In Light Of A New Day [DELETED CHARACTER]

[DAKOTA LEA FETCH]

It didn't take her long to find her way about, even if she was new she didn't want much contact with anyone else in the camp. Dakota made her way through the forest carefully, her eyes searched in hunger for any suspicious movement. This seemed like it would be a great place for her to sit in a tree and sketch.

She valued her sketches with her life and dared anyone who would ever look through them. And although the trees were burnt and nothing showed any sign of life in this certain patch of the woods. It slightly inspired her, this could become a regular place for her to sketch. The trees had rather interesting formations, even if they were burnt to a crisp.

Dakota was a rather self-reserved person, at least ever since she had gotten here she was. People rather irritated her, at least the guards did. She couldn't break free of their damn control. It was exactly why her parents had sent her here after all the mayhem she had aroused at home. But she wouldn't let them take over her life if it was the last thing she'd do.

Thinking of all this slightly angered her, she felt restraint here and she didn't like it at all. Maybe someone shared her frustration then again maybe some didn't. She took a seat at the base of a tree and began to sketch.

Cody always wound up going to the same place, He had been in this camp now for a little over a month and even now he decided the burn forest was the best place for him to go. Long as the day light showed he was never bored here. And no one ever really was their, And if they where he left them alone and they normally did not bother him.He had come into this place as a complete jerk and though he was tough but the guards and a few others proved that only to be wrong.

He walked the forest for a while before deciding to change into his most favorite form. The sound of the cracking and skin being torn filled the air and the birds scattered as his form jerked and shifted. It was such a odd thing to see he would guess, and could not be overly pleasant. But to him it was normal now and he barely felt any pain for doing so now.

Once he was shifted where he once stood now was a massive sized white wolf. Looking around he let out a soft yawn and stretched his front paws out and arched his body slightly. Then took off into the forest. It was peaceful out now and the forest seemed perfect no one was around and the whole place was alive with nature.

After time passed he reached where he wante to be, a forest of debree and torched wood. it smelled horrid at first when he first came here but now was a smell he enjoyed. Walking slowly he looked around and his nose caught a smell he reconized slightly. He was not sure who it was but the smell was similar to his own. He walked slowly towards it still staying in his wolf form.

As he grew closer he saw a girl sitting near with a sketch pad and she seemed rather relaxed as well. He looked her over for a moment, he could not reconize her which he guessed then she was new like himself. Since most the others he had met already. Walking towards her slowly he stops a few feet away and sits down and lets out a small bark like howl. Only to inform her he was their, so she did not get startled.

[DAKOTA LEA FETCH]

A sent drifted soon to Dakota, it was a recognizable smell. She looked up from her sketch book unsure of how to react. There was someone else here? Could there be someone who enjoyed the place as much as she had grown a custom to it within the past few days. Soon she finished her last final touches on her picture, but as she did so a bark came from beside her. She snapped shut her sketch book a little on edge now, not realizing he had been so closed to her. She made a mental note to keep an eye on her surroundings.

Looking over her shoulder she noticed a rather large white wolf just sitting there. That! That was why she recognized his sent, he must of been a shapeshifter as well. She looked at him, and set her book down now that she was finished. She thought it would be rather suitable if she could greet him properly. She then found her body shaking as she hunched over while her bones rubbed together.

Now facing him in return in a rather similar form, was Dakota. As a wolf, only her fur was black as night itself. The kind where you couldn't see your own hand in front of your face even if it was a centimeter away. She preferred the dark fur, she could blend in. Her enemies couldn't see her movement and it matched the image of what her parents would call the inside of her mind. For she was a rather odd person at that.

She tilted her head in greetings to this newcomer "Hello there..stranger"

[cody]

He watched closely as she was startled and quickly shut the book. He figured it was something secret she did not want any one to see. He remained sitting where he was. Not making a move and trying to make sure not to further startle her.

