Street Kids

*Vince looking serious now* I make no excuses for these men and I assure you they will be dealt with I just didn't want anymore violence infront of the little one there but you can not tell me you that in your group there is no one with different views of life and death, I seem to remember you're allied with that Hood fellow that attacked Miyako after she assisted you. I promise you as long as I live no one will harm any of you, just don't judge this pack for the acts of two fools that have only recently been brought into the pack. *Vince sighs and starts to leave* I served your mother for years loyally I was hoping you would be more like her but I guess I'm just a foolish old dog for thinking so. I will see to it you are not disturbed. *Vince leaves and goes down into the alley waits for the two that attacked the girls being escorted by two others. Vince wastes no time or words before the red head even sees Vince he's grabbing his throat but it's to late his head rolls off his shoulders and falls at his buddies feet. His friend starts to run but he doesn't get half a step before he feels a fist go though his back and out his chest the last thing he sees is a fist holding his heart. But Vince isn't done lifting him over his head and as if he was a piece of paper rips him in two and throws him against the wall. One of the escorts holding a towel hands it to Vince so he can wipe his hands.* Get someone to dispose of this trash! I have to go call Christian.
 
Still pressing both body and face closely against May, in the manner of a child several years younger than she actually is, Caroline only takes brief peeks back at Vince every so often as he, Sheena, and May talk. She feels very small and very helpless in the face of the three of them and especially the other pack members who to her must be lurking around every corner, ready to attack. She doesn't say anything yet, not comfortable speaking anymore in the presence of even Vince for fear that somehow she will, as she almost always does, say something wrong.


Sheena would normally be panicking over the men and the possibility that they would hurt her, that they would force her...control her. But her time spent taming her wolf, her mother's presence in her mind, and May's support have now served to increase her confidence level, at least for now, and she is not afraid at all. No, she is pissed off, that those guys would even think of trying to force her or May to do anything they didn't want to, that they would dare to comment about Caroline, let alone touch her.


Yes, Vince had saved Caroline. But she and May would have too...and how can she be sure he's not doing it to try to win points with her somehow before dropping the anvil on her head?


Lifting her chin, she says to him pointedly, "Doing violence in front of Caroline, like ripping a guy's hand off? Violence like that?"


Shaking her head as he continues, she raises her voice, increasingly angered by his words as she shoots back at him, "Views of life and death that are different? What the hell does throwing a kid against a wall because she's not ENTICING enough for someone have to do with different points of VIEW? What does forcing someone to let you do whatever the hell they want have to do with different OPINIONS? Your little friends here threaten to rape me and May and talk about Caroline like she's nothing, and you think that Hood losing his temper on a grown woman is the same thing? A grown woman who basically held a stick up?! Hood would NEVER hurt Caroline, and he would NEVER comment on her body or threaten to do what your little friends wanted. How the hell you can compare Hood to them is beyond me...and what the hell, I'm not like my mother?! Because I don't want to join a pack that would rape people and hurt a little girl?! Maybe I am like my mother because she sure fled your PACK as soon as she could! Or maybe I'm not. Because my mother married a loser. My mother married a man who hurt her and her little girl and MURDERED her...and I will never, ever do that."


Looking him in the eye, she slipped her arm through May's, holding her against her as an anchor to prove her point. "I know what I want and need in my life right now, and it's not the kind of men my mother left or the kind of men my mother reached out to."


With this said she follows their escort out to the indicated area where Caroline can shower, waiting for her to emerge, calmer as well as cleaner, before following the escort outside to the vehicle as indicated.
 
"Well I am sure your time will be a lot more exciting than mine," Rhys said. "Then again I haven't been down there in years, so who knows? Maybe I'll have to go on some epic underwater quest to see my family again."


Rhys smiled at the thought. It wasn't particularly dangerous down there in the sea. It wasn't all rainbows and lollipops, but Rhys had handled the dangers well enough as a child. He was sure after some time underwater, he'd get the hang of things.



"Just don't do anything too crazy without me okay?" Rhys looked at Devin and sighed deeply. He was going to miss them all and he wondered what might happen while he was always. As selfish as the thought was, he hoped Devin did not find someone while Rhys was gone. Some part of him, some deluded part of him, hoped that he could convince the man to give him a chance.



