Ebony twisted under the vampire, getting out of it's grip with only a broken collar bone, which would heal quickly. She stood back, holding her weight with only three legs while her arm healed. Her tail sprawled out wards, and the hair on her spine lifted. She snarled furiously and the vampire prepared to attack once again, and she wasn't sure if she would be able to wiggle her way out next time.
Then, a large wolf flew through the air and to her side. She jumped back, ready to strike if she had to, but then it's scent blew over her. Shape shifter.
But she was also confused. A wolf? How was it possible? The Jeaga were only able to turn into Panthers. Was there another tribe able to turn into large beasts?
She cast those distracting thoughts away, and focused on the problem at hand. At one sniff, she could tell there was a human close, very close actually. As she turned in it's direction, she saw a woman laying on two towels. I see, Ebony thought. This wolf must have been here with her. She is probably his other half. If only she could communicate with the wolf, like how she used to with her brothers and sisters. Then maybe they would have a chance.
So Ebony turned back to the vampire, who was now hesitating at the sight of two giant animals. She licked the dripping blood from her chops, and then stood on all fours, ready for battle.

"O-Okay." Kerrigan stuttered to Ted once she realized that the panther was fighting a vampire, and she could tell that it was not following the 'vegetarian' diet. She pulled her legs up to her chest, and wrapped her arms around her knees. "Be careful," she said quietly before Ted burst into his wolf form and joined the panther.

Ted looked over the panther with the corner of his eye. He could tell her leg was hurt and possibly her shoulder. That wasn't good. He focused back on the vampire. Newborn. Crap. Ted let out a growl, preparing to spring.
He pawed the sand for a half second but then he threw back his head and let out a loud bray, the tone was harsh and low pitched but carried across the quiet area of the beach and he knew his pack brothers would be able to hear him. That or they were already following the scent trail of this vampire. His suspicion was answered after a half second when Sam Uley, his pack leader entered his consciousness.
On the beach! A human is with me and another shape shifter. Hurry, its a newborn. Ted thought urgently. Sam agreed with him and Ted heard Sam let out his own bray that called those who could to him. Three other pack brothers entered his consciousness but he didn't have time to see who it was because the vampire jumped at the panther. Ted jumped forward and met the vampire halfway, crashing into it broadside, his shoulder taking the blow. The sound of rocks colliding cracked through the beach and then he jumped on the fallen vampire, his teeth going at its neck.

The wolf howled into the sky, his bray echoing into the forest. She stood there, still as a board as she waited for something to happen. As her eyes were locked onto her target, another howl sounded off into the distance.
And then the vampire jumped through the air, toward her. She coiled her muscles and crouched to meet him mid-air, but the wolf got there first, taking it down into the sand. She let out a low hiss, cursing him mentally for interfering. She didn't need help with a simple vampire.
As the wolf bit down on it's neck, three wolves came bursting out into the beach. Her lips curled and she snarled at the newcomers, her tail whipping back and forth in aggravation as her eyes gleamed their yellow-green.

Kerrigan clamped her hands over her ears as the clash of battle sounded around the beach. As Ted had jumped on the vampire, she became worried. It would be horrific if she gained and lost her only friend within a two day period. So, she kept her eyes open instead of her ears, watching intently. They were all so fast, a blur of colors as they moved; she almost didn't see anything.
Then three more giant wolves burst out of the trees. So, she was finally meeting the pack. She wished that it wasn't under such horrible circumstances.

Ted wasn't really paying attention to the other shapeshifter, but one of his brothers was. They had never met anyone else other than wolf-shape shifters so the panther was a first for them. The other two jumped on the vampire, ripping off appendages and chunks of body parts while Ted still worked on ripping off the head. The snarls died into the afternoon and then two of the wolfs ran into the woods.
The two figures came back in human forms wearing nothing but shorts. They grabbed pieces of fire wood and one of them produced a lighter and started a fire in the fire pit. Ted and Sam grabbed the remains of the vampire, still twitching and living, and threw them into the fire, turned the flame a sick blue and purple blend for a moment the smell was disturbingly sweet.

Ebony stood a safe distance away from the wolves, her fangs bared and growls softly thrumming in her chest. She had no idea that there were other tribes that also had the ability to change. She circled around them slowly, her hackles raised and she shuffle closer to the trees, In case she needed a quick escape.
The disgustingly sweet smoke got to her then, making her want to sneeze and cough because of the smell. At least they knew what to do with a vampire.

