Title: Finding lost wolves in sheep's clothing (chapter 1.2 Night shift- detour)
Post by: Maxx on: Barton Street Jail - 1:00 am - Nicky Dingo

The guards would have been skeptical of the scruffy looking man, despite his rather impressive looking credentials, if it hadn't been for the tiny Asian woman with him. They finally allowed the two inside the interview room, where the frightened young woman sat. The initial panic was over but the guards still were wary of her, referring to her in hushed tones as 'the bitch from hell'. It was the left over residual effects of her unexpected change to Crinos form. Their minds were not willing to accept that they had a werewolf in one of their holding cells. The damage she had done had been attributed to everything from exceptionally strong fake nails to a concealed weapon.

Nicky knew different. He'd been where this girl was and now it was his turn to return the favour that had been done to him all those years ago. He spun one of the chairs around and sat down, legs splayed and slouching against the back of the chair.

"Hell of a night," he said, his lazy accent filling the room with an easy calm. "One of those nights that makes you think you're going stark raving mad." He leaned closer. "Let me tell you for a fact, You're not the crazy one. You're something that you've been told all your life isn't real. It's going to be hard to believe and even hard to accept but its true. My name is Nicky Dingo. This is Akira Tanaka. We're here to take you out of here and if you're willing to listen, I'm going to try to help you make sense out of what just happened to you."

Demona's chin quivered as tear filled eyes looked at the scruffy man with fear. Her pink lips barely opened, "Things like this don't exist, I must be ill. It was a horrible dream." In her mind, it had to be in a dream state and her mind could not register everything at once. Impossibly long lashes flickered upwards at the man, "Take me anywhere but here, it is not safe! They keep starring at me like I am a monster." The frightened girl spoke as she looked at the tiny Asian woman. Small nostrils flared and she shook her head at once. "I don't feel so well."

Akira cocked her head side ways as she studied the young woman. The information that they had gotten from the police had been very little since the girl had no ID on her and they were going to run her finger prints though the data base to see if she had a prior record or if she turned up as a missing child.

She didn't like working with so little information. She smoothed the edges of her blazer as she stared thoughtfully at the girl. Her Jade green eyes appraised the youth. "You might be in shock." Akira replied as she handed the girl a blanket. "My name is agent Tanaka. She replied to the girl as she pulled out her ID and flashed the girl her credentials.

"As my partner says we are here to escort you from this building but there are conditions. You are not free to go back out on the street to steal more cars. If you agree to go with us you will be relocated to a new residence here in this city. We are agents of the government but the program we are affiliated with is one where we help persons that have unusual gifts. If you agree to leave you will be given your own apartment area and we will teach you how to deal with your new found abilities and put them to good use. This also includes a yearly salary as well as schooling." She calmly explained to the girl. "I assure you its safer than living on the streets and the pay is better or comparable to what you are currently making boosting cars. If you refuse we turn around they finish processing you and you will be going to Juvenile hall or potentially be processed as an adult since you seem to be around the age of sixteen or seventeen by my observations. The have been cracking down on youths that hide behind the minors act to commit crimes."

Demona didn't take his hand. She leaned back from him still a bit frightened of his large statue. Green eyes flashed with uncertainty but it was better than being in jail. She listened to the Asian woman with a small timid smile. "Great, out of the frying pan into the fire" she retorted without mirth to her words. Her pink lips shuddered as she rose. She still had not given her name and certainly did not want them running her name in the system. "There is one thing that I expect!" It sounded more of a demand than a request. "My mother is looking for me, and I never want to see her again. If you can arrange that, then I will gladly go with you." Penetrating green eyes appraised Tanaka; as much as she had done her. The kid was smart and quick witted. Softly Demona spoke, "Does that mean you will help keep me safe?" Again she felt that sickening feeling in her stomach. The closer she got to the Tanaka chick, the more she felt sick. Demona backed away from her and got closer to the scruffy looking brute. She felt with certainty that she could talk him into anything. While the Asian chick gave her the creeps. Demona wasn't sure why, but she felt oddly attuned to the large fellow.

