@bluewolf @sarahzafirah Starting rp!!!!!!!!!!![Elina]Elina awoke to the sound of bells and she knew it was recruitment time. She slid out of bed and put on her military black clothes and left her room. On her way to the Meeting Hall, she thought of how she had gotten here and shuddered as she recalled the memory. She was only 9 when they discovered that she was "different"...................Elina was just walking home from school when bandits tried to rob here but she got a little to angry and she shifted, killing them all but one and that one bandit ran off and snitched on her. The government waited until Elina was 11 before they took here and they took her by force. They stormed her house and aimed all there weapons at here as they cuffed here, she struggled against the cuffs as she watched her parents get beat for giving birth to a Supernatural. She screamed as they took her and she remembered her neighbors and old friends throwing garbage and rocks at her as they escorted her away..........................That was how she had gotten here and every time she thought of the memory she shuddered and tears were brought to her eyes but she blinked the tears away as she entered the Meeting Hall. She found an empty seat in the back and watched all the government officials take their seats in the front of the room. This meeting would be broadcasted to T.P.S so they would be able to prepare for their arrival. Elina frowned and nearly growled as the officials began their speech about how these new recruits will help us when the war and about how they would remove the recruits easily and quietly but Elina knew how that went because she went through it herself. She could she the people being ripped from their calm lives and loving families and through into a world of hatred and killing. She felt her canines and claws growing and her senses heightening from her anger and hatred for the government. She used her senses to listen to the officials after they finished the speech and saw them frowning deeply and taking trash about the citizens of T.P.S and about killing off all Supernaturals after the war. Elina hatred and anger for the government grew as she put those words to memory. Then she followed everyone out of the Meeting Hall and towards the cafeteria. She could hear generals telling the soldiers that after breakfast they would be going to T.P.S for recruits and told them which sectors of T.P.S to search. Elina was assigned Sector 7 of all 9 sectors. The sector she was assigned to was where she was taken from and where most recruits came from because it made up most of the population. Once she was in the cafeteria, she felt she had lost her appetite as she saw what the human soldiers had spray painted on the tables, that the Supernaturals were assigned. The words were disgusting and mean and they made Elina sick with anger and literally sick. She quickly left the cafeteria and ran to her group of soldiers she would be traveling with and then they took there leave and headed for the city. [Sophie]Sophie heard the bells and quickly jumped out of bed and slipped her dress on. She quickly ran an the halls until she got to the Meeting Hall. She hardly paid attention to the speech and then she left the hall with everyone else. She passed the cafeteria like she always did in the morning because she didn't really like what they served. She continued to run down the halls until she pushed open the front doors and her feet landed on soft green grass. Sophie saw soldiers running about, going to and from one group to the other. She remembered that her group was to search Sector 4 so she made her way to her group and watched as soldiers scrambled out of her path and she tilted her head to the side a little, confused. Of course Sophie doesn't know how she had gotten into the military because she always thought she belonged here and that it was home but really she was brought here from birth and raised here until she was old enough to enter the military. Sophie also didn't know that people were afraid to talk trash to her or do anything to her because she was basically the government's pet. Once she got to her group, they instantly jumped into the car and began to drive to T.P.S.[Zane]Zane had always wanted to get recruited into the government after the day his sister was kidnapped by the government. He tried a lot of things to get into the government but all it did was just put him into T.P.S. It just frustrated him because e was so close but yet so far away from his sister until the recruitment days came. He got to see her most of the time but he knew if he tried to confront her they would both get in trouble. Zane always wanted for the recruitment days and he hoped he would see his sister. Today was no different, it was a recruitment day and he had a feeling he would get to see her. He knew the routine for when the soldiers were arriving and that was anyone eligible of being apart of the government has to stand in the street away from the houses. Zane followed others out onto the street and waited for the soldiers and his sister to arrive.(ONE OF YOU CAN BE IN SECTOR 7 AND ONE OF YOU CAN BE IN SECTOR 4 OR YOU BOTH CAN BE IN THE SAME SECTOR. EITHER WAY WORKS, I DON'T CARE BUT YOU HAVE TELL ME WHAT YOU DECIDE)

(I'll go with sector 7, I guess. )Leanne quietly stood away from all of the houses, just as everyone else who was eligible to be recruited by the government was required to do. She loathed these so called "recruitment days" more than anything. If it were up to her, she would go hide away in a dark corner until the soldiers left, but after trying it once when she was younger, she knew the consequences of doing so were awful. It was safer to do what everyone else was doing than to deviate away from the majority.So, Leanne stood hunched over with her arms folded across her chest, trying to appear as small and helpless as possible. Her gray hoodie, that was a size or two too big for her small frame, helped in her goal of appearing even smaller than she already was. Being chosen to become part of the government was Leanne's biggest fear, and she did everything in her power to avoid that fate. In training sessions, she pretended to struggle with her abilities as if she had no idea how to control them. That was far from the truth, of course, since Leanne had her abilities mastered for as long as she could remember. Along with pretending to have trouble with her powers, she also did her best to stay hidden from the spotlight. She shuffled quietly along through her days, always wearing a sweatshirt or t-shirt a size too big for her. She remained virtually unknown by most people. Few people ever talked to her since she put on a cold and unwelcoming appearance, even though she did enjoy the company of others supernaturals like her.Hopefully all of her efforts would be rewarded with not becoming part of the government. She couldn't possibly be the cause for someone else's death ever again.

@bluewolf [Elina]Elina pulled the hood of her cloak over her head and put her sunglasses on once they arrived at T.P.S and then she stepped out of the truck. Elina's eyes scanned all the recruits that were lined up on the streets and she smirked as she looked at all their faces. Her group was supposed to take 2 recruits. Elina was the one incharge of the group because she was higher ranked. "Don't be rough with them, unless you want to be punished" Elina growled as she gave each of her group members a stern look. They all nodded and followed her done the line of recruits. Her eyes searched all the recruits faces, looking for her brother. She had always waited for the day, where she was higher then the rest of her group members and could pick the recruits and today she had gotten her wish and it made her smile. Her eyes hadn't found her brother yet but they did land on a girl with wavy light brown hair, who was trying to make herself look small and useless but Elina could see the power and strength in her. Elina also could see a fear in the girl and could practically smell it on her. Elina felt sorry for the girl because she was the perfect recruit and Elina knew she had to pick her. "I'm so sorry" Elina mumbled under her breath before she stopped in front of the girl and looked her in the eye, through her sunglasses. Elina slipped off her hood and placed her sunglasses on her head. "State your name, girl" Elina commanded, sternly but her eyes were apologetic.(Elina taking to Leanne, Blue. Just in case you didn't know)[Zane]Zane was farther down the line from his sister and he watched as she stopped in front of a weak-looking girl. He wished he was farther up in the line so he could have been picked before the girl because he could sense her fear but he also could sense her power and strength, that was hidden under a weak exterior. Zane wanted to shout out to his sister but he knew he would be punished so he stayed quiet and still. His eyes stayed on his sister and he waited for her to spot him.[Sophie]Sophie arrived with her group at Sector 4 of T.P.S and she fluttered her wings and flew from the vehicle. She went ahead of her group and studied each of the recruits. Her eyes found many good recruits but she needed to find a fearless recruit who wouldn't worry about others. She spotted a broad-shouldered boy with short blonde hair. Sophie smiled, evilly and flew in front of the boy. He didn't flinch away from her and he looked straight into her eyes. Sophie knew that the officials would be happy with this recruit so she motioned for the other members to grab him, then she continued to search for a second recruit.

