*Humans & Animals*

Along the road by Orca Bay was a long line of flashy-colored trailers. Several humans, dressed brightly in strange-looking clothing, walked about with ballons, honking horns, and other strange objects. The scent of hotdogs, cotton candy, and other such foods was thick in the air. Over a hundered people were gathered, but their numbers would go down as night fell.

In some of the trailers, there were exotic animals. Two tigers, two lions, a black panther, a young black bear, and a small Asian elephant. Penned up in make-shift pens were 15 horses of various breeds. In another cage were 5 large parrots. Several varieties of snakes and lizzards were in two more trailers, housed in smaller cages and crates.

There was an aged donkey and 7 goats in another pen. And all around, humans walked, ate their food, looked at the animals, and road the horses. They had their pictures taken and watched as strange tricks were preformed with the animals.

Ransom, Immortal Dreams, Serena, Defiance, Jaden, Mirage

The group procided across the bay watching the orcas and birds. The leader Ransom trotted along in the front close behind by his best friend Defiance. Serena and her best friend Immortal Dreams trotted after them and bringing up the rear were the cougar Jaden and the snow leopard Mirage. They all talked queitly but when the came upon the strange sight of the circus the chatter hushed in a second. The boldest Jaden padded closer and peered from behind a huge boulder. Flicking her tail for the others to come closer they watched.

Ransom:"Hey guys how about we have some fun and wreck they're party?" He grinned and bared his fangs, he was a party animal, one who loved making a ruckus.
Defiance:He nodded grinning, "yeah lets. This will be fun." Baring his fangs along side his friend the looked at the others.
Serena:She growled and grinned ready to sink her teeth into one of the humans or other animals. "Sure I'm up for it".
Immortal Dreams:She nodded and stood beisde her friend grinning ready to also do some damage:
The Cats:Mirage and Jaden both grinned and nodded. "Ya lets" said Mirage. "Sure I'm ready to make some trouble" said Jaden.

The party slunk out together a mixture of black, white, grey, tan and spotted bodies. The all had a glint of humor in their orbs as the made their way to the center of the strange place. Ransom in the lead nodded to all of them and they each sprung into action. Mirage and Jaden leapt onto the trailers and roared and snarled then jumping down to the cages started pawing at the latches trying to free the animals. Dream and Serena jumped at some of the spectators growling and baring their needles. The leapt at their necks redy to sink into them and kill the humans. Ransom and Defiance slunk into a big tent or building (whichever one) and snarled. They went for the people in the arena jumping at them with their needles ready.

*Humans & Animals*

The tigers' cage was soon opened, as their doors weren't very well concealed. The female tiger hissed in fright, having never met a cougar or a snow leopard. Her entire life; like most of the other circus animals, was spent in the squaller of their filthy, confined cages. The male sprung from the cage giving a loud roar. He turned to the two strange felines, his blazing eyes showing confusion, "Who are you? And... what's going on...?" he now noticed the wolves that had began to attack and the crowd went wild.

In the next cage, the black panther paced rapidly back and forth, running his head against the dingy pars and panting. Like the other animals, he was quite excited by all that was happening.

One human fell quickly to Dream's jaws, having been taken by surprise. Another one was knocked down by Serena, but had turned a bit so that the wolf got part of her shoulder instead. Screaming insanely, the woman beat at the wolf with her fists and kicked. Three nearby humans ran over, kicking and hitting at the wolf, trying to drive her off. Another four humans headed towards Dream, waving their arms about and trying to drive her away.

Inside the tent, two clowns were busy chasing each other about, one with a cream pie in his hand, and the other with the reminance of an earlier pie on his colorful face. Hearing the screams of their crowd, the two strangely-decorated humans paused in their antics to see what was up. Like a herd of sheep, they and the rest of the humans turned and began to rushing for the exit of the tent... But Ransom caught up with a younger man and was able to bring him down. The man fought back viciously, kick and punching at the wolf. Defiance caught up with the clowns and brought one of them down. The other turned to help his companion. He took the pie and slammed it into the wolf's face, hoping to distract him, or get the cream in the creature's eyes.

