So as I stepped out in to the night, the animal in me took over. My body switched over to alert mode. As I walked in to the night, I thought of all that I had on me. I had one pear of clothing,that was what i wore. I had 2 small daggers and a small whip. Then I had a small bag of jewels and a small amount of money. I also had some herbs on me. That was all I had to my name. As I came to the crossroads that were about 50 feet from my town . I had to think about what my grandmother had said. "Remember dear go left and you face the mountains and the thick woods,Go right and you face the plains and the swamps. Which ever way you go dear you face dangers of that way. Just like life,either way you go you face danger." As I remembered her words ,it was like being 10 all over again. When she had taken a group of us kids out for one of her walk abouts. As I looked both ways, I thought about pro/con of both ways. If i go left I could use my shifting powers with out any draw backs, but it was the longer way to the next town. But if I go right I could have more kills and what every my kills had on them,but I would have to do it in human shape. Thought which way would my grandmother take. She would go left,she thought the slower you do things the better off you'd be. So I turned and headed into the woods that would lead to the mountains. It was darker then I thought it would be. So I knew if I wanted to get through without getting caught in the elf's traps I'd have to shift. This part of the woods was home to the clan of silver blood, they were very touch who passed through there home. But which ship should I shift in to. The fox or The panther. I thought and I shifted in to the fox, after all it was smaller and if there was any elf's in the area it'd be a little harder for them to see me. I jumped up in to the first tree that I came to and started to sneak through,making sure I used the shadows fully
