Night joined Ali and shifted to battle the bots. She sliced them apart, clawed them, bit them, and went berserk. She had healed Autumn, but the others still needed help. And she needed to protect injured Lince.
Despite seeing the old lady talk to Ali, she continued fighting. Ali wouldn't leave without a warning right? And Night didn't even know if they COULD trust this old lady.
Night spit out all her thoughts and turned them into dodging, scratching, biting and fighting. She made it back over to where Lince was still laying and attacked the bots surrounding him. "Until he's healed, he needs all the help we can give him." Night thought.

(I commented on the other rp pic I don't know if all yall've seen it yet)

Sanura saw it all. She saw Lince who was layed down, assisted, then he had gotten up to get shot. She saw Autumn get shot also. She saw her friends--that she had just met, yet she felt bonded to them--get hurt. San was still fighting as a lynx when she heard an old lady's voice. She automatically shifted back to a human while she was still scratching a... robot. It wasn't very nice to sneak up on elderly citizens as a filthy lynx anyway. San's sensitive ears heard a gunshot yet she didn't pay much attention to it. She just listened as the woman said to follow her if they wanted to survive. "Can I trust this new arrival?" Sanura thought. "Let's see." She let go of the robot-officer she was tearing down and dashed through the bullets and gushing oil and screws until she had reached the woman and Ali. "What's ging on here? Autumn is unconscious I'm pretty sure, and Lince is dying. We can't just leave!" the lynx shifter shouted to cover the drilling of the bullets. All the noise was destroying her ears, and she could feel her head was about to explode--not literally. San had now a migrane, and for some reason she felt a sting. She saw Ali's alarmed look when the dragon girl saw her. "What's wrong?" Sanura asked. Then it hit her. That gunshot earlier had been aimed at her, and it hadn't missed. Blood was staining her turquoise starred shirt. "Uh oh... are there any supplies left?" San questioned while trying to keep her voice calm. One glance at the medic kit told her there wasn't, and suddenly her eyes went blurry. She realized she was dying. Just as she was going to close her eyes, she felt dragged by someone, probably Ali. Then all went black and painful.

Sanura tried to "wake up". She opened her eyes and felt her skin burn as she was dragged by smeone she didn't recognize. It was a touch task to distinct all the people, robots and other things with such malfunctioning eyes. San looked down. Blood was still gushing out of her chest. She heard someone call her name. San tried to speak, yet no sound came when her lips pronounced the words "We're not going to make it". She was wondering who was dragging her. It looked like Ali now, she was somewhat sure of it. San was in too much of a bad situation to think about the fact that she wasn't going to survive. She was about to close her eyes when all went very very blurry. Then things changed; she felt strange, considerably lighter. The critical change though was that all went white--yes, you heard me right. White--and that her senses seemed to be closing up. "Am I dead?" a voice resonated inside her. San wasn't sure she was even thinking anymore. "There's something wrong... I think... I must be... dead."

(Tough task*, not touch task. Also, someone she didn't recognize*.)

Rose watched everone being shot. There were no more supplies! She wished Night would have healed Autumn sooner so she could help more... It felt like stabs to her heart to watch her new found friends repetitivly hurt. She shifted quickly when a robot tried to seak up on her. She smashed it like bread with her tail. She whipped around and released her toxic, burning flame upon the surging mass of robots, it easily melted a dozen with one puff. Suddenly she heard a woman's voice. She turned and watched her carefully as Ali dragged San... "Who are you? Why should we trust you?" she snarled to the old lady. Rose couldn't be sure if she was a robot... or bait for a trap. "We need to leave." She said to the concious shifters; pain filled her when she looked at the injured. She stretched her wings, they didn't go far in the cramped alley. A shot was fired suddenly and blood began to drip from her open jaws. She looked at her back where metal and shrapnel was embedded near her spine. She swallowed her blood, and painfully ignored the sharp searing hole in her back. She smashed the robots that fired the exploding bullet. "We need to heal the injured." She didn't mean herself... her injuries were minor in comparison to the others. She glared at the woman, studying her again, waiting for the others' response.

