"If you morons would let me finish..." Artemis said, a little irritated. "The bomb contains a gas that is harmless to a human, but messes with the DNA of anything other than a human. So any Sup would be vulnerable..." She felt so mad at them. She was smart, but no one would like her speak. "I think we should follow them..." She said, somewhat quite so if they heard it, which they might now, it wouldnt' be a horrible laugh...
"What if they try to follow us? There must be someway to throw them off our trail..." Sarah spoke as she stood, all of her features human. "If we go through the tunnels, they might try to follow us..." She put the thought behind her and jumped down into the tunnel and followed the group.

Darklight didn't look at either of the girls. "What exactly will it do to them? We can't kill them or we'll never find the other base. Since little no-help-at-all won't tell us where it is."
(that's all i'm posting right now...too tired to think and i'm getting off soon)

"I told you I don't know where their other base is. The most logical choice is to follow them, but that's not going to happen without them knowing." Yuuki sighed and thought for a moment. "I know, I could go in there and act innocent and like you two have been pushing me along and using me as a future bait or something. Or I could pretend to be a double-crosser. Either way, I'll act like I'm on their side and give them reason to trust me. Then you'll know just where they are." Yuuki grinned. She had been planning this for a while, but not for the reasons that she was letting on. She really wanted to know what the Sups were doing so she could manipulate it for her own benefit.

"But if we go with your plan, then they'll know its a trap. Hunters don't team up with Sups." Artemis said, glaring at her. She hated any kind of sup, and she was quite certain that even talking to this one before killing her wasn't any good. Artemis closed her eyes and thought for the longest time. Suddenly a thought jumped into her head. "They want to protect all of the sups, all can't be protected. But, if they find a sup in trouble, that we didn't delibrately keep alive, they'll try and rescue them. So all we have to do is find a child sup and attack them. Mr. Bigshot himself will come out and we'll capture him."

"Or we go with my plan and we you just beat me up a little. I know that will make you pretty happy. With another kid, they'll just do the same thing with the other one. Kill them. If you send them me and they suspect anything then at least I can take out at least a couple of Sups, if not all of them. I will be able to convince them of my story and the longer we sit here debating, the longer they have to escape." Yuuki smirked. Putting a time frame on the two hunters would put stress on them and then they'd have to go with her plan for lack of being able to think of anything better.

Meanwhile this whole thing was going on, a girl at about the age of 9 at in an office in a large chair, waiting. Soon a large woman who looked like she could use a make-over and had spent the last ten years in a prison. She had dirty gray hair, a large mole on her face and under her nose was a small moustache to match her hair. She sat down behind the desk and looked out the window. As she spoke, her voice was low and harsh. "This is the fifth time this week that you've tried to run away." She was now facing the young child and her voice was picking up volume. "What am I going to do with you? You're a freak and no one will adopt you!" She said took a deep breathe and said "You're punishment is no lunch or breakfast for three weeks. Now, leave" She said as the girl walked out of the office. "I hate her so much..." She mumbled to herself as she walked to her room. The girl, named Ky, was wearing a tattered dress she had mended so much that the original pattern couldn't be seen. As she reached her room, she looked down at her tattered dress and sighed. As she entered her room, she looked around and said "I will get out of here." Soon an idea popped into her head. She ran over to her bed and pulled out a small bag. She put the few items she owned and the teddy bear her parents gave her before they were killed by hunters. She set the bear in her bag and hid it under her bed. All of the other orphans had gone to bed except two, herself and another little girl about her age. That girl had recieved a new coat and dress that day and Ky had coveted the dress and coat since she saw it. Ky walked down the darkened hall to see the young girl's door open. As she shifted, Ky snuck into the room. "A fox!" Screamed the girl as she ran down the stairs. As soon as the girl was gone, Ky grabbed the dress and coat and ran to her room. She changed into the dress, put her shoes on and put the coat on. They fit her perfectly and she was happy. She grabbed her bag and opened her window. She was lucky enough to have the fire exit at her window. Jumping out her window, she was able to get down to the ground quickly. Soon shouts were heard from the orphanage as the girls ran around and soon the booming voice of the head as heard, trying to call them down. She smirked and ran off, trying to think of other things than the dark around her. As she ran, she made her way to the park. As she neared, she saw bodies of those who had been killed previously into the night. She held back a scream as she ran on. Soon she saw a building, but three figures before it. "Better stay away from them." She whispered as she took a detour and ran on and on until she saw the mayor's office. "Hm..." She thought to herself as she ran to a window and messed with it slightly until she made a crack. Pushing it up slightly, she made just enought room for her to get in. She shut the window and ran over the corner so no one could see her. She pulled out the teddy bear that had been packed in her bag and hugged it. "She'll never find me in here." She whispered to the bear.

