'Chapter 1'
You'd think after 6 months of looking for me and not finding head nor hair of me that they would stop, but NO. They keep looking for me. I guess that I should probably explain my current situation, hmmm?
Well my name is Faline (meaning 'Like a Cat'. Ironic really.) De Mont; I have black mid-thigh length hair yellow catlike eyes and get this…Black Cat ears and tail. Now I bet your thinking 'What the hell is she on?' but sadly it's true I have Cat ears and a tail. Oh and if your wondering I got all these cool ass powers to boot to. I have really long nails that are virtually unbreakable, I can see in the dark, I am very flexible, I can hear things over long distances, I can run extremely fast, I can jump really really high, and I have nifty powers of thunder and lightning.
Think it's fun, umm…how about NO!
'I hate rain, I really, really hate rain!' Faline thought walking through a London street devoid of life.
Pulling her long black cloak even closer she let out her cat like ears. Faline allowed her sharp cat like senses take over and the sounds around her magnified. Faline could hear the rain slapping against the cold ground and roofs around her, she could hear the creaking of the trees, the soft moaning of the wind and the soft murmuring of people behind closed doors. Then she heard it, the loud whip-like cracks of people materializing out of thin air. Faline didn't even have to turn around to know who they were, she already knew. She continued to walk casually down the street aware that they were following her every move, turning at a corner Faline got a good look out of the corner of her eye, there were 5 of them, 4 men and a woman. Quickly and silently Faline jumped to the top of a building and waited for them. Faline allowed her tail out, her eyes to become slit like and her nails to grow. The five adopted looks of confusion when they saw the street empty. Faline clicked her tongue.
"Were you looking for me?" she said suddenly.
The five of them looked up only to see Faline jump from the top of the building and rake her nails across one man's back.
She quickly delivered a roundhouse kick to two others, sending them flying into the wall a building. Quickly throwing two daggers Faline hit them in the chest and they stopped moving, finally whipping around she slashed the fourth one's neck. A soft whimper caught her ear there was one left it was a younger girl. The hood of her cloak had fallen back revealing her wide eyes and frightened face.
"How pathetic he sends a child." Faline said walking to stand in front of the girl "Tell that pathetic loser that I won't join him and that if he was serious he wouldn't send a child, I don't kill innocent children only murderers!" Faline turned away from the girl.
There was a pop and the girl vanished, sighing Faline went to leave but the sounds of whip cracks caused her to stop.
"Why can't you people leave me alone?" Faline said quietly looking at a small group of people.
Without saying a word Faline leapt up into the air and landed again on the roof of a building
"WAIT!" a voice shouted looking back at the small group a tired looking man wearing shabby robes.
Faline looked at him curiously before her eyes widened in surprise.
This man…he's cursed becoming a wolf once a month. she thought.
Faline tucked her cat ears and tail in and leapt off the building. Landing in the shadows she used her foot to pull up the sleeve of one of the men laying on the ground, revealing a hideous tattoo on his arm, it was shaped like a skull with a snake protruding out of it's mouth.
"Show me your arms!" Faline said suddenly, exchanging glances they slowly rolled up their sleeves, none of them had the same hideous mark on their arms.
"What do you want?" she asked them memorising their faces.
"We want to know who you are and why Death-eaters are continuously following you!" barked out a strange looking man, he had a grey mane of hair a large electric blue eye that was independently rolling around in it's socket.
"I have no clue why 'wizards' would be following me. I'm not even a witch. Maybe I'm just special." she said stepping out of the shadows
"You're not? Then what are you?" a violet haired woman questioned
"Something else." Faline said emotionless.
"Why who wants to know?"
"We are the Order of the Phoenix the last defence against the Dark Lord!" said a dark skinned man
"Well your certainly not doing a good job!" Faline said carelessly inspecting her nails.
"Um…did you do that?" a red head asked, Faline looked over her shoulder at the four dead 'death eaters'
"I suppose." She said uninterestedly
"Are they…?" the violet haired woman asked.
Faline adopted a wolfish grin "Yes" she said, "People who murder the innocent without remorse don't deserve to live"
There was a long silence after Faline said this, after a while the tired looking man looked like he wanted to say something but stopped.
"If you want to ask something go ahead." Faline said after watching his face interestedly before turning away.
He was silent for a minute before speaking "I have to ask…out of curiosity…would you happen to be one of the seven Elemental Anima?"
"What are you talking about Lupin they're no more than a Myth concocted up thousands of years ago!" barked the strange looking man.
Faline stood ridged on the spot eyes wide before looking back at his face.
"H-how would you know about the Elemental Anima…?" she whispered loud enough for him to hear "Remus Lupin" he said.
"That's impossible they don't exi-"
"They do" Faline said cutting them off "I'm one of them…" she said in a whisper.
