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.

Tetradore seemed very intent on finding this box, whatever it may be. It wasn't Alexis' business to know but she wanted to help her Alpha, however she could. She could practically smell the tension in the air the longer they worked, as if Tetradore was beginning to worry they might not find the box. She couldn't help but wonder what would happen if they didn't. Would something bad happen to him or the pack? Just how important was it? She was starting to worry herself when she saw the strange cloth in the crate, her breath catching in her throat. Not even an instant later, Tetradore was at her side and reaching in to take the box. As he opened it, Alexis peeked over his shoulder and saw the coins. Her brows wrinkled in confusion. Surely this couldn't be worth all the worry. It was just money.

She might have asked about it then but Tetradore suddenly looked around at attention and a new smell hit her nostrils. Smoke. Her innate terror of fire made her heart leap into her throat as she gasped and looked around for the source. She didn't know how her Alpha felt about fire but she didn't want to stick around to find out. She wanted out, now. Her body blessedly unfroze for her to run to the closest door, only to find it warm to the touch and the doorknob burnt her hand. A yelp fell from her lips as she jumped back and turned back to Tetradore, her whole body trembling now in utter terror. The dark haired man took a step back from her and the door and when she turned back, she saw the black smoke billowing into the room. Another yelp left her lips as she stumbled back from the door, her eyes already darting, looking for another escape.

She couldn't help but cough as she sharply inhaled, pulling smoke into her lungs and she knew this was bad. This was very bad. They were in an enclosed space with smoke all around them. Even as her eyes started to water with the smoke and her own fear, she could see Tetradore still clinging to that box. Finally a clear thought came to her and her hopes rose. She closed her eyes and pulled on her powers, drawing the bubble around herself and her Alpha to keep out the smoke. There, at least they could breathe easier now. It was a start. Reopening her eyes, she then turned back to the man, blinking in thought as he asked how she got in here originally. Her head snapped around as she thought about it, having lost her sense of direction in all the panic.

Then she gasped and pointed. "There!" She rushed toward the wall and the small hole in the wall there. Black smoke billowed in through it. Chewing on her bottom lip nervously, she turned back to Tetradore. "Should we try it? I don't know if you can fit..." The hole was quite small so she wasn't even sure if her Alpha could fit through there in his human form, let alone his Panther form.
