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.

There was a time when Alexis would have run for her life at the sight of the attacks, ran to the Ark to get someone else or just hid in her room, hoping the attackers wouldn't come for her next. That was when she was nothing more than a scared Were looking to survive, nothing more. Since then, Alexis had taken on her abusive father and his whole pack. If she hadn't fought, she would have died, which is exactly what her father wanted. He couldn't stand the idea that she'd run away and found happiness somewhere else. He wouldn't let it stand. She'd ended up killing a few of his pack members and that had been enough to send the rest running. They were just foxes, after all, not battle worn wolves or anything that lived for the fight. They were just doing what they were told and when they saw friends and family getting killed, it was enough to make them turn tail.
These wolves made it seem personal though, whatever they had against Mira. Alexis didn't know what it was but it didn't matter. She wouldn't let her pack mate die out here alone. So she stayed and fought with everything she had. When the rest of the wolves finally retreated, she could see the lava on Mira's form cooling, turning back to stone. It was fascinating to watch. Fur started to appear where only rock and lava had been before. She turned her gaze back to Mira's face as she spoke though, saying the wolves were part of her past and they weren't Alexis' burden. She smiled softly and shook her head. "Nothing is ever just your own in a pack. Your burdens are now my burdens. Get used to it." She said with a wry smirk, her eyes twinkling with humor.
As Mira took a step closer, Alexis could see the worry in her eyes as she said that she was bleeding. Alexis shrugged and glanced down at her arm where the blood was still trickling in a small path down her hand and dripping to the ground. "It'll heal. In fact..." She closed her eyes and concentrated. The skin started healing back together, her skin looking flawless once again. She wiped the blood from her arm. "See? Good as new." She smiled, not wanting Mira to worry about her. "Do you have any injuries? I can heal you, too." She smiled softly, wanting to help her pack mate as much as she could. When they talked of favors, Mira teased that Alexis knew where she lived and she laughed and nodded. "This is true."
Alexis was ready to take her leave then, sure that Mira wanted some time to herself to compose herself and face whatever demons she might have. Mira said that she would do the same soon and thanked her again. "No problem." Then Mira offered for her to come to the bar in the Ark sometime. "I'll have to take you up on that. I like a good cocktail." She said with a smirk. She nodded when Mira said that she would hang back a little. Turning on her heel, she headed back to the Ark, leaving Mira to do whatever she needed to do.
