Maktiwa continued his journey through the woods. It was funny how often he felt he was not welcomed here. He was an outsider, and he felt somewhat ashamed of what he was. He had no faith in himself, and basically, had no trust in others. He had never felt love again after his father's death when he was eight. And even now, as time seemed strained, going into slow motion, secrets began to pop up, whispers he caught, he felt he was beginning to unravel his father's disappearance. How he wanted to take revenge...
He stopped suddenly, his eyes peering through the darkness. His topaz colored eyes scanning his path ahead, no one. He flipped around staring into the darkness behind him, he let out a small warning growl. He looked down, a bug scampered by, it's wings buzzing as it let go of the ground, tried to fly, and fell again. He felt it's emotions. Agony.
He bent down scooping it up into his hand, he set it on a branch, his feeling quickly changed back as he turned away ignoring the feeling. Whatever he touched he felt it's feelings, he had never met something or someone he couldn't read. He shut his eyes for a second, breathing out. He started to run toward the opening ahead, stray light cast it's way over leaves, he looked up catching a glimpse of the moon. Was that all he craved? Freedom.
He backed up falling to his knees, he resisted it. Fighting back his want to change, to become what he truly was. A Werewolf. He'd hidden from it night after night now, and it was becoming harder each time. He let out an angry roar, half human, half animal, it echoed through the darkness. He pulled himself away from the opening and slammed himself against a tree, he listened. He wiped the sweat from his brow, everything was dead quiet....
He slid down into a sitting position, he held his head in his hands. His pitch black hair falling in bangs around his face, he hid from the moon. If only for a second longer, darkness was his only refuge. He drew in deep, long breaths of air. Slowly he rose staring into the opening, as the moonlight seemed to sparkle in brilliance, calling him forward. [/font]

"You know, you're really not as scary as you think you are," Mya piped up from a tree branch above Mak. She had been sitting there for quite some time, her body invisible and her shadow hidden among the shade of the trees. Perhaps it was unfair of her spy like she does, but that is what makes her a great detective. As she jumped down, she was mere feet from the creature. "I take you are not from these parts," she ventured.

Maktiwa turned his head slowly, and got up. His eyes glaring at the stranger. "No...I am pretty familiar with this place..." he muttered. His eyes slowly watching this, creature, not sure whether to fight or run. He stood his ground instead, and waited. "You like to sneak up on people? Hiding something?" he asked suddenly angry at the sudden appearance.
He turned back to the opening, the moonlight casting down. He shut his eyes turning away, he had gone days without it. A Werewolf...a creature of torment. He narrowed his eyes staring up at this new person. "Why not pick on someone your own size there Pipsqueak?" he grunted, but it was no threat. He felt and looked too weak to fight anyone, he turned and began to walk slowly away. His head slowly tilted toward the ground, the bang of his hair falling over his face, his topaz eyes glaring from behind them. [/font]

Mya laughed at Mak's threat, knowing very well that she could escape any danger he posed. However, if his teeth came near, that was another problem. "I'm not hiding much except myself," she said playfully. "I just like to...you know, hang around. But if you are from these parts, then why are you not apart of the pack? Did you offend the alpha wolf?" Thoughts of this wolf offending Kari crept up into her mind. It was a very amusing scene indeed. It took a lot to anger the alpha wolf and so Mya could not help but feel that more troubled this werewolf than he let on.
"Please, tell me about it. I want to know." she said kindly, the teasing smile disappearing from her face and was replaced with a sympathetic expression.

Maktiwa stopped,"I don't do packs....They aren't my style. I have not offended anyone, nor have I said No. But I am not going out of my way for what I am either." he turned slowly, he stared at Mya without emotion. "Why do you want to know so much? I just do not trust myself. That's all...."
He narrowed his eyes again, this time he wasn't going to snap at the person. "I'm Maktiwa, or Mak. A werewolf, yes I am one, a pack? I've never thought about joining one....That's about all there is to tell." he said it convincingly. A tone of honesty and one without pause. He flicked his hair from his face,"And you are? What are you doing out here alone?" he might as well get questions answered too. [/font]

Mya appreciated the honesty that seemed to radiate from his being and accepted the explanations. "I'm doing my work," Mya answered his first question vaguely. "My name is Mya Lynn and I, like you, like to do my work alone. It's a bit hard when to do my work when I have to lug someone around. I'm a void shifter. I disappear at will with only my shadow to indicate that I exist. It's how I get around."
She disappeared and gracefully lept up onto a high tree branch--a feat no man could accomplish nor could Mya in her human form. Then she reappeared. "So tell me, Mak," Mya began conversationally, "if you don't mind, that is...how did you come to be a werewolf? And for how long have you been one?"

