*kicks down the door*

I HEARD YOU WERE TRYING TO REPLACE ME.

* flips hair *

~Iridessa

The cafeteria for the Imperia is amazing–statues everywhere, a greek/steampunk/every elegant style ever, just like the rest of the building. Suddenly, a girl runs up to me. "Oh! Are you General's daughter?!" She says excitedly.

I look her over. She appears to be a child in training…. A red bandanna is wrapped around her hair, which is frizzy, all over the place, and bright, liquid essence of pink. I notice that she has cat ears–they look to be from a headband, but they're so gray and real cat looking–sticking from her hair. 

"The—General?" I ask slowly. "Well, they say her real last name is SUMMERTOWN!" The girl says dramatically. "Summers." I instantly correct. "Yeah, she's my mother."

The girl beams and claps her hands together. "Yay! Come with me!" The girl says happily.

As she leads me away from the group, I have no idea what type of a trap I'm walking into. 

😀 😀 😀 ICY U DIDNT ABANDON US! *throws confete* *fireworks go off* 

~Jay

I pace as they lead us into the 'lunchroom'. The food smells welcoming…but at the same time…"Uck! What is that smell?" Someone whispers and I look over at Tash, the voice of the complaint.

"I don't know, but I hope we're not  going to eat it…"

"Here are the new recrutes! The phrophosized!" The man who trained Shadow, Madi, and Iridessa, also probably a family member of Shadow, anounced to the smaller children gathered around a lunch table much like a schools lunch table.

They squeeled in awa, and I saw one of them grab Iridessa and usher her off down a dark hallway. I tried to go after, but I got lost in the choas as they all pushed us over to the lunch table. Still in my panther form, I sat, next to a small girl who was breathing down my neck. "Woh, never seen one like this before." The girl whispered, poking my silvery spots. I glanced at her uneasily, shifting on my seat a little to get farther away. 

I caught Madi looking at me with an amused expretion. I glanced at the girl and rolled my eyes. "Can you talk?" The girl questioned more, poking my jaws. "Are you mad. Am I bothering you?" She opened my lips, revealing sharp and long teeth. "Woh…" SHe poked one and I snorted threateningly. 

SHe laughed, not disscouraged at all. "Do you want to see my anaimal?" She asked, poking my nose.

ANd that was the last straw. I turned to face her and roared, loud enough for everyone to stop and stare. I finished and looked at her with a challenging smile, as she stared back at me. 

Then she sat up and roared back, louder and longer. When I blinked open my eyes again I saw a mean-looking polar bear with a gaunting smile reflecting the one I had. My moth dropped open as I stared at her.

All of the little kids started laughing and I snorted before leaping off the stool and strolling out the way we came. "Stupid kid." I mummbled, walking with my head down. "Thinks she can out smart me." I growled, then I sighed and looked up.

I was facing a merrior over a water fountain, and I lept up and pushed the button with my back paw to take a drink.

WHen I looked back up my reflection wasn't mine. It was SJ's. "SJ, I whispered, touching my paw to the merrior. Then I turned, and found the jagure facing me.  

I thought I was dreaming. SJ had come back! "SJ!" I roared excitedly. The jagur looked at me like I was crazy. Then the eyes and the pelt processed, and I realized I was facing the leader of the Impuria. "Oh, I'm sorry Miss. I thought you were someone else." 

She looked at me more intentily, as I jumped down from the water fountain and she jumped up to take a drink. "Who might that be?" She asked, leaping back down. The jagure towered above me, and I shook my head.

"A school friend. She…she's a Vanger." Cynthia gasped.

"A Vanger! Is she a Dark also? Who is she working for?"

I shyed away from the questions. I didnt want them going after SJ, even if she did chang sides. "No. She's just…corupted, I guess." I didn't mention that she was in the DarkVanger's grasp.

Cythia sighed. "Well come on then. Back to the lunch room."

"Wait, one more thing." I started, and she paused from walking back. "Princible Summers mentioned that she was a reverse shapeshifter, and thats probably why she went mad and corrupted into a Vanger. We only just realized she was a Vanger when she and-" I cut myself off, not wanting to give away that she works for Vanger now.

"She said that about reverse shapeshifters?" Cynthia growled. "No, that can be the cause, but it probably wasn't. I should know, because I'm a reverse shapeshifter also."

