''All will be explained in due time. Please take a seat at the table.'' The woman replied, nnodding a silent good-bye to them before walking up to the main building and waiting by the door, where about ten other 'clones' were already waiting. Tenebrae nervously did as she had asked, sitting down at the far end of the table, right in the corner. This... wasn't looking good right now.

~~~~

''Very funny, Serena,'' Shaunie replied, her face deadly serious. ''Even if I don't know exactly how they've trained you to be Alpha, I do know I was taught that in times of uncertainty, even enemies work together, even if they don't get along. So, how about us not trying to kill each other for a while, eh?'' She said, noticing their guide was gone, but that people were beginning to sit down at the table. She sat down in the nearest seat, the corner at the opposite end to Tenebrae.

~~~~

Skellig wandered aimlessly out into the courtyard as the people finally dispersed enough for that to be possible. Almost all the aliens were down by the main building, now, anyway. Wandering over to the table, he started walking backwards so he could talk to Damien as he walked. ''Well, you wanna sit down?'' He asked, grinning. He tripped up over the backs of his own trousers that were trailing along the ground, and ended up on his backside.

Sighing, he stood up and wiped his butt off, before sitting down at the table across fom some lanky kid with black hair and purple eyes.

~~~~

Lucia took a seat at the corner opposite Shaunie, and Marianette wandered off after some of the weird women.

Tenebrae was surprised when Krael sat down next to him, but he brushed it aside and decided it was just the most natural course of action for him to take. When some blonde kid sat down across from them, Krael seemed to know him as 'Skellig'. It was weird, though, the way he said 'one of you'. What was that supposed to mean? Tenebrae was almost certain he recognised the guy who sat down next, a green-eyed person he was almost certain was a member of his pack. He didn't dare to say anything, though, for fear that Krael and the other human might find out what they were.

Skellig cocked his head to one side and appeared thoughtful for about ten seconds. ''Oh yeah! I do know you! Krael, right? So, are these guys from our pack too, or what?'' He asked, motioning Damien and Tenebrae. Skellig never was the best at keeping secrets. He kind of zoned out at that point, focusing on the building over Krael's shoulder. All the aliens- or what he believed were aliens- had gathered by the main building, and he thought they looked like they were expecting someone.

~~~~

''Do you recognise anyone?'' Shaunie asked softly. She thought she recognised quite a few people, but she wasn't sure where from, and she couldn't be sure.

''What are you going on about, Krael?'' Skellig asked, allowing a hint of puzzlement to slip into his features. ''Were you exiled or something? I don't remember you being, but even if you were, that's no reason for you to act like the pack doesn't exist. Now you're just being stupid.'' He said, scowling, before shaking his head.

Tenebrae was pretty sure he understood what was going on now. Either Skellig really was high, or Krael and the blonde boy were were-wolves and part of a pack. He watched them both cautiously; you could never be too sure.

~~~~

''Yes... In fact, I recognise almost half the people here...'' Shaunie murmured, glancing around herself. She quickly got distracted as some weird kid with bright green eyes started talking to her. ''What...? Wait a minute... Are you that weird Omega from my pack? Lore?'' She sounded a little apprehensive. Lore was known to be a bit... strange.

~~~~

Lucia was watching the going-ons with interest. She herself was pretty sure she recognised the white-haired one was Serena, her Alpha, but decided not to comment on it. It was probably best, anyway.

Skellig shrugged his shoulders, but stood up anyway. ''What about? Does your being exiled have anything to do with why we've all been kidnapped by aliens?'' He asked, perfectly serious, giving Krael a scolding look.

~~~~

Tenebrae was pretty sure Skellig was high now. Did he seriously believe that... aliens? This guy... was weird beyond comparison. Either he was definitely high, or... he was just a moron. From his behaviour so far, Tenebrae decided it could go either way, so remained silent and watched on with caution. As if he'd get the courage to speak up as it was.

~~~~

Shaunie gave a nervous laugh. How would the Omega of her pack deal with this? ''Lore, that's fine, she's not from our pack, although she is a werewolf. She's from the Southern Star Tribe...'' She trailed off, deciding the rest was self-explanatory.

