Cobalt Island (One on One RP~ Readers Welcome!)
Introduction:
Your character(s) had or lived in Lahaina, Maui (Hawaii). Some of you received a scholarship invite to Archer Bay Academy (aka ABA). Archer Bay is a fairly new school but it's academics is the highest throughout Hawaii. Archer Bay is always looking for those with unique skills. It almost seems to good to be true. Some of you may come from a well off family while others barely have a dime into their name. Getting an invite to a high end private school brings up red flags. So, at first you might not consider joining until something at home pushes you in going.
When the characters first enter the school they meet in the assembly room/cafeteria to great one another for the first time. It's one of those systems to get new members of the school feel more welcome and possibly meet new friends who are just as clueless as they are. Once the greeting is over the new students get assigned to their dorm room. Some maybe paired up with a fellow newbie or one who has been at the academy for a long while. The dorms are located at the east wing which is the largest part of the school other than the sportsmanship building. Girls upstairs, boys downstairs.
For the first two weeks everything was going normal. Then things started to feel a bit off. The teachers began to act cold and distant, students slowly start to decrease as time goes on. The characters soon realize that there is something up. Eventually, they start looking into things. As they searched for clues to what is going the characters start to form a group. And this does not go unnoticed.
Terrible accidents began to occur. Objectives falling from out of nowhere, cars nearly running you over or being locked in the cafeteria freezer etc. A couple of months of fighting off attackers and near death experiences things go quiet once again. Just when we think they'll be able to have a break the dean plans their demise.
One afternoon the dean announces that he'll be drawing names of students. The winners will be going on a five month marine research boat trip across the Pacific and Atlantic ocean. He then calls out the names over the intercom to report to the office. Even though it seemed like a great opportunity the scary thing about it all those involved investigating the school were the ones who were called.
Without being able to say good-bye, everyone of the characters were forced to pack their belongings. Board the vessel the very next day. When they thought things would go south immediately they were shocked when just the opposite happens. For a while they learned a lot about marine life and other cool facts. This went on for several weeks when the obvious happens.
One morning the teens woke up to find that they are alone. The teachers, boat crew gone! While the teens searched the entire boat for any clues they come across a note left on the captain's cabin door. The letter was signed by the dean.To sum up the letter it pretty much states: the boat is on auto pilot leading them to their finale destination, Cobalt Island, if anyone attempts to disable it or turn the boat around it'll explode. It also tells then the room that was originally locked is open. There they'll find supplies. Not wanting to chance fate did what the letter told them.
A few days later the island came into view. When the boat crashed onto the shoreline the teens gathered up what they could carry onto the beach. Once everyone was off the boat and some distance away the boat explodes giving them no hope in returning home. Now they most find all means to survive the unknown. Even if it meant fighting those around them.

My Character: <--(link) Name: Silas Alexander Marusa Gender: Male Age: 17 Race: Silas is a strange mix between Native American, Japanese and Caucasian. Skin Color/Tone: Medium Tan. Hair and Style: Jet black, thick and straight. Hair length reaches his shoulders but he wears it in a pony tail, his bangs are slightly shorter. On the right side of his face he has two locks held by long, decorated by carvings, beads. The bangs that cover his forehead are just at eye-level. Eyes: Left eye is a golden yellow color (like a wolf's) and the right eye is blue. Weight and Height: Around 180lbs slender muscular built/ 5'10". Personality: Quiet for the most part, has a slight temper at times when people provoke him long enough or something irritates him, protective, observant, prefers the company of animals and lastly he's a bit of book worm and clever. Despite him being also a fighting delinquent type.
Background: Silas was born somewhere on a west coast, but the actual location is a mystery. Silas was raised by his father shortly after his mother passed away. They traveled from place to place so several years until his father remarried, when Silas was around ten years old. Things were going well for a few years. Until one day a fire took his father's and step-mother's lives. Silas almost died in that fire, luckily the scars left by the fire are barely noticeable. Since then he's been fearful of flames small or large doesn't matter. Silas then went into foster care. Do to his fighting nature life in each foster home is short lived. Soon Silas turned fourteen a grandfather he never heard of before appears from no where and takes him in. Turns out the guy is his mother's father. Since then Silas lived in Maui, Hawaii learning how to maintain a restore business for he is the soul heir to his grandfather's legacy. All this time Archer Bay Academy has been sending him invites, which he completely ignores. But when his grandfather got a hold of one he forces Silas to accept since ABA is one of the top schools in Hawaii.
