I was walking through the forest. It was only around 5:30 and the sun was just beginning to go down. It let off the colors of fall, red, orange, and yellow. The trees swayed in the wind as their shadows grew larger. The sky turned red and purple growing darker by the minute. Days seemed shorter now as we entered into winter. It was only Halloween night but it was still very chilly. The moon was rising and you could see its full moon glow for miles. Beautiful. That was the only way to describe the night. Life for me was normal. I was usually by myself and it wasn't that interesting. Still it was a life. "Wait for me!" a voice yelled as I snapped out of my daydream. Right, I had almost forgotten about my friend! We were going trick or treating (or at least he was!) and we saw many other creatures doing the same thing. Unlike us though, the rest were all young critters. Jake was a little kid at heart so I just sucked it up and walked with him while he got the candy.
Halloween is awesome! It’s my favorite holiday! With all the ghouls, goblins, and vampires, what’s not to love?! I’m fearless when it comes to the creepy and scary! I’ll take on any haunted house at any time! Nothing can scare me! OK, well maybe I’m exaggerating a little, but still I’m really tough! Candy! The other best thing about Halloween! Too bad Mitchell doesn’t know that if I have too much I go insanely hyper! Sucks to be him!
       The longer we were out, the later it got. It was really dark out now but Jake was still running through the woods wildly looking for more houses. I think we might be getting lost because I haven’t seen a house for about 3 miles now! I was in no rush to get home but I knew sooner or later Jake would pass out from exhaustion. We traveled a bit longer till I stopped and said, “Jake stop. It’s too late at night and we’re lost. We have to figure out where we are.” By this point Jake had already slowed down to a lethargic walk. He agreed easily and we stood trying to hear the sound of water or the smell of where we came from. Nothing. I could smell nothing. Crack! I thought I heard a noise!

"We should probably head home soon. We didn't even participate in the trick-or-treating tonight!" Flare said, annoyance gripping her words. The Sun Leafet glared at the forest that loomed over head. She plodded along. She stopped at turned to her partner. "Okay, were lost," She said, huffing in the dark. She turned to her partner, not looking forward to her reaction. Azure stared at Flare. "Theres really no reason to be worried about it. We'll get home when we get home," She said. She turned and snapped a twig. She flipped her focus onto Flare. Her eyes told all. What if were not the only ones here?

Flare, Human --->

The night had finally came, as the two creatures walked along the forest. A gray fog started to roll in, making this place a little spooky. It was Halloween after all. Vajra's ears started to twitch as he walked along the worn path of the forest. The howling wind sounded like angry screams of the dieing. Will we die here tonight? The Moor had already die once and he did not want it to happen again. He thought about the rumors of the missing explorers. If they did die, it would be more from starvation from being lost, than being killed by someone. The wind blow a cross tree leafs and bushes, making them sound like someone was following them. The Baskerville heard the sounds of wings flapping above him. Vajra knew who it was, it was his large feathered companion. Looking up at his feathered companion. "Can you accompany me on the ground, Xiuhcoatl? It gets rather tired some, to look up to speak to you." Shaking his head as he watched his flying companion. If only he had some wings. It could of been worst, he could of travel with someone annoying.

The Chaos Garudor was high in the air. She could see that the gray fog was coming in from left side of the forest. Xiuhcoatl could hear the gust of wind be low her. It was funny, the fog, wind and dark forest reminded her of a scary movie. Would a ax murder jump out from behind a tree? She knew that their were no killers out here, or maybe they were. Murders were in small towns, not in the middle of nowhere. The Garudor heard her companion's question. "I will be down in a little while. I want some more time in the air." She had a plan on scaring Vajra, all she had to do was wait until the Moor was not paying attention to her. After 15 minutes in the air, Vajra stopped paying attention to his feathered companion. Descending from the sky, Xiu landed on the moist ground. She looked round for a place to hide, she found a large enough tree. Peeking around the tree to see how far Vajra was. She could see that he was close enough for her to jump out. Standing parallel to the tree, she could hear her companion's breathing. The Garudor jumped out. "BOO!"

