Journey

[Yumi Nikita]

Yumi looked at the teenagers in complete fear.
"Phatima-san! Tasukete!" She yelled as the gang began advancing on her. "Go away! I have to talk to Jaden-san!" A faint Japanese accent in her words. She played along with Phatima's act, she just wanted to see her cousin. He'd help her with her werewolf problem.
Yumi backed away from the gang leader in the hopes that nothing bad would happen and that Phatima would get out of his dilemma quickly to save the day. Just like in the manga that her father had given her. A tear ran down her now pale cheek as a hand suddenly grabbed her upper arm. She was unable to move away. She got pulled closer towards Kev and let out a small scream. She moved about as much as she could to try to get out of the gang leader's grip, but to no avail. The combonation of sudden fear and extreme pressure made her loose control. Her green eyes began to change colour, a blood red flowing into the iris.
"Iko." She said plainly. "Let go of me and get out of here." The little hair on her body began to extend and grow thicker. Her teeth began to grow to form a different mouth structure which made it harder for her to talk.
"Get." She was looking at the ground.
"Off." Her head tilted slightly and began to look upwards.
"Me." She was now facing Kev.

((EDIT: Tasukete means help and Iko is go.))

[Phatima Zenn]

"F****n' 'ell, the little C**t is a f****n' wolf. PEG IT!" Screamed Kev
The three Ravens dashed towards the mopeds, Kev managed to get on his and started to speed away, Gav had jumped clear of his and twisted his ankle on the kurb, and Neil was too petrified to move, simply stuttering the word "wolf" over and over.

Gav was now howling in pain, he had broken his shin, and blood was pouring from the gash where the bone protruded. Kev was still making his getaway, and Neil was now staggering backwards, still saying wolf, untill he eventually reached the wall.

The raven returned and landed infront of Phatimas head, looking at him quizzically, he seemed to understand, as if a voice had just said
"I am sent to guide you."
The Raven then used it's beak to remove the Bandana from Phatima's mouth.
"By whom?"
"That is unimportant, but I can guide you to the end."
"What... are you?"
"You shall see... For now you may call me... Xanthos"
The Raven appeared to wink at him, then took off and perched above the Lampost. Looking over to the distance, Down the street Kev had stopped his Moped, and was now sprawling on the floor, clambering manically backwards.

[Damaris Y Blaidd]

The raven stopped occasionally, looking at Damaris curiously as if it wondered why she was following it.
I'm heading back the way I came.... back towards the Devils Advocates. Did Austin send this bird then? Still, she felt a sense of unease towards the bird, and kept her hand near the gun at her side.
As she drew nearer the town, the raven flew out of sight.
"Birds..." she muttered.
She reached into the canvas bag on her back and drew her bow and an arrow, although she didn't fix it to the string, but kept them at her side.
Just in case...
She entered the same street she had been in not long before, and saw the raven perched on a lampost. Looking down the street, she saw four figures. One appeared to be bound in chains, two others staring helplessly at the fourth. And the fourth...
A young lycan.... how unusual....
None of them had noticed her yet. She walked slowly towards the group, raising her bow and fitting the arrow to the string. She didn't aim it at any of them just yet, but positioned it dead infront of her, so she could swing it and shoot if need be.

[Yumi Nikita]

On the brink of loosing control, the young girl looked up to the sky and took deep breaths, trying to calm herself down. Animal instinct was begging to surge her mind and it was becoming harder to suppress.
She closed her eyes and tried her hardest to get rid of the oncoming affliction.
"I don't want to hurt anybody," She mumbled. The words were almost inaudible because of her wolf-like jaw. She howled and slowly opened her eyes, looking at her surroundings. She saw a man in binds, who seemed like he was unable to move.
That prey was too easy and not worth the hunt.
She then saw the human with a twisted ankle, who seemed like they were unable to move well.
Possibly. What other prey was there.
She noticed a woman walking towards them, a bowstring taught and an arrow knocked.
That thing would kill me. It's not worth the hunt.
She turned to the injured gang member, who whimpered at the sight of the young werewolf. She began advancing on the teen, phatima's coat fell off her as she moved, revealing enough clothing to hide her human dignity. She lowered her shoulders and swiftly ran at the teenager.

[Phatima Zenn]

Looking panicked at the situation, and struggling against his chains, he turned and noticed the newcomer.

"Are you just gonna stand there or help me get out of these chains?"

Gav had landed just infront of Phatima, and was now reaching for his pocket knife, and twirling it in his hand, still with tears in his eyes from the ankle.

"If I ain't gonna get me that girl. Looks like you owe me."

Gav raised his hand with the knife in it, but a lucky kick due to the lack of chains on his legs disarmed him, and where the chains were loosening he could reach for his pistol and took one shot, straight at Gav's forehead.
*Crack*
A small red hole appeared in Gav's head, and the teenager stood up momentarily, bemused, before twitching as the electricity cut in and killed him instantaneously, blood poured out onto the ground and down the sewer, various screams and other disturbing noises could be heard from down below.