As she stood and began to change forms as well he gave a canine like smile and stood back up. Looking at her she was slightly smaller then he was, But oposite colors. She was pure black as where he was pure white. It was strange seeing such a thing but also made him rather happy.

When she spoke he cocked his head slightly to the side and his ears perked back slightly. "I hope I did not startle or interupt you.. I just come here to get away from every one.. My name is Cody"

Walking towards her he stops a few feet away and his tail sways slightly back and forth as he looks over her. He was always careful of who he was around now, since his last encounter wound up with a angry vampire. So he was a bit careful now who he spoke with and made sure to decide quickly if he should run or stay around.

But she seemed safe and was alot like himself which made him all the more curious of her. She was rather pretty and from what he could tell was not afraid of much. So her persona as well was like his. It was a interesting meeting, One that could prove to be rather good.

[DAKOTA LEA FETCH]

She grinned when she heard his voice, it proved as of that moment he hadn't meant to harm her. He seemed to be looking her over, which she could tell from his eye movements. When near someone she had always learned to watch out for eye movement from anyone you were talking with, it proved helpful in showing trust to people but at the same time it showed her if they were going to make a move.

She listened very carefully, it had appeared that he was here for almost the same reason she was. To get away from people, or that of socialization with anyone. " You and I have the same intention then friend, I come here to relax and get away from everyone.. I enjoy sketching out here, it gives me inspiration... My name is Dakota" She said more relaxed. He seemed friendly. So she would return the gesture. That's how Dakota was, she would return in responds the same way you would turn to her. It was kind of a defense of hers, ever since the murder.

She noticed his tail swaying then pulled back and lied down. She was comfy, and he was rather an interesting creature at that. She mentally giggled to herself as she watch him patiently. This could turn out to be quite an interesting meeting indeed.

[cody]

He was happy with the reply, she was not hostile or rude with her response, It was much the same as his own. She was just as calm and laid back as he was, which allowed him to ease up and relax a bit. Which was something nice to finally find in this place. He hated to be alone all the time with no one he trusted.

"Its nice to meet you Dakota, And it does seem so this place is just seemingly safe.. Not many others find beauty here so prefer to not come. Which is perfectly fine with me. "

He stopped pacing and looking her over, and decided it would be fine to relax as well. After she had laid down he decided it was of no worry of being attacked by her any longer. Walking in a small circle for a moment he found a small area not covored by debree and chared earth and laid down as well.

His tail swayed back and forth as he kept his attention towards her wondering when she had arrived. He had not yet met another like himself, Only thing here he had seen even close was a werewolf and they where not alike in any other ways beside changing form.

"If you dont mind.. What kinds of things do you draw? I saw you close the book when you herd me before.. But....Not sure if that was reaction or if its something you dont like others to see.."

[DAKOTA LEA FETCH]

She held a wide smile when he mentioned this place to have such beauty. She couldn't agree more with that statement. She loved this place ever since she had stumbled upon it. Glancing somewhat around at the place. " Beauty " she said simply with almost a Russian accent. " It is defiantly a place of beauty for sure, its a shame some people don't see it" she smiled even wider.

She watched carefully as he looked her over, but was happy when he relaxed and decided to join her. This was her first real conversation here at the camp. She hadn't met anyone else cause she kept to herself mostly. She twirled around to face him dead on while relaxing to make it a more comfortable conversation.

Although at the mention of her sketch book her facial expression dropped. Her eyes turned from him to her book.. No one looked at her book. It was her safe guard. She kept all her twisted thoughts put out onto paper. She couldn't even say what it was she drew, just dark imaged creatures, twisted things such as a burnt tree. But she'd ad more design into it. She never new why but she just knew it wasn't ... "normal" .

" Errr... " she said with slight hesitation. She sat up rather quieting herself. She dragged her book close to her with one paw. " I don't quite share with people, what it is I draw" she said kinda shying away.

[cody]

He could tell something about the notebook made her uneasy. It was something she prefered to keep secret, Which with most people would want to make them see it all the more. But Cody did not care, It was not that it didnt make him curious but why bother some one over something that they did not wish to share or talk about?

