Forgotten Wolf 08-28-2008 06:54 PM<br/>â€œWhat brings be hear is the fact that I almost lost a packmate todayâ€¦â€ That was nothing new given the state of the city but the next part that came out was not as common. â€œâ€¦ to humans.â€ Brian wasnâ€™t in a good mood as was obvious in the way he spoke with seriousness and some slight tones of anger. He let that sink in for a moment before starting again to clear any confusion or misinterpretations that Shey might have. â€œAnd no this wasnâ€™t some random drive by or mugging. These guys kidnapped Elizabethâ€™s little sister and were waiting for us with shotguns loaded with silver! They threatened the poor girl right in front of Elizabeth and Elizabeth went into a Death Rageâ€¦ I had to step in before she hurt anyone in the pack but she had all ready taken a full shotgun blast to her shoulderâ€¦ Weâ€™re lucky we have life mage living with us or else we might have lost her.â€ He actually starts pacing to burn some energy.<br/><br/>The sky grew steadily darker above them, it seemed nowadays as if the sun set just a bit quicker than it should to bring the night around. He looks over at Shey while he continues to pace but he reigns in his voice to come out calmer than he actually was. â€œDo you understand now Shey what you little war has done? The humans are learning of our existence now. One of our most sacred rules is to keep our existence from beyond their eyes. Is there really no chance that you could work out a peace or some sort of agreement with the vampires?â€ Brian was pretty sure his words would fall upon deaf ears but he needed to try before things got really bad. He finally stopped moving to stare Shey directly in the eyeâ€¦ The last time he did that was when he took some of the newly changed like himself to form a new pack before being forced from Black Rose territory.<br/><br/><br/>A couple of TFV agents on the job**************************<br/><br/>A black Lincoln town car pulled up to and parked in front of abandoned warehouse near the edge of town before two men in black suits got out. One man was big, broad shoulders with his dark hair buzzed short, while the other one was shorter, paler and definitely not as intimidating but still had a serious nature to his figure. â€œSo this is the place?â€ The big one inquired. â€œYep,â€ the lighter man responded putting a folder down on the hood of the car and reading off some of the information contained within. â€œFive murders within the last week, no finger prints, DNA, or any sign that there was another person beside the victim other than signs of a possible struggle. All five were killed with debris at the scene.â€ The big guy just nodded for a second, â€œSo Iâ€™m guessing that someone back at base found something that we need to take care of.â€ The pale man nodded before closing the folder and putting it back in the car, â€œYeah, he found out that a serial killer died here a while back in a bloody firefight.â€<br/><br/>â€œAh.â€ Was all the large man said as he walked back to the trunk and popped it open. There were a few sounds like a clip being changed in a gun as well as some rummaging before he closed the trunk again; now holding what looked like two modified pairs night vision goggles. â€œHere.â€ â€œThanks.â€ The two walk up to one of the regular doors with the goggles on though the big man stopped for a moment to look at his boss with a little confusion. â€œArenâ€™t you going toâ€¦â€ Was all he got out before he was interrupted. â€œLetâ€™s get this over with all ready. Youâ€™ve got point since youâ€™re the ex-special forces man, J.â€ J scowled at being called J and gave up trying to talk to his partner, drawing his Glock instead. His boss drew his Colt and kicked open the door, which J promptly entered and surveyed the area. The place was bare, nothing more than an empty building with pipes, crumbling supports, and other dangerous materials. The pale man entered one J gave him the clear, â€œWell, this is something thereâ€™s nothing hereâ€¦â€ He was cut off as he was suddenly picked up by an unseen force and thrown across the floor. J and his partner both cursed as they pulled another set of lenses on the goggles into place. Their vision changed slightly from the normal night vision and now they could make out a hazy fog-like entity in a shape somewhat of a human floating near the pale man. The thrown man was first to react, pointing his gun a pulling the trigger repeatedly but the rounds found nothing to hit a just punch through the roof and siding of the building, The ghost went at him again, picking him up a started lifting him up towards the ceiling to drop the poor man.