West

The western part of the city is often home to the poorer residents. Here there is a grunginess that permeates the town from the graffiti on the once cleaned brick buildings to the broken and unmaintained architecture. Crime runs high within the western half of town, making it the home of supernatural gangs of illicit activities. Such activities are rarely reported, however, and most residents are distrustful of individual's of authorities, and often let the powerful supernatural beings sort things out amongst themselves. Be careful wandering the Western streets after the sun falls.

She didn't blame Tetradore for not making time for her. She was sure he was busy with pack duties and running the Ark and the arena and whatever side businesses he got up to, as well. She never would ask for more because she already felt rich. Maybe that's what came from a former life of being hid away and abused on the regular but now, she felt content with her life. It was like for the first time she felt truly free, like she could breathe again. It felt amazing. And she didn't feel alone. She had a pack and she felt like she belonged, even if she wasn't as close with some of the members as she wanted to be. She had her best friend and she was slowly but surely making friends with the rest of the pack as well. It felt good to belong. When he asked her to join him, she had her curiosities but she chose not to voice them. It didn't really matter where they were going or what they were going to do when they got there. As long as she was helping Tetradore and the pack, she would do whatever she could.

When she asked after food, he said they could have lunch after the adventure and she smiled and nodded, satisfied for now. She followed him down into the garage, eyin the cars with a mixture of curiosity and caution. The idea of riding in motorized vehicles still felt foreign to her and she didn't trust it but she trusted Tetradore and that would be enough for now. She usually just walked or ran everywhere she needed to go but she knew him and Tobias had a thing for fast cars. They played enough video games with them in it. Lights blinked on a certain car and she jumped a little, her gaze sweeping to Tetradore to see he held keys to it. Alexander had a car that did that too but it still scared her every time. Still so....foreign. Even so, she gave him a sheepish smile and walked to the vehicle with him, sliding into the passenger seat as he started the engine.

She could tell by the vibration that there was power under her feet and she didn't know whether to be fascinated or terrified. She glanced over at Tetradore. "How long have you been driving, if you don't mind me asking? Was it always so easy to trust that these things weren't going to get a mind of their own and kill you?" She knew it might sound stupid but she couldn't help but feel intimidated a little by the power rumbling beneath the hood in these vehicles. She'd seen people get hurt in them, and worse. When he pulled out onto the dock, she turned her head to look out the window, still mesmerized by the Ark and the lights that still glowed in the windows on the deck. It was home to her already. Maybe it always had been. When he pulled to a stop and said they were here, she turned her head to glance at him in curiosity before looking around at the crates.

Her brow lifted in expectation of an explanation of some sort and she listened as he told her about the Dark Council trying to keep one of their shipments. She scowled thoughtfully, her curiosity getting the best of her. She wondered what was in that box that was so important but if it was important enough to warrent stealing it then surely it meant something to Tetradore so that would have to be enough. She exhaled and nodded, her brows furrowing in determination. "They didn't call me Silk for nothing back home. What does the box look like? Will I know it when I see it?" She knew her small size as a Were and her silent paws would come in handy with this mission, especially since it was still dark out. She could probably slip in un-noticed for the most part. She felt the first waves of excitement run down her spine. It'd been too long since she felt this kind of purpose.