Ability(s) and Other Skills: Since birth Silas has been a werewolf, not the ones that walk on their hind legs like human no he turns into your average wolf but one that is slightly larger than a Great Dane. He still has trouble controlling when he transforms but some how he still manages to keep his shape shifting ability a secret all theses years even from his father. Other than that Silas is good at fighting, cooks, does the laundry and also cleans. Oh and he can every sew. He's almost like your everyday house wife but more in a manly way lol.
MagicAndDance Character: Name: Esttin Cavali Gender: Female Age: 18 Race: Caucasian Skin Color/Tone: Fair skinned. Hair and Style: Long, straight blonde hair, generally in a high-band or flat Eyes: Dark Green Weight and Height: 61.24 kilograms/1.67 metres (135lbs/5'10") Personality: Esttin is a young woman, she is very bright and sweet. She is also very naïve and gullible, and so she can be lead astray easily, by anyone who means her harm. She is very trusting and doesn't see bad things in others, focusing on the bright side whenever she can. Esttin is also very stubborn, and refuses to give up things that are important to her, such as hope and a constant smile.
Background: Esttin came from a poorer family, but they rose in status because of luck and hard work on her parents side, she was 10 when they joined what was called the middle-class and she learned from their struggles. She remembers staying up, late at night, when her parents used to fight, and staying curled up in her bed, listening. She hates when they fought, and always tried to keep them happy, unmeaningly causing more tense in their relationship. Esstin never understood that their divorce was not her fault, and even when they took the chance to raise in status, she could not forget their arguments. For a few months after her parents had paid for a new house and a car, they didn't fight, and life at home was peaceful. Esstin hoped life would stay that way, but her hope was for a hopeless cause. Her parents divorce when she was 14, and her world seem to shatter and crumble around her. Her Mother moved out of the family's house, and Esttin followed her. She spent the next four years of her life travelling between her Mother and Father house, living with both of them. She did continue to succeed at her school and she continued to hope for a very good life.
Ability(s) and Other Skills: Esstin doesn't have many special skills. She knows how to bandage a few injuries and how to cheer others up. Her true skill lies in her ability to see the good in any situation or person. Esttin has the ability to bend energy to her will. Everything living has energy, and she can pull from that to create two whips, two ropes of energy usable for combat. The amount of energy drained from a person or thing is equal to the energy drained from her, so if she uses the same amount of energy she has in her body she will die. This energy only drains from her and others when it's used to do something. If she's using it as a display of power, it won't drain any energy, because all she does is funnel the existing energy into a large rope and allow others to see it. She is also threatened by emotion, if she has vulnerability when she uses her power, it's possible it can consume her, and it will fight and kill anything around her until everything is dead, or she is dead. The energy shows itself in a colour as she uses it, depending on where she draws it from.

Further Information: Archer Bay Academy: The school is a few years old, but the building is over 120 years old. Some features are renewed. Like plumbing, fixtures, extensions etc. The school is located in Lahaina, Hawaii. The original bedrooms where turned into dorms. Girls upstairs boys down stairs two per room, dorms are located at the east wing. The sporting area is much larger than the school. The academy sits on his own beach and the front gate hidden by the natural grown forest even finding the path can be difficult.
Cobalt Island: Tropical just like Hawaii, but has no volcanoes. Mostly covered by high top trees that you can find in the amazon jungles. A lot of the animals and plants are similar from both regions but many look like creatures from horror stories and myths. The salt water surrounding the island are invested with sharks. The island isn't listed on any map and yet isn't hidden by any mist/fog. The dean and staff had placed cameras around the island to record events (though they a hard time in doing so because of the locals). Why, no one knows for certain other than those who placed the cameras there.
Islanders: You would think they were would be savage like, like on TV. The islanders have a more modern behavior, just no technology. They are very secretive so aren't very open in helping out those who supposedly are stranded. They attack those who pose a threat but usually they just keep a watchful eye. Yet, just like most humans you have those who don't think but react do to past experiences.
