Aric and Carys Shop (#Christmas16 Day 2)

#Christmas16 Day 2

Aric Chase *keeping his annual "shopping date" with Carys, he knocked on their door while checking his watch and shaking his head and muttering* Always freaking late. Damn it, she is going to kill me, again.

Carys Chase Bub! * Opening the door, I grab him by the shirt and pull him into the suite I share with Rune.* You're late you know. * He gives me that goofy lop sided grin and I can't help but to smile back at him and give him a tight hug.* It's okay, you know I can never stay mad at you. * Grabbing my laptop, I motion for him to follow me and we sit on the sofa together.* Have you thought about what to get mom and dad?

Aric Chase *he parks his ass on the couch next to her and opens his laptop, setting it on the coffee table next to hers. Remembering to keep his voice low out of respect for her mate, he quickly opened the web sites he had bookmarked for possibilities* Well, You KNOW I suck at shopping for women right? Like WTF does Mom even WANT?! I spent weeks tossing ideas at her. Nada. Nothing. Zilch. So I decided "chuck it in the fuck it bucket and move on" sounded like a good plan so I went for my failsafe, jewelry. Mom is a sucker for shiny bobbles. I thought this set was nice with the three stones. They could represent The Old Man, you, and me. Or whatever corny shit you can come up with.

Carys Chase I think she will love it. * Grinning at him, I shoulder bump him* You have pretty good taste for a guy. I picked this out for mom from me, it's kind of sappy but, she loves that, Right?

Aric Chase *he grins wide at her* Aaawwwwwww, how cute! Y'all can wear matching necklaces of hearts. Good to know I'm not the only one that fell back on the failsafe. *he chuckles* yeah, she will like that.
*he tapped quickly through sites, avoiding her gaze as silence filled the room. Clearing his throat he took the plunge* So, I've been meaning to ask you something but I'm not really sure how to say it without you... Well, you know. *she arched a brow, waiting for him to finish. He took a deep breath and started* well. You're mated now almost a year. You're, well, you're different now. I feel it. You know, our thing. You're truly happy. I mean, you were always happy before. Eh, mostly. *he grinned* the "princess" *making finger quotes* Breed that got away with anything. But you were always happy. But this. This is different. *He met her eyes as he finished*

Carys Chase *Smiling, I nodded.* I am truly happy, Bub. Rune is wonderful, he treats me like a queen, or a princess as you guys called me. I couldn't imagine being without him. * Leaning against Aric's shoulder she paused before speaking again.* I may be different but, our bond is stronger I think. We still know what the other is thinking and you know, when you find your mate you'll be different to. *He rolled his eyes* I'm serious, she'll change you, for the better.

Aric Chase *he outwardly shudders at the thought but his mind kept going back to the same question every time he thought on it too long. A mate of his own? Was it really as bad as all that? Being a warrior was all he could ever remember wanting. But, a mate?*
*He forcefully shrugged it off and found the present he had picked out for Sterling. * This, in my humble opinion, *he says with a cocky grin* is the ultimate gift for our old man. The Man Can. Maybe I should order one for all of us. Or just get a damn pallet of the shit delivered...

Carys Chase That's awesome Bub! *Laughing* Please, we have to get one for all of the guys! * They both laughed, and Aric ordered enough for all the males within the compound.* I thought about this for Dad. I guess we do think kind of alike.

Aric Chase *he chuckles* We are a pair of striped peas Sis! No doubt about that!
*he scrolls down the page some* Oh hey now. *he snorts* think I may have found a few things for you too, or would I give them to Rune? Hhhmmmm...
*he laughed and reached out to stop her from swiping his laptop but he was too slow. He watched her face as she took in the selection of items he had been looking at*

Aric Chase

Aric Chase

Carys Chase Aric Chase! * I elbowed him as I looked through what he'd picked out.* Rune and I are not pervs! Besides, I could break out of those cuffs in a heartbeat! * We both laughed* Can you imagine? And here I picked out a leather jacket for you..I may change my mind now!

