TB: Elise Hunting Minions

TBT *She waited until she knew the sun was up and placed the ear buds in her ears drowning out the loud music and tv blaring in her apartment. Picking out a new titanium blade, she strapped it into a holster on her thigh and slid another one in her sleeve. Cam's iPod got turned on high, the volume making her wince slightly as she headed out. Her mission was too important to allow her gift to stop her.*

*Her plan was to head to the police station to find her next target. She walked quickly, concentrating on the music blaring in her head trying her best to ignore the voices that filtered through. That was until she heard the word she dreaded yet needed to hear. Master. Slowing down, she looked around her, quickly finding the vacant stare of a minion. He was headed the same way she was and she fell into step behind him, listening.*

*All he seemed concerned about were paintings that his master had acquired and getting more. All she cared about was getting him out of the crowd. Luck was on her side when he turned into an alley. Taking the unexpected opportunity, she deliberately stumbled against him. He caught her, but she used his surprise and the momentum of the fall to drive her blade into his chest.*

 *The vile thoughts now erupting from him almost made her falter but she didn't dare lose track of her mission. Lifting her fist up, she sent the blade sinking into his chest again. He pushed her away as he grabbed his blood soaked shirt in disbelief. Even in his last moments of life he was more worried about his master and not fulfilling his plan than the fact he was a dead man walking.*

*She could tell he was weakening and stepped forward, stabbing him a third time. No sound escaped him, just the vacant stare of a minion. In only minutes, there would be one less in the world and at least for today, she had exacted revenge for Camden.*

*Now that her goal was accomplished, she returned the volume to maximum level and took a moment to find the cell phone all minions had. She worked quickly to disable it and head back to her apartment where she could pass out safely.*

TB: The F Word


‪#‎TBT‬
* The kitchen was empty but I knew what I wanted and where it was. I pulled open several drawers and climbed them like stairs. The cabinet opened easily and I found what I wanted. Setting the box on the edge of the counter, I climbed down and pushed the drawers back in. Now, to find someone big to open the box. I headed towards uncle Gideon's lab but it was empty. Tucking the box under my arm I head down the hall and seeKade head into the gym. I know he could open the box and I run down the hall and push my way through the door into the training room where Kade is talking to Brock and Niko.*

