Ketsu stood, hearing a sound. "We need to go." "Why?Like you said, there shouldn't be anybody close to us." Rei protested, standing also. "I don't want to leave the base alone for this long." He picked up Heather and started to fly donw the tunnel. Rei sighed. "I guess we're going. Come on--" She kneeled down so Nara could get onto her back and then flew off, following the other two. "Do you really think that the hunters would find the base this fast?" She asked, mainly to herself.
Nausica smiled. "I found out around five years of age. My parents told me. It was interesting to find that my Shifter blood came down starting for the perhistoric era. That's why I'm a Shifter of a Saber." "And I still can't believe how she's always so happy and calm. I mean Sabers were fearsome hunters." Nausica glared at Nick and laughed. But she suddenly stopped when she heard someone. Nick was about to say something, but she quickly silenced him. "What is it?" Nausica stood. "A person. But I don't think it's a hunter. Too young." She opened the door to the rest of the building and went out. "Stay here." Nick said to Sarah, usually indicating that he was going to go also, but he just sat there. Nausica walked through the darkened halls. "The voice came from where the entrance to the tunnels are. Maybe it's a Sup that was left behind, or--" Suddenly she fell to the floor. She looked at what she tripped over and sighed. It was a young girl. "I'm sorry. Are you alright?"
Rai smiled. She looked to Ato for his answer. "I'm a Wizard. An elemental Wizard. I can create and control fire, water, wind, earth, and darkness." He was about to continue, but Rai ran ahead and yelled, "I found it!" She was pointing to a hatch in the ceiling. The three walked over to it. "Never realized that it was so high up." Rai said. "That's why I'm usually the one sent to this tunnel when we need to." Ato created an air platform for the three of them to stand on. He stepped on first, letting the other two know what it was, then they were all on. He lifted them up and opened the hatch when they were close enough. He closed the hatch underneth them and made the platform vanish. He searched for the other hatch in the sides of the hallowed tree. When he found it, he pushed it open and walked through. "We're here. Back in the forest, and there are no hunters around."
Darklight sighed as Artemis ran off. "We're supposed to stay here!" But he didn't struggle any longer when he saw that Takai was running in that direction also. She didn't even notice the bird Shifter, or the two hunters behind her. "Perfect." And he caught up with Artemis.

"Shoot!" Artemis shouted as she realized she lost Talon. After arguing with Darklight for a while, they made their way back to the base.
"Good." Talon thought as she flew on and beat the hunters back to the base. Sneaking through a small hole in the roof, she was able to get into the tunnels without the sup that was helping the hunters seeing her. She flew on until she saw where the tunnels divided. Knowing her way, she chose a route and it led her straight to Ketsu's group. Soon she saw the eagle shifter, vampire and rest of the group. "Hey" She said as she landed before them and shifted back to her human self. She was hearing a brown skirt, a tan shirt with a brown scarf and her black ribbon positioned in her hair. "Hey Ketsu, everyone" She said with a smile as her brown boots hit the ground. "I see Artemis has found us." She said with disgust in her voice. "I'm sorry I missed the meeting. I got...caught up." She said as she looked at Ketsu with 'I'll explain later' eyes.

Ketsu made a sudden stop as Talon landed in front of them. Rei almost ran into him, but quickly flew to the side and past them. She stopped and landed. "What was that!?" She yelled, walking back to the group. Ketsu smiled and hugged Talon. "I'm glad you're alright. Everyone, this is Talon, a good friend of mine." He put emphisise of the word 'good'. Rei smiled, holding back a laugh. Oooo--Ketsu's in love! Or are they already together? Never seen them together... She thought about this, spacing out slightly. "Do you know anything about that other hunter she's with?" He asked Talon. ***************** Takai looked up and noticed a bird flying over head. She glanced back and saw the two hunters, but they were a wase back. She followed the bird for a while, being able to lose the hunters. "Are they following me or the bird?" She looked back up at the bird and saw it flying back towards the base. "Must be another Sup." She sighed and ran up the street again. I have to reach the base before he does. I can't let this happen--She then suddenly stopped to see a dark figure standing up ahead... xxxxxx Darklight sighed. "What was that, anyway. You actually have a Sup sister? Can't see why you hate them then." He laughed and leaned against a tree. He still wasn't happy that he lost the Death girl, but he figured he'd find her at the base. "You remember that girl that couldn't die?" He waited but got no answer, so continued. "I still think if we get her on our side, she could just kill all the Sups easily." He stopped and looked at the forest behind them and sighed. "This is too boring. I'm going to go explore the forest. See if there's anyone who was left behind." And he walked into the forest.

Luna looked around and tilted her head to the side. "Are you sure? What if the hunters choose to come back to find any stragglers?"
She didn't like the thought about being hunted without knowing where her enemy was. It was unnerving.
Her eyes glowed purple and she checked the surrounding area... Ato was right... there were no Hunters around... currently.