Aric Chase *he leaned back against the couch, laughing as quietly as possible* ok, ok. Just had to do it though. You know, with the kink-fest we grew up with with Mom and Dad. Don't even get me started on Brock and Jenna and the amount of repairs we've done in their suite! Ugh! But I'm not showing you what I'm getting you anyway, so there! Nice jacket though, you can still get it for me. * he grins at her and checks his watch. Damn, I gotta head out soon, escorting Dylan to Toronto. Don't worry though, I'll be back soon. It's too damn cold up there! I don't know how Niko and Renata can stand it!

Carys Chase You be safe, Bub. * I looked at my brother, now a warrior and smiled sadly. I always hated it when our father had to go anywhere, and now my brother. Sure he was just escorting our aunt to Toronto but still, I worried.* I can't wait to see what you get me, and I have something else for you too. * I set my laptop down and hugged him.* I love you Bub. Just be safe and come home soon. *He hugged me back and gathered up his laptop. We said goodbye and I watched him leave, probably heading to his room to get ready for his trip. I closed the door to my suite just as Rune walked out from our bedroom. He didn't say anything, just opened his arms to me. I went to him and was engulfed in his embrace. He could feel through our bond I was worried. He kissed the top of my head and told me everything would be fine. I smiled up at him and nodded. It would be fine. Everything always worked out. *

Trying to get the goods on the young Breeds backfires

Aric Chase

*He didn't understand why he was stuck "checking up" on the rest of the "kids" instead out out getting into trouble with them but here he was, Kade driving and Brock riding shotgun while they watched the throng of humans, and more than a few Breed youth, push their way into the club. He could feel the base throb deep in his chest and they were a few buildings away still. A beautiful blonde with legs to her neck caught his eye. She was smiling over her shoulder at something another female behind her said* Hhhmmmm, she would look good wrapped around my-" * Kade smacks him off the side of his head* What the fuck?!

 Kade Maguire Easy Killer, don't wanna end up on this weeks episode of World's Dumbest Breeds *he held up his phone camera to make sure the footage was recording* Now all we need to do is find one of those youngins striking out and then it's Compound Movie Night for us *chuckling as he pulled the vehicle into a parking space and turned the engine off. Climbing out and stretching his legs, his ears honed in on the all-too familiar sound of pissed off couples who had clearly enjoyed their liquids a little too much* Gentlemen, looks like the action is about to start *grinning, he headed in the direction of the arguing*

 Brock Breed *Grinning at the exchange between Kade and Aric, he opened the door to the nightclub and strode in like he owned the place. Towering over the bouncer, he tossed him a handful of bills.* This should handle the cover charge for the three of us. *The place was dark, reeked of smoke, both tobacco and weed, and noisy as fuck. The dance floor was jammed.* I'm going to wander around a bit and see if I can find any of our guys so we can have some entertainment. *Winking at them, he made his way through the throng and onto the dance floor.*

Aric Chase *he snorted, shaking his head at Brock before catching a glimpse of the blonde once again* I think, I, um, I'm going to check over here. *he twists his thumb in the direction legs went before disappearing into the crowd. He'd gotten about 3 paces before he felt an arm snake around him and a hand wrap around his junk, gripping softly. "See John, if I want to grab some dudes junk on a dance floor, I'm damn well gonna do it and you can't say shit about it anymore!" Was screeched next to him and chaos erupted around him as "John" is a 6'7" no necked, muscle bound, testosterone high, dumbass backed up by 4 matching roid buddies. He saw his night suddenly getting worse* mother fffuuucccc-

 

 Kade Maguire *Catching the collection of Champ's new "gang" members, he snorted out a quick laugh and jogged over to the scene" Amateurs. They never learn, do they, B? "Hope you feel good about yourself you little slut, because now I have to pound the little twerp into the ground for you touching him!" *Risking a glance at the angry pile of meat* Dude, let's just calm down here and take a step back for a moment. No one has to do any pounding *he paused and took another look at the mouth-breathing human* well, no men need to be doing any pounding … *It took all his effort to suppress his growl when one of the man's buddies grabbed his arm and yanked him away from the center, throwing a bitch-ass right hook that looked more like a drunken stumble* God, DAMN it. Why does this shit have to happen tonight?

