Title: Hidden in Shadows
Post by: Sol on December 07, 2010, 02:40:49 AM
Follow my lead, and try to leave the end open to add on to, but from your side of the story.

The woods were closing in. The damp musky air filled the trees, masking everyone, and everything, around it. A twig snapped as he ran.
Faster and Faster, he dashed between bushes and barley missed the underbrush beneath him, filled with thorns that could tear the skin as a blade.
It was closing in, it was too late.
When suddenl-"WAP WAP WAP WAP WAP"

*ugh* Sol raised his head an inch, which was just enough to make out the 5:40 time that was flashing on his alarm clock.
Slowly and reluctantly he extended his hand and it fell upon the snooze button. "its gonna be a long day," he said.
---
This was his first year of school, in Sarum at least. Due to some, unexpected occurrences Sol's family had moved out of the area and he had to begin anew. In his junior year already, he was lucky enough to forget his old friends let alone make some. As he walked to the front steps of McAlester High he knew it couldn't get worse than this.

But sadly he was wrong.

max stood completely still, grasscutter in hand, a target swung at him and was quickly cut in half as the sun rose over the horizon. he walked inside the silent house as a small clock struck 5:30. he went into his room and sleeping till his clock told him to get up for school.

hours later max walked up the steps of the school, noticing a new kid he smiled under a large dark red scarf that hid a large collar. "hay, you new here?" he said walking up behind the stranger.

Nic was standing outside of the school, drinking his morning cup of tea. He was glad that he had a free period in the morning so that he had the privilege of riving late. While standing there, he saw Nina running into the building, and laughed a bit to himself.
"Hm, I guess her alarm clock failed her again."
By the time he finished his tea, the first period was over, and the bell had rung. He picked up has sling-bag off the ground, and began to walk into the building.

Sol walked into the classroom with max. Finding a seat near the back windows, he quickly made himself at home. "yea," he said, "well... lets just say its not the best place to live. I try to block most of what i remember about it. Its just, creepy."
"anyways, anything weird going on around here?"
Title: Re: Hidden in Shadows
Post by: serpington on December 07, 2010, 08:47:02 PM
"not at the moment, but every now and then something happens up at the labs and things start to get weird, but most of the locals know how to handle when something goes wrong." max sat down next to sol at the back of the room, he looked out the window and saw Nina running up the stairs.
Title: Re: Hidden in Shadows
Post by: Sol on December 07, 2010, 09:01:25 PM
'wait...labs? What could they,' he began to think to himself, but quicly dismissed it. Sol knew he would not wind up in another situation ever again, so he forgot the thought and concentraited once again on the akward class before him. 'calm down,' he thought 'its not weird here its normal, just like everywhere else.'

"so," he said to max "anyone else worth meeting here?"
Title: Re: Hidden in Shadows
Post by: serpington on December 07, 2010, 09:04:44 PM
"yea, Nina is on her way in now." he said not really paying attention, he was more focused on the smoke bellowing over the trees in the distance.

Nic walks into the room and hands the teacher a note.
"Mister Nic, what exactly are you doing in here? I thought you had late privileges?" The teacher gave him a hard look.
"Well, you know me. I'm always looking to teach a teacher how to do their job."
At that the two laughed and shook paws. "Nah, I just had no where really to be, so I figured I'd pop in and watch you do your magic. I'll just sit myself in the back."
Nic walks toward the back and notices a seat next to two others, and sits down, placing his pack behind him.
"Hey, Max, who's the new kid?"
Title: Re: Hidden in Shadows
Post by: Nrein on December 07, 2010, 10:09:44 PM
Nic takes a look at Nina.
"How is it that you came in before me, but managed to get to class after me?"
He sticks his tongue out at her, knowing that she always hated when he picked on her for being late.
Title: Re: Hidden in Shadows
Post by: Sol on December 07, 2010, 10:15:52 PM
He grabbed her paw "Hi nina," Sol said happily enjoying the new attention. "im Sol, its nice to meet ya"
After aknowledging Nina he looked over at Nic and said jokeingly "wwwweeeellllllllllllllllllllllllllll, looks like we got a teachers pet"
Title: Re: Hidden in Shadows
Post by: Nrein on December 07, 2010, 10:21:14 PM
Nic looks at Sol and can tell it's a joke.
"Hey now! It's not my fault we know each other so well. He and my dad were good friends way back, and this year he kinda helped me on my feet when my parents passed."
He fiddles with something in his pocket and pulls out a little card.
"My names Nic. Here, take this, it's my card. Had them made back when I was doing professional photography. If you ever need something, just get a hold of me there..." He points to the address, "...or call me on that." He points to the phone number. "Always glad to help out anyone!"

