[IC] Struggling

[Drakon rilt]

Justin finally stopped by a waterfall, he was back on two legs backing up. Till one of his legs slipped off of the edge, he swallowed clawing vampires away from him. Finally the sun came up, but one vamp tackled him over the edge, he threw the vamp off of him before grabbing the side of the cliff he shifted again, his hands gripping the rocks with his hands hard enough for his knuckles to turn white.

"Thank you God." Natalie said as she ran in the direction she thought she saw her savior get to looking all over for him not knowing where he could have gone to when she reached a body of water stopping and being confused. Where was he?

[Drakon rilt]

Justin looked below him, yah that was a bad idea. He shivered at the thought, of dropping that height. He gripped tighter to the rock, he heard footsteps he knew it wasn't Vampires. "Natalie?" He called out not hearing the footsteps anymore he sighed.

[ladyonyx04]

Natalie smiles relieved. "Yeah its me." She answered once more moving around. "You near by?" She asks feeling the all nighter she pulled and the slight dehydration from the lack of water intake.

[Drakon rilt]

Justin looked down one more time, "uhhh yah I'm hanging around literally I'm clinging to the side of the cliff need a little help here in don't know how long I can hang on here for." He swallowed as he felt his left hands grip lossening.

[ladyonyx04]

Natalie hurried to the cliff and bit her lip. She knew that she wouldn't have much leeway if she leaned down and saw a good sized branch. "I'll be right back no more than a couple of seconds." She said praying his strength would continue to hold as she rushed toward the big branch and back. "Grab onto this and I'll pull you up." She said extending it to him.

[Drakon rilt]

Justin was hanging on by one hand, he saw the branch he swung his weight back and forth till his left hand caught the branch. Then his right, "alright I've got it." He looked over his shoulder one more time, down at the water below him he wasn't panicking anymore.

[ladyonyx04]

Natalie pulled at it with all her might backing up as she did, doing her best not to fall over from the weight gritting her teeth as finally she pulled the werewolf over the edge and she fell down both with relief and exhaustion.

[Drakon rilt]

Justin laid there on his stomach, glad he felt the ground under him again. He rolled over onto his back, now that there was light, a person could see a tattoo on his left shoulder marking him as a werewolf. He also had medium build, and no t shirt from the tests Dracula did on him.

[ladyonyx04]

Natalie sat up with a bit of effort to look over the man who had saved her and who she had saved in return equally. She took in his appearance not having even believed to think his kind existed and smiles glad that she had done something seriously stupid to find that they did exist. "What was going on in there?" Natalie asks curiously.

[Drakon rilt]

Justin laid there looking at the sky, "Dracula was trying to find a way to control us werewolves with us he could take back the world from the humans he was trying to find out how though he found me an took me captive to try and find that way with all the tests he did." He looked at the sky happy that he could see the sky again.

[ladyonyx04]

"Bastard. I thought he was dead though. Well I suppose not all myths are linked with truth. I'm glad you're out of there though. Do you know if hebhas been successful? If not and there are others still there and being used, we're going to have to stop Dracula from getting control of the world." Natalie says. For if that were to happen an all out war would occur.

[Drakon rilt]

Justin sighed as he slowly got to his feet, "there are no others there if there were I would be able to tell. No he hadn't been successful in his attempts so far." He looked over, the forest below him. "I made sure the others were out of his reach, all I know is that they'll be looking for me at night."

[ladyonyx04]

"That sucks. I this k if we take the head of that in charge they will not know what to do with themselves. At the least we should make sure he can't do that again."

[Drakon rilt]

Justin sighed, "then if we have to take out Dracula then I have to fight him he can die like a normal vamp but is immune to holy water." He looked over his shoulder at her, "I'll come over at noon I guess then we can talk on how were gonna get in there without being seen I don't think your parents are gonna let a guy with no shirt on oh the names Justin Thomas I think I can find my way to your place only have to follow your scent." With that, he shifted standing on two legs he looked over his shoulder once before he jumped landing on his legs and running toward his place.

[ladyonyx04]

"Don't have parents." Natalie said half to herself as she stood up going back to the city where she lived settling with the other misfit kids who were left for dead having a small infant in her arms singing the little one to sleep. To the house she was designated "second mother" as the first was often somewhere or another. She had stolen some money before getting to the house and bought enough food for the entire house which wasn't easy since there were ten kids/teens living there. She did her best to give those younger than her a good education if not proper by letting them learn their numbers and words. "Alright you kids. Foods on." She called placing the baby in her crib as she slept peacefully on. The kids having smelt the feast had already sat at the made table one of the teens having helped with that. It wasn't often that they got to feast, so they treasured each morsel getting into their bellies.

By noon, Justin was following his nose into town. Following Natalie's scent, to a place he never suspected he was ever going to. He quietly knocked on the door wearing a black shirt fresh pair of jeans with boots his black hair had a messy look to it as he stood there.

[ladyonyx04]

A young girl opened the door pushing up a pair of glasses that were a size too big on her face. It was the only way she could see though. "Who're you?" She asked looking at him scrunching her nose. "Look tew old te live here." She said.
"Michelle I said to enounciate your words. We do not live in the slums!" Natalie yelled from somewhere in the house, restraining two young boys sitting on them until they calmed the hell down. Michelle looked bashful and invited Justin inside. "Come in. May...I offer...you...water?" She said doing her best not to slur or speak in the way that she had, as she was being taught.

[Drakon rilt]

Justin smiled at that, kneeling down to the kids level. "I would like that how about after I talk with Natalie I can teach you a sport I know of then once I'm done teaching you we can have some fun alright?" He smiled at the girl in front of him.

[ladyonyx04]

Michelle smiles and nods as she went to the kitchen to get a cup and put some water in it. "Natty! You have a visitor!" She calls.
"I hope you two learned to not get in a scruffle but not to underestimate someone no matter their gender. Do not let me catch you again." Natalie warned the two kids who kicked at the dirt but agreed as they didn't wish to upset her. She was the stable thing they constantly saw. She sighs and sees Justin. "Oh hi. Sorry these two were misbehaving again." Michelle carried the cup carefully and extended it to him.
"Your water." She says beaming when she got it right on the first try.
