Girls POV

Pain. That's all I felt when my mind woke from its forced sleep. But I suppose pain is a good thing, it lets me know I'm still alive and that fat, stupid orge bastared didn't kill me. Which is a good thing, my pack would be SO lost with out me.

Taking a deep breath I force my blue and red eyes open, and at first every thing is blurry and I can't see a thing. But slowly my vision improves, allowing me to see five girls staring at me.

My instincts kick in and I painfully jolt up on the... bed I'm laying in? How the hell did I get here? Oh well no time to worry about that! I narrow my eyes and glare at the girl with painfully bright pink hair and I pull back my upper lip, exposing my sharp fangs, hissing at them.

They all step away in fear, pressing there backs up agents the wall behind them. They all look at me nervously and swallowing a gulp of saliva the one with long blue hair approached me...she was scared; I can hear her heart pounding in her chest. I gotta admit, she's very brave for coming so close...

Normal POV

Mariam slowly approached the angry warecat, shaking a little bit as she did. Stopping beside the bed the girl lay on, Mariam asked "What's your name?"

Glaring at the bluenet, the girl grunted "Zai, and you would be?"

"Mariam."

"Mariam huh? Well tell me Mariam, were is the rest of my pack?"

"There safe. There all in this house, just down the hall." Mariam said feeling a little more relaxed around the warecat named Zai. (An: its pronounced z-A)

Zai's eyes shifted over towards Hilary when she said "What happened to you guys last night?"

"What's your name little girl?"

Gulping she answered "Hilary."

"Well Hilary, do you know any thing about my people?"

"N-not really, sorry."

"Don't worry about it, thanks to the vampires not many do." Zai said looking at the brunet that wore a pink long sleeve t-shirt with a black top underneath, with a dirty cream color skirt and a pare of white shoes that looked like they were falling a part.

'Hmm, a good girl.' Zai thought to herself wile smirking. She looked towards Mariam; her long blue hair was tied back into a high pony tail, with a pair of ratty tight fitting blue jeans, with holes in knees, and an even tighter black tank top. 'The bad girl.' Zai mused, before looking at the girl with bright pink hair. She wore a pair of baggy cargo pants and a white t-shirt. The last girl, with orange hair had a pair of glasses in front of her emerald eyes, and she wore a pair of overalls with a baggy black t-shirt.

'Hmm pinky looks like a leader and the one with overalls must be a thinker.' Zai thought.

"I don't like to be around strangers, so who the hell are you two" Zai demeaned.

"Emily and this is Mariah." Emily introduced them.

"So what happened to you guys last night?" Hilary asked again, coming closer to Zai.

Smirking, Zai answered. "You really want to know?" All the girls nodded, so Zai continued "Alright. Now how should I explain this... ok, once a year all the young warecat's and wolves of a certain age go out on this huge hunt. We have two days to complete this hunt, and if we can bring back enough food for the rest of the pack to eat, we will no longer be considered cubs. It's kinda like a right of passage for my people. We completed the task and I sent four wares ahead with every thing we caught to prove to the pack that we did it. But as the rest of the pack and I were heading home we were attacked by the orge. So I distracted him, and got the fat moron to follow me."

"Why did you do that?" Hilary gasped.

"So that the rest of my pack could get away. But my dear friends in the other room couldn't let me go alone; it's just not what my people do. We're pack hunters, so they came with me, and we all got hurt. The orge got killed when he tried to kill Kelly."

The girls looked at her in shock, who knew the wares had such a difficult right of passage. Biting her bottom lip Mariah asked "But you preformed magic last night! I didn't think warecat's could do magic!"

Chuckling Zai said "They can't. But I'm a special case; have you ever heard of a hybrid?"

The girls all shook there heads no, so Zai went on "A hybrid is a creature born of two different creatures. Such as a... warecat and a warlock for instance. There offspring would have both of there abilities."

Looking at Zai with an eye brow arched, Emily asked "Are you saying you're the product of a warlock and a warecat?

