Rose looked between Griffin and Jamie as they argued, not wanting to get in the middle of the fight but also not wanting them to continue this. She really wanted the two of them to get along. She wanted Jamie to like Griffin for reasons that Rose couldn't be sure of. She supposed that it was because she had no intention of letting either of them out of her sight for the next few days, so she really needed them to get along.

When they finally left, Rose held tightly to Jamie's hand as they sensation of running at impossible speeds filled her again. She turned to Griffin, glad he was by her side again. "Yeah, I'm fine," she said with a smile. "I think I'm starting to get used to this," she joked. She knew that she would have to get used to traveling this way if she was to stay with Griffin and Jamie. She would much rather be with the two of them on the run than be "safe" with the Council.

Rose looked away from Griffin at this thought. She knew that she would never be safe with the Council again. They had seen her escape with Griffin. She is a convict, the same as he. She felt guilty for not yet admitting to him that she was not safe from the death penality. There was more hope for her because of her parents, but she most likely would be killed along with Griffin and Jamie. She wanted to tell Griffin the truth, but she knew that would only cause him more worry.

Ooc:// I think we should definately bring them in soon. I'm having trouble writing a good post with only one character. If you want, Devin and Cale could be traveling together, but Haley will still be on her own until she comes across the others. As for Kendra and Tanya, maybe they can be sisters or counsins or something? They kind of look alike in the pictures.

OOC: I'm sorry, I'm a bit stuck on what to post XD Can you please let me know a few things before I do post? ^^ And I'll say a few things too. Mk... the Tanya and Kendra being sisters I think is an AWESOME twist! Cale and Devin can be together when they come across the vamps and then Haley will come later... Would it be alright if Cale and Devin come in now? (like in the next few posts?) And one more thing. I was re-reading the werewolf description. So there are three nights where the moon appears full and they turn? And then any other time they're just abnormally powerful humans and can change certain parts of their body at various times? (I just wanna get it straight before we RP with the werewolves haha)

Ooc:// I think that Cale and Devin should come in soon. I'll have Haley arrive soon after (probably two or three posts after Devin and Cale join the group). And I'll explain the werewolf description in more detail. Werewolves appear human most of the time, but they are more powerful (faster, stronger, ect...). During the day, they can change certain body parts to appear more wolf. For example, their nails can alongate and dark into claws; their canines can grew into fangs (thicker and more animal-like than vampire fangs). Whenever this happens, it is usually for defense or because they are very angry or agitated. Also, when this happens, their eyes usually change to golden wolf eyes which symbolizes the wolf inside them coming to the surface and taking slight control. They cannot fully change into their wolf form during the day, but can resemble their anthro form (Kinda like this but with less bodily fur or kinda like the wolfman). During the New Moon, they can do the same as they can during the dau, but cannot change fully into a wolf. During the three nights of the Full Moon, the werewolf must change, but most go willingly. The more a werewolf resists the change, the more painful it is during the shift.

I hope the answers all your questions. If not, just ask. (I've put a lot of through into this because of my book)

EDIT

Found another visual for the anthro form: http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=werewolf&order=9&offset=24#/d1bt6gk

AND another: http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=werewolf&order=9&offset=72#/di9xzd

OOC: Mk then I think that pretty much covers my questions haha. So when will this timeline be? Can you tell me whenever you want the first full moon to be? (Just so I know) Oh and one more question (lol sorry XD): can they change any other night or only the nights of the full moon? And btw, I'm giving Griffin a color like the others so we don't get confused on the 'oocs' or when I'm saying something general in the RP that applies to all the chars instead of a specific one xD I'm making it very close to black, though, so it isn't a dramatic change ;]

The three seemed to be making good time and in barely any they were back in the forest. Griffin puffed out a breath and looked behind him. "Looks like they're gone for now." He turned back to Rose and Jamie and then looked up. He didn't exactly know why, but for some reason he did. As he did, Jamie spoke up.

"So what to we do now?" She asked, her voice clearly a lot less agitated then before. By now she had let go of Rose's hand, but as the bushes near them began to shake, Jamie grasped her friend's hand once more. "What is that?" Her voice now seemed to be shaking itself.

