((( Let's play! Voss and Thea This rp is OPEN so if you want to join, please feel free to do so. if you have any questions PLEASE ask them))) Eliora’s Golden eyes locked onto Anthony as she watched him and the others got into his car. She gave an inward evil smile. She was definitely going to enjoy this run. ‘Ready or not, here I come.’ She thought to herself with a low growl as her claws gently dug into the dirt as she readied herself to bolt. She waited until both vehicles had pulled off before she started trotting alongside Voss’s car. She trotted alongside the driver’s side of the car, slowing and going to the back to peer through the window at Lottie. She gave Lottie a lopsided wolfish grin, as if to say ‘watch this.’ she gave a few deep barks before she took off after Anthony’s car. She was enjoying the feel of the hard clay ground as she dug her claws in to propel herself even more as she ran. She loved the feel of the wind pulling against her coat bringing with it the array of scents that belonged to their packmates. A part of her wanted to give chase after them as the need to hunt tried to poke its head. She gave her head a gentle shake as she looked at the bumper of Anthony’s car. That was her target. She grinned and picked up her speed. Foxxy was singing along with the music that was playing. It was ‘Far Away‘ by Jellyroll and Haystack. She wasn't too big on rap music but she really liked the music they made and even had a couple of their CDs. she stopped when she caught a flash of white out of the corner of her eye. She turned around and saw a huge white wolf nipping at the trunk of the car. She turned around with a perplexed expression and looked to Anthony. “Uhm, I think Eliora is chasing us?” She said it more as a question than a statement. Her red-orange eyes met his stormy grey ones in the rear view mirror before he looked back at Eliora. She was no longer behind the car but was now running along side it., growling. “What the fuck?” he muttered. He slowed down to let her pass if she’d wanted. That seemed to make her mad and she hit the side of the car with her shoulder as she lunged at his face when he looked out to see if he hurt her. “Fuck! Crazy bitch!” he snarled as he jumped back and floored the gas. “Yo, yall put your seatbelts on.” He ordered. Eliora hurt her shoulder a little when she hi6t the side of the car though it was already starting to heal.She gave a short howl when he picked up speed before growling deeply and taking off after him. She loved it. The run forced her to stretch out all the way as she gave chase, stretching her muscles and allowing her full momentum. She flew over the distance between them eating it up quite easily as she caught up with them. This time,she didnt hit the side of the car knowing that at this speed it would be too dangerous and could cause the car to flip. ‘Dooooo Iiiiiiiit!” Cooed that sick voice in her head. It put a little damper on her fun. She forced the Voice to the back of her head and focused on the fun that she was having. She simply wanted to have fun, not endanger anyone’s life. She raced alongside the car with a lopsided grin as she gave them a quick challenging glance. As if to ask ‘Is that as fast as you can go?’ Already, he was pushing eighty miles an hour and she could easily go well over one hundred. She saw him hide a small grin as he slowly eased up to a much safer speed. Initially Foxxy was terrified thinking that Eliora was trying to kill them but when it turned out that she merely wanted to race, she relaxed and began to enjoy the little game they found themselves in. she was amazed at the woman though she did think that she was a bit crazy. When she noticed that Anthony was slowing down again she let out a breath that she didnt know that she was holding and her heart seemed to be in her throat. She gave a nervous laugh as she took a deep breath and tried to calm her nerves. “You alright Fox?” Anthony asked and looked at her in the rearview mirror. He turned his attention to Kia and lifted a brow. “You ok, Mon Cheri?” he flexed his hands to loosen the grip he held on the steering wheel. He hadnt know he held it that tightly. He also didnt know that Eliora could run that fast. Eliora huffed and fought the urge to rip the bumper off of Anthony’s car in irritation of him ending the chase. With a growl, she circled back to Voss’s car. She was tempted to chase after the pack but instead went back to the driver’s side window and keeping pace with Voss’s car. She figured that he wouldnt be too happy with her if she went after the pack. She sighed and looked at him then looked in the back at Lottie and again sported a wolfish grin for her before turning back to the front. ~*~ Antonio was snarling the whole time he was in his office. He was tired but he knew that he wouldnt be getting any rest with all these motherfuckers in his shit. He grabbed some clothes and put on his tennis shoes. He didnt have time for this, he needed to get sleep or he wouldnt be able to stay up tonight. He truly didnt give two fucks what the “pack” was doing, though because Voss was his boss and this was something he had going on, he couldnt really do much about it but bitch. He snarled again as he snatched his keys from his desk and headed to the door. If the pack was going to be there then he wasnt. Dont get him wrong, he fucks with them just not right now. They were fucking up his sleep and he wasnt cool with that. He stopped with his hand on the door knob and clicked his tongue as he called for the little yet not so little baby tiger . “Bring ya ass, Pandora.” the baby tiger obediently followed, walking beside him as he walked out the office pausing only to lock the door. He wore a pair of blue jeans and a white wife-beater and a blue and black jacket flung over his shoulder. “Yo, Kenny!” he called out as he head for the entrance. A tall light-skinned man with a short cut, blue tee and jeans and black tennis shoes, sauntered over to Antonio and kept pace with him. “What’s up?’ “You hold the place down during this bullshit. I’m heading to Sia’s place to grab a bed so i can catch some sleep before tonight. If you need me, just call me but the shit better be dire if you gonna disturb my sleep.” he growled and shot a bird to someone that told him good morning. “I gotcha, Bruh,” Kenny said. “Gone and get some sleep, you’re kinda grumpy.” he raised his hands in surrender when Antonio turned on him with a snarl. Pandora simply sat down at Antonio’s feet patiently waiting as she watched them interact. After a moment Antonio grumbled and walked off without another word, Pandora following beside him. He raised a hand and held up his middle finger as if were a ‘fuck you’ flag, as he walked out ignoring any who tried to speak to him. He walked over to his royal blue 2k17 Lexus IS 350, opened up the back door for the cub to jump in and lay in her bed before he went to the driver’s door and opened it. He was about to get in when he heard the call of a gyrfalcon followed by the call of a bearded vulture. He knew that him leaving was the right thing because the way he was feeling, he’d definitely kill one of them. He grunted before he got in his car and headed out to Sia’s place to try and get some semblance of sleep. ~*~ Sammie watched as Antonio left. He didnt care, he had a job to do and he always took his work seriously. Putting Anthony out of his mind, walked over to the MC podium and watched as his guys who were dressed in white tees, blue jeans or beige slacks, with a pair of tennis shoes they were working with Antonio’s guys to get the last minute prep, Mustafa, stood at the entryway and announced. “Hey! They are almost here! We have some birds inbound!” The energy of those there was excited and expectant and they readied themselves. They were promised some fun too during this trial, and fun they would have. It was a nice change from everyday cleanups that they did, and that didnt even include the funerals. So when the call rang out, a few of the avians stripped and shifted, happy to meet the incoming crowd. Falcon had pulled ahead of Raymond in their race and he called out in victory, though it was cut short when he was clipped by a raven. He didnt think much of it and tried to continue onward to the pit but he was hit by something hard and heavy from above and was knocked off course. Thinking that it was Raymond being a dick, he pulled forward again and turned sharply to turn on him, though he came face to face with a golden eagle and raven who were coming straight at him. ‘Holy shit!’ he thought before he made a turn to get out of the way, though not before the eagle had clipped him snagging a few feathers. He got pissed and went after the eagle. He may have been smaller but he was no one’s bitch. He focused on the eagle and gave chase but he caught the movement of the raven and dodged just in time to get out of its way. With talons extended he went after the raven since it was closest aiming for its wings. The eagle called out and sounded as if it was ready to attack him but he kept his eyes on the raven. “I got ya, man.” came Raymond’s words along the pack link. He had been busy with his own little welcoming party, though he managed to give them the slip after throwing one of the vultures into one of its friends so that he could give falcon a hand. Before the eagle had a chance to strike Falcon, Raymond sunk his talons in the other bird's breast as he knocked it back. The two birds fought midair as they tumbled to the ground. It was nothing for Raymond to kill the bird, though he figured it'd be less of a headache if he didnt. So he released the bird and began to go to Falcon who was digging his talons into the raven , who’d turned around and tried to claw Falcon, and ripping its feathers out as they plummeted to the ground. Falcon didnt seem as inclined as he to stop. He made a b-line to Falcon intending to catch them but as they neared the ground a couple of folks caught the two birds in a net but even that didnt stop Falcon from fighting. He clawed and bit whomever held him until they dropped the net and he was free. They had thought to catch him but he'd shifted and gave one guy a solid right hook before getting tackled by the other. Raymond looked down and around the area and saw that Sammie's guys were clashing with members of their group as they began to arrive. It was madness and Raymond was enjoying it. He was about to go help Falcon when his left wing was clipped by the vulture he'd thrown earlier. He gave an inward smile as he thought of how he'd get to color his feathers today. He made a sharp right hoping to be followed. Sammie watched as the fighting began to pick up in earnest as more and more people arrived he watched it almost with a bored expression before pulling out his phone and texted Anthony’s phone. “They’re here.” it said simply. He wasn't going to call seeing as how the sound of animal fighting reverberated off the walls would have made it difficult to hear much anyway. Not everyone shifted into their animal forms to combat the participants of the trial, some stayed human finding it advantageous against some. Everything stilled as a trio of male lions stood in the entryway and roared. Sammie grinned. It wasnt very often that he let them out to play. They were called ‘The Kings’ and were always out in the field working. Sammie frowned slightly. “Where are the other two?” He asked no one in particular. After a moment, he shrugged and went back to watching over the crowd. He’d noticed a few smaller critters sneak past as the bigger ones had to fight to get past. Lil’ Jay had been running full speed and out of nowhere, he got blindsided by a jackal and went tumbling. When he finally stopped he had to take a minute for the world to stop spinning before stumbling to his feet. He was pissed, his hide hurt and somebody was about to fucking die for that shit. He saw the culprit and snarled at him. He caught movement on his right and realized he’d been surrounded by the fuckers, but it made him no nevermind. “Yo bruh,these bitches aint playing fair! Ya’ll watch your backs there and be careful.” he said along the pack link before lunging at the bastard that blindsided him. ~*~ Eliora caught the frantic calls between the pack members and was torn between helping them and staying alongside Voss's car. she had to remind herself that this was their trial and they had to handle it on their own. As much as she tried she couldnt help the whine that slipped from her, though she growled from embarrassment and to cover it up hoping no one heard her. ~*~ Evera was enjoying her flight when she heard the incoming news from the others that had made it to the Pit already. She was growing more nervous the closer she got. She heard the fighting before she even saw it, which was saying a lot since she had excellent vision and can see something less than 1 inch (2 centimeters) in size from almost 220 yards (200 meters) away. Her nerved tried to get a hold of her and she almost turned back around. She knew that there was going to be fighting, but being told something and then coming face to face with it was something completely different. She remembered how Ghost and Lala had helped her to get to where she was today and she didnt want to let them down. So she grew some balls and barrelled towards the Pit. There was fighting in air and on the ground. For a moment she wondered if she should help someone but the thought soon left her when a large turkey vulture came at her as if playing chicken in the air. She narrowed her eyes brought her wings a little more as she headed straight for it. At the last minute the vulture banked right. She started to celebrate but ssnesed someone coming at her from above. If she had been a split second slower, her wings would have been in the clutches of the golden eagle that tried to catch her slipping. She rolled onto her back talons extended as they locked on with the other bird. She yanked and tried to pull it closer to her snapping beak but it pulled back. The momentum along with the flapping over their wings caused them tumble end over end as they fought. Haloke was smiling as she and Shane walked to the front of Kia’s house. He had his arms wrapped around her as he kissed her neck. “C’mon man. We already late as it is.” She said and gently pushed him away. “Ok, fine.” He said gave her butt a spank before moving to his bag that he had stashed off in some dried up bush. He started to take the rest of his clothes off, watching as she did the same. “Haloke, you sure you're gonna be able to carry both bags?” She turned dark brown eyes at him and narrowed them at him. “I’m not some weak bitch. If i said i can do it, then i can do it.Now hurry up and strip.” she said that last part with a small smile knowing he didnt like it, a deep growl was her reward and she laughed. It was cut short when she caught sight of Lala. “Lala? What are you still doing here? I thought you would have left already.” She said as she took the last of her clothes off. “We about to head out. You can run with us.” she said and nodded her head in Shane’s direction who’d already shifted into a large grey timber wolf.