@cutebirdy79Leanne shuddered as the soldier's truck came into view, and soon stopped close to where she was currently standing. Almost instantly, the vehicle spilled out a group of well trained soldiers, all dressed in black uniforms. Leanne's eyes fell on the leader of the group, but she couldn't tell much about said leader since they had a cloak and hood covering them. Typical. These leaders were always trying to appear tougher than they really were. It was almost hard for Leanne to suppress a disgusted snort and appear frightened.Leanne's façade of fear soon turned real, however, when the leader came to a sudden halt directly in front of her, and she began to shake. Leanne looked up at the hooded figure, only to find herself staring into her scared reflection through the soldier's sunglasses. Then, as if on cue, the figure slipped off their hood and sunglasses, which allowed Leanne to finally take in some features. It turned out that this leader was a girl with chin length, auburn colored hair and amber eyes. She was taller than Leanne, but then again, mostly everyone seemed to be taller than her.So why would this leader choose to stop in front of her? What could she have done wrong? Leanne had done everything in her power to appear small and weak. She even went out of her way to avoid doing anything that would bring the slightest amount of unwanted attention. So why stop in front of the smaller than average, weak girl who completely blended in? Maybe this leader was simply going to tell her to man-up and stand up straight. At least, that's what Leanne hoped for.All of these thoughts flashed through Leanne's mind in a matter of seconds, and in that time, her shaking had become uncontrollable. She was so frightened in fact, that when the leader asked for her name in a stern voice, Leanne practically jumped out of her skin. She unconsciously fiddled with her blue, glass bead necklace in an attempt to somewhat calm herself. "L-L-Leanne Adams," Leanne managed to stutter as she stared up at the leader, begging with her eyes to be left alone. Her shaking continued to intensify as she shrinked backwards, struggling at this point to keep her abilities under control. High levels of emotion and stress always did this to her.
cutebirdy79 • 11 May 2014 at 2:08 PM
@bluewolf[Elina]Elina put the girl's name to memory and watched as her body began to shudder with fear. Elina knew she had to calm Leanne down. Elina turned to her other group members. "Hand me that clipboard" Elina growled out. The soldier stepped forward and handed her the clipboard with every T.P.S citizen's information. Elina scanned the papers until she got to Leanne's information. She saw that Leanne 's power was shapeshifting and telepathic communication only in one of her animal forms. She also saw that it was hard for Leanne to stay in control of her human form ehen under stress and when she was overwhelmed with emotions. Elina looked over Leanne and knew she was overwhelmed so Elina thought she would give her some space. As she was backing away from Leanne, Elina leaned in and whispered "I'm coming back for you". Then she continued down the line and spotted her brother. When she saw her brother she was overwhelmed with emotions and felt like crying. She turned to her soldiers. "I got both recruits so go back to rhe truck. NOW!!!!!!!" Elina growled out. All the soldiers grew scared and ran off back to the truck. When Elina knew they were far enough, she ran over to her brother and jumped into his arms. "I've missed you so much, Zane" Elina sniffled as she began to cry and hug her brother close.[Zane]Zane watched his sister as she talked to the girl recruit and he heard the girl stutter out her name. He felt sorry for the girl because she was so fearful and scared. Then ehen his sister walked away from her, he was surprised. Then when he knew she spotted him, he was even more surprised when she growled out at her soldiers and then ran to him after the soldiers ran off. When his sister began to cry in his arms he began to get teary but he blinked the tears away. "I missed you too, Elina" Zane whispered as he stroked his sister's hair. After his sister stopped crying, she looked over at the girl recruit. [Elina]Elina sniffled as she looked over at Leanne. She grabbed her brother's hand and walked over to Leanne. Elina stopped in front of her and gave her a smile. "Your coming with us, right?" Elina asked sweetly.
okami • 11 May 2014 at 4:52 PM
@cutebirdy79Leanne breathed rapidly as the leader of the group scanned over a bunch of papers. It was easy enough for her to figure out that the papers must list the powers and type of supernatural each person was. What else would they contain, that's all the government cared about after all. Leanne watched as the leader scanned over the papers until their eyes finally stopped on a spot, which was no doubt her information. She couldn't imagine what was recorded down for her, but all she knew was that she didn't want to know. It angered her that the government had all of this information at their disposal. Like it was really any of their business.Leanne then noticed that this leader was backing away from her. For a brief moment, she felt happy thinking that this girl was going to leave her alone. They probably thought Leanne's power was too useless to be of any good to the government, or figured that she wasn't soldier material. Leanne's happiness soon turned to dread, however, when the girl whispered that they would be back. She fell to her knees and continued to shudder, her whole body just overcome by hopelessness.She then observed as this leader yelled at her group to return to their truck, then ran over to someone and leaped into a hug. 'How professional,' Leanne thought to herself, annoyed. The guy who she was currently hugging must be a relative of some sort. Probably the leader's brother, judging by how old and similar they both looked. Leanne then saw that the two of them were walking towards her, and felt herself begin to panic. Leanne continued to stay on her knees, for she didn't see any reason not to. When the leader stopped in front of her and asked if Leanne was coming, she gave an angry snort. Tears began to form in her eyes as she looked up angrily at the leader. "You're asking that as if I have some kind of choice," Leanne growled with a worried and angry laugh as she blinked away her tears. She knew that she probably looked like a pathetic and crazy person at this point, but she didn't care. Leanne then sat back and stared up stubbornly at the leader. "If you want me to become a government drained, killing machine like you, you're going to have to make me. I'm not going to become some government lapdog by choice," Leanne snarled at the girl with her eyes narrowed. Leanne knew that she was being mean, and part of her felt awful for it. She knew that she would never forgive herself, though, if she went with these people by choice. Leanne also didn't know how to feel about this leader girl. She seemed nice enough, but Leanne was still angry that they had chosen her out of all the potential recruits.
cutebirdy79 • 11 May 2014 at 10:36 PM
@bluewolf[Elina/Zane]Elina felt a wave of anger wash over as Leanne's words met her ears. "How dare you" Elina growled as her claws and teeth sharpened and her eyes began to turned to slits. She was beginning to shift. Zane saw this and pushed her behind him. "Elina, control yourself" he growled out through gritted teeth. He saw her taking deep breaths, trying to calm herself. She then looked up at him with human eyes and nodded. He took a second to make sure she was under control then he let her look at Leanne again."Sorry for that" Elina mumbled as she looked at her feet, apologetically. Then she looked back up at Leanne. "You should know, that not all of us are lapdogs and killing machines. Especially me. If I was that way, do you think I would have sent my soldiers back to the vehicle or be this nice to you" Elina said as calmly as she could because she was recalling some of the recruits, that she had seen when she first was introduced into the military. Those recruits had murder in their eyes and they bullied everyone and they also were the first to be put in the war. Elina shuddered as she remembered how they would look at her like she was prey.Zane saw his sister shudder and he squeezed her hand. Then he looked at Leanne. "So are you going to be a rebel in this war?" Zane asked with a twinkle of mischief in his eyes. He imagined sneaking around the military compound, after hours and pretending to be a weak boy so that he isn't put into the war early. He smirked as his imagination ran wild in his head.Elina looked expectantly at Leanne as she waited for her to answer her brother's question. Elina could see Leanne being a trustworthy friend but Elina sighed as she remembered the last recruit she thought was going to be a friend. Elina ended saying good buy to her friend because her friend had left for the war and was only using Elina so she could get into the war early. 'I hope she is different' Elina thought with a small smile.[Sophie/Chris(she is a minor character so no need for me to make a form but she still is important)]Sophie hadn't spotted another good recruit until she came upon a thin, agile looking girl. "State your name" Sophie asked with a smirk. "Chris Owens" the girl answered as she straightened and looked at Sophie. "What's your power, Chris?" Sophie asked as she pulled Chris out of line and pulled her along. "I have super speed and I can turn invisible" Chris replied as she swished her jet black hair. When Chris spotted the other recruit, she smirked. "Nickolas" Chris muttered as she passed him and rolled her deep purple eyes. The boy recruit from earlier, stiffened after Chris passed him and he let out a grunt/growl. "I guess you have an air about you" Sophie exclaimed, liking Chris even more. "Yeah, I do" Chris replied as she climbed into the military truck and Sophie sat beside her. The other soldiers made it back to the vehicle with Nickolas and then they began to drive back to the compound.
