Compound: {TB} When the wild calls

Throwback Post:

Kade: *Taking another long stroll through the compound's endless corridors, he couldn't help but force the suppression of the wild as it churned soul-deep inside him. The walls were pristine and the sound his boots made on the hard floors echoed enough to tell him that there was clearly enough space to appease his needs, but his mind kept wandering to the great winter-claimed expanse he had left behind him. Niko wasn't lying when he'd spoke to him about the nature of the high-tech facility. It was everything an operation like the Order could ever need and his draw to the life of one of Lucan's warriors was undeniable, but he still felt the chilling absence of the territorial wolf pack and the haunting responsibility of his twin brother Seth*

Tegan GenOne * Coming out of training facility, the heels of his combat boots loud on the tile floor, rounding the corner to the corridor that lead to the lab whereLucan and Gideon were waiting to have a meeting on scheduling. Seeing one of the newest members to the order, Tegan nodded to Kade*

Kade Maguire *Stopping just short of the hulking GenOne, he cocked his head tot he side and almost laughed out loud* Damn. Niko said you were in a world of your own *he shook his head as Tegan arced a brow* The rumors of you are legend *raising his hand to rub down the back of his neck as the awkwardness of the meeting settled between them* Just sayin...

Tegan GenOne * Noting the nervous reaction Kade had toward him, Tegan smirked and nodded. He could only guess what the Russian has said.* Niko says a lot, wouldn't believe everything. How are you finding Boston and the other warriors here, Kade?

Kade Maguire Cramped.. I mean, confining… *face palms* Fine. I am finding them to be just fine. *Shaking his head as he silently cursed Brock for his absence* You guys got a lot going on here, a lot of Breedmate activity too *thinking back to his home and family* Not a ton of room to screw up, you know?

Tegan GenOne * Arches a brow at him* You will get use to the compound in no time, and the ways of the other warriors. Follow orders and you shouldn't have any problems.

Kade Maguire Yeah *laughing nervously inside his head as his mind felt it necessary to project an HD version of the problems Seth could create for him* Should be no problem at all *giving the GenOne one last size-up, he promptly decided to try his luck at a round of hand-to-hand with his assigned patrol partner over the chance of being shredded in the marble hallway by a predator who could probably smell the internal struggle with the darkness going on deep inside his gut* Thanks for the note, man. I'll catch ya around

Tegan GenOne * Nodding, he watched Kade walk down the corridor and disappear around the corner that went to the training room. Pushing the warrior to the back of his mind with a note to keep a check on him, Tegan went to the lab for the meeting he was already late for, knowing Lucan would give him hell for it.*

TB: New Year's Edition

Carys Chase

A special ‪#‎TBT‬ New Years Edition...

* Jordana and Carys sat on the sofa, huddled together, the boys, Rafe,Aric, and Dare were on the floor in front of the tv. All of them wanted to watch the scary movie , the boys were loving it, Carys, not so much. * Bub! Give some popcorn. You're hogging it from me and Jordi. * Without even looking at her, Aric passed the bowl to his twin and continued watching the movie. Carys didn't really want the popcorn, she handed it to Jordana who didn't want any either so she gave it to Dare who set it front of Aric without even blinking. * This is dumb, come on Jordi. There's a big party and I want to see everyone dressed up.* Carys got up and hopped/ tripped over Rafe, who gave her the stink eye. Carys stuck her tongue out at him and she and Jordi started to leave. " Where are you going?" Aric hissed at her.* This movie is stupid and I want to see the party. * With that she grabbed Jordana by the hand and the two of them took off. *

Jordana Gates-Bishop *giggling, I take Carys by the hand, and we tiptoe out to the landing. Peering through the railing, we really can't see much, but we can hear the laughter and music.* C'mon, let's sneak downstairs! We can see so much better, but we have to be quiet! I wanna see what's going on!

Rafe Malebranche *Seeing the girls leaving, I looked at Aric and Dare* Where are they going?? Didn't they want to watch the movie with us in the first place?? *I never really understood girls. They always wanted to join us for everything we did, but then got too scared to stay for what we were doing. Dare, Aric and I looked at each other and shrugged. I guess none of us understood what the girls were thinking about. My curiosity was peaked though and I wanted to find out what the adults were doing* Maybe we should follow them, just to make sure they don't get into trouble?