Some Villages on Cobalt Island:Yahtuk is a small village that is surrounded by trees. Most of the homes are craved within the trees then built outward. Yaktuk is known as the old time village for the people there prefer to stick to tradition. The villages raise dogs, and messenger birds. They also great at hunting and basket weaving. For being so small and not having very many people Yahtuk tends to be hardly noticed. Though people from the other villages flock it in the spring/summer months for the views and cool water springs surrounding it. Liore is the largest village on Cobalt, it's also deals mostly with politics, education and handles most of the islands population. Liore is also known for it's bakeries, libraries and fashion sense.
Cobalt Island Creatures: Prowlers- werewolf like creatures but tailless, short hide legs, long sloth like arms with four inch claws, lastly they have a face of a nearly hairless bear. Most prowlers are grey or dark brown to blend into their surroundings. They spend most of their time prowling hence the name, once they find their prey they won't loose sight of it. Prowlers live in the mountain terrain and or anti-social unless it's breeding season. They normally come out at night for the sun is hard of their eyes, yet they are nearly blind at night so they relay on scent and hearing.
Jinxees- twin tailed fox like creature, they are slightly smaller than a cat. Shy little critters they are but friendly; they live underground or in tree holes close to the ground. Jinxees live in packs size varies from just five to over thirty. Jinxees prefer to come out during daylight but some mostly come out at night. They are usually light brown, white, or cream in color with white and/or black markings. They eat mice, birds, etc.
Raptors- predator birds, wings are bat like, they have razor sharp teeth, size of a full grown turkey, sharp claws on tips of wings and talons. They live in a flock of hundreds, up in the mountains. They hunt in parties or ten or more they are clumsy flyers but fast climbers. They hunt anytime of the day or night and they aren't very smart.
(Other than that the animals on the island are the same animals we see everyday. Such as horses, wolf/husky like dogs, parrots, owls, cows, pigs, chickens, and jungle like animals etc. P.S. I will add more info and/or characters later.)

Esttin smiled at Silas as he removed his head, and stood up. He seemed to have a sense of purpose, and his energy was alight, eager to do something. His energy still had that exotic air to it, a shimmering twisting mass of curiosities. She almost wanted to pull at it again, just to feel it's power. It didn't resist her pulling when she had used it, but it didn't bend to her will either. In fact, it did what it wanted to do, as though at any time it might just refuse to do what she wanted, even if she was at her full strength. It also had a voice, unlike other people's energies. She thought of energies in voices, because that was what she understood, but they sang, or hummed, rather than actually talking. She could understand their intentions and desires, as well as the implications behind those, which gave her a sense of voice without the actual sound.<br /> <br /> Silas's energy could speak. She hadn't heard it speak, but she knew it could. Esttin had no idea how she knew it could speak, it had not spoken to her or expressed itself in any way that indicated it could speak, but there was something inside of her that said it could. So, she knew it could.<br /> <br /> While she was preoccupied with thoughts of his energy, he had moved towards his bag, and begun pushing things aside, looking for something. She had no clue what he was looking for, but she figured it was important. Silas looked weird as a wolf. He acted, and most likely thought, like a human, with human emotions and human reactions, while he had the feral appearance of a large, black wolf. Esttin liked wolves, she thought they were beautiful creatures, but she hadn't ever meant to meet one, much less be friends with one. As she thought about friends, her mind shifted, to questions. Was his whole family like that? Did his parents know? Was he born a human or a wolf? She chose not to ask, knowing they could seem rude, but she was still curious. <br /> <br /> He disappeared behind a tree for a bit, and his energy seemed a bit drained, focused on one task, whatever that hidden task may be. When he stepped back out she understood, he was human again. And now that she got a second look, she could definitely tell he was a bit more feral than others, for lack of a better term. His body may have returned to normal, but he was different now, to Esttin. He was like her, separate, unique, alone, and strange. This made her happy, but also sad. She wouldn't wish her difference on anyone, and yet she was still overjoyed to have someone who understood, even if they were different in a totally opposite way.<br /> <br /> Almost as if he was embarrassed by something, he blushed. His cheeks darkened and his eyes dropped, so he wasn't looking at her. She almost wanted to giggle, but she didn't, instead she smiled, not in a mocking way, but in a happy way. He was cute when he blushed.<br /> <br /> "Yes, I'm just a bit tired." she said, grabbed onto the tree behind her as a support as she stood back up. She was a bit wobbly, and felt lightheaded, but after a few moments of blinking, it wore off. Esttin looked over at their attacker and frowned in concern. She could barely keep herself up, how would she help move him? She didn't want to put it all on Silas, he was likely tired from everything today too, turning back and forth from a human to a wolf couldn't be easy.<br /> <br /> "So what are we doing with him?" she asked, staring at the man in question. He handy moved or made any sign of waking up, but she was still wary. In her state, she couldn't fight without risking everything.

