Edward

ah, so this is civilization. well, no one ever said it'd be pretty. looking around, my sensitive nose tingled at the smell at days old garbage. walking over broken glass and crushed beer cans, i surveyed the area with curiousity. the scent of wolves and other feral creatures filled the air. looking up, i watched the steady breeze move through clothes drying on a line far above my head. the breeze was chilly, but i had always had a good tolerance for cooler weather. looking down at my baggy jeans and tight weather beater shirt thoughtfully, i sighed and ran my long fingers through the tousled auburn hair that unfortunately was my own. kicking a crushed coca cola can absently, i continued my slow walk through the alleyways, wondering what i'd find here. if anything.

Zane Adymn

Zane was exploring the alleys by himself.At least thats what he had planned on doing.A irritated voice behind him told him he was wrong.

"Zane i don't see how you can stand exploring in places like this,"said his younger sister Alexandra.She liked being out in the sun better than anything else really.Not to mention the horrible smells of these places.

"Nobody said you had to come,"he said.Thats when he heard something.Turning he saw a coke can rolling.Not far from it was some guy.He held up a finger behind him that the other guy wouldn't be able to see warning Alex to be quiet.

Edward

Amber gaze continued to scan the area subtlely, growing boreder by the minute. Maybe I should have brought Jacob with me. Then at least I'd get a dog as company. Crooked smirk pulled at labias at the thought. But then it loosened, going back to a blank expression. No sense in thinking of him. It would only lead to thinking of her. And that was the last thing I needed. Acute sense of smell suddenly picked up something. Human or animal? It smelled like homo sapien. Twins narrowed slightly as other senses came into play. The shadows not too far down the alley seemed...occupied. But I couldn't be sure without approaching. And by the sound of his, her, or their silence, I'd guess they don't want to be approached. So instead I shrugged my shoulder lightly and turned away, letting the infinite paleness of my skin guide me forward, as well as sharp eyesight, especially at night. I'd have to find shelter during the day of course. God, I hated sunlight. I'd take rainy or cloudy any day. Raking right hand through my auburn colored hair, I continued slowly down the alleyway at a trudge, harks still attuned to the figure/s in the dark behind me, in case it was a mugger or something.

Bonnie; Andrea; *Pack*

Bonnie, riding the mule Sophia, wandered to the alleys. A snake was coiled around her arm. She was told that there were many feral dogs and hybrids here.

Along with her came her twin sister Andrea, riding the zorse Eclipse. "Are you sure about this, Bonnie?" She asked. There was no answer.

The pack followed. In the lead were Amber and Sean, between them was Shiver, and behind them was Wolfe, Lupe, and their hybrid pups.

Bonnie soon noticed the other people. She thought to turn back, but she thought again. "Who's there?" She called out.

Edward

Footsteps stopped as sensitive auds picked up the sound of hoof beats. What would a horse be doing down here. Turning slowly, golden voids widened slightly at the sight that reached them. A girl riding a mule, another girl on a strange striped horse, and wolves following. This was more than strange. It was just plain weird. As one of the girls, I thought it might be the one in the lead on the mule, called out, I thought about turning to run. They'd never catch up to me if I did. It'd be simpler, easy. But easy wasn't always right. I wasn't even sure why I had come to this place. Might as well find out about it while I'm here. Standing my ground, I spoke back, not quite at a yell but peircing enough to be heard.

I am called Edward. And yourselves?

Bonnie & Andrea

Bonnie nodded, her blue eyes showing little emotion. "I am Bonnie Hatchett. This is my sister Andrea." She pointed at the girl beside her. "What are you doing here?"

Andrea was a bit nervous. "Bonnie, we should call Ethan." She whispered. Bonnie, yet again, didn't listen.

Edward

Voids flashed between the two damsels in interest. What could two girls and a pack of wolves be doing down an alleyway in the dark? And they're asking me what I'm doing here? I could have laughed at the question. I think I fit in just a tad bit more. But then again, I didn't know these lands well enough. Maybe this was normal around here. Facing the girl who called herself Bonnie, as she seemed the self appointed leader of the strange parade, I absently shifted my hands into my front pockets. Chasms of rich golden amber darted to the other huntress as I heard her whisper loud and clear. Very sensitive hearing. My blessing and my curse. As were a few other things. I wondered only for a brief moment who this Ethan was before addressing myself to Bonnie.

Hello Bonnie, Andrea. I was simply passing through the alleys. Its more my type of place, I guess. No real reason for being here, it just so happened that I walked my way here. What about you now? Do I get an answer to the same question now?

Bonnie

Bonnie mumbled something under her breath. She was beginning to feel uncomfortable with this kid. After all, why wouldn't she be here? She was, in fact, one of the toughest female members of the ATHA, if not the toughest. "I'm hunting." She answered shortly, not caring about manners at all at the moment. "Hunting wolves. I've seen some around here."

"We're with the Atroe Hunting and Trapping Alliance, you know." Andrea added. Not many people knew about the darker side of the ATHA, nor about its mysterious leader.

Bonnie nodded. "She's right. And if you wouldn't mind stepping aside..." She looked from Edward to Zane to Alexandra, "...You're scaring the animals away."

Alexandra Adymn

Alex was furious at her brother, and was about to give him a piece of her mind when she heard something.Turning she saw two woman,a man, and there animals.Narrowing her eyes she simply watched."Right like we're scaring some animals,"she whispered under her breath as she stepped aside.She decided against waving her arms forward as if mocking the group to continue on, but she really could care less."Zane lets just go,"she said keeping her gaze on the others incase they tried anything.

Zane looked at his sister, but said nothing.He could care less, and simply moved out of their way.He watched as well though.He wasn't stupid about this kind of things.Turn your back, and something happens he thought.He waited.

Bonnie

Bonnie narrowed her eyes and grumbled. "Don't play dumb with me. You can't seriously think I literally meant 'step aside,' can you? I pity those as foolish as yourselves." She scowled. All the years of the violent activity in Atroe City had hardened her. "I mean leave."

Andrea leaned over to her twin sister. "Bonnie, calm down!" She whispered. Truthfully, she was surprised to see Bonnie like this.

Alexandra Adymn

Alex was furious now."Why should we leave?We were here first, and you are most definetly not my boss,"she said through clenched teeth.She stood there refusing to move.

Zane was worried now."Alex maybe we should leave,"he said.He was worried for his little sister well being, and hoped she listen to him.

Alex glared at him."I don't have to leave if i don't want to,"she said.Her eyes held blue fire.

Edward

Golden hued tabiries watched the scene play out, standing motionless before the macabre band of travelers. Hunters, did they say? Wolves? Ooids flashed to the pack following the horse and donkey. Seems they already have plenty to me. But I wanted no trouble. Not yet anyways. I still had to get the lay of the town and its townfolk. But this girl, the girl on the horse, had an attitude. Crooked smile played on features as the other girl (Did the boy with her call her Alex?) played the attitude right back. I chuckled softly, wondering how long this could go on. Ember orbs gleamed warmly as I stepped into the shadows, watching the argument with interest. Finding the wall of a building behind me, I leaned back, letting my arms casually bend against the wall. Crossing legs in a relaxed pose, crown leaned back, watching and waiting.
