Halloween Dream

Mira Nicholas-Archer  *Ripping open a mini-pack of Halloween candy, I pull a gummy-licious piece of fruity candy out of the wrapping and pop it into my mouth. Kellan enters our quarters, looks at the small pile of candy wrappings next to me and starts shaking his head.* What? I can’t help it, I’m addicted! *As I open another package, I hear his faint laughter as he enters the shower. Turning my head to grab another piece, I spot the orange pumpkin bucket, now used for decoration, that Rennie gave me so many years ago. It was never big enough to fit all of the candy I would receive going door-to-door in the compound, and the memory of Nathan and Kellan following me around with pillow cases makes me laugh out loud. Sobering up, I lay back on the chaise lounge and let the memories of Halloween past begin to churn in my head...*

Mira Nicholas-Archer ~dream~ *Waiting in the living room with all the little kids* Okay guys, Kellan and Nathan will be here any minute and we can go trick-or-treating!! *at once, all of the kids start cheering* Yay!!! Aren't you guys excited! *As they all dance around me, I notice both Kellan and Nathan coming into the room WITHOUT COSTUMES!* I knew you guys would chicken out. *digging into my pocket* Don't worry though, I brought you one! *handing them both Harry Potter glasses and wands.* And you better but them on you buttheads!

Kellan Archer *dragging my feet as Nathan and I walk down to meet Mira and the brats, shaking my head I mumble under breath* Why do we have to do this again? *with a shrug Nathan looks over at me* <I have no idea, but you know Mouse if we don't do it she will just go crying to Niko and Renata and you know what will happen then> *nodding as we enter the living room and see the little brats jumping up and down yelling about going trick or treating*

Dare Thorne *jumping up and down with excitement.* Mira, are we ready to go yet? I wanna get some treats. If they don't give me any, can we pull a trick? I wanna go to Mommy and Daddy's room first! *dragging the littler ones along* Aric and Carys, hurry up! *running down the hall to Mommy and Daddy's room* Trick or Treat!!!

Gabrielle M. Thorne *Hearing the taps of little hands I hurry over to the door and open it* Oh my, look at all the little trick or treaters...Placing tricks in all their bags I laugh as they go to the next door..

Micah Breed *Jogging along next to Dare* Hey, look what I got! *pulling out the long tube Auntie Gabrielle gave him* The picture says you put your fingers in it. *Putting his finger in one end, holding the other towards Dare* Do it. *Laughing as Dare does the same, then asks "Now what?"* I don't know. *trying to pull his finger back out* Wait, stop pulling, my finger is stuck.... MIRAAAAA

Alexandra Maguire *Hearing the sound of soft tapping at the door, she gets up to open it* Well, well look at what we have here *she laughs* Oh, my you all look so scary *Taking several hand fulls of candy, she drops it into their Halloween bags* There you go, have fun Trick or treat

Connor MacConn *Shaking my bag to Mira with excitement.* LOOK MIRA! We all are getting lots of cool stuff! Let's go to Da and Mums room now! *Running ahead we all bang on their door at once hearing footsteps mum opens the door and smiles. <Wow! look at all you guys dressed up *Placing goodies in everyone's bags I smile.* Have fun little ones!> Cool! Hurrying down the hall to the next room.*

Carys Chase *Following the bigger kids down the hall after getting some treats from other mommy's. I look into my bag and everything I don't like I put into Aric Chases.
We get to our parents door and me and Aric knock. I squeal when daddy answers and growls and gives us all toys.* Thank you daddy...* Runs to catch up with the others*

Jenna Darrow *hearing all the voices and several little knocks at the door at once, I smile, opening to see all the kids standing there* Well don't you all look great! *laughing, I give them each handfuls of candy and stand with Brock as we watch them run down the hall*

Mira Nicholas-Archer *Feeling just as excited as the other kids about all the treats and tricks we have received. I empty another bucket of candy into the pillow case that Kellan is carrying for me* Thanks Kellan! You make a good guarder of the candy! *grinning at both Kellan and Nathan, I turn back to the kids, two of which are freaking out about their fingers being stuck in a Chinese finger trap* It's okay guys, all you have to do is relax and push your fingers together slowly. *Making sure they figure it out before I turn my attention elsewhere* Lets go to Aunt Savannah and Uncle Giddy next!