Night was fighting like crazy and avoiding all the bullets and most of the hits thanks to her senses being improved in wolf form. But as she watched her friends fall one by one she knew there wasn't much more time before she fell too.
Night noticed everyone clustering around the old woman. Night didn't know if she could trust her, but she seemed like their last hope. Even if she did turn on them, Night would tear her to pieces. Night smirked and her eyes blazed with battle.
However, right now she needed to guard the others. Somehow she seemed to be able to dodge these bullets, so instead of worrying about the bullets as much she turned her alertness to guarding the others. She paced back in forth in front of the injured, old lady and everyone else snarling in wolf form.
Night's protectiveness that was now adhanced from being part wolf, ignited a fire in her mind. She needed to protect. The fire kept burning and she kept fighting.

Autumn nodded at Ali, her eyes filling with tears as the severity of these grave circumstances settled in. "Come on... Let's go" a robot attempted to sneak up behind her but she suddenly did a backflip, grabbing onto it's neck and snapping it. Her eyes seemed to glow with anger, which faded as she looked at Lince's broken body. Gently she grabbed him, and dragged him over to the elderly woman. "Where do you want us to go." Autumn said with a cold and sharp voice.

Night shifted back into a human now that it was settled that they were leaving. "Yes, where are you taking us?" She asked politely, but with a hint of distrust.
(Who's going to control the old lady?)
After asking, the old lady remained silent. "Um... Okay..." Night mumbled to herself.
Then Night went over to Autumn and helped her carefullh carry Lince. Night was cautious to avoid his broken arm, so she placed it gently on his chest with it still in her jacket as a sling. So she held him under his back instead.

The Elderly women smilled reveling croked yellow teeth. A sound came from her it sounded like all the anamals in the world speaking a once! The sound was monsterous and loud! Soon animals of all sorts came flying, crawling, runing, slithering and jumping into the ally way! The robots were over whelmed as stray dogs chomped, birds pecked, rats nibbled, insects pitched, and cats scratched at them! Police horses (you know how some police use horses ones like them that had thrown their owners off came) came galloping over. The old hag laughed at the shifters amazed/horrified expresions. A horse pulling a little tolly came trotting over. The owner probably abandoned it when the horse went crazy. "Put the wounded in the trolly the rest get a horse!" The lady cracked out her voice like a whip. Autum (how ever you spell it I probably got it wrong) started dragging Lince to the trolly. The old hag started walking over to help "Come on come on there'll be more." By the the animals had taken out all the robots and had vanished leaving only the horses and shifters in the ally way. Lince along with the rest of the wounded were thrown in the trolly. The hag climbed up to the seat of the trolly. Grabbing the rains the gave out a witch like laugh! "Ihihihihihihiiii Well don't just stand there get on a horse!" (She has no shadow so when they pass over the lamp light some can notice that nothing is cast from her)

After Night had shaken out her shock and helped Lince onto the trolly, she got on a horse. Excitement flowed over her as she hopped up on the majestic powerful body. She stroked her horse's brown neck and grabbed the reigns. She smiled from ear-to-ear and whipped the reigns. The horse reared with its black mane flowing in the movement. Then Night pulled the reigns back to stop the horse from running and his hooves thumped down with a mighty clop.
Night loved riding this horse and loved this horse even more already.

hey do you want to be in my collab ^-^

Autumn herself felt extremely anxious about this elderly woman....she seemed, she couldn't describe it. But her spirit however she saw had a calm somewhat happy aura. Why was her spirit happy? The woman cracked the reins of the horses leading the trolley down the street

And let out a malicious laugh...like...like...a witch! "Good you've figured it out!" The spirit said. Autumn imagined the cat smirking. She realized that cats in legends often helped witches, maybe that's why her spirit was so content. Uneasiness still resided in Autumn still, something wasn't right about this.

