Hey guys! First of all, thank you all for your characters. They were all really good, and I had trouble picking just five of them! They were all really creative, inventive and most were quite realistic. The only thing was the amount of cat hybrids there were o_O but it was a really good batch of mutants, so thank you very much & enjoy the chapter! ((oh yeah, and sorry it took so long!))

The pack and I headed back to the abandoned ware house we were staying in. it was across town. I volunteered to take first watch, and within minutes the pack was asleep.
I sat down near the fire we had lit, leaning against a pilar. I un-curled my tail, feeling the muscle stretch and the bones align. I did some quick stretches before settling down. I glanced around my pack protectively. I would rather die than have them hurt. My trust was hard to gain, but once you had it you could be sure I had your back. When my eyes reached the far end of the room I jumped.
Tye, who was 17, the first to join and my second in command had his eyes wide open and was watching me. He gave me an easy smile. I gave him a tight smile before glancing quickly away. The way he had smiled mixed with the way the fire light cast shadows on his face had highlighted the scars around his mouth. I bit my lip. He had gotten his scars at one of the schools, where they had sewn his mouth shut so he wouldn't bite them.
I glanced back at him and saw that he had shut his eyes and wrapped his bat wings around himself, which meant he was almost asleep. He was the quietest in our pack, barely ever speaking. He had been my best friend for a long time, and I knew he always had my back.
I smiled and looked over at 16 year old Twilight,who was sleeping propped up against a meatal pillar. His longish black hair was flopped in his eyes. His ever-present grey beanie was slightly askew on his head, showing a tiny bit of one of his wolf ears. His tail was curled at his side. The first time I saw Twilight was when he cornered me and talked me into letting him stay with me and Tye, thus becoming the third member of our pack. I rolled my eyes. That boy could talk himself in – or out – of anything! As I watched he frowned and reached out to place a comforting hand on john's arm, just as john gasped and whimpered. I turned my attention to him. He must be having a bad dream. Twilight could control and read other peoples dreams.
John's face straightened out and he smiled slightly. Twilight must have changed his dream. I was glad. I had a soft spot for john. He was the youngest of the pack, at 10 years old. He lay curled up on his side with his bushy squirrel tail cushioning his head. When he was sleeping was practically the only time he was still. The first time I met him he literally ran straight into me. He followed us around for 2 hours. I put it down to him being a crazy kid, but when erasers attacked the pack he turned all hyper-squirrel-ninja. And after that, how could I not let him stay? I smiled. John also had used his most deadly weapon on me- Bambi eyes. He was my weak spot, and he knew exactly how to get whatever he wanted with me.
Next to john, with her long black hair spilling out around her like oil, was Syn… age 17, and the next to join the pack. She, like Twilight, was merged with a wolf, except her ears and tail were jet black. She was very beautiful. I looked almost like a boy beside her, because of her very girly looks…she hated wearing dresses or skirts, though. She was also very tall. She could control electricity, as well as being telekinetic. The first time I met her she was outnumbered by a gang in an alley. She was zapping them and hurling stuff around for all she was worth, but it was still about 25 to 1. That's when I stepped in. after we sent the gang running for their mommies, she turned to me battered, bleeding and only semi-conscious and said: "I was doing fine on my own, you know". We were almost instantly friends.
Beside Syn, 14 year old Fallen murmured in her sleep and rolled over to face me. She was the newest to join us, only a month ago. We found her passed out from lack of blood. When twilight saw her he immediately rushed to help her. As he was bandaging her up he explained that they had escaped together and then split up. They had been inseparable since. Even now, twilight was sleeping sitting just behind her. Twilight didn't even consider the fact that I mightn't want her in the pack, he had just taken her in. she wore a beanie, like twilight, to hide her panther ears, though hers wasblack and white.
The thing was I didn't know if I trusted her yet. She was very sweet, that was obvious, with her pink rosebud lips, black ringlets and mothering attitude. She was almost….too sweet….
"My turn on watch" whispered Tye, making me jump. I nodded and settled down, facing the fire.
Maybe I'm just being cynical, I thought. Maybe she's completely trust worthy. Twilight trusts her, any way.
I frowned and turned my back on the flames. Of course, it's not like I've been completely trustworthy either. We all had skills: Tye had his healing; Twilight was capable of controlling dreams and seeing through stuff; John's ability to climb high; Syn's telekinesis, among other things; and my hyper speed. I wasn't sure if Fallen had any powers. But then, I never told the rest of them about my other power…. The power to sense if other mutants were near. Of course, the rest of the pack probably suspected it—why else would I come back with a new mutant every time I got the urge to take a "walk"? How else could we have avoided so many fights?
Of course, I have another secret, one that no one can ever know.
I would take it to the grave.
