Compound: Kellan asks Mira out

Kellan December 28, 2012   *Getting a texted from Lucan to go out and check the perimeter, I think this would be the perfect time to ask Mira out without it seeming too much like a date. Going in search of her I catch the scent of fresh lilies the air, breathing in deeply I head in the direction of her alluring. As I near the kitchen I take a moment to collect my thoughts*   — with Renata Breed and Niko Breed.

Top of Form

Mira Nicholas-Archer *My dinner finished, I rinse off the plate and place it gently in the sink. Hearing a noise come from behind me, I turn around quickly...my hand ready to grab the knife in my boot* Oh! Kellan! *taking a deep breath as I place my hand on my chest* You startled me a little. *filling in the space between us, I look up as his hazel eyes and smile* What's up?

Kellan Archer *Stopping a bit short when she says I startled her* Hey, Lucan is sending me to go check the perimeter! *Feeling a bit nervous as I think of the right way to ask* And I was wondering if you wanted to come with me? *Smiling at her as she looks at me with surprise*

Mira Nicholas-Archer Really?! *my voice is high and excited, I need to tone it down before he thinks I'm a freak* I... *play it cool Mira!* That would be fun! Let me grab my coat. *As I walk to grab my coat, my heart starts beating fast and my stomach makes flips. Why does this happen when I am near him!?* I'm ready!

Kellan Breed *Hearing the change in her voice I try not to laugh. *That would be very bad* Ok I’m ready too, and I’m glad you are going with me.* Heading to the garage to get the snowmobiles I try to think of something more to say to her when Niko and Renata come out of the training room; stopping short as they both give us a weird look. I look at Mira and then back to Niko trying like hell not to look guilty*

Mira Nicholas-Archer *OMG he's glad I'm going with him!* I'm glad you asked me!! *I have the sudden urge to take his hand, but the sight of Rennie and Niko just outside the garage causes me to pause. Kellan suddenly looks nervous, looking between me and my parents. I look up at him and smile. I touch his arm softly and look up into his eyes* They're harmless. *smiling sweetly, he turns and starts to methodically pull the snowmobile outside. Toward the startled eyes of my parents*

Niko Breed ~ lifting my brow~ Should I ask? ~following them both to garage, Ren following along, her hand in the small of my back as if trying to keep my attention~ Mira Its close to 2 am? ~looking back to Rennie for confirmation, I see Mira touch Kellan's arm and the obvious look she gives him~

Renata Breed ~my eyes wide as I see Mira and Kellan heading outside, I place my hand on the small of my mates back and nod when he looks back at me, I know that our lives don't keep to the clock of humans, but this is still late for her~ and it is still below freezing out ~a full body shakes hits me as I stand there watching Kellan keep pulling out the snow mobiles~ Mira you and i can go out in the morning if you still want...~seeing the tightening around Niko's mouth I try to distract him from seeing Mira stiffen and move closer to Kellan~

Kellan Archer *pulling one of the snowmobiles out and then going for the other one, I stop when Niko comes over to us. I stop when Renata tells Mira that they can go out in the morning, I look to Mira and she gives me a smile and a shake of her head letting me know that she is going to go with me. Thinking it’s better if I keep quiet for a minute to see how it plays out I just stand there looking at Mira*

Mira Nicholas-Archer *stepping away from Kellan, toward Rennie and Niko* Please let me go, please, please, please!! *letting my lower lip quiver and my eyes fill with tears, hoping that changes their mind* I really want to go, I promise we will come right back in and I won't stay out too late! Pleeeaase!

Niko Breed ~placing my hands on my hips waiting for one of them to really explain what's up~ since I can already see Mira is not going to change her mind about going, Kellan? Is this necessary? ~thinking for safety maybe they should take just one Snowmobile, his reflexes being Breed would keep them safer than Mira's in the dark. Changing teenagers minds was nearly hard as changing Lucan Thorne's, I chuckle to myself~ Well? ~Kellan didn't seem to want to answer, I start to step toward him and he finally responds~

Renata Breed ~bites my lip seeing Mira start to tear up, wanting to let her be a grownup I nearly smile when Niko steps forward, his body more relaxed meaning that he will let her go, but I wonder now what is on his mind, I know that for us, if we were to go, one snow mobile would be enough, I look between both Kellan and Niko, reaching out I pull Mira to the side~ better be safe than sorry...