okami • 11 May 2014 at 11:19 PM
@cutebirdy79Leanne tightened her fists and felt her muscles tense as the girl began to shift. She was prepared to fight her, if it came down to that. Leanne felt fairly confident that she could overcome this leader girl if she shifted into a tiger or some other strong animal. If it were a regular fight with no powers though, Leanne knew that she would lose in a heartbeat. She felt as useless and weak as a rock in her regular form.Before she could even think of shifting, however, the boy grabbed the leader and pushed her behind him. Leanne didn't catch anything that he had said, besides the name 'Elina'. 'That must be this leader girl's name then. Good to know that she seems quick to anger,' Leanne thought smugly to herself.Leanne just stared quizzically at Elina as she spoke, trying to figure out if this whole 'nice act' was a simple disguise, or the real thing. Leanne had never been one to trust anyone, but nice people always had a way of working their way under her skin. She then turned her attention over to the boy and sighed indifferently. "I'd be more careful about what I say if I were you, since we are under constant surveillance," Leanne whispered sharply before continuing. "I don't see how anyone can be a rebel with the government constantly over our heads. I'd gladly be one, but it seems impossible, wouldn't you think so? They have us all on a tight leash, and as soon as this war is over, I have no doubt that they'll just dispose of us," Leanne muttered softly before standing up and giving a defeated sigh. She then turned directly towards Elina and took a step forward. "If it were my choice, I wouldn't be coming with you to work for those people. I have no choice in the matter though, now do I? The only reason I'm doing this is because you decided to choose the person who wanted nothing to do with the government, and there's no alternative," Leanne said in a hushed voice, still feeling angry at this girl for choosing her. She then walked past Elina, but turned around after a few steps and leaned towards her. "I can guarantee that I despise those government people more than you ever will. I don't know if you're trying to trick me with some nice act or what, but I'm not going to do anything for them, so don't get your hopes up. After all, I'm no natural born killer. I'm just hoping that your nice act isn't an act at all," Leanne said with an indifferent smirk before turning and sulking over to the soldier's truck.
cutebirdy79 • 11 May 2014 at 11:57 PM
@bluewolf[Elina]Elina frowned at how Leanne was acting but she was pretty happy, that Leanne decided to come along with them. Elina looked over at her brother and gave him a quick smile. Then she pulled away from him and brushed past Leanne. "My nice act is the true me but this tough soldier act is really just an act" Elina whispered to Leanne as she passed her. Elina placed her sunglasses back over her eyes and put her hood back on. When she arrived back st the truck, she hopped in the back and let out a quiet sigh. "Start the truck and you recruits hurry your behinds up and get in already" Elina growled out as she leaned back against the truck. She hated putting on this mean act but she knew she had to do it to protect herself. Elina heard the truck's engine roar to life and she hoped they wouldn't leave without her brother and Leanne.[Zane]Zane followed along after his sister and widened his eyes when she growled out at him and Leanne. He ran up to the truck and jumped in, keeping his distance from his sister. He sighed when he heard the truck start up. He couldn't believe that he was actually going to be a soldier. Zane looked at the other soldiers atound him and say most of their faces showed no emotion and he hoped that wouldn't be him after awhile. [Sophie]Sophie and the others arrived back at the compound and she hopped out if the vehicle with Chris behind her. "So what happens next?" Chris asked. Sophie smirked at Chris's questioned and then looked up at her. "We go to the Meeting Hall." Sophie replied as the rest of the soldiers and Nickolas filed out if the truck and followed behind Chris and Sophie. Sophie dragged Chris along to the Meeting Hall and when they arrived, she forced Chris to sit beside her. "We will annouce mentors after Sectors 7 and 2's groups get back" one of the officials exclaimed into a microphone. Sophie smiled as she let the officials voice meet her ears. The officials were her family, while the soldiers were her friends.

@cutebirdy79"Good to know," Leanne grumbled quietly to herself as Elina brushed past her. She then sighed as Elina yelled at the boy and her. She could only imagine how miserable this new life would be. Not that she was exactly happy before either, but all of this would be far from an improvement. Both supernatural and human soldiers would probably pick on her a lot, considering how small and useless she was in her regular human form. The ones at T.P.S. had done the same for the first few years Leanne was there, but eventually they seemed to forget about her, since she never fought back or anything.Leanne hopped lightly into the truck after the boy and sat down beside him. She figured it was probably best to stick with him for now, being the only two new recruits in the truck. Leanne glanced over at him and gave a small, forced smile in an attempt to be friendly. It felt weird to smile, and Leanne couldn't remember the last time she ever had done so. Since her first years being in T.P.S., she had always turned her facial features into an indifferent mask. That way nobody could read what she was thinking or feeling, and now this 'mask' had become her natural face. It would be impossible to break that indifferent mask, since it came so naturally to her now. Leanne also knew that her social skills were extremely poor, since she rarely ever interacted with other people. Plus, she had never really had any friends, so all of this seemed so alien-like to her. "My name's Leanne," she said while sticking her hand out to shake. Honestly, she felt like a fool who wasn't introducing herself in an acceptable way. She just hoped that she wasn't being as awkward as she felt.
cutebirdy79 • 12 May 2014 at 10:36 PM
@bluewolf[Elina]Elina had tuned out of the people in the truck's conversation and was listening to the animals as they entered the forest. She didn't want to listen to the soldiers because they were probably talking trash about her brother and Leanne. To make sure she was right, Elina turned her ears attention back to the soldiers conversation and the words she heard filled her with hateful rage. "If you soldiers don't shut up about those recruits, I will make you shut up" Elina growled out loud enough so that only the soldiers could hear, her voice barely sounding human. Elina smirked after she hears all the soldiers conversations end. After she calmed down, Elina felt the familiar rocky road that lead to the compound and she let out a sigh.[Zane]Zane gave Leanne a warm smile, even though he could she through her smile. His friendly manner was an act to protect himself but with Leanne it almost seemed real. He took her hand in his and gave it a firm squeeze. "I already knew your name because I kind of overheard you when you told my sister" Zane exclaimed, becoming a little bashful because he knew eavesdropping was rude. He looked back up at Leanne when the heat vanished from his cheeks. "Well, I'm Zane and my sister's name is Elina" Zane added as he felt the truck change terrain and begin to drive over rocks. By his sister's face he knew they were at the military compound.[Elina]The truck came to a halt in front of the compound and all the soldiers filed out but Elina held Leanne and her brother back. "I needed to take a breather from those pigs" Elina muttered as she rubbed her temples. "Well guys this is the compound and your first place to visit while your here is the Meeting Hall, where we have meetings and where the officials give out speeches" Elina explained nearly growling out the world officials. Elina rubbed at her temples again as she felt an actually headache coming on, it always happened when she got overwhelmed.[Zane]Zane saw his sister struggling with a headache and he stepped forward, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "It'll be okay, Elina. You chose two good and tough recruits. Those officials got nothing on us" Zane reassured his sister. He heard her laugh and guessed his attempt at cheering her up worked. "Well lead the way to the Meeting Hall, leader" Zane exclaimed as he saluted his sister. He heard her give out a snort before she began to lead the way to the Meeting Hall. When he entered the room with Leanne and his sister, he was overwhelmed to see all the soldiers and the new recruits all sitting together. Zane grabbed Leanne hand and pulled her along after his sister. His sister lead them to seats in the pack away from most of the noise and attention and Zane let out a sigh. "Now we just need to wait for Sector 2's group" an official announced in a booming voice. It made Zane shudder. 'I hope I can survive this meeting' Zane thought as he surveyed the soldiers and recruits nearest them and saw their murderous eyes and cruel smiles. Zane didn't now he was still holding Leanne' s hand but he gave her hand a squeeze.[Sophie]Sophie let out a huff of boredom as she waited with everyone else for Sector 2's group to show up. She started to grow anxious and anger. "Come down, butterfly. They'll show" Chris reassured Sophie with a smile. Sophie blushed at Chris's nickname for her but she liked it. Sophie then claimed some patience again and waited again, this time with more patience.
