*i would appreciate it if you don't control MY characters, thanks. Don't mean to sound rude.*

Shade looked at Dmitri. "What are you doing?" Between gritted teeth he replied. "Trying to get the poison out of this thing, it could be useful." Shade rolled her eyes. "Why don't you just use the sword, and let it do its job?" He paused then said stupidly. "OH YEAH!" Shade shook her head and turned into her animal form. She sped into the cave and perched above Dmitri. "You're not my mother back off." Shade returned to human form and laughed. "Your mother's scary!" She laughed harder at everyone elses confused faces and Dmitris glare. "How can you be sp cheery at a time like thus?" Dmitri asked the question on everyone's mind.
"Because, you never know which moment is going to be your last, so make the most of it. What's the point in being miserable when Life has a lot more to offer? Whenever I got hunted, In my head, I went back to the time when i used to race my friends, to try and be top dog. That makes me run faster, fight harder, become stronger...also, it gives you the courage to laugh in your attackers face!" She watched as the fire smouldered away. Dmitri moved to get up then stopped as Shade said. "I'll get it." Her eyes flashed a blood red for an instant as the fire burst into life."Why couldn't you do that earlier, when we were struggling to light it?" Dmitri asked frustrated. "'cause, i couldn't be bothered, and you looked funny!" Shade laughed at Dmitris furious face.

(Sorry)
Peace "Why is everyone surprising us today". Shane "actually most of the surprises were yesterday".Peace "okay wise guy, whats the plan". Shane "well lets face it we are all lost, so I say when everyone is up and moving we get some exploring done". Peace (smiling) "Now your speaking my language".

*Its ok! You didn't know not to!*

"Exploring, really? I'm sure SOMEONE in here knows there way around these parts..." Silence. "I said...." Suddenly, Dmitri sprung up and said. "Oh yeah! I know my way around anywhere!" Shade shook her head. "Yeah, you just killed it." Dmitri pouted like a 5 year old. "Hey, why don't we...?" The sound of twigs snapping could be heard from outside. Shade motioned for everyone to hush. She turned into her animal and casually flew out and perched on a tree branch. She looked around and saw people dressed in black creeping towards the cave. Shade, panicked, cawed to the others. One of the people saw her and fired an arrow. She caught in her talon, turned around and threw it straight back. Now, she add all their attention. With one quick look of terror, she sped off in the opposite direction to the cave, leading the gang away from her new friends.

After he was sure they were gone, Dmitri looked out of the cave sorrowfully. "Shade." He murmured softly. "We have to move out...I doubt they were the only ones...and I'm sure Shade can look after herself." That seemed to answer all the questions so they quickly packed up and stealthily, exited the cave.

Actually, Dmitri was completely wrong. Shade was in deep trouble. She was vastly out numbered and couldn't keep up this speed and strength when flying for long. She didn't want to admit it, but for once, she did need help.

Shane "Sorry Dmitri but are you sure she will be okay". Peace "none of us are quite ready to completely leave her, and I have a idea". Shane "it's clever and it has to do with your powers doesn't it". Peace "How do you... Never mind, everyone follow me". Peace runs outside and makes a very poor staircase of stone". Shane "move to higher ground". Shane once everyone is up makes a tree fall on the staircase destroying it. (note: since we were in a cave i'm assuming mountain in the forest) Shane "lets go". After a bit of running they see Shade (still shifted). Shane "Peace shift now tell me where to fire, before we lose the flat stretch and have to rock climb to keep up". Shane takes out the bow again 4 arrows left 4 targets Peace by his side using his eyesight to help Shane aim. First shot direct hit, second hits his arm poison does the rest, third person starts zigzagging but Shane aims for the center of his path for a hit, fourth Shane fingers slip releasing the final arrow, it misses. Peace not willing to give up jumps (cats always land on their feet and Vulnyx are naturally fast as well) Peace stays close to the mountain trying not to get noticed, but this fails the dark gang fires at Peace this time around instead of shade (who by the way looks nearly ready to die even as a animal). Peace goes human and whacks the arrow in midair with his staff. Peace (at gang member)"i'm just as amazed as you are". Picks up the arrow and throws it as high as he can Shane catches it, Shane strings it and tries aiming as best as he can (without Peace he Isn't a good shot but like his brother he is stubborn and refuses to give). Shane "last shot before we are out of stretch". Shane fires the arrow, but instead of doing what expected the arrow hits the dark gang members bow out of his hand. Peace Shifts again and pounces pinning him on the ground (Peace is very familiar with pinning needing to do it in order to win wrestling matches with his brother) but doesn't kill him just waits for someone who isn't a animal to interrogate him for info. Shade finally can't fly anymore and falls to the ground exhausted.
(Summing up just in case you are confused everyone went after Shade, and the dark gang. They killed off all but one of Shades pursuers the one alive is being pinned down by a Vulnyx (Peace) and is currently waiting for someone (human Peace can't shift back out of worry of giving his prey a chance to run) to interrogate for info. Everyone can easily get down to Peace and, Shade is tired on the ground still a bird.)