Smirking Zai nodded, she then asked "Yes I am. I would also like to see my friends now. Take me to them."

Mean wile deep in the vary forest that Zai and her friends had almost been killed in, was a large black stoned castle. This castle housed some of the most powerful and important vampires in the world.

Tala chewed nervously on his bottom lip, drawing a little of his own blood. He had told the head adviser what he and Kai had found in the forest and now his father wanted to speak with him.

Shifting from one foot to another Tala waited for his father to allow him to enter. Looking down at his big heavy black boots and cargo pants Tala, sighed and shoved his hands into his pants pockets. His black muscle shirt stretched every time he took a deep breath.

Tala looked up when he heard foot steps coming down the carpeted hall way. It turned out to be Kai in his usual outfit; he wore a pair of baggy blue cargo pants that almost looked black with heavy black army style boots, and a black sleeveless shirt tightly clung to his torso. A creamy silk scarf (Which Ian had dubbed 'Joe' ages ago.) was wrapped neatly around his neck.

"So your father wishes to speak to you?" Kai asked, saying father as if he had a bad taste in his mouth.

Sighing, Tala answered "Ya."

"So... what are you goanna tell him?"

"Honestly Kai I have no idea... but I think you were right last night."

"Right... about what?"

"About a ware killing the orge."

Looking at Tala with the 'are you nuts' look Kai finally said "What?"

"Just think about it! What else could kill an orge like that?!? No vampire could do that!"

"It could have been another orge." Kai suggested.

"An orge? You're kidding right? An orge won't kill any thing like that. The bite in its throat looks like a bit from an animal... It reminded me when your cat ate Ian's mouse."

Kai snickered when Tala brought up the 'mouse incident', before saying "He didn't speak to me for almost three weeks after that. He was so mad at me for that, I think he still is."

"That's beside the point Kai, the point is the orge's throat looked like a huge cat got to it!"

There was a moment of silence before Kai said "Your serious about this... you really think a warecat did this... Do you realize what it will mean if your right?"

Nodding Tala whispered "The rekindling of the old wars... but it will probable be twice as hard to win the second time around."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because the ware's have been able to watch us for years, they may now our weaknesses, were we sleep and only the blood god knows what else. But we know nothing about them, because we thought they were all dead."

Taking a deep breath Kai asked "Then what's keeping him?"

"He's 'speaking' to Bryan."

"Again? What he do this time?"

"Disobeyed a direct order from my father. Apparently Bryan told him to 'go suck himself'. But I don't blame him for not listening to my father, after what happed..." Tala trailed off.

Kai opened his mouth to say some thing but was cut off by a door slamming shut and Bryan stormed out of the king's quarters.

Bryan wore a heavy black jacket, a pair of baggy black pants, a tight sleeveless top, and a pair of heavy boots. Bryan's most noticeable feature was his short, spiky lilac hair and bright green eyes.

He waked up to the pair and said "Tala your father wants to see you."

Tala nodded noticing the deep gash across Bryan's cheek. "Bryan... are you o.k.?"

"I'm fine Tal, don't worry about me, now get your ass in gear and go see your dad, he's still pretty pissed at me so be careful what you say."

"Thank for the warning...So you pissed him off pretty good huh?"

"Oh ya, you should have seen the look on his face, it was priceless." Bryan grinned and the three boys couldn't help but snicker a little.

But there happy little moment was cut short when a booming voice yelled out "TALA GET IN HERE NOW!!!"

Gulping Tala said "I better go..."

(00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000)

The five girls showed Zai to were her friends were waiting; they had all woken up before her and had refused to speak to any one. The three girls were sitting on a small ratty brown couch, the smaller of the boys was sitting on a comfy looking chair and the larger one was sitting on the floor, with his back against the wooden wall.

Zai grinned when she saw her friends, but none of them seemed to notice her, because they looked like they were asleep... but Zai new better.

"Guys... I know you're not asleep, I know you lot too well."