okami • 12 May 2014 at 11:14 PM
@cutebirdy79Leanne raised her eyebrows at Zane, surprised that he had been able to hear that previous conversation. She shrugged her shoulders though, assuming he had some kind of super hearing. "I see. Well, it's nice to meet you, Zane. I figured that Elina was your sister's name, since you said it earlier," Leanne said with an unsure smirk. She then felt her muscles tense as the terrain shifted, before relaxing again after a few seconds. Being in a truck like this made her feel uncomfortable, since the last time she had been in any vehicle was when she was brought to T.P.S. After that, Leanne made sure to avoid any vehicles, for she was paranoid about being trapped in one. Besides, it had always been easier for her to simply shift into a bird whenever she needed to get somewhere.Once the truck came to a stop, Leanne stood up and waited for some sort of order to follow. She then noticed Elina rubbing her temples and frowned lightly. Probably getting a headache from stress, if Leanne had to make a guess. She knew what those felt like, since she often got migraines after shifting for an extended period of time. Then, when Zane went up to his sister to comfort her by saying that she had chosen two good recruits, it took everything for Leanne to keep a straight face and not laugh. Leanne had no doubt that Zane would be an excellent recruit, but as for herself, she felt useless. She had probably been one of the worst choices to pick from, but this wasn't the time to comment on that. Without a word, Leanne followed the two siblings into the Meeting Hall, and was stunned at how many supernaturals were in one room. She then felt disgusted by the thought that most of these people were probably mindless servants to the officials. With the amount of people here, it was completely possible to overthrow the current power, but Leanne knew the odds of that happening were next to none. She sighed, annoyed by the thought before Zane startled her by grabbing her hand and pulling her after him. Elina led them to some chairs in the back of the room, which Leanne was grateful for. At least she wouldn't be completely out in the open from the back of the room.Leanne then looked down at her hand once Zane squeezed it, and realized that he was still holding it. Normally, she wouldn't let anyone touch her, but she decided to let this one time slide by since she could tell Zane was somewhat nervous. However, it still made Leanne feel uncomfortable in a way. To distract herself, she glanced around the room, studying random faces that caught her attention. Some people seemed repulsed or downright bored with this entire event. It seemed like most people, however, were enjoying seeing the new recruits. Most likely imagining what it would be like to push them around. It was then that Leanne realized that she was barely nervous at the moment. After a few seconds of wondering why, she decided it was because she had already accepted her fate. She felt like she would be abused by superior soldiers and government officials, and knew that she was likely to die in a matter of months, if not weeks. All in all, she simply felt hopeless. Once the meeting started though, Leanne knew that she would begin to get nervous from anticipation. "So, exactly what happens once the last group comes back," Leanne asked while curiously raising an eyebrow as she looked over at Elina.
cutebirdy79 • 13 May 2014 at 8:27 PM
@bluewolfElina looked over at Leanne, when she heard her say something. "Well if the last group comes back, then the officials will ask for the names of the recruits and then place those recruits with mentors and give the recruits their room numbers but before that happens, the officials go through the list of the recruits and pick out the ones that are worthy and if they think they are not......well I would just hope that the officials accept you" Elina tried her best to explain without growling or frowning. Elina looked back up at the officials and saw them looking restless and frustrated. Elina knew why, it was because that Sector 2's citizens were more violent than the rest and the soldiers were going to stay there for awhile so they can 'calm' the citizens. Thinking about that left a bitter taste in Elina' s mouth and she closed her eyes as she felt another headache wash over her. She placed her hands over her ears to block out the sounds because migraines would heighten her senses and make her migraine worse. Elina knew this migraine was from refusing herself to shift so much and it caused her a lot of pain. Usually Elina could face the pain but this was worse, she stood up and walked out of the Meeting Hall and then ran down the halls until she was outside. Once outside, Elina didn't resist when she felt her muscles shuddering with the shift. She howled after the shift was over and she ran around the compound, coming to a halt when she heart angry voices. Elina peeked around a corner and her ears twitched when she heard a scream. It sounded like a girl but Elina wasn't completely sure so she peeked around the corner again and saw a girl that she recognized as one of the recruits from Sector 4. Elina stalked forward, in attacking position and let out a low growl. The soldiers that were bullying the girl all jumped and then turned around. Elina bared her teeth at the soldiers but kept her eyes on the girl.'Chris, that was her name. I remember from the list. Why hadn't she used her powers?' Elina thought as she looked at Chris and studied her. Then Elina saw multiple cuts on Chris's arms and remembered that Chris couldn't use her powers when she was bleeding but how had these soldiers known that about Chris. Elina turned her attention back to the soldiers and snapped and growled at them in warning. The soldiers were a bit squeamish so they ran off. As Elina watched them run off, she shifted back to a human and ran up to Chris. "What happened?" Elina asked. Before Chris could answer she bursted into tears and Elina knew she wouldn't answer. Elina took off her cloak and wrapped it around Chris and they made their way back to the compound.[Zane]Zane watched his sister struggle with a migraine and then run off but he stayed with Leanne because he knew his sister was alright. He waited for the officials to start but he really kind of didn't want them too because he didn't want a human mentor or to share a room with a human. He was terrified of the humans, well at least the human soldiers. Zane shuddered and then realized his hand was still wrapped around Leanne' s. He blushed as he pulled his hand away from hers and just sat their waiting for his sister and for the Meeting to start.[Sophie]Sophie had started talking to Chris, after she had gotten restless and bored about the meeting. When Chris said she had to go to the bathroom, Sophie had no problem with it but she smiled evilly and sent some of the soldiers that were in her group after her.[Chris]Chris was just about to enter the bathroom when she heard footsteps behind her and turned to see soldiers running after her. They chased her out of the compound and then they cornered her. They all pulled out knives and took turns cutting her arms. She screamed and cried for them to stop but they seem to want to cut her more when they heard her screams and cries. Chris almost lost hope when she saw an auburn wolf come around a corner and spook the soldiers bullying her. All Chris's instincts told her to run but she knew the wolf was better than the soldiers in front of her and that made her stay where she was. As she stared at the auburn wolf, she realized the way she was acting was not how she promised her parents she would act. Chris was a bully at T.P.S and that usually meant she got her way but her she was the bullied and she felt helpless and she felt sorry for all those Supernaturals she had bullied at T.P.S. When Chris looked back at the wolf, the wolf wasn't there but a red headed girl was and she was running towards Chris. Chris would have answered the girl's question but she burst into tears. 'Please don't let me act this way in front of any soldiers again' Chris thought to herself because she can't want to be thought of as weak. She followed girl back to the compound.

