Pretenders

((Lana))

I heard a siren sound from the lab. Uh oh. I wasn't sure if it was for us or not. It was amazing that we were still alive. All the chaos must've set them off. I look at the forest. Mostly pine trees, good for climbing. I saw Tylana playing around in the high grass, changing to a lion so she blended in with its tan color. Asher and Katrina finally caught up and spoke briefly with Tylana.

"I think it's time to go." Tylana told me. I nodded, this sent a streak of pain through my skull and down my backbone. I groaned and flopped onto the ground. I clutched my head and inhaled sharply. Stupid stupid side effects. Asher crouched down, "We gotta move, they're ending search parties out."

I heard the thuwck thuwck thuwck of helicopters ready to take off. I grunted and pulled myself up. Tylana had turned into a monkey and was now up in a high pine tree.

Leaving. Now. she told me. She took off towards the center of the woods.

"We have to get to the caves!" I shouted, "Keep going through the trees for about a half a mile and you'll come to a cliff. I never heard what happened after that but the new experiments said the werewolf would pick us up there and take us to a safe place."

I felt Tylana nod mentally. Asher and Katrina motioned for me to come. We took off together through the pines. We had a half a mile to go and the helicopters had taken off.

Asher was trying to keep up with everyone else as they ran through the forest. To his right he could see the ocean through the trees. When they passed by a cliff edge Asher stopped.

Along the cliff edge a few miles away he saw some sort of ship yard where empty cages were being loaded onto one of the ships. What are they going to do with those cages? he wondered.

"Asher!"

Asher turned to try and catch up to the others.

(That might make getting off this island a little easier. I'm assuming this place is an island.)

Amber

The Djinni's owner died well and I watched with a sickening interest. A stretched gurgling sound escaped her throat and she thrashed slightly but then suddenly fell still and slipped from her seat when Tranquility let her go.

"How can we be sure that she's dead and the Djinni gone?" Tranquility wondered.

"There's one way," I replied, changing bodies long enough to find that no heart beat in the woman's chest. I stayed in the corpse longer than necessary, remembering how that had felt for the first time, how realisation slowly crept upon you and then so much sorrow, so much anger.

"She's dead," I whispered, transferring myself to Tranquility. "Let's go." I moved both of our bodies through the floor, dropping to ground level and then walked out through the wall and across the landscape towards the fleeing figures. We were followed closely by the scientists but Tranquility's lanky body moved fast.

*Thanks for puting me in the posts.*

I heard the sirens, even as we went farther from the Center. Only a few seconds ago I had been smelling fresh air. It was as if I was cursed, every time I started to enjoy myself something bad happened. Just like dad.

"This is a wonderful kitty, Daddy," my six year old self had said.

"Yeah, isn't it wonderful," he had said. I had nodded my head mutely. "Guess what?"

"What?" I had asked excitedly.

"Tomorrow you get to go to work with me," Dad had said. I could still see myself, my eyes larger than imaginable, my jaw practically on the ground.

"Work?" I had asked stupidly," I thought I wasn't allowed to go to your work."

"I was given an exception." He said stiffly.

"What kind of exception,Daddy?" I asked.

"Just an exception," he replied quickly.

Anger filled withing me once more, why did all these memmories have to slip into my head like a thorn? My shadow became a big blob within me. Then, the next thing I knew, I was floating, standing on my shadow. I never thought it was possible, but my shadow was solid, and floating. I slowly sat down, standing up while your shadow moved at high speed was not a good idea. I never thought that this was such a good ability to have.

Lethero stood there near the shore in the middle of the darkest part of night. To pass the time he manipulated the water and made it do simple tricks. All of a sudden he saw shadows running toward him. He pulled out his knife and freezes the water till they were sharp as daggers and waited till the shadows drew closer.

Tylana-

Tylana didn't know how they had hid out until dark and stayed away from the search groups. When she saw the figure on the docks she tensed up, but she was pushed ahead by Trent. The Djinni had disappeared earlier. His master had been killed. Trent walked towards the figure and Tylana looked towards the water. Some of it stood frozen looking like daggers. She grabbed Trent's shoulder and motioned towards them.


Trent-

Trent muttered a "Thanks" and looked at the figure cautiously. "Are you the one that is supposed to help us get out of here?" he asked slowly walking towards the guy ready to change in a second if the need arose.

(What, is this storybook dead already? I was kinda hoping to see how the story would turn out once we got to civilization.)

**I want it to stick around too. I just gotta get people to post again. Let me send some PM's out and see if they will come back. I'm all up for keeping it going no matter how many people come back. **

I'm still hanging around, just need to catch my character up to you guys and I have a possiblt plot plan actually. My character is planning on going rogue and going after the guy who killed her for revenge. Perhaps the other characters would like to try to stop her? How's that sound?

I missed a few days. Can anyone PM me on what happened/is happening and where my characters are?

Thanks! I'm still here!

**I'm going to be away for a few more days, but I'm up for catching up with the rest of the group as soon as I can.**

Ok, sorry I wasn't here here. I didn't get the pm till later.ok, so i shall post.

katrina-

I now had a slight idea how birds must feel, the wind rushing by. I was amazed, Ihad never had so much feeling of power I always felt that I got left with the sucky abitity. Soon everybody stoppend. A girl who calls herself Tylanna spoke to soemone, he was holding a knife. "Are you the one who's supposed to get us out of here?" the guy who calls himself trent, said.

"Yes." He said. I eyed the ice dagers from the water. Now THAT was cool. slowlly the ice daggers started to melt back into water, but he still held the knife.


*sorry about the whole "i" 'i' 'i' in the begining. I had it in 3rd person before. Sorry about that 'who calls her/himself" thing. I forgot if you guys introduced me to urselves. anyway, i posted, didn't I?*

In response to kitty's idea, I think we should just get off the island and get on with the story. I mean, how many pages have we gone through already? And we're still not off the island! Asher saw some boats loading empty cages, maybe they can stow away on those and get off when they reach civilization?

*Crap, bell just rang. I'll post in a bit*

((Sorry if I'm not really too active. I don't have much time to post because of mid terms. If theres a plot I can post along with that but I don't have enough time to kind of pull stuff outta my head. I'm shot XD. If you get a plot goin', I'll follow.))