Kellan Archer *Seeing the tears in Mira’s eyes has a strange affect on me but I don’t want things to get worse, so I hold back* I’m was just going out to check the perimeter on Lucan’s orders and I thought Mira could come along as part of her training. We won't be gone long and I won't let anything happen to her!

Niko Breed Lucan's orders huh? ~looks at his waist and boots, up and down~ No weapon? ~reaches behind me and hands him my 9~ You are now a two steps from Warrior, you need to be armed all the time.. Understand? I expect that cleaned and returned. She ~points to Mira~ rides behind you. IF you let anything hurt her, including you. You don't even need to come back? Got it?

Mira Nicholas-Archer *grabbing Rennie's arm* Please, Rennie...I promise nothing will happen to me. Kellan is a breed and he's big and strong, plus I've been training and I have my blade in my boot! Pleeease let me go!! *I look over at Kellan and hope he doesn't change his mind. God this is embarrassing*

Renata Breed ~looking down at where she grabs my arm, I try to hold back my smile, I am glad that she has chosen Kellan, but I wish that they could have waited a little longer, I blink my eyes and blank my face when I look back up at her~ I know you have been training and I want you to do exactly what Kellan says if there is any danger...do you understand? if he says run you run and don't look back, you have your phone? ~seeing her nod I nod back~ you are to only ride behind him and come back, no staying out to long or I will come looking for you...~crosses my arms over my chest~ or Kellan will not like me in the morning...

Kellan Archer *Taking the 9mm from Niko I check the safety and place it at my back, I look at him when he tells me that Mira will be riding with me instead of taking out two snowmobiles. Nodding at his instructions * Nothing will happen to her you have my word!

Mira Nicholas-Archer *Nodding to Rennie, I give her a quick hug before I make my way back over to Kellan and Niko.* I promise Rennie. *I turn toward Kellan and Niko, my heart beating faster at the thought of riding behind Kellan in the snowmobile, seriously surprised that Niko was actually allowing us to be that close to each other. I look up at Kellan and give him a omg-i-am-sorry-my-parents-are-so-weird look*

Niko Breed ~Lifting a brow, at how eager Mira really is. Kellan keep his cool demeanor in check. He will make a great Warrior, if he ever overcomes the past.~ Mouse you keep an eye out, assist Kellan in his patrol.. Don't distract him. I will give you guys 2 hours max, then I'll be the one to come looking.. ~gives them both a look~

Renata Breed ~moves back over and signals Mira behind Niko's back that I am giving them three, smiling I lay my hand on my mates arm I start to pull him away~ Remember what I said Mira ~grins~ come on baby, you being all macho has gotten to me something fierce ~giving the kids a wink then a glare to remind them to keep their hands to themselves I pull Niko back to the house~

Kellan Archer *Getting on the snowmobile and starting it I smile when Ren winks at us* Come on mouse we don’t have much time, Niko wants us back in two hours. *Giving Mira a wink*

Niko Breed *grinning down at my mate, I listen as Mira and Kellan prepare to leave, my breed hearing trying to pick up on anything, the worried father in me, hoping I don't. Kellan being older, had better be the voice of reason. I didn't doubt for one second, Mira would do as he instructed. But I know How my mate distracts me, just like she was doing right now. My Mate? Mira mate? WTF! I start to turn back and Ren's grip tells me, to let them go. I grind my teeth, Mira's smart she can handle him. It was me that was going to have hard time handling this.~

Mira Nicholas-Archer *smiling wide, I take his hand and let him help me climb onto the snow machine, into the seat behind him. His body is so close to me, I can feel his body heat and the smell of him causes my stomach to do spin.* Sorry my parents are so protective. * He shrugs and tells me it's no big deal and to hold on tight. Nervously, I wrap my arms around his waist, locking my hands together and pulling my body against his. It feels good to be this close to him and all the girly nervousness melts away. Thoughts of how much I like him rush through my head and I press my face against his back and try to commit this moment to my memory. He revs the engine, waves to my parents and drives off into the darkness.*
