Rella was outside of her house watching her little brother climb up a tree. He kept getting up higher and higher, so high it was making her nervous since the tree was old and the branches weren't that sturdy. She had to do something before her parents found out that she was letting her little brother do something so dangerous.<br/>"Bobby, get down from there! You'll break your leg falling when one of those branches break!"<br/>But it wasn't going to be so easy, her brother just started making faces and taunting her from up high, crawling around even more. He was being the typical pest he always was, it seemed that little Bobby always got up in the morning thinking of how he was going to annoy his older sister. It made her want to tear her hair out with the way he acted.<br/>"If you want me to get down, your going to have to come up here and get me!"<br/>So that's what she did, but instead of right away going to grab her brother she started to play in the tree, rather enjoying herself. It had been a long time since she had done anything like that and she had forgotten how much fun it was. But her fun wouldn't last long, her mother came outside searching for little Bobby saw Rella up there in the tree with her brother and boy was her mother mad!<br/>"Rella, what are you doing up there in that tree, your way too old to go climbing in trees like that! Your making a bad impression on your brother. That tree is way too old for people to go around crawling in it. Just one false step and boom you would be with a broken leg or worse! Get down from there right this instant."<br/>Rella made her way down feeling sheepish, that was pretty much the same thing she had been saying to her brother but she couldn't resist the call of the tree. She had always loved things like that. How active she was growing up had worried her mother since she got hurt a lot. She mumbled as her mother pointed her to her room and she knew she was grounded.<br/>"Squirrels never get too old to climb trees."<br/>Rella said staring at a poster of a squirrel on her wall. That was her favorite animal, and people said her personality was a lot like one. She was always very active, and clever. She had always wished she could be a squirrel, but she knew that it was impossible for that to ever happen. Things like people turning into animals only happened in books.<br/>Then the strangest thing happened, the poster on the wall started...talking.Rella started rubbing her ears as it happened, certainly her imagination was running away with her. She was mad that she got in trouble for climbing that tree and wanted something else to happen. But as clear as day, that squirrel in that picture was talking to her.<br/>"Hey Rella, so you want to be a squirrel do you? Well your dreams are about to come true. Just follow me and everything you want will be a reality."<br/>Then that squirrel seemed to leap right off the poster and onto her bed, starting to jump out of her room motioning for her to follow it.<br/>This can't be happening. I must be going crazy. Why do I feel the overwhelming urge to follow even though this can't be true?<br/>This was so weird, she forgot that she was supposed to be in trouble and stay in her room, she felt herself drifting out of her house as that squirrel led her who knew where. When it stopped she found herself at a stream.<br/>"You have been brought here because you have been chosen to become a shifter. Others will come and they will become your friends. You will go on a journey to find the evil one and defeat him. Just dive into the water here and you will start your journey."<br/>She looked into the water feeling rather unsure of herself, she had so many questions. One was how was she supposed to defeat this evil one if she was a squirrel?As far as she knew,they weren't made for fighting. But she knew they were clever, and by what her guide said she would not be alone and have friends to fight by her side.<br/>Rella took a deep breath, and jumped in the water and got spit out somewhere else a strange place that looked unfamiliar to her. She shook herself off to get the water off, but found herself dry. Getting up off the ground she wondered when the others would be here, and how they would find this evil one. The answers to that would be coming soon...<br/>The others would be led to be transported to this area, and be granted the gift of shapeshifting. Together they would discover powers, and many other things about each other.<br/>It begins...
