She had almost forgotten that she was there. She had been so caught up in being outside for the first time in a while.
"It's Astrid. You?" she asked, looking back at the woman.

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 offered the woman a hand to shake, still sober. "Iris. Would've been nice to meet you under different circumstances, but.." She trailed off, not bothering to make her tone light. She didn't really have a reason to. "Do you mind if I ask my questions now?" She asked, making an effort to not sound hopeful. She didn't need it, but would appreciate cooperation. At the very least it would give her something to bring to the table when she discussed the breech in security with the other officials. She needed to have a handle on things, and at the very least that is what she would get from this.

Asmosdeus Pack | Assassin-Cunning | Female | 18 | Single | Crushing on: OPEN | Location: | Tagged: Open

_____Shoulder blades rolling with each daintily placed step as she stalked low and stealthily between bushels and trees, Ketsiah narrowed her eyes as she came upon her target. It was still early in the day for her, she had managed to track down two of the three outcasts (NPC's) that were at risk of turning over to the government's control, keeping her tabs current of course, and after this, two of those three would be dead and out of commission. The hardest part for her, was knowing that these people were just like her, but it would only be until the moment the switch was flipped in their brain. It almost made them harder for her to kill.
_____The brute she had been following was taking the trash out from his shady apartment building- probably all he could afford working a part-time job, which she assumed didn't pay well. He was thin, but much taller than her, she wasn't aware of his wolf however. Sometimes a person's human size was a bit undermining compared to their wolf, unfortunately for Ketsiah, everyone was usually larger than her. It didn't make her any less lethal though. Ketsiah bounded around the corner, her flank grazing the concrete retaining wall of the corner she had cut tightly, before ducking into the alleyway and under the dumpster the brute was headed for.
_____Luckily for her, this outsider, in particular, was a bit on the short side when it came to intelligence. He wouldn't know a fox from a cat or small dog if it bit him in the jugular, which was exactly her plan. Ketsiah's tail flicked violently left and right as she watched his feet walk their way closer, she felt the vibration of impact above her as his trash landed in the dumpster, shooting out, and trying her hardest to make a loud thump into the waste receptacle just adjacent to the one she was under without hurting herself. The girl resisted a smile as she saw the brute turn around to see her small form crippled up on the broken pavement of the alleyway.
_____Ketsiah pinned her ears to her head and looked up at his human form with upturned brows and eyes the size of saucers. Timid. Afraid. Hurt. It was the perfect game and she was always the winner. As he took a few steps towards her, obviously trying to figure out what she was, Ketsiah scooted back, playing the scared animal, definitely not capable of human though. Eventually, he picked her up and looked at her, his thumbs under her armpits and the rest of his fingers latched around her ribcage. Sure, if he had known what she was, or who she was... she would have been considered stupid for putting herself in such a vulnerable position, he could end her with the squeeze of his hands likely. Ketsiah knew her stuff though, this guy didn't know a thing.
_____"Are you okay little... kitty?" he asked in an almost concerned voice. The girl felt bad, he seemed to actually care, but he was just a threat now to her pack, he couldn't be trusted. Without much warning at all, her soft, sandy-colored coat turned arctic white and her size alone shifted into a massive wolf nearly 20 times the size of her fox, pinning the man to the ground under her weight. He was really at a disadvantage, she worked fast, always used the element of surprise and he was too stupid to get out while he could. Not wanting to draw it out any longer than she had, Ketsiah's icy blue eyes looked ahead to make sure there would be no witnesses before her pearly white teeth clamped down on the tender flesh of his neck, collapsing his jugular and ending his life rather quickly.
_____Ketsiah's maw now stained with the dark crimson of her victim, the wolf sneezed, shaking her head, trying her hardest to get the taste from her mouth. The blood of her own kind was not one she enjoyed much at all. The white wolf walked over the body, bending down to take his shirt in her jaws so she could drag him off out of site, when she heard footsteps at the alley's entrance (OPEN). Ears flicking forward, the wolf turned to see the face that had caught her in the act, what she would do next would define the way the rest of her day went.
_____The young assassin couldn't just leave the body- she was always taught to clean up her mess... but the witness couldn't be let go either, it could lead to poor implications for her pack, or even give her away depending who had seen her. Dragging the body behind the dumpster, the wolf darted around the corner, after the spectator (Feel free to insert yourself here).

