Hello!!! I am Moonlight and I would love you to join! How to add you? how to add you? OH! Got it!
~Moonlight
Dae-Jung bends down and takes off my leash. I thank him and he looks at me like I had two heads or somthing.
"Oh yea.." I say "BIG."
"Ah" he replies.
He turns back to his friends and begins to say stuff. It basically sounds like giberish to me. I get up to stretch my legs and walk around. Kimiko and Machali are very tired and don't look so well.
"You guys stay." I say "I'm just walking around the camp."
"Fine." Kimiko says "Just don't wander off."
"You know I won't."
I walk out and looks like it isn't just us here. There are many other house things and people. I notice that there is another panther.
I walk up to them. "Hi!" I say.
They look at me and I realize that I need to speak panther again.
"HI?" They ask back
"Sorry, BIG did that one to me."
"BIG? Wow."
"I'm Moolight." I say
"Aliaza Shadowstalker" She says
"Why are you here?" I ask
"I'd rather not talk about it." She says suddenly and I get the feeling of hospitality.
"Alright then I'll get out of your fur." i say and head back to our cabin house thing.
I start walking back and hear a whoosh. I turn around to see a golden eagle with black feathers in the place of Aliaza. I run back to the cabin now and can't wait to tell Kimiko and Machali what happened.
~~~~~
So uhh guys I am really busy with some things and will not have a lot of time to RP so just want you to know and please use Moonlight while I am gone and I hopeffully will be back next week so just letting you know!!!

"Whoa, slow down, Moonlight!" Machali says. Moonlight has been telling us about a panther she met.
" her name was Aliaza shadowstalker! When I turned around, there was this batch golden eagle in her place though! It was so weird! " Moonlight says, still talking pretty fast.
"Maybe she's a shapeshifter, " I say quietly.
"You think so?" Machali asks. I nod.
Dae-Jung comes back in to give us some food. There is maple peanut butter and toast for Machali and I, while for Moonlight there is some fish. We eat greedily, having been without food for quite some time now.
Later, when it is dark, Machali and Moonlight fall asleep. I dont.
I walk outside and look around. In the center of the camp is a large fireplace with some flames flickering in it.
I sit down next to the fire.
When I wake up Dae-Jung is there. "You fell asleep by the fire," He explains when he sees my confused face. Embarrassed , I stand up and in front of me is a panthee. But it isn't Moonlight.
It must be Aliaza.
~~~

Hee hee hee. I'm so exited!!!!
Aliaza~~~~
I stare at the girl who fel asleep by the fire. She reminds me of someone…
Burning flames, screams, an army marching.
I shy away from the memory. Whoever she reminds me of is buried to deep into the past. I shudder, and then change form. I feel the fur sliding in and my mouth changing shape, soon I'm just a girl again. I stare at the girl, she looks at me shocked. Then I promply lean over and throw up.
I new I shouldn't of eaten that rabbit!
"I'm hungry!" I gasp, "Do you have anything to eat?"
The girl stares at me then hands me some bread. I grab it and gobble it up.
"Uhh. Who are you?" She asks.
"Hmm. Yes lovely. I like this bread." I murmer.
"Exuse me, but who are you?" She asks once more.
"Do you mean who I am? Cause I don't know. If you want my name it's Aliaza Shadowstalker." I say.
"That's nice… I'm Kimiko." Kimiko says.
"Cool cool. Do you know where I am. I've been flying for DAYS now and I still can't figure out where I am." I sigh.
"Uhh." She says.
"You know what! Never mind! I'll firgure it out later. He." I chuckle.
"Are you OK?" Kimiko asks.
"Hmm. OK. Don't know. If I've ever been OK. What's OK anyway?" I say.
"I mean are you feeling well?" Kimiko changes tatic.
"I'm…" I break off.
A kind face looks down at me. Her blue eyes krinkle with laughter and her soft brown hair tickles my nose.
"Aliaza! Are you OK?" She asks.
