Kes let out an offended killy, flying over to another branch after she had taken the duch. He turned his back to her, turning his head and lifting his beak in a further display of offense.

"Oh okay. If you will be so kind as to excuse me." Kes smiled, hopping up. He ducked behind a larger tree, changing his form and shooting high up into the air. He flew away, coming back a few minutes later, wings flapping rapidly as he tried to stay aloft with a large mallard duck in his mouth. He finally made it to where Tracy was, perching on a branch near her while proudly holiding up the dead avian by its neck in his beak. Given his small size, his being proud only made him look rather fluffy and cute than predacious or remotely fierce.

only coughing occasionally, i looked at him. "yes, i like to eat duck. i will eat anything that once moved." i said, and then thought about it. "Actually, if it's still moving, i'll eat it too."

"Actually, you are talking solely about the mallard duck. No other duck can quack. They tweet. The mallard is the only one to quack." Kes corrected. "And do not ask me why I am asking you. It answers neither of our questions and postpones the response. so, do you or do you not like duck?"

the coughing continud to slow, pain making way for bewildermint. "duck?" i asked, confused. "as in, the thing that quacks and waddles around and tries to eat your sandwhich if you taunt it with it?" i asked, making sure. "why are you asking me if i like duck?"

sensing his distress, i added "and when i'm in this state, i can feel others' emotions. i know what you're feeling right now." i said, and went into another round of coughing. "not like i can do much to help you though." i muttered, and continued to cough.

Kes drew her into him a bit, rubbing behind her ears gently. He was having some difficulty thinking of an appropriate response other than undisguised horror, and rather went with his animal instincts to just show some affection and hope it helped.

"emotions suck. the Augers did emotional testing on me, to see if they could get rid of it. so when i feel strong emotions" i coughed for a bit "i get physically hurt. the assholes." i said, coughing more and felt tears from the pain of my throat being raw slip out.

"Being short has its advantages." Kes began. "One, as you are a prime example," he smirked. "I like kids. Being really tall can be intimidating. Being closer to their height, makes them more likely not to be afraid of you. Two, if you're big and strong, you're going to look at a little guy and most likely laugh." he shook his head with a smile. "If you think your opponent has a weakness, that in itself is their strength."

Kes looked thoughtful for a moment. "So, do the dog Shifters follow?" he asked. "They just happen to do some more exotic modelling?" He thought outloud before shaking his head. "No, I wouldn't be surprised. Shifting yourself so that you are shorter has its advantages too."

smacking the hand away before i started purring, i shot him a glare. "i am not short. you are just obnoxiously tall." i growled, getting onto the nearest highway. "there. we can follow this to the other coastline. we can lose ourselves in new york. it should be harder to find us there and we should be able to find some of our own kind there as well." i added.

"And you know how I just love girls who are practically midgets. Especially when they smell like kitty litter perpetually." Kes replied with a light-hearted grin as he stretched forward to scratch behind her ear. It was amusing simply for the fact that while Tracy may not necessarily have been petite, he was obnoxiously tall. "ASnd good question. Somehwere really far away, possibly?" he then asked.

"well, that makes sense. i knew some people in the military. they're all protective. so, where to?"

Kes blinked, his face breaking out into a grin. "Aw, but I so wanted to be arrested for being a pedophile. I mean, you're just so cute and all! How could I possibly resist someone who is seven years younger than I am?" he responded, exaggerating his movements and emotions to mock heartbreak. He then sighed and grew serious again. "Since I left home, I have only talked to my parents a few times, and that was after a random visit by them and a few coincidental meetings. The Augers aren't above harming them, and I dn't want them to think they are super imortant to me and use or hurt them. But I can't tell them that, so they just think I'm being spiteful for something." he explained. "Jackie was a good friend of my sister and then to my family. She works in the military too, so she's pretty protective of the people she loves and anybody wo hurts them in any way is not above getting their butt kicked. I am included in this."

"something about being cruel to your parents." i said, trying to remember. "about scaring them, ignoring them, etcera." i said, shrugging, backing up, and going the opposite way. "she said she was glad she didn't have to castrate you though. incase you were going out with me." i said, chuckling to myself. "where are we off to?"

