Ray didn't know why, but she felt something was wrong. Though she hadn't known her sister long, she still felt a bond with her. And at the moment that bond was telling her to run for the tunnels.
The slim snow white wolf ran full pelt towards the tunnels. Keeping a keen eye on the surroundings. As the entrance grew closer and closer, the scent of human grew stronger, as well as that of other lycans. Two she recognised as Sealla's and Xavier's, the other was unfamiliar. Another scent reached her nostrils, it wasn't strong enough for her to know what it was, and that worried her.
Reaching the entrance she almost ran smack into a human about to escape. Planting herself right in the entrance/exit, she growled menacingly at the human. If something was wrong, she had no doubt it was this boy's fault. A loud howl escaped her, echoing through the practically empty tunnels.
Sealla? Xavier? What's going on? she sent to the others deeper in the tunnels.

".....Perfect." he exuted, his face blue both from brief exhuastion and his flabbergastation of the situation. The wolf now before him let out a haunting, lulling howl, begging the response of all the lycans. However, a hesitant ray of relief swept over him as he listened to the echo, his attention turning temporarily from the snow white one before him.
"That's not much of a response...." he asserted aloud.
"Perhaps they're out on the hunt? Well, whatever it may be, it seems you wish for me to stay a little longer. Its just....." Sam ended briefly as he elegantly pushed his Rheams glasses about an inch up the bridge of his nose. H then burst into an even faster sprint in the opposite direction, down a separate tunnel from wence he came.
"You're gonna have to play catch-up with my feet!" he called behind him as he disappeared into the darkness. Now it may have seemed folly that he just ran from them in their very own tunnels, as smell was every bit as helpful to them in this situation as sight. However, he was not going to cash in his chips yet, or in this case, his swords. Sam simply decided he should bide his time and wait until he gets the opportunity to give them the slip and escape.

Ray was momentarily taken aback by his outward calm, if she were in human form she'd have raised a brow, instead she just curled her lips.
Though Sam got a head start in his run in the opposite direction, Ray held the advantage. She was faster, and knew the tunnels better. Add that to her sense of smell, and her remarkable night vision, and he wasn't likely to get away.
Not bothering to break into a run, she followed him knowing the only way out was through her...or to the hidden exit which led to an equally dangerous place. Using her nose as a guide she moved easily and confidently along the tunnel.
Come out, come out, where ever you are she sent, her telepathic voice tainting and challenging.
A few more steps, another turn. These tunnels could confuse even the most adjusted lycan, yet the smell was a dead giveaway. And that's how she liked it...dead. The tunnels always seemed as they went on forever, and she knew this particular tunnel circled around and connected into the tunnel from which he had appeared. Therefore if he chose to not try his luck with her, he would inevitably land right back in the same tunnel as Xavier, Sealla, and Kage.
Finally the smell of the human seemed to be coming from right in front of her. And there he was, hiding like if it all were a game of hide and seek. Only in this game the stakes were much higher.
A low growl rumbled forth from deep in her throat, bouncing off the walls eerily. Her paws and fore legs were spread apart, ready to spring. Her claws were cutting marks into the tunnel ground. Purple eyes flashed pink as the she-wolf glared at the human, seeing him despite the shadows that clung to him. If he were idiotic enough to try to move, she'd have him pinned to the floor within seconds.
Don't try to run, it wont work. I don't need my sight to find you, all I need to do is follow your human stench. she sent in a ice cold tone, dripping malice. Be sides, you make an awful racket. I think they heard your heavy feet all the way in California. the last was added in a mocking tone.

OOC: What the...?! A cup?! Come ON now! That's just not fair! I'll bet you one million dollars that you had no idea that Kage would do that to you! That's not fair! Now who's God-RPing, hmm? You're NOT invincible, and secondly you're FAR outnumbered. I don't give a damned if your the Punjab on Sri Lanka. NOBODY is that good.
*pants* Ok...rant over.
EDIT OOC: And just to spite you Sam, even though you may be an experienced and veteran poster...he he...let's bring on the pain.
BIC:
The human flashed by even faster than Xavier expected. Furious, Xavier dashed after him, only to see the culprit turn down a circular path that led right back to Xavier. Xavier gave a predatory smile and turned on his heel, sprinting down the pathway on a collision course with the human. He saw the boy approaching and unsheathed his sword from his side and held it out behind him, ready to strike at a moments notice. Their footsteps ventured closer and closer to each other until finally Xavier was on top of the human. At the last second, Xavier switched his katana to his other hand and held out an arm perpendicular to the human's path. As the two passed each other, Xavier's locked arm connected with the boy's jaw, sending him flipping backwards to the floor. Xavier skidded to a halt and quickly ran beside the boy, holding the tip of his sword at the boy's throat. He kicked the silver katanas away from the boy's reach and motioned for his fellow Lycan to pick them up. His attention turned back to the boy.
"Now then...care to explain yourself? Or should I just slice your jugular right here and now and let you die a slow, bloody death?" Xavier gently moved the tip of his katana across the boy's neck and cheek, creating one long, curved red line.

