*Hidden Nature* A Shapeshifting RP

[NickyKnack]

Kyra looked up at the squirell then shook her head "Hey, don't hurt my friend" She said then jumped up tot he branches, coming closer in her fox form. She stopped and took a good sniff then grinned "It's a normal squirrel, there are no shifters that live her, so it can be our place" 
~~~~

Starr nodded and watched him go then sighed and went over to sit down, absently brushing her hair with her fingers as she used to do, only there was no pool here. She looked to the mirror then sighed and looked away again. 
~~~

Rosie giggled at his imitation "Oh, but the force is made for good, not evil" She said, coming over to take her place again "And now you get to see the ewoks"
~~~

Anna flushed, watching him go then shaking her head and going to hug her father and brother "You guys sure took your time, didn't you?" She asked teasingly. 

Ember grinned and ran over to wrap her arms around Cadeon "I got hit with a sleeping dart, but I still managed to get one of them before they brought me here." 

"Come on Arran, we should go through before the battle starts" Angela said, gently moving for this new exit. She looked to Don and dipped her head in respect "Thank you Alpha Guardian, there are some here who are kind, please be aware of them" 

Don looked to Arran then back to Angela "We will young dove. Go now"


Estelle looked again "Mother?" She moved then, going over to a surprised Aurora to hug her. 

Aurora was stunned, looking at this version of Estelle. "What? How? Estelle?" She dropped to a knee and looked at the girl before her, very confused.

Graydon jumped up and started to climb the branches, in his human form. He looked at the grumpy old graying squirrel. "That was quite rude you know?" He scolded him. To which the squirrel made a noise and climbed higher up the tree. Graydon looked to Kyra and shrugged at her with good humor. That's when the monster pelted him again with an acorn. "Owch! You little turd!" He called up to him. He looked back at Kyra and grinned. "Our friendship is a work in progress." He said pleasantly. But he then glared up at the squirrel again, while he rubbed his head.
~~~
Ender watched her silently for a few more moments. Before he entered the room again. "Dawn has finally arrived." He stated quietly, as he went to stand against the wall. "I hope I'm not intruding. I can step back outside, if I am. " He said compassionately.
~~~
Ericsson chuckled softly. "That sounds promising. Perhaps you should let your little Ewoks out of you confining shoes. Breathe they must. Parish they must not. " He suggested with an innocent grin, as he said the last part like Yoda.
~~~
Zypher stood by Anna and listened silently. He then nodded his gratitude to her father, for coming.

Cadeon hugged her for all he was worth. He pulled back a little to cup her face and kiss her gently on the lips. When he pulled back again, he looked her in the eyes and said, "That's my girl! Fighting tooth and nail until the end. My Zena warrior princess. You probably won't get the TV reference. But I don't care. I'm glad you are safe." He said with conviction.
~~~
Arran nodded and followed her. She smiled meekly at the one Angela called the Alpha Guardian. She was relieved that her was going to be kind to those who deserved it.

Bertram watched curiously as Estelle hugged her mother. But he couldn't help to notice her mother's confused. What was going on here? Very strange in deed. (dump dump dump! So excited to see how this plays out. )

((Alright

I'll keep her)

( e . :cd )

 

[NickyKnack]

Aaran wrapped his other arm around her also and hugged her gently. He sighed softly,"Yeah, but if he even looks at you then I'm going to do more to him than just humiliate him. He is vile and cruel and..." He sighed again and enjoyed her warmth. This was the first time he had pleasantly experienced heat. It was curious, it felt so different from the cold.
~~~
"Maybe just a little..." Taylor admitted with a smile,"But it's not very dramatic compared to some things that I've done." She pointed out.
~~~
Kristen/Orson glared at Ashton. He was hers! Ashton had no right to hug him like that! Then she remembered she was supposed to be playing the part,"Kristen. We don't have time for this." She steered him away then hissed,"I do not say peachy!!"

Elina gave herself over to Aaran's loving embrace. It felt so safe in his arms. She slid her hands from his chest to go around him. To hug him back. "I could stay like this for an eternity. For nothing else is important right now. Only you and this moment." She explained, as she looked up at him and smiled openly.
~~~
Nashton nodded as he stepped through the portal. "Well, since you put it that way. You have a point." He trailed off as he saw Estelle and Aurora. "Hold the phone! How did she get here. She wasn't with up and she was left at Jackie's." He said confused.
~~~
(Down girl! Possessive much?! JK )
Orson stepped back from Ashton. He looked at Kristen and asked, " Are you sure? I could have sworn you did." He then grinned mischievously.

Kyra held back a giggle and went to Graydon, shifting to take his hand and lead him to the trunk of the tree "Let's get inside then, where he can't throw things." She said then stopped and touched the trunk, bowing her head and flaring her tails out "Mother Willow, Father Oak, this weary kitsune asks for a safe place to call home" She said then spread her fingers "Please, unlock the door" A hole appeared where the branch met the trunk, much like a chipmunk would use, only larger. It grew taller then, Kyra walked into it, tugging Grayson along.
Inside was much like a rustic cottage, the main room held a kitchen area and a living area, though they would have to find cushions and cook pots and all that themselves. There were two doors, giving them each a bedroom and windows to give light during the day. Kyra let go of his hand and spun in a circle "It worked! It worked!" She exclaimed happily as she went around checking everything out. A third door through the floor led down to an underground stream they would be able to use for fresh water and cold storage
~~~
Star looked to him then shook her head "No, you aren't intruding." She said gently. "It's probably best to put such thoughts away anyway. Falkirk and I had planned to go flying today, I don't suppose it would be safe to do that now, would it?"
~~~
Rosie chuckled again "And now you tickle my funny bone without even touching me" She said teasingly then shook her head "These are not the ewoks you are looking for" She said, waving her hand along with the imitation
~~~
Jason came over and mussed Anna's hair at her teasing and grinned "Well, we did have to get rid of a drone before we could go after the cavalry" he teased back then looked to Zypher and winked "Thanks for keeping her safe, ready to get this place taken care of?"

