[hider=story]You are a citizen of the city of Blood Stone. You sit at home and turn on the TV. On is a commercial you have never seen before. You turn up the volume and watch as a beautiful building is shown on the screen. Then two male voices comes on and brings you into deep thought.
“Hello, are you fascinated with those other worldly creatures? The shape shifters? Need someone to talk to? Or just want to show up those snotty neighbors? Come on down to Twin Blaze’s Companion Shop! And we will find you the pet of your dreams!”

You click off the TV and grab your keys. You have a pet or two to buy… [/hider]

[color=orange]Taiga woke earlier than the two owners for the shop most mornings. These mornings that she did she ventured down into the shop and looked over all the cages. The cages were mainly just for the night, a place for them all to sleep. During the day, all the shifters were allowed out of their cages, however, it was required that they remain as animals, so long as there were buyers in the shop. The only shifters allowed to remain as human were Mav and Shik's own pets, as Taiga often helped out during the day. Taiga hated the thought of selling off any of these people but she knew that this way she at least was able to ensure that they ended up is good homes.

She flicked on the light to the main room of the shop and looked over all the shifters, "Morning," She said quietly. 

She went immediately to little Opal's cage and opened it. The little cheetah jumped up into her arms with amazing speed. She sighed and wrapped her arms around her. Taiga had a soft spot of the little ones... 

She carried the girl around as she opened the rest of the cages. She looked over them all, "Breakfast is in the back room," She told them all, "You choose how you eat." 

Shifters all had different preferences as to how they ate, as humans or animals, so Mav and Shik had gave the option for either. She looked over her shoulder at the sign on the door and flipped it to open before she took a seat with Opal behind the counter. She placed Opal on her lap and allowed for the young girl to shift and lean against her. She ran her hand over her hair and smiled, "How are you doing, Opal?"[/color]

[color=oldlace]I don't like nighttime," Opal replied quietly.[/color]

[color=orange]"I know... I used to not like nighttime either... but it grows on you. Now, go get some food," Taiga patted the little girl's leg before she hopped off her lap and headed into the back room to eat.[/color]
