stuck in a tree!

Compound: Nathan a voyeur with Tegan and Elise?

Elise Chase  *The smell of hot chocolate hit her senses first as her mate walked through the door of the living room. Smiling, she took the cup from Tegan and gently sipped the hot concoction.* Thank you, love. One of my favorite parts of the season. — with Nathan Bishop.

Tegan GenOne Anything for you beautiful *He sat on the sofa and pulled her into his lap. He smiled, stroking her cheek as she enjoyed her sugared drink*

Elise Chase *Settling into his lap, she leaned back against his chest and stared at the lights on the tree.* You know I saw this purple car today, it would really match Micah's eyes. Think he would like it for Christmas?

Tegan GenOne Fuck no *He shook his head, softening his tone* He'll be more suited to black or grey. I can get it for you though *He wrapped an arm around her waist, holding her flush against his chest* Anything to make you happy

Nathan Bishop -Arriving back at the compound, my mind still on Jordana. I hear voices in the main living area. At the door, I spy Tegan and Elise. Not wanting to interrupt, I start to walk on by, but I stop suddenly. I look back in on them. My breath catches as I watch them. Feeling like a voyeur, I tell myself to leave but I can't help but look at them with...what is this? Longing? Maybe. I'm not sure. It's such a foreign feeling. I see something in the two of them that I've never noticed before. The love that they share is tangible. I find myself...wanting... and thinking more of Jordana.-

Elise Chase *Smiling, she shook her head.* I gave you my list, and it has already been filled. I don't need anything else. Do you think he needs a new one? Maybe when he returns to the States for good? *She sat her cup down and relaxed back into his arms, nuzzling his neck.*

Tegan GenOne *He sensed a stirring in the air, a slight change that would not have registered to Elise's human senses. No matter, if the figure wanted his presence known, he would announce it* He still has a few more months left. Then perhaps he has a spot on one of the teams

Nathan Bishop -I know that if I stand here much longer, Tegan will sense me, if he hasn't already. It will be hard to explain the reasons for spying on him and his mate. I would likely get my ass kicked and rightfully so. As I take a last look, an image moves through my mind - Jordana and myself...Together. What would it be like? I'm an emotional mess and I am not equipped to handle this. I wasn't born and bred for this. I fear I am losing my mind.-

Elise Chase *She nodded, secretly excited that Micah would be closer to home.* So no car to match his eyes, no matter what I did he still preferred your black and gray to the purple and green I pushed on him. *laughing lightly* By the way, if he asks you about dressing up as Santa, just go with it ok? *grinning* I promise to make it worth your time

Tegan GenOne *He arced a brow, amused at his mate's plan. He turned around and nodded at Nathan, acknowledging his presence. Kissing Elise's lips, he growled as he excused himself* I'll be back soon. Stay beautiful

Nathan Bishop -Shit! I knew better than to wait. I nod at Tegan who is now getting up from his seat. I stuff my hands into my pockets, pulling them out again, I run a hand over my scalp, already feeling my glyphs darkening in color, my emotions roiling. I step away from the door and begin to pace. What the hell am I supposed to say to him? What was I thinking?-

Elise Chase *Sliding off Tegan's lap, she settled in the corner of the couch, picking her cup back up and nursing the drink. She eyed the tv trying to decide if she really wanted to watch a movie with him in the common area of the house.*

Tegan GenOne *As he walked up to the Breed, the air around crackled with anxiety. Something was definitely up.* Everything good? Let's take a walk and talk

Nathan Bishop -Not trusting my voice just yet, I nod and follow him out the door into the cold night. We walk for a few minutes before I sort through my thoughts enough to speak- Tegan, I am sorry that I interrupted you with your mate. It wasn't my intention. -I stop walking and look up at the moon, taking a deep breath, looking for some inner calm in my sudden emotional uproar.-

Tegan GenOne *He smirked* Good thing you walked in when you did. You might have seen worse otherwise *He sobered, patting Nathan on the shoulder. Hissing, he abruptly pulled away, his own senses and emotions turned on like a live wire* Jordana...Fucking hell

Nathan Bishop -A low growl erupts at the mention of her name. I take a step back and shake my head, trying to clear it. I look back up at T with confusion. I know he read my emotions but how could he have nailed it so well? Beyond miserable, I blurt out- Tegan, what the hell am I supposed to do? -I stun my own self with my admonition-

Tegan GenOne Get your emotions under control for one. She's set to be mated, yeah? *He arched a brow at the feral sound Nathan uttered* Shit, you two....have done things?

Nathan Bishop -I run my hand along my scalp again, trying to get myself under control- No! Yes! Fuck! She kissed me. It was just one fucking kiss.

