Riddler!!!! Welcome back!!!!!! Ya so I think that after being pushed away by Piper a few times, Jay could start going after Elysia, and then after she pushes him away he could start dating Madi again. All the drama!!!! ;)

I'm watching a crow hop around on the grass right now. Its really amusing. And its raining and it keeps on shaking its feathers and its adorable. And its walking like a chicken. I think I've never seen a more adorable crow!!! :):p

~SJ

"SJ."

SJ stirred in her sleep,  in that place where your inbetween sleep and wake. Where everything is dark and your brain wont process anything. "SJ wake up." 

Wake up? Who was saying that? Where was she? "SJ...." 

She blinked open her eyes to see two large gem-blue eyes looking down at her. Who was that? Why was she in school? Did she get on a fight? Yes, but who was he? 

"SJ, wake up! We have to go to the science lab!"

She rubbed her eyes sleeply, and murmured, "Jay did I sleep through science again?"

He looked down at me with an amused expretion. "No, its 9:10 SJ. School ended 9 hours ago."

Suddenly the events of the day came rusheing back and I jumped to my feet much quicker then a normal person would. "9:10! We're going to be late!"

I pulled him up and we ran down the hall to the science room. I stopped shortly of the door and stopped Jay beside me with an outstreached arm. 

"I'll go first." Jay anounced stepping foward. Seeing the look of protest on my face he added, "and you can't do anything about it."

I puffed by bottom lip and sighed, crossing my arms angrly. Jay walked foward carfully, looked through the window, recoiled, looked again, sighed, and guestered me foward as he opend the door.

As he pushed through he grabbed onto my arm tightly. I wondered why, but not for long. As I caught sight of who was in the room, I desperately pushed for the door, but Jay had me tight. He pulled me foward and sat me down at the edge of the room and glared towards his ex. Madi. 

There was two others in the room, a boy and a girl. They looked like siblings, the boy guarding the girl like a protective wild cat. She caught sights of shadows in the corners of the room that looked like cats waiting the pounce in the shadows. 

The door opened and another boy walked in. It took a while before I reconized him. It was nerdy Kyle from class, the one I had a crush on. So much had happened today that I had completely forgoten abput him.

But he wasn't quite so nurdy anymore. His glasses were gone, and my cat sences picked up the blue lines of contacts on his eyes. He walked over to.....to Madi. She smiled at him and gave him a hug. 

Oh no. So maybe she did know my crush too.

Madi looked around the room. "I thought there were more of you? I kbow I gave out more notes then, five."

She glanced towards the wall, and an evilish grin spread on her face. "Well, lets begin. Starting with," she darted to the wall with unhuman speed, snatched something up, and held it up for all to see. It was a very familiar white hambster with long, shaggy fur. "You." 

The hambster struggled in her grip, twisting and clawing at her fingers. "Look at this scar you gave me, Piper. Look at it. You need to pay." The white animal stopped squirming for a second, snarling into Madi's face. "You would make a nice snack...."

Something snapped inside. She wouldn't do something like that. No one would. She was the real monster. And she needed a lesson.

~Jay

I watch in fear as Madi draws the small hambster to her mouth, smiling at the wave of fear even Jay could smell from all the way on the other side of the room. 

Something snapped inside of him. Who would do such a thing? She needed to be stopped. And now.

He felt his face go hot. He saw beside him SJ start to shake, holding her head as she crouched down.

He held out his hands, watching them grow and narrow into soft paws. He released his silver claws, and landed onto all fours. He waisted no time, bounding foward and pouncing onto Madi in a heartbeat. 

Her form started to waver underneath his paws, and he was taken aback when she pushed him off with strong haunches. 

He flew across the room, landing painfully in the corner.

~SJ

Jay landed in the corner, his strong black panther form scrunched against the wall. She was already half way to Madi when this happened, and saw when something strange starting happening to her form. 

SJ launched herself onto Madi, growling fercly. Her attack was matched with strong jaws closing around her front leg and haunches pushing her over. 

She landed painfully on her back, and Madi stepped over her with a wicked grin. She dropped SJ's leg with a laugh, and put one dagger sharp paw on her neck.

Of course. She was a shapeshifter too. And her animals form was a King cheetah. Of course. 

