_____Losing her interest in the chase of a non-issue, Ketsiah's head tilted up to the skies as she heard a call. A meeting is starting, she thought in silence. Knowing her wolf would carry her much further than her small fennec fox paws ever could, the fae leaped over some shrubs passed the treeline. The fae had shifted in mid-air so that her paws touched the earth as she sped off into the forest. Ketsiah was small for a wolf- or agile rather, she was fast and cunning, usually taking a very skillful and planned out route to her success in most fights. Being small also made her quite fast.
_____Reaching the Asmodeus mansion, the girl shifted, tossing her blonde hair over her shoulder and straightening out her outfit before heading inside. Voices carried from the dining room, bringing her further inside, Ketsy was relieved she hadn't much-missed anything. Looking around in what seemed like a 'less than half-empty,' room, the girl's eyes fell on one of her packmates that was her own age, Parlando. She was often careful talking to him, she didn't know much about him because of that, but she also didn't want to step on the Alpha's toes.
_____"Hey there stranger," the assassin lulled with a velvety finish as she leaned into him with a nudge of her elbow. The fae often stood with her arms crossed over her torso, it was the most comfortable position for someone with so many walls up to protect themselves. "Know what this is all about?" she asked, looking at him with a bit of an upturned brow.

_____"Oh nonsense- I bet I could handle you, and all of your crazy," he chuckled, his smile turning more to a smirk. His joking attitude quickly shifted though as she shoved a bow into his possession. "W-well alrighty then," he nodded, a bit shocked she was such a spitfire. Most girls got all nervous around someone as tall and large as he was, but he definitely admired her courage and holding her own, even if just in small conversation. "I'm a bit rusty... and I'm much better at uh- moving targets," he tried to excuse whatever poor shot he was about to release. It was an oddly true statement- the brute wasn't so great at spending time on a still target, he would over think it and not rely on instincts, whereas moving targets were fast and there was no room to overthink the process.
_____Vaereck didn't find anything odd about what they were doing- other than being in such a large open area that is. Maybe it was because he was new here and didn't really think he would be given so much freedom. The brute lined his shot up for one of the stuffed targets and retracted his right arm as his fingers gently held the arrow in its place. Exhaling a breath, Vaereck released the arrow, the arrow's shaft a bit wobbly from the increased velocity upon release. It was a hard stick, audibly penetrating the target and into the post that it was propped on, just about eight inches shy of where he had been aiming for. "Told you so," he laughed. "Right, then let's see you do it- show me what I've done wrong," he shrugged, handing it over.

_____"Oh, okay-" she mumbled with a nod, handing her backpack over. Emily sniffled a bit as the air hit her lungs, she hadn't been used to the freshness of the air since she had been in a cupboard all day, but she pushed on, not wanting to be difficult. Instinctually, Emily reached for Gavottes hand, she never left the house with her parents without a hand- she was 'too small to be seen by cars,' they would tell her. Taking his hand with her small, wrapped one, she stepped over the broken glass and followed him the way he lead her.

She heard him talk about how he could handle her crazy, but he didn't know her crazy. She just let it slide, she wasn't going to correct him. Just chuckled a little bit. She glanced at him as he said he was rusty. Rolling her eyes thinking he couldn't be that bad."A bit rusty?" She questioned with a small chuckle, she thought he would know more of these bows. She knew them well, she was doing this all her life. Someone wise once told her, "You must learn something different, some different way to do thing. There will come a time where you will not be able to be the wolf you are." She didn't know what it meant but she took up bow hunting. She found out later that the wise man got killed after
they binded them so they weren't able to shift. So she trained for years.
But she knew she couldn't let him she what she really could do, she merely just wanted one arrow to find its target. She took the bow from him after his shooting, only getting into the post. Which this caused her to giggle a little bit. "You weren't kidding." She giggled notching an arrow but not pulling it up. "You were actually pretty close only needed the elbow to be higher up." She stated softly as she pulled the bow string back with her left hand, the notched arrow almost touching her cheek. Taking a deep breath now before letting go of the string, the arrow sailing straight into the targets chest. She didn't smile, didn't show emotion as she grabbed another arrow lining it up rather quickly and letting it fly through the air hitting the shoulder this time. She threw the bow down. She becomes to hyper focused with it if she doesn't flashbacks would start if shes not careful. She looked up at him forgetting she was alone for a minute, taking in a small breath before laughing. "I'm sorry." Was all she could manage, furrowing her eyebrows with a smile. A confusing look really to anyone looking at her.