Ember blushed but continued to hold him "I would like to learn where this reference comes from, so long as I get to stay with you for it. I am really glad you are safe too"

Aurora stood and touched the girl's hair "You look like my daughter, but you cannot be her, Estelle is safe back at Jackie's house"

Jackie came over tot he two, reaching over to touch Aurora's arm then Estelle's hair also "No sense getting rash, send her back with the others, this is something we can deal with after. Besides he may have tied the two together somehow since he had her here to work with."

Estelle looked confused now, not understanding what they were talking about. "Mother, what are you talking about, I'm me. I've been here since they found me with a broken wing in that ravine"

 

[chick-adee]

Aaran wrapped his other arm around her also and hugged her gently. He sighed softly,"Yeah, but if he even looks at you then I'm going to do more to him than just humiliate him. He is vile and cruel and..." He sighed again and enjoyed her warmth. This was the first time he had pleasantly experienced heat. It was curious, it felt so different from the cold.

(Down girl! Possessive much?! JK )
Orson stepped back from Ashton. He looked at Kristen and asked, " Are you sure? I could have sworn you did." He then grinned mischievously.

Aaran smiled happily,"Me too." He led her over to an overhang where they could dangle their feet. He sat down with her next to him and looked at the stars. He cautiously put his arm around her again, as if he couldn't believe she was real and it was all in his head.
~~~
Taylor put her hand over her eyes,"I'm not seeing this. This is all in my head. All in my head. It's just something Markus did to me." Taylor breathed deeply.
~~~
"Ha ha ha. Everyone's laughing." She said sarcastically.

Estelle looked confused now, not understanding what they were talking about. "Mother, what are you talking about, I'm me. I've been here since they found me with a broken wing in that ravine" 

Graydon looked around with his mouth a gape. This was truly the most amazing thing he had ever seen. He finally found his voice and said, " It's definitely a lot larger on the inside. Wow, what luxury!" He walked around and looked at everything. "This is truly amazing, Kyra. Thank you for allowing me to stay with you. You are the best friend I could ever ask for." He said, growing a little emotional.
~~~
Ender wondered what thoughts she spoke of. But knew it wasn't his place to pry. In stead he said, " I don't see why you can't go on your planned outing. I however, will be accompanying you both. So it is fortunate I have wings. Fear not, I'll not intrude upon you. I'll gaurd a safe distance away. I fairly good at being invisible, I doubt you'll know I'm there. Unless I'm needed, that is." He said simply.
~~~
Ericsson exaggerated a blank stare. He then repeated, " These are not the Ewoks I'm looking for."
~~~
Zypher grinned evilly and said, "Absolutely! I thought this day would never come."

Cadeon just grinned like an idiot. "I think I'd enjoy that very much. Just as I'm relieved that you came to no harm." He said with happiness.

Bertram came closer to Estelle. "I'll watch over Estelle, until this is all done." He offered, as he noticed that Estelle was becoming slightly upset and confused.

 

[NickyKnack]

Aaran smiled happily,"Me too." He led her over to an overhang where they could dangle their feet. He sat down with her next to him and looked at the stars. He cautiously put his arm around her again, as if he couldn't believe she was real and it was all in his head.

Taylor put her hand over her eyes,"I'm not seeing this. This is all in my head. All in my head. It's just something Markus did to me." Taylor breathed deeply.

"Ha ha ha. Everyone's laughing." She said sarcastically.

Racine stepped out of the cave entrance. He had heard their every word. He stopped short, as he saw them together. He smiled pleased at this development. But he had searched Aaran out for a reason. So he quietly cleared his throat and waited patiently for their attention.

Elina stiffened at the soft sound. She felt herself flush. How long had he been there. "King Racine, how you honor us with your presence." She said worriedly.
~~~
Nashton smacked Taylor and asked, "Can you feel that? If so, it's not in your head, it's real."
~~~
Orson frowned at Kristen. "No they're not." He said concerned.

Ashton was looking between the two absolutely confused. "What is going on here? I don't get it." She admitted.

Bertram came closer to Estelle. "I'll watch over Estelle, until this is all done." He offered, as he noticed that Estelle was becoming slightly upset and confused.

"Yeah, my home was a lot like this, but I changed a few things this time." Kyra said and grinned happily "There's still a lot we will have to make or find, but I like this." She said then went over to him "You are my first friend, I want to make you happy too"
~~~
Starr smiled at him and nodded "Thank you" She said softly. She was glad to not have to give up time with Falkirk and she wanted to try to explain herself from earlier if that was possible.
~~~
"Good, now remember that" She said and chuckled then looked to the screen as Sindel met the Ewoks for the first time.
~~~
Anna looked around and smiled "THen let's get ready to go" She said, picking up a gun and readying herself.

