    Lit got the sleep
    ---
    That same voice from before haunted Parker for hours, and when he tried to sleep that night, it just got stronger. Staring at the wall with tired, grumpy eyes he groaned quietly and sat up, rubbing his temples. His sister, Harper, sat up as well and looked his way, clearly tired. "They voice is still there," he sighed, causing Harper to groan quietly and lay back down, staring at him. "I told you Parker, it's probably just an animal-..." An angry hiss from said twin interrupted her words. "It's not an animal, Harper!" He snapped, narrowing his eyes at the girl. She fell silent, not wanting to argue with him. "...I'm going to check it out..." he sighed after a few moments of angry silence, and kicking his legs over the side of his bed, he stood. Judging by the shuffling noises and soft thud from his sister's side of the room, she stood up as well. "Mother and Fathee told us not to leave after dark," she warned, but still continued to follow him anyway. He was wearing a pair of loose-fitting sweats and a tank top, while she wore a simple, white, and thin nightgown. It wasn't cold at night here, so they'd be fine.
    ---
    Harper had heard the noise too, but wouldn't admit it to her brother. She still decided to follow him, though: out of worry and out of curiosity. She also wanted to find the source of the noise.


    Walking through the jungle was hard enough, but without shoes it was a nightmare. She'd step on twigs, prickly vines, bushes, bugs...everything! Rubbing her sore feet between her hands, Harper hissed lowly and glanced up at Parker, who was still moving. Grunting, the girl reluctantly got up and followed him: the occasional hiss of pain would escape her lips along the way.


    Then, they saw it. Well, them


    Two statues stood tall among the trees: the plants around them were burnt to a crisp, so the vines didn't have a chance to crunch them. Staring at the statues with awe, Parker approached the horned one while she approached the one with a large, bony crest. Staring at it for a good few moments, Harper hesitantly reached up, her fingertips brushing up against its leg.


    Then, suddenly, it grabbed her!


    Before she could react, the stone beast bit down on her arm, and the girl fell unconscious. She didn't know this, but the same thing happened to her brother.
    ---
    When she woke up, Harper felt different, somehow. A low, tired hiss escaped her lips as she stretched, lowering her head and sticking her rump up in the air. When she heard the satisflying pops of her spine, she stood back up with a sigh, shaking out her hair.


    Her purple hair.


    Harper froze, and slowly sat down on her haunches, raising her arms into view.


    They were blue! She had paws!


    Screaming out in alarm, the feline dragon reared up in alarm and fell backwards, writhing around on the ground. Her wings unfurled at beat frantically, and when the beast finally calmed her nerves, she flipped over and stood on shaky legs. What happened to her? She would've gotten up to investigate, but there were more important matters to tend to.


    Parker was missing!

    Lilian stepped back. She was in utter shock. Did it just bit her? "That shouldn't be possible," Lilian said, rubbing her injured arm and started to walk backwards. "It can't bite me it's just a statue. Maybe it was unstable and the jaw just went down-." She was cut off when she tripped and fell into the river below.

    [center][fancypost=backgground-color: none; border: none; width: 425px; text-align: justify; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt]Harper decided to see how well her new wings worked: she was both curious and wanted to find her brother. So, hesitantly, she spread her wings and shifted around. Due to her large size and weight she highly doubted beating her wings alone would give her enough lift, so bunching her muscles, the catlike dragon leapt into the air. Another screech escaped her maw as she frantically flapped her wings, wobbling in the air as she tried to maintain lift. Harper managed to stay up in the air, and after a few moments steadied herself. Staring at the ground beneath her, the dragoness swallowed, starting to climb higher and higher into the air. She could smell the faint scent of burning plants, and hissing lowly, she noticed a trail of black leading deeper into the woods.


    If her brother had transformed as well, that trail would probably lead to him. It would probably lead to him anyway, even if he morphed or not. Growling lowly, Harper followed the trail, her wingbeats causing the leaves on the trees to tremble. She didn't want to rise too high, since she was afraid she might not be able to get down. So, she settled for hovering above the trees instead.


    When she tried to call out for Parker, her voice didn't come out. Instead, she emitted a series of snarls, which surprised her. She couldn't speak? Maybe it was a side-effect of the the transformation: she hoped she'd regain her ability to speak later on. An exasperated hiss escaped her scaly lips as she sharply inhaled, sampling the air. Her sense of smell was much stronger now, and now that she thought about it, all of her senses were enhanced. The wind whistled in her ears and tickled her whiskers, causing her to blink occasionally. They must be attached to the nerves of her eyes. She decided to experiment with her new form later on: right now she needed to find Parker.