Ransom, Defiance ect.....

The two felines hissed at the cats and quickly went to work on other cages. Mirage hearing the question turned to face the brute. I am a snow leopard and my friend is a cougar. Me and my buddies are having some fun messing with the people and maybe some of the animals you see. You could join if you would like, I'm sure you'd get a kick out of it. Smiling she went back to work. This time she headed to where the goats were and sprung over the low fence. Hissing she went for the nearest one. Swating at it with her paws she aimed to knock it off its feet then she would attack with teeth. Meanwhile Jaden went to the black panthers cage and started to try an unlock the cage she spoke to him while she worked. Hello, when I get your cage open would you care to join us in letting the animals free and reaking havoc on this parade? Smiling she continued pawing the latch.

While the cats were at work the two faes were fighting off the humans. Serena snarled and bit at the neck ignoring the kicks and hits. Once or twice she would snap at the feet or hands growling viciously. Dream snarled at the people around her and ignored their shouts and waves. She focused on the person beneath her. Snapping at the neck she tried to close her jaws further. She hoped to cut of the airway and suffacate the person.

Defiance snarled at the second clown as the pie hit his face. Pawing it he wiped some away then went to biting at the clown beneath him. Snarling he snapped at the throat going for a death grip. Ransom mean while was fighting off the mans atacks. He snarled and snapped at the hands. The man caught him a few times but it only made the wolf mader. He began tearing at the mans face and neck. His fangs began trying to rip out his throat and tear up his face.

*Humans & Animals*

The tiger flashed a grin at offered prospect, "Hhhmm... it would be nice to turn the tables." He pointed out before turning to the tigeress, "Come out, Chahaya! They won't catch us this time." The tigeress glanced at the other felines and finally decided to come out. She felt confident in her larger size, anyway, and knew first-hand how frail humans could be. The consiquence for the knowledge, however, was an ear that never stood up. A terrible beating. The two massive animals rushed into the crowd, attacking and clawing at any human they could reach.

The black leopard cocked his sleek, ebony head at Jaden. "I would love too. Anything to be out of here!" He exclaimed, pacing around still until his door creaked open. With a spring, he bolted out and headed for the lion's cage. Clawing and biting feverishly at the closing latch, he finally managed to break it off, releasing the two cats. They had already hear what was told to the panther and tigers, so in short time, they too rushed into the crowd to put up a fight. The panther now turned to the bear's cage and began to work on it.

Serena's victim soon died after the airway and a major blood line were torn into. But she now had many bruises and a broken rib from the vicious kicks and hits of the people around her.

Dream's victim struggled and kicked, trying to free herself. She panicked as less air got into her lungs and her eyes grew bloodshot. Her hands reached up and clutched around the wolf's own throat. But if Dream kept up the attack, the lady would be dead soon. Suddenly, a powerful blow came down on the wolf's hindquarters as a man swung a piece of heavy piping at her. He lifted the weapon and swung down again, aiming for the middle of her back...

The clown's frilly garments could not save him from the wolf's deadly jaws. Fangs quickly pierced his flesh, digging deep until they reached his lifeveins and punctured his windpipe. The man would die shortly. His companion gave a hefty kick to the wolf's stomach though, enough to knock the wind out of him. He brought forward his airhorn, which had been tucked away in one of the many large pockets in his outfit. Putting right to Defiance's head, he blew the deafening horn...

The man's arms and hands were quickly torn up and bloodied. His face also began to collect the wounds. But his neck was safely hidden behind his arms for the time being. Pulling his feet up as much as he could, he thrusted them at Ransom's stomach, trying to throw the wolf off of him...

Ransom and others

The cats went into the crowd and started yowling and biting and scratching at the humans. Jaden hissed and leapt at a man her claws outstretched and fangs bared. Mirage leapt for a woman, hissing. She outstretched her claws and bared her needles.