@cutebirdy79Leanne stared in shock as Elina talked about how the officials would go through a process of choosing who was worthy. Before she could question her any further, Elina walked out of the Meeting Hall and out through some doors. 'She probably still has a bad headache,' Leanne thought to herself, and looked down as she saw Zane pulling his hand away. She smiled lightly due to how embarrassed he seemed to feel. That kind of behavior was always cute, at least in her opinion. Leanne then crossed her arms over her chest, out of habit, and looked over at Zane. "Are you nervous," she asked, even thought she already knew the answer to that question. It was obvious to her that he was currently terrified by the entire situation. "I'm just worried about the whole 'being worthy' part of all this. I never expected to be in this position, so I didn't exactly perform well back at T.P.S. I really doubt I'm worthy at all, since my power isn't useful for much," Leanne quietly sighed with a frown on her face before continuing. "I'm sure you'll be fine though, unlike me."
cutebirdy79 • 13 May 2014 at 10:06 PM
@bluewolf~Elina/Chris~Elina led Chris away from the Meeting Hall and into a restroom. Elina checked all the stalls for people and found no one. "Let's clean you up" Elina exclaimed as she wet a paper towel and wiped all around Chris's face. Then she let Chris wear her aviator sunglasses.After Chris put on the sunglasses she looked at herself in the mirror and gave a small smile. As she stared at herself, she realized that she didn't want to go back to Sophie she wanted to go back with this girl. Chris turned to face her and gave her a thank you smile. "I never caught your name" Chris exclaimed to the girl.Elina tensed at the question because she didn't know if she could trust Chris. Elina decided to take a risk and told Chris her name. "Its Elina" Elina replied with a warm smile.Chris felt safe with this Elina girl but she couldn't tell anyone that so she hid it deep down in her thoughts. Chris turned back to the mirror and decided to put her hair up so she grabbed a hair tie and pulled her hair back into a ponytail. "Can a sit with you when we get back?" Chris asked as she looked at Elina through the mirror."Sure" Elina replied as she pulled the cloak's hood over Chris's head. Elina waved at Chris to tell her to follow her and Chris followed close behind. When they entered the Meeting Hall, Elina scanned to see what Sophie was doing and saw she was just laughing with other soldiers, probably forgetting about Chris. Chris continued to follow Elina until she came to a halt a few feet away from Zane and Leanne. 'Clyde' Elina growled into her head as she saw him walking towards Leanne and Zane. Elina knew of him and she didn't like the kind of people he usually hanged out with. Elina practically ran to her table and pulled Chris into the seat beside her. "Hello Clyde" Elina said loud enough for Clyde to hear and she tried her best to not sound disgusted of him but she knew the disgust showed on her face so she looked over at her brother.
okami • 13 May 2014 at 10:38 PM
@cutebirdy79Leanne shrugged her shoulders and sighed. "Maybe a person's power doesn't matter to you, but it does to those officials up there. That's all they care about, I doubt they take much else into consideration. You aren't even aware of what my power is, I think you're sister does though," Leanne teasingly stated before continuing, "Plus, you don't know if I have a good heart or not, we just met after all," Leanne said with an uncomfortable chuckle and stared down at her hands. She then noticed that Elina had just sat back down, and seemed to have brought along another person with her. Leanne instantly felt defensive, since she felt a bad vibe about this new figure. She generally trusted her first gut reactions about people, her intuition normally didn't lie to her. Then, out of the corner of her eye, Leanne noticed a tall boy with brown hair, that appeared to be around her age. She gave Elina a puzzled look, since she couldn't tell why she seemed so disgusted by him.-----Clyde approached the table and came to a stop beside Leanne, and leaned his arms on the back of an empty chair. "Hello Elina. You're looking as lovely as ever, even if you seem utterly disgusted by my presence," he said jokingly with a smile before frowning lightly. "I do wish that you'd give me a chance and not be so quick to judge me though. I'm guessing it's because I hang out with those beasts over there," Clyde gestured towards the area filled with human soldiers sitting at various tables. "I'd think it'd be obvious that I'm doing it for protection though, and I'm sure you'd take the opportunity as well if it was presented to you. Besides, if people ever have the guts to rise up against those humans, I could act as a double agent. Maybe use some of my cool secret spy gadgets," Clyde continued while rummaging through one of his pockets. He then smiled and pulled out a small bag of beef jerky while watching Elina out of the corner of his eyes. He was trying to prove a point to her, but he was also trying to get under her skin for the fun of it. "See, now look at this cool thing I got for being a double agent," Clyde smirked before taking out a piece and biting into it. "Anyways though, I came over here because the humans were going to send someone over to torment the newbies. So, I just saved them from all of that. You're welcome," Clyde said while looking over at a human soldier who was currently bullying a supernatural. He then turned his attention to the new recruits and smiled, trying to make them feel comfortable with him. "Allow me to introduce myself properly. The name's Clyde. Clyde Jones to be exact. What might I have the honor of calling you all," he asked, rather amused. He then proceeded to reach into his bag of beef jerky again, and took out another piece before holding the bag out. "Anyone want some?"
cutebirdy79 • 14 May 2014 at 8:02 AM
@bluewolfElina growled out at Clyde. "I would rather die then hang out with those monsters. Especially since I see you let them bully the Supernatural and just walk away. You think that coming over here will make up for that well to me it doesn't. Plus this girl right here, was just getting bullied by your 'friends' but I saved her." Elina stated as she stood up and leaned over closer to Clyde and glared at him. "Its okay, Chris. Let them see you. Sophie is distracted so she won't notice you" Elina whispered to Chris after she had sat back down and calmed herself.Chris slid of the hood to the cloak and then hesitated to pull off the actually cloak, since it covered her cuts. When she did pull off the cloak, the cuts on her were still bleeding a bit and when Chris saw them she felt tears prick into her eyes. Chris quickly put the cloak back on and handed Elina her sunglasses so Chris could wipe the tears from her purple eyes.Elina accepted her sunglasses from Chris and placed them on her head. Then she narrowed her eyes at Clyde. "Those monsters knew she couldn't use her powers if she was bleeding and they shouldn't have known about that. It's either someone told them or the officials are planning something" Elina exclaimed, whispering the last part as she straightened back into her seat and stared at Clyde. Sure she kept telling herself he didn't get under her skin but he always found a way.
okami • 14 May 2014 at 5:37 PM
@cutebirdy79Clyde frowned at Elina. "I can't exactly protect every single supernatural that is getting bullied, you know just as well as I do that it would lead to my death," he hissed in a hushed voice to Elina and then turned to Chris. "I'm sorry for what happened to you, but I can't control what those humans do. I'd just stay under the radar if I were you, since they know what your weakness is now, you're easy prey," Clyde said before staring directly back at Elina. "We both know that the officials are in fact planning something. Which is why it's important that I stay on good terms with the humans. Maybe I'll be able to find out some useful information then, did you ever think of that," Clyde said sternly and proceeded to completely turn away from Elina, wanting to see if she'd get annoyed at all.Clyde studied Leanne and Zane, trying to read what they were feeling. He then noticed Zane eyeing the beef jerky and tossed the bag over to him. "It's all yours, I get a ton of the stuff anyways. Like I was saying though, what may I have the pleasure of calling you two," he asked while flashing one of his ever so charming smiles. He proceeded to sit down across from Leanne when he noticed that the meeting was starting, but continued to stare at the two, expecting an answer.------Leanne stared at Chris as she took off her cloak and revealed the cuts on her arm. She felt bad for the girl, but she still couldn't shake the bad vibe she felt about her. It was probably in her best interest to stay away from her if they both somehow made it through this meeting. Leanne then looked over at Zane and shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know what to think about it all, probably best not to think about it at all," she said quietly before she noticed that the meeting had started. That's when she finally began to feel nervous. Instinctively, she pulled her hand away from Zane and crossed her arms over her chest as a sense of security, before looking at Clyde and sighing."Leanne," Leanne mumbled quietly to Clyde as she watched the officials talking. She could clearly see why he got along with the human soldiers, he was so charismatic it would be virtually impossible to dislike him. Well, Elina seemed to be the exception to that. Leanne couldn't tell why she loathed him so much. Sure, he hung out with humans, but Leanne knew she'd do the same thing in order to protect herself. Plus, if there was any hope of possibly rebelling anytime soon, she knew Clyde would be an excellent asset.
cutebirdy79 • 14 May 2014 at 8:51 PM
@bluewolfElina growled when Clyde turned away from her. He really got on her nerves sometimes. That's when she realized that that was the real reason she disgusted him, it was because he knew how to get under her skin and really annoy her. "Clyde, I'm sorry" Elina mumbled softly so that only Clyde could hear her, she was apologizing for every disgusted face she had given him and for every rude word that she had said to him. She stood when she was told to stand to state her recruits' names. When it was her turn, Elina glanced at Leanne and Zane and then she looked back at the official. "Leanne Adams and Zane Hunter" Elina shouted out in a monotone voice. The official nodded and Elina sat down, slouching in her chair. She hated looking or even saying something to an official, since she knew they hated the Supernatural. "Clyde you have made some good points and I would hope you would share any plans or secrets you hear from your human 'friends' with us." Elina exclaimed as she glanced over at him.
