*Hidden Nature* A Shapeshifting RP

[NickyKnack]

Anna nodded then sighed "I know." She said softly then looked at him. "Even if it is him, it is very likely a trap, but I have to know."
~~~
Star glanced out also, thpough she figured it would still be light here. They were having breakfast after all. She smiled at him again then looked to the mirror curiously. "We could use the mirror to get there."
~~~
"It takes us out to a part of the river, we will come out just before it merges so we can get out there." Kyra answered softly
~~~
Ember smiled again and kissed him in return before reaching up to hold Bob gently "My little knight, don't attack him, I love him." She said and smiled at the young bird.
~~
"They are mostly alright, but father got caught, so I am temporarily alpha of the guardians." He answered the looked to his phone, frowning before answering. Since he had never been caught, they wouldn't know he was related to Don.
Jason flinched and looked at the dead phone then over to David. "We need to get a meeting set up, either father freed himself or this is a trap and he has everyone's number" He said then looked out the window, his foot tapping the flooor as they headed for the house to get the pack together

"Good girl. That’s what I wanted to hear. You don't let your emotions cloud your vision. I understand your need to know. I hope it's true and you're reunion is swift. We will get your father back, because failure is not an option. Not with family, not with pack." Zypher said softly.
~~~
Falkirk smiled and dipped his head. "Yes we can. That is a wonderful idea." He said with enthusiasm.
~~~
Graydon held onto Kyra's hand so they wouldn't be separated from each other. "This is a little adventure." He whispered to her.
~~~
Cadeon chuckled lightly and beamed with pride at Ember's defense of him.

Bob playfully nibbled Ember's fingers, then made a musical vocalization. Before he said quietly, "Me playing, but sorry."

Cadeon offered Bob a sip of tea. "It's alright. You want some?" He asked.

Bob looked to Ember and asked, "Can I?"
~~~
Keira looked to Jason at his announcement. She wondered how Markus had managed that.

Degan grew quiet. He hadn't known about Jason's and Anna's father being captured. He was concerned for Don. He respected the wolf, even though he'd only meet him briefly at Jackie's.
~~~
Darius waited for the final analysis to finish. When the voice match was confirmed, he spoke up, "Sir. We have a voice match on the daughter. Her number is for Anna."

Markus came over and smiled. "Good work, Darius. Now let's see if she goes to the phone. You put it in the city outskirts, right?" He inquired.

"Yes, sir." He confirmed.

"Good, call that number again. I'm going to type chat with her. Let's see what we get." Markus commanded.

(Ring......ring)

 

[StarrNico]

