*wanting to spend some time with my mate and get a little shopping done for Christmas I head down to the tech lab. Passing by the kitchen I decide to get some ice cream; getting my favorite flavor I grab a spoon and start eating as I continue on my way. Opening the door I smile as my mate greets me at the giving me a kiss; letting him know that I would be using one of his many computers I take a seat next to him and get to work looking for the first of my gifts*

{Atlanteans} Tavia and Jenna discuss their Findings

Tavia Chase   *Walking toward Jenna's quarters to discuss some of the findings we found in the books that are similar to those in her journals. Knocking softly, I hear her say "come in". Opening the door, I greet her with a hug* Hello sis, I wanted to talk with you about a few similarities we found in the ancient books, that compare with your journals. *pulling up the computer file and reference document* 

Top of Form

Jenna Darrow *hugging Tavia, I put down the journal I had been writing in and take a seat with her on the couch* Show me what you've found. I know you spoke with the professor. I always love how they attribute the Ancient's language to an older human civilization. *smiling, as she pulls up the images and files on the laptop and I remember our time in Prague*

Tavia Chase *Lifting the picture from the ancient Greek mythology book and the symbol from the Egyptian book* If you put the two symbols together, they match almost perfectly. The professor found the same, nothing conclusive though. These symbols match an earlier journal you wrote.

Jenna Darrow *looking at the pictures closely, I see the Ancient writing at another time and recall the musty smell of his surroundings, shaking the memory loose, i refocus on the images in front of me.* This is the Ancient's language. Though it appears the humans adapted some of it as their own. We have seen that in other cultures too since I started recording my, I mean, his life. *looking over at Tavia, I smile and laugh softly* Sometimes it's hard to separate the two.

Tavia Chase *Nodding* I could not imagine going through so many years and reliving his life. I know when I had the dreams remembering the things Diabolus made me forget, it was horrible, I felt like I was being ripped apart. *Touches your hand* How do you handle it? You have seen and felt so much through the years from him. *Tapping my pen onto to desk as I look through the books* I know the answer is in front of us, we just have to piece it together. Here is another one, it was on page five/journal seven and also on page twelve/journal eight.

Dare Thorne *Since I was free right now, I thought I would see if Aunt Jenna could use any help with the journals. Knocking on the door, and hearing her say to come on in, I walk in to see Aunt Tavia there as well, surrounded by pictures and journals.* Hey Aunties - could you use some help? Did you find anything out anything from the Professor that could be of use? I can catalog it into the computer program if you need me to. I have a little spare time.

Jenna Darrow *smiling as Dare comes in, I motion for him to join us on the couch* Hi, I'm so glad you are here. We were just discussing some of the repeating symbols in the journals that you and I have actually reviewed previously. I know Gideon's software has helped tremendously and we can use that for this as well. *handing him one of the images and moving over so he could see the laptop, I look to each of them* I am certain this symbol was also in the first journal I recorded. I remember tracing it while trying to calm myself from the feeling of the burning trees around me, or rather him.

Tavia Chase *Hugs Dare* Hi nephew, I am also glad you showed up. I have about fifty ancient books I have been memorizing, the findings are inconclusive at the moment but in my opinion the symbols match several different languages, especially if you combine. *Pulls open her file on laptop* I am recording all the variations of the dialect in a journal on the laptop. I am gathering and recording everything that I have to make it easily readable for everyone. I have included page numbers, if they correspond with the journals, and I have labeled all the reference books I have. *Looks at you both* I had an appointment to speak with a professional from an auction house, that specializes in ancient artifacts, but I cancelled it.

Dare Thorne *looking at the images and studying them* I think it would be quite easy to scan these images and put them in the program. Uncle Gid's software can then match them up to the appropriate journal entries. *turning to Aunt Tavia" So, you think if these are combined, it's trying to tell us something. Interesting. Do you really think the auction house dude can help? I somehow have a feeling that this stuff is way more ancient than anything he's seen before, but I'd be interested in hearing what he has to say for sure.

Jenna Darrow *listening intently as I study the images* These are certainly a mix of the Ancient's language which is why they are in the journals. They have been corrupted by the humans who tried to incorporate them into their own language though so we need to be careful that the meanings have not changed as well from what we know the Ancient's to mean. Any resources we can pull from will assist us in getting an accurate translation but we need to be very careful who and how much we share of the artifacts. We do not know if someone else may still be looking for whatever they reveal or who might decide to look for it. *nodding to both of them, I pick up another image and study the differences in the language*

Tavia Chase *Nodding in agreement * That is why I came to you first, because of what my father did to you. You share his memories, reliving them as if you were there. *Pulling up the information on the auction house employee* This is him, Sterling is not thrilled about me going, so I cancelled the appointment. I have only shared a few with Professor Myers and I trust him whole heartily. He was a young professor when I went to school, I have known him many years.