"You will find our organization can do a great many deal of things young lady. However you really aren't in the spot to make demands. You were already printed so if we really wanted to we could just keep you here until the data comes up on who you are. You are a tenacious and rather clever girl. In time that will become even more apparent. Make no mistake though we are not easily manipulated. But we are sympathetic to your plight." She explained her tone softened.
"You are being offered a place to stay for the time being which is not a prison cell. You can accept the help we are offering and then we can negotiate how well we hide you." She offered the girl a smile. Admittedly the girl was more of a manipulator that she was at her age. She almost chuckled. She would be an asset to the department in a couple years. "You may be surprised to find that we would gladly do so until you are nineteen and legal age to hide yourself. In truth though my dear we ask out of politeness for you to come. But the reality of it is you will come. The good thing though is you will learn and see things that most people will never get a chance to see in their life times." she gave the girl a wink and offered her a blanket. "Wrap up in that until the guards come back with some proper clothes since you shredded yours during your episode."

"I can help with that clothes shredding thing too," Nicky said. "You'll never lose a suit of clothing again, unless you decide to do it deliberately. It's damned impressive in the right circumstances but hella hard on the wardrobe."
Title: Re: Finding lost wolves in sheep's clothing
Post by: Demona on: Barton Street Jail - 1:08 am - Demona Peirce

Demona stood up and smiled charmingly, "So shall we get out of dodge? I have no interest in being here longer than necessary." In truth she figured, at worst she gets out of the dump she is currently in. If things don't work out, she can leave the city. The worst that could happen is they could turn her over to her mother or that detective that she hired. Shivering involuntarily, she gave a timid smile and spoke softly, "Lead on my good man."

She knew that she didn't have any cards here, her only saving grace was the old cop that had held her paperwork up stating that he had to locate her file down in the basement. "Does that mean, I get my things back? I really would love my purse back." It held her little black book that no one could read but her. To anyone else it looked like meaningless drawings. They where actually blueprints of areas that she had walked in, so she knew where to go for her next pick up.

"I don't own much clothing!" she shrugged non committedly. She had a backpack that held a few items but for the most point, the girl traveled lightly. It was in her best interest to never get used to having anything. Her mother had taught her that material things meant nothing. It was normal to the girl.

Greatfully she took the blanket and wrapped it around herself. She was embarrashed that those guards saw her naked and now she was sitting in a room with two people she did not know. A single tear fell down her cheek as she covered her cheek up in an effort to cover her tear. "Not many have thought about helping me." she whispered.

The Japanese woman nodded. "Yes we will be obtaining your things before leave." She looked to the girl. "As much as this might seem silly we will be escorting you out of here in hand cuffs until we get to the vehicle. Please don't be upset about it. Its done merely to keep up appearances. Agent Dingo will remove them once we get outside to the vehicle. And you will be given back your belongings in there as well."
Title: Re: Finding lost wolves in sheep's clothing
Post by: Demona on: Barton Street Jail - 1:09 am - Demona Pierce

"I am used to handcuffs but it will be odd with a blanket wrapped around me." The girl was petrified at being defenseless but never bated an eye at the concept. She had been in quite a few instances that her coolness paid off. "Okay, I am ready. Can we leave now?" Again she was trying to get them to leave. There was no way she wanted her fingerprints ran. She was scared they would see how long her record really was and rescind the offer. She was maturing into a woman and the thought of what someone would do to her, if her looks failed scared her to death.
Title: Re: Finding lost wolves in sheep's clothing
Post by: Maxx on: Outside Barton Street Jail - 1:20 am - Nicky Dingo

Oddly it was much faster getting out of jail that it was getting in, an irony that was not lost on Nicky. He'd managed to suppress a shudder until they were outside. "If I never see the inside of one of those again as long as I live, I'll be a happy man," he said. "Soul killing. They really are."

He popped the cuffs off Demona, who didn't seem too unhappy with the prison scrubs she was wearing. "Okay, Love. Hungry? When it happened to me the first time, I was starving. We can swing past Rotten Ronnies and grab you something. Not much else open this time of night except for the occasional dumpster." He looked at Akira. "Would you mind getting her into the truck? I need to see a man about a dog. I figure it might be the easiest way to get her to believe we're straight up about this."

"Or you could just show her in the back of the truck while I drive," Akira said. "That way we could just skip MacDonalds and get her a real meal, rather than processed junk."

Nicky shrugged. "If you insist. Just don't blame me when she has a screaming black hairy snake fit."

"She'll be fine. This one is tough. Trust me, I'm a good judge of character."

