It had always been such two kinds of were , Those that chose to follow their animal path rarely dwelling with their human counter staying true to their animal form and those that stuck with humanity finding their animal side a nuisance. Over the centuries the two sides had always brought war in attempts to do away other side. Their magic only furthered their cause ever natural disaster through the ages their own doings.She'd been exilled for a year now, A year since she'd seen her pack. A long year they still hunted for her. What was it they wanted now? All that was heard was the beating of her own heart as the wolf raced through the thick forest. Haltering her head snapped up as she froze in place.’ I nearly caught up to you’. Shaking her head the wolf relaxed her form her gaze landing onto the red fox that came crashing out of the forest. ‘Little pup you wished you had caught me’ She replied evenly. As the fox shifted forms she stretched out on the ground gazing up at the human. ‘I detest you in that form ‘She scolded. Drawing her to full height she barred her fangs growing lowly. ‘We are not human ‘Anders knelt down petting her ears lightly knowing full well how to infuriate the female wolf, rather he was quite skilled at it. “Aww is my little wolfiee getting cranky again?” Grinning he hugged her knowing full well she couldn’t help but give in. Why she’d ever saved his sorry ass was beyond her. Nuzzling him softly she pushed him away before she got to soft. ' You don't quite understand what it means to be an enemy of the state. ' Taking another step she scanned the area briefly, ' Maybe I stay true to who I am but for now I will remain in this form. I can keep my human self secret, Perhaps then I can hide easier ' Her pack would have exiled her over once more had they seen her conversing with a Were-fox heck her throat would have been ripped out at the mere suggestion of saving his sorry ass. Yet she'd done it, heck what more trouble could she bring to herself. Not giving him a chance to discuss the matter further she began to walk away. ' Keep up or I may just leave you. ' It was the same empty levelled threat she tried each time, unfortunately they both knew she'd kill for him....had killed for the pup. " They've been here. " Fixing him a look she continued walking they couldn't get spooked out now, they had to continue. ' The town will have a sanctuary, they have to accept us ' Anders looked at her slightly skeptical. " They'll accept their side...we...well you refuse to become human." Devine and her stubborn attitude that proud wolf was seriously going to get us in trouble, " Devine. " He continued only too stop short from her warning look. " We're being followed aren't we?" Well wasn't he captain obvious shaking her head she growled loudly. ' Move now, split up get into town. We're safe there. ' Turning on her heels she quickly sped away. It was her they wanted not him, all she had to do was reach the town with an alternate route. From her side she could see him, the brown wolf set on making her pay. Cringing she circled back the way she'd come narrowly avoiding a bite. That was much too close for her own good. ' Devine why do you continue to run, Come back little one' How she detested the sound of his voice in her head. 'Never ' She shouted. Raising her head she ran as fast as she could Anders just ahead of her, Nearly there and we are safe...nearly. With a loud cry of pain she stopped short collapsing to the ground as Fury sank his fangs into her leg. " You can't touch her your on sanctuary grounds now. " Anders growled. What they'd made it. Clearly the Fury hadn't realised that either. Stupid wolf. ' Were even for now' What the hell was that meant to mean, it's all good till you leave the town. Wincing she slowly stood up. " Your hurt, Devine stop. " Brushing past him she continued walking slowly. ' We brought trouble to this sanctuary time to face the music '

Walking, walking and walking that's all he did while she got to be up there in the air. Free as a bird cause the little brat was a bird. She got to feel the wind in her feathers and he had to walk. "Do you mind telling me why the hell you're all the way up there instead of down here?!" He called up to her as she circled about him once again. He only got one simple caw in return and he knew that as her laughing at him. He kicked at the dirt wanting to stretch, and claw at the ground. She finally came down and he held out his arm for her as she landed. "Alright where are we headed?" She butted her head against his trying to show him. "Alright alright" he said patting her head. Nearly seven years now they had been traveling together, going pretty much where the wind took them. Trista normally led the way cause she could see for miles on end while poor Zeke had to stay on the ground in human form. She knew that he wanted to let his cat play but for him there weren't that many places that he could do that. For any normal person or even other were's it was sometimes hard to take in what Zeke was. It had take Trista several days to get over it but he needed her help and she needed his. "Ok Trista we are getting close to town and I think you should change" Zeke told her and she knew that it was time but she still didn't want to. She jump down off his arm and walked behind some bushes as she shifted her forms. She walked back out stretching her arms. "As much as I like towns I just wished that you can run free like I can" she said walking up to him" he nodded his head "I'll find a place just as soon as I can" she said. "So what's so special about this town?" She shrugged her shoulders "I dunno, I just felt drawn." They continued at a steady pace headed to the town as something jumped in front of them and bolted. They stepped back "What the hell was that?" Zeke called "I don't know, but come on" he shouted as he ran after what ever it was, Trista not far behind. Zeke loved this feeling, his muscles aching and his heart racing but it came to a sudden stop as Trista yanked on his arm. "Stop!" She screamed "there's more here then we see" she whispered to him. He watched the events unfold before them and was intrigued "Come on let's go" Zeke grabbed her hand and they started to slowly walk away. ((Hope this works))

