I've been walking for a while strangely I haven't seen a lot of life around the area, I have seen a couple rabbits and birds but nothing else. I had no weapon other than a stick that was sharp at one end but wouldn't do a lot unless I put a lot of force behind it.

I look around and saw a clearing and possibly a large animal. My ears perk up on the top of my head and I force them down lower as I crouch and approach the clearing. As I get closer its revealed to be a horse. I wasn't sure if I was strong enough to take down the horse. I look around and find a fist sized rock that was much sharper then the stick but I'll still have to use the stick as well if I want a meal.

I get on my hands and knees crawling towards the beast. Some wind whips at my bare torso but I continue unfazed. I'm almost close enough to pounce as my slightly dirty tail swings harshly under my skirt made from hide as I prepare with excitement. I lower myself closer to the ground and only twitch my tail slightly readying as I wait for the perfect moment to attack.

I see it and rear up until I hear it. "Hey! What are you doing?!" My heart sinks and my ears fling up and then quickly flatten as my tail straightens and fluffs out. I arch my back and hiss when I look their way I see it ways a human. I instantly panic in my mind but I don't back down.

The man with green hair steps closer with his hands up as if to show no harm, but I know better. I hissed louder and stomp my hand on the ground to tell him to stay put. I began backing up to where I entered the clearing. After a few steps, he walked closer and said. "I'm not going to hurt you."

I growled "stay there!" And hissed more. "I know what you all do, you don't care! we're living beings too! you think because we are different you can hurt us?! Well you can't hurt me! I'll get you back so don't even try!"

"I mean it, I won't. how can I prove it?" He looked at me and I stepped closer to the woods. "if you need clothes or food, I can help. It looks like you would like something to eat sense you were going to eat my horse. Or clothes because... it seems you don't have much he trailed off turning his pink face away.

I thought for a moment. "Fine, but you stay at least five feet away!" I stood hesitantly ready to run at any moment.

"Ok, you can follow me I think my family has some spare close. I don't live here anymore but I'm here until Wednesday. where do you live? you don't look like you're from here."

I walk with him as I see a cabin not far away. "Because I'm not from here." I answered.

"Oh... well where do you live?" I responded by shrugging. "Well do you not have a home? What happened? Did you ever have a home?" He questioned.

"Not anymore, and where I came from is none of your concern or anyone's for that matter. And yes, I DID have a home, why do you care aren't you supposed to be heartless monsters that capture, kill, and torture everything that's not like you?"

"No! Where did you hear these things! I mean there are mean people that do horrible things but that's not okay to do!" We reached the home he held the door open I entered but kept my eyes on him. "Is anyone home yet? Anti? Ma?" He yelled in the home. After no response he shrugged. "There's food in the fridge," he pointed into a room. "that's the kitchen help yourself and I'll go get some clothes for you." With that he walked off.

I went in the kitchen and looked for the thing that has food in it. After a bit, I gave up and just looked in all the storage places I look in one and saw sharp metal knives I took a decent sized one and put the stick and rock I had on the table. I decided the knife was now mine and examined it as I heard footsteps.

I crouched and waited for the person to come out the steps stopped by the entrance. "Where did you go? I have some sweats and t-shirt for you." The man spoke and I instantly stood up again.

"thank you." I said slowly reaching for them and then just snatched them away. I looked at him and then the clothes. I put the knife down and put the shirt on over my nude torso. I glance at the knife and his slightly red face making sure he wasn't going to take my new possession. I slide my hide skirt off and heard him gasp and turn around quickly.

I look to the knife making sure it was still there and it was, I then looked at him. "What was that about?"

"You just- what do you mean 'what was that about'? you just took your skirt of in front of me!" He shouted.

"So? I'm just changing. Plus, I already had no top on." I put the sweat pants on. "It's not a big deal. Besides I'm done."

He turned around saying "but still, its uncomfortable. Anyways did you get some food?" He asked

"No I couldn't find the fridge thing." I spoke his face went from flustered to confusion.

"What do you mean? You know what a fridge is right?" I shook my head. "I'll just make you something."

before he could reach a big black box with handles that I hadn't noticed, a door was opened somewhere close by. My tail frizzed and my ears flatted as I growled. I grabbed the knife and held it close as I crouched down enough to not be seen but I could still look around.

"Is that you, ma?" The green haired man spoke out.

"No, it's your brother." I stopped making growling as another man walked in but he looked like the other but slightly different but somehow seemed like the complete opposite. "so, who's the chick and why does she have your mom's kitchen knife." He spoke to the other.

what?! He didn't even look at me! how did he know I was here? wait, how did he know I have the knife?! I thought as I growled and hissed.

