Starting in the morning... I'll finish last night's story through Seth's thoughts.

Seth~

I wake up hearing Giniva's words from last night.

"All right! Truce," she had said, "But we have to find that shadow tomorrow." And now today's tomorrow. Er, today's today. I mean... never mind. I wish that I could mess with my pen, but I overslept (again), so now I have to rush to fufill my morning routine, which is:

1: Dress, tucking my pen in my pocket.

2: run my hand through my hair as I dash out of the dorms, hoping that it looks brushed enough.

3: Step on Andrew's toes as I pass him by.

4: Race Tristin to the Big Hall.

Today, I added two more steps in my breakfast routine:

5. Avoid Laria 

and 

6: Wave frantically to Giniva and then sit at a different table ;).

I can't help thinking of the shadow, the bushes, the owl, and how I'm purposefully going back to it again tonight. 

~Storm 

I hooted. I just remembered tonight(the one in the day which Rping which is quite a few days back) was the night when the stealth's leaders will be meeting here. Silverpaw crawled out of a bush, the other leaders came from diffrent directions. Cyl and I landed on a branch of the closest tree to the cleering. "So you decided to come." Silverpaw said, narrowing her(or is it he? I will use her for now.) eyes. Cyl's feathers tightened closer to her body, meaning she was frightened, like all owls do. I puffed mine up and spoke quickly. "Cyl decided to come back, coffess, and say sorry about not telling you about what happened. Cyl?" Cyl's feathers relaxed, in a normal, calm position. Now pause! I will not say what Cyl says and the outcome of the meeting. It's Cyl's rights to say what she wants to say. I will just be supportive.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now fast-forward to the present. I had checked the Cricket website on my ipad, and I found Zephyra's letter, posted by Charlie. I decoded it(i also posted the decoding on the forum) but it said

BIG WILL SOON LEARN SECRET OF POWER OF WING. WARN OTHER GUARDIANS. KEEP OTHER POWERS SAFE. Z

This is bad.  

A girl runs down the hallway. I glare at her. She and a ton of other people have been acting so weird since we found the crow. I know why. They are spies. I know animals have emotions and feelings. I have heard the crow muttering to herself about her nephew and something called FAFA. I know FAFA is going to destroy B.I.G. I have tried to tell Cornelia. Cornelia has not listened.

Laria~

I yawn at the breakfast table, rubbing my eyes. The DO NOT ENTER room was locked (Dur) and I didn't get much sleep last night. I see Seth across the cafeteria, waving frantically at some girl only a few tables away. I grip the table, resisting the urge to run over and punch him in the face. The guy next to me, Travis (Person I made up) glances at me.

"You ok?"

"Yup," I snarl. He frowns at me.

"Your knuckles are turning white," he points out. I release the table and force myself to look away from the spy. "Which is your first class?" he continues.

"MART, I think," I reply. Travis grins.

"Oh, yeah, that's cool. It's taught by a guy about your age, Seth S., I think." My chest fills with anger again. I force myself to smile.

"Cool!" The bell rings, signaling the end of breakfast. I shove my tray into the trash can and dash after Seth, hoping to get a word in. But he's too far away. He meets my eye. I give my best 'We-need-to-talk' look. He saw it a lot when we worked together. I know he sees and recognizes it. He bolts, slipping into a Staff Only hallway while I'm carried in a wave of people into the MART. I quietly reslove to see himn after class.

I sit grudgingly down in the front row, ready to glare at him and leap into action the moment he dismisses class. He walks up onto the small stage. He meets my eye again. I'm ready with a glare. He clears his throat. 

"Um, welcome to the first day of MART classes, I'm Seth. Today, we'll be observing foxes. Please follow me. . ." 

As soon as class finishes, I leap forward and grip Seth's shoulder in a steel vice. He cringes and turns around. "I know you've seen me here, Seth. We need to talk." He meets my eyes, looking resigned and pained. "Seth, why did you do it?" He stares at the ground. Then he shrugs.

"I've got another class in five minutes. I've got to go." He wrenches himself away.

"Seth!" I scream. "Get back here!" he continues. I try to pursue, but soon find out that it's hopeless. I storm back to my dorm. B.I.G. isn't too bad about us missing classes so long as they know we're in our dorm sketching or solo studying or something. I collapse onto my bed. I'm rather shocked to find myself sobbing. This is so frustrating! I can't get him to talk to me.

I take a deep breath and pick up my sketch book, holding it up so that the security camera in the corners can see that I'm working and then I start sketching a machine I'd been thinking about for a while. After ten minutes, a teacher comes in.

"Miss, it's time for lunch. I don't think you heard the bell."

"Thanks," I murmur. I promise myself that at any cost, I will talk to Seth. 

I'm so confused!! What's going on? Who are the group leaders? Am I one? Please help me understand!!