 

 Brock Breed *Shaking my head as I weave through the crowd, muttering to myself* This is why we can't have nice things. *rushing over to Aric, whose eyes were starting to flash amber from anger and frustration, I whisper in a tone that only a Breed male could hear.* Champ, calm it down. We can't out ourselves in here. It would be mass panic and Lucan would have our asses. He'd have to buy more boots just to finish kicking us. *Turning my head away, I manage to turn it right into a powerhouse haymaker that one of the gorillas with "John" decided to throw.* Fuck me! Damn it!

 

 Hunter GenOne *Lucan had sent me out to see what kind of information I could pick up at the local hang outs. I truly hated these clubs. They were too noisy, too full of bodies. Just as I was on my way to check out a situation, I noticed Kade, Brock and Aric getting into a situation of their own. I took a deep breath and growled low in my chest. Fuck, this was going from bad to worse. I stepped in, grabbing one idiot's fist just as Brock's head snapped back and raised an eyebrow* You really want to be doing that Boy?

 

Corinne Bishop * When Hunter asked me if I wanted to go out tonight I got excited. I was thinking dancing, some dinner for me, some music.. Only after I got dressed did he tell me the real reason we were going out. Information gathering for Lucan. Hunter wanted me there as a cover, so to speak. I was a little hurt but then Hunter kissed me and whispered the most delightful, naughty things in my ear, things he would do to make it up to me. I said yes of course and once we were in the club and "acting" It was actually fun, until Hunter picked up on something , told me to stay put and disappeared in the crowd. I followed of course and what I saw...Two words. Bar fight.*

 

 Hunter GenOne *I swore under my breath when Corinne followed me. I told her to stay put, but right when I need her to stay safe, she decides not to listen. I crushed the fist I had just blocked and snarled. These little assholes were about to learn a lesson in manners. Kade, and Brock seemed to be holding their own but Aric seemed to be in trouble. I pulled one Neanderthal off Aric and slammed my own fist into his face, dropping him like a rock. Just as I was about to take another one down, I felt a hand pull me back*

 

 Corinne Bishop Hunter! You'll kill him! * I made sure my voice was loud, almost screaming. The other humans looked in my direction and I winked at them. It gave Aric and the others the advantage and I pulled on Hunters shirt to pull him back. I got a glare from my mate but, I gave him one right back and whispered.* Don't make me use my gift in here..

 

 Aric Chase *the immediate area paused as Corinne, a slip of a female, pulled Hunter, a giant of a Breed, away and stopped him instantly. He shook his head as He turned to survey the damage. Kade had one face down with his boot in the middle of the guys back. Kade smirked as the guy squirmed under his size 15's. Brock had his bent over in front of him with the roid's shoulder bent at an awkward angle. One man cowered on the floor, hugging his crushed fist to his chest, John, the one that had jumped Aric, was out cold. One of the bouncers pushed his way through the ring of onlookers, sputtering out orders and trying to look like he knew what he was doing* Easy does it big guy, the situation is under control.

 

 Kade Maguire *Turning to raise a brow at Brock* Just couldn't help but bend him over, could ya, B-Rock? *grinning at the Breed's middle finger, he released the fool beneath him to assist Champ with the "man in charge."* Ok, Cowboy, I want you to look deep into my sexy as fuck eyes and tell me how much you love me *giving a low chuckle, he wiped the bouncer's memories of the last few hours and anything having to do with the Breed* There you go, you big kitten *trying his best not to burst out laughing* Now go tell your boss you'll suck him off for a raise *Grinning at his mischief, he turned to his brothers in arms and nodded towards the door* Shall we?