Xiu laugh so hard that her side started to hurt. The reaction on Vajra's face was priceless. Vajra almost fell in the moist dirt. "What the heck! That was not funny, Xiu." He pulled back his lip, baring his white teeth at her. "It was funny. I need to have fun, we did not go trick-o-treating this night, so I need other form of entertainment." Vajra jumped towards her, missing her by inches. Xiu took off into the air before her companion could get to her. They both stopped what they were doing when they heard a twig snap. Descending from the sky, Xiuhcoatl landed next to her companion. "What or who could that be? I didn't know anyone is out here." They both looked at each other for a moment. They walked towards the noise on their right.

[D3thNote]

I was looking around my surroundings. It was unusual that I couldn't figure out where we came from. There was a mist all around that made you feel like you were in a maze. Perhaps the story's of this land were true. I wondered around in a few different directions trying to find something familiar, but there was nothing. I figured that Jake would just stand where I left him, but I could always be wrong. I continued my search by foot. My wings were hurting from an incident a few days ago, so I didn't want to search by air.

I was tired now. Maybe I shouldn't of had so much candy. The sugar rush wore off. I was so out of it that I didn't even notice when Mitchell went from searching the ground to searching by air (either he was in the air or I was hallucinating). I followed him as he flew in the air. He was flying a bit weird though. "Maybe he stole some of my candy" I thought to myself to dismiss the wierdness of his flight. I ran over to where he landed. It took me a minute or two but when I got to him he seemed to be with another creature. The creature was a black and green k9, he even had a spike ball on his tale. I moved closer to them and said, "So do you know where we are yet?" I was thinking that I was talking to Mitchell, but something seemed off.

[auntslappy282]

Flare heard the voice of another creature. She froze in her tracks. She spun around and decided it might be for the best if she slowly, but surely approached the noise. It sounded like they were lost anyways. I walked slowly toward the bushes that lined the small amount of trees that were in the area. She waved her tail to her companion to come look. There was a dog with  a spiked tail, one bird, and a dog. There wasn't a very clear view to see exactly who they were, and not to mention it was dark and misty.

Azure followed quietly next to her partner. She looked. These guys don't look to dangerous. She thought. She decided it might not be in there favor to take a move before they do, or Flare does. They seemed to be lost. "Do you think it's safe?" Azure whispered but was quickly shushed by a tail in the mouth.

(Sorry If my colors change. I'm kind of a failure. ^^;)

[Sappheara]

Vajra walked in between some large bushes and several of trees. The gray fog was growing thicker as time passed, he wouldn't be surprise if he hit a tree or even fall off a cliff. Is there a cliff in this forest? Why did it matter. As he fully walked through the bushes and trees, the Moor feet touched the blackish moist dirt, he looked around, there a small part of the forest that was empty. There was barely anything, just black dirt in all four directions. It looked like someone ripped out the bushes and trees, as well as the roots in the center of the area. It look like it was 5 feet a cross and 10 feet wide, with trees and bushes surrounding the area. In the center of the area had an odd symbol drawn in it. On some of the trees had strings attached to human and animal figures hanging. It was an odd thing to see, even if it was in a middle of an forest. He's ears started twitching as he heard his companion above him.

Vajra looked around the area before calling out his companion. "Xiuhcoatl! I want you to see this." She was better at figuring things out than he was. The Garudor landed beside her companion, folding her wings close to her body. She looked in the same direction her companion was looking. "I read about these kind of things. I've never seen one before." She looked at the area than back at her companion. "This is Whisper Forest after all. Your going to see odd things like this. " Xiuhcoatl was unsure what exactly what it could be. Maybe the people who made this was playing around or they could be trying to call something from the after life. I think it would be best if we go the other way. I don't trust this area. Xiu stretched out her wings and slowly started to flap them. Pulling her wings close her body once again, she pointed on the left side of them. "We should go that way."

