"I'm..." Damon stuttered. He knew he had another name, but he was having trouble finding it. He closed his eyes, breathing deeply as he searched withing himself. Creo... It felt right, and his heart beat faster with the discovery. "I'm Creo. And you are?" He asked. They smelled so familiar, but he swore he's never seen them before.

Alyssa looked up from the ground where she was watching bugs to find that there were more wolves now. And they were talking. Somehow, their scent seemed like she'd known them before. Hesitantly, Alyssa padded up to the group, her head cocked sideways in confusion. "Er, hi," She said, feeling awkward. She had to have known these wolves before...but she'd never seen them in her life.

Raithe trembled slightly when the male's deep timbre reached her ears. She felt herself wondering if she had known him before. It was so familiar, almost like a feeling of belonging that caressed her gently. A bit surprised it took her a moment to reply, in which the second female answered Creo's question with an awkward voice. Glad to see she wasn't the only one who felt out of place Raithe summoned her courage and dipped her head in a what felt like the correct gesture of hello. "I am Raithe," she murmured in a soft voice, though there was an underlying current of curiosity lying there. "Hello...Creo and...?" she continued, mulling over whether or not she ought to ask them why they were here and if they had been human before this night. However, she felt foolish for even thinking of it and kept silent.

"Myth," Alyssa said to the she-wolf immediately. "I think it's Myth, anyway." This was all so weird...they all looked so familiar. The girl wolf that had spoken, Raithe, looked just about as awkward as Alyssa...Myth...felt. At least I'm not the only one, Myth thought. She wondered if these wolves were in the same situation...what with really being human and all...but she decided not to ask. Usually Alyssa wasn't afraid to speak up, and was pretty confident, but this was all too weird.

Creo nodded his head once. "How'd you guys take the ascension?" He asked, knowing they were human half an hour ago. He could smell it on them. He looked between Myth and the others. He knew that your wolf was an image of your true self. These people were beautiful, then.

"The ascension?" Myth asked, cocking her head to the side in confusion. So they are like me, She thought. For a second, she looked the wolf, Creo, up and down. He was gorgeous. They were all gorgeous, actually. Still, she didn't answer, in case she totally got the word 'ascension' wrong and it really meant something that normal wolves did.

"Yeah, ascension. I take it you didn't know?" Creo replied, sitting. "We were all born from a royal bloodline that skips every couple generations or so. You ascend into you wolf when the clock hits twelve midnight on your sixteenth birthday."

Raithe made a small noise of surprise at the back of her throat. "Ascension?" she asked doubtfully, wondering where this male was coming from. As far as she knew she hadn't risen to anywhere. More like shrunk, considering her current point of view. Shrugging her shoulders she glanced at the female, Myth, and gave her an appraising look. "Do you know what he's talking about?" she asked, a hint of suspicion filling her. The odd word had pique Raithe's curiosity, and now she wanted to know if it had anything to do with her sudden change in form.

Myth followed suit, sitting down across from Creo as he spoke. She nodded slowly, understanding. "So I'm not going crazy?" She asked, hoping. This felt like a dream...aside from the fact that everything was so real. At least this ascension thing cleared some stuff up, real or not. It was her sixteenth, after all. But maybe this was all something she just made up in her head...She still seemed confused.

"You're not going crazy." Creo laughed. He swung his head to look at the other wolf. "I'm talking about our bloodlines. You don't have to believe me, but you know as much as I do that you were 'normal' a couple of minutes ago, and now you're a wolf."

Breeze growled softly. Or we could all be going insane. Have you ever thought of that? she asked, snorting as best a wolf can. Or... Or there could have been a gas leak, or something, and we're all suffering from delusions! She shook her head, trying to convince herself that none of this was real. I'm no wolf. I'm just a normal, human girl who gets bullied every day at school because I'm gay and a Wiccan. There's no "ascension", no nothing. I'm just dreaming. She sat heavily on her haunches with a loud "huff".

Creo snapped his gaze to the other wolf, his eyes slitting at the huff. "You don't believe me, do you?" He stood, shaking out his fur. Okay, he had to concentrate. He shook his fur again, this time standing as a human, thankfully they changed in clothes. "I'm Damon Salvatore."

Alyssa...Er, Myth, looked up at Creo. Wait, Damon. Damon Salvatore. He was a human. Like her. She wondered how he could possibly manage to shift like that, especially so easily... "How'd you do that?" Myth asked in wonder. She couldn't help but stare at him.

"Bloodlines," Raithe repeated, a bored look entering her eyes. The way things were going this had to be a dream. People did not suddenly turn into wolves and meet other humans-turned-wolf in the middle of nowhere. Twisting her head around Raithe found she couldn't understand the sign that stood a few meters away, the text unfamiliar to her now. Growling with impatience she shook her head at Creo, eyes defiant. "Care to expl-" Raithe bit back a shocked yelp when the large dark gray male shifted in front of her, stretching into the tall form of a human. Growling gently under her breath Raithe felt an age-old fear enter her as she shuffled back a few steps, the fur along her back bristling.

"That enough of an explanation? Unlike most, I knew this was going to happen, I've been waiting for it." Damon said before shifting back. He, surprisingly, already felt extremely comfortable in his wolf form. "Try it. It may not be easy, but concentrate."

Raithe shut her eyes and tried to envision her human self. She tried so hard that her eyes actually began to hurt. Eyes flying open she opened her jaws to berate Creo for his foolishness when she heard a snapping noise and within moments she was standing tall, dressed in the same tank-top and shorts she'd been in before the shift. Holding out her hands Raithe...no, Samantha, gazed at them, speechless. Shaking her head roughly she grabbed her head and let out a frustrated groan. "This cannot be happening," she hissed, gray eyes wide with shock. As if the echo her sentiments a loud rumble of thunder cracked across the sky, a few raindrops already pattering down onto the city below. Tugging on a lock of red hair Samantha glanced around her, eyes locking on the gray wolf that had been Creo, the Damon, and no Creo.

Breeze sniffed and looked away, still refusing to believe that any of this was happening. 'I'm asleep,' she repeatedly told herself. 'I'm asleep, and I'll forget all of this once I wake up.' ((Sorry for the short post, I'm eating lunch. xD))

Myth watched him shift back before trying to do it herself. She shook her fur, thinking of nothing but wanting to be Alyssa again. And, sure enough, like the Damon boy said, Alyssa felt herself standing on two feet. She suddenly felt much taller, but her senses were much duller and she didn't like that. "Alyssa's my name," She told the wolves below her. "Alyssa Ring."
