But this world lives inside a tiny music box that once you open it and listen to it's song...it takes you and traps you into this world. Some of the people who have been caught by it get transformed into one of these creatures, and some others don't and they have to defend themselves from said creatures to survive. So, what will become of you once you listen to the Music Box's Melody?

human -

wolf -

Personality: Her wolf's instinct is very strong, and she has trouble with it constantly. She's very reserved normally, but she's not afraid to voice herself. Rather hesitant around people, but curious. VERY honest - she can hear when people lie by their heartbeat, and she doesn't like hearing it from herself.

He doesn't know pain, and for a while thought that everyone else was the same, so he would hurt them not understanding the severity of some of the things he did until his brother found him confused over a corpse, wondering when they would wake up. He then came to understand that he was alone with this ability, and basically went crazy with the thought that everyone would die except him. He regresses almost constantly, acting very childish at times. He's a sucker for candy, and mostly tries to avoid people because he doesn't want to get attached, but he's very lonely.

Nice charries! I'm waiting on Viviana but if you want we could start?

go ahead~

((Okay! Sorry for the delay, my internet went wacko and I had to use my phone as wifi hotspot and stuff so I just got back on.))

Jak Austen

His vision seemed blurry as Jak opened his eyes, only to not be able to see anything. He was in the pitch black and that was a fear he always had. A fear that he would be consumed into the darkness of night.

Where am I?

Suddenly Jak saw a faint luminous light. When he opened his eyes up more he saw that this light had slightly lit up his surroundings, it gave the trees around him a pale glow.

--A...forest?

Jak could then hear the sounds of owls hoo-ing and insects chirping, and some other noises that cause his blood to go cold. Adrenaline then had kicked in slowly. He couldn't remember a thing that had happen before he woke up.

He heard the noise again, the rustling of some leaves. The noise that sounded like someone or something was nearby...

The male stood up now, and his adrenaline was coursing through his veins. He suddenly remember that his brother Lou was no longer with him.

"Lou!"

Louis "Lou" Austen

Lou's body became sore and tired as he began to wander the forest. It had been a good two hours since he had woken up in this...dark forest. He sat down by a trunk of a tree and rested.

He didn't remember what brought him here, he was worried he was kidnapped and left here to die. But he couldn't recall anything that would lead him to that conclusion. All he remembered was a song. A melody that chimed in his ears for a brief moment before he felt like he was being watched.

"Who's there?" he called out, keeping his shaky voice confident and strong. He then pulled out his pocketknife from his pocket and held it close to his chest. "Show yourself!"

Aileen Swan

Her senses heightened as she could sense some new visitors to this world in the werewolves' forest. Her wings began to flutter with the curiosity she had.

"Well well well..." Aileen spoke to herself, "...let's see what's going to become of these new friends..."

Wolf

I wander in the darkness, the wolf's eyes making it possible to see. The cold was kept at bay for now by my coat that I had...acquired, but sooner or later it would be too cold for the wolf to allow me to remain human. Every day, I could feel her draw nearer in my consciousness. This was her body too, after all. Wouldn't help if I went hypothermic because of a cold night...

I freeze at a sound, a soft even rhythm - although it was slightly fast - that the wolf recognized immediately. A heart. I glance over in the direction, feeling the draw to wander closer. Curiosity. ...Could at least see what it was...

I silently move towards this animal, and wolf's instincts rise in me. A human It was a human. I feel my stomach drop in slight panic as I back away, although the wolf is just pushing me forwards. I hiss a pained breath at her past elongated canines, trying to stay in control.

*poke*?

((okay, you already said yes, but may I join~~))

Since BB said it was okay on the phone~~

Jak

"Lou where are you?!" Jak hollered to the top of his lungs that felt like they were about to collapse from the lack of oxygen. But he was getting a perfect amount of oxygen as it was...it must of been the adrenaline kick.

He began to get up and search the surrounding area around him, but he felt pangs in his muscles and he fell down to his knees. He wasn't able to handle the pain, he felt like he was being shredded apart.

Something was wrong, Jak looked at himself to see if there was any scares or gashes that were on him, but nothing. He quickly looked up at the cloudless sky and noticed the full moon above him.

He felt hot flashes and aches in his muscles again, he felt his body changing; shifting even. He hollered loudly as he could feel something cannibalistic coming out of him.

Lou

Lou slowly put the pocket-knife back to his side, sighing as he thought what he must have saw was probably a small animal or something. He noticed the small scratch on his arm; probably from when he was running through the bushes before he stopped.

Ungracefully, he used his pocket-knife and ripped off the hem on one of the leg's on his jeans and used it as a makeshift bandage. He rested his head back. His vision going black as he fell asleep.

Aileen

When Aileen arrived into the werewolve's forest, she noticed many faces. Some faces were new and some were old. But she was more interested in the new faces.

"Looks like we have even more newcomers." she whispered to herself as she noticed a even newer presence coming from somewhere in this land. "Time for some more exploring!"

"Sam!"

