=Jason continued to follow them as they went into the woods. He didnt much like the idea of going there but he was curious to find out what was going on. He tried to stay out of sight but unfortunatly for him he tripped and fell to the ground.=
Oooff.... ow..
=He rubbed her jaw were he landed on it and looked up to see if they heard him.=
"what..?" andrew exclaimed, looking behind..he had heard the sound of something, or someone falling, and as he looked, he saw someone lying on the ground staring up at them.."wow, a lot of people must have seen it" andrew said, walking over the help the guy up.."come on, we haven't got a lot of time.."
Cade sat on a tree branch in the middle of the city park, ignoring the signs below advising citizens to avoid doing exactly that. His eyes closed to the sun above, trying to focus moreso on the sounds of the park than the sights, he propped his hands behind his head and listened intently, wondering if he'd get in a nap before his gig that night. I was up all night... Shouldn't have been focusing so much on trying to catch that Fox DNA in the back yard He shook his head, trying to forget it as soon as he'd said it. He still couldn't believe the fact that he could morph into animals. It had only been a week or so since he'd gotten the power, but he was enjoying the Hell out of it, watching his 2 hour limit very closely. Is there even anyone going to that damned show tonight? I mean, if not... I may just skip out on the band to sleep anyway...
~I've been gone for a while and I noticed that there hasn't been much activity. I'm just going to go about it as if my character was introduced to everyone already.~
AS the four boys were walking towards the crash sight, he looked at the new addition. He noticed that he was sorta shy seeing as he looked away every time one of the other guys looked at him. "So what's your name, boy," Joshua asked him. "My name is Joshua, but I'd prefer the name Josh. This is Andrew and Zeke he said pointing to the other two. (I don't know if everyone else is present. If you are, you can make it known by introducing your own self 😛 )
Cade sat along a tree branch, his eyes closed to the sun above, hoping he could sit here and enjoy the sun's warmth a little longer. How could the guys wanna possibly have any kind of practice session right now? It's too nice a day. He felt a vibration coming from his pocket, accompanied by an annoyingly high-pitched tone, and reached for his phone, wondering what was up now. A single text read across the screen:
Practice moved to 4. One hour more to work on the set. -Kylee
He shook his head and swore aloud, pressing a button and starting his music, trying to tune the world out for the little bit of time he had left. I'm still not going until 5. They can learn to tell me more than an hour in advance or do without their vocalist for a while... He found the spot he'd been resting in earlier and found himself singing with his music in a manner of seconds, his whole sense of time breaking down entirely.
Cleef had noticed the object crash in the sky. He was unsure what had happend, he stood and watched from a distance however as he felt it would be safer to do so. He thought to himself if the situation would be bad enough to effect even him. He then looked toward the crowd. He saw it was a big thing.
"Well what are you so shy and nervous about, Jason? You came all the way out here sneaking up behind us and you look like you're the one about to have a panic attack. I know that you saw the thing in the sky as well because here you are.
"None of us know what that thing was and we're about to find out. I'm pretty sure the rest of us are nervous as well, so how about you just chill." Josh was trying to ease the boy, but as usual it came out like he was coming down on him. He had to work on that.
As the group of boys continued walking, the woods continued to grow thicker around them. Although, it wasn't dark out yet, so they had an easy time trekking throughout the woods. With his gloved hands, Zeke adjusted the scarf that was wrapped tightly around his neck as Josh introduced himself and the others to Jason. Zeke nodded a hello to the new boy and continued walking. He looked over at Josh. He seemed like a pretty cool guy to Zeke. Zeke turned his eyes back to the trail.
Zeke was leading the pack, with Josh right behind them. A few steps back was Andrew, followed by Cleef, and then Jason.
"It shouldn't take much longer to get there, maybe another 20 min-"
Zeke stopped mid-sentence and held his arm up to his side. It was a gesture for the others to stay back. Up ahead, Zeke noticed something was nearby. They listened for a second or two, and when heard nothing, they continued their pace. Then Zeke noticed what it was that he had noticed.
There was a boy sitting up in a tree.
As the gang of boys continued down the path, they stopped below the tree and looked up at the strange boy. Andrew looked like he was about to shout up to the boy, when Zeke realized that he knew who the boy was.
"...Cadence? Cadence Donovan?"
------------------------------------------------------------------
At the crash-site...
"They are here! They knew we were coming! It was all for nothing! We are all going to die here in this ship!"
A blue andalite was screaming, pointing fervently to a blinking data display on the console in front of him. He began shaking uncontrollably, on the verge of tears. Next to him, another andalite was rapidly typing into a glowing keyboard, his eyes looking serious.
Behind them, a female was issuing commands. Her voice was soft and beautiful to human ears, but they demanded respect, and the crew of andalites did what they were told. Then, the lights of the ship flickered, and a horrible scream retched throughout the ship.
"...they are already here..." the female said, becoming scared herself.
Then a long sharp blade ripped through her shoulder, and everything went dark....
The female andalites eyes shot open. Where was she? She was lying facedown in the dirt, covered in grime and gore. She took another look at her surroundings, and she remembered everything. She was on earth. And it looked like her mission was going to be a failure.
With all of her strength, she lifted her self up, and began heading out of the woods. She barely made a few steps, when the pain overtook her, and she fell against a tree. She leaned on it for balance as she looked at her leg - it was also slashed. The purple blood shimmered as it ran down her leg, and she flinched in pain.