"I guese so…"
I look up at the girl… Kimiko! That's it. Not Izzie. No Izzie's dead. I feel tears well up in my eyes. Apruptly I morph into my panther and run, wanting to get away from the pain, the sadness, the horror of my past. I can hear Kimiko's shocked cry and I hope she doesn't follow me into the dark deep woods.

~Moonlight
I fall asleep the fastest out of all of us. Sdly I am not a sound sleeper and hear Kimiko get up and go outsude. After a while I doze off again and then wake up to Kimiko gasp abd run inside.
"What is it?" I ask her.
"I saw her, Aliaza." She replied.
Machali is still snoring on his bed.
"What happened?" I ask
"She talked to me and was acting really weird. SHe was a human though! Then she became a panther like you and ran away."
"She is a shape shifter then." Pani says as she front flips out of the sword.
"Really?" I ask "How many things can she turn into?"
"At the moment three if you two are talking about the same people." Pani replies.
"Well that is odd." Kimiko remarks.
"What's odd?" A voice says sounding suspiciously framiliar.
"Aliaza?" I ask tenitivly.
"What do you want?" She asks and then a bird flies in through the window and turns into a panther when it touches the ground.
She reminds me of SeaStar. Aliaza is looking at Kimiko intently like she knows her or somthing like that. Pani keeps staring at Aliaza and then we are all inturupted by a snore from Machali.
"Well as I was saying, What's odd?"
"How you vcan shapeshift into three different things!" Kimiko blurts out.
We look at her Aliaza included and Kimiko looks embarressed.
"Into three things?" Aliaza asks "You're wrong!"
"wrong?" Pani asks.
"Yes I can turn into four aniamls!"
"Four?" i ask
"Yes four! Are you guys deaf?"
"No!" Kimiko yells.
"Looj just don't look for me." Aliaza says "Please just don't."
She turns and walks out. Once she is out she rund into another house. We look at eachother. Kimiko shrugs Pani goes back into the sword and I go back to bed for another nap.

Aliaza~~~
I sit on the ground, trying to calm my churning thoughs. I need to leave. That's my rule always move forwards. Don't stay in one place to long. Or the memories will catch up. I get to my feet, about to continue on my random path… but I hesate. These people, they seem to stick to me like glue. I want to stay and watch them. Expessily that Kimiko. I growl softly, then stomp back to the little camp. I shift into a panther and lay down, watching the sunrise. I soon fall asleep.
Running, pounding footsteps. Smoke fills the air. Screaming people and the clanging of metal. I look out, a sea of burning bodies fills my view. I step back, musles tense, and run. I look back, trying to find my family. But it's too late for them. They're dead… and I'm all alone. Smoke fills the air and I'm falling….falling….falling.
I wake up with sundenly. My throat's sore from screaming. I wander around camp, wondering what to do. The problem with staying still is that you get bored. Really easily.
-
Machali ~
I wake up to somebody screaming.
"Who is that?" I ask.
"Don't ask me, " Kimiko says. Moonlight has just woken up.
"Is somebody's screaming?"
" Yeah, " I say.
"Maybe…maybe it's Aliaza." Kimiko says.
" Who? " I ask. Moonlight tells me about aliaza.
"Let me handle this," I say, and walk outside.
I run into somebody.
"Ah, sorry!" II say.
"You're welcome," They mutter , "I'm Aliaza. You?"
" Machali, " I reply.
~~~

Aliaza~~~
I run into a boy that looks like a fish. I'm not pleased. I'm still shaky from the nightmare.
"Are you OK?" He asks.
I look at him, everything's turning dizy. I shake my head, and throw up.
"Oops." I say.
Machali looks at me, then down to his feet where the contents of my stomach landed.
"Gross." He says.
"But! I'm feeling better now!" I grin, I slap Machali on the back and wander off, "Great talk!"
-
-
Kimiko ~
I find Machali by the stream running through the edge of the camp, just behind our cabin.