okami • 14 May 2014 at 10:58 PM
@cutebirdy79Clyde smirked to himself when he heard Elina growl behind his back. Then, to his surprise, he heard her apologize to him. For a few moments he sat still, trying to figure out why she had the sudden change of heart. Instead of directly replying though, Clyde gave a curt nod in acknowledgement, since he doubted that she wanted anyone else to hear their exchange. After Elina sat down, Clyde looked over at her and pretended to be offended. "Why, of course I'd share their little secrets. My loyalty is to my own kind," he said with a playful wink before looking back over at Zane.Clyde laughed at Zane's comment. "Yeah, I kind of figured you two had some sort of relationship. Well, it's a pleasure to meet both of you," Clyde smiled before raising his eyebrows curiously. "So, what are your amazing powers?"------Leanne watched nervously as the officials were looking over the lists of different people. She knew that she was far from the top of the list, but hopefully she wouldn't be at the bottom either. All she wanted was to make the cut and go from there. Leanne then glanced over at Clyde and gave a playful smirk. "Why don't you try guessing mine," she taunted. Clyde sighed dramatically. "I'm terrible at guessing though," he laughed with a pretend look of despair. He then pretended to ponder over the thought for a moment. "Flying," he guessed with his fingers crossed. Leanne laughed and rolled her eyes. "Wrong." "Super speed?" "Nope." "Super strength." "That would be a big no." "How about... the ability to draw a perfect circle on the first try," Clyde said with a huge grin. Leanne laughed, "Yes, that is totally my power, it's so useful." "I knew that had to be it," Clyde grinned before asking, "Seriously though, what is it?" Leanne chuckled and glanced over at Zane. "I'll give you the honors of going first," she said.
cutebirdy79 • 15 May 2014 at 8:17 AM
@bluewolfElina's cheeks slightly turned red, after Clyde had winked at her. She smiled when she heard his true loyalties were to the Supernatural. 'I guess these people at this table right now are the rebels, that will cause destruction and bring truth to the eyes of the people' Elina thought as she looked at everyone's faces. Elina didn't notice that Chris left until she saw her empty seat. She picked up her cloak from the seat and put it on without the hood on. Elina looked over at Chris's group and saw that Sophie was back and that most of the people in her group had blank faces. That's when Elina knew that most of the recruits they had found today were to get booted out. Before Elina could say anything to the rest of the people at her table, an official already a microphone in hand and was beginning to speak. "Most of the Supernatural recruits were good but we are only choosing for and those four are Chris Owens, Leanne Adams, Zane Hunter and Nickolas Hunt" the official said before exporting the room with the rest of his colleagues. The whole Meeting Hall turned into chaos, first the recruits that weren't chosen tried to leave but many of the human soldiers grabbed them and began to beat them. Elina was wide eyed and terrified as she stood up and grabbed all.the people at her table and bolted for the door. She pulled everyone along until she got to the dorm rooms. She let go of everyone and collapsed to the ground with a really bad migraine. The pain was so bad that she passed out.
okami • 15 May 2014 at 8:50 AM
@cutebirdy79Leanne sat in shock when she heard her name being called. How in the world had she ever been picked over so many people? It seemed like all of them appeared stronger than her by far. The one and only reason she could think of for being chosen was because the officials wanted a diverse set of powers at their disposal. They probably hadn't had enough shapeshifters, and that was why she had been chosen. She then looked over at Zane once it occurred to her that they had both been chosen. 'What were the odds of that happening, with so many potential recruits," she thought to herself as she saw the meeting erupt into pure chaos. Leanne had expected as much though, since she would of been trying to bolt too if her name hadn't been called. She willingly allowed Elina to drag her alone out of the Meeting Hall and through a series of hallways, glad to be away from the mayhem. Once Elina collapsed, however, Leanne sighed and slumped against a wall. 'She seems to always be losing it or collapsing when things get bad. Shocking that she's made it this far in the system," Leanne observed as she watched the events unfold.---------Clyde sighed and followed along with everyone once order had been lost in the Meeting Hall. It was always like this on recruitment day, which was no surprise. He had never understood why the officials didn't accept everyone, since it wasn't uncommon to lose a large amount of people in the war. It would make more sense to just accept everyone and send a large amount of them out to the warzone, but he seemed to always be alone in that thought. He watched as Elina collapsed and gave another exasperated sigh. 'How can she possibly be one of the more elite soldiers if she's always doing stuff like this," Clyde thought to himself in an annoyed tone. He saw that Zane was worried, however, and put on a small face of concern. "This way," he said quietly before proceeding down the hall and stopping in front of the door to Elina's room. "Here it is. It's open already, since few doors in this compound have actual locks on them. I'm going to head back to the Meeting Hall, since I have to help dispose of any bodies," Clyde said while hesitating before the word 'bodies'. It was always an awful task, but some people had to do it. Clyde then looked over at Leanne and gave a small smile. "Why don't you come along with me to help, allow these two to have some space," he gently suggested. "I promise nothing bad will happen to you as long as you stick with me."Leanne shuffled her feet, feeling unsure about what to do. It's not that she didn't believe Clyde, but the thought of seeing dead and mangled bodies made her feel sick. She knew it was probably best though, since she would have to get used to seeing things like that if she were to stay. "Alright, lets go," Leanne sighed and began walking down the hall with Clyde. She turned her head and gave a small wave to Zane as they continued to walk towards the Meeting Hall.

Exhausted, Aykay slumped down onto her sleeping mat, tossing her messenger bag onto the bed right next to it. Werewolves (or at the very least her pack) preferred sleeping on the floor, but the bed came with the house, so she used it as a table, mostly for laundry when she was too lazy to put it away, which was always, much to her father's annoyance.She had finished her deliveries for the day, which were delayed slightly by the recruiting taking too long that day. Apparently aside from fur colour, werewolves all look the same to humans, which made choosing two almost a matter of closing your eyes and pointing... And today they had chosen poorly. Sure the two males they had chosen today might have looked impressive, but Derek was a bit of a slow-wit and Garret was blind in one eye... Humans wouldn't know a dominant werewolf if it danced in front of them wearing a pink unitard while throwing rocks at them."Autumn, come down here." her father called from downstairs.Aykay groaned, reluctantly getting up. She knew what the lecture was going to be already... She hadn't been recruited again, big surprise... She got this talk every time they were recruiting... How she needed to try harder to be noticed... To stop showing up to recruitment day in her human form... To stand taller, shoulders back, try to make herself look bigger... To growl at the other werewolves a little... It was always the same thing...She walked down the stairs, transforming into her werewolf form on the way. Maybe that would please her father and he wouldn't be as hard on her...When she got to the kitchen (which also came with the house and was equally unused, as they never cooked their dinner) she saw her father and brother were already there, both in werewolf form. Was it just her imagination, or was her brother slightly larger than her father now?... This worried her, since she had been hoping Ethan would stay thin so that the human soldiers would continue to overlook him, but if her kept this growth up, he'd be recruited by the end of the week..."Autumn... Ethan... I have been more than patient with you two when it comes to being recruited..." he said gently, but sternly.Being recruited had become their pack's new way of competing for social status now that dominance fights were prohibited. The fact that neither Aykay nor Ethan had been recruited was considered an embarrassment and their father had been heavily affected by it. He had once had prominent standing within the pack, but lately that had been slipping. Aykay really did feel bad about it, but as much as she tried, she was just not as good as the others in training... She had no talent for it..."I cannot wait forever. So I've talked to one of the captains and he has agreed to allow you two to bypass the usual formalities and he will accept you into the military." he continued. "You are being picked up soon."Aykay knew exactly what this meant... Her father had bribed their way in... She hadn't realized just how desperate he was, but this..."Autumn isn't ready for this, father." Ethan said, putting his hand on Aykay's shoulder. She was thankful for this kind gesture, but she knew it was in vain..."Autumn is a full-grown she-wolf, Ethan." answered her father. "Unless she begins to assert herself, she will never find a partner. He-wolves do not go for the timid, withdrawn females..."Aykay rolled her eyes. So that was what this was about... She didn't know how this plan was supposed to help though... How was bribing their way into the military supposed to make her seem tougher? If anything, it would make her look weaker, seeing as she wouldn't be able to keep up with anyone else, but she didn't tell her father that...