Kia had made a scoff before getting into Anthony's car, she was not about to compete against an animate object for his affection. Though once she slid inside sitting on the cloth interior she relaxed a little. The inside was the closest thing you could get to showroom fresh, she swore it had almost that smell of a new car mixed with the scent of him which was extremely relaxing for her. She had forgotten why she had been mad in the first place, laying her head back against the headrest she closed her eyes for a smooth comfortable ride. She had not seen Eliora coming up fast, she kept running her hand along with the interior of the car enjoying the feel of it. Listening to the song that played on the radio she rolled down the window letting her arm move outside the window, she enjoyed listening to Foxxy singing considering a while ago she barely spoke afraid of her voice now she seemed someone new.
She let her sing solo for a while then she opened her mouth to her voice alongside hers. Her head nodding to the music till Foxxy stopped she turned around to see what she was saying. Feeling the car move wrong her heart ramped inside of her kicking the adrenaline of fear for a second. She felt the car shake when she hit it, letting out a growl," What is this cunt doing?!"She snarled Gripping the oh-shit handle in the car when Anthony spoke of seat belts she fumbled with it. She had gone from comfortable in this large metal beast to feel it was just a hunk of a metal death trap. She had been oblivious that this was just a game she had her nails in his interior along the shoulder of the car, she had tensed her body shaking as her eyes were wide her teeth clenched tightly. It was only when Anthony had asked if she was ok did it snap her out of the terror she had been in. It was not that she was attacking the car that had scared her it was the chance that the car could have rolled or crushed them. Going out fighting she was ok with, but dying by something you can't fight was something she feared. " I am fine." She said slowly as her body would relax enough to stop the sore pain it was causing. "I am more worried about your car." She mumbled looking out the window. She was embarrassed at the reaction she had had during the white wolf's play.
Voss watched a moment before he had gotten in his car when he had it would have been with a smile of mischievousness. Though he enjoyed collecting fierce metal such as the impala with its slicked looking paint job. It was just a collectible something to entertain any human that might think to look his way. Much like the Mask that some of his fellow pack mates worse to hide their true intentions within such a structure as this. He was all for a gamble of lives and deaths, why in which he did not say no to her running. He was in truth interested in what she might do even if he had commanded that she stay in his car. Was she able to follow orders was she able to act as a unit instead of a rogue wild card of an animal? He had gotten his answer when she took off after Anthony's car, now no one could hold her to that notion of being unable to follow instructions of an Alpha. But no he more saw it as she decided that instead of chasing the group she harass someone close enough to his car that it could not be held against one's inner pup to be playful.
He let out a manic a sinister laugh his eyes catching Nox shaking in the back seat. Lottie had giggled and waved to Eliora when she tore out after Anthony's car, clapping her hands in delight at the white wolf's gusto. " Oh, daddy she is such fun. I want to run too." Her child-like nature peaking through the semblance of a teen. The body able to do the minds work, yet currently it was gazing view from a young pup's perspective. " Yes, Lottie she is. No darling. Not today, you have already shone your worth to us all." He said letting the remake slip from his lips his tone was that as if he was in deep thought while he drove at a good pace. He made sure to stay far enough to back if the vehicle lost the control of the road then it would not catch him in the crash. Lottie pouted a little before she plastered her self against Nox." Do you think she is fun to Noxy?!"She had a large smile on her face, he could not help but smile at her. His Mistress always seeing the innocence even in a violent creature such as a cursed wolf. He, however, felt himself start to sweat feeling the dagger of eyes of the Bossman upon him. He would gulp and laugh nervously." Ye-eah such fun!"His voice cracked even though he had very well hit puberty already.
Lottie jumped to the middle of the car watching her smash into the side of Anthony's car. She was in the front seat before Voss could shout for her to be careful, his concern went from that to just a laugh as she had rolled down the window and stuck her head out to howl. Nox felt relieved that he wasn't going to be glared at but now he worried that she may fall out the front of the car if she wasn't careful. Voss having to make a sharp turn reached out like a viper strike and grabbed her skirt yanking her back inside, he had done so to avoid hitting a Raven that had gone by. Him passing the gas station had his eyes spotting the group of SUV's that seemed to pull out after them. His lip curled having an idea who it might be that decided to follow after them. He was so preoccupied he had not noticed what Eliora was doing with Anthony's car, his daughter now sat in the front seat, if she had her ears they would be down knowing in her heart she had done wrong by scaring her father. It only made her spiral more into her autism, she would rock back and forth slowly rubbing her legs hard letting out a humming noise that was loud and obnoxious to most. Voss did not find it as such though he had not found a way to keep her calm, " Calm her please." He stated to Nox, motioning for him to come forward. When he did he reached back and touched something on his collar that made him turn into his rat form again. It had scared him at first to be trapped in the clothes he had on before.
Though after a moment he was out scurrying across the car and up the console to get to her. He would then climb up to stand on her breasts, his little paws reaching up, Lottie finally noticing him a few tears hit him as she brought him up to her face. She kept making that noise till he squeaked, nose kissing her face making her giggle. She would put him in her shirt giving him a piece of cheese. When the fog had lifted she smiled to Voss." Father do we have hopes for my friends?" He would merely nod his head not wanting to make eye contact with her to busy watching his rear. " I hope that La La does a great job." She let her index finger brush against Nox whiskers as he, in turn, rubbed against her gently making small satisfying noises as he ate. "You are very fun my friend.'"She said to Nox. Voss slowly reached his arm out as he inched the car closer to Eli he could not help but slip his hand into her fur gently and slowly moving it down her back.
~*~
A Rogue Nissan SUV with a black lighted exterior lighting along the sides moved along the cracked sand near the pit parking a bit aways, the two men and one woman inside watched royal blue 2k17 Lexus IS 350 pull away from the pit. The woman in the back let out a sigh," I am paying you to get me an envelope from inside." She would not tell them why or who asked her of this. It was not theirs to know. The large man with Viking hair moved from the driver seat of the SUV. "So why are we here?" The second man asked. The woman in the back smiled." Well, Darius, You and I are fortunate enough to be bankrolled by someone wealthy. And that wealthy person wants several people on the inside. " She waited in the car. " So why you haven Åge and Revna handling the packaging?" The woman let out a sigh." Because he is larger than you or I. And she can fly." He seemed fine with her answer as they waited in the car.
The large man's bags still in the back with the woman. He seemed to be only wearing brief boxers as he headed for the pit. He knew that Revna was flying towards the pit as well as hoping to miss the birds that were dueling in the sky above. She flew low to the ground at a different angle than Åge who seemed ready to fight any might come his way. Though many seemed busy with others at the entrance he saw a few who seemed to be just watching.
Darius shifted in the passenger seat of his SUV." Is this not cheating?" He motioned to them just sitting in the vehicle. The woman kept her eyes on something out one of the windows." Sorrow?!"She slowly looked to him then blew hot air on the window before she drew a frowny face." No, because if I went in I would have taken more then one regardless of how many I brought with me. It essentially cuts others from the pack if there are not enough packets. " She said softly with a smile. She cared not what packet she got as long as it was ranked. She could move ranks later with a singular trial instead of a group one. That much she knew from the package she had received two days ago. It had been sealed with purple wax and a house symbol on it. Sorrow had then paid Darius and the two others to come along for the ride with her. If she perished among the shifters eventually the others could continue the mission. They did not get paid until the end of this little venture. Which could take a long time? She sat back to relax until this part was over.
~*~
Voss could hear how things were going like the pack link was a radio that you could not shut off at all. He heard Eliora whine but made no show of it, his daughter was busy whispering to Nox who seemed to be speaking back to her in squeaks. He wondered if his daughter was able to speak rat, he knew the travel would be very long heading to where they were headed. He wondered what Sia was up to, he would shake his head needing to be focused today.
~*~
La La had been stretching for some time preparing for however many miles run she about devour when she heard someone call her name, turning she would smile." Aye, I was about to head out. " Seeing them all shift she gave a nervous smile, her eyes manic." I uh, well I can not shift currently. " She was dressed in what looked like a merc outfit with body armor and a few guns. " I uh. I need to remain like this. Evera flew on ahead for me." She cleared her throat. Her face was turning red slightly, as she fidgeted with her guns." Yo-you think you could give me a lift?" She said to Haloke watching her. " I mean if you cant I will run as fast as I can to keep up." She thought that either way she was gonna be up shits creek if she didn't head out now. It would still take her some time to get here if not by car. She could not take her giant army truck as it was against the rules for her to drive, yet it was not the fastest vehicle out there. And while she waited Evera was by her self with god who knows, she had faith in the woman she just knew some would favor playing dirty even against a woman.

Odin wasn’t much of a talker, that much Oliver found out.
When the pack link was introduced, Odin only used it whenever necessary. When he did use it he didn’t use words. If it was food related, Odin sent out a picture of an animal carcass. If he was tired he projected an image of himself sleeping. It was the same way if he shifted into a human. Very little words were spoken. He knew how to speak, but old habits died hard and you couldn’t teach an old wolf new tricks.
Nonetheless Oliver found a kindred spirit in Odin. Both had been rogues for the longest time with nothing to call home, each a wandering soul. And sure, Oliver had Pearl and Wren and Darien. But they had their own special connection with the Outsiders. Ever since his brother’s death he didn’t have anyone. Needless to say when this opportunity came up he didn’t pass on it.
The good thing about wolves was that they were marathon runners. They didn’t easily tire and could go 31-37 miles an hour. Of course, with Odin and Oliver being shifters they could easily go a third faster than that. And they started out early, so they could see what everyone around these parts called the Pit. Oliver was in the lead, with the white-faced wolf that was Odin at his shoulder. Oliver was bigger than Odin, but not by much. And the only reason why there was a height difference was that Odin was born an actual wolf.
And that was the second reason why he took to Odin; Olly never came across a reverse shifter in his almost 70 years of life.
The two picked up their pace a notch when the pack link was filled with frantic voices. And on the horizon they could make out flying dots that had to be birds colliding with one another. Oliver was itching for a fight, true (it’s what he loves to do) but he was also concerned with how these trials could go. He wasn’t superstitious by any means but if he didn’t know any better death was in the air.