GAVOTTE TENUTO

Alpha Male ♫ 37 ♫ Peaceful Nature
Tagged: Emily, Jennifer

Gavotte put on the child's backpack, which fortunately fit around his narrow shoulders. It wasn't often that his small size came in handy. He gently took Emily's tiny outstretched hand and led her down the eerily quiet streets, into the fields from where he came. Gavotte tried to walk as fast as his small companion would allow him, but no faster. He didn't want to drive the poor child into exhaustion or panic. The grass around them was tall enough for her to get lost, if she let go of his hand and sat down to rest.
Once they reached the Forest of Asmodeus, which he knew like the back of his hand, he realized it was surprisingly quiet. Not the deathly quiet of Emily's home, though. The sounds of the forest were still present. The other pack members had probably gathered at the dining hall already. Soon, Gavotte reached the house too, with the child in tow. The door was already open and he entered to find many packmates already standing around.
"This is where I live. Even though most of these people aren't related, they are all my family," Gavotte explained to Emily in a soft voice. He would announce her arrival to the pack at the meeting, so they would understand better. "They're gathered here because a meeting is starting soon. There are a few kids your age I think you could get along with- you can go and meet people if you'd like. If anyone asks questions, tell them you're here with me."
He spotted his wife already waiting in the dining room, and approached her with a calm demeanor. His irritation from earlier had simmered down quite a bit now that they were out of that horrid bloody place. "I'm back now. Let me know when we're ready to start the meeting."

PARLANDO TENUTO

Alpha Heir ♫ 18 ♫ Calm Nature
Tagged: Ketsiah

Parlando let out a soft chuckle as one of his packmates addressed him as 'stranger'. He wasn't used to such terms around here, being the Alpha's Heir and all. Something about it was kind of refreshing. Much better than being, heavens forbid, a celebrity or something along those lines.
She was one of the assassins, so she was Lawrence's colleague. Parlando recognized her as Ketsiah, one of the most intelligent assassins. He didn't know much else about her though. Only her name and reputation, as she was his packmate after all.
"Hey," He said with a welcoming smile. "You want to know? Lawrence caught a traitor this morning and we brought him in. This is probably about that guy. Unless you were out, you probably heard the screaming."
His smile fell a little, thinking of his mother's brutal methods. His typical good-natured expression quickly returned, though, since he didn't want to draw attention to his concerns. Especially not right now.

SHE HAS BEEN THROUGH HELL.
SO BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY,
FEAR HER WHEN SHE LOOKS INTO THE FIRE AND SMILES.

Even when Jen was sure the entire pack was within the large space, she didn't join them. Not yet. She still watched from the short ways away, positioning herself at an angle to allow for a better view on her two focal points. Only turning her back for a split second before his voice severed her attention away from the bustling crowd. She sighed, rolling her shoulders back. Walking up to him and pressing an abrupt kiss on his lips. Her silent apology for the outburst she'd had earlier. Words weren't needed. She veered away from him & into the dining room. Standing before her pack, she didn't take a seat. "Everyone quiet!" the Alphess demanded in a stern tone of voice. She spoke like this consistently, maintaining the no bull attitude. "A traitor was brought to me this morning by Lawrence. I won't waste time with exact details, but he's provided me with some valuable information. We already know the Officials operation is underway, & they're actively searching for us. But, I've retained that the Shifters were injected with a serum. It caused them to go nuts at the time, I'd expect for that to only have been the beginning. The traitor did the job for cash, & it sounds as if he was injected in the Slums, just outside the city." Jennifer delivered the information without blinking an eye, blunt as always. Per usual she decided to leave the gruesome details to their own imaginations. They only got to know what was important. "I want everyone on consistent high alert, if you see absolutely anything, you're to immediately inform either Gavotte or me. As always." The female crossed her arms over her chest, "and extra training is still encouraged." Eyeing Gavotte out of the corner of her eye, she signaled nonverbally that if there was anything he had to add, this was the time. Not that there had been much else to say, Jennifer had pretty much covered everything. The only thing that could truly be added was whether or not anyone had any questions, but she'd doubted it. Nobody was going to ask what happened to him because they'd already known. Her words were clear-cut too.