''She's the Alpha's daughter.'' She thought that might make the Omega accept it more, even though the two packs were sworn enemies.

Lucia remained silent as she watched what was going on, even though she was endlessly curious. So, that weird one- Lore, was it? Geeze, what a name- was the Omega of her pack? Interesting...

[[Hehehehe. Mysterious- Check. Cool- ... Nooot so much. |D]]

Skellig went with Krael willingly- as if it mattered at all- and stood looking slightly confused before it dawned on him that werewolves are myths to humans. ''Well...'' He started, but it took several moments of deep concentration before he figured out a response. ''I forgot that humans don't know about us. I haven't been around any in a while.'' Shrugging his shoulders, he thought about the aliens theory. ''I thought that they're all aliens was pretty logical. They all look exactly the same, they've kidnapped like a bus-load of kids for no apparent reason, and I have no idea where we are.''

~~~~

Tenebrae watched with a morbid fascination. So, Krael was just this rough and blunt with everyone? At least it wasn't just him for a change. ''Uh... D-do you have an-any idea what th-this is a-a-about?'' He asked, looking up at Damien for the first time.

~~~~

Shaunie searched for something to say, but eventually gave up, choosing to sit in awkward silence instead. Lucia had been like this since the beginning, so it didn't really bother her much.

[[I think Skellig and Krael are getting on well. o 3o Also. Did you know I actually made Skellig hold his breath till he passed out once in another rp. |D It was for a contest or something, but still. |D]]

Skellig stood where he was for a minute or two more with a baffled look of utter confusion on his face, before walking slowly back to the others. He had his hands stuck in his pockets, and his eyes trained on the ground in front of himself, deep in thought. Apparantally, Krael was pretty ticked with him right now. Ah well. You couldn't win them all, he thought.

~~~~

Tenebrae couldn't help but agree. Skellig was perhaps one of the very few people he had ever seen looking as confused as himself, and that didn't happen very often.

''I-I wonder w-what he did t-t-to tick off K-Krael so much...'' He murmured, although he wasn't really paying attention to anyone in particular. The atmosphere seemed to suddenly grow almost oppresively heavy, as if expectant of something.

~~~~

Shaunie proceeded to look around herself once more, searching for someone else she might recognise. Seeing no one, she gave up and focused on looking at her nails.

Lucia was watching Lore intently, trying to figure out exactly what it was that made him act so strange and weird.

[[I would believe you. Let's just say that quite a few of Skellig's 'accidents' are based on personal experience. |D]]

Skellig slid into his seat in a much calmer manner than Krael, but it wasn't as if that was purposeful. It was amazing he'd sat in his seat at all, instead of on the floor, he was so zoned out. An earthquake could happen and he wouldn't notice.

Well, an earthquake didn't happen, but something almost as bad did. The doors of the main building burst open, leading to instant silence everywhere, for the man who stood there was certainly intimidating.

He looked young, possibly in his early twenties, with jet black hair and golden eyes. He was tall and well-built, and appeared very strong, to say the least. His posture was almost regal, and he wore a tuxedo, of all things.
''Hello, students, I would like to welcome you to the Peace Acadamy.'' His voice was clear and commanding, as well as pretty loud.

Through all this, Skellig was completely oblivious and staring into space.

~~~~

Tenebrae, however, had craned his neck around from where he was sat to see who the hell it was. His eyes widened in surprise as he saw the strange man, but he didn't make a sound.

~~~~

Both Shaunie and Lucia looked up immediately, Shaunie having to turn around slightly in her seat to see what was going on.

[[Hehhehehe. xD That'd be a good idea. xD]]

''Right now, you probably all believe I am a few components short of a light bulb. But, it shall all become clear now. Each and every one of you is a... special being. Not a single one of you is completely human. You are all werewolves. A few questions running through your heads right now are probably what pack the people around you are from, and what rank? Well, there are only two packs here. The Northern Moon Tribe and the Southern Star Tribe. Both are sworn enemies. And rank? Just as unimportant as the fact that your packs are enemies. You were all brought here for one reason; to learn to live in peace with both the members of other packs and those of lower rank than you. Almost everyone you don't recognise is from the opposite pack, remember that.''