I do agree we need to make sure we are correct in our outcome, when finding out about these symbols and their meaning. We are on the right path to figuring this out, I know it.

Dare Thorne *looking thoughtfully at the images once more* I can see why Uncle Sterling is leery about it. In this day and age, you can't be 100% certain that others that may be hunting for the artifacts may not have gotten to him first. Please be very careful about the information you provide to him, Aunt Tavia. The fewer people outside this compound that know about this, the better off we are. I'm sure Dad would agree. I'll get to work on entering this information into Gid's program right away. I'm certain we can figure this out. It might take some time though.

Jenna Darrow You really shouldn't go alone. One of the warriors should accompany you just in case he's not on the up and up. *looking over at Tavia and nodding* I would make sure not to leave him with any of the images either just to be safe. Sorry, I know you trust him but we must be careful. *glancing over at Dare, I smile sweetly at my nephew* Perhaps your father would allow you to go. You have done extensive research on my journals and are an excellent warrior. I'm sure it would make Sterling feel more comfortable as well.

Tavia Chase *Grins* Yes, since the college class I did and dealing with protestors, Sterling, as well as the other warriors won't let us go alone. I am still not sure I trust the person from the auction house. I would feel better if I had a few go with me. I have only showed my professor the drawing I did of the symbol not the actual artifact picture.

*Laughing * Dare, Jenna I actually had someone tell me to go back to my planet at the college. Aric was so pissed, I grabbed him and pulled him away. He could not understand how I could be so nice. *shrugs* I guess I am still hoping to change the opinions of humans.

*Shaking off the memory, I get back down to typing up the reference document, for everyone's benefit * You know, it is strange to think another race of immortals living among us, but it would explain a lot.

Dare Thorne Maybe Aric and I can go along with you. You know he'll want to go and keep an eye on things. We'll want to take all precautions necessary - including not letting any of the images out of our sight - not even for a minute. That's all the time it would take to copy them. We can run it by Dad to see if he can spare me to go along.

Jenna Darrow *setting down the photos and getting up to pace the room* I think that would be best Dare and I am sure your father will agree. There are still a lot of humans that fear us and just don't understand. Hell I recall when I first learned of the Breed. I wasn't scared but I kinda had other issues to deal with, like my own changes thanks to the Ancient. Hopefully this will all one day help answer the question as to why he did this to me. That is for another time though. Right now we need to get our hands on whatever this leads us to before anyone else does.

Tavia Chase *Flipping through Gideon's program* He set it up basically how I did on the journal for the artifacts, so we should be able to combine the two and it search automatically. You think you can do that Dare? *Looks at Jenna sympathically* I understand that totally Jen, I was told my whole life that mine were scars from a fire. *Taking a deep breath, rubbing her neck to take out the stiffness* It is really puzzling and I agree we need to be on this before anyone else is. *Stands to walk off some energy* I know the answer is right in front of us, I have been scrolling through my mind cataloging them all in my mind. It now pays to have the photographic memory, but I still wish I could knock people down like Renata. *winks at her nephew when he laughs*

Dare Thorne *laughing at Aunt Tavia* Okay ladies, I'll leave you to it, and I'll start work on loading the rest of this into the program and running the comparisons. I'll check with Dad to see if he'll be okay with me going along. I'm sure he won't mind as long as I'm not needed elsewhere. *taking the photos, I leave them to their conversations as I head to the computer lab to scan in the photos and load the programs.*

Jenna Darrow Dragos caused a lot of pain to a lot of people. I am surprised he really thought he could contain the Ancient forever and that he managed to do so for so long. Guess it was all meant to happen as it did. Though I certainly never would have asked to be changed, I am thankful that it brought me to all of you and especially Brock. We will figure this all out together. With the research Dare has done over the years, your memory, and Savy's ability to read the history of the objects when they arrive, we will really get some answers. *hugging Tavia tight* As always, we will rise above any challenge.

Tavia Chase *Thinking for a moment * You know I was perplexed that Savy could not read the artifacts, she tried in Prague but could not. *Looking at the time after returning the hug* I'm so glad you came into our lives as well. *yawning* No wander I feel so tired we have been at this for hours. I think I need to go crawl in bed with Sterling and start fresh tomorrow. *hugging her again, I gathered up my things and headed back to my quarters *

Outing: The Kids Celebrate Connor

Connor MacConn   *Pretty stoked about finally receiving my degree via air mail from Scotland, I need to get out and celebrate, sending a mass text to all my cousins to meet me in the main hall <Whose up for a night out?!> I go and get dressed. Seeing Aric and Carys coming down the hall I know I don't have to ask if they are up for it.*

Top of Form

Aric Chase *fist bumping Connor *Way to go my man! We are always up for trouble! Right Lil Sis?

