"... Amaya, those two are heading for a cave. Should we follow?"
"Hm..." Amaya thought for a moment. They could either follow the two ((Shane and peace, did they introduce themselves?)) or follow they others. The cave, of course, could do well as a hiding place, but what were to happen if it was a dead end? If the chasers decided to follow them into the cave, what then? She'd have to protect the three, Yukio and the other two boys, but who was to say that those who were chasing them were ordinary shifters? For all they knew, it could have been the dark gang. ((Wait, Darkshadow, did you say it was the dark gang chasing us? I'm not sure so.... Also, Loli,ncan we die in this rp...? I hope not but...))
"What do you think, short-stuff? Go or not?"
There were two options really, seeing as they could not keep running. So, fight or flight? Yukio wanted to fight, to get this over with, but if he picked the wrong opponent... He could very well wind up dead. He felt going with the bigger group would be a better opinion, but also felt that if they split up, they'd be quicker.
"Let us try the cave. I see no harm in that."
"If you say so...."
Veering a sharp left, Amaya's shadow passed across the ground, in front of the other four below them. ((This is more of like a trying to get your attention... So your characters can see where we're going. I'm assuming here that Shane and peace broke off from the group already...))

Shane and Peace accompanied by Amaya and Yukio (Correct me if i'm wrong) all dash for the cave. Shane "What type of prank is this it's only a empty cliff face Peace I know you like pranks but it's going to get us killed". Peace "I said a cave I didn't say it was opened" Peace throws his staff to Shane. Peace "but remember who your with". Peace runs straight at the wall of rock and uses his power to open a door "see I knew what I was doing, get in". Everyone makes it in. Shane "Finally I can breath". Peace "before you breath give me my staff so I can close the door". Shane "right". Peace "door is closed, but we are not done yet". Shane "what now". Peace "look around". Shane "I see vines what about it". Peace "you're the smart one tell me what am I thinking". Shane "Were going to help those guys aren't we?". Peace "Yep". Shane "Lets save that group". Shane "As for you two your day has been as insane as ours or anyone else in our group so lets just be allies for now at least". Shane "also Peace and I have a plan to help the others we like friends more than enemies". Peace "basically we hate bully's". Peace "Shane you ready". Shane "way ahead of you". Shane ties the vines on the small caves walls together making a slight staircase. Peace "going up". The group heads up Peace Makes a hole in the roof Peace is the last out. Shane "you grab some of those vines?". Peace "Yes". Shane "I have the stick". Amaya "what are you two...". Peace "wait for it". Shane bends the stick and ties the vines to make the curve stay Amaya "A bow! But what about arrows?". Shane takes out the 5 arrows they took before then Peace shifts into his Vulnyx and uses his enhanced eyesight to tell Shane where to fire, he sees figures going after the other four. Peace "Rawr". Shane "nailed it wait" they see the others continue running. Shane "they didn't see it I think they think there still being chased". Peace (human now) "C'mon lets move". Shane "agreed".

(So is there a limit to there elemental skills?)

((Welp, my phone erased my post.... Great I have to redo this again -_- I'll try to remember my original post))
Yukio sighed. He guessed he didn't mind staying with this group for a while longer. It seemed as if Caldwell and Shade were hiding something, information that could be useful later on. "Very well. Let us make haste. Amaya?"
Said girl smirked, before replying "You're awfully lucky I listen to you, kid, if not your head would have been mine." Saying thus, She jumped off the roof as Yukio tightened his grip around her neck, pulling Shane and Peace with her. ((Sry peace!)) "Yukio!"
The boy responded quickly, this having been the second time so far they were in need of his abilities. Concentrating, Yukio waved a hand in the air, and a water platform formed beneath them, lowering them to the ground.
"Ha, let's go get the others then." Saying this, Amaya took to the trees again, not caring if the brothers followed her.

Shade see some of the others run towards the cave but they did not. They ducked behind a tree and turned into their animals. They ran back the way the came, shocking the others. They reached the gang in no time at all. Shade set fire to her wings and set fire to the ground in front of them, preventing them from moving on. They stopped and stared...then gave up and went back. 10 minutes had gone and Dmitri and Shade were still there. Shade turned back into her animal and made the blaze die down. "Did any escape, Dmitri?" Dmitri shook his head. "They've pi55ed off the wrong people today." There was a sword on the ground she picked it up and examined it. She gasped sharply and threw jt on the ground, eyeing it suspiciously. "That's one of the Dark Gang's swords." Shade held her nose. Dmitri cursed. "How could they have found us already? Its only been a week since our last...interaction." Shade paced back and forth. "We have to tell the others who it was, but we can't tell them how we know. Otherwise, we're screwed." They nodded and ran to the cave to explain to the others what's happened.

