Street Kids

Kira's words were all the encouragement the creature needed. His eyes shifted black for a moment, something writhing behind them, before going to the normal yellow. His smile widened into a devilish grin and he slipped out of the window with ease, into the night.


Looking around carefully, he sniffed the air, the half-Lycanthrope senses of his Host aiding him. The being was still here, still around... but where? "Come out, come out, wherever you are..." he said, voice calm but almost eerily cheery. Fingertips dragging along the wall of the building, he rounded the corner and pulled up his hood, eyes shifting this way and that from the darkness that hid his face. "No need to hide. I'd just like a word." His voice was very convincing. It sounded just as if he wished to talk in a calm and reasonable manner.


He chuckled lightly at this, trying not to burst into uncontrolled laughter at the thought of what an interesting night this could become.
 
The man came from a dark corner. He had a hand gun in his hand. "Where is Kira?" he asked his hand clenching on the gun. He had another hidden one inside his coat. He was almost as hidden as hood. "I just want to take her home..." he lied. "I only have the gun to keep her from killing me." he said quite convincingly. He looked around looking for Kira. "I know you were up there with her and I know she's still there."
 
Looking at the gun, Hood chuckled a little, studying it. "What is a Kira?" he questioned, playing the fool. Inside his head, he was fighting a battle against his laughter as it bubbled up inside his chest, threatening to escape and leave him cackling like a madman at a complete stranger. "I really don't know what you mean. Now, could you please pocket that gun. You're making me quite nervous." This was a lie, of course, but his tone didn't betray it.


Letting out a bit more laughter, he put a hand on his head and leaned back as he tried to hold back more of it. "What exactly is the purpose.. heheha... of a gun to bring someone home?" he asked, composing himself barely. "And, I assume this Kira is a woman. Are you THAT afraid of getting killed by a girl?" He hoped this would pull a reaction from the man. Hood was simply toying with him, hoping to make him snap. A bit of a fight was always fun.
 
The man fired it up in the air. Random birds falls (Opps xD ) The man looked at the bird. "..." He looked at Hood. "Believe me if she wanted to the girl could kill anyone." He said not putting the gun away. "Now stop playing dumb she's been with you and I know it. I saw her and then I saw you coming out of the same window." He said becoming ticked off. He then sighed deeply. "Just give me Kira and I will leave."


Kira heard the gun shot and glanced out the window to see he shot a bird. She covered her mouth and then backed away from the window trying not to giggle. That was pretty funny although a bit sad for the poor bird. She sighed deeply knowing hood had this and there was no need to freak out. Although Hood seemed to behaving to much fun with this.
 
When she hears the gun go off, Sheena flinches badly, then freezes, her face going stiff as her eyes flit to the window. She can see nothing outside it yet, and she takes a deep breath several times, closing her eyes and lowering her head, trying to control her fear.


I'm not going to die, I'm not going to die, I won't wolf out, I won't wolf out....


She knows she can't afford to wolf out again and destroy another set of clothes. Kira can't get her any others, not with a man with a gun outside, and Sheena sure as hell isn't heading out naked with a gunman out there...
 
At the gun shot, the hooded one didn't even flinch or react, just shook his head. "Threats now? How do you know she actually stayed around? This building isn't the most sound piece of architecture around this area... hardly worth anything as a shelter," he said plainly, making a strange observation. He turned, however and leaned closer to the man. "Now... let me ask you something. Are you afraid of things that lurk in the dark? If you're so very scared of a little girl, I would hate for something REALLY horrifying to come your way."


Hood chuckled, then began to laugh, slapping at his knee as he doubled over. It was a comical gesture, but something about his laugh was unnerving. Perhaps the gravely tone or strange pitch of it was the culprit. Once he was finished, he sighed and spoke again, his tone a bit breathless. "Now, I will ask you again. PLEASE, put away that gun. I really do not enjoy those things. They are far too loud and dangerous."
 
The man raised an eyebrow. "Nah I'll keep it out....besides I paid a few people to keep watch she's in there." He chuckled thinking Kira would have no expected that. He glanced around. "Hope she doesn't have anyone else in there she woudn't want to get involved."