San was in a trolly. Somehow she felt... better. Like someone had secretly healed her, and suddenly she figured she was still alive. She was layed down next to Lince. With the last bits of voice she had managed to save, she asked him, "What's going on? Who is this woman...? I have a bad feeling about this." Ignoring the atrocious pain in her chest--that had been bandaged somehow--San walked up to the edge of the cart the two wounded shifters were in. Her lynx spirit acted up again. "Can you not feel the witchcraft in your chest? This woman is a witch." Sanura opened her eyes in shock as she realized she was the subject of spells, and that she was at the mercy of this woman. "But... but... first, how am I alive?" she asked her spirit. "Cats have nine lives according to the legend, and they are friends to witches. Why should lynxes not have these advantages? We are from the same ancestors anyway." San calmed down. There was no danger with this witch regarding her. "But... but the nine lives, isn't it all a legend?" "No. Only to normal humans who do not feel the power of the gifted." "Oooh..." San now understood. So she HAD died after all, but only briefly. She had now eight lives. "So I... resurrected." The thought seemed alien. "Well, in any case, I feel fine now." Sanura breathed in a big gulp of air. She felt alive, happy. This new arrival wouldn't be a threat to her, at least. The cart kept going somewhere, and suddenly it hit San. "Where are we... going?" she thought out loud.

Lince wasn't in good shape still. Yet San lectured him and tried to reason the situation. "Okay. So! We got dragged out of battle by an old woman who turned out to be a witch. She chanted out something weird and all animals around came to beat the robots. Then we were put in a trolley pulled by the witch herself, and the other shifters who survived are on horses, galloping around us." Lince groaned. "Hey! Listen up!" San yelled without even turning. She was watching her friends riding the horses. "There's Autumn... we share our nine lives power. There's... Rose, Sarila and... Ali... what is Ali doing? She's staring at--OH!" Sanura freaked out for a second. The old woman... her shadow... was gone. San started hyperventilating. All along, she didn't really really believe the woman was a true witch, but now... "Now I really do know she's a witch!!" San cried out, scared out of her wits. The witch didn't hear. Then suddenly, they came to a turn... and they had arrived. It was a strange hut. It seemed tiny--but somehow an aura around it told San it was huge inside. San's sensitive senses could sense magic, now? "What?" The girl thought. "This is really getting stranger and stranger by the minute..." Her flesh crawled. The woman had come to bring the wounded down and she saw San standing. "So, I see you're feeling better", she smirked. Obviously she knew her spell--or curse, perhaps--had worked. "Y-yes, ma'am..." San studdered. "I... I'd like to know where we are, ma'am..." San's teeth chattered but she tried not to show it. Believe it or not, it was fall and being dying at night with only a camisole is cold. "Oh, simply at my house. I believe we have a wounded shifter to heal." The woman looked at Lince. San realized something when she said that. "How does she know we are shifters? Surely she didn't see our shadows. She was examining the reins then, I saw her. But then..." A thousand questions were now rolling around in San's mind. Just when she was about to ask one, the lady spoke. "Good Autumn", she said as the girl in question had pulled up her horse and was getting off. "Would you like to get me some analgesic pills, please?" At the same time, San's lynx spirit told her something. "San, this witch's intentions may seem harmless, but she only wants to use you all. She will try to separate you, and bring you down. Whatever she says, STAY TOGETHER." San saw Autumn about to answer yes. Sanura turned to the woman, "Oh, we'll all go. It'll be quicker." The woman frowned. "It's just a package of pills, Sanura." An alarming though popped in San's head. "How does she know my name?" "No." San repeated. "We'll all go TOGETHER." The lynx-girl winked at the other shifters to tell them to play along.

Autumn was confused for a moment by Sanura's behavior, but winked back as she realized what was going on. "Mam where might you keep these pills?" Autumn asked innocently. "They sell them at the local Walgreens. Simply go there." The witch replied. Autumn nodded but felt hr stomach flop, the old lady was sending them back into town. "Come on guys...let's go." She said with a note of anxiety resting heavily on her words.

