"This place is sooo big!!!!" Sora exclaimed. "So we really have to go in there? What if we get lost!" "We won't get lost. Remember me and Seth traveled through her once to meet up with his sister." Io said leading the way.
Sora had been right. There were turns every where! And so many people too! I hope its not like my home town. But people every where dislike half breeds...
I heard distant barking. I let out a small his and saw David stiffen too. We kept moving but I looked around nervously. They wouldn't hurt any one this time. I was trained better.
I heard screaming up a head and knew the dogs had found us. "Run!" I got a good look to see there were a whole pack. 6 of em. People started to scream and push around.
I ran up with the other half of the group. I couldn't see them any where. "Stay back!" I looked back to see Seth crouched down with half his arm turned dragon swatting at the dog. "Sky!" I looked over and saw Lucy, Asuka, Kasumi, Ariel, and Zero. "Where's everyone else!" I asked. "I don't know! I thought you were following them!" "I thought I was following them too!"
"Look what we have here....Other half-ers." One of the dogs turned into a human. "Intrusting....This is our territory...So stay out!" He turned back into his dog form and started chasing us.
I don't know how long we ran but we finally lost them...With the other half of the group....

Ok sorry...I enjoy drama...Hehe hopefully this dose not interup any ones plans!! Ok so if anyone is confused about the groups...1st group, Sky, Ariel, Kovu, Seth, Lucy, Asuka, Zero, and Kasumi. 2nd group, Io, David, Sora, Dani, Gray, and Kara. Tell me if I missed someone! :)
~Io~
"Hey Seth! What's up?" I asked my crazy haired boyfriend. I never admitted to going out with him, but we both, not to mention the rest of the group, knew that I loved him dearly. I think everybody already figured THAT out, though.
"Oh, ya know, the sky, some clouds, maybe a couple dragons and hawk!" He answered, zooming up next to me. I had been flying next to Sora for about five minutes.
"Ha ha. You're SOOOOOO funny," I said.
"That's the city where my step-sister lives!" He said. He was always looking for a chance to see her.
"You have a sister?!" Sora shouted.
"Step, but yeah, she not a halfer though, she a pure-blood hyaenodon," he replied.
"A WHAT?!" Sora questioned.
"You know, big prehistoric dog thingy," Seth said, acting as if that sounded totally normal.
We saw the city getting closer and closer. The three of us landed, humans again.
The rest of the group caught up quickly. Seth hung back and walked by Kovu. I followed.
It had been a while since the incident with the doctor and I was still afraid to approach the others.I felt there fear of me surrounding my being.I also remembered that one of them was able to figure out my secret.After hearing ariels confession a part of me wanted to tell somebody.I decided to tell the only person who felt the same pain as I did,Ariel.I pulled her aside and took a little way from the group in private.
"What is it?"she asked as we stood there in the brush.
"Ariel theres something I wanted to tell you about."I said looking away.
"What like a confession?"she asked in a feverishly confused tone.
"Yeah about my past."I said.
As I said that her blushing face turned to one of surprise.It was expected since this was the first time I have ever opened up to anyone.
"Go ahead."she said with a nod.
"When I was just a baby my family got in an accident.I survived but everyone else perished.After that i was forced to live alone and grow up on the streets.The reason for that is because no one wanted to adopt a half breed into there full breed or human families.
"For years I grew fending for myself and not worrying for anyone or anything else.One day I ran into a mysterious man.I was trying to rob him but he deflected all of my attacks.It turned he was a half breed as well.His name was Shao.He was a bengal tiger breed.He was also involved with a dangerous society known only as the assassins guild."
"An assassin?"she gasped.
"Yes."I continued,"He was just leaving a meeting with a client when I ran into him.He commended me on my skills but told me it would take many years before I could beat him.Ashe walked away I began to cry about my failure that day.He turned around and told me I didn't fail and that I just needed more practice.
"With that I was taken in and trained as an assassins aprentice.I spent days with Shao perfecting my skills,achieving levels I thought impossible,and growing closer to him.He had become like a father to me and I respected him for that.I hoped we could stay together forever.
"One day Shao fell ill and couldn't be helped.On his death bed he told me to burn down the house with him in it and continue were he left off.I pleaded with him to reconsider but he told me the number one rule of assassinhood. Never get attached to anyone.Witha heavy heart I gave hi his dieing wish.
"As I watched the house burn an emptyness fileed my heart.It was a feeling that I had before.After that I spent life doing everything I learned till that fateful day when I broke my code."
"What happend?"she asked.
"Something that has haunted me forever."I said,"I had been given a job to assassinate an employee of a financial company owned by my client.The job entailed tracking him until the time was right and I did so.I followed him everywhere he went waiting for the right time.
"When that time arrived I had trailed him to his house.The room he was in was dark and perfect to end this job with no witnesses.I pounced on him and punctured hi throat with my fangs.It was a quick death.
"As I stood there admiring my work I heard screams behind me.I turned around and found myself staring down a woman and two children.That was when I realized that my target was a family man.It had said in the assassins code that harming a family person was against the law of the guild.I had broken the code.After that I disappeared from the guild never to kill again."
