I was dreaming...I swear I was dreaming, this all couldn't be real. I was standing there in my wolf form over a dead body, it wasn't human nor was it an animal. It was a Metal Head; how did I kill a Metal Head? I don't even remember killing it! I looked around and saw it was the forest...why was I here again?! I didn't want to be here. I wanted to be back in my apartment with, Miku and I wanted to be sleeping in my bed with Buru next to me on my other pillow. I wanted my little sister...but why had I killed a Metal Head? I was so confused, I looked down at the corpse. It was covered in it's sickening blood, claw marks and teeth imprints marked it's hole body, I licked my lips and they tasted like salt, rust, and iron. I had the Metal Head's blood on my lips, I continued to look at it and it almost looked like a Gorilla. It had a long and thin tail that had bits (of what was left) of metal. On it's head was a Skull Gem, it had a long and narrow line that ran down the top of it. It was a crack, had I made that crack? I looked down at the face and it was mangled so badly that you couldn't even tell if it was a Metal Head. The bottom jaw was ripped off completly and a thin layer of flesh kept it attachted to the body, one of its eye balls hung out of its socket. Blood and viens consumed the slimy ball, blood oozed from the socket. The other eye was missing and along with the bottom jaw, the tongue was torn off completly. Had I done this? I couldn't have done this, I'm not that strong...am I? I began to walk away from the corpse and over to the river, a gentle breeze blew my way and ruffled my soft pelt. I looked down into the water as a ray of light from the moon reflected off of the water, it made a mirror for me and I gasped at what I saw.

What I saw wasn't me at all! I was covered in...blood, you couldn't even see the white through all the dark red on me, my muzzle was a deep red as small drops of blood dripped into the clear water. I looked down at my paws, they were covered in blood and small bits of flesh remained on my black nails. I HAD killed that Metal Head...but...why? Why had I killed a Metal Head for no apparant reason? I didn't feel hungry, I actually felt full. I hadn't eaten any of the Metal Head, I'd be sick by now if I did. I backed away from the water and walked over to a small creek to wash off the blood stains. I placed my paw into the icy cold water and then the rest of me, I rolled around and licked myself like a little house cat. Soon I stood and walked out of the water, my pelt was clean but..something was different about it, something felt off. I turned to look at my tail and the tip of it was black! How did it get black? It couldn't have been black like that before, I then looked down at my paws. They were black as well! My front legs were black all the way up to my elbows. I was panicking and now I had to find out what the rest of me looked liked, I turned around to look at myself in the water again, and to my surprise my ears were black, and my muzzle was a gray color. What was happening in this dream? This couldn't be me, I was a pure white wolf. What had happened to me? I looked up at the sky as my wet pelt glisnned in the moon's rays, a lump had formed in the back of my throat and suddenly I took a deep breath and the lump jumped out of my throat. I let out a long, loud howl into the crisp night. I felt an odd power rising within me...what was happening to me? I continued to howl until I was out of breath, I lowered my head and saw a green light in the corner of my eye, I followed the light. I was so close to it now, it was blinding me so I closed my eyes and everything went dark.

I woke up to a hard tapping sound on my window, it felt cold and my eyes slowly fluttered open. I sat up instantly and panted...was it a dream? If so...it was pretty trippy. Beads of sweat rolled down the side of my face and I whipped them off with the back of my hand. I looked over to my side where Miku would sleep and she wasn't there, I heard water running in my bathroom...she was taking a shower. I looked out my window and saw pitch black, dark gray rain clouds consumed the sky and kept any sun light from entering the city, rain beat against my window hard and for a second I thought the rain was going to crack the glass. I rubbed my eyes and dragged myself out of bed and headed for the bathroom, I walked in and heard Miku singing "I've seen your boyfriend and I don't think he treats you right!" I heard her say. "I'm not the way you think I am no, I'm not the way you think I am no!" I giggled and sat down on the counter. I was wearing a pair of shorts and my tank top, I was too tired and too lazy to change my shirt last night; so I ended up crashing. "I called her on the phone and she touched herself, she touched herself, I called her on the phone and she touched herself and I laughed myself to sleep," I sang to Miku. She jumped and said "woah! Can I have some privacy please? You know what, I'm almost done. Let me rinse off, and the showers yours," Miku whistled a little tune and turned off the shower. I heard the water shut off and I saw her little blue paw reach out from behind the curtain. She grabbed a thick dark blue wash cloth and wrapped it around herself. She stepped out and flipped her wet lock of hair "the shower's all yours babe!" She winked at me. I smiled and rolled my eyes, I began to take off my top as soon as I heard the door close. I took off every last bit of clothing I had and looked at myself in the mirror, I saw my messy, long black hair and saw my face. I had pale skin, light green eyes that almost looked like emeralds, my lips were a light pink, and a round, large breasts. Sometimes I hated these things they would get in the way, I really don't need them, they're just balls of blubber that happened to be on my chest.