Tegan GenOne As long as that's all you've done. Mind if I give you some advice?

Nathan Bishop -I shake my head- No, of course not. But that's not stopped you before. -At T's look, I shut the fuck up and listen-

Tegan GenOne True shit *He chuckled at the smart ass comment* Seriously though, if it's meant to work out, it will. Looking at Elise and I? It kills me every time to think I could have missed that opportunity. When I lost Sorcha, I made the decision to never be happy again. I was bell bent on not being deserving of the good fortune Elise would bring. *He put his face in his palms and breathed deep* Long story short, if Jordana's right for you, you'll get her. Just don't ruin things and get yourself killed by her parents before you find out.

Nathan Bishop -I absorb his words and nod- I appreciate it, Tegan. Thank you. -We turn back towards the compound. I'm sure he's ready to get back to his mate and I need to go run off some of this tension-

Christmas 2013: Savannah to Gideon

Savannah Dupree  *

closing her eyes she sensed for her mate, smiling to she as she felt him in the gym. picking up her Christmas list she made her way to his tech lab, once there she looked around for the perfect place to put it. Seeing a spot near his work station off into the corner. Going to one of his open computers she pulled up two of her favorite songs for him to play when he returned. Looking back once more before she left making sure everything was the same as he had left it she took her phone from her pocket and sent him a text* txt: Hey babe I left you a little something in you lab, hope you like it... send txt: *hitting the send button as she hurried back to their room to wait for his reaction*

 — feeling excited with Gideon Breed.

Status: Gideon

Gideon Breed   *Pulling deeply at Savannah's vein, I crush her against me as her delicate mouth suckles at my wrist, when her body trembles with the last of her release, she gasps for air and surrenders my arm, falling against me exhausted. I quickly close up the wound on her neck and lay her gently beside me, smoothing the covers around her to keep her warm. Then tuck myself in behind her, throwing an arm over her for added warmth and protection* — with Savannah Dupree.

Status: Dylan

Dylan Alexander  

Dylan had spent weeks searching online and each time she went out for the perfect Christmas present for each of her family. Once she had them all she brought them into the living room of her and Rio's quarters. Ribbons and wrapping paper already waiting, she down and started to wrap them. Wrapping Rio's gifts first so if he came back before she was done he would see them. Them she wrapped the guys first and some of those she had to disguise in other boxes. If she had wrapped the cans as they were Kade and Brock would have figured out the Silly String. She was sure Lucan wouldn't be too happy about it, so she told them in notes she slipped in the boxes to use it outside. Gideon was easy to buy for as well. She found him a mini robot that took commands and danced. Dante was harder, but Rio had given her ideas on weapons and helped her pick one out for him. When she had gotten to something for Lucan and Tegan, she'd had go to Gabrielle and Elise for help. The males were always the hardest to buy for.

When it came to her sisters and nieces, that was a different story. All she had to do there was make sure they didn't buy whatever hit their fancy before she did. Gabby always had a pair of shoes she wanted. Or there was something that sparkled that caught one of their eyes.

As she wrapped each box, she thought how she loved each of them and how it was such a joy to do this every year. They all meant the world to her.

When she was done, she placed Rio's gifts under the tree and placed the rest into bags. Going into the hallway she went to each of the private quarters leaving the gift bags there to be found when they returned.

Christmas 2013: Gideon to Savannah

Gideon Breed  *Hitting the enter key, I wait impatiently while the printer spits out my list. I grab a red pen and write "DEAR SANTA" at the top, and squeeze, "I've been a very good boy" at the bottom above my name, drawing a little devil face next to it. While Savannah is off in the gym with some of the girls, I head to our room, looking around for an obvious spot to stash the list. Noticing her book on the bedside table, I slip it underneath, leaving the bold red letters in plain view. My last task is to slip her new Visa white card on top of it. Now she can finish up all her holiday shopping.

Top of Form

Savannah Dupree *stretching as she realizes that the warmth of her mate was absent; she sits up reaching to turn on the lamp. Sitting back against the headboard making sure the pillows were resting in between her and the bed, really not wanting to get up at the moment she put her hand on the book she keeps on her nightstand, picking up the book she see a slip of paper and a brand new Visa white credit card. Taking the paper in her hand she smiles as she reads her mates Christmas list; shaking her head she reads the list a few more times thinking how fast she could get all the things on the list, tapping her chin she smiled once more as she thought of making a list of her own*