Carys Chase Right. I'm always ready. *laughing I hug Connor* Thanks for asking us to come with you.

Mira Nicholas-Archer *Hearing commotion in the hallway, I pop my head out the door to see what was going on* Hey guys, what trouble are you off to now?

Connor MacConn *Fist bumps Aric, hugging Carys* Somehow I knew you two would be up for a night out, what are the hot spots out here? *Seeing Mira I smile* You and Kellan too busy to join our trouble making tonight?

Aric Chase *looks at Carys* she hit's the clubs all the time. What do you think Sis? I think that place you went with Jordana sounded cool. Want to check it out again?

Carys Chase *My eyes widen at the mention of the club where Jordana and I went, the same one Rune works at.* Um, sure why not.

Mira Nicholas-Archer *smirking* Yeah, he's waiting for me actually. *winking* You guys have fun, don't do anything I wouldn't do! *grinning, I step back into the room to join my mate*

Connor MacConn *Laughing I begin to hear thoughts of this Rune character Carys apparently has something with I wrap my arm around her shoulders.* Don't worry we won't do anything to embarrass you...too bad anyway, night Mira! *Heading out to the garage, we are off to town.*

Aric Chase *pulling up in front of the club we scope the parking lot on our way in.* You good man?

Carys Chase *Sitting in the backseat, I wait for Aric and Connor to give the all clear so I can get out. When Aric nods I step out and smooth my hands over my clothes. My heels clicking over the pavement as we walk inside to loud music and even louder humans.*

Connor MacConn *Climbing out of the vehicle following the twins in the music blaring club, I nod to Aric.* Couldn't be better! *Feeling eyes all over me we head over to the bar, so they can grab some drinks*

Aric Chase *following Connor to the bar, Carys & I take a good long look around. There were a lot of unsavory characters in here for a Wednesday night.* keep your eyes open man, we seem to be attracting attention.

Carys Chase *I pull my jacket around me a little tighter so my glyphs don't show. I look around us and some human females watching Aric and Connor.* Heads up guys, you're being watched. *When they turn to look I laugh*

Connor MacConn *Nodding in agreement with Aric.* Got it man! *Hearing Carys about the females, I'm intrigued and we turn to see a couple of long legged females eyeing myself and Aric down. Smirking I look to aric.* Tonight might turn out good after all. *Nudging Aric and laughing.*

{Atlanteans} Teardrops From the Moon - Grand Opening Ceremony

Teardrops From the Moon - Grand Opening {Atlanteans}: November 2, 2013

Facebook Status Post

Facebook Fan Page

Dia: *Pacing the office, I look down into the atrium where the crowd was gathering. The big night was finally here after so many delays. Reaching for the phone to find out where the hell Meison was I hear the click of the door as Satora enters the office followed by my partner and Aine. Growling* It's about bloody time you got your asses here. I was about to have the ceremony start with out you.

Satora: ~I looked up at Dia then glanced at my watch pointedly.~ A little impatient are we? Everything is fine, I had to settle a few last minute issues but it has been taken care of. Evening Mr.Declain, Aine

Meison: *Extending my hand forward to shake with Dia despite his impatience* Relax. Tonight will go splendidly if not, there will be dire consequences to those who interrupt our joyous occasion. Aine, dearest, are you ready for your big unveil?

Aine: *leaning against the wall just inside the door, my stomach in knots over the opening of my shop. Turning when I hear my name, giving Meison my sweetest smile* As I can be.

Mathias: *He looked out at the crowd gathering below, scanning the area for signs of trouble. He never liked crowds and mixing humans, Breeds, and alcohol was never a good idea to him. He would take his time and gather as much information as he could. He was curious to know what, and not just who, was behind this concept.*

Dia: *Taking our places on the stage. I look across the crowd. There are several influential Breed leaders along with government officials and their date. The mayor of the city gives the opening speech, followed by several government dignitaries. When all the honored guest had spoken Meison and I take the floor.* Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to thank you for coming this evening to celebrate the Grand Opening of the state of the art, multi functional complex......*Finishing my speech I turn and introduce my partner and associates to the crowd*

Satora: ~I followed Dia down to the reception area and nodded to each of my guards as we passed. They had strict orders for tonight and disobedience was not among them, nor was trouble. Anything out of the ordinary was to be dealt with quietly and quickly. Stepping up to the stage, I surveyed the area again watching Dia's back as he made his speech. My gaze strayed to the Declain's, still intrigued by their presence.~