~SJ

I wake up in a small, dark cage. I shake my head and emidiatly jump to my feet. The dissyness and sleepyness blink from my eyes as I look around and prosses what just happened. "LET ME OUT!" I roared, ramming my head into the metal bars. "YOU WORTHLESS LOW MINDED CREATURES!"

Suddenly a shadow emerged from the darkness. It looked like a panther. Could it be…? "Jay?" I whispered hopefully.

But the hulking shape grew and twisted to tower much higher then jay, and the spots along its flank were red, not silver. I stood my ground, staring into the beasts red eyes. I growled as he came closer and managed to roar, "Who are you?!" In a demanding and athoritive voice. 

The panther chuckled, starting to circled my cage. I watched him with an even glare. "I'm here to brake you in. It doesn't matter who I am, and it won't once your broken."

"I'll brake you first." I growled. "I'm not like your normal prisoner. It'll take a lot to succsesfully brake me in." 

"We already broke you in once, so we can do it again." He said menicaningly. "Besides, I would expect this much from a phrophotized." 

~Shadow

It reminded me like a large group of dogs. They get super excited, crowd around, and start talking like crazy at first, but then calm down. There were three kids pulling at me to their table, one pushing from the back, the other two in the front pulling my sleeves. Jay was roaring at this one who suddenly became a polar bear. Geez. The two kids who were pulling me quickly took the two seats beside me, and the one who was pushing sat beside one of them.

"So, what's your animal?" one asks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

anyone can be these two if they want if they are new 

toptoptoptoptop!

Zen, I answered your question underneather your question if you didn't see it. And Im really sorry, school started up again today…

SMACK WHAM! Tries to push this thread to the first page top at least, but it isn't budging… UGH! SMACK MACK DIS THREAD! DONT DIE! PLZ I HAVE FAITH IN ALL OF U

Sorry sorry sorry I was away for break and forgot to tell you guys. I have a really cool idea for Elysia. I wrote it a few days ago but my computer turned off for no reason and deleted it, and then I had to do homework.

Elysia~ 

I drop to the ground, panting, after a hard training session. For some reason I have been doing really badly on the fighitng practice, even though I've been fighting all my life. And still, my mythical creature has not yet been revealed – if I even have one. I walk off to lunch, frustrated, and then eat quickly, finishing before anyone else does. When I'm done, I look around. Something seems to draw me back to the training room, though I don't know what. Ignoring the polar bear and leopard in the background roaring at each other on the other side of the room, I round the corner back into the training room and gasp.

Four of the practice dummys had somehow come to life and had backed a little girl into the corner, surrounding her. They could only move if someone were controlling them, but I didn't have time to think about that. Though they were only practice dummies, they were meant for fighting, and were extremely capable of hurting somebody. I shift quietly into fox form and leap onto one, trying to draw it away. All of the sudden I'm using moves that I would never have thought possible for a fox. I fight like I never had before, in I way I could never explain. In a minute, the dummies are defeated, and the girl bursts into tears. She runs away before I can comfort her.

I shift back into a human shakily and turn, to find myself facing a strange dark man. I narrow my eyes, instantly on the alert.

"Well, well, well," he says. "I thought it was you… kitsune."

I scowl at him. "What do you mean?"

"You're the one who fought against us, the DarkVangars, all those years ago. You're the very reason we're outlawed."

"I don't know what you're talking about," I say, starting to get a little freaked out.

He smiles crookedly. "Oh I'll show you what I mean."

The strange man's eyes begin to glow white, and he starts up a chant. I step back from him, now getting a little scared, but I feel myself lifted up into the air. Something twitches in my memory, and, like a crack in a dam, opens up into a flood. My eyes widen in pain – it feels like my heart is being raked with claws, like something inside trying to get out. I slowly turn around in the air, blinding white light seeping out from every corner of the world. Finally my feet touch back to the ground. I remember. I am no longer Elysia. Elysia was a 15 year old girl fox shapeshifter who spent all her life trying to hide the fact. I am not Elysia anymore.

"Welcome back, Iso'rik."

~~~

So, basically, when I was trying to think of a mythical creature for Elysia, I looked up fox-related mythical creatures, and found the kitsune. When a kitsune gets past 100 years old (which is not that old for them) they can shapeshift. I was thinking that Elysia was actually a kitsune who helped stop a war with the DarkVangars many years ago, but maybe was captured and had her memory wiped for a certain amount of time so that she thought she was just a normal human with no memory of what happened before. Please tell me if this is ok, I think it will be really cool.

TOP! I need one of the newbies to join in or I'll dare make some new NPCs to keep track of!