Turning back to the new figure he called out again.

"Little help?"

[Damaris Y Blaidd]

((Yumi: Assuming you went after Neil?))

Damaris swung her bow to Neil, and shot the wall, missing his face by a few centimetres. This seemed to bring him out of his terrified trance, and he fled.
She put her bow away and strode towards the man in chains, keeping one eye on the y oung lycan. Her inner wolf growled a warning.
She crouched next to Phatima.
"Sorry about this" she said, removing his gun from his hand. "But I need a guarentee that I'm not going to get shot the second you're free."
She loosened the chain enough to free his arms and stood up, pointing the gun at his feet.

[Phatima Zenn]

"In the future you might want to check for a second pistol, however."

Lifting open his Wasitcoat he revealed the second pistol, the same as the first.

"Well, what's your business here... *He eyes Damaris over* Human. As a Show of good faith, and in hope I won't get an arrow through my heart, my name is Phatima, and the wolf is Yumi."

Quick as a flash he drew his pistol and shot Kev in the back of the skull, killing him instantaneously.

"We are here in search of Jaden Kalen, I need to deliver a message, and Yumi is related to him, perhaps you know your way to The Circle Headquarters, that is where we are expected to find him."

[Damaris Y Blaidd]

"I assumed you'd have one. I just thought you might be wise enough not to pull it on me while I had the first pointed at you."
She smiled wryly and lowered Phatimas pistol.
"And I think you'll find I'm a wolf. My name is Damaris. And no, I wouldn't out an arrow through your heart. At this range, it's a lot more likely to be a bullet." She indicated the Glock on her hip, and laughed softly.
She put her free hand into her coat pocket, and felt for the card Austin had given her.
Good, its still there...
"The Circle... I've heard of it, yes. But surely you don't expect me to lead you there having just met you?"
She looked at the fallen body of Kev with distain.
"Was there really a need to kill him?"

[Phatima Zenn]

Looking over to Kev's body, Phatima smiled and said "Chav. "

"And we usually know the way... but ofcourse my guide has a little canine problem, unfortunately it seems you do too. I just assumed that as you unchained me, you were willing to aid us."

Looking up at the lampost he saw the Raven

"Strange bird... Oh, can I have my pistol back per-chance?"

[Damaris Y Blaidd]

"Chav?" Damaris looked at Phatima disbelievingly.
"Couldn't you have just...... maimed him a bit?"
She sighed.
"Well, too late now."
She glanced at Yumi and then back to Phatima.
"I'm sure we'll manage our little...problems... alright."
Her eyes flickered to the raven, still perched on the lampost.
"It is most unusual.... I think it led me here. Yours?"
She spun Phatimas pistol on her finger once, and then returned it to him.
"Thats a very unusual gun... I've never seen one like it."
She brushed her hair away from her face.
"And yes, I suppose I can help you, now I know you won't try and kill me."

[Phatima Zenn]

"Allright, well, we'll see what Yumi feels like once she's finished eating..."

Glancing up at the Raven again, he looked quizzically at it, it seemed to look back at him, matching his stare.
"It isn't mine, it found me... It seems to be able to talk to me, inside my mind."
Taking his gun from Damaris he looked at it, and dusted it off
"EPP-49A, No-one knows who makes them, and they're hard to get hold of, one of the rarities I found during my various... deliveries. And no, I won't try and kill you, and I'm sure you could calm down Yumi if needed... Or gang up on me... In which case I'll have to remind you I do carry silver bullets."

[Damaris Y Blaidd]

Damaris looked towards the raven again.
"Hear it in your mind? You're not telepathic, are you?"
She noted the comment about deliveries, but felt it better not to ask. Instead, she nodded slightly, and slid her eyes back to Phatima.
"You won't be needing them, not with me anyway. I've eaten already."
Damaris glanced at Yumi again.
"She seems to be enjoying herself.... looks a lot more appetizing than raw mutton, I'll give her that."

[Phatima Zenn]

"Not Telepathetic as far as I know... I think the Raven might be..."

Glancing over to Yumi again, then quickly away.

"Does she really need to do that?"

[Damaris Y Blaidd]

"Interesting..."
Damaris glanced at Yumi.
"Probably. Young lycans have terrible manners"

[Yumi Nikita]

((What? I haven't said that Yumi is eating him yet! T_T *cries and runs away* ))
Yumi saw the teenager fall to the groud, dead. She turned to look at the killer with a slight growl in her throat. She looked at the two humans and assesed them. Both were armed and both were far superior to her. She lowered her head a little, still slightly angered that she didn't have the chance to kill her prey. She ran over to the corpse and started feasting on the raw flesh. The blood was still warm, but cooling in places. She bit into the tendons on the shoulder and ripped the muscle from the bone. She scooped up the bloody mess into her mouth and began chewing, blood falling down her muzzle to drip onto her forearms.
