Mel stared the wolf down. it was honestly prossessing wether or not to take them both. it then looked in the direction the deer went and took off after it ignoring Jill and Mel. Mel made a whining sound and her ears flattened on her head. She knew it was usles to go after it. The wolf probubly wouldnt even catch it now. Mel then shifted back to human form.

"Dammit..." Her stomach growled. She went over to Jill and kneeled next to her.
"Sorry hun... its rabbits again tonight..."

------------

Finally after a days travel Jason found the camp they had been in just a month ago. As he walked througgh the bare clearing in the woods he thought about how the camp was laid out. 'Mel's cell....' he walked over and stood in front of what was now a mound of snow. Then he thought a moment about what he would do... 'Mel would do just the opposite...' he thought smirking to himself. He sat down and waited for night fall.

As soon as the golden sun disspeared behind the horizon Jason spread his wings and took to the air... after flying around for a hour or so he returned to the camp. ' They seemed to have made there way far north...' he thought as landed. 'interesting choice...'

Jill shifted back too, yawning. "Yeah...looks like it."

As Jill finished her sentence, several white wolves suddenly surrounded them. It seemed as if they had come out of nowhere. These weren't regular wolves either...these were werewolves. One of them growled while another said "Freeze" in wolf language.

Jill looked at Mel and then back at these strange wolves. White wolves tended to live way up north...were they already near Canada?

Mel looked to Jill. "Great.. what did we do step in someones territory? ... just what we need..." She was annoyed and mostly because they left their clothes back about a mile and now all these wolves were staring at them. Mel let a deep growl escape her throat. It was almost night time and she also needed to change in to vampire form. Whatever was going to happen needed to fast.

-----

Jason came across wolf prints larger than normal. there was only two sets of tracks. He fallowed them for about a mile and stopped when he noticed several more. 'It must be an arctic pack' Jason thought. He was in northern Canada where most of the arctic wolves were. It was just the edge of their territory. He decided to sit by a tree until night fall which was only a few moments away. 'they must have joined it...'

(OOC: I'm on vacation so I'm going to be slow to reply >_<; )

One of the wolves was a bit larger and seemed to be the leader of the group. He approached Jill first, sniffing the air around her.

"You're from one of the forest tribes, eh aren't you?"

Jill shifted to wolf form and lowered her head. "I am Chasca, a scout from Catequil's tribe." There wasn't much use in lying about her name or anything, that would only get them into an awkward situation later. Honesty is very important to wolves.

"A scout? You're sure far from home...What are you doing out here?"

"It's a classified mission...are you from Donar's tribe?" asked Jill.

"We are. You know him?"

"Yes. I was in a camp with him and the others up until a few months ago."

The wolf seemed to relax a bit. "Feel free to stay with our tribe for as long as you want, Chasca." After a pause, he walked over to Mel.

"And who are you? You have a strange scent, almost like a vampire." He seemed a bit confused and cautious.

(thats ok. Cant wait till ya get back...then we can chat ^^)


"Uh.. I... my name is Mel... I am... I mean Im both..." Mel mentally kicked herself. 'Smooth...' Of course she did have some what of an excuse. They had not seen people in weeks... or was it months? Mel wasn't sure. "But anyways... Jill... I need to have some privacy... Its almost dark..." Mel said. She could already feel the aching in her back. Soon she wouldn't be wolf, but vampire and the transformation wouldn't be pretty. Mel pushed past the wolf in front of her with out waiting for a reply. It probably wasn't a smart move but Mel wasn't thinking on a empty stomach and the pain was starting to be more and more intense. She did find lately the change was less painful, almost bearable since she first transformed in to a wolf. They were getting less and less dramatic.


------------

Just as the last ray of sun was about to leave the horizon, Jason's wings appeared. Instead of his short spiky brown hair, he had longer almost golden hair. And his eyes where the yellow of a cats. He smiled and stood up. He took to the air. It wouldn't be long till he caught up with Mel and Jill.

(OOC: Do you happen to have AIM? I've been using AIM Express since you don't have to download anything to use it...It sucks but it's my only way of communicating with people right now, haha.)

The wolf ran ahead of Mel and snarled. Who did this wolf think she was? Here they were, offering them shelter and she just shoved through...

Another wolf suddenly ran over and the lead wolf stopped growling. He then turned to Jill and spoke.

"Get some rest."

Jill walked after Mel quickly, turning back at the wolves every so often. They seemed very cold, not welcoming like the forest tribes. The smaller, subordinate wolves stared at Jill and Mel as they left and it was a bit disconcerting.