"How did it go?" I ask, sitting down beside him.
" perfectly fine, if you call having someone throw up in front of you is lovely, " Machali says sourly. I sigh. "Aliaza is a little strange," I admit.
" more than a little, " Machali remarks. A few minutes pass by in silence.
~~~
Sorry for the short post, I was out of ideas.
-
-
It's OK! I know how no idea posts go. I'll do somthing to spice things up.
Aliaza~~~
I walk around the clearing, looking around for somthing. Darkness crowds at the edge of my vison. It's the daymares, the nightmares, I've stayed here too long. They're catching up to me. I perk my ears, is that water? I follow the sound of water and find Machali and Kimiko talking at the edge of a river. I walk towards them. I smile, and creep up onto them.
"BOOOOO!" I shout, grabbing their shoulders.
I'm met with a flurry of screams, yells, and then silence as they see who grabbed them.
"Aliaza!" Kimiko exclaims, "You scared us!"
"I know! Isn't it great. My sister……….." I say, before breaking off. I don't want to talk about my sister.
They look at me strangely waiting for me to continue talking, but I fall into silence. Then, the nightmares stalking me, catch up.
I'm surrounded my fire and flames. The yelling of my family is all around me.
"Help us! Aliaza! Please help us!"
I look around, lost where are they?!
"Where are you!?" I yell into the flames.
The flames spread, my family has fallen silent. I'm getting burned by the flames and I want to get away… away from the terror.
I scream as I feel myself going into 'panicked morphing' Feathers pop out, but a panther tail comes out as well. I'm shrinking and growing, and I can feel my hands turning into flippers. I'm turning into a mutant bird-panther-seal as I try and get away. I'm surrounded in pain, I can hear Machali and Kimiko yelling fright, as I fall down.
"What's going on?!?!?!" They scream.
I can't answer, I'm falling down….down….down…..into the soft real blackness of sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How about that for some action! Poor Aliaza, she's splinched herself. Don't worry, she'll be fine. This has happened a lot. 😉
-
Kimiko ~
Machali and I manage to carry Aliaza into our cabin. I think she's sleeping, but she's screaming, and in this truly freaky mishmashed form.
Moonlights eyes widen when she sees Aliaza.
"Oh my Claaws, what happened?" Moonlight asks.
'"I don't know. She just started screaming, turned into this, and then…I don't even know what! " Machali said, panic rising in his voice.
We lay her down on my bed. I try to shake her awake, and it doesn't work. I'm debating whether getting Dae-jung or not when she finally awakens.
Aliaza slowly shifts into a human again.
"What happened?" I ask immediately . She shrugs.
"Wait. Isn't this your cabin?" Aliaza asks .
"Well, did you just want to lie in the snow?" Moonlight snaps.
"Oh." Aliaza glances at me again . It's creepy how she keeps watching me… And me alone.
"Well, are you alright?" Machali asks.
"Id say yes."
I sigh in relief.
~~~

Aliaza~~~
I yawn and strech and hop out of the bed.
"Are you sure you're all right? Maybe you shouldn't be moving around so much…" Kimiko says.
"Naw! I'm fine. Really, I just splinched myself. It happens to the best of us." I say.
"Uh.. splinching?" Machali asks.
"Somtimes when a shapeshifter panics we change form quickly. It gets mixed up so, the blob thing happens. I'm fine now!" I say.
"Why were you panicking? It was perfectly safe at the river." Kimiko asks.
"It's not important." I snap.
I brush past them into the snow, I sigh and breath in the crisp air. A memory bubles up.
"See, it's fine. Just snow!" I gigle, leading a small boy out.
"Aliaza… are you sure?" He asks.
"Of course! It scared me the first time to, but I promise you it's perfectly safe." I say.
"Oh.. OK." He says.
"Aliaza?" A different vioce, Moonlight's.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Kimiko asks.
"What do you mean?" I stammer.