The panther growled at the wolves, and Kerrigan was slightly worried that the vampire wasn't the only danger. The other wolves joined Ted, and they ripped it into pieces. Kerrigan shuddered as she saw the limbs twitch and as one of the arms tried to get a grip into the sand, so that it could crawl away. And where was all the blood? They consumed so much, but didn't bleed when literally ripped apart?
A few wolves went into the forest. A few moments later, two men came out; they obviously had changed. They gathered drift wood, hording it into a pile while Ted and one other gathered the pieces. The wood caught ablaze, and then they threw each limb into the fire. Kerrigan could hear the popping of the flames as it consumed the vampire's flesh.
A thick, purple-like smoke wafted into the air, causing a large pillar of fog. The smell was sweet, like incense, except much too strong. The smell made her uncomfortable.
The panther circled around the pack, inching closer to the trees as it did so, and again, Kerrigan was worried that the panther would strike.

Ted glanced at Sam and then at Kerrigan, conveying his memories to explain who she was and that she could be trusted. Sam was pretty mad at him, but didn't say so, he told him to change so Ted went over to where his trunks had slid off in his change and he was so thankful they didn't get destroyed. He picked up the trunks with his mouth and glanced at Kerrigan, seeing that she was ok. Ted looked back at Quil and Embry, seeing them looking at the panther with wonder in their eyes. Ted glanced back at her seeing that she was still circling warily. Ted trotted into the woods and then came back in his human form, wearing only his trunks. He ran over to Kerrigan. "I'm so sorry you had to see that... God...That never should have happened...I'm so sorry."
Sam went over to the panther and sniffed, trying to see if he could hear her thoughts like he could with Jacob, but he couldn't tell if this girl was the leader of her pack or not. He glanced at her and then tossed his head at the other shape shifters, hoping he got the message that he was asking her to change.

She rolled her eyes as she realized he wanted her to change. She wasn't sure if she could trust them, but what was she to loose? She already had nothing. But that wasn't the only problem, what was she going to wear? She hadn't changed into her human self for years now, and she never carried clothes around with her. So she sat there, glaring at the wolf so that he would realize her complication.
But wait! she thought after a second of glaring, Is he the pack leader? She decided to try. Well, I'm definitely not going to stand here naked in front of you mutts. She thought, directing it to the wolf in front of her, hoping that he was the alpha.

When Ted came back to her in his human form, she was relieved to see his body unscathed.
"I'm so sorry you had to see that... God...That never should have happened...I'm so sorry."
"It- It's okay." she said, feeling a lot safer with him there. "Is that panther a shape-shifter?" she asked, looking over his shoulder when she stood up. "I thought it was only the Quilleutes, and that they only turned into wolves?" she said, trying to keep herself together. She wasn't going to look scared, but she was a little shaken up.

Sam saw she was without clothes a few seconds after he heard her thoughts. You are the pack leader? There are more of you? He couldn't help the questions he asked one after another. He let out a breath. I apologize. I can provide you with clothes, if you would permit me. Please excuse my behavior for we have never met another shape shifter outside of out pack.
Ted let out a slow breath. "Yes, I don't know where she came from, but yes she is a shape shifter." He told her. "We are the only kind of shape shifters that we know of. That's why I didn't tell you there were more...because I didn't actually know any." He looked her over, "Are you sure you are alright?"

Ebony kept her attention on the black wolf. She was right, he was the alpha. No, I am not the pack leader. She thought, keeping it simple. And I would greatly appreciate it if you got me clothes. she thought after a moment, then she blocked her mind from his and sat down gracefully after a quick, We will save the talking for when I am to my human self.
She sat tall, pushing out her chest arrogantly. She was too proud for her own good, but cats tended to be that way. She kept her chin high, the tip of her tail flicking up and down as she stared at the other wolves, taking them in for later.

"I should be asking you that question," she said, trying to keep the attention away from her. She still wasn't used to others, because of course, it had only been...maybe thirty hours since she had been completely alone, and she hated showing weakness, no matter how close she was to someone.

Sam was confused. If she was not the pack leader, then why could he hear her thoughts? It really made no sense. But, never matter. He turned his head back to the panther. Excuse me for a moment and I will be back with clothes. He told her then trotted off into the woods. Quil and Embry stood confused for a moment, before they turned their attentions back to the fire, making sure all of it burned.
Ted gave her a small smile. "The leech didn't even scratch me." He told her, puffing out his chest. "A parasite would have to be a lot smarter than that to harm me." He told her.
Sam came back about two minutes later with a bag in his teeth, clothes from Emily's in the bag for the girl, and his own shorts were balled up and tied to the string on his ankle. He dropped the bag in the sand. I apologize if they do not fit.