Silas couldn't help but give a little snort at the comment on being called a "dog". All was forgiven quickly even though the word stung. Esttin also asked what were going to do with the attacker. Silas felt like bury the guy six feet under though he was still alive. Esttin wouldn't go for it and he knows so for she seems to take things seriously, literately. Most girls are like that that. Serious and scary.<br /> <br /> Silas lifted his head off of Esttin wondering what he should do. His body was starting ache again. Most people when they think werewolf they always claim they heal just as fast as the Wolverine from X-men. Silas knows nothing about this Wolverine or X-men, but the way they talked about it, it would seem as though the guy can heal within just a few seconds of being shot. To him that sounds just a little over the top. His wounds will heal in the matter of just a few days. Depending how bad they are. <br /> <br /> Silas thought a bit longer before coming to a conclusion. The only thing he could think off instead of burying the guy. Drag him back to the school so they can call the cops on him. While he is still out cold. Silas stood up. When he did he felt quite light headed. His body swayed a little as he tried getting his footing. Soon he was able to walk he trotted over to his pile of torn up clothes. Among them was his bag. Digging for it Silas glanced back at Esttin then at the attacker. Letting her know to be ready if and when he wakes up. <br /> <br /> Once he found his bag Silas grabbed on of the stripes with his teeth before ducking behind a thicket of trees. It took little some effort to return back into his human form. Strangely it was pain, mostly his left arm and head. Once back to normal Silas slowly got dressed. Pulling a black sleeveless shirt, flip flaps since his boots were ruined and a pair of khakee shorts he normally worn at the beach. When he was finished he walked out from behind the trees examining his head and left arm. The blood had stopped thankfully and his arm might be broken. Remembering the fall he blushed from embarrassment for it was completely all his doing.<br /> <br /> He walked over to Esttin averting his eyes, hoping she won't noticed him being all flustered. "Are you able to walk at all?" He asked seeing her still sitting on the ground.

Esttin could feel the energies pressing around her, each curious at this new being. The attacker-man’s energy was scared, and urging Esttin to use it so it would be free. It called her name over and over, alternating between a whisper and a yell, doing its best to attract her attention. It was a bright yellow, fighting with the greens of the forest and the bright blue of Silas’s energy. The colours filled her vision, blocking out the outside world with their curiosity and eagerness. This was what happened when she was tired.<br /> <br /> The colours danced, as though participating in a circus. Their forms were abstract, twisting, turning, ballooning into bright spheres, and twisting into tight spirals. She was entranced by them, watching the way they pulsed and moved as their owners reacted to different things. The greens of the forest danced with the oranges and dark blues of the birds and other animals in the forest, while Silas’s energy seemed to dance by itself, in a strange and beautiful dance.<br /> <br /> Suddenly, a loud thump resonated through her mind, and Esttin snapped out of her daydream, focusing on the world and blocking out the energies. The man had fainted, and Silas, the wolf, looked tense, angry. Then his large head turned, followed by his body, as though someone pulled him by his nose with an invisible string.<br /> <br /> As he turned she noticed the rippling of fur, and his muscles shifting, revealing his strength and caused Esttin’s stomach to lurch. She remembered her thought from earlier, that she could easily beat him in a fight. Now, she wasn’t so sure. He had large teeth and claws, and his eyes, once so amazing, looked animal-like. But his energy remained the same, and she had identified why it was so strange. It had the intentions of a human’s energy, to be free and roam as it pleased, but the strength and foreign aspects of the animals she could never understand. She hoped that it wasn’t only his energy that had stayed the same, she certainly couldn’t fight him and risk losing her life.<br /> <br /> He started towards her and she watched as he changed, from a large menacing wolf, into a large, menacing puppy. He wagged his tail and looked happy, as happy as a huge wolf could look. He looked almost stupid, though Esttin would never say that, for fear he would eat her head or something, he definitely had a big mouth. She thought, briefly, about how much of a person he could eat in one bite, but tossed the thought aside as something she didn’t actually want to know.<br /> <br /> Eventually, he laid down beside her and put his head in her lap, essentially preventing her from getting up. She wasn’t bothered by being unable to get up, she wouldn’t have been able to get far if she was able to, she was tired. Actually, she was a bit hungry too, but pushed that thought aside in favour of a more pressing thought. Was he soft?<br /> <br /> She gently scratched his head and smiled, if a bit awkwardly at first, hoping he wouldn’t react badly and bite her hand. She was reminded of a day where she had gone to a reservation of animals. She had seen pictures of wolves and other canines, none of them stood over her, one or two might match her height on their hind legs, but she hadn’t seen any on their hind legs.<br /> <br /> “Silas, you are biggest dog I’ve ever seen.” She said, before glancing up at the man who had fainted, “What do we do with him?” she murmured, almost to herself. She didn’t know that he had fainted, maybe he had a heart attack or died somehow, and while Esttin was hopeful about a lot of things, there wasn’t much of a bright side to going to jail for murder.

