"Then who did this?" asked Jackson angrily as he ran over to his now destroyed car, still pointing the gun at Ray. He felt around until he found what he was looking for, a case full of medical supplies. Still aiming the gun, he went over to Mel.

"Stand back," he said gruffly, cleaning and bandaging Mel's wounds. He also injected something--"this will help prevent an infection" he muttered.

Jill sat up and noticed another scent lingering in the air. "Guys, Jason is in the area, that bitch is with him!" she said frantically.

"What!? I am not! If that ass hole-" Ray was cut off as Jason apeared so quickly it was hard to even see him. He struck Ray hard over the head knocking her out cold.
He looked down at her.
"Pft... usless ..." He grind wide at Jill andthen used his super speed to instantly dissapear. it was suddenly quiet all around them. Not even a bird made any noise.

20mins earlier
-------------

"Jason, got that stupid human to set them up. it should be easy to take out the traitors now. She gave Mel the serum to make her mortal for a few days. Since she was the biggest thret to our plans all we have to do is take her out." a very tall vampire said informing the queen.

The Queen ground her teeth together. Part of her was hopping Mel would get away, but her need to win, well.... won over.
"Thank you, Go to the next phase."

The vampire bowed and stepped out.

(OOC: Ugh, I'm so tired, college kills me XD.)

Jill saw a smile on Jason's face as he vanished. A shiver went up her spine and she wondered what his plans were.

Jackson had pretty much ignored Jason and continued caring for Mel. At this point he had rigged up an IV drip and was giving her fluids.

"She should be alright for now but we're not really out of the woods yet," he said, not even looking at Jill.

Jill was lost in thought and simply nodded her head.

"Any idea why she hasn't transformed?" Jackson wondered aloud.

Jill didn't answer although she was wondering the same thing. It was worrisome and she couldn't help but feel like it was connected to the recent events with Ray and Jason. Just what were they planning?

The queen's elite army was all around them. All they were waiting for was the sign from Jason to move forward and take out the target. The Queen managed to strike a deal with the humans. If the vampires could get rid of the wolves and anyone connected to them, they would be left alone.
-----
A few minuets later Ray slowly became contious. She was aware of a pounding head ache, and she couldnt quite remember where she was or why. She groaned and slowly sat up holding her head in her hands. The events slowly came back to her. First the hotel room with Jason, then the car accident, and finally where she was.

Ray looked over at Mel who was also starting to wake up. She looked increadable pale and frail. All ray thought about was that she could save her, all she had to do was give her the reversal potion. She couldnt though, or they would become even more suspicious. Instead Ray said in a quiet voice, "Is she going to be ok?"

----
Jason stood there in the woods patiantly until his cell phone vibrated. He grabbed it out of his pocket.
"Hello?"
"Its time."

Jill snarled and grabbed Ray roughly. "She'd be perfectly fine if it weren't for you! Don't fucking play innocent, either, I know you were with Jason. I can smell it," she said. Jill didn't trust Ray at all and why should she? All she'd done was cause trouble for them.

Jackson sighed. "Jill, calm down. Fighting isn't going to help. Maybe she has something to do with it, maybe she doesn't. But even if she does, at least she might know something," he said, turning to Ray. "Don't think this means I trust you because I don't."

Jill released her grip on Ray, shooting her one last nasty look before going over to Mel. It looked like Mel was waking up.

"Mel! Can you hear me?!"

All around her was chaos and war. Both sides of the battle were losing great numbers. Mel looked down at her own hands and in one hand she held a sword, it was covered in three colors of blood. At that point Mel realized that no one was winning this battle. If it continued all races would be lost. It was however to late. There was no stopping it now. She looked around helplessly and dropped her sword to the ground. Just as it collided with the dirt and blood on the ground, bright light pierced the dark black sky.

