Lucille masked her scent, she manipulated the air around her to smell human. She needed to leave. She walked over to the door, “Excuse me, please.”

Lucille heard their eerie conversation, every instinct told her to get out.

(Thanks. Is this good?)

Emori stopped, breathing heavy. "And your not either." She growled, and went invisible. She knew he could catch her sent, so she zoomed off, leaping into the air, wings unfolding from her back. She had to get away. Now that she was in the air, she was much faster.

Orion’s eyes flicked up into the air, catching her scent. He could see just the slightest bit of her outline moving through the air and almost laughed. His species vision was known to be based on movement, and she was moving at a decent speed. He strode back into the store, flicking the light to the backroom off.

She flew all the way to the city, and landed on top of a building. She folded her wings, and let herself be seen again, collapsing on the roof.

Orion turned the lights off, and his vision became something like a thermal scanner. He left the building, locking the doors behind him.

Castor pulled up his car to the gas pump and filled the tank, but he immediately was drawn to some commotion occurring in the store. He finished pumping gas and drove the car into a parking spot to clear a spot at the pump while he went inside to investigate.

Emori climbed down the fire escape, and hopped onto the side-walk. She felt a lot better now, thanks to her speed healing.

Orion spotted the man trying to go in and peered at him. “Just closed, buddy!” He called. He walked around to the back of the building and made his way towards a small area of woods.

Castor stopped in his tracks and was unable to go inside. It was an oddly specific moment in time for a store to close, he thought. It wasn't the top or middle of the hour. He sensed that the man who stopped him was up to no good and followed him very quietly.

Orion made his way into the woods, stopping when he got to a more dense area. He could smell something human nearby, but it didn’t matter to him. He didn’t try to hide his abilities, and it was fun to give a scare. He looked down at his arms and hands as the skin began to dissolve from them, revealing a gray, thick layer underneath. His bones cracked and popped as he slowly shifted. His nails grew, and his teeth formed into long, needle like fangs. Eventually, he stood taller at around 6’9, yet he was hunched over slightly. His gray skin was pulled taught, showing his ribs and bones clearly. His eyes were still red, but they were now sunken in and beady. He let out an inhuman screech, it being high pitched and ear splitting.

Castor was intrigued when he saw Orion's transformation at first, but felt every muscle in his body tense up when Orion let out that awful screech. More curious than afraid still, Castor drew in even closer, perhaps dangerously so.

Orion sniffed at the air, an animalistic instinct setting in. His head snapped around, looking at the man from before. He made a noise between a hiss and a screech. He slowly stalked towards the man, his heat vision like sight allowing him to see where he was. But when the man occasionally went still, he disappeared from Orion’s vision.

Castor stood still, amazed at the creature before him. He wondered if he should speak- if he should try to strike up a conversation. He was simply curious, and wanted to understand what this creature was.

Orion moved right in front of him, towering over the man. He growled, but a twig snapped in the distance, and he snapped in that direction. He could see the thermal shape of what looked like a large bear, and he snarled, taking off after it at an astounding speed. When he caught up to the large animal, it growled and clawed at him. He let out another screech and left onto the animal, tearing into it violently. Eventually, the bear lay dead, its body ripped open and torn apart in some areas, and its head was laying a few feet away. Orion dug into the chest of it, ripping apart the flesh and devouring the muscle.

Castor saw what played out next and decided it was time to go. He quickly snapped a picture of the creature on his phone and ran, knowing that it was more sensible to leave and figure out what the creature was later, because he had a feeling this wouldn't be the last time he saw it.

Orion noticed the flash, but was too starving to care. He continued to rip into the bear, eating ravenously. Blood was splattered across his gray skin, and he continued to eat.

(Welcome back.)

Lucille sat in the car, her mom was driving silently. Lucille quietly remembered what she had seen at the gas station. Then she remembered that their new house was scarily close to a forest, a forest full of eerie smells. It smells safe in the daytime, but dangerous at night.
