Jack cleared his throat, still avoiding his eyes he replied quietly. "Rivvon.... He's my brother." The memories Jack had of Rivvon were terrible. Jack being abused, teased, locked out of the house overnight....

Sapphire sputtered. "He's your.... Brother?" She was silent for a moment. "Dude, you got some serious family issues." She burst out laughing. "Does Rivvon have a screw lose or something?" She was flinging dand everywhere. Sapphire wasn't, well, very good at being serious.

So when she nearly choked on a chip she just coughed alot than started laughing up again.

Iris eyed Sapphire and was very creeped out and turned her gaze away. "Where is Rivvon now?" "Hopefully not close by?... "At all..." Iris was remembering every detail about the fight between her and Rivvon. She had given him multiple scars but he gave her just one scar. An awful scar. "It's wierd that you two are related." "Your nothing like each other!"

Jack shuffled his feet at Saphhire's reply, suddenly feeling extremely awkward. "He's somewhere on the other side of the country I guess, staying with my mother." 

He rubbed an old scar on his wrist from the time Rivvon had pushed him through a glass window. 

Sapphire stopped laughing slowly. "Wow, you guys are acting super depressing. What's with you guys and scars?" She finally was entirely human again, but still had an animalistic look to her.

Sapphire didn't have a single scar, not pysically act least. Sapphire as animal in a fight... She not someone you'd want to mess with. Even play fighting. That's why she tried to stay positive. "So... If I see Rivvon, can I turn into a tiger and eat him?"

Jack glared at her. "However much I may hate Rivvon, he's still my brother. I'll see you guys later." He turned and walked back towards the building.

Sapphire stared on blankly. "Did I say something wrong?" She tapped Iris. "Hey. Was it something I said?"

"no."  "he just won't admit it. "as soon as jack was out of earshot iris said, "yes." "even if jack says no." "i'd gladly join you too." "rivvon is just about the worst thing alive that i can imagine." "what do you say?"

Jack made it inside and went for his dormitory, heading up to get his stuff ready for his next class. Why does Rivvon have to be my brother? 

Iris sighed and got up. "We should be going." "We might be late otherwise." "Come on, I got to have you with me, otherwise I'd get lost!" Iris picked up her stuff and went inside.

Sapphire chased after Iris. "Didn't you hear? We've got the rest of the day off! Come on, wanna see the 'Animal Gardens'?" These gardens were made by bringing together many different animals so shifters could examine then to help master their shifting skills. There were also lots of water and different trees for matter shifters to practice with and alot of people come do it also helps humaniod shifters.

"Hey! Jack!" But he was gone. Oh well. "Come on Iris, follow me!" She ran towards a enormous greenhouse large enough for 5 buses to line up back to front and still have 3 yards in between. "Faster Iris!"

Jack was about to head down to class when he remembered that they had the day off. Might as well practice my shifting anyway.  He headed for the Animal Gardens.

Sapphire rammed into Jack at the entrance. "Sorry Jack!" But she quickly got up and ran inside. It smelled wonderful, like fresh backed cookies. "I love this! Komo! Komo!" She called out, searching for a specific animal. A huge 11ft long Komodo dragon came trotting.

"Komo! Come here big boy!" The creature made its way to Sapphire, reared up on it's back legs, and fell atop of Sapphire. "Your getting to big for that Komo!" She pushed him off but Komo presisted till she would let his head rest in her lap. "There ya go big boy." She looked to see if Jack or Iris had come yet, she couldn't tell. "Guys! Come meet Komo!"

iris ran in to see komo. instead she saw a komodo dragon lizard thing. "AH!" iris had always had a fear of lizards. she didn't really understand why because she was an animal shapeshifter. but there still always gave her the chills. "ummmm, he won't bite me or swallow me whole or anything, will he?" "if he does swallow me whole make him swallow a chair so i could sit down."

Jack stood up from Sapphire banging into him and he brushed off his legs before following them both inside. "Wow..." He breathed. He'd been in here before but he always went straight for Stormchaser - A large, male lion that he had raised himself. He was extremely fond of lions for some reason, and had traveled the world rescuing them. 

"Hey - have you se-" He was cut off by a massive roar as the large, golden-furry body of Storm appeared and came bounding up to him.

"Storm!" Storm also rammed into him and sent Jack flying against the floor, only to have Stormchaser land on top of him and start licking his face.

"I missed you too bud!"

(If you don't understand - Storm is Stormchaser's nick name XD)
