shifters

part 3, let freedom ring!

        She was short with a dull brown, bob cut styled hair. She was wearing expensive looking red high heels, and seemed to be wearing a red dress under her lab coat.

"seriously who would wear such expensive attire to a job like this, she must be new.....or just another moron with a clipboard. she seems so easily distracted! All it would take to distract her is a simple flame to ruin her outfit!!" as I thought this I felt a familiar pressure on my head though nothing was there.

"We can only try..." Hiro's voice rang through my head.

"what?!..really you mean it?!." I couldn't hide the fact that on the inside, I was already getting excited.

"Yes we will give it this one try for this may be our only chance; don't worry about the guards at the door and fence towers, I will distract them while you and the others shift to your small animals and get through the fence.....just try not to touch the wire for it may have an electrical charge" He replied in a calming tone.

"just notify the other of what we are doing" I ordered as calmly as possible. "already done" he reported. I slightly nodded my head 

"NOW!" he hissed.

I focused on the woman's red stilettos as the pressure on my head released. soon everything but her shoes lost color and detail. Her shoes immediately caught flame. She screamed as if someone was tourturing her to death. So over dramatic.... In that instant moment I turned my focus on myself. I focused on the compounds that made me up, the element within those compounds, the atoms that made up those elements and rearranged them creating new compounds. I keep concentrated and before long I begin to loose height. I near the floor and my senses stimulate. I quickly make my way to the fence. my feline bone structure help me get through with ease. A snake and and a few rodents follow behind. My brother quickly shifted to a bird and flew into a tree, they kept running, but I stopped....someone was missing. I hid in a bush and looked back at the field area. At the fence there was a racoon attempting to dig a gap in order to get through. It was Komagi. I looked at the guards and amusement swept past me. Hiro froze the feet of the guards and their guns together so they could not pursue us at the moment.....but still, Komagi needed to hurry. He scratched intently at the dirt, and I all I could do was watch and listen.

*CRACK!!* The loud sound of ice breaking filled the air, I looked up and a guard had freed his gun and was already aiming for Komagi; and just before he pulled the trigger Komagi squeezed under the fence and came barreling towards the shrubbery I was hiding in. I hissed at him to keep running. He didn't argue and ran ahead to catch up with the others, I tailed shortly after. *CRISHH! CRACK!* The guards had freed themselves already;gunshots followed us not long after. "Shift to your larger animal so we can cover more ground! HURRY!!" Hiro's voice shot into our minds like a bullet. I focused and did what I was told. I began to speed up and cover more ground. heh... I guess fire isn't the only ability me and Komagi share, he is also a wolf." We were already catching up when I noticed a small cobra in the grass. CRAP! I had almost forgotten, Mei still hasn't accomplished shape shifting into a larger animal. I slowed and swept her in my jaws as gently as I could. We had then left the forestry and came up into a field. "NATSUKI!! QUICKLY LIGHT THE GRASS BEHIND US ON FIRE!! NOW!!" Hiro sternly ordered in an impatient tone. I slowed and complied, the dry grass easily caught ablaze and not long after became a scorching inferno. I quickened my pace to the front of the group next to my brother.
