Ziva Mason
The little house stood out in the woods, rarely disturbed in its little piece of paradise. The black shutters were crooked and rickety, swaying in the light wind. Its still interior was dark with near vacancy, but some one did live there. Though most of the younger kids in town would disagree, others knew better. In the forest, obscured by the large oak trees, a large figure lurked, watching the grounds with bright intent eyes. The creature's paws carressed the leafy grounds in a silent saunter, breathing evently, catching any and all signs of life, and waiting warily for anything to happen. Tension was high in the surrounding places. People knew war was to start soon. And she watched, yes, Ziva Mason watched, her dark grey fur bristling at the slightest sounds. There had been no sights of any other creatures for at least a week, but everyday, Ziva would saunter in circles around her house in the dark woods, just waiting. For some reason, she was always so wary that some one would come after her, and she wanted to be ready.
Dean Frome
Dean Frome lay sprawled over his bed in the early morning hours as the sun climbed higher in the sky. It was Saturday. No school, and no football practice. Sleep was his best friend now, and whenever he could catch a quick wink, he would. His dark brown hair was mused across his scalp in an array of spikes, his mouth half open with the pillow over his head. Dean's parents werent coming to visit for awhile, so now he culd bum it out some. In his own little apartment in the town of Spring Grove, life was changing, and he knew it, but would not accept it. He still could not decide just what to do about the whole thing, and would hold off on the decision for as long as possible, and sleep was the only time he didnt have to worry. His parents had already chosen their sides, and now they were pressuring him no end and he wouldnt take it for much longer.
