After a long soak in the river she found,she came out,dripping wet.'Ah..I'm all wet.'She said,thinking out loud.She sighed and lay facedown on the grass,thinking about life-something she did often."Boys confuse me....Life confuses me....Maybe I'm too childish...Maybe people would like me then...."She whispered to herself.She then stood up and frowned."Someone's close...."She walked into the forest again looking for someone or something she could sense.Each step she took made a squelching sound,every breath she took she could hear.It was quiet.
Too quiet.
She then heard voices,words being spoken softly.She knew the voice,but she couldn't remember who it belonged to.Xander,no he was back at the house.Carlisle and India,probably home too.Jun,he was still asleep when she left.Ashylana,that's her.There was only one more person she could think of and that was Winter.'Of course!Winter's normally up by now...But who's she speaking to?'Ashy thought to herself.Heading towards Winters's voice and staying in the shadows,Ashy neared closer.The voices were getting louder and she decided to get a birds eye view.So she climbed a tree and jumped from branch to branch,getting closer to Winter.Winter's brown hair came into the view but Ashy's vision was suddenly obscured by a large amount of black curls or something she calls her hair.Squeaking in surprise,she fell from the tree and landed on her back,only about 100 meters from Winter and her 'friend'.

xxxxShe awoke with a jolt, sitting up before the sun had kissed the horizon line. Her china blue irises adjusted to the darkness, loosely grasping her surroundings. The world was still dark, desolate, silent. Just the way she liked it. It couldn't have been later that five o'clock when India Harlow arose from her resting place, as quickly pulled herself together. A plain grey sweatshirt was pulled over the porcelain skin of her shoulders, and black, ripped skinny jeans covered her long smooth legs. Her soft ebony wisps were casually formed into a loose braid that cascaded down the right side of her face, slightly covering the girl's face, and her beat up black converse high tops were laced over her feet. India was careful not to wake the others dreaming blissfully inches from where she stood, as she silently made her way towards the exit and hastily made her escape.
xxxxIndia loved to be alone with her thought's. Only when she was truly alone, could she actually attempt to understand her emotions. It was on long walks like the one she was on now, where she could try to make sense of herself. She gazed upon her feet as they glided over the earth's surface, as she pondered her mere existence and all who affect it. Like, why did she have such a fascination for the hunter that killed many of her kind, Noah Hale? And why couldn't she stop herself from taking an interest in her mentor, Will Frey? And what about all the people she has barely met, but is forced to call them enemies? Why cant she befriend beings of other kinds? All these questions, and walks after walks, and the girl still couldn't get answers. She was hopelessly stranded, and no one was going to save her.Enough of the hypotheticals, where was she even walking to? Indie looked up from her thoughts to glance at her surroundings. The sun was just beginning to rise above the horizon, and it seemed as if she had made it deep within the forest that surrounding the vampire's hideout. Indie didn't care, as she continued to walk, knowing that she would stop whenever she arrived at her nonexistent destination.
xxxx India had returned to the house at around the time she assumed others were waking. No one really knew where she went in the infantile hours of the morning, and she preferred it to be so. No one had ever questioned her absence, and so she just assumed no one cared enough to ask. Indie sneaked her way back into the house, and quietly made her way up the stairs and into her room. There, she recomposed herself, and stepped out of her door once more. It was then that she was met with Carlisle, a guy she hadn't really ever built up the confidence to talk to. India assumed he would just pass by, but he addressed her, which left the girl taken aback. Still, she smoothly recovered and and nodded kindly. " Good morning, Carlisle, I am doing quite well actually." she chose her words carefully, trying to quickly but politely maneuver herself out of the exchange. it wasn't that she didn't want to talk to the guy, in fact, she was intrigued as to his advance, but she needed to find the healer, her mentor, and she needed to do so quickly. They always met each other as soon as possible, and India had almost forgotten to begin looking for him. "I truly wish to talk to you more, but I actually have to go find Will and address an important matter.." she felt horrible for saying so, knowing how rude she probably came off to be. "I know it is rude to do so, but maybe I can talk to you later? I'd actually like to know the story behind that necklace there. she gestured to the ornate piece hanging from his neck as she shut the door of her room behind her. Indie tried to best express her apologetic manner, before swiftly moving past the guy and gliding gracefully down the stairs. Why am i so bad at socializing? she cursed herself, embarrassed that she had to act in such a way. But it was true. She needed to find Will.
xxxxHastily, India rushed down the stairs and headed straight for the door. But in her hurry, she somehow seemed to miss the fact that Xander was standing still within the door frame, causing her to collide with his back and send both of them tumbling out the door and to the ground. Now you've really done it. she mocked herself as she kept her eyes closed. Did she really want to see the result for her stupidity? Well, she would have had to face it at some point, and, with caution, the girl opened her eyes and gazed down at the boy she had knocked down. Xander bryant. "Oh god.." India looked down in horror, seeing as the co leader of the clan slowly recovered from being practically tackled to the ground. Quickly, Indie jumped to her feet, and offered a small hand out to the boy for him to stand. "I'm so sorry. I was in a rush and i didnt see-" she stopped herself, and took a deep breath. "Sorry, do you need a hand?"