"Of all the headstrong wolves I get stuck with you." Anders grumbled. ' Well I hope your in pain Devi you walked us straight into that trap." He added. Devine for her part continued limping slowly through the town. ' Shut up find the were sanctuary.' Hands running through his hair he looked up spotting a woman watching them, " Even better Devine a council member has found us, making our day as usual."
That was hardly a good thing. Faltering mid step she bowed her head respectfully, damn council she didn't answer to the likes of them anyway. " You will adress me properly dog not in that form." The woman order. No suprise the woman was a lioness. ' Fucking cats.' Anders stiffled a laugh. " Madam you really don't want to do that." A sharp look from the woman he fell silent she could literally tear him to peices with her magic ' Devine don't do it.' He silently begged her she never used her human form before now it wouldn't be wise to start. Yet what where they to do closing her eyes she changed her form head spinning a wave of sickness passing through her body. Wincing she slumped against Anders whilst the woman released a horrified gasp. " Didn't I mention I wasn't one of you?" She spoke weakly. What was that woman's problem now? Slowly she straightened herself out her leg throbbing where Fury had bitten her. " Well you can hardly expect me to be wearing clothes when I've never used this form before." She spoke levely "Devine shut up I'll do the talking." Takig charge he pulled his shirt of " And bloody hell cover up." Damnit he should be enjoying finally the chance to see Devine's human form yet this woman was ruining it for him. " We were chased as by sanctuary rules you have to allow us to stay, regardless of what side we are." He insisted.

"But Zeke..." Trista whinned, she had seen it out of the corner of her eye but she saw it. There were others, she knew it but why was Zeke pulling her away. "Zeke..." she whined again "No Tris not right now. Bad time" he said and they turned down a different street. "We need to find a place to stay for the night and get something to eat. This place...the feeling it give me...not the place for a were-cat like me" he rambled on and Trista finally gave in.
"Alright I guess but you have some explaining to do later" she said and crossed her arms over her chest. "You pick the place and the food cause I am not making any decisions right now seeing as how you are upset about the town I picked" she huffed as they walked down the street "A sanctuary Trista that's what this place is. They help were's and I will have nothing to do with them besides they think I'm a liar. They don't believe that I'm a were because I refuse to change for them" she nodded her head, she could understand why he refused. She would too if she were him.

The whole wearing clothes in public concept was really lost on her as she held Anders shirt what did he want her to do with it anyway? While the council member and anders spoke her gaze drifted over the street instantly she backed into Anders really she did her best to avoid other were's yet now they we're going to have to go into the sanctuary ' Might be wolves there.' Anders was trying to comfort her yet that left her with an even sicker feeling. " Make sure she gets clothes on there are humans around and now I have to clear their memories." The woman huffed.
Shaking his head he grabbed Devine's shoulder " Put the shirt on devine so we can get your at least wearing something." He sighed. Raising her head her yellow wolf eyes narrowed, " Don't order me around pup." Still she complied pulling his shirt over her head she ran a hand over the foreign material stopping as it fell to her thighs. " This ... i dislike it." She disliked it she'd bloody got them put here in the first place now she wanted too complain. " We're getting you clothes so you don't piss of anyone else." Gently he took hold of her wrist leading her along the street till she stumbled. " What I can't walk on two legs..." Was he that dense. " You can't tell me you've never ever used your human form?" From the look on her face he groaned. " Shit this is hopeless come one." Gently he pulled her to her feet. " I promise once we get to the sanctuary you can stay in your wolf form we're nearly there okay."