The animal that was strong enough to beat two cats at once, and look pretty while doing so.

(Look up king cheetahs, you'll get why I chose this for Madi) 

hi guys, can i join? i could be an exchange student...

NAME: natasha, but i go by Tash

AGE: 15

ANIMAL: white linx 

PERSONALITY: like a cat, is usually nice enough but can flip out at a moments notice

APPEARANCE: thin and tall with blue eyes and white blonde hair.

i walk down the street looking at the map in my hands. the school i would be starting at was right ahead. i walk in through the gate but i stop and listen. from inside one of the windows of some cats yowling and screeching. shifting into a linx, i slowly stalk up to the window...

is this ok?   

I love all the ideas, but please try and remember Tommy and Holly are only 11 years old. 

Holly~~~

I stare around, everything is happening so fast! Madi sent the letters? What is she going to do to the hamster, and ARE THOSE CATS?! I sundly feel myself shrinking, faster and faster, feathers sprouting up, and sunndly I was an owl again. I fly up and shreech, there isn't a lot of room to move around. I fly towards the king cheetah, talons outstreached. Sunndly the king cheetah whips around, her paw up, I am going to fast! I can't stop... Then her eyes flicker, a brown cat is clawing at her long legs, it's Tommy! I land on her head, my sharp talons digging into her head. She stops, the panther is getting up, she know's she outnumbered... She then shakes me off, and in one powerful jump leaps out of the window, racing away.

Tommy~~~

I look around for the hamster, after the cheetah runs away. My cats may trie and eat it. I meow.

"Bramble I am here." Flame mews.

Good. Juniper, Jay, Moss, and Flower all come up from where they were hiding.

"If you see a white hamster, don't eat it. Also, can you follow that cheetah. I will find you after I get things cleared up here. Flame, you are in charge." I growl. 

"OK, we will go now." Flame purrs.

I watch as my cats run off, then I change back into a boy. 

"So, if we want we can follow that cheetah, or we can wait and entroduce ourselves first." I say. 

Yes anyone can join! ;)

~SJ

I slowly get up, shaking my head. What happened? I see five, or more cats jump out the window after a rushing golden blur. Someone says something, but all I catch is the ".......never mind." As I rush out the window.

My claws catch on unwanted leaf debres and dead grass as I sprung after Madi. Her body was made for running, while mine was not. I stopped shortly in a clearing, painting. I think I may have taken a wronge turn awhile back, the sent that I could barley smell in the first place was gone. 

My head spun as I leaned foward. I shook it when I realized a fresh new smell had traced across my nostrils. The one I was tracking. 

I lifted my head slowly and pricked my ears, slowly looking around.

Then there was a rush of air,

And I hissed, jaws parted and claws outstretched, ready to fight back at impact. I rolled with Madi across the valley, hissing and clawing and spitting at each other. Though I was bigger and burley then her, she was more agile and we made an even match.

Buy one wronge move landed me in a wronge position, one that she could easily pin me in. I glared into her Amber eyes, anger seething up inside of me as her teeth parted. "If your going to kill me, do it already." 

"Oh I have a way better punishment for you."

And then she was gone, running back through the trees to the school. I scrambled to my feet, looking after her in a puzzled head tilt. This was a trap? But how? 

Then something needle Sharp priced my side. I gasped and turned, they were everywhere. Men with loaded guns slowly walking towards me. Except, no they were tranquilizer guns. Oh no.

I turned and ran, leaping for a branch in a near by tree. But the tranquil was already get to me and I missed, landing with a crunching noise in the dirt. More needle Sharp tranquilizers priced my side and I was lifted. 

My gaze was hazzy and my brain refused to think straight as they carried me to a large truck, with a big meat me cage. I blinked, and they were shutting the doors with a loud clang. I heard distant voices, and all was dark. 

~Jay

I woke with an awful headache and backache. I don't think I blacked out long, but long enough for Madi to leave. Or escape. I slowly scrambled to a sitting position, my head throbbing with every move. It wasn't quite a concution, I knew what that felt like. It was just an exemplifying headache. 