Devin peered through the brush, knowing something was off. People never walked through this part of the woods... why would they now? At this time of day? He growled silently to himself. What was it about them that he didn't like, right off the bat? When he thought about it, he could finally tell. His eyes became as small as slits as he recognized the pure hate he felt for the two seemingly humans but for the third he could not feel. Vampires. As he transformed his human-like nose to his canine one, he could suddenly smell their scent through his nostrils. It almost burned his nose. "Ugh..." he whispered. But he couldn't seem to smell that odor from the third one. She seemed human. He tilted his head as he switched his nose back to the more dull sensing one that looked a whole lot more human. "What's going on?" Devin shouted as he came out of the green.

Griffin widened his eyes the second he smelled the scent coming from the seemingly normal human. "Get away!" He hissed. "Get out!"

Devin growled under his breath. He turned back to where Cale was and looked back at the vampires. "Make me." His eyes pierced through Griffin.

The male vampire couldn't seem to help himself from a fight. Rose hadn't been in his vision for a while, so he hadn't really been reminded of why he stopped trying to act how he used to. As a matter of fact, in this moment, he didn't even remember anyone was there but him. He hissed louder as he came forward at the werewolf. At first it was a slow movement, but as Devin advanced faster, so did he. "You'll regret this." His eyes were piercing as well.

Devin wouldn't lower his guard. "Oh, I'll take my chances," he mocked.

It wasn't long before the two were in a major fight. Both had back-ups, but neither Rose or Jamie probably wouldn't get involved and for the time being, Devin wasn't sure if Cale would either. The fight was in full swing, and neither opponent was backing down. It was going to turn fatal in less than a moment. Both sides were bleeding in various spots and it wasn't helping the situation any. If it wasn't stopped soon, things would turn out badly for both the vampires and werewolves.

Ooc:// Yes, they can change any night except when it is a full moon. It's the moon that changes them, which is why they can't fully change during the day. But during the night, they can do basically anything but they don't have to. The urge is always there though (kind of how the thirst is always there for a vampire). Also, I'll give Rose a color too. And bring in Haley now instead of later.

"Griffin!" Rose shouted as he lunged at the dark-haired boy who looked perfectly human to Rose until they began to fight. She spotted the tint of gold in the boy's eyes. Griffin had called him a werewolf, yet another supernatural creature to find its way to her. Maybe she just attracted that kind of guy.

Rose went to rush into the fight, not thinking clearly, but she was held back by the grip that Jamie had on her hand. She turned back to face her friend. "Can't we do something?!" she asked with panic.

Cale leapt up from his lounging in the bushes, taking the scene in for a moment before running towards the site. His eyes tingled slightyly from the change is color and his pupils expanding, making his eyes look nearly black with only a small line of gold. He paused for a moment in front of the vampire and the human girl, hunched over and probably looking like a monster to the human. When the female vampire did not make a move at him, Cale ran head-first into the brawl going on between Devin and the male vampire. He was able to pin the vampire just long enough to really get his thick, black claws into the vampire's tough skin. A fight between a vampire and werewolf was normally fair, but Cale and Devin had teamwork on their side.

Rose loosened herself from Jamie's grip and ran towards the scrable. Something came out of nowhere, though, and knocked her back many feet away from them.

Haley lifted herself off of the stupid human girl and offered a hand to help her up. "You must have some sort of death wish if you want to get involved in that." She nodded her head back to indicate the fight. "It's how the boys blow off steam. Just let them go."

Rose rufused the new girl's hand and lifted herself up on her own. She was about to try and rush past the intruder, but she thought that she didn't really have much of a chance getting by. "But they're going to kill each other!" Rose snapped at the new girl.

"Oh, they just probably got on each other's nerve. They'll cool down in a second. Wolves don't kill wolves, not in this period of time," Haley replied, not realizing that one of the males was actually a vampire. The scent finally hit her dull human senses, and she turned on the dark haired female, her teeth in fangs and her eyes yellow. She growled at the female vampire just as she turned her head towards the males, scenting the air with her canine nose. Her eyes locked on the blond male that she knew to be the vampire of the group. She turned her attention back to the female vampire. "What is going on here!" she demanded, resisting the urge to lunge at the vampire.

Jamie got up slowly, not entirely sure if Hayley would be coming back or not. When she finally tried to stop the fight, though, Jamie decided to stand up fully and maybe even trust the were a bit. After all, if she had been out to do nothing but kill them, why would she have thrown away her chance and stopped? "Thanks... uh..." Jamie laughed quietly, trying to bring up the mood of the situation. "I don't know your names."