ooc: *poke* Xavier, could you add an IC post to your rant, please? Even if he did god RP, use your lycan skills to get back at him...
[EDIT:] ooc: Thank you *curtsies*
IC:
Ray was surprised by Xavier's sudden and violent arrival. She watched unblinking as he managed to rid the human of his silver weapons.
A thin line of blood trailed down his neck from the cut caused by Xavier's blade, the smell was intoxicating and it was by sheer will power that Ray kept herself from ripping the boy's arm off. There would be time for that later.
Changing into her human form, she moved over to the boy who was being held at sword point. In one swift movement she tore his shirt away, moving towards the katanas as she did so. Careful not to accidently stab herself with the blade, she picked the weapons up in a firm grip and wrapped them both up in the shirt. Tieing the sleeves together to form a make-shift strap, she carefully slipped the blades over her shoulders to rest diagonally across her back.

(OOC) Right.....I really feel the love. Listen Xavier, with all due respect, I think that whole bit about god-RPing is just a tad unfounded. First of all, is it really so unfeasable for a professional on the job to not equip a cup? Its something that none of us ever actually SEE coming, but that doesn't stop guys from equiping them beforehand. I mean, nevermind using a bit of forsight. Secondly, with all that effort Kage made with switching places with Sealla and whatnot, all he does is make a bid for the nads. If I had used the whole cup ploy as an excuse to kick him in the face or something, then maybe we could call some type of penalty on God-RPing. But I did not touch ANYONE when I left that room in that post, did I? I thought not. And just to prove that I can get away with this, I'm gonna prove you both wrong here and now.....
(BIC) Now he was mad. And not only that, Sam was dumbfounded. He was astonished that he was not unconscious from being bludgeoned in the face by the butt of a sword, but it was with the tip of the blade, so he assumed that was what lessened the impact.
Why, of all things in the world, do the lycans guard these swords so fiercely? Had they been in the hands of someone with an actual agenda and a sharper technique, there would be much greater consequences tonight. A guy just can't earn a living.... Sam thought grudingly as he gingerly rubbed his now bruised cheek. Turning his head aside, he spat a bit of blood that began filling in his mouth. He felt yet another blade slide its tip against his skin, the second time this eve.
He then turned back, and realized that the lycan from earlier had torn up his shirt rather badly. In fact, she took it cleanly off. Fortunately in the motion though, the black metal grappling wire, bundled in his left breast pocket, fell out as she used his shirt to secure the swords. It fell next to the other lycan's feet, and Sam caught it before they could hear it fall to the ground. It was time to utilize the full twenty feet of detatchable metal this baby had.
First, Sam hurled his grappling hook around his wrist, and gave a sharp tug, forcing the blade to hurl off somewhere near. He then placed his feet flat on the ground while sitting in a deep squatting position. Sam then sprang up with all the force and weight in his body, head first into (Xavier's) solar plexus. They both landed on the female whom secured the swords moments before. All of them were either stunned or unconscious.
Sam, dazed and aching, retracted his grappling hook and reclaimed his shirt, along with the pilfered blades. He then ran back in the opposite direction yet again, speeding his pace more and more until he caught sight of the entrance once more. There were no lycans in sight, so he eased his pace, catching up on his breath.
Sam paused in mid stride. The cool night air was blowing against his chilled torso, sweaty, bruised, and mildly bleeding. He unwrapped the shirt, and removed one of the blades. Without little more ado, he dropped the left handed blade to the ground and resumed his escape. They had worked so hard to defend that which was theirs. Granted, he felt that it was something they truly had no need for. But this was a complicating issue he would have to resolve with himself on a later date. Perhaps they would be willing to tell him theirselves, if they were not more interested in killing him. He then began his long hike back to Hogsmeade in the clear night.

OOC: Oh, PLEASE! COME ON! REALLY NOW! I'm sorry, Sam, but this is just a LITTLE beyond ridiculous. By the way...in case you haven't noticed, Lycans are stronger and faster than any human. That being the case, we can't get knocked to the ground so easily and even if we were it isn't easy for us to lose consciousness. Also, no matter how far or fast you run, I promise you that Xavier will be close behind. BIC: Xavier hit the ground with a loud 'thump' and rolled to the side to avoid crushing Rayne. "Sorry, love. Must go!" Xavier sprang to his feet, ignoring the throbbing in his head and stomach, and took off after the thief. He gave a loud howl as he exited the Tunnels and changed into his Lycan form as he ran, slowly getting down on all fours and tripling his pace. His burning red eyes locked onto the human as he ran for sanctuary in Hogsmeade, but he would never make it. Xavier growled menacingly and leaped at the human as he ran down the pathway towards the town. As he flew through the air, he ripped the swords from the thief's back and swiped at the base of his neck and at his kidneys. Xavier hit the ground running, bringing up tiny clouds of dust as he skidded around and ran back towards the Tunnels. He bounded into the main entrance and flew through the hallways as fast as he could, going deeper and deeper into the Tunnels until he reached the old, abandoned part that the clan had never bothered filling in. Once in the area, Xavier made several abrupt turns and skidded to a halt in front of a large, circular oak door. Dropping the swords at his feet, he changed back into his human form and undid the complicated lock system that protected the items behind the door. Thirty seconds later, Xavier picked up the swords and stepped through the entrance. He quickly found an empty cubbyhole at the back part of the room and gently placed the swords in them, then changed back into his Lycan form and covered up the hole with a pile of dirt, smoothing it out to make it look like part of the natural wall. After he was done, he changed into his human form, walked out of the room, refastened the locks to the heavy door, changed into his Lycan form, and sped to the entrance of the Tunnels, where he waited in the shadows for any menace to return. Nobody was going into his lair anytime soon. OOC: By the way, Sam. In case you haven't guessed...Lycans ARE NOT allergic to the sun. Only werewolves are. We are not werewolves. You want werewolves, go read a horror novel. Sealla: PLEASE PLEASE don't take any of this the wrong way! I'm trying to make a point here...thanks, love. EDIT OOC: I hope you don't mind me taking the liberty of expanding the Tunnels to include the abandoned section, everyone. Seems like we need a safer place to store our valuables now. SECOND EDIT: There, Sam. Fixed. Happy now?

