    Will You Follow Me?



    The town square bustled with activity. A harvest festival was going on. The people had had good crops this year. Yet it was no time to rejoice if you knew the ways of the world.


    It was a dangerous place. A place that exiled many who rebelled against the corrupted government. Oh and that's just what I'm planning to do. Well I've already been exiled once, but that couldn't keep me out. No it didn't. That's for sure. Now it's time to return and set things right.


    A hood figure moved swiftly into the crowd not really caring if people were shoved about. They pushed their way to the middle and stood on the well in the center of the square. Eyes quickly turned to the mysterious hooded figure whose face wasn't visible. In a low voice four words rang out through the now quiet streets. "Will you follow me?"



    I surveyed the people looking up at me. They all looked terrified. Ha! and yet I couldn't blame them. A strange cloaked man walking in then asking a very generic question. Well what could I say? I can't fight this on my own. I need them. I need them to follow me. I need soldiers. Well I couldn't expect too much. Best not to get my hopes to high. Maybe a few would though. I needed answers quick though. Government soldiers would be coming once they heard of a strange man rousing trouble. They wouldn't banish me this time. Oh no. This time they'd kill me.

    A voice spoke up. It was a female, not a male, and she spoke clearly, her head hung low but her posture straight and rigid.
    "I'll follow you," she said, smiling under the shadows of the hood.
    The people looked at her, but she paid no mind. She had already heard the government soldiers coming. She had committed a crime not hours earlier, but it didn't matter. They wouldn't find her.
    Her black outfit absorbed the severe sunlight as she walked swiftly towards the well. She grinned, sharp teeth sticking out over her other canines (like an anime smile!)

    Her Smile (the person isn't her)


    Repeating herself again, the figure said, "I will follow."

    A tight smile played on my lips. A soldier. There. Good. Keeping my voice steady and low I said, "One has chosen the correct path. Who will join this girl?" She seemed young. That wasn't a bad thing. After all I was rather young myself. Most people think me you get though. I'm short though I do hate to admit it. I'm glad I'm standing somewhere higher. Then people won't notice my height as much. I don't think people follow a short leader who they think incompetent. Though short doesnt mean incompetent. I make a great leader. Well I hope I do.

    (That...was so confusing. XD)


    The girl growled. "He's coming, wait for him."


    A boy stumbled over the sidewalk, running from the government's soldiers. "Jeez!" he shouted, jumping over a car. He ran two steps and then flipped forwards, landing nimbly. Another car was close. He slid on his stomach under it.
    The soldiers ran to the car. They weren't as stupid as the movies depicted. "Come out!" one shouted, dressed in different clothes than the others. "Come on, stupid boy! Before you get hauled off to your death!"
    A strange sound, like a strangled birdcall, was heard from beneath the car. The different-looking soldier grasped what seemed like a hand. But it was leathery.
    A forked tongue flicked out from the shadows. It was a komodo dragon. "Ssss..." it said, crawling slowly at first towards the soldiers. It then bit the leader with its poisonous mouth and injected venom into his leg. Then, it retreated back into the comfortable shadows of the car.


    The boy crawled back out, looking mangled. He was dirty, and brushed a couple of scales from his black hoodie. He was dressed the same as the girl, but the hood was down. He didn't need to hide his identity any more. Making his way towards the well, he repeated after the girl: "I'll follow." It was soft but rang out clear as a church bell.

    OOC sorry I'm a confusing person. I often ramble on so look out for that.



    I gave a curt nod to him. Two followers. Not bad for my first stop. I had a smile on my face now if you could see it or not didn't matter to me. I couldn't show my face yet. I would remain a mystery man a while longer at least until I knew I would be safe and well away from an government spies. Then maybe I would show my face. Eh... That was still a maybe. Maintaining a steady voice I issued one last call. "Is this all? One last chance to follow for I'm leaving this town."