Brock Breed *Mopping my face with a towel, talking to Kade and Niko, I turn when the door opens again. Expecting to see one of my fellow warriors, I am momentarily stunned into silence when a tiny little china doll walks in.* Well hey there sweetie - looking for your Daddy?
Kade Maguire *Getting geared up for the oncoming round of hand-to-hand with the boys, I cock my head in Brock's direction upon hearing his voice* What the Fuuuuu….. *choking on the word as I follow his gaze to find the smallest Sterling standing right behind me* Jesus… I almost said it, man, coulda warned me or something. *looking down at her with a grin* what do you suppose it's doing in here?
Niko Breed *Laughing at the look and his near mess up as I fist bumpBrock.* Now what fun would that have been? *Shaking my head at him.* Well being that she's holding a box of cookies in her hand I'd say it has something to do with that, but that's just my guess.
Carys Chase * Looking up at the three of them, I grin big.* My daddy's sleeping and him growls when I wakes him up. Whatchu doing? * Looking around the room and seeing nothing fun I shrug one shoulder.* This place smells like dirty socks...
Brock Breed *Stifling guffaws of laughter at the thought of Sterling growling at his little princess, I pat her on the head.* It smells like Uncle Kade's dirty socks, doesn't it honey? We don't like it either. He has stinky feets. There's nothing much to do in here sweetheart. What are you up to?
Kade Maguire *Shrugging at my inability to argue with the dirty sock comment, I notice the Breedling still fumbling with the box in her hand* My dirty socks are better than Niko's breath anyway *chuckles* Ummm, guys, I think Matchstick might have been right. I think it's hungry *looking back and forth between my brothers* what does it eat?
Niko Breed It? Um you do know that "IT" is a child right? A living breathing person? *He rolls his eyes at me and flips me off. Carys looks at Brock* "Why is he giving Niko the bad finger?" *Kade quickly puts his hand down as I laugh at him.* Oh man this is good.
Carys Chase Daddy says that's not nice. Bub got a swat for that. * Giggling* I did it to but hims didn't see me. * Taking the box from under my arm, I hold it up to them.* I gots this but it's hard to open.Aunt Savy bought em' for us and I want some. Pwease, open it? * I give them all a sweet smile and then point to the weights.* Daddy says bad words when he plays on that. I heard him, it was eff word.
Brock Breed *Turning away from her, I double over in laughter, pressing the towel against my mouth to muffle it.* Sweetie, the eff word is definitely one you shouldn't say. You need to swat your Daddy if he says it again. *winking at Niko* You want some cookies, honey? Hand them to Uncle Kade - he can put that finger of his to good use.
Kade Maguire *Growling under my breath at Brock as I mouth the word "bitch" in his direction, I kneel down in front of the little princess and hold out my hand for her box*
Niko Breed *Pushing Kade on the shoulder for him to get with the program.* Dude I wouldn't get that close bro. You don't know what "IT" is up to. Might take your face off. *He gives me an eat shit and die look over his shoulder. Holding my hands up.* Hey just sayin. Only trying to help. Don't come crying to me when it bites you.
Carys Chase Don't rip it! * My hands go to my hips as I watch Kade try to open the box of cookies.* It has a string so I can carry it! Don't open the end! * My eyes fill with tears as I look up at Brock and hold my hands up to him for him to pick me up* Tell him B, hims doing it wrong!
Brock Breed *My heart melts at the sight of this precious little girl. Leaning down to pick her up and cradle her gently in the crook of my arm, I reach over and snatch the box of cookies away from Kade.* Haven't you learned that when there's a string sticking out of the box that you DON'T pull it? Idiot.
Kade Maguire *Freezing in place as my eyes dart between Brock and the teary-eyed Breedling in his arms* DUDE. I have fuc…. *growls* Dogs, man, I have dogs. There food comes in bags and you have to pull the damn string *panics a moment* Shit, damn it's a bad word, is it? Shit… is shit? Hell
Niko Breed *Her eyes go wide as she looks at Brock then to Kade.* "Oooohhhh that's a bad word. Your gonna b in trouble when I tells Daddy what you said.* Oh man your in for it now. Should I just go ahead and start planing your funeral. I'll just go let Lucan know now that um you're now longer with us.
Carys Chase Brock opens the cookies and shows Kade who nods before giving it to me and setting me on my feet. I take out a cookie and eat it, making a yummy sound and making Niko chuckle. Taking a bear cookie out I give it to Brock and hug his leg. Digging through the cookies I find a lion and give it to Niko and hug his leg. Niko pats my head and I go to Kade. I dig around in the cookies and find an elephant with it's head missing and give it to him and hug his leg.* You tried really hard Kadey. * i close the box and hold it by the little string like a purse.* See? It goes like this. * They all smile and Brock smacks Kade on the back. * I gotta go, Mommy will be lookin for me. Bye! * I blow them kisses and run to the training room door. It takes a minute but I get the door open and hurry out. As the door closes I hear them all laughing and a very loud eff word.....*

TB: Elise - The Perfect Chase

Elise Chase
TBT *She looked in the mirror once more and ran a hand over her hair. Everything was in place. The perfect Chase. She could hear people arriving downstairs and her anxiety peaked, worried she was late. She dreaded the look of disappointment she would see that she had not been there. Hurrying out the door of their chambers, she quietly slid in the receiving line beside Quentin. She smiled at her beloved mate, realizing that she wasn't late after all. It had only been Sterling coming in from a last minute feeding. She saw the censure on her mate's face along with a look of pleading from his brother. Stepping closer to Quentin, she took his hand and squeezed turning his attention to her .* Everything is ready. As soon as your guests arrive, I will entertain the other breedmates so you may conduct your business. *He nodded as the doorbell rang and she began to play hostess like she had been taught.*

Status: Elise - Coming for Her

*The blood in her veins came alive as she felt Tegan's arrival in the compound. Her anxiety relieved knowing he was ok, she always worried when he was out. That would never change. She turned around to continue eating her dinner when her pulse came alive again. He wasn't heading to a debriefing, he was coming for her. And every cell in her body was now tuned to him, waiting with a new hunger. *

Compound: Girlfriend or No?