"Well… the screaming, what happened by the river, and the nightmares." Kimiko says, "Sometimes it's good to talk about it."
I shake my head, talking about it makes it worse… better to forget than remember.
"I can't." I say.
I look at them and morph into my golden eagle. I fly up into the sky, watching them shrink below me as I rise higher and higher into the cloudy sky.
-
Kimiko ~
I sigh, as Aliaza lifts into the sky on her feathery wings.
"Is she really going to be alright?" Machali asks me. I shrugshrug, before standing up and wandering away, into the nearby woods. Nobody stops me.
I find myself in a large sturdy tree, sitting on a strong branch, silent. Just listening to birds and the wind howling and watching the squirrels and the trees sway.
Peace. That's what I'm feeling.
Even at a time like this, I'm feeling peaceful. Scarcely a thought will pass through my mind. I don't know exactly how long I sat there. Long enough for Aliaza to calm down, I suppose.
She lands on a tree branch not too far, morphs back into a human. We sit in silence, together for a little bit longer.
"You're a traveler, aren't you?" Aliaza asks . I don't question how she knew, just nod. She likely figured it out from the clothes I'm wearing.
"I've always liked traveling," Aliaza murmurs.
" So have I, " I reply, just as quiet.
More silence.
~~~

Aliaza~~~
I settle down on the branch next to Kimiko and morph into a human.
"You're a traveler aren't you?" I ask.
Kimiko nods.
"I've always liked traveling." I murmur.
"So have I." Kimiko says.
I look at her then at my toes. Kimiko's travleing for the adventure the thrill of seeing new places, while I travel for fear, just to get away. I've always run from things, my home, the city, and my past. I'm always running away, unlike Kimiko who runs towards things. Now in the shade of the forest and I'm feeling peaceful for the first time, I'm ready to talk.
"I had a sister." I say.
Kimiko looks up but lets me talk.
"She was older than me by four years, but we were as close as you can get. She looked a lot like you. One day Catastrophe struck, our village got burned down. Only I survived." I say.
"I'm so sorry!" Kimiko says.
"That's not all, I'm being stalked by the ghosts of the past. I can't get away. What happened at the river, that was a nightmare. They drag me down and I can't get out. So that's why I travle I'm running but I can't ever get away." I say.
-
Kimiko ~
A voice startles me.
"Come with me," It says. A burly Sanukaville guard with fair skin , dark eyes, and tangled brown hair steps out of the trees.
"Why?" Aliaza asks.
" something's happened at camp, " He replies. He waits, rather impatiently and with lots of huffing, for us to climb down. Aliaza and I exchange a look.
My sword quivers. I stare at it for a second before I realize it must be Pani. She must know something.
The guard leads us out of the woods and back to camp. Near the fire is the limp, lifeless body of a Sanukaville warrior. Her hair is long and reddish, she has dark skin, and her eyes are a striking green color. The dull look in her eyes chills me to the bone.
Machali, Moonlight, and Dae-Jung are waiting for us.
"Now. We would like all of you– Aliaza, Kimiko, Moonlight, Machali, and your ghost friend –to find out who murdered this girl. Her name is Vaalra Lanfis. This is a book of all the people staying at this camp," Dae-Jung says. He hands me a large, leather book.
we retreat to the cabin and look through the book.
A list of all those staying at the camp who aren't guards(we didnt get a book for them)
1. Dnada Chresza, centaur, came here after being injured nearby. still healing, didn't even know Vaalra.
2. Na'ze Dygar, human, good friend of a Sanuakville guard. Friendly towards Vaalra.
3. Aenas. An elf with amnesia, disliked Vaalra.
4. Tariul Dolriamo. A human, it is unknown how he felt about Vaalra. Rumor says that he and Vaalra got into a large argument, and he held a grudge…
5. Evdir *page is ripped*, a *page ripped* was a prisoner who recently escaped, headed towards *page ripped*, got into book several times after esacping. Keeps showing up around camp and causing problems, like *page ripped*
6. Tinueres Lathane, a bobcat. Friendly to everybody.
7. Hofdin, prisoner, a redtailed hawk. Somehow he speaks human, and he always seems to know everything about everyone, especially about Vaalra, who captured him. Used to work for Catastrophe.