Whereas the two wolves took the ... scenic route, Semiha drove Slater’s car with Tansel in the passenger seat and Slater in the back. Slater knew them since they were in diapers. And while the gator wasn’t much of a pack person he was going along with this for their sake. Their uncle and mother begged for him to take the girls out and far away from the lair as possible. And so he did, thinking that this would be the best possible solution to keep their father and “husbands” off their scent.
Of course, this was going to take a bit of getting used to. Slater found himself drinking more water and using medicated lotion for dry skin. But the girls seemed to be doing all right. After all, it wasn’t humid like back in the swamps. Tansel’s hair wasn’t as frizzy and Semiha wasn’t swatting at mosquitos every two minutes. And it wasn’t like Slater wasn’t ever going to feel the blessed air conditioning again.
They were in a nondescript car that was practically a decade old and had stains on the cloth seats. It wasn’t like Slater didn’t have the means to get him a new vehicle but his motto was “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. Ol’ Girl has quite a few miles on her but no one looks for a grey sedan when they search for a getaway car. Ol’ Girl fit the description of over half the cars on the road, and for that he was grateful.
Semiha did exactly the speed limit so as not to get pulled over, so when the voices popped up through the link she didn’t get there any faster or slower than need be. Even Tansel’s pleas of getting there as quickly as possible didn’t budge her. It seemed that the young girl couldn’t quite understand that they were hiding out from possessive assholes that were more than likely pissed off and scrambling to get the girls back. They couldn’t take the chance that the lair had their clutches on the police force even way out here two time zones away from the swamps.
“You remember the plan, right?” Slater asked.
Tansel sighed and nodded. This had been plan B, because they weren’t too sure if the fighting was going to start practically right away. While Semiha and Slater fought Tansel would slip in and grab three envelopes and get out. It didn’t matter what it was.
“We are counting on you, sister,” Semiha said with a slight Turkish accent.
“I know,” Tansel murmured, frowning and looking out the window as her fingers drummed on her thighs. “I ... know.”
Soon they parked a ways away from the SUV, Semiha shifting after she got out and with her clothes folded in the back seat of the car. She was a white and gray blur as she sprinted to the ring of beings surrounding Lil’ Jay. If there was cover she would have made an attempt to sneak up on them in the leopards’ traditional freeze-frame stalk. But since there wasn’t she used the speed and a nearby rock to launch herself at the nearest person with an exposed neck.
Slater followed, but knew that his slowness regarding his shift would only hinder him in the process. So he followed Semiha while trying to keep Tansel in his line of sight.
What he didn’t expect was the lions in the entryway. It made him curse creatively as he was torn between helping Semiha and Lil’ Jay and getting Tansel past the lions.
Damn it to hell.
He knew that he wouldn’t hear the end of it from Semiha if he knew that Tansel had trouble getting the envelopes but Tansel would be upset if Semiha was mortally injured. He did have a little bit of a saving grace as he saw a peregrine falcon dive-bomb the lion in the middle of the trio and Tansel shifting mid leap so that she could have some teeth and claws to fight with.
He really wasn’t expecting the gazelle that appeared after the falcon to be ballsy enough to square off against the third lion.
It was a sucky decision, but knowing that the two newcomers (he vaguely remembered them as Bradley and Giselle) added backup for Tansel he turned to help Semiha.

Eliora was just loving the feel of the air rushing over her pelt and the stretch of her muscles as she ran alongside Voss’s car. She didn't know where Sia’s Palace was and was curious to see the place though she was going to enjoy the run along the way. There was a scoff and she knew that the shadow demon was not liking where her frame of mind was.
‘You could have easily killed them, yet you let them live.’ Aroile growled in disgust.
‘I don't want to hurt them.’ Eliora growled back lifting her lip in a silent snarl.
‘You are worthless. Laying with your family’s killers and making friends with the lot of them. How disrespectful. No wonder your family don’t deem it necessary to come visit you.’ Aroile snapped.
‘That’s not true!’ Eliora snarled back at the shadow demon. She was abruptly brought out of her thoughts when she felt the warm comforting had of Voss as he rubbed his hand through her fur. Aroile snarled at her spitting out the word ‘pathetic’ as Eliora pushed her to the back of her mind. She looked down at him and was grateful to him for bringing her back from her own mind.
She growled softly at him but didn't feel the need to move away lest he hurt himself. ‘Why are you petting me as if I'm some pet of yours? I’m not you know.’ she sent to him along their shared private link. ‘Is Lottie ok?” she asked with a bit of a worry as she maintained her distance from the car and her speed. One slip up and someone could get hurt.

Haloke gave Lala a lopsided grin as she took in Lala’s fit. “Damn girl, you trying to do some damage,” she said before chuckling. Her humor turned thoughtful a moment. “That was pretty smart. The birds are definitely bound to get there first.” she caught sight of the slight color to Lala’s face and smiled.
“Yea, I got you. Just don't tell Evera I let you ride me.” she teased and winked at Lala. she could help but make fun. Shane huffed and seemed to roll his eyes as he began to head out. They needed to catch up with the rest of the gang soon if they wanted to get a decent chance at a good rank.
Haloke shook her head at him though she understood the need to go. So she turned back to Lala and waved her over. “I don't have a saddle, so I hope bareback is cool. I'm just gonna need ya to put the two bags over my shoulders. When you get on, make sure you hold on tight because I'm not stopping until I get to the Pit.” after giving Lala instructions, Haloke proceeded to shift into a beautiful mare 6ft at the shoulder with a coat as dark as the night sky. She did a small dance before throwing her head back and shook out her mane. She walked over back over to Lala and nudged her.
“Let’s go.” she seemed to say. Using the pack link was a hit and miss type thing for her, so she focused on body language instead. She was a little nervous if she were being honest but she was determined and a bit excited to see this trial through.

Raymond flew high knowing the other vulture would follow close on his tail feathers as he was. Abruptly Raymond turned around, talons extended, catching the other vulture off guard and snatched him out of the sky. Ordinarily, a move like that would have definitely torn some muscles in a bird his size, but after flying with Falcon, and some TLC from Foxxy, he’d learned a few tricks.
He fought the vulture, taking wing beatings and bites here and there but he didn’t relinquish his grip. If anything, his grip got even tighter on the bird’s breast as it tried even harder to get loose. It almost succeeded when one of its claws Raymond on the back of his leg momentarily taking him by surprise and he loosened his grip. He could feel the blood trickle down his leg and it made him madder. Raymond had to give the man his props, the moment his grip loosened he fought like hell to get loose. He twisted and turned to make Raymond work even harder to keep them in the air.
Angered Raymond caught it by the side of the neck as it twisted in his grip. He clenched his claws closed as best he could and began yanking on his neck while pulling on him with his claws. When he pulled the vulture’s neck up, his claws yanked down, ripping the muscles of its chest. He’d done this several times before he quickly readjusted the grip on the other bird’s neck, giving it a quick yank and twist. Immediately the bird went slack. He released its neck and tried to let go of its breast though his claws seemed stuck.
Frustrated, Raymond began to rip through the flesh to free his talons and both birds began to fall at an alarming rate. He tried again to get untangled but one of his talons was still caught on the rib cage. With a deep sigh, he took ahold of the bone and yanked several times before he was able to get it for free and in turn free his foot. He quickly spread his wings to try and get some wind beneath them because he had fallen to close to the ground for comfort.
Looking around for someone to break his fall, Raymond saw Falcon and headed in his direction. Falcon was currently being held in a headlock by a big beefy hairy dude, who was wearing a white Tee shirt, black jeans and black tennis shoes, while he was kicking the shit out of a lifeless body. “He’s dead, man.” the big man growled and tossed Falcon aside. “Go!” he ordered. Falcon’s face was contorted in rage but he backed off, especially when a pair of black wolves wearing white bandanas around their necks came to stand between him and the burly man. Falcon watched as the man picked up the lifeless body and slung it over his shoulder.
One wolf walked beside the burly man as he went around collecting the bodies of the fallen, while the other stayed back to keep a close eye on Falcon. Falcon scoffed and turned away from them looking for more heads to smash in. “Don't waste time looking for a fight, that's not the goal. Our goal is the envelopes in the pit. Get your head in the game.” Raymond said through the link as he flew past him fast-changing direction to allow his momentum to carry him to the entryway.
Falcon shifted, wincing at his bruised ribs, and took off after Raymond seeing where he was going. They saw as Bradley, Tansel, and Giselle went after the three males standing in the entryway. If they weren't so focused on getting inside, they’d have to stay just to watch that fight, but as it were the had no intention of doing so. The lion in the middle, Azizi-had a white bandana tied to the base of his tail as did the others-, merely flinched at the peregrine’s assault as his eyes focussed on Giselle as she had caught his attention and leaped at her.
Shomari took stock of the Leopard as she came at him as he licked his lips. The scar along his right eye was a tad unsightly as it stretched from above his eyebrow down to his cheek bone. It was a wonder and the grace of God that he still had it and it was functional. But he wore it proudly. He was happy to meet her halfway, he took off ready to have some fun. Abasi had gone for the falcon when he was hit in the face with the carcass Raymond tossed at him as he flew past. Abasi snarled and turned to look at Raymond knowing the bastard thought the shit was funny. Sammie watched it all play out in amusement, especially at the disgruntled look Abasi gave, with a splash of blood in the middle of his face.
Mustafa stood against the wall directly in the entryway on one side with his arms crossed as he lazily watched his blood brothers fight. He wore the uniform of a white tee, black tennis shoes, and beige slacks. He sighed as he looked out at the others further away.
They were all getting wrapped up in fights forgetting the actual goal. He’d seen several shifters sneak through and were currently searching the pit for envelopes. Good luck to them. Kenny and his guys were Those within the cave were simply to oversee the search for the envelopes, if they wanted to fight then they could do so outside, as quite a few of them actually did. He lifted a brow when a black 2016 Ford Focus ST hatchback came barrelling towards the pit.
Estelle grinned widely as floored the gas loving how well the car handled. “Damn Bj this girl got some go.” she chuckled as he narrowed his eyes at her and growled. “You’re paying for any damages.” Amp gave a nervous laugh as he clutched the seatbelt to his chest. As they need they saw the fighting Estelle danced in her seat. “This looks like so much fun!”
“Hey, remember this is not a game. Retain your focus and get those envelopes.” BJ started as they came to a halt, a cloud of dust that was in their wake seemed to have followed them. “Go park over there by the other vehicles,” Amp said and pointed in the direction of the other cars and those that were arriving. “‘Kay.” She said and parked the car.
Estelle paused and looked at the two of them after she had parked and turned off the car. “Hey, maybe we should work together. It’s not against the rules to and looking at the mess up ahead…” she trailed off.
BJ sighed. “I honestly don't care. It’d be easy for you to get through to the inside of the Pit, Estelle. You can slither past. Amp and I will provide you some backup.” He said putting together a plan. In truth, he had been giving it some thought since they left pack territory. He turned to Amp and pointed to a hidden compartment in the middle of the backseat that connected to the trunk. “Your shift won’t do us any good, so open that up and take out that metal bat. Use that if you have to defend yourself.”
Amp looked offended but didn’t say anything. He could throw ‘bows with the best of ‘em. He wasn't some weak bitch. He had to catch the hiss that wanted to slip out as he did what he was told. He stuck his hand in there surprised at all the stuff he could feel back there. “What-” he started to ask, surprise clear on his face. “Don’t worry about it, just get the bat,” Bj said cutting him off. He sighed though that quickly turned to a hiss as his hand brushed against something made of silver. Flinching he grabbed it and yanked it out watching as it fell to the floor.
The bat was dented in some areas and there were splotches of dried blood in others. The handle had tape around it and Amp picked it up from there. Man, what the actual fuck?” He asked looking at Estelle who merely lifted a brow, then back to BJ. Bj sighed and gave him a pointed look. “Do you want to use it or not?” Amp looked at it again then at BJ then back at the back bat. “Yea, I want it,” he said flexing his grip on the handle.
“Good, let’s go.”Bj said and got out of the car expecting the other two to follow. Estelle looked at Amp and grinned. “You scared of the ghost kitty?” She asked using the nickname that some of them had for BJ. the man seemed like he was ok but he would silently lurk and would literally go ghost leaving you to wonder if the motherfucker was actually there in the first place. “Hell fuck yeah. Dude, look at this damn bat.”
Estelle merely shrugged. “Ehh we all have our own way of letting off some steam. Who are we to judge him on his?” Amp huffed, though Estelle didn't give him a chance to reply. “Besides, I’d rather be with him than against him.” she shrugged and grabbed the keys. “You gotta keep a hold of these. I’m sure he’d kill you if you lost them. Show him you can be trusted.” she said and tossed him the keys before stripping and shifting after she opened the door.
Moving along the ground quickly, she slithered her way to Bj and climbed up his leg. When he held out his arm for her to get on she did and slithered up until she rested comfortably around his neck while the rest of her body curled around his left arm. They shared a look before he turned back to the car when he heard the door slam shut as Amp got out. He narrowed his eyes and Amp lifted his hands in surrender as he joined them and they headed towards the fray, being clear to steer clear of the fight between the canids.
Lil Jay had the bastard in his mouth by the throat as he shook the motherfucker like a ragdoll, biting down even more whenever one of the others tried to come at him. He’d fought with him and had the damn bloody bite marks to prove it. The other jackals wanted their brother back and Jay dared them to come and get him. They began to circle around him nipping him alternately. Trying to get him to drop the carcass, but Jay merely snarled and bit down until he heard the crunching of bone and the laugh of a hyena coupled by the scream of one of the jackals.
Inwardly he laughed and dropped the dead body going for one of the others when the group turned their attention on Deidre, though the hyena didn't seem too phased by the attacking jackal as he practically ate the jackal he had caught. While the had their attention on Jay he’d snuck up as close as he could and waited for one to come near him again and pounced. He threw his weight into it, knocking the jackal from its feet and going straight for its throat though the jackal used its legs to try and keep the large hyena at bay though he simply changed the target location to its front right leg instead of its neck. He bore his weight into the jackal’s throat making it hard for it to breathe and bite him anymore, all the while he started to eat the jackal alive.
Panicked at the attack of the men, they didn't notice the two new arrivals as they begin to jump Jay and Deidre.