Maktiwa growled as she disappeared and looked up higher when her voice caught his attention. "Forever....16 years...." he said, he bit his lip to keep from moving toward the open area ahead. He swallowed, sweat began to drip down his forehead. "I was born, like this.....I never got 'changed'. I've only been able to turn into one for 7 years. I thought it would never happen to me..." he said, he began to feel dizzy as the moonlight began to cast down through the trees.
He stumbled back as fur began to appear on his arm as moonlight hit him. "I didn't want to become one..." he said, as he clenched his jaw. Transformation beginning to tug at him. "When I change into one...I have control, but I don't like being one...I can only change back when the moon isn't out. Or is hidden behind clouds..." he grumbled turning away from the moonlight. "I've never been in a pack, or around any other werewolves. I usually stay alone.." he muttered staring up at her. His eyes now only showing fear. [/font]

Kari was exploring outside, and picked up the scent of another wolf. She sniffed again, curious. The scent didn't belong to anyone in HER pack... he was probably a loner then. She sniffed yet again, picking up the scent of her friend Mya.
Being completely irresponsible, she pranced happily towards the duo. She looked for Mya, but couldn't see her, so she transformed back to human. "'Ello." she said cautiously to the other wolf. "Have you seen a shifter around here? She should be... Somewhere?" She grinned. "I'm Kari, by the way."

Mya rolled her eyes and appeared on the tree branch. "Hi Kari," she called out to the female werewolf. "Stalking me again are you?" She jumped back down onto the forest floor, but her landing wasn't so graceful and she fell face down on the ground. "And that's what I get for my attitude."
"Kari, this is Mak. Mak, this is my other werewolf friend in these parts, Kari" Mya introduced the two as she jumped back up on her feet. Then she turned to Mak and added, "You were just telling me about your history. Never been in a pack? Were your parents werewolves or is this sort of...out of the blue?"

Kari grinned. "Oh, you know I only stalk the ones I love." She tilted her head at Mak. "You don't have a pack?" she didn't know wether to relax or not. A wolf without a pack wouldn't be calling a pack to attack her own pack. But the last few pack-less wolves she had met had challenge her for Alpha.
"I'm the packs Alpha." she said carefully.

"I would challenge you, too," Mya commented after hearing the thought cross Kari's mind. "You're so easy to get when there's chocolate around." Then she searched through the pocket of her robes and found the bag of quadratini's that she had stashed there in case she had a sudden craving for chocolate. "Here, Kari Kari Kari!" she called to the alpha wolf while she held out the bag.

Kari, simply for entertainments sake, turned wolf and started to wag her tail and beg like a puppy. The she ran ovr, jumped, grabbed the bag out of Mya-chan's hand, and saat back dow. She grinned at Mya and thought, 'Yummy."

Mya laughed, too distracted by Kari's over-eagerness to remember that she was supposed to use this point to defeat Kari. Oh well. "Dang it," Mya muttered to herself. "Now I'm out of my quadratinis." She searched her pockets for more chocolate, but alas, that was her last bag. She mentally kicked herself as she turned around and disappeared. Once in her invisible form, she sprinted through the forest in search for the nearest supermarket.

Kari munched happily on the chocolate, grinning at Mya-chan.Then she blinked as she dissapeared.
Kari fnished the bag, tranformed back to human, and sook her head in amusment. "That woman has an addiction." she said happily. "But I is loving her anyway!"
She waited panteinly for Mya to re-appear.

Maktiwa took no interest in the two hyper-active, and somewhat overly optimistic souls that stood before him. He stared at them without concern, his eyes seemed to show he had distance in the awareness of what was happening right then. He turned his head and looked behind him, the clouds moved uncovering the moon and Maktiwa jumped to the side as he fought to control his transformation.
"To answer her question before, my Father, for I never knew my mother, was a werewolf. He disappeared years ago..." he said as he stared at the ground, a distant pain twinkled in his eyes for almost a second. He heard Kari was Alpha, but as much as he wished he cared, he didn't. He gave a small bow,"Alphess" he muttered, daring to look her in the eyes now, "I am a loner, and of no threat. For I'm not one to pick fights, I'm merely an Omega in everything that deals with life." he stated calmly, passively.
He rubbed his thumb along his facial hair that was on his chin. He inhaled and looked at her for a second, she looked nice, but he never gave things like that much thought. He looked up at the moon, it's beam glittering in his eyes. He was ashamed of what he was, he held his hand out, a sudden feeling of calm washed over him, as the part of his hand that was under the beam turned to his werewolf side. His upper arm pure flesh, he clenched his fist, the veins under the fur on his hand sticking through. He pulled his hand back, and it became human once more. [/font]

Kari felt very bad for Mak. "Mak, I don't think you'd be an Omega." she said softly. "Do you wanna hang out with my pack? Or do you prefer to be a loner?" she offered, then shuddered. It wa getting harder to keep her human form, even though she did bhave speacail control over when she transformed.