When all the shifters were out of hearing reach of the witch, San started to whisper. "Guys, I have a bad feeling about this. We don't know who this lady is, exept that she's a witch. The other sign of evil I got was that my spirit warned me. This woman wants to use us, I don't what for, but she'll do anything to separate us, trick us into hating eachother. Whatever she does, stay together and remember; we are bonded to eachother." San made sure the others understood and kept walking. "Now where is this... Walgreens?" she asked herself. "Don't remember going there..." the seven had reached a town map. They looked at the key next to the map itself, in the "W". "Hm", San said, puzzled. "There..." she gasped. "There is no Walgreens." ***
"THIS MUST BE A TRAP!" She yelped out. A young lady--probably around her twenties--that was strolling around looked at the seven teens. "What are you looking for?" she asked nicely, yet she must had been annoyed by San's scream. "Is there a local Walgreen around?" The lady looked up, as if she was trying to remember seeing that name somewhere. "I... I don't recall going to any Walgreen... but... I just don't remember..." the lady seemed to be mystified. "What... who... who am I? I don't remember either!" She said, shocked. "Oh gosh, guys..." San was terrified. This lady in front of them had just lost her sense and memory simply because they mentioned a store that doesn't even exist. "Guys... this is a spell." San figured.

The lady ran away, checking the papers in her purse. Men and woman around strangely stared as the lady ran past them, flipping through passports and licenses. Whispers on the street started. "Is that lady psycho?" "Is that all a prank?" "Maybe someone's doing an 'awkward street situations' video for Youtube..." San stared, horrified by the curse that was set upon them and whoever they talked to. "Guys... this... this isn't happening, is it?" The lynx spirit spoke. "Sanura, the witch is coming for you. All of us spirits are sending this warning to you shifters. Run. The witch is waiting for her pills, and she's after you. Run. Run out of town, for this is your only escape. If she catches you, you will die. Run." The repeated word alarmed San. Her nerves were sending billions of messages to her brain, telling it to activate those leg muscles. She dashed forward on the street. It must have been near ten-thirty o'clock. The stars were strangely bright, and one star was abnormally huge. Many people on the streets were staring and pointing at it, whispering rumors. San tried to ignore the boiling heat that had filled New York, and sweat dripped down Sanura's forehead. She wanted to ask the others why it was so hot, but she kept her breath. She'd need it later.

(Telepathy?? Oooh, maybe shifters can use telepathy in between eachother... that's cool...)

San felt... a buzz. A buzz in her head. Somehow, she felt as if telepathic skills had been implanted in her brain, and it wasn't witchcraft. While they kept on running from the witch who was on her way tracking them down, Sanura heard her friend ask worried questions. "Ali! Lince is going to be okay, just save your breath!" she called out to behind her. Then she thought twice about what she had said. "Is he going to be ok? No. Lince was alone and harmless, at the mercy of a witch. The witch herself might give up chasing the six shifters,('cause I'm assuming Lince is still in the cart?) but then... then she'd return to Lince and do some freaky stuff. No. Lince was not going to be okay." San halted, startling the others behind her. She turned. "Rose, we need you to bring us back to Lince by flight. If we turn back and retrace our steps, we'll find the witch right in front of our noses likety-split." San pointed to a short-ish building next to the six. "We should go over that, and then fly back to the hut. Agreed?"

(Akemi my fc is three nine nine five seven four three nine four eight one two) Autumn suddenly saw the spirit, it seemed to be coming out of a trance....then it turned to her. "This woman...that witch! It's a trap! Run Autumn!" Her spirit exclaimed. Autumn had grabbed Van (she's sort of dragging him as he tries to run) and was attempting to run beside as fast as she possibly could. "Ali, rose! You need to shift!" She called out behind her.

(Who's Van?)