OOC: GRACE?! Who said ANYTHING about grace? By the way...I don't NEED Prozac, thank you. I'm perfectly sane as is. Also, check your first post. YOU YOURSELF mentioned how you knew that 'werewolves and Lycans were allergic to radiation from the sun'. WRONG! Also, I admit that in my state of...hightened emotion...I may have made a few mistakes. I'll fix those accordingly. Happy? And one more thing...I'M A FRIGGIN' LYCAN! I DON'T ABIDE BY THE LAWS OF HUMANS - MAGIC OR OTHERWISE! That means that I have free will to do whatever I want to whomever I want IF they either intrude into the Tunnels OR do anything that threatens the existence of the Tunnel clan, such as oh...I don't know...BARGING IN AND STEALING THE KATANAS AND HURTING SEALLA IN THE PROCESS?!?!?! Gee...maybe that's a good reason. *dripping with sarcasm* Also, there was plenty of "grace" in my final post. Your just too heavily blinded by your own ignorance to see it.
Hey...here's an idea. Let's wait for Sealla or someone else to get on and get an outside view of the situation. Who knows? We both may be right AND wrong. Imagine that...you being wrong. *is shocked* Ha ha ha...
WELL EXCUSE ME FOR BEING A FRIGGIN' NEW JERSEYAN! I was brought up learning 'cubbyhole'. That being the case, I can say it however I WANT.

*Sighs* Obviously people aren't reading the whole thing.I first introduced the grappling hook earlier in the thread when I was confined in the room with Kage. I used that ploy to help escape that room, and I used it again in that next situation.
We've sorted this mess out, so I propose deleting all this uneccissary OOC posts, for posterities sake. And for the dignity of this plot. Its not over folks, by any means.^^
(EDIT) And for pete's sake people, please READ all the posts before asking any direct questions about the happenings of this thread. I know the posts were lengthy, but that still doesn't change that you're missing a lot of important details, like how I left that room, or how I 'suddenly' had a grappling hook at the end. I can promise you people, all the facts are there. If not in my posts, then look in others. The lack of attention to detail in everyone is really starting to erk me. >_< If you don't listen to anything else I have to say, than at least take it up with me in PMs. There. That's Hopefully the end of anymore rants from me. Thank you.

Everything seemed to blur before her as the scene unfolded. Kage… then Xavier… then herself in another part of the chamber, watching Kage and the human. Then the human bolted… twice. Once being subdued by Rayne, the next successful.
Taking in a deep breath, then easing it out slowly, her legs buckled beneath her, causing the Lycan to look like a black fur rug on the dirt floor. As her beautiful feminine head hit the floor, everything went black.
The ring from one of her front ‘toes’ rolled along the ground from her foot, then fell flat a few feet from her.

OOC: Wonderful idea, Sealla.
BIC:
Xavier heard a 'thump' as something with significant weight hit the floor. Only one thought ran through Xavier's head: TSEALLA!
Xavier rushed back to where his love laid on the floor. Xavier stepped closer and felt something under his foot. Nervous, he swiveled his foot aside to find the ring that he had given her when they got engaged. He bent over and carefully picked it up off the floor. Two of the stones were missing...he'd fix that later. He gently put it in his pocket and knelt down by Sealla. He messaged Kage.
Kage! Get me some of that liquid you had used in the Hospital Wing! Quickly!
Xavier stroked Sealla's black muzzle gently and gently placed a hand over the wound where the Katana had sliced her muscle.
Rest, darling. We'll have you fixed up in no time.

Kage nodded, dashing off to his den. He rummaged in a roughly hewn wooden box, removing a small vial, and dashed back. "Here." He said.

(OOC: Gah! Sorry. I'll continue. ) BIC: Xavier snatched the small vial from Kage's hand and pulled off the cork stopper with his teeth, then gently talked to Sealla. "Sealla...open your mouth. I'm going to give you something to help rid the silver in your body." Xavier started by carefully pouring out a few drops of the liquid onto Sealla's open wound, causing it to make a quiet sizzling sound and then changing the color of the wound from a silver-red to a pale white as the skin attempted to regrow.
