he looked to be a foot taller than she was. maybe even more.....and he was definately stronger.
She watched, waited. She wasn't sure if she was upwind or down, and was uneasy. If his senses were on par with her own...he might just scent her.....she tensed, nervously....

Damn.....it looked like the leopard guy could smell her.....but...
Her little pink tongue darted out, licking her tapered muzzle. She was hungry, and he had food....
She tensed herself, ready to start backing away, slowly, quietly, when her stomach growled.
Loudly.
Oh. Hell......

She darted forward, hoping to catch him off guard by running right past him instead of away, right past the fire she hoped.
It was too risky to try to grab anything from his camp, more was the pity.
She ran at him, fast, trying to dart around him....

Matt looked down his t-shirt and a look of fear on his face came over him when he saw golden fur sprouting from his chest with a white belly. What the hell was happening to him. His head was pounding and as he felt it he felt what seemed to be the stubs of ears, they were...growing! quite fast as well. He hoped that Kale would reply soon as people would start to question him as the cyber cafe started to get more busy...

Yukiko felt herself grabbed, felt herself losing her balance. She screamed and it was more like a high yip, she struggled...
"No, don't hurt me!!" She put up a paw, attempting to push him away.....
To her shock, green flame erupted from her hand in a rush, flashed toward him. It was bright, but cold, burning nothing, and strangely silent. She was stunned, stopped struggling immediately to stare, dumbstruck, at the flamethrower her hand had suddenly become.

Something about it touched a memory.....something her mother had told her about in a fairy tale....foxfire....?
She blinked up at him as he spoke, and she relaxed a little. She was still wary, but...well, if he was friendly, maybe she could find out a little about her condition....
"I....um....don't know where that came from....." She said, apologetically. "It just sortof happened....."

She'd dropped her backpack in the struggle, and retrieved it, sitting indian-style and pretending to be interested in the contents as he got dressed. She was dismayed to find that she had very little in the way of clothes, one item of which was a yukata....not very practical.
She glanced up. "So....you wake up like this too...?"

Her long ears flicked forward as he asked if she were hungry. She was, as a matter of fact, ravenous. She expected it had to do with her new body, possibly even the foxfire...
"Hungry?" She tried to be nonchalant, though she was almost drooling. "Y-yeah...I could eat....definately....."

She looked up, quickly, her mouth full. "Yukiko. Yuki, if you want." She swallowed. "I got chased out of my hotel room 'cause I got furry.....then I sorta ran for the woods for cover. I got chased by....something. I don't know. They didn't smell right.....if that makes sense." She paused to tear a strip of jerky with her sharp little teeth. "So, I ran until I lost them. Then I...well....smelled your food....."

Experimentally she raised a hand, watched a little foxfire flare out from her fingertips. It took a little effort when she wasn't panicked. "You know.....my mom told me something weird a long time ago. She caught me playing with matches, I was.....6 or so. She said....'fire is a toy for foxes, not little girls.' I thought that was so weird.....but now...."
She shook her head. "Strange."

The fish were good, and she told him so, between mouthfulls. By the time he finished with his phone, she'd licked the plate clean, and was experimenting with making a ball of foxfire, which she bounced between her palms.
"Where's he at...? Do you know?" She smiled, slightly. "And, thanks for the offer to stay.....I'm guessing....we should stick together...the ones of us who are like this, I mean...."

"Leictershire eh? Hmmmm I guess thats where I'm headed" he thought to himself.
he typed out another message to Kale
Do you have a mobile phone, just to find out where you are when i get there
Matt typed his mobile phone number on the end of his message and sent it.

He had strange and vivid dreams however as he awoke he was unable to remember them, only the fact that he HAD dreamt.
The sound of typing crept into the room. Dark stood up and entered into the room which contained the computer, he was startled for a moment seeing someone at the computer, he then realised it was Kale.
"KALE!!"
Dark than to Kale and hugged him

"Yeah..." she admitted. "I didn't get much sleep..." She paused, wondering if he'd seen anything like she had. "Hey....um....heh, you didn't tell me your name....Did you see anything....odd? I mean....someone...something chased me. I don't know what. Kinda...human but." She paused. "They smelled....well, wrong. I don't know how to describe it. Like....dark. It....scared me." She vanished the little ball of foxfire she'd been playing with, and hugged her knees to her chest with the memory. "Like almost nothing I've ever felt before. I just...knew somehow, that they weren't, well, right."

I wondered off, I'll be back soon,just want to check something out
It was always worth a shot, he thought as he entered the forest, concerntrating and smiling as the white glow surrounded a stick, making it glow softly... something didnt smell right and it was worrying him, and he knew that whatever hgad attacked him with the bodies of those two people had dissapeared and gone elsewhere... he could smell the same thing here and wanted to get rid of it for good. He stepped forwards into the darkness.

"OH CRAP" he shouted out loud "they're looking for me!"
He logged off as fast as he could and ran out of the door. He ran and he ran down every street looking around at signs for the bus station. He became more and more frustrated when every sign he followed took him somewhere else. At long last he came to the bus station, sweating and out of breath he walked up as calm as he could to the check out and asked
"how much do I need to get to Leictershire?"
"£10 sir" the checkout girl replied
Matt slapped down a £10 note and took the ticket as she handed it to him
"Thank you, where is the bus for Leictershire?"
"just around the corner sir" was the answer
"thanks again"
Matt ran off to the coach and checked that it was headed for Leictershire. He was lucky to find the right one as this was due to leave very very shortly. He handed the driver his ticket and as he walked to the back, he got some odd looks from the other passengers, he quickly made his way to the back seat where no one else was and sat down. He felt his head and he noticed that his ears had gotten bigger. He quickly put his hood up and pulled out his phone and sent a text to Kale.
Hey, I'm on my way now, but I think i got cops or someone looking for me, I heard sirens and I'm transforming fast, I'm so scared I really don't know what to do. I'll text you again as I'm about to arrive. Thanks a lot
He sat back in his seat and stared out of the window as the coach pulled out from the station and onto the open road...

She scanned the woods as she spoke. "Whatever chased me...well.....seemed human. At least....they looked human." She shook her head. "I don't know quite how to describe it...I mean, I haven't been able to sort through all the scents that I'm suddenly able to detect....but they smelled....wrong somehow. Dark....cold...."

