Ehran walked through the dark empty streets, looking for a safe place for the flock to stay the night. He decided to go alone, to think things through. I wonder what happened to her... Ehran thought. He had been in a melancholy mood ever since Mirla disappeared. She and her brother must have left... but wouldn't she tell me? he wondered in his head.
He gritted his teeth and clenched his teeth. "Focus you idiot." he ordered himself, his sadness gradually swelling into anger. He started walking a little faster, his feet pounding the sidewalk. He suddenly stopped. That wasn't his feet making that sound, it was... music?
Ehran ran toward the sound, eventually coming to the side door of an abandoned warehouse. He flipped his jacket's hood up to cover his feline ears, and managed to hide his tail in the jacket too, though it was uncomfortable.
He stepped inside cautiously, and his eyes widened at the site. Inside, the lights were off, but colored laser and strobe lights lit the room/ On the far end of the building was a DJ spinning recored, the oversize speakers pumping out techno music and shaking the foundation. And there were tons of people there, most of them were dancing, and a few were on the side talking and drinking energy drinks. Ehran noticed a few people in the corners dazed and drooling a little, and wondered what had happened with them.
"Oh hi! I don't think I've met you before!" Ehan turned to the voice, and saw a girl with brightly colored clothes, crazy hair and a ton of bracelets on her arms that looked like they were for a two year-old. The girl was gnawing on a lollipop, and staring at him with eyes that were surrounded in florescent eye shadow.
"Um no I'm new." Ehran said, wondering why this girl was dressed weird. He noticed a few more people dressed like her in the dancing crowd. Mostly they were girls, and they were laughing and acting crazy.
"Oh I see, is this your first rave party?" the girl asked, she chomped down the last of her suck and threw the stick over her shoulder. "Well, I'm Bonnie. This is a rave. Pretty much is just a really awesome dance." she said, grinning the whole time. She took Ehran's arm and led him around the edge of the building, on the fringes of the crowd.
"It's really fun, although some creeps come to these shindigs to sell drugs and get high, like those E-tards over there" Bonnie pointed over towards the drooling people in the corner. "Oh by the way, whats your name?" She suddenly asked, stopping and spinning around to face Ehran.
"Oh, I'm.. uh Ehran." he said, a bit embarrassed.
Bonnie giggled, and took Ehran's hand, lacing her fingers through his. "Well, since its your first party, I'll give you some kandi." She took one of her weird bracelets and slid it over her hand onto his, keeping their fingers locked. He looked down at it, it had beads that spelled 'PLURR' on it, and every other bead was a white pony bead, and a lime green flower shaped bead.
Bonnie smiled and released Ehran's hand, and moved her way into thecrowd that was dancing in time with the beat. Thats when Ehran saw her.

She just had to follow the whitecoats orders. Even if it means going to a very social place where blaring lights and loud music are about. It's not doing well for her cat-sensitive ears. The thing is, the whitecoats have speculated the possible places that any of the young bird kids could have gone to. One of which was this "rave" that's been scheduled for tonight. She was provided with the appropriate clothing that suits for a "raver" and for her style. Much to her displeasure, she was also given brightly colored streaks on her hair and purple and red eyeshadow. Her studded belt, bracelets and rings were designed to glow in the dark. Yeah, the typical raver. She stood on the corner scanning her eyes throughout the entire warehouse, looking for a face that matched the ones she received on her files. "Meow. Hey kitty kitty."She turned around from where she picked up the voice. A gruff-looking boy about 19 with a worn down jacket over a wife-beater, ripped jeans, and an obviously stolen crisp white DC shoes stood behind her. Next to him were two friends of his. Also wearing similar clothing and at least one stolen item with them. She mentally scowled, knowing their intentions, and questioned herself why the whitecoats ordered her to wear a very mini skirt with her ears and tail exposed (though she has her hood covering the ears as her choice). Pervs. "So what's a fine feline doin' at this joint?" the guy smugly asked, trailing his eyes from her head to toe. It disgusted her. She turned her head away, not answering his question. "Not much of a talker, eh?" he grinned as he glanced his two lackeys as a signal. The two grabbed the girl by her two arms and shoved her onto the wall behind her. The leader's face was just inches away from hers. "That's good. Don't want anyone looking in our way if we make loud noise."Right when he barely touched the bottom hem of the plaid skirt, Reika kicked at his knees and where the sun don't shine before getting her arms easily free from the other two guys. She ran off into the sea of brightly colored people and lights. She could faintly hear the leader yelling at his two lackeys to get her. Just when she was about to completely be out of their sight, a firm hand grabbed hers. She turned around ready to shove him away, but one look at his face became instantly recognizable. (ooc - sorry to make you wait so long, Ehran. but at least it's done! XD)