███░░░x( 🗡 ) ━ ＬＡＷＲＥＮＣＥx░░░███

THE MOST DANGEROUS WOMAN OF ALL
IS THE ONE WHO REFUSES TO RELY ON YOUR SWORD TO SAVE HER
BECAUSE SHE CARRIES HER OWN.

Lawrence shook her head, even if he hadn't answered her question, there was no real point in poking at it. Jen wanted them in the mansion, & they'd caught the runaway, that was what mattered. She'd just have to watch her back a bit more than she already had when she was out sneaking around. Turning away from Alikea dismissively, she went ahead & shoved the door open, peering over her shoulder to see Jen had already taken off. Lawrence assumed she was leaving to collect the rest of the pack, as she was the first person in the meeting room. Leaning against the wall off in the corner. She could've seated herself, but usually just stood off to the side. She could avoid socializing that way. Well, unless she went ahead & joined Parlando if he wasn't called up to stand with the rest of his family. She watched & listened as the door opened & shut, along with shuffling feet & boisterous voices. Her fleeting gaze stopped, locking on the heir's face. She debated joining him until a familiar face, a member of the assassins, went ahead & took up the space next to him. Lawrence rolled her eyes & turned away.

She listened as Jen spoke attentively, the information encrypting itself in her brain. It wasn't much, she had to admit, but it was something. Better than nothing, she supposed. Then, when her speech was done, the whole room was silent. She looked to the Alpha, curious if he had anything to say.

Jackson couldn't help but laugh at the woman. He barely took her stern nature seriously and he huffed irritably. Jack furrowed his brows at the woman and scowled. He knew she was next in line of this work after him, but this was still his creation. As he liked over his shoulder back at Astrid he huffed and looked at her, the fear and pain installed in her eyes, yet she dared to not show it to those around her. Jackson slowly and subtly nodded and motioned for the pup to be dismissed, turning back to Iris his expression held no emotion. No anger nor remorse, he continued on with business and brushed past the woman words, almost as if not taking them into consideration, but of course he was mentally

"Come with me and we will question this obviously, now fired, man." Jackson motioned to the offical that Astrid had told Jackson had shot her, then looking back to Iris he huffed

As the shifter turned away from him, Alikea. He strolled around inside and to the rest of his pack. He stood by the fellow shifters but kept to himself. The male warrior grunted and crossed his arms over his broad chest and looked to the alphas. He listened intently but looked slightly to the side of them. His mind wandered off and he thought of the other traitors and shifters that must be trapped in their facilities. He rubbed the back of his neck, holding his hand there for a moment as he was deep in thought.

Iris-Official
Dear Landlord
Please don't put a price on my soul.
My burden is heavy, dear,
And my dreams are beyond my control,
Oh yes, they are.

Iris just got more irritated when he laughed, and brushed her words off. She didn't sign up to deal with him being a prick. "I'm sure you'll be laughing when the captain goes down with the ship" She said, her tone passive before shaking her head. "I've got better things to do. You go right ahead" she mumbled, turning and following Astrid out of the hallway. She didn't, really. But her list of priorities was entirely different from Jackson's, and she had no intentions to change it anytime soon. She was damage control, not the damage itself.

