Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kat had finished with her morning classes late. Her last professor had held her over and she was back in a sour mood. She didn't have as much time as she wanted in her apartment. Plus her paratment was starting to piss her off. She figured the next best thing was to go into the nearby forest. She looked at her phone and saw she was late to Curtis's class but she couldn't face him without some alone time so she found a nice lonely tree near the stream that fed the lake and sat down to think.

Jeff rolled his eyes walked over to Yakov to slap him on the butt. "Get your lazy a** out of bed, I want to go shopping!"

Jeff bent down and picked Yakov up. He quickly regreted it, as his left side decided to erupt into pain. He quickly set Yakov down and winced. "So, I'm healing just fine...except when I try to pick things up...ow..." He held his left arm against him with his right.

Katra did not come to class. Was she still mad? Curtis had a hard time remaining calm and focused while he instructed and tended to his other pupils. Though he remained calm, however, he had to end class early. He had to find Katra. So what if she was mad - what if those people had come back for her? Once the students were gone and the door was locked, he started towards Katra's apartment. No real rationality drove him there. It was his sixth sense.

Conveniently enough, it turned out that Luka did not have a class until the afternoon. Either that or she was lying. But it didn't really matter. If Luka wanted to sacrifice her grades to go on a hunt, it was not his place to correct her. By eight they were at City Hall to pick up Connor's truck along with some new guns and more knives. From there they got doughnuts and coffee and continued into the forest. Connor smoked as they drove and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Kat had daydreamed off into neverland. When she came to her senses the thought of her other self from last night was on her brain. Somehow her thoughts lead her to wonder if it was just turning that made her evil. She made sure that she was far enough away from the school, and deep into the woods before she tried. She had folded her clothes in a neat pile beneath the tree and transformed.

Jeff smiled and stretched out his left arm. It hurt but it definatly wasn't as bad as it was last night. "Well, come on then, do you need some clean clothes?" Jeff was alreadu stepping back over to the door. He crossed his arms and watied for Yakov.

"Naw, I'm good...unless of course you're implying something, in which case you can just go to hell." He kissed Jeff on the cheek. "Now, let's go make sure you don't go destroying your gorgeous hair and maybe you can buy your b***h something nice."

"Lighter?...wait a second." Luka rolled down the window. "Stop. There's one here. She smells unpleasant too..."

Connor hit the breaks, perhaps a bit too hard. It was fortunate that his coffee didn't spill. But he was taking Luka's word for this. He pulled the gun out of his other pocket, doubled-checked that it was loaded, and rolled down the windows before turning off the engine.

"Which way?" he asked.

Kat thought she heard something nearby that sounded like a car. She lifted her head up and looked about but could see nothing. She caught the faint smell of were and wondered if Jeff or Curtis was around. Her ears perked up and she started towards the scent.

-------------------------

"You bet your a** she is, now hurry up and get your a** in my car," Jeff patted the top of his car before he slipped inside, with the black leather interior. He started the engine and waited for Yakov.