As I watched a king cheeta sprang through the window and circled down to sit in the middle of everyone. SJ was gone. "I think we got off on the wronge.....paw here. Why don't we say we start over? I'm not really a bad guy, you know. Sometimes good people just do bad things." Her eyes darted to Jay. "Maybe my rage got the most of me. Maybe I tried to give the poor hamster a scar for a scar, and eye for an eye. So, why I called you all here today was......" 

You guys continue I have to go!!!!!!!!! Sorry it's not that detailed and very sloppy, Its not my best work I'm just extremely tired right now. :)

Ya of course! Just one thing though, I'm a jaguir not a panther. ;)

also sorry this is so short I barely have any time.... 

~SJ

I wake and everything is blurry. It takes a moment for my eyes to clear when I realized I'm in a tight, crapmed cage in a small dizzingly white room. Fear engulfs me as ideas of where I am spring into my head.

No. I can't be scared. If Im scared, I turn back. I mist stay angry. Inraged. At those humans. At Madi. At Kyle. At Piper. At myself, for being a shapeshifter all this time. I am not scared. I can't possibly feel scared. I cant become scared. 

No matter what they do to me.  

Awa guys! We can't let this thread die!!!! (This is my favorit thread on Inkwell ;) 

~SJ

I open my teal green eyes and shake my head, glaring around the room. A human waits by the door, pacing, waiting for me to realize he was there. I caught sight of a leather wip hainging from his pocket and a gun in his hand. How stupid did he think I was? I wasn't planing to get shot today. 

I slowly backed up and rammed into the cage door. It made a clattering sound as the door bounced off the lock. I hissed and roared, loud and bone chilling. I clawed the cage and bit it, wincing as my tooth cracked. Or made a cracking sound.

A gun shot and I pulled away, growling deep in my throat as the man approached, wip in hand. 

"This is no zoo, cat." He growled, almsot cat like, as if I would understand him, as if he knew I wouldn't understand, as if just to get it out of his mouth. "They think you escaped from our, "zoo" but we haven't had any jaguars for mounths, years. They're extreamly rare you know." 

I thought I knew where this was going. So I backed up, fur brushing against the back of the cage as my claws gripped the meatle and left punctur holes. My growl was content and deep, a low never ending note. My anger still boiled inside, hiding all fear and worry. 

"We know that you must've ran away from an owner. A secret animal being kept illegally. So now I'm going to train you, make you obay my every comand, you will see me as alpha, as your leader. You will fear me." 

He wipped me, right across my eye. I hissed, blinking blood from my eye as he aprotched, gun in one hand, one finger resting on the trigger, and the wip raised in the other, a wicked grin on his face.

Hi everyone, very sorry I couldn't post earlier on - my mom got suddenly super strict about not going on my computer (except for homework) from Monday - Thursday so yeah.

Urgh so much happened...

Elysia ~

I was sitting under the window outside the science room on the grass when suddenly there were growls and snarls and crashes. I leap to my feet and try to see what's happening, but the window is one of those small ones that I couldn't reach. I'm just about to go around to the front and see what's going on when a cheetah crashes through the window and lands right infront of me, SJ in hot pursuit.

I shift into fox form and race after them, panting. Who was the cheetah? Then suddenly I realize - Madi. She sent the notes. I snarl and reach a clearing when suddenly 50 men with tranquilizer guns barge through and aim them at SJ, blocking my way. I try to see what's happening, but they block my view. When they part, SJ is gone, and the tip of Madi's tail has just disappeared.

I race as fast as I can back to the school and go in the normal entrance. Summoning my courage, I step into the room and ask to Madi, "What did you do to SJ?" 

I see the large king cheetah stalking slowly through the forest chuckling to herself about a jaguar, I cackle under my breath, I load the pink hair dye into my bazooka (named Phil) then I prepare the balloons of itchy death (pink itching powder bombs) and then while singing one of my favorite tunes, I grab a birthday hat with my little pony on it. I set up the trap around a tree, if the cheetah goes anywhere near here... BAM!!! I then take aim with the bazooka and wait. Sure enough, here comes  Mandi. The birthday hat trap springs into action, then I fire the bazooka and throw the balloons of itchy death. I then hop off through the trees leaving behind a hot pink itchy cheetah wearing a my little pony party hat. Muahahahahahahaha Muahahahahahahaha Muahahahahahahaha  

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Ya thats not happening. Funny though. 