"And how many people have you known that got to watch something like that at a range of four feet inside the back of a truck?"

Akira smiled. "Would you believe me?"

"And how normal are you?" Nicky asked. "Rhetorical question. Just get her inside while I do what needs to be done. I'll be right back." He left the two of them there, standing beside the truck and walked into the darkness.

"Wanker," muttered Akira. "Please, take a seat. The benches are actually quite comfortable." She handed Demona her school bag. A second later, Nicky jumped up into the truck, his tail wagging cheerfully. He looked like some friendly stray that had just chosen to come say hello.

Demona didn't quite understand everything so she just sat down. The words they where speaking meant nothing to her. She was hungry but wasn't sure about a place called Rotten Ronnie's. The name would of scared any teenager she amused. As the large dog jumped into the truck, Demona was shocked. "Um Ms. T, there is a mut in here with me. Um I never seen one this close before, but boy is it ugly!"

Green eyes looked at the dog in awe and fear. Along with an utter awareness of the way it smelled, she wasn't sure if she wanted to kick it or reach out and stroke it. Her mother never allowed her to have any pets. She was always told that animals where the spawn of satan and to look upon one was a sign of witchcraft. Her green eyes never shifted from the dog, but the tremor in the voice could slightly be heard. "Um Ms. T, you had better come take a look at this filthy thing!"
Title: Re: Finding lost wolves in sheep's clothing

The Japanese woman nodded to the young teen. "He wont bite. I think hes just taken a special interest in you. If you don't want to touch him thats fine, but we will be taking him with us. We tend to be in the habbit of picking up strays. You will get used to it." She offered the girl a polite smile. "I'm closing up now. You will notice on the wall of the bench a panel with a red button. It will allow you to talk to me from inside the cab when we are driving. Be sure to buckle up dear."

Akira closed the back of the truck leaving the girl alone with the dog. The lights in the back turned on as the door shut illuminating the passenger area. From what the girl could tell the truck seemed like a large convoy vehicle, something almost military grade but it had been modified somewhat. The bench she sat on was actually comfortable however and the cabin looked to be able to fit eight personnel on the benches with enough room to stuff other things on the floor and under the benches themselves. However the cabin had no windows.

The trucks engine rumbled to life and the young girl felt the vents in the truck around her ankles kick in blowing cool air into cabin. At least it wouldn't be a sweltering hot ride.

Over the loud speaker Akira announced that they were taking off and with that the truck began to move.

Unsure how to feel about picking up dogs, Demona starred at Ms. T with apprehension, "Um but he has fleas and he smells like a wet dog. Does he have to ride back here with me? I was always told that currs and cats where evil." Her green eyes twinkled with memories that she wished she could of forgotten long ago. The memory of her mother yelling at her that absolutely no animals ever allowed in the house. They consorted with demons and where the embodiment of evil. Strong legs carried the girl away from the dog, unsure if she wanted it that close to her.

If dogs could smell fear, than Demona was positive that the steady rise and fall of her chest showed her uncertainty. Curling her legs up, she wrapped her arms around herself and stayed there staring at the beast with a mixture of feelings. She had never gotten to close to any animals. But she knew they always seem to find her and she never understood why.

"Unfortunately I can't get rid of him. And I assure you he doesn't have fleas. Just ask him to sit in the far corner. He will likely listen. He seems like a pretty intelligent animal from what I ascertained. So now that were out of the jail do you have a name we can call you?"
Title: Re: Finding lost wolves in sheep's clothing
Post by: Demona on: Barton Street Jail - 1:15 am - Demona

Starring at the dog, the girl spoke softly "Sit dog, sit". The words sounding more like a chirp. She didn't feel comfortable talking to animals, it was rather odd for her. At the mention of what to call her, Demona's eyes left the dog to look towards Akira for the first time. "Um they call me Demona, my mothers name for Satan's child." her pink lips snarled into anger for the first time that Akira could ever see. "It is a curse that I live with every day. Most just call me Bratty girl on the turf." She shrugged her shoulders non-committedly. "You can call me anything you want, I don't care. Just don't call me late for supper" Her small pink lips curled up into a tiny smile trying not to think about her past to much.