Lince bumped around in the cart with San, and she wouldn't shut-up! She kept asking questions and commented on random things he couldn't see! He wanted to scream out "Your asking me what's going on! I should be the one asking what's going on! I'm stuck in this thing that keeps bumping around making me feel all green, I can't see even with my eyes open so, don't ask me about an old lady that I cannot see, you should be telling me!" They hit a bump setting Lince in an uncomfortable possistion. I can't move! Lince wanted to yell but only managed a moan! They soon stopped though and he could hear San get out. The lady asked Autum to get some pills. It sounded like she was going to go alone till San perked up getting them all to go... but Lince. Hey what about me he wanted to say but nothing came out. Did they forget he was here? No they were getting the pills for him... Ali did Ali go with them? Why are you still obsessed with that girl? She came back for me. After she left you! I don't know that she could've could've- Could've what?!? I don't know... Suddenly Lince was being shook by old smelly hands. Lince wanted to scream but still nothing but groans came out. "Ooo you got yourself pretty banged up didn't ya?" "I don't know you tell me, I can't even see myself!" thought Lince "Good thing too." said the lady "Wait wha-" "I'm a shifter too Lince my dear I can hear your thoughts as well as your friends." crackled the lady "So were's everyone? Were's Ali?" "Oh they're fine, they went to get some pills and will be back shortly and then I can tell you all my wounderful stories." said the lady happily. She seemed nice weird but nice... "I read that!" ... "Oh don't be scared I'm just a lonley old shifter who has gotten alittle weird over the years." Lince tried to smile but couldn't move. He remembered back of his grandmother before his family abandoned him... "Oo a sad story you've got there. I'm sorry for your parents, but hey you can call me grandma now eh!?" Lince managed a smile that time. "There there I'll go get ya some erbs that may help ya get back to your feet." the lady patted him on the shoulder and started to leave. "Wait what about my sight!?" Lince thought. The lady possed and turned from what Lince could hear "I won't promice that one... the bullet struck you in the back near the spinal cord. You may have lost your vission, maybe even your legs, but only time will tell. So rest now your friends will be back." She turned and scuttled off. Lost my vision thought Lince my legs my arms! No no no NO! he thought them someone else came up. "Who is it thought." Lince but no one answered. "Hey Lince." said Autum well at least he thought it was Autum he could tell for sure he hadn't known the other shifters very well yet and- Someone pulled him down and started dragging him! What are you doing he thought as pain roared threw him! "We got to get away from the witch." one of them said Witch?!? What witch there was no witch just a kind old lady who had powers just like them just more advanced. They kept dragging him for a few minutes then stoped dropping him rouphly to the ground. "Where you going childeren?" asked the lady "Ya where are we going thought Lince alittle angrally at being dropped so rouphly! "Your all hurt and need rest espassally your friend there, you could cause purnament damage by moving him like this... Here I'll call the trolly horse." said the old lady soothingly

*facepalm* (crap. Just screwed everything up, van is Lince, pretend autumn is running beside you without Lince. )

(Ah.)

(Wait I'm confused, if Autumn is running beside San without Lince, then the previous rp is a little off? I don't know what to role-play now, are we caught by the witch or are we still in the middle of the street trying to plan out a way to avoid the witch while getting Lince?)

