I remember you Scarlet. In Kyngdom, Storm is taking a break from adventuring, doing stuff in his shop for a while. 

Also, my power is kinda similar to yours, but different. I can teleport-ish as long i am in a dark shadow, but i can only teleport to and from a dark shadow.  

~Shadow

I had just finished my homework, and looked up at the clock. It's already 6:50 pm, but something called out to me suddenly. Something is happening.... my mind hissed at me. I decided to check on the principal's daughter, and walked into the wall, appearing at a large room. A 17 year-old boy was looking at something on a table, and he reminded me somehow of Madi. There were some more people, looking at the thing on the table, blocking the thing from my veiw. "We have positioned our groups around our target Maxi." one of them said. The 17 year-old nodded. "We will attack next week, on the claw moon. I will be at an advantage then, and we need to know this Imperia better." I transformed into my animal form and crept into the next room. A white hamster was starting to wake up in a small cage. I slithered up onto the table and curled up beside it. "I'm gonna help you escape." I hissed at it.

~Dessa's mom

The small group troops through the forest, with myself at the lead.  I have to transform into a swan a few times (me and my daughter share the same transformation). But otherwise, we're good. Until-- "There's so many vines!" A girl complains, the dark shadows of the forest sitting on her face like a veil. I touch a vine. "It feels odd. Something is not right." I say primly. Tash pulls aside a vine, and the rest of the vines followed. SJ pulled more vines away. "It's plastic! They're fake!" She exclaimed. 

I lean against a tree trunk and watch the shapeshifters do the work. Suddenly a girl lets out a hoarse yell. I stride over calmly.

They have revealed a door in the side of a hill covered in vines.

It's a vault-like door. It requires a combination... I stride up to the door and grin. I quietly concentrate, thinking of deadly precision and order.

It changes in a second.

I am a huge black Dragon. 

I quietly swipe the door to shreds with powerful claws, then resume my normal form.

The spirit shifters stare at me. "You can shapeshift--" "--twice. I am a TRUE shapeshifter, not bound to a pathetic SPIRIT ANIMAL!!" I yell, then smile and lead the group into the secret base, without glancing back at the forest.

~Iridessa

CLANG! Alarms blare suddenly. Am I being rescued? 

Alright so this goes all the way back to what was happening inside of her dream...

~SJ

Darkness. Darkness. Death. Darkness.

No, not death. Just darkness. Everywhere darkness. And then a faint light in the distance, a scream, more darkness.

No it wasn't peaceful darkness. It was the kind of darkness before someone gets killed in a border movie. 

And that when the thought crossed my mind for the millionth time this week.

What if I am in a horrer movie?  

Suddenly a raspy voice interrupted my thoughts.

A horrer movie? Younge child, this is much worse then any horrer movie. 

If I could flinch I would've.

Anyway, I have a message for Madi and.....Summers. Tell them it's from the DarkVanger gang.

I gulped. And I felt myself sorrta getting blurry and dizzy, even in the darkness of my mind. I felt myself, how do you put it? Fading. I felt myself fading.

Tell them that they have until sundown to turn themselves, and the small shape shifter army they've managed to collect, over to me or Iridessa Summer's will never see the lights of day again. Tell them to meat us at the broken window in the Science room. There we will take your powers for our own needs. 

And if you don't come, remember that I have the power to kill. 

The darkness slowly lightened and I could hear the voices of Madi and Jay and Princible Summers and.....

I snapped awake. I jumped to my feet, a dreamy haze still surrounding me. 

"I have a message from the DarkVangers."

It wasn't my voice comming from my mouth. It was like, whoever had visited me in the dream world, was somehow controlling me. "You have untill sundown to turn ourselves over to the DarkVangers or else Iridessa Summers will never see the lights of day again. Tell them to meat us at the broken window in the Sience room. There we will take your powers for our own needs.

I stared at everyone around me in shock as the dreamscape faded from my mind. I staggered, my claws scraping the smooth floor. And then I glanced at the door. And in one pound I was there. 

Another I was gone.

~Jay

I stayed after SJ. Well that was weird. I exchange a glance with Tash, who has one hand raised in a confusingly awkward guester. "Those fools." Principle Summers started laughing, slowly at first and then hysterically with a weird glint in her eyes. "THOSE FOOLS!" She bellowed. Madi took a few steps back worrydly. "While they wait for us to show up and hand over our powers, like we would ever do that, well storm their base and resuce Iridessa! Vanger, that fool!" 

"Vanger?" Madi asked. "You mean, Uncle Vanger?"

Suddenly Princible Summers went quiet, and stone cold serious. "Yes, Vanger. Leader of the DarkVangers. He has the power to steal someone else's power. And he though with that power he could take over the world. He got a group of people like him, shapeshifters, and started planning the demolition of the world. He convinced your brother to join him."

