Ebony had just finished a training session with her father. It was a tiring workout but now she had to run perimeter before going back to the pack house and helping cook dinner for the back. She went behind a tree and stripped before shifting. She left her clothes behind in a pile as she began running. Her black paws pushing her as she felt the wind blow through her white and black fur. It felt good to be in wolf for again. Her wolf howled for happiness as Ebony relaxed giving full control to her wolf for the time being. Chances of anything happening while she ran perimeter were low. Nothing ever really happened so she let herself relax.

She ran bare foot into the forest, her eyes scanning around. She knew she is entering werewolf territory, but she thinks that the werewolves like her. She has tried to help them out as much as she can. Her pure blue dress swings around her ankles as she scans the forest. She needs to get to the lake as fast as she can so she can practice her abilities. She gently glides her fingers over some of the plants, drawing the water out of them before replacing it back in them once more. River suddenly hears a howl and pauses. She knows there is a wolf near. She continues, slower now, so she doesn't startled whoever is out here.

Ignore!

Celest yawned and streched her legs flexing her paws a bit, 'Did i fall asleep in the forest again?' She wondered and looked around she sniffed the air, and caught the scent of a fellow wolf from her pack and howled calling out to it, she also caught the scent of something else and growled a bit, then ignored it. Celest began to trot to a clearing, that was normally where the pcak met and discussed things. there was a den not too far from here where they slept together sometimes. Celest stood firm and awaited the others, surely they had heard her loud howl, but if not she howled again but this time it sounded very impatient. SHe was a fair alpha but always no matter what the circomstances she demanded respect and loyalty, But also she could be fun and goofy.. It is confusing to her sometimes because she wants to be a leader whom is loved and respected not feared.

Rich had closed up the bookstore about an hour ago, relieved to be outside at last. He was heading toward the forest to spend some time meditating, contemplating, and perhaps writing, and a cool breeze that ruffled his thick hair made him whine softly as he resisted the urge to transform and run. The sound of howling sent a chill down his spine and reminded him that he was walking straight into harm's way. Still, the forest called to him, and how could he resist, after being cooped up in a book store all day? _Just be careful,_ he told himself. _You've been out here before, for days on end, and they haven't found you yet._ He pushed a vague longing to the back of his head, chose a small, quiet clearing and sat down. His eyes shifted quickly; he was on the alert for trouble because those howls had sounded close by.

Allie stared out the window of her small home, gazing into the forest. Technically her home was within the town's borders, but it was much closer to the forest than the town itself and this made her feel isolated. She didn't like being so far away from civilization, however it was for her and the humans' own good. Throat burning, she didn't need to look up at the sky to see that it was going to be getting dark soon. She had to wait until it was pitch black out to risk hunting. She had been aware of the werewolves' presence for a long time and thought she caught the scent of something else-a witch maybe? She was used to the werewolves-she had been feeding from the animals in the forest for ten years now. She always tried to hunt when she knew they weren't around, but she wouldn't be surprised if they were aware of her.

Her legs swung from the tree branch she was perched upon. Ramona had her lighter in her hand, flicking the trigger and letting the flame burn slowly. She manipulated fire, throwing it, shaping it, even engulfing herself in it without a single burn, but creating it was something she could not accomplish so her lighter was always with her. Ramona let the howls roll past her ears without a response. She clasped the lighter top shut then crawled back down the tree to the ground. Her black tight leggings were tucked into her mid-calf black combat boots and her deep red top dipped into a V in the front and flowed in the wind from the sheer material. She opened the lighter and flicked the trigger, bringing the flame alive again. Her hand waved over the flame and the fire moved to her hand. She put the lighter back in her pocket and formed the flame into a large circular ball, throwing it back and forth from hand to hand as she walked back toward her home through the Forrest slowly.

Ebony picked up the scent of a rogue in the area shortly after her alpha called for a pack meeting. Somewhere in the scent was something that intrigued her but she ignored it and trotted to where she left Her clothes she grabbed them and shifted back to human putting on her clothes then running to the clearing. Ebony went over to her alpha and bowed slightly in respect. "Alpha." She said before looking up at her alpha. "May I have permission to go deal with the rogue in our territory?" Ebony asked

Celest had shifted into her human form and had some clothes hidden in the bushes, she changed into them quickly and smiled when ebony had joined her. "I'll go with you, Theres always saftey in numbers Ebony" she said firmly and crossed her arms showing that this wasnt up for debate. She smiled at her and said "When we approch him, Be nice ok? He could very well want to be apart of the pack and i dont want to scare him off.. yet" She let out a soft giggle.

