The Wild Woods

 

[Russell T.Baar]

As you leave Havencrest City to the right of the path there is a deep wood that sprawls away from you and around the city, the Wild Woods is said to home many wild animals and creatures. It is a popular place for fighters to train and some of Havencrest more ‘wild’ guests to hunt for food, it is also thought that the wood holds more secrets than its simple appearance would let on.

Things in the Wild Forest

Eli left the cathedral graveyard and followed a path just trying to get away from the mayhem and he found himself lost in some dark forest. He didn't know what forest, it was dark and 'spooky' but it couldn't be THE dark. He kept walking deeper down the path through the dead trees...

Eli continued down the path. It was getting darker so he used the flashlight on his gun. He came to a roped bridge that hung over a dark stream. and hesitated. He was trying to decide whether or not he should cross it, he felt had nothing to lose so he slowly crept down the bridge, making it creak with every step. Right when he stepped onto land again some sort of wolf creature pounced on him, knocking his gun out of his hand and clawing at his chest.

 

[jackalopez]

Eli could barely see but he picked up his gun and stumbled down the bridge. He began throbbing in pain and his vision was blurred, he looked back but the wolf wasn't there, it had no intention of following him, not that it could fit on the small roped bridge anyways. He stumbled down the path and when he was near out of the woods he collapsed, writhing in pain and moaning. He passed out from all the pain, sure he was dying.

A couple of hours later...

Eli woke up, feeling like he could barely move. His muscles felt tense. He looked over to see all his weapons on the ground. He tried to stand, and when he managed to do so he felt much shorter, and he was standing on all fours.. He looked down to see paws rather than hands. He went cross-eyed and saw a snout rather than a nose. At first he thought it was a dream, he tried to recall what he had been doing, then remembered the attack. "This cannot be happening," he thought. He tried to speak but all that came out was a bark. He tried yelling and all that could be heard was a howl. He began running down the path looking for the cathedral, which was hard because he legs were getting all tangled. "This could take some getting used to."




((The wolf didn't follow him because beyond the bridge was there land, and when it comes to transforming Eli will be able to go from human to a lycan of any size, pup to 7 feet maximum. Also, he will mostly be in normal wolf shape, but can transform into the type of lycan that stands on 2 legs. ))

Drew, Katrina, and Leslie, arived in a small clearing in the Wild Woods at the same time, Drew layed down the supplies, and went to find spare branches to make a fire, after about a half hour later, he was back with five large branches, and seven medium sized stones, fixing up the branches, he layed the stones around the Branches, making a circle, he pulled out his lighter, flicking the bick, he let the top of the five branches on fire, concetrating, he made a shield of air wrap around the flame, stopping it from spitting, and creating a forest fire.

Leslie and Katrina, sat the chair down a foot or two away from the fire, Leslie concetrated hard, hearing watter running on the screws that were now in the ground, she waited for Drew to bend the air, so the coldness would freeze the chair in place.

Drew bent the air, having the air hit the chair, he faintly heard the dirt freeze, he went and wiggled the chair, seeing it was now in place, he sat on the ground next to it.

Katrina concetrated hard, making the fire grow, and having more heat emunate from it, she sat down on Drews lap.

"Which one are we going after?" Katrina asked.

"The other red head, her and the slayer seem to be friends." Drew said, wrapping his arms around Katrina.

They did seem like friends, which was an upside, they had been watching the slayer for a few weeks now, and she was stronger with friends, than if she wasn't.

"Let's go over the plan again." Leslie said, sitting on the chair, as the three went over the plan they had made up a few days ago.

 

[Lights Dark Hue]

"So that's the plan then." Drew said, watching Katrina step up from his lap, and morphing into a little girl.

Katrina's clothes became looser, almost looking like she was being drowned in them, her blonde hair reaching her waist, she morphed curls into, for the altimte cutness, she had morphed her eyes a crystal blue, they shimmered against the fire, she was planning on wearing the little dress they had gotten a couple of weeks ago in the village befor Havencrest, she picked threw the bag, finding the little blue sunflower dress, and the sandles, walking into a deep part of the woods, and changing, she walked back out looking adorable.

"Aren't you so cute." Drew said with a laugh watching Katrina's expression.

She actually did look like a little girl, there were no second guesses with this morph, she looked perfect, and he knew they would succed.

Leslie laughed at the sight of Katrina, but she did look alot like a little girl, which was a good thing, after Katrina were to lead the red head into the woods, Drew would wrap his arm around her neck, choking her intill she passed out, then tieing her to the chair which was infront of the fire.