8. Rojo, a ghost. Not much is known about him. He is spotted late at night. Apparently he's a polar bear ghost. May or may not be real.
Eight suspects.
"I think we should talk to Hofdin first. Apparently he knew alot," Machali suggests .
"Maybe we can ask him about Evdir. It's weird that almost all of his information was ripped out," Moonlight says.
" Let's go to the prison cabin! "Aliaza says.
And off we go to see a redtailed hawk named Hofdin, prisoner.
~~~
-
So sorry!! I went on a class trip to DC and it was for a week! Finally I am back and ready to RP now!!
~Moonlight
Hofdin? Oh no. Not that guy again.
"Wait" Aliaza says "Pani is Rojo real?"
"I don't really know"
"Oh well" Kimiko says "Let's go to the prisoners cabin."
I hesitate before heading in that direction after the group. Aliaza noticed.
"What's wrong?" SHe asked.
"I-I know Hofdin." I reply.
"WHat?" Kimiko asks "HOw?"
"He was at BIG. They tried to do the same thing to him like they did to me but that enabled him to talk. As soon as BIG was destroyed he went to Catastrophe. Now he's here.. I don't know what will happen." I reply.
"You have relations with everyone." Machali remarks.
"I guess." I repy
Aliaza is looking at Kimiko again. We reach the prisoners cabin and it looks normal. We alk in and in place of the beds are cells. We reach one that has a redtailed hawk in it. He narrows his eyes. I look away.
"If you want to know about the murder and about Evdir don't bother asking." Hofdin says "After all you want to join the Resistance," He points at Kimiko "You just look horrific," He points at Machali "I don't talk to ghosts," He points at Pani "I despise shapeshifters," He points at Aliaza "And the only person who could even get the slightest bit of information is a coward and didn't take up my offer." He points and looks right at me.
"Hi Hofdin." I say.
"See? A coward! I don't even know why you people are traveling together! I mean only one of you is normal! I hate company and have just enough tolerance for these prisoners. And they don't even talk to me! Look I hated Vaalra but i've been stuck here. THat is all of the information you will get."
I slink away and walk out of the cabin. The rest of the group keeps trying to press Hofdin but I know better. Suddenly a ghosty figure appears.
"Hello Moonlight" it purrs
"Ember?"
"I've been looking for you guess what I'm not so ghostly any more!" She yells and then becomes normal again.
"B-but ho-ow?" I question gasping for air.
"Aparently Catastrophe is stronger than i thought!" SHe says her tail swishing.
Suddenly she lunges. I go down cought off guard and realize that thos was probobly a trap.
"How did you find me?" I ask and struggle to push her off of me.
"Let's just say I-pardon me-Catastrophe has ears everywhere."
She hits me in the leg and pulls me into the shadow. Then she leaves.
-
Kimiko ~
"Wait, where's Moonlight?" I say, looking around. Hofdin laughs.
" lost your friend, did you? Are sure she just didn't get too scared? " Hofdin snarls. I whirl around to him and yell for several minutes at him. He laughs.
"Kimiko, concentrate! We need to find Moonlight!" Machali says .
"What did you do to her?" I yell at Hofdin .
"Oh, now you're truly being offensive to me. How in Kyngdom would I be able to do something to her?" Hofdin snarls . He flexes his talons.
Aliaza suddenly walks in front of me, with a limping and bleeding Moonlight.
"What happened?" Machali asks .
"Ember," Moonlight replies .
"Okay. Aliaza, let's get Moonlight to the healer. Kimiko, can you deal with Hofdin?" Machali says. I nod.
as soon as they leave, I pull out the keys to the cells that Dae-Jung gave me.