She shook her head. "But anyway.....maybe once we get a few more of us together we can put our heads together and figure something out. A plan of action at least....."

"Hey are you ok?" was asked by him
"Yea should be" Matt replied, he felt hot and cold at the same time, his body ached and his head was pounding, he slowly got off the bus and walked into the bus station with a hand on his head in a pathetic attempt to soothe the excruciating pain. He remembered he had Kales number on his phone and he sent a text message.

"It's okay...I'm not really cold, just...well...." She didn't want to say 'scared'. Didn't want to admit it. "...Concerned for my continued existance." She laughed, lightly. She conjured up a ball of foxfire, bouncing it between her paws to take her mind off things, to have something to do. "It's been...a weird day."

His fear was also mixed in with anger as the knock had interupted his dream, one which his memories were quickly fading.
He crept to the door and looked through the spyhole but could make out very little, he didn't know what to do however something was telling him it was safe.
Breathing hard, he began to open the door.

She was on her feet, wakizashi at the ready before she ever heard the footsteps. Shambling, shuffling.....the odor of....she didn't know what on the air, making her nervous....
When....she....it....shambled out of the bushes, Yuki froze. zombie was the first thought that came to mind, with the blank eyes, shuffling gait.....she/it raised its head slowly, its unfocused eyes trained on the kitsune. It started toward her.
Yuki's heart was hammering, her hand tight around the wakizashi, she darted backwards. Who knew what this thing was, what it was capable of, where it came from. If there were more......
She yelped, loud, high, the frightened bark of a fox, trying to warn Jason, alert him, something. She yelped loud, repeating her cry until the thing lunged, cutting her off abruptly as she scrambled away.
She showed her teeth, growled low as the thing circled. Foxfire started to creep up the blade as her stress level increased......

"Don't like that, do you? Well then I...."
She nearly dropped the sword hearing Jason's shout, the shotgun blasts......
The thing took the opportunity to lunge, she dodged awkwardly, the creature hitting her shoulder far harder than she'd have expected. She yelped again, this time a rougher, higher cry of pain. She dodged out of the way, circling the creature. Her shoulder hurt, but didn't seem broken. She blazed her foxfire to life once more, causing the zombie (?) to back away slightly. She was scared. She needed to distract it, something....
Hang on, am I a kitsune or what....? If the stories were right.....
She concentrated all her energy and thought into the same whatever it was that created her foxfire.....come on, come on.....I need to distract this thing..... She was every bit as surprised as the zombie (?) to see that she was now standing next to herself.
The doppelganger didn't move much, just sort of stood there, but she hoped it would be a distraction enough.....she circled slowly away.
The thing looked at the doppelganger for a long moment, but turned back to Yuki herself and resumed stalking her. Her concentration broken, the doppelganger faded away. She cursed, renewing her foxfire, knowing the thing didn't like it much.....She wondered though how long she could keep it up....

Matt took off his coat and revealled his face, it was like a lion cubs, though the muzzle hadn't grown yet, he had the rest of the features though.
"It bloody hurts I can tell you that!"
And with that, Matt clutched his face and yelled out in agony, his face began to change and it happened slowly
"ahhhh dammit, what am I gonna do"
Matt fell to his knees and cried in pain...

It shouldn't have surprised her that the thing was none too impressed with the wounding. It shouldn't have surprised her that it didn't bleed so much as...ooze a weird, dark ichor.
However, she stood stock still, staring wide-eyed as Jason fought with the thing, caught up in surprise.....
Until it slammed him to the ground, and he lay motionless. It advanced toward him, and she leaped toward it, foxfire flaring, the wakizashi slashing an arc through the air, catching it across the back, but not appearing to phase it much. It turned its dead eyes slowly toward her, and charged.
Which was what she wanted. Sidestepping quickly, she gave it a hard shove, its momentum carrying it headlong into a tree, thudding hard. It bounced off, and lay motionless for a moment before a dark shadow, followed immediately by what looked like a silver shadow flitted out of its silent form. She stayed still, crouching low, foxfire playing up and down the wakizashi. Her heart was still pumping fast, hard....
She crept slowly over to Jason, her eyes still fixed on the zombie-thing, her foxfire still flickering silently. She touched his shoulder, lightly. He was breathing, that she could hear easily enough, and that was a relief.
"...Jason.....?" She shook him, gently. "Jason....daijobu <are you ok?>? Onegai <please>.....Jason, daijobu?" She said, softly, not realizing she'd lapsed into Japanese.

Post by: Rikimaru on April 27, 2004, 05:55:13 pm
"Ummmm yea I'm fine, got some aches in my face though"
Matt felt his face and felt that his muzzle had now grown out.
"What the hell did you do? when you put your hands on my face the pain was....gone! You took my pain didn't you. I could see it in your face. You shouldn't do that unless I ask from now on ok. It's not that I don't appreciate your help, it's just that....I don't want to cause pain to others. But thanks anyway"
Matt walked over to a nearby mirror and saw a lion cub anthromorp. He was scared and confused at what had happened to him...
Post by: beyond the darkness on April 27, 2004, 06:24:46 pm
He knew what Matt said was true, he HAD taken the pain. As he stood there he also realised he could feel his emotions too. He could feel fear, anger, confusion, the emotions conflicted and thought one another. He sighed and walked over to him and put a paw on his shoulder.
"So, what do ya wanna eat?"
Post by: Ukiko on April 27, 2004, 11:45:08 pm
She stood, wakizashi at the ready, between whoever was coming and Jason's still form. Her ears laid back on her thick, black hair, her lips pulled back from her sharp little teeth, and she crouched slightly, a position ready for combat. Green foxfire whispered up and down the blade, giving the lie to her outer calm with its near-frantic movement.
"<Who's there? Show yourself! I'm ready for you if it's a fight you want!>" Stressed, she didn't realize she was still speaking Japanese.

