Clay heard a noise in the bushes as he was training, someone or something was there, he went to investigate since everyone else was either asleep in their rooms or doing nighttime classes....

He went over to see what exactly was over there and saw a boy about his age run out of the bush and sit down to rest

The kid had black spiked hair and a scar on his eye, the scar looked about a week old, the kid also wore a bandanna over his face as if he was a ninja "who are you?!" Clay yelled out and went closer to the boy, When the kid noticed that he wasn't alone he quickly got up to run again, but fell to his knees and breathed heavily, clay put a hand on the boys back and realized it felt... sticky and wet kinda?

He looked at his hand to see blood....

Clay noticed that the boy had other cuts and bruised, and some of the clothing he wore was also ripped and dirty.....

Molly sighed as she looked at retro, they had escaped but left Tyler behind but knowing him, he most likely had escaped by then, retro looked at her with a look of guilt in his eyes, and maybe even a little fear "do you think he escaped?" He said as he started making some food from the stuff they stole "of course he did! He's strong and pretty clever when it comes to that kind of stuff! Even if he's weaponless!" Molly said, being young she was waaaay to optimistic about these things, but even she had some doubt as well.....

Clay helped the kid walk, he had learned that the boys name was Tyler, clay only shared a room with his friend Aaron, and clay knew that Aaron could keep it a secret for now....

He helped Tyler into a chair and looked around, Aaron was one of the kids who took night classes so he wouldn't be back for a while

"Ok I need to put bandages on your wounds so could you please take the hoodie off?" He asked Tyler, who nodded and took his hood off

Clay saw several scars and even some new wounds, he also noticed black stripes that didn't look like they were just tattoos, He stepped back a little, shocked "W-why do you have stripes?" He asked after putting bandages around his wounds, Tyler stayed silent and then sighed "It's a secret.... but if I show you.... you have to swear and promise to me that you won't tell ANYONE, understand?" Tyler said and glared at clay seriously "understood." Clay said

"Alright but don't freak out...." Tyler took a few steps back and there was a slight flash, then in his place stood a white tiger

Clay then immediately freaked out.....