"To avoid utter and ultimate annihilation." Kes replied in a squeaky voice after Jackie's car finally passed by, sighing with relief. He glanced up at Tracy with a questioning expression. "Explain?" he asked her. "Well, it depends. What did she say she was there for?" he asked, thinking, as if there were multiple things that warranted his assault.

running into my truck, i got in and sped out of there. "why the hell did we just do that?" i asked, after we were a good distance away. "she seemed almost nice." i said, looking around carefully, found a nook, and parked. the brush hid the car. after a few minutes, her car sped past us. i watched her go. "now explain." i said, turning to him.

"Oh, good, good. I'd have to castrate him." Jackie then broke out into a warm grin, which seemed to suit her features much better in any case. "He has always been good for those." she added as an afterthought. "Used to really tick off his ex, but he meant it well." She then cleared her throat in response to Tracy's following question. "Being rather cruel to his parents. Scaring them, ignoring them, ex cetra." she shook his head.
Seeing him coming out of the store from the corner of her eyes, she then glanced up, her eyes narrowed. She almost looked like she coukld have been some sort of Shifter, a predacious look on her face. Seeing her in turn, Kes only added to this attribute. He looked at her in horror before turning around and sprinting away as fast as she could. Surprisingly enough, her short legs kept up rather well with the significantly taller Kes. However, a few minutes later, he did manage to outrun her enough to dash back to Tracy's truck without being caught by the ever-terrifying Jackie. He hopped into the back seat and ducked down, yelling at Tracy. "Get in and drive!" he yelled, still watching for Jackie while simultaneously waving at the puma Shifter.

"At ease." the woman said, her voice commanding authority as she eyed up Tracy and her defensive stance. "I'm Jackie. I was a friend of his sister and now the family. He's in big trouble, so I have to kick his ass now. When I saw his Jeep pull in here, I figured it would be convenient enough to do it now." She paused and looked at Tracy curiously. "You're a bit young." she commented. "He's not doing anything stupid, is he?" she asked a bit pointedly, as if mentally adding something else to "kick his ass" for.

"sure. whoever he is." i said, eyeing her up and down. i had seen Augers in disguise before, but if this was a disguise, it was a pretty clever one. "who are you?" i asked warily, taking a step away from her, standing and shifting my position so i could drop the weapon and tackle the unknown woman incase the need may be.

"Is that a challenge against my avian vision?" Kes smirked jokingly. "Alright, then. See in a few, kid." he then added, heading into the shop. While in the shop, another truck pulled up into the parking lot. It was a small Ford Ranger and inside was an even smaller woman with blond hair and green eyes. Neither the vehicle or the woman appeared to have any resemblance to an Auger, particularly with the silly bumper stickers on her car, the baseball hat she wore, thoroughly worn clothing, and baby seat in the back.
Stepping out of the car, it didn't take long for her to notice Tracy with the bow and arrow, an odd look appearing on her face. She looked from Tracy to the car, to the arrow, and back again. Once close enough she stopped and asked, "You Jared's friend?" Her voice contained undisguised wariness and a slight drawl.

stringing the arrow, i followed him warily. "i think i'll wait outside and make sure no one touches our things. or does something from a horror movie, like when the killer hides in the backseat and then the victim lookes, doesn't see them, is in the middle of driving, the killer comes out, and screames and dies." i said, leaning on the frame next to the door, looking around.

Kes shrugged. "Eh, the guy is pretty old now and is in a wheelchair. I don't think he is going to do much." he replied. "Besides, I've been in enough before for him to have done something if he were part of the Augers. I'd just worry about coming back outside, being it is rather desolate." he adde, closing his trunk, weapons in hand as he walked into the shop.

Kes looked out the mirror behind him to make sure Tracy had gotten through safely and grinned. He continued to drive, finally coming to their stop at the small strip mall. It was only three stores across, most of them being odd stores. The weapons' shop was the last one in the row. Before it was an antique book store and a herbal remedies/witchcraft store. He stopped the car and went around back, grabbing the weapons as he waited for Tracy.

"road my ass. i wouldn't be able to follow this in my puma form. this is a frigging rabbit trail, not even a deer trail, a rabbit trail." i muttered, driving through. when it ended, i glanced back. everything was back in it's original place. i chuckled darkly.

