Introduction
A plague has hit the Earth. So far over 60% of the population have been affected. There does not seem to be any cause, and it is unknown how the virus spreads. This virus is deadly with a mortality rate of 99% and the goverment have issued a level 3 catastrophic emergency, and are telling all survivors to stay in doors and to avoid all contact with others until it is deemed safe to do so. If someone in your household appears to have contracted the virus Do NOT approach them, call the emergancy services straight away.
The main symptoms are as follows:
Stage 1- High fever, tremors of the hands , headaches, a faint geometric symbol appears on the inside of each wrist
Stage 2- The geometric pattern spreads across the body, uncotrolable shaking, vomiting blood, hallucinations and loss of sight.
Stage 3- The patient falls into a coma. Followed by Death.
In recent updates a small percentage of the infected have pulled through stage 3 of the virus. Awaking from the coma with hightened sences and extrodinary abilities. It is not known how or why this has happend. Do not approch these changed until they have also been deemed safe, they may still carry the virus. You can tell these change from uninfected by the geometric patterns on their skin.
Again, Do NOT approach any of the infected or the changed. Good luck, and God Bless.'
After the plague spread across the earth killing a large percentage of the population there was chaos. The survivors needed someone to be angry at, they turned their anger and fear on the Changed, hunting them down.
Our story takes place after the initial wave of the plague. The Changed are waking into a world that has completly changed, and so have they. Now they are trying to survive in a world that hates them and discover how the plague has changed them.
The Changed find their way to a small community of other Changed, where they are protected from those who mean them harm and where they can explore their abilities. A few unchanged survivors live in the community, such as doctors and siblings, they are not trusted just as much as they don't trust the Changed. They also live in costant fear of catching the plague.
Types of Changed
There are three types of Changed abilities:
Physical- The body has been altered in some way, giving the Changed a physical ability, such as extrodinary strength, defensive abilities or speed.
Mental- The mind has been altered in some way, giving the Changed a mental ability, such as mental communication, invisibility or levitation.
Spirit/Elemental- This is the most uncommon type of Changed and are usually very strong. The body and the mind have been altered in some way, giving the Changed a spiritual or elemental ability, such as communicating with spirits or commanding an element, like water.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 4 authors
After several minutes he walked out of his small house with a cigarette hanging from the corner of his mouth. The smoke rose slowly as he looked around the community. His clothes were just about the same as every other day, a long-sleeved black shirt, and some unkempt jeans. He looked towards the sky and watched as several clouds slowly drifted by. He smiled softly and closed his eyes to feel the sun's warmth.
I wonder what today will bring for our humble community.
He thought to himself in silence as he took a drag and exhaled slowly.
Just as she thought that she spotted a dark figure against the morning sky. She was about to hunker down and hide, but then she shook her head. She was going to confront this person. He could be another changed and this could be the place she dreamed of ever since she heard of it... or it could be a trick. She bit her lip, contemplating her options, and sighed. She would have to do this. She took in a deep breath. Squared her shoulders and walked up to the figure. Her step faltered a bit when she reached him, the fear of him being a survivor crept back up to her mind.
"Is-" her voice cracked and she cleared her throat. Pushing down the fear and holding her chin high again. Staring up at him and trying to look stronger than she felt. "Is this the place for people... like me?" she asked. Kira lifted her sleeve to show the marking running up her for arm and that crawled into her sweater and down her back.
"Good morning sweetie!" She said in a high itched voice as she walked over to him. She spent about five minutes petting him before she actually got started with the day. It took her about an hour considering she liked to put on a ton of makeup. Once she was done, she ran down her stairs to get breakfast, but found an empty fridge. So she got on her leather jacket and walked out the door, locking it behind her. She began to walk down the sidewalk to buy herself some breakfast at the nearest coffee shop.

As she finished her last lap she stopped to look at thier little community, it wasn't that large, but they had made a simple life. Heading back towards the little village she spotted someone walking along the front path. Eyes widening in shock she stopped to look again, it was a girl, staggering towards the front entrance. Was this girl on of the Changed? Or was this just a clever trick by the survivors? Either way she needed to warn the others. Turning she sprinted to the community hoping, but doubting she would get there before the girl did.
"Yes, it is. This is the community for the Changed."
He said, as he motioned around to the buildings and all the surroundings. A small light of joy began to shine in his eyes, he than extended his hand out to her.
"My name is Chris Shade, i am the general Leader and partial founder of this community. And you are?"
(Sorry i was gone, my car has been acting up so i'm in the process of repairs)
"Yes, it is. This is the community for the changed." he said. Pride and joy lighting up his face as he motioned around. She could tell he either made this place or lead it, his happiness like a father's over a child.
She looked around her surroundings and saw that she'd been mistaken at first to think it was a ghost town. People began to mill about and one of them was jogging towards them right now. Kira tensed up at the newcomer, but didn't say anything, as she hunched her shoulders and pulled down her sleeve.
Finally, he climbed up a hill to see the community before him. It seemed peaceful and quiet, a place where he could live. He took a moment to enjoy the view, only to be interrupted by speaking. He ducked down to avoid being seen. Hiding himself behind a large bush, he listened to the conversation. Something about the community and it being for changed people or something along those lines. He crouched down, waiting for them to finish and leave so that he could make a quiet entrance.

