Francis looked downwards as it rained. he didn't mind the rain, it simply got him worried that he might not find shelter before nightfall. he pulled his hood up over his face and began walking back to his mother's vacation home. it was a small cabin in the middle of the forest, surrounded by a lake. thing is, his mother had died two summers ago, and hadn't left him enough money to get back to the city. he sighed, and began the short walk to the lakeside cabin. so many memories...<br/><br/>Suddenly he heard a gunshot, and he jumped four feet in the air. "Stupid hunters! this world would be better if they were all DEAD!" he grumbled making a fist. Another shot sounded, and it was closer to him this time. deciding to run back to the cabin, he got there in time to see something slink into the door. "I knew I shouldn't have kept that raw deer carcass... but really, what am I supposed to eat?" he mumbled to himself. cautiously opening the door to his cabin, he backed out immediately.<br/><br/>"That's WAY too big to be a regular cat!" he said breathing hard. More gunfire. "Okayokayokay, get killed by hunters if they find this place, or get eaten by a giant cat if I go into my own house!" he gulped. A shot was fired on the edge of the forest around the lake. the hunters were closing in. He removed the duct tape roll from his jacket and threw it to the center of the lake. before the roll fell into the water he snapped and yelled "Diameter: 50 yards!" to which the roll expanded, passing through the entire area like a phantom image, then solidifying and as Francis yelled "Forest Wall!" the huge exterior of the by now fifty foot high wall changed to an impenetrable wall of redwood trees.<br/><br/>"Ok, let's see... what time is it?" he took out a<span style="font-style: italic">very</span>expensive watch. "7:59 PM. good. just need one more minute." Watching the minute hand, as soon as it hit 8 o'clock, he initiated his shifting ability and soon there was a small fox in place of the young man. Entering the cabin, which was in utter disrepair, he didn't see where the 'cat' had gotten to. "Ummm... hello?" he asked the empty room. "I live here! you know you could just ask for some food!" Still seeing nothing, he decided to just let the... whatever it was... alone. after all, there were all kinds of animals in this forest, right?