Vajra and Xiu took the direction to their left. They both continue to walk and talk about what they have seen. A small hound like dog ran up to Xiuhcoatl asking her an odd question. What does this pup mean by that question? She cocked her head to one side as she continued to stare at the Cobalt Sahound. Why does this Sahound talk as if he knows me? "Indeed, I know where we are." She looked back at her companion than back at the Sahound. "The real question is..." Xiu was cut off by Vajra. "Who are you and why do you act as if you know my companion?" The Moor got in front of his companion as if he could protect her from the smaller K9. She didn't need his protection. A growl came from the back of Vajra's throat. He started to bare he's sharp white teeth at the other dog.

[D3thNote]

I heard my friends voice in the distance behind me. An unfamilliar growl was heard a few seconds after. Jake was in trouble and I wasn't going to just leave him alone. I jumped up into the air and began to flap. At first my balance was off because of my injured wing but a few more seconds into the flight I was able to use it like normal. I flew through the woods viciously to where Jake was. Who are you and why do you act as if you know my companion? I heard as I survayed the situation. Swooping down quickly I landed infront of Jake, and just a few inches away fron the other creature. "He knows me!" I said strongly right as I landed. I continued, "He means you no harm. We are lost and he thought that one of you might know where we are. So your turn, who are you?"


Mitchell looked at me oddly. He spoke- wait this bird isn't him! It's a female voice! Before I was able to proccess what just happened the large black k9 growled and beared his teeth at me. I was just a small playful pup, not some feirce worrior! I huddled into myself, tail between the legs. Fear took over and I became stiff. For a minute I thought that I might be a gonner, but then Mitchell arrived. Thank god! Unlike me he could fight and he wasn't easily scared. I got ahold of myself again as I listened to what Mitchell was saying.

[auntslappy282]

Flare nodded at Azure. Flare tried, as silently as possible, to walk out of the bushes. They crackled a tiny amount, but not as much as it would have if she just shove through it. "Hello! Before we break out into a large fight, maybe we should talk?" Flare wasn't expecting the greatest from her approach in. She expected it to be more like, a fight turned against her. She smiled her happiest smile, then realized there was another bird. "Crap," She sighed under her breath.

Azure smacked her front paw on her face, making a large thwap. She decided it to be best to join Flare in her utmost stupidity. She walked out of the bushes and stood next to Flare. She stood taller then the Leawolf and was happy about looking stronger then some of the other creatures.

(To clarify, Flare is NOT in her human form. )

[Sappheara]

Xiuhcoatl pulled Vajra back as other Chaos Garudor landed in front of the smaller dog. "You must forgive me companion. He does not think before he reacts." She stepped in front of the Moor before something bad could happen. "I am Xiuhcoatl and this is my companion Vajra." She slightly bow to the others and elbowed her companion to do the same. "To specifically answer your smaller companion's question. We are in Whisper Forest, I'm unsure exactly where in the forest we are. You probably already know that." Xiu heard a some noise coming from behind her. Turning around a female voice spoke up.

Vajra bowed after Xiu elbowed him. Russel from a bush was heard from behind them. The Moor turned around at the same time as his companion. A soft feminine voice spoke up. How many are out here? A human woman/Sun Leawolf continued to walk towards them. Fight? What fight? He realize what she was talking about. "There will be no fighting. It was a misunderstanding on my part. I over reacted and I do apologize for any harm that cause to the smaller K9."  After he finish speaking a Sky Slynx walked out from behind the bush. "Before this conversation can go any further we must know everyone's name. I'm Vajra and this is Xiuhcoatl." Even though Xiu said their names early, the two newcomers wasn't here.

(Unsure if your Sun Leawolf is in human form or not, Aunt.)

[D3thNote]

I looked at Jake as he shook himself back into reality. The creatures before us appologized for the misunderstanding and I was willing to do the same. We were all in the same surcumstance. Lost and protective of our friends. "I'm sure I didn't help the situation any." I said to the creatures before I answered their questions. "My easily scared friend here is named Jake and I'm Mitchell. Sorry for any misunderstanding" I looked around at the four new creatures. They all seemed genuinely kind and there was no reason for me to be on attack. I backed off as I waitted to hear everyone elses names.

I looked at the creatures before me as they appologized for their actions. It made me feel a bit silly seeing how I almost created a fight. I looked at Mitchell and waited for him to reply. He was always the more leader type between us and he always stated his point straigt forward. I got up and stood beside my friend.

