721 Red Rock Grove
On the outskirts of the town, in a clearing near the woods sits a typical wooden two story country house painted white with a brick fireplace, the foundation and chimney escalading up the side of the house. The house itself is in well kept condition has a huge sit on porch that wraps around to the other side of the house. The area is fairly isolated but in a very open space. Wild grass fills the surrounding clearing and a fire pit is back of the house along with a shed.

Day 4
Morning
------------------------
It was still dark outside as Boon sat on his porch, glancing up a few times for signs of anyone nearing the house while he reviewed the plans of a stage design he put together for a nearby theatre. Even during dire or urgent situations, the half cherokee was known for working on some type of project involving the arts or performing arts. He loved to stay preoccupied at all times, very rarely taking any actual downtime. Boon felt at his best when he was busy with a task or some kind of predictament.
As he reviewed the sheets showing the layout and color coding of the stage, Boon was reminded of how he first met Christopher. This young enthusiastic and aspiring filmmaker who was trying to tackle perhaps a huger project than he could handle. Boon admitingly liked that quality in someone because to him it meant they were very ambitious and usually ambition was a key ingredient in projects in order to stay afloat. In many ways, the half cherokee had been glad the young man infatuated with wolves and his culture had come alone. It had given Boon a new project to work on, even a chance to build some sets.
'Speaking of which, wonder where he is, it's been over an hour now since he called... Hope nothing bad happened to him,' Boon thought to himself for a moment. Over the phone, Chris had sounded pretty exhausted, stressed, and lost, not to mention... different. His vocal intenations were a little different and his pronunciation was slightly off. Boon could only ponder just how bad the trouble might be and hoped that he was able to soothe his friend's predictament as he continued to look over the stage plans.

Birds and butterflies
Rivers and mountains she creates
But you'll never know
The next move she'll make
You can try
But it is useless to ask why
Cannot control her
She goes her own way
She rules until the end of time
She gives and she takes
She rules until the end of time
She goes her own way
As per usual, a song blasted from Christopher's radio as he drove along the long stretch of narrow road to Boon's place. Nothing but trees surrounding them on the road. The wolf man stay very quiet, not uttering much of anything during the drive. He seemed far too focused on the road and reaching their current destination. He was also very tense too as made obvious by the fact the rubber material that padded the steerling wheel was nearly squeaking from all the pressure being applied to it. If anything were to suddenly startle the very concentrated driver, he would probably snap defensively at them without contemplating his actions.
The car soon approached closer to a clearing where a house sat. As the sight came into view, Christopher loosened his intense grip upon the steering wheel and his body started to relax a little. The wolf man turned into the dirt driveway and drove up it, soon coming to a stop as soon as they reached the perimeter of the house. Pulling the key out of the ignition, Christopher slumped back in his seat and uttered, "Alright, evrybody piel out."

Glaucus eased out of his seat and turned around. He held out his hand for Relana, “Come on I think this is our stop.”
Glaucus breathed in, the ride was fine, even though it was further away from the ocean. But for all of Chris secrecy desires, he had blasted that Within Temptation Song awfully loud. He had no qualms against Within Temptation; still it unnerved him that it was done so routinely, it out shined the need for secrecy amongst a group of people wanting not to be found.

Relana took Glaucus' hand, looking around anxiously.
"So, we're here," she breathed. She was still a little nervous about her whole situation; she felt very vulnerable at the moment. Although she may of slightly covered up her legs, her arms and ears were exposed. She was also aware of the fact that she would soon be considered an illegal immigrant. That was one of the heaviest things on her mind at the time--she had never done anything illegal in her life, let alone become an illegitimate immigrant.

Turning to face Minna, Christopher found that his would be girlfriend had fallen asleep and he didn't wish to wake her. Instead, the wolf man got out of the car and wandered over to the passenger side door, opening it and unbuckling Minna so he could carry her inside to the house. Chris struggled a little at first to lift her, trying to be as delicate as he could with her, but eventually propped her into his arms.
Chris waved back to the others to get out of the car and follow him up to the porch. He had to admit to himself he felt nervous, as made obviously by the buckling of his legs as he walked, especially coming to his native american friend like this. But there was no other choice. As he approached closer, the wolf man greeted in a casual, collected voice, "Hello Boon."