    The girl touched the boy on the shoulder softly. "Brother."
    She remembered how they had lived a comfy life, but that little squealer, Sam...
    She didn't want to think about him now. They would get back at him later for what he did to them.


    "Sis...will we?" the guy asked. His name would be later revealed to be Quinn. He asked that question as if reading her mind, which he could do, as well as being a shapeshifter into things he had touched or seen.

    Taking one last glance around at the mainly terrified people who had started to back away I spotted soldier coming. "We best be out of here," I growled. "One last chance to come with me," I called before leaping down from the well. "Come. We are going." I started off into the crowd weaving my way through the throng of people. I guess being small helps sometimes.

    The girl ducked and slammed into her brother. He knew what would happen and disappeared instantaneously. There was a black crow instead of a girl. It flew up in the air and melted with the shadows of the buildings. On the feathers of the crow's head there was a louse. That was the boy. The crow was the girl. She flew, following the hooded guy, while purposely dumping "stuff" on the soldiers' heads.

    Chancing a quick glance up I caught sight of the bird. Shapeshifters. Handy. I couldn't help a small laugh from coming forth. I continued though roughly shoving people. I don't care to much of whom I push around. Suddenly I broke free of the crowd. Open space. Quickly changing my walk into a quick paced jog. They could see me from above. They would not loose track of my position. They would find their way to my hide out. I began to run between buildings in a deliberately confusing way to just be sure anyone following would be lost.

    "Then come along," I said I said keeping my gaze downward and my face hidden. "We need to get out of here." The soldiers would be catching up soon enough if we didn't hurry and I wanted to get back to the hide out as soon as possible. It was safe there. In the open no where was safe enought for my liking.

    ( Sorry for correcting this. Okay...The boy, Quinn, he's a shapeshifter. His sister, though, is a Skin Walker. She can only shapeshift into animals, and doesn't matter which; Quinn can shapeshift into anything he touches or sees, like a human or even inanimate objects [which come in handy].)


    The crow dove into the buildings, morphing into a speedier bird of prey. She chose a hummingbird because they could be seen, but they were quick in short bursts. So, simply, she'd go forward really quickly continuously, or go for a couple yards, stop and look for the boy, then start going again.

    I continued weaving between houses before reaching a wall. Using powers of my own I pressed my hands to the wall and hole appeared through it. I ran through waited for my follower to also make it through, then pressed my hands once more to the wall and it solidified once more. A bit more tired I slowed my pace a Bit. We were safer outside the town though so it didn't matter too much. They would have no idea where we went.

    Quinn changed into a hawk quickly, not missing a beat, and dove right towards the building the boy had gone into. He hopped and then transformed into a human, with his sister right behind. She was more cautious about revealing her identity, as her hood was still over her face. They both entered easily.

    "Welcome to your new home," I said letting my voice return to its normal pitch not the low speaking voice I use. "It's safe here. No one can get in. I've made sure of that." I gave a short laugh. I had some pretty good tricks if anyone dared to try and enter. "Make yourselves comfortable. I'll go get some tea. It's best to talk with a drink in your hand eh?" Ahh. It felt good to be more like my normal self. I was to nervous out in public. Here I could just relax.

    "Hm. I..uh..don't drink tea. I...drink wine." It was the girl. She had spoken with such clarity and loudness out in the open, but she was too shy here. She let her brother talk for her.
    "Yeah...well, get her whatever is easy for you to get. She can hunt for her own self later." Quinn hoped that he explained enough (which he probably didn't) that his sister was a sole carnivore, and didn't eat any vegetables unless she was forced to or she was being polite.

    "Ok fine by me!" I said heading into a different room through a doorway. "Just want to have you pleased while we have our talk. Feel free to have a look around the house." I paused. "Oh but don't go in the room farthest down the hall. That's my room." I walked about the kitchen of the house. It was rather nice. I had picked one of the better houses to use as a base. I figured I would need the room if I got people to join me. I did get a few so far. I hurried and got out a tea pot and started hearing water then went and got out a wine glass.