Kellan Archer *standing off to the side watching as Mira places more candy in the pillow case, I nod as she smiles at me, moving down the hall to the next door I lean on the wall with Nathan as the kids knock on Gideon and Savannah's door. Hearing footsteps we wait as the door opens and Savy calls Gideon to the door to see the kids* [Babe bring the candy and toys for the kids] *they hand out the stuff and we make our way down to Dante and Tess' door where Rafe starts banging and yelling* (Trick or treat mommy) God when will this be over...

Dare Thorne "frowning and trying hard to be a big boy and not cry, I hold Micah still and try to push our fingers together. A tear runs down my cheek, and then - POP! Our fingers are loose.* Here, Micah. You keep this nasty thing! C'mon, let's go to Auntie Dylan's and Uncle Rio's! *Knocking on the door, and calling out* Trick or Treat, smell my feet, give us something good to eat!!! Auntie Dylan always has the bestest stuff!

 

Micah Breed *sniffing and wiping his nose and eyes on his Power Ranger suit, he shakes the finger trap of his hand and runs to join the rest of the gang. After getting super cool race cars from AuntieDylan and Uncle Rio, he turns excitedly to the rest of the group* Hurry guys, we can go to Mom and Papa T next *racing Dare and Aric down the hall and slamming into the door, he hops from foot to foot with excitement to see his parents. When the door opens, everyone yells "Trick or treat aunt Elise and Uncle Tegan" and moves to the door to collect their treats. Once his mom drops his treat in his bag, she quickly kisses his cheek and he laughs as the group moves on to the next door for treats*

Carys Chase Here, Micah. *I hand him one of the toy cars I got in my bag before we take off for Uncle Hunter GenOne and Auntie Corinne Bishop's door. The boys beat me there and as soon as the door opens I push through them to get a treat. Beaming when Auntie Corrine says we are all so cute.*

Mira Nicholas-Archer One more door guys! It's going to be the best door yet, my mom has some really awesome stuff to give out to everyone! *I start giggling as they all start jumping up and down in place* How about we all race to their door? *I elbow Kellan in the chest when he starts groaning* Ready? Set? GO!! *With the exception of Kellan and Nathan, we all run as fast as we can to Rennie and Niko's room...where they both meet us with arm fulls of toy guns and knives.* See, I told you those were awesome!!!

Kellan Archer *heading back to our room wondering why Mira had not met me at the bon fire, I feel a spike in my veins as I get closer to our room. Knowing she is ok but very excited I move a bit faster wanted to know what is up with her, opening the door I look in to see her asleep on the couch with a smile on her face. Moving over to her I bend down and kiss her gently until her eyes start to flutter* Babe are you ok?

Mira Nicholas-Archer *Startled, I gasp* Oh! I... *looking around* I was just having the strangest dream! I was 13 and all of us were trick-or-treating in the compound as kids! *laughing a little at the memory* It was just like the past...you forgot your costume and I gave you a Harry Potter wand and glasses to carry! *I laugh, as he carries me to the bed and climbs in beside me* You were so mad. *snuggling up against him* All the kids were so cute, I miss them being so young... *drifting off to sleep*

Halloween 2013: Hunter, Cori, Gid, and Savy visit the Maze

Hunter GenOne   *After making plans for a night out with  Gideon  and  Savannah,  Corinne  and I made our way up to the Range Rover to meet Gid and Savy.* I'm glad we are going tonight. It's nice to get out of the compound for a while to do something other than patrol. Could be kind of fun. 