Anna took in a deep breath, hugging him then headed for the computer again. She knew what was right, but she wanted so bad to just rush out there to him, if he was free...she jumped and picked up the phone when it rang, looking at the number before answering it "Father?"
~~
Star smiled at him again, finishing what she wanred from the meal they had then waiting for Falkirk to finish so they could go together.
~~~
Kyra flashed him a smile in the dim cavern. It was an adventure, but one she did not want to repeat if they could help it. The deepest part of the water here was only to her chest, so they did not have to swim before they reached the end of the cave. She moved to the exit and peeked out, seeing if the humans were around before she would climb out.
~~~
Ember looked to Bob again. "I was playing too." She said, giving him a hug before nodding that he could try the tea. She hoped it wasn't too sweet or too much caffine for the little guy, or they would all be up for quite a while.
~~~
Jason blinked out of his daze when the van came to a stop, then he got out and headed for the house they would use to meet up with the guardians anf the pack that they could get here.

Zypher sat down at the computer and looked to Anna as she answered the phone.

"Anna?! I'm so glad to hear your voice again. I'm sorry, but my phone died on me. I was able to find a signal the closer I got to the city. " Markus type and Don's voice spoke.
~~~
Falkirk finished off his tea and set his cup back on the tray. He stood up and offered Star his hand to assist her up. "I'm really if you are. I'm anxious for some open air and the serenity of the waterfall. " He replied honestly.
~~~
Graydon waited until Kyra said it was safe. He held his breath in fear, but was ready to defend them if he had to. He'd do anything to keep them free.
~~~
Bob laughed and bobbed his head I'm merriment. "Oh, good! I like playing." He said with happiness. He then stretched out his neck and took a small taste. He raised his head up to drink. "Mmmm, very good!" He said with approval.
~~~
Keira hesitated before following Jason. She was silent and she did so.

Degan and Pyro looked to David. "Where should we go to get that tracker out?" He asked politely.

 

[StarrNico]

Anna frowned a little then spoke quietly, though loud enough for Zypher to follow if he wanted to. "I'm glad you made your way back to the city, but you know I can't come out, not since the last time they had me. We would have to send Charlie out that way to get you." She said, lying a little to see if he would catch it. There was no 'Charlie' either, or rather that one would be too old to send anywhere.
~~~
Star smiled as she took his hand and stood up, goimng with him to the mirror so they could uae iot to travel to the waterfall again. She stepped through after the image appeared, holding his hand so he came with her
~~~
Kyra stepped out cautiously, looking aroud then back to him before picking a direction away from the tree
~~~
Ember smiled again "Yes, it is" She agreed, taking a sip from her cup also. She was glad they were together and safe here, even with Jackie sleeping inside
~~~
Jason led the way inside the house, looking around for who he was supposed to meet here curiously."Hello Aurora"

"Inside, come on" David said and motioned them to come in with him to get that taken care of.

Markus frowned as he looked at the list of names. He didn't see a Charlie. He then wondered at her odd phrasing. He then grinned at her tactics. They were very much like her father. It was a test of some kind. He looked over to see if they were close to getting a location by tracking her phone.

Darius shook his head, "Burner phone, sir. We can't trace it." He explained.

Markus nodded and took a gamble as he typed, "That's not likely, and we both know it. Good one Anna, I'm proud of you. In fact, I don't know if I'm bait. It may be a trap. Markus probably wanted me to get away. He wants Aurelius and is probably wanting me to led him to her. I told him I didn't know where she's at. So you need to keep a close eye on her. We don't want her falling into his hands again. Man my head is still bleeding. Does Zypher have any contacts outside the pack I can get help from? Ashton maybe? "

Zypher listened quietly as he logged into his computer. He was going to track Don's phone.
~~~
Falkirk smiled as he let Star led him through the portal. He took a deep breath and looked to the tree of life. It was so lovely here. He then looked to Star again and shifted to his Pegasus form.

Spyro had followed after them silently.
~~~
Graydon hurried out of the water and hastily followed her lead. He glanced around for that horrible flying thing. But didn't see it. Thank goodness. "Where are we to go?" He whispered softly.
~~~
Garth and Bertram came back to the shade of the tree. They'd gone off for some reason. They both looked to the young Phoenix and smiled at him nicely.

Bob kind of got a little afraid of the new comers. He hunkered low to try and hide from them aginst Ember's stomach. Getting security from her proximity.