 

 Brock Breed *flipping Kade off, I release the big ape, who was moaning in pain. Looking down I see a spreading puddle. Fucker pissed himself. Are you fucking kidding me?* Hang tight little buddy. Someone will be along soon to give you a fresh diaper change. *Popping his shoulder back into place, I howl with laughter as the puddle starts to spread.* Dudes, this crowd must be stoned as fuck - most of 'em are still dancing and paying no damn attention. *Dropping King Kong back down to his knees, turning to follow the rest of the motley crew back out to the cars.* Who wanted to fucking find the younguns in comprising situations and tape 'em? It'll be fun, they said. Entertaining, they said. Damn. Let's get the fuck out of this place.

 

 

 Hunter GenOne *I growled under my breath at the sorry state of the club and pulled Corinne in close to my side, my arm around her shoulders. She was the only one who could keep me from going bat shit crazy on every single male in this club.* Let's get going. I need to get Corinne out of this shit hole and home safe. *Kade, Brock and Aric followed us out of the club and out to the parking lot. I nodded at the three Breed before guiding Corinne to our car, holding the door open for her to get in before going around to the driver's side and getting in myself*

 

 Corinne Bishop Well, that was fun. * I tried not to laugh when Hunter turned his gaze on me. His eyes were already glowing amber and the way he gripped the steering wheel, it was amazing the thing didn't break.* Okay, I'm sorry I didn't stay put like you asked but, fighting with humans in a packed club is a bad idea, unless you are in danger and we both know you were not. Hunter relaxed a little but his eyes retained their amber glow. When he spoke to me his voice was thick. " I'll deal with the issue of you not listening when we get home, Cori." He winked and turned back to the road and now, I couldn't wait to get home.*

 

 Rafe Malebranche *I had just left the infirmary after helping my Mom with a few things and was heading through the hallways of the compound when I saw Kade, Brock and Aric stumbling in, cuts, scrapes and bruises showing on their faces and hands* What the hell did all of you get into now??? *They mumbled back at me and I just raised an eyebrow* It's a good thing Mom and I just restocked the infirmary. Let's go Gentlemen, I'll get y'all patched up in no time.

{STATUS} Renata TBT

~hiding in the shadows I watch as Sergei's sons pull another girl into their room, shaking my head I hear her muffled screams and feel sorry for her, a shiver of fear skates down my spine as I remember my first few days before the chase....holding back my fear and panting as I push through the shadows into the room next mine, wishing for the day that I can run away, but then scent of baby powder reaches out to me and I know that I really wont be leaving, that small body waiting for me keeps me here more than Sergei does....the soft breathing of my Mouse reaches my ears and I let a smile grace my face, moving into the room I sit on the edge of her bed~ "Rennie?" ~her sweet voice reaches my ears just as she reaches for the white cloth on the bedside table~ "Yes my little Mouse it is me" ~she smiles and I smooth the blanket across her hip~ "Go back to sleep baby we have a long day tomorrow" Sergei wants another vision from her, hoping that it changes, but it never does, soon he might kill her but then that means I will have to kill him...and his sons~

 

 

{Status} Brock waits in the shadows

*Standing in the shadows and waiting. I can hear the rogues coming down the alley and smell their fetid breath. Dammit, hurry up. It's going to be dawn soon, and I want to be home in bed with my mate, Jenna, and you are keeping me from that. Just as my frustration began to mount and my temper to rise, they came within range. Stepping out from the shadows and drawing my weapons, they stopped in their tracks.* Hello boys. *Quickly dispatching them to the bowels of hell where they belonged, keeping to the shadows I go in search of my patrol partners to begin the drive home.*

{Status} Niko and Kellan Target Practice

*Thinking some one on one time with my daughter's mate is on order, I decide to head outside to test my new toys out. Can't wait to see how these babies do. New products need to be tried out. Pulling my phone out of my back pocket I send him a text.* :Hey getcha ass down here. I need a test dummy... LOL

    

 Kellan Archer *He grabs his phone and pulls up the text. He snorts * target practice huh... * he shifts Mira carefully out of his lap before kissing her softly* Sorry I can't stay to watch Goblet of Stone, again. Your Dad needs me. * Making a quick escape, he sighed in relief as he headed topside to meet up with Niko* I'd rather be target practice than watch the rest of that movie again 

* He grumbled*

 Niko Breed *Rubbing my hands together as I wait for Kellan to get his lazy ass here. Looking at the arrows laying on the table I feel like Gollum.* My precious *Giving my best evil laugh. Just then I see him coming across the compound.* Yo I know it was hard to tear yourself away from my daughter, (trying not to gag) but you wanna have some fun?