Suddenly in front of her was a big black panther. It just sat there and stared her in the eyes. It didnt move. It was like a statue. Mel was about to reach out and touch the large cat, but then realized they were no longer in a battle feild. They were in a beautiful lush rain forest.
Mel could smell the rain and taste it on her tongue.
"You will no doubt change history, but be careful which tool you use to accomplish this task."
It was Ray's voice.
-------------------------------
"Ray?" Mel said weakly as she woke. She then smiled when she saw Jill above her. She felt extremely tired. She started to close her eyes again.
"Mel! Dont!" Ray shouted. Mel's eyes flew open.
"If she falls asleep she may not wake up again." Ray explained nervously.

"And what makes you say that?!" growled Jill. This Ray person knew something, she was sure of it. And here she was, playing innocent while Mel's life held in the balance. Jill's annoyance was quickly becoming pure fury and the nearly full moon was not helping. Power surged through her body as it yearned to just give in and transform.

Jackson seemed to be the only one able to think clearly. "Mel, it's important that you stay with us. If you start drifting away again, I'm going to have to shock you to keep you awake," he said quietly, holding up a device. As level-headed as he seemed, Jackson was actually quite distressed. He wondered about his boss, about his mission, about these people who claimed to know him from another life...

Ray was getting a bit angry herself at this point.
"I say that because she is mortal right now." She said through clenched teeth. "And dont even try to accuse me of having anything to do with it! Anyone could see she is... if she wasnt, you and I both know Mel would be on her own two feet kicking Jason's ass right now!"
Before anyone had a chance to reply Mel said,"Mortal? I-is.... does this have anything to d-do with ....choosing...T-tools?"
Ray looked at her in confusion. She then looked up at Jackson.
"Whats wrong? Is she delirious now or something?" Ray was getting more worried by the second. She subconsciously gripped the antidote in her pocket tighter. If things didnt look better anytime soon, she'd have to give it to her, regardless of the consequences.

---

Jason hung up his cell. Then he took the bow off his back, grabbed an arrow and tied a red cloth to it. He then shot the arrow at the highest tree he could see. His aim was perfect and the cloth unfolded and blew in the wind like a flag for all to see. It wouldnt be long until the vampires had their victory.

Jackson shrugged. "Maybe."

"Tools? What do you mean, Mel?" asked Jill.

Jackson's cell phone went off and after glancing down at the number he walked off without saying a word. Jill would have followed him but that would mean leaving Mel alone with Ray.

----

Out of earshot (from humans, vampires, and wolves alike), Jackson called the number back.

"Why didn't you pick up? I thought the wolves had gotten you," the voice on the other end said with a chuckle.

"...I felt that someone was listening," Jackson replied. By now he knew the art of dealing with his boss. Had he said the truth he might have gotten in serious trouble for compromising the mission.

"I heard about the fire. Are the captives with you?"

Jackson paused and then said, "No, sir. They got away. Sorry, sir." He was shocked at himself for lying. But he felt he had to. If he turned them in he might not see them again. They knew him and this was his chance to find out about his past. This was his chance to get out of this shady business.

"I see. Don't beat yourself up over it. We'll find them. Hopefully before those damned vampires."

Jackson was confused now. "Sir, don't you--we, work for--"

His boss sighed. "It would seem that they've had a change of plans and I don't like it. My informant says they want to eradicate the wolves now."

"What?! Why?!" Jackson was nearly shouting.

"...Why are you getting so upset? Did you get attached to those mutts up north?" his boss asked with a sarcastic tone.

"No, sir. I, uh. Well, I was wondering why it matters to you. I thought you were on their side," said Jackson, trying to regain composure.

"I'm on my own side. And I hate those fleabags as much as the next guy but I don't believe in mindless slaughter, either. Anyways, don't bring it up. As far as the vampires know, we're still with them, alright? Now track down those captives and bring 'em back, you hear?"

"Yes, sir," said Jackson right before the line went dead. He quickly made his way back, trying to make some sense of the mess he had gotten himself into.
----

Jackson's boss hung up the phone and leaned back in his chair. He was obviously frustrated with how the vampires were doing things now. "What a waste of lives. They make much better weapons," he thought as he turned over a microchip prototype in his hands.

"S-she was i-in...m-my dream and she said-" Mel started coughing a bit and blood appeared on her lips. At that point Ray knew she wouldnt survive.
"S-she said to-" mel tried again but Ray cut her off.
"Dont talk, save your energy. We need you in this." Tears started to show in the corners of her eyes.