"Well on the plus side in a few years you can legally change your name to whatever you want. Perhaps under the right circumstances we can get it changed before then. If the reason you live on the streets is due to the fact that your home is abusive you would become a ward of the courts. Which means you could have your name changed to suit your foster parents or just changed to anything really to protect your identity so no one could track you down. We can talk more about that when you are ready. Tonights going to be a big enough culture shock I dont see the need to delve into your family life. You don't seem to keen on Demona so we will have to work on a nick name or something since I refuse to refer to you as Brat." Akira said as she stopped at a red light.

Inside the truck the Dog sat and watched Demona tongue lolling out of it mouth as it gave its tail a wag.

Post by: Demona on: En route - 1:17 am - Demona

Demona looked at the dog as she listened to Akira carefully. There was something the woman wasn't telling her, so Demona just shook her head. The dog wagged it's tail and Demona wasn't sure what to make of that either. She shrugged her shoulders, "I have not been called much else except brat or get out of the way. It make's no difference to me, because I always seem to come out alright. My grades are top notch despite how I was raised." She laughed to herself, "I remember doing homework by candlelight because my mom refused to pay the electric bill or allow me lights in my room." more as an after thought that anything. The dog kept looking at her and it unnerved the child quite a bit.

She looked at the dog again and actually smiled a little bit. "Love your eyes, wish they where mine beast." Whispering to the dog so no one could hear.

Post by: Maxx on: Barton Street Jail - 1:17 am - The Dog in the Truck

"Sorry, Love. If they gave them to you I'd be blind. You might want to look into contact lenses though." The dog was making typical doggie noises but somehow Demona could understand it as if it were speaking English. No, that wasn't right. The comprehension went beyond language to something far more primal.
Title: Re: Finding lost wolves in sheep's clothing
Post by: Demona on: Barton Street Jail - 1:18 am - Demona

Hearing the dog speak in her mind blew Demona's mind. She shrieked like the dog bite her. "Get away demon, get away from me. You will not take me!" Her green eyes showed complete fear. Memories of the stories that her mother told her came screeching in at a faster pace then Demona could assimilate. She hyperventilated, as her small hands lunged at the seat belt with fear. She let go of the seat belt to scream, "Stop the truck!" she wanted out and now. The dog seemed oblivious to her fear and she stayed as close to the beginning of the cab as she could. "Oh god please don't let it eat me." she was still a child no matter her age. She couldn't understand what was happening to her, let alone understand that a dog was talking to her.

All of the sudden the pain in her stomach began again, and Demona screamed with defiance, "Oh no, not again."
Title: Re: Finding lost wolves in sheep's clothing
Post by: Maxx on: En route to headquarters - 1:17 am - The Dog in the Truck

"Let it go, Love. Let it happen." The dog was talking again but this time its shape was flowing like water, growing, shifting and taking on the form of the scruffy man who had helped Akira get her out of jail. His voice was steady and calm, as if he were talking her through a charliehorse rather than a shapechange.

"I'm not a demon and neither are you. We are Gaia's children, children of the Earth. Your mother wasn't one of us I'll wager but your father was. Just relax and let it happen. You'll gain control of it soon enough."

Post by: Demona on: Enroute to Headquarters - 1:19 am - Demona's panic in the truck

(http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h320/deanna12306/Demonawhitewolf.jpg)

Green eyes flinched and widened as her body changed. White fur coursed over her body and her labored body rose to the fight or flight system. Everything in Demona's being screamed flee and that was exactly what she planned on doing. Her fear became rage and she howled anger at the confines of the transport vehicle.

The girl was smaller than anyone had anticipated, much smaller. Her mind went blank as Demona looked over her new form trying to fathom what was happening to her. She knew this was what she was, yet at the same time disbelief had flitted through her mind. She noticed the man and took a deep breath of its scent. He was a potential threat and she advanced on the man and growled venomously at him. He had blocked her path as she slammed her small white body into the van trying desperately to escape from the confines of the vehicles. A growl of frustration escaped her voice as green eyes flitted over the entire vehicle looking for a way out.

The mans words seeped into her mind, that it was her father and not her mother. Demona shook her head, "no" and scratched at the wall trying to find any weakness to escape. This was not happening and this had to be one bad brownie trip.

