Uh before we start, can I add another character? And even though its not a species, its kinda a common occupation I felt would be useful plot wise.

Smuggler- Simply put, a human or creature that helps convicts escape persuacution and to somewhere the High Council rarely look. They are a dangerious job but some are very efficent at there jobs, the punishment is death if caught but you can normally tell how good one is by how long they've lived, though those are more expencive. They tipically have weapons capable of disasembling a Golem. They almost always charge money.

Full Name: Jacob Hawk
Name: Jacob
Age: 36
Gender: male
Species: Human (smuggler)
Breed:
Appearence: Wears tipical black and white clothes, red hair, and blue eyes.
Crush: Rose
Mate/ Spouse: none
Children/ Pups: none
Personality: A tipical smuggler, kind to creatures and humans but a good fighter and sly as a fox. He always charges but gives discounts to special cases, he considers Rose such because of his crush.
History: "I'll tell you later." (It will be revealed in the story)
Extra: He carries an rifle made to blow up rock to use against Golems.

Thanks, Cinder. We can start now. It will be right before Rose meets Travis. Godzilla - Jacob is accepted. And is it okay if Crusher is the one who finds Travis and Rose after she finds him?

Rose slammed a fist against the front door. She had, once again, tried to escape to the outside world. It had been so long since she was allowed to go outside. But, of course, it was locked by a key on both sides of the door. Rose restrained herself from screaming ib frustration as she paced around the small family room, hands folded behind her back. She hated this new world that they had been forced into. Rose sat down on the floor with a sigh. She crossed her arms, debating whether she would be able to knock down the door or not.

Lily looked out of the alley that she was currently hiding in. She was searching for any police officers, more like hunters. The clouds were dark and gray. It was going to thunderstorm that day. Good. The misty rain was easier to hid in. Lily looked at the destruction of the new world. All the building had been burnt down, only leaving ash behind. All new homes were built, cemen, garlic, and silver were their only components. Lily waited until she was sure the coast was clear before sprinting down the sidewalk.

Dayla sat at a wooden desk, papers of every convict on trial that day spread across it. About a dozen other jury members and desks were lined up next to hers, only broken by a metal gate that was the entrence to in front of them. The convict would stand there, facing the judge, as members of the jury would decide whether they were guilty of being a Dark Creature or not. Also on Dayla's desk were two stones, one made of silver the other of iron. These were used to decide whether or not someone was guily. They world hold on of the stones in their hand. If either of them burned, then they were immediately sentenced to death. Dayla picked up the paper of the next convict and read through it briefly. Travis Taylors: suspected vampire.

OOC: One more thing about Smugglers, they're normally equipped with weapons that can kill their clients incase their clients want to turn on them, which is reasonable. Also, Monolith doesn't have aa physical form yet but his soul is trying to contact Rose.

Crusher rose out of a patch of stone in Rose's house, holding a cleaned skull of a vampire. The patch of stone allowed Golems to enter their summoner's homes at will, seeing as Rose's mother was Crusher's summoner he could enter this house. "Hello Rose." he said, just being able to speak indicated a Golem of above avarage intellgence. He walked over to a wall were many other skulls were displayed on the wall and put the vampire skull in its place. He was the Chief of Police and also an Arena Exacutioner, this was the most popular form of exacution as he 'fought' the accused and crushed them to death in a gladiator style 'battle. Really this was very one sided as a unarmed Vampire or witch were little match for the 20 foot rock monster, he occasionally got to kill a Bloodwolf but werewolves, being harder to kill, were exacuted another way. "How are you today sister?" he asked, refering to her as sister because her mother summoned him.

OOC: I added that Gladiator style exacution to show how far humanities regressed to the point they find entertainment in such things. Also, yes its fine if Crusher discovers them, also could Jacob be the one to help Travis escape?

Rose... said a soft, barely aduable voice in Rose's ear.

May felt like screaming as she stared at the door. "This is a nightmare!" she told her sister, rage pounding through her. "You know, the least our parents could do is give us some company!" She crossed her arms and took deep breaths, attempting to calm heself. "Bad news, that in-out thing isn't working!"

Jackson was standing by a trashcan with hsi hood over his head. Maybe he could disguise himself. A human, however, spotted him and called out. "Shoot," he muttered, sprinting down the street. He rounded hte corner and ran smack into Lily.

Bill stopped when he heard the running feet stop. He looked on through narrowed eyes. Where had that monster gone? He ventured forwaard carefully, until someone else fromthe High Counsel called his name. He sighed, turned, and folloed htem back into the building. He walked into his wife's office and stood in the doorway. "Any news on the fugitive?" he asked.

Ooc:// Is Travis captured by them then for the timebeing?

Ooc:// Yes. He'll be going on trial soon, but Travis will have escaped by then. Jacob will help him escape if you want.

Bic:// Rose sighed at Crusher. "Not good. I feel liked a trapped animal or something. Can't you get us out? Just for a few minutes. Please." She looked at Crusher with pleading eyes, practically begging him for a bit of freedom. She was distracted by the moment for a second when she heard someone say her name. It sounded as if someone was whispering in her ear. She turned her head to look in that direction, but only saw May. She shook off the feeling that someone else was there and turned back to Crusher. "Please," she said again.