((Alright Imma introduce my new character ^^ let's see how badly this goes.... XD))
~Arashi's Side~
Flying all the way from Aeir's capital to Gleasra ((excuse my spelling, and Arashi's from Aeir, so Loli might wanna update that...)) was tiring, but the griffin pushed forwards anyway, stopping only when he saw a group of people gathered in a clearing. ((Here I'm assuming we're in a clearing))
"So who's gonna do the interrogation, huh? This is, if I am not wrong, a member of the dark gang."
What the raven haired teen (Amaya) said caught his attention, and the Griffin was thankful his hearing was better than most others. Swooping down, Arashi shifted to his human form, landing on a branch not too far away to hear their conversation.

~Now Arashi's introduced to us, Amaya and Yukio Side~
"So who's gonna do the interrogation, huh? This is, if I am not wrong, a member of the dark gang."
What Amaya said worried Yukio, why was the gang after them? And just how did Amaya knew the person pinned down by Peace was a member?
"Amaya," he said, eyes narrowing. "Just how did you-"
"Easy. I did my research." Said girl replied, lips tugging upwards when she noticed the boy on her back began to twitch an eye in annoyance. He apparently didn't like to be cut off.
"Hey... Yukio, do me a favor," Amaya whispered, turning slightly in said boy's direction. She had, a few seconds ago, herd the rustling of tree leaves and guessed that someone had perched themselves on a branch nearby. And she knew exactly where. "Think you can shoot a ice spike behind you, slightly above your head?" Amaya continued in a voice she knew no one but Yukio and her could hear.
"... Very well. I will give it a shot." Yukio said, as Amaya placed him on the ground. She still could not believe how short he was for his age. He could have easily passed of as a 11 year old! (Abt 1.3 - 1.4 meters)
Yukio placed a hand behind his back, aiming it at where Amaya had said to, concentrating, before flexing his fingers. He hoped no one saw as he fire an Ice shot behind him, thankful no one of their group was behind him and Amaya (they're at the end of the group so you all are in front~).
"AH!" Sure enough, a scream was heard in the direction Amaya specified, and a teen fell from the trees. Amaya was there in an instant, dagger to his neck. "Who are you?"
"I-I-I'm Arashi...." ((He's scared, there's a dagger to his neck after all))

(Sorry, I'll get onto that XD )
Sakura rolled her eyes. ANOTHER STRANGER! It seemed that she just kept on getting pushed with more and more people! And not one of them seemed to have the wit to respond to this boy (just like to say I don't actually think this, it's just Sakura being narky XD).
I suppose I must then. She pulled her knife from it's sheath and threw it, catching it by the blade each time. "Yeah, like knowing your name helps us, pretty boy," she snapped at him bitterly, trying to act nonchalant. She was so not in the mood for more socialising with people. It would be so much easier to switch and run away, but she got the feeling that she would be putting herself in danger if she ditched these guys. Plus, she found it quite interesting slowly finding out all of their intelligence.
Caldwell couldn't believe how much Sakura lacked in class. "I believe that the proper question is why were you hiding in a tree?" he instead asked. He shot a look at Sakura, trying to mentally tell her to keep her mouth shut. Although she did, she also came next to Caldy and leaned on his shoulder, no doubt to annoy him. She smirked.
Caldwell sent small waves of ice to his hands. Gleasra was getting warmer by the day, which meant that time was running out. He didn't want to be wasting so much time with petty criminals. He had to get to Central.

