Notes

Harry is a Aquarius, same as Calum.
Niall is a Virgo, same as Liam.
Louis is a Capricorn, same as Zayn.
Luke is a Cancer, same as Ashton.
Michael is a Scorpio, but his powers translate to that of the Taurus for this experiment.

Michael transforms into a mermaid once he looses all oxygen in his lungs. As he's never done this before, this is the first time. Luke and Ashton, the hunters, find him and Harry there. Michael goes unconscious as the dead Harry is fed to the pack. Michael awakes to hear Liam and Niall complaining about the killing, considering that they're the gatherers. Michael pretends to be asleep. Zayn and Louis don't care, nor eat, as they both have photosynthetic abilities. Suddenly Niall shouts something, and all eyes are on Michael. Michael pretends to just wake up, and then notices that he's ACTUALLY UNDERWATER (whoa.)

Micheal notices the tales, and shouts "Mermaids!" and the pack laughs because "Mermaids don't exist, you lunatic." "Yeah. We're mermen. Obviously." "And I mean, so are you, so you shouldn't really be that surprised." Michael looks down to see that WHOA HE HAS A TAIL and this is a problem. They ask him his Zodiac, which he answers, even though that's a really weird question. They're all surprised that he's not a Taurus and continue questioning him. His tail makes him an ideal Nightcrawler, which is a job position that the pack needs anyway. Nightcrawlers hunt other mermen, killing for both supremacy and another food source. Apparently, swimming requires a lot of food energy.

So Michael's sort of welcomed into the pack, but Liam, the Pack Leader, is suspicious. Ashton defends Michael, and Michael admits to wanting to go back home. Ashton speaks to him in private, and Michael finds himself telling the boy his life story. Ashton is amazed at how hard life must be for mortals (Wow, it's really that warm up there? Electricity? Mountains???) Ashton tells a little about himself, but is convinced that Michael is more interesting.

Zane and Louis get into a fight over something trivial and Zane makes the rash decision to quit the pack. This upsets many. Calum freaks out, but Niall is stunned into silence. Zane leaves.

Everyone's down in the dumps. Michael sets out on Nightcrawler duties for the first night. He does not kill.

More to be determined later.