Of course when Kira heard this she slapped her forehead. "Darn it....Sorry Hood I got to make sure they do not come in here." She said and then looked to sheena. "You'll be fine...see ya later." She said running outside. A few people see her and yell out.


The Man heard them and chuckled. "Well that got her out." he said with a laugh. As he looked to Hood he turned around. "Lovly chat but I got to go." He said starting to run off. He was ready this time. He knew she couldn't escape. Not without hurting people which was not what Kira wants.
 
Hood frowned a little as the man continued speaking. This was becoming less and less fun and more getting involved with something he hadn't wished to. Turning, the hooded one saw Kira dash away and before he could make another remark, the other man took off after her. With a sigh, Hood spun around and ran up next to the man, easily keeping pace. "You should stop before something bad happens," he said, his tone much like that of a teacher trying to convince a child of a wrongdoing. When the other did not stop, however, Hood's eyes shifted black and he gripped the male's arm roughly.


"Please." The words were not like the rest; not in the calm tone of someone under control. This new tone was not one, but two. An angered version of the Host's gravely voice and a hissing, inhuman voice from somewhere beneath the normal.
 
Kira yelled out "Let me go!" She stuggled the men having trouble keeping her in their grip. The man saw this and then looked at Hood. He glared and then looked at bit frightened as he spoke. He pulled his arm back hard glaing. "You're not normal ether....should have known." He reached for his gun the hood made him drop. "Get back!" He yelled knwoing he didn't have much time before Kira got away.
 
"Kira! What the hell are you doing!" Sheena yells as Kira bolts, following Hood outside; she stands, wanting to grab her and yank her back into the relative safety of their shelter, but then thinks better of it; if Kira is the danger to them, shouldn't she just let her go?


But...she doesn't want Kira to be hurt either. Part of her is alarmed by this, that she would already feel even semi involved with her...but how can she stand back and let it happen? Shouldn't she be concerned about her, have her back, since she's another girl in Sheena's predicament...isn't that what Sheena used to do? Wasn't that what Foxfire did...its entire purpose? Sure, Foxfire was gone now...but didn't it live on in her? Shouldn't she keep it alive in her...what would Maddy think, if she knew that Sheena wouldn't even try to help other girls who were in trouble?


It was thinking of Maddy that made Sheena head for the window, swallowing her own fear.
 
Kira looked at Sheena and then tugged. "No I have to keep them out...now le go!" Thats when the men came in and grabbed her pulling her away from sheena. "Sorry mis got to get her to our boss." They said dragged Kira away from sheena. "SHeena you better stay away!" SHe yelled yet still struggled.
 
"NO!" Sheena screamed; for a moment she can't move, stricken with fear as her memory slips back to a time years ago, other men's hands on her, holding her down, her struggling and unable to escape, unable to do anything but let her mind slip past it, let her mind turn her into something and someone outside of it all. This had been before she had gained her Lycan powers, before she knew she was Lycan at all...now, she would be able to protect herself, and anyone else who needed it. Now, if she needed to, she could kill these men...and as rage flares through her, heating her veins, she knows she will do what she has to in order to protect her, and any of the other kids up there. Not because of who they are- Sheena barely knows them after all...but because of who she used to be, because of what she's been through...because of Foxfire. Because of Maddy. Mostly for Maddy, she can't let Kira be taken without fighting for her.


Partly within her control, partly instinctual, Sheena begins to shift again into her Lycan form. Newly stolen clothes in shreds behind her, she leaps out at the men, biting him in the arm to make him drop the gun, and then moving in to attack, jumping out with her claws tearing through his clothes to knock his hands away from Kira.


(we need to talk about where we're going with this, what would they do in reaction? If it's harsh I may need to clear it with you)
 
The men yells out and the push her off. "OW!!!!!" They both looked at Kira. "Hey I'm getting paid $100 for that girl." They said and looked at her. "No way are we letting her go." They said going to grab Kira. Kira growled loudly and hissed at them. (Like what?)
 