I step inside Hofdin 's cel!. He looks honestly amused now.
"You really think you can get something out of me?"
i grab his legs and hold him upside down. He shrieks.
"I know I can," I growl. He desperately tried to free himself. I shake him, and he shrieks again.
" Fine! Fine! " He shrieks.
"What do you know about Evdir?" I growl .
"He's a fellow soldier of Catastrophe! He went insane the moment he was caught!" Hofdin yells.
" what about Vaalra? " I ask.
"You don't need to know about her," He says coldly. In one defiant motion he wriggles free. I pin him against the wall and say, " We're not done, hawk. "

~Moonlight
I feel so weak. I feel pain. WHat did Ember do to me? Machali and Aliaza take me to the healer cabin.
"What happened?!" Machali asks me anxious "Didn't we kill Ember?"
"Yes but it's Catastrophe. He's stronger than we imagined." I respond
Aliaza goes and talks to the doctors in human form. After a while, Kimiko comes back angry.
"THay knew the whole time!! They want Moonlight!! It was a trap!! A ploy!! This is ridiculous!! We have to go!!"
"What about the case?" Machali asks trying to calm her down.
"The case? If anything Ember did it herself!" Kimiko shouts back "Case solved!"
"Ok then" Aliaza says coming back "We are heading out then?"
"We have to wait for Moonlight to heal." Machali says firmly "We need her if something goes wrong."
"WARNING!!!" Pani screams before she jumps out.
"Finally!" Kimiko says
"Yes well anyway Machali is right we have to wait for Moonlight to recover. "
"Fine" Kimiko says bitterly "But we have to keep watch at all time. Ember is still around here."
They carry me back to our cabin after the doctors give me medicine and wrap my injured leg. We head back to bed and I fall asleep in an instant.
In the morning Kimiko is shaking me awake
"Moonlight!" She yells "Something happened!"
"What?" I ask
"I sent Aliaza to go check but we are ordred to stay in the cabins!"
Suddenly a bird comes flying in the window.
"Kimiko! It's Catastrophe!" she yells.
"What do you mean?" Machali asks.
"They blew up the healing cabin!"
We gasp.
"Guys we have to go now!" I say "They want me!"
"Fine let's go." Machali says.
We make it out and run into the forest. Hopefully in the right direction.

I'm so sorry I haven't been posting!! I'm getting over a cold (Seriousy! Who gets a cold in spring?!?!). I'll try and do a real post tomorrow.
-
Aliaza~~~
I sneak outside to see what was going on, I thought about aguring but I've seen the look on Kimiko's face before and I knew arguing was pointless. I look around to see a large group of panic. Everyone's running around as soldiers attack. Memories threaten at the edge of consious, threating to pull me under. I fly into Kimiko's cabin and shout
"Kimiko! It's Catastrophe!"
Soon we're up and running, away from the camp. Slowly I fall behind… should I stay or go join the army? I heisitate breify but in the end I follow them.
After all, I might get caught up in the storm… and I certanly don't want to die before joining.
-
Kimiko ~
The smoke is getting to me.
I'm seeing swarms of Orange wasps, blue mosnters…
Dizziness funnels up around me.
I force myself to keep goibg.
Keep going…Keep moving….
I collapse.
-
~Moonlight
We run and after a while Kimiko just drops. I screech to a halt and help Machali pick her up. Then we continue running. I notice that Aliaza is following us. She seems concerned about Kimiko. Sudenly a shout goes up. Guards are running after us. They point and more and more guards come.
"Machali go with Kimiko!" I shout "I'll hold them off!"
He looks back at me suprised. I nod and turn to face the guards. I look at Aliaza. What will she do? Will she help me or help them?
"I see the Panther!" One of the guards shouts.
"Capture her and bring her back for an interrigation!" Another yells back.
I look at Aliaza desperately now. I need her to fight with me.
~~~~~~~
The choice is yours!