<br/><br/>J took aim with his gun and fired; a bright blue streak erupted from his Glock and actually struck the ghost as if it was actual flesh. The ghost in surprise dropped Jâ€™s boss at a still low height and went after him. J kept the fire up and within seconds of the first shot being fired the ghost let out a glass shattering screech as its form fell apart and dispersed into nothingness. Sighing, J walks over to his boss and helps him up before taking off his goggles. He just shakes his head for a moment before pulling the slide back on his Glock to eject an unspent round into his hand and held it up for the pale man to see. The bullet looked normal other than the weird blue glow at its tip. â€œI tried to tell you outside you probably should have loaded etheric rounds into your gun but you were.â€ â€œShut up, Jâ€ The pale gentleman spat back at him before walking out the door.<br/><br/>They put their gear away but J spoke up before they got in the vehicle, â€œI really wish you would stop calling me J. You make me feel like Iâ€™m in a fucking Men in Black movie.â€ The pale man looked over to him with a humorous and inquisitive raised eyebrow before pulling out a pair of shades from his coat and placing them on his face. With a smile the pale man opens his mouth to make a remark but J cuts him off. â€œShut upâ€¦ We have meeting to get to.â€ He mutters as he puts on his own shades and opens the passenger side door. Woe to anyone one who actually witnessed the events that just transpiredâ€¦<br/><br/>eferhilda 08-28-2008 08:24 PM<br/>Shey stood listening trying to keep the small amount of panic from growing larger. If even a small portion of what he was saying was true, then they were all in big trouble. Still even with this bigger threat is was going to be hard to just forget about the war with the vampires, to push aside ancient feuds. "Brian I'm sorry for what happened to Elizabeth and glad to hear that she will make it, but just because this happened to your pack does not mean it will happen to mine. My pack is larger and stronger then yours, it would be a lot harder for the humans to capture one of ours." she said with a bit of pride.<br/><br/>Looking at him meeting his gaze she spoke, "We will investigate this new development with the humans, but I will not go jumping into bed with another enemy just because a newer one may have appeared. No I won't do that and risk leaving the pack open to the vampires and their deceit." she nodded her head as if to emphasize her words. "Though I will send out some patrols to see what we can learn and if you want I will send some of my best warriors to help your pack during this time of need. That is all I can and that I am willing to do given the information." she says lowering her hand from her pockets, wondering what was it that made him leave the pack in the first place. She could not think of anything in this world to forsake the pack for, not even matters of the heart.<br/><br/>Forgotten Wolf 08-29-2008 09:26 PM<br/>Brianâ€™s anger just grew as he heard the words that exited Sheyâ€™s mouth until she finally finished and he almost lost it. â€œHer sister wasnâ€™t part of our pack! Sheâ€™s human! Have you forgotten how low the chances are of a person born from a human and werewolf mating to actually undergo their First Change is?!?!â€ He almost shouted. â€œShe didnâ€™t even know her sister was an Uratha until she saw her change before her eyes!!! Iâ€™m surprised the girl isnâ€™t completely catatonic at this point.â€ He started pacing again, he felt that if he didnâ€™t he might just lunge at Shey.<br/><br/>â€œHave you even taken a glance at the Shadow (spirit world) lately? The area around and in this city is overrun with death, pain, and anger spirits.â€ He glares at her accusingly. â€œIf you keep this war up, there will be nothing left of this city to save. Donâ€™t you understand that?!â€ He stops pacing to lean against a tree and take a few deep breaths to try and keep his rage in check. If he lost it here heâ€™d end up limping away since he knew he was still no match against Shey physically. â€œDonâ€™t even bother sending you people to watch out for us. More than likely theyâ€™d just end up starting a fire fight with the first vampire they see.â€ He said viciously as he stared at the bark of a nearby tree. â€œIâ€™ve all ready got my people digging for informationâ€¦â€He shakes his head in disappointment and stands up straight. â€œIâ€™ll see you aroundâ€¦â€ He half-growls bitterly as he turns to goâ€¦