(DX Everyone forgets Night... They list Autumn, Lince, Ali, Sun, and everyone, but forget me! -.-)
While everyone else was fretting around the city looking for Walgreens Night was calm. That's just how she is. Calm. They all worried about this witch and this and that, but Night was brave and bold-- like a wolf. She knew she could take this witch on and rip her to shreds in wolf form if she had to. But she knew something still knew something wasn't right and stayed alert.
Night thought about Lince, everyone had forgotten him! She facepalmed and just about said aloud, "Those idiots." Night always had him on her mind, because he was so badly injured. Poor guy. Night ran back towards the little hut thing and the trolly.
On the way a thought crossed over her. Wait that witch had called a kazillion DIFFERENT animals. She has no shadow, unlike us, and knew we were shifters. "SHE's A SHIFTER TOO!" Night exclaimed in her mind. "Just one that can turn to ALL animals." Night recalled smelling a thousand different crazy scents on that woman.
Finally Night had reached to the trolley. While others would be panting from running so fast so far, she was breathing completly normal. She opened the trolley door where Lince was laying.
Night smelled the trail of the old woman entering her hut--thing. Night only had a little bit of time. "Lince!" he half-yelled, half-whispered. All Lince did, however, was moan.
Night heard the old lady starting to come back, she had no time! She grabbed Lince, carefully as always, and ran with him in her arms. Normally people would think she's crazy, running with a full-grown man in her arms, and she's just a girl. But she had strong arms and strong long legs.
Night placed him carefully on one of the horses waitng by the trolley. She hopped up and held Lince in her lap. Then she whipped the reigns and ran off to the other shifters
(Sorry guys, hope I didn't mess anything up, I'm sort of confused. People are jumping all over the place. :P)

(Wait so Night came for Lince instead? And so Night what meets up with everyone else, then the old lady shows. )

(I'm confused too...let's just say Night grabbed Lince and the shifters are now on the run. And I think she should be a witch because, if you are a shifter you always have a spirit animal, which shows up in your shadow, she has no shadow, there for she is not a shifter and simply is casting a spell. Witches can shift, but it is due to dark magic not natural abilities or god given abilities. Fair enough? Ok) Autumn heard the trotting of hooves, and looked behind her to see Night driving the trolley. "Oh thank the spirits you showed up!" Autumn then leaped into the back with cat like ability. "Come on guys hop in!" She shouted! Then she realized something was moaning, it was bird boy. "Lince! Oh god are you alright? We tried to get some medicine but the store the witch mentioned doesn't even exist in this city. We began to suspect that something was up...." She explained to him quickly. Autumn noticed he was fading fast. "Come on Lince stay with me now." She said as she crouched down next to him. "It's going to be alright." She said as soothingly as she could. She then remembers something. Animals helped patients in hospitals right? She smiled and let herself shift slowly until she was in cat form. She kneaded his chest like her own cat would when she was sad and purred. Autumn had always been calmed when her little feline would purr, hopefully it would help. Other wise she probably looked like a total doofus. But she just let her feline instincts take over. Maybe this would help...

Then she heard a sickening voice, the witch...Autumn peeked outside to see the hag trying to seduce Ali. "Ali! Don't listen! She is only going to hurt you! Hurt us! She is using you! Fight her magic!" She shouted telepathically. Ali still looked to be in a trance. Damn it what was us supposed to say! Then it her. "Ali! We need you! Lince needs you!"

The witch turned to Autumn saying "Come with me, let me teach you, feed you, protect you, guide you, let me feast upon you! " the witch crackled out a laugh. Loves moaned in the Reilly lot. He was confused what was going on? Why was everyone being mean to the old lady? She was nice, she was trying to help them, but then she spoke of feasting and was talking to Ali in a strange way. The witch looked to Lince saying "You'll be the ending of your friend. You could cause permanent damage to

Him by moving him like this. *takes a step forward holding out a hand* let me heal him let me heal you all! I could be your grandmother and you my children. Together we could anything. " Lince moaned louder he longed to have a family again he'd been along for so long. He wanted to stop running he wanted to be with Ali. The old lady could give that to him. "Yes Lince we could be a family, You wouldn't have to run any more and you could be with Ali. " The witch turned to Ali and smiled wickedly "Isn't that what you want? "

(Lince moaned in the trolly. I don't know how it came out loves moaned in the Reilly... we're sorry)

