Running Free -OPEN-

[♥Infinity♥]

Fina reached one of the empty tracks and looked around. She felt like stretching her feet. She loved to run. Kneeling down she closed her eyes. Slowly her legs shortened a little and her arms lengthened. a tail sprouted from her backside and a muzzle stretched out from her face. Her ears grew bigger and rounder. She continued to change until a cheetah was standing where she had bean. She shook herself once than took off running down the track. Everything flew past her as she stretched her limbs and put every bit of strength in running. Only problems with Cheetah's was they could only run short spells. After running about half the track Fina was getting tired. She had to stop before she came overheated. Lying down in the middle of the track still in her form she panted trying to catch her breath. When she finally cooled off and began to relax she got up and headed back to her book bag with out changing back. She had bean her for about six years everyone knew she liked to run at this time of day.

Grabbing her bag she sat down under a tree and shifted back to her normal self. Long blond hair draped down to her hips. Bright green eyes scanned the area before she pulled out a thick notepad. She flips it to a fresh page and begins to write. A poem had come into her head when she was running and she quickly wrote it down before she forgot it.

The star’s come out
The moon shines bright
The wind whispers
In the moons light

Where are you my friend
Where have you hidden
Out of my sight
Under the moons light
Or in plain sight
Just out of mind

I search, I wonder
Where, oh where could you be
I know your there
Hidden somewhere

Nix walked down towards the pratise field with her school bag hanging off one sholder and her leather coat hanging over her other arm, the wind was blowing slightly and had blown her messy red hair back over her sholders and was making the feathers in her wings move but she had always liked that about herself. She walked over to the edge of the field and looked around and spotted no-one and then dropped her school bag and coat beside a small sapling and then bent over and untied her shoes. She slipped her feet out of them and then took off her socks too and then skis them inside her boots and then amid them under her coat so they were hidden a little and then she stood up and curled her hands in to fists ,"now to level out" she said with a snigger and then she waved her hands quickly though the air in front of her

[♥Infinity♥]

The sound of footsteps walking on gravel caught her attention. Putting the notebook back in her backpack she looked up to see a girl standing on the track bare foot. She couldn't figure out what she was doing. Thinking the girl was new she puled her self up off the ground and dusted the dirt off of her designer jeans. She than pulled a tiny dog whistle from her pocket and blew three notes. She knew no human ears could hear them unless they where a shape shifter or had extremely sensitive ears. With in minutes a two year old Rottweiler came running up to her. Fina smiled and scratched Ririkku's ears than headed over to the girl. When she was a few feet away she called out. "Hi are you new here? I'm Infinity and this is Ririkku." She decided to give her nickname instead of her actual name until she got to know the girl a little bit better.

Nix waited a moment and then a pair of dark purple shadows followed the path her hands had taken and then she heard a voice behind her and she flicked her fingers and the shadows were gone. She took a deep breath and deliberately uncurled her hands and then turned round, a girl with long blonde hair was walking over to her with a dog at her side and nix sniggered and tilted her head to one side, if the girl had called the dog she coulld had alerted ghost too, and nix would love to see how that worked out. "I've been here a while actually, I'm just not a social kinda kid" she said and then ran a hand through her hair before grinning, "I'm shadow" she said with a small laugh to an inside joke of her own

[♥Infinity♥]

Fina's sharp eyes had caught the weird shadows out of the corner of her eye just before they disappeared. She began to wonder what the powers of this girl was besides the wings of course. "Nice to meet yea Shadow." She had a feeling that the name or nickname had something to do with what she saw but she wasn't sure. "So have I I've bean her for six years. My parents sent me some money for my fourteenth birthday to get a pet and I got Ririkku here. She's the best dog you could ever ask for.

Ririkku sniffed the air and growled. The girl smelt of shadows. She didn't like that one bit. It was a strange smell. Not to mention she could smell wolf on her. Ririkku's ears laid flat against her head and her eyes scanned the area looking for this humans wolf.