Paetra was running with Khaylan and Nerriah saddled on her back and A’kierra flying overhead. They had left out a tad late because they were saddling Paetra with a bedouin camel saddle along with their supplies in some saddlebags. The small group had discussed their plans well into the night last night while collecting their things so that they would be prepared for whatever the trial would throw at them. Paetra had volunteered to carry Khaylan and Nerriah, though one of them had to be shifted since their animal forms were smaller. Nerriah had agreed while Kaylan held her along the way. None minded the decision.
Paetra was the transport, A’kierra was the eyes, Nerriah and Khaylan were going to sneak in start looking for the envelopes and if they were lucky, grab a couple.
They heard the commotion and Paetra started to become a bit nervous. Khaylan reached down and rubbed her. “It’s ok. We’ll be fine. Don’t worry, just makes sure you get some rest while we’re inside.” Paetra snorted in agreement. A’Kierra cawed as she flew ahead. She spotted Estia’a 2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport HSE 286 coming down the highway.
Zehra wore her locs braided and twisted in a bun on the top of her head. She wore a black buttoned-up shirt and blue jeans. She drove down the highway like the hounds of hell were on their asses. She saw Paetra and the ones that were with her and wondered why they didn’t just get in someone’s car and get to the Pit quicker. She shrugged and looked over to Estia and gave her a small smile. “ Het thanks for letting us hitch a ride with you. This is definitely quicker.” She said and turned her attention back to the road.
Estia grinned at her and waved away her thanks. “It’s all good. We essentially need to help each other. Trying to do this individually would be a bit impossible if I understood Anthony correctly.” She said turning thoughtful.
“Yeah, the point is not only to grabbing rank but seeing how well we act as a pack. A pack is only as strong as its weakest member. We have to look out for each other. Though many of us will definitely struggle with that sometimes.” Afuah chimed in. Ahanu grunted in response to that. Taylan laughed at patted his back. “If a cat dont step on your toe then dont holler. She wasn’t aiming that at you man. Literally, all of us have that problem. When we worked for Benjamin, we pretty much did our own thing, unless we were working a job. Sure we are close but we could stand to work on our teamwork more.” He said with a deep chuckle.
“Exactly,” Zehra said looking at Tony and Ahanu through the rearview mirror. Tony hadn’t spoken a word since the death of his half brother, who’s name ironically was also Tony although everyone simply called him T. so as not to confuse the two. Tony’s amber eyes met hers and he nodd ed before turning away. Ahanu didn’t even bother to look her way because he was indeed feeling a bit salty about Afuah’s comment.
Afuah looked over at him and purred as she leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek. “Aww, c’mon don’t pout.” She said and laughed softly.
“Yea, that’s the whole reason we are here. We are going to be better than we were before. We have a second chance, so let’s make the best of it. Yeah?” Estia chimed in and twisted in the passenger seat to look back at all of them with a mischievous grin. When she received nods and ‘yeas’, her grin grew. “Good then we need to start in on a game plan because we are getting close as fuck to the Pit, thanks to Zehra’s crazy ass driving.
“You’re welcome.” Zehra said with an unapologetic grin.

Evera’s chest was bleeding from a cut across her breast. During her fight with the other bird, they hadnt been able to let go of one another before they crashed through a nearby tree. She was lucky that she was able to minimize the damage, especially to her wings. She had tucked in her wings tightly into her body and used the other bird to break her fall. She hadnt wanted to but it was either her or the guy she was fighting, so she chose him. The initial impact threw her off of him and into a low branch that caught her across her chest before she fell to the ground.
She was in pain and trying to catch her breath when a large African lion approaches her and she really thought she was about to fucking die. She closed her eyes and readied for death but what she received instead was a nudge from the large male. She opened one eye and then the other when she realized he was simply checking on her and not trying to eat her. When she gave a sigh of relief she unintentionally shifted.
“Oh my god!” She exclaimed and quickly covered herself with her hands. “Dont look!” Them ale gave her a quizzical look and chuffed at her. “Please” she whispered. With a sigh the large male turned his head and waited for her to get herself together. She gave him a soft thank you and shifted back. She noticed that the male had a white bandana at the base of his tail and really looked at him. ‘Was this Ikeno?’ She asked herself. The male turned back around to look her over one more time before sniffing her from head to toe as if checking her for any other injuries. He nudged her and the force caused her to take a step back or fall over. He licked her chest with his large feline tongue catching a few feathers and causing her to wince.
She flapped her wings and tried to peck him but he moved his head and gave her an amused look and another chuff. Evera watched as he turned on his heel and walked over to where the body of the other bird had fallen out of the tree. The bird had shifted back into his human and his broken body lay lifeless. Ikeno solemnly walked over and inspected him thoroughly. He seemed to sigh heavily before he leaned down and gripped him in his mouth by the shoulder and drug him off.
The piercing cry of a falcon brought her back to the task at hand. She had to get envelopes for her and Lala. she spread her large wings and took off gunning it straight for the Pit entrance. She saw all the others fighting and felt a pang of shame that she wasn't helping them, but she had to get to those envelopes if she could find them. She just had to get her hands on them.
As she went, Evera saw another African male lion slinking over to the area where people were parking their cars. He wore a white bandana on his tail as well as a silver ring his nose and she knew exactly who it was. It was Hodari. She watched as he shook his out his mane and saw a knife fall out. He shifted into his human form, unabashedly naked and picked up the knife and his white bandana. One by one he took his time and went to each vehicle stabbing the back tires twice each. When he was done he tied his bandana on his right arm and tucked the knife in it before he shifted and politely walked off as he waited for more to come along and park.
Saunders had jacked one of Antwan’s cars after Anthony threatened to shoot him. Seriously, it was only a fucking car. Not like he was going to do anything to it. He had growled the entire way to the garage and as he hot wired the car. It was a piece of crap and he figured that it was the one he used for “work” because the scent of blood and death mixed heavily with an assortment of other smells, filled the car. He was in a foul mood and planned to run anybody over that got in his way. He tore off as soon as the car was crunk up and floored the gas.
~*~
Foxxy could still feel her heart racing as she clutched her gut as she tried to calm down. She was fine aside from the urge to puke. She was a bit shaky but aside from that she was ok. She looked to Anthony and smiled. “Yes i’m fine.” She replied. Anthony gave her a reassuring smile. “Good.” He said and turned to Kia. He reached over and and laid an open hand on her lap waiting for hers. He wanted to reassure her that they were ok and would be fine. At the comment about the damage done to his car, he winced not wanting to worry about that just yet. But he knew that once he stopped at the Palace he was not going to like what he was going to see. He growled deeply before he cleared his throat and continued driving.
“So, how do you guys think this is going to go?” he asked with a soft smile trying to get his mind off of the damage Eliora made to his car.

A pair watched as a dark shaggy wolf with a face mask moved in followed by another, a silver were-wolf with a spiked collar dashed from the cover of rocks and bush be-lining for the two. Two arrows flew from the bush landing in front of both wolves to slow them down for the large were to get in front of them. It ran on all fours but could stand up if it needed. (This is Odin and Oliver. Oliver has no wolf pic or description. SO this is yours jewel.)
~*~
Voss would chuckle lightly when she growled at him his hand would gently move back into the car,' I wanted to feel the power that radiates off you. I imagine this is a speed even I could not reach.' His car was going sixty the highways speed limit. She was a breed apart from the rest, this was something to be in awe of even a from Alpha. He laughed when she asked if Lottie was ok." She is fine. She was just a little frightened. " Lottie seemed to be interested in the landscape than anything else as she gently pets Nox's whiskers. ' Are you feeling the need to help?' He asked feeling the same even though he knew that this had to be done to test the loyalty of those that want to be a part of the inner workings of the pack. And those that came that he did not have a chance to get to know. His eyes kept drifting to the review mirror for a few seconds.
The three large black SUV'S seemed to be speeding up as if they were going to try and pass them, though when they got closer they would move to stay at the same speed to keep up with them close to riding their ass the tint made it impossible to see who was inside. Though Voss already knew who it was, the only person that enjoyed harassing him. One of the SUV'S swerved off the road riding up the side of it to get ahead would get between Anthony's car and Voss's like it was going to be boxed in.
~*~
La La's blush went away as she let out a loud laugh," And you got me riding bareback? For shame." She said laughing as she watched her change. She leaped upon her back after she shifted. She tied the backs together like saddlebags and hung them over her. Seeing as she was bareback she would squeeze her legs tight to keep from flying off and lean into her hiding behind her neck gripping her mane and the bags. "Heigh-ho Silver!" She screamed and blinked looking down at her."No? Ok." She chuckled.
~*~
As people came into the pit a man with a whip would use it to try and keep them back, his chest was covered in scars and tattoos, a few of them were written in Russian. His hips had holsters for 9mm. For now, he used the whip to keep those at bay from a certain part of the pit. The rest of the pit seemed open for grabs, seeing it on off-hours had the place looking very big and empty.
~*~
The car that Saunders was in would be unimpeded until it came closer to the pit. Once insight a bolt would come flying towards the cars tire piercing it head-on making the tire pop. It was from a crossbow held by a masked person hiding behind a set of bushes another few bolts were shot for the other tires pacing the car.
~*~
Kia felt the back of his hand in her lap she would look to him and smile briefly her's sliding into his gripping it tightly. She would squeeze her hand and then relax it. " I think there are several ways this can go. I am not sure which it will be, all I do know is there is going to be blood." She said softly, there was when one tested their metal against others. " I hope that everyone gets a rank." She said not wanting to scare or upset Foxxy with what she thought.