Cadeon lovingly stroked his back to comfort the little guy. "It's OK. They're friends.
~~~
Omen looked over in the direction of Jason's voice. But remained with the twins. He didn't want to surprise the wolf unnecessary.

Keira looked around the living room curiously.

Pyro and Degan started for the house. Pyro frowned as he smelled dragon. Water dragon to be exact. He stopped in his tracks. Fire and water dragons were opposite elements, she could hurt him easily. He couldn't just walk into her territory unauthorized. Especially since she had young and he was a strange male. "This is bad. I'll have to stay outside. They did not tell me about the water dragon." He explained as he moved back to the vehicle. Degan was confused. But stayed with his friend.

 

[StarrNico]

Anna rubbed her eyes and sat down, glancing to Zypher as he worked. "We are searching around for who we can send out to you now. Maybe David or Myra (Rosie's driver ) can get out there soon," she said, a second test for him and a way of making the call last longer for Zypher to track it. "We don't want anyone we have freed to go back to him, he is far too crueol to even his workers."
~~~
Star smiled at him then looked around as she shifted to her unipeg form. She walked closer to the tree, looking up at it then stopping and looking towards a male she had never seen before that was there collecting leaves from the tree.
~~~
Kyra shrugged "This land is not one I have had a chance to make hiding places in yet, but with the main tree accepting us, I am sure we can make one. Every fox makes bolt holes to use in times of trouble."
~~~
Ember smiled softly, running a finger over his wings even as her other hand cupped his other side to let him hide a bit if he wanted. "This is Bertram and Garth" she said to the little baby then looked to the two males "This is Bob."
~~~
Aurora looked up then got up to look in the living room at the group as they came in. She saw the dragon male and another walk back out and Jason with another female. She waved to the female then went to the door to talk with the new male.

Estelle and Elle got up, Elle staying with Omen while Estelle went to greet the newcomers to the house. "Hello" Estelle said, looking to Kiera and Jason with a smile.

Estelle and Elle got up, Elle staying with Omen while Estelle went to greet the newcomers to the house. "Hello" Estelle said, looking to Kiera and Jason with a smile.

Markus smiled as he saw they were tracking the phone. The software he was using, used Don's phone as a hub. That was how Markus mimicked Don's number on the caller ID. Markus thought about his response carefully. "What does the future seer say? Am I a trap? Don't send anyone to pick me up. Not until we know what she says. I don't want him getting another one of us, Anna. We must error on the side of caution."

Zypher finally found the location of the phone. It was just like he'd said, a short distance from the city. He looked over to Anna and listened quietly.
~~~
Spyro put his hand on his sword and stepped forward. He knew who the male was. Racine wasn't to be trusted.

Castiel stepped out from behind the tree to protect his king. But Racine made a soft sound that stopped Castiel short. "Easy, I don't want any conflicts. That would violate Avalon's peace agreement. I'm just gathering a few leaves for my men. It has been a long time and we were in short supply." He explained nicely as he looked at the bold markings of Falkirk's Pegasus. He smiled warmly as he addressed him, "It's good to see you again, Prince Falkirk. I do hope you family is all well and thriving. As for your lovely companion, I'm afraid am at a disadvantage. I cannot say I've ever made her acquaintance." He said with diplomacy.

Falkirk shifted to his human form and bowed respectfully. "Yes, king Racine. They are well, thank you. As for my companion, this is Princess Star. Princess Star, this is king Racine."

Racine smiled and bowed his head in formal greeting. "It is truly a pleasure to meet you, Princess Star." He replied honestly.
~~~
Graydon felt like such a burden to Kyra. He was completely dependent upon her protection. But the more he thought about how the humans has chasing them out of their home, the more he wanted to hunt them down and ensure they never came back. He turned to look back the way they'd come. Anger was boiling just under his surface.
~~~
Bob snuggled as much as he could under her offered hand and peeked out at the males. "Hi! You no eat me? Right?" Bob asked hopefully.

Cadeon chuckled along with the others. Bertram shook his head, "No, I think I can control myself. So you are safe." He explained gently.

Garth was laughing so hard but shook his head no. "I promise not to eat you. " He replied softly.