"Ummm....you got any chips or something, I'm not that hungry"
Matt looked back at the mirror and stared as though he was trying to find something, something he'd lost. He worked into his eyes trying to find his memory of what happened before he woke up...
Post by: beyond the darkness on April 28, 2004, 06:05:16 pm
Dark went into the kitchen but stopped as he passed through the doorway. Now he was aware of it, he began to sense emotions more strongly, almost as if they were individual odors in the air. He began to concentrate on Matt, his confusion was the most prominant but there was something else. He good sense...something within Matt, something which part of him was trying to stop him reaching.
He could think of nothing that could help Matt, so he began to prepare the food.
Post by: Rikimaru on April 28, 2004, 06:16:32 pm
"FREAK!"
That word, he kept getting the same flashback over and over, the figure was blurred though the voice was so farmiliar to him. Then it clicked, it was his dad. When did he find out about...this? He continued to stare into the mirror and he heard crying coming from somewhere, another room and the word 'freak' being repeated. He snapped out of it and looked terrified. What the hell happened to him? It was as though the flashback was more than a flashback. It seemed like real life, the present. What was it? Matt turned away from the mirror and went into the living room to sit down. He was deep in thought and he could smell food being cooked...

Just as he was about to serve the food he phone rang.
"Kale..."
Post by: Ukiko on April 29, 2004, 01:50:08 pm
He was....an otter. Likely the person Jason mentioned that had been fighting the zombies, or whatever they were.
"I'm Yukiko...Yuki." She glanced over at Jason, still worried. "This is Jason....he's hurt...."

She was surprised, not having seen her fight, that he was able to appraise her abilities....though she didn't doubt for a moment that he was right.
Plus.....that thing, skinwalker he'd called it, had knocked him reeling with one fairly awkward blow....and her shoulder, though she was trying to hide it, ached terribly. If it wasn't cracked, it was bruised to the bone.
She nodded at Kale. "Gomen-nasai....I'm a little twitchy right at the moment.....pleased to meet you." She paused, rubbed her shoulder, gengerly, gasping a little.

She turned back to Jason when he spoke to her, keeping her shoulder still, supporting her arm with her other hand.
"It's worse now that the adreniline wore off....I didn't feel it at first, but....It hurts. Bad bruise, maybe.....maybe pulled or something. I don't think it's broken....."

Dark put the phone back to his ear. "We'll be ready, need anything prepared?"

She hoisted her backpack over her good shoulder, smiled at Jason. "Heh, sorry, but you're shaping up to be the stubborn type."
Post by: Rikimaru on May 06, 2004, 03:07:14 pm
"cook? me? OK I'll try, I'm not very good though you'll have to tell me what to do."
Matt giggled and smiled at Dark, there was something about him that was...good, he just had this feeling that Dark is gonna be there.
"So who's coming? and what's cooking?" Matt said cheerily
Post by: Wanda on May 06, 2004, 03:45:58 pm
Wanda sat up sharply, tears in her eyes. For at least a month she'd been having these dreams, terrible nightmares, where what looked like a huge snow-leopard had been tearing at her; ripping her throat, hurting her, though no matter how much she cried out, she went unnoticed.
Slowly, she turned over and rolled off the edge of her bed, onto the ground. Her homework was there, scattered across the carpet, her great loopy writing scrawled over it. Yet, on every page, there was the same doodle; the snow leopard, looming, fangs bared. It was there when she was with friends, when she sang, when she dyed her hair pink...
Grumbling, she climbed to her feet. Lucy, her golden retriever, was nowhere in sight; strange, she was usually there, bounding about and wagging her tail. Wanda looked in the mirror... and blinked.
The snow leopard looked back, fangs open in pure amazement, whiskers twitching, tail swishing to the rhythm of the air around. She raised her hand and it raised its paw, copying as she picked up her brush and went to comb her hair; the same bright pink hair that was now atop the snow-leopard's head.
"Oh... Dear."
Post by: beyond the darkness on May 06, 2004, 04:54:33 pm
"Matt my friend, niether can I!"
He returned the phone to his pocket. He thought about what Kale had said about the bandages, he was sure he could use this ability he had but this was far more serious than what he had done before.
He looked at Matt again and felt a warmth come from him and he smiled again.
"Go through all the cupboards, I wanna see whats edible! Oh Kale said that one of them is called Murrg."
He walked towards the door,
"I'll be with you in a minute."
He sat down at the computer and checked his e-mails.

