Starfire/FH Alpha/M: Fae, Stryker, Void, hunters

Starfire reached Fae and gently picked her up. Moving back down the tree, he reached the bottom. Instead of setting her down, he put her on his back before trotting about a mile. Then placing her on the ground in a clearing, he told her, “Try here instead of looking from a tree. Make sure you don’t fall into any badger holes like I have done.” He smiled before taking off towards the hunter’s forest. After a couple of miles, he circled where he had left Stryker with Void. Then he headed toward the base. Shifting into a hellhound, he trotted up to some of them. They barked, “Hey, you new? Go to the cage.” They gestured towards the base. He trotted over to the base, before slipping into the Vault. ‘Oops wrong way.’ He thought before a name caught his eye. Shifting slightly, he reached out a hand and grabbed a folder labeled Stryker. Hiding it, he peeked out before bee lining it to the forest. Without looking at it, he shifted back into his winged wolf, and went to find Stryker.

Fae felt the gentle grip right before her claws gave up. She was too shocked to speak, and too ashamed. She had been paralyzed, literally: if it wasn't for Starfire she could have been dead. Some warrior, she was.

Blinking back, Fae realized the ground was moving. No, wait, it was Starfire again. Fae found herself purring and pawing the thick fur, and stopped with crimson shame. Then suddenly the sun came out: the jungle was disappearing, and finally (finally) Fae could see some normal trees.

Where were they?

But she was on the ground again and Starfire was leaving. She hadn't even thanked him...

She shook the thought away, looking around the clearing; her paws were working again, and there were many interesting smells. She would thank him by doing her job.

Void decided to do a bit of training herself and after doing some basic stretches got down on all fours and ran through the first at top speed darting between trees and sometimes leaping of them to make a sharp turn. She left behind a noticeable trial of deep attract marks on the ground and trees. She was doing one big loop around where the camp was to do a parameter check.

Starfire/FH Alpha/M:Stryker

Starfire trotted up to find Stryker talking to Mary. Hiding the folder in his wings, he walked up to Stryker before saying to Mary, "I need to talk to him for a moment. We will be right back." Guiding Stryker towards a pond, he fetched the folder before giving it to him. He sat down, waiting for his reaction.

Phase/ FH warrior/M: Stryker,starfire

Phase looked over to Stryker and Starfire, what are they doing? She thought curiously, but shook it off and trotted outside, then noticed Fae was gone, where is she? Hmm. Phase spread her wings and popped off in the air, deciding to find Fae, spotting her in a clearing. Phase went over and gracefully lnded beside her, "What are you doing?" she asked.

Fae had taken a good look at the clearing, a few rocks and fallen trees scattered around. Familiar enough. The trees around were thick enough to leave only a few openings, two of which were entrances, and judging from the noise there was water nearby, which was also good. If it was a stream they could deviate it... There were many things to think about. And Fae was actually excited.

So much she didn't notice the other presence until after she landed.

"Eeek!" Fae hissed, just to see it was Phase. "Oh, sorry, I... didn't hear you coming."

A thought ran through Fae's little cat brain. Phase was there. That was perfect!

"Starfire asked me to look for the potential new base..." she couldn't help blushing under her fur at the embarrassing memory. "We left from somewhere in a strange forest... and I wanted to follow our tracks back to see if there was something we could use. Would you like to come with me?"

Phase/FH warrior/M:Fae

Phase nodded,"I have nothing to do, so that's great" she said, turning into a cat," Your too small that my head hurts looking down at you." she joked, trotting beside you.

Fae/FH warrior/M: Phase

Phase had said yes. Fae could barely hold back her excitement. Really, what happened to her?

Then she heard what Phase said and all the happines died.

"Oh, sorry," she managed to say as she led the way. What should she do? She never thought being a cat could do that to others. Maybe she should change form? But she had no idea how...

Some shapeshifter I am. Fae thought to herself and almost lost the trace. She wasn't even focusing. Maybe she shouldn't have asked Phase to come...

Phase/FH warrior/M:Fae

Phase noticed ho hurt Fae was,"Oh,I'm sorry!" she said,eyes trailing at the ground,"I was joking,probably not the best joke though..." her voice trailed off,"Why me? Because I was in the area?" she asked,trying to make a conversation.

Fae/FH warrior/M: Phase

"It's ok, really: I don't know what's wrong with me, lately."
She was just joking. Fae should have seen that, but it still hurt. She could just sigh before stopping: they had arrived.

The difference between the clearing and that place was so evident: Fae's fur felt as heavy as lead and she almost couldn't breathe. Still, it was small enough, the leaves on those strange trees made a nice cover and there were some rope-like things hanging down from them.

"Do you know what those can be?" She asked Phase, while her mind went wild with ideas.