okami • 19 May 2014 at 8:53 PM
@cutebirdy79 @dada_dragonClyde walked briskly down the winding hallways on his way to the Meeting Hall. For he wanted to get the unpleasant task of cleaning up the outcome of all the fighting over with. Leanne struggled to keep up with Clyde's fast pace as they continued to make their way through the halls. Today had already been long and eventful, and she had a feeling that it was far from over. Wonderful. Leanne began to fall slightly behind as Clyde turned another corner. Or 'almost turned' would be more accurate. Since he had almost crashed into a tall and strong looking soldier with short blonde hair. Leanne felt frightened being in this man's presence, but Clyde seemed unaffected for the most part. "Sorry, John. I took that corner a little to fast," Clyde laughed. He had never really talked to this guy before, but he knew of him, and if he had any talent, it was for remembering names. Clyde then raised his eyebrows in surprise when John mentioned something about special arrangements. Those were extremely rare occurrences and Clyde had only ever heard of a couple ever happening. "Special arrangements? Sounds interesting. I'm not sure if you'll be able to carry out these 'arrangements' anytime soon though. Elina's in her quarters, but considering the fact that she just collapsed due to who knows what, I don't know how quickly she'll be back on her feet," Clyde stated with a shrug before shuffling around John. "Maybe she's better now though, I wouldn't know. Good luck with your arrangements though," he said with a smirk before commencing walking again.---------Leanne followed after Clyde, not wanting to get lost in all of these hallways. She knew she'd get lost with how big this place was. While she was thinking of that though, she ran into Clyde, whom had come to a stop right before the meeting hall doors."Now, I think this can go without being said, but it will probably be very gruesome in there. That's generally how it is almost every recruitment day. One of my main jobs is to get rid of the leftover bodies, but I'd understand if you don't want to help with that," Clyde said gently as he looked down at Leanne. She shook her head and sighed. "I need to get used to seeing that kind of stuff if I'm going to stick around for a while," she said quietly while fidgeting with her necklace. Clyde nodded his head, and without a word made his was through the doors of the Meeting Hall with Leanne behind him.---------Leanne felt herself almost faint at the sight of the Meeting Hall. The lifeless bodies of the recruits whom had not been chosen were lying in various places from tables to underneath chairs. Blood seemed to cover much of the floor, and some of the bodies were not completely intact. That was clear to Leanne when she nearly stepped on a dismembered arm. She glanced over at an official who seemed to be supervising the cleanup, and it took everything in her not to attack him right there and then. How could these people just allow all of this to happen without a second thought? She sighed and hid her disgust, since not doing so could lead her to being another body added to the list of casualties. Clyde felt the same disgust as always as he walked into the Meeting Hall. Most of these humans were terrible, treating so many young and innocent people like this. It was repulsive. He looked over at Leanne to make sure she was dealing with everything as well as anyone new could, and was somewhat glad to see that she seemed alright. "People are assigned different jobs when it comes to cleanup, but like I said before, mine's cleaning up the bodies. Which is just about as great as it sounds," Clyde said sarcastically before continuing. "It usually takes me a while, since I go with the method of burying them. The digging part doesn't take long since my power is manipulating earth, but carrying each body outside takes a lot of time," Clyde frowned as he looked over at Leanne. She probably wouldn't be able to carry much of anything, given how small she was compared to most people.Leanne noticed the look that Clyde was giving her and knew that he was thinking she was too weak to do anything. "I can probably help speed up the time it takes to do that," she said, motivated to prove herself now. Before Clyde could say anything, Leanne quickly shapeshifted into a brown horse with black hair. Clyde stood in shock for a few moments, not having expected that to happen. "So, shapeshifting is your power... nice," he said with a smile after he had recovered. With her head, Leanne motioned to her back until Clyde got the idea. She was able to communicate telepathically while in animal forms, but doing so still proved to be very difficult for her, and she didn't feel like struggling to communicate at the moment. Clyde began to stack bodies onto her back, and was able to fit four before the pair started to walk outside, with Clyde carrying a fifth corpse. Clyde led the way outside to the edge of a neighboring forest before setting the lifeless body down. Then, he stood firmly in place with his arms held in front of him, and slowly spread them apart. As he did so, a rectangular hole appeared in the ground that seemed to be twenty feet deep. Once it was done, Clyde tossed the bodies down into the makeshift grave and gave a huff. "This is the closest anyone around here can get to a proper burial. Let's go get some more," he sighed while patting Leanne, who continued to remain in horse form, on the back before heading back inside to repeat the process.
cutebirdy79 • 19 May 2014 at 10:35 PM
@bluewolf @dada_dragon which room(s) do you want your charries in? [Also Elina in the 5th paragraph is talking about you coming around the corner not some random commanding officer]Zane was about to enter into Elina's room, when she began to squirm in his arms. He looked down at her and saw her eyes open."What happened?" Elina asked as she jumped out of her brother's arms and looked up at him. She only remembered running out of the Meeting Hall after the massacre began. She shuddered as she remembered."You passed out" Zane answered as he stared into her eyes and let out a sigh. "Elina you need to stop overwhelming yourself" Zane muttered, knowing Elina could hear him.Elina rolled her eyes at her brother's comment about her. "Its part of the job" Elina claimed as she took a deep breath through her nose and smelt a higher up commanding officer coming down the hall. Elina pushed her brother into her room and waited for the officer to come around the bend.Zane listened through the door but heard noting so he sat on his sister's bed and stared at his hands. "I hope you're okay, sis" Zane whispered to himself as he glanced back up at the door.
