Okay, I know in the first chapter of protection I said I was going to get another new story out the same day, yesterday, but I got suckered into babysitting, and when it comes to my niece and nephew, I just can't say no, I love them to death and I love spending time with them. Anyway, this is going to be rated for a list of reasons, AU, character bashing, OOC…the plot might seem strange, I guess you can put it, but this is something that has been haunting me for a while, since I first started writing thanks to the cat, which will be wrapping up soon, but I never got around to writing it, also this is going to be the week of new stories, but that's not to say some of my other stories will continue to be on hold, I'm working on them as well, it's just if I don't get these ideas out soon, they'll plague my thoughts and I won't be able to focus.

Four young women, one with pink hair and pink eyes, another with blonde hair and blue eyes, a third with purple hair and green eyes and the four with blue hair and green eyes sat in a room in silence, looking down at their left forearms with puzzling looks crossing their faces as they saw a claw mark on each the blonde and the blue-haired young woman's arms, a long tail mark on the purple-hair's arm and a wing mark on the pinkette's arm. The bluette looked up and said in a monotone voice, "What do we do about this?" the others looked at her in confusion as she shook her head, "We've had these strange marks since we were born, but our families have no idea what they are or what they mean,"

"Who knows," the purple-haired young woman sighed and shook her head before looking down at the mark on her arm again, "Maybe they're just some strange birthmarks an-" before she could finish, the four looked down as the marks began glowing and they hissed in pain and fell to the floor.

Opening their eyes, they looked around and spotted a young man around their age with black hair and blue eyes, staring at them, "Um…do you know where we-" before the pinkette could finish, the blonde tapped her on the shoulder, getting her attention, "What is it?"

"Look at his arm," the blonde whispered, "He's got a mark too," the four looked down at his left forearm and saw it glowing. Looking up, the blonde called out, "Who are you?" the gaze of the young man fell as he spotted the markings on their arms and his eyes widened before he jumped back and narrowed his eyes, "Hey, I asked you a question! Who are you and what do you know about these marks?"

The young man continued to stare at them before the pinkette sighed and shook her head, "My name is Louise and these are my…friends, Henrietta, Charlotte, though she does like to go by Tabitha, and Montmorency…who are you?" the young man continued to stare at them before Louise narrowed her eyes, "What? Are we speaking a foreign language or something? What's your nam-" before she could finish, the five of them were blinded by a white light before they fell unconscious.

I know this first chapter is on the short side, but I'm working on this…enjoy and the reason I picked Tabitha and Montmorency here is because I rarely ever see them used so I decided to mix things up a bit. Things will be explained within the next two chapters…enjoy.