ooc- lol its ok Ehran quickly grabbed the girl's hand. "This way, quick!" he ordered, and started weaving through the crowd, and stopped in front of the DJ's booth. He turned back and scanned the crowd, then saw the three thugs making their way through the throngs of glowing dancers. He turned back to the girl, "Stay here." he told her, then turned back around and went after the guys without waiting for her response. When he got to the first guy, he stealthily moved behind his back, then sharply elbowed him in the neck, making him crumble to the floor. The few people around them moved away but otherwise didn't notice. Making his way to the second lackey, Ehran grabbed his forearm and sharply jerked it around, pinning it behind his back. "It's not nice to pick on girls, especially ones you don' know." he hissed in the guy's ear, then pun around and threw him into the closest person, creating a small domino effect of people falling. Ehran scanned the crowd for the dude with the white sneakers, and saw him making his way to the DJ. Ehran pushed his way through the crowd, ignoring the loud complaints and dodging glow sticks. The guy saw him, and turned, throwing a punch at Ehran's face. He jerked to the side, the hair sticking out of his hood ruffling as the jerks fist flew past. Ehran quickly grabbed the guy's wrist and upper arm, flinging him over onto his back. The guy clumsily got back up to his feet, and grabbed a fist full of Ehran's jacket, throwing another punch. This time it hit, and the former Eraser flew back, his hood falling back and exposing his feline ears. He hurriedly got up, his tail flicking in aggravation. "What kind of freak are you?" the thug asked, a nasty sneer splitting his face. "The dangerous kind." Ehran said in a chilling voice, the whipped his fist out and back-handed the guy, and spun giving him a swift kick to the chest. The thug fell back, hitting the DJ's booth, and then crumpling to the floor.

Reika got out of the way as the leader was being thrown right in front of the DJ's booth. She saw the cat ears and tail as soon as the boy's hood was down and his tail was exposed from the jacket.
"So that's him, alright." she concluded about Ehran.
It was a surprise and change that someone else decided to help her with a situation like this. Usually, she just had to do these things herself and can without any problem whatsoever. Her duty right now is to capture these fugitives so being a bit of a damsel in distress in this situation is a good call to be in....Now she understood the pervs' whitecoats' intentions of the purpose of her outfit.
Reika walked up to Ehran, ignoring the stares the both of them are receiving from the DJ and a few batch of people. The music and lights are still going on so there. She never was planning to say anything to him. Not even a thank you. She figured that he would get the message.

"Are you alright?" Ehran asked, feeling tense and jittery as he noticed the crowd staring at them. He flipped his hood back up and curled his tail back into his jacket. He grabbed the girl's hand and started heading outside. "I think we need to talk." he muttered, keeping his head down.
When they got outside, Ehran released the girl's hand and turned to face her, crossing his arms over his chest. "Ok, talk. Who are you, who made you, and what are you doing here?" he asked, the tension in his voice making it sound like an order.
Ehran was very tense, and he impatiently drummed his fingers on his arm. His eyes kept darting around, his ears twitching beneath his hood and his tail twitching down by his leg.

Just as when she was confronted by the thugs, she looked away from Ehran. Not bothering to answer his question. Reika hadn't had any actual interaction with someone her age but she refused to speak to someone now especially to him.
Her tail was freely dangling between her legs while her ears are now clearly exposed without the hood. Thinking nothing but a blank space to pass the time. After a few painstaking seconds, she instinctly landed a hard punch on Ehran's stomach and grabbed his arm in order to break it.

Ehran gasped as the air left his body with a whoosh. He quickly jerked his arm back whenn he felt the bone crack, but it felt like it hadn't broke all the way yet.
"Well, I guess that answers two of those questions." Ehran remarked, taking a few more steps back. He did a fast spin kick to the girl's chest, knocking her back to the ground. Ehran quickly pounced on her and held her down, her wrists held down by her head. "Tell me who you are, and I might let you live!" he hissed, his ears flattening down. Well this gives a new meaning to the phrase 'cat fight' he mused.

Reika glared intently when Ehran got her onto the ground, baring her fangs but keeping her mouth shut. She lengthened her round blunt fingernails into sharp and pointy ones and dugged them onto his hands. She kicked his stomach to get free and used her long nails to strike his face.

