She felt her phone vibrate, causing her to let out a long sigh. She put her hand inside her pocket and glanced at the dark screen. The name "Angelo" flashed brightly, signaling he was calling her. She clicked the green button on her phone and placed it to her ear."Well look at who decided to call me asshole."She said looking at first Canon and then the girl near him."I KNOW I KNOW I'm awful. Excuse me for risking my life to help you with your little misson Mir." Namira rolled her eyes and waited for him to continue talking."WELL....I have some info that might interest you . Theres a pretty nice spot near where you are, an abandoned house, well foreclosed actually. The owners were some fraud business men, anyways if you go there I'm pretty sure you and your posse will be safe..for now." Namira let out a sigh of relief, giving a small smile to Canon before thanking Angelo and hanging up the phone.
"Well....we got a place..."

Canon smiled back at Namira, wondering how she managed to find a place so quickly. "Sure thing," he said, getting up slowly. He wasn't used to being bipedal after his transformation, and his stiff legs were quite hard to move. He let out a sharp, quick cry of pain as the wounds in his shoulder reopened as he pushed off of the ground. At least he was transformed when it happened. The extra fur, skin and muscle made the knife less harmful to him, so the most he was going to need was a stitch or two, if that. He let his arm hang limp at his side and limped off quickly toward the sound of the rest of the group by the house. "Hey, misfits! We got ourselves a temporary home!" He called out rather loudly. He glanced at Kaylee, who was just outside, and gave a little wave. Leaning on the doorway, he looked in at Ori and beckoned for her to join him. Canon smiled, shifting to look at Dani and Deirdre. "Follow me. I don't think you have all met the new girl." He waved a hand, indicating to them they should follow. Quickly he made his way over to Namira, stopping beside her to wait for the rest of the group. He looked over at Pandora, then back at the rest of his friends. He waited patiently, wanting everyone to hear what he had to say. Falling quickly out of his patient phase, he called out loud enough for anyone near the house to hear him. "This is Namira. She says she can help us out a bit, and I believe her. She's like us and can control elecricity, which is pretty sweet if you ask me. Also, she just got us a temporary home without having to break in!"

Deirdre just stared at Canon before narrowing her emerald eyes to the point they looked almost catlike, untrusting of the new person. She didn't even try to mask it before looking at Kaylee, "What do you think?" She asked, now putting her pale hands on her hips, tilting her head to the side, causing her ink black hair to sway and fall over one shoulder.

Rubbing ruefully at her right arm, Pandora huffed in annoyance at how itchy she was. Only a day or less away from transformation—she thought. No one could be entirely sure when the next time would be. She just hoped it wouldn't be at an inconvenient time, she didn't want to hold anyone back or cause any of them harm. Although, she thought she had more control over her form than Canon did. Glancing over to where he now sat, leaning against the tree, she was surprised at how well he'd controlled himself. He'd always warned them about his transformations, believing himself to be some kind of angry monster, when in reality, he'd just saved their lives. It was selfless. Surprisingly, he'd managed to keep his clothes in tact, albeit a little tattered and frayed. Whenever she transformed, her clothes were annihilated, she usually had to scamper away or fold her clothes nearby if she could manage it. It was one of the reasons why she didn't like anyone being nearby when it happened. Exchanging glances with Canon, she exuded relief and a small smile touched her lips. Did Namira represent some kind of crazy, X-Men institution that would whisk them away? “Let's get going, then,” She groaned, pushing off her knobby knees and straightening up. Apparently, her body protested and she slumped back against the tree.
“Namira, huh?” She smiled wryly. “I'm Pandora. Panda, and a werewolf, like him.” She hooked her finger in Canon's direction before grinning. There weren't many female werewolves around, none that she'd heard of anyway. She didn't want to admit it, but when Namira plucked the cellphone from her pocket, she leaned in hopefully—hoping for some kind of news that involved scooping them up somewhere safe. Was there anywhere safe, honestly? She didn't know. “How're we going to get there?”
(( -shrugs- I don't mind, as long as it continues the story going. Though, I was confused with where everyone was. Since at some point they were said to be in the house, then out of the house, then around the area of the house. Bahaha, I just tried to guess where they were. ))

"Kaylee? Deirdre?" she said.
She felt weak. Small sparks came from her fingertips and hit the ground. Her muscles tightened and she couldn't control it.
"Ow." she said as the energy was sucked from her body and went into using her powers.
She looked at Kaylee and Deirdre again.
"I. Don't. Feel. So..."
She didn't get to finish what she was going to say when electric waves went up her arms and through her whole body. When it was over Dani fell to the ground with her knees pulled into her chest and her arms around them shivering. She stared in front of her and tightened her arms.