"You've got mail!" her laptop sang in its high-pitched, merry little voice. She tried to ignore it.
"You've got mail!" it cried again.
"Alright! Alright!" she snapped, grabbing it roughly and slamming it down on the cupboard. She read the message carelessly; it was a get-well-soon from her friend, but she wasn't too bothered right now. Inspired, she began to type;
Help... Don't know what is happening to me... Am turning into a snow leopard... Reply please.
With it she took some quick photos with her webcam and sent it to any address she could find, anyone and everyone, after all, she was quite good with computers.
Post by: Kale on May 07, 2004, 06:08:29 am
Kale nodded and grinned sheepishly "sorry, guess i was overreacting, i do that sometimes" He picked up the cooler bag easily and smiled. "we should go before they send more of those.... things after us"
Post by: Wanda on May 07, 2004, 03:35:25 pm
After waiting a few minutes, Wanda came to the conclusion that there was no help for her now; and no choice but to leave.
Sighing, she changed from her pyjamas into her usual black clothing, her tail sticking out from over her belt; a snow leopard tail is far too huge to hide. She packed what she could - clothes, laptop, food (stored sneakily in the wardrobe), mobile phone, and a cuddly toy lemur.
Her paw closed around a little clay dragon; her good luck charm. She'd be needing all the luck she could get, after all, she was hardly a brave person.
Sneaking downstairs, she realised her family was out - probably shopping, or visiting relatives. She would have liked to write a letter, a note, something to let them know where she was going... but there was nothing. She didn't know where she was going!
"Bye-bye house," she said quietly, stepping outside, her dragon clutched in her paw and her bag over her shoulder.
Post by: Rikimaru on May 07, 2004, 04:47:47 pm
'No not now.' He shouted at himself in his mind.
He shouted out to Dark.
"OK we got some bread, some tinned food, beans spaghetti and such, some fruit and veg, some sausages, eggs and bacon. That's all I could find!"
Matt wandered the house until he found Dark sat at the computer.
"Watcha doin? Oh checkin e-mails I see. You missing a special someone then?" He said with a nudge and giggled.
Post by: beyond the darkness on May 07, 2004, 05:08:24 pm
He had just finished the reply when Matt came into the room.
He grinned softly at the remark, "No, but we may have another visitor soon! I just hope everything you found will be enough. Come on"
He stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
Why won't you let me try and help you He thought to himself.
Post by: Rikimaru on May 07, 2004, 05:23:18 pm
Matt watched Dark go off to the kitchen and he caught a glimpse of a look of concern on his face.
"Oh can I check my e-mail a sec?"
Matt logged onto his account and he saw an e-mail from a friend, who was obviously worried about him.
it read
Hey Matt where the hell are you. I heard you got in a car accident and that you were in hospital, though I couldn't find you anywhere in any hospital here! What's going on? I'm worried about you we all are here please come back soon.
Matt was confused, who was this? he typed the reply
Hi, this is gonna sound wierd, but I have no idea who you are, your e-mail address rings a bell but I don't know who you are! I don't know what the hell happened but I know for sure it wasn't a car accident. I woke up in some clinic place and I had a tail! I'm somewhere in Leistershire now, something happened to me and basically I'm half human, half lion. I'm so scared but I found some others like me so I'm gonna stay with them to find out what's going on. I don't know when I'll be back but I will come back.
See you soon
Matt
Matt sent it and logged off, what was happeining to him? How did he end up like this? Pieces kept hitting him from the past and he couldn't grasp what happened. He sighed, smiled and strolled back to the kitchen.
"So what are we cooking then?" He said to Dark with a beaming smile...
Post by: beyond the darkness on May 07, 2004, 05:31:34 pm
He held his paws to his face and leaned against the kitchen door, why was he suddenly feeling so angry?
This new power, it was getting to him, he wanted to know how to shut it off, as he thought he could feel more conflicting emotions coming from Matt.
He sighed and began pulling all the food stuffs together trying to work out what to make.
He turned at Matts question and looked at him for a moment.
"There is no point to that fake smile," he said slowly, softly. "I know there is something wrong, maybe talking about it will help"
Post by: Rikimaru on May 07, 2004, 05:44:45 pm
"How can you tell? hmmm it's that power isn't it? you wanna learn how to use that before you hurt yourself. But yea something is wrong."
Matt leaned onto the work surface and sighed.
"My friends are starting to worry about me, I just don't know what happened. I'm so confused. Especially about what happened with the flashback. It's like I'm actually there when it's happening. I'm scared of what's going to happen to me if something bad happens. It's just my past. It's wierd. I don't know whether I want to know what happened or not."
Matt looked up with a tear in his eye
"I'm scared"...
Post by: beyond the darkness on May 07, 2004, 05:51:43 pm
He looked at Matt and then hugged him tightly.
"Come on bro! I liked you better when you smiled" he said grinning. "I'll be here if you need to talk ok? No matter what happens I'll stand by your side!"
Post by: Rikimaru on May 07, 2004, 05:59:51 pm
"I just don't want anything bad to happen. That's why I put on a smile. I don't want to worry anyone any more than they already are by what's happened to us. Just do me a favour and don't tell anyone about this, not unless it gets serious anyway. I think I'm gonna go lie down I'm tired, thanks for this man, we only just met and it's like your my big brother."
Matt smiled a little and walked off to the lounge and flopped onto the couch and stared at the ceiling, trying to sleep...
Post by: beyond the darkness on May 07, 2004, 06:09:45 pm
He breathed deeply, "Sorry for doing this without your knowledge". He put a paw on Matt's forehead, he allowed some of the many conflicting emotions to flow into him. He did not try to think about what they were, that would be disrespectful of Matt's privacy.
Once he felt he had drawn as much as it would take for Matt to sleep he removed his paw, physically and mentally drained.
He felt Matt drift into a deep, dreamless sleep.
"Your big brother will always be here for you".
He walked back into the kitchen wondering what to make.

"Yea...I don't want to run into any more....whatever those were."
She glanced over at Jason, then back to Kale. "Am...am I cracking up or did I see...damashi...one dark, one light, when it died?" She shuddered. The things scared her. Outright zombies she could deal with (preferrably with a chainsaw and boomstick), these things....well....

As he approached the door he tried to get a scence of the guest's emotions.
He could feel the fatuige, and happiness. He could also guess that it was Draska.
He opened the door slowly.

Her shoulder ached. She wondered how long it would take to get better, and how far away the 'safe place' was.
And, though she was trying not to think about it, she couldn't help wondering what they were up against.....
She glanced over at Jason, wondering what he was thinking about the situation....He seemed more or less calm. True, panic wouldn't help anything, but......
Her nose twitched. It was far off, but she smelled food....and she was hungry again. She wondered just what was going on, her body was burning everything she ate in a blazingly brief period of time....she wondered if her metabolism had sped up, or if, perhaps it was because of her powers......
Either way, she hoped they'd get to eat soon.....

Post by: Ukiko on May 21, 2004, 12:22:19 pm
She wasn't sure what to make of her newfound powers, or why any of them had changed into anthros.....frankly she didn't want to think too much about it.
She put her head down and walked on, saying nothing, but listening to the exchange as it played out. Her shoulder was aching steadily, and she wanted to rest....

The sounds of footsteps echoed through the night as Dallas ran from an unknown entity. He'd been lost for quite sometime. Losing his laptop and phone along the way. He had hidden himself away under a bridge in a hope he would lose whatever or whoever had been stalking him.
He peered out and noticed a phonebooth alongside the road. I have to contact Kale. he said scrambling up the river bank.
He reached into his pocket for the number and a little spare change that was left in the coat. He dialled the number and waited for a reply.
Please pick up....please.

He glanced once more at Kale then back at the girl before wraping his wings tighter and looking at the ground intently as he trudged on *Suppose I am over reacting a bit and pushing the questions a bit hard and that look from the girl must be making her nervous....damn it all* he thought sighing quietly and resting his hand on the swords hilt.

Also, the dull ache in her shoulder was growing steadily, along with her certainty that it was at least cracked. She was glad to see the cabin in the distance, she was tired, in pain. She started panting, her little pink tongue protruding between her sharp fangs.
She knew that if she met those....things....again, she'd have to be quicker, more careful. A broken shoulder was bad enough.....next time....who knew?

The figure edged nearer "And why should I do that? Several of your kind have already slipped through my fingers. You will remain here until the rest come to your aid. Just as I know they will.".
Dallas snarled. He was being used as bait to lure the others to this creature. As his anger began to build some unknown force started to well up inside him. He began slamming the walls again harder.
"Let me out of here. LET ME OUT!! Dallas' powers surfaced blowing the booth apart.
The dark figure backed away from the destruction. Dallas stood free but drained. Picking up a piece of metal from the debris he turned to face the figure.
"No more running....