Devin was surprised at the question. Why were these vampires being so nice? He couldn't comprehend it. Vampires weren't nice. They didn't have good in them. He couldn't see why they were able to do that now unless they were pretending. Although, if they really had intentions of killing, they wouldn't have stopped fighitng now that they had let their guard down. Devin was about to suck his claws and teeth back in and make his eyes turn their normal color when he saw Griffin and narrowed his eyes. He wasn't sure if the vampire was okay. He seemed to be breathing very hard. To make it look like he wasn't paying so much attention, though, he answered, "Devin."

Griffin had been standing still for the most part, not sure what to do. Jamie seemed to be trying to play the role of the nice vampire but this vampire didn't do that. He wouldn't be entirely nice until he knew he could trust them. That took a lot of earning, though. So it'd be a while before the whole group could get off of thin ice. He answered quickly, quietly, and a bit rougher than he usually talked: "Griffin."

Everyone turned, though, when he said his name because that was the natural reaction. What they saw, though, was also a natural reaction. Though, they couldn't have known it at first.

Griffin began to shake a bit as Rose came next to him. He could smell not only his only blood, which didn't really stir him, and everyone else's, which weren't a big deal either, but now he could smell hers. It was intoxicating his nose. He had just drinken blood not too long ago, but with her being so close and the blood filling his nose so much, it was the most difficult thing you'd ever imagine for him to not snap. It was about to happen, though, and he knew it. "Rose, I love you, but please. Step back a bit until I can handle it." His voice was extremely gentle, but shaky as well. You could tell he was in a lot of distress, trying to stay away as much as possible. He made a step forward, but his body wouldn't allow it. It wanted him to edge closer. Griffin couldn't move, and as he realized it, his fangs came out again. They were slowly and slowly growing out, becoming razor sharp. "No, please.." He whispered. "Rose, go over to the weres! Please!" He begged.

Devin was shocked at what this vampire was doing. Was he trying to resist the natural urge to kill her? What a spectacular scene. He had never been a witness to something like this in his life. "What are you saying, vampire?"

Griffin gave him a cold, hard look, but it turned softer as he spoke. "You should be able to tell easy enough, Devin."

Devin was surprised to hear that the vampire called him by his name. Why would he do that? His guard went down even further. He wanted to get to know these vampires, in a way. "What are you going to do then? We should get her cleaned up."

Griffin nodded gravely. "If you don't, she'll be in a lot of danger."

Griffin didn't really seem to relax that much even as Rose went towards the werewolves. He knew he could probably trust Haley since she tried to stop the fight and was acting so friendly (even though he also knew that could have been a trick, he decided to overlook the fact), but he was still shaking because the blood was as prominant as ever. He couldn't seem to get the scent out of the way of his thinking. He moved a few steps further away, but he still couldn't get it out. He grasped his head with both hands and bent down on the forest floor. He grunted in what sounded like struggle and then he let go to get up.

Devin was amazed at the will power this vampire was trying to muster. He really had nothing to say or do. He didn't fully trust these vampires yet, but something told him he would soon.

Jamie tried to edge closer to Griffin, tried to help him, but she was having trouble doing so. Griffin wasn't the only one who could smell Rose's blood. Jamie was having even more trouble controlling herself, but for some reason, thinking of other things helped calm her down. Besides, she was used to going through long periouds without blood. This wasn't really that different. Griffin on the other hand? She wasn't sure he was so lucky.

Griffin had spent his whole life killing without mercy, getting revenge without stopping, and never caring about anyone but himself. With Rose in the picture all of that was starting to change. Not only was he trying to change his whole outlook on others, humans, vampires, and werewolves alike, but he was having to give up his constant hunts for blood. He was used to going out whenever he felt like it and killing someone just for the rich, warm liquid inside them. Now he was having to stop doing that because of his feelings for Rose. Well.. the truth of the matter was that he didn't have to stop, but for some reason he felt a longing to please Rose. He wanted nothing more than to make her happy, or at least to make sure she was safe. This was the most major battle he had inside him. All the things he had done in his past were conflicting with what he wanted to do in the future. It was a bitter battle that probably wouldn't end well for him. And if it didn't end well for him who knew if it would end well for anyone else either...