Just as Ray was about to give in and take out the antidote, an arrow pierced through her right shoulder. She started to feel weak instantly and she knew what was on the arrow. The same thing that coated the bullets that went in to Mel a few days before.

With all her strength she managed to stay standing. The shouting of battle cries came from all around them. Then silence filled the air once again. They were playing mind games. Ray knew the vampires didnt have as many men as it sounded like. Their numbers had went down 50% since Mel and Jill left.

She pulled the antidote from her pocket. She looked at Mel then down at the bottle. She apeared to making the disition to take it herself or let Mel have it. She ran towards Mel and shoved Jill out of the way. She knelt down beside her and opened up the bottle.

She turned to look at Jill and said, "I'm sorry..." The sorry was for a lot of things but mostly it was for what she was about to do next.
Ray then turned back to Mel. She pulled the arrow out of her own shoulder and drank the contents of the bottle.

--------

Jason was shocked. he stood in the trees near by. He had been the one to shoot Ray in the arm. he wanted to see what would happen. He never expected Ray to chose her powers over Mel's life. He was more shocked at what happened next.

The vampires along with humans charged in the went pass Jill, Mel, Ray and even Jackson as if they werent even there. A huge inpact sound came a few seconds later. The wolves had some how orginized and were already there to defend the area. The sun had just fallen below the trees. There were now a mix of human, wolf and vampire solders everywhere.

He looked back to Ray and Mel.
Ray leaned in and kissed Mel on the lips transferring the antidote to her. It was the only thing she could think of to cure them both at the last second, with out Jason knowing.

Jason figured out what she was doing. "Kill her!!! NOW!!!!" he shouted. A sword found its way in to Rays back. She fell on top of Mel. Mel was in shock and her brain struggled to catch up, as everything was happening so fast. She didnt have time to contemplate as pain ripped through her entire body. First wings came, then her hands turned in to paws, her fampire fangs came and went. Then her hands turned back to hands. Her body was confused as to what to do.

'choose the right tool....' went through her head. And soon Mel's body finally made a decision.

(ooc: I couldnt get the imagery right exactly how I wanted... but a lot of this is happening at the same time... or with in a second if each thing. It is supposed to describe only like5-10 seconds... so I hope it turned out at the least 'ok')

(OOC: It's totally fine, I understood everything.)

Jill was in shock for a few seconds but her instincts quickly took over and told her to shift. Now in wolf form, she rushed at a couple of soldiers that were nearing Mel and slammed them to the ground. There was something very wrong with Mel but Jill didn't have any time to react or contemplate what had happened. Right now, survival was the priority. Survival of both her and Mel.

Jackson was shooting bullets everywhere, hitting basically anyone who got near him. "Shit, shit, shit!" he yelled, trying to make some sense out of the mess. The bullets in his gun were of a special variety and were supposed to affect wolves and vampires. He wasn't sure what they were made of, only that his boss said to use them in an emergency. As he was shooting, he pressed a button on his beeper that was meant to send a distress signal to his boss.

----

Jackson's boss frowned when he got the signal. "It would be such a pity to lose one of my best agents", he thought.

Then a sly smile crossed his face as he punched in some buttons on a device. "Well, it would be a good time to test it out..."

----

As his boss hit the last button, a strange sensation filled Jackson. He had this weird, burning energy--he had never felt anything like it. It felt like adrenaline and was completely overwhelming to the point of nausea. Falling to the ground, he felt what seemed to have been an electrical shock. Only, it was coming from inside him. As he tried to regain his senses, he noticed that his hands were covered in fur. Shocked, he began to choke as the fur spread over his whole body. Fear overtook him and everything went black.

----

Rusalki had been sent with her troop to help and arrived at the scene in the middle of the chaos. While directing her soldiers, she noticed a familiar scent in the air and turned around. There was Polevik, charging around like a lunatic and foaming from the mouth. She couldn't believe her eyes.

"POLEVIK?!"

