London: Nightmares

Nova Rowan

3/5/15

*Eddie had once again had a nightmare about Oz's murder, poor kid has been through so much, hell we both had. Staring down at the last picture I had of Oz, tears welled up in my eyes* I miss you Ozzy, you were like the dad we never had. *Knowing that Mathias felt my sadness, he quickly entered, wrapping his arms around my body* Mathias, I miss him so much. *tears rolled down my cheeks, I allowed myself for the first time to let loose about Oz, knowing that Eddie would not see me* I haven't allowed myself to grieve him, I only wanted to protect Eddie, from everything. *He held me tightly against him until my sobs slowly ended. Drifting asleep against him, I heard him whisper* "Nova, you will never have to feel this again, you are safe here, I love you, now rest" *he kissed me softly, I leaned up kissing him before falling asleep in his arms*

{London} Tavia meets Nova

Nova Rowan

They had packed it all up, Mathias and her. The shop was nothing more then a empty shell of a former life. What they would do with it however, was something she just wasn't ready to deal with. She needed time, time to figure it out. Just like she needed time to deal with the belonging's. Eddie was adjusting so well, she was afraid to do anything to derail it. Mathiashelped store it all in a empty room in the facility. Time healed all, it seemed so simple. But it was more then anyone should have to deal with. However, it wasn't the worst life had thrown at her and it wouldn't be the last. But as long at she had him, and their trustee side kick in the form of a tough as nails kid, all she could say was Bring It..

  Nova Rowan Mathias had been sent out on a " routine call ", leaving her to sit around with nothing but the air to keep her company. At least she had her clothes back, and her personal belongings. Even some of those she wasn't ready to unpack. " What to do...What to do..." she muttered to herself as she sat at the computer, spinning in circles in the chair. She slowed to a stop infront of his computer, the screen hummed, like a beckon to cure her boredom. Nova moved the mouse and the screen came to life before her. Feeling a bit snoopy, she clicked on the icon that said security. Up popped a screen full of different area's of the building. One in particular caught her attention. The main kitchen area. which for the first time in a few days, she saw something she hadn't yet. A female in the building. A woman, sitting at the table with a papers in front of her, a coffee in hand. Nova had bolted from the chair faster then she realised and was out the door in seconds flat. She stopped a few feet from the door, and smoothed out her clothing, even tucked her hair behind her ear. She had no idea who this woman was, but incase she was important to the order, she didn't want to let Mathias down.

  Tavia Chase *Finishing my paper work from the meetings I had attended this evening, I was sipping my coffee when I heard running up the hall, turning to greet the new comer to the room. I was quite surprised to see the woman thatMathias had brought to the head quarters. Standing up quickly, I smile softly at her* I'm Tavia Chase, I am the diplomat representative for the North America Order *holding out my hand* It is a pleasure to finally meet you.

  Nova Rowan Nova smiled at her, and walked up to the woman slowly. She held her hand out and took hers, shaking it. She looked the woman over, something didn't seem right to her. She scanned her sight down the womans neck, to her arms, then to the hand she shook in hers. Nova turned the hand and looked at her wrist. " Your Breed? I don't understand..Your a woman?" Nova lifted her head and cocked it to the side before looking back at her arm. She gently ran her finger over the markings, " How? " she gasped. " Their beautiful,... I have never seen.." Nova blushed and let Tavia's hand go. " Sorry love, sometimes, I get carried away when it comes to skin.. Kinda a habit from the trade "

  Tavia Chase *Sliding my jacket off, I turn around allowing her to see the glyphs, that ran along my shoulders, across my back, then into the dress I was wearing* It is quite okay, I love your tattoos as well, they are truly beautiful. *Turning back and offering her a seat* To answer your question, yes I am both a Gen-One female and a breedmate. I was created in a lab by a breed male named Dragos, that harbored the last of the ancients, his grandfather. *taking a breath* He was an evil man, he held many breed mates prisoner forcing them to breed with the ancient, then he took their children at birth, raising them to be killing machines. *touching her hand softly* It is okay, he is no longer living. I was raised human, I believed I was sick with an illness and my glyphs were burn marks. My aunt.. I mean Dragos minion who was pretending to be my aunt raised me. I did not know about the breed until I met my mate Sterling. *smiles* I was the eight embryo but the first to live. My real name is Octavia, I have always went by Tavia