((Okay...Enough with the thanks you's and sorry's...Delete the posts right after when Kina introduces her new character...And so the story continues...)) Darklight looked to the ground and sighed. "At this point, I don't even care what we do." He looked at the two girls. "We'll go with what's-her-name and if that doesn't work we'll go with your's, Artemis. Sound good?" He leaned against a tree and waited for the two to response. ************************ Ketsu looked at Sarah and thought for a while before answering her. "She's right." He said it loud enough so that all of them could hear. "The hunters won't be close enough to see or hear us, but they will be able to follow us. Our foot prints. Even if we try to cover them up. We will have to split up. Into three groups we'll go. One will go straight to the base, any who can fly and light-wieght people, to not have foot prints in the ground." He stopped, making everyone else stop. They gathered into a group to see what he was talking about. "That would be me, Rei, Ato, and possibly Luna. Let's see, there's ten of us, so that's two groups of four and one of two. No. Change that, two groups of three and a group of four. Nara will have to go to the base, plus me, and Heathar, you should come, and Rei you too." He paused to see if they agreed, which they did. Heathar went back to stand next to Rei, Rai and Nara. "Then Nick, Nausica, and Sarah, you go to the city hall. Nick, you know where to go when you know you are safe to come to the base?" Nick nodded and grabbed Nausica's hand. He looked back at the lion girl, Sarah and smiled. "And that leaves Luna, Rai and Ato to go back to the park." "The park!? But won't we easily get attacked?" Rai brought up. Ato looked to her and shook his head. "We'll end up deeper in the east. The hunters won't be able to know where in the park we'll end up. Plus in that area are many mountains and caves. We should be the safest." Ketsu looked at all of them and smiled. "Then it's settled. Nick, Nausica and Sarah to the west, Ato, Luna and Rai to the east, and Heathar, and Nara with me to the north. Get into your groups now and we'll split when we reach that point." *************************** "Okay. So, you will go into the tunnels and try to find them, while Artemis and I await for any information from you? That's the plan?" They were walking back towards the building that was the first safe house of the Sups Darklight stopped and turned to them. "I don't like the idea of just standing here, waiting. I say that once you go down, an hour later or so, we head down also. There has to be dirt down there, we'll be able to see the foot prints. Unless you have a better idea than that." He quickly glanced back to the building, waiting for one of them to reply, when he saw a familular face standing around the corner. Maybe I'll just create a whole new plan of my own. That girl would be very useful if I could just get her to join me. He smiled, but quickly stopped and turned back to the girls.

Luna followed Ato and Rai in silence. She was thinking about how they could possibly get the Hunters off their backs without any more death.
Her parents had been killed by Hunters, but she didn't exactly have a grudge against them. To be kind to all, was the philosophy that her parents had taught her after all. To kill another for the death of one, was not going with that philosophy.
What other option was there though? These Hunters obviously wanted to kill them, and had killed... It seemed like their only option was to run, unfortunately. "It's so perplexing," Luna murmured quietly.

Rai looked to Luna. "What's that?" But before Luna could say anything, everyone was stopped. Rai jumped up to see what was happening. She saw Ketsu facing them again.
"This is where we part." They were stopped in a small room-like place, many tunnels going off in different directions off of this room. "This is also where the light ends. In each of these tunnels are no lights, but someone in each group should have something, correct?"
"I can create a fire." Ato spoke first.
"And we can see in the dark, no big." Nausica answered for her group.
"And Heathar has the glow." Ato also said.
Ketsu nodded. "Okay, then. Each group knows where their going." He looked at each person. "Good luck to all of you, and may you arrive safely at the base soon."
They split into their three groups and started deviding towards one of the tunnels. Ketsu grabbed Heathar, his wings sproting from his back, and Rei grabbing Nara, the same with her wings.
"And bring any Supe that may still be out." Ketsu added before lifting off the ground and flying into a tunnel to the north, Rei following him, doing the same.
Nick grabbed Nausica and Sarah and lead them down a tunnel to the west.
Ato looked back at the two girls left, Rai and Luna and nodded his head. "Let's go." And he walked into a tunnel to the east.