Top of Form

Corinne Bishop *Climbing into the back seat she straps herself in. Excited to have a night out with her mate and family. Patting the space beside her* Savannah sit back here with me.

Gideon Breed *Lifting Savannah by the waist and hauling her up into the Rover, I smile at Corinne before jumping in shotgun next to Hunter. Hitting the navigation system up, I check the directions which I have already downloaded. Buckling my seat belt, only because it makes my mate feel better, I hit the garage remote from my cell and give Hunter the all clear to back it out*

Savannah Dupree *slipping on her Uggs as she hears her mate calling her name, she grabs her phone and puts it in the back pocket of her jeans. Smiling as she came out of the bedroom she took her mates hand getting up on her toes to kiss his cheek* This is going to be fun! *they get to garage just as Corinne gets into the rover* Hey guys, hope you’re ready for a good time! *giving Gideon a kiss as he lifts her into the rover next to Cory as Gideon closes the door they start to chat about the evening to come*

Hunter GenOne *Listening to the chatty cathy, I followed the directions to the farm. As we got closer we saw signs advertizing hayrides, a corn maze and apple cider.* I think we are here guys. *Parking the Rover, I got out and took Corinne's hand, making our way to the entrance.*

Corinne Bishop *Grasping Hunters hands tightly as they walk up to the admission stand. Hunter pays the admission fee. Handing out the maps at the entrance of the corn maze he tilts his head the look in his eyes communicating his unspoken question. Leaning into her mate she smile* It will be fun, think of this as a mission to root out rogues.

Gideon Breed *Chuckling as Corrine reassures Hunter, I clasp him on the shoulder* yeah big guy, let's play rogue seek and find. *Taking Savannah's hand after we've had our neon pink wrist bands applied by a rather awe struck teen, we cross under the corn stalk archway and enter the main yard. Double checking the weapons under my coat as I watch Hunter subtly do the same. We make our way into the Halloween village*

Savannah Dupree *holding on to her mate as the walk she looks up at the sky thinking that the night is very beautiful she smiles as they walk under the archway* Remember babe don't you dare scare me in there...

Hunter GenOne *Following Gideon and Savannah to the beginning of the maze, I nod to him and Corinne and I go in one direction and they in another. Scanning the area, he smiled at her with the map.* Ok How many possible exits? *Hearing a giggle, two teenagers run past us, going deeper into the stalks.*

Corinne Bishop *Tugging Hunter sleeves before he barrels though the wall of corn stalk. She suddenly squeals in fright as a ghoul jumps out in front of them. Pulling her into a protective embrace. Growling loudly, the costumed humans eyes widen in fright as he turn tails and runs into the night*

Gideon Breed *I let Savannah lead us through the maze, I haven't told her that I viewed the entire thing via satellite and have memorized all the pathways that lead to an exit. She holds tight to my hand as I keep watch around us. I hear a startled sound, followed by a low growl, and laugh knowing Hunter has run into his first maze henchman. I step a little closer to Savannah, knowing someone could jump out at us at any time*

Savannah Dupree *hearing the screams from other people in the maze has me very nervous, holding on to Gideon's hand I dig my nails into his skin. I walk slowly just waiting for something to happen when someone else screams making me jump turning in that direction. Still looking back but not seeing anything I keep walking and as I turn I let out a scream as I lay eyes on the first of the mazes little tricks*

Hunter GenOne *Moving through the maze, I held Corinne close.* Lets go this way. *Hearing a scream and a chainsaw, I shook my head* Damn kids. *A vampire jumped out in front of us and put his hands in the air* ~I want to suck your blood bla bla bla~ We don't say bla bla bla. Get better fangs. *Moving past him, I laughed at the look in his face.*

Corinne Bishop *Laughing softly as she clings closely to her mate. They wind their way through the maze.. Coming up on another dead end she looks at her map. Twisting her mouth in thought she looks up at Hunter and ask him to lift her up on his shoulders. Looking over the corn rows she sees they are nearing the exit* OK guys we need to back track to the last opening and make a sharp turn right. Feeling Hunter's grip tighten around her thighs he bulldozes through the corn.* Hunter! *Looking back she see Savannah and Gideon following closely behind.*