His shrill whistle was painful, even to human ears in such close quarters. "Get a grip or you're going to hurt yourself," Nicky said, an edge in his voice. "Once you calm down, I'll start explaining things but you're not going to find out about who and what you are if you blow a gasket and flip your shit. Breaking out of here won't help you either. There aren't a lot of us left around here and you'll be lost and on your own, with nobody who understands what you're going through. You're not a demon, Love and neither am I. We're both so much better than that."
Title: Re: Finding lost wolves in sheep's clothing
Post by: Demona on: Enroute to Headquarters - 1:21 am - Demona's panic in the truck

Demona whinned very clearly in her panic. The truck wasn't slowing down and the mans whistle hurt her sensitive ears. She laid down placing her paws over her delicate face and whinned again. She was frightened, scared, worried and above all else wanted to escape. Sluggishly tiny ears fell forward as she laid there starring at the man who was talking to her. A part of her feared him, yet at the same time the word trust seem to settle in her mind. She didn't understand how her body felt or how it worked. Green eyes flashed with nervousness as she slowly slunk closer to the man.
Title: Re: Finding lost wolves in sheep's clothing
Post by: Maxx on: En route to Headquarters - 1:22 am - Nicky Dingo

"There ya go," Nicky said, offering her his hand to smell. His tone was once again calm and soothing. "Your nose is a hundred times stronger in this form than it is in human form. It can tell you a lot. I'll teach you how to read the scents in the air like a book. You'll also start to notice that smells don't work the same way. You won't get sick at the smell of rotting fish in this shape, you'll just think it's a strong smell. It will still make you puke when you're walking on two legs though. Just relax. We'll be home soon. We'll get you a nice soft bed and a shower and you'll be yourself soon enough. You'll turn back to human when you fall asleep, if you don't change back sooner. No worries and no hurry. It will all work out in the end. Go ahead and talk if you want to. Your body knows what to do. I'll understand you. We can all understand each other, no matter what shape we're in."
Title: Re: Finding lost wolves in sheep's clothing
Post by: Demona on: Enroute to Headquarters - 1:23 am - Demona

The small white wolf lifted her nose to smell the man's hand. It did smell stronger, almost primal to her. She shook her head unsure how to feel. She listened to his words of calm. Small ears shifted back and forth as he talked. Lifting a paw in the air, she touched him with it. She did not quite understand why, but went with the flow. This was another occasion when her ability to make it was shinning through. Green eyes looked the man up and down and smelled him again. The smells in the truck where varied, from very strong, to odd. A single glance at the man and she whined trying to figure out what all the smells where.

The white wolf shivered as she shifted with the truck movements. Slowly she looked up and for the first time spoke to the man, "Where is home, never had one of those before?" a soft bark came out to the human that was driving them. "This is so odd - the changing. Are we ill?" again she was uncertain but not as fearful as she was before.
Title: Re: Finding lost wolves in sheep's clothing
Post by: Maxx on: En route to Headquarters - 1:24 am - Nicky Dingo

Nicky smiled. "Well, you have a home now. We aren't sick. This isn't a disease that you can catch by getting bitten. It's genetic. From what you say about your mother, I'm guessing your father is the one who passed on the gene. It's kinda like having red hair and green eyes but a lot better than both. Our real name is Garou. We're one of the Changing Breeds. Most people call us werewolves. My name is Nicky Dingo and I am a Bone Gnawer. That's my werewolf tribe. We'll get into it in more detail later. Right now we'll just work on getting your head wrapped around what's going on. Why don't we start with you asking questions. I'm sure you've got a few million."
Title: Re: Finding lost wolves in sheep's clothing
Post by: Demona on: Enroute to Headquarters - 1:24 am - Demona

Again the wolves ears moved as he talked. "You say it is genetic, well that would explain why my father ran off. He was ashamed of me." a tone of bitterness escaped her voice with a slight tremor. "My mother always said i was the seed of satan, now I understand why she hated me so much and tried to keep me locked away from people." More questions came to her mind but she was still trying to take in that she was a freak and apparently so where the people that where taking her in. "Do others know about us? Or we in danger of hurting others?" She had so many questions in her mind.
Title: Re: Finding lost wolves in sheep's clothing
Post by: Maxx on: En route to Headquarters - 1:25 am - Nicky Dingo