After walking for a few minutes, they came to a quiet area, dense in vegetation. Jill turned to Mel.

"It should be safe for you to transform here, I can't smell anyone close by."

(AIM: sagehawk12)

Just as Mel finished her transformation, Jason spotted them. He stayed in the air just watching at first. "So... are we going to stay with them? I'm not sure its a good idea..." Mel said as she leaned in and gave Jill a qick kiss. "Although... getting some food wouldnt be a-"
Mel was interupted as Jason landed next to them. Mel jumped back, instinctively she grabbed for a gun but then remembered she didnt have one of those since they left.
"What a nice welcome... No 'nice to see you'? Or 'hi'?" He smirked a bit.
"What do you want?" Mel asked she spread her wings out behind her.
"You guys," Jason said. Mel braced herself for a fight, but then jason said, "Not dead..." Jason put both hands out in front of him as if he could hold mel back just by his hands alone. "Wether the queen wants it or not... We need you guys. We cant take the 3rd camp. The queen cant figure out the next plan of action with out sacraficing tons of lives."

(OOC: Alrighty, added! ^^ )

Jill backed up, growling. "So you only decided to actually look for us when you needed help? I'm not sure why we should even bother."

A large number of wolves gathered around them, many snarling at the sight of a stranger. Most were transformed, they were probably planning on going on a hunt.

"Well you know... it's not that I need help.... its everyone." Jason said a bit annoyed. "Obviously if we lose, its over for everyone. Humans will hunt us till we are all dead," He continued.
"Unfortunatly he has a point..." Mel said. "However... It was already over for all of us when the queen banished me the first time."
Jason sighed, "Mel this isnt time to hold a grudge..." He glanced at the other wolves around them. "Unless they have gotten in to that pretty little head of yours." Jason looked at Mel a little closer. "Well they have already taken away your manners." He dug in his pack and threw Mel clothes. "Not that I'm complaining..."
Mel flashed her fangs and made a low hissing sound. She put on the clothes, but only so Jason would stop staring at her. "No clothes for Jill?" Mel asked.

"She's an animal, clothes wouldnt make a differ-" Jason was cut off by Mel's fist. He stumbled back wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Oh I forgot, your... one too..." He laughed a bit.
"If this is asking for help your bad at it." Mel said.
"Vampires were never good at that..." He said looking Mel in the eyes.
"No they never were, but then again they never need it." A voice came from behind Jason fallowed by two clicking sounds. Mel knew that click sound, it was the click of a gun. But it wasnt just one gun it was two.

1 WEEK AGO

"I still can not find her... I know its been almost a year... NO!.... that wont do!" Ray said as she practiced in the mirror. She was at a hotel in a small town in Florida. She had been hierd by Brandon the CEO of a Major Assasin company to find thier best assasin who had dissapeared with out any trace. She turned to the bed and clicked shut her gun case which had to identical pistols. She was good with duel weilding weapons. Under the case was the minilla folder that had Mel's mission in it. She reached out and grabbed it. Ray opened up the minilla folder for the hundrth time. A job had come up but only Mellonie Morgan could handle it.

Objective: Kill Vampire Queen
Contractor: ______________
Reward: $56.6 billion

Was the first few lines. The contractor was not listed, most likely private. She was suposed to find Mel and give her the folder. It was saposed to be an easy job. It was her first one, it was saposed to get her name out there, but now her carreer was probubly destroyed if she couldnt even do a simple dilivery mission.

Ray ran her hand threw her long red curles and sighed. Just then the phone rang. Frusterated she grabbed it and picked it up. 'I'll prbubly be charged for this call too...' she thought. "Yeah..."
Static buzed through the ear peice and then a scratchy voice came through.
"This Ray?"
Ray had a weird feeling in the pit of her stomach.
"Yes?"
"I heard you were looking for Mel..." The voice said.
"Thats classified..." Ray said. There was something about the call that made her nervous.
"That would be a yes....Try the artic tribes..."
Then there was a clicking sound and the line went dead.
"Wait! Hello? Who is this?" She said in to the reciever.
---------------------------
(OOC: DUH DUH DUH DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!! PLOT TWIST!)

Jill froze at the sound for a second and then turned to the source slowly. It was a human with two guns, a young female. She didn't seem particularly experienced and Jill relaxed, confident that she would come out on top should it turn into a fight. She immediately transformed as her human form left her much more vulnerable to gunshot wounds.

It seemed like the whole pack had gathered, curious as to what was going on between these new strangers. Visitors were rare up north and some of the wolves hadn't even seen a real human before. These were mainly the younger wolves who had never wandered too far from their homeland. The older wolves, though, were wiser and more suspicious. Seeing the weapons, these wolves instructed the young ones to stay back and ready themselves should they need to attack.