Boon looked up from his plan sheets as he heard the sound of a car pulling into his driveway. From the style of car it was and since he was expecting a particularly sort of company, the blonde native american grinned a little, knowing it was Christopher. However, a puzzled look etched into his features when his filmmaking friend exited his car. Something seemed very different but he couldn't put his finger on it...
At least not until Chris approached closer to the porch, at the bottom of the steps. Boon just stared in awe for a moment, surprised by the sight. The young man's facial features were very wolf like from the fur to the muzzle. Christopher even had a tail, and the woman in his arms appeared to have a black leathery nose, akin to a canine's nostrils. Boon was caught up in the sight and his thoughts, '...Has it come back? After all this time?'
When the now wolf man greeted him, Boon snapped out of his trance-like stare and became animated again, standing up. "Hello Christopher... So, this would have something to do with what you didn't wish to talk about the other night I am guessing?"

"Yes, it would actually," Christopher informed his half cherokee friend as he made his way up the stairs. "Can we go ahead and come in so we can talk about it?"
The wolf man waited a little anxiously for an answer, especially since he was carrying Minna and wanted to set her down already. She was started to cause a strain on his arms and he himself just wanted a moment to sit down and relax, a simple pleasure he seemed to be denied all throughout the past day.

"Yeah, sure," Boon replied back, gazing up to see Christopher's other two friends who seemed to be changing into something aquatic. Pausing another moment, the half cherokee turned his attention back to Chris and added, "Come on in."
Moving toward the door, Boon held it open to allow everyone to go inside.

Glaucus felt as though he could trust this indian guy, he seemed kind and chris trusted him enough. So after Relana, he followed the strange parade into the man's house. Hopefully today he could get into town and get to the library and test out his theroy.

Relana sighed as she entered the house; she wondered why Chris' friend wasn't reacting with a loud scream or threats. She was sure she looked very strange to him, yet he didn't run away in terror.
"Perhaps he thinks we're dressed up in costumes?" she wondered. "Or....Perhaps he's just a really calm guy." She played with a strand of her hair, making herself stop when she realized it was becoming a nervous habit.

Entering the rather cozy house, Christopher entered the living room area and proceeded to lay Minna out on the couch so that she could relax. The wolf man seated himself on the floor, staying by Minna's side for the moment. His eyes gazed about, enjoying the comforting layout of the house. Chris's thoughts interjected, 'Enjoy it while you can... In about 2 minutes, you're going to be doing a lot of talking. Consider yourself lucky if it only takes an hour.'

Boon closed the door behind him once everyone was inside. He followed behind his company into the living room. The sight he saw before him was a very awkward one for him. While it was rather fitting to see what was happening to Christopher, he didn't know the others. It was such a surreal scene and he could only imagine what they might be going through. Afterall, it wasn't exactly everyday people just begin changing like this. None of them were honestly prepared for this.
Feeling the discomfort drifting through the air, Boon knew he had to try to treat this like any normal situation and make his guests feel at home. He offered, "Would anything like anything to eat or drink? By the way, I haven't caught your names if you don't mind introducing yourselves. I'm Boon by the way, Boon Gruppman."

When their friend mentioned food Glaucus, remembered he hadn’t eaten anything all day yesterday and now he was starving. “Oh, yeah, my name is Glaucus…”then after a pause he continued “…Masculli.” Glaucus held out his hand to shake boons, but he recoiled looking at his webbed fingers. “Uh… If you don’t mind, I didn’t eat all day yesterday, Um… I’ll take anything you have...if it’s not too much trouble”.
Glaucus felt weirder then he had the last few days, and asking for food from a complete stranger wasn’t helping him much. He thought for sure that this guy would despise him for sure, as being an abhorration of nature, but he didn’t seem to mind.

Relana shifted her flipper feet uncomfortably; she was always a bit nervous around strangers.
"I'm Relana Sahira," she said, her accent more pronounced than normal-- nervousness always made her accent much thicker. She tried to tuck a bit of her emerald hair behind her strange, finlike protrusions, but gave up after several strands were caught between the spines. The girl clasped her hands in front of her and said nothing more. Relana didn't feel very hungry because she was stressed, but she was a little thirsty. She wasn't going to make Boon go through the trouble of getting her something to drink, though. Yet, when she heard that Glaucus asked for something, she reconsidered.
"Ah," she uttered quietly, "I....ach, I....Would you mind if you brought me a glass of water? I mean, if it's not any trouble. If it is, forget about it," she smiled at him.