Kes grinned and couldn't help but chuckle to himself. Out the window, he waved his hand in a 'yeah, yeah, like I care' motion. Eventually they came to the dirt road he spoke of, though it wasn't much of a road. In the season, the plants on the side of the road had sproated up and out, covering the "road" portion for the most part. As Kes drove through the dense vegetation, he had to slow. After he passed through, it seemed that each and every plant was back into the same place as it was before simply due to the density.

Kes started up his Jeep, leaving. About a mile or so up, he saw a van in the distance. It was black. He quickly turned around to come up to the window of Tracy's car. "Hey, in case something goes wrong, the shop is about forty miles down the road. Make the first left and then get off on the dirt road. When you hit where it's paved again, you make a right and go straight for the last ten miles. It will be on your left in the tiny strip-mall. Just follow me for now." he told her. Seeing her expression, he frowned and his face softened, figuring outwhat was wrong easily enough. "And, kid, it's going to be okay." he said softly with a reassuring smile before putting the Jeep into drive.

Kes watched her. "I have better eyesight than you, Sylvester. I know I can use a bow and arrow." he replied, rolling his eyes. Seeing her look, he put his hand on the bow, slowly taking it away. From past experiance, he had friends who wore the same look. The result were further holes in his walls and a trip to the hospital. "And fine, we shall take them with us, my feline fiend." he added, setting the bows, crossbow, and arrows into the pile of things they were bringing with them, which consisted of the machete and five other daggers aside from the ranged items. He then grinned up at her and looked over at vials. "Pansy." he teased. Walking over, he pointed to each vial, going from left to right. "Acid, liquid containing cyanide, liquid with aconitine, liquid with hemlock, copperhead venom, and green mamba venom." he said, with almost the slightest bit of affection for the last venom. "In other words, don't touch." he then grinned up at her, going to search for a box and padding to place the vials in. Coming back a few minutes later, he placed each one carefully in. Before shutting it. "The stuff that is good as a weapon goes in your truck. The stuff we're selling comes in the Jeep with me. Eventually, we'll probably just have to switch to one though." he shrugged, going out to his car with the weapons being sold, the poisons, and a bag of his things he figured would be necessary.

picking up a bow and feeling it, i loaded a bow and pointed it at a door. the string was perfect. "i don't see why we can't use this." i said, unloading the bow. "we can use it on sneak attacks. we both have good enough vision." i said, watching him through the corner of my eyes as i quickly loaded three, pulling them out onto the string. "unless," i added, lowering it. "you can't use it." i said, smirking. i loaded it once again. "besides, there is no such thing bows and arrows being a bad thing. you can spring so many traps with these things, it's insane. and they won't set off metal detectors. we can make the arrowheads something dipped in chemicals, like those poisons over on the table that i refuse to touch until they're labeled. we could kill a few dozen people with these. and they don't give off our position when you shoot them from the trees." i said, going on and on from a past experience, a glaze over my eyes as i went through the motion of loading and unloading the arrows. i could go up to shooting five at a time accuratly.