Meison: *Taking a sip of wine, I continued the speech that Dia had began* It is our hope that this will foster a connection between the Breed, humans and perhaps other creatures that might inhabit this earth *Chuckling, a clue that everyone else should join in the "joke"* As you can see for yourselves, we've spared no expense. This is a vision that my partner and I fully understand and hope to see to fruition *Raising my glass in salute* To the promising future

Aine: *Following behind my father, standing slightly off to the side holding my glass of wine. Shaking my head at his attempt at a joke. Taking a small sip as I look out over the crowd. Giving Meison's cheek a kiss as he comes back to stand beside us* Very well said. You've always had such a way with words.

Mathias: *He listened to the cookie cutter speeches and worked his way up to the "officials". It was time to meet all the players in this little game. Dia took the scissors from a lackey and stood at the ribbon ready to cut it and as he looked around at the observers, I made sure he was aware of me. Smirking, he lifted his glass to Dia and mouthed "congratulations".*

Dia: As I cut the ribbon I locked gazes with a face from the past. Leaning towards Satora. I whisper* Looks like we have a visitor from the past. Keep an eye on him. If he's around then there may be others from The Order close by.

Satora: ~Nodding to let him know I heard, I eyed the Agent. It was not a surprise that he was present since he lived in the apartment complex but I was surprised to see him front and center. I reached down and felt the hilt of my knife letting him follow my move. I gave the Agent a smirk of my own and tipped my glass at him.~

Meison: *It was interesting to watch, the power play between us all. I frowned internally, making sure to keep the disturbance off my face. The agent from a few months ago had made another bold appearance. It would soon be time to deal with him once and for all* Aine, is there anything you would like to share with our guests? Perhaps invite them to buy some authentic pieces

Aine: *watching Dia and Satora closely, following their gazes and the way they look at the Breed male up front. Turning my attention to Meison as he asks me to speak, trying to hold back a groan* Oh you know how much I hate speaking in public. *sighs* But if it will make you happy, I will. *walking up to the mic, I let me eyes flow over the crowd* I'd like to invite you all to enjoy the shops and stores that have not been previously open. Teardrops from the Moon is one that is opening tonight. Please feel free to browse and maybe take home something special.

Mathias: *He watched the play and smiled to himself, moving closer as Dia and his party started to mingle after the speeches. He caught up with the beautiful young lady, curious to know how she fit in to all of this.* Interesting name for a shoppe. Any meaning behind it?

Dia: *Making my way through the crowd toward followed closely by Meison we make our way to Mathias. Stopped by a group of reporter. I look back at my business partner.* I'll take care of the press you keep an eye on your daughter. That cop is up to no good.

Satora: ~Keeping a small distance from Dia, I looked around the crowd, bored and wondering if I could find a distraction. I watched Meison frowning at the interaction of his daughter and the Agent and tried to get a feel for what was going on but I got nothing. Stepping up beside him, I whispered.~ She is all grown up, Mr. Declain. However, he is Breed and would have no real interest in her.

Meison: It matters not. She is my daughter and I must protect her *Walking up to the scene, I slide an arm around Aine protectively. It was a silent nod that she didn't have to answer anything. I would handle this* I see you've taken an interest in another situation. I'm curious to know what your business is here

Aine: *smiling at the male before me* Thank you. It was from...*feeling an arm wrap around my shoulder, I turn and see the unhappy look in my father's eyes and the clipped tone of his voice* Daddy, he's a guest and I'm sure he means no harm. *smiles again at the male as I pull out from under Meison's arm and link mine through it* I'm sorry, but we have some things that need to be attended to concerning the shop. Enjoy your evening.

Mathias: *He arched his brow at the male.* Why I was invited to this little shindig. Did you not see my name on the invitation list? *He had a look of mild surprise before schooling his features.* Well, well. It looks like someone had a little miscommunication. No problem, I'll be around for awhile. I'll be sure to catch you later. Miss Declain, we shall finish this conversation another time. *Nodding to the ladies, he stepped away, knowing he would be the topic of their conversations in the future. They knew he was there so his mission was accomplished.*

{Atlanteans} Tavia and Carys Catalogue the Artifacts

Tavia Chase  *Sitting in my living quarters looking through books when Carys knocks in the door* Come in *Smiling at my daughter, I lean up hugging her* Thanks for coming to help me with cataloging and research on the artifacts. *Giving you the pictures to look over while I flip through an ancient Egypt book* I am finding if I combine some of the symbols I can match to several different origins, but nothing definite yet.

