"This sucks" Tobias muttered from his place beside the first of two windows in the front entrance. I was at the second, in my human form, and turned to look at him.
"Sucks? What do you mean?" I asked politely. He just sighed and shook his head. Above us, the dim lights flickered, going out for a few seconds before retuning to their usual weak glow.
"I think there's a storm coming. Either that or the generator that fuels those lights are running out. Damn" He looked outside, where the five boys whom had harassed Jade were out on the lawn, and in their 'sleeping bags'. Although, I believed that resting for such periods of time in what seemed to be a 'bag' was not very appropriate for-
"Still out there" Tobias snickered "I hope they get drenched"
I was about to ask what he meant, but then decided against it. It would be meaningless to ask him again, as he would simply not answer me.
I turned to look outside again, seeing flashes of light far off.
"You are correct. I estimate that the storm will reach us in approximately seventeen of your earth minutes"
Tobias snorted "I think you and Ax were made for each other sometimes"
Ch-ch-clink!
We both looked up to see the light had finally gone out. This made me quite uneasy.
"That can't be good" Tobias said.
"Agreed"
"I think… I think I'm going to demorph. Those guys can't see inside, it's too dark"
"Yes. I shall to. I am very uneasy with the state of the lighting and this body. It is…"
Tobias smiled at me "I know what you mean"
He began to demorph, as I focused on my own body and shifted back. I felt the changes begin, my body already calming from knowing I was going to be in my own form soon.
Yet, as my ears began to change, I instinctively stopped.
(Rtaia? What's wrong?) Tobias asked, and I opened my half-formed eyes to look at him. I quickly closed them again, feeling very lightheaded.
"I am… I am hearing something strange. I do not know what it is yet, but I am seemingly picking it up from my Chanaiben ears, and not my human ones"
(Well, shift back all the way and see what it is)
I nodded "I shall try"
I focused again and the change came more quickly this time. My feet… my tail… my human torso melted into my own one…
And then, finally, I shifted my own ears back.
And cried out from the sound that was coming from them. I covered my ears, but that did little to muffle the Chanaiben scream I was hearing.
(Rtaia? RTAIA! What's wrong! What is it!)
"It is… a Chanaiben cry! Oh my… make it stop! Please! Oh PIA! Make it STOP!" I cried, finding I couldn't take the pain and fear behind that scream…
And then, there was silence. I looked up, and around to see Tobias on the floor near me. I held out an arm and he hopped on to it.
(What was it? And…)
"It was a Chanaiben cry. And it simply stopped. Yet… it could only be from one Chanaiben I know. This way!" I cried, running along. Tobias soon took flight, flying ahead of me.
(This way?)
"No. It was from here!" I bolted over to where a faded wooden door was blocking my way.
(Hang on, maybe I should call Jake and-)
"No time!" I turned, drew my tail back, then put all the force I could into it and smashing the door with all my might. It exploded into pieces!
(Okay, you're persistent, aren't you?)
I glanced at him, before going into the room where I had heard the shrill cry.
It seemed to be a study area. As I looked around there seemed to be a table, some book shelves, and a chair. Other than that, the small roomed seemed…
Wait a moment!
I froze, sniffing the air. I moved my head to try and pinpoint it, keeping my eyes keen on the darkness around me.
(What is it?) Tobias asked, hawk-walking into the room beside me.
"I smell Chanaiben blood. Faint traces, but still… it is here" I moved over to a spot on the floor, sniffing. Yes, it came from here.
(Chanaiben? That's it! I'm calling the others!)
"Just one moment please" I got down on all fours, sniffing the ground, and picking up something else in my sensitive nose.
"It is… it is a strange substance that almost smells like the Hidaba pits back at home"
(It's tar. It smells like tar) Tobias, now a wolf, was suddenly beside me.
"Now what shall we do?"
(Um… call Jake and maybe Ith-)
"The blood came from Ithiell, so I highly doubt…" my voice caught in my throat, the thought of a fellow Chanaiben who was close to me, now could possibly be…
My ears pricked up. I had just heard something!
(Did you…)
"Yes" I whispered, growling a little.
Tooclose…don'tneedyou…
I tensed, and out of the corner of my eye saw Tobias's fur bristling.
Byebyebirdie…
I heard a skittering, and turned to see something emerging from out under the desk. Red eyes glared at me and strange sounds emanated from this being…
Then, came many others…
(Rats! RUN!) Tobias screamed, bolting out of the room. I turned and soon followed, being faster on all fours than I was on my two feet.
We ran for the door…
(Crap! The others!) Tobias skidded to a stop, but was soon enveloped by these oversized rodents. There had to be thousands!
"Tobias!" I yelled, skidding to a stop and turning to help him. I leapt over the ones that were trying to get to me, batting away the ones attacking him with my tail. I bared my teeth, bringing my claws and jaws into the fight, and swatting them away with my tail when I could.
I snapped up a rodent, chomping down and killing it in an instant, then tossing it away and going for another one.
Tobias too, was doing all he could in the morph he was in. His speed and jaws were his biggest advantage here… yet, he did not have claws…
"AHHH!" I yelped as one bit the back of my neck. I grabbed it and threw it away.
Imnotdoneyet…
Suddenly, I felt something sting my tail. I screamed, whipping it up. I then saw eight legs…
(TARANTULAS! OH FUCKING GREAT!) Tobias soon began to scream for help from the others.
I was soon overwhelmed by the rats and tarantulas, feeling more stings and bites on me than I had ever felt before. And the spider stings were making me feel weak…
I batted them away, fighting on anyway…
(I… I can't… I'm to…) Tobias dropped beside me, and soon the creatures swarmed him!
"NO!" I positioned myself over him, fighting on in spite feeling myself slipping faster now. I whacked away the creatures with my tail and swiped them with my claws… biting with my teeth…
But they just kept coming…
And soon I knew nothing but blackness…