Gideon Breed *Following behind Hunter and Corinne my arms holding Savannah as she clings to my back. Savannah laughs as she and Corinne compare notes on their time in the maze as we make our way to the hay ride. Showing our bracelets to the kid at the entrance we gather in line behind about ten other people waiting for the next tractor to arrive*

Savannah Dupree *standing next to Corinne talking as we wait for the next tractor to arrive we chat about the corn maze and how much fun we were having*

Hunter GenOne *Seeing the John Deere come around the corner, it stopped to let the passengers off before driving to where we were waiting. Walking up to the steps, the kid stops us.* ~We only have room for two more. You can wait or split up.~ Neither. We can sit. The ladies will sit on our laps.* Not waiting for his response. I get on the wagon with Corinne, Gid and Savy right behind. Sitting down, I pull Corinne on my lap as Gideon does the same with Savannah. With a lurch, the tractor moves forward.*

Corinne Bishop *Resting her head against his shoulder she snuggles into his warmth. The air had gotten cooler as the night waned. The light of the Apple House was coming into view* Babe do you think we could get some apples and pumpkins? * Hunter kissed her and told her she could have whatever she wanted. Kissing him, she looks over at Savannah* Savvy do you think you could make one of your wonderful Dutch Apple pies?

Gideon Breed *Leaning back against the wooden rails of the hay filled trailer, I watch as a boy dressed in a ninja costume stares at Hunter and I , I smile wide at him and wink, nodding my head towards Hunter* Don't worry kid, the big guy is a super hero, think of him as the Incredible Hulk. I laugh as Savannah smacks my leg and tells me to leave the poor kid alone, I see the little guy smile, then duck in against his Mom. Looking at Corinne I tug in Savannah's hair and tease her, saying she does make the best apple pie I've ever smelled*

Savannah Dupree Sure, anything for you sis! *hitting Gideon's leg after he teases the little boy I lean back into his worm body until we come to a stop in front of the apple house. Getting out we walk in seeing all the fresh produce, walking over I look at a few apples and pumpkins picking a dozen apples and two pumpkins* I will even make some pumpkin pies! *laughing as Corinne closes her eyes at the mention of my pumpkin pie. Over in the corner I see jugs of apple cider and pick up about for to make sure there is enough for everyone*

Hunter GenOne *Grabbing two bushels of apples, I saw Corinne looking over the pumpkins* Pick out a couple babe. We can carve them if you want. *Picking up the box of pumpkins, we made our way to the check out. Feeling a tug on my pants I turn to see the little boy from the hayride.* ~Mister? Are you really a super hero?~ *Smiling, I crouched down to his level.* Yeah I guess you would say that. ~Cool Hulk is my favorite~ *Before I could answer, he ran off to find his mom. After paying for the items, we made our way to the car. Loading them into the back of the Rover, We climbed in and made our way home. *

Status: Mathias needs to Feed

Mathias Rowan  *This time of year had his nerves on edge. Report after report poured in mentioning raves and parties indicating Breeds violating the new rules. Most of them he could filter out with an internet search but there were always a few that made his blood boil. He jumped up from his desk, agitated and ready to tear into his assistant. He ran his hand through his hair.* Fuck, I need out of here.