Serena snarled at the people around her as she dropped the dead person. Limping slightly from the pain of her rib she snarled and bared her now crimson fangs. She spotted a young one and made for it. Even though she was hurt she moved fast. She lunged at the young child growling, if she got him she would start attacking and dragging him away. Dream yelped as the blow on her hind end was recived. She sprung off the woman and away from the second blow. Snarling she ran at the lady again this time from the back. If the woman sat up Dreams jaws would be around the back of her neck and they would probaly snap her neck. If she didn't then Dream would reach over the ladies head to her throat again this time going for the vein.

Defiance yelped slightly as he got the blow in the stomach but held on still. He flinched as the horn was blown in his ear but still bit down harder. Growling at them both he hung on he only needed a little longer before he could kill the clown.

Ransom moved as the man tried to kick him. Snarling viciously he tore at his arms trying to get the man to move them so he could get ahold of his neck. Growling he dived at the arms and tore with his fangs on them. Using his paws he then tried to tear the mans stomach with his claws.

*Humans & Animals*

Two humans were quickly taken down by the feline's lunges. Although both the man and the woman kicked, punched, and screamed with all their might, they were pretty defenceless against the big cats. As Mirage attacked the woman, something very painful struke her side. It was one of the circus people, with a cattle prod! It was one of the 'tools' they used to train their animals. Two more circus people came running out towards the cats...

The young child was easily taken up by Serena. He cried out and struggled, terrified of the deal. The parents of the child came rushing towards the wolf, along with several other people. But suddenly three of the people were bowled over as Guntar, the male tiger, sprung at them. Chahaya was at his side, slashing and roaring, breaking up the crowd enough for Serena to drag the child off. But now there were circus workers come, electric prods in hand to try and control the tigers.

Dream was able to reach the lady again, just as she was getting up. Without realizing what had hit her, a dull crack was heard and she fell limp with a broken neck. But no sooner had the woman died than people surrounded her and the attacking wolf. Several more blows were unleashed at Dream, coming from both fists and feet.

The clown struggled a bit more, but soon he lay still in death, blood collecting beneath his mangled neck. The other clown blew the deafening horn several more times, then kicked at Defiance again with his absurdly large shoe.

The man held out for a while longer, but his arms became too badly damaged to hold up anymore. Ransom finally reached his throat. With a quick bite, the man would be dead... But a shot rang and a burning pain tore through the wolf's front leg. A sheriff, patrolling the events, had rushed in to see what the commotion was all about.

Ransom and others

Mirage jumped at the prod but then lunged back at the woman keeping a wary eye on the man. Hissing the leopard slashed with her claws at the womans throat then unexpectadly jumped at another person. Jaden was occupied with the man and was slashing with sharp claws and biting with her fangs.

Serena quickly grabbed the chid by the neck and procided draging him away from the crowd. She nodded as she passed the tiger thankful for their help. She had a firm grip on his neck and when she was far enough away began to aply strong pressure on his neck.

Dream leaped away coming out with a few bruises from the kicks and puches. Snarling she leapt at another woman from the back ready to snap the lady's neck with a quick bite.

Defiance snarled and yelped as the kick connected, leaping away from the clown for a moment then going into a hunters crouch. Snarling he advanced eyes glaring at the clown. Suddenly he leapt going for the throat. His fangs were ready to sink in and puncture the bloodline.

Ransom yelped as the shot rang out and got into his leg. Glancing at it he snarled at the wound from which some blood was coming out. Watching the sheriff he then delivered the bite to the mans neck hoping it was quick so he could get away from the man with the gun.

Takua

The new wolf stalked up to the commotion. He saw a wolf drag off a young human child he trotted up to her. Hey I think i'll be sharing that fellow with you or I can have him to myself. He growled and waited to see what the fae would do.

Serena

The white she wolf galred at the new male. Growling towards him she bared her fangs. I think I will have him to myself thanks. You can go get your own you mutt. Growling she continued to bite down on the kids neck.

Takua

He growled and and lunged at her hoping that he would knock her down and be able to get to the kid and drag him off for himself. I think I'll be taking him. He knew he would have to move fast or he could be mobbed by her pack.

