Land-dwelling, underwater or roaming the skies, lose yourself to your inner beast. Wolves, jaguars, eagles, foxes, sharks. The world's a dangerous place...Are you predator or prey?

((yupp, u can choose to say what animal u are or keep it a mystery for a while, but sooner or later u have to say what u are :) ))
((Which animal? I like them all: Otter, Fox, or Raven))EJ ran quickly through the forest towards the inner lake. His feet flew over the stumps and fallen trees.
((Raven sounds awesome xD))Michelle ran swiftly through the woods, her feet pounding silently through the undergrowth. Her sharp eyes took in everything and her ears picked up anything. She leapt over boulders and splashed through small rivers.
EJ kept running towards a small cliff. He didn't slow down, he didn't stop, he jumped... over the edge of the cliff into space. He held out his arms and swan-dived into open air as he fell to the hard earth below. He opened his eyes halfway down and spun like a top, energy crackling around his body. He disappeared in a flash of light and in his place was a raven which cawed deeply and had a distinctive white slash down its back.
Michelle's head jerked in the direction of a raven's caw, eyes flashing. Her predatory instincts kicked in and she bared her fangs, the urge to hunt picking up in her.
EJ flew over the treetops and landed in a slightly lower branch and began to preen his feathers. They were never set correctly and caused discomfort.
Michelle heard the rustle of feathers further up ahead and she slowed down. Padding forward silently, she ducked her head and moved around a tree, spotting a big, black raven resting just on the bottom branch of it.
EJ transformed back into a person, his legs swinging on the branch as he hummed to himself.
Michelle narrowed her eyes and licked her canines. This would be a nice hunt. The raven had been a boy and she thought it would make a better meal than a scrawny bird. She took a step forward but didn't see the piece of twig there and the snap sound resonated throughout the woods as she stepped down onto it.
EJ's ears perked up and he looked directly at the spot where it came from. His eyes changed to the raven's and he saw a wolf there. He jumped up to some of the higher branches and kept watching.
Michelle let a low growl slip and she didn't bother hiding anymore. Trotting forward, she narrowed her eyes in annoyance, locked onto the boy who had escaped to the higher branches of the tree. She huffed out impatiently.
"Hello, down there," he called out. "And why might I ask are you sneaking about?"
Michelle's face formed a scowl, but it would look weird as a wolf, so she decided to gather up her energy and slowly shifted back into her human form, appearing with one knee on the ground in a half-crouch.
"Why, I do reckon that you are not a wolf?"
"Gee, I wonder what gave it away, smartass." she rolled her eyes and stared up at the tree, "You can come down from there now, the big bad wolf's gone...for now."
EJ floated gently down from the tree and looked at the girl. "I guess I'm not the only shapeshifter on the island then?"
She gave him a funny look, "You don't know?" she eyed him warily as he came to stand in front of her.
"I got ship-wrecked here a few days ago, and I haven't seen anyone else on the island."(GTG, just don't kill him)
((aw, kk, cya Edge! xD and lol, no she won't))Her eyes widened in realisation, "So you're from the ship...I thought there were no survivors..Trust me, the island's fuller than you think, and that's not necessarily in a good way."
Dawn huddled in a small hole under a tree root. As a chipmunk, she was able to hide easier than usual. She loved shifting into a chipmunk whenever possible, and it seemed like a good time. The human-wolf and human-raven were up above her, almost directly. She stayed absolutely still, making no noise. She wondered what the deal was about this ship.
"I can't remember fully what happened before, but I remember waking up on this island and knowing my name. Then I climbed to a clifftop and looked out to see if there were other islands. I lost my footing and fell, but I didn't die because I turned into a raven. I don't know what's going on here," he explained.
"Wait, were you a shapeshifter before you came to this place?" she asked, blinking. "There're parts of the wrecked ship scattered across the beach. I went to check it out once, but couldn't find out anything."
"I don't know, I've never fallen off of anything before so I might've been, but not known it. Once I came to the island and fell, I could turn into a raven, but I never had to before.
Michelle was silent for a while, thinking hard, "I think its the same for me. I was one of a few survivors in a plane crash and we came to this island. A couple of days later when I happened to be running for my life, one second I was running through the trees and the next I'm on all fours and furry."

(I'm top secret!)
I sat by the water
((Aw! So I can't eat you? ^-^ ))Dawn sighed. These people were so weird. They weren't born here? Then they should be kicked out to where they really did come from! (she was actually shipwrecked too, it just happened when she was eighteen months old so doesn't remember it). She scampered out from under the root, raised up her arms and screeched at Michelle and EJ. "I'm gonna eat you both! Run for your lives!"
Michelle jerked and stared down at the little chirping squirrel, her face amused, "I wonder..." she mused, thinking that chipmunk was acting way too human to actually be an animal.
"Wonder what?" Dawn asked, pausing. She loved wondering about things, and it would be fantastic if this big thing that wasn't from the island was wondering too.
((lol, ur so cuwte!! ^.^))She bent down, closer to the squeaking chipmunk. "Hey there, little fella." she murmured, eyes sparkling.
((Haha, thank you. ^-^))Dawn put her hands on her furry little hips. "Fella? Fella?! I'm a girl!!" She squeaked loudly, her whole body trembling with mini rage and frustration, her ears and tail twitching.
"Oh yeah? My claws and cuteness will drive you off this island and make you wish you had never come here!" Dawn took in a deep breath after she shouted all this. "I'm tired....." She muttered and sat down against a tree root, sighing deeply.
"You're a chipmunk though!" he cooed. "That makes you eight times for adorable than normal. I don't even know what you look like as a person."
"Huh?" Dawn looked down at herself. "Oh..... I'm a chipmunk!" She squeaked. "Must've happened while I was sleeping." She waved her hand in dismissal and turned into a human, with blonde curly hair, blue eyes, pale skin, and blue jeans and a white tee shirt. "So... You're human too right?" She asked, looking at EJ and Michelle.
"For right now," he said as energy crackled around him and he turned into a raven once more. Then he changed back.
"Got it...." Dawn nodded. Suddenly her eyes widened and brightened at the same time. "You can fly right?"
"Give me a ride and I might let you live." Dawn said, folding her arms and trying to look in charge.
"You're a chipmunk, remember that," he warned. "I don't have to do anything, but if you get off your high horse I might give you a ride," he smiled.
"High horse......?" Dawn tilted her head, completely confused. "You know what, you're bonkers, but I like you already. What's your name?"
"I'm EJ," he said. "It's a phrase from back home. Doesn't mean much."
"But it means something. And if something means something that something hasta mean something worth it or else it wouldn't even be a something!" Dawn exclaimed. "So what's it mean?" Dawn stepped closer, curious.
Michelle laughed, unable to help herself, "You're really hyper, then again, you are a chipmunk."
"She is quite a handful," he added, "but you seem nice enough so I think I'll give you a ride."
"Really? You truely mean it?" Dawn's eyes widened in disbelief and wonder.
He sighed, as he morphed from his animal form back to his human form, his hair concealing his eyes. He walked out of his cave slowly, sniffing the air with his heightened senses. (So.....can traits from the animals follow into human state? Ex. Better eye sight, smell, hearing etc.)