Maktiwa shrugged. "I guess." he muttered still staring at his hand. He hadn't changed in so long, everything in him longed for it, yet he didn't want to be what he was. He'd have much rather been a regular mortal, one that didn't have anything special about them.
"The problem is, I have a hard time controlling myself in my other form. I long to kill, I can control it, but it's not easy. And it only seems to get worse when not monitored." he stepped forward into the moonlight, his gray werewolf hair stretching up his arm, as the transformation hit his upper arm, the shirt stretched and began to tear. He pulled back again,"Not really what I consider "cool"." he muttered.
He looked at her, his expression blank. "I don't prefer to be a loner, but I never had a choice otherwise. My father was in no pack, I was passed on to no pack. I have never met another werewolf, I've hidden who I was. I guess I did a good job until now." he said with a small smile. But there was always something about him, that showed he was truly more grown up than his age. His frame of mind focused too hard on everything, he hardly ever had loved anyone, been loved, or cared about relationships. He was untouchable, the heart and soul of a true loner.
He longed for nothing more than a normal and good life. And what he got was the exact opposite, it caused him mental and physical pain. And over time, he felt weaker, and more wild. He had no one, and even though he preferred it that way, inside he longed for companionship. But to make up for his mixed emotions, he could sense others emotions through touch and close range. He merely lacked back up, friends, and family for support. He was capable of being a happy person, but he hadn't sensed happiness in so long, he felt he was incapable. [/font]

Kari frowned. Really, she needed to help him... it was just part of who she was. "Well, your lack of a pack might contribute to less control. You should either form your own or join one. I suggest joining. Packs really help you control the more vicoius side of your other shape. It's alot easier. She smiled kindly at him.":Don't be ashamed of what you are. You can't change it, so no regrets either. Don't think about the fact that you don't wanna be a wolf. You are one, so accept it, and you'll learn to enjoy the good parts of it." she nodded wisely. "Like stealing Mya's choclate.

Maktiwa shrugged,"I will join. Making one would not only cause me trouble, but it'd offer up fights between your pack, and I'd rather not be the leader if at all possible. Rather a mere member, or omega. To me, being an official of a pack, would only allow more power, which would in turn turn to corruption. " he looked up at the moon. "Accept? Enjoy?" he chuckled at those statements.
He shook his head,"You learn to enjoy pain, and accept the pain....That's all I have ever done. Lived with it, I do not plan to take an easy way out, although it's occurred to me on more than one occasion. One day, possibly, I will have something, or someone to live for. One day....maybe. Hope is all I have on my side." he smiled vaguely and chuckled again. "Your pleasure in being active, or athletic is good. But when you run from everything every second that you breathe in life, running, and activeness no longer becomes something you want. You merely sit down and look at the things you don't have, and would like to enjoy. I can kill, I can kill for no reason, and get away with it if I wanted. I will Kill...That is what I fear. In my form, if I seek revenge, or If I want someone dead. Who is there to hold me back? Not a single soul. "
He stepped forward again towards the moon. He held his hands out,"What you live for, and what I live for are very, very different things....You live, because you enjoy it. I live because, this is all I know. " he smirked, and shut his eyes for a small second before pulling back from the moon. He opened his eyes, "In this situation it's the Optimistic, that will always win. That'd be you. And for me, I'd be the Pessimist, always level behind in happiness, but always prepared for the disappointment. In ways of disappointment you loose, in happiness you completely and totally win...It's like negative charges." he bowed. "But I'd be happy to join your pack, if that is what you offer or want. But for a warning, when I become attached to something, friendship, a position, the list goes on, I am defensive of it. I protect my property and boundaries, with life on the line at all costs." his expression changed to a serious gaze as he looked at the moon again. He seemed to be almost completely there, but his eyes again, seemed distant. He was lost in his own world, a world of pain. [/font]

Kari tilted her head. "Whatever gave you the idea that I enjoy life?" She grinned. "People can be very depressed and never show it. You just need a little talent." Then she sat down.
"I'd love to have you in my pack!" she said excitedly. "But Imma warn you, you have to be totally dedicated to the pack. If any of us gets in a fight, the whole pack is there to back them up. You can of course always leave, but while your there, we need you one hundred percent." she frowned, thinking about the many people who had left since she had become Alpha... well, BECAUSE she was alpha. Something about a sixteen year old girl leading them ticked them off... Oh, right.
"Hopefully, the pack can come to help you enjoy it... and hopefully we can give you something to live for. We don't give up easily on something we become attached to, either. "