  Nova Rowan Nova walked over to the coffee maker and poured herself a cup before taking a seat at the table. " I am sorry to hear that had happened to you, I guess there really is no end to some's ambition and even to the Breed..." Nova ran her thumb over the back of her hand, over the eye tattoo and her own past secret. " I understand more then you know.." She looked up at Tavia and smiled. " My real name is Catriona, but I prefer Nova. Now, Sterling, I have heard Mathias talk much about him. He seems like a good man, they all do. I would very much like to meet everyone....it's just, I am not sure that is a good idea.." She frowned and stared at the coffee infront of her, " What did Mathias tell you.. about me I mean?" she asked, " I'm sorry again.. I am not used to be meeting new people outside of my work, and tend to try to stay in the shadows, let's call that Habit's of the life huh?"

  Tavia Chase *Thinking back to the first time I met Mathias* Mathias was the first breed male I met after Sterling, he helped us when I first discovered what I was. *laughing softly* I will never forget them staring at me in amazement, I was terrified but was glad to finally know why I was different. Your real name is beautiful but Nova is just as wonderful. Sterling was going through a difficult time when we met, blood lust was very hard on him, but together we saved each other. I was poisoned with Crimson, a drug that use to send Breeds into blood lust. It took six months to heal me and I got pregnant with my twins. *Leans forward* He only said that he met his future in you. *smiles softly* By the way, I am also a day walker, my children are as well.

  Nova Rowan Nova's jaw dropped. " Whoa...I didn't know..maybe I didn't want to know.." She smiled. " I bet they are amazing. I have, well, he is not my son, but for better lack of terms, he might as well be. My mentor, my own " father " persay, kinda adopted myself and Eddie. A burly, surly biker type who took in what society called street trash and taught us what it was to really be human. But some Breed Offical, some Justis officer killed him a few days, leaving me to take care of Eddie. I can't tell you how much it means to me, knowing that their are other children in the order. I saw a picture? A little girl with purples eyes? " she asked Tavia. " Please forgive me, it's just, there are reasons, I need to know that he is going to be safe. I can take care of my self, but Eddie.." She smiled. " I bring a bad taste in some of the Breed, a particular family, infact. They would hurt him, just to see me suffer.." she looked at her new friend with a frown. " Mathias says he will protect him with his life, and I trust him, I do..." she trailed off

  Tavia Chase *Sighs softly* All the children are grown now though, that picture would be of Mira, she was adopted by Renata and Niko. They are expecting a little one soon, I told her she better wait until I arrive home. *touches her hand again* I am sorry for your loss, I did have to answer some questions about that incident. Ozzy was rough around the edges but in all honesty everything that I read on him, showed he was an amazing mentor, friend, and father figure. I have seen Eddie running around here, he is a sweet young man, and I would love to call him my nephew. *smiles softly* As you are now my sister and know that Mathias always stands by his word. *Going to the fridge pulling out some ice cream* I think we need a little treat, would you like some?
• Nova Rowan She smiled wide and shook her head up and down. " ok, so how old are your children? oh, and since you are half breed, did you retain your talent?" she asked taking the bowl from Tavia's hand, " Mine honestly sucks, but from my understanding, since I am to take Mathias blood, it will become easier? I get very sick after words, and frankly have avoided using it because it that, but considering who I mated with his job, it will become useful being able to see the last moments of the dead before death..I would like to be helpful to the Order, to him. I doubt very much that they need a tattoo artist on their payroll. Speaking of jobs, your a diplomat, will you stay in Europe much longer? I would like very much if you did, your the only other person other then the team here that I have had a chance to meet." She asked licking the back of her spoon.