Aric Chase *he nodded at Rafe and took Dares hand* come on Dawe, let's see what the girls are doin now.* They headed out the door and such down the stairs. He could hear music and an occasional laugh.* it sounds fun. Dawe, why don't they wet us pway down hewe? They awe. It's not fair! *He spots Jordi in the corner and runs across the hallway to join her and Carys, Rafe and Dare close behind*

Dare Thorne Aric, you're spillin' the popcorn! Who wants to pway down here anyways? They don't got no games or nuttin'. *Crowding in between Rafe and Aric, behind the girls, giving Carys' hair a yank* C'mon, lemme see what they are doin'!!

Carys Chase Ouch! Dare you dummy! * She elbowed her cousin and shifted so he could see. * Looks, there's Mommy and daddy dancing! Oooh, Auntie Gabby looks pretty. * Aric poked her in the side and held a finger up to his mouth, silently telling her to hush* You hushie yous a dork anyway. * Jordi giggled and Rafe poked her side making her squeal* Stop it poo head!! Yous gonna get us in twouble!

Jordana Gates-Bishop Boys! *huffing in disgust* We can't go anywheres without dem doin sumpin bad! Shh!! Oh lookie at them pretty dresses! I can't wait to grows up!! *elbows Rafe and Dare to make them stop laughing* Shut up you guys! We're gonna get caught!

Rafe Malebranche Oooof. Jordi...... don't do that. It hurts. *I pouted and rubbed my side* We don't gets anyone in troubles eithers!!! *I peered inside and frowned* Why is they all dancing?And eating cake? It's nobodies birthday. We'd be there if it was..... Right? *I looked at Dare and Aric*

Aric Chase Yup, definitwy. They wouldn't cewebwate widout us. But, dey awe, huh. Maybe dey don't wuv us no more. *He sniffs and looks at Dare. Dare was older, and the leaders son, so he figured Dare knew everything, right?

Dare Thorne *Smacking Aric lightly upside the head* Don't be so silly. Of course they loves us. We got all that cool stuff for Christmas. You know it's not that Santa guy. It's your mom and dad. *laughing as the other boys start to well up with tears.* Uh oh..... speaking of Dad.....We're in for it!

Lucan Thorne *As the party guests and his family members enjoy the evening, he turns his attention to their surroundings; allowing his senses to become focused, he takes stock of the environment. Quiet on the grounds, and mostly quiet in the house.  Gabrielle slides her arm around his waist, tip toes and lays a kiss on his cheek, whispering in his ear* "Oh no you don't, vampire. No work, you're all mine tonight" *He responds by pulling her against him, kissing her forehead and nonchalantly winking* yes Dear, Just five little details to take care of"   *Making his way silently to the edge of the grand room, he edges near to the stairs. Catching the tiny voices of the little spies, he smiles to himself.  He growls letting the reverb echo out into the hall, then Steps out quickly from the shadows, his eyes glowing. He bellows a loud Ho Ho Ho  then laughs as four little super sleuths run screaming down the hallway. Of course he's confronted by his own miniature image. Dare shakes his head. "I knew it was you Dad". He reaches out and tussles his son's hair* Go on son, go settle them down. Your mother and I will be out to tuck you in just after midnight.

TB: Aine's Christmas Memory

Aine Declain with Meison Declain.

December 21, 2015

TB-

*Stretching as I wake up, the sun not even lighting the sky yet. Letting out a deep sigh as I throw back the blankets and get up. Pulling on a pair of fuzzy socks, I quietly walk from my room, going downstairs. Standing on the stairs, looking at all the gifts surrounding the tree. Looking all around the room, knowing that the gift I truly want to be there isn't, but checking all the same. Feeling a hand touch my shoulder, I look up to see our housekeeper standing there, her eyes full of love and sorrow for me* "You know she isn't here, Little One. But that doesn't mean she isn't watching. She loved seeing how happy you always are on Christmas morning." *Pushing my hair behind my ear, she smiles and pats my back* "Go on upstairs and wake your father. It's something he loves and expects every Christmas" *Nodding, I wipe the tears from my cheeks and hurry upstairs.*

*Pausing to take a deep breath before pushing the door to his room open. Pasting a huge smile on my face, I rush in, climb up onto his bed and start to bounce and yell* Wake up, IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!! Daddy wake up!!! *Giggling as he snatches me around the waist and tickles me.* Stop, STOP!!! We have to go open presents, Daddy! *He kisses my forehead as he lets me go. Jumping off the bed, I speed from the room and back down the stairs. Kneeling on the floor in front of he tree as he slowly makes his way down. Thanking Mrs. Pierce as she meets him at the bottom, handing him a large cup of coffee. He sits down beside the tree and nods to me, letting me know that I could start.*