Snarling, Sheena jumps at one of the men again, jaws open wide as she scrapes her claws down his back, cutting deeply. When he attempts to buck her off, she bites, ripping open his throat without a second thought about it. She is acting now only on animal instincts....this is rare for her, when in Lycan form, to lose sight of her human thoughts and feelings, but she is in a rage now, seeing nothing but a threat and feeling nothing but a need to react accordingly.


Leaving the man lying struggling for breath, choking on his own blood, on the floor, Sheena turns to one of the other two remaining man, her eyes dark, yet glittering at the surface; when he moves towards her she knocks his gun arm with a strong headbutt then jumps, hitting him in the chest with her paws, and knocks him down. Several slashes later and he too is bleeding badly, near death. There is only one man left now, the original man with the gun who had come for Kira, and Sheena turns toward him wildly, ready to take him on too.
 
Kira saw this and then grabbed Sheena. "NO! Not him he's to dangerous! Stay back!" SHe said and pulled her back. "No!" (Can't kill him lol) Kira growled like a wolf at her. "Let hood take care of him I beg you." She said and sighed deeply. She hated this. She looked at the dead bodies and shivered. "....Blood." She looked down trying not to look at it. She swallowed again and looked at Sheena. "Just calm down." She said.
 
Sheena growls deep in her throat, her eyes locked on Kira, almost a challenge. Then she turns back to look at the last remaining man, and when she does, she sees the bodies on the ground...the bodies, she realizes slowly and with full understanding for the first time, that she just killed.


Cold horror and dread fills her heart, hollowing her stomach, and a faint whimper escapes Sheena without her notice. Her shoulders slump, her tail drooping, and she whimpers again, feeling a slow tremor spread through her body. She can feel herself starting to tense up,a prelude to shifting back to her human form, and she turns tale and sprints back towards the building and its window, jumping straight through just as she begins to shift back. She howls as she shifts back into her human form, both physically and mentally pained, but when she is returned to her human form this time, she does not immediately scramble for her blanket. She remains hunched over, trembling so badly she cannot seem to straighten herself, almost hyperventilating as her ribs pull in and out sharply. There is a faded homemade tattoo of a flame above her right breast (forgot to mention that first time around lol).


She just killed people. She, Sheena, just killed those men...they were tryiing to take Kira, they were trying to hurt her, but she killed them, she KILLED them, the smell of their blood is stuck in her nostrils and Sheena can't get it out...
 
Kira followed her and then used her wings that tore her shirt and then covered Sheena. "Not again..." She sighed and then looked down at her. "You need to learn not to tare my clothes I give you." She sighed deeply and then looked at the others. "Ok blanket time..." She said and slowly lifted her up. "Come with me....Don't worry they can't see you." She didn't look at her and her wings were big enough to give some room between the two of them.
 
Sheena seems incapable at the moment of moving on her own. She allows Kira to lift her, leaning against her slightly, and once she is under the blanket, she continues to shiver, her eyes wide and strangely blank. In her mind she is trying to escape the reality of the moment, as she often has before, to be outside herself as a hawk, flying high and strong and free...but she can still smell the blood, can taste traces of it in her mouth, and her stomach roils sickeningly.
 
"Normal is such a strange term," the hooded man explained, watching the other as he reached for the gun. As he scrambled with it, Hood lowered the piece of cloth covering his face revealing a sickening grin. Blackness had began to crawl its way up his neck, writhing and pushing over his entire face until the features were gone. After a second, white slits of eyes opened, glaring hungrily at the man with the gun. A fanged mouth pulled apart, too wide to be human, and let loose a disgusting guttural hiss as black clawed hands grabbed at the other male, tugging him away from the others quickly.


Somewhere in his mind, he registered hearing Legs and Kira yelling, the bone-cracking transformation of the Lycanthrope, then growling and screaming. The smell of blood. Good. She had taken care of the others. This one, however... was his own. The creature that was Hood began to laugh as he dragged the man away, looking back and giving a horrifying, open mouthed grin. The creatures 'teeth' were uneven, as if the blackness had simply torn apart to make a mouth. There was nothing inside, however, just more darkness, seeming to twist on forever.