Silas heard someone sitting heavily onto the ground from behind. He knew it was Esttin, he didn't look to see what was wrong for his concentration was more on figuring how to get rid of this attacker. For this guy was starting to get onto her nerves. Silas bared his teeth even more to show he was no push over. He took a step forward to lure the attacker into getting imitated by his move. If he wasn't already shaking in fear. <br /> <br /> Silas doesn't like fighting in this form. Sometimes he goes overboard with meaning too. He doesn't know his own strength. Dogs are typically stronger than humans, especially wolves. And since he's larger than you average Great Dane he's all the more dangerous. Silas tries to keep his emotions in check. When their go out of control so will he. Right now he is perfectly fine. Other than being annoyed. If the attacker provokes him the wrong way he just might take the guy's head off with one chomp. Though he never had to come to resorting too.<br /> <br /> Silas took another step closer, then another until he was almost nose to nose with the guy. The person stared in utter fear. Paralyzed by his fear. Silas opened his mouth acting as if he were going to rip to shreds. The attacker screamed in terror before passing out. Silas snorted satisfied with the results. He then turned around to face Esttin. Before approaching her he kicked up dirt with his back feet. Covering the unconscious person with dust in detest.<br /> <br /> After that was done he walked up to Esttin, his body all relaxed now that this was pretty much over. He panted happily wagging his lowered tailed slightly. Though this was embarrassing Silas figured she might not be frightened by him if he acted like this. He layed down soon he got close enough. Resting his muzzle onto her lap. Giving her the puppy eyed look telling her <i>"It's okay, I am friendly see!"</i>

First, Esttin heard the bang, and felt the force reverberate through her body. The way a person shakes when a loud drum is hit at just the right note. It was all she could hear the low rumbling of her energies. They weren’t hers though, they were the tree’s. She could feel the whips return to normal, humming happily, content in whatever state they were in.<br /> <br /> Then, she saw the leaves. It was as though someone had turned on a switch and all the leaves fell. They hadn’t been given a chance to have their colours change, so they were a deep green. She was reminded of a New Year celebration with her family, when her father tossed the little paper strips all about, and she spun around in a circle, enjoying feeling like she was in a snowfall, without feeling cold. The leaves did the same, the sunlight glittering off them in bright sparkles, and the multitudes of green filling her vision.<br /> <br /> She felt the energy loss suddenly, as though her body had just found out about it and was now reacting. Esttin released the energy, letting it flow back into the trees, and stumbled backward, walking into one of those trees. She couldn’t see correctly, it was as though a wavy glass panel had been put in front of her eyes, changing the way the world was, and distorting it, into a strange combination.<br /> <br /> She reached behind her and blinked continuously, shaking her head. She needed to focus. As she looked around, she noted a large blob, a black blob, in-between her and where she sent her whips. She couldn’t remember exactly what this blob was, but it was something that she should know. Esttin blinked once more, and rubbed her eyes, opening them to see Silas, the black blob, looking scary. At least, scary from behind.<br /> <br /> Esttin slowly sat down, hoping Silas had the fight under control. Her head hurt, her mouth was dry, and her limbs felt empty, heavy. She didn’t want to stand up, much less deal with a crazy man in the woods. In fact, if he wanted to kill her, as long as she could sleep, she wouldn’t mind. She sighed and set her head back against the rough bark of the tree, dimly trying to stay awake and keep tabs on what was going on.

