Strength and Courage (OPEN)

Fox was sprinting through the city of Beacon Hills, wearing jeans, a regular tee and a black zip up hoodie. Running through the peaceful night seem to give Fox a buzz that cleared his head and thoughts. To be honest running wasn't his favorite thing to do but when he realized it cleared his head, he began to enjoy running a tiny bit more, though he still hates running. It was a full moon out and was bright as ever, shinning down on the streets creating a path of light. Fox only needed the moon to watch where he was traveling because of the brightness shinning down on him.

Fox had been wrapped in school work and had no time to practice his magic and so he thought middle of the night, why not practice in the woods. What was the worst thing that could happen? Fox made a few right turns and left turns on streets and soon found himself on a path that lead him into the dark forest. A cool breeze brushed passed him as he felt the wind graze his face. Fox enjoyed the cold weather, he thought it was better to be cold then hot because you can always warm up when your cold. Smiling he took the straight path ahead of him and began to stare at tall trees surrounding him. "Peace and quite." Fox spoke to himself as he caught his breath and walked toward a broken tree that was laying on the ground. It seem Fox found a center point of the woods or one of the center parts of the woods because he was now in an opening space where he could practice his magic and not hit anything in his way. If he really wanted to he could take out a few trees but they were still almost 50 feet away from him.

"What to work on today....fire...then water....then earth.....then wind. Lets do this Fox....just focus." Fox explained out loud to himself. He was by himself and knew he could talk to himslef and not sound like a fool. Taking a deep breath he raised his arms into a a fighting stance as if he was about to fight some target. Fox took a few jabs in front of him but as he took the jab he opened his fist and short flames of fire appeared launching out a few feet. One jab after another, more waves of fire burst from his palm. Fox enjoyed his power but sometimes he couldn't control it and causes him to lose control of himself and which is mainly why he moved away so much. Another deep breath from Fox, he was about to launch a combination of punches when he heard a crack from a branch on the ground behind him. Fox stopped dead in his tracks. Someone was behind him and might have seen him use his power. Turning around slowly Fox tried not to look panic and calm and clenched his fists as they were now at his side, "Whose there? Show yourself!" Fox shouted out with full force hoping what ever was within these woods will show itself to Fox.

Nia had tense muscles the whole day, she hadnt changed all month, it was beginning to irrate her and bring her body into a dull ache. Sitting in class was unbareable. She ended up leaving half way through. She drops her books off in her locker and heads to the parking lot. She listens in to see if someone was following her, but the jumble of many heartbeats cloud her hearing. She hasnt quite mastered her hearing. She gets in her car and drives to the one road where she would take off in the woods. She pulls her car over on the unbusy road. It wasnt that long ago when one of the students got in a accident involving a deer. She sighs and gets out of the car.

She takes her car keys locking the doors and tying them around her wrist loosely. She clenches her fists and concentrates on channeling the primal animal side of her. As she feels it coming on she opens her eyes as the yellow floods in. Her canines come in and she bends down becoming the animal. Nia yowls loudly, it echos through the trees. She stretches out and then her mouth. She shoves her paws forward launching into a run. She races from the car and the civilization. Soon nia finds a tree that seems suitable to sleep in. She runs faster and then jumping and clinging to the tree. She climbs up to the lowest hanging branch. She sighs and lays down to sleep.

When nia awakes she hears a heartbeat, only one. She leaps from the tree landing on her feet with a dull thud, her animalistic side takes over. She creeps closer hearing the boy talk. His name was fox, where had she heard that name before? She creeps closer snapping small twigs as she crawls under a bush seeing him. It was the boy from the class she had ditched out on. He calls out for me, he wanted me to show myself. He didnt know me, nor did he know what i was, only ethan knew. She moves from under the bush infront of him. She snarls baring her teeth. She steps closer her ears back and crouched down to pounce.

Out of all things Fox expected to come out of the wood he didn't expect a black panther to approach him. Fox stood there in shock, his bones were frozen as he couldn't move an inch in his body. Speechless Fox was indeed, his lips couldn't even make a sound. All Fox could do was open his eyes more to show that he wasn't expecting to see an animal appear before him. This was more scary to Fox then the day he saw the hound at school with his best friend Cai. "A panther here? In Beacon Hills?" Fox thought to himself as he kept eye contact with the panther. Fox was now living cat food if he didn't make a move. Trying to fight his fright and shock he was now able to move as his bones and body became unfrozen.

Fox stepped backwards as he examined the panther, the ears were looking backwards, and she was crouched down as if she was ready to pounce on her target. All Fox had to do was create a spell or two and he would be safe but the only thing is that he most likely wouldn't live to finish the spell. The panther would leap within seconds biting his head off or ripping his throat out. Fox's heart beat began to beat faster by the minute, a stare down with a panther he would never forget this moment. Another step backwards as he kept his eye contact with the panther hoping to not make any sudden movements to make the panther attack.

Thinking of his training, he placed his hand behind his back. His right hand behind his back soon felt the magic flow through his veins. The magic rushed through his body as if it were the blood in his veins. In seconds a ball of fire was released into Fox's hand. Whether or not he made it out a alive he had to try to defend himself. Fox took the medium size ball of fire and tossed it toward the panther. He could hear the flames flickering off the ball as he tossed the ball of fire toward the animal. "Okay, time to run now." Fox spoke to himself as he bolted down the path of the woods. He sprinted as if an actual panther was chasing him to the death. As he ran he only looked in back of him once but he didn't see anything behind him. But as he looked backwards he tripped over a tree's thick roots in the middle of the path. Fox landed hard onto the ground landing straight on his stomach and hitting the ground with his head. The loud thud on the ground had knocked Fox out and was laying on the ground out cold.
