Hunter leapt over till he was infront of the cave intersection and growled. "I don't know whats back there... it's not safe." He said to the man, then looked back at the girl. "I know where there is A human village. I don't know what it's called..."

"The inland sea? Before the storm? The storm is allready on us and there isn't a chance to get across the mountain in time... It's to far... no offence, ma'am, but you aren't nearly as fast as me and I doubt I could make it that far so fast." Hunter said, feeling guilty. It would be wrong to keep these people here against their will, but he didn't want to be alone again for another storm... he should have told them about the village nearby that, if they moved quick, they would have no problem getting to, but he didn't mention it. Should have. Did not.

Suibu's face turned to a pout. "All right," she said sullenly. "I guess I don't really have a choice in the matter then. I guess I could just wait until the next ship arrives with supplies and hitch a ride back to the mainland and that should be in - oh, I don't know, five or six months?" she finished sarcastically. She was fighting back tears as she sank into a sullen depression.

Hunter frowned. He dug his claws into the ground trying to stop himself from saying anyhing, but eventully. "Fine!" He snapped. It took him mear seconds to pounce out of the cave opening, then he shifted firther into his Jaguar form and took off down the road. He lectured himself the whole way for doing it, what with the wolves so close, and the storm rising above him. No ship would sail in this weather. He told himself, but he kept going. Most humans might have been forced to go around the mountain, he went over it, through it whenever he found a cave where he could sniff and smell an opening. He shifted completly to his jaguar form as the pain from the snow hit him, his paws becoming bloody from running through the hidden branches and bushed, but at last, he didn't know how many hours later, he saw the town. And he saw the water. Hunter slid down the mountain cautiously, he didn't blend into the snow at all and he was afraid someone would see him, he dashed into the town, keeping low, luckily, most of the people had taken shelter from the storm. He crept through the town and to the docks, a notice was posted about the ships, he didn't know exactly what it said but he grabbed it and slid it into his collar before turning back, as he did so he felt his fur stand on end and knew the storm was about to hit, he knew he wouldn't make it back in time. He started to run when something caught his attention. FOOD! a sled full of it. It wa wrong to steal, he knew that, but it was also wrong to starve people. He jumped to the front of the sled wherethere was an odd harness. If given time he figured it might actuall fit him but for now he just bit into it and ran. He ran up the mountain and stoppd as a familar smell hit him. He ran into a cave. It was mostly burried in snow but he dug his way in. It was very secluded, and it looked like no one had visited it for centuries, but he could smell everything! It was like he had found some type of underground passageway! And best of all, it lead back to his cave. He was scared, though, as he had never fully explored his cave. He turned to go back, to use the mountain rout instaid and suffer through the storm, but as he turned back he realized the storm had hit and he yelped and took off through the cave, the sled went fairly well on the stone ground but he wasnt having as much luck, he kept cutting his paws on sharp rocks and had to stop twice to keep the sled from flipping over, but, he made it back, blindly, sniffing and walking slowly as he approched his cave, he could smell the man and the girl and he sped up, then tripped and let our a roar as he hit something.

Suibu jumped back from the fire, clutching the inside of the cloak to keep it closed with one arm and the other hanging out of the make-shift toga to keep balance. "What in the name of the Gods?" she cired out when she was the cat. She looked to the strange man and then back to the cat.

Hunter got up and made his way through the small opening bak to his cave. He saw the girl staring at him, looking scared. He dropped the harness from his mouth. "What?" He asked, his Jaguar cub maw having slight trouble forming the words, but he allways managed. "Why are you staring at me?"

She pointed at him as if to carify her words. "Y-" She stopped, staring at the talking cat incredulously as if to make sure she was hearing things right. "You talked!" she accused.

Shadrak glanced back and forth between the two, "Well....why shouldn't he? we were talking to him before..." He had put off his investigation of the cave when the catboy had streaked out of the cave...realizing that it may not be safe to leave the girl alone. Shadrak saw no difference between the big cat and the catboy of earlier, he saw the same magic sig and didn't bother wondering at forms. He was a master at form manipulation, so it didn't disturb him. He leapt for the sledge that smelled of food, like a cat and pawed through it curiously, not wanting to take anything, just curious.

She stared at the man incredulously. "You don't... find this... strange?" She found her words hard to come by.

Shadrak looked perplexed, "Erm...what exactly should I be finding strange?"

If she was confused before, she was knocked on her heels now. "How about the fact that a huge feline just came out of the cave and talked!

"Hey! I brought you food and f-oh...oppsy." Hunter shifted back to as human a form as possible, still with his tail, his collar that held the paper he had... borrowed from the docks, and his ears. He noticed his coat had gotten torn sometime during his journey and his boots weren't in the best condition, nor were his pants, the knees were cut. His gloves, like his paws, were cut and scrapped but he tried to ignore it. "As I was saying, I got you food." He stated, motioning towards the sled behind him. Then he curle up closer to the fire trying to warm himself up.

Shadrak motioned, "That," toward the curled-up catboy, "is perfectly normal, no?" He went back to rifling through the supplies, he grinned. Even with all three of them, they were well stocked to outlast a siege.

Hunter flicked his tail, then remembered the note in his collar and pulled it out, holding it out for the girl to take. "I... found this."