I continued to look at them and saw the tattoo's I had on them, they had roses on them and they looked like they were growing out of the skin...literaly. The thorns looked like they were cutting the flesh, a thin layer of skin poked out and the roses curved over my balls of fat. I sighed and turned away from the mirror, I walked into the shower and turn it on. I felt the cold water run down my body and soon the cold turned into warm, steamy liquid. I sat down in the shower and leaned my head back against the wall. My hair was soaked and I grabbed the shampoo, I opened the cap and went to squirt some onto my hands when I noticed something odd about my nails. I looked at them and saw crusted blood...where did it come from? Was...was my dream real? Tut! It was just a dream and the blood was probably from the gun corse. I was scratching at a box trying to get it open so I could get some ammo. Yeah, that had to be it, it must've stained the sensitive skin under my nails. I put some shampoo in my hand and rubbed my hands together, I placed them in my hair and scrapped my skelp, and so on. I came out twenty minutes later and I felt so refreshed. I was ready to start my day but unfortunatly...it was pouring outside, and today was my day off. Boy, Krew sure did pick the crappy days to give me a little day off. Oh well, I'd use an umbrella or something and today was special! Today I was going to get another tattoo. I was going to have it placed on my neck and most of it was going to snake its way along my neck and face.

I walked out of the bathroom with a white towel wrapped around my body and went into my closet, I pulled out a black sweater with a hoodie, a shirt with long fish net sleeves, and jeans that had holes on the knees. Not too big and not too small, they were perfect. I pulled out my combat boots and began to dress myself. Me and Miku walked out of our apartment with an umbrella to my side, Miku sat on my shoulder as we walked out the front door into the pouring rain. I opened up my umbrella and heard the drops of rain fall on top of it. We walked a few blocks until we came to a little tattoo parlor, we walked in and I could smell the metal and ink in the air. I walked up to the casher and pulled out a folded up piece of paper out of my pocket. I handed it to him and he guided me and Miku to the back room. About three hours later I came out with a large tattoo on my neck, it was a purple flower with a skull in the center of it. The skulls mouth was wide open as vines grew and wrapped its self around the skulls sharp cannines, and vines also grew out of its empty eye sockets that were black and had little purple flowers on them. The hole flower was a dark color, from the inside of it, it started off as a dark purple and begins to lighten up on the petels. The skull was a white and gray color and the tip of the petals on the flower were long and they curved around my jaw bone and any where else. Miku looked at it and tried very hard not to touch the raw skin; she told me it looked interesting and she wanted to me to meet one of her friends. She had a few bucks and wanted her to do something to my hair.

We walked all over the place in the rain until we found this friend of hers, finally we found her and about two hours later I came out with my hair layered and slightly spiked (Note: It look's like this now basically: .). Me and Miku were walking in front of the palace where The Baron lived...I hated him and I hated the soldiers here. They were a bunch of fools that don't even know what they're doing. As we were walking one of the gaurds bumped into me and rubbed up against the raw skin under my shirt, the fabrics rubbing against the swollen hives. I hissed and gripped my shoulder, Miku looked at the guard and said "hey...aren't you going to say sorry? That was pretty rude of you to pump into her like that! You big jerk off." I looked up at Miku and glared "Miku..." I said, and looked at the gaurd. He was glaring at us threw his metal mask and marched over to us, he grabbed Buru and said "what was that you rat?" I spun around quickly and grabbed Miku by the tail "hey, let her go she didn't mean it" I growled at him. Well he didn't let go and one thing led to another, the guard said some things, Miku and I were running, and the guards were chasing after us. I ran and ran from them, Miku was tucked into my jacket with my hood up protecting my hair. Though it didn't do much, my hair still got wet and I was running at top speed. My lungs were expanding at every breath as my heart beat against my rib cage constantly. I saw Krew's bar in the distance, yes! I was safe, but it didn't last long.

