But Dark girl lives in the dark,
So you dont see her painful mark.

Crouched by the river, a shrouded figure stared into the fresh water stream. She didn't exactly have a home at the moment, well she had a very well furnished house in Silsta, but it was on the Inland. The seventeen year old girl didn't like moving back and forth, it only strengthened her trail and that wasn't acceptable. Her most recent escapade included, The Ghost, two werewolves, a now-dead Shifter and a whole lot of humans. The Shifter had sprayed a whole lot of blood over everyone when he had gotten shot through the neck. Naturally, Jisa got the brunt of it. Slipping her black turtleneck off, she dropped it into the river and rubbed at it vigorously, trying to get most of the dried blood off. Her T-Shirt only had a spot or two on it but that could wait, so could her trousers. After she had finished that, she washed her face and her arms.

Slinking away from the river she hung the turtleneck on a tree branch to dry. Jisa hadn't shifted in a while, and it was starting to effect her, the scars that had once been the wounds that had almost killed her were showing up. Especially the one that ran across her jawline and done her neck. She needed to shift. Sighing she gave up, slipping the wet turtleneck back on she started to change. Within a moment she had changed. Bowing on her chest, she stretched and dug her claws into the ground, an exhausted yawn parted her powerful jaws. Fully awake she prowled around the river absent mindedly.

Dark Dark girl may never know,

I walked through the woods, toward a girl figure I had sensed earlier. "Kaala? Is that you?" I called out, blind again and tired out from sensing even that far. my wings where pulled tight against my back in case it wasn't her, and a human girl instead. I had no way of knowing. The strange thing was, I haven't been able to go to a human from since I grew wings. I could go raven and go back to midway, but I was unable to go back to being human. NO idea why. I kept walking until I brushed something furry. "Oooh. That is not Kaala!" I allowed myself to panic, reaching my wings out clumsily, and flapping frantically. I wasn't used to taking off without running, but I mangaged. I flew low for awhile before trying to land. Unfortunately, I didn't see that I was landing in water, and I was trying to swim while flapping my big, soaking wings that where no longer capable of flight. I was not in a good position.

A boy's voice called out for someone named Kaala, the black panther understood that, as she could understand quite a lot in her changed form. Her amber eyes flicked over to the shape of the boy, something was definitely not quite right about him. The smell of an eagle came to her small nose, he had wings too. Unless there was a specific breed of supernatural called the Angels, then he was an avian shifter, very rare. Growls ripped from her throat unintentionally, in her panther form, she was a lot more anti social. Her claws sank into the dirt of the river bank floor, her tail swishing in irriation. Being human formed for so long, Jisa didn't quite have control over her body yet, it was acting completely by animal instinct. The boy didn't quite seem to be in control of his frame either, he stumbled toward her as if he couldn't see. The black panther had to wonder if he was blind or just had really, really bad eyesight. That was uncommon in Shifters too.


As he came toward her, she tried to move out of his way, but she was so not going to leap into the river. So he ended up brushing against her and calling out in his oblivious way about this Kaala again.Jisa mustered up enough energy to at least sound remotely human.

"Good guess Sherlock."

Her sentence was sort of a grumble and growl but it would do the job hopefully. Obviously scared out of his wits, the winged boy flapped and sort of hopped into the river. In the process of almost drowning, he was still flapping his useless wings around. Well someone was going to have to save him. Reluctantly the panther took a running start and soared into the water. Usually Jisa'd let the bird brain drown, as a hunter of course, but she had grown a sort of almost partial toilerance for most supernaturals. Grabbing him roughly around the back of his neck, part of his wing had also found it's way in their, Jisa dragged him to shore. Once his torso was out of the water she left him there on the bank while she shook herself off.

The cold water had unsettled her panther self, so she shifted back into her six foot frame, her clothes sodden, weighing like one hundred extra pounds. Her hair stuck to her face and every other part of her it could reach, she was not a happy Shifter.

"What is your issue?!"

Jisa shouted at him, her arms upraised before falling back to her side with a wet squelch. Not happy at all.

