the Price of Life

This is a story about two sisters. Their names are Hi and Yoru. Day and Night. They are stuck in a wilderness, trying to find civilization, only to find they are trapped in an alternate dimension. There are small groups of others who have been drugged and brought here to that place, called Htrae, as punishment for crimes unknown, and all they have are their matching lockets, given to them by their kidnapped father. The last thing you expect when you clicked and started reading is that they're shape shifters.

Camp Council (sorry about lame pic)

     The next night, the Camp Council took place. It was a meeting where all the camp got together to share ideas and make decigions. Hi and I were there, of course, but were shunned because of the old man who was actually half right. What was apperantly a usual meeting took place, then Leader Burr shouted above everyone.
     "Everybody! We have an important announcement concerning our newest members. But before we address that, we must preform the Welcoming Ceremony!" He vaulted out for all to hear. About half of the people in the clearing screamed with excitement, while the others were yelling their disapproval. It looked like the Old Man (who we now knew as Tucker Smith, or Tuck) had done his self-appointed job well. Screams of "They're Nomeds!" and "Throw them out!" could be heard among all else, almost coordinated.
     Burr raised his hand in the air (no, not the Hail Hitler sign), silencing everyone almost immediately. "Hi and Yoru! today you stand before the only congregation of humans that we know of. All of us have done something to come here, what did you two do?" I moved closer to Hi, and muttered, "should we tell them, or show them?" She whispered back, "Or nothing? I don't want Tuck Suck to go off about how we're Nomeds or whatever again."