Serena

She snarled and let the boy go. She put a paw on him then faced Takua. She braced herself and stayed on her paws as the male rammed into her. Having the atvantage of being tall she reached down and tried to bite down on the back of his neck. She gave a few quick barks to her somewhat pack. Jaden the cougar had come to her defence. Seeing the brute she padded up to him smiling. Trying to steal Serena's prize eh? Laughing a bit she then swiped a unsheathed paw at the wolf hoping to rip open his side or at least catch him with her claws.

Takua

He welped in pain as the cougar sliced at his side but luckily it didn't do to much damage. He had dodged Serena's first attack and he slid out from underneath her and turned at the cougar he was already outnumbered. He lunged at the massive cat jaws aiming for the throat hoping to taste blood. So you wish to fight then so be it.

Jaden & Serena

Serena snarled at the kid letting him up before lunging at Takua just a Jaden did. Serenas jaws were open wide as she went for a shoulder hold. The cougress sighed and smiled again. You got yourself in some trouble now wolf. Snarling the feline leapt over the brute hoping to land on his back. Being bigger and stronger she would easily defeat him and with Serena's help it would be easier. If the cougress were to land on the wolf she would probaly bring him to the ground by her force then she would attack with teeth and claws.

Takua

Takua winced as he realized his stupid and definetly painful mistake. The cougar landed on top of him and at the same time the other wolf bit into his shoulder. He turned at the wolf and tried to grab her chest hoping that he would connect his vary life depended on it. You two work well as a team very unfair. He mumbled the words in pain and hoped that he could get out of this alive.

Jaden

They nodded to each other and the feline spoke. We know wolf, life isn't fair so shut up. You know this is your own mistake, you tried to get Serena's prize then I cam eto help. Very foolish of you wolf. Not wasting any more time the cat hissed and began to slash at his back with her claws then lowered to bite at his spine. Serena held onto the shoulder ignoring the bite at her chest. Growling fiercely she batted at his face with a paw. She hoped to catch his nose so he would poll back. The cougar spoke again this time to Serena. Give him all you got girlfriend. She grinned to the cougar the bit down hard.

Twister

The coyote watched from a safe distance as the wolves and cougar went at. He winced when the loner was double wammied. Enough was a enough. He charged at Serena the wolf he had seen early and hoped that is plan that he had formed inside of his head would work. Hey Serena bet that you cant catch me thats why you never ran after me your to slow. He readied himself and grinned this would be fun if it worked.

*Humans & Animals*

The woman fell back, clutching her throat and coughing violently. Crimson blood seeped out steadily from her wound where the claws had caught her. By now the people were already running to their cars, or crowding around to try and subdue the animals. One man was badly mauled by Jaden before the cougar departed.

Two more circus workers reached Mirage. Two electic prods, turned to their highest voltage, were pressed against her back and neck. Another worker beat her over the head with a pipe.

The child, after being let go, scrambled up and headed for a cluster of young trees where he tried to hide, shivering in fear and whimpering.

A gun blast rocked the air, announcing the arrival of another officer. She had fired her weapon into the air as she approached Dream, trying to frighten the wolf away. But as soon as she had a clear shot, without risking harm to other poeple, she'd shoot for the wolf. But Dream had launched her latest attack against a nearby woman. The human wasn't quite so taken aback and was able to defend herself better. When Dream lundged, the woman struck out with both fists, striking the wolf right in the muzzle. Of course, she was thrown to the ground by Dream's force, but for the moment, she was unscathed...

The clown was quicker than his fallen partner. When Defiance lundged, he brought the airhorn up by his throat so that the wolf's jaws closed around the small metal tank of the horn. And if he bit too hard, it'd might blow up from all the condenced air inside...

Ransom's aim was fatal, and the man's defenses worn down. The neck was sufficiently damaged so that the man now lay dying. But as Ransom ran, a second shot rang out and a bullet ripped through his hind leg. It hit nothing vital, but it did damage some muscels, which would leave him terrible sore for the next several days.

Ransom

Mirage yowled as the shockers hit her, she fell to the ground and layed there for a second before getting up and running after Jaden. Dream jumped at the blast and snarled then yelped as she was hit in the muzzle. Getting up she snapped at a leg before hightailing it after Mirage. Defiance let go and snarled this time leaping at the hand the horn was in. If he got it he would lock on and start magling the arm.