As I ran a group of guards on some zoomer's appeared in front of me, armed and ready to fire. I made a sharp turn as they fired their weapons, I made a turn down to another section of the city. I ran and ran and I never stopped...not even once. Soon I was jumping and something inside me was yearing me to stop, but I didn't listen; as I ran I took a turn down an alley and came to an immediate hault. I looked around in the alley way and there was no escape, the guards were coming, I could smell them in the air. In the corner of my eye I saw a little door, I ran to it and opened it. I crawled inside it and closed it quickly. I pressed my ear to the door and listened to the guards asking them selves questions such as: "where did she go?" or "she just dissapered!" I only chuckled at the confused guards. They were still looking for me though, I couldn't leave this hiding spot any time soon but I couldn't just stay here! I crept deeper into my little hiding place and saw that it was a little hide out of some sort. I thought for a second and said "Miku...where exactly is the underground hide out?" Miku looked up at me and shrugged her shoulders. I looked around and saw bunk beds, a table with maps on it, on the wall was pictures of The Baron and another man with orange hair. They both had writing on them, but The Baron's picture had a large "x" going threw it. On the wall hung a Zoomer, it looked like someone was building it, there were rooms in the back that lead to other champers of the hide out. There was a pipe, that must be the water supply; in another corner was a boiler. It must've been used for the heat. I was alone in this little hide out and I began to wonder...where exactly was I? Miku jumped off my shoulder and was looking around herself, we were both in the underground hide out.

I sniffed the air and I caught the scent of some humans. They were moving too, I had to get out of here quick! I ran over to the table where Miku was, she was looking at the map and scooped her up. "Hey!" She squeaked I placed a hand over her mouth and said "we need to get out of here now, there's people here." As we made our way to the entrence I stopped dead in my tracks. There I saw icy blue eyes glaring at me, I stood there thinking. How was I going to get out now? I backed up and looked around and then I decided...I needed to fight my way out. I growled and ran into one of the other rooms, it was empty but I looked for a weapon I could use. I left my gun at home, who knew what people would say if they saw someone carrying a gun with a blue Ottsel on their shoulder. Miku jumped out of my arms and ran out of the room "Larka, c'mon! We need to get out of here now!" I continued to look around the room and finally I turned around to follow her. I saw those icy blue eyes again and something hit me in the stomache. I coughed and crumpled to the floor, everything around me went pitch black.

Everything around me was dark, I was alone and I was standing there. In front of me I saw a green light, someone was calling my name "Larka...Larka come to me" it said. I began to slowly walk towards the light "come and awaken me, awaken me from my slumper," I walked towards it slowly. What power was it talking about? I heard it call to me again "Larka, Larka wake up...Larka...LARKA!" It screamed. My eyes shot open and I gasped, I looked around the room and I felt a sharp pain in my stomache. I gripped it and then my sore shoulder, everything hurt! I then saw Miku sitting in front of me with a frown on her face, she looked scared. She cupped my face with her warm, blue paws "Larka, this guy is coming to talk to u--" before she finished her sentance a man walked in. I looked up to see who it was and I knew right away, the blue eyed man from before. The one with the tattoos all over his face, the mohagony dread locks...the one from the bar. He pulled up a chair and sat in front of me, he glared at me as he crossed his arms, his jaw was stiff and finally it moved. He began to speak "who exactly are you?" He said in a raspy voice. I gulped and opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out. I narrowed my eyes and said "why should I tell you?" I looked at his extended ears, they had tattoos on it just like his face. He growled "let me say this again. What. Is. Your. Name?" He said stressing all the words. I released my shoulder and my stomache, Miku was hiding behind me and whispered "just tell him who you are...he's scary." Scary? I saw nothing scary about this man, he was just irritating is all. "And let me tell you this again, why. Should. I. Tell. You. My. Name?" I replied. A small smirk had formed on my lips, he growled and stood up from his seat. He walked over to me and grabbed me by the collar of my shirt and picked me up, he pressed me against the wall and I let out a squeak. This felt unconfortable and it hurt! I began to squirm and he pressed his body to mine, now I felt very unconfortable. He was trying to keep me from squirming, but it only made me struggle more. I beared my teeth at him and let out another growl "what the hell is your name, and WHY were you in here?!"

"P-put me down and I'll tell you!" The man released me and I fell to the floor, I backed away from him and gripped my throat. I sighed and said "my name is Larka...I was hiding is all, I didn't want to stay long." The man looked down at me, and he didn't look like he was buying it "why were you hiding?" I felt Miku crawl into my lap, she curled up into a little ball and looked up at the man. "I...accidently hit a KG, and...they started chasing after me, so I ran...and hid." The man continued to stare me down, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a folded up piece of paper. He opened it up and said: "a girl who look's to be about twenty one or twenty two, has black hair, light green eyes, and has a blue rat like creature with her, she was wearing a black jacket, torn jeans, and has a purple tattoo on her neck. Wanted dead or alive, beware: she's dangerous." I stopped breathing for God know's how long, Miku shot up from my lap and said "what?! You mean...she's...she's wanted?! She just...we just..." Miku also stopped talking. We were both in shock. "Look's like you did more than just hitting a KG, exactly...what did you do?" The man asked me again, I ran a hand threw my hair and started breathing again. "Miku called one of the guard's a jerk off, I tried to explain to him that she didn't mean it. He wouldn't listen to me and he aimed his gun at her...the last thing I remember is tackling him to the ground. Everything went black and I was laying on the ground, Miku was yelling at me to get up. I got up, grabbed her, and we ran like hell...that's all I remember, I swear." I couldn't remember what I did, but I was shocked at the fact that we were wanted. Suddenly another image popped into my head, I looked down at Miku and said "Buru...the KG I attacked...did I...kill him?" Miku looked up at me and frowned, a sudden fear appeared in her eyes and slowly she nodded her head.