They reached the beach soon enough and for a moment, Rhys was hit with a wave of sorrow. He turned to say his goodbyes, when he noticed they were not alone. A girl seemed to be on the beach as well. Rhys shifted nervously. Well he very well couldn't change into a merman in front of her. He wondered if she was going to be long.



"Well here we are," he said dully.



 
Jason looked over at Devin as he talked, nodding along and smiling at the quip. "I'll try not to bloody my face too much, then." He supposed that he'd gotten used to jokes about blood now? Eh. The word itself sort of began to loose its emphasis when the actual thing was around.


It did seem that danger was always present. It'd been a couple days since anything bad had happened, but for the first few days it had been one dangerous venture after another. "Well I am sure your time will be a lot more exciting than mine," said Rhys, but Jason wasn't sure that "exciting" was quite the right word. "Just don't do anything too crazy without me okay?" Rhys hadhad been talking to Devin, but Jason jumped in; "That's perfectly fine with me! I'd love it if we caught some sort of break."


They reached the beach, and Jason dug his feet in the dirty sand. This wasn't exactly the best beach ever; the sand looked more like gravel. There was the ocean though, finally appearing over a hill.


The boy paused to appreciate it for a little. The waves stretched all the horizon, seeming larger than he'd remembered. Home to the mermen. Rhys sounded sort of down; maybe he really did regret leaving.


Jason noted the girl on the beach. "Should we... Go farther down?" asked Jason, motioning down the beach away from the stranger.
 
Much like the people standing on the shoreline noticed Pandora she also noticed the three, looking them over. A rather small smile upturned her face as she finally waded out of the water, approaching the three of them. Her amber eyes seemed to meet with each of them in turn as she simply passed by, leaving only slightly chilled air and an offset feeling.


Those were the people she was looking for alright, but they seemed to have business at the shoreline she didn’t need to attend to. So while she was still eerily close and looking at the three of them, she was truly waiting patiently for them to finish. The girl seemed to stare through them though, looking oddly weird and creepy.
 
Devin grinned, rubbing the back of his neck, "Uh, not sure exciting is the word..." He muttered this though, frowning a bit. If Calius had sent those shape shifters after him - or whatever the animal-beasts were, Lycan's couldn't smell the difference between human and shape-shifter - then he was sure to send more. He obviously still wanted revenge for what Devin did to Calius's 'house' to his 'guards', and Devin knew Calius, he knew he would stop at nothing to get it, to get him, and May. But why had he taken so long? Had it really been that hard to find him and May?


Well, May perhaps, she was a shape-shifter, they tended to be hard to track down - as Devin himself knew.


But no. Not exciting, more like dangerous. Rhys warned Devin not to do anything crazy, then Jason chirped up, saying he wanted a break, and Devin chuckled awkwardly once again, looking down as he pushed the sand around lightly with his foot. "Um yeah...about that....we might not be able to..." He looked up, beginning to speak properly, "You see, those guys, back in the house, they were sent by someone, and he kinda wants me dead...His nam--" He trailed off as he spotted the girl. She smiled in an extremely creepy way, and just when Devin thought she was leaving, she stopped. Watching them.


His eyes narrowed. Was she one of Calius's? He didn't tend to hire woman, unless he was hiring them for body purposes. But who knows what he did now? He never used to have supernatural guards, infact Devin was his first, so maybe he was hiring guard woman aswell? Still seemed unlikely.


Devin turned his face slightly so that the girl couldn't see what he was saying, or even that he was looking at her, and he spoke in a hushed whisper to the two guys, "Anyone else notice the creepy girl watching us? Should we say Hi or something?" In his experience, best way to throw the enemy off was to interact with them naturally.


-------------------------


May would have been glaring at Vince as he spoke, but for now Caroline was her main concern, Caroline, who is showing behavior much younger than she is, and May cannot blame her. After what those men said, after what they did and almost did, she just hugs the girl close. No. She cannot blame her.


