The air stood stagnant, the Autumn leaves lifeless among the branches as the sun started to give way and set as if to beckon the night. A slight gust of wind disturbed the quiet peace of the forest, leaves falling and starting to decorate the forest floor. Along the edge of the forest is a simple chain-linked fence that has stood against the test of time, strong and vigilant even as the passage of time takes its toll. Inside this haven lay nothing influenced by man. The ever present trees remain undisturbed, watching in silence as it stands against the breeze in the air. The dwindling light giving an orange hue as figures emerged from the heart of the forest.

The crunch of leaves were the first sounds to reach Frost's ears. Blinded and dazed, he stumbled around as the light faded from his eyes before leaning against a tree. The smell of autumn wafted through the air as he slumped to the forest floor and laughed. He laughed and laughed and laughed as he sat against the tree and looked towards the south. He started muttering to himself as he stood up again, his eyes adjusted to the new world before him. "Free at last. Feels like I was running for hours." Looking around he saw no signs of any others like him. Thinking back, he recalled his escape. The Hedge an ever winding labyrinth as he found a single gate after racing through several corridors of brambles and thorns. Racing through the gate, a blinding white light engulfed him and then he found himself amongst the forests of the other side. Glancing around, he thought of hiding out in the forest. Then a bout of paranoia struck him. A thought of his captor raged in his mind. Instinct told him to keep running. Running until the forest itself was but a speck on the horizon. And so he ran, reaching the edge of the forest before stopping at the fence. A low growl escaped and he stared past the fence itself. A small town just beyond a field greeted his gaze with an alluring light. A smile graced his face and he looked around, ignoring the fence and devising a way to climb over without touching it. "Logs? Maybe. Climbing the trees? Could work."

Leyla was just in the town, again in some club partying and having a good time. A lot of men approached her and tried to hit on her, she was not surprised, she knew she was beautiful and horny guys can't resist gorgeous women. She let them buy her drinks and danced with them, however she than smiled and declined politely when they asked her to come with them. She sometimes agreed, but not tonight, tonight there was in the air. She felt she needed to stay in large crowd, safe from THEM, safe from Her. She shakes her head, forgetting her thoughts, and continue drinking and dancing.
After awhile, she approached one of the men and flirts with him and finally manage to convince him to take her home. Leyla always manage to do that with human males without giving them any favor for the favor. It was just her fae look alone under the mask that "hypnotized" the male to be convinced. This is why she is very social and charismatic person.
Leyla looked outside from the window of the car, they were driving through the forest near the fence that people just thinking they blocking the path to hunting grounds. However, Leyla knew what was beyond that fence, she felt quite strange being near it, however now she noticed that there was a change in the air. Like the fence is bringing something. Suddenly, she noticed something behind the fence, a figure. She told the men who was driving, "Stop the car here....". The man looks confused, "Here?". She nodded, "Yes, I live not far from here....also, I need to walk a bit...". The man nodded, he couldn't much disagree to Leyla, but he looks disappointed a bit. Leyla got out of the car and the man drove away. She walked toward the fence, gazing at the figure behind the fence until it was clearer and clearer to her that it was a person there. She reached a distance that they can hear each other and said, "Hey, you there.....cross over quickly, you don't want to stay there long time....".

Tyreseus had day to day business, down to a science, every week he got his payments from the stores he owned or protected. Next we would bring in the trouble makers, those that had broken his rules, or impeded on his territory. Their fear was one of the main things he fed on, murderers, carjackers, arsonists, drug dealers trying to sneak a little money, or a traitor that broke his rules; all these things were fed upon then got rid of after he tortured them to get all he could out. He found it funny that he thought of himself as the modern day godfather; he took care of his people and took care of those that wronged them.

He loved new toys though, the best tech on the market, whether it be useful or not he had to have it. Usually stealing from tech stores was enough but when the fun stuff came to town then that’s when he started planning, and with his seeing powers his plans went off without a hitch. Of course he had to find humans that had certain skill but what couldn’t be taught, was hired and he had a lot of money for that. There were the times he had to plan bank robberies, stealing weapons, or importing hard to find things. His business was run clean, no drugs, no smuggling humans, and certain manners with people we had business with.

