Welcome to Gaia! ::

Serenes was on her way home, all to aware of the maulings that had occured recently, the thoughts in her mind racing in hundreds of different directions at once like a terrified school of fish.
This isn't good... She thought to herself, but suddenly burst out, "Of course it isn't good, you idiot!"
She stopped, letting her long chestnut hair fall in front of her face, trying to cover up her pale skin, which was now turning a deep crimson as the few people that were around her were staring as if she had lost her mind. She hurried on, dropping a few of her students papers in her rush, then retreating back into her thoughts.
Why would the rouges try to stirr up trouble with humans now? This is rediculous... What could they possibly gain from killing humans? she thought, giving off a deep growl like sigh as she turned onto a gravel driveway which lead up to a gray painted house. Slowly, she fumbled with her keys to find the correct one, and she gave herself a light chuckle.
"I swear. If anyone saw how many keys on this they would mistake me for a janitor..." she said to nobody in particular, and entered the dark house.
User ImageUser Image Feori was pounding through the thick forest with great speed, his muscles rippling with every movement he made under his ash colored coat.
With a low growl of satisfaction, he thought to himself, It feels so good to be out here again. Just like old times when I was on my own, free, without any responsibilities besides the code... Then again, I was hungry and miserable most of the time, and other times, I was chasing off hunters... Man, what I'd do for just a moment to terrify a hunter right about now... Ah well.
He kept thundering through the woods to retreive his clothing, which he discarded into a rose bed so when he wanted to shift back out, he wouldn't have to return home naked. Soon enough, he came upon an elegant red rose bed, and under it, half buried, were his clothes: a dark silken robe with a Black cloak, a leather belt and his journal. He centered his mind, and called to his human side, which caused all of his fur to stream off of his body ,exposing his peach colored flesh, and his fangs dulled slightly while his muzzle shrunk back into his skull and his bones as well as his features became more human than wolf, though the only thing that could possibly give away his normality was his crimson eyes.
"Damn.." he muttered as he stood up, streaching for a moment before putting his clothes on, shaking his head lightly as he did so to get his ebony hair out of his face. "In all of the years I've lived, I don't think i can ever get used to the change."

In Human Nature...


Just what were those brats thinking? Attacking humans, and on this campus. It was an obvious intent to get attention, to “make themselves a name”. Perhaps some of them had to do with a sort of initiation, people who wanted to get inside certain contemporary gangs used to kill others to prove their worth, and lycans were not so different from humans after all. Damned brats, they had no idea of responsibility and went around acting as if they knew everything.

Secluded in her thoughts, it took Lupe a while to notice that her phone was ringing. When she acknowledged it, she ran inside, her long hair floating at her back, and picked the receiver up. “Hello” she spoke with a soft voice. The Thesos kept peace between the different clans and humans, diplomacy and good manners were trademarks of them. Most Thesos could talk themselves out of perilous and awkward situations, and their alpha was no exception, she knew too well the importance of a good impression, and of sustaining a calm, non-threatening tone when speaking.

Down the street the English man walked his hair still damp from his late night shower. He looked around trying to navigate his was though the unfamiliar city. He pulled out a pack of cigarettes and stuck one between his lips. Lykouleon sighed looking for his lighter. he pulled in out slowly from his back pocket and lit his cigarette. He took a puff as he continued on his way. "So most killing are around this time I guess I can fallow the screams and I can find me a killer. Unless the only kill once a night. That wouldn't be because of an animal." He looked up at the sky. "but most of them are at the universities and the closet one is..." he paused lightly. He had not clue where there was to be one. there where not maps he had seen so far. Oh boy this place people drove on the wrong side of the road television had very little substance. gee what a country for one to stumble upon and out of all of them Lykouleon had picked this one. He took another puff as the smoke danced to the sky. "I guess if i can find it i should stake out it out even though it would make me an odd character. " he spoke lightly and walked down the street he was bound to find something walking around this late.