~Jay

"Why I called you all here today was....." 

She was interrupted by a low, menicencing growl. "What did you do to SJ."

I turned, and saw this beautiful red fox, with shimmering eyes. She snarled at me and I looked away. She clearly saw that I was checking her out.

"Who me?" Madi snarled, getting up. She slowly walled around the small fox, like a wolf circling a foe about to pounce. "I gave her what she came here for."

Jay's fur bristled, as he slowly slank foward. His snout crumpled into a snarle, and his claws left punchers in the floor. "And what exactly is that?" Madi turned and found herself looking squarely into Jay's blue eyes.

She jumped, and took a few steps back before answering cooly, "I gave her an eye for an eye. She got what she gave me all those years ago."

"Where. Is. She." I growled, taking a few more steps foward. She didn't budge, instead leaning into her front paws with bared teeth.

"Where she belongs." 

~SJ

The man stands by the cage door, his hands covered in blood. My blood. The awful whip is no longer brown, but a bright red. I lay on my side, painting, as he looks me over. "You don't crack so easily, do you?" He growles. "Well, I know someone who will train you or kill you. Don't move." He chuckled. "Like you even can." 

The door opened for a breaf second before slaming shut. I slowly rose to my feet, blood porring from multiple wounds. My gaze was clouded from all the blood and I shook my head to clear them.

And thats when I saw the curious lynx emerge from the shadows.

"I'm going to get you out of here." He whispered, jumping to the cage.

"Do-do I know you?" I stammered.

"No. But I know you." I shook my head. "Well, I dont really know you. I guess I've just seen you in the hallways at school and stuff."

I blinked at him. "Another shapeshifter. I wonder how many we actually have."

There was a click and the lock fell clean off of the cage. Falling with a clatter to the floor. The cage door swonge open and the lynx leaped of the cage. "Common. Hurry." 

With a steady leap I landed awkwardly on the floor. I took a deep breath and ran fowards, streight to the door. 

Wood exploded in all directions and there were a few alarmed yells from around them, but SJ kept moving foward, not looking back. 

She could feal the lynx painting at her side as they ran away from the white building and to the gate. Something moved in the bushes and a large bulky human jumped out with a gun.

"This way!" The lynx shouted, turning into a dirt path. The man shot the gun and it hit the dirt by one of SJ's paws. She leaped away from the dirt shooting up from the ground and pealted after the lynx. More gun shots sounded and she felt one brush past the fur by her ear.

Finally the path stopped and forest sourounded them on all sides. SJ could hear the men and cars and trucks in pursuit. SJ leaped into the forest, the lynx glancing back one last time before following her.

~Jay

"Now little kitty, if you dont mind what I have to say is way more important then your girlfriend." Madi circled away from the snarling cat and fox and went to settle down in the middle of the room. 

"Why I summoned you all here today was becuase there is something threatening our school. Something big. We are only the first, becauase we have the most shapeshifters in this small town then all of the contrys combined. 

Something big is comming to take all of us. Harness our power. And rule the worl with it. We are the only thing that stands between them.

And world domination." 

Sorry its short. not much time :)

I look up at my brand new middle school. Just fantastic. I rack my brain. This will be my fourth, no, fifth school in the last two years.  Figures. I tug on my messy, brown braid. Wisps of hair come loose from it, and I blow my bangs out of my eyes. I glance around, making sure there's no one around. I step behind a tree and let myself shrink down until I'm only five inches tall. My skin tingles as fur shoots up through my skin. My entire face goes numb as it flattens and my nose elongates. I wriggle my tail, mapping my path to a open window. Scurrying to the window, I thank God for my tininess, something that must of suprised Him. Usually, I'd curse my minute size, but it comes in handy during occasions that require it. Although I'd love to be a wild cat, my pygmy marmoset form can be fun. I climb through the window and set to exploring the school. Because it was the middle of the year, the halls were busy, but I wouldn't be starting for another week. I peeked in classrooms and amused myself by watching students from a hidden corner, atop a locker. Listening in on conversations, I attempted to learn anything I could.
