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.*

*Coming home after a long day at work, I change into fuzzy jammies, make a sandwich and curl up on the couch in front of the fireplace. Picking up the photo album from the coffee table, I start to flip through the pages. Smiling as page after page brings back more memories. Stopping at a photo that momma had taken of Daddy and I at the beach. Biting my lip, I wipe away a tear from my cheek. The sound of my phone ringing startles me. Grabbing it up, glancing at the name on the screen. My eyes go wide as I quickly answer it* Daddy?!?!? Daddy is that you? "Hello darling" Daddy...oh god, I thought I had lost you. What happened? Where are you? "Slow down, Aine. I can't answer you now. I just wanted you to know that I'm alive and safe." Why not? When are you coming home? "I don't know, darling. As soon as I can. Things are...complicated right now. I need to go. I will call again as soon as I can." Daddy, NO! "I love you, Aine" I love you too, Daddy. *Collapsing into the cushions as the line goes dead. Heartbreaking sobs tearing from my chest. After what seems like hours, I sit up and wipe my face. Standing up, I grab my phone and head out the door to the elevators. An older woman gives me a funny look as she takes in my fuzzy jammies and socks and my wet, red face. Coming to a stop at Dia's door, I knock and fidget restlessly until he opens the door. Seeing my state of dress and my face, he frowns deeply and lifts my chin* He's alive. Meison's alive.

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.....*

TB: Elise - The Perfect Chase

Elise Chase

November 18, 2015

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.*

*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. *