Soltra8, you can die, but only if you want to. Other people are not allowed to kill your characters :D

Running is so much trouble Sakura thought, as she shifted into her fox form. She liked being a fox much better, but staying like that for too long was exhausting. She could run faster though. Sakura glanced towards Caldwell, who was near the front of the group. Gosh he's fast. She wondered if he was a shifter or not, and if so, what animal he would become. He looked around shiftily, as if looking for a way to ditch the rest of the group. She was itching for a fight too, but the other people might get in the way.
~~~~~~~~~
Caldwell glanced back at the group around him. He noticed that Sakura had shifted into a fox. Interesting. He heard the others up ahead talking about a cave. He couldn't stand the thought of being in a cave with a bunch of people. Plus, what if they got trapped in and slaughtered where they were. He shuddered. Not a pleasant thought. He turned around again and caught Sakura's eye. Although he didn't know her, she seemed like she would be a good ally, despite her grumpy attitude. He gestured with his head for her to come to her and slowed down. "The others want to hide."
"I know," he replied, finding it slightly weird that he was speaking to a fox. "We'll go with them, but we'll wait outside in case anyone comes for them." She nodded as though she had been thinking the same thing.
The pair waited outside silently. Sakura kicked a stone around on the ground, still shifted. Caldy couldn't help but snort at her childish behaviour, knowing he would never do that. She gave him a death stare before continuing.
Eventually they heard a crash from above and saw the Amaya, Yukio, Shane and Peace all tumbling down the cliff. Caldwell put his head in his hands, muttering "way to be conspicuous". They ran forward before even noticing them.
"Come back!" yelled Sakura, trying to catch their attention, before the thief (Shade) and her companion came running up to them, holding a midnight black sword.

(( @_@ I'm confuuuuuuuused. Wait so the gang ran it did shades fire kill them???? Or did Shane's/leaves arrows kill them???? And er.... wait so who did we see running???? @_@ Other than that: lol Loli, we didn't tumble down the cliff XD also - sry for pinging everyone))

(okay just making sure I got this right fire killed the guys Shane and Peace didn't hit, and the group is now camping in front of a cave. We were in fact being chased by the Dark gang. All 8 people are now allies and together. Did I get it right?)
Shane "(now gasping for breath) okay we killed the gang, set a fire, (looks down) and now have a pet fox". Peace "Best day ever!". Shane looks at Peace awkwardly. Shane "anyway what now". Peace "Shane there tired and so am I i'm going to sleep, you should to." Shane "fine". Shane uses his power to make a vine hammock. Peace "Goodnight everybody". Peace sleeps on the ground which makes him feel comfortable having the earth around him.

Shade and Dmitri sat on the cave floor. They were shot confused and suspicious looks so Shade finally said. "I don't sleep." That seemed an appropriate answer as they all swiftly went to sleep. Shade twisted the sword back and forth in her hand. "It wasn't theirs anyway, so i shouldn't have to give it back. I mean, i was doing everyone a favor stealing that...thing. Like they were gonna destroy stiff with it so its better with me and.." Dmitri silenced her by putting a hand on her knee. "I know, Shade. But they're still ticked off." Shade reached inside her cape. "Yep still there...its just, i don't want to danger these people by having it." Dmitri chuckled. "I'm sure we can handle it." They sat in silence until the next morning keeping close eye out for danger, and the gang.

(The next morning)
Shane (Whispering) "Peace are you up yet". Peace "yes what's up". Shane "I have been thinking why was the the dark gang after us". Peace "according to Dmitri it's Shade". Shane "no not that, I mean they used the best poison known to man, risked there archers, and only to hunt a group of 8, Shade isn't the reason". Peace "fine what is the answer Shane?". Shane "I think the dark gang knows something that we don't and are trying to clear us out". Owl "Hoot". They both look up at a owl in the trees. Peace "don't owls come out at night". The owl shifts to Shade. Both brothers "Aaahh....". Shade "calm down I don't sleep, right Dmitri". Peace "again, you are stalking us again". Shade "calm down, and listen up, your brother just scored a home run". Peace "he doesn't even have a bat". Shade just looks at him and Peace starts bending his head. Shade "it is not the time for jokes". Dmitri "Should we tell?". Shade "let me think about it".

Sorry Soltra, I was kind of confused. Had no idea what was going on for a bit XD
Sakura was woken up by whispers across from her. She saw the brothers there, speaking quietly. What are they up to? She tip toed over to them burst in between them. "Watchya talking about?" She stared at each of them, hoping that she scared them. She also noticed that her loud talking had woken everyone else in the cave up. Woops. Oh well, she thought. At least now we can all split up earlier.
Little did she know that this group would not be splitting for a while.