Kes slowly opened one eye which was closest to her, just watching her fora few moments. He then shifted his single-eyed gaze over to some of the weapons. "Why are you poking me when you haven't found everyting?" he asked teasingly with a smirk. "You missed the most important stuff." he said, poking her back and getting up. Upon doing so, he looked a bit surprised and blinked a few times before rubbing his temples. Getting up, he made his way over to one of the decrepit cabinets, grabbing a bottle of Aspirin and dumping a good four tablets in his mouth. Figuring he might need it later, he decided to pocket the medication.
"Now. Come with me, grasshopper. Your search was thorough, but not thorough enough." he grinned, making his way to the bedroom once more where he proceeded to move the bed away from the wall. Behind it was a very small little door, with a tiny knob and lock as well. It seemed too tiny for any full-grown human being to enter, let alone Kes at his massive height. Kes lifted one of the floorboards, and then a false bottom out from the space, where he then picked up a key and shoved it into the lock. He then opened the door easily and shifted so that he was no bigger than a small child, gaining some bird attributes unintentionally as he did so, with many feathers popping up on his arms, chest and lower body. It was a good thing, given that his clothes draped off of him quite lossely at this.
Kes crawled into the space, going in surprisingly deep. "Okay." he called back when he was completely in it. "I'm going to slide you out some stuff now. It's a lot so be prepared. And don't put anything in any bags until I get out." he finished. He then proceeded to slide out a total of seven swords; three broadswords, one cutless, one falchion sword, one machete, and one rapier. Then the daggers, which totalled eleven in number. After that came two very intricately carved bows, complete with two sets of fine arrows. Lastly came a crossbow, which he was barely able to fit out of the small entrance. Once he was finished, Kes came crawling back out of the space, standing up and then shifting.
Looking at all of the weapons, he looked rather sad and sighed. "Okay," he began. "A lot of these you can see are decorative or just aren't practical and can't come with us. Like the swords and the bows. The only thing there that can come is the machete. A little less than half the daggers can come. However, there is a weapons shop not to far out of town that will but them. These I have made sure to be in perfect condition, so I'm not too worried about that. But it will give a decent amount of money for the time being." With that, he placed the machete to one side and began to sort through the daggers that could be used.

groaning and looking around at all the pictures, i grabbed all of the ones mentioned, and started to flip over pictures. i stopped at the one that hung over his bed, pulling it down. i smiled. this must be his family. his parents, his older sister, her husband, his niece, and him. i pulled it out of its frame and put it in a hidden pocket, safe from any weapon, for safekeeping in the weapons bag. i found several guns, knives, and two dozen or so grenades behind all the pictures. i also found a few nasty looking viles filled with odd colored concoctions. those were put on the table, far away from the weapons bag, until they had labels on them. after raiding the cabinets, shelves, i turned to the fridge. shifting through, i found two more grenades. i opened the freezer, and found it loaded with large pizza boxes. i picked one up, opening it carefully. it was full of unmarked rounds. i emptied all of them into the bag. i checked the icebox, and found one last knife. i chuckled, tossing it into the bag as well. i went over to Kes, sat on the floor, and began the incessant poking that would wake anyone up.

"There's a gun under my mattress and on my bookshelf is Pride and Prejudice. It's partly hollowed out and there is a gun in there too. And in the trunk in the corner. There's a false bottom. That's got knives. And behind some of the pictures with..." Kes explained, his voice suddenly fading as he grew more fatigued and the world began to spin more. He closed his eyes to block out the spinning world, but wound up passing out instead.
Around the house were various pictures hanging on the walls. Most of them were rather dusty and of his family. In one particular one that hung with some sort of importance over his bed, it featured many people. In the very back of the picture, Kes stood, lurching over the other members of the family and alluding to how much he shifted just to reach a remotely average height. Of course, he was making a weird face at the camera. In front of him stood what appeared to be his parents, two jovial people with mostly gray hair. Next to them was a woman who bore resemblance to Kes in most ways except in height and the fact that she wore the Marines' uniform. Next to her stood a man slightly taller who appeared par Asian and wore the Air force uniform. Both had a broad grin on their faces and held between them a small child who grinned brightly at the camera, her front tooth missing. She appeared the epitome of innocence until one saw that she had a small water gun hidden behind her mother's head, pointing it at an apparently oblicious Kes.

"so, while you're sleeping the magic off, i get to go have a scavenger hunt?" i asked skeptically. i dragged him over to a couch, grabbed a random backpack i found, and put the knife in. i started to look around at the mess, and sighed. "this might take a while." i said, sighing. i took one step, and the floorboard flew up at me. i hissed and jumped back before getting hit. i opened it carefully. there was a rifle sitting underneath it, along with three rounds for it. it went into the bag. i continued my search, carefully.