Madi's eyes clouded. "That's the relative he was talking about." She whispered half to herself. 

I glanced back at Tash. "We set off in two hours." Principle Summers announced. "Madi, stay here. I want to talk with you. The rest of you, meat back here in two hours. And don't be late."

(Side note, I'm writing everything before we set off. Some things that I'm changing or have ideas if you don't like it are,

So how about Vanger is Madi's uncle, Iridessa's dad and Princible Summer's husband. And how about he used Iridessa's power to visit SJ in the dream scape and tell her that, hypmotizing her for a little after to make sure she told everyone that. Iridessa can either loose her power for only a few moments of forever until her father decides to give it back. You can decide if you like that, Icy. 

Second, how about the type of shape shifters with the Power to turn into mythical creates are called Imperia's. And that's what Madi and all of her family (Iridessa, Princible, Vanger, and her brother) are. And maybe a few others but that's the main bloodline of Imperia's, everyone else can be disstantly related if they want that power. Or maybe all shapeshifters have that power and only a few can master it? I don't know we can go further into this later. 

Lastly I'm just trying to fit the pieces together before we went too far foward with everything, so if anyone wants to backtrack and add on what their characturs were saying or thinking at the moment like Icy maybe you want to write Madi and Princible Summer's conversation and Dragon maybe your opinion on what SJ and Tash are saying. 

Alright I think that's about it I'll continue.)

~SJ

I stalk the dark hallways of the school, thinking.

What had happened? What are the DarkVangers? Somehow, when she heard that voice she thought of the whip. Lashing. Striking. Cool and dark but smooth at the same time. 

And that's when it hit her. She wasn't at any training society for escaped illegal pets. She was at their base. The DarkVanger. They knew she was a Shape shifter. They were just waiting until she gave in and turned.

And bubbling rage grew and boiled inside of her. To the point where she had to strike out. Lashed at something.

She roared, every fur on her body raised, and unleaded her claws. She whirled at the first sound she heard and hit the wall. Hard. Her claws dug in and she ripped. Down down down. Her anger and rage trailing the patterns. And then she heard a voice.

"Better?" The dark shape in the shadows looked like Jay. But when he emerged, it was Tash. His sheepish grin reminded her of safety. Of what life was like before she found out the secret.

This curse.

(Alright I have to switch devices this one is almost dead and I don't want all this to deleat)

~SJ

"Yes. Deffinatly." I let the fur along my spine and sholders relax, slowly dropping and smoothing over. 

There was a silent moment when we stared at eachother with wonder. And then, I felt myself to shrink and then I was human again. Covered in clothes instead of fur.

I shook out my long and tangled hair, remembering how I had changed so drastically this past week. How everyone has. Even Tash. "Are going?" He stuttered. "I mean, to the, ummmm, are you going to storm the DarkVanger base with everyone?" I paused. 

"Well, I havent thought about it." I lied. Couse I had thought about the DarkVangers, giving up the power I didnt even know about, and watch and stand by as they kill and take over the world. Why wouldn't I give any thought to a topic like that?

"Oh..." He stuttered. "Well, in that case, are you planing to go? I mean, if you stay here...."

"I loose the power I didnt even know I had? I mean, I just found out I was a shape shifter! A week ago! Now Im expected to make all these awful choices, risk lives, including my own. Suddenly everyone Ive known has changed, and me, well just look at me! I was popular. The queen bee of our school. Well, other then Madi. I had all the friends in the world, and now...AND NOW, I am the queit nurd in the cornner, this anitsocial freak, with messy hair and makup from three days ago. I have absoluty no friends, all the people I knew whi were my friends, best friends even, have left me. Im nobody now. A week, and Ive gone from the girl of WHS high, to the nobody of WHS high."

I sighed. It felt good to let that out. "And all because of this stupid jaguir. This, this stupid animal part of me." 

There was a pause. He disnt say anything, just stared at something above me. He said he could see my animal form even when I wansnt in it, I wonder what it was doing now. Hopefully running away and hising under a hole. Thats what I wish my human form was doing. "I-I like the new you. I think your extrordanary." 

Extraordinary.  Now thats the kind of comfortment I would get from Jay. Or even one of my old besties. "Thanks." 

His cheeks turned bright red and he looked down and away. And thats when I realized, I needed someone like him. If I kept living like I am, I would get so lonley I might think of doing awful things. Like join the DarkVangers. Or......or actually run away. Jay, he was just an act. I saw how he looked at that Elysia girl and Piper.

And thats when I realized the realization. I kiled Tash. He was more then just a friend.