*high fives Nina* "wow," he said "looks like you guys take these classes seriously." he grinned, adding a slight hint of sarcasm in his voice. 3 great new people (presumably friends) and he'd only been in class for 20 minutes! He was beside himself. "Max, did you hea-, hey you ok?" Max was staring absent mindedly out the window. Sol turned in it's direction, and saw the pillar of smoke rising through the clouds. "please tell me that's normal" he said 
Title: Re: Hidden in Shadows
Post by: serpington on December 08, 2010, 05:16:01 AM
"oh, the smoke.......just means they failed at their newest test. nothing to out of the ordinary. looks like your well adjusted." max smiled turning away from the window and looking towards his three friends. "hope no one we know was up there......."

"I remember when they finally finished the labs," Nic said. "My dad helped with the project, though he was against it. Said that it would bring jobs, but take up a lot of land that could've been used for homes. Not to mention, the smoke isn't a great sight to see when you wake up. My old man was actually helping them with an experiment, before he died. Made a lot of money off of it, and they tried to get me on board with it afterword. But, I don't really want anything to do with it."
Title: Re: Hidden in Shadows
Post by: Sol on December 08, 2010, 10:22:53 PM
Sol, quite taken back says, "wow, that cant be good. know anything about what they were doing?" Sol realised that this town was His kind of, "Normal."
Class ended and the bell rang, When suddenly...
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" (<--girly scream)
Was muffled through the door.
"WHAT THE?" the group of four jumped back as the scream caught them off guard.
Title: Re: Hidden in Shadows
Post by: Nrein on December 08, 2010, 10:26:41 PM
Nic, sounding somewhat startled says, "As much as I would like to keep talking about this, I think it's for another time. We'd better check on what's going on."
Without grabbing his pack, he fast-walked out of the room, almost forgetting to give his best wishes to Mr.Ross. "Come on guys," he said, looking back at the other three.
Title: Re: Hidden in Shadows
Post by: serpington on December 08, 2010, 10:38:16 PM
max just got up and grabbed Nic's things aswel as his own. "even so we better check on it. remember the luminescent spiders?" he said with a serious look to his face before following Nic out of the room.
Title: Re: Hidden in Shadows
Post by: Sol on December 08, 2010, 11:08:03 PM
"luminescent spiders?" he thought, "ok really WHAT IS GOING ON???"
Picking his things up and following the others they made their way out into the hallway. Crowded with chaos and confusion the nudged their way to the front of the pack. "What The?!?" exclamed Sol.
Looking down from the astonished faces he saw what appeared to be a trail, of what he could not say, but its color was hinted with maroon.
Title: Re: Hidden in Shadows
Post by: Sol on December 08, 2010, 11:16:55 PM
Sol was freaking out right now. Blood? What, was someone killed on my first day? "should we follow it?" He asked the group of uneasy furs.
Title: Re: Hidden in Shadows
Post by: Nrein on December 08, 2010, 11:25:49 PM
Nic was paying attention to everyone throughout the chaos, and stood in the middle of the pack and rose his voice, "Listen up everyone, get to your classes, there's nothing else to be bothering with here."
He ushered out everyone that tried to remain, minus the three of his friends. "Of course I pick the one senior-skip day to actually show up to school... come on, follow me."
He slowly started following the trail, pulling out his small knife. "Better be safe then sorry, eh?"
Title: Re: Hidden in Shadows
Post by: Sol on December 09, 2010, 12:54:10 AM
knives, sol thought, should i tell him its a waste? nah i dont wanna seem like a freak. "alright then lets go"
they begin to follow the trail which seems to lead to the entrance of the school
*what sounds like papers, shuffle*
"Hm?..." Sol glanced backwards, expecting to hear another scream. No sound could be heard, so they continued along the trail.
All still on edge and tense.