Silas' whole body shivered after the transformation took place. He tried to shake off the tingly numbness that prevented him to move properly. He was glad to have gotten use to this. His body use to be in agonizing pain. Whenever he would take on another form. Thanks to all the years of being able to this he hardly notices the aches.<br /> <br /> Silas stared at the attacker while waiting for the numbing to go away. The attacker hasn't realized yet that Silas had took on another form. He was still dazed from being flung a few feet into the air. The hand that he smacked on the ground looked twisted. He really did a number on that one. Now to see if he would dumb enough to ruin his other hand. <br /> <br /> As the attacker stumbled to his feet Silas glanced back at Esttin. She wasn't looking his way. Probably avoiding doing so she wouldn't scream in terror. He didn't blame her. Just when he thought things wouldn't get worse. Esttin decides to go on the attack. The attacker was on his feet now. Staring blankly at the two of them. Esttin had her whips out again this time they were a deep green color. Just like the surrounding leaves. Silas wondered if somehow she was drawing her powers from them. And where she drew her powers from the first time he seen her use those whips. <br /> <br /> Esttin continued to charge at the attacker. Her whips were now in an X form aiming for his chest. Snapping out of it realizing he's being attacked the guy jumped to the side. Dodging her completely. Silas decided to join by stepping between Esttin and the attacker. Not wanting this to get more out of hand. Silas lips curled until you could see his teeth. He let out a deep growl while raising the fur along his spine. His tail stuck right up. The more fierce he looked the better chance of him not needing to harm the fellow in the end. He just hoped the guy would either faint or high tail it out of here.

Esttin felt a sigh of relief as Silas told her that he wouldn’t tell anyone. She was safe, and she didn’t know the man from before, so even if he told anyone, he couldn’t identify her by name. Silas continued on to say something, or at least start, before he was thrown to the ground by the man. Apparently, he hadn’t been as knocked out as she thought. <br /> <br /> <br /> Esttin reached frantically for any other energy than theirs, pulling from a person was dangerous, and to do it multiple times in one day was pushing her abilities. Not only that, but her mental state wasn’t in its peak right now. She pulled at the energy of the trees, but it took time, and with the excited energy of their attacker and Silas, she could barely concentrate.<br /> <br /> Her thoughts became clear for one moment when she heard a crack and a yell, not Silas’s voice. She turned to see the Silas perform some strange martial art move or something. Maybe he was a fighter? Esttin, distracted by this strange performance almost forgot that they were fighting, and she wasn’t in a dream. She was dazed, her use of the energy earlier had left her mind weakened, and unable to concentrate.<br /> <br /> Then the worst thing in the world happened. Silas started to change, hair sprouted across his body, his clothes tore, large, black ears unfurled on his head like daisies popping up for the spring sun. His bones shifted, snapping, cracking, and changing into grotesque forms. His knees cracked, and shifted position, so they bent backwards, similar to a dogs. His eyes stayed the same colour, but his nose changed, into a dog’s nose, stretching the skin on his face as it moved out, pulling out the way a person would pull a cork out of a bottle or jar. His mouth lengthened, and inside his mouth, his teeth sharpened, grew, into larger, pointed, canines.<br /> <br /> It wasn’t just his physical appearance that shifted in those few seconds, his energy spiked, changing from a low, constant hum, to a lower, deeper, more threatening vibration, similar to a very loud growl. It shook Esttin, and filled her head with its noise. Her teeth chattered, and her bones shook from the strength of the noise, until it suddenly cut off, and returned to its low hum.<br /> <br /> Though only seconds had passed since Silas was human, Esttin felt as if she had lived through years, the shifting of his form and his energy had taken a toll on her, she felt a headache coming on, and she was unable to tell if this was reality. Maybe, just maybe, it was a dream and she was safe in bed, waiting for the day to start.<br /> <br /> For some reason, Esttin doubted that.