The Tamer and the Trainer by Wild101Life and Kurayami4Ever

Chapter 3; The Stranger

Note: The Stranger has transform. Leo is released.

(Kimber's POV)

The mysterious man transformed into a Polar Bear. Their hasn't been an evil mimic since they started pairing Trainers and Tamers together.

I watched Leo helplessly on the other side of the shifter. Unlike Barkly, Mason and I, Leo doesn't have full controls over his powers. I called Tigris and Falco out from my mark, while Mason called Canis and Lilly. Barkly shifted into a wolf, but Aldion didn't do anything.

We waited for the shifter to move to see what he planned on doing. But the stranger simply sat down.

'Ah, I see. He's a Trainer.' As I transform into a Tiger, I rushed at the bear but ended up not being able to move.

'Why can't I move?'

"Don't get any closer, it's some type of spell!" I hissed to them. Barkly turned back to herself.

"Kimber are you ok!?" Barkly said as she came forward, but the spell didn't restrict her movement

Mason made a growl like noise in the back of his throat. "It only affects Mimics!" He growled in frustration, making sure to stay far away from us, fearing he might be restricted as well.

Leo spoke with a calm voice explaining our situation. "It's okay, I did the spell Niemph taught me. It restricts and freezes a Mimics powers."

"Well could you at least unfreeze me!" I growled, though I was impressed by his powers. Leo released me from the spell, but kept the polar bear trapped by it.

"Leo?" Mason started, baring his teeth. Confused on why Leo is able to use spells.

"Calm down, since i'm a Fairy, I have access to certain spells." The blonde boy said.

The Vampire walked next to me with a small smile as he clapped his hands. "Excellent, you all pass!" Then as if he wasn't their to begin with, he vanished into thin air.

"What just happened?" Leo asked confused, he lowered his guard on the bear.

The intruder was freed, and we all took a defensive stance quickly.

"Don't be alarmed," he spoke in a way similar to my father. I didn't call back Tigris and Falco though, still not fully trusting the stranger. He shifted back to his regular form and held his hands up. "I'm Will, your Trainer. Come, we have much to talk about at HQ."

Once it was apparent that we had calmed down and had a decent understanding of the situation, the man strolled to the back of the barn and vanished. We followed in mild confusion. 'Well, that was certainly interesting.'

(Mason's POV)

'Trainer, trainer! How is he suppose to be our trainer, when he decides scaring the hell out of us at our first meet is the best way to test us?!' I can tell that i'm not going to like this guy in the future.

He hasn't even introduced himself, at least have some decency. I rubbed my temples as I lead Canis and Lilly after our new trainer. 'I can already feel a migraine coming on.'

The others had already calmed down after the mishap. I seriously can't understand how they can trust people so easily. Just because he surrendered, doesn't mean he's on my okay list. He's gonna have to earn my trust.

Note: Mason has trust problems due to the fact that his mother was killed by a hunter virus that affects the Dark and Light elements and animals. It's similar to rabies but more dangerous were your spirit animal can get it and can transfer to it's partner.