She glanced from one to the other. "If I wasn't hurt......well....I was pretty fast when I was running. Not sure how fast, but.....it was quick." She looked at Jason with a little grin. "But I gotta admit.....he caught me."
Post by: Zero on July 14, 2004, 12:40:09 pm
"AHH!!", Dallas' attack is deflected and he is sent through air landing hard several metres from the figure.
"Fool! Your powers have only just surfaced. You don't stand a chance against me"
Dallas weakly pulls himself to his feet once more. "Just what are you!?", he demanded.
The figure began to slowly walk towards him. The air around him shifted un-naturally two more dark shades appeared from the darkness and began to approach.
"We are merely servants of a greater power sent to eradicate the guardians of old. Locked away for eons by your kind within the deepest reaches of the earth only to be released by a foolish mortal. In doing so he also set free the spirits of the warriors whose purpose was to never again allow our master into this world. One of them now resides in your body.....and we are here to releive you of your duty.
Their approach became faster they were attacking! Bracing himself Dallas prepares to fight.

She sighed then, wincing at her shoulder. "Hope we heal up faster than normal. Or something."
Looking around, she shivered. "It's kinda nerve-wracking out here. I don't mind the dark, and I can see in it but . . . let's get to the cabin..."

She smiled a bit. "Yeah. I'm a little hungry anyway. Don't know why. Hasn't been too long since Jason fed me. Maybe my metabolism's sped up since the change."
She looked over at him. "We doing this quiet, or should I call up some foxfire?"

"P-protect master....yesss!" Dallas raised his left paw slowly it tingled with power but quickly fizzled. "No! No this is wrong!" he blurted out.
"Do it! Destroy them!" the voice echoed with anger regaining control of Dallas' mind.
"I-I......will do as you wish". He raised his paw once more building energy. His attack was almost ready.

She glanced over at Kale, nervously, glanced around, and pointed at a log half-hidden in a dip in the field. "I don't know how stable that is, but....."
Her ears flattened as she looked toward the cabin, her tails swishing, agitated, little sparks of foxfire flickering green in their wake.

He tried to concentrate.
Its risky he thought. But it might work. Then again I might not be able to handle it! It might kill me!
He thought for a split second longer.
"Get him and hold him down!!" He yelled to Murrg. "I have an idea!"
Post by: Ukiko on September 24, 2004, 11:49:09 pm
I must get ahold of myself . . . once we're down there . . . we may have to fight.
She shuddered at the weird sense of . . . something . . . that was enveloping her, hoping it would end soon. Kale was powerful . . . it was a little frightening. She held fast to the Wakizashi, even though her free arm still throbbed at the shoulder. Let's hope whatever it is down there doesn't like the foxfire either . . . Maybe I can distract it if nothing else . . .

The blast struck him sending him a few feet through the air landing hard with a grunt. Uhh..what happened? My arm. It hurts.
You are a disappointment boy. No more games. I will finish this
Standing once more snarling with anger his eyes blazing deep red. He saw his attacker approaching. "Ah...the leader returns to his flock"
Post by: beyond the darkness on September 25, 2004, 04:22:09 pm
He turned to Murrg.
"I am asking you to trust me because we are on the same side here, I think I can put a stop to this but I am not strong enough to fight him!"
He watched the intruder get to his feet. Then glanced at Kale.
"You two, however are," he looked Murrg directly in the eye, he could feel his rage eminating from him like heat from an intense fire."Please, if you and Kale can imobolise (sp?) him I think I can do something.Please, I ask only this."

She glanced nervously from Kale to Murrg . . . someone nearby was bleeding, she could smell the blood . . .
She swallowed, eying their opponent, nervously. They all had powers . . . now their foe did as well . . .

Dark turned and looked for Matt, he saw him kneeling behind a bush, he could see the blood glistening in his fur.
He ran to him, and kneeled beside him.
"Are you ok?"
He turned to watch the ensueing battle.
Post by: Rikimaru on September 26, 2004, 05:23:23 pm
"Yeah bro I'm fine, it's just a scratch nothing serious" he said rather loud due to his hearing.
Matt looked around Dark at what was going on.
Post by: Zero on September 26, 2004, 06:41:37 pm
"Yes. He is indeed strong even at such an early stage. But do remember you're attacks aren't hurting "me", he said sneering.
"The host is weak and can no longer fend me off from his mind and I have you to thank. As of now this body is mine as is the power it possesses. Allow me to show you".
A dark shroud begins to encircle Dallas as several dark forms emerge. Two more shades appear to the sides of him.
"Now come! Show me your true power!"
Post by: Ukiko on September 27, 2004, 12:05:34 am
He's already hurt, it was my fault and now if one of those hits......
She was moving instantly, fast, faster than she thought possible, faster than any human, foxfire blazing green around her. "JASON LOOK OUT!!!"
She leaped. She knew even with a running tackle she was much too small and light to move him out of the way.
So she took the blast that was heading for him.
The foxfire seemed to dissapate the blast a bit, interfering with it.....but the force still flung her body, hard into the side of the cabin, on her already-injured shoulder. She heard it that time, the snap of bone like a whipcrack.
The pain was blinding, too much even to allow the release of yelping, screaming . . . nothing. She just fell, shivering with shock, her foxfire extenguished, the wakizashi clattering to a slow stop on the rocks next to her.

He ran to Yukiko's side, he know he had to do something to help her, he just didn't know if he could, he was also seriously worried about Murrg, his rage was beyond measure.
He put a paw on Yukiko's forehead, she was still alive.
He took a second to get his bearings and dragged her back to behind the bush. He turned to Matt.
"She'll be fine, we just need to keep her safe!"
Dark held his head in his paws.
"Too much..." he said as he begain to pass out.
Post by: Rikimaru on September 28, 2004, 04:55:21 pm
"You FREAK!" his father screamed at him.
"What do you mean!?" Matt was starting to cry now
"Just look at you! What the hell is wrong with you? why are you growing a TAIL!"
His flashback was over, he came round crying still from the flashback. It was more real than ever, though this was shorter than the rest he had. What was happening to him? he took his mind off that and focused on the two people in front of him....
"Bro? wake up bro!"
Post by: beyond the darkness on September 28, 2004, 05:24:03 pm
What can I do?
His own fear and anger just intesified the sensations he was feeling.
Then something clicked into place, he realised that what he sensed was like his own emotions, he couldn't control them, the was only one thing he could do. He stopped fighting what he was sensing from the others and accepted it, let them flow around him, into him.
His mind became clear again.
He felt Matt's fear, sadness and even guilt before he heard his vioce.
His eyes snapped open at his cry.
"It's ok," he said. "I'm fine...now"
He turned towards the fight.
"This has to end, and the only way to do that is to get him out."