(after this plays out im gonna time warp to the next day)

"and to think you thought it was going to be nothing." serp whispered to Nina. he walked behind the group following the trail of blood. "and sol, i thought you would have asked about the spiders by now." he commented trying to release some of the tension of the moment.
Title: Re: Hidden in Shadows
Post by: Sol on December 09, 2010, 11:41:40 AM
"When you come from Crane you learn not to ask questions." Said sol, "but i mean really, is this stuff considered normal here?"
They followed the trail out of the school leading to the edge of the town. The trail entered the woods, "wait, what is that?" a figure stood seemingly in the shadows. "Hey you! Come here!" Sol shouted as he began to chase the creature.
Title: Re: Hidden in Shadows
Post by: serpington on December 09, 2010, 12:04:30 PM
"once you see a clear spider that changes from fluresent color to fluresent color when in the dark, not much suprises you. if you want you can see some later, i kept a few as pets." he said just before sol saw the figure in the dark. he walked closer to get a better look.
Title: Re: Hidden in Shadows
Post by: Nrein on December 09, 2010, 07:55:26 PM
Nic was following right behind Sol, blindly since he didn't exactly catch a glimpse of what he saw.
Title: Re: Hidden in Shadows
Post by: Sol on December 10, 2010, 02:02:11 AM
They emerged into the clearing where the trail ended.
"OH MY GOD" shouted Sol, as he looked upon in horror at the sight before him.
Blood was every where and he was more terrifyed then he had ever been.


(hey you guys decide what it is Body, bones, evil thing, etc.)
Title: Re: Hidden in Shadows
Post by: Sol on December 12, 2010, 03:54:17 AM
And in the middle of the blood filled pile was a hand, still bleeding from the inside.
(furry jesus-->) "Jebus christ!" shouted sol, terrified out of his mind.
Then, he saw it again. the creature was moving behind the trees, drawing
closer
and closer
it began to mesmarise Sol into a daze he was losing control of his mind, and then it stopped.
It was on Nick!
Title: Re: Hidden in Shadows
Post by: Nrein on December 12, 2010, 04:07:54 AM
Nic, while stumbling around, clawed at the creature, trying to lose it.
"What in the heck is this thing?!" he yelled, grabbing hold of it and trying to rip it off.
"Can someone give me a paw with this thing!?"
Title: Re: Hidden in Shadows
Post by: Nrein on December 13, 2010, 04:31:49 AM
Nic fell to the ground, seeming to of been practically stunned by the creature being attacked while on him, laying there almost motionless.
He then sat himself up and pushed himself away from what ever it was that had attacked him. "Um, guys. I feel kind of, odd now..."
Title: Re: Hidden in Shadows
Post by: serpington on December 13, 2010, 10:19:27 AM
"well that was interesting.....um that thing is still moving....." max said helping Nic up. "so what now?"
Title: Re: Hidden in Shadows
Post by: Nrein on December 14, 2010, 11:36:12 PM
"Oh, I have a plan for this..." As Nic was speaking, a beeping came from his pocket. He pulled out his phone and read to himself a message.
"Um... well now, that changes everything." He placed the phone back in his pocket, and adjusted himself. "Look, I gotta get going, as much as I'd like to figure out what exactly this thing is. If you guys find anything out, I'll be at my place. Oh, and I won't be in school tomorrow, taking a "sick day"." He proceeded to walk off, giving a short wave goodbye, but still giving a glance to whatever it was that had attacked him.
Title: Re: Hidden in Shadows
Post by: serpington on December 14, 2010, 11:47:43 PM
"bye then." max said watching Nic leave "sooo....any ideas? cos we cant just leave this thing here, if you two help me get this thing back to my place i could contain it for a while. i think...." he poked the thing with a long stick while talking.

A tiny feral silver and black fennecat raced through the trees, her heart pounding.
"Kiagre!" she called at the top of her lungs. There was no answer. She kept running, her oversized ears flattened to her skull. Suddenly an awful gut-wrenching smell filled her nose, and she slid to a stop. She was at the edge of a clearing. She spotted two furs, a pile of bones on a pool of blood, and a creature she'd never seen before which seemed to be unconscious. Her eyes fastened on the gruesome hand on top of the pile, and she nearly threw up.