[auntslappy282]

Flare smiled at the others. "Apology accepted! I'm Flare and this is my fried Azure. Nice to meet you all! So why are you all out in the forest on Halloween night?" She cooked her head to the side. She sat down and neatly laid her tail on her paws.

Azure shifted uneasily on her feet at the mention of her name. Something was odd about the clearing...And the people around them. She turned her head to the side. A look of utmost fright fell on her face when she dolls and the circle that looked like a spell was going to be made, as if to summon demons. "Uh... Guys?" She whispered.

[Sappheara]

Xiuhcoatl answered Flare's question. "My companion cause stand be around to many little children. With the little monsters running, pushing, yelling and everything else. So we deiced to come out here to Whisper Forest to have some kind of adventure. So far, surprisingly we found the four you out here as well." Xiu stretched out her feathered wings while she spoke. She was unclear to what exactly could be entertaining out here. No, that was a lie, the rumors of this place made her companion and her come out here. "How about the rest of you guys?" The lite conversation made seem like everyone was back to themselves.

Vajra was listening to everyone speak. Some asking questions, while others answering them. This was an odd group, two dog like creatures, two large birds, and two cat like creatures. Who would of thought their night would turn out like this? He heard someone speak in a tiny voice, or did he? That was the question of the hour. Vajra looked at every single creature that stood before him. As his eyes landed on the Sky Slyx, he realize that she was trying to get everyone's attention. He was sure, but Azure looked uncomfortable. He may be wrong. "Hey guys! I believe that Azure has something to say."

[D3thNote]

I was listening to the others talking. Some seemed relaxed while others looked like they may be more devious. It didn't matter though, because whatever was in this forest was much worse. I could sense something off about this place and it gave me a bad vibe. I didn't mind though, it would make the time here interesting. I looked over to Azure and asked her, "What is it?"

The conversation was going well. Everyone seemed to be getting along. The six other voices I heard seemed to comfort me. It made me forget about the fact that we are lost in a creepy forest. Wait- six voices? Mitchell, Azure, Flare, Xiuhcoatl, and Vajra. That counts five! Who is the sixth voice?! I began to panic, then I heard it again! This time I listened closely. "Get out, Get out." It was saying. I froze in my spot. The voice didn't belong to anyone! It was if it came from the air. Ghost! I couldn't even speak, my heart was beating wildly in my chest. I heard the others questioning what Azure was seeing, but I couldn't and didn't want to see it! The voice was gone now and I slowly began to turn my head in Azure's direction.

[auntslappy282]

Flare's face fell. She did a 360 check and saw nothing but the others. Where in the world is the noise coming from? She thought to herself. The clouds moved over the moon, making the clearing dark and even more ominous. Flare turned towards the others. "Am I the only one hearing that noise?" She asked. Her question was quickly answered by the look on Azures face and Jake's.

Azure's face showed that of utmost fright. She turned toward the others. She saw Flare. She swallowed and then spoke quietly, "Do we listen to it?" She asked. She knew what might happen. Occurrences like this were common for her.

[Sappheara]

Xiuhcoatl did not know what the others were talking about. She did not hear anything. Looking towards her companion, she spoke. "Did you hear anything, Vajra?" The Garudor cocked her head to one side and tried to listen. All she heard was the gust of wind blow pass her. "I do not hear anything so far. What exactly did you guys here?" Xiu looked around their surroundings slowly. She did not see anything neither. Maybe they people who make the voodoo circle cursed this area as well. The Garudor couldn't be sure, but it made her very uncomfortable.

The Moor looked at everyone, even his own companion. Maybe the others were on something. No... That couldn't be, they spoke and acted normal. So... maybe they were right. Answering his companion's question. "No, but I do feel an evil vibe. From what I can think, is whoever made that little voodoo circle thing cursed this area. Or... the rumors about Whisper Forest are true." He looked at every single creature that was standing before him. "I don't wanna sound weird. Am I the only one that feels that evil vibe?" Vajra looked around the area.