"Hun, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know your here and I have my own ways of knowing things." He walked around the table and stood next to me. "And stop hissing, I'm not scared of you." He patted my head and asked. "Can I have that knife back?"

I hissed and swiped the knife at his face, but he grabbed my arm. I went to swipe again but with my other clawed hand he easily twisted my arm he already had. I gasped in pain but still held the knife. "Let go." He said sternly with a warning undertone. I kept it in my hand still as he leaned closer and whispered in my ear "let. go. Of. The. Knife." He commanded. I still resisted until he twisted my arm more I yelped and dropped it.

He picked up the knife and let go of my arm saying "good." as he did so, it had a tone to it that said 'if you don't listen ill hurt you'.

"why did you have to do that anti?" The nicer one said as 'anti put the knife away. "She looks like she has been through a lot."

"I know that stupid I already know what happened." I stood up rubbing my arm and sat in a seat as the nice guy asked 'how?'. "Well you have to remember how we differ, trust me I know a lot more then you." he turned his attention to me. "Let me see your markings."

I'm surprised he knew about my markings. maybe he is an outcast? Or maybe he knows one perhaps? I nod and take my shirt off because it seems he knows a lot of other tribes not by forcing answers from outcasts but because he knows them on personal levels.

I saw the nice guy look away so he wouldn't see my bare chest. anti began looking at my marks he looked at the array of black and green lines with leaves here and there going from one arm to the other. After seeing the honored markings, he looked at my betrayal marking. He grazed it with his finger. I gasped and whimpered at the touch.

The first man I met came over and asked if I was ok, I slightly nodded. "I'll go get the first aid that looks bad." He left me and anti.

anti sat next to me waiting for him to come back. "Do you mind me asking what happened?"

"Well, I got greedy I stole a lot of things and kept it somewhere... I don't know why I just, that place I hid all my things was on the back-up pathway we never used until a bad storm hit and we had to go that way I was with two others a male and female they were scavengers but I didn't want to lose all my stuff I just... I lost control." I spoke trying to tell I ended them without saying it. "I wanted my things and I got greedy and would do anything to keep it all." I looked down "I mean who wouldn't? It was enchanted items and money, who wouldn't want to keep it all to themselves?"

the man came back with the first aid which just look like packages and tools. "Its medical equipment trust me it'll help more then what you probably had." I giggled at his stern assuring tone.

I looked at the other guy. I never got his name, why hasn't he said anything? Isn't he curious to what's going on? I thought as Anti tended to my wound.

"His name is Sean you can call him jack if you want, and he does want to know what's happening. But he's been surprised that there is a topless girl in front of me and I'm not doing anything, but he's also worried about your burn." we laughed as Sean asked why anti said that. "shut up its the truth. Anyways when was this two, three days ago?"

"almost three." I said and then just realized. wait. Didn't I think that about Sean? Or did I say that out loud? Can humans read minds?

"Yea you thought it." anti said. To which I shouted 'what?!' He chuckled. "yea pretty cool huh? but I must say i'm not human. I'm not in a tribe like you though I am a demon attached to Sean so if he is in one state I'll be in the same state we aren't emotionally attached but we are physically to a degree like I can feel his pain and he can feel mine and if one of us dies the other does too."

"That's cool. Have you seen any others like us?" I ask with hope.

"Well yes but the only current one is a demon like me but they're out in another country. You can put your shirt on now just be careful." I nod and put my shirt on. "jack?"

Sean looked at him weird. "what do you want? you only say jack if you want something."

"can she live with us at marks?" Anti asked.

Sean choked on his own spit. "I want to help her too, but there's barely any room with us all. Plus, how are we going to get her on the plane? how will we get a ticket for the plane in less than one day?

"Don't worry I can take care of it just tell dark we found a panther outcast." Anti assured.

"How'd you know I was panther? I could have been a different one." I questioned.

"Your ears are curved and your eyes have a clear yellow almost green in them. Your possessive actions also point to panther in particular."

"Anti how about you call them I think dark will understand and listen more to you he doesn't particularly like me." Sean suggested to the male, to which he agreed and walked away. "alright so from my understanding you're not human, do you at least know how to fit in with the community?"

I answered with "um... no, I'm not human exactly but I am to a degree. Also, considering that you looked surprised when I said I don't know what a fridge is, I'm going to have to say no. I'm not sure of what your traditions are."

Sean sighed "then I guess I have to explain what's normal and what not... Hm, where do I start?" he looked like he was in deep concentration so I decided against saying something. "well what of technology do you have?"

I'm sure at that moment I looked lost. "is that... a tool? In my old tribe, we only had tools to help us with food water clothes and more homes when we need then."

He wore a surprised face "alright then, I guess I start with simple stuff?"