It took several rings before he heard a soft calm voice on the other end of the line."Miss.Selen? he asked as he cleared his throat."Miss.Macolm asked me to call you, I'm detective Wydeker He said introducing himself. He gently pulled at the silk tie he had around his neck, loosening it a bit as he leaned back in his chair. Her black locks falling infront of his eyes, he held back a grunt as he brushed them aside."Miss.Macolm asked me to call you since she knew you had heard of the latest killing on University Ave." he said in a somber tone. " She wanted me to inform you that both Eliz...Miss.Macolm and I believe these killings to be the work of a single rouge..." He said with a pause. His eyes wandering to the crime scene photos on his computer, showing the mutilate coarpse of the young University student, a shiver running down his back at the memories that flooded his mind. The memories of the slater that happened out at a small farm, where only one little girl survived the masacure brought on by a single rouge. He shook his head as he went back to the conversation at hand." We just wanted to inform you Miss.Selen, since we've been find a patern, not just of attacks on students...but also on humans that know about what really lurks in the night" he said as he heard a commotion from the bullpen. He stood up to see several officers running around. He saw Dianna dash towards him." Jimmy there's been another one" She said with tears comming from her eyes. He put the cell to his chest as he looked to her." Who is it?" he asked in a gruph tone." Its...its....Hugo..." she stammered out. The name hit him like a punch to the solar plex. Hugo had been a long time friend to both Elizabeth and himself and now he was dead..." Dianna, tell the boys I'll be there in a bit, get Joseph Conner down there" He told her in a stern unwavering voice. She nodded then dashed away, a soft sob escaping her lips before she disappeared around the corner. He then put his phone back to his ear." Miss.Selen are you still there?" he asked in a calmer voice then he had expected to come out.
Serenes gave a sigh as she entered her house, taking off her purse and lazily hanging it up on the closet door, her high heels clicking on the hardwood floor of her home, and sank into a soft velvety chair.
"Ugh... I don't know what to do as of right now... I hope it wasn't Feori... I beg it wasn't Feori..." She said to herself, feeling a tear fall down her face. Hastily, she wiped it away, hopped out of the chair, walked and turned to the stairs ,and literally leapt up them towards her room, where she removed her clothes from the long day, throwing on a light evening gown.
At that very moment, a thought came to her. "Perhaps...Perhaps i could just go out for a walk." Perfect. Thats going to be my excuse for the night if I'm caught out late. she thought to herself, snickering. She turned to her dresser, and walked over to it, picking up a small, oval hand mirror. She gazed inside of it, and saw her normally pale green eyes turning a dark amber, and she abruptly dropped it, stiffling a scream.
"I...I have to go out tonight..." she said to herself, with a shudder, a terrible memory flooding her mind. She gave a heavy sigh, and ran down the stairs, and opened the door hastily, nearly ripping it off its hinges ,locking the door behind her, and ran out into the street, running into a well dressed man who apparently was English in descent and let out a startled scream.

The sound so sirens and flashing lights now what all that was heard and seen. It was close by another killing must have happened another victim must have been found the in his view the lights danced around the outer walls of the buildings. A woman had ran in to him and she screamed. The cigarette that was handing loosely in his mouth hand fallen on the ground as he spoke. "Jumpy aren't we." he spoke calmly looking around to see if she had drawn any attention to him. "Heh... you okay?" Lykouleon asked lightly bushing himself off a little. He straitened out his coat. This was an odd woman out in a rush so late at night. If she was going any where she should have taken a car right? The is the same thought that came to Lykouleon's mind.

In Human Nature...


Yes detective, I’m here”she replied, Lupe remembered him, but did not dare to call him Jim since he had addressed her formally. So James Wydeker was calling her on Liz’s behalf, it was interesting and relevant to see that the Metrios were as concerned as her. Lupe was taking into consideration all of his hypothesis, and the fact that another death had happened. “I’m afraid I should give you my condolences, sir, the death of another being is always something we regret.” It was an honest tone of sympathy, Lupe was good at diplomacy because she was an empath: she could feel what others felt, no matter the spatial or cultural distances.