 

 Kellan Archer *He chuckles as he joins Niko* Absolutely! These are the new ones, huh? The ones you and Mira have been keeping under wraps? * He laughed again at Niko's grin* Alright, let's see what we've got here* He picks up one and turns to Niko* Lighter than I expected, very nice! What are we tossing into the mine field this time, Pop *he snarks*

 

 Niko Breed *Grumbles at the term Pop.* Well Son see those little houses across the field. Well those are our targets. Yes I know you thought I was gonna lock you up in one. Well don't tempt me, I'm still debating on it.* Grinning wide as I pick an arrow up and turning it over in my hands.* These little babies pack a punch...silent but deadly...I'll let you have the honor of firing first. *As he reaches for one in haste I grab his hand.* Dude you don't just grab it...be one with the weapon...Geez.

 

 Kellan Archer *he rolled his eyes and sighed* Yes Sir * He muttered reluctantly. He stepped back, closed his eyes, and reached deep for his center. Aaahhhhh, there she is, his Mouse. The vision of the other night, her against the wall, flashed through his mind and he snorted, Niko probably wouldn't appreciate that. With a slight smile, he took a deep breath and carefully picked up the arrow. Even with the odd shaped, bulbous end, they were well balanced. He was duly impressed, so far...
He positioned himself and sighted down the field at the barely held together, often blown up, sheds at the far end. He barely twitched, letting the arrow fly true as the string zipped by his cheek, ruffling his face* He looked at Niko* And?

 

 

Niko Breed Wait for it. *Within seconds the sheds blow up from the inside out. Sending them up in flames.With the push of a button there's a second explosion. Nothing left of the sheds but ashes. Not even the slightest bit of rubble .Lucan was going to be very happy. Less clean up for the gang.* Now that's a work of art.

 Kellan Archer *The shed blows and even at this distance he couldn't help but flinch as the ball of flame lit up the sky* Very. Fucking. Nice. May I? * He reaches for another but pauses*

 Niko Breed *Rolling my eyes at him, he's like a kid. Let him have one and he wants more. With a heavy sigh I give in and let him. As he lines up his shot I might be having a little more respect for him. He looks like he's actually taking this serious, but only just a little. Wouldn't want him to think I like him or anything crazy like that.*

 Kellan Archer *He grinned as he lined up on the last shed on the end, the furthest away. He adjusted his aim, took a deep breath, and released the arrow. His Breed eyesight tracked the arrow through the air and into the door of the shed. Bullseye. He laughed and turned to Niko* the distance on these is phenomenal, man! *He fell silent as Niko picked up another arrow, with a slightly larger bulb at the front.* Oh shit!

 

Niko Breed *Aiming at the sheds that was further back behind the others. You wouldn't have been able to see them until the others were blown up first.* Now son watch a master at work. This one single arrow will blow up all three if those sheds. So step back. *Letting the arrow fly I hot dead on center. The explosion takes out all three and knocks both me and Kellan on our asses. Getting to my feet but before I can bask in the glory of my work I hear the alarms at the compound. Oh shit! Dammit it must of set the alarms off. That means the damn sprinklers will be going off.* Well kid it was nice but see ya...wouldn't want to be ya when Lucan comes out here. *With that being said I haul ass outta there.*

Rafe and Aric Blow Off Some Steam

Rafe Malebranche

*It had been a hellishly long night out on Patrol and damn if I wasn't feeling it. Aric, on the other hand, seemed fresher than a daisy, even though we'd both been out and dealt with the same shit. I choked on a growl as I pulled the car into the garage and parked it. Aric and I both got out and headed in to the compound* What the hell was with those rogues tonight? Is it just me or did they seem more...... well, more?