She would have to wait to regain some strength, mask her identity and head out of the forest. But her wounds were pretty severe.
And she didn't know that something sinister was lurking in the woods. Looking for her...and looking to kill her...
Cade jerked his head up, hitting it slightly on the branch overhead. He had heard someone yelling up to him, and in reflex, had knocked his earbuds out of his phone, Seether's "Six Gun Quota" blaring loudly from his phone. As he fumbled the switch to cut his music off, he jumped down from the tree, landing dead center of the group and pocketing the phone.
"Heya, Zeke. How's things?" He looked around at the others, somewhat unaware of who they were. "And, uh... Heya to you guys, too."
His head a bit sore from the branch, still, he shook it a time or two, then gave up the attempt, shrugging it off as futile to try and literally shake off the pain.
"What, uh... What're you guys into?"
Zeke wasn't all entirely surprised that Cadence was spending his time in the woods, relaxing high up in a tree. When they were in school together, Cadence was always a kind of loner type. From what Zeke had noticed, Cadence didn't really hang out with a particular crowd. In fact, Zeke remembered that Cadence would rather enjoy his own company, and would frequently be seen eatting his lunch outside, listening to his music.
Zeke had no problem with Cade, though they weren't exactly friends. They had had a couple of classes together. Still, it was nice seeing someone from his old class again.
"Cadence, you didn't happen to hear anything out here have you? Like maybe a booming crash?" Zeke said, almost sarcastically, and only for the benefit of the rest of the group. He stepped away from the rest of the boys as they introduced themselves to Cadence. For a second, he thought he heard something strange in the wind. In fact, it was the brushing of bushes, and the snapping of twigs....
There was someone else in the woods....
Zeke turned to the rest of the gang. They were all huddled together again. Cade was speaking with Andrew and Jason. Zeke saw Josh also seemed like he had heard something.
"Josh...come here for a sec." Zeke said, gesturing for the other boy to make his way over. Zeke heard the same noises again, this time closer.
Then, suddenly, something sprang out of the dark and tackled Zeke, jumping through the bushes and surprising everyone in the crowd. Zeke went down hard, and rolled, as what looked like an animal, probably a deer of some kind, crash down upon him. The animal thrashed around him, and they rolled passed Josh and into the crowd of boys. Everyone was thrown aside, and Zeke caught a glimpse of the deer's fur.
It was....blue?
andrew, showing the speed and reflexes and agility granted by years of playing squash and amateur parkour, jumped nimbly out of the way of the blur furred thing, and it blew past him, missing him by bare centimetres..he noticed that the end of its tail was shiny, and what little light there was left reflected off it..he looked around, seeing nearly everyone on the ground.."um...was that a blue deer?" he asked stupidly, walking over to Zeke and pulling him up.."because, you know, the last i checked, deer weren't blue.."
((bloody firefox try and tell me how to spell "centimetre" 😬..btw sorry for not replying sooner, been busy with school, probably wont be posting that much next week either..))
Cade shook his head. "They aren't. Something... isn't right..." He drew out his phone, texting Kylee that practice was cancelled before trekking off toward the "blue deer." His entire life, he'd focused on certain local wildlife, and this was a new creature, one he wanted to check out for himself. As he felt the group growing further away, he turned, stopping only momentarily. "You guys coming, or what?" And with that, he continued off after the beast.
When Zeke called for him, Josh was on his way over. But at that exact moment something tackled Zeke. Josh was knocked out of the way by what he assumed was a tail, (although he had never seen a sycthe-shaped tail on what looked like a deer a day in his young life before.)
Next, Cade was off running towards the thing. "Are you guys coming or what," he shouted.
What's with all of commands," Josh mumbled to himself but realized he had started to run as well.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amanda Waters didn't think anyone else had seen what she had seen. A bright light in the sky followed by a loud crash. Of course no one else would be curious. She didn't know why, but as soon as she saw it, she was on her way.
I'm going to be in major trouble for this..., she thought to herself, ...but someone could need some help. If her parents weren't so protective of her, she would have just told them that she was going over a friends house for a few hours, but nooooo. She had to be their only child. "What a drag," she said to herself.
She arrived to the woods and saw the smoke plume from what she assumed was the crash site. As she headed in that direction, she was knocked over by what she thought was a deer.
The two were crumbled together and rolled at least three times before they stopped. Amanda had to get her bearings just to focus on what that thing was. As she slowly and painfully arose off the ground, she realized that she was staring into tow sets of eyes sitting on top of a blue face.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
=Jason followed the other boys not really speaking to them. He even stayed quiet when one of the other guys asked him stuff then told him to "Chill" He always thought that was a stupid way to say calm down. When he saw the creature his eyes widened. Not in fear but rather in surprise. He hit the ground hard from when the creature knocked him over but he quickly sat up to watch where it went into the darkness of the trees. He looked to the one who told them to come on and got to his feet running off with them.=
...did you guys notice that? It... looked like a deer... but it wasnt.
=He said the next part hesitantly=
It looked like a Centaur.....
"You mean from those fantasy stories," Josh asked him. "I guess it kinda did. I'd have to say more like a freaky, alien-type centaur."
A loud, piercing scream was heard just as Joshua finished his statement. "Okay, I don't think that was from that...thing. It sounded human." Well duh, he thought to himself. What else could it be?