Oliver had a sandy coat, darker in some places than others. Nonetheless when he got into the pack officially he could blend in well with the environment around him. When he saw the silver wolf rushing at them, he knew that it was there to stop their travel to the pit. While he wanted for this to be a quick travel with no hiccups, nothing came easy for him. And it wasn’t like they didn’t warn Odin and Oliver.
The problem was, he was busy with the silver wolf-beast-thing that he didn’t see the arrows until the last minute. Odin even tried to warn him by showing him an image of the two arrows flying in front of them. But Oliver didn’t register it until he broke the arrows by trampling on them.
Fuck, that hurt.
He stepped back, growling his pain away so as not to show them how that hurt. There was no blood that he could smell, and his paws were super thick and rough, so the broken shafts or the ends didn’t penetrate.
Normally, he would see this obstacle as a foe to fight, but this was just an obstacle today, because if Odin and Oliver can’t get there quick, there might only be a few shitty ranks left, if there are any at all.
Odin was thinking this too, Oliver gathered, in his primitive thinking, because he sent another image of them splitting directions around the silver werewolf and moving as if they were snakes. Not in a straight line but moving serpentine. Then Odin bolted, giving the werewolf a wide berth, mouth open and panting. Oliver followed suit, just on the other side as started to run in a similar motion.
***
Giselle backed up quickly from Azizi’s lunge at her, then did a sharp turn so as to get in between the lions to shoot through the entrance. Giselle really wasn’t trying to help Tansel; Bradley was trying to be her distraction as she made it through to get the ranks, but with there being a line of lions blocking the entrance she had to do her own distracting too. And it helped her fellow packmates, because she saw them slipping past.
Bradley swooped down again, heart racing for his mate as he dove at Azizi one more time. He shifted mid-dive, feet first as he aimed for the lion’s head. His intention was to get the lion to eat dirt; he saw the death of some of these shifters, and it made his stomach uneasy. Did he believe that he could easily kill this lion? No, nor was that his intention. He just wanted a new life with his wife, and if he had to, he would at the very least maim anyone that stood in his way.
He didn’t want to even think if he or Giselle died in this. Couldn’t fathom it. Instead, he kept the task at hand on the forefront of his mind. If Azizi dodged, and Bradley saw the ground catching him instead of a fuzzy head, he would shift once more.
Tansel met Shomari with claws first, a snarl on her face showing long fangs. She was almost two feet smaller than him, but what she lacked in size was made up for in spirit. The licking of his lips was not lost on her, as she took it as a taunt. It made her angry, and she couldn’t help but have the desire to rake her claws down his muzzle. Really, she more than likely would only do cosmetic damage if her claws met. If they did, she would back away quickly, pacing back and forth as she looked for another opening. She couldn’t give him her stomach, that much her leopard snarled at her. That, and they needed to get into the Pit for the envelopes. Samiha and Slater were counting on them.
But this lion was taunting her.
Focus, Tansel, Slater said through the link to her as he reached for one of the jackals with both of his hands, one at the nape of its neck and the other at its tail so that he could toss it. If the jackal didn’t squirm too much he would have been thrown quite a distance. Samiha would have landed on another, her teeth going for the nape of the neck as her fore and back claws dug in deep to anchor herself.

‘I am nothing special.’ Eliora mumbled, too stubborn to accept the compliment for what it was. If she chose she could go faster, but she kept her speed at a decent mileage enough where she could feel her muscles begin to burn but not enough to strain her muscles or cause them to tear. ‘I keep telling you this.’ Whether she would admit it or not she and those of her ilk were indeed something special. There were none like them yet she refused to acknowledge the simple fact.
‘I am glad.’ She stated as she easily kept up with the vehicle. When Voss mentioned her need of helping the pack members participating in the trial, she was glad for her thick fur that covered her embarrassment. Surprisingly she told the truth. ‘I do.’ She stated simply. She didnt bother denying the fact that she had joined the pack, just the fact that er and Voss were speaking on this link was proof enough.
Soon her attention was turned from the silliness of her thoughts to the strange SUVs that were trying to block them in. The thought of someone bringing harm to them angered her and she could feel the Darkness within her begin to stir. There was no hiding the almost feral snarl that came from her as her claws dug into the ground forcefully with each step she took. She didnt recognize them and wasnt happy with their antics. She was torn between staying beside Voss’s car and destroying those that were in their way. ‘Are they friends of yours?’ She growled and snapped her jaws as she eyed the closest vehicle. She only needed the ‘go ahead’ so she could rip into the Vehicle as if it were a tin can.
Anthony looked back in his rear view and lifted a brow. ‘You good Bossman?’ He asked. As he turned his attention back to their conversation. He could tell that Kia was trying not to upset Foxxy with the obvious truth. Listened actively to Foxxy speak as he rubbed his thumb over the back of Kia’s hand.
“ i think everyone will do really well.” she said optimistically. “Though i know some wont get ranks i think they will do well, especially if they do their best.” Anthony gave a small smile at her innocence and optimism, amazed that she still even had any.
~*~
Antonio pulled up to the Palace and saw that the doors were closed and wondered what the hell was going on and then remembered that the Pack had an event going and wondered if Sia was participating. It would make sense since Sammie was operating in the Pit for this thing. He got out of the car and let Pandora out and closed the door behind her. As he walked over to the front door,Pandora obediently walked beside him. He opened the door and was met with an empty foyer. He growled low and slammed the door. “Where the fuck is everybody at?!” He called out and Pandora sniffed the air clearly curious about this new place.
The scent of food was strong in the air causing his stomach to growl and Pandora to look at him.
Tommy was sitting among the others and was chatting and eating, smiling softly as he caught Pi surreptitiously eating something from his plate. When he heard the door open , he shared a glance with Tia. she lifted a brown and nearly sighed when she heard Antonio’s voice though became curious at the smell of a real tiger. Tia slowly got up from her seat and began to head to where Antonio was waiting.
~*~
Haloke grinned and laughed along with Lala. “ Sometimes bareback is the best way to go.” Haloke gave Lala a droll look at her high ho silver comment before shaking her head. Did this woman really just say that shit? ‘Hold on homegirl.’ she said along the link and reared up on her hind legs , just to show off a lil’ bit before taking off as if she were really trying to run on the air currents themselves.
After some time they had finally made it to the Pit area and the chaos that was taking place there. She saw Shane off to the side and trotted over to him.
“Aight look, we dont need to spend our time fighting. The point is to get in, get envelopes and get out to the next point to secure the rank they hold.” Shane said to both Haloke and Lala as they neared the shadows of the Pit,getting straight to the point. The chaos that stood above and before them was incredible and crazy. But he didnt waste time as he snuck off towards the cave entrance.
“Cool.” Haloke said and turned to look at Lala. “check you later.” she said and waited for Lala to get down before she shifted and found a place to stash their bags and then she too would sneak off towards the entrance in her birthday suit, side stepping several fights along the way.
~*~
Evera had flown straight into the cave entrance of the Pit, once again tucking her wings against her body as she flew past. She took advantage of the distraction that was caused by those who decided to gain the attention of the lions who’d been guarding it. Though she did see Mustafa though he simply sat there, overlooking the chaos and not bothering to move an inch. She figured it was a safe bet that he wouldnt interfere .
As soon as she had made it inside, she had gone to the MC booth, to search there first, figuring it hadnt been done. She gave Sammie a bit of a start though he composed himself and simply moved out of her way. He smiled down at her when she found the envelope. She wasnt intending to find an envelope on her first search but when she did she was shocked and simply stared at it for a moment. The sound of others coming in and frantically searching , snapped her out of her daze as she picked the envelope up in her beak and took off. She still needed to find at least one more.
~*~
Raymond and Falcon flew inside, shifting midair as the went to the stands to look for envelopes, they were thankful to those that had stepped in but their goal was the envelopes and they were hell bent on getting them. They overturned seats to look beneath them and after several chairs they were going to give up on the area until Falcon found an envelope. They both stopped and stared at the other. It was silence between them and Falcon grinned as Raymond narrowed his eyes.
Before Raymond could fix his mount to say anything to Falcon, Falcon took off with his envelope in his mouth.
“You bastard! The least you could do was help me find mine!” Raymond yelled at him and kicked the surrounding chairs around him and flew off to the fighting pit to see if anything would have been down there.