The pack leader approached the assassin slowly and cautiously, fangs bared and claws sharpened. Without any sort of warning, he charged. But his intent was not to kill or even injure, only to disarm the woman by knocking the pistols out of her hands. It looked like a risky move but a regular gun isn't too much of a threat for such a strong wolf. After all, that night would be a full moon.

Ray noticed the wolf charging and quickly rolled to the side to get out of the way, but it only half worked as one gun flew threw the air. Ray swore under her breath as she finished rolling back to her feet. Mel quickly advanced before Jason could react. She had always been faster than him. Before the gun hit the ground Mel caught it and aimed it at the assassin at the same time she recovered. the two woman now stood face to face gun to gun. "Who are you and what do you want?" Mel asked in a serious tone.
"Wow... your movement is amazing..." Ray answered. Mel didnt look amused.
"I said who-" Mel was about to ask, but then noticed a folder peeking just out of the womans coat. "-Are you from... where I think your from?" Mel was slightly shocked. She didn't think he would come looking for her.
Ray lowered her pistol and said, "Yeah Brandon sent me... you have an assignment."
Mel smirked and threw the pistol at the womans feet. "Sorry but I'm retired..."

"Besides, I was here first girly... " Jason said annoyed. Ray pointed the pistol at jason and some of the wolves looked like they were going to attack her. Jason smirked. "Pull that trigger and it seems you'll die before me."
"Actually... I really dont care if you die..." Mel said, then turned to the wolves,"hes not with us..." The wolves backed off and Jason look worried.
"Come on! I need you to kill the Queen! I cant have you fucking around!" Jason shouted after a few moments. Mel shrugged. "Its not my problem."

I look crossed Rays face and she looked at Mel. "But if you dont kill her the wolves will be wiped out... she is going to make her move in two days. She is going to betray them. She made a deal with the US she has backed out. It seems the last camp was too much for her... So if you dont kill her... Dammit you have to kill her! ISNT 5 BILLION ENOUGH FOR YOU!?" Silent tears ran down her cheeks as she started shouting at Mel. She bent down and grabbed her second gun and pointed them both at Mel. "you vampired make me fucking sick and I wish you would all die!" Jason made a move but Mel stopped him with her arm out. "She isnt going to shoot me... she needs-" BAM-BAM!! two shots went off and one hit Mel in the arm. The other went in to the air as Jason pushed one of Rays hands in to the air.
Ray then pressed the other gun to Jason's side and pulled the trigger. It wouldnt kill him but he'd be out for a day or so. If it was normal bullet it would had only hurt, but Mel could feel the burning in her arm that indicated silver. Jason's body dropped to the ground.
"Your right I do need you, but not him..."

The lead wolf leaped at Ray, pinning her down and growling, trying to prevent more fighting. At this point, the alpha female walked over and shifted to her human-like form. She was very tall and had long, silvery hair that was up in a neat bun. Her eyes were a deep, forest green and she wore a long, white fur coat and brown leather boots. She talked in a very calm matter and her words seemed to have a relaxing effect upon the other wolves.

"I won't allow any more needless bloodshed in our territory," she said, walking over to the group of humans and vampires. She approached Ray, looking her right into the eyes. "If you try to pull anything like that again, I won't hesitate to rip you to shreds," she said sternly.

"I suggest that you all settle your issues elsewhere. Now, as for you two, " she added, turning to Jill and Mel, "if you need to stay a night, feel free but don't cause any more problems. This is a peaceful area and I'd like it to stay that way." Smiling warmly (which actually seemed out of place, considering the circumstances) at them, she turned to walk away.

The alpha male also shifted to his human form, still holding onto Ray. "What should we do with this one?" he asked the female.

"Have some of our wolves escort her out of our territory. I don't like humans, especially not the violent type. If I see her again, I will kill her," she answered nonchalantly.

As this conversation was going on, Jill had run over to Mel. "Are you alright?!"

"Yeah I'm alright... " Mel smiled at her and touched her face. Then kissed Jill. Ray watched and stood up. "So thats why your here..." Mel glanced at her but didn't say anything. "I know how you feel..." Ray said as she dropped the folder on the ground and was calmly lead out of the territory.