Top of Form

Carys Chase *Hugging mom, I sit beside her and take the photos from her.* Sounds tedious mom. But, I'm glad to help.

Tavia Chase *Laughs* It is, but I know the answer is right in front of me. I just have to piece it together. *Sipping my coffee* Do you want to go to the spa later this week?

Carys Chase Nodding as I scan a photo looking for anything to help mom out.* Yeah, that sounds great, mom.

Tavia Chase *Pulling up laptop and typing up my findings so far, I then pull out a Ancient Greek and Mythology book* These books are so old, I was glad there was a place in DC that had books like this. Look some are even hand written.

Carys Chase Wow, they're beautiful. * carefully picking one of books up, my fingers lightly brush over some of the writing, I smile because I can read the words.*

Tavia Chase Mira told me I looked like Bell from Beauty and the beast, when I climbed up the ladder and pulled stacks of books down. *Typing* <Journal number six, page eight has a similar symbol to artifact number six. Talk with Dare or Jenna in reference to it> *looking at Carys* Did you and Jordana have a good time the other day?

Carys Chase *Grinning, I set the book down and go back to scanning photos* Yeah, we did. We really teased Nathan. He was a good sport though.

Tavia Chase Teased Nathan? Why did you tease your Uncle? *Typing another note* <symbol on artifact eight can be found in two different books, similar but not exact matches>

Carys Chase *Laughs* Mom, him and Jordana Gates like each other, you can feel it when ever their around each other. * Sitting up I scan the photo in my hand before giving it to mom.* Does this one match?

Tavia Chase *Eyes sparkle at the thought * He deserves someone like Jordana, I think it would be wonderful. He had to grow up way to fast, with what Dragos did to him, but he had something the other assassins did not; a mother that loved him and fought like hell to find him. *Looking at the symbol * Damn that is really close Carys, the line is a little off, but we will record that as well.

Carys Chase * Smiles sadly as I continue looking at the pictures* You know, I remember you telling me and Aric about that. It made me appreciate you and daddy more.

Tavia Chase *Nods* When I came into the family, he never smiled, he was quiet, and constantly watched everything around. It took him a few years to let that guard down and let his family in.

Carys Chase That's so sad, mom. *Shaking my head* I'll never understand how anyone could treat a child like that. *Picks up one of the books to compare a symbol I found*

Tavia Chase Dragos was an egomaniacal bastard, he cared for no one but his own personal gain. That was so long ago and another lifetime, it seems. *Typing another entry into the catalog document* <Carys found a very similar symbol in book number XXI Mythology, page 68>

Carys Chase *Grabbing another book on ancient Greek I flip through it till I find what I'm looking for and set in front of mom.* Here's one, and it's in another picture as well.

Tavia Chase *Smiles* that is awesome thanks Carys. *Typing another entry on the document* <Carys found the same symbol in above entry in book reference number 1297301, page six> *stretching and standing to walk around for a few*

Carys Chase Mom, what's gonna happen if you figure all of this out? Then what? * Thumbing through the ancient Greek book absently*

Tavia Chase *Laughs* Never thought about that, just would like to have a little more on the breed mate mark and where we originate from, be it a fallen city or immortals of a different race. I am not really sure yet. We are just cataloging and going from there. *Grabs your hand* Let's go for a walk and take a break.

Carys Chase Sure, mom. * Standing as mom pulls me up, I stretch and follow her out.*

Tavia Chase *Taking a walk through the halls of the compound, talking with Carys* I think a lot of it is us finding out more about the other Immortals that we believe are blending in with society and fathering breedmates all these years.

Carys Chase Yeah? That would be cool Finding out who the first ones were and stuff. *Nodding to others as we pass them.*.

Tavia Chase *Heading outside to sit on patio* It kind of makes since, most of my sister's fathers were in their mother's life long enough to produce offspring. They would not stay because they would not want anyone to notice they were not aging. All these years of not knowing and the answers may be in the few artifacts from the cave.

Carys Chase *Sitting beside her I smile softly* I'm glad I have you and dad, even Aric. I couldn't imagine not knowing who my father was, or if he even cared about me. *Laughs* I was such a daddy's girl anyway.

Tavia Chase Yes you were and still are. *Hugging you tightly* I am glad to have you as well, I could not imagine my life without you and your brother. You know what? We did enough cataloging let's go get Mani/pedis and relax.*winking at my daughter*

Carys Chase That sounds perfect mom. *With a huge grin on my face I head inside and get my purse and keys. I meet mom in the underground garage and we get into my car. All buckled in I drive us through the city to our favorite spa for some much needed pampering.*

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...*

Top of Form

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*