I paniced for a moment as I felt jaws close over part of my wing and the back of my neck, until I understood that the creature, I still didn't know what it was, pulled me to shore. "uh, thanks, I guess." I said when we where on shore, and I heard the sounds of shifting. I looked in the general direction of the female voice, and retorted in my usual sarcastic tone, "Oh, well excuuuuse me if I'm blind. Not like it matters or anything. No, don't mind me, I'll just feel my way back to town," I extended my wings and flapped, not to take off, but to try and get some of the water off of them. I couldn't fly with soggy wings, and I didn't do so well down on the ground. as you could probably see.

Jisa wrung her hair out in annoyance, well she'd have to walk home in her now clean clothes, even though they were soaked through. His thanks was lost to the dark haired female in her hurry to get somewhat dry. Well now that she was here and had been disturbed she might as well talk to the older boy, she had nothing better to do on the island anyways. Giving up on getting remotely dry Jisa crossed her arms over her chest and stared at the eagle boy. As he used his sarcastic tone to explain that he was blind and whatnot, Jisa rolled her eyes. That would be something she would say, but in a much better way than that.

"Touchy much, assuming I ever knew you were blind and all. Don't be so assuming Eagle-Boy."

Jisa shot back at him, her attitude flaring as she slipped her hands onto her hips. His stupid flapping sprayed the Shifter with further more water, which cost him an acid glare. She would have to say something if he didn't stop with the water.

"You know, I really don't like swimming. So far, you are so not impressing me."

Jisa sighed at him.

I smirked. This was my kind of chick. Too bad I couldn't see what she looked like. I gave a thumbs-up in her direction when she laughed, smiling myself. "Hey, I made you laugh. Must be doing something right," I extended my wings to their full 18-foot wingspan, to try and dry them off in the sun. "And by the way? I'm the Raven. Kaala's the eagle. But what are you? Some mammal, I know." I asked, and tried to sense things around me again. Only myself and the girl, no sign of Kaala. I wonder where she could be?

His smirk slightly amused her, and Jisa was never amused by anything much. His thumbs up was completely random, the panther shifter hadn't understood random happiness since she had been twelve. One eyebrow raised she settled down to the ground, spreading her legs out in front of her and leaning back, catching the sun and trying to dry. Yes, she was a little more uncomfortable in the heat, seeing as black clothing attracted heat and she wasn't exactly wearing light summer stuff. Last night had been slightly chilly, what of it?

"Must be."

Jisa answered, glancing toward the young adult once again. Her ocean blue eyes flashing as they caught the light of the sun, his wingspan was pretty big, impressive even. But do you think Jisa would ever admit anything like that? Not likely. His specification of what type of bird he was, caused Jisa to look at him once again.

"Raven? Eagle? They're both birds aren't they? I got something right."

Jisa chuckled slightly in her statement. Yeah, Jisa was some sort of a mammal, reminding her of how he knew.

"Yup, Black Panther."

"A cat. Nice. I've always like cats," I said, still smiling my half-smile. I was liking this girl, and I don't usually like people. Too bad I couldn't know if she was part of the team that locked Kaala and me up for our whole lives. I floded my wings slightly, gently flapping slowly, trying to get wind in between feathers to dry them completely. "So what's your name, Kitty?" I asked, still smiling, my sightless brown eyes glad for the first time since They had escaped from the lab.

Jisa looked at him when he said he had always liked cats, she was still no more sry than she had been when she had first gotten out of the water. Jisa was no house cat, she was a wild cat, a Panther no less, but strangely she didn't mind his error. Of course, Jisa was curious, had this raven been born blind? Or had something happened to him to make him that way? Usually she'd push someone for the answer, and part of her personality was urging her to, but she didn't, not just yet anyways. 'So what's your name, Kitty?'

"I only tell that to those I trust, but you are a Shifter. I don't suppose you'll run off telling everyone my name."

By that she meant the wolf shifter she had yet to find and kill, as well as multiple other Hunters that would know that she had been gone without a trace for a while. Usually she's give anyone she met a nickname they could call her by, like J or Taylor. Maybe she could trust this boy.