_____Two sets of 50, three sets, and then four. Vaereck worked through his morning routine in his small cell beside his bed. He couldn't lose sight of the goal he had of escaping- he knew it was probably impossible- but he couldn't just give up, could he? The brute was and always would be a survivalist. It wasn't about hope for him it was just about surviving the storm and making it out alive. Having fought for his sister's well being most of his life, and then fighting to keep his rage under control, there was never any downtime. Even more so now, that the government had gotten their hooks into him so deep, that even he couldn't fight his way out. Vaereck was still unsure of how the serum and chip had worked yet as he was yet to be field tested- to his knowledge.
_____He had only been taken a few weeks ago- Vaereck had entered his usual fight club line up at one of the bar's underground rings. Since his sister's murder, it was the only thing that kept him going- forget the pack, so he thought- he figured he was better off, even stronger without them. It was his lack of closeness with them however that got him into trouble. That night, he had taken out every opponent he was faced against, it wasn't hard to do, it was almost unfair. For as tall as he was, his weight and muscle mass, the others never really stood a chance. But he gave the government exactly what they wanted, a champion. At the end of the final round, Vaereck had stood victorious, catching his breath and blinking through the blood seeping out of a cut above his eye, but before he knew it, he was fading out.
_____It was like a light switch on dimmer mode. His vision pulsed in and out of focus, turning red, to clear, back to red, until everything went black. The brute woke up days later in a room he didn't recognise, with a job he now had no choice but to take. The pack he once protected and distanced himself from was now one he would surely be assigned to hunt. The brute rose from his abdominal work out and peeled his sweaty tank top off- tossing them in a small hamper near his cell door before he walked down the hallway to get new ones from the workers. That was one good bonus, no chores or laundry.

_____Being raised by two loners that had come together out of love, Emily had no idea of what a pack was, how they operated, or that the Alpha's had multiple forms. The young girl didn't even have the simple knowledge of alternate shifts as she had only just discovered her own wolf. Her parents had of course planned on teaching her the differences, but she was not yet old enough for it to be necessary or relevant. Emily's parents themselves hadn't even really used their alternate shifts, there was no need. For the most part, the family had been living like humans to stay out of the eye of the government, it was just safer that way, so they thought.
_____Having been crying for some time, Emily did hear the flittering of the bird'sings as it entered her home, but never did she think it was possible that the bird was a shapeshifter like her. When she heard the male voice down the hallway, her heart dropped. They're back, was all she could think. Leaning over, her hands pressed to the broken tile floor, glass cutting into her palms as she rotated enough to get to her feet. His footsteps neared, she quickly opened the cupboard she had just come from but to her dismay, she realized it would be all too obvious where she went due to the clear space she had been sitting and the pushed out, dismantled chair she cleared earlier.
_____Emily looked left and right, she considered the option of running, but she was only just a bit taller than three feet, she wouldn't make it far. The girl backed into the corner of the kitchen counters, her heart pounding so hard she could feel her body rock even when she felt she was standing still. That's when he came into her line of sight. She didn't know what the intruders from before looked like- what if he was one of them? Emily shook her head, unable to speak as more tears streaked her red cheeks. Shrinking back down to the floor, the girl crossed her arms protectively over her face, the blood from her hands dripping down her arms as she clenched her fists.
_____"Please don't kill me,"

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

She looked down at the woman's hand, and gingerly shook it because that is what people did. Even if they were enemies, technically.
"No," she said, speaking quieter. "We don't have to go inside yet, do we?" she asked, not really hopeful that they'd stay out longer, thinking that she'd make her go inside now. But she really wanted to stay outside. She never want to go back in the building ever again.

My burden is heavy, dear,
And my dreams are beyond my control,
Oh yes, they are.

Iris shook her head. "No, we don't. We won't go inside until we are done talking" she replied, seating herself at the base of a pine tree and gesturing for Astrid to do the same. "Did you speak to the man before he ran away?" She asked, deciding to start at the beginning. Or close to i5.

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Astrid sat down near the woman, but kept some space between them. She was relieved that they didn't have to go inside yet. She loved it out here.
"No. I didn't know him, and he didn't know me. I don't even know his name."