  Tavia Chase *Taking a bite of chocolate ice cream* I must say, this is the best ice cream I have ever had! My children are twenty one years old, I have the first female born, her name is Carys and my son is Aric. My talent is photographic memory, I remember everything, I can walk into a room or watch a video and memorize everything. Passwords, codes, and other things. *Thinking about my schedule* Yes I am a diplomat, I worked for a senator before becoming a part of the Order, I am going to be here a few more weeks, I hope that you can make it to Washington, DC. We are so excited that Mathias found a mate and I must say, you are perfect for him. *winks*

  Nova Rowan Nova blushed, " Well If you look at us, I would totally say we bring the vision of opposite attract. Him all proper and professional and well me." She laughed. " Ok, well this is good....OH!!! " she dropped her spoon down in the bowl. " YOUR BREED!!! This is perfect!! He won't let me leave with out a bodyguard. Said I am now a target, " she waved her hands up as if in danger. " I get it I do, but he also lets his grrr side talk for him, and forget I have been a target all my life. I am always going to be a target. So, you can be my bodyguard! I would like so very much to go for a walk, in the Day! And Eddie needs some fresh air " She reached out and grabbed Tavia's hand. " You and I are gonna be like peas and carrots girl. I can tell. " she smiled. A friend, a real friend at last. Things were finally coming into place they way life should be.

  Tavia Chase *Eyes widen and I laugh softly* I am breed, but I am not allowed out with out a body guard as well. I am not a fighter. *hugging her softly* This hybrid is exhausted, I know that you and I will be wonderful friends. We have a fence around the compound, we could go for a walk, as long as we stay with in the area. *Smiles* I have enjoyed this, I needed something new, besides snooty aristocrats and ten thousand questions. *Stretching* How about we go veg out and watch some movies tomorrow. I make a mean popcorn and Eddie can come as well. *whispers* I have the hook up on the movies! *winks* I am thankful that I you ran down the hall to kick my butt tonight. *laughing*

{London} Need to See You

Nova Rowan

She stretched out her arms in the small kitchen Mathias had in his quarters. She smiled at the fresh fruit, and juices, all the leafy greens that he had stalked in it for her. Leaning in she grabbed a avocado and a tomato, and proceeded to dance around to the music she played in the kitchen radio, slicing into some leftover chicken from the other night. All though she was over joyed that he took that much thought in her needs, there was one thing she needed more then anything else. Picking up her cell, one of the few things she still had to her name, she txted her mate :: Hey Warrior, if you are kicking it around this place, I need to see you pretty please, with a bright red cheery on top, in your kitchen, if your not busy ?::
She hit send and continued to bop her head around to the beat of System of a Down Toxicity.

  Mathias Rowan *He felt the vibration of his phone and pulled it out of his pocket, the name of his mate on the screen bringing a smile to his face. Fuck, he was becoming one of those males. Smiling wider, he couldn't bring himself to care. Instead of responding, he used his Breed speed to rush through the compound until he reached their kitchen. He watched her dance around for a minute before clearing his throat.* You needed me?

  Nova Rowan " WHAT THE EFFIN...!!!" She tossed a piece of lettuce at his face, while she caught her breath. " That good sir was not nice!! " she laughed at him, and leaned against the counter. " Scaring your emotionally damaged mate is not a good idea, you might end up with something else tattooed on you that you wont like!! " She winked at him and turned back to her task. " So listen ya, as I do love my evening gown attire, the beautiful designer, Over Sized Mathias T-Shirt line, I kinda need my stuff, like my clothes." She spun slowly in a black t-shirt that practically had her swimming in. " I need to go back...SO I need you to watch Eddie "

  Mathias Rowan *Catching the lettuce in his hand, he arced his brow at her sauciness.* I think you look perfect and I already liked what you inked on me, if you play your cards right I might let you do it again. *He avoided the mention of her trip, knowing instinctively she was going to be stubborn on this subject* How is Eddie settling in?

  
  
• 
  

  Nova Rowan " Oh Eddie is loving it!! Which by the by, he doesn't touch a gun, do you hear me ? " She winked at him. " He likes watching you all do your exercises, and I think he has taken a liking to Thane alot. Made a life long friend with that guy. " She rolled up her masterpiece and took a bit of her wrap. She swallowed it and frowned, " Listen, I know you don't want me to go, but the fact is, all of my life is there. My equipment is there, Ozzy gave me that gun Mat, I can't just leave it there. Plus, all of his things, Eddies things, it's important to me..I need you to trust me, can you do that?" She looked him deep in his eyes, and reached up to move a strand of hair from his brow, before running her thumb over his worried crease. " I'm coming back"

  Mathias Rowan *Looking down into her dark blue eyes, he grinned at her touch.* It's not a matter of trusting you. It's everyone else I have a problem with. WE can go get your stuff. Eddie can go too. I have a team at your disposal at all times. *He took her hand in his and pulled her close.* I know you are used to taking care of yourself but I need you to trust me to take care of you. I'm not a tyrant but the safety of you and Eddie is my top priority.