    ((She'll find him next post))

    Got it. Just to warn you I might wait for TheNerd a bit so they don't come back to a million posts and get confused.


    Lilian tried to swim up to the surface, but the damage to her arm was so great and painful, that it prevented her from swimming. All she could do was look up at the great, big, full moon. I'm going to die here. This is how I die. She thought, and closed her eyes.


    But then, something extraordinary happened. She could breathe. Underwater. Lilian couldn't believe what was happening. Then again, she did get bitten by a statue. But now, she didn't feel well. Something wasn't happening to her.


    Her skin became craggier, until scales started covering her body. Her fingers and toes became webbed, her nails became claws. A thick tail burst from behind her. Her body and face stretched as her teeth sharpen into fangs. Finally, wings burst from her shoulder blades, as Lilian started to swim up to the surface. In fact, she started swimming in the air. SHE WAS FLYING! Normally, Lilian would panic, question everything. But, for some weird reason, she felt happy. She flew to the shore and perched herself on a nearby rock, looking at the full moon. She wanted to thank the moon for saving her from drowning. She threw her head back and made a noise that seemed like a mix between a growl, a roar, and a howl.


    By the way, any of the other weredragons can hear it and growl/roar/howl as well if you want. ;)

    [center][fancypost=backgground-color: none; border: none; width: 425px; text-align: justify; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt]I tried to be clever and mix all those words together but I just came up with growl (Ex. Growl, Roar, and Howl: Growl). I'll wait for Nerd to reply, then.

    Harper was starting to grow frustrated: how far did Parker travel? Dread began to bubble up in her stomach, and flames started to lick at her open maw. Normally, she'd be startled if burning flames sparked to life inside of her throat, but at the moment she was far too focused on finding her brother to think about this minor detail. Hissing lowly, she shook out her mane, causing some bright red powder to rain down from her hair. This caught her attention. Glancing down at the faint red dust, Harper closed her jaws. Big mistake. Her teeth clicked together and sparked, igniting the dust. The explosion wasn't loud or large, but it was enough to knock her higher into the air. A startled scream escaped her jaws as she wobbled around again, hovering high up in the air.


    She would not be doing that again.


    Shaking her head to rid herself of the dizziness, Harper snarled lowly, then resumed following the trail of charred earth. In the distance, she could see a faint, pulsing light. That must be him! Her pace quickened up.
    ---


    If you look up 'Teostra', you'll see what some of their abilities are.

    //Argh, sorry! I had band practice after school!


    Josh stared at the seemingly vast lake. He would have to get in and out as quick as possible as to not get hypothermia. Josh took a deep breath and dove in. The cold smacked his body and it felt like millions of needles pierced his body, but he kept swimming. About halfway to the other side Josh spotted something. It was a white glowing light. He knew he would run out of breath soon, but it just drew him in like nothing he had ever felt before. The teen dived deeper and deeper until he could see it. A dragon statue that had two glowing white eyes. He reached out a hand to it but as soon as he did the hand grabbed him. All of his normal senses kicked back in, and he started shaking a screaming, trying to get back to the surface. Nothing worked. His screams seemed to cease and his struggling slowed. Water had filled his lungs and he slowly fell unconscious.



    Cold. Cold was something that he felt now. It wasn't freezing like the lake water, just cool. Like a soft breeze on a summers day that kept you just cool enough. He slowly struggled up. Josh looked down at his hands to see scales forming on them. He let out a scream and rolled over in fear, but it only got worse. A feeling almost like growing an extra pair of arms made it's way to his back, and it felt like a part of his head was being stretched to form horns. His body was forming to standing on four legs instead of two and claws took the place of his nails. After several minutes of sitting there, waiting for the pain to subside fully, Josh tried to comprehend what happened. His brain was going to any of many possibilities but some sort of instinct told him to stay calm, and this was okay. He stood up. His legs wobbled a little but after a moment he steadied himself. The were dragon let out a sort of chuff you would hear from a tiger. He looked around before soaring into the sky. His wings felt natural, like a part of him that was supposed to be there but never was. Letting out a sigh Josh dove down and glided above the water. It turned into a thick ice once he flew just enough above it. He then stopped flying. He was standing on a small patch of ice that soon became a large patch. He began running and the ice formed in front of him so he didn't fall in the water. The moonlight felt like a spotlight and it made the ice sparkle beautifully.