Mel became uncontentious again because of the pain and soon found herself back in a lush green forest. Her appearance kept jumbling between three images. Only there was no physical feeling, it was like someone was changing the channel on a T.v. Her vampire form with its long silver hair, pale skin, dark eyes and large black bat like wings, to her gray and white fur coat, to her slightly tan complexion, shoulder length dark curly hair and bright blue eyes.

They said I had to marry him.

"It's time to chose."
Mel looked around for where the voice was coming from. She then looked down at her hands and watch them shift back and forth.
"This is what you meant. My forms... they are the tools your talking about?" Mel said looking up. Ray faded in to view. She looked a bit different, her red hair was longer and her skin seemed to glow.
"Yes." Mel Looked at her.
"Who are you?" She asked.
"It doesnt matter... My story has played a thousand times, and it will continue. Long ago, I put my heart and myself before my kind and my lover. I was foolish and it ended my people. There are only 3 of us left. We travel through life times to preserve ourselves, and to make sure our cousin species dont meet the same fate." Ray said. She got closer gently touched Mel's face.
"There are three blood lines with in you. Wolf and vampire." She continued.
"thats only two..." Mel pointed out.
"Vampires are human and bat. They walk the day time as human and the night as a bat." Ray said frowning as if it was obvious.
"You know enough... now you must chose. The strength of the wolf, the speed of the bat or the intellect of the human. Only one can accomplish this task. because of my mistake, a creature that shares all three must chose one."


--------

I couldnt so I ran.

Mel stood up. Her long black hair fell around her shoulders. She took a deep breath of
fresh night air. She smiled she never felt so alive before in her life. Energy filled
her veins. It felt like electricity.

--------

She was going to run away with me.

"No not until you explain more." Mel said annoyed. Did she really expect her to chose with out knowing the full story?
Ray sighed.
"Why did i think it was going to be that easy?" Ray laughed a bit and she looked like her self for a moment,
herself in reality. "Fine, i will tell you, but do not mention it to me in the waking time. I
have not yet learned of my true identity. I am ray, but I am her higher self."

It was countless decades ago.
--------

They discovered our plan to leave, so they eradicated the pard.

A human... or maybe a vampire, it didnt matter either way, she raised her leg up in to a side kick.
the man went flying in to a near by tree. Another came from behind her and she side stepped out of the way
grabbed his arm and threw him over her shoulder. She instantly grabbed a knife from her boot
and plunged it in to his chest. Two more came from her right, she stood and back handed on in the
temple. He instantly dropped to the ground. She then ducked the other one's punch, and went in to a leg sweep.

--------

Now that you know, choose.
Since love started it, I'll chose the same form as my true love.
Done.

(ooc: urg i just cant write anymore lol)

Jill dragged Mel's body to the side to keep her away from the main battle. "Please wake up soon," thought Jill, knowing that she'd only be able to protect Mel for so long. Jill stood a few feet away so as not to attract attention to where Mel lay.

-------

Rusalki ran over to the wolf she knew was Polevik. But it was strange, he didn't seem like he was aware of what was going on. She shouted again but was shocked when he turned around and charged toward her.

"What are you doing?!" she yelled, leaping out of the way. He didn't respond and attacked again.

"I don't want to fight you, Polevik! Can't you hear me?!" she said, knowing deep down that it was probably useless.

At that point a bullet was fired and hit Polevik in the side. He buckled and fell to the ground, shifting back to humanlike form. "The bullet must have made him transform..." thought Rusalki. She wanted to run over and help but she also had to be cautious. He didn't seem to recognize anyone.

Mel turned and saw Rusalki with Polevik and she ran over to them. She grabbed Rusalki by the arm.
"Be careful! Dont get hit by anything, not even blades, you got that? If you do you might as well be dead." She then let go and looked at Polevik.
"And you! Dont look at me like that, I dont care if you dont remember anything, your going to listen to me if you want to survive. Understand?"

-----

Ray slowly became conscious. She felt dizzy and nauseous. To on lookers she looked very pale. Her lips were void of color and her eyes looked droopy. She remembered what happened she had been run through with a sword. She wasnt sure if she was dieing or what. Everything felt strange and cold.