Ember smiled "You said that already" She said, lightly teasing then glancing around and blushing again "We lost track of ourselves, didn't we?"

Estelle turned to Bertram, frowning as she nearly hid against him. She didn't understand all of this and just wanted her mother to act like her mother again.

Aurora watched Estelle then looked to Bertram "I do not know what is going on, but I will find out. Do not let any harm come to her. I will sort out which is a copy later"

 

[chick-adee]

Aaran smiled happily,"Me too." He led her over to an overhang where they could dangle their feet. He sat down with her next to him and looked at the stars. He cautiously put his arm around her again, as if he couldn't believe she was real and it was all in his head.

~~~
Orson frowned at Kristen. "No their not." He said concerned.

Ashton was looking between the two absolutely confused. "What is going on here? I don't get it." She admitted.

Aaran immediately stiffed and helped her up,"Your magesty." He bowed blushing. "Is there anything I could help you with??"
~~~
"You're right. It's real." She glared at him taking her hand away from her eyes,"Because a few seconds ago I couldn't imagine you doing that."
~~~
Kristen regained her composure and chuckled,"Oh no, Kristen and I... Well we never wanted to see this place again. This is a little bit of a shock."

 

[NickyKnack]

"Yeah, my home was a lot like this, but I changed a few things this time." Kyra said and grinned happily "There's still a lot we will have to make or find, but I like this." She said then went over to him "You are my first friend, I want to make you happy too"

Aurora watched Estelle then looked to Bertram "I do not know what is going on, but I will find out. Do not let any harm come to her. I will sort out which is a copy later"

Graydon smiled happily at Kyra. "Well, if I ever master flying, then I could fly to the city and get the things we need. " He said helpful.
~~~
Ender bowed his head and then went back to looking across the way, when a knock sounded. He walked over to open the door to find Qdoba.

Qdoba curtsied to Ender. "Is the Princess in? I'm here to attend her." She asked quietly.

Ender stepped back to allow her entrance. "Yes, she is. I believe she would enjoy a simpler dress and hair. She has an outing planned." He said on her behalf.

"Oh, absolutely!" Qdoba hurried in and curtsied for Star. "I do apologize for my lateness. The ball cleanup took longer then we expected. Please forgive me, Princess." She said softly.
~~~
Ericsson watched Rosie for a moment longer. He smiled gently and returned his gaze to the screen. He must have died and gone to heaven. Because this was paradise.
~~~
Zypher eagerly took the assault rifle that Jason handed him. "Oh, you shouldn't have. But don't get me wrong, I'm glad you did." He teased him.

Cadeon blushed a bit. "I'm sorry, I'm repeating myself. It's just that you never know how important someone is, until to think you lost them forever. It gives you a whole new perspective on what's truly important in your life. I'm not wasting another day without you in it." He said with conviction. Not caring what was going on around them. He just had to say this. "Now let's go kick some butt!" He said with enthusiasm.

Bertram cradled Estelle and looked her mother in the eye. He inwardly flinched, when she said 'Copy'. He vowed, "I shall protect her with my very life." He looked down at Estelle and smiled nicely, "Come sweet Estelle." He said softly.

Ashton hurried over and looked at Aurora annoyed. She held out her hand to the young dragoness. "Yes, sweetie let's leave this awful place."