{Ashes to Mathias} - Satora

Satora Razza  ~I made my rounds checking the grounds and noted the scent of the Agent was strong around Aine Declain's store. In some ways, I hoped this was a problem. It would be interesting to find out exactly what Mr. Rowan was after. The Order and their cronies had already shown more interest in our dealings than I was comfortable with, but it would provide a challenge to me to thwart their plans.~

Christmas 2013: From Savannah

Savannah Dupree  *placing the lovely gift from Gabrielle down on the table she makes her way to her bedroom where she had hidden all the beautiful Christmas Wreaths she had made. Putting them all in bags she walked out her door and leaned the one of the four styles against the wall. Going down the hall to Sterling and Tavia's room she started alternating the first two at each door, when she was done with her sisters and brothers she headed down the to Carys' room and set down one of the Wreaths she had made for her niece. Moving along she stood outside the door to the area where all her nephews called home, leaving one for Connor, Aric, Nathan, Dare, Micah and Rafedoors; looking around making sure no one was in sight she kept quite as she left Lazaro's at his door then went to her last stop of the night. Removing the last Wreath from the bag she lay it by the door of Gideon's lab then returned to her room*

Gabrielle M. Thorne *lightly tip toeing out of bed, making sure she does not wake her mate as her tummy growls telling her she wants some of Savy's cooking. Grabbing her green silk robe and slippers she slips out the door only to be stopped by a gift left at her door. Kneeling down to open it she smiles in wonder as she pulls out a beautiful pine cone and woven stick wreath, and a little silver tag hanging from it wishing her and Lucan a Merry Christmas. Bringing the bag and gift from her sister back in the room she knows exactly where she will hang it.

Jenna Darrow *reluctantly leaving the warmth of our bed, I dress to head to the pool for some laps. As I go to slip from the room, I notice the bag and kneel down to inspect it. A smile crosses my lips as I realize what it is and I step to take it inside and note how perfectly it goes with our decorations. Feeling a little more of the Christmas cheer, I continue back on my way, sending Savy a message as I go* ::txt:: Savannah, I love the wreath! Thank you so much! Love, JJ ::txt::

Christmas 2013: Tavia

Tavia Chase   *Getting the traditional ornaments I make every year together* Merry Christmas to my family! I made one for everyone, just put this picture together to show you. *hugs* I love you guys.

Christmas 2013: From Lucan and Gabrielle

Gabrielle M. Thorne  *Knowing her nephews and brothers will love the Rolex Submariners she just purchased she snickers. What they dont know is she has set them 10 minutes fast.....At least her mate can rest knowing they will never be late. Giving each watch to the warriors breedmates and mothers I hope they all have a great christmas* Merry Christmas boys....   

Patrol: Tegan, Brock, and Aric

Brock Breed   *Leaning against the SUV, checking my watch. Aric and Tegan should be along anytime as we're on patrol tonight. Tossing the keys up and catching them repeatedly, killing time, I see Aric rounding the corner, with Tegan not far behind.* Hop in fellas. I've got the keys warmed up, so I might as well drive. Where are we heading tonight? Any specific intel we should know about? — with Tegan GenOne and Aric Chase. 

Top of Form

Aric Chase *Dropping his gear in the back he climbs into the back seat and buckles up. Listening to Tegan go over our plans as we head out the drive. At Tegan's pause he pipes up from the back seat*Think we are going to see any action tonight? I've been itching for a good fight lately. It's been too damn quiet around here!

Tegan GenOne *He smirked, as eager as the young warrior to get in on some action* I hope so. If not, I'd have to result to beating you younglings. Your mothers wouldn't like that *He tipped his blade pointedly, holding his smile as Aric blanched*

Brock Breed *laughing as Tegan makes Aric squirm* Tegan, I don't think you'd have to worry about my mother! *driving along the outskirts of the city, the black SUV blending in with the dark surroundings, we begin to come up on some signs of civilization. Feeling the vehicle suddenly lurch and pull hard to the left, yanking the steering wheel to keep us in the lane, and guiding it off to the shoulder.* Fuck me running - I think we've blown a tire.

Aric Chase *unbuckling his seatbelt he joined Tegan & Brock at the side of the car. Seeing the flat tire he heads to the rear of the SUV to help get the spare tire and jack out. Looking around them at the solid wall of trees on either side of the road he feels the hair rise on the back of his neck.* Something doesn't feel right boss. I can't put my finger on it but...*before he could finish his sentence two human males burst through the tree line. Brock and Tegan instantly take up defensive stances, ready for battle. Taking his place next to them he puts his hand on his weapon and waits. As the humans get closer he takes in their appearances. Torn clothes barely cover dirty bodies, their hair hung in greasy lanks, eyes wide with fear and the stench of anxiety rolled off them in waves. Stepping forward he raises his hands in a peaceful gesture.* Whoa boys, where's the fire?