The protections against his enemies were in levels in his tower, the first floor was where most of the business was done houses, jobs, business permits, and insurance were there for a small fee and a little more money each month, if you want to see the boss you will have to sign a contract with putting whatever happens on the signers head. That’s where they had to go through the metal detectors, and be patted down, that should get rid of most weapons and most hunters should not. The elevator was like a giant tanning bed with four of the six walls with tanning lights, just so the vampires would show their true colors and could be taken care of. When you get to the meeting floor you meet up with his best guards wearing jewelry with cold iron in them, and then one will always go to shake your hand, this is where the werewolves get found out the ring that you hand shake has a small needle that is coated in silver and can only be felt by a werewolf. Finally they get to the room where business is conducted going through a door with chunks of iron nailed into the door frame, a few floors down from the pent house if you tried going through the meeting room up the stairs to the only way into the penthouse. If they want to try the violent way you would have to fight your way up with traps and guard’s shooting you with the best things you can buy or steal.

Not to mention Tyreseus three best men who he gave the ability to see through masks, two with him one on the ground floor. The triplets have been with him from the start, and are his right hand men and his butlers. He has started looking into the generation, but hasn’t found anyone that he would trust yet.

Solanine's eyes fluttered open to dank half light, her. Her nose smelt the rotting leaves and underbrush, making it twitch. She gingerly sat up, taking in her surroundings. She was in some forest, alone. That means she made it out, alive and relatively whole. She was free again. Solanine flopped down into the leaf litter and just laid there, trying to grasp that fact. She had almost forgotten what freedom was like. It was a new feeling for her, like a rebirth. She wanted to bask in the feeling for as long as she could. But a twig snapped to her left and she froze, eyes wide. She heard another one, much closer than the first. Whatever it was, it was approaching fast. She was up in a heartbeat and and sprinting away from the noise, still startled from her escape and desperate for her freedom. Even if it wasn't the Fae, she still didn't fancy being eaten or attacked.

Her lungs burned and her head throbbed as she moved through the forest, never looking behind her once. She couldn't afford to go back, not when she had freedom again, even if it meant using every last bit of her energy to run. She could already feel her legs aching but she had to push harder. She crashed through a bush and saw the large fence, and beyond it, a town, a beacon of hope for her. She looked at the fence and blinked a couple times. It wasn't too tall to climb but she didn't want to take any chances in her escape. A broken anything could result in recapture at his hands. A shudder ran through her body. Never again.

Looking up, she noticed a tree branch that hung just enough away from the trunk to slide off of and land on the other side, with relative ease and safety. But the tree was slick with few strong branches, not good for climbing, even if she had claws. Plus it was a bit odd how it was perfectly tilted, like someone planned it. She walked around tree a couple times, hoping to find some answer in the smooth, paper like bark. Shaking her head, she decided to move further down the fence and maybe find another place to get over at, a hole or something like that.

Frost heard a voice from the other side of the fence, cutting off his rambling as he focused on the figure approaching him. "No need to tell me twice." With that he began to climb a nearby tree, small branches snapping off as he climbed. Ascending ever higher, still numb from the cold and unadjusted to having a body again he climbed slowly and gingerly until reaching above the fence. From there he stood above, a clear jump over and he would make it. He twitched a bit, taking a few deep breaths before finally leaping over. A hard impact with the ground and Frost crumpled over. Grunting for a moment before standing he turned to the woman now beside him and spoke. "Now that I'm over, where to?" He gave a smile, his expression one of amusement and obliviousness. He looked at this woman with an absent stare, his eyes wandering around the mortal world with wonder. His mind felt clouded and blurred as he waited for this woman to speak, Frost trying to recall anything from before his escape.

Leyla watched him as he started climbing a nearby tree to the fence, when he seems struggling she wanted to say she can do something to help him, however it seems he already made his way on top of the fence. She smiled and she gave a loud sigh when he jumped from the top to the ground. She thought, 'Ouch, that might have hurt a bit'.
Finally as he straighten himself, dusting himself from the run and climbing, she nodded. "Well....first, you need some clothes and maybe a good bath.... In our court, the spring court, we have some rooms for new changeling....". She motions him to follow her as she walks towards the town. "I know you have lots of questions, believe me, I was in the same boat as you are now....although, I believe it is not good to hang on the past, you need to live in the present, enjoy the life you have now".
When they reached the town, Leyla leads him to the largest building there. It seems like a city hall, but inside it looks like a court and an hotel combined.
Inside Leyla quickly approached someone, which the man can see under his mask he is a changeling too. Leyla exchanges a few words, got a key and walks back to the new runaway changeling. She handed him a key, "It is the guest room for any new changeling, you will find some clothes and there is a bath there....". She winks, because that was the first thing Leyla did when she returned to the mortal world, soaked in a bath for a few hours. "After you will feel good and ready, you will come down and we will answer your questions but you will answer some questions we have too....". Leyla shows him where the room is and quickly left him alone.