Aric Chase *He couldn't help but grin at Rafe as his frowned deepened* I don't know bro, he almost had you for a second there. Are you getting old for this game? Do we need to set you up behind a desk somewhere like they did to our parents? Uncle Dante and my old man never see any action anymore. Is that what we need to do with you bro? * He grinned wider as Rafe turned on him with a lethal snarl*

Rafe Malebranche *My snarl turned into a deep growl as I slammed Aric against the elevator wall* Getting old am I? You wanna take on 6 rogues next time while I take on the 3 you had to deal with? *I pulled back as the elevator got us to the right floor. The last thing I needed was for either of our mothers to see me so pissed. I'd have been in for it then. I barely held my anger in check as we headed out of the elevator*

Aric Chase *he chuckled again* yeah yeah, you da man.* their boots echoed cadence down the long empty hallway. His mind spun as they walked shoulder to shoulder. Rafe was his best friend. The one who had been there for him literally since the day he had been born. He couldn't remember one moment in his memories that didn't include Rafe. He could feel the turmoil rolling off his best friend. The adrenaline was still thick in his blood as well. He wasn't about to leave Rafe alone in the condition he was in. Not now.* Yo, bro. I'm definitely still pumped from that last little skirmish *he snorts* I think I'm going to head to the training room, want to keep me company?

Rafe Malebranche *I nodded, still too jacked up to form any kind of coherent conversation. A full on fight with that many rogues usually didn't have this effect on me. As frustrated as I was, I was glad Aric was with me. He knew me better than anyone, probably even my parents and he was the only one who really got what I was going through. We got to the training room and headed into the locker room to change into sweats* I swear...... those damned rogues need to stay down.

Aric Chase *they shuffled down the hall, every once in a while he would pop off some crack and give Rafe a shove. By the time they walked through the doors the amber was gone from his eyes and the frown had subsided.* that one was really crazy. You had to drop him three times. He just would not give up! I was about to jump in but you finally finished off the other one so I figured I'd enjoy the show, maybe learn something. *he laughed and clapped Rafe on the shoulders* So, I ordered these a while back but they just came in finally. * he pulls out his newest acquisition. Holding it over his head he throws back his head and roars, picturing a vision of himself in his head, before grinning at his partner* what do you think bro, ready to go a few rounds against me?

Rafe Malebranche *I raised an eyebrow at Aric and laughed, feeling a bit more relaxed.* Damn Bro.... You really didn't just go there. *I picked one up and spun it around, getting a feel for it's weight and balance. Then, just as Aric was getting into his stance, I swung my staff over my head and aimed it at him, just to see what his reaction would be*

Aric Chase *he was mid chuckle when he heard the swing. He didn't think, he just ducked* Oh, like that, is it? Ok Lil Italy, it's on. Like donkey kong! * he grinned and circled, getting in a few hits here and there as well as taking a few.* Bring it, Bitch! *he burst out laughing right as Rafe swept his feet from under him* Oooffff

Rafe Malebranche *I chuckled and took a step back* Lil Italy eh? *I circled around as Aric got back on his feet* Well Harvard Jr., let's see what you're made of! *We exchanged a few more hits, Aric landing a few lucky shots. It's a good thing we were both Breed and could take the force of the hits.* Getting lucky there HJ....

Aric Chase *He snorts, breathing heavily* yeah yeah. It's all skill, bro. Nothing but pure skill. * he touched his finger to his tongue then to his chest, making a sizzling sound.* you know you want to be just like me. * with a grin he swung quickly and dove to land beside Rafe who now lay on his back* Oh yeah. * he taps Rafe on his stomach with the pole before gaining his feet to begin again* Need some help up?

Rafe Malebranche *I lay there for a second, feeling just a little stunned by having the wind knocked out of me, then chuckled as I stood* Sheer luck...... That's all you got Bro!!! *We took a few last swings at each other before putting the staffs away. I hadn't realized how much I needed to just relax and laugh. I nudged Aric as we headed towards the showers* Thanks Bro. *Aric and I grinned at each other, knowing nothing else needed to be said. We both showered quickly, getting dressed with the same speed and heading out towards our quarters*