"No worries Its no big deal.. Just wanted to ask,But if you dont want to that is fine. We all have our secrets and dont want others to know. Any way As for this place Im really shocked to have actually met some one else here well beside a werewolf or a vampire.. Its actually nice... Having some one to talk with that is.."

He remained where he was laying his head now rested on his front paws and his body streched out. He was overly relaxed and was enjoying the simple idea of just being here and having some one to enjoy the place with. It was not often one could make a friend in this place.

After a moment he smiled and stood up and walked closer to where she was Placing a paw against her he gave a soft gentle push and a playful growl. The one thing great about being what they where was it was highly enjoyable to play in these animal forms. Since they where so big yet energetic. And he was not often able to play around, Since most fights where real here.

[DAKOTA LEA FETCH]

Dakota relaxed, and her smile gratefully returned to her face with her mind at ease. Her book was hers. She liked that he respected that. She was a little surprised he had even run into anyone else out here before.

She turned to him " That's rather interesting, hmm werewolves and vampires you say?... To be completely honest, your the first person or well.. supernatural I've met in my time being here"

[/i][/color]

Her curiosity sparked at what else or rather who else might be lurking around the camp. But she could save that for another time. She soon felt contact with him. He seemed to be playful. Which was fair. Slightly giggling when he pushed her. She leaned and tried to nip at his ear, purposely missing of course. Her tail wagged. She was for once having fun at this camp. She also hadn't expected to make a friend ever so quickly here.

She soon padded away from him, slightly bouncing on her toes. She turned and looked at him with wide playful eyes. Her tail swayed back and forth. She hunched over on her front two paws excitedly as she waited for him.

[/center]

[cody]

He watched as she bounced slightly and moved away, It was nice to also have some one around who would want to play. Even if this place was a issue and held alot of danger, If they where together and had fun they would enjoy the place more an as well be more safe.

In a place like this for them being loners it was not the safest bet. Since neither one was physically stronger then vampires or werewolfs or even some of the others It was safer to stay in a group and also more fun this way as well. He kneeled down against his two front paws and glared at her for a second with playful eyes before he pushed forward and lunged towards her landing to her right.

Turning on his paws he rested his front two against her and pushed gently. And nipped softly at her neck. Only enough though for her to feel it but not cause any pain. After all having large teeth ment having to be careful. And the last thing he would want to do was hurt her in any way. Since he was overly glad to have found some one he could be around like himself and enjoyed being close to.

"We should stay together here.. Could keep each other safe from being attacked by anything. And well... I enjoy the company Its nice having some one around for a change. Normally I just hide and avoid others.."

He was not sure what her response would be, It sounded odd he had to admit. But he did have a point at least about the two being more safe with each other rather then alone. Plus he was just simply over joyed to have found a friend.

[DAKOTA LEA FETCH]

Dakota was happy, she enjoyed this a lot. Having someone around to be near her. Even if she was use to being 'By her-self' she did like his company. She watched him lung for her, but her smile only grew bigger as he landed by her right. She was taken aback soon feeling him nibbling at her neck but she just laughed at it, cause it tickled.

She soon felt his paws slightly pushing her and she flopped on her side and rolled over. She growled at him rather playfully. She couldn't remember when she had been able to do something like this. After all it was only her discovery when she was isolated by her parents did she even find out she had such powers to form. It had been her anger that had allowed her to concentrate but now she was just used to it.

Dakota however was a little surprised at his next suggestion. For both of them to stay there? Together? She had only just met him, but they seemed to have something okay going. It would also be nice having someone to trust in this camp, she had heard the rumors of the gangs that supposedly worked together around here. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

She rolled over onto her tummy and faced him with a simple smile. " That would defiantly be interesting, since I to stick to myself... But someone else around could be something I get use to... Sure.. Although we did JUST meet, You seem alright by me "

[/i][/color] She said sitting up then playfully licked his cheek.
[/center]

[cody]

He smiled and returned the playful lick and rolled over onto his side next to her. It was pretty nice being around some one else. And in fact the gangs would find it harder to attack with two rather then one of them around.

