Anthony was stilll a long moment, looking up at him with a deep frown before standing, lowering his gaze to keep eye contact with Dennis. "Wait....what do you mean?" Anthony drew closer, his eyes narrowed. So close he had to lower his head to look down at Dennis. The boys words made no sense. Grabbing onto his upper arms he stared hard at him. "Why was your father not here with you? Why are you alone? Kindred never go through the transformation alone."

Dennis stepped back, his brow pulling together. And then his expression turned into a mixture of hurt and anger, "My father left us after Kate was born." He snapped, seething. "Is this some kind of joke? It's not funny!" His voice broke, his fear showing behind his anger.

Stunned, Anthony stumbled backwards, shaking his head. "No way...No fucking way." This was impossible. It couldn't happen. It just couldn't. In all of his life Anthony had never head of such. "You're joking, right? Please tell me you're joking." But even as he said it, he knew Dennis was telling the truth. He could smell it. Could hear it in the boys voice, in his heart beat.
"Oh god....How is this possible? It's against everything the Kindred stand for."

Dennis stared at him like he'd grown a second head, "What are you talking about? What the heck is a Kindred?" He stepped back, wondering if he should run to his house. Clearly there was something wrong going on, something he didn't understand but Anthony seemed sure about. Maybe Anthony was having a psychotic break.

"Oh my god I can't handle this!!" Screaming out Anthony twisted away, running his hands, yet again, through his hair. What the fuck was he supposed to do now?! He had never had to deal with something like this. He had no fucking idea how to deal with it! "No, no, no. I can't believe this...dammit! What...how...." Swinging back around to Dennis he stared at him a moment, shaking his head and sputtering incoherantly before releasing an animal like growl of frustration. And then it hit him. There was only one thing he could do to make him understand. Licking his lips Anthony looked up at Dennis and called forth his light, feeling it burst from him in an explosion of warmth, washing over him as he changed into his white wolf form in front of Dennis.

Dennis stared at the wolf, blinking a couple times before he felt his jaw loosen and pop open. He stumbled back, falling back on his rump. "No fucking way!" He shouted, staring at Anthony - the wolf! A fucking wolf! "That's not normal. What the hell!" He started to ramble incoherently, eyes wide. For a minute he sat there, silent, before he scrambled to his feet and retreated to a tree, ready to hoist himself up in case the wolf - Anthony! - attacked him. It wasn't normal for a teenager to turn into a damn animal! Dennis swallowed hard, looking slightly panicked. But what was normal to him anymore? Dennis could talk to animals, and it just so happened that now he could turn into them. And so could Anthony. Dennis slid down the bark, ignoring the bark that bit into his flesh as he did so. He landed on his butt, staring at the large, white wolf. Dennis' brows pulled together in confusion, "Anthony?" He said meekly, his expression unbelieving even though he'd just watched the guy turn into the wolf before him.

This shouldn't have been so confusing for you. Anthony said, using the mind link that changed Kindred used for communication to others. Moving forward slowly he stopped a few feet before Dennis. It shouldn't have been this way at all. I'm not sure how it happened, but it did, and I guess I'm the only one who can help you right now. Anthony released a small growl of frustration, his ears standing on the back of his head. I hope you know how fucking annoying that is. I was done with the Kindred. And now this....... Lowering himself to his haunches Anthony shook his large white head. Lookit. I don't particularly feel like doing this out here. Can we go in your house or something? This is going to take a while.....

Dennis wanted to scream, now he could hear Anthony in his head? He forced his panic down and put on a stony face. He nodded, standing up. He was less worried about being seen in his boxers by anyone - much less Anthony - as he was more worried about them waking up his mom or sister. "You have to change back. And be quiet." He hissed the last word, as if Anthony couldn't ever shut up or something. He led the way to his house, skirting the edge and moving to the front porch.

Releasing his light again Anthony transformed back into his human form, shaking his self slightly to rid the tingling that the change always left behind. Moving behind Dennis he followed him towards his house, looking up at the sky a moment and sighing. "Can't believe this is happening..." He muttered.

"Woe is you." Dennis muttered disapprovingly, glancing over his shoulder at Anthony before pushing the door open. He was bombarded instantly. "Where did you go!" Rae growled, jumping off the couch and staring at him, her hackles risen. That was until she spotted Anthony behind Dennis, and she growled louder. She was a fiercely protective dog - and even though she was smarter than most normal dogs, it was clear that she still thought Anthony was an intruder. "Be quiet, Rae." Dennis scolded, grabbing her by the collar and pushing her back. Rae backed up, keeping her eyes on Anthony for a minute before disappearing up the stairs. Probably to Kate's room. Dennis glanced at Anthony, "Come on." He moved up the stairs silently, slipping into his room and only closing it once they were both inside. He went to his wardrobe, grabbing a pair of sweat pants and tugging them on before sitting down on his bed. "Alright, let's talk." He said, looking up at Anthony.

"Whoa..." Stepping backwards Anthony stared down at the snarling down below him, aware of his words. Kindred had always been able to hear some animals words, those that they had special bonds with, especially. For Anthony, he had always been able to hear the thoughts and words of any animal in the canine family. Had usually had a special bond with them as well, dogs almost always liking him. Guess that wasn't always true, though. Because this 'Rae' sure as hell seemed to have a grudge against him. Arching his brow he watched as the dog trotted off after Dennis had angirly dismissed her. "Think your dog doesn't like me." He said vaguely before folloowing Dennis up the stairs and into his room. He looked at Dennis, glancing sideways with a sigh as the boy pulled on some sweats and looked for somewhere to sit in the room. Spotting a chair he pulled it closer to the bed and sat in it, leaning forward and resting his elbows on his knees and clasping his hands together before clearing his throat, opening his mouth. For a moment he sat there, silent, stupified. "Ahh, hell. I've never really had to do this before...I don't exactly know where to start."

Dennis blinked, and for the first time that night his face fell into an amused smile, his eyes glittering with the emotion. "Seriously?" He chuckled for like a good second before he became serious again. "Okay, how about you start by telling me what exactly a Kindred is."

Anthony nodded, clearing his throat. "Right. So, like me you are Kindred." Anthony stumbled for words a moemnt before shrugging. "In simplest terms, all I can say is that the Kindred have a connection with nature. We are human...yet not. All of us are the same, yet different. We can transfer into a certain species of animal. Me for instance, I am a Canine Kindred, meaning I can change into any animal in the canine family. That lab that followed you home earlier? That was me as well."

Dennis' brow furrowed, "So I can turn into cats?" He asked, thinking about all of the animals that were felines - lions, tigers, lynx. That was fine by him. It wasn't too much weird than him being able to talk to Rae, so he wasn't too surprised. Sure, he was completely shocked at first - no one just calmly accepts that they can turn into a jaguar. He paused, raising a brow suspiciously, "Why...um....why did you follow me home?"

"Uhh......that...well...Remember when I told you that you smelled earlier in class? You really did...really do, actually. When Kindred first go through the transformation, they emit a...very powerful and distinctive scent to alert other Kindred of the coming change. I scented you early this morning, and followed it to the bathroom this moring. "Anthony glared. "Where you fucking hit me in the face with a door, might I add. Anyways...that's why I was hounding you all day." Sitting back Anthony shook his head, stretching his legs out in front of him. "I didn't really believe it until I had actually seen you change. Honestly I'm still having trouble with it." His lip twisted up at the side slightly. "You're just so...unKindred."