Britney tore through the trees, not caring as they slapped against her cheeks and hands, sometimes drawing blood as they did. Her breath was coming in short gasps from running, her feet torn from running over rocks and twigs with nothing to protect them.

"Sam?!"

Even as her call had begun to fade from the air around her she heard the small whimper from not far away. A sigh of relief escaped her, Britney searching the undergrowth until she located the small boy cowering at the base of a tall tree. He barely looked up as she arrived, his eyes going wide at the sight of her.

Wordlessly he sprung to his feet, locking his arms around her as soft sobs tore through his body.

"Hey now..." Britney whispered, rubbing his back as a few tears continued their ways down her cheeks. "You need not to wander off like that... you know you aren't supposed to. "

"I'm sorry," Sam managed, his voice cracking as he stepped back and swiped the tears away from his face. "I didn't mean to... I turned around and you were gone."

His face slowly became collected, a bit of shame flashing across it for a moment. At his age, Sam decided, he shouldn't go crying when he gets lost. It was baby stuff to do that.


((Wasn't sure how to start so I hope that gives you something to work with))

((That's fine! I think I know what to do next with this...mwhaha))

Aileen

The dark fairy loomed over the siblings (Sam and Britney) as she debated whether or not to descend upon them. It would give them a good scare, but nothing more...

Until she hear the howl coming from nearby... Ah, must be the new wolf shifting.

A brilliant idea popped into her head and as soon as she finished hatching it she was falling down gracefully from the branches above them and greeted them in the diplomatic of ways.

"Greetings, I sure hope you are enjoying yourself in the world inside the Music Box?"

Jak

"For Christ's sake, Lou!" he called one more time, until the pained took his voice away from him. He could feel his bones moving, shifting into something different. It was pain like no other.

He could feel like he was becoming a new being, he felt like an animal. He just couldn't pinpoint what animal he was becoming until...

Meat.

I need...flesh...meat!

Something had happened to him, suddenly...he was...

A werewolf?

Lou

Lou decided that it would be best if he camped out at his current spot, but he could hear his voice being called by a male voice more and more. Until it went dead silent in the woods.

He got up, painful as it was, and began to limp towards where the voice was. "Jak?"

Britney jerked back, pushing Sam behind her. Her eyes locked on the girl who had spoken to them as she tried to decide what to do. Replying would be in her best interest she guessed.

"You could say that," Britney said, eyes narrowed slightly.

Sam peeked out from behind her, his eyes wide and scared.

Aileen

Aileen hear the howl again, louder and closer now. The plan was looking like it'd be easier to do now.

"It seems like you're not the only ones in the forest here." she smiled, extending a hand as well. "As the only fairy in these neck of the woods, why don't I take you and the others that have just entered back to the meadows? It would be of your best interests."

Another howl. "You don't want to stay in the werewolf territory for long."

Lou

"Jak where are you?" he called, his stamina already on empty. He clutched a nearby tree trunk and tried to catch his breath.

Lou then heard some rustling in the bushes, his breath stalled as he looked around frantically. "Jak? Is that you?"

Jak

Being a wolf was odd, strange even. Jak couldn't tell what he was doing or going hardly. It was like he had no say in what he was doing anymore. He couldn't control his instincts as a werewolf.

He began wandering the woods, hungry to find something and eat it whole. Then he found his brother Lou.

Lou!

He tried calling out his brothers name, but all he heard was a howl. It seemed to startle his brother more. He couldn't let Lou see him like this. Jak tried his best to hide in the bushes.

But the animal in him wanted something from Lou...

Britney hesitated, glancing from the fairy to Sam and back again. She wouldn't even consider saying yes if it wasn't for him. She had to protect him, though. The word werewolf made her shiver, although considering she'd just found herself in the middle of some kind of forest after being sucked into a musicbox... she guessed that wouldn't be the strangest thing in the world.

"Alright," she said after a moment. "Lead the way."

Lou

When Lou caught sight of something animal-like in the bushes his body jolted as he fumbled to grab a hold of his pocketknife. The growl from the...wolf's growl was getting lower and harsher as it exposed itself.

"--!" he let out a sharp breath as he fell back against the tree trunk, trying to cower away from the wolf. His heart pounded louder and louder in his ears as he held his pocketknife in front of him to defend himself.

Aileen

The fairy smirked, "Wise choice; this way." she gestured to the back of her and began to take them towards where the werewolf and his prey were at. Hoping the others would keep up but be careful.

She wasn't going to play babysitter all day.

Jak

Jak's form made its way towards his brother, it's mouth salivating and drooling; ready to get a taste of Lou's flesh. He tried his best to take control, to make the beast he was becoming not harm his brother. But his body wasn't responding anymore.

They were both completely hopeless.

Britney hesitated once more before reluctantly following the stranger, Sam's hand firmly gripped in her own. She wasn't letting him go if she could help it.
"Britney...?" Sam mumbled as they walked.
She glanced down at him. Sam's free hand was clasped over his throat.
"What's wrong?"
He hesitated for a moment before shaking his head and dropping the hand.
"Nevermind, it's nothing."