Ehran jumped back, gritting his teeth. He wiped the blood off his face with his jacket sleeve. "Jeez, this was a new jacket." he griped. He shrugged it off and tossed it aside, revealing the plain black shirt he had on underneath. He glared at the other feline-hybrid, slowly walking around her. "You know, you don't have to be their little puppet. I certainly got tired of it." he said nonchalantly, flipping the hair out of his eyes. ooc sry, my brain totally died

Puppet? Her eyes followed as Ehran was circling around her, waiting for Reika's next move. She slipped passed him and elbowed at his back. She then took off her jacket and wrapped it around Ehran, making a very tight knot.
(ooc- yeah, it's usually the case with me a few posts after my first lol also, it's kind of hard to have a charrie that's almost mute while you're basically the opposite online >>)

Post by ehran on Dec 14, 2008 20:19:56 GMT -5
ooc- oh, i was wondering why your charrie wouldn't say anything XD
Ehran squirmed, trying to get free of the knot. He spun and kicked the Eraser away, then fell back. He squirmed some more, and finally got free. He held the jacket up, and grinned. "An eye for an eye." he sneered, then ripped large slits in the jacket, and tossed it aside like a pile of ribbons, which it pretty much was now.
He leaned his head forward, is hair falling over his eyes. He quickly lunged towards Reika, dodging behind her and pinning both arms behind her back. He jerked her around and pushed her against the tree, "Why does everything have to come to this? I'm so tired of fighting." he whispered in her furry cat ear, his twitching.

Reika kept a steady breathing, ignoring the pain when she was slammed onto the tree. Ehran told her he was tired of fighting. She stayed still thinking about it, not quite knowing whether this is how it feels like to really interact with someone or....something else.
Once again, she refused to answer as she bit her lip.
(ooc - she can talk.....but she grew up keeping quiet at all times and never had an actual conversation with anyone even with the whitecoats so she hardly has any idea on what to say outside of her mind)

ooc- oh, ok
Ehran held her there for a moment longer, then stepped back, releasing her arms. "I can guess- no, I know what you've been through at the School." he said grudgingly. "Actually, I was the first feline-hybrid, so I've been through worse."
Ehran clenched his fists, trying to clock out his painful first memories.
ooc- eh, real sry, i guess my brain got overworked and fried XD

Been through worse... Reika was puzzled by it. From reading his profile, he was supposed to be an Eraser just like she still is. And as an Eraser, they certainly had a better treatment than bird kids. Even if it is the first feline. But.... Reika was a special case. She had a luxury treatment that no other Eraser had, and that's all because of that "bloodthirsty state." So she wouldn't know at all what exactly Ehran in particular had gone through.
Reika shook her head as her reply.

"Well, I have to go, my friends are waiting for me." Ehran said. He turned and started walking away, then turned back to the cat girl. "A word of advice, don't let them control you."

Reika rose her eyebrow. As he started to walk away, she had the instinct again to take him down and get him to the headquarters as instructed. But as she took a step forward, the word Ehran just said completely sank into her. Control? The thought never crossed her mind all her life. What does he mean....
"Wait."
Her eyes widened in shock from her action. She never even intended to do that, much less in a very soft and quiet voice. Her face became warm while the rest of her body's still shivering without her jacket as she slowly walked up to Ehran, still not aware herself of what's she's doing or planning.

Ehran stopped mid-step when he heard the girl's soft voice, and slowly turned to face her. Now that he wasn't fighting for his life, he looked her over. She was really pretty, and she also looked cold. He went over and picked up his bloody jacket, shook some of the leaves and twigs off of it, and walked back over to her.
"If you want to see the other kind of life you could have, you should join me and my friends." Ehran said, handing her his jacket. He stepped back and held his hand out to her, an invitation.

Reika gazed at the jacket being offered to her. The cold near winter wind brushed past all so suddenly, even the palms of her hands were cold. Her hands always seemed to be the coldest especially during cold weather. Wearing a mini skirt and tanktop adds to the environment even worse especially when she's so used to wearing fuzzy coats and warm pants and boots in this type of weather. She attempted to kept her face straight while her body was clearly shivering violently.

Ehran sighed, She's so stubborn. he mused in thought. He opened the jacket, and moving slowly, went forward and wrapped it around the girl's shivering body.
He wrapped his arm around her shoulders, and began leading her back to the flock, "If you promise not to kill us, I'm positive the rest of the guys will accept you," Ehran said, then turned ad winked at her. "Lets just not mention our little fight, 'kay?"
Ehran kept walking, then heard a grumbling sound. "Oh sorry. You hungry? Let's grab a bite to eat." Ehran said, looking around for a restaurant. He saw a McDonalds and started heading that way, then stopped and turned back to Reika. "Don't try to do anything in here ok? It'll start a whole riot and end badly, can you promise me you won't do anything?" he asked, keeping a steady gaze.

Reika made a silent sigh as she mentally promised not to start a riot. After all, she was taught that it's ever wise to bring attention from civillians. A couple curious eyes are fine, but it's a problem if their's more. The less people know and see, the better.
She followed Ehran in this place full of many people. From her vision, she could see adults, teenagers, little children making weird noises with those novelty items every one of them seem to have, all human. She has heard of these kinds of places due to television and the internet, but it's a completely different world from the food she was given (all made by high-classed chefs and whatnot). And that's the world Ehran lives in.