"It's Jisa. Mind telling me your name boy? So I don't have to call you by Raven?"

He was lucky he was drying fast, she certaintly was not.

NOT DONE!

[Roul Azzuen Ruuqo]

Huh. Maybe this girl had a dark and mysterious past, too, if she didn't want to give her name up. And maybe she gave me a fake name. I'd never know. "Call me Roul. You have a beautiful name, Jisa," I complimented. I folded my wings back against my body, now only damp. "Well what are you doing out here? Seems to me that most people are in town,"

Jisa felt his questioning come off of him in waves, she had sensitive senses, especially because her other side was a panther. Of course people had a right to wonder about her and her round the house reasoning and explanations. Her eyes flickered toward him, waiting for his name. His sentence was like her's, 'Call me Roul.' but if this was his real name, she'd never know. Somehow she sort of sensed it was the truth, as was hers. His comment on her name made her blush, no one had ever told her that before, Jisa never blushed.

"Hm. Flattery, is that what it's come to?"

Jisa chuckled, slight unease threading her voice. They had only known each other for a minute or two and he was already changing her attitude.

"I'm not most people. I prefer to stay away from all of the attention."

[Kaala Sindy Ruuqo]

Kaala swoops in, the wind blowing threw the wings of the Tawny Eagle, the sound was like flaps of plastic. Kaala lands, her talons gripping the tree's branch, her tan colored feathers so not blending in to the tree. The blond girl looked down, she saw her brother talking to a woman, or young girl, Kaala did not like this, she did not get a good vibe from this shifter, the way her eye where, deep and blue like the sea. Kaala sung her voice ringing loud, the eagles squawk telling her brother she was here. Kaala swooped down her big wings almost hitting the female, she landed on her brothers shoulder, she was not happy, she did not thrust this girl, especially not to phase back. She stayed on her brothers shoulder.

[Roul Azzuen Ruuqo]

"Well, I'm a flattering guy," I said. I could just picture her blushing. But then I heard an eagle's screech, and felt a gush of air as Kaala flew over to land on my shoulder, but I could feel upset vibes rolling off her. "Well Jisa, this is my sister Kaala, Kaala, this is Jisa. Now, mind explaining what's gotten you so worked up?" I asked, curious. What could have gotten her so worked up?

[Jisanna Elizabeth Taylor]

Jisa

"I'm sure."

Jisa's sensitive hearing picked up the flapping of very powerful wings, a big bird most likely. It lighted down on a tree near the river, but the panther shifter didn't worry, if the bird felt threatened and decided to attack then Jisa would be able to get it away. At the last second, the black haired girl recognized the aura of the eagle. A shifter, but still too late. The Eagle Shifter squawked, seemingly to Roul. Swooping down the Eagle almost hit Jisa, and yes, Jisa jumped out of her skin, literally. Once second she was on the ground, trying to dry herself, the next she was a panther just landing from a three foot jump.

Jisa was not impressed. Her tail thrashed back and forth in anger and unease, her eyes flashing. Growls ripped from the back of her throat. Finally she was over her little phase and shifted back, but only half way, that's all of the energy she could muster up to change back. Clenching and unclenching her fists she eyed the Eagle angrily. Redness showed up in her face, in embarrassment and in anger that she had been surprised.

"Your sister, of course."

[Kaala Sindy Ruuqo]

Kaala watched she did not like the feeling she was getting from this girl, and at the mentioned of her named she squawked, but really she was laughing inside at the way the shifter reacted at her sudden appearance. She smiled, and decide to make her self human, she opened her wings at a wingspan of over five feet, she flew up and let her self fall, at mid way down she turned her full human Kaala self, smiling landing on her feet, she had not flown high. ''Hello there Roul, and friend'', she looked at this panther shifter, she had flown in the air like a scared kitty and that had made Kaala's day. She noticed this Shifter resented herself, maybe that's why Kaala did not like her, she loved being a shifter. Kaala grabbed her brothers hand, she felt safer this way, one with him being blind and two with this shifter being more powerful.