The small boy had been hiding out in the storage closet of the mansion, candy he had clearly found was all over his face. He peaked out of the closet glancing around the room his tawny hair sliding into his view. Sighing lightly he pushed it back before rubbing his black sweater sleeve across his face to relieve the essence of the chocolate from his fair toned skin. He wanted to go explore now with all this energy he had acquired. Glancing around once more making sure no one noticed him. He then took off out of the mansion and into the woods. Looking around laughing, happy to be anywhere where he wasn't being cooped up. He ran for a while through the brush, he didn't want to shift he was just running. His mind wondering as he went not knowing what he would find, not sure if he even cared. He slowed down to take in the forest, no matter how long he lived there he would never get over the beauty. Sighing glancing around the trees before his eyes rested on a female in the tree crying. He didn't care if she was cry he would just leave her here anyway. But something told him to go talk to her, so he did walking up to the tree."Hey you! Oi, Why are you up in a tree?" He questioned with a curious look on his face, did she live up in that tree. Why did she look so young? Was she alone? He had a million questions but not all will get answered and not all will even be asked. But he knew he had to find out why she was there.

She sighed noting that the cages were open as they usually are in the day time. Finally picking herself off of the floor she looked in the mirror frowning at the lack of curls she had. As she usually had really curly hair. She ran her fingers through her blonde hair before tying it up in a pony tail. Smoothing out her black tee-shirt before heading out of the gloomy area. and out to the light of the day. Shading her brown eyes with her hand, she didn't much care for the light but she loved it a lot better then the rain. She wondered what the other shifters were doing. Did they get sent on a mission without her? If they did should she be grateful, why was she jellious? Crossing her arms over her slender chest before continuing to walk. She guess she should be lucky that they let them get out and stretched their legs. Glancing around she noticed a boy running a muck. She arched an eyebrow watching him for a little bit impressed. She shook her head before walking over to him, so she could ask what he was doing."Hey kid, did you lose something?" She asked curiously, looking at his clothes now noticing that they didn't look the best. But she wasn't there to judge, maybe he liked dirty clothes. The longer she stood there looking the more she noticed her was neither little nor a slender boy. He had muscles, and long hair. She caught herself gocking at him and quickly looked away, blushing. Damn she hated the attractiveness of the male gender. She already had a crush, she knew she could look at anyone else, but there she was catching herself again staring at him. She took an annoyed breath narrowing her eyes at him so she didn't look like she was staring at him.

_____Hey kid, was mostly all Vaereck caught before he stopped dead in his tracks, rose a brow, and looked at the voice coming from the cell beside him. She was quite small compared to him, possibly younger too... he laughed lightly before facing the girl who addressed him. "I don't think anyone has called me 'kid,' since I was seven," he admitted honestly. "Not exactly a spring chicken- and I've always been a bit too bulky to be considered a child," he added, now thinking of it. The brute shook his head and sighed. "Yeah they don't give us enough clothes to go through before running out," he finally answered her gesturing to the wadded up shirts he had in his hand- though truthfully if he hadn't been working out as often he probably wouldn't have that problem.
_____"You must be not as new as me," he assumed, leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed over his chest. Vaereck was a burly man, quite tall at six feet, seven inches tall and 254 pounds. He wasn't all that scary though, he was mostly just a big teddy bear when he was casually speaking to others, especially women and children. It was his drinking problem before he was taken into the government's custody that often made him such an intolerable male... that and the serum and chip working against him. Definitely a weapon of mass destruction. Vaereck noticed the coloration in her cheeks and smirked, he hadn't even started flirting yet- though he was almost afraid to. If the government demanded it... he could kill her on the spot because they told him to, or even the reverse if they had him do nothing to protect himself. He couldn't deny it though, she was breathtakingly gorgeous- even in a prison cell.

Alikea wandered around aimlessly in his environment. He heard voices in the distant. He furrowed his brows and growled. Looking at his hands as he walked, Al imaged the pawpaws he so desired to feel instead of measly hands. He frowned and began to head home, he recognised his alpha in the distance but froze and frowned. He ducked behind shrubbery and looked, trying to figure out what was going on

Walking through the doors and outside, the smell of sweet dew and pine needle engulfed his sense of smell and me took in a deep breath, emerging himself in the scents and sounds of the area around him. Placing his thumb and forefinger on the bridge of his nose, Jack then irritably grunted and looked around. He spotted Iris in the distance as he walked out and he made his way towards her. Jackson had been inside for most of the day so he thought it to be best to talk to her and see what has happened.

Jackson recognised Astrid, a shifter, speaking to his second-in-command. He furrowed his brows and fiddled with his glasses that were strategically placed in the crook of his v-neck shirt, a leg on the inside so it can hang with ease for when they were needed by their wearer. As he approached the two women, Jackson looked to Iris "Iris, i'm sure you have good news for me." his tone was stern and subtle hinting of authority