She stills strokes the girl's hair softly, just looking down at her for now, as Sheena's voice begins to rise and as she shouts at Vince. She cradles Caroline close as she does this, obviously she wouldn't be scared of Sheena, she shouldn't be anyway, but any kind of violence or raised voices could startle the girl right now. She is proud of Sheena now, rather than getting freaked out by the men, or getting upset about Vince's mention of her Mother, she is making valid points. Hood would never do that to Caroline. And even though May doesn't and never knew Sheena's mother, she is sure if her Mother is as great as Sheena says she was, then she must be like her.


When Sheena links arms, talking about knowing what she wants, implying who she wants in her life. Basically saying it's not men. May smiles and looks to her warmly. May. She wants May. Even though she has not directly said this May knows it is true. So true. And she wants her. She is beaming as they leave to the car, and she is holding Caroline tightly by the hand, as though she is scared someone will come and take her away from them. When they get into the car, May in the middle of both girls, she looks to Sheena, her shoulers are touching both girls' shoulders' as though she knows they both need her support, even if Sheena is stronger now, she still may need May to help her. "So, where are we going?" May had somehow managed to miss that, and she smiled at Sheena, "That was great by the way, how you spoke to Vince back there." She grinned at her, nudging her every so lightly in the side, "I think taming your wolf has had a good effect on you."
 
(Calius, not Calico...right? This isn't Castouts lol)


In the backseat of the escort's car, Caroline huddles against May, her hand still gripping the older girl's as her heartbeat gradually begins to slow. Her dark eyes are still very round and stunned in appearance, though, as she finally is able to bring herself to speak in a hushed whisper.


"May...he just ripped his hand off..." She swallows, her fingers squeezing harder, as she adds, "They were gonna...what were they gonna do to you and Sheena? They were talking about me not having boobs...is that...because I was talking about bras?"


"No," Sheena said quickly, shaking her head firmly, and she reached over May briefly to pat Caroline's leg. Her lips thinned, almost whitening as she thought again of those men touching Caroline, looking and commenting about her...about her and May. Thinking now about them, she feels sick...but not frightened, as she would have before. Not helpless...just angry at the idea that they could even think of such a thing. But not afraid. She feels now that she has no reason to be afraid, at least, not of those men. Maybe of Christian...but maybe not. Maybe she is strong enough now that she can always get the best of anyone who might want to hurt her.


"It wasn't anything about you or anything you did, Caro, they were just sick bastards," she told the girl, shaking her head again. "Don't worry about them. Me and May will always make sure they won't hurt you."


"What did they want to do to you?" Caroline asked again, and Sheena exhaled, not replying. She was glad when May distracted the conversation, showing her pleasure with Sheena's earlier conduct, and seeing May's pride, Sheena smiles back, partly self conscious, partly pleased. The truth is, she's proud too.


"We're going to get stuff we need, I guess," she says, then, to Vince, asks, "Why do I need to even be here anymore though? I tamed my wolf...is there still stuff I need to know, or am I staying the other two nights just to make sure?"
 
*The car the girls are in is idle waiting for a van in front of them to move out of the driveway, a man in a dirty jumpsuit, leaning against it's back doors, when the doors to the club open up and Vince and 4 others come out carrying what look like 2 body bags, the man in the jumpsuit opens the doors to the van to load the bags when one of the men stumble and drops his end of the bag which falls open and a head with red hair rolls out the bag. They quickly pick it up and toss it in the van. Vince stands there as the van pulls out but then a black Suv pulls in and slams to a stop, suddenly Christian who was on his way to the airport with Miyako jumps out and gets in Vince's face.*


Christian: WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED? I trusted you to protect them, how the hell did two mutts even get access to that floor!


*Vince actually looks afraid, not even after to look Christian in the eyes despite him having at least a half a foot on Christian.*


Vince: I'm sorry Christian, I don't know how they got in I'm looking into it and I've put them both down so there will be no more problems.


Christian: Looking into! You damn well better find out because if this happens again, it will be you I put down are we clear nothing I mean nothing is to ever harm her!


*Christian starts to walk inside when he spins and gets back in Vince's face.* That whole group, had the same sire and was brought into the pack....PUT THEM ALL DOWN INCLUDING THEIR SIRE! I can't have pack members that I can't trust in my ranks, if there is at least two with this kind of disrespect for me then I can't risk there being more, especially after you killed two of them! You and Miyako kill them all...I'm disgusted by the thought of it! I hate kids but even I wouldn't do that to a child!