Lily let out a small dog-like yelp as she hit something hard. She was flung to the gorund. She immediately knew that whatever she ran into wasn't human. If they had been, Lily would have just knocked them aside without any effort. She looked across herself at the person she had just run into. The smell of him confirmed that he was a werewolf, one if her own kind. She picked herself up without looking at him, having no intentions of interacting with him at all.

Dayla didn't look away from the paper as she said, "We may have another vampire on our hands." She showed Bill the paper. "He'll be going on trial soon. He'll be long gone before sun set tonight." Dayla was so used to the exacution of Dark Creatures that she said all these things without the slightest emotion.

The Golem looked at her. He rubbed his head. "Well..." he said. "I guess I could take you to the Council Hall to watch the trails." he said. "But you MUST stay were I can see you." he said, his voice like a Drill Sargent. "Is that clear?"

Rose...this...wr... said the voice again. Re...or...bal...

OOC: Its not exactly clear what Mololith is saying because his soul is part way between the worlds.

A man was sneaking around the back of the prison area, peaking in for 'clients'. He spotted a vampire. "Hey." he whispered. "Hey bud, you want our of here?" he asked. "I can arrange that if you catch what I'm saying." he said, a Smuggler bold enough to actuelly ask prisoners in their cells was a sigh he was confiedent in his abilities. "I've got 15 years under my belt, I'll get you out for $30." he said, in these times, money was worth a lot more and that was actuelly a fair deal.

"wait!" May scrambled off hte couch. "Me too! can I go?" She shifted hopefully. "Please?"

Jackson got up swiftly. "Are you okay?" he asked. "Sorry about that, I was being chased and..." He looked behind him. "He's gone," he whispered. Shock radiated through him. Had his disguise been bought? As hsi disguise came ot mind, he realized his hood had fallen. He grbabed it and yanked it over his head.

Travis threw himself against teh bars one mroe time. It had ot work! it had to! Suddenly, it gave way and he tumbled out. Uh-oh. Guards. He bared his teeth, turned, and ran out a window. Ok, not his best idea. He had forgotton that he had been on the fith storie. Automatically, he tried ot sheild his fae with his arms, forgetting that it wouldn't matter. He hit the ground and elapt to his feet, shaken but unharmed. "I'll never get used to that," he muttered crossly. He broke into a run.

Bill shook hsi head and sighed. "Those thigns are incredible. They keep doubling in numbers." He clenched his fists. "I thought I saw one before I came but it must not have been one. Just some teenager." He heard the glass shatter and looked up. "What happened?"

"Yes, yes," Rose said to her sister. "Just hurry up." Rose went to the door, but before she could yank it open, a cold chill made its way thorugh her spine. She heard the voice again. It was not clear what it said, but to Rose it sounded like it was telling her to 'restore balance.' Well, if that was it, she had been trying. But the locked door had gotten in the way. Besides, what could she do now? Even with this short freedom, she was only one girl. As these thoughts crossed her mind, she yanked open the now unlocked door and motioned for May to go. She lingered on the thoughts of the voice for a second longer before walking out the door, too. "Thanks you, again, Crusher," Rose said as she walked up to him, taking in a large breathe of fresh air. It wasn't what it used to be, but it was still better than the stuffy air of the house.

Lily pursed her lips. "Yes, I'm fine," she said curtly. She tucked her thin jacket closer to her. She looked to the ground. It had been so long since she had seen another of her kind. Probably before this new hunt. She wasn't sure how to act around another werewolf. Times had changed so drasically.

Dayla stood up, also. "I don't know," she said. "But I know how to find out." She summoned Crusher, eager to know what had happened, but also worried that it wasn't going to be good news.

Ooc:// I wasn't sure how she would summon Crusher. Can she do it mentally?

"Great!" May ran after ehr sister. she got outside and held in a whoop. She was outside at last!! "this is great!" she sighed.

Travis raced downteh street. Had ot escape, ahd to escape! What had happened to the world?! it was a diffrent place, a nightmare. He turned a corner and kept running. his heart was pounding. He raced down the street and ran stragiht into Rose.

"I'm so sorry," Ajckson said again. "Uh.. you okay?" How was this supposed ot work? He tried ot remember the last time he spoke to another werewolf and foudn it mroe difficult than he expected. "I really didn't mean to hit you, some dude was chasing me."

Billw aited impatiently, though he tried to seem patient. "you calling Crusher?" he asked hopefully. Maybe then they'd have some answers.

OOC: Yes, mentally works.

"I'm sorry Rose, duty calls." said Crusher. "Get back in the house." he said, diving into the rock in the earth and reemerging out of a rock in the Council chamber. He bowed to his master. "What is it my lady?" he said, unknowingly missing the reason he was summoned by minutes.

Jacob ran up beside Travis. "Will you please listine!" he said. "I'm a Smuggler, and a darn good one I might add, I want to help you." he said. He noticed Rose and stopped. "Hi...I'm Jacob, forget I just said I was a Smuggler."

Hel...vam...ire. said the voice again.