Saunders moaned after the car had crashed into a nearby tree. He’d hit his head hard and had blood flowing down his face. Thankfully he’d had the sense to wear his seatbelt otherwise he’d have been thrown through the windshield with the impact of the car into the tree. The car was damn near split in two and the tree was definitely murdered. His collarbone had been snapped, there was a gash up the side of his right arm, starting from his forearm to just above his elbow. His shoulder had been dislocated, his right ankle was broken and a few of his ribs had been broken as well.
His entire body was in pain. He was dizzy and definitely light headed, no doubt from a concussion. He could do nothing more than moan before he started to lose consciousness. No
Sooner had his eyelids met there was a mighty roar that reverberated through his body causing the pain to increase. It had him clinging to the scraps of his consciousness to at least see the ones that would finish him off.
The lion’s roar carried to Mustafa who stiffened and looked up at Sammie. Sammie sighed. He’d thought that he would be able to genuinely relax for just a moment. But no, some dumbass had to go and get fucked up. It would have been simpler if he’d have just died. Sammi nodded his head and made a long low growl that traveled to his kin. Sammie would have to leave the Pit and take the injured man to one of his medical facilities that were sorta nearby. As Sammie walked out, Abasi growled menacingly lowering his tail and left the entrance to escort Sammie to his vehicle,conceding the position to those who were needing to pass, ensuring the man made it safely to his car through the surrounding battlefield. He would repay Raymond back for throwing a fucking carcass in his face.
“Mustafa will take over for me and you will , as always you will be his second. Dont bring me anymore messes.” Sammie said with a deep scowl as he closed his door and drove off without another word.
Hodari shifted and snatched the door from the hinges and tossed it aside. The bear inside was badly injured and needed immediate medical attention. There was no way that he would be finishing the trial. Hodari cut the seatbelt from him and gently picked up the man’s broken body. He didnt care that he was naked, that was of little importance. He’d roared again after he’d walked about twenty feet and he heard the incoming vehicle.
Sammie threw the vehicle in park while popping his trunk at the same time. He was none too happy as he went to the run to grab some plastic and stabilizing materials to keep his body in place during travel. He set up the back seat and moved aside so that Hodari could place the man inside and secure him. He slammed the door closed and glared at Hodari before he looked past him in the direction the ones responsible were in and glared at them too.
“As i told Mustafa and Abasi, i dont want anymore messes sent my way. Ya got that?” Sammie growled then grunted when they bowed their head to him. He turned to Hodari and waved him off. “Go finish playing.” Hodari watched as he got in his car and drove off before turning in the direction of the guilty party as well. “Seriously, man?.” he said and growled ,shaking his head before shifting and running off to finish his job.
~*~
Those who had ridden in the car with Zehra had managed to arrive and in the midst of the chaos and parked a safe distance away. They all got out and headed towards the entrance trying their best not to engage in the conflict that tried to pull them in. Tony, Zehra, Afuaha and Ahanu had shifted into their animal forms creating a bit of a barrier for Taylan and Estia as they ran straight for entrance. Once they were able to gain entry, they split up and began to frantically look for envelopes.
~*~
Paetra had to admit that she was a bit shaken with the presence of many of the predators that were present, though when Mustafa gave her a reassuring grin, she relaxed a bit from her spot under a nearby tree against a boulder. After A’kierra gave the quick go ahead for Nerriah and Khaylan to run inside, they did so without hesitation. They were small enough to go unnoticed but the crew handling the Pit had “eyes” of their own but they were there merely to observe.
Nerriah and Khaylan split up and began looking in places that they thought the others wouldnt bother to. As time passed, the pit was becoming more and more crowded but they tried to keep their thoughts focused as they searched.
~*~
To say that Amp had gone in swinging would have been an understatement. He gave fair warning that he had no qualms using the bat that was in his hands if any dared to come close. Still there were some that didnt take heed and learned the hard way that he meant what he’d said. BJ had ran straight through as others had done and literally threw Estelle over the threshold before he was tackled by a large man wearing brass knuckles.
The wind had been knocked from his lungs with the impact and he was stunned for a moment. When he did gather himself he snarled and was about to begin attacking the man , when Amp came through with the metal bat and cracked the man in the ribs. The sound of them cracking was very audible, BJ pushed the man off of him and accepted Amp’s outstretched hand.
“See, that is a lot more useful than your actual shift. Let’s go.” Bj said with a huff as he headed for the entrance once more, ignoring those that were out fighting as he ran past.
“You do realize i just saved your ass,right?!” Amp called out angrily and hissed when BJ merely ignored him and kept going. “Should’ve let him tag your ass again.” he muttered to himself as he followed BJ.
~*~
Deidre had his third jackal in his mouth, making a meal of that one as well. Lil’ Jay ripped the throat of the one he held down before turning to go after another that had come his way. The fuckers were never ending and he was losing precious time. They needed to get into the Pit for the envelopes but these jokers werent giving up.
The arrival of the leopard only caused even more to come to fight. He didnt have anyone on the inside for him, his only partner was deidre and he was fighting alongside him. ‘This is getting us nowhere. As fun as it is to destroy them we have to make it inside.Catch and toss man.’ he said to Deidre who then looked over at the leopard that was fighting with them and the man that accompanied her. ‘Dude you get in the middle and we will guard you as we make our way to the entrance. We dont have time to fight every last one of them.Let’s go” Jay said decisively and Deidre immediately fell in line. He would take up the rear. Jay expected the leopard to take up the right whale he took up the left and the dude in the middle.
He saw a man with a whip and hoped like fuck he wouldnt be their next fucking problem. There were so many others for him to choose from. He was already starting to get tired of this shit and it just started. He growled to himself knowing that this was meant to be trying and difficult otherwise it would have been called a trial. He took a deep breath and kept his wits about him, determined to face whatever came at them next.
~*~
Azizi may not have flinched at the falcon coming at him the first time but that had definitely put him on his radar. As Giselle turned around and tried to slip past him he made a movement as if he was going to bite her, only to shift on the balls of his feet to rake one of his large claws through the air at the incoming threat and roared as the man shifted back into his animal form. Mustafa chuckled as he watched Giselle get past Azizi and make her way into the cave. The female had created a wide opening for others to come through, at least until Abasi came back to his position and filled that space.
Mustafa turned his attention to the fight between the snow leopard and Shomari. She had guts and courage, something he knew his brother would very much appreciate. Shomari bared his fangs as well and met her attack without flinching as her claws raked his face. He swung one of his sheathed paws at her, not letting up or giving her rest. He wanted to see what she had. He roared seeing her back away from him. He matched her steps growling the entire time wanting to see what she would try next. He licked his lips once more wanting to taste the sweetness of her blood.Mustafa growled at Shomari to keep him in the correct mind frame. The snow leopard was not his prey and he could not eat her. Shomari grunted and shook his mane as he refocused. He waited a moment pacing with her before he suddenly lunged at her pushing himself forward his eyes dead set on her.
He had heard the message that had been sent through regarding the crash and Sammie leaving but he didn't let that deter him from his target. He knew that it would be handled by someone else and if they truly needed him then they would let him know.

Voss let out a sigh of frustration from her lack of confidence. He would eventually speak with her on this. It was the SUV's he needed to keep an eye on for his daughter's sake. At first, Lottie had not noticed the vehicles pulling up alongside them. She had been watching the scenery until the wall of rock blocked her view. Turning her eyes to the noise beside them, it had her tilting her head. Seeing how close the bigger vehicle was to Elior, she became agitated.
Lottie saw the one in front and looked over her shoulder saw one in the back. Her heart seemed to skip a beat as she reached quickly to put her seat belt on. Nox buried himself in her bra in hopes of not flying from the car. The SUV by Elior was closing in closer to her when the link from Voss came out to her. ' Rend them' was all that came across. He hoped that the car with Kagome in it would end up a crushed can. Tallying the events back at the pit in his head as he heard the words filter into his head the mass feeling of those that were part of the pack. " We have an annoyance, Anthony. I am hoping to get rid of it."
The SUV in the back had rolled its passenger window down. Someone moved to sit on the bottom of the window, holding onto the oh-shit handle. On the other hand, was gripped with an uzi. Their aim seemed to be off as the cars moved along the highway, bullets pinging off the pavement.
Kagome held a CB looking mic to her lips as she squeezed on the lever. The speaker was loud and sharp as she spoke." You forgot to invite me, Vossy!" She smiled as one of the SUV'S tugged on its breaks, making him slow down a little, almost ramming the SUV in the back. Voss let out a snarl though his lips held a vicious smile on his face. He floored it and rammed the front of his car into the SUV in front of him.
~*~
Kia felt his thumb rub on her hand, her face would become rosy from embarrassment at the enjoyment of it in the middle of what seemed to be a very bad car chase. She would close her eyes until she heard the uzi it making her heart hammer in her chest her lip curling as the sound of a wolf came from in a growl.
She felt the want to change and being trapped in this tin can had her anxeity peaking its ugly head like it did when Carmine shoved her in the small cage. He had used cattle prods to electrocute her. Her hand tightened on Anthony's.
~*~
Pi was nibbling on a piece of toast with butter on it as she giggled at Tommy. Her blushed cheeks rosy in color against her pale skin. She would frown when she heard the front door slam. She stood up quickly walked for the door, hearing a man yell as to where everyone was. Seeing a man with a tiger standing in the foyer had her wondering what he was doing here. Then she remembered even though the Palace was closed to the public, that her mother's suitor pack would be utilizing the place.
She moved down the hallway before stopping before him." Hello, Welcome to King's Palace." She would look him over before taking her eyes to his companion before back to him. " We are currently closed to the public." She said with a gracious smile, she normally adorned for her friends and such.
~*~
The person with the mask tilted their head looking at Hodari as the crossbow hung off their shoulder on a hook. The fast movement of their fingers told them they spoke ASL. When the lion took off the mute only gesture made was the bird, the person moved towards the pit looking for their next victim.
The mute ran up on a rock face over some rusted cans pulling the crossbow from its hook. The person pulled their mask down, sipping on a camel back water system from their pack. They seemed to be female, their eyes having a bar of soot-like substance around them, cutting the glare looking dark against their pale skin.
She would pop a few pieces of some trail mix into her mouth, sipping some more liquid before pulling her mask back up. She would start to load the sand-colored crossbow. It had a six-bolt shooting rig. She waited to see if any more vehicles were coming into the pit.
~*~
The silver were-wolf turned as they passed him on each side, letting out a snarl. It was soon he had moved to go after both Oliver and Odin. The silver furred bastard saw that they were playing with him. He would turn from trying to get both of them and be-lined for Oliver. The collar tight around his neck jangled from the tag, a loud whistle had him sliding to a stopping point. His ears would flick up, listening before the whistle happened again. He would dash off away from them. The furred silver Were, headed near the rusted cans used to ship oil beneath the rock with the mute above. His tongue lolled out his mouth past the large canines, moving to the woman who was Mute. Once she jumped down. Her fingers went into his fur as he seemed to arch into her hand. She would hang the crossbow on her shoulder. Dreads tied up were tight without sway as her hips swayed. She would send a flare up into the air, signaling that the distraction was over. Those with bows came out of their cover and started to walk off with her.
~*~
Darius felt the shift in the car. He slips out of the SUV, his longboard shorts camo in nature. He looked at the now flat tires as he cursed loudly. "Sorrow we got to get out and walk." The woman in the back sighed. She had seen someone slinking about earlier. She motioned for him to get the bags. This gesture made him look her up and down. He makes a sniffing noise before he motioned his thumb off at her. She would shrug her shoulders as she watched the pit entrance for the return of Åge and Revna.
Åge watched as the raven flew into the pit with the distractions of others. He ran past the opening was presented to him at the pit entrance. Once, inside he began to search high and low for envelopes containing the ranks. When he looked towards the ceiling, he saw Revna pecking at something while flying. It would drop to him. He missed it, bending over to pick it up. She flew around looking before descended quickly, shifting into her human form.
They searched on for more packets, finding one in the depths of the pit. Revna would hand it to him before climbing out, turning into her raven form once more to perch on his shoulder. He saw one near the entrance and started walking out with her on his shoulder. They had been so busy looking they had not seen any other around them. Åge took little time to exit the Pit entrance heading for his group. He would hand out the ones he had taken.
~*~
The man with the whip had turned to try and hit Åge, though blood would splatter from him, the crimson hit the dirt and sand. The loud fifty caliber rifle sound echoed from afar. The man would grip his side and take a knee. Raider had not had a clean shot when Jay and Deidre were fighting the jackals before the pit. And now he had. He packed up his weapon, putting the case over his shoulder. He took off at a jogging pace heading for the pit. The man with the whips still gripped his side. The exit wound was closing up slow, so he remained writhing on the floor. The silver bullet had left fragments inside. Raider had let La La fill his clips for him.
~*~
La La had been excited when she reared up it had caused her to make a whooping noise as she held onto her mane as they took off. It was a sad day when the ride came to an end at the pit. She reluctantly jumped down from her taking the bags. " That was fun." She said to her before untieing them to put one on as she held the other. She would pull out her gun a little way, looking at it. She returned it to its holster not long after.
Not seeing Evera outside she thought her feathers might have met resistance. She rested her hand on the handle of her gun as she walked for the entrance of the pit. As she stepped inside she drew her gun," Feathers? Baby?" She looked around for her.
~*~
Chakori landed on a branch on a dead tree near the pit she had watched Eòin make his way naked into the Pit when there had been an opening. She had also seen him sneak back out going to his hidden pack. She felt she had worried for nothing. Eòin stuffed the envelope into his backpack before he returned to his buck form he would take the pack in his mouth and take off on a run.
Chakori would take off again flying above him before coming down and landing on the antler. She would look around him making sure he was not going to be attacked without a warning.
~*~
Ka'ron had wasted no time jump out of the truck leaving it behind it now had a flat from running over a sharp rock. He kicked the tire before he headed for the pit, his backpack on his back. He was not happy getting there so late, his mind had been on Foxy the whole damn ride. Seeing the chaos before him he would charge past those fighting. When the entrance seemed wide open it took not long for him to run inside. It seemed that death was in the air with a lot of blood it was making his head fuzzy.
His skin felt like it wanted to crawl, heading towards Antonio's office door. It was not a shock it was locked, he looked around to see if anyone was looking before he pissed on the door. After a few good shakes, he walked away down the hall again. He ran his hand along the wall checking behind some boxes. He was holding out to not change until he found a packet. He felt something pulling it form among some boxes and chairs. Seeing had the symbol on it for the trail he would shove it into his backpack before slipping it on. He would take off on a run, he knew he had to get to Sammie's place before someone attacked him. He had wanted to wait for Evera and La La but he was afraid they might try and steal his.