[nixnight]

Nix laughed and then held out a hand ,"my family hate me, I'm not like them so they sent me away to somewhere far away from them, my nanny raised me from a baby and before she was sacked for teaching me to fly she gave me a wolf cub, he'll me along soon I can bet you" she said and no sooner hat she had finished she heard paw falls. Ghost stepped out from the trees behind nix and stepped over to his sisters side and sat down ,he leaned against her leg a little but his eyes were trained on the dog across from her, his tail flicked slightly and nix rolled her eyes and then bent down and pressed her forehead against his for a moment and looked in to his eyes

[♥Infinity♥]

Fina grabbed Ririkku's color to hold her back and bent down. Covering her face with her hair she morphed her mouth into a muzzle and whispered something to her dog really quick before changing back and standing up. "Sorry Ririkku must have smelled your wolf on yea or something. Any way I'm shocked she would give a child a wolf. Wolves are dangerous animals. That much I know." She had a glint in her eyes when she said the last bit. "That's sad my parents loved me. But when I was ten sent me here to help me learn how to control my powers and learn how to flight. Do you have a special power to? I wonder why some people are born like us when no one in there family has wings or powers. Weird isn't it?"

Ririkku eyes the wolf as it ran up and emitted another growl before Fina bent down and spoke to her. Whimpering once she lied down and put her head on her paws.

Nix looked away from ghost and then up to the other girl and she laughed ,"I can help, due to my only freind being ghost since I was 12 I can sort of understand him ,I can talk to him a little too" she siad and then laughed again and then she stood up and moved away from her brother and then looked at the other girl again. "personally I think it's just evolution ,we have changed to have wings or to grow them in my case and humans don't so the only thing that seems to fit that sort of a change is evolution isn't it" she said with a grin as the wing blew through her wings again and she beat then gently against the breeze. Nix smiled as she thought over the girls second question and she gave a small but dark laugh ,"in short, yes I do, it takes a fair while to explain it properly but basically, I take power from people and convert it in to shadows" she said and she flicked her fingers again as a small thin line of her dark purple shadows twisted through her fingers on her right hand as it rested on her hip

[♥Infinity♥]

Fina was surprised that the girl could understand the wolf some what. "I can understand Ririkku completely when use my powers." She watched as the girl showed her her powers. "Wow that's pretty cool. Almost as cool as mine." Fina concentrated on ghost and a few minutes later she looked exactly like him a complete replica. She ran over and tackled Ghost playfully. Once they had tumbled a few times she stood up and looked up at Nix to see if she could tell which one was Ghost and which one was her. Fina loved using her powers. The only animal she rarely changed into was a bird since she could already fly in her normal form.

Ririkku watched Fina and Ghost. But she never moved from where she was.

[nixnight]

Nix couldn't help but to shift her arm so she put herself between her and the other wolf girl but she had already moved last her and tackled her brother and she rolled back across the grass and they attacked each other, ghost started with an offensive bite at the girls neck but she was fast for him to bite her and then after a few moments she heard his growls lighten and she breathed a sigh of relief. Only a few moments more and the two wolves split apart and she looked at the two of them for a moment, they both had the same bright White fur and dark black line running from their muzzles to their tail tips and the same bright eyes ,but then they both say down and nix grinned and held out her fingers and wiggled them and her shadows flickered out from her fingertips and ghost ran forwards to trying to lick at them

[♥Infinity♥]

Fina laughed and morphed back. A smile was split from ear to ear. "That was fun but I probably should have given a little more warning sorry about that." She walked up to ghost and scratched him between the ears. "He's a good dog ergh wolf." Standing back up she walked over to her bag and grabbed a camera. "Mind if I take a picture of you two against the willow tree over there?" She looked up hopefully. Photography like writing was her life. When she wasn't running or having fun with one of her morphs she was writing a poem or song or working on her book. And if she wasn't writing she was taking pictures of people and there pets. She would keep in the air when she took them. She liked to take pictures of them as they where and not faking smiles or anything.

Ririkku growled when she heard Ghost growl. She had stepped forward ready to protect Fina. But when he cooled off she sat back down.

[nixnight]

Nix tilted her head to one side and then looked down at her brother, he rolled his bright blue eyes and then looked her and raised an eyebrow and nix laughed and and bent down to bat at his ears and he gave a playful huff and then darted backwards and nearly bumped in to the dog ,nix gave a low whistle and ghost rolled to one side and missed the dog by only a little and then rolled over his back and hit his paws and jumped up and then grinned at nix as she turned back to the other girl ,"works fine for me, but you'll have to excuse the moon brained one over there" she said and then she hears ghost give a huff of laughter and then run forwards and nix dropped her school bag and turned her body to meet him