"I don't need medicine; I'll sleep it off." Kes laughed, leaning on her further. "Magic is magic...is magic. And it is temporary...most of the time. I can easily identify this as the temporary kind. It's also probably not helping what little sleep I've gotten in the past few days." he babbled uselessly. "But I do need your elp getting to many sharp objects and other lethal weapons because they are hidden and I do not trust myself with sharp objects right now." Leaning down with his free arm, he grabbed a hold of an umbrella in a little bin with other umbrellas inside. He picked another one out, shaking it. A large - though safely sheathed - gutting knife slid forward and into Kes' ready hand. He no sooner gave it to Tracy. "Like this." he used as an example with a boyish grin.

chuckling, i took the key from him and open the many locks. "yeah yeah, i have a feeling i'm going to have to do this a lot for some reason." i said, pushing the door open and helping Kes inside. "now, what is wrong, that way i can cook something up to make you feel better." i said, trying to figure out his symptoms so i could make some medicine like i used to do for myself.

"Thank you. I love you, Tracy." Kes said in his impression of a little kid's voice. He slung his arm around her shoulder and leaned his head on top of hers in a thoroughly uncomfortable, but utterly amusing display of ridiculous thanks. Getting to the house, he grabbed the keys from his pocket. before him, the lock seemed to multiply and sway from side to side, resulting in him futiley stabbing at the door.

laughing, i got out of my truck, leaning on his jeep. "you know, instead of kissing ass, you could have just asked." i said, rolling my eyes and helping him to the house. "because i do not feel pity to people. i just find this damn funny." i said, still laughing while we made our way to the house. i rolled my eyes at the look he gave me. i could do it ten times better, easily.

"Did I ever tell you how much I love felines?" Kes asked Tracy, grinning sheepishly and trying to sweet talk his way out of dumping her on the ground before. "They're so graceful and sleek and beautiful - especially the ones that can change into humans - and just the perfect height in human form to help a poor, near dying man from his Jeep into his poor, shambled, old house." he smiled whiel giving her Bambi eyes - or, more appropropriately, sad kestrel eyes (also see: philemerson.deviantart.com/art/Kestrel-Gaze-80008956)

staring at the simple home, i grinned. it looked like he was rarely home, or just didn't care. either way, it seemed more of a home than the one i lived in at the moment, just because it was standing and had someone living in it. i pulled up next to his jeep. "yes, oh dying one?" i asked, tilting my head innocently.

Kes pulled up into a gravel drive way, which went back aways, eventually reaching a small shack that could barely be called a house, looking as if it was falling apart. They shingles were falling off, with even a decent sized hole in the roof. It was a one story abode excluding a small attic and had old, fading brickwork. It was obvious the bird shifter had little care for his home or spent very little time in it. Upon stopping, he rolled down his window, the world shifting as the glass moved downward. He stuck his hand out the window, waving it a bit as he was too tired and lazy to yell out.

sighing and hopping into my car, i looked around. it was a small town. nothing exciting happened, unless there was a town hunting trip, where i would have to stay inside. i chuckled darkly to myself. "well, Trace, you always did want a little bit of excitement in your life. to see the world. well, you're gonna see it alright." i muttered. i followed Kes to his house, trying not to scream at the silence that was pounding at my ears.

Kes, acting like a regular ass, pointed to his ears and shook his head in an "I can't hear you" gesture before tapping on the window, as if the glass was blocking off sound. It was dreadfully obvious that wasn't the case, but he half grinned/half smirked anyway. He slowly followed behind Tracy on the road, as to make sure she got to and from safely. Also because he knew he was going to need help getting out of the car when they got to his house and he didn't feel like anticipating her arrival. He couldn't see particularly well, but what he could make out allowed him to stay on the road safely enough. Pulling up to what was now her former home, Kes couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for the girl, as her situation all-around sucked. I'll bring her a duck tomorrow, he thought to himself.

"you're going to kill yourself." i snapped. "and i am not a kid! i am fifteen, sixteen next month!" i added. huffing, i stood and got back into my car. "i don't need one! i can drive well enough." i grumbled under my breath. driving onto the road, i started off to my house. entering it, i opened my mouth to shout that i was home like i always did, but realized no one was there to greet me like always. i sighed and ran up the steps to my room, shoving a book bag full of clothes, money, weapons, ammo, and my computer with a charger. i entered my parents room, grabbed anything neccisary, and a picture of the three of them. i sighed, shoving it in my bag as well. i ran downstairs and grabbed all the food that wouldn't go bad fast. looking at the house for one last time, i pocketed the key, just incase.