She was dizzy, everything seemed almost surreal, blurry. With her good arm she pushed herself up to a sitting position.
What was I....? What's going on? She looked around, blearily. Oh . . . yes. Fighting . . . I've lost my sword . . . need to find that, that's Jason's....
She looked over at the lion, and the ferret. She felt detached, slightly confused. "Where's . . . hey, is Jason okay??"
She looked around, slightly panicked. "And Kale? Are they....?"

"Im so glad you're ok"
He noticed another newcomer to him staring at the fight.
"Hey you look pretty hurt, you should get a bit further back here, you can still see whats going on"
Post by: beyond the darkness on September 29, 2004, 05:16:53 pm
I wonder... he thought.
He could feel Kale's icy concentration, he latched on to it and used it to feed his own energy to Kale, helping him purge the wolf, he had only ever done this via touch and only then it was negative sensations but he was confident in what he was doing.
The only doubt, in the back of his mind was that the spirit would try and take over Kale or even himself...
Post by: Ukiko on September 29, 2004, 11:23:27 pm
She shook her head, slowly. "I . . . I should help . . . " She pushed herself to her knees, wondering why she felt so shaky. "Jason's hurt already . . . it's my fault, I should help him . . . " Her legs didn't seem to want to push her up. She frowned. "Nani . . . ? Atashi . . . yowai? Doshite . . . ?"

"Look I don't think you should go out there. Look at you. You're shaking and you can barely get up. You'd be an easy target for whatever the hell that thing is."
He crawled out a bit and offered a paw to her.
"It's alright, I'll do my best to help if you need any"
Post by: Zero on September 30, 2004, 05:47:43 pm
"Kale....you and the others are indeed stronger than my master previously predicted you have developed quite quickly in your awakening". He turned to Dallas' battered body his old wounds reforming.
"Hmm...I may have also over-estimated my own ability, perhaps a bit foolish to try and claim one of your fellow group". He turned back to kale and the others dark shadows encircling him as he approached.
"You wished to see my true power? Then come and you shall see".

He collapsed to the ground, trying to recover as much energy as he could.
He looked at Matt and grinned.
"Well, that went well" he said, passing out for the second time.
Post by: Rikimaru on October 01, 2004, 06:48:41 pm
"Bro you really gotta stop doing this. You're starting to scare me"
He looked back at whoever he was trying to help before.
"Well are you gonna come back here or not?"
Post by: Ukiko on October 02, 2004, 12:19:33 am
She looked at the lion, blearily. "Eh?" She glanced back to Jason and Kale, blinking slowly, then moved toward Riki and Dark, slowly. She still didn't seem able to stand, and everything seemed almost surreal . . .

Nearby Dallas was coming to. He ached badly as he pushed himself from the ground. His vision blurred in and out, but he could see a fight was taking place. He slowly sat up his pain subsiding slightly. He quickly noticed his left paw glowing softly. "My wounds...they're...healing".

This time there wasn't anything to do. Her head was clearing somewhat . . . she knew she couldn't get up, and sending a blast of foxfire would attract the shade's attention, and might not effect him anyway....the zombie things had flinched away from it, but this . . . was something different.
She looked at her companions, the ferret and the lion cub, nervously.

"My god! What have I done!? This is terrible". he cried as he turned to face the fight. There stood the shade fighting with the panther. He clenched his fists in anger. "That monster. He still lives yet". He looked towards Kale.
"Kale. We need light. Lots of it. It's the only thing that will weaken him".

Things moved so fast with the fight. She blinked, realizing slowly the fight was over.
She looked up, seeing Jason approaching. She sat up a little, wincing at the pain in her shoulder, and tried to focus on him. She blinked. "You're fuzzy." she giggled, giddily. "I mean, not fuzzy, even though you are . . . I mean, you know . . . fuzzy." She blinked a couple times, trying to focus on him.
"Are you okay?" She asked, worriedly. "Did you get hurt?"

He turned to look at the others deep in thought would they forgive him for the destruction he had brought upon them? Maybe, but maybe not. He was sure hatred for him would be strong at this point. Would it be better to just walk away?
He sat gazing up at the sky morning was approaching the sun rising in the distance. The light of day would keep them safe for now.

"i'm kale"
"no... im kale..."
"your anton, you merley chose the name kale."
"thats true. So what do you want from me"
"To give you a message"
Kale perked his ears, "go on," he replied warily
"you must wait a while, then take your band to egypt, seek out the legend of Rasakat"
Kale nodded "ok, i'll do it... as soon as ive finished my nap"
The voice chuckled "well, you chose your name well, your just like me" and with that slowly faded, leaving kale to his thoughts and his rest in the blackness.

Those guys are good, and they seem to be in the same predicament as I. Yet how do I know I can trust them? I'll observe them for a moment longer
The wolf backed into the shadows, becoming obscured by the black. No-one could see him unless some light glinted from his sword, guns or boots. He slid out of sight and into a nearby forest, where he felt most at ease. He sprinted for what seemed like miles, then randomly leapt into a tree. He sat and eyed around cautiosly. Hopefully no-one had noticed, but his fast running may have left foot prints. He stopped looking around and slept. The black clothes he wore would give him away if anyone dared look, yet so would the trenchcoat hanging down and the large sword on his back. He slept soundly, breathing slowly and silently despite being trapped in a nightmare.

"I'm . . . my shoulder hurts. I'm cold . . . " She shivered a little. "But . . . I think I'm okay other than that."