"Unless any wants to stay here, feel like they can't trust me and in the end die because someone was worried I wasn't"who I said I was".She put quotations over the words and then crossed her arms.
"No ones going to force anyone to get in the van with me. Seeing how truthfully vans are kind of creepy but my bad for not having a Ferrari on hand that can seat so many people." She let out a chuckle and continued looking at them. They were dirty, smelly, and most of all scared. She could smell both fear and dirt on them as if she was a werewolf herself.
"So what's it gonna be kids?"

Glancing at Dani as she started talking, Kaylee squeaked, "Dani! Danikinz! Dei-Dei!" Kaylee's eyes were wide with panic and pain as she struggled to sit up.
"Personen!" Kaylee reverted to her mother tongue for a moment before she realized that the others likely had no idea what she was saying.
"Peoples!" She spoke in English this time, trying to get their attention.
Struggling into a sitting position, Kaylee stopped to hold her forehead into her hands in pain.

"Kaylee. Deidre. Help me. Please." she said quietly.
Pain burst through her body. She grunted in pain. Kaylee seemed to be in pain too. She didn't know what to do. All she knew was that she couldn't control what was happening to her. A spark came from Dani's fingertip and caught a dry leaf. The next thing she knew, there was a small fire next to her.
"Deirdre!" Dani shouted and stood up.
The pain from the shock was gone and she gained control over herself again. She was too scared to use her powers to try and extinguish the fire. Kaylee needed help getting out. She ran to her side and slid her arm under Kaylee's so that she could carry her to the house where the rest of them were.

“We... We have to go,” She choked, easing herself onto one knee. She balanced herself, and looked up at Namira. Truthfully, refusing the offer would be stupid. They couldn't hobble along, injured and lost, hoping they found another place to take refuge. They needed to trust someone, even if trust was hard to come by—they understood that full-well. Licking her dry lips, she finally found her legs and stumbled a few times, before catching herself on the tree. Her legs shook with the effort but she ignored them for the time being. Her eyes were drawn towards the house.

She put her hands inside her pocket and fumbled around for a couple seconds until she pulled out a key chain with Hello Kitty mini doll thing dangling on it next to her key. She rolled her eyes and stuck it inside of the van and started it up."Thank you Jesus, Buddha, and Santa!." She pushed down on the gas pedal and quickly drove off towards where she had left the kids.
When she got to them she opened the passenger window and said."Doors are unlocked pile on in people.."

"Sorry!" she coughed the word out as she tried to stand with Dani's assistance, flinching as minuscule pieces of fiery leaves and weeds brushed against her skin, which was already being covered in a dusty layer of ash.

"I need to go on my own and learn to control myself before I travel with you. I may not be able to find you when I figure things out, but I will learn to live on my own."
She turned back around and started running. The fire was still getting bigger and soon there would be firefighters. Someone was bound to see it and make a call. She wandered through the trees and didn't look back.

And then something else happened that caused her jaw to drop. She watched as Dani helped Kaylee to the van, and mumbled her own apology for being useless, but then Dani hopped out of the van and ran a few paces forward. She stared after her and reached her arm out, words catching in her throat. “N-No... we gotta do this together!” She choked after her, watching her retreating form. She didn't have the energy to chase after her. She couldn't do it. They needed Dani's abilities though, they needed her strength.

After loading everyone into the car, Canon swiftly counted the heads. One missing. He looked around frantically, realizing Dani wasn't with the group. Seeing the dark shadow of his friend walking in the opposite direction, Canon got off his feet and bolted over to her, skidding in front of her. "Dani, Dani, Dani," he whispered worriedly, "You can't leave us. We can't leave you. You have to stay. Dammit, Dani, whatever you're thinking you're wrong. We need you. The powers you have, we can control it." He laughed despite the situation. "Hell, if I can partly control my transformations, I'm sure we can help you with your problems. So please, Dani. Please. Stay." He looked hopefully at his friend, willing her to stay.

"Thank you, but did you not see the fire I accidently started? I could have killed Kaylee. I couldn't control myself at all. I appreciate the fact that you are willing to help me, but I can't help thinking that this is going to happen again. I don't want to expose all of you."
She stood there and thought aobut it some more.
"Maybe you're right. I can't go alone. If you're willing to keep me around then I guess I should stick around. Let's go." she said and ran to the car.
She turned around and smiled at Canon. It made her feel like a stupid teenage girl when she acted like that.
"Sorry guys. I wonder if my still developing powers has to do with the way I act. Like a girl going through..."
She didn't want to finish the sentence. The others probably already knew what she was going to say. She looked around to see their reactions.

Seriously, she was already sick of life, it was mildly sad because she was only seventeen, but hey. It really couldn't be changed.