Kestrel's eyebrow rose in an 'are you serious' type of expression. He shook his head, getting out of his Jeep and walking over to the driver's side. He opened the door and wrapped his arms around Tracy, picking her up in a very crude mockery of the bridal style. He subsequently walked over to her car and placed her on the ground before walking back to his Jeep and locking the door, not giving her much of a choice in the matter. Putting the car in drive, he inched forward insistantly. "Kid, I've driven with a concusion before. Get in your truck and let's go. If you keep on worrying about me, I'm going to get my neighbor's dog on your kitty behind." he yelled through the window glass, not taking any chances and knowing fully well that she could hear him. "Besides, I'm betting you don't have a driver's liscense and I'm not risking my car."

hissing at the mentioning of a bucket of water, i glared at him. shutting the door to the truck for one last time, i sighed, pocketing the key anyway. i watched Kes as he made his way over to the jeep, with much trouble. "you look like you're dying. get out of the drivers seat. i'll drive." i said, lightly shoving him over to the passenger's side. "the moment you start driving we'll crash. come on. don't try to argue with my logic." i said, putting the bags on the floor of the shotgun's spot. i sighed, the grief still hitting me like a ton of bricks.

Kes let out an irritated groan. "Stop poking me, you irritating cat thing." he mumbled with a huff as he got up. He muttered something involving a bucket of water, though the sentence was otherwise unintelligible. Opening the door, he swung his legs over the side of the seat, met with a new sense of dizziness as he did so. Blinking a few times, he staggered over the vehicle, slowly hopping in. He didn't look quite fit to drive, but took out the keys and put them in the ignition regardless. With only two people for two cars, they didn't have much of a choice for who drove what.

"Well, I'm not going to remind you." Kes said in a very childish tone, sticking his tongue out at tracy but getting into the truck all the same. "So there. Ha. how about that?" he finished as he flopped down lazily on one of the seats. Positioning himself so that he looked a cross between an oddly placed bird and sleeping child.

"Fine, fine." Kes sighed, looking down as if her wanting to both help and have him somewhat protected was such a nuisance to himself. "In which case, I shall bum out in your car and direct you to both my Jeep and house ater we have so bravely gone to yours." he babbled with mock enthusiasm. He leaned up, steadying himself with the help of a tree before stumbling forward slowly. He stopped again to re-steady himself with the help of Tracy's shoulder, though pridefully and vainly making it seem as if he were only surveying the area before going on toward the truck.

"i'm coming with you. and my mind isn't changing. and trust me, i've seen what those Augers could do since my own day one." i said, sighing and picking up a bag. i scurried around the campsite, checking to see if anything was forgotten. i took my mother's necklace from my dad's front shirt pocket, and slipped it on. kissing it for good luck, i turned to him. "are we going, or not?" i asked.

Kes looked at her with a blank expression, blinking a few times. Then, all at once, he burst out laughing. "I don't think you give myself or the Augers enough credit." he stated simply once he had finished laughing. "I don't pass out very easily and have definitely had worse from those guys. Secondly, I am a pretty little bird. And pretty little birds can fly. And pretty little birds can see quite well. So I could fly up and see you from above. And meet you down here all nice and safely." he explained with silly little gestures. "Besides, the Augers can kill me anyways. I don't need to be weak for them to do that." he grinned brightly.

Kes grinned wryly. "In case something happens, I can fly away. Because I'm just such the adorable little bird like that." he replied. He shook his head. "I don't need an escort. Really...That magic was nothing. Just to stun. If he really wanted to do damage, I'd bee in the van and on the route to their headquarters. I've had worse." he grinned a tad bit sheepishly, though the fatigue still was prominent in his expression. "Besides," he began, laughing a little. "If you were going to do that, I'd just lounge in the back of your truck to save us the gas money."

"we can just stop by my house after." i said, gauging his facial expressions with how me normally looked. "you're pale. what did they do to you, exactly?" i asked.