"Oh, yeah . . . I'm Yukiko . . . You can call me Yuki. I'm . . . I'm okay I think." She yawned. She still wanted to sleep. But her shoulder hurt, and she was cold.
She shook her head to wake herself up, then looked up when she heard Kale shouting . . . "N-nani . . . ? What's Jason doing . . . ?"
Post by: Running_Wolf on November 17, 2004, 12:46:58 pm
"Nalerenn, what are you doing this time? Tailing a bunch of people in your predicament but not tagging along? Trust you and your insecurity"
He may laugh about it now, but it'd been a problem his whole life. 'Abandonment issues' had been what his parents called it, but the problem rested with society as a whole, refusing to accept what he beleived. Now, they had to beleive it, as he had become what he beleived. He padded along back to where he spied on the group before, yet still watched from the shadows, watching their movements and how they acted to determine how they would react to him...

In his anger Dallas lashed out on a nearby tree. "DAMN IT!!.....It's all my fault".
He calmed down uncleching his paws. His left was glowing softly once more, without noticing.

"Hey." She panted, with a little crooked smile. Adrenaline and endorphins were wearing off, making the pain more acute. Still cradling her hurt shoulder, she leaned back on her good arm, placing her hand on the ground. Her fingertips encountered something soft, a roll of bandages. Good timing, she figured it must have been dropped in all the excitement. She curled her hand around it, absently.
She looked back up at Jason. "So." She said, with a little, worried smile. "This isn't going to feel good, is it?"

"I knew it" he spat, his voice soinding rougher than a gravel path. "You try to help somebody and get it thrown in your face, just like always"
Nalerenn manouvred his sword into a defensive position, ready to retreat into the shadows as soon as the first blow was thrown.
"You can never escape the rejection" he growled.
Post by: Ukiko on November 29, 2004, 01:57:30 pm
"Hey, come on . . . " She said, calmly, to both of them. "We're all a little high-strung here. Can we maybe talk first . . . ?"
She was worried, Jason seemed the 'shoot first, ask questions later' type. And as banged up as he was, she feared he may not have another brutal fight left in him.
Post by: Running_Wolf on November 29, 2004, 03:08:51 pm

"Look, if I had wanted to kill you, I would've done it by now! I said I didn't want to hurt anyone, I just wanted to help you! You just HAD to go for your sword first, so I defended myself. And then you call ME the hasty one? I would explain it to you, but there's two things stopping me. One. You just have to be a badass 24-7. And two. You wouldn't understand what I've been through!"
He stood still for a second longer, then fell to his knees, his sword falling by his side. Murrg had hit him right where it hurts; his fear of rejection. Nalerenn felt this was rejection, anyway. Nalerenn was on paws and knees now, trying hard to hold back tears that would have inevitably have flown if he was alone.
"No-one understands what I've been through" he whispered.

She looked down a bit, black hair falling over one eye as she tried to think of a reply.
"Ano . . ." She hesitated. "I . . . don't know quite what to say about the others. This is certainly different and very stressful, but . . . We seem to be in this together. We seem to be on one side, those of us who have . . . changed. I wonder if Kale's right, and something big is happening here. I guess . . . " She smiled a little, almost sadly. "I have to admit, I'm not as strong as you. Not hardly. On my own I don't think I'd last." Her green eyes flicked up to peer through her hair at the blood caked in his fur. "Though I think you might be better off if you weren't babysitting me . . . "
She winced a little as she shifted, the motion causing a little stab of pain in her shoulder. She thought the new wolf had something he'd offered . . . "But I imagine you have your own reasons for being . . . suspicious of others."
She sighed a bit, head down, thick black hair cascading into her eyes. "As for the other question . . . " She frowned, deeply, a little green foxfire flickering at the ends of her twiching tails. "I . . . didn't really think about what might happen to me. I guess I imagined that the foxfire might shield me a bit. But . . . I was afraid with you hurt, if you took that blast . . ." She shook her head, not looking up at him. "I didn't want to see you hurt. And . . . I don't think you're a cold creature. If you were you would have left me or . . . something. I've been absolutely nothing but a burden on you."
And everyone else . . .
Post by: Murrg on December 05, 2004, 12:43:28 am
He knelt wings falling limp as he stared at the floor "As to you being a burden....its one I'll take without remorse...I dont trust easly but.....for some reason it feels right...you and the others but you mostly...perhaps it wasnt chance we met ehh?..truth be told I was not on a trip to the forest I was called there for some reason...mabey...this was it...mabey not but...I'll apologize for my actions to the formaly possed one but the other....I will not harber a grudge for him drawing on me when my blade remaind sheathed..." He continued voice weak and tierd "Even if you did what you did for no reason I still make my offer...tis your call" he finished. "It seems right friend mabey this is my duity?"
Post by: Ukiko on December 05, 2004, 01:15:24 am
She blinked, startled, her eyes widening slightly. "I . . . don't . . . " She looked down at him, a bit shyly. "T-thank you . . ." She said, softly. "I . . . didn't really do anything but . . . thank you . . . "
A shimmer of foxfire sparked at the white tips of her tails as she looked down, embarrassed. Still . . . his words also made her sad. No one's ever done anything like that . . . ? She wondered about his past. What it must have been like for him to say that . . . part of her wanted to reach out and touch his shoulder, or something. Some comforting gesture . . . but she wasn't sure if she should. She was a bit shy all of a sudden. She put her hand to her chest, toying with her necklace, looking down, embarrassed and a bit sad for him. "I don't deserve that . . . " She murmured. "I . . . " Her eyes slid away, shyly. She didn't want to reject his thanks, even if he was much too serious about it . . . "Thank you . . . " she murmured, a little awkwardly.

She looked up at him, through her hair, still a bit puzzled and concerned by his earlier actions. She had a sneaking suspicion that she still didn't fully grasp his intentions toward her. It was like . . . he was her own personal Samurai. She wasn't sure how to feel about that. True it was comforting to have someone so strong willing to protect her . . . but at the same time it felt odd.
She hesitated to ask what moved him to the declaration, exactly. And who 'him' was that he'd mentioned . . . How he'd known the wakizashi was for her . . .
She winced a bit as she shifted. The pain had become a deep ache, except when she moved and it stabbed . . .