  Nova Rowan " No, Eddie, is not going back there, that is not a option. The last thing he saw in that place was the only man who ever fathered him get slaughtered. Trust me when I say this, but things like that leave a lasting memory burnt deep down, he doesnt need to relive that. I WILL pack up all his things, and Ozzy's. I CAN bring them here, and Eddie and you can go through it with me, He can pick what he wants to keep. As for the shop though, that I is where I am lost.." She sighed and ran her hand over her short dark hair, exhaling a deep breath. " I am torn, do I keep Ozzy's lively hood and legacy alive and continue to work there, or can we burn it all to the ground? " she sniffled and turned away, quickly wiping a tear that formed in her eye, before turning back. " And I don't want a bodyguard" She said stiffly, " Never needed one before, don't need a arsonal now "

  Mathias Rowan Fine, I will defer to you about Eddie but not on safety. You are a target now, even more than before. As a mate of a warrior in The Order, you will be in direct line with some of the human hate groups, not to mention your family. *He turned her back around and wiped the tears from her cheeks then kissed her forehead.* We will work this out.

  
  
• 
  

  Nova Rowan She leaned in and rested her head against his stomach, closing her eyes, she sighed, " Fine..YOU, can come, the team can keep Eddie occupied, but.." She leaned in a bit him hard on the rib cage, " You may be bigger, and you may be stronger, BUT I have smarts, that you couldn't dream of, so as I will take your warning's and I will abide them, don't think it means you get to be all macho cheesemo on me, got that?" She winked at him. " Can't I just have one of those fancy ear taking things your guys have, and we can't just do Marko Pollo every five mins?"

  
  
• 
  

  Mathias Rowan *Laughing hard, he couldn't believe how many emotions she coursed through him within minutes.* Marco Polo? *He picked her up and sat her on the countertop then nodded.* Damn good idea about the ear piece. I'll have you one in the next hour. See? I can be agreeable. Plus I will tell the guys no guns for now with Eddie. Would you like to go tonight?

  Nova Rowan " I meant ear piece in trade for bodyguard!!! " She gritted her teeth and folded her arms over her chest. " FINE...." poking at the muscles on his stomach with her index finger, drawing a flower over the tight lines. " But one day I am gonna need a me day, and that means ME.. singular, one.. uno,,,got that?" Nova looked up at the male's face, " It's not funny Mat, I told you I would make your life frustrating and miserable..You didn't listen.." she laughed, " Now your stuck!! Hahaha!! " She placed her palms firmly on his chest, and smiled " Yes, I would like to go tonight, and your right..Maybe one of the guys can come to, to help carry some of the heavy stuff.." she sighed. " Maybe you make a little sense..."

  
  
• 
  

  Mathias Rowan I knew you would see my way of thinking. *Bending down he gently kissed her lips* How about an "us" day sometime soon? I like you just the way you are and would not change a thing, my life needed you. Give me an hour and I will be free to leave, alright?

  
  
• 
  

  Nova Rowan She smiled and kissed him, inhaling his scent that she had come to love. " An US, day would be very nice " she said. Lifting her arms up, Mathias, helped her off the counter. She grabbed her wrap and patted his stomach before making her way to his bathroom. " Ya, that works for me, and remember to tell them, NO GUNS, teach him like math or something.." she winked at him and laughed when he shook his head at her. " See you in a few babe" Nova said, stepping into the bathroom, she stopped and swallowed the last bit of her sandwich. But right before she took her shirt off, she turned and stood in the doorway, " Hey Mattie?.." she said softly. Mathias stopped and stood in the doorway of his quarters. " Ya?" he asked, smiling that smile that made her melt. " My life needed you too.." she said softly, offering up he warmest smile. Nova turned and turned on the shower. Tonight, she would face another fear, but this time, she had her back up, and that once a comfort she never knew how much she actually needed it.