*Grabbing up a gift, I read the tag out loud as Mrs. Pierce and the rest of the main staff comes in to share Christmas morning with us, a tradition that Momma had started not long after her and daddy had married. Crawling back and forth between the tree and whomever the gift belonged to. The room fills with laughter and thank you's as each present is opened.* "Time for your Christmas morning picture, Aine. Go sit with Meison." *Grabbing my favorite picture of Momma off the mantle, I climb up onto daddy's lap. He scoots over in the chair and tucks me into the spot, laying the picture on his chest between us as we smile at Mrs. Pierce and she snaps the picture.* "Thank you, Mrs. Pierce." She smiles back at us, then nods her head* "Time for pancakes!"

TB: Snow

Carys Chase

* Aunt Gabrielle M. Thorne had Jordana and Aric and me get dressed early. Jordana had spent the night and with the fresh blanket of snow outside Aunt Gaby wanted to get some pictures. This was nothing new, Aunt Gaby was always taking pictures and, well Aric and I were often her subjects. I was excited Jordana was here so she could share in the fun, plus Aunt Gaby promised us hot chocolate and cookies when we were done. Outside, Gaby had us run around a little, chase each other around so Jordana and I would have "Rosey cheeks." That made us laugh ans we complied..We'd do anything for her. * Come on Jordi! We can catch Aric!

Jordana Gates-Bishop *giggling, I head after Aric* Come on Carys! *leaning down, I scoop up some snow and make a quick snowball. * Auntie Gabs! We're gonna get Aric!

Aric Chase *he was standing off to the side, looking at the perfect blanket of snow in front of him when he was hit in the back with the first snowball, quickly followed by another* Hey, Jordy! Sissy! Not fair! I'm gonna tell Mom! *as Jordana giggles and bends to scoop up another handful he turns and runs around the corner of the house. Scooping up his own handful he forms it quickly. *I'm gonna git you! Meanie butts!

Carys Chase * Giggling so hard I snort.* You'll never get us you dork! * Jordi and I run around and find Aric, pelting him with snowballs and running back to Aunt Gaby. " Alright, alright..Aric, come on sweetheart, let's take some pictures." Gaby's voice held laughter and as Aric walked over to us, I saw the look in his eyes, I knew what was coming..He got Jordi and me, then brushed the snow from his hands like it was no big deal.*

Jordana Gates-Bishop *laughing as I brush the snow out of my face* You are gonna get it Bub! *Picking up another handful of snow, I hold it in front of me, drawing in a deep breath, and blowing it at him* Auntie Gabs, I wanna be in the picture too!

Aric Chase *Aunt Gabby gave them "the Mom look" and they all stopped, grinning up at her. She shook her head and laughed softly "You are most definitely going to be in the picture Jordana. In fact, you just gave me a great idea." She took us over in front of one of the trees strung with lights and lined us up. Jordy was on one side of me and Sissy was on the other. She had each of us pick up handful of snow and blow it at her over and over until she got the shot she wanted. When she finished we all ran back inside to warm up and have some hot chocolate.*

TB: Elise - What Had She Done?

Elise Chase

December 3, 2015 · 

TBT *The interaction with Sterling in the hallway had provided her the necessary cover to join Tegan without the aura of shame she had felt the past 20 hours or more. She still couldn't believe what she had done. And that he had accepted. Closing her eyes after she settled herself on the plane, she relived every moment of taking Tegan`s blood. "I choose you." Really? Could she not have been so cliche? Sitting beside him now, she was aware of him in every way. She felt his confusion, his determination, his desire to have this mission over and done with, without her presence. But she had a mission too, to avenge Camden. Her eyes opened wide. Holy hell, what had she done. Her pulse skyrocketed and she knew he could tell but prayed he attributed it to flying. Heat was rolling off of him and it confused her. She didn't need this. Didn't want this distraction of an Order warrior. Blinking, she pictured Cam. He was the important one right now. But another image came unbidden. Tegan's green eyes transforming to amber, the taste of his blood on her tongue, the way she had fallen apart in his arms. Her face flushed with shame and a hint of desire. More than a hint if she was being honest. She had to stop. Camden was her priority. Closing her eyes again, she rested her head back on the seat and mentally pushed the image of the strong Breed male sitting beside her out of her mind.*

TB: Elise Hunting Minions

Elise Chase

November 26, 2015  

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

Carys Chase.

‪#‎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.....*
