Jasmine smiled, "Well good because you're not the only one." She said and watched as James threw an arm in front of her in a protective manner. She watched the bushes nervously until a cute little bunny popped out, "Be careful, it might sense fear." She said not quite able to hide her amusement. She stepped past him and then held up her lantern, "Well I think the trail is still here." She said as she spotted some more broken branches and foot prints along the way. |

James shot Jasmine an irritated look before lightly knocking her with his elbow. "Shut up. It freaked you out too, don't think i didn't see you jump." he teased her before turning his attention back to the path. James had never been this far out before and it honestly made him a little nervous. "Why are you so protective over this girl?" The question slipped out before he had a chance to think about it. He'd never seen anyone react like this to someone they had just met.

Jasmine stuck her tongue out at him playfully, "I did not jump, I merely stepped back a little ways." She said as she folded her arms. At his question, she frowned "Honestly I keep thinking what if it was me? I'd like to think that someone was searching for me instead of just forgetting about me." She said quietly as she mused over the question. "That and she was taken in my own home, I have to make it right to her somehow." Jasmine added after a moment. |

James listened to her words for a moment, taking them in. "It wasn't your fault she was taken. Who is this guy anyway?" He continued his way down the path, pushing branches away from them so they could walk somewhat peacefully. The moonlight gave him a sense of calm despite his night time energy and it was becoming quite relaxing. Now he could understand why Ariel loved the moon so much.

Jasmine frowned and tried to think if she had even heard him mention a name, "I don't know, he never said." She said eventually. "All I remember is he was brutal, he didn't even seem to feel any pain when I hit him." She muttered under her breath. "He kept saying he would sell her...oh Mythos...I think he was going after her because of what she could do. Kayley is like us, as far as I can tell she was able to burn him a few times but this is...this is a lot worse then I thought it was." Jasmine said quietly. Why hadn't she put the pieces together sooner? Supernatural creatures being sold on the black market..there had been rumors sure but she had never actually seen something like it until now. |

James stopped in his tracks as Jasmine put two and two together, his heart leaping up to his throat. He had never heard of supernaturals being sold like that. It was hard for him to even imagine. "Well then we better get moving. If we miss them, you'll never see your friend again if she's sold." He frowned and quickened his pace as the move through the woods.

Jasmine frowned at his words, "I don't want you to get in trouble. I mean this is a big deal, if we were somehow found out then you could get hurt." She pointed out as she hurried to join his side. "Who knows what these guys are doing to people like us." She added and paused when there was another loud noise up off ahead. Maybe it was a rabbit again? Yet Jasmine wondered if she would even be that lucky twice in one night? The Blood Moon Festival was occurring this week so it could be anything that could be coming through the woods. (It can be whatever you want btw  ) |

James was just about to respond to Jasmine when a loud noise in the distance caused him to freeze. Slowly taking a few steps forward, leaving Jasmine at a safe distance behind him, he moved towards to bushes. Before he could react, a wolf jumped out and pushed James to the ground, the knife flying out of his hands and falling a few feet from him.
Memories of that night flashed through his mind, clouding his vision. The same moonlight streamed over his body, the same trees surrounded him.
All of a sudden, the struggle seemed to be over in less than an instant. James opened his eyes to see the dead body of a wolf lying next to him, blood dripping down his fingertips. Claw marks showed across the wolf's throat and he stared in horror. Had he done that? Slowly pushing himself up, he stared down at his hands, completely forgetting that Jasmine had been there for it all.

Jasmine frowned and watched as James stepped forward, her heart started to beat a little faster. Then there was a wolf, and in seconds it had pinned James to the ground. Jasmine had just been about to hit the wolf with her lamp when something happened. James's hands started to shift and change into long deadly claws. It was over as soon as it had begun, Jasmine could only stare in awe at what James had just done. She wasn't the only one, James looked distinctively unnerved. "I'm assuming you didn't know you could do that." Jasmine said quietly as she studied him curiously. "How new are you to all of this exactly?" She asked as she moved to join his side.

James jumped at the sound of Jasmine's voice and he whipped his head around to look at her. His hands shook as he rubbed them against his cloak, trying to get the blood off of his skin. "No...no I didn't." He forced himself to stand and shoved his hands into his pockets. At her question, he looked up at the moon and shrugged. "It's been a month. That only means I have two more until it completes." A frown slid into place as he though back to his father. He'd have to tell him, otherwise when he found out, it could be too late.
He shook his head, bringing himself back to reality. "Come one, we should get moving. He wouldn't have been alone."

Jasmine frowned and studied him carefully, "Until what completes? You're being very cryptic which I understand." She said as she joined his side and then glanced back at the dead wolf's corpse. "It's just if that hadn't been a wolf, I'm a little worried about what might have happened. I know you're still figuring things out but I've met a lot of supernatural creatures in my lifetime and you remind me of a kitsune. The ability to heal, sharp claws...plus the time table. Maybe I can help?" She offered gently.

James pulled himself to a stop suddenly when she mentioned what he was, feeling his muscles tense with every passing second. His turned his gaze to her and irritation clearly showed through. "Don't say that out loud. Not again." He had already broken his father's promise of not letting anyone else know. First it was Ariel and now this woman. The last thing he needed was some passer-bye overhearing them and telling the guards. When she offered to help him, he frowned and continued walking. "I'm fine. I've gotten used to everything else by myself, I can take care of this too."

Jasmine rolled her eyes, "We're really deep into the woods. I highly doubt there are any guards nearby. If anything there's probably only wolves and harmless bunnies. Besides I think it's a good thing to bring up, what if that hadn't been a wolf James? You're only just starting to understand your powers and I think it would be a good idea to know what to expect." She pointed out as she moved to join his side. "If I were you, I'd want to know everything about my powers." Jasmine added under her breath sounding a little disappointed.

James glanced at her over his shoulder and sighed. "I only blacked out, it's not a big deal. How could you even help me anyway? From your tone, you don't even know that much about yourself." He knew he was being rude, but when it came to talking about his powers, he became oddly protective. Maybe it was his subconscious telling him to listen to his father or that's just how he always was growing up.

Jasmine shook her head, "Maybe not but I know control and what it takes to be disciplined. Learning how to use your abilities with finesse takes years of practice. Why, if I wasn't careful with my abilities I could kill someone or drive them mad." Jasmine admitted with a frown. "And you could cut someone to ribbons...all I'm saying is that you might want to consider getting some sort of training." She continued carefully.