Paddy didn’t get why the boss always sent his newest guard on what the older guards called “the park ranger job”. Which was to sit in a car with a potential guard recruit and pick up anyone, or at least give them a business card to whoever came out of the forest. The boss only said that he had some extended family in the woods and that anyone that came out of there was to be given the same chance to meet him. It had been relatively boring, until the hot blond was dropped off, they called one of the triplets, he said one of them was to follow her on foot or get car license, the other was to stay in the car in case of others.

Paddy stayed in the car while the new guy followed, the new guy was impressed where the woman was staying, but he had heard about this place from Paddy, the words to use, some kind of secret code that these people spoke. The only time not to speak in the code was at this place, so he wrote the message on the paper. It said that if you want a taste of the big city he could get him a house and a job within twenty four hours, to call the number on the business card. He followed the guy to his room slipped the letter under the door and walked away.

Back at the car Paddy saw movement in the forest, he got out of the car and yelled “if you’re being hunted then my boss can help you. I have a rope if you need help getting over the fence.” He waited by the car getting the rope out of the trunk. Tonight had been eventful, a member of a rival syndicate and two potential recruits, it was nights like this that he liked the park ranger job.

The mind is a strange place. Something feels missing but everything is right. A nagging paranoia drove into frost as he followed this woman, occasionally stopping to make marks on the ground absentmindedly. He dug into his heels every so often. It was a trail, but not an obvious one. Every crunch of a leaf, every snap of a twig and Frost made a mark. At times leading away and others as he just followed the woman before him. Before he knew it they had arrived inside a large building, a key and a wink from the stranger. He smiled a bit as he spoke, looking around for an empty room. "Alright. I... I don't remember much. Any idea where we are?" He gave a confused look, finding the empty room and unlocking the door. "Nothing here feels familiar." Looking inside, a small room with a set of clothes freshly cleaned and pressed and waiting. "Thank you for bringing me here." One last smile and he went inside, alone in his room as he sorted through the fold of clothes.

Sorting through the clothes, a notable look of distaste grew on his face. None of these clothes felt right. He shoved this aside, mumbling to himself as he went into the restroom. "I can buy different clothes. These are just temporary." Looking inside, Frost stared at himself in the mirror. An unkempt man, frozen and numb stared back at him. His skin blue, ice forming at his fingertips. He tried to recognize himself but nothing came to him. He stared at the bathroom mirror for several hours and asking himself who he was before resigning and grabbing the spare set of clothes. Changing out the rags he had he discarded them and stepped outside in a simple white button down shirt and blue jeans with an old pair of sneakers. A sigh escaped and he muttered to himself again. An old tune escaping his throat as quietly sang. His voice, even quieted sounding soothing and calming. "When I think of 'home' I think of cherry pies. When I think of 'home' I think of mulberry trees. When I think of 'home' I think of butterflies. When I think of 'home' I think of bumble bees..."

Leyla was waiting at the lobby. She knew the feelings of new changeling when they escaped and it is her job to help them get into their new life very slowly and calmly. She gave the new guy as long as it takes for him to gather himself up and arrange his thoughts. Which took him several hours, she chuckles. Well, it took her an hour at least either to believe it isn't a dream or something magically from her keeper that she just dreamed she escaped. Some new changeling she met did thought it was a dream.

Suddenly, the new guy came downstairs humming a tune. She smiled and walked to him very calmly and slowly and approached him, "Well, I see you feel good now.... Now, for the question where you are. You are back. You came back from Arcadia, you were captured by the Fae, which are mischief and evil as you might experienced there with your capture. Or as we like to call it 'The Keeper'. We all here around you were once been captive by Them, and we managed to escape just like you. You are now back in the human world, but as you've seen your reflection and ours "true" look, we are not exactly humans either. We call ourselves Changelings, humans who were taken by the creatures of the Fae and escaped but we changed during our captivity, we got as some say 'gifts' or 'curses' as others say".
She always starts like this, and she becomes quiet for a moment to let it sink in for him, and meanwhile thinking what else to say. Than she decided to do it by questions and answers, "Ok, what questions do you have that I didn't answer yet?".