"So," Kasumi began, "got any plans to completely destroy B.I.G.?"  I smiled. "Actually, I do. Well, it's part of a plan. Okay, you may have heard about a weird organization called FAFA, and how it fights against BIG.... FAFA kiiiind of recruited me." Kasumi looks at me, comfused. I continue explaining, rushing to make Kasumi understand. "Well, this weird crow called Little Crow flew up to me while I was napping and gave me a peice of bark that had a messege written on it, the messege was from FAFA, and the messege asked me if I would join FAFA, I told Little Crow to tell FAFA that I'll join, then he hands me this other peice of bark from him saying that his Aunt was captured by BIG while she was spying on them or something, then he flew off."

She gave me a look and said. "That isn't a plan." I roll my eyes and say: "I was just explaining to you the BASIS of the plan so you would understand the plan once I got to it." While Kusami thinks over what I said, I have a bit of time to think.

I haven't talked to kasumi in years. For that matter, I haven't rolled my eyes at her since we were small.

"Then explain the plan already." I smile again, and begin to explain it. "'Kay, here's the plan: I join FAFA and help then destroy BIG, when we attack BIG's base, I'll find the man," My eyes blaze and my tail alshes angrily as I remember the man. "and then I'll destroy him." Kasumi steps back a little when she sees me angry. Quickly I cover up my emotions and ask: "So, any questions?" "Who's this man you're talking about?" She asks. I immediantly start mentally hitting myself for mentioning him. "He...... it doesn't matter."

She gives me a look that says:

Explain it to me 'cause we're friends and friends explain things.

I look down and mumble: "He killed my family." Kasumi looks shocked, and for a second I see the other her, the her that had played and laughed and had sympathy, just as quickly as the look had appeared, it disapeared and she was a shadow of herself again. Then she says: "Oh...." But it was the type of 'oh....' that said more than the word. It said how much Kasumi understood. I just smiled a sad smile.

Fwit, fwit!

Something imbedded itself into my fur, and then everything went dark.

CREEK-CREEK

The door to my mailbox hung ajare. There was a large amount of water slushing about the lid. When I saw this I rushed out of the one-story flat that my parents owned. The mailman sometimes left the rusty mailbox hanging open on accident and it was unfortunate that he left it open on the night of a storm. I rushed across the pavement and shoveled the slightly soggy letters out of its mouth. I left the door open so the water would either be evaporated or drunk by small birds.

Flipping thru the papers I came across somthing that I normally didn't see; a pearly white envelope had the last things I'd expect for that normal cloudy spring morning. The two things were printed and stamped on the envelope. The first was a name, my name Page Parker, and the bright red wax seal of B.I.G.

I knew they were asking around for young employees, but me? Then a thought crossed my mind that probably completely changed my mind. If I was chosen out of the large pool of sidesens to work there chances are so was my frenemy, Pheonix. Knowing her, she would choose rebellion over loyalty, especially for large or might I say B.I.G. incorporations like this. Maybe she would like to make this a contest between me and her. Flipping the paper open quickly revealed more proof that she would choose to spy. Printed in a muddy paw was the words "DONT TAKE THE JOB!!!"

That itself sealed the deal. I teleported to the foot of Bleak Peak in the shadows. I wanted just to know if Pheonix was going to come, and just as I expected she came crashing thru the underbrush then noticed that there was no entrance so she quickly teleported to the top. Maybe it would be safer if I waited awhile. In the end I teleported back home and went to sleep. I will go tomorrow. I will join B.I.G. 

Katydid asked for a list of classes... here are my suggestions.

Each wing of classes (such as MART, TOPS, or Life Class) is broken into smaller topics which are taught by instructors. Each branch has an overseer (like Seth), who gathers all students in a wing of science and gives them an overveiw of the day, an update on B.I.G.'s sucess before sending them to the classes within the branch (like Cosmetics testing or Biochemistry). 

First off, we have MART (Minor Animal Research Trasanctions) lab. This is broken into:

Cosmetics Testing

Life Observations

RAE (Repurposing and Experimenting. In other words, domesticating wild animals and doing other experiments) 

and

Collecting Species 

Second, we have Major Animal Research Transactions (called TOPS, which is lab-slang for Top Secret) This is where they are working out the stuff about the Power of Wing, and other powers. You can only take this branch if you have been through MART classes and have been chosen by Prof. Hornshaw. 

Next, we have Life Class, boken into:

Biochemstry

Nature Studies (Pretty much: Nature and How We Can Harness It).

and

Wild Tacticts (Pretty much: Containing the Wild in Cages) 

Fourth, we have Mechanics Lab, divided into:

Technical Engineering

Inventing (Yes, this is broad. I mean learning about the process of invention by "Inventing.")

Metal-working

and

Machine Designing.

These are just my ideas, and anyone is welcome to add!