<br /> <br /> She felt the energy from the trees fill her body, willing her to use it. She knew she had to, whether this was a dream or not, she couldn’t just leave Silas to handle this man alone. He definitely knew what he was doing. So, she felt the handles’ weight, and then the familiar deep green glow of the whips as they appeared.<br /> <br /> The whips of the trees didn’t twist and swirl like Silas’s did, they moved slowly, and emitted a low vibration that shook the air around them. They didn’t seem to glow, but to emit their own light, which made them bright, and dark at the same time. They may have seemed scary to the average person, but Esttin found them comforting, she could use these whips without worrying about losing to the energy, it was too slow to take advantage of her, though that meant it was too slow to do much damage.<br /> <br /> She bit her lower lip, avoiding looking at Silas for fear of screaming, and brought her hands down in an x shape, towards the attacker’s chest.<br />
Just as expected Esttin screamed. But something happened that nearly caused Silas to stumble back down the slope. The blue lightning rods appears again. He could feel the energy draining from him again. He started connecting the dots. Every time that blue light appears his effects him.. or are they coming from him. He hopes this doesn't mean he has another strange power. Just then the light came hurdling towards him. Luckily it missed. Silas blocked his face as dirt and leaves swirled around him. Through the gap left by his arms Silas could barely make out a figure. A female figure.<br /> <br /> The blue light is Esttin's doing? Silas couldn't help thinking the word "cool!" Esttin lifted her arms up ready to take another swing. Her anger expression turned to one that said more oh no. She stopped herself from moving any further. The blue light slowly vanished, Silas stood a bit shocked by what he had seen. <br /> <br /> Esttin slumped down onto her bottom looking as if she just a horror film. The color of her face drained. Her eyes wide with panic. Her hair was a mess. Silas felt bad. Maybe he sacred her too much. Just then Esttin started talking. He almost had a hard time following for she was talking quick fast. From what he heard she was concerned about him telling others about her power. She was also worried about him being hurt and asking why did he growl and so. <br /> <br /> Silas knelt down in front of her reached up and patted her head with a non-bloodied hand. "Don't worry I am not the type of person to blab about other's secrets." He told her helping her up. "Your not the only one..." <br /> <br /> Silas didn't to finish for all a sudden someone tackled him. It the person from before. Silas skidded across the ground with the person holding onto him. Silas managed to hold his head so it wouldn't gain anymore damage but in the process his arm had gotten scrapped. He happened to catch a glimpse of the person face. The attacker's eyes were crazed with furry. <br /> <br /> Silas and the attacker struggled taking over one another. Silas head started to feel awfully light. Because of this he lost the fight. The person sat on top on Silas ready to throw the first punch. Soon the fist came down Silas dodge the hit causing the attacker to punch the dirt. Silas heard a crack. Then the attacker yelled in pain. He had broken a finger. Taking the chance Silas swung his legs around wrapping them around the guy's neck using the last of his strength Silas flipped the guy over. Silas didn't know what move he just used but it was effective. <br /> <br /> Now free from the person's weight Silas got up on his feet. His footing wasn't steady. His head wound was still bleeding so maybe it was the cause of blood lose. Silas' heart was pounding. Not from fear but from the thrill of the fight. Silas body started to ache again this time he recognized this sensation. His body was trying to morph. Silas clutched his hands into tight fists tensing his body. Trying to gain control over his body. He can feel his teeth sharping, the hair on his neck rising. It's no use. He was physically to weak to handle it this time. Well, at least he doesn't have to finish explain himself to Esttin. He might have too once he's back to normal.<br /> <br /> Silas relaxed himself freely letting the transformation take place. His body began to heat up, as his body took on another form. Bones and joints cracked. His cloths tore or slipped off as his took shape. It was a rather fast process. It takes only a few quick seconds for him to take on a completely different appearance. When it was done Silas shook off the rest of the tattered clothing. When he was finished he glanced over at Esttin wondering what she has to say now.