Miyako: Nice going you fool I was looking forward to going to New Orleans and relaxing, now I have to go kill a bunch of mutts!


Vince: As you wish Christian, your will be done.


*The entire group turns and looks at the car the girls are in Christian tries to soften his expression almost apologizing with his eyes but his anger takes over and he turns and walks away.*


Christian: Miyako, change of plans you escort them Vince and I will handle the mutts.


Miyako: Oh joy I get to go shopping with a bunch of teenagers who do I get so lucky. *She smirks at him, even tho the idea of draining Christians bank account has always been a challenge she's enjoyed attempting. So she walks to the car and gets in the front passenger side seat.* So where are we going? *Once clear to move the driver of the car pulls out into the street.*
 
Sheena turns her head quickly as she sees several people emerging from the building behind them, one of them Christian. When they drop the body bags obviously containing the man who had threatened them, and the head rolls out, she stiffens, then reaches to cover Caroline's eyes. Caroline squeaks, shrinking further against May.


"It's okay," Sheena tells her quickly, but she watches as it appears that Christian is raging against them, even Vince. Subtly she slips her hand into May's, watching intently as she keeps her hand over Caroline's eyes. When Miyako slides into the car, Sheena doesn't even attempt to hide the scowl that crosses her face. She strongly dislikes the woman and even now, has no desire to be around her.


She looks up at the driver, a man she is unfamiliar with, and decides to watch him closely as well. She replies to Miyako in a very controlled, not entirely polite tone.


"To get clothes and stuff we need for a couple of days here, I guess. Caroline can't fit into anything people could lend her and I need better pants." But because she dislikes the thought of accepting more from than than necessary, she adds, "But just a few things. We'll only be here a few days."
 
May is about to reply to Sheena, tell her maybe it will be fun to get out for a bit, to actually go shopping. Not stealing for once, actually shopping. But then there is a commotion outside, and May manages to look over as the head plops out of the bag.


Lovely.


Sheena beats her to covering Caroline's eyes, and as the younger squeaks and hides against May she wraps an arm around her protectively, but for once says nothing as she watches Christian freak out, even at Vince. Her eyes narrow as she watches the Alpha, and then when Miyako glides into the car and the driver pulls out; well, May can't say she's exactly thrilled that the cocky she-wolf is going with them. She hated to admit she would have preferred Vince.


Of course she can't say that she doesn't need to buy clothes, because of her shape-shifting, as she wants to keep the illusion of her 'humanity' for as long as possible. She's hoping if something does go wrong, if Christian does freak out and try to do something to Sheena, then May will have the advantage of surprise. So, she comments after Sheena, "Yeah, just essentials, we won't be here for long."


She looks out the window with a small mutter of, "Hopefully."
 
If one thing was for sure, it was that Cain had been in hiding for a long time. The boy couldn’t even remember when he had started masking himself to join in with Christian’s lycans, yet here he was. It was all in preparation for meeting these three girls; he had a job to do after all. So he had remained with them for a long time before his time had finally come and the three had shown up.


The only difference was that it was Miyako sitting in the passenger’s seat when he had pulled out of the driveway. Cain was always one for a challenge though, Miyako was perpetually scary and he knew it well but that didn’t mean this was impossible. The three girls were chatting amongst themselves in the back, but he knew soon enough that this would all go south.


Christian was planning on making them stay a lot longer than they were planning to, and he knew what kind of reaction he might get. After all, he knew a lot more about these girls’ than somebody would give him credit for. Eventually, when things did go south, he would be there to help them out of Christian’s grasp. There were other people looking for them, after all…
 
*After a bit of driving Miyako's phone rights, she answers and nods and then suddenly she smiles and turns towards the girls holding her phone out to Sheena but instead of giving the phone to her to talk privately she turns on the speaker.* It's for you.


