The room was dark with blackout curtains on the windows, the wallls were covered in what appeared to be very old tapesries of leopards and there owners, or could they be themselves, the furniture consisted of rod iron, a large four poster commanded the room, its curls and posts honed to a sharp edge, spaced around the room were tables covered in a variety of things, one covered in the oils and creams she used on her leather and whips, on another a pile of neglected cat toys, which she had grown bored with, on yet another table was the making of were-leopard hunting toys, and dominating one wall were long deep gouges in the wall where she had first marked her territory when entering this house.

Pacing the room Luna was aggitated at the fact that her mistress was no longer to be found in the house, she was not happy with the change, pacing back and forth she tries the door again, her mistress had locked her in it must be something she didnt want Luna to know

Luna heard the return of the people, but sensed a difference in them all, she wanted out so she could investigate the clan, she was very uncomfortable leaving them to others to care for, she was ready to pounce through the door when she heard footsteps coming, perking up it was Desi's, getting up from her crouch by the door she walked into her mistresses arms, and as her mistress clung to her fur she closed the door. Luna pulled Desi to the big canopy bed and lay down with her, she knew what it was that was bothering her mistress the day was getting close to the anniversary. The aniversary of when Desi had lost her last family to an attack, there clan had been demolished by a pack of humans looking for the secret to shapeshifting, they hadn't wanted to accept the fact that it is genetic, no they wanted to believe it was magic or there skin, as it was with the roane people, none of them thought of the fact that they had never seen one anyone else outside of the clan transform, As Desi wept she slowly made the change back to human, she must have been exhausted and when she fell into a deep sleep Luna kept watch as she slept

Waking from her exhausted sleep Desi got up and going to a small calender on the wall exed off a couple more days, and prayed that the human sect wouldn't find her, although she would love to see what the family would do to the insane cult, she remembered the drugs they had released into the air, enough to down a demi-god, and the sudden rush of footsteps, with the intruders dropping from the forest canopy and surrounding there ancient lands, they captured women and killed their men, even there children had not been spared, either cut down if they were too young or captured if they could survive on their own, she had been on the outskirts of town in her house and they had passed her up but killing her mate and youngest child and takin gher older one, Darius had already gone through his first change and she had been watching him flirt with the other village girls, she had hunted down the sect only to find out that all those who had been taken were now dead, so that endless pit of rage and pain had filled up to the brim of her sanity
And here they were almost 4 years since that dreadful day,and every year since that first attack she had been hunted down and they attempted to capture her also, every year escaping by the skin of her neck, now the days edged closer and she was getting more paranoid and jumpy.

Returning to her room to feed Luna, she walked to the window, watching the darkness roll away, she returned to the calender on the wall, the ninth was the anniversary of that horrible day, so soon she wondered to herself, although she wasn't sure what day it was she assumed that it was the 6th or 7th.
Returning to her weapons cache she replaced all her daggers on her body and rubbing down her beloved whips once more before she finished for the night, thinking it over she grabbed her twin wrist sheathes and walking to the bed positioned one for easy reach in between the matress and boxsprings and the other she put beneath her pillow so she could hold it while she slept, disrobing and laying beneath the covers she waited her body tense for sleep to come.
Luna climbed up on the bed and curled toward the doorwith her head on Desi's side

Luna watched as her mistress carefully applied the ashes across her eyes, it was her cultures sign of mourning and she had done the same thing every year for the past 4 years for a day of rememberance, now it was time for another,

Jaus tapped her knuckles against the door, leaning against it a little to listen if her friend was awake. "Neh neh, Desii! Can i come in ?"

Looking from the window where she stood, watching the woods for signs of movement, "come in" she called, Watching Jaus walk into the room, she returns to her study of the grounds and woods, every once in a while she thought she saw some movement but it was stilled so quickly she thought it must have been animals, or mayhaps one of the new guild members scoping out the surrounding areas

"I was just starting my rounds to check on every one and i wanted to see you. " Jaus smiled as she moved over to join her friend by the window. "...Observations going alright ?"

glancing at Jaus, Desi gave a small answering smile, quickly looking back out into the woods,
"This day can't seem to go fast enough, my skin feels like it has been stretched to thin," she stated as she shifted and rolled her shoulders.
"i just want to make sure the family is safe, so if i leave the house rather quickly don't worry and more importantly don't come looking for me."

"Don't ? ..Desii, what is going on?" Jaus asked as she slowly reached up a hand and set it on her friend's shoulder. " You know that you can tell me anything that might be wrong, my friend.. "

revealing under the touch of the hand for a minute she steps away and clicks for Luna, Luna immediately comes to her hand, communicating as was there special way she asked Luna if she could sense anything outside, when her response was muted she shook her head lightly, how did they find her every time she wondered, she had been searched time and again for a homing beacon and yet they still found her.
Smiling at Jaus she quickly lied "nothing to worry over just some unfinished business to see to, and it might have to be rather quickly. As for whats wrong," she said fingering the ashes swiped across her eyes, "just the past coming back. have you ever wondered what makes some people different, why we are determined to be as we are? Why some people strive for what can never be theres?"

Jaus blinked a bit on hearing this, looking down as she thought over that. A smile came to her face though, a sad one, and she responded with, " Because it is all that we have to set us apart from every one else. .. We have nothing else, so being different is all that we can take with use from the places that we are from or the people that we see ..It is all we have, all we know...and sometimes, it is all we can rely upon to keep us alive... "

Smiling at her answer Desi decided to explain tell Jaus a little about the past, "Did you know i was mated at one time? I even had a kitten, well i guess you would call him a young. He was a sweet boy not quite to his first change, and my nimir-raj, my prince, he was a fine one, strong and a beautiful sight to behold when the change was upon him. OH how i miss them.

Jaus blinked a bit at this, looking at Desii in surprise before she slowly licked her lips and whispered. "And..Where is he now .. ?"