Top of Form

*He was nothing but a blur as he made his way out of the office and searched for a host. Damn, he was thirsty. His fangs were elongated already and he knew his eyes glowed amber lighting the area. He cut through the park and found what he needed. A lone female.*

*He gave no warning as he made his way behind her, her gasp as his fangs sunk in the only indication of his attack. Then the eroticism of the feeding ritual took over and she moaned in his arms while he drank his fill. He savored the clean taste of her blood in his throat.*

*He took his time licking the wound closed, the female languid and pliant. He looked down and came close to sweeping her up and returning to his apartment. Shaking his head, he placed his palm on her forehead and wiped her memories, disappearing as quickly as he had arrived.*

BM Outing: Carys, Jordana and Nathan

Nathan Bishop   -Sitting in the SUV, I feel apprehensive. I continue to look towards the door waiting for Carys and Jordana to exit. Inserting the key, the engine roars to life. At that moment, the females walk through the door, arm in arm, laughing and giggling. I let out a breath, readying myself. They rush over to the SUV and climb in.. -

Top of Form

Jordana Gates *getting off the plane and seeing Carys, I smile, delighted that we are getting to spend some time together. Hugging her, she directs me to where our ride awaits.*

Carys Chase *Linking arms with Jordana, I steer her and her overnight bag to the awaiting SUV.* You can ride up front if you want. *Winking I open the door for her and move to get in the backseat.*

Nathan Bishop -I stare straight ahead, attempting not to even look her way. But that changes when her delectable scent hits me. I inhale deeply and my body hardens. FUCK. What the hell. I have more control over my body than this. I look at her...Jordana..then back at Carys. They are buckled, so I put the SUV in gear- Where do you two wish to go first?

Jordana Gates *getting into the front seat, I buckle up, then glance at the driver. It's him - Nathan! Feeling the warmth creep up through my cheeks, I turn around and give Carys a dirty look. Oh holy mother - she did this on purpose!*

Carys Chase *Sitting back, smug grin on my face I pretend to not notice the dirty look I get from Jordana.* The mall, Nathan. We are in need of retail therapy and, since we have you with us, you can help carry our bags.

Nathan Bishop -Wondering what the hell retail therapy is supposed to mean, I take the exit that will take us to the mall. Traffic is heavy, which pisses me off. I need to be out of this vehicle soon. Her scent has wrapped around my body...it's intoxicating. Soon, my eyes and glyphs will betray my condition and I will never hear the end of it from Carys-

Jordana Gates *staring straight ahead as we speed down the exit and towards the mall. My mind is in a whirl. Nathan acts definitely irritated. Obviously, he isn't glad to see me. Part of me feels let down. He's dominated so many of my dreams - dammit. Ok - if he's going to act like that, my goal will be to torture him. Smiling to myself, I make my plan.* Hey Carys - I want to get a new purse, and I really need a trip to Victoria's Secret. Is there one in this mall?

Carys Chase Sure is, it's on the first floor close to the entrance I think. *I keep my tone casual knowing Nathan is going to be hella pissed at having to go to an lingerie store with us.*

Nathan Bishop -My brows furrow...Victoria Secret...isn't that the..? No, it can't be. Holy hell, these females are going to be the death of me. Give me a Rogue anyday over this torture...Arriving at the mall, I find a parking spot and slide into it. Shutting off the engine, I get out of the SUV and scan our environment, noting everyone in the lot. I walk around to the females as they exit the vehicle, grabbing their huge bags and laughing more...I will never understand females- I will follow the two of you.

Jordana Gates *linking my arm with my best friend, we enter the mall, and head straight for Victoria's Secret. I sneak a glance behind us at Nathan, secretly pleased with the scowl on his face. Going through the racks of lacy, skimpy things, I hold up a little slip of lace.* Hey Carys - what do you think of this one? Would it look good on me?

Carys Chase *I take the slip of lace from her and smile wide, talking so Nathan can hear me.* I think this will look great on you. With your ass, anything looks good. *I hand it back to her and walk away to look at some pj's.*

Nathan Bishop -I cross my arms over my chest and gaze up at the ceiling, pointedly ignoring all of the lace garments hanging around me. I'm certainly not going to imagine those same pieces of lace covering Jordana's ass....NO. I will not think of that. I try to blank out my mind but the damn thing has other ideas. I can still hear them so I know they are fine and still close enough that I can get to them quickly. I scan the store, noticing anyone who might be watching them a bit too closely. A few females looking my way and smiling. Great. Just Great....-

Jordana Gates *smiling at my bestie's comment, I hold the scrap of lace up to my body.* Yeah, I think I'll have to buy this for sure. *joining her over at the pj section, I go through the racks aimlessly, sneaking sideways glances at Nathan to see if there's any reaction. Ok - I need to try a little harder. Finding a gorgeous baby blue lace baby doll nightie, I decide that I need that also.* Um, Nathan? Could you hold these for me while I keep shopping?