"Why did you tell me this?"she asked.
"To lift a weight of my shoulders and sleep well at night."I said standing up,"You can't tell anyone else this though got it?"
"okay."she said.
I was right.I did feel a litlle better.I was glad to tell someone this.I was also happy it was someone I knew would understand.I hoped.
please continue and sorry its so late
Eh sorry I'm posting as Sora again.....
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ -_-'
"We should get moving soon." Sky said. "WOHO!!!! Harmony!....Errrrrr...." I knew that was over doing it up I wanted them to think I wanted to go to Harmony...Even though I think its just a legend. People were staring at me but soon dismissed it thinking I was random and spontaneous. Heh works for me!
I decided I would stretch my wings and fly over head today. May be Io or Seth would join me! I stepped back and pushed off with my foot turning into a hawk and flying over head.
I looked back and started getting higher and higher so I could see the mountain part where Ben, Jess and Jack lived. I wish they were coming with us. I knew some of the people in the group disliked some of them....But they are all really nice.
I mean they could have been helpful! Ben was a mountain lion half breed, Jack was a cobra, and Jess was a scorpion! Hehe! Jack said he could kill someone in an instant if he bit them!
I smiled to myself and kept flying.
*Sky*
Well its good to put the mountains behind us! The rocks cut up my paws and now they hurt like crazy! I wonder how the heck David copes with it!
I looked down at my hand. "Stupid rocks...." I mumbled.
I wonder how Asuka will get back to her human form...Or how long it will take....
"Hay guys!" I looked over to see Sora coming down and landing on a tree branch turning back human. "There's a city coming up soon. Its sooo big! And its like a maze too!!" She said.
I thought it over. "Should we go through it?" I asked turning back to eveyone. "It would take a long time to go around it. Me and Seth have gone through it before and if we lay low then it should only take a day to get through it." Io said. I nodded. "Then we'll go through it."
Continue?
Sora^o^ Sky
Oks well if you picked up the hint its like a maze...hehehe....
I'm bored so I'm going to do posting points now.....
Puzzles. I loved them almost as much as I liked hot sauce. They were fun to do plus they helped me think. I took a break from mine and looked up at Gray again, he had that stony expression on his face again. Not like earlier though, he was trying to hide it but I could tell he was in pain. It had been happening frequently in the last few days, though he'd never say that, he felt that he deserved any pain.
I went back to my puzzle, something about his expression reminded me of something, but I couldn't place my finger on it... I thought about Asuka, she was shy yet I could tell she was strong willed, I hoped that it was going well.
I noticed something though going on with everyone, they all seemed to have an urge in telling everyone their pasts. I didn't know whether it was because Gray told his or because we were opening up to each other, after all to be a close group we had to get to know each other. Anyway, my past was nothing to be interested in, not that anyone would ask about it. But I didn't care, the past was the past and I was living the present.
I scratched my back, feeling the scars. I frowned as I felt the numb pain, the cut that was made there was deep. It had severed some of my nerves, my back, it would never be the same. But I could cope, it was just a little pain, I'd gone through worse. I saw Rei pull Ariel aside, more past stories I guessed. Kasumi went over to talk to Seth who was smoking that weird way again, it was kind of ironic, a dragon smoking. I saw Kovu siting by his sister, he had a lot to learn.
I sighed at my puzzle, it was a hard one with ten rings you had to make into a bracelet. I just couldn't figure out how to untangle three of the rings. I looked up at Gray, hoping to encourage a smile out of him but his eyes were closed. I put down the puzzle and got out my bottle of hot sauce, everyone who hadn't seen me with it before stared at me. I drank it with a a contented sigh, my thoughts thinking back to Grays expression earlier, were had I seen-
It hit me like a punch in the gut, could it be... I set down my bottle of hot sauce. That has to be it...
"Sky?" I called to her.
"Yes?" she said questioningly, looking up at me.
"What day is today?"
"Ummm, I think it's Friday, why?" she asked.
I didn't respond, I was too deep in thought, so it was about halfway through the month. "Dani?" Sky said, looking at me thoughtfully.
"It's nothing..." I said and picked up my puzzle again, I had to think. The intertwined rings suddenly all aligned at the movement I made with them and I had in my hand a bracelet. I put it on, still in deep thought, the moon was going to be full soon...
_________________________
If you figure out what's going on, congratulations! If you haven't then I'm just going to keep you guessing.
FYI Dani is pretty good with puzzles, I hope you got the pun.
It's hot in Texas right now, I just want to say that cause I'm sweating with the AC on. And it hasn't rained in months... I'm bored so I'm entertaining myself by posting on here, I'm really having fun. Sorry for talking about my life on a fiction post.
Back to the story, I hope we start moving on cause I need a good place to post the thing going on with Gray. Something dramatic hopefully... Oh, and I just want to tell you people are awesome, this is such an epic story and we got some writers out there.
May Harmony be with you...I'll just shut up now...