Oliver and Odin did not once look back at the silver werewolf that followed after them. If Oliver had noticed that it had him in his sights he would have stopped to fight it, leaving Odin to get to the Pit by himself. But he didn't, and they made it to the Pit a few minutes after amidst the chaos.
Odin sent him the question of where the silver were went, causing Oliver to shake his head. Let's just get inside. Look, there's an opening.
They didn't engage in any fighting. Instead, they took the opening and shifted, looking for the packets.
Giselle felt rather than saw the lion coming at her. His hot breath rushed at her, his teeth snapping closed just before she bounced in. She bleated in alarm, eyes wide. But when he didn't follow her in she shifted so that she could have her hands to search for the envelopes.
It took her a while to find one deeper in (each minute she took was another minute she panicked, knowing that if she wasn't able to get these she would have to fight for them), pausing just briefly to feel the material of it. This was it: this was the future in her hands. I've got one, baby, she said, awe clearly in her voice. I just need to find another.
Keep that one for yourself. I'm coming in.
Bradley, with his wings stretched out wide, coasted above the fighting. He saw Slater, Semiha, Lil' Jay and Deidre making a group to fend off the jackals, with Tansel facing off with one of the lions. As much as he'd like to help, his main focus was getting those envelopes. No time for fighting.
He flapped his wings once, twice, three times to get him higher in the air, then turned around so as to face the Pit's opening. He knew that Azizi, the lion Giselle evaded, would be watching for him, so he gave him a wide berth, opting to fly over Tansel and Shomari. With Shomari occupied, it should not take him long to fly over his head and into the Pit.
Tansel felt the strength Shomari possessed within that swipe he gave her. There were no claws she felt, but he had her stumbling before she quickly regained her footing. At his roar she howled in return, showing to him that she was not afraid of him. That her backing up wasn't a sign of cowardice.
Tansel was not worried about getting the envelopes now. Not concerned over the fact that Slater and Semiha were fighting their way through jackals to get into the pit. For the briefest of moments, Shomari bore the face of her father, who was one of the reasons why they were in this trial in the first place. She saw his cold eyes, witnessed his leopard's cruelty, and smelled the innocent blood he shed. The logical part of her brain reminded her that she was out - she was safe. But instinct and her leopard overruled her.
When he charged at her, she jumped ten feet into the air, turning just so and hoped that she timed it perfect so that he was under her when she landed. If so, she would dig her claws into his flank and go for the spot between his shoulders. If not, when she landed she would go to bite his back left leg.
Slater looked to Lil' Jay as he spoke, brows drawn together in a look of concentration. "Sounds good," he said, then used the pack link to speak with Semiha about what they planned on doing.
Semiha detached herself from the jackal she was fighting with to take up the right, panting. She was starting to see now that when they said this would be a trial, they meant it.

When Azizi’s targets went past him, he shrugged and simply let them go. They had already made it in the cave , there was no point in following them since they could not fight in there. He turned and watched his brother’s fight. It looked like fun and he wanted to join , so he did. He waited until the leopard was on her descent. Shomari looked up and over his shoulder before he did a jump turn to get out of the way. He then turned again to swipe her with barley sheathed claws. Azizi lunged to tackle Tansel as soon as she touched ground.
Abasi watched from the shadows debating whether or not he should join in too, as his brothers played with the female. She didn't seem too worried about the trial or her rank, so for the time being she would make a fun toy.
~*~
Evera had managed to get her claws on the other envelope she needed for Lala hauled ass towards the entrance nearly colliding with Raymond as they crossed paths, missing one another by a breath. She was strictly focused on getting the envelopes and getting back to Lala, that was all that mattered to her. She was trying so hard not to turn and run away.
They still had a long way to go before they would be able to find rest because they had to go to the second point in order to keep their ranks. She figured she could stay in the skies, keeping them safe from others. She perked up when she heard LaLa call out her name. Evera followed her voice and watched as the man who stood at the entrance casually looked over at the passing Lala. She clutched the envelopes tightly in her left claw and called out to Lala. “ I am here!” Evera called out noticing the gun Lala had drawn.
“There’s no fighting inside. If you do then you are instantly disqualified. None of the workers inside will lift a hand to you.” He said simply and turned back to watch his brothers fight , ensuring that they didnt kill the potential pack members.
He made a motion with his hand and his words were echoed throughout the pit as they were relayed by mouth from the workers inside. Truthfully, that should have been announced prior to the trial beginning but there was nothing to do about it now.
‘Come, we shouldnt waste time. We need to go, while we have a good lead.’ she said along their link and flew just above her head. Now was not the time for leisure, they still had to make their way back through the chaos.
~*~
One by one, the groups and individuals were filling the cave and searching for envelopes
A few fights would break out but were soon handled when the ones fighting were thrown out and disqualified from the trial. Many of the others had managed to get their hands on
Several envelopes were making mad dashes to get out and away from the Pit, their next stop was Sammie’s Mortuary.
Raymond and Falcon had managed to grab an envelope and were racing to the Mortuary.
Paetra and her group were also making their way out, they’d managed to snag at least four envelopes.
Estelle had managed to snag two envelopes while Bj snagged the third. He and the other two had met back up at his car. His vehicle had its two back tires flattened and it pissed him off. Growling, he threw open his trunk and dug around before pulling out his spare and a donut to replace the flattened tires before they too took off to the next checkpoint.
Lil’ Jay and his crew had managed to get inside the pit and snag a few envelopes themselves before taking off, throwing a quick thanks over their shoulders. They were tired and angered by their fight with the neverending jackals but they knew that they needed to keep going.
Haloke and Shane had found their envelopes and were already on their way to the Mortuary, Shane riding on Haloke’s back in pain from his wounds.
Zehra and her group drove the car that they had rode in, making their way carefully to the Mortuary,or at least as close as they could get to it. They had managed to snag at least seven envelopes among them.

As Tia and Tommy shared their look,Pi seemed to have taken off to see it was. Tia sighed and quickly flanked her on the right as Tommy took up the left. Antonio looked at the young woman in front of him for a moment before dismissing her to speak to Tia, completely ignoring Tommy. Tommy looked at the asshole with contempt as Tia lifted a brow at Antonio. “The fuck? Has Sia lost her ever loving mind? Why the fuck is there a child answering the door?” He demanded.
Tommy growled and took a step towards Antonio,while trying to guard Pi from the asshole standing before them. Pandora moved in front of Antonio with a snarl, tracking every move Tommy made. “Watch your tone and your words when referring to the young Miss.” Tommy growled and could feel his fangs elongate along with his claws.
“Oh ok, so when did the pussies start talking back to patrons? I wasn't talking to you.” Before he could even finish speaking Tia had snarled, causing Pandora to cower and had her hand around Antonio’s throat and growling in his face. “You will respect this place and those that were left in charge here, especially Sia’s daughter. So let's try this again. She said ‘Welcome, but we’re closed to the public.”
Antonio cocked his gun that he had pulled out the moment she moved and pressed it into her stomach. “I said what I said.” He growled and could feel the grip on his neck tighten as she slowly cut off his air. Tia pressed even more into the gun as each of her words dripped with promise. “As did I. Sia is not here to keep me from tearing into your ass. Who do you think will be the one to walk away from this standing, hm?” She asked and her eyes began to change to that of her cat and the hunter that lay within pressed to come forth. “Now, my Mistress was being nice enough to smile at you and you being the jack ass you are, blatantly disrespected her. Explain to the young Mistress ,why the fuck you are here or get the fuck out.”
Antonio didnt bat an eye at the incident, there was no fear and he stood his ground. Tommy stood with his arms crossed over his chest as he angrily stared at Antonio waiting for him to speak. Antonio narrowed his eyes at Tia, who let up on her grip,. “I just want a room so i can sleep. The pit is over run with pack members participating in the damn trial and i cant get any fucking rest. So i came here to buy a room.” He said glaring at Pi before angry blue eyes turned to Tia. “Ya’ll gonna give me a room or what?”
Tia’s gaze was full of contempt as she held his. “This is not a fucking hotel. We dont ‘rent rooms’. You get a room if you pay for a girl. And for you specifically, the girl gets to choose her price. This was made abundantly clear after your last visit here.” She turned from him to the baby tiger and gave a soft smile. “ Pandora, huh? Cute. She will be a force to recon with when she gets older. You better not fuck it up.” She said and growled at Antonio. “Surprised it even likes you.” Antonio stiffened and turned to Pi. “I would like to buy a room or girl, however you want to splice it. I’ll pay the price for whoever, I just need it until they are done with the Pit.” He said in a flat tone.
Tia released him and moved back to Pi though she didn't take her eyes from Antonio. “Mistress, what would you like to do for this cur?” Tia asked with a slight bow never breaking eye contact. Antonio was lucky as hell Sia wasn't here to hear him speak to Pi in such a manner. The woman was crazy overprotective of her and Anthony would have had one less brother. He was fucking stupid, though Tia had to begrudgingly admit that he’d come in clutch it was needed. She straightened up cocked her hip and crossed her arms over her chest.