"What business do you have here?" A strong voice sounded and Trista stopped but Zeke kept moving "Zeke" she hissed at him and he finally stopped. Turning back to her he let out an audible growl. 'Just great' he said under his breath and walked back to Trista, he grabbed her arm gentle and start to pull her away "Just keep moving and don't address them" he said to her but she kept looking at the man who had spoken to them.
"I asked what your business is here" the man appeared in front of them making Zeke stop. "Our business doesn't concern the likes of you" Zeke hissed at the man and tried to side step away from him but the man only followed suit. "I've asked nicely twice and I will not asked a third" the man was becoming impatient and Zeke knew that it probably wasn't the smartest idea but he didn't want to deal with these people "My friend and I were just passing through and don't need any help from your council so if you would move we can be on our way" Zeke hissed out to the guy trying to contain his anger for the man. "Zeke, come on be nice" Trista really had no idea what the whole probably was or what Zeke meant by council. "You'll have to forgive my friend...he's a little..." she looked at him and he had a warning look on his face "High strung...you know...all the traveling and such" she said in a sweet tone as she pulled her arm from Zeke's death grip. "We were just looking for a place to stay for the night and then we have to be some where" she told the man but his expression never changed. His eyes were trained on Zeke for some reason "Sir?" Trista called and his eyes finally focused on her. "Well then if that's the case then you need to just be on your way...there is no room for ones such as yourself. This is your only warning" and then he disappeared "What a jerk" Trista exclaimed.
"Hey I tried to warn you. Council members of the sanctuaries are strung tight" he said placing his hands behind his head and continued walking. "Well I guess we better start heading out of town then, I'd rather not start a fight and have it turned into a blood bath. I'm already cooped up as it is and am likely to spring on anything to kill" Zeke told her and Trista just shrugged her shoulders and followed him.

Really now it was quite shocking how the she wolf failed to grasp the concept of wearing clothes. Why couldn't she stop fiddling with his damn shirt. Closing his eyes Anders signed this was doing nothing for his hormones at Devine once again lifted the shirt above her thighs. " Devine stop it." He growled. ' You want too keep your secret blend in.' He scolded. Why did she have to look up at him with puppy eyes a look of confusion on her face, " What am I doing wrong, I'm human now aren't I." He had to hand it to her she certiantly was naive where human ways were concerned. Shaking his head he released a soft sigh, she wouldn't understand how oh so appealing she looked. How in a matter of seconds she'd just become a form of sexual desires for the men walking past. " We're getting something to eat then we are leaving." He spoke firmly.
With a nod of her head she slipped into the building Anders still helping her walk. Stupid useless human legs why couldn't they support her weight. Stopping she breathed in the smells of the forest, " There are cats here Anders." Pulling a disgusted face her nose scrunched up. " And I can't eat them either." Devastated she took a seat watching as a man walked over to them. " Jackal dear goddess have we not suffered enough?" She protested. Hand clamped over her mouth she took a seat beside Anders. " Hot meal then we are gone." Anders repeated to himself. This was getting painful sitting next to devine he really needed to force her to wear clothes not too mention he needed his shirt back. " Do inferior animals normally stare so?" Inferior animals what did she mean. Raising his head he looked around the room, " The jackal, I believe he's Checkinf you out." Her blank expression really wasn't helping. " Never mind, I am geting us food DO! not leave this chair." Standing up he away not noticing a Devine painfully made her way over to the jackal. " You shouldn't meet the gaze of those better then you mutt." She hissed

"So..." she skipped in front of him and batted her eyelashes and he just let the obvious go over his head "No Trista" he said but she continued to look at him like that "Yes?" He finally inquired to her curiosity "What are counsel members? And what are sanctuaries?" Then she fell into place next to him and matched his steady pace. "The sanctuaries are for were's, they are places for were's to go to feel safe but they are not exactly how you would picture them. There are higher archries and were's still pick on each other. Counsel members keep everyone in line...mostly ok. Satisfied" She shrugged her shoulders "I guess" they walked past several food shops and Zeke's stomach began to growl.
"Can we? I quite hungry myself" she said noting his stomach but with Zeke's stubbornness she wasn't sure if he would go for it. He looked at her "I guess but no more then a few minutes. We'll get something to go alright" She nodded her head and they took a turn walking into the food place. Trista excitedly looked around at all the people but Zeke kept his eyes ahead, he sniffed a little bit and froze "mutts" he hissed and gripped onto Trista's arm "Ow" she called softly and turned to Zeke "What the bloody hell is it?" She squawked at him "Mutts and a lot of them...not to mention a lot more others" he whispered to to and she looked around. "There are just people Zeke get a grip and not on me" she said brushing his hand off her arm. "Fine" he hissed and walked up to the counter.

The jackal released a laugh, " Come on babe what are you playing at don't you want some fun?" Reaching out his hands brushed across the top of her thighs. It wasn't his insulting words that offended her nor it was his tainted hands touching her, she who was a pure wolf. Instantaneously she she'd Anders shirt standing naked in the middle of the room before she attacked, fangs barred she went for him in her wolf form only to receive a sharp blow from the side. " The bitch, she's not one of us get the council in here now." Another jackal yelled. Growling she could see Anders at her side quickly grabbing his shirt. " We're going okay." He spoke quickly hands up in surrender. ' You'd surrender too such mutts?' A wince to her her head at he used his magic against her confirmed that. Traitor.
" Digusting Dogs I knew you brought trouble, leave this sanctuary at once." The woman hissed. Eyeing up Zeke and Trista as well her hands fell to her hips, " Get out animals like you do not belong here." Disgusted she watched as Devine stormed out of the sanctuary Anders quickly following suit " I'm hungry but." Sighing he finally noticed the two from earlier. A cat and hawk interesting combination too say in the least. " Welcome to the sanctuary, where people like us aren't really welcomed, no thanks to miss let's not wear clothes in public." Sighing he pulled the shirt over his head. " Sorry we got you kicked out."