Ato looked at Luna. "I'm sure. There is never much life out in these areas. Not sure why, though. But it makes it so much easier to sense when there's someone else." He smiled and walked away.
"Wait!" Rai yelled, running to catch up. They were heading towards a rocky hill. Ato pointed out the cave entrence. "That's the cave. There's another one, more to the north, that leads to the base. This one is just for shelter."
They went inside and settled down. Rai was jumping around, happy to be out of that dark tunnel. "I'm gonna go around outside for a while. Get some freash air."
"I wouldn't if I were you." He closed his eyes and relaxed. "It's gonna rain soon."
Rai tilted her head. She was amazed, but also wasn't sure if it was just a joke, but Ato didn't seem like the guy to joke around. So, she just sat along the side.

Luna smiled as she heard what Ato said. "Rain really?" She had always loved the rain growing up, and found that it helped her to relax easier.
She sat near the entrance and waited for the rain to fall so that she could play with the falling drops. If they were going to merely wait, she was going to enertain herself.

"Yeah. I could feel it in the air as we came here." His eyes were still closed.
Rai looked at him. He was very interesting. She then saw a couple of rocks floating in front of his face. They were spinning in circles. He was doing this. She was very amazed. She continued to watch him as more rocks added in and created a small show.

The man turned around to face Takai. "Why do you intend on disobaying me?"
"No. I'm not, Master." She bowed her head and he walked up to her. He placed a hand on her sholder and she looked up into his eyes. "Are you sure? I was sure you were going to the Sup's base to warn them."
"No. I would never disobey your orders."
"And now you lie to me? Those Sups are a bad influence for you. Do I need to punish her just to keep you from disobeying?"
He moved out of the way and a young girl was now standing next to him. He held out his other hand and it started to glow a dark purple.
Takai just stood there, watching. Tears ran down the other girl's face. "No. I will follow my Master's will."
The man smiled. "Good. I see that your 'friends' from the meeting are still in the tunnels. Maybe you should pay them a visit."
Takai bit her lip and looked to the ground. "Yes."
He laughed and in a cloud of smoke, he and the young girl vanished.
Takai looked up and for the first time, tears stained her face...

Luna turned her head to look and grinned. She saw some pebbles on the floor and her eyes glowed. The pebbles rose up and seemed to dance around the rocks that Ato was controlling.
Rain started to fall as Ato had predicted and Luna grinned once more. She brought in some rain drops and made them dance as well.

Ato opened one eye and looked to Luna. He smiled and laughed. "Another way I knew it was gonna rain--"
Rai was confused and looked to Luna and saw what he was laughing at. There was a person-shaped water blob sitting on Luna's sholder. Rai laugher also. The water person was doing a sort of rain dance.
Rai wished she had some sort of power like they did. All she had was normal Vampiric abilities and the ability to be in the sun. That was very unic, but her sister had wings. She wished there was something else.

Luna glanced over to her shoulder and laughed. She peered over to Rai as she sensed longing. She continued with her moving objects but focused on Rai. "So, you're a vampire right? I haven't met one actually yet, or rather gotten to know one. What can you do?"

"I don't know alot about him, but I know some. He's called Darklight. He can also hide from eyes. In other words, you can make people do things by looking into their eyes, but it doesn't affect him." She said to Ketsu. She sighed, "And I guess my sister has teamed up with him..." She leaned her head on Ketsu's shoulder. "We need to keep moving though. I take it there are three groups, one at city hall, one to the park and this one right? Well, the park group isn't safe. I take it the hunters will become bored just waiting and will search for sups that may have become seperated in the attack and yes, I saw the massacre. Also, if some early morning jogger goes through the park and sees the bodies, they'll report it and if the park group is found, they may be taken in for questioning. The group at city hall is safe as long as they stay inside for now. And we're no safer. There's a sup on their side. She's going to come find us. We need to move." She said as she lifted her head. SHe brushed her long hair from her face as she looked at the small watch on her wrist. "It will become light in a few hours."
Having been tripped over, the young girl jumped up and stared at the girl who had tripped over her. She slowly nodded when she was asked if she was okay. "What is it?" Sarah asked. "A young girl." She was answered. Sarah appeared to see the small child clutching a teddy bear. "What's your name?" Sarah asked as she dropped to her height. "K...ky..." Ky whispered, scared for her life. "Don't take me back...I can't go back...I won't go back...." Ky said, refering to the orphanage.

Yuuki continued to wander the tunnel, still faking a limp. She had heard something ahead, but that was a while ago and she wasn't going to rush up to meet it. Sighing, she started up the call again, making her voice even more desperate now. "Help! Someone please! Anyone! Help!"
Nara put a hand to her bag. She so desperately wanted to enter the new knowledge that she had learned. She wished they were in the other safe house so she could ask Ketsu some more questions. The email nagged at her memory. If she had never gotten that, she wouldn't have been here now. 'I wonder who sent it...' she thought, switching her clunky headphones for some earbuds and placing one into her ear.

