LEOS' POV.
I sit on the inside of the seat.
I stare out the window, nose near the glass.
I suddenly feel a chill, and see the colours shifting.
I look at myself, and see I'm changing too. I'm becoming a strange transparent purple blue.
I can see a bit through the Headmaster.
I ask her, "What's your name?"
She smiles, and replies, "Mrs. Snow. Your last name must be Kio, as that's Elis'."

I nod.
She smiles, and we get out.
I step into the snow, and feel at home immediately.
I leap into the snow, and realize I cut right through it. Like a ghost, no solid mass.
I run beneath the snow, and the Headmaster Snow appears beside me.
She smiles, and asks, "I'm not convinced this is your first time."
I smile, and let the cool sensation wisk by me and calm me down.
I yip in joy.
She asks me, "Did Eli find you?"
I nod.
She demands, "Did he say anything about overdosing on Porter Poison?"
I nod, and growl, "Loki did it to me, apparently. I got really really stupid, like a two year old. It was embarrassing"
She nods, and replies, "It happened to all of us, but he said after you closed your eyes, you became like a savage. He said you tried to bite him, but you hit the wall head on and passed out."
I ask, "I don't have poison though, do I?"
She shakes her head.
I nod, and ask, "Why'd I attack him though?"
She looks at me, and looks away.
I whispers, "Porters who overdose their victims tend to anger them. They tend to lash out, unfortunately. And it doesn't matter who it is."
I nod, solemn.
A big, silvery fox that was a light, clear colour stops us.
I skid to a stop.
He snarls, "Who's he?"
The Headmaster Snow corrects, "She is Leo. Elis' sister. She was the poor soul Loki poisoned."
He nods, and moves aside.
I thank him, and dash forward.
He looks at the Headmaster in confusion.
She looks at him confused as well.
I hear her behind me.
She asks, "Where are you going?"
I shrug, head up in relaxation.
She asks, "Do you have any idea where your headed?"
I shake my head, relaxed and taking in the scent of snowy air.
She informs me, "Your headed straight to the plaza. If you don't slow down you're gonna..."
WHAM.
I fall flat on my ars.
I'd collided with a big wolf of the same colour.
It helps me up.
We shake, and introduce ourselves.
He offers, "I'm Oscar. Who are you?"
I reply, "Leo. Sory about that."
He smiles, and replies, "I didn't see you either. Purple blue is really hard to see. Especially for wolves and foxes. I guess I'll see you at school."
I nod, and watch him disappear into the snow.
The Headmaster scowls.
She growls, "You should stay away from the wolves. They'll kill foxes on sight."
I look at her, and raise my eyebrows.
I ask, "Then why aren't I dead?"
She growls a warning.
She snaps, "Just stay on the fox side. If the wolves see you, oh goodness, you'll be in trouble."
She ushers me away, but pases through me.
She growls, "Stop it! Now come here!"
I freeze to the spot.
She passes through me again.
She growls.
I follow, with a vow to prove her wrong.
Oscar seemed nice enough.
The Headmaster leaps onto the snow pack above, and I leap up too.
I see row on row of dens.
She drops a key over my head on a chain.
I look at her, and she disappears below.
I look around, and suddenly a bunch of other foxes rush out, and straight at me.
I take off, scared.
I try and find my den, but the key never fits.
I see but one fox left.
A snow white fox bigger than the average fox.
I raise my hackles.
It backs off, and trys, "Calm down dude! I won't hurt you. I need to sign you into the network."
I lower my hackles.
He asks, "Name?"
I reply, "Leo Kilo."
He looks at me.
Suprise covers his face.
He asks, "Elis' kit sibling?"
I nod.
He smiles, and walks closer.
He greets, "I guess I'm your uncle then. I'm Lito, and I guess I don't need to ask you anything else. But.. why are you such a purple blue?"
I sigh, and explain my transformation.
He nods, and we part ways.
I continue trying to find my den.
Ater a while, I sit down.
Exhaustion covers me, and I fall asleep under the snow.