I felt my face flush. And I smiled a sheepish smile and looked down at the scraped uo floor.

(you can add more on, DRAGON if you want to. Im gonna leave it at that for now)

Piper~

Blare! Blare! Blare! Alarms echo around in my head. The snake-I think his name is shadow- turns his head, confused. Then I see an army of shapeshifters, led by a huge black dragon, barging in. This day just gets weirder and weirder.

~lea 

I sit alone at lunch watching everyone around memthe i feel something sharp in my neck. I pull it out as fast as i can A DART so this is why students are disappearing. I run into the girls bathroom into a stall I try to use my magic to pull the toxins out but it was too late I crumpled to the floor the last thing I remembered before the world went black was madi standing over me...

AUGHH!!! I just posted a whole long thing but then my internet went wierd and it all got deleted! So no way am I writing that all again. Here is a short recap.

Tash realizes that he likes SJ, and sees how all of the principals forms are absolutely insane and she is a danger to everyone there. Is ready to block her at any moment if it is needed. And did I say he likes SJ?

Piper~

I scurry out of the cage as quickly as possible. At the sight of the snake I flinch, but feel bad. This snake isn't a mouse/rodent/hamster eater, Piper! He won't hurt you! He just saved your life! But what if he saved my life...so he could take it? Just to calm my nerves, I ask "Your not, um, planning to....eat me, right?"

"what? Oh, no! I don't eat hamstersss, mice, or any other vermin! Escpecially not..." He hesitates before hissing, "other shiftersss" 

"Wait, how did you know?!"

"There's not a lot of secrets in WHS for us, anymore. Piper." Im confused at how he knows my name, but guess he's right about secrets. I mean, there's a reason I was in a cage two seconds ago. Then he shifts into a human again. "Shadow! It's you! The black mamba!" 

"Ssshhhhhh!" He hisses at me. In my sudden realization, I forgot that there were other people who want me captured in this building. "Oh, right, sorry." I say in a lowered voice. "And, um, thanks for busting me out. You risked your life for me. Why would you do that?"

"Shapeshifters always have each other's backs." I smile. "Thanks again!" I call behind me, careful not yell, as I run in the direction I think Iridessa might be. Shadow seems to know what I'm doing, as he slithers foward (in snake form now) to follow me. I shift into my hamster form, then, with all my concentration, become invisible. The walls are all white in here, and they remind me of my cage  White, cold, bare. As I keep going, I sense something. Is this a power too? (Side note: I think the shifters/Imperia's should be able to sense one another's presence. Just an idea.) And then I see it: A large box in the corner. It looks like it could house a prisoner. "Iridessa!"  

~

I wanna be connected to the Imperia somehow. Like maybe my mom was Vaner's (or whatever his name is) cousin? 

~Shadow

I knew Piper was a shapeshifter, for regular hamsters like her wouldn't be so human-like in actions. I only helped her because she was my neighbor, and would cause lots of suspicion around the neighborhood if she was gone for too long. It is considerably safer saving her, although i don't trust anyone. I slither after Piper's heartbeat when she turned invisible. "Iridessa!" she called out when she stopped in front of a large box. Piper changes human and uninvisibled, then opened up the box. "SHIFT!" the principal's voice suddenly roars, more throaty and unusual than any normal animal speak. I shifted, being startled by the voice, then slithered over to the swan and hamster now where the girls were a moment earlier. We dart into a pipe. "It's Shadow." Piper whispers to Iridessa. The principal and some a group of voices came in. "This is where the prinsoners were kept." the principal's throaty voice growled. "There are no guards here. UNLESS THIS IS A TRAP!" the group shouted. Doors slammed, and soon, the alarm calmed into silence. Suddenly a voice that seemed to come from the screen on the wall started bleeping, and reflected onto the floor as blue light. "Welcome, visitors to the Darkvanger HQ. You have not been invited, and this is a top secret facility. Maxi brother of Madi, the apprentice of our leader Liam Vanger, will we visiting you shortly for a discussion. Prepare for possible punishment." it bleeped. (I don't know Madi's last name)"We got to get out of here I hissed at Iridessa and Piper.

~ Tash

"Its a trap" we yell, but to late. The floor dropped out from underneath us and we fell right into the hands of the Darkvanger Association. They were everywhere and since we were caught off guard and since most of us were in smaller animal forms, we were easily caught and shoved into separate cages. I shift back into human form and leap to my feet. Walking to the bars of my cage, I see a boy, about my age walk into the room. (he was the one that attacked Madi in the first spirit animal thread right?) he had jet black hair and I could see his wolf form stalking around. I look down at my linx. He stalks through the bars and stands near to the wolf, ready to block Maxi if he shows any sign of shifting. With the look on his face, I wanted to take no chances.