So it was going to be the hard questions first. Nicky sighed. "Love, we aren't human. We're close but we aren't human. There is a rage inside us. It gives us power but there is a price. It's hard to control and sometimes it can't be controlled and those are the times we try to avoid because when you're acting on rage and instinct, you can really hurt the people close to you. We can't have a normal life with a normal family. As much as we try not to, we always end up hurting them in the end. Your dad didn't leave because he didn't care. He left because he knew he had to leave before he hurt you."
Title: Re: Finding lost wolves in sheep's clothing
Post by: Demona on: Enroute to Headquarters - 1:25 am - Demona

The white ears went backward at the words, "No my mother said my father raped my mother and then escaped. She has always cursed me for being born. Although I still don't understand why she hated me. I never asked to be born. Did she get hurt from giving birth to me? If we are not human, does that mean that I can never have a boyfriend to spend my life with me?" Her mother didn't want her, that was old news. But the fact she could never be with someone hurt her greatly. She had always wanted a family of her own. It might seem silly, but she wanted to give her children everything. Now was she going to be alone for the rest of her life? A whine escaped her voice and she simply laid down on the floor upset over that concept. She was a freak and that was that! Demona had always thought she was different, now she knew for a fact she was. The small wolf trembled with the emotions she was having and a part of her wished that she never woke up that day.
Title: Re: Finding lost wolves in sheep's clothing
Post by: Maxx on: En route to Headquarters - 1:26 am - Nicky Dingo

"You can have a family," Nicky said carefully. "You can have kids. They might even not carry the full gene. But you need to understand that it will be hard. You'll need a man who can understand that sometimes you just need to be left alone and that if you lose your temper there is going to be violence, maybe even bloodshed. It will be rough. That's why we band together in packs because we all understand how hard it is."

"You mean there are more of us where we are going?" she sounded shocked and a bit on edge. Putting more strain on her as she closed her eyes trying to decide if she should nap before they arrived or stay awake and ask more questions. She could not change what was happening. So she might as well deal with it. "How often does this change happen and how long does it take before we go to being normal?" Those where questions she really needed answers for. So many questions to ask and so little time to understand everything.
Title: Re: Finding lost wolves in sheep's clothing
Post by: Maxx on: En route to Headquarters - 1:28 am - Nicky Dingo

Nicky nodded. "Four? Five?" Nicky did a quick count on his fingers. "Four. You make number five. We've also got a cat shifter and a fox. You missed the coyote and the gator. They've moved on, along with Adiel. He was just creepy. We've got a few others for you to meet as well. Just for the record, there are things other than us that go bump in the night. Our job is to make sure they say excuse me afterwards."
Title: Re: Finding lost wolves in sheep's clothing
Post by: Demona on: Enroute to Headquarters - 1:29 am - Demona

A small laugh escaped her voice, "How do you expect anyone to make them say excuse me? If I am reading you right, then you expect me to stop them. I am not even able to stop myself from being me, let alone get in anyone's way! Are you kidding me?" She was praying that he would say yes, but a part of her already knew the answer. They would not have taken her out of processing if they had not meant to use her for something. "What else is around that does go bump in the night?" The last being totally mocking in the sarcasm.
Title: Re: Finding lost wolves in sheep's clothing
Post by: Maxx on: En route to Headquarters - 1:30 am - Nicky Dingo

"You make them say excuse me the same way you make anyone else do it," Nicky said. "You tap them on the shoulder and ask politely. Most of them just need to have it pointed out that they've stepped out of line or just didn't know that they were doing anything wrong. Like you, for instance. As far as what else goes bump, you'll be working with four vampires and a couple of things I'm not quite sure of. No the vampires don't sparkle in the sun unless they're bursting into flames which, according to them, is not a good thing."

*gasps*" Vampires are a mythological creatures, surely they don't really exist! " then she thought about it for a few seconds, "But then again neither are we suppose to exist. I guess this will take some getting used to. Hey I just had a thought, do vampires really suck on your blood? I think that would be cool!" Remembering reading about them in books and movies.

Nicky gave her a look that was nothing short of naked astonishment. "You're kidding right? You really think being sucked on by a vampire would be cool? Love, they're EATING YOU. I've been told it feels nice but I think I'll pass. Well, that and the fact that werewolf blood makes them go a little snakey. One of them bit a werewolf that stepped on her hand and the next thing you know she was trying to throw the television across the room. Stay away from vampires if you have the choice. They're bad news, especially from an ecological point of view."