With that, the man finished up and turned to head inside again, looking over his shoulder for the briefest of moments. ''Oh, and breakfast shall be served shortly, after which you may return to your rooms. That is all.'' He walked in, and the 'clones' all followed in after him.

Even though his speech had been slighly spectacular, whoever got stuck with Skellig when he finally snapped out of it would have some fun explaining all of what was said to the lad, who might as well've been in a coma.

~~~~

Tenebrae, on the other hand, recieved this information with mixed feelings. For one, he was glad, because he understood what was going on between Krael and Skellig. On the other hand, though, he just knew this would be fun. Being an Omega was bad enough, so everyone from his own pack would have fun beating on him, but being the Omega of an enemy pack? Life was going to be hell... especially with Krael as his roommate.

~~~~

A look of finally understanding flashed into Shaunie's eyes, followed by more confusion. Exactly why was this guy doing all this? What did he have to gain by reuniting the two packs? She was unsure, but decided she'd find out eventually, at least.

~~~~

Lucia looked thoughtful as she took the information in. So, half the people here were of her pack? That much information was good enough for her, in the least.

Tenebrae, glanced at Krael out of the corner of his eye, but didn't turn his head, for fear he'd be noticed. That would be a bad idea, as Krael had just muttered something like 'kill me now', and it worried him that the other boy would actually try to kill someone else instead.

~~~~

Skellig chose that moment to wake up from his day-dreaming spell- or, rather, day-coma- and glanced around, wondering what everyone was so excited about, why Krael had his head in his hands, and why purple-eyes looked really scared about something.

Poking Damien's shoulder once more, he tried to figure it out for a minute or so before giving up and speaking. ''Hey, dude. I kinda sorta zoned out for a minute there. What's up with everyone?'' Skellig thought that even Damien looked pretty amazed, so he figured something must have gone down.

~~~~

''Yeah, you're right...'' Shaunie replied, trying to think again. ''It make sense, but there are so many other werewolves here... It'll be chaos... The thing that bugs me is why. Why did that freak choose to kidnap everyone, and why is he trying to force everyone to become all friendly with each other...? It just... Nothing makes sense.'' She buried her head in her hands and took a few deep breaths, before raising her head high again.

''Well, we were raised to deal with stressful situations. I guess we'll need to start putting our knowledge into action.''

~~~~

Lucia was a little surprised to see Lore wince, and wondered if perhaps the Omega of the other tribe was worried about something.

''Uhm... Lore, is it? Are you ok?'' She asked, speaking for the first time since she'd sat down. Her voice was a mixture of confusion at what she'd just learned and a slight hint of concern for the boy, all blended together with her soft voice.

Tenebrae decided attempting to calm Krael down would be better than just letting him smash the table into a woody pulp, so turned to him. ''Uhm, K-Krael? A-a-are y-y-you a-alr-right?'' He asked, his voice meek and his shoulders slightly stooped.

~~~~

Skellig had a slightly blank look on his face for a moment. ''Erm... No. I kinda zoned out and missed everything that happened, if something did happen. What's up with everyone?'' He asked, deciding to go into more detail this time.

~~~~

Shaunie's natural leading instinct- passed down to her from her father- took over. ''We can set an example. We can show everyone that they don't need to rip each other's throats out to get a point across. Unless we do something, both of our packs our going to massacare each other.'' She sounded almost desperate towards the end. One thing she could not tolorate was needless damage and harm.

~~~~

''Uh, no problem.'' Lucia replied, smiling warmly. ''You don't need to call me 'miss', by the way, if you don't want to. My name's Lucia.'' She could tell that whatever the boy said, something was amiss, and wanted to be friendly. Maybe he just didn't like crowded places. Most Omega's were like that, and they were usually shy, too, although Lore didn't seem shy. More anti-social.