The girl with black hair with blue streaks that was tied into tinny braids cracked open a brown eye, looking at there leader. Zai was wearing a pair of baggy black pants, with light weight black and white boots and a spaghetti strap top. She also had oddly colored eyes, one eye was red and the other was blue. But she also had her arms and stomach wrapped with creamy colored bandages, with small red stains from were the wounds had been deeper and took longer to stop bleeding, all thanks to a damn orge.

Smiling the girl open her eyes the rest of the way open and said "Zai about time I thought you were never goanna wake up."

"What can I say, I like my sleep." Looking at Mariah and her friends Zai said as calmly as she could "Would you please excuse us... we have to talk."

Nodding the girls left the room, with Zai not taking her eyes off them until they closed the door behind them. Once they were gone Zai turned back to her friend and said "How ya doing Mai?" (AN: Pronounced m-I)

Her friend grinned at her and said "Hurt. And I've got blood in my hair and its destroying my blue streaks."

Smiling Zai turned towards the girl sitting beside Mai, she had black hair with white tips, and she wore a red tank top and a red bandana with blue pants and black boots. Which was nothing like what Mai wore, which was a pair of green army pants and shirt with a black spaghetti strap top over the army shirt. But Mai would not be complete with out her red and white hat and black boots.

Talking to the girl beside Mai, Zai said "Kelly how ya doing?"

Kelly opened her deep blue eyes and said "That stupid orge took a good chunk out of my arm, but other than that I'm not too bad. You?"

Casting her oddly color eyes to her arm and stomach she said with a sigh "I got it bad. How 'bout you Jay?"

The last girl on the couch opened her green eyes and sighed. She had black spiky hair with dark purple bangs. She wore a purple skirt with a black strip that went down both sides of it. A purple tank top that had a chunk missing out of the top and bottom with strings criss crossing between the sides. The top also had a strip of black on both sides.

Sighing again Jay answered "Both my arms and legs will need to heal but I'm not doing to bad."

Nodding, Zai turned to the boys. Decoda, the bigger of the two had hazel eyes and was wearing a deep green shirt that clung to his muscled form and a pair of baggy pants held up by a belt, hung off his waist. Then there was Josh, he had chocolate brown eyes and wore a pair of dirty blue jeans and a black t-shirt. He also wore a dark blue vest and a pair of shoes.

"Ya I'm ok, just need some rest." Decoda shrugged.

"Same here." Josh piped up.

Nodding Zai said "Good, now what are we goanna do?"

"We gotta rest, if we try to leave now some thing might try to... oh I don't know, EAT US!" Jay snapped.

Sighing Zai scratched the back of her neck, it was true. If they tried to leave with out healing properly first, some thing else might try to eat them. "Well then... we really have no choice, if we leave we could and probably will get into more trouble... so if we can we'll stay here. Dose any one have a problem with that?"

"Ya, not only will our parents freak, and what about Ray! He's probably going nuts right now!" Mai snapped

"Then tonight send word via howl, and inform him we're fine."

Sulking a little, Mai reluctantly agreed.

"Good." Zai said "We'll stay here."

(0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000)

Tala looked down at his boots, his left cheek still stung from the blow he received from his father after suggesting a warecat had killed the orge. His father paced back and forth, looking worried.

"Tala are you sure it was a warecat? It could have been a number of things." His father sneered.

Taking a deep breath Tala carefully said "The way the orge was attacked it could have been nothing else."

"But how would-"The king was interrupted when Tala snaped "Its throat was torn out! Nothing but a huge cat like a warecat could have done damage like that!!!"

Tala fell to the ground in pain, holding his now bleeding nose. "DON'T YOU EVER TALK TO ME LIKE THAT YOU INGRATE!!!?" Taking a deep breath Tala's father calmly told him "Leave now Tala, I'll.... Consider your concern and take it up with my advisers. Until then tell NO one what you have seen."

Nodding Tala quickly left the room, holding his still bleeding nose. He couldn't help but think 'He's not going to do any thing, he never dose when I bring a problem to him.' Wile he walked down the dark and musty hall ways of the castle.

TBC....