dada_dragon • 20 May 2014 at 1:27 AM
John turned down the dormitory hallway to find Elina standing outside her room. He caught the scent of another werewolf nearby... He didn't think Elina had a roommate, but that was none of his business."Elina, I've been instructed to go down to sector three and I need someone to go with me to pick up two recruits. Evidently, they've already been accepted, so it's only a matter of going down there and bringing them back." he said. "Shouldn't be too difficult. There's no teary goodbyes for the werewolves in sector three, so we should be back in time for lunch, not that I'm terribly hungry after that display in the hall there..."His eyes wandered to the tattoo on her wrist. He didn't recall her having a tattoo, but he had never really spent much time with her either. The only reason he was asking her was that they were travelling to a werewolf community, she was a werewolf and was trusted by the soldiers enough that she could leave."Is that new?" he asked, pointing at the tattoo. "I hadn't noticed it before today."@cutebirdy79 @bluewolf
cutebirdy79 • 20 May 2014 at 10:01 PM
@dada_dragon @bluewolfElina relaxed a little when she saw it was just John coming around the bend and nodded as John said that he was going to pick up some late werewolf recruits. Elina was ave with him when he asked about he tattoo. Elina moved her cloak out of the way and looked down at her wolf paw tattoo. Elina remembered she had gotten it after she was taken from her brother because he had the same tattoo on his neck but it was blue. Elina glanced back at John and gave him a lopsided grin. "I've had this tattoo, John. I got after the first day I was here. It was inspired by a family member of mine" Elina explained to John as she glanced back at her dorm's door.Zane had gotten bored at just staring at the door so he went to the door and listened to the voices outside the door. He heard a male voice and then his sister's voice explaining something and knew it was about her tattoo. Zane touched his tattoo on his neck as she explained. 'That's why she got it so she would never forget me, how sweet of her' Zane thought as he smiled to himself. Then he felt the door disappear from behind him and he was staring at his sister and an older looking soldier. By his smell, Zane knew the soldier was werewolf and from eavesdropping on their conversation he knew that the werewolf's name was John. Zane gave an innocent smile and looked over at his sister. Zane slapped himself in his mind as he realized he had put all his weight on the door and the door couldn't hold him. "Hello" Zane mumbled nervously.Elina watched has the door opened before her eyes and out stepped her brother. Her eyes were wide and then they narrowed at her brother as she realized that he had been eavesdropping. She growled at him when he looked over at her and said 'hello' to John. "John. Meet my idiot brother, Zane." Elina exclaimed with a growl as she glanced from John to her brother.Zane smiled sheepishly as his sister growled at him. He knew sorry wouldn't cut it so he just averted his gaze from his sister and looked at John. Zane knew he was acting childish against his sister but ever since they were children she was more dominant even though he was older. He dared at glance at her and saw her glaring at him. "Elina, please stop that" Zane pleaded. He saw her smirk with triumph and he turned a light pink and looked away from her.Elina wanted to bust out laughing as she saw her brother squirm under her glaring eyes. It pained her to see him sad but it made her want to laugh more. After she swallowed her laugh, she looked back at John. "Sorry I was ignoring you. Well I guess we can leave now, if you want" Elina exclaimed as she starting acting like the soldier she was not the sister she wanted to be.Zane watched his sister go from sister soldier and his eyes saddened. 'I guess this is what the military does' Zane thought as he silently left the two behind and went to help with clean up in the Meeting Hall. He knew it would be gruesome so he manned up and went inside. He nearly vomited when he saw all the lifeless bodies but he ventured through the bodies and the scent of Clyde and Leanne until he found them. "Need any help?" Zane asked as he saw Leanne as a horse and Clyde piling bodies on her back. Zane shuddered as he wondered how you could get the smell of death off and live with the smell of it around you every day. He shook his head and let out a huff as he cleared death thoughts from his mind even though he was surrounded by it.

@cutebirdy79 @dada_dragonClyde looked up when he saw Zane approaching and gave a small wave of his hand. "Sure. Grab that one to your right, if you can handle it that is," Clyde said unsurely as he observed how uncomfortable Zane seemed to be. He looked like he was about to get sick or pass out from shock. That was understandable, since the current state of the Meeting Hall was beyond that of gruesome. The smell of blood and decay, the smell of pure death, filled every corner of the room. That scent would soon be covered up as the cleanup progressed though. Just like every other Recruitment Day. The sight of the room was drastically improving. This would be their last trip of transporting bodies, since he and Leanne had already made four in total. Clyde managed to stack three bodies onto Leanne's back before taking a fourth for himself and heading out the door to the outside. He glanced over at the supervising official to make sure that he'd allow the three of them to leave at one time. Clyde and the official made brief eye contact before said official gave a satisfied smile and nodded his head at Clyde. Clyde did his best to smile and gave a brief nod in return before continuing out the door. The officials had always seemed to favor him, and it was important to stay on their good side. It was probably the only reason that he hadn't yet been sent of to fight in the war. Why would they send off one of their favorite supernaturals when there was the average unnoticed one to dispose of instead?Clyde made his way over the grass and to his makeshift grave, and dumped his one body in before unloading Leanne's. It was a nice day today. Sunny with a nice breeze, and not too hot or too cold. It would be the perfect day, if it weren't for the fact that Clyde was a soldier and was currently throwing corpses into a pit. That kind of stuff always had a way of putting a damper on everything.Once all of the bodies were sitting at the bottom of the gaping hole, Clyde stood directly in front of it and spread his feet apart. He then held his arms out on either side and brought them together with a loud clap, closing the hole instantly. Clyde stepped back to look over his work and gave a satisfied smile. "There. Nobody would ever expect that there was a heap of bodies buried underneath their feet here," he observed before frowning. "I don't know how many bodies I've had to bury like this in total. I stopped counting after five hundred, and that was years and years ago. This has been one of my more major jobs since I was only twelve. I've had to bury a lot of friends in that time..." Clyde trailed off as he stared at the ground, trying not to dwell on the past for too long. It was all history, there was no point in reliving it all over and over again.Leanne felt bad for Clyde, she couldn't imagine having to lose so many people in such a gruesome way. That's why back at T.P.S she had avoided talking or connecting with people unless it was needed. People seemed to come and go every single day, and most people didn't seem to last for very long. The person who had been your friend yesterday could be dead the next, and there was nothing to do about it. It was sad that they lived in a world where having a connection with people could be considered a bad thing. Leanne squirmed as she felt some blood and human remains still on her back and trotted off from Clyde and Zane momentarily. It was probably best to give Clyde a moment of peace anyways. Once she was a decent distance away from the two, she shifted into a german shepherd and located a puddle of rainwater from a previous storm. Then, not caring much about how she currently looked, Leanne splashed around in the pool until the majority of the blood had been washed off. She would clean herself up properly later in the night, but since it was only midday, this would have to do. Leanne hopped out of the puddle and shook herself off the best she could, knowing that any remaining water would air-dry off shortly. It was hard to resist the impulse to roll around in the grass to try and dry herself further, which would be what any real german shepherd would do. Instincts were often times difficult to control in any form that Leanne took. Sometimes the animal instincts would override logical thinking, but that seemed to happen less and less as the years went by. Hopefully someday they wouldn't be a problem for her anymore.Leanne gave one last shake before walking back over to sit between Clyde and Zane. Her tongue lolled out of her mouth as she panted in exhaustion from carrying so many corpses out of the Meeting Hall. With how tired she was, it was hard to believe that the day was only half way over. Clyde seemed to be thinking the same thing as he gave a tired yawn before patting Leanne on the head. "Good work," he commented to her and Zane. "I wish today would be over already. I'm dead tired. Oh, I forgot to ask,what happened with your sister? Another soldier was looking for her before. He said something about 'special arrangements'," Clyde looked at Zane, curious to see if he knew any details.

John watched as Zane walked away. He was an interesting guy and at least part werewolf, but there was something off about his scent."I'm not sure who we're picking up yet." he said, returning his gaze to Elina. "But I should be getting orders from the command centre any...""Orders incoming." Came a voice, and by the way Elina didn't react, it was telepathic."Erikson, what did I tell you about reading my mind to sound more dramatic?" he said, tapping his head so that Elina would understand. "Give me the orders and would you please let Elina into the conversation? I don't like to repeat things.""Yes sir. It'll just take a second."Jake Erikson was a goof, but he was one of the most gifted telepaths in the command centre. It was much easier to use telepaths. They could relay a message to anyone on the base and it was near impossible to listen in on a telepathic communication."Now connected to the both of you. Hello, Miss Hunter and Captain Minor Evrett."Captain "minor" was just the humans' way of reminding him who was really in charge. "Minor" put him a rank below any human captains. Any orders given by him had to be approved by a human captain..."Your orders are to collect two werewolf 'special circumstance' recruits. This of course means that someone with a lot of money wants them in, so we are turning a blind eye to procedure and you heard none of this from me." Jake said. "The recruits are Ethan and Autumn Kapelle. Try to be a little sensitive. They just found out about all this. The address is...""I know the address." Interrupted John. "Thank you, Erikson.""No problem, sir. By the way, I just got your mental image of the Kapelle girl. She is good looking for a werewolf, if I do say so my-""Erikson..." John growled dangerously, though there was a slight redness to his cheeks."Okay okay. Good luck, I'm out."@bluewolf @cutebirdy79