Ransom yelped and leaped in the air as a second bullet hit him. He snarled at the officer but then ran to where the cats and Serena and Dream were. Howling for Defiance as he ran he soon reached the felines and the two mynxes. Snarling he went after the kid so that he could bring it back for Serena.

Serena laughed at the coyote and then smiled. Not fast, I can out run you in a heart beat. Na Twister why don't you come to me kitty. Scared kitty kitty, come fight Serena or run as you always do. She moved a little closer to the coyote but stopped and stood waiting for him to come to her.

Jaden hissed and kept mauling slashing at the wolf.

Twister and Takua

Twister charged at Serena and barked he would fight then run. He aimed at her leg fur bristling on the back of his neck. I ain't gonna run off this time Serena. He would run away because he didn't stand a chance this was all a diversion.

Takua grabbed at Jadens paw hoping to rip a few claws out of their sockets. He growled and whimpered the entire pack was fighting him now. He was such an idiot he was brave you could give him that but with bravery came stupidity. He always thought that he could fight and win no matter the odds. Hey coyote thanks for the help but I don't think your gonna be able to take on a wolf little guy. Oh yah Jaden can I call you that? Your kinda hurting me could you move a little to the left. He always tried to talk to his opponents to try and learn thee weak spots or to confuse them. He goped it would work in this dilemma.

*Humans & Animals*

The clown's arms was caught now, so he used his other hand to beat on the wolf's head. Blood began to seep from the other limb as fangs dug deep into his flesh.

The sheriff headed for Defiance now that Ransom had left the tent. He ran quickly towards the wolf, and aimed a shot at him... but he had to get close, so he wouldn't risk shooting the clown as well.

Ransom was able to get a young kid who had gotten separated from her parents during the comotion. She cried and struggled, but was dragged off by the wolf without anyone noticing her.

A few shots rang out in the crowed as the other escaped animals fought. But most of them were now heading for the wild, trying to get away from the melee.

Defiance, Ransom

Snarling Defiance squeezed his jaws together harder. Letting the blood seep into his mouth her licked it up. Hearing the sheriff coming and getting the blows on his head he dropped to the ground. Growling at them both he ran out of the tent and after Ransom.

Ransom had the girl and saw Defi coming. Barking to him to help him he continued dragging the girl to the others. Defi changed course and grabbed the girls other arm and helped drag her. They reached the group and let the girl drop to the ground. Snarling Definace stood over her as Ransom went to talk to the others. Barking loudly to get all their attention he yelled. STOP! Everyone stop people are coming and they have weapons. They already shot me twice we need to take the kid and get out of here. He looked at the felines and the new wolf and to Serena and Dream and the coyote. Jaden, Mirage, Serena and dream stop. Wolf and coyote if you want to come with us fine but be quiet and stop causing trouble. Growling he waited for the others to respond.

Jaden, Serena

Jaden laughed at his statement. Hun, a battle is for hurting people not being polite. Moving her paws swiftly away she put her claws on his nose and then started to rake up. If she succeded then he would probaly be blinded. Mirage circled the two and laughed at the wolf. Jaden, hun can I have a go at him? The cougress nodded and motioned for the leopard to come closer. Mirage did and soon was over him like Jaden. She smiled at Jaden then the cougar got out of her way. Quickly she leapt on top of him and started clawing and biting him.

Serena laughed then dropped low, baring her fangs she launched herself at the coyote. Growling she aimed to bowl him over then she would quickly bite his neck. Grinnng she saw Dream and motioned for her to come nearer. The wolf did and soon she circled to make sure the coyote didn't get away.

*Humans & Animals*

The girl stopped screaming, and was no whimpering quietly but not trying to get away. She was too frightened of all the growling, fighting, and large animals.

The boy was silent now, hiding in the cluster of trees and hoping the others would see him. Scent of fear, from both little humans, was very strong.

The shouts of humans could be heard; they were getting closer...

