.ghost......decode....

Both rider and horse seemed to move as one. Ghost moved naught upon the back of Decode, the jet black andalusian moving at a slow, collected trot. They had traveled all day with no where in mind, Emo, Ghost's faithful belgian malinois wolf cross following behind closely and keeping an eye out for any who might dare to harm her mistress. Ghost never went anywhere without a blade strapped to her back, a dagger at a hip and just as a precaution, a gun at her waist. She wasn't afraid of the animals, no indeed. She was afraid of humans and what deeds they could do of one another. She was an albino, with her white hair, pale skin and pink eyes. She rode Decode with nothing but a bridle, trusting the young mare completely.

As the three neared the ruins, Emo's hackles raised, and a low growl escaped her lips. Ghost's red eyes flickered to the hybrid, but then transferred back to the ruins. Decode herself was a bit antsy, prancing away from the devilish site and pulling at the reins to get away. With a huff, Ghost slipped from the mares back and tied her to a tree branch, thin enough that she could break if she needed to make a quick getaway. Emo followed the albino as she began to step up to the ruin walls, her hands gently touching the stone. She looked like a twelve year old girl, not a woman who had escaped from jail three times and had laughed her way right out of a mental institution. No, Ghost was a different breed of person all together. And she was here in the Haunter's neighborhood.

Joey, Jack and Hura

Joey the large Bull Elphant was the first to notice the intruders and he sent out a warning to both the rest of the haunters and the three intruders and then he proceeded toward the intruders his trunk held up.halt intruders!He spoke knowing that the dog would atleast know he was speaking. Humans weren't gifted with speach.

On Joey's head was a Capuchin monkey who was just there because.

Hura a Polar bear who was one of the mothers also came too and stood beside Joey. She acted on occasion as a guard seeing as she could fill that role as well.

Ghost

As the bull elephant came from the ruins, she took a step back but she looked him over with a kind eye. Well... Kind for her. She gave a smile, and lifted a hand in a careless wave, as though the elephant would understand. Well, now... Look at you big guy. She murmered softly. Her words were gentle, for she never felt the need to harm an animal, and believed that everyone should be at peace with them. Emo ran forth and grabbed hold of his mistress's shirt arm, due to the fact that she was wearing only a corset even in this snowy weather. Decode turned her black body to face Hura. Forgive us... She does not know any better, and believes that she shall go wherever she wishes. She means no harm, indeed, she is quite a good person...

Joey

He tossed his head at the wave not understanding the motion or the words.Then Decode apologized and claimed the women was a good person.You may believe her kind and mean us no harm but we don't know that. She could be a spy, she could be anything. Humans well most humans are just plain troubleHe spoke.

Hura listened and snorted daring the human to do something.

Jack mean while went off to find Risen to see what they should do with the intruders.

Mahala; Night Eyes

Mahala strode out of the Temple with Night Eyes, her canine companion, at her side. Mahala stopped in front of Joey, her dark eyes showing years of intelligence.

Night Eyes looked up at the elephant. "Don't be so cynical, Joey. Mahala will handle this." He said in a low tone.

Mahala looked at the albino woman. Her own skin was dark. Her hair was jet-black. "Welcome to the land of the Shadow-Dwellers, friend. I am Mahala. May I ask why you have come?" She asked in her soft, sweet voice.

Ghost

As soon as she saw the girl, her eyes went flat, and all the joyous emotion left her face. I came because its a free country, Mahala. She was about five feet tall, and she looked as though she belonged in a church school room, except those eyes were deadly, viper eyes. Emo stood at her side and gave a low growl to both Night Eyes and Mahala, warning them to stay back. She was nervous with so many people around, and the young womans hand rested on her head lightly. Easy, Marshika. She murmered softly to the female. Why are you here, Mahala?

Joey

Dog i suggest you don't growl at our members you are on our turfhe spoke.

Hura yawned.

Mahala; Night Eyes

Mahala nodded, being polite the whole time. "You are welcome to explore our home. I trust that you will not bring any harm to my friends." She said softly and meekly.

Night Eyes glanced at Emo, his eyes narrowed. "We mean no harm, stranger. You can trust us, as we trust you." The dog stated, sitting down on the cold stone.

Mahala continued. "This is my home, Ma'am. I am a member of this humble pack."

Ghost

Ghost's eyes were on Mahala, and her hand knotted into Emo's fur. Not a painful knot, just enough to ground herself and to keep herself sane. A pack you say? She murmered softly. But that was all, and she began to walk, Emo at her side. The female mix kept her ears pinned back and her fangs bared, but it was a warning for the others to stay back. She to was unsteady in the mind, just as unsteady as her master and any wrong move could set her off into a fit of rage. She by passed the bear, the elephant and the monkey wandering inside of the ruins calmly and without fear. Decode watched her master disappear, then looked to Night Eyes. Forgive her... She... Doesn't act well, nor right around humans. She had never understood why her master did the things she did, but Mahala was safe for she was not like the resto f the world and was indeed, a REAL person, and not a fake.

Joey

He tossed his trunk.Stop baring your fangs on someone elses turf, others may take it as a challengehe spoke.

Hura bared her own fangs in her own warning. They were on Shadow Haunter turf they had all the right to be as close to them as possible if they needed to be.