3 Years Ago


"Please come with me!" Jamie said as she crawled through the window and in to her secret lovers arms. They were both 17, almost done with high school Jamie was a wolf but her parents wanted her to have a good education, so she snuck her in to the human territory. Ray, and her had met in school and fell in love but there was a problem. Jamie would have to leave to the wolf reserve after she graduated and Ray couldn't fallow her. No humans allowed.
"We've talked about this Jamie-" Ray started but Jamie cut her off with a kiss.
"Come on you know you cant resist... meet me at Jefferson park after graduation... I found a way you can live with me..."


------

Something in Ray's voice Made Mel decide to go find her later. "As soon as I get this taken care of-" She nodded towards Jason. "I should go after the girl... she may know more... Her and Jason's story dont match up either... which is odd...might be good to investigate" She said to Jill. "In the mean time... you should eat..."

------

Graduation Night

"Its ok... it will only hurt for a bit... and then you'll be fine the first change wont be for a few more days so you have time to recover..." Jamie said as she stood in front of Ray deep in the woods. It was in the park, that had lots of trees fro privacy.
"I don't know Jamie... Wont they be mad? From what you told me there is strict law in changing someone. Wont you be like... killed?" Ray said scared. Jamie smiled at her and kissed her again. "No because no one will find out... we will say you came from a far north tribe... no one has much contact with them..." Ray still looked worried but gave Jamie the ok.

Jamie gently touched ray's face and pulled her in to a hug. She started kissing her lips then her neck. Suddenly Jamie bit in to her neck. Ray let out a scream. Suddenly streaks of movement swirled around them and knocked them over. A vampire appeared in front of Jamie, and Ray screamed again. He picked her up off the ground by her shirt.
"Sorry to spoil your party... but there wont be new wolves made on my watch. You have made a terrible mistake. Do you know what the penalty is for attempting this in my territory? Death." Jamie's eyes went wide. Ray got up off the ground and ran at the vampire . Half way to them he smirked and ripped in to Jamie's neck with his teeth.
"NOOOOOOOO! JAMIE!!!"

"Yeah, I'm starving. You need to eat too, though, so come back soon," replied Jill, giving Mel a quick kiss.

She then ran over to the alpha male. "I'd like to join your wolves for the hunt if they haven't gone yet."

"That would be excellent. I'd appreciate it," he replied. "Oh, and my name is Weland. My mate's name is Freyja. It's nice to meet you." Weland had shoulder-length white hair that was tied back. His eyes were a light green and his skin was very rough, especially in comparison to Freyja. He wore a brown fur coat and leather boots which seemed worn out.

"My name is Chasca, as I'm sure you've been told. Nice to meet you too."

After the introductions were made, Jill headed off with several pack members to look for food. The bitter cold seemed to pierce right through her, even her fur didn't help much. Of course, her fur was also not as thick as the Northern wolves. After all, they had adapted to the weather.

Mel walked over to Jason. He tried to get up but she pushed him to the ground. He made an oof sound as he made contact with the ground. "What are you doing!?" Jason said looking at Mel. She reached down and pulled out the bullet and he let out a yell. Mel smirked.
"Baby..." She held the bullet and took a look at it... it was a regular one nothing special. 'stupid girl... ' she thought.
"Pfft, not like you could take it any better, those pistols hurt like a bitch!"
Mel turned to Jason and said, "Shut up, and get the hell out of here...."
"But what about the Quee-"
"Im not helping you..."


------

After Mel got Jason to leave she went over and picked up the folder. With out looking in it she took to the air. It didn't take long before she spotted her. She hadn't gone any farther than her escorts had taken her. She was sitting at the base of a tree and she was alone. Mel landed next to her.
"Shouldn't you be leaving?" She asked. ray looked up at Mel.
"Technically I am not in their territory..." Ray said.
"Thats true...I'm curious though... why are you still here?" Mel said back.
"I cant leave until I know you are going to kill that bitch..." Ray glanced at the folder in Mel's hand. Mel took a deep breath and looked at the folder. She twirled it in her hands a bit. Then handed it the Ray.
"It's not possible..." Mel said. Ray got a confused look on her faces.
"What do you mean its not possible!?" She stood up and looked Mel in the eyes.
"This mission... If he had known that she was my mother he wouldn't have sent it to me..."
Rays face didn't change at this information, she just said, "I know... its in my folder... about you...apparently who ever the client is that wants her dead knows a lot about you..."
"Well they apparently don't know enough... i cant beat her..."
"You have to, she is the one that enforces the laws and makes it imposable for someone who loves a wolf to be happy! This whole thing is her fault!" Ray said raising her voice.
Mel looked at her annoyed.
"This is what I mean. If they truly knew anything about me and the queen, your client would know that the queen herself loves a wolf! this is a waste of time...and im starving..." Mel threw the folder down and pushed past her back to the wolf territory.