Ramona continued to walk as she turned the fire over and over in circles in the palm of her hand. She heard some chattering in the distance then a giggle. She paused for a moment, holding the fire in her hand as a burning blue flame. She didn't know who the chattering belonged to until she took a couple more steps and saw two distant figures. She kept walking slowly, keeping the corner of her eye on the figures. Two together? Probably werewolves. She laughed softly as she made the fire into a wold figure with the wave of her hand and then back into a flame that she tossed from hand to hand.

Unaware of the possible danger that would soon be heading his way, Rich stayed on the alert for around five more minutes, and then leaned back against a tree and closed his eyes, taking a deep breath, and allowed himself to relax. How wonderful it was to let the smells of the wilderness flow through him, as opposed to the mustiness of a book store! He let out a happy sigh. "Ahhhh..." The only thing that could make the moment better was getting rid of the smell of the pack that lingered in his nostrils. One such scent was oddly sweet and kind of pleasant, but the knowledge that a band of werewolves who could rip him to shreds in moments seemed just _a little_ more important right now. "Relax!" he muttered to himself. "I'll cross that bridge when I come to it." He took out a journal and started describing in detail the flora around him.

Ebony nodded. "But if things go bad you know to let me protect you if needed. We can't be losing our Alpha." Ebony said before going behind a tree and stripping. She shifted and lead the way to the rogue. When they got near the rogue she stayed in the bushes watching him silently. 'How could he just be relaxing while in pack territory. What the hell?!' Ebony thought as a slight growl escaped her lips.

Allie couldn't take it anymore. She swiftly exited her house and perched herself up on the roof, crouching like a cat in waiting. The smell of werewolves was beginning to become overwhelming. They weren't dispersing and she could sense a small group of them together. As she scanned the area, she thought she saw...blue fire? What on earth was going on? Her thirst was so strong that she thought she would have to drink her own blood. She hadn't fed in days and needed it terribly. She felt cornered. There were too many werewolves around and she could detect a couple of unknown presences. If the werewolves caught her hunting and they weren't the friendly kind, she could easily be overtaken. The need to drink took over. Jumping to the ground, she dashed through the forest in search of a meal.

Harumi flew over the forest on her bird familiar. Her curls flying out behind her due to the wind.

The smells hit him like a tsunami wave. They were close. Here, maybe, hiding, ready to disembowel him. The soft sound of a growl confirmed his suspicions, and he slammed the journal shut before standing up in a matter of a couple seconds. He backed against the tree, muscles stiffening again, heart pounding, breathing quickening. He dropped the book. "I know you're there!" he said, his voice much more steady than he felt. He knew it was a fine line between acting too aggressive and too submissive, so he tried to stay neutral.

River hears the growl come from a little ways over and she pauses, her feet sliding in the wet grass. She looks over in the direction and notices two young women a few yards away. Werewolves. She recognizes them from one of the packs from around here. She hurries on, not wanting to be involved in a pack war. She hurries down farther a little ways and notices the gleaming silver surface of the lake a few yards away. She smiles and hurries toward it, shedding off her dress as she runs. She sets the dress down by the edge of the lake and walks to the edge of it. She takes a deep breath and runs into the water, as far as she can. The transformation is immediately. She has yet to be in the water a full minute when she sees the glittering, silvery-blue tail that is now her own. Her legs melted together to form this thing. She smiles and dives under the water, splashing and kicking around. She practices swimming for a little bit before practicing her magic, making it move the water of the lake.

Ebony remembered her Alpha said try to be nice so she decided to transform. She trotted out still in wolf form and went over to big tree and slipped behind it. She shifted and got dressed in the clothing she had carried in her teeth. She walked out from behind the tree and looked towards the guy. Her eyes looked at him but they had yet to make eye contact. "Look at me." She said trying to keep her voice steady. Her alpha would come out any minute now but for now she would talk to the rogue.

Ignore!!

Allie had finally caught the scent of an animal-a small rabbit. It wouldn't fill her up much, but it would work for the time being. She blindly chased after it, her hunger taking over the rational part of her. By the time the rabbit was in her grasp and her fangs were almost at its neck, it was too late. She stopped dead in her tracks, her fangs aching from resisting the urge to bite. She had ran right into the middle of the three werewolves. Her eyes, bloodshot from not feeding, frantically flew back and forth between each werewolf. "Oh, crap."

Celest stayed in the cover of the woods watching Ebony and the rouge she growled lowly, waiting to see if he was going to be a threat or not. Celest layed down and squinted at them listing to thier conversation. then a vampire flopped in front of her, Celest eyed her for a second and growled lowly and snapped her teeth at her in a warning to move along.