"Yes, you and I are going to have a talk," he snarled, hissing voice still gurgling laughter as it spoke. "And then...kehehehe... who knows what might become of you?" Another bout of laughter echoed across the empty streets, making any who heard it cringe. What a night.
 
It was getting creepier and stranger and more terrifying by the moment, and Jason would have bolted ten ways to heaven if there had been another window. After Kira ran out- and Legs followed behind- Jason had pried himself from the wall and took a few shaky steps forward, simply to remind himself that he was capable of movement, and hadn't frozen into a statue.


So what had happened? He had been chased for stealing bread, ended up in a building with three strange girls, got creeped out by a talking cat, got freaked out by Hood, and became terrified at what happened afterwards.


Then there came Hood's shrieking laughter from outside, and Jason jerked backwards, paralyzed. Protect- kill- shout- gun- wolf- blood- grin- black- it all blurred together in his mind until he felt terrified no longer. Like becoming so cold, that numbness takes place of pain. He couldn't keep up the fearful adrenaline that had coursed through him for the past hour, and eventually settled down into a blank nothingness.


For the matter, Jason looked all in the world as if he'd gotten a grip on himself. He turned around and regarded May. Calmly, somehow not shakily he asked; "What do you think we should do?"
 
From the mattress and blanket in the corner, Legs looks through Jason and May rather than at them; in the moment she has quite forgotten that they, or anyone for that matter, are there. In her mind she flits between being fully present in the past of the men's spraying blood and screams, and being outside it all in the clouds, a hawk, not wolf, not human...beautiful and free, and not at all part of any of this. Her breathing is shallow, and she doesn't speak; this is the only way she can begin to pull herself together, to block it all away.
 
May takes everything in slowly, seeming strangely calm considering what was going on around her. She looked at Jason as he asked his question and her eyes harden, "Well. First thing I'm doing is getting those idiots away from our hideout." Without another word she climbs through the shattered window, she storms over to the man who wasn't killed by Sheena and as her hand reaches out, her nails are replaced by that of a lions claws and she slashes his cheek, tearing the flesh from it. Her pupils turn into that of a lion's and her vocal cords switch as she growls in his face, her teeth turning into sharp canine ones before her vocal cords turn deeper and she speaks in a dangerous hiss, "Get away from this place, away from me and the others around us, before I rip out your eyeballs with these" She raises her hand and the claws that are in the place of her nails turn black and elongate as she stares at the man with cold hard feline eyes, "And shove them down your throat until you choke." She watches the blood from the gash across his cheek drip onto his clothes before she does the perfect imitation of a lion's growl in his face. "Got that?"
 
The man didn't care about the other shapeshifter. He was to scared by hood. He pulled away liking the idea of staying with the other shapshifter. "Dude you're some kind of demon!" he tried to get away. As he looked at the shapeshifter again he nodded. "Save me...." he whispered scared out of his wits. He knew he couldn't go anywhere with hood. He was probably going to be eaten. He also knew at least he could live with the shapeshifter.
 
Jason trailed after May listlessly, feeling a little distant. She was holding the man with her claws... threatening to rip his eyeballs out. Along with her was Legs, and Hood, not to mention Kira.


Jason shook his head. The man didn't stand a chance. Looking down at his own form, it was painfully obvious that he would fare even worse. It would be important to stay on the girls' - and Hood's- good side.


He stood, a few feet back from the window, silently. There was blood slickening the floor outside, and bodies piled up against the wall. All four of the others were in various forms for killing. Oddly enough- he felt left out.
 
May noticed the fear the man held for Hood and a smirk placed itself on her face, as she turned and looked at Jason, noticing the alone look he was holding she shoved the man backwards, stole a glance at Hood and spoke dangerously as she looked back at the man, her human appearance back. "I'd rather leave you for the 'demon' Anyone who can judge that quickly surely should get to know the person they have judged" She emphasized the word person, she thought of Hood as a person. She walked off and placed herself beside Jason, she looked at him gently, "You alright kid?" She hoped that he hadn't been scared by her claws or feline appearance, hopefully he was slightly used to the abnormality of them all by now.