    Lilian jumped off of the rock and started panting. She needed to run. She got on her legs. All four of them and started racing through the forest. She wasn't very athletic, but this was the fastest she had ever ran in her entire life. She closed her eyes and felt the wind in her face. It was nice. She stopped when she saw a big, glowing light. It was the light from porch lanterns at a nearby ranch. She looked over and saw some cows, grazing in the pasture. Normally she would question why she was bigger than the cows, but instead a new, feral instinct took over her. She had the urge to eat it.


    Nah it's cool.

    ---
    When Harper got closer to the pulsing light, she could see movement near its source. Narrowing her eyes, her breath hitched. A red, winged beast hovered in the air a few feet away from her, and a swirling stream of flames escaped their lips and charred the ground below. The jungle was in flames! A surprised snort escaped her nostrils as she quickened her pace, and when she was within a few feet of the scaly beast, it noticed her. A surprised scream escaped her maw as the red creature tackled her to the ground, pinning her there. Struggling under their grip, Harper realized their strength outdid her own, and hissing quietly she fell still. The beast above didn't make any aggressive movements: their chest simply heaved with each breath, and she could feel the heat radiating off of their body. Her ears flicked, and narrowing her eyes, she curled her lip in a snarl. What were they planning?


    Then, the beast lowered their head, and Harper resumed struggling. However, when they simply sniffed her purple mane, she froze. They froze, too. Then, leaping off of her, the red beast stared with wide eyes. Leaping to her feet, Harper tilted her head, growling softly. The two remained like that for a few moments: it seemed like they didn't know what to do. Eventually, after a few moments the blue dragoness snorted in annoyance and drew in the charred dirt with a clawed finger. She wrote her brother's name, Parker.


    When the beast vigorously nodded after they read the simple word, Harper froze, then lashed her tail. It was him! Instead of leaping for joy or anything like that, the dragoness sauntered over to her brother, then cuffed him over the ear with her paw. Parker visibly winced, a hiss of disapproval escaping his lips. Before Harper could respond, she froze, her ears angling towards the sea.


    She heard something.


    Snorting quietly, she gestured in the direction of the noise, and without any further delay the duo flew off towards the mainland. Luckily for them, they weren't too far away.
    ---
    While flying over the mainland, Parker had caught sight of some livestock grazing below, and informed his sister with a hum and gesture. Glancing down at the ground, she nodded, and the two looped around and landed among a few trees. After their transformation, the two were starving. Maybe it was a side effect? Harper didn't know for sure, but what she did know was she was going to get one of those cows. And that was exactly what she did.


    Surprisingly, Harper was pretty stealthy for a large blue beast with magnificent wings. She pounced upon and silenced her prey before they could alert the rest of their herd, and dragging her kill back into the trees, she stared to tear into it.


    Being the nice sibling that she was, Harper offered her kill to Parker when she had her fill, who gladly accepted. The dragoness licked her muzzle clean, then parted her jaws in a large yawn. Before she could settle down, though, Harper thought she saw something. Hissing quietly, the blue dragoness stalked towards the object of interest, her eyes narrowed and wings folded.


    Unbeknownst to her, the 'object of interest' was actually the source of the noise that brought her and her brother to the mainland. Another weredragon.

    Lilian lowered herself to the ground, moving ever so slowly. She waited for the perfect moment to strike. She decided to choose one of the elder weak cows, since she felt bad. The cow continued grazing, until it looked over at her, when she pounced. She bit and clawed the beast, putting an end to its misery. She began eating it, despite her human self would have never done such a thing. It actually tasted like beef! She continued eating, until she saw a light go on. She turned and saw it was the lights from inside the ranch house. The owners were coming to check on their cows. Lilian dashed off, so the humans wouldn't catch her, until she bumped into two other things. Two other weredragons, to be precise.


    You know, I was thinking the same thing.