(Okay Raven XD)
Night was so confused and her mind was spinning. But she had a job to do and she had to keep a straight mind. All Night's protective wolf instincts told her to let go and tackle the old devious, foul hag.
But Night couldn't. Everyone was in the trolly, the injured and the healed. Night couldn't stop. However, she wished she could do spells and use dark magic like the hag. Then she could utter a curse and destroy the witch.
But she DID have the magic of words. Words can be powerful. They can lift you up, they can push you into the ground. They can hate, inspire, or motivate.
"You think we WANT to join you!?" Night yelled at the witch while steering. "In a nasty old hut, where you WON'T be family. You'd be an enemy! You're nothing but a foul, devious, ugly trickster! You said you'd help us! You're lying, cheating, and tearing us apart! If you'd really help us, then you'd get us all back together again--with Ali!" These words were infuriating and made the hag frustrated. She shook, bit her bottom lip and thrust Ali forward.
"Fine then you stupid teenagers!" She screamed. Night turned the trolly, quite sharp, to quickly grab Ali. Night hoped someone in the back would grab her and pull her into the trolley real quick so theh wouldn't have to worry about the witch ensnaring them in a spell.
(I'm pretty sure Ali was being led by the witch away right? While everyone else was in the trolly? I thought I wasn't as confused anymore, but now I am again. -_-)

(She's a poison/plant dragon but has fur instead of scales) :3 Rose watched carefully as everything happened, she didn't move once. She was slowly being put in a trance like Ali, but she was resisting with the help of the flowers and grass. Ali whapped the old lady away and she shook her head clear of the voice of the hag. She was in her dragon form and it felt better to be in the dragon because she was stronger... her wounds almost didn't hurt. She spoke to the others telepathicly 'Climb on. We need to leave New York! We will fix everyone later.' She spread her wings wide and prepared to take off. 'Be sure to bother the hole in my back!' she said sarcastically.

(I'm so lost...) San watched as Ali first was about to kill them, and then... Autumn said something and Ali completely changed. She was back on their side, and seconds later the witch had disappeared, Ali had spontaneously switched from girl to dragon to girl, and now Rose was in dragon form also, ready for takeoff. Ali--who had picked up Lince to mount him on Rose's back, Autumn, Night, Sarila and Sanura all mounted on Rose. This time, they were all ready to leave New York for good. "Where will we go?" San asked, relieved that this witch was gone. She could totally picture in the newspaper tomorrow, "Scandal! Seven strange teens fight a supernatural woman! Exclusive!" but she tried to push away urban civilization for now. "Let's go in the woods. Most of us will feel at home there, among the wild. There won't be government agents hanging off every tree, as far as I know!" Everyone laughed. It felt nice to be together, reunited, and friends. "We might've only met a mere 34 hours ago, that doesn't stop us from being bonded forever!" she telepathically transmitted the thought to all her new friends, and each one smiled. San was at peace now, flying high in the early dawn sky, ready for new adventures in the forest. "Hey guys, you were all about to forget the first-aid kit back at New York, but I brought it." Sanura reminded her friends.

(24 hours, silly typos!!)

(I think this would be a good time to make a new pic, since we're in between two "chapters". Then, on the new pic, we would start with something like "they had arrived in the middle of the woods, not too far from a river. It would provide them with fresh water for their stay" or something. Just a suggestion.)

Autumn clambered on Rose's back, making sure to avoid the dragon's wound. "Sorry to keep doing this to you Rose." Autumn said as she nestled down near Rose's neck. She glanced around, counting and making sure everyone was alive and accounted for. Everyone seemed to have settled in so Autumn rested her head and fell asleep...

(Ok. Will draw a new pic when I get home.

San, who was sitting right behind Autumn on Rose's back, naturally saw the cat-shifter fall asleep. "Considering we have nearly 3 hours of wait before we arrive to our destination, if I fall asleep in a slightly unconfortable position, I will wake up approximately 34 minutes before arrival. I believe that makes sense, right?" she thought to herself, then closed her eyes. Her elbow was in an awkward angle, resting on knee. Regardless of the strange position, San fell asleep also, making sure to keep a good distance from Autumn and Ali who was behind her. The other dragon shifter must've been thinking San was trying out contortion for the very first time or something, because getting in the awkward sleeping position Sanura was in was a tricky task. The girl in question also had to make sure she was correctly balanced, because falling off while in flight would most certainly not be pleasant. Then, San dreamed.