The fingers on her left hand started to play with her hair, making rings of it along her index. This situation was awful, the rogue had struck again. Obviously, this was not a regular feeding frenzy, the rogue wanted to make some sort of statement. “I don’t want to mingle in your territory, you’re the detective here, but I have reason to believe that the rogue wants to stir conflict among us, and with the humans, we should join our forces before he or she manages to get us against each other” said Lupe. It was hard to discuss these sorts of things on the phone, she always preferred to see the others face-to-face, for telephones and letters placed a distance in the interaction. “Would you or Miss Malcolm care to join me so we can talk about this further?


just how much nature is there?
Felt her eyes open wide in sudden panic, but she quickly forced herself to attempt to remain calm as she tilted her head forward, letting her hair fall in front of her face. She lightly stood up, being careful not to make eye contact with the man she ran into.
"Y-yes..I-I-I'm fine..." She stammered, still avoiding direct eye contact with him as she stepped around him, but then she stopped, her eyes transfixed by the sirens and flashing lights.
Oh no! Not another kill! she thought, dispare and panic rippling through her body.
She stood in place for a few moments, her body shaking profusly in pure rage for a moment, and then ceases as she calms herself.
What reasons would a rouge kill a human? Does he...or she... have somthing against humans or somthing to simply prove?
She gave a sigh and turned to the man, holding out a gentle hand, giving a short bow, as her gown restricted her from moving any farther down. "Serenes Penumbra."
She gave a small smile, her eyes still hidden behind her bronze hair. Though, before the man could reply, she simply said, "I do hope you are careful around here..."
She sharply turned, and a small breeze blew the strands of her hair out of her face, the moonlight making her eyes glow a brilliant amber before she rushes off into the night.

Jimmy half listened to Miss.Selen and half listened to the comotion that was breaking out in the bullpen. He cursed under his breath as he returned his attention to the phone call." thank you" he said to her senser condolences to the loss of an old human friend of his. " Hugo was a good friend" He muttered, the death still fresh and still the unbeliefe was there in his chest, yet he knew that he had lost once again another mortal friend of his, but thus it was not an unusal thing for a man that had lived over three centuries. He heard her suggestion and nodded " Yes I believe that would be a good idea, Miss.Macolm has just returned from a... trip..." He muttered, he knew that Elizabeth had gone off to a small hick town in Masacusis, on the request of the council and had yet to tell him of what she had encountered there since she had only arrived back last night and to this horror story that was playing across all radio bands and television stations in the city. " She should be at the Macolm estate at the moment, It will take me about an hour, but if we could all meet there, we should be able to discuss these problems without interuptions." He replied as he brushed his fingers through his long black locks as the bullpen began to settle and he could see Dianna returning with several notes."Could you meet me there in an hour?" He asked her in his deep, yet slightly gruph voice.
User ImageFeori ran a bit, picking up his pace as he rushed his way into town, gradually slowing his pace the closer he got to it.
"Maybe I should pay Serenes a visit. I haven't seen her in a few months." He said to himself as he finally came to a comfertable walking pace, moonlight glittering off of his locks of hair. He paused for a moment, as a certain sound caught his ear, its shrill sound a bit muted from distance. He concentrated as he recognized the sound as sounds of sirens.
"...What the hell is going on?" he growled as he bolted to the sorce of the sounds, his mind swarming with with horrible thoughts of his sister. Had she gotten killed by another werewolf? Perhaps a rouge? Or...Or had she killed a human , and what the authorities found was what was left of her victem?
"I swear, Serenes, if you have gotten yourself into trouble, I'll skin you myself..." he sneered, his feet moving faster and faster with mounting panic.