Eliora didnt need any more instruction than that. With a snarl she immediately pushed against the SUV and forced it away from Voss’s car so that he could get away from the box that the other vehicles were trying to put him in. She rammed the side of the vehicle with her shoulder causing a large dent in the side of the car causing it to swerve off even more, widening the hole for Voss to get through. ‘GO!’ Eliora snarled at Voss to keep going as she dealt with them, ignoring any bullets that would manage to actually hit her.
Eliora made a move as if she were going to follow the car that she’d hit only to rush the car in the back and crashed into the side of it causing it to drag across the rockface on their right. The fact that they had nearly caused Voss’s car to ram into the back of the other one only fed her anger making it ever harder to try and control it; the woman's voice on the speaker was familiar and irritated her. Eliora tried to put Voss and Lottie out of her mind, she hoped this situation didn't stress Lottie too much. The thought angered her even more and her eyes began to change colors. Eliora could feel her shadow self slithering beneath her flesh.
‘Sssoo , are you going to have some fun with them at least ? You won't attack that so-called pack of yours, have some fun with these fools.’ Aroile’s silken voice had a cold shiver running down her spine.
‘I will not give in to you, no matter what tactics you try.’ Eliora snapped as she turned and went after the first SUV that was trying to speed up and run her over. She turned on the run and just barely missed getting rammed.
‘Are you sure? They seem pretty hell bent on fucking you up. I’m pretty sure they dont give a fuck about your self righteousness at the moment. I mean you did fuck up their car.’ Aroile said in an almost bored voice. As Eliora found herself running along the side of the vehicle, keeping it separated from the others. She spared them a brief look but due to their tinted windows, she saw only her own reflection and quickly looked away at the sight. Her eyes had turned a weird heterochromic mix with the left being a deep golden color and the right being a mix between Red and violet. The fact that her inner struggle manifested itself, bothered her.
She heard the sickly sweet laugh of Aroile and Eliora growled deep. ‘I dont understand why you hold yourself back. This is the perfect time to let out some of that murderous rage and frustration that you cant let loose on your ‘precious pack?’ She said derision dripping on the words ‘precious pack’.
Just then the SUV had made a quick turn to ram her. She met the impact head on. The crash was audible and hurt like shit but still Eliora didnt let up. Her anger and frustration had been building and Aroile’s words only added fuel to the flames and fanned them , as always. These people were not of pack and she had been given permission to attack. ‘Yes, because we definitely need permission from a stranger to do as we please.’ Aroile snarled and Eliora snarled back as she pushed the vehicle back. Without missing a beat or step, she shifted into her gauru form as her anger overcame her. She grabbed the side of the vehicle and flipped it, practically throwing the vehicle away from her before giving chase wanting to destroy the thing.
When the vehicle landed it was on its roof and the windows were broken. There were creatures crawling from the broken windows. Some bursted into flames as soon as the sun touched their skin. ‘Ah see look at that, they’re neither human nor wolf. Let’s tear them asunder.’ Aroile cooed to her clouded mind. She didnt need to be told to do something she was going to do anyway.
There were at least four that were still trying to get away, though a couple of them were pinned by the wrecked vehicle. Eliora tore into them literally ripping them apart. Her claws ripped through their flesh and bone as if they were butter, she ripped one in half as she snatched on it to pull it from under the vehicle. Angered that he died too quickly she ripped open its chest and ripped its throat out before she turned and mauled the other.
The bullets that were flying at her were of little to no consequence as she ignored them and ripped the head off of the other in the process of ripping the door off the hinges to look for more that may have been hiding in the vehicle. When she found none she snarled though it sounded more of a roar as she lifted the SUV and threw it at the ones who were shooting at her chasing after them as they tried to get out of the way of the incoming airborne vehicle.
It didn't take Eliora long to capture one of them in her jaws as she simultaneously struck the other with her clawed hand and tore right through him as he went flying with the force of it. The one in her mouth, she shook it like a rag doll, slightly intrigued by the blood that filled her mouth and the struggle of the creature allowing her to feel its strength. The thought lasted a mere second as she focused on ripping the creature apart.
Aroile danced merrily to the tune of the screams from the creatures within reach of the beast. At the destruction and death though it did not satisfy it on the level that it liked but it was entertaining at least. Eliora ripped a large chunk of flesh and bone from the man, and tried to catch him as he fell to the ground screaming. She missed and snarled before stomping on him, digging her clawed feet into the remaining half of his body and made a clawed strike with her hand and sent his head sailing away.
She turned to the remaining man that was currently trying to run away from her. With a deep growl she tore after him. The red color of her eyes began to bleed over into the golden one. She had easily caught up with him and launched herself at him tackling him to the ground, breaking his bones with the impact and proceeded to tear him apart, not stopping until he was nothing but a bloody mess. Her anger spiked as she didn't find anything else to destroy at this point and went back to commence with the destruction of what was left of the vehicle.
She lifted her head and let loose a deep bone chilling howl that carried to whoever was in hearing distance. She snarled and aggressively shook her head when she felt her mind being touched.

Anthony enjoyed seeing Kia enamored and it was clear by the small smile on his face. At the sound of gunshots being fired off his smile disappeared and turned into a deep frown. He could feel the anxiety that was racking Kia’s body. ‘Cheri?’ He called out to her through their own shared private link. Foxxy was shivering as she curled in on herself and whimpered.
‘Do you need assistance with that? Who is that woman?’ He asked Voss. He was sure to maintain his speed as he continued on with the trek to the Palace. When he heard the howl of the Gauru, his blood ran cold. That was not a good sign. He tentatively tried to reach out to Eliora through the pack link, though he was able to touch her mind for a brief moment, her blood lust made him sick to his stomach. Soon a hard block slammed down on him as if the jaws of the beast itself clamped shut around him and made him dizzy a moment before his mind cleared up. “ Is she going to be, ok?” Foxxy asked, tears running down her face. She was worried about those that were behind them and what was happening.

The mute walked after the groups that were heading for the mortuary. She seemed to have a boring look, as her group walked away from the aftermath, of the first part of the trail. It was going to be a long walk to where they were headed. And she and her group were not about to run.
~*~
Raider had run after the group he had come in with. Lil'jay was ahead of him carrying the sniper rifle was extra wait he could handle. He noticed that it seemed not that difficult for some to get what they needed. He had thought it was a little odd though, perhaps it would be harder once they got further into it.
~*~
Sorrow would look over the tires shaking her head." Pull the tire off the other ones. " She said to them. Darius would shrug his shoulders as Åge had come over to help remove tires to put on their car. They would take the time to do so before piling into the car. They would then drive off.
~*~
Eòin took off galloping towards the direction everyone else was headed. He was enjoying the private escort of Chakori who kept a swivel on their surroundings.
~*~
La La heard the male say there was no fighting inside the pit she would push the gun back inside its holster before she would look at her mate" Feathers!" She said loudly over the link. When her mate urged her that they should leave quickly she would smile. Reaching up she took the envelopes. She would put it in her pack carrying both." You fly up high enough to be out of leaping reach but close enough if I need to shoot someone down for you." She said in an asking voice more than a demanding voice. She would be staying with Evera instead of the group she had come with. She was quick about exiting and heading off towards the mortuary.
~*~
Ka'ron had been quick to set off on a run towards the mortuary. He would know the fastest route as he had been with Anthony and them for a while. They had made trips there often. He figured he could just tail lil'Jay and bj that way in case someone tried to attack them they could help each other.
~*~
Pi held a look of insult as he dismissed her, she recovered quickly though. Pi would straighten more holding her head high as Tia her guard would what one does while protecting their charge. She had a little blush to her face though in how Tommy was acting all so. Even though he was not her guard she was thrilled that he seemed to be ready to tear into the man. When Tia released him in the few moments it took to speak with him. Her attitude changed quickly from the bubbly slightly shy girl to more like her mother. She would look at him," Problem clients have to pay extra for rooms or girls. As is subject to each level of the problem. I hear you often kill the girls you purchase. It is that you will pay triple the amount you would pay normally for a room and a girl. " She said she would snap her fingers.
"I have a girl for you. Tawny. Her room is worth to you now thirty thousand. Your tiger is included in this insurance. If the room and girl are returned in the condition it was given to you in. Well, then you may get some of your cashback. "She said with a large smile. When the smile faded."I would not count on it though." She mumbled taking on her mother's persona more thickly.
" If that is not to your liking, Sir," She said accenting the sir." Then you can turn the fuck around and leave." She said once more her smile was not a happy one. She would rub her fingers together as if motioning for the money." Cash." She was not about to embarrass her mother by being coy with a pig-like him. "If you can't afford that then might I suggest your car as a place to take a nap."
~*~
When there was enough space for his car to speed past, did so without much thought. Hearing her scream for him to go he would shift his car with the stick jerking it back into place as he worked the pedal it was as if he had tunnel vision. He was shaken from it when the SUV ahead rammed into the side of his back bumper. It made the car spin hitting the railing before righting it again. He would let out a roar shifting the car again," You.."He stopped looking over at Lottie who's eyes had glossed over, he would look back at the road. She was sitting there shaking as she beat on her legs making a weird sound that some made when they were having a seizure. It was like a low moan, his anger was climbing as his body steamed. He had to push it down," Anthony I need you to block the SUV so I can get Lottie to safety. " He had said this over the whole pack link not shortening it.
It hit him hard that he could not go back to help Eliora, he wanted nothing more than to help her rip them to pieces. He would look in the review mirror seeing the sunroof open on the SUV as a woman crawled out on top of it. With the sun hitting her she would wince a little as her hand went to her weapon at her hip. Her other hand reached down taking out throwing knives before she would throw them at Anthony's car's tire. She would run down the front of the SUV as if she was doing so on flat ground.
She would launch herself at the car of Voss's them being close she would hit the back of it slicing her sword down into it to keep her self anchored. They would lock eyes through the rearview mirror for a moment before he sped the car up again shifting gears. Kagome smiled as she broke the back glass out of the car before sliding into the car. "Why did you not invite me, Vossy?" Sitting comfortably in the back of his car she stated. Her eyes focused on the girl in the front seat. SHe would click her tongue at the girl's distress. " You brought your offspring with you?"
Voss would say nothing to her question, which made her put her hand on the girl's shoulder bare-skinned. Kagome's eyes would turn white as if she had no iris or pupil in the orb. This seemed to bring Lottie out of her little rocking motion. " Eli!"She screamed to her friend still afraid. Kagome would see flashes of the girl's life before her hand would move from her. She would glove her hand." You are not very good at commanding your underlings Voss. " Her tone was less than playful now.
~*~
Kia was looking straight ahead as her black started to filter into her eyes, her mouth hung open as the inside of the car turned cold. Her breath coming out was fogging the air. Her mouth hanging open slightly had the sound of a growling wolf come out of it. Her skin beneath her clothes seemed to start becoming covered in ash her long hair becoming covered as well. Her mouth remained open as a wolf howl from within wanting to break free.
"Anthony" Her voice was soft along with the link as if it was sinking into something. As if she might be sucked into quicksand. The car seat she was in was now covered in the ash as her face would turn to look at him the eyes looked like a dark abyss of nothing. Kia was gone from this warrior that sat next to him. Her first fear that she had been washed away.

Azizi’s tackle succeeded, causing Tansel to hit her head against the ground rather hard. For a few moments, she was seeing stars. Stunned, she made no attempts at first to get out from under the larger cat. But she forced herself to writhe and wriggle out from under him, grunting and hissing as she did so.
When she stood, her head throbbed to the beat of her heart, and she heard a dull roar in her ears. She was steady on her paws, however, head hunkered in a defensive position as she swiveled it between the two lions. She didn’t know how long they fought, or how Slater managed it, but she was suddenly pulled away from the tussle by the scruff of her neck as if she were a kitten.
“Stupid flithy mutts,” Slater hissed under his breath, holding a livid Tansel at arm’s length while he held three envelopes in his other hand. He half-ran half-waddled to the parked car with Semiha at his side, who had shifted mid-run back to human. Naked as the day she was born, she opened the driver side door in a rush, throwing it open, then shut when she got it, with a whoomp.
“Get in. Get in getingetingetin!” Semiha said, urgent. Slater tossed Tansel, still in her leopard skin, into the passenger seat before he got into the back himself.
Onto the next point.
***
Giselle walked out of the Pit with one envelope tucked into the inner pocket of the riding jacket she wore before she shifted into her animal form. Some shifters were given the gift of having their clothes shift with them, and Giselle and Bradley were two of such shifters. Bradley’s dirt bike was not too far from the Pit, with a helmet resting on the handle. As she made her way to it, Bradley flew over head, his own envelope in his beak. Giselle couldn’t help but have a giddy smile on her face, laughter bubbling in her throat. Home is within her grasp.
After putting her helmet on and revving the engine, she chased after Bradley to the next point.
***
Odin and Oliver didn’t have envelopes. Odin, in his picture-by-picture way, asked what Oliver’s plan was next.
Oliver growled low, running after the receding crowd to the next point. They should have left early since they were running on foot. But there was no point in stressing about what was in the past. We steal the envelopes from somebody.