Rose was thankful they were sleeping... she wanted silence. She sighed she was a little tired of being a 'mount' but understood why. How else would they get around? The one thing she wouldn't do though was allow Ali to ride her, she was equally capable of flight. Lince was ok, he was severely injured. She flapped once and took to the air, careful to not disturb anyone. She swerved in the air gracefully as a swan. She loved the way the air whistled in her sensitive ears and the scents of lush flowers it brought her. She followed the current, her heart told her it was the correct way. She was suddenly struck with a vision... mountains, trees of many species and flowers that smelled like the wild... her dragon spoke, 'Thats where you must go, you'll be safe for a while.' She felt rain pelt her suddenly. Great, a storm! She thought, slightly annoyed. She normally loved rain, but it stung like ice as she flew fast.

Linces' vision had returned during the flight. Lince wished it hadn't! They were so high off the ground all though he was used to hights hell he could turn into a bird! But Lince still couldn't move and one bump one slip and he'd fall! I hate not being able to move he thought trying to move his hand to grab some kind of hand hold. He was barrly able to look back at Ali from the cornor of his eye. She looked magnifisent in dragon form, he looked back down at the ground and managed a whimper. I rather be flying he thought not that he didn't trust Rose it was just he trusted his own wings more... his brocken wing or brocken arm right now wouldn't work though. Lince stared out for a moment then thought hey I could talk to the witch threw my mind, what about them. He looked up at Night who was next to him. He squinted his eyes consentraiting on talking to her "Night?" He telalized loudly not sure if she'd hear him. Night covered her ears and said "Ow not so loud." (Or what ever you want her to say)

San woke up by the freezing pounding rain, 34 minutes before they would arrive. (We have approximately half an hour to perceive in role-play, let's make it seem a little shorter else it'll get boring.) It wasn't just rain--it was a storm. "Rose, this isn't a good idea... either we fly above the clouds and freeze, or we fly below and get electrocuted." San changed position and sat properly on Rose. She tried to shrink herself as a lightning bolt striked not too far from them, followed closely by the rolling of heavy thunder. "Uh oh..." Sanura could feel the electricity everywhere around her. "This is bad. This is really really bad. Guys, I think we need to get lower. Besides, we haven't slept throughout the whole night, and it's merely eight o'clock now." The lynx girl said as she checked her waterproof watch.

(Eight in the morning, btw. That could easily be misunderstood.)

Night was sitting comfortably on the furry dragons back. It was an amazing experience and Night wished she could fly like Rose, Ali, and Lince too. Night din't want to sleep though, like everyone else. She wanted to think and relax. Besides, someone needed to be awake if one of the people slipped.
Lince was by her and Night was sure to check on him every few minutes. He could tansform into a bird, but she wasn't sure if his broken arm would be a broken wing in "bird mode."
Then Lince called her telepathicly.
(Nah, I won't say that. Night's nice and doesn't mind. ^-^)
"Yeah Lince?" Night transmitted back.

San sensed some telepathic magic going on behind her. (Yeah, Sanura can sense magic. That might be the explanation of why she can read and talk to nature.) "Can I try to sneak in and get to the conversation?" San thought in a locked mode that only she could feel. "Nah, that'd be disrespectful..." One side of her was sticking to her basic etiquette, the other one was dead curious. All San could feel at the moment, is some vibration in the air and a soft buzzing sound in her own head. "This buzz is going to take some time to get used to", she thought. But she still wanted to know... "Argh! No! I must resist! Why do I feel like the evil is taking over me?" San said out loud. When Night and Autumn looked at her strangely, the lynx girl realized her mistake. "Oops, I meant to think that. Don't mind me!" She tried to cover her discomfort by laughing a little, but that only gave her more looks. "Heh, heh, um, what are you looking at...?" she said uneasily.

Night raised an eyebrow and turned back to Lince.