Esttin released Silas’s energy after a time, confident she was safe, for the time being. She continued to look around and call his name, without any answer. Maybe he wasn’t okay. She shifted, looking around worriedly, and calling his name again, unable to remember which way he fell. Where was he? She called his name once again, running her fingers through her hair even though it was in a hair tie, it pulled small strands out, and loosened the tie, causing large chunks of hair to fly about.<br /> <br /> All of a sudden she heard a growl, felt an energy presence near her, and her ankle was grabbed. The forest seemed to spin as she realised she was still in danger, and whatever it was had strength, and was growling, like an evil wild animal. Something was going to kill her. Oh god. She screamed, grabbed at Silas’s energy and spined, pulling her leg out of her attacker’s hand and swinging the whips at him. She was blind to what exactly was attacking her, but because of her movement, they missed, hitting the soft ground around him. As they hit the ground, a bunch of dead leaves and wet dirt flew into the air, causing a deep earthy scent to surround her and the attacker, and obscuring his face,<br /> <br /> She was about to launch another attack, ignoring the draining energy from hitting the ground. She raised her hands, his time able to aim for the right spot, and paused, seeing his face. It was Silas, her friend, and the one she was pulling energy from. She couldn’t attack Silas! She stopped her hands, avoiding draining anymore energy, and released it, taking a few steps back. He was bleeding, and she had almost made it worse.<br /> <br /> She was shocked. Why had he growled at her? Why did he sound like a beast? Did he see her ability? Was he okay? Was he going to kill her? Did he see her fight the man? Oh dear this was not good. He would not want to be friends with her anymore, or worse, he would tell everyone what he had seen. She just wanted to be normal! Esttin stumbled back, falling backwards onto her butt, with a look of horror and shock. She was shaking, and her eyes were starting to fill with water.<br /> <br /> “Silas, I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to…” she started, speaking quickly, rambling, even, “I mean, I shouldn’t have… I’m not crazy, I promise, and I just don’t want to… I mean no one has ever seen that from me. You can’t tell anyone and if you do that would be bad for both of us, mostly you because everyone would think you’re crazy and I really don’t want to not be friends, I mean you can just forget about this…” she continued to talk for a few minutes, following whatever track her mind might take.<br /> <br /> “Listen I don’t mean to scare you but the man that came out of nowhere and you tripped and I didn’t want to get hurt so I stopped him and I think he’s hurt and are you okay? Did I hurt you? I didn’t mean to hurt you I just was scared and you came out of nowhere and what was with that growl and oh my god you’re bleeding!” her rambling voice increased in speed and octave as she spoke, getting faster and higher. She was terrified and scared and didn’t want to hurt him but she was also a bit annoyed because he scared her! Who does that?<br /> <br /> Esttin’s eyes were wide, and by the time she finished her speech, she was crying, shaking, and mortified. Her hands were in fists, and her hair was coming out of its hair tie, flying everywhere in a frizzy mess. Her makeup was running, and even worse than it had been at home. Her mouth seemed to be stuck opening and closing like a fish, unable to form any other words, as though she had used all her words. She didn’t know what to say, in fact, she was scared, scared that Silas would be scared of her and scared that she would be lost in a forest with a creepy angry man who she hurt.

Silas doesn't recall ever loosing consciousness. He's body didn't want to move. The hit in the head might have caused some temporary paralysis. Silas attempted to move his fingers, they twitched which was a good sign the paralysis was wearing off. He blinked his eyes, moved his joints hoping to be able to get on his feet to help Esttin. The attacker might already be here. If he was the type of person Silas thought he was. Someone with high skills.<br /> <br /> His body ached all over from being numb. Silas managed to get on his hands and knees looking up the slope hoping to see Esttin's face. She wasn't there. Silas' heart took a heavy drop. Either she was looking to find a way down or the attacker got her. Just when things couldn't look more bleak Silas saww what looked like blue lightning scattering right above where he looking. Lightning? There's no way lightning could be this close to the ground. It's almost like a surge of energy just appeared out of no where. Somehow he felt connected to it, drawn to it. <br /> <br /> Without realizing it Silas was on his feet. Still peering at the strange light. Soon the blue energy vanished, oddly so did his strength returned. Then he heard his name being called. Took him a moment to recognized whose voice it was calling him. It was Esttin. He gave a weak smile happy that she was alright. <br /> <br /> Silas wiped away the dripping blood from his jaw. Head wounds bleed a lot so there's no telling how bad the wound is unless checked. Silas started to move. It would take too long to go completely around to find more leveled out ground. So, he climbed. He used tree roots and rocks as a ladder. Good thing, though half awake, that he has done this before. Finally after some effort he made. He pulled himself up over the edge by falling flat on his stomach. Silas was out of breath from feeling dizzy. Esttin was standing just inches away back turned. The way her body posture was she was concerned. Silas grinned mischievously. Reaching out Silas grabbed hold on Esttin's leg soon he did so he let out a growl. Not one of those growls you hear people normally do to imitate bears, lions, tigers etc. No his growl sounds legit. For he is a wolf through and through. Despite his human appearance.