"What, so I'm with you now? After the 'I'm so worthless' speech?"
He scowled at Murrg, then sighed and shook his head.
"Forget it. I'll just stick around here"

So many seeds have been sown in the field
And who could sprout up so blessedly, If I had died
I would have never felt sad at all
You will not hear me say I'm sorry
Where is the light, I wonder if it's weeping somewhere
Here's a lullaby to close your eyes goodbye
It was always you that I despised
I don't feel enough for you to cry, oh well
Here's a lullaby to close your eyes goodbye
She sang the dark lullaby, softly, not even really sure what made her choose that particular song. She stopped, ears flicking back, and her head turning as she looked at Murrg as he entered, a little embarrassed. "K-konbanwa . . . ah . . . hello . . ."

She glanced away. She didn't want to start getting overly worried, and causing her companions any more stress. It was jarring, the change, the zombie things. All very confusing and upsetting.
"A bit dark . . . a bit lovely."

He knelt down and went through the pack Murrg had left and pulled out what looked like a squashed sandwhich. He pulled out another one offering it to Kale.

She looked at her charcoal-gray-furred arm, wondering, even with the tourniquet if she would find a vein under that, much less puncture it with a needle.
And . . . exactly what dosage would she need? She could possibly self-administer too little to help, or too much and go into a coma or . . .
She frowned, struggled with the tourniquet a bit, applying it to her injured side, searching for a vein with her fingertips. Well. She found what she imagined was one. Either that or a tendon . . . which probably wouldn't be pleasant to put a needle in . . .
"Er . . . how much is in a dose exactly . . . ?" She looked over at him, brows knitted. "And . . . er, is this a vein here?" She wondered where he'd gotten all this . . . stuff. And why he was carrying it around.

Well . . . it will if we all stay like this. I wonder how long we will.
She was also surprised with how much she actually disliked the thought of marring her fur, when she'd not in fact wanted it to begin with . . . interesting.
Post by: Murrg on December 22, 2004, 01:35:59 am
"There It wont show up bad and will grow back..asumming this is permanet and all....now *he said picking up the needle again* this should kick in fast but like i said i cant know how you may have changed other than looks so its a smaller does than normal so you wont go under...and wil still be ok in the head just kinda fuddled and what not...also it may still hurt abit im afraid.." he said as he administered the pain killer and stepped back to grab some rappings.

She nodded a bit, and waited, a slow warmth running through her as the medicine took effect. It was pleasant, it was surprising how good it felt to be rid of the dull throb in her shoulder, even if it was just for awhile. She smiled, giving a little foxpurr. "That's . . . so . . . much better."
She sighed, relaxing . . .
Post by: Murrg on December 27, 2004, 10:36:48 am
He nodded and picked up a roll of binding "As I said before if its a break where I think it is All I can do is rap it tightly and warn you not to use that shoulder *he paused* Reguardless it will be unpleasnt...and im afraid I didnt Bring many pain killers of this strength and at this rate...they may be needed again reguardless I shall continue with the binding at your lesure".

IC:
A young figure moved towards the cabin. Covered in blood, sweat and tears he dragged himself as fast as he could. The bullet wound to the shoulder and the knife hanging from his tail slowed him down a great deal. The pistol he carried was empty though this bought him a false sense of security. His torn clothes were barely fit for anyone to wear, only really covering the essentials. He almost lost conciousness on several occasions on the way and as he finally got to the cabin he fell through the front door and as the gun flew about two feet in front of him he lay on the floor unconcious.

"Er, I have a one-sleeved shirt in my backpack . . . er . . . " She'd have blushed if it werent for the fur. ". . . maybe I should change into that . . . otherwise, er . . . " She was a little embarrassed that she hadn't thought of that sooner.
A clatter from the next room stopped her from completing the thought, her sharp, dark ears snapping toward the sound, green eyes widening, a little rush of foxfire crackling silently between her hands.
"What was that . . . ?"

He knelt down infront on the newcommer "Hmm somone did a number on you sloppy but still.." He though Kneeling and taking a pulse "KALE *He shouted* You should see this" he poked his head back in the room the girl was in "Wait here your wounds are gonna have to wait a bit I'm afraid. The pain killers will make it berable so change into your shirt" He said grabing the bag from the floor

She wondered what was going on, and followed the sound of Murrg's voice, poking her head out, her eyes widening at the young fur lying on the floor. She went over quickly, kneeling beside him, glancing up at Murrg. "This is terrible . . . " She said, softly, worriedly.

"Dammit! That hurts so much!"
He looked up to his surprise to find another fur beside him, he was breaking seals of something and the cub flipped and dragged himself into a nearby corner. He sat himself against a wall and was shaking from fear and pain.
"What do you want with me? who are you?"

"I know it's frightening . . . but you're among friends here. We can help take care of your wounds . . . if you let us." She said, gently, reaching out with her uninjured arm, offering her paw, palm up, her tails swishing around her. "We're friends . . . no one's going to hurt you."

"Well...I woke up...and I was like...this and then my parents, locked me in my room for 2 days until I managed to escape. Dad went crazy...gun...shot." he grabbed the exit wound in his shoulder, it was clearly a powerful gun that shot him "It hurts so much. My mom also got a hit in, she stabbed me in my tail a few hours before I escaped, thats what made me escape. I don't know which is worse, the physical pain of my wounds or the mental pain of knowing that everyone I cared about hates me. I was driven from my town, my parents shouting that I was a demon. A lot of the villagers chased me but I kept running and I found this place..."
He fell to his knees again...and cried
"I even shot...my best friend..."

If Kale's right, and something's coming we have to save the world from . . . the obvious question is going to be if it's worth saving . . .
She winced slightly, jarring her shoulder as she leaned toward him, though the painkillers certainly were doing their job. She felt almost lightheaded, and rather mellow despite everything.
"You're among friends now." She said, softly.

He limped away fighting back his anguish. He collapsed against a wall clasping his head in his paws tears falling from his eyes. He felt so awful for this small cub and for the destruction he had caused while under Drasea's control. He composed himself looking at both his paws concentrating.
He remembered the strange energy that had emanated from them as he had regained control of his body.
*I did it once. I can do it again I know I can.
He went to a small tree damaged from the fight and sat looking at it. He placed a paw on it and closed his eyes.
*come on...come on...I know I can do this*

Right now he was in a dream world, where he was in his current form, but his friends had failed to notice the change and they were all still laughing and joking in college like they used to do. Smiles on everyones faces, including his.
His dream caused his physical self to shed a tear, though his dream prevented his awareness of anything that went on around him...