Carys Chase *Stifling a laugh, I turn my head and pretend to be looking at a pink nightie. When I've regained my composure I walk by Nathan and smile sweetly at him as he holds the baby doll nighty Jordana gave him* Lighten up cuz, you look like you have a stick up your ass.

Nathan Bishop -Swallowing fast, I hold the garment, trying not to look at it, trying not to imagine it on her....oh hell.. What was I thinking? I look down at it and suddenly I see her in my mind, parading around in front of me, wearing nothing but this slip of blue material. A low growl escapes as Carys walks by me. I close my eyes, knowing their color is changing..-

Jordana Gates *walking over to Nathan and smiling sweetly.* I think I'm ready to check out now. I'll take those. *Reaching for my items, my hand brushes against his. I feel the electric shock go through me as my skin touches his. Closing my eyes, I see the mental picture of our last encounter - my lips on his. Breathing deeply* Ok girlfriend, are you ready to check out?

Carys Chase Yeah, I'm right behind you. *I grab a few pairs of boy shorts and some sleep pants and head to the cashier. After both of us have paid, we head out onto the mall again.* Shoes and purses next, Jordana?

Nathan Bishop -I follow closely behind them, the feel of Jordana's skin upon mine still effecting me. I watch her from behind, her body so perfect. The way she moves, so elegant and feminine. They turn to go into another store and I move up beside her quickly, grabbing the door before she reaches for it. I hold it open, making eye contact with her. She smiles...breathtaking. I smile back at her as she brushes up against me., moving through the door..-

Jordana Gates *as Nathan holds the door for me and smiles, I return his smile, secretly pleased that he seems to have relaxed a little. Dammit, now I'll never be able to get this man out of my mind.* Oh, and Nathan, thank you for the birthday text you sent. I really appreciated it. Carys, ready to buy out the shoe store?

Carys Chase *Grinning I follow Jordana into the store, I give Nathan a friendly jab to the gut before looking for the 'oh so perfect shoes' and bags. I find several pairs and some boots along with three handbags. I take mine to the cashier and watch Nathan and Jordana avoid each other even though I can feel how much they are attracted to one another.*

Nathan Bishop -Done with shopping, we head back to the SUV. I look around at all of the bags and wonder if they will all fit, but we manage. We settle in and I turn the SUV in the direction of the compound. Jordana and Carys are uncharacteristically quiet. I turn myhead and look at Jordana. For the first time, I let myself dream...of a life with her. I know I'm not in her league, so I would have no chance. But I find myself so drawn to her. For months, I have thought of her so often.. I know now that I will never get enough of her..-

Jordana Gates *as we head to the compound, I fall into an uneasy silence. I think of how wonderful it would be to live at the compound. With my best friend right there..... and Nathan. No other man has made me feel this way. I am irresistibly drawn to him. I am the moth and he is my flame.*

Carys Chase *The ride home is quiet, the tension between the two of them is so thick you could cut it with a knife. Sighing, wishing I could just push them together and be done with it so we could all relax but, no. Jordana's dad has other plans..
We arrive at the compound and Nathan helps us with our bags, carrying most of them inside for us. I bid him good night and thank him for his time and take my bags from him. A I walk away, I hear them talking quietly for a moment before Jordana catches up to me.* Everything okay? "Yeah, perfect" *She says and we disappear into my room to look at our purchases and talk about two males who dominate our dreams.*