The plan would be grusome for the red head if she got out of hand, first they would use the tranquilizer, then if that didn't work, they would use the brander, Katrina planed to leave in a minuete or two, knowing she would take a little while to get to the manor being a little girl.

 

[Lights Dark Hue]

"Good bye." Katrina said, in a childish tone, she gave them a cute girl smile, waved and walked out of the clearing, headed back to Price Manor, she thought about what she was going to do, and the girl seemed to be very helpful to new guests, so that was an upside. Walking out of the darkwoods, onto a street, she thought about exactly which lie she was going to tell, she thought about saying, a dog or a cat was injured in the forest, and she needed help saving it, eventually she hit the back gate of Price Manor.

Drew sighed, standing up from the ground, brushing snow from his pants, and walking over to the tranqulizer, he stuck the suringe into the small bottle of tranqulizer, pullying back on the plunger, and letting the needle fill, he flicked his fingers against the shot, letting the bubbles from the tranqulizer disingrate, he caped the needle, and stuck it into his pocket.

Leslie grabbed the brander, sticking it in the fire, and letting it heat up, the brander was more for negotiation, but if it was needed, she wouldn't half to heat it later, she wrapped the two coils of rope threw the diffrent spaces of the wood, waiting for the red head to tie it, it would take three men to break the rope, even then they might not be able too, if the girl had weapons they would search for them, taking them all and just laying them off to the side, they wouldn't get rid of them or use them, just a thing of tourter so she knew she was powerless.

 

[Lights Dark Hue]

Katrina and Alice walked intot the clearing, Katrina hoping down from her arms, and disseapering from sight.


Drew walked up behind Alice, wrapping his arm around Alice's neck, squeezing tightly, not wanting to kill her, only to have her nocked out from not breathing.


Leslie walked over, patting down Alice's legs and pockets, finding serpents tounge in her boot, she pulled it out, and stuck it in the ground.

"Nighty Night red head." Leslie said, walking over to the bench and waiting for Drew to set her down.


Katrina walked out of the woods, dressed in her normal black jeans and hoodie, straighting her hair, and looking at Alice.

"No hard feelings." Katrina said with a wicked smile.

Alice wrapped her fingers around Drew's, trying to pry them away from her neck as she began to panic, unable to think clearly in her fear. She squirmed around in his grip, calling for shadow Alice never occurred to her, which was the only direct way for a Shadower to find it's double. After a few moments she started to really panic when she needed air, finally jotting her wings out of her back, trying to slam Drew in the chest.

 

[Lights Dark Hue]

"Oh look a fighter, well gals we are going to be prepared for a good night." Drew said with a laugh, getting slapped with Alice's wings, which did hurt, but not enought for him to let go.

He puleld out the tranqulizer, uncaping it with his other hand, and jamming it into Alices arm, pushing down on the plunger, as a full needle of horse tranqlizer entered her body.

He waited for her to go limp in his arms, then he would tie her down with the rope, then have Leslie rudley awake her with slaps.


Leslie laughed, readying the ropes, pullying out the pen and paper, there next plan was for the girl to send letter to her loved ones, saying that she was away to find herself in another town, there plan was genious, and well thought up.


Katrina, was ready to lunge at the brander, but stoped herself when she saw Drew dig the needle into the girls arm, laughing at his pun, she sat down, then laying down to look at the sky.

{Me and Cuppy came up with the letter idea, we were planning on you to smash Eli's heart, but thats all I am giving away.}

 

[Cannibalistic Teddy Bears]

Alice kept thrashing around in Drew's grip, terrified that she'd die. She started feeling weak as the tranquilizer worked it's way into her system, actually having a moment where her life flashed before her eyes, she never fully understood what it ment when people said that until now, going over every event in her life, being young and homeless as an orphan, remembering her times with Alaster, Kirin, Freyak, and Damadra, living alone at the cathedral for two years, meeting the horrible woman Morganna, and recalling every moment with Eli, which brought tears to her eyes. He ment so much to her, and she believed she might never see him again. Alice fell limply into Drew's arms, her vision blurred and darkened, 'You saved me from dying so many times before, where are you now?' she thought, drifting unconcious.

 

[Lights Dark Hue]

Alice went limp in Drews arms, he picked her up, and sat her in the chair, seeing a shiny diamond on her hand, taking it off her fingers, and placing it in his pocket, he would add it to the letter that would be given to her fiance.

Leslie, tied her up tightly, checking the noughts to make sure they were tight enough, she gently started to tap Alice's face, hoping she could get awake quicker.
