Fresh Air

It had been another typical day for Sonya Lambert - typical, and quite frankly, boring as ever. So she was to say the least surprised when she awoke with a start near midnight in their little getaway van, a chill running down her spine with the hair on the back of her neck standing on end, and terrible urge to just move. The next thing she noticed was that the door leading outside had been left ajar. "Who the hell -" Her voice was cut off as she realized she was alone in the vehicle; it wasn't unusual for her grandmother to disappear for hours on end ranting on about some 'great change', but her brother? The weren't supposed to wander off alone, especially when their pictures were plastered across over the late night news over 'Deranged Grandma kidnaps grandchildren, still alludes authorities'. Spotting a note taped to the wall, Sonya moved to read it, ripping it off.

Out for a walk, restless. - David

"Dumbass, you're gonna get yourself caught." She grumbled, crushing the paper and tossing it aside. Feeling far too antsy to just sit around waiting, Sonya slipped outside, slamming the door shut and took off running without a moments hesitation. Breathing in the fresh air of the early hours, she felt more alive then ever - must've been cooped in the car for far too long. Shortly afterwords she reached the Johnson Business Park, one of the siblings favorite places to loiter around when few people were around; hopefully her brother had come here. The full moon bathed the place in silver light, and it almost felt as though the more she walked in it, the more her skin seemed to crawl.

Narration:

The park is mostly empty; only a few people are out walking. The moon calls to Sonya, filling her with a lust for blood. Her form gains considerable mass, and looking around, she sees only prey, terrified, fleeing from the hunter in their midst.

Moon is full.

Sonya trembled as the urge clouded her thoughts, forgetting her original goals for coming here. Suddenly furious at these few people who were looking at her wrong, Sonya charged towards her nearest target to give chase, ready to tear that look of horror right off of their face.

Initiative?

The Chase

**roadnottaken** · Oct 2nd, 2009 08:05 PM

Sonya easily catches up to a middle-aged woman and begins mauling her. The woman soon collapses, but a shift of the breeze brings a new scent. That of another hunter. Before she can react, however, she hears a gunshot and almost instantly feels pain like she's never experienced. As if someone had jammed a red hot poker into her side and stirred it.

Looking up, she catches a glimpse of the shooter, a man with the build of a hockey player, watching her reaction. Sonya senses, instinctually, that he is the true predator, and she the prey.

Watching the woman fall sent a wave of euphoria through Sonya, but her hunger for violence was not yet sated. But before she could attack any further, a wretched pain seemingly worse then anything she had felt before dug deep into her side. Out of both pain and rage, Sonya let loose an ear-splitting howl, glaring at the offender. "Fuck you bitch!" She bellowed out, or at least the noises that came out of her mouth resembled these words. Now thoroughly pissed, Sonya began to run the quickest route that would take her up to him, not realizing the mistake she was likely making.

The man smiles as Sonya charges him -- then suddenly in his place is a giant wolf. He tackles her, barely managing to gain a hold.

Can't Break Free

Taken off guard at the change from man to giant wolf, Sonya snarls in frustration as he effectively pinned her down, and despite her efforts she was unable to turn the tables. With the rage still burning inside her, Sonya could only roar in protest while she was restrained.

Adam is walking on 16th street, near the house with their locus. "I should really get into the papers and see how to pay the bills, or we will loose that house pretty quick!" But job was flourishing, he had a few contracts of surveillance, and he didn't have quite the time...

Suddenly, he hears the echo of a loud gunshot, followed by a howling. A First Change Howling. And it sounded quite near. Adam starts running toward the sound, somewhere along the river. With one hand, he grabs his cellphone and try to join his packmates; no one answers, he just leaves them the message: "A first change happens, near the river shore, join me there As Freaking Soon as you can!" That being done, he slips the cellphone in his large cargo pockets and shift to Urhan form, to run faster, but ruinning yet another shirt in the process. "The moon is full. It will be a Rahu. So much fun! Gotta be very careful..."

Soon he gets to the river shore, but does not see anything nor anyone. Though he can hear the echo of some grunts coming from the other side of the river. "Damn. Our territory ends at the river, no clue what's on the other side. Bah, let's go, it's a first change, after all" he thinks, remembering how Shadow Tongue reacted when they all entered his territory on Wall Scratcher first change. And so he engages the bridge...

The Wolf within BloodiedClaws cocks its head hearing a gunshot, and then the howl... That is the howl of a first change, a bitch Rahu from the tone, I must go to aid her... He tears off down the street, shifting into the Urshul form, no point in hiding, if she was already tearing shit up.

He charges as fast as he can run, until he comes upon the scene. He waits a moment to react, staring at the Urshul, gauging its weaknesses, or where it favors itself, so the inner wolf instinct knows where to strike first. He breaths hard, holding himself back, the urshul form's hackles rising, as he makes ready to come for the anshega once he can pinpoint a weakspot.

down we go

The giant wolf shifts his weight, bearing Sonya down to the ground and dropping with her.

Anshega (Urshul, grappled, prone) 16 | Sonya (Gauru, grappled, prone) 11

Per pm clarification, BC only shifts as he nears the area. I need initiative rolls from BC and Adam; they can act the turn after next.
