Compound: Sterling and Kellan spar

Sterling Chase  March 29, 2013

*since my Love, Tavia Chase is working with Jenna Darrow's journals, I decide to hit the gym in the new compound. I grab a water and my running shoes and prepare for a long run on the treadmill. I select one of the custom programs that looks particularly brutal, must be one of Dante Malebranche's. Settling in to a nice pace, I enjoy the quick burn of my leg muscles*

Kellan Archer

*Kissing Mira goodbye he head down to the training center for a good workout. He was still waiting for Lucan and Tegan to decide what to do with him, he was officially dead to the world and even thought he had saved the elders and a lot of important humans and vampires alike he still just couldn’t show up back from the dead. He opened the door to the training center and stopped in his tracks, Sterling was in there working out one of the last males he wanted to run into; the look on the other vampires face said it all, he was not thrilled* Hey Sterling! How have you been man?

*catching the flash of the door opening out of the corner of my eyes, I look over to see Kellan Archer standing awkwardly in the doorway. I see his lips moving but I can't hear him over the loud roaring in my head. I jump off the treadmill and pound over to the young Breed I thought I'd never see again. The male I trained at my hand, the young one that I lost. Stomping towards you, I pull my arm back and crack my fist against the side of your head. As you fall to the ground I growl* That's for dying and hurting Mouse.

Kellan Archer

*Feeling time move in slow motion I see him toward me his fist moving toward my head. The next thing I know I'm looking up at him from a seated position* What the fuck man? I know I fucked up, and I know I hurt her! It's not like I wasn't hurt too!

I'm not fucking interested in anything coming out of your mouth right now, boy. *staring down at the face I thought I'd never see again, I grab your arm and jerk you up into an awkward hug* I'm just so fucking glad you're alive.

Kellan Archer 

*Once minute I'm on the floor the next I'm in his arms, hugging him back not really knowing if I should say something or not* I'm sorry man, I never meant to hurt anyone!

Sterling Chase 

*setting you on your feet, I pat your shoulder, a little embarrassed by my overt display of emotion* Well, everything is as it should be now. You're here. You're breathing and you're with Mira Nicholas-Archer. *clearing my throat* Now, come on, you can spot me on the free weights.

Compound: Watching the Mates

Sterling Chase   March 25, 2013   *pacing the tech room along with every other male in the compound, I keep a steady eye on Gideon Breed as he monitors every traffic camera, bank camera and gas station camera in DC. Every eye in the room watches as the group of other-worldly beautiful females enters the restaurant. I see Aric tight with the group, his head flicking left and right, keeping a vigilant watch on his environment as our very life and the beat of our hearts has a "girls night out" at a restaurant in DC. Catching a slightly shaky breath, I try to reassure everyone* Aric is tight. Dante Malebranche trained him. Everything will be fine. *every male in the room snatches at their phone as texts fly through, assuring us that our Breedmates were enjoying their time away from the Compound.*

Lucan Thorne *Pacing the lab as he waits for Gideon to remotely take over the security system at Serendipity; fortunately the male is so skilled at his job he has total control of their cameras in minutes, Leaning in to look at Gabrielle and the other women through the lens of the camera he scans the room looking for any possible threats and watches as their dessert is delivered to the table. Deciding he has been patient long enough, he gives a nod to the warriors present, tells Gideon to keep his eyes on the women, and make sure back up is still nearby if Aric should need it, then makes for the door, Jogging to the garage and sliding behind the wheel of an SUV, heads for the restaurant.

{Final Death} The Aftermath

Lucan Thorne  March 13, 2013  *Pacing the length of his office, trying to abate the amber glowing in his eyes, filled with anger and utter disbelief at how a simple recon mission ended so unfavorably. How could the young warriors be so careless?
As the sound of multiple pairs of heavy boots echo down the hall, He seats himself behind his desk; giving a nod to Tegan who’s leaning against the wall impassively arms crossed in front of his chest. When Kellan, Mira and Nathan cross the threshold of his door way he mumbles a curse under his breath* Fuck, the Kid looks like hell. *Raising his voice as he meets three sets of eyes* what the hell happened out there?

Kellan Archer *Still feeling like crap as I step into Lucan’s office and see two pair of angry eyes. I want to look away but hold my gaze trying to find the words for what happened in the club*

Mira Nicholas-Archer *Despite being reassured by Kellan that there can be no bond between him and the female breed, I can't help but feel broken down inside. My eyes feel puffy from the tears that have been shed in the time between leaving the arena and entering the compound. I let go of Kellan's arm as we enter Lucan's office...I watch as Tegan's eyes scan over us and I know he is disappointed. I can see it in his eyes and hear it in his words. How many times has he taught us not to let our emotions get the better of us? When we stop at the desk, I am the first to speak up* It was a cage fighting ring, female breed like Tavia but trained in combat was in the center. They...they taunted us until someone volunteered to fight her.

Nathan Bishop *My gaze sweeps from Lucan to Tegan as I take note of their angry stances and my early training kicks in and I refuse to offer excuses. With little inflection in my voice, I repeat the events from the night including the intel on the female GenOne, Satora, that they had prior run ins with and her Breed handler, Diabolus, as Mira mentioned.* We have proof now who is behind Final Death.

Lucan Thorne *Listening to the events of the night, each of them presenting their own explanation , His anger boils over, *Banging his fist on the desk* You mean to tell me that sad excuse of a breed Diabolus and his Gen One lackey were able to goad three Order trained warriors into a fight? A fight that could have ended up with someone gravely injured, or even dead? *

Kellan Archer *I look Lucan in the eye as I state my case of the events* I had no other choice but to protect Mira, it was like they were expecting us to show up. *As Tegan moves near his words biting a little bit I open my mouth before I have time to think about what I’m doing* It’s not like I wanted to end the night beaten up and looking like an ass in front of you.

Mira Nicholas-Archer Don't get mad at Kellan, he was pushed into the cage because he was trying to save me from my stupidity. *I look up at Tegan and begin to feel as though I am shrinking in size.* She was vicious. *I mentally curse the tear that begins to fall from the corner of my eye* I can't stop it!! *I yell at them as I brush tears off my face* She licked his blood off her fingers!! *I exclaim before I even realize*

Nathan Bishop *Nodding, my mind went over the events and I know that our actions may not have be seen as the best, but it was what happened. I lay a hand on Mira's shoulder, silently giving her support.* Where do we go from here?

Lucan Thorne *Running his hand through his hair, he looks at Tegan as he makes his way back to his chair* First of all, go get yourselves properly taken care of, second, you are all off of rotation, I haven't even made my mind up as to how long, I'll speak to Tegan and he will let you know what we decide, *Looking at Mira's swollen eyes and tear streaked face, he decides to ease her suffering just a bit* Mira, you don't need to worry about that female being bonded to Kellan, We know from her encounter with another breed male that she is genetically incapable of bonding. *raising my voice again* Lastly get your asses out of my office. looking at you three is giving me a headache.