"Mmmhmmm..." Kes managed to reply, not feeling particularly well from the magical shock. "It's fine." he mumbled simply, watching her. "You should keep that away real good when we fight. Even a toughbook don't stand up too well against magic." he stated absentmindedly. He then nodded to her second statement. "My Jeep is nearby. I have some stuff at my house that would come in handy too. I'll go there and get my things, while you get yours, if that's okay with you." he said to her, his hooded eyes looking up at her questioningly.

tow of the men were distracted by a faint sound, and dropped the deer. it fell on one of their comrades, distracting them with his angry shouts of protest for him to get a hand to get out. getting Kes on my back, i sprinted far away from there. stopping at the campsite, i changed into clothes and hopped out into the night. "what happened? i heard something that sounded like a struggle." i said, opening a bag and searching everything throughly, listening for any humming or beeping. i plucked a few things off of the first bag's weapons and technology, and destroyed them. i did the same with the other bag. "okay. now that we're not being listened in on or tracked, we need to get out of here. they'll see where the tracking devices stopped. get in the truck. we can go to my house for a little while but we'll have to leave again. they'll figure this all out." i said, grabbing both my brothers and father's wallets, where identification and money was. i pocketed them into my own bag. i walked over to the drivers side.

Kes did as she said, shifting a bit more so that he was smaller and less noticeable before doing so. Of course, he also shifted his eyesight and hearing. As quietly as possible, he opened the back door to the van, praying the driver was too distracted looking on at the others. He crawled almost silently into the back, any noise he made too soft to be heard under the ever so slightly muffled yells of the men hauling away the deer. In the back, he saw nothing. No backpacks or anything remotely useful. Not even a weapon. Just a few cages, which he had to carefully climb over as he made his way to the backseat. Had not he been in the position he was, Kes would have sighed with relief. in the back, there were multiple backpacks, laying around for the taking. He reached down quietly and slowly, his hands gradually curling around the strap. He looked up to make sure the driver didn't see him. He hadn't. Kes risked a glance back down and was suddenly startled as a rough hand grabbed his arm.
Looking up in a frightened surprise, his hazel eyes met with the driver's cold blue ones that almost seemed to glow in the dark of the night. "Dumb idea, kid." the man said, his voice low and gravelly. Where he made contact with Kestrel's skin, the younger man felt almost an electric current travel from the man's hand, up his arm, and to the rest of his body. It was a strange feeling, almost as if he was slowly being eaten by acid, yet tickled at the same time. As a result, he dropped the backpack on the ground, paralyzed and stunned and still being shocked.
Come on, man, he suddenly thought to himself, something occurring to him. A faint memory flashed into his mind. Don't be a wuss...He should have a mark on his chest. It fuels him... With a spontaneous jerk, Kes managed to force himself in the man's direction. Not expexting this, the auger loosed his grip and stopped his magic for just a moment - all the time Kes needed. With one swift motion, he swung his fist hard into the man's torso. This did more than knock the breath out of him, but interrupted his magic, scrambling every supernatural fiber in his body. Tying loose ends, Kes quickly brought his fist down on the back of the man's upper neck and head. The Auger crumpled down in his seat, motionless.
Kestrel didn't need to see it twice. He grabbed two of the three bags and ran out of the car as quickly and silently as possible, making sure not to be seen as he made his way over to Tracy once more.

grinning innocently, i chased after a deer, herding it towards the highway. the last van crashed into it. everyone but the driver loaded out. they had it surrounded, guns pointing at it warily incase it was a shifter. "go get a backpack." i hissed. if he could grab just one, we would probably have the right tech to get this done. the road was dark, with the lack of streetlights. i stood there, waiting. hopefully this would be a long enough distraction.
"where the hell did this deer come from?" one of them snapped, kicking it lightly.
"the roads are dark. it might have heard one of those damn pumas and ran. it's a normal, stupid animal." another said.
"well, everyone, let's try and drag this thing over to the side of the road. it's heavy." the first one said. all of the men picked it up and brought it to the far side of the road very slowly.

Kes frowned, still not thinking it was such a great idea to go after the vans at the moment. "Less than five percent of the world's population is like us. I think we're outnumbered." he muttered, shaking his head to himself. While normally a happy, jovial person, he seemed to suddenly become jaded and wary toward the matter. He thought for a minute, wondering if any of it was a good idea at all and if he should even let his friend proceed. "Fine." he sighed. "But if I even think I see you about to do something s