Micah Breed  *Heading towards his quarters after a long and hard workout, he decided to swing by Elise and Tegan's to see if he could catch his mom before the evenings briefings and details started. Feeling particularly charming, he picked up a fully bloomed purple colored flower from the garden area and whistled quietly to himself as he made his way back down and knocked on her door*
Comments

Elise Chase *Setting her kindle down at the sound of the knock on their door, she opened it and smiled wide seeing Micah standing there. She stepped forward and hugged him, pulling him into the room.* To what do I owe this honor?
Micah Breed *Keeping his arm around her shoulders, he smiled back and held out the flower he had chosen* Can't a breed just want to earn some brownie points with the females in his life?
Elise Chase *She snorted lightly as she took the flower and held it to her nose, inhaling the wonderful scent.* Of course a Breed can. Besides I've been meaning to talk to you about something I heard.
Micah Breed *He arced a brow as he took a seat at the table across from her* Have you now? *Smiling when he saw the purple in her eyes go brighter* And what would that be?
Elise Chase *Nodding, she grinned seeing his father's smirk.* Well, a little birdie told me something and I was wondering if it was true.
Micah Breed *He felt a slight hesitation at the direction the conversation was going as he searched the depths of his memory for any sign of a reason a bird would need to speak at all* Well, I'm not so sure I'd trust every feather-mouth I came across, what did this one have to say?
Elise Chase *Leaning back in her chair, she crossed her arms and tilted her head to the side, schooling her features into a stern look.* Oh, just that you have a girlfriend and neglected to tell your mother.
Micah Breed *Choking on the very air he was breathing, his jaw dropped as he stared at her* Me? A girl.. girlfriend? *Quickly recomposing himself to hide the knowledge that she had to be talking about a hot little brunette he'd found who'd somehow managed to become his most preferred host* I'm Breed, mother, I don't have girlfriends
Elise Chase *She narrowed her eyes and leaned forward.* You don't think the Breed have girlfriends? I think you need to have a talk with your father and some of your cousins.
Micah Breed *Avoiding her gaze to save himself the embarrassment. He knew he was caught so now the decisions was should he fess up or not* I can promise you I WILL be talking to my cousins in the near future. One cousin in particular *Barely keeping the growl form his tone* So what was said about this "girlfriend" I supposedly have?
Elise Chase *Shaking her head, she returned to her relaxed position.* Now you really don't expect me to give up my sources, do you? But I was told you have been spending a lot of time with her and it was time for me to meet her
Micah Breed *He felt the blood drain from his face completely. Keep it together, Micah, you're a god damn warrior. He leaned forward slightly to rest his elbows on the table* Well I gotta eat, don't I? *he watched her eyes and hoped like hell she couldn't see what he really thought of his little female*
Elise Chase *Watching his reaction closely, she noticed the flash of amber but decided to give him his space. She reached forward and covered his hand with her own.* Sweetie, yes you need to feed. Just promise me that I won't be the last person to find out if you do find one.
Micah Breed *Looking back up at the face that had cared for him his entire life, he gave a slight half smirk, half smile and nodded. He knew she'd read him like a book and was letting him find his own way to tell it. He was grateful she understood and was equally sure he would be the end of Aric as soon as he got his hands on that little birdie* She's just a host, mom, but I seem to be fond of her *He smiled again and hoped like hell his body's reactions to the thought of her were hidden by the table*
Elise Chase Good, that is exactly what I wanted to hear. You are way too young. You need to enjoy life. Now, I need some ideas from you. *Knowing she had gotten more than she expected, she decided to change the subject.* Christmas presents,
Micah Breed *letting out a deep laugh, he scrubbed a hand over his face and readjusted his hat* You know I like my cars, Mom
Elise Chase *Rolling her eyes, she laughed.* I know. I was thinking of going all out this year for Christmas since it has been a few years, plus you are home. So I'm taking that as a yes that you will help me. *Seeing his look of horror, she laughed harder but refused to let him get out of it.* That settles it. I'll speak to Lucan and ensure you have the time off I need. He owes me you know. *His eyes widened and she changed the subject on him again, not giving him time to protest. She loved his spontaneous visits and liked to keep him in his toes. Enjoying the time, they talked more and his unease went away as the topics changed. How much she loved her son was indescribable.*