Walking the rest of the way up to the two of them she nodded at the new girl and turned to Chris, lowering her voice. 'Can she be trusted?' She asked, she had to be sure.
Looking around she felt her skin crawl, as small spines pushed against her skin. Thanks to her abilities she turned into a giant pin cushion when she felt under threat, with small spines emerging from her skin. 'I feel like we are being watched.' I tell Chris, looking at him meaningfully, he knew when to take me seriously and when I was being parinoid. 'I'm going to go scout out the area.'
"I feel like we are being watched." She heard the girl say and Kira immediately went on defensive mode. Looking down she couldn't see her shadow anymore. She was invisible. She didn't yet know how to work it, but she was starting to think her body just did it when she felt threatened or really scared. The girl went off the scout and Kira felt her heart calm a little. Maybe she needed to learn not to be so scared of new people, but with who she was not it would be hard to trust people so quickly.
"Of course, report back to me when you find the intruder or signs of them. Do not act rashly, Lexi."
His voice became stern and his eyes matched with it. They became almost cold and calculating but did retain some hints of worry within them. He than focused completely on where Kira stood, his expression remained unchanged. His shadow twitched for a moment and than a small portion shot up and stopped just below his palm. It began to take shape slowly, as he stared in Kira's direction.
"Now tell me, did anyone else come with you? If i deem you a threat-"
He grabbed the shadow with his hand and in a moment he now held a pure black katana which he lifted and than rested the blade on his right shoulder.
"-i'll spill your blood here and now."
He glared at the girl and what little bit of life he held in his eyes, now vanished and they became just as dark as his blade.
I should go welcome her to the community! She thought. With that, she began walking towards them. Eventually, she was right by them.
"Good morning Chris!" She said cheerfully. "Who's this new girl?"
"Stop being so bubbley when he's clearly serious. Your so oblivious."
He said in a mocking tone, pissing people off was his past-time. He turned his gaze towards the unknown girl and took another drag from his cigarette.
"I'm Drake, the doctor. If you've pissed this guy off, i'd speak up right about now. Its too early for me to stitch someone up."
He yawned as he spoke, Drake normally wasn't up so early but today was different for some odd reasoning.
He grabbed the shadow with his hand and in a moment he now held a pure black katana which he lifted and than rested the blade on his right shoulder.
"-i'll spill your blood here and now."
He glared at the girl and what little bit of life he held in his eyes, now vanished and they became just as dark as his blade.
Her eyes grew wide and she was once again visible. She shook her head violently. "No!" she said quietly, "It's just me..." She eyed the sword and stepped back just a bit. Maybe this wasn't a place for her, she thought. Maybe this place wasn't what it seemed. She looked back up at his cold dark eyes and took another step back when a girl bounced up to them. She was even more startled by the girl's cheeriness. Just as soon as that girl arrived another man arrived. He didn't look so friendly. She began to feel overcrowded and clenched her fists.
She flinched at the man's cruel words but then he introduced himself and she relaxed just a bit.
"Kira." she said under her breath and looked away from these people. This place must be official if they had a doctor.
"Well thats a good enough answer for me. I apologize for the threat, but i must protect my community from all dangers. The unchanged and even some Changed attack us."
He sighed as he thought of past experiences, and than he looked to his left to see Skylar leaning on his shoulder with her permanent smile. His smile slowly faded as he stared at her, unmoving nor caring.
"I am not an armrest! And what the hell was that timing?!"
He began to yell out of annoyance at her, but he never meant any harm from it. Ever since she entered the community, Skylar's constant cheerfulness and bad timing has become a pleasant nuisance in his life.
Skylar hadn't actually noticed the seriousness, but she suddenly saw what Drake was talking about. Her smile faded just a little bit and she backed away from Chris.
"Sorry, I didn't know... I swear... Um..." She turned to the new girl "Hi Kira I'm Skylar. Sorry if I interupted some serious conversation you two were having."
She nodded and just shrugged. Then looked back behind her and saw a figure quite a ways away in the shadow. She clenched her fists and realized she'd gone invisible again, but their was really nothing she could do. Her powers were more defensive than to attack. She eyed the bushes and saw that they were still. Maybe she'd just seen the shadowed figure, but she still was invisible, which meant her body still felt threatened.
"Its alright, thats just your personality."
He said happily, her personality was one that more of the Changed community could use. Its always been so serious due to how hated they are. He looked towards Skylar as her ability activated once more and he looked to where she had before she went invisible. He took a couple steps to place himself next to where she was and he stared into the shadows in the distance.
"Well, lets see who our visitor is, shall we?"
He smirked as he outstretched his right hand and a shadow bow appeared. He crouched down to one knee and than reached into his shadow, when his hand came back out he held a long arrow with a jagged tip. He placed the arrow and pulled back as far as he could. He closed his right eye which was closest to the bow, as he was right handed the bow rested in his left and the arrow in his right. With a deep breathe in, he stopped moving and waited one second until he exhaled along with the release of the arrow. It soared straight into the bushes and stuck itself to a tree in its shadow.
"As long as the arrow stays in the shadow it can't disappear."
He said as he stood up and began to make his way towards it.
"Drake go back inside, your our only doctor and as such we can't afford to lose you. Skylar and Kira, i want both of you to come with me."
Skylar looked at Chris.
"Are you sure we need to? I mean, what if they're a really powerful changed person who is really dangerous. What if they feel threatened and attack us or something. Doesn't it seem scary, or dangerous, or something?"
Skylar didn't really know why she was scared, I mean how bad could it be, but this type of situation just made her upset. She knew that the person didn't pose much of a threat, but there was always that "what if.." in the back of her mind.
OOC: Sorry it's so short. I'm stumped.

Teardrops- Thanks! And no problem xD
Ivohex- Hey! Nope thats fine! The physical adaptations can take any form on the Changed's body, but idealy only on their own body. So your idea would fit in that fine!