Bob ventured out a bit more. He looked to them curiously, made a musical vocalization as he played with Ember's fingers stroking his wings. He giggled softly as he rolled onto his back and grabbed her fingers with his claws.
~~~
Keira returned the greeting to Aurora and looked to Estelle pleasantly. "Hello, Estelle. Nice to meet you.

Pyro stopped when he scented Aurora. "They didn't tell me. I never would have entered the house. I don't want to fight you." He explained hastily. Degan looked wide-eyed at the unfamiliar female.

 

[StarrNico]

Anna was silent for a long moment, frowning. "Who is this really?" She asked with a soft growl entering her voice. "You have his voice somehow, but you have the wrong speach pattern, you speak as he does to an enemy, not as he does to me."
~~~
Star moved to Falkirks side then shifted to her human forrm, watching the king curiously, but afraid a little. She bowed respectfully "King Racine, hello" she wasn't sure what to say to him either, especially since she had not heard much good about him.
~~~
Kyra looked to him then back to the tree. "We could fight" she said softly. "I doubt they have come accros a kitsune before"
~~~
Ember smiled, trying not to laugh when he grabbed her fingers. She lifted him up a little by his grip, though she would never put him in danger. She was playing with him a bit, as a mother would her chick.
~~~
Estelle sighed a little then brightened again. "I have a twin now, her nalmew is Elle, she is in the kitchen with Omen. Oh, Alpha Jason, Omen is supposed to meet you." She said then grinned and turned to go back to the kitchen.

~~
"Easy, i came out to meet you so this would not turn into a battle. The wolves brought you in as they did me and my daughters. This is not my home, so they have say over who comes." Aurora said and dipped her head "Our kinds may be opposite, yet I will start no fight with you on this land" she said then looked to him, waiting for a similar promise so they could go in for whatever reason the wolves had brought him here.

"Just know that if Markus doesn't get Aurelius back, he'll cut me to bits and feed me to his hound of Hades. Think about that kiddo. You may not give into terrorism, but to die a martyr, is still an agonizing death. Live with that Anna. Know that you alone could have saved me. But you choose a stranger over your own blood." Markus glared at the screen and waited for her response. (Sorry but he's evil. )
~~~
Racine smiled pleasantly as he tucked the small bag of leaves into his shirt pocket. "I'm sorry for what Vatgkan did to you, Princess. Know that when I found out about his treachery, I sent him to queen Avalon for justice." He said sincerely.
~~~
Graydon nodded slightly and reasoned, "I'm not sure if I'm a good fighter. But I know if we don't stop them, we'll be running for a very long time. They found us somehow, they could do it again."
~~~
Bob hung upside-down and said "Woopee! Fun!" He twisted his head around to look at Ember. He giggled merrily as he hung by one leg and waved his claw at her.

Cadeon chuckled as he sipped his tea. Bertram sat and watched the baby Phoenix. As did Garth.
~~~
Keira frowned at that I'd statement. But held her tounge. She looked to where Estelle went and wondered about Omen.
~
Omen looked up when Estelle came in. He straightened as he looked to Elle gratitude for staying with him. "Here we go. Time to face the music. " He said nervously.
~~~
Pyro slowly turned to face her. He looked Aurora in the eyes and promised, "I have no interest in war with you. You and you young are safe from me. I respect the wolves and will honor their house and guests. I'm call Pyro. What may I call you? "

Degan relaxed visibly and took a deep breath. He remembered when Aurora came to get Zia and himself to get the tracking devices out. He simply waved to her.

 

[StarrNico]

Anna flinched ar that and pulled the phone away from her ear as her breath hitched. An eerie howl flowed over her human lips before she brought the phone back up to her ear. Wolf song spoke her emotions better than human words ever could.
~~~
Star nodded at that "I know, we were informed of that before we left the castle." She said softly. "Thank you for your help in that." She was greatfyul for him sending the other male where he desrerved to be.
~~~
"Then we fight" Kyra said decisivly before shifting to her fox form and calling out for the animls of the forest to come to her aide. The creatures here only had one nature, so they could only fight as animals, but it would help the attack.
~~~
Ember laughed at hois antics, happy to platy with Bob for now. Gentlyt, she swung him as he hung upside down.
~~~
Elle reached over to take his hand and smiled at Omen "I, we can go in togethekr" She said with conviction "Jason is pretty nice."
~~
"Aurora" she answered and smiled, waving to Deegan then glancing around "What happened to your little friend Deegan?" She asked, hoping it wasn't anything bad but knoweing it very well could be very bad.