{Answers, Blood Moon Rising} Blood Moon

* The next few weeks after the blood moon flew by. People had started their Christmas shopping, so business at the Dome had picked up considerably. There was still no word from or about my father and my heart grew more heavy each day. Dia was avoiding me every chance he got. I needed to corner him somehow. I needed to know the truth. Picking up my phone, I send him a message ~Urgent matter needing your IMMEDIATE attention. Come to Teardrops ASAP~ Letting out a deep sigh, I say quietly to myself* I really hope this works.

Dia Rivera * The phone vibrated on the wooden desk. Frowning he saw Aine name flash up on the screen. What the hell did she want? he thought. Picking up the phone he answered* What nail did you break this time, princess.

Aine Declain *Shaking my head as he calls me back* I didn't but I need your help. Please hurry! *Hanging up on him, I hope that he will show up quickly*

Dia Rivera *Entering the store he waits impatiently as she waits on a customer. Nothing looked a miss, so what the hell was her emergency. Nodding at the customers as he makes a hasty exit out he turns his attention to the female* What's the fucking 911?

Aine Declain *Rushing to the door after the customer, I flip the "Will return sign and lock the door. Pulling the shade down, I walk back to my office and turn on the security system, the glow from the uv lights filling the shop. Turning to see the look on Dia's face, I smile softly at him* I'm sorry, but we need to talk. I need to know what happened the night of the blood moon, Dia.

Dia Rivera *Shrugs* I have no idea. It was probably some reflection off one of your doo daads. *Tilting his head, wondering if she might know something* Why do you ask?

Aine Declain *Starts to pace the room, looking up at my mother's picture, whispering* I need your help, Momma. *Letting out a deep sigh, I hold out my hand to him, palm up. Holding very still, my eyes locked on my mother's*

Dia Rivera *Shifting his weight he stuffs his hands in his pocket.* Look Aine, you caught me in the middle of something. If you need a female to talk to I'll call Satora. Otherwise spit it out!

Aine Declain *Glares at him over my shoulder. Stomping around the counter, stopping in front of him. Pulling his hand from his pocket, I flip it over and smack his closed fingers* Open it. NOW!

Dia Rivera *Opening his empty hand he smirks*. If you need money come by my office. *Smiles wickedly*. Perhaps we can....

Aine Declain *Growls as my eyes lift to his* I'm not like your girls that expect payment for their...services. I only open my legs for someone that matters to me. *Looking back down at his hand, I trace my finger around looking for the barely there symbol on his palm. Scrunching my brow, not understanding what my eyes see* I can't believe...

Dia Rivera *Jerking his back* I wasn't implying you, me...and what can't you believe? Are you trying to be a palm reader and my future is hidden from your third eye?

Aine Declain *Dropping my hands to my sides, I walk back to my office and click off the security system, shaking my head* Nothing. I must have been mistaken or just really tired. I'm sorry to have bothered you. Walking over to my desk, I pull out my chair and sit. Not understanding what I had seen. Or thought I had seen*

Dia Rivera *Sitting on the corner of the desk he looks down at the female* Like I said Aine, it was probably a reflection of some kind. *Rubbing the palm of his hand the memory of the heat he felt that night still fresh* Now if you will excuse me I need to met up with some investors.

Aine Declain *Keeping my back to him, I wave him away. My mind going a hundred miles an hour trying to figure things iut. Wishing Meison was here so I could ask him for help* Daddy things are so screwed up. Where are you???