Ketsu nodded and looked at the three others. "They can take care of themselves. Right now we need to get to the base." Heathar climbed onto his back as his wings came back out. "We're getting close, so I figure we'll be there in the next hour."
"Less than that." Rei said as she stood up. "Listen." Everyone silenced and voices could be heard. Many voices, the voices of their fellow Sups. Ketsu nodded. "Good. The closer the better."
Rei looked down at Nina and sighed. "Coming lazy butt?"

Nausica hugged the young girl in her arms. "It's okay. Wherever you were, we will not take you back there." She was worried about having a child with them, being hunted and all. And she didn't know if this girl was a Human or Sup. She couldn't possiblly take a Human girl with them--
Nick slightly kicked Nausica in the side and she looked up at him. "What?" She asked. He nodded towards Ky's backside. Nausica looked and saw a short fox tail. She smiled and looked at Ky. "You don't have to worry. All three of us are Sups. We'll protect you." She looked around. "Tell me, where are you parents?"
Nick walked to the passage and went threw. He had heard a voice calling from inside. He figured it was the same voice that Nausica had heard earlier. "Hello? Is someone down there?" His voice echoed threw the tunnels.

Rai looked up at Luna and smiled. "Just like any Vampire, I can heal myself, I have hightened senses as well as agility, and we have to drink blood to keep our energy up. Thankfully, we don't have to drink blood that much, it's actually not that good. Only a few Vamps like it and some do it too much and become blood-sucking monsters. That's where all the Human stories come from. But, other than that, I have one thing that very few Vamps have. I can actually be in the sun light. For most Vampires, the sun light will weaken and may kill them, but it doesn't affect me!" Now that she said it out load, she felt more proud of herself and who she was.

Darklight leaned against a tree. He was far away from where Artemis was, and he hadn't seen anyone yet. He closed his eyes and sighed again. "Why is this so hard?"
"Maybe because you don't want to do this."
He quickly stood up straight and looked around. "Who said that!? Show yourself!"
"Forgotten me already? Shame." A human boy walked through a tree in front of Darklight. The boy was wearing regular clothing, but was glowing, showing that he was a ghost.
Darklight sighed and looked away. "What are you doing here, Setsuna? Why can't you just leave me alone?"
The boy laughed. "What fun would that be? The Great Beyond is sooooo boring! It's much more fun to annoy you. Plus, I promised someone I wouldn't let you make the same mistake."
Darklight threw a knife at him, which just went threw him and into the tree. "Go away. Just because you're a ghost, doesn't mean I can't kill you."
"Awww. You wouldn't do that. You have too much heart."
"What's that supposed to mean? I have no feelings towards anyone. Why do you think I'm killing all these Sups!?"
"Doesn't mean you enjoy it--"
"Of course I do! I enjoy every second of it!" He walked away, but Setsuna quickly caught up.
"Don't be like that. Just because you think you enjoy it, I can see in your heart that you despise every moment of it."
Darklight sighed. "I ignored my heart long ago. I have no feelings for any of these monsters."
"Oh? What about that Demon girl?" The boy crossed his arms and Darklight stopped. "Yeah. I can see that twinkle in your eye every time you see her. Is it because she looks so much like her?"
Darklight clenched his fists and bit his lip. "Shutup--"

Talon nodded as she morphed into a beautiful, tanish-brown bird and flew around until the rest of the group was ready and then the group proceeded to go to the safe house. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I...I don't...ha-have pa-parents...." Ky said to Nausica as she shook. Sarah walked over and sat cross legged before Ky and said "Not only am I a sup, but I'm a shifter too." Suddenly a long, creamish-tan tail appeared behind Sarah and flicked back and forth. She turned her hand to a paw and back again. "I'm a lioness shifter. And you're a fox shifter." She said pointing at Ky's small, fox tail. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Are you okay?" Called a voice that grew closer to Darklight. "You've been here a while." The voice finished and soon the owner of that voice was seen. It was a girl wearing leather and had blonde hair, the color of Talon's. Artemis walked closer to Darklight, but careful incase he decided to attack or something.

(I'll wait to post with Ketsu once Kiki has posted...)
Nausica was shocked. An orphian? This poor girl. She must have been teased because of what she is. She smiled when Sarah showed that she was a Shifter as well.
"So am I. Of a Sabar-toothed tiger. And Nick is a Were, of a Panthar." She looked around. "Speaking of whom, where is he?"
xxxxxxx
"Who's there!?" Darklight quickly turned around, knife in hand. But calmed down when he saw who it was. "Oh." He put his knife away. "It's just you." He looked back and saw that Setsuna was gone, Or is just invisible.
"I was just looking for other Sups. I think there's some hiding places to the east. I've seen caves there before. There's a possiblity that there's Sups hiding there." He started walking in that direction. He grabbed the knife that he through at Setsuna earlier, from the tree.
