Far away in the far corner...*Open*

[Deathy]

Simon took a step back, hands held in front of him in self defense, she might only be a kid but she’s a scary kid he thought watching her nervously.
ok I’ll stop, I’ll stop he said, trying to smile at her and failing.
He looked around to see if they were getting any strange stares, they weren’t but then there weren’t really that many people in the corner where Simon and Ash were to give stares.
so looking up books on the animal is a good idea? he asked hoping he might have been vaguely on the right track.
Then he paused confused how do you change intentionally? he asked, worried.
He’d changed when he’d woken up from a nightmare about the crash at home and had ripped all his sheets up by accident. That had taken some explaining.

I giggled. This was getting to be kind funny. "You shift. You learn about the animal you change in, yes. I already learned a lot about horses before I shifted into one so that helps me a lot pushing back the shift. Like...you saw how nervous I got right? That was my prey instincts coming back and since your shifted side is a carnivore, a tiger and don't try to hide it cuz you are plus you kinda gave it away, it made me even more nervous. That would have caused me to shift if I hadn't pushed it back and thought like I did everyday. It's easy really. You tend to figure everything out yourself once you've done it a lot. That's the accidental side of it, and the stuff I already told you. As for intentionally...well you just kinda think about what it feels to be that animal, in my case a gray mare, and you become one. For changing back you think of how it feels to be human. Do this in the beginning and you can just switch it on and off like a light, without even thinking about it anymore. Make any sense at all? Well to put it down into elementary: shift. Don't hide who you are from yourself. Maybe from others but not from yourself. It only makes the whole world worse. Your shifter side is apart of you. Accept it and your life will change. I don't know if for the better or worse, even I hadn't figured that part out." An intense light showed in my eyes. This was serious. If this guy ran into the EF he was toast. From what I was learning now, he has been very lucky that he hasn't ran into them in the first place!

Simon looked at her this is all nuts he thought wildly and I have no choice but to be a part of it!
The one time he had changed it had been terrifying, he’d woken up, felt weird and attempted to sit up and get out of bed, except sitting up he’d still had all paws on the ground. Of course he’d panicked and fell off the bed, not before his claws had come out to defend himself, against himself and had ripped up his sheet.
But a tiny part off Simon, a teeny tiny part had liked it and he was begging to think that might be the tiger running through his veins.
The very idea of being something that could turn into something else revolted and confused him, The very idea that things like this existed scared him to his bones.
He looked at the girl, but she does it and if a teenage girl can do it, even a pathetic excuses of a grown man has to be able to something inside his head said to him, comforting and terrible. NO! No I couldn’t he thought growling at the thought, not knowing that the noise was out loud and getting him some odd stares. but they attacked her
are you sure the turning bit is necessary? Could I just learn to fight properly or by a gun? he asked voice a bit louder, trying to talk over the tempting thought inside his head you could just give in…

[RacingBelle]

I smacked my head and I was about a millisecond away from grabbing his hand and smacking his head. "What are you?! A man or a mouse?! Right now your scared. I understand, any shifter is a little scared somewhere inside them when they first shift. I know I was terrified and being chased by the EF wasn't helping at all! But you, you can find this out for yourself in some peaceful place before the Elite Forces find you! Any shifter that can do that should be grateful. You'll come around, it's not that bad really!" I walked toward him, put my hands on his shoulder and looked him straight in the eyes. If he chose to met my gaze, you could see that rebellion streak that always stayed there, cold dead seriousness, and eyes that have experienced things normal sixteen year olds haven't. But there was that dancing and flickering flame of being a shifter, that pride of being different. The wild spirit of a mustang that would never be broken entangled with my own defiant spirit. Together we made something stronger than if we were apart. All of that in my cold dark brown eyes. I dropped my hands back to my sides, the left one a bit more carefully, but I still gazed at him. "You could but you have a weapon. I have a lethal weapon. You...well I don't think your anywhere near that. Your a mouse but you can change that. Take the first step. It's made me better. Tell me if you don't see that. I'll prove you wrong anyway." I said softly poison dripping in my chillingly icy voice. He had to get this. "One mistake from a Supernatural, one deadly mistake, could tip the balance. You count in this uprising. Because us Supernaturals will rise up against our captors, like it or not your going to have to choose. One side or the other." I set my jaw and continued to gaze at him. What you've been saying sounds like, if Jisa spoke that much, she would say. Wise beyond your years....well I wouldn't put it that way. You've just learned and took to it quickly as a way of life, because that's all you've had to turn to. I didn't back down. I had tried to feed it to him gently but as sternly as I could. Now I had to shove it down his throat and make him eat my words and hang onto everyone for further reference. Even if it meant scaring him half to death. I didn't have most of this to rely on when I had first know about the secret side of the world. He should be feeling very lucky. Now what do you have to say to that, mouse? I put my chin up. Yeah that's what I was wondering.