Christian: Sheena, the deals off don't come back here ever! I was suppose to protect you and I failed, I couldn't even keep my own damn house in order and you paid the price for it. This car will take you where ever you want to go and Miyako will provide you with whatever you need to survive, as much I as need your help to save our kind from war, I will not risk you when I can't even protect you in my own house..You're stronger then you were when you came to me, you have what you need to make it on your own now...Your mother would be proud of you and a shame of how far I've fallen, but the truth is...You're to weak to live in our world, you're not ready yet to take your mother's place and lead our kind...Maybe in a few decades you could but right now I need warriors not emotional teenagers. Now be careful the full moon may still give the beast a chance to take over, you have to stay strong and not let it. *What Miyako knows and Sheena and May don't is this entire time Christian is sitting at his desk as one after another lycan's from that group that the two that attack them from is being lead into his office and having their throats cut and stacked against the wall.* I wish you were ready, I could use your help but you're not so lives will be lost, I'll do my best to see to it that the mortals aren't killed but I can't promise that now...Goodbye. *Miyako hangs up the phone then turns back around*


Miyako: Well I guess you're free to go..Not that we were holding you hostage but I bet that's what you thought.
 
(whoa, unexpected twist! Yeah we gotta talk, lol)


Miyako smiling is something that Sheena is deeply suspicious of, and as she turns on the speaker phone, Sheena sits up straight, pulling from May slightly to listen. And what she hears from Christian is enough to make her eyes widen, as it's the last thing she had expected.


A part of her had almost dreaded that what Christian told her might be a lie, that he might try to keep them there with him after all. She had feared that when she and the other girls tried to leave, that he and the rest of the Lycans might do all they could to stop her. How much trouble had he gone to in order to get her here, after all? And what about his war? What about her mother...didn't he want her? Why would he tell her now to leave and not come back?


She knew she should be glad, she shouldn't question it. But what if there was a catch? And what was that about lives being lost, about TRYING not to let mortals die...


She hesitated, then looking at Miyako, asked, "Is he for real? What's the catch? I thought I had to vote on some war or something...what do you means, try not to let mortals die? You're telling me if I leave now people might? But...what can I do, how would me staying mean they wouldn't die?"


She wants to go back to May's house, back with the others. She wants to be with them so badly...but she hesitates, wanting to be sure it's the right thing to do.
 
*Miyako being the cold hearted ***** she is, is silent for a second but then turns to her* Do you remember those two men that we saw when you first arrived? Chances are those pups that attacked you did it on their orders, trying to undermine Christian's power base by killing you it will prove that Christian isn't strong enough to lead our kind away from civil war, at least that is how I see it...Sheena you're just to weak to stand at his side and help lead us. No matter who's blood is running through you, you're not strong enough to handle what's ahead, you don't belong in our world. Christian can not do what he needs to do and protect you all the time. But be reassured all those that were a part of the pack that tried to hurt you are now being put down as we speak. *She looks between the 3 of you and smirks at May and talks to her.* I bet you would agree with him that they all deserve to die.
 
(Ooo, is Cain working for Calius, or someone else? O.o )





May looked ahead as they drove in silence for a while, she caught the eye of her own reflection and almost let out a sigh at the form she had been stuck in for a few days now. Shoulder-length boring black hair and soft, pencil gray eyes, her skin is paler than her actual form, cheek bones a bit higher but lips thinner. She did miss her luscious, long brown locks and chocolatey eyes but Christian had seen her only in this form - as the other Lycans had aswell - so in this form she shall stay until they have left Christian's pack, or until she needs to shift to protect herself.


Her eyes drift slightly, and she notices the driver in the mirror, she hasn't seen him before yet - though she hadn't paid much attention to any of the Lycans here besides Miyako, Christian, Vince and of course Sheena - and she watches him long enough for the two to make eye contact. As they do so May looks away, her grey eyes landing on Miyako as she answers her phone and announces with a smile that it is for Sheena.



Well, that isn't suspicious or anything.



She listens to Christian speak, as he is on speaker phone, and once Miyako hangs up she glances to Sheena worriedly. Of course it's a good thing they are being allowed to go - May honestly didn't think they would be - but he spoke of mortals dying. And he claimed Sheena was weak. She was sure neither of those things would go down well with the Lycan girl.



She listens to Sheena's response, then Miyako's. Her eyes narrow as the girl looks between them all, her arm around Caroline tightening slightly, a protective instinct, and when Miyako's eyes land on May, and stay on May as she speaks, May raises an eyebrow at the
provocative Lycan. Her voice isn't raised as she speaks, it is in fact even calm, but it holds a strong authority to it. "You would lose that bet Miyako. Just because two stupid Lycans thought they could get away with harming us doesn't mean their whole pack did."


