Beats jumped awake, hands scrabbling at his headphones as the shriek pierced his skull. The tent was dimly lit with the faint glow of his shining eyelights, bright in their sudden wakefulness and terror. Green light joined the purple as Kin woke as well, brought out of his slumber by Beats' panting. A hand rested on his shoulder knowingly. "What did you hear?"

"The scream I heard before." He gasped, shaking as he clung to his headset. "It's looking for something, a bunch of somethings. And it's not nice. It's.. hungry. And angry. I.. we have to warn them. Kin, we need to warn the humans!" He begged, gazing into Kin's soft green lights. He studied the younger quietly.
"Fine. I'll get the other two up." He stood, leaning on his tail as he helped Beats to his feet. Then they teleported into a separate tent.
Dance yelped in surprise. "Geez! My Soul, ack. Don't scare me like that. Why are you two awake?"

"Something's coming." Beats explained, eyesockets wide. Dance froze. "You can feel it?" He whispered, nudging Alter with a bone attack.
"No, I can hear it. I think it wants the humans. It's big."
Dance frowned, Alter shifting around, groaning.
"Go look for Roran, I think he might be on watch duty right now. Tell him what you know and warn everyone you come across. I'll help as soon as this lug gets up. Go." He waved them out of the tent. His violet eyelights flicked between their faces. "Hurry." He vanished back inside, whispering to Alter as the other presumably woke up.

"Damnit." Kin muttered. He did not want to talk to any humans, least of all that haunted man. "Come on!" Beats urged him, taking him by the hand and leading him away.
Something made him look up.
There was some thing blotting out the moon, huge leathery wings faintly illuminated by the pale light. It was enormous and terrible, a wicked beak parting to emit a single, hellish cry.

The wail sent the pair of skeletons to their kneecaps, gripping their skulls in agony as animals everywhere burst into a cacophony of alarm.
"Stars Almighty." Kin whispered fervently when the shriek abated, his own voice muted in the wake of the ululation. A few tears slicked down Beats' face as the younger recovered from the noise, much more sensitive to sound than even he.
"You alright?" He immediately asked, tail curling around Beats' legs.
"F-fine. J-just need to get u-up." His teeth chattered as he stared up at sky in sheer terror.

Kin didn't hesitate, he felt Determination flood his cracked Soul, standing and scooping the smaller up in his arms. He saw humans all around, getting up and looking scared and confused, but it didn't matter.
They were prey to the beast above them all, rabbits scampering beneath a hunting eagle.

He spotted someone come yelling out of a tent, snarling as the idiot threatened to give away their position only for a dark figure to tackle them to the ground. Roran.
Kin teleported over. "Predator." He stated, sockets wide, eyelights small. "The animals are too loud." Beats clung to him, staring at the humans in equal fear.
"I know, we need to silence them." Roran groaned, standing as the other followed suit.

Steeling his nerves, Kin reached forward and grabbed Roran's good shoulder, tail wrapping around the other's leg before teleporting again.
They immediately went to calm the animals, not even reacting to the abrupt change in scenery with anything more than a blink, Kin setting Beats beside him so both could help. He kept glancing up at the vile thing just hanging in the sky, drifting in wide circles as it searched. His Soul hammered, and he felt weak with the fear as the crack in his core sent pulses of pain throughout his bones. He gritted his teeth and hummed softly at the sheep before him, who were afraid of him.
Understandable given his bloodline- but he needed them to shut up.

He smelt a new wave of fear from the humans, scrunching up his face as he peered up at the sky and saw why.
The damned thing was coming closer.
Twitching, he used his tail to help soothe the stupid animals as he tried to calm down. Roran worked beside him, despite an old wound bothering his shoulder.