She frowned slightly, "What do you mean ecological point of view? I mean come on you really expect me to understand what that means." pouting slightly as she rolled her eyes. Promptly folding her arms, "I think vampires are the most awesomest thing, especially since Twilight series came out. I am Team Edward fan and omg, I just think Jacob is hot too." She chatted nonchalantly. "So why are we working with them if you say to stay away from them? What is the point of that if I don't get to actually meet one and talk with them?" She really didn't understand this whole concept yet.

Nicky sighed. "Twilight and all the other vampire movies you see and books you read are pure spin doctoring," he said. "Vampires churn that crap out by the ton, to try and make themselves seem trendy and sexy and sympathetic. They do it to change people's perceptions of them, in case it is ever discovered that they actually exist. In truth they are trying to rule the world from the shadows and they are savage, vicious things who think nothing about wiping out whole cities to further their own ends. They are parasites, pure and simple. They take and take and take and give nothing back, not even when they die because the corpses don't rot. Because you are a werewolf, they've lost their greatest chance to control you but that doesn't mean they won't try other means and they've got all the time in the world to try and figure out how to do it. Don't get me wrong, there are a handful of vampires that I would actually risk my life for but the rest of them I would cheerful stake out in the middle of a parking lot and sit there eating popcorn as the sun came up."

"Wow that is really evil! That sounds like every other human on this planet, they are greedy, power hungry mugruls that would think nothing about destroying anything that is not like them! I am not sure I like the thought of having to stake someone, even a vampire!" Sounding just a bit alarmed at the hatefulness she just heard the man she was becoming to like be very racist. "Why are you so angry?" As her forehead came closer together as she contemplated this new news.

"It's a long story and it starts with who we are and why we are here," Nicky said. "Making a very long story very short, werewolves are guardians of nature in all its wonder and vampires exist outside of nature. They are unnatural predators and part of what we do is try and stop them from upsetting the balance. The good news is that the battle isn't going to last much longer. The bad news is we're losing."

A frown crossed her petite face, "I thought good always won over evil!" Again she wasn't sure, so she just asked very softly. "So where do I fit in this plan of yours?" She was sure she would not like the answer.

"Only in the stories, Love. In real life evil usually kicks the shit out of good." Nicky paused, considering Demona's question. "You're a lost cub, Love. You need somebody to teach you how to use your gifts. We aren't turning you into a soldier, we're asking you to use what you've got to do what you can to make things safer for everybody. We've got a few of the vampires on our side, so maybe the game isn't lost quite yet. With luck we can tie things uo and push it into overtime."

A small smile played on her face, "I believe I can do some stuff to help out. There is lots I need to learn about before I branch out on my own. There is safety in numbers from my experience." She looked almost thoughtful for a moment. "When do you start teaching me about my hunger, thirst, and whatever else it is that I do when I change? It concerns me that I harm my friends when i get to see them. I don't want to do that unnecessarily." Luminous green eyes stared back at Nicky giving him the impression of the hunter stretching her claws. The silence between them lengthened as she waited for an answer. In the meantime she tapped her long claws on the floor seeing how long before they would get on his nerves.

"No hunger," Nicky said. "No thirst. It's the rage that gets you. It will be at its worst during a certain phase of the moon. Give me a birthday and I'll tell you when you're going to be having the hardest time. Me? I'm born under the dark of the moon. That makes me what we call a Ragabash, a trickster. My job is to point and laugh and, in doing so, teach the foolish and the proud the folly of their ways. I tend to get a bit savage with my comments around the new moon and even though I'm easy going, I can lose my temper. If I lose it too much, I can rage and that is when I go away and Mr Ugly comes out to play. You'll get to meet your own Mr Ugly eventually or at least see where he's been. If you wake up and your room has been completely trashed and you don't remember the party, chances are it was Mr Ugly."

"Then I already Ms. Ugly and don't remember it then. Mommy dearest complained that I trashed my room and I never remembered doing it once. I guess most of my anger is at her for being such a ...oh never mind." She snapped at the thought and the anger animated from her was enough to make the truck warmer. A loud rumble could be heard from her small body. "Maybe we could visit her now!" As her eyes glowed a slight amber for just a few. Then a snort came from her mouth, although not to sure it was mirth or just anger.