[Deathy]

Simon just stared at her she’s probably right about the gun he admitted You’d be more likely to shot yourself in the foot then the enemy
And then she can forward and looked him in the eye, this kids insane he thought miserable, but his protests were being drowned out by the pure untamed fire in the girl’s eye. But something in Simons rose up to meet her gaze, and it was hard, fierce and cold. It vanished juts as soon as it had appeared but, as he tore his gaze away from and Ash’s and looked at his feet.
how do you know that I’ll make a fatal mistake? he asked maybe if I just stay quite nobody will notice me? he said not looking at her, any where but here. He always felt bad when ignoring advice, like he was some kind of traitor.
and whys there got to be a great war? he groaned and I had making decisions
so much for a simple trip to the library he thought glumly all I wanted was to get a book he stopped and listened to that thought echoing around in his head I really am a mouse

[RacingBelle]

I stepped back going into the shadows. Sitting down then standing up again. I leaned on the wall but I was restless. It was time to go. I had made my point, maybe my words would come back to haunt him one day. I got up and put back my book. "For another time." I promised it. There was one last thing to handle before I left though. "How do I know? Because look at you. No matter what you do the EF will find you. They found me before I knew who I was. They can tell. Why is there going to be a war you say?! Innocent people are being killed for nothing! Nothing! It doesn't matter if your young or old they'll slaughter you for being who you are: A Supernatural. Maybe some of us Supernaturals deserve to die but think of the innocent. Think of the ones that have done nothing at all to deserve the death that they died. That's why. Can't you look past your own past; your own problems?! Your own cowardliness and see the real ugly world that's behind the pretty backdrop that the EF put on for the humans! Yeah that's right. There's the ugly truth lying in the shadows. I'm only warning you of it now. Just wait. If you don't believe me now, you'll see me at the head of this rebellion and I'll scorn the ones who didn't choose to listen in the beginning! Look for me, you'll know it's me. You may think I'm crazy but it's gonna happen. Tensions are rising. They will explode. Death is coming for both sides. Keep this conversation in your mind when your alone and the EF come after you for the first time. You'll wish that you took my advice." My tongue was like a lash, bearing out the cold stone hard anger that I had been holding from everyone for so long. Each word was said slowly and in a low tone of voice but you could tell I was angry. I gave him one last look, anger adding to the mixture of rebellion, pride, and the wild untamedness in my eyes and then I turned to stalk away. Try and stop me. I dare you. That what I was daring him to do. Every inch of me wanted a fight, a challenge. Anything.

[Deathy]

Simon took a step back at the force of her words you really are crazy he said, but there was no heart init. Her belief at the in justice and her anger at the enemy took it out of him like a good kick to the stomach. He gasped, then gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, Simon might not have had any pride and not much cared what people called him, but tigers, tigers do.
He took a step forward, paused for a moment thought what the Hades and leaned forward, grabbing the girls arm.
I bet it’s easier for you, your only young, I’m 26 with no experience with anything supernatural, I never even heard about lord of the rings until four months ago! he growled out, if I turn into a tiger and eat her when she’s a horse is that cannibalism? he wonder angrily and then shoved the thought away I am no good at fighting and I’m not going to turn into a tiger if I can help it, but he was furious, he had never wanted this, it had all been one big accident when I find that tiger who blood I have, I’m gonna, I’m gonna, gonna severely hurt them!
but, I am a doctor, so when you have your big battle, bring your dying to me he growled I might not be good at much but I can fix people
He let her go and took a deep breath; he couldn’t remember when he had last been that angry. but that wasn’t you
He looked at the girl and sighed I am such an idiot

[RacingBelle]

I tried jerking my arm out of his grip but no matter how wimpy he was he was still a full grown man, stronger than I. "That's what you think! But many other sensible people wouldn't!" I snapped, finally letting loose the full torrent of anger on the poor guy. "Oh and that's a real lame excuse! I cut myself off from the whole world since I was ten and finally snapped out of it at fifteen, so that means I hadn't heard anything about Supernaturals until I got here! You don't see me making excuses! Oh and as for that last thing, I'll be a little busy with everything but sure yeah. If your alive." I spat. He let go of my arm and I elbowed him in the chest and considered just for a spit second of bringing my fist up and giving him a good upper cut. I did bring my fist up to where it was touching his chin and applied a little pressure. "Cross me again and I'll show you what I can do. What I can be." With that same cold look I turned again and walked, more like stalked, out.