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Astrid was glad to be able to leave. She couldn't stand one more minute being near Jackson. She didn't understand, though, why the official who had done her shot would be fired. What had he done? Shouldn't they be going after the one who had been supposed to be doing the shot of the shifter who had escaped? Unless it was the same person. In any case, it wasn't Astrid's problem. She glanced at the woman before leaving, walking down the hallway away from the officials. She heard footsteps and sensed that someone was following her. She glanced back, and saw that it was the woman. Astrid self-consciously continued to walk, feeling uncomfortable with being followed.

Jackson scoffed as the woman left, following the pup. He sighed and looked at the official Astrid had made Jackson aware of. Jackson motioned to the official for him to follow the Elite. The male complied silently and followed jackson, the Elite led the official into his office, opening and shutting the door behind the man. Jackson looked to the man and raised a brow "What do you know of todays events."

After a long talk with the man, Jackson had as much information as he did to begin with. Nothing. The official had known nothing of the escape and was knocked out before he could see or know anything. Jackson huffed and dismissed the official, the threat of being fired was merely a tactic, Jackson never intended to lose and offical and a pup in one day. Stepping out of his office a moment later, Jackson sighed and pulled his glasses from the V in his shirt and put them on, running a hand over his head, the slender fingers running through his sleeked black hair. He needed a new tactic to find answers

☞HAYDEN could only muster a grunt of understanding as Arden admitted to needing her own escape as well; the feisty fighter knew that feeling all too well as she'd become increasingly overwhelmed and desperate in the past few weeks. Losing her housemate had certainly taken its toll, though she put forth a valiant effort in terms of hiding the effects that lingered. This time the blush that surged across the delta's cheeks was unmistakeable and a flame of satisfaction swelled in the taller young woman's stomach, only serving to embolden her as she doubled down on her efforts. "I'd expect nothing less than your best." she quipped easily, a charming smile exposing her set of white teeth along with a single dimple and well worn creases along the corners of her eyes that spoke to her typically easygoing and happy demeanor. "Were you thinking hand to hand or weapons?" she mused thoughtfully, knowing that she would have no qualms meeting Arden in the ring with nothing but their hands between them. Hayden kept her strides long and graceful though she remained ever vigilant of the obvious disparity in their heights, ensuring that she never got too far ahead of Arden. At the raven-haired woman's next words, the smile faltered on pale lips, knowing all too well what the delta was referring to. "I suppose we'll have to address it eventually so we may as well rip the bandaid right off." she grunted with a helpless shrug. As they neared the last few yards towards the front steps of the mighty house, the redhead bounded forward to open the door for her companion, ushering the shorter woman in as quietly as possible as she could already make out the beginning of Jen's speech. The experienced warrior kept to the back of the group, not wanting to further disturb the atmosphere as a large hand reached out to feel for Arden.

☞KELLAN had made it a point to wander aimlessly about his new prison for the foreseeable future, his dark eyes sharp and inquisitive as he strode through the large and fairly empty halls with nothing but the company of his boots falling against concrete. Interestingly enough, the young man felt fairly at ease despite his current predicament, his calloused left hand grasped loosely around his right wrist as both hands fell deftly against his lower abdomen with every step. From what he could tell, there weren't too many like him quite yet and he could only presume that meant he was one of the first trials. Standing tall and broad, he cut an intimidating figure as he loomed through the murky shadows of the facility.

Arden smiled gently at Hayden's kind comment, and replied without hesitation in her voice.
"As it should be," she cheekily mused, her grin never faltering as she tried to keep up with
Hayden's long strides to the mansion. At her next inquiry towards the freckled young woman,
Arden smiled to herself and raised her chin in a pondering manner. As her brown eyes trailed
back onto the redhead beside her, she answered. "Definitely hand to hand. I never fight any
other way," she explained. Arden normally reserved her usual weapons for long distance atta
cks. Unable to utter a thank you for the door that was held for her, she was promptly pushed
into the room, her alpha coming into view as she leaned against the wall to listen in on what
she had to say. Swallowing thickly as Jennifer bore the news, she felt a hand brush her forea
rm, no doubt it was Hayden's. Surprised by the sudden contact, goosebumps raised on her ski
n as she flinched slightly, the familiar burn of embarrassment flooding across her cheeks.