Ransom, Serena, others

Ransom being the leader dropped the girls arm and let Defi drag her to the others. Running ahead he growled at all of them. Lets get moving guys people are coming. Serena your boy is back in the trees if you wanna get him but hurry. You little coyote can nknock it off and scarm and you brute can come if you want but we are leaving. Like a sheepdog he rounded up his pack thing and snapped at the coyote.

Serena ran to get the boy stalking closer then pounced. Landing beside him she went to grab his arm so she could take him back over there. Starting to drag hijm if she got him she would take him over to Jaden where he would ride her out of here.

Defiance dragged the girl to Mirage and then began to lift her up onto Mirages back with the cats help.

Mirage lowered herself and used a paw to push the girl too. Jaden waited for Serena to get back so she could put the boy on her back.

Dream sttod growling at the wolf but waited for the others to get ready so the could go.

*Kids*

The girl was still whimpering, but she went along with the wolf and cat, not wanting to get hurt and too scared to try and escape. Her little hands clutched at the fur as she held on tightly to Mirage's back, pushing her face down into the soft hide. In someways, it felt a bit comforting.

The boy fought at first, pulling back and screaming in fright when he was pulled out from hiding. But his own struggles hurt the captured arm, so he quickly stopped and followed along after Serena. He looked to the girl and some fear evaporated. At least there was another human here, and she was riding on a cat! As he was led to the cougar, the boy simply climbed onto her back and clung on, like he saw the girl was doing. Oh, how quickly fear could change to curiousity in the little ones!

The sounds of humans grew even closer now... it wouldn't be long before they came up over a small rise and through the trees to spot the collection of animals...

Takua and Twister

Twister dodged Serena's attack and began to slink off. You owe me wolf. You owe me. He trotted off into the woods.

Takua got up and shook his fur he yawned and trotted after the so-called pack. So Jaden you fought pretty well back there just wondering who killed more humans you Serena or Defiance? He watched to see what they would do wondering if he made a good choice to stick with them.

Ransom and Others

Serena growled as he struggled but soon was pleased as he climbed onto Jaden's back. She trotted off to Ransom sure that Jaden would keep the boy with her. We should move humans are coming and if they see us with the children they wil shoot.

Nodding Ransom let up a howl signaling to them to move out. Bounding ahead he ran for the woods growling at anyhting that got in his path.

Mirage purred as the little face was put in her fur. Running after Ransom she made sure the little girl didn't fall off her back. Jaden glanced back at the boy on her own back and then ran after Mirage and Ransom. She made sure that he didn't fall or try to get off. Spitting at things that got in her way she soon had caught up. Ransom where are we going to go? We could find a territory and settle down there. Ransom nodded and kept going.

Dream and Serena brought up the rear making sure nothing came from the back to attack. Defiance circled the group also making sure no one attacked from a side. The soon were almost to the forest and they were all high tailing it.

*Kids*

The girl giggled now as her previous fear evaporated. She hugged tightly to the leopard's back though, not wanting to fall off.

The boy was a bit more wary of the situation, being a year old than the girl. But he too found the ride enjoyable, and soon a grin spread wide over his face.

A few humans had just reached the area where the animals had been. They spotted the group disappearing into the forest and began to run for them, although they had no hopes of catching up. They didn't notice the kids yet, and so two guns were aimed.... but before any shots could be fire, the young asian elephant stormed into view, trampling over one gunman and ramming the second. Their shots went wide, missing Ransom and his group. Now the humans were occupied with a raging elephant, giving the others time to escape.

Ransom

Jaden hissed at the wolf but then smiled. I did fight good didn't I you weren't that bad just stupid. She sped up and so did the rest of the group. They had heard the commotion and didn't stop to look back. Now they were safely in the forest and they kept close together as not to get lost. Defiance and Dream each took a side to patroll wile Serena took the back.

Ransom kept in the front and watched for anybody that would give them trouble. He lead them on the easiest way he could find and soon they were a pretty good distance away from the humans. The journeyed on to a territory that they could claim. None spoke as the went watching for danger and going along on the rough trip.