((YIKES. I forgot to add that Arashi can be timid and usually tells the truth... Is it too late to add that to his personality? Also, I'll write Arashi with a seperate PoV than Yukio and Amaya ^^))
~Arashi~
"Well, I'd love to answer that, but er..." Arashi said, glancing at the dagger aimed at his throat. The holder rolled her eyes, before tossing it in the air and catching it, placing it in one of her boots. "Well... I was flying overhead and heard that you have captured a member of the dark gang?" He continued, flinching in fear of one of them attacking him.
"Oh please," the girl who had previously held a dagger to his neck scoffed. "As long as you don't do anything stupid, we won't hurt you."
"Oh... Er alright then... Since I didn't know any of you... I thought I'd hide and see how things went... Wasn't really expecting to be found though..." Arashi said, rubbing the back if his neck sheepishly. ((Here I'm assuming that to get to central, Aeir and Usice members must pass through Gleasra, along with The other clans...))
"We can see that. What's your business here anyway? Why would you go anywhere near the Night forest?" This time, it was the boy she had given a piggyback ride to, although he was standing.
"Ah... I meant to get to central actually..." Giving a nervous laugh, Arashi began to slowly back off ready to break into a run if need be. "I guess I should... Go?"
((Arashi hasn't run yet, so next person might wanna try to stop him....))

"Well pretty boy, it's your lucky day. You've managed to stumble upon the worlds largest pilgrimage to Central." Sakura theatrically waved her hands around, gesturing to the rest of the group. She flipped her hair and tried sounding bad a**, but just ended up sounding like a grungy teen. Which is what she was. "Anyway, I don't care any more, I'm going to Central whether you guys follow me or not."
Turning around and not looking back to see if she was being followed, she realised that she hadn't even intended to go to Central at all. Nonetheless, she had already invested too much effort in these people, learning about them, to give up now.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Caldwell shrugged at the rest of the group, some of whom were giving Sakura some very nasty looks. He was the first to follow her through the forest. He figured she was probably the best person to lead currently, since Gleasra was her homeland. He noticed she kept on fiddling with the piercings on her right ear. She was fidgety. Suddenly Sakura shifted into fox form, undoubtedly because it's easier to navigate that way. He glanced behind him to see if anyone else had shifted as well.

Arashi's PoV
Upon seeing the green haired girl shift and run into the forest, Arashi proceeded to shift himself and took to the sky, keeping an eye out for the green fox below him. She had, afterall, said that the group was going to Central, and of she wanted to lead the way, Arashi would follow. Looking down for a lasts check to the others, he saw the snow haired boy and his companion following the fox, with another of the group - the boy with blue hair that looked black - in tow. The others just stood and stared at them, and Arashi wasn't quite sure whether they'd follow, but at the moment? He couldn't care any less, so long he get to where he need be.

Yukio and Amaya's PoV
Yukio glanced at his companion. Though he hated to admit it, he had started to grow fond of Amaya, in the sense that he would rather take on this journey with her then alone, as he had initially thought. She was helpful to him, being able to make up for his weaknesses, such as speed and quick-thinking.
"Shall we go then?"
"Did you need to ask?" Amaya flashed him a smile, before grabbing his arm and pulling him to chase after the fox. ((Sorry Im assuming that Sakura's gonna run.....)) "Come on!" She shouted back to the others, "If you're going to central, I'd suggest you'd follow."
Yukio shook his head, what an idiot. She didn't need to yell that, he thought. Rolling his eyes, Yukio brushed off Amaya's loosening grip on his arm, and did his best to run after her. He wouldn't shift now, there was no need, they had a guide after all. And this group of five, it would work, if the others didn't follow, they had another from the water clan, one from earth, another from blood, and apparently one from air. He had noticed, that when Arashi fell form the tree, that the older teen had created a small gust of air to soften his landing, though it appeared that he didn't do well in surprise situations, seeing as how he still landed rather roughly.
"Ya need help there, shorty?"
Yukio growled at his given nickname, he didn't like it when he was called short, no matter how true it was. "No. Not as of yet."
Amaya gave a small laugh. "If ya need help, just call, mmkay?"
Yukio sighed once again as she took to the trees. Boy was this day hectic. ((Note: During their day (you could say it was two...) together, Amaya had to help Yukio move around, Yukio's stamina isn't that good. So basically, Yukio doesn't like Amaya, but they make a good pair, although Yukio ended up getting carried alot :P So that's what Amaya meant by if Yukio needed help))

Shane finally jumped down from the ledge off the cliff in to a tree, and then once more to get on the ground. Shane used his powers to mummy wrap the dark gang member feet, arms, mouth, and all. Peace then picks up the dark gang member like a cat would pick up a kitten (he is still Vulnyx) in his fangs, and follows the others with Shane, they are on the move.
