It was around midnight. The eerie, white moonlight shone brightly through the trees of the forest, lighting up everything in its path. All was peaceful- the chirping of crickets and peepers, the gentle moan of the wind... all except for the pounding of heavy boots upon a dirt path. The owner of the boots was a 15 year-old goth boy named Blade. Though, he was no ordinary boy- he was a werewolf, and the hunters were after him because of it. They killed out a majority of the werewolves back in France, they killed his pack, his family... and he was their next target. He couldn't stop running. It was either he kept running, or his life was taken. The boy continued to bolt through the forest, his ebony hair whipping behind him, and his piercing silver eyes aware of any sudden threat.

A second werewolf was nearby, also in human form. Her gaze was acute, along with other senses. She first heard the other person. She couldn't see him, but she stiffened, and pulled out a knife. Hiding it behind her back, in case he was friendly, she ran up alongside him. The panic in his eyes told her it was time to be friendly- and on guard at the same time. Her dual-tone voice sounded weird in most of the world, but natural in the woods. "I'm a friend. If you are. Who are you?"

Aero loped through the forest in full wolf guise, sniffing in its familiar scents; moist leaves, a squirrel or two...and two humans, running through the forest, the male human's scent saturated with fear. Aero kept pace with them, sure always to stay in the shadows of the trees and ferns.

Blade sighed, relieved to know he wasn't the only one in the woods.
"Blade... Blade Belden." He said, fear shaking his voice. "There's hunters... they're after me, they followed me all the way from France!" The goth swallowed nervously. "They want to kill me... and... who are you?"

Aero's ears pricked. If Blade was being chased by hunters, that could only mean that, like the scar-faced wolf, the emo had the wolf's blood coursing through his veins. But he didn't know about the girl, so he remained in the shadows, keeping an easy pace, green predator's eyes shining.

Blade continued to run at an easy pace, still alongside the female stranger. He had a feeling she was the same creature he was- a werewolf; he could scense. If she was, they were both in danger, and this time, he wouldn't be the only hunting target. Just then, Blade smelled the scent of yet another werewolf off in the distance. Looking back, he saw nothing, and only continued to run.

The boy had made a classic mistake. Obviously, this was his first time running, or he was smart and had given her an alias. "Call me Tai. You shouldn't have told me your full name. There's no accounting for what a person will reveal under torture. If they followed you from France, I wouldn't put it past them." Seeing the desperate look in his eyes, she added, "I was a runaway. I know these woods well. Do you need a place to hide?"

The goth furrowed his brows, thinking.
"This is the Woodfall Forest, right? The actual town of Woodfall mustn't be very far... perhaps we should try to seek help there?" Blade suggested. It would be wise not to tell anyone else their names, where they're from, or what they are- like Tai said, giving a full name wouldn't be such a brilliant idea...

Aero knew it now--he was sure Blade was a werewolf (he had looked into the wolf's feral eyes without fear) and, judging by Tai's experience with hiding, she was probably a werewolf, too. He loped into view, joining into their conversation in his deep wolf's voice. "Woodfall is a good place to hide, so long as no one figures out you're a werewolf. I'm Aero, by the way."

"Okay, hi Aero. How do we know that you're friendly? And for that matter, that Blade isn't a schizophrenic who should be in a mental institution?" The responses to these questions would show what type of people Blade and Aero were. She was pretty sure that Aero wasn't a pursuer, and almost positive that Blade was sane, but always good to learn a little more about people.

Blade began to stutter a bit, trying to figure out how to reply to Tai's question.
"Uh- well... I'm definitely not a schizophrenic. I would know. But to tell the truth... I'm a werewolf." The goth responded hesitantly. Though, he started to get a feeling that Tai and Aero weren't wishing to kill him, and what Tai asked was just to find out what he really was.

If wolves could shrug, Aero would've. "Figured. And guess what? I'm a werewolf, too," he added with heavy sarcasm, "Bet you never guessed. Totally can't tell. And if I'm right..." he said, facing Tai, "Judging by the fact of how you're so apparently used to being hunted and not the least surprised by a talking wolf, you're a werewolf too, am I right?"

Tai chose her words carefully. In unknown company it was usually best to do so. "My best friend is a werewolf." Tai paused for a few seconds, giving her time to think before her next statement. "I was never hunted, strictly speaking. I was a runaway for several years. The habits you pick up don't go nowhere. Blade, why did you come to Woodfall?" Judging by the fact that he knew the name of the town, Tai assumed he wasn't just running and ended up here.

Aero's tail swished. Tai was intelligent beyond her years, but she'd forgotten she was dealing with a werewolf. He could smell the slight musk of uneasiness in how she'd paused, and even that she'd paused at all. But her question was apt; if Blade was just running away, how did he know the town's name?

Blade sighed a long, mournful sigh.
"I lived back in a place called Juveau, France. There used to be a whole bunch of werewolves there, until one of them accidentally made known to humans what he really was." Blade's voice turned cold and monotone. "Then, there were hunters. A group of them killed my parents, my brother, and my pack. Now, there's this one hunter who's targeting me, and he's here in Woodfall somewhere waiting for the next full moon to find me!" The goth explained, inhaling deeply within breaks. "I chose to came here because me cousin, Damien, lives here. He doesn't know I'm here though; nor does the hunter know Damien's a werewolf as well." The ebony-haired male put a hand to his forehead, trying to forget all about the time he witnessed his family's murder. "That hunter can be lurking anywhere- and he's not the only one hunting werewolves."