The image of a man laying on the ground, broken, bleeding, bits of his flesh were torn off and a large slash stretched across his neck. I was scared now, I had killed a person...a human...I was turning into an animal. I looked up at the man, his eyes were narrowed and said "you might want to stay a little longer, you caused quite a stir. They're still looking for you, since you're already here...might as well stay" he smirked. I nodded my head and stood up brushing myself off. Miku sat on my shoulder and mummbled something, it kind of sounded like "I shouldn't have said anything...it's all my fault." I looked at her in the corner of my eye and whispered "it's not your fault, just relax." I looked at the man and said "you got a place for me to just hang out for a bit? So I'm not in the way of what ever you're doing, that is" he nodded his head. He spoke again "but I have one question for you, you work for Krew right?" I nodded my head "tell me, you sick of him yet?" I nodded my head again. He smirked "ever thought about working for the underground? Even if you want to or not, Krew's already replaced you. One of our...men reported back saying he's working for him, he also mentioned Krew saying 'that damn girl was too much trouble anyways'" that fat asshole. "Yeah...might as well" I said in a bored tone, Miku began to move and said "what? You're willing to work for a this guy? This guy that pratically pinned you to the wall, and forced you to tell him about yourself?!" I ignored her. "Good, because I already got a mission for you. We need someone to go down to the pumping station. I sent a few of my men there to scout for any signs of The Baron turning off the water again. I sent them about a day ago, and not one of them returned." I nodded my head and said "I'll do it; by the way...what's your name?" The man replied "Torn."

Me and Miku made our way to the pumping station, it was easy. Torn gave us a few things to hide our identity's, it was pretty easy getting around the KG that were lurking around every where looking for me and Miku. We were at the station, I hid behind a tree and looked at a group of Metal Heads lurking around. I was taking off my clothes while Miku kept an eye for any sign of someone or something coming. I quickly went into my wolf form and nugded Buru. She smiled wide and crawled onto my back, but before we even went any where...I went near the water. I looked at myself and saw no black ears, no gray muzzle, I turned to look at my tail. No black tip, I looked down at my front legs. No black fur, I was all white...pure white. "Ready Miku?" I asked and she nodded her head, and I ran out from behind the tree. My paws patted against the rough sand under my feet as the wind blew threw my pelt. Miku hung on tightly as I galloped and jumped from piller to piller to get to the valve. As I made my way to the valve, I was looking for Torn's men. We had no success. We only found one and he was barley alive, with the help of Miku I pulled him onto my back and galloped back to where I had left my clothes. Back by the tree I was putting my clothes on while Miku watched the man. I put on my shirt as I slipt my arms into the fish net sleeves. Once I was done I picked up the man, threw his arm around my shoulder and began to make my way to the entrance to the pumping valve. The door opened and there we saw Torn, he looked at the man with great concern and said "you guys are in."

That night I slept at the hide out with Miku by my side, she slept soundly while I lied there awake. I felt guilty for what I did today, I had to do something to keep my mind off of it. I got up and walked into the main room, Torn stood there talking to a man with blonde hair who had an orange Ottsel sitting on his shoulder. I waited for their conversation to stop and finally Torn looked over at me, "Jak this is, Larka; she'll be coming with you." I looked at the blonde and his Ottsel, I walked over to this Jak person and looked at him for a second. He smelled like Krew's bar...was he Krew's new hired gun? "You'll be going with them to the strip mine, rescue a guy named Vin and report back to me once you're done, Larka. After that we'll see what your skills are, if they're any good we can use you on some single missions." I nodded my head, Jak began to walk towards the exit and I followed after him. "Larka...what about Miku? Aren't you taking her with you?" I heard Torn ask, I turned to look at him and said "no...I'm going to let her rest, she's had enough adventure for today," with that, I walked out the door and followed Jak into the dark, cold night. The three of us got into a zoomer and there we were off, off to t he strip mine to rescue this "Vin" person.