Zeke was about to order some food and the next thing he noticed was a wolf in the middle of the place. He had to step back and cover his nose. Trista watched in amazement of the commotion and was enjoying it. It made her want to stretch her wings but before she could do anything Zeke was pulling her out of the building "And here we go again" Zeke mumbled. "Awe come on it was just getting good. Why do they have to be such asses" Trista complained as she skipped ahead a bit enjoying the wind in her hair.
"What ever. I didn't want to be in there anyways it was all Trista" he said nodding his head towards the girl that danced ahead of them. "So I know why the mutt was kicked out and I understand why Trista and I were kicked out, my fault on that part but why you?" Zeke turned to the kid that acknowledged them.

Devine growled low in her throat wanting to rip out the cats throat . ' I did nothing wrong.' Anders gave her a quick kick in the side. " Standing naked in a bar isn't good." With a sheepish smile he ran a hand through his hair. " She doesn't appreciate the mutt comment." Nor did he not that he'd voice that opinion. " I travel with her, they are my side but they no longer recognise me as one of theirs something about consorting with animals." That made Devine deliver him a sharp nip on the hand. " We're going to head out of town if your interested walking with us for a while?" He offered. Devine could just get over herself. " I figure we all want a meal anyway?"

Zeke chuckled and Trista danced back over to them "Don't mind him, he doesn't interact with others much...just me" she said giving a smile and Zeke rolled his eyes as she punched him in the arm. "A dog is a dog is a mutt she'll have to get use to that besides isn't her kind suppose to run in packs" he commented not really looking for an answer. Trista gave him a funny look "What" he asked but she just let it go. "You know Trista why don't you let us boys talk huh?" He said and she knew that was her cue. "Fine be that way but don't come running to me when you flip out" she said and danced off down a different direction.
"She's a great friend but she can nag nag nag" he said and not a moment later clothes were dropped on his head. Zeke only knelt down and picked them up and half way stuffed them into his back pocket. "So a meal then" Zeke inquired cause he knew for damn sure they wouldn't be getting one in this town. "Damn counsel thinking they are so mighty, hell they think that I'm a bloody liar about being a were...just cause I refuse to change for them" he rubbed the back of his neck. "How'd you two end up here anyways?"

Devine tensed not liking how smart the cat was. Why wasn't she in a pack, maybe because they wanted to kill her. Growling as Zeke continued to call her a mutt she brushed past him her eyes boring into him ' Watch your back cat.' She threatened. Not giving them a chance to yell she took off running at a fast pace.
" We were chased." He decided to give the half truth. " Im also a fox, the mutt comment not so nice besides I'm not insulting you." Smirking softly he began to walk, " There's a human town few hours away we can get food there only." Looking up at the sky and the directions Devine ran. " The girls will have to change..." Rubbing his temples he sighed. " Devine doesn't quite get the clothes thing either, today was the first time she's used her human form." hopefully he didn't call her an animal.

He smirked at her comment 'If only you knew' he thought hoping that she caught that but watched her run off anyways. He turned his attention to the kid "Trista knows that" he said not really elaborating on anything else. "Typical" he said at the kids explanation. "Well fox you are that bad to talk to and I would say I'm sorry about the mutt thing except I don't get very much kindness in return for what I am and I'm not just talking about being a cat mind you" he said running a hand through his hair. "But anyways..." he said quickly to change the subject. "I'm Zeke by the way" he held out his hand. He could have manners when he wanted to.
Trista kept a close eye on the boys as they talked and for once her wings were getting tired, it could have been from lack of sleep or something along those lines but she figured that she had giving the boys enough time to talk so she swooped down and gave a soft squawk for Zeke to hold out his arm. It took him a few seconds and she was debating out just landing on his head if he didn't put his arm out but at the last second he did. "What all tuckered out?" He questioned but she pecked at his head and he just laughed. "Well then I guess you ought to be extra careful with her then eh?" Zeke turned back to the kid "It's hard getting use to something different whether it's your animal form or human form. I know that one all too well"

Anders winced as Devine spoke hastily to him, " Devine said hurry up she's growing impatient waiting." As they caught up he saw her stretched out lazily on a rock. " Damned proud wolf." He commented. When she took off againhe reached up shaking Zeke's hand. " I'm Anders and that is Devine your also forgiven for calling me a mutt." Grinning he burried his hands into his pockets walking slowly, " So how does a hawk and yourself come to be companions he teased."