    [center][fancypost=backgground-color: none; border: none; width: 425px; text-align: justify; font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt]Parker had followed Harper when she moved to investigate something, but when she suddenly jumped out of the way, he didn't react so quickly. When the other dragon knocked into him, he didn't budge. Staring down at them with confused eyes, he swiped his tongue over his bloodstained maw and tilted his head, flicking his ears. When he noticed Harper trying to pounce upon the other dragon, he quickly stood and caught his sister between the two horns atop his head, keeping her away from the other. Why was she being so aggressive? With a flick of his head he flipped her onto the ground, and turning away, he ignored her raised lip and annoyed hiss. His attention was on the other dragon at the moment. Tilting his head yet again, Parker unfurled his wings and flapped weakly at the air, then folded them back to his sides. A series of 'chuff-like' noises escaped his throats when he attempted communication. He could hear his sister's annoyed grunt, and judging by the soft thud, she must've settled down onto the grass.
    ---
    Harper's eyes were locked onto the house in the distance: if the humans got any closer to their hiding spot she'd alert them. Tail swiping over the ground, the dragoness snorted, narrowing her eyes. She'd torch them if she could, but Parker wouldn't allow it. In this state, she didn't have the upper hand.

    Lilian looked up at them. They were like her. She was scared, these dragons looked like they could kill her. However, she decided to keep her cool and be friendly with them. When she heard the red dragon's noises, they almost sounded understandable. She opened her mouth to speak, but all that came out were chuffs and squawks. None of them sounded menacing, but it was still strange.

    [center][fancypost=backgground-color: none; border: none; width: 425px; text-align: justify; font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt]Parker emitted a strange noise, which was his equivalent to chuckling. This dragoness was a peculiar one, and that amused him. Swiping his tail over the grass, he scattered fluorescent red powder over the blades, which dusted them with color. Flicking an ear, the catlike dragon raised his head and turned to look at his sister, who exchanged glances with him for a brief second before snorting and looking back at the house, resting her head on her paws. He too snorted in reply, and narrowing his eyes, he shook his regal head before turning back to face the dragoness. This caused more red power to dust the grass below them, and lifting a paw, Parker growled quietly. Hopefully, nothing would trigger the blast. Staring at the unfamiliar weredragon, he snorted, his ears lowering. Communication seemed impossible: the noises they made were hard to decipher, so sticking out his lower lip in a 'pout' of sorts, he knitted his scaly brows together. Maybe he could try writing? Turning his attention to a patch of dirt, Parker sauntered over to said patch, then dragged a clawed finger through it. He wrote a simple sentence in the dirt: he didn't have enough room to write a complex sentence out. "Are you like me?" it said. He could feel Harper's eyes burning into his hide, and shooting a glare her way, the dragoness curled her lip in a snarl, hissing quietly.

    Lilian backed up a bit, in surprise. We're these creatures like what she was? She had to make sure. She grabbed a branch off a tree and started writing. F I R S T, W H A T A R E Y O U? It said.


    Lol HTTYD reference.
    Also I wasn't sure if the dragons would or eventually be able to talk to each other in dragon form or what.

    [center][fancypost=backgground-color: none; border: none; width: 425px; text-align: justify; font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt](*forbidden friendship intensifies)
    (Maybe they'll develop the skill over time?)


    Parker watched her write, and reading the sentence, he clawed more letters into the dirt. "I don't know. I was a human," it said, and looking back up at the other, he tilted his head and flicked his ears. Feeling a presence next to him, the dragon looked to his right and saw Harper, who had decided to sit down and join the conversation. Staring at her for a few moments, Parker snorted, then looked back at the other blue dragon.

    To Nerd: Quick summary is after more dragon shenanigans, Parker, Harper and Lilian bump into each other


    To DogFish FishStick: Also, I thought they were going to meet each other when they're humans. I'm okay with your idea, I just wasn't sure if they would interact more when they see each other as humans and then transform into their dragon selves in front of each other.

    The Silver And white weredragon now sat. He sat in The middle of A large lake And listened. His senses seemed hightened, And for some reason all He could hear was these strange distant sounds. They sounded like growls of sorts, but Not menacing ones You hear from those cartoon Wolves on TV. It sounded like two different creatures were exchanging The sounds, as if having conversation. The sound kept ringing in his ears. Josh wanted to inspect it with all his might, but He was cautious. He had just transformed into A dragon. From basic knowledge He knew That revealing himself to any person would land him in deep water. So He continued to sit. Little did He know The more He thought The faster The air got colder around him.

    [center][fancypost=backgground-color: none; border: none; width: 425px; text-align: justify; font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt]I seen this and had to add it -w-'

    Anyhow, I was thinking maybe they first meet up as Dragons, but interact further as humans.