"That sounds good. As long as there are no more objections, I'll go find them." Yuuki began walking towards the safe house.
Nara held her bag tightly. Even though she couldn't see anything, it felt like a far drop, and she'd be completely lost without her laptop. Not to mention that if she fell she'd die...
Upon entering the safe house, Yuuki found the hole that led doen to tunnels. "So that's how they do it..." she mumbled and started to cut her skin and rip her clothing in painful spots. Those Sups were smart and if it didn't cause pain, it wouldn't be believable. She waited a second for the bruises to form at least a little bit and then headed down. She came to a crossroads and stared at the ground before heading west...

It seemed like forevery, but they finally reached City Hall. They settled into one of the rooms and sat and talked, mostly Nick and Nausica talked and Sarah watched and waited. She hoped with all her heart that the others were alright.
"Fine with me" Artemis said with a sigh. She just wanted to get moving and not stand there forever.

Rei looked down at Nara. "How you doing? Guessing this is your first time flying. Especially without the plane part." She paused. Her arms were getting tired already. "Hey, Ketsu! I'm taking a break." Ketsu nodded and slowed down. Both of them soon stopped and landed on the ground. "We're far enough that it won't matter if they see these set of foot prints. But, be ready just incase one did go down this path." He sat down against the wall, Heathar joining him. Rei stretched her back and arms and smiled to Nara. "Been so long since I've carried that much weight. Would you mind to be on my back? You'll also be more secure back there, and I could fly faster and longer."
"They would have been here by now if one had followed us." Nick protested. "Maybe so, but that doesn't mean that they aren't just waiting for us to be unprepared." Nausica pushed him. Nick sighed and crossed his arms. "I still find it interesting that he put two Shifters and a Were in the same group." "Who? Ketsu?" Nausica was talking in a calmer, softer voice now. "Yeah. Why not some mixing up?" Nausica didn't really know how to answer and just shrugged. She looked to Sarah and smiled. "So. How long have you known about your powers? And when did you hear about this meeting?" Nick quickly looked to Sarah with widened eyes, as if she had just suddenly appeared out of nowhere. But he was just so caught up in arguing with his girl friend, that he forgot about her.
Rai stayed back with Luna as Ato lead them down the path. "This place must be really far to the east." "Don't worry. We're almost there. There's a hatch in the top somewhere, should have a slight glowing around it. It actually opens up inside of a hallowed tree and there's a door in the tree. There is also a cave near by that I figure we'll stay in for the time being." "Until we can get up to the base." Rai sighed. She was missing her sister and it was too far to try and talk to her. She speed up her pace, so she was standing next to Ato more. "So. What exactly can you to do? Power wise, I mean." Ato stayed silent, letting Luna answer first.

Luna looked up when she heard the question asked and smiled. "Isn't it obvious already? I'm a psychic. I can make things move through telekinesis, and I can also create a shield. Not for very long though, shields take up a lot of energy," she paused and then continued. "I can read a person's mind, although it's hugely dependent on them. If they're a Sup, most often, I can't read their mind unless they shout at me. Humans, I could read them, if they didn't have a strong will to resist. That's about it, oh, and I can erase a human's memories slightly."
She remembered how she was able to see without the use of her eyes and she wondered if she should add that she was able to do that. Nah, she'd tell them if they asked. She wasn't sure of that ability herself.

Yuuki was starting to get tired of walking. She had to reach the end sometime soon. She added a limp to her walk and started crying "Help!" in case anyone was nearby. She had to look convincing, after all.
"I wouldn't mind being on your back. I think I'd be less freaked out if I did that." Nara smiled uneasily and resisted the urge to puke in the corner upon landing. "Sorry I'm such a burden."

Sarah jumped slightly since she was so concentrated on other things. "I've known since birth. My parents were shifters too, both lions also. We lived in Africa most of our lives and then they were killed so I moved here. And I found out about the meeting from a fellow sup. She told me a few months back, but I didn't see her at the meeting, which is kind of strange." She said with a worried tone at the end. "She always goes to them..."
Having found a few cushions, Ky curled up on them in the corner as her eyes became tired. She wanted to stay awake, but she didn't know if she would be able to.
"Artemis..." A voice said in a hushed tone as the owner of the voice saw the huntress and the hunter outside of the safe house. The owner had just arrived from where the meeting was to take place and saw the massacre. "If they even touched Ketsu and the rest, I'll rip them to shreds." She said with anger as the owner jumped down before the hunter and huntress. "Talon!" Artemis shrieked as she pulled two knives from her side. "Its nice to see you too sister." Talon said with a smirk. "Let me guess, you came to kill the rest of my kind off." She said as wings sprouted from her back. "You've gotta catch me!" She said as she shifted all the way and started to fly, hoping her sister would follow her and maybe even the hunter follow too. 'Ketsu...you have to be alive!' She thought.