"Once we get the basics down, I'll start teaching you the Litany, our list of laws." Nicky chuckled. "Guess what is not on the menu? The flesh of man and not just for moral reasons. If you eat it, you risk attracting the attention of a nasty little spirit called a manflesh bane. They only go after Garou that eat people. Man's laws still apply too. If you kill, you go to jail or maybe the Department decides you're too dangerous to live and then we get to hunt you down again, only that time we won't be taking you to a nice warm place to live. It's more likely to be an unmarked grave."

Huffs loudly, "Here I thought it was going to be like in the movies. Well what is the point of being a freak, if you don't get to act like one!" rolling her green eyes with another flare of anger. She still has not changed back and she could feel the furry building. The heat radiating from her skin was a warning. She felt agitated and didn't understand why. "What is wrong with me?" she snapped loudly mad that she didn't understand worse yet, couldn't stop how she felt.

"Hot flash, I'd expect," Nicky said casually. He yawned and stood up, just as the truck came to a stop. "This is where we get off," he said. "You can act like a freak if you want but if you do, you can expect to be treated like a freak. Life is what you make it, Love. I've made a damned fine lemonade with what it gave me. You can either do the same or sit sucking lemons until your face turns inside out from the sour. We'll need to get an ID photo of you taken tomorrow, after you change back, since I doubt they'd put a picture of you like this on your badge."

He waited until Akira opened the door, then hopped out into one of the lower levels of an underground parking garage. "Coming?" he asked. "Or are you going to try and walk in on two feet instead of four?"

"I just want to be a normal teenager!" she sighed heavily and jumped out of the truck trying out all four feet at once. The jumping was easy, the landing was not so graceful but at least she didn't fall on her face. She growled at him to shut it and looked for Akira to follow behind her. She was getting tired and really just wanted to go to bed. Green eyes looked around trying to remember the layout but her brain was getting fuzzy. Demona figured it was because she was overly tired and to much information for her to take in at once. Head down she just followed whoever and really didn't care at this point. She just wanted to lay down and get rid of the ringing in her ears.

"Sorry, Love. Normal just went out the window." An elevator door slid open and Nicky stepped inside. "Let's get you to bed, shall we?"

The Japanese woman followed into the elevator "Seems like the two way button in the trucks Jammed again... Gonna have to get the grease monkeys to take a look at that. It made it rather had to chat things up. But it sounds like you made the best of it agent Dingo. I only got half the conversation."

She smiled "Thank you for coming out with me Nicky." She leaned against the wall of the elevator closing her eyes looking exhausted. "Demona are you willing to wait until tomorrow morning for your tour of the facility? It is rather late however if you want we can do it now, it just wont be a top caliber tour. " Akira groaned pinching the bridge of her nose as she fought of a headache due to lack of sleep. "Damn actually scratch that we will have to give you a partial tour anyhow because the Director will need to process your paper work tonight or you wont be able to get around in here. The doors to the place are all key card activated."
Title: Re: Finding lost wolves in sheep's clothing
Post by: Maxx on: Welcome to Headquarters - 1:46 am - Nicky Dingo

Nicky looked down at the four legged Demona. "I don't think she's equipped to handle a key card right now," Nicky said. "We can get all that set up in the morning. She can crash in my room. I'll sleep on the couch in the common room."
Title: Re: Finding lost wolves in sheep's clothing

The long raven haired oriental yawned "That works for me. It just means letting the director know that shes here with you. We can finish processing her in the morning."

"Just leave him a voice mail," Nicky said. "Or send him an owl. Whatever it is you people do when you need to talk to each other."

As Demona followed behind Akira and Dingo, she yawned and nodded at the same time. She had just gotten into the room as her head hit the floor. She was just too exhausted to carry on and the need for sleep over weighed her ability to take in everything. Green eyes closed and before she could respond she feel asleep.

Hours later, she awoke to find herself naked once again. She groaned and looked around for something to put on. This was so embarrashing to just change whenever it felt like it. Rolling green eyes, she tossed her red hair behind her and groaned out load. "Um Dingo where are you? I mean anyone?" She wasn't sure where she was or was around her. Thankfully she was back in human form. The hairs on the back of her neck stood up and a involuntary shiver escaped her body. "This place gives me the bloody creeps." she muttered under her breath.