The woman introduced her self and held out her hand. So customs might be the same here? No not truly."Lykouleon Rune Faschust." Lykouleon to her hand and he bowed to her. Then the woman ran off. "strange little one". he spoke lightly to himself heading closer to the sirens. drawing hims closer like a ship to the shore. He looked on this wasn't too far now. The blue and red chased each other across the walls. Voices speaking words that could not be picked out. the yellow tape was being pulled around the scene and there it was another victim. " Lykouleon was not phased but it would be a sight he would remember for year. All ready he knew that not mere animal could do such a job. The mangled wreckage which was a body was no mistake that something much more sinister was going on. Hr knew he would be shooed away soon and told to move along and there was nothing to see. But he saw enough all ready. He sighed and fiddled with his lighter. "I'm gonna need those silver bullets again." He spoke lightly already having a good feeling that the cause was as plain a stone. He could tell that this seems just like a random killing either there was a disputer of a territory fight going on now. The killing had to stop either way. But he would have to stain his hands a little to even getting close to stopping such a crime.

Of course, detective. I shall be there in an hour. I guess you must be very busy now, I shall leave you to your duties, goodbye,” said Lupe. What a complicated situation...Well, at least, the Metrios are good people to work with. They had faced dire scenarios before, with a bit of luck they would be able to find this rogue before he did more damage. And yes, they would show him the justice of the code.

Lupe pressed a button on her intercom. “Mindy, dear, would you be a doll and bring me some hot water? I’d really love some tea,” she whispered in it with a regal voice. Lupe cared for her pack, and tended to employ some of them on her cover job whenever she could. The closer she was with her fellow, the more she learnt to understand them and a better bond was established.

A lady in her thirties opened the door and walked in with a teapot. “Here it is, my lady,” said the woman.

You don’t need these formalities with me, Mindy. Please, share a cup with me. You know I don’t drink alone, not even tea.” Lupe smiled and gave her a soft laugh. Indeed, Lupe cared a lot for sharing her meals or drinks, and had many reasons for it. One was that she found it was a good way of establishing conversation and getting to meet others, and, equally important, it lowered the risk of being poisoned. You did not get to live that many years and survive all those political conflicts without gaining a few, odd, safety tics.

Stronger, and stronger still was Serenes' scent as Feori sped to the sirens.
"Dammit..." He muttered to himself for not being able to keep an eye on Serenes.
The closer he got, the scent was soon acompanied with a nearly overwhealming scent of copper; of blood freshly spilled from innocent veins. His terror grew more and more until he came to a spot where the sirens were loudest, and an area was roped off by yellow tape. HE forced himself to try to remain positive, and singled out Serenes' mark and he followed it to a human with blond hair. From his scent he was somwhere from Europe, but at the moment he didn't care where this man was from. Ignoring the crime scene with a forced eye, he lightly taps the man's shoulder. "Excuse me..."
Maybe i should make myself seem worried so he won't get any sucpisions... he thought to himself, and forced himself to look at the grizzly crime scene. He looked away, and made it seem like he was going to vomit, but actually, he really was about to: the mixture of intense emotions and the grotesqe scene seemed to be too much for his system to bear.
Perfect display, Feori. Bravo... He thought, spitting the last few remains of bile from his mouth.

Jimmy listened to Miss.Selen on the phone, while watching Dianne's quivering form moving towards him." yes things are busy here, I will see you soon Miss.Selen, goodbye" He said as she hung up and he snapped his phone closed before sliding it into his jacket pocket. He watched Dianne finally approach with the notes for him. The ME is on his way" she said in a quivering voice. Jimmy nodded and patted her on the shoulder." Its alright D, stay here and fill out paper work, we've got enuph officers covering the scene." He said softly and she nodded in reply, then sunk down into the chair on the opposite side of Wydeker's desk, her hands trembling and her young body shaking with fear. Jim walked over and gently rubbed her back an placed his hand on her head."It will be alright D" He murmured as he slid his jacket on and grabbed his badge, before turning off his computer and closing it. He glanced back to Dianna as she covered her face with her hands. He sighed softly as he made his way out of the bullpen and down past the dispatcher. He nodded to Ricky who sat at his post, transfering all the calls that were comming in from the crime scene. Wydeker made his way past and out the front doors, moving across the dark parking lot to his unmarked police car and quickly slid into the driver's seat. He then turned the key in the ignition and the radio came to life with transmitions. He grunted at the noise as he backed out of the parking spot and put his foot on the gas as soon as he reached the street.