Her voice is refined, oddly so for a girl who obviously hasn't had the most prestigious upbringing,
"You didn't answer Sheena's question, why will mortals be hurt if she leaves now?"
 
((You’ll see~~ :3))


Miyako’s phone rings and Cain glances over before returning his attention to the road, he had learned once before that driving required all of your attention. The female had put the phone on speaker before letting Sheena answer it, Christian’s message also hitting his ears. When it was over, he eased his foot off the gas and let the vehicle coast for a moment before applying the brake. It was a change of plans, which meant he would have to make his own adjustments.


Perhaps he could convince Miyako to just let him leave with them…


Finally coming to a full stop, he threw the vehicle into park before turning around to finally get a good view of the girls. May, Caroline and Sheena, he could identify them now, from the way another had described them. He would probably be left to drop them off wherever they wished, but for now, he let them talk…Cain had to come up with his own plan.
 
Caroline remains quiet, her eyes shifting between the girls and Miyako as she apprehensively waits for them to come to some sort of conclusion. She is staying out of this, as she has no insight to add to any of it....and she very much fears Miyako.


Sheena, however, is increasingly concerned, and more than a little pissed at Miyako's words and tone. So she was weak, was she? How the hell did Miyako figure, she barely knew her, and she definitely hadn't seen Sheena in action. Resentful of this, and still bothered by Miyako's evasiveness, Sheena was persistent in her reply.


"How do you know I'm so weak? You don't know what I can do because I haven't tried. Maybe I don't need ANY of your protection...and anyway, how do you know the rest of the pack would hurt me? It's not fair to kill them if two of their guys just went off on their own without letting them in on their plans, is it? That's like you killing all my friends if I tried to attack you by myself, that wouldn't be right."


She can hardly believe she's sticking up for Lycans, given all she's seen of them, but she doesn't back down from it. Instead, she goes on, building confidence as she continues. "And anyway, you didn't answer. Who is going to be hurt and why? I thought I just needed to vote and that's it."


She doesn't look at May as May backs her up, but inwardly smiles, glad to have her beside her.
 
*Miyako turns back around and settles in her seat.* That is no longer any of your concern, you didn't want to be here so consider yourself lucky cause you'll no longer have to lower yourself by being around us. Thankgod as soon as you're done shopping I'll no longer have to be bothered by any of you weaklings again. You're just not strong enough to live in our world..in my opinion any world. *She spins around again* We see how you look down on us...judge us, thinking you're better cause you're hands don't have blood on them, think you could do different in the same situations...do better..You judge Christian and you don't know a damn thing about what he's been though, what he's done to survive to assure all of us survive. I'll tell you this much he did lie about one thing, you think he just recently found you? He lied he found you months ago and has been protecting you the entire time from rival packs that want you dead..Thank god he's come to his senses and has decided that helping someone that is disgusted by him doesn't deserve his protection. *The entire time she's talking she's staring at them and smirking but after her rant her eyes gaze out the back window, after that she turns back around and makes a call, but she's speaking in Japanese, after a few seconds she hangs up and looks straight ahead. Looking at the rearview mirror, tapping the driver on the shoulder.* Turn right please.
 
Sheena bristles further, her muscles drawing up tightly in her back and spine as Miyako sneers back at her. What the woman is saying is getting to her in more ways than one, and she grits her teeth, thinking it over before she responds.


Not strong enough to live in Miyako's world? What the hell did she think THAT for? She didn't have a clue what Sheena's world had been like, or May's, or even Caroline's...just being Lycan automatically made Miyako and Christian stronger? Well what the hell was Sheena, then?! Just because they were older and pricks didn't mean they were stronger or better!


And what was this about Christian protecting her from other people? How could he be doing that without Sheena knowing? She'd know if someone was following her around killing people who tried to kill her...right? Is he really telling her to go because he doesn't want to protect her anymore, and not because he just wants to let her go? Is her life in danger if she goes...and therefore, her friends' lives too?