"Only alright huh? Well I guess Ill accept that I thought I was pretty fun though.. Oh well "

He laughed a little and then realized he had seen her normal form but she had not seen his yet. Rolling back over onto his stomach he smiles at her and begines to change. The bones moving and shifting around as he did so. It did not take long before he was returned to his normal form.

Offering a smile now he walks over to her and pets her head softly and sits down. He figured it was polite to at least let her know who he was and what he looked like out side of his most favorited form. He was dressed in blue jeans a black t-shirt with DILIGAF writting on it and normal sneaker. For once though he was not wearing his favorite hat.

"Figured it was only fair to let you know what I look like since I knew what you looked like. Was making me feel some what rude actually.. Though maybe I should have kept it secret.... And then when I did change I could spook you hehehe"
He laughed a bit at what he had said. Only teasing her slightly. He knew she could understand him though would not be able to answer back until she changed or he did. It was the one downfal of being in animal form you cant speak human at all.

[DAKOTA LEA FETCH]

She giggled "Haha I never denied that you were fun "

[/i][/color] she spoke and then watched remarkably as he change back to his normal form. She guess it was a little weird seeing someone else transform. She had never seen it from a different perspective. It was rather interesting to watch. She liked the look of his regular form, his sense of style wasn't that bad either.

Dakota accepted the friendly pats to the head and rested her muzzle on top of his crossed legs after he had sat down. She rolled her eyes when he mentioned spooking her but she understood he was kidding.

Sitting up she too, changed to her normal self. Her bones rubbed together and she began to shake. But just like that she was human again. This seemed a little more interesting as she studied his features. He wasn't a bad looking guy. She sat down cross-legged in front of him, wearing her knee high converse, a black and silver hoodie, and a tee saying ' Wake Up This Is Only A Dream' that she had gotten one day with an old friend from her favourite shopping store D-Tox.

" Not rude at all, but it is nice to finally get to see you in person.. I rather like your style.. and looks, please don't mind me being blunt but your very attractive"[/i][/color] She said trying not to blush as the words spilled from her mouth.

[/center]

[cody]

It was interesting he would have to admit seeing some one change. It was a painful looking process though He knew once you where used to it the pain no longer bothered you. As she shifted he kept his eyes on her closely.

Sitting infront of him and her words it all made him smile. It was rare he was complimented by some one. Most people told him to get a hair cut and to grow up. But she was different, Though they did dress alot the same. But it was really the bluntness of what she had said that made him shocked a bit.

"Thank you.. And no worries and no reason to ask forgiveness. You are rather attractive yourself. Very cute and I love the shirt. Looks like we both got more in common then expected. "

It was interesting for him not being cocky or rude, But the one thing this place did do for him was kept him on his toes and he learned quick not to think he was the strongest any more. Looking towards her he smiled and leaned forwards and kissed her forehead softly before sitting back normal.

"Im glad to have met some one that I can feel happy to be around in this place. I really though I would die alone here or just be killed.. "

[DAKOTA LEA FETCH]

She accepted the compliments back but then felt her face get heated shortly after he kissed her forehead. She smiled but quickly covered her face with her hands. She knew she must of looked red as a cherry. She hadn't been use to having affection in the slightest way for a while now. It was different. She took her hands away from her face when she was slightly more calm, knowing she'd probably still look a little pink.

" I know what you mean, and I to am happy to of met someone, although I didn't expect it to happen ever so quickly.. With me however, I could of seen mouthing off one of the guards and getting locked away or something like that.."

[/i][/color] she said kinda giggling at the thought.

Although she knew her thought was right, she probably would of mouthed off at a guard had they of said anything to her. They reminded her of her parents, mainly because they could set the restrictions on what she could do. Which only angered her even more. Dakota hated her parents for letting the court put her here. But then again.. she wouldn't of met Cody.