Tegan GenOne *Knowing immediately what was up, he growled low. Eyes transforming with his fury, he ordered the warriors to have their weapons at ready* it's a blood sport. Fucking lowest scum of the Breed. I'll trance them - looks like we're too late to save that one

Brock Breed *As Tegan trances them, I look through the tree line where the males burst into view. Spotting some lights in the distance off through the trees, I glance over at Aric as I make sure his weapons are ready.* Aric, it's through those trees - see the faint light? Leave the car - we can change the tire at Breed speed when we return, or drive it on the rim if we need to. We have to find these scum now.

Aric Chase *following Brock into the woods they spread out and head toward the lights. When a young breed jumps out at him he puts two bullets into its head. Stepping over to the body, he swiftly removes the unfortunate lads head. Catching up with his brethren, he sees Tegan quickly dispatch two more. Mumbling to himself as he follows them deeper into the woods.* I wonder how many are in this damn party? Don't they know how dangerous it is to pull these stunts?*Becoming more and more angry with each body they come across, they make quick work of everyone they can catch up with. Seeing Tegan suddenly take off he hails Brock.* Hey man, let's move. Bossman just took off that way and I somehow doubt it was to pick some flowers. We need to watch his back.

Tegan GenOne He inhaled deeply, delivering calm, efficient death to each Breed they met along the way. They begged for mercy, their eyes flashing with terror as they drew their final breath. He had none. He thought of the countless lives lost in this kind of senseless behavior. It only served to fuel his fury. Swiveling his head, his Breed senses picked up a shrilling scream deeper into the woods. He took chase, boots crunching up the distance. This kill was his, personally.

Brock Breed *Hearing Aric call out to him, he set off after Tegan at warp speed. No matter what, the prime objective is to always keep his brethren safe. Being older and more powerful, it was hard to keep Tegan in his sights. He moved at a blur, and with a determination that told me this was not gonna go well. Hearing a scream in the distance, he ran ever faster, dodging dead humans and Breed along the way. What in the hell is going down? How many are involved?* C'mon Aric - move it bro! Tegan, we're right behind you and have you covered.

Aric Chase *Haulin' ass to keep up with Brock he barely keeps him in site.*Damn that breed can run, holy hell.* Up ahead he sees Brock stop suddenly. Coming up next to him they survey the scene together*

Tegan GenOne *Eyes sharpening with each rush of adrenaline and anger through his veins, he zipped through the forest, dodging the objects. Through the clearing, he spotted the vile act. The stench of freshly spilled blood (a lot of it) caused his fangs to emerge, calling the Breed in him to life. Hissing, he grasped the vampire by his neck and hauled him off the poor defenseless female. The bastard was shaking, the high of the kill not quite worn off him yet* I'll give you something to shake about

Brock Breed *Keeping Tegan in my sights, dodging bodies as I run, coming up short as I see him pulling a vampire off a female. Smelling the coppery scent of so much spilled blood, I scan the area for more attacks.* Aric - over here!

Aric Chase *Coming up along side of Brock, he can taste the blood on the air. Tamping down on his sudden urge to feed he looks for someone to fight instead. Unfortunately Tegan made quick work of the last Breed in site. leaning over the latest victim he checks for a pulse.*Damn, nothing. Why do they have to pull stupid shit like this? Don't they even care about the ramifications of what this shit does for relations between Humans and Breed?*He snarls as he begins the trek back to the SUV*

Tegan GenOne *As the vampire squirmed and pleaded for mercy, he smiled cruelly. With his fangs, he bit off a significant chunk of the male's throat, watching with a calm apathy as he bled to death. It was a befitting death, and he relished every bite of agony he felt through his touch*

Brock Breed *Transfixed, I watch Tegan masterfully make short work of the errant and hapless vampire. Noting that Aric had scanned the area and found no other signs of life, all that was left were bodies - and bits of bodies.* Tegan, do we need to do a disposal detail? Aric's already heading back to the SUV, so he better damn well have the tire changed when we get there.

Aric Chase *Arriving back at the SUV he pulls out the jack and the spare tire. Thanking the Gods that Lucan put real spares in all the vehicles instead of those useless donuts, he makes quick work of changing the tire and putting the blown one and the jack into the back of the SUV*

Brock Breed *Helping Tegan clean up the mess, we make our way back to the SUV in silence. Arriving back at the SUV, seeing Aric leaning against it with a satisfied smirk, since he's already changed the tire.* It's been quite a night. Climb in fellas, and let's hit the road for home.