Leaning forward towards Miyako, her voice intense, she shakes her head. "Bullshit, you think you know anything about MY life? You have no idea what I've been through. You think I don't know what it's like to be responsible for death? I've killed, MIYAKO, I've been in PRISON. Before I was even fourteen years old. You don't know anything at all about my life or what I've done or can do, and you can't get off on calling me WEAK just because I'm young and haven't been a Lycan long. You don't know what I can and can't do. And if these people are really after me and Christian is really doing this to stop protecting me, then how come he said I'm strong enough to make it on my own? You're just jealous of me or my mom or whoever...haven't you clued in by now? I'm not threatening you and Christian and whatever you've got going. I don't even like men."
 
*Miyako just laughs at Sheena's rant* You think living on the streets means you've had it hard, compared to me at your age you live a life of luxury, my village was raided everyday and I watched as my friends where raped, tortured then eaten in front of me, I've had my own skin burned off. I've was held down while my mother had her guts eaten out while she was still alive and I survived it all, even before Christian found me...That is why I don't think you're strong enough, you pissed yourself when you saw your mother's gun for the first time, now you think because you've gotten a little control over your wolf that you're a super woman? Given the chance to fight for anyone but those two next to you...If I needed you or Vince...If Christian needed you would you be there? Would you fight for us....Kill for us? I have no doubt you'll fight for your girlfriend but you wouldn't give a damn about us..You hate us and that's the truth, if any of us were to get killed, you'd probably think we deserved it..I was trying to spare you this but the honest truth is....We don't trust you!
 
Sheena doesn't blink in response to Miyako's recounting of bits of her own history, her anger at the woman's continual insulting attitude towards her. She had no doubt that Miyako had had it rough- how else could someone end up such a crazy b*itch? But that didn't mean that Sheena had had it easy, or that she was weak. Sheena had been raised by an alcoholic father, the same father who had brutally murdered her mother and informed her of it when she was even younger than Caroline. Sheena had raised herself for most of her life, and been on and off the streets since she was eleven. Sheena had been forced to go cold and hungry, to commit violence and have violence committed against her, for years of her life. Sheena had been to prison- granted, it had been called juvie by name, but she knew what it had been in reality. Sheena had been raped. Sheena had been beaten and almost tortured, and then, once released, forced to sell herself to survive. And Sheena had killed. More than once, Sheena had been the cause of another person's death.


For this woman to stand there and call her weak, to say that she was not capable of being strong, for this woman to mock her former fear, pissed Sheena off so much she wanted to leap up to the front seat and strangle her with her own seatbelt.


"You don't trust ME!" she almost yelled, disbelieving as much as angered. "I haven't done one thing to hurt any of you, and all you've done since the second you showed up in my life is start hurting and killing and threatening people left and right! It's your people that have threatened to hurt me and my friends, it's your people who said you'd kill me if I didn't get control, it's your people following us and telling us what we should do and be and judging us like you actually get a thing about us! I haven't done anything to any of you, I don't just go around killing people and hoping they die for the fun of it!"
 
Rhys looked at her. He just wanted to go. The longer it took for him to leave, the harder it would be for him to actually go when the time came. He looked at his friends and shrugged. Maybe they should follow Devin's advice and go over and talk to her. Rhys hated just waiting for her to leave. But something about her felt...off he guessed. Maybe it was just the nerves from leaving.


"What are you talking about? It was so fun being attacked by a witch and then almost drowned. I'll surely miss doing that with you guys and much more," Rhys said, his words sarcastic, but still filled with a sense of almost happiness. He would miss them and he would worry about them as well. He'd hate to think anyone or them, even the girls, coming to harm.



"Well it doesn't look like she's going anywhere," Rhys said, turning the conversation back to the girl down the beach. Maybe they could just go farther down? "I'll all for chatting her up. She doesn't look threatening anyways." To see if she was even paying attention, Rhys waved to her.
 
Jason had been listening to Devin intently, but his eyes had sort of slid off of the Lycan as he noticed the girl approaching. "Um... The girl's moving," he said in a low voice. He'd always prided himself a little on his alertness- although he really had nothing on the rest of the group. Except Caroline. Probably not Caroline. Hopefully not Caroline?


Devin seemed to notice, and looked over at the girl. She smiled, but she looked sort of... Vaguely creepy. Her eyes seemed to stare through them, and Jason looked away soon. Why was she just watching them? Rhys spoke, and Jason considered, crossing his left foot over his right foot. The hole in his sneakers had gotten sand in his shoes, and the boy imagined it was mixing with the half-dried blood still on his socks. Blegh. He'd have to wash them soon.


He spoke up. "She doesn't look dangerous, maybe, but she looks...." he stole a glance at her. "She looks weird." His voice was soft, in case she could hear them. "Her eyes are a funny color."


Rhys waved to the girl. Jason supposed he could always teleport away, if it came down to that; Devin could use his ridiculous Lycan speed, and Rhys could... Uh, Rhys could run, he guessed? Maybe the merman could just dive into the ocean. Actually, on second thought, he'd probably hit his head on the ocean floor. Usually people who dived into the ocean did it off of cliffs.


They might as well figure out what the girl was doing, anyways. "Hi," he called to her, who seemed to be waiting on them or something. A seagull flapped by high overhead.
 
They were talking about her; Pandora noticed the dodged looks sent her way as well as the hushed whispers between the boys. Although she couldn’t discern any of what they were saying, her suspicions were confirmed when one had waved at her. Looking him over, she tried to place him; were they really the ones she was looking for? The girl needed to find some link to her past, and it was hard to believe these boys would help her.


One of the others called to her, it was a simple greeting, but she finally tore her gaze away from the one that waved. “Hello! What brings you to the shores?” she asks them, bounding over to make her own spot in their little circle. “You have business to attend to?” is her ext question, looking them over critically once again.
 
Miyako turned to the girls, beginning to say they were weaklings. They weren't strong enough, for any world. Miyako didn't know what the hell she was talking about. And as Sheena's anger grew, so did May's, she was getting really pissed off now. Who the hell was Miyako to judge them? To call them weak and say they had no blood on their hands?


When Sheena finished, May was glaring at Miyako, eyes almost slits as she spoke out herself now, her tone was clearly pissed off. "You need to shut up Miyako, before us weaklings do something you won't like." Her voice was quiet, making her sound all that more dangerous as she hissed the words. "You don't know the slightest thing about what we've done and what the hell we've been through." May had let go off Caroline, for her hands were curling into balls and she could feel her heart thudding faster from the adrenaline running through her.


"You've watched your friends be raped and tortured have you?" Suddenly her tone changed to a mocking concern, "Aw, poor, little, Miyako, she got the pleasure of WATCHING it." Her tone changed back to fury again, "Try fu*king living it bi*ch. You call us weak, you say we're not strong enough to live in this world?" She leant closer, growling her words out in a low tone, "You have no idea." She was so tempted to turn into Hood's form right now, take Miyako out and get the girls the hell out of here, but no, she hadn't gotten to that point yet.


She sat back again, glaring at the woman infront of her as she spoke nuetrally, "In my eyes, you're the weakling here Miyako, you don't believe me? I'd be willing to step out of this car and show you exactly what I can do bit*h." May crossed her arms; Miyako thought she was just some stupid human, oh she'd show her.

Devin grinned at Rhys as he joked sarcastically, then he had waved to the creepy girl, and Jason had called to her. Devin turned to face the small female, he kept silent for the moment, looking her over and wondering if she had indeed been sent by Calico or not. She didn't seem to be attacking them, so maybe she was just a lost human.


It was then that he realized her scent was a bit off. He couldn't quite place it. He frowned lightly, looking down and acting as though it was simply something in his eye, but no, he was wondering what the heck she was. Was she a human with just an odd scent? She didn't smell like a Lycan, or a 'Hood' or even a Mer-person, of course Shifters could not be told apart by their scent - they just smelt human - but this girl was different.


Unable to figure out what the hell was up with her, Devin looked back up and offered her a small smile, "We're just visiting the beautiful sea" He waved out to the ocean, as if demonstrating his point, before smiling back at the girl, "I have a crazy obsession with the sea, and these guys are kind enough to humour me." He grinned at Rhys then; considering Rhys was technically the one with the sea obsession.


(Aha, I love that little bit of detail 'A seagull flapped by high overhead.' xD Oh and Kagura, would any of them remember her or know her from the past?)