xxxxIt was often that Wesley was the first of the wolves to awaken from slumber. He simply functioned a less amount of sleep than the average being, and he assumed it was an advantage. With a yawn, the boy pulled on some black jeans and a black tee, his go-to outfit. He casually cascaded down the stair case of the quiet house and began to make a pot of coffee for his fellow pack members. He may naturally awaken earlier than others, but he truly didn't function until he has consumed his fair share of caffeine. This being said, he pulled out a mug from the overhead cabinet, and poured the freshly brewed drink into his cup. A small amount of milk was retrieved from the fridge, and his cup of coffee was complete. Without hesitation, the boy headed out the back door, and walked himself to the giant stump not too far from the pack's house. He had discovered the stump a few years back, and found that it had a particularly nice view of the small mountain range not too far away. It was there, that he enjoyed the view of the sun rising into the sky, and it was there that he often thought about the day to come.
xxxxThe delta didn't exactly have anything important to do today, which was a change from his usual schedule consisting of supervising the small groups within the pack and making sure that they function successfully. Than again, he didn't know if the hunters were planning on going out later, and if they were, he was sure that he could tag along. We had previously been a hunter, after all. The hunting itself wasn't the part he looked forward to, no, he just loved to run. He loved to run in his wolf form and have a purpose for it. Feeling the crisp air flow through his fur simply made him run faster, which is what made him such a great hunter in the first place. Of course, he would have challenged the current lead hunter for the position, but being the delta allowed him to have power and run from time to time, and he was content with that. Fighting for positions wasn't exactly a thing he liked to do, either. It made the pack members trust you *that* much less, and so Wes only reserved fighting within the pack for when it was extremely necessary. Wesley figured being tucked not too deep within the forest was an okay place to be, and so the boy relaxed his muscles and leaned against the dead bark of the stump. Besides, watching nature slowly wake from its slumber was a pretty fascinating thing to do, and a quiet time to think to himself was a rare occurrence.

The co-leader of the vampires was at the door for what seemed like an hour. However, it had only been about fifteen minutes, maybe not even that long. His eyes turned to see Shi eying a squirrel in the distance. Knowing that the canine wouldn't be chasing after the rodent without Xander letting him the vampire said "Go get him boy." Without hesitation Shi ran off and chased after the large squirrel, running deeper into the forest. Xander wasn't worried for the canine, even if he was in the woods without Xander. The dog was very bright and would be able to get himself out of trouble and find his way back on his own. Therefore, Xander stayed relaxed and kept his body still, not moving from the doorway. He was still wondering about Winter and where she had gone off too. Was she alright, and what about Ashylana? Where was she at the moment? Lord knows she can find herself some trouble if she looks hard enough. Xander closed his eyes for a moment and let all of the worry rush out of his head. He didn't want to be so worried right now, not when he had barely gotten any sleep. Besides, they were well trained fighters and would be able to get out of any trouble they come face to face with, or at least that's what he hoped. It wasn't until something came in contact with him that he opened his eyes, but it was too late.

Xander went tumbling down the stairs, another body falling with him. It was quite a painful fall, but nothing worse than what he has felt before. He put a hand to his head and let out an unhappy grumble before he looked over to see who was the cause of his fall. It was India, the healer apprentice, and a friend. He let out a sigh as he stayed on the ground for a moment, trying to regain his sense of balance. He looked up at the fellow vampire as she jumped up and apologized, giving him a hand. He took her hand and stood up, brushing himself off quickly. He then looked back at India with deep crimson eyes, his expression just like it always was, serious. Now, if the person who ran into him was someone he didn't know then he would be scolding the person in the matter of seconds. However, since he knew India, he calmed himself and said "Don't worry about it, i'm fine. Just, be careful." What was he wearing, a shirt with a bright red target on it? That was the second time he had been knocked to the ground today, and he really hoped that that was all. He crossed his arms for a moment and stayed silent, then began to wonder. Why was she in such a rush? "Speaking of being in a rush, where are you going anyways?"

xxxxIndia shook her head in contempt for herself. It was rare for her to be so unaware of others, what had gotten into her? India sighed and kicked a small pile of leaves resting on the ground. Indie felt she could tell Xander her feelings, especially since he already knew she wasn't exactly a social butterfly. "You know that Carlisle guy? He came up to me and started talking to me... a-and I kind of panicked and made up an excuse and ran the hell out of there." she admitted, immediately feeling the weight of her guilt lift from her subconsious mind." and then I guess i was so overwhelmed I ran into you?" she guessed, not even knowing how she could have missed him standing in the doorway. "But I guess I actually am looking for Will in a way, being that right now is about the time we meet up." she continued, looking towards the ground. She wasn't looking for pity from Xander, actually, she didn't know what she was looking for. Maybe understanding? She couldn't be sure, but she finally calmed herself down long enough to look up and make eye contact, connecting her china blue gaze to his crimson one.
xxxx "Hey, where's shi?" she finally questioned, wanting to go find Will, but at the same time, wanting to stay with Xander. On cue, the large canine galloped to his owner, a look of playful bliss within his canine gaze. Indie immediately dropped to her knees and held out her arms, letting the doberman come forward and allow her to embrace him. She casually scratched behind his ear and petted his thin coat, momentarily forgetting that Xander was standing a few feet away from her. Indie smiled softly, and immediately located the closest stick to her. "Wanna fetch, Shi?" she rang out in a light airy voice, grasping the stick, and hurling it into the dense forest. It was an impressive distance, even for her, and she was proud that she didn't weakly toss it like she normally would have. At first, the canine seemed to hesitate, glancing at Xander as if questioning him, who is this girl? should i go get that? but animal instincts must have taken over as the dog sprinted in the direction that the stick was thrown.
xxxxIndia straightened her legs and returned to standing, as she looked to the co-leader once more. "Have you seen Will yet today?" she questioned, doubting that he had. Will often woke early and stayed in the woods for quite some time, but it didn't hurt asking. As the doberman returned to where the two were standing, Indie took it as her cue to leave. " I guess i'll see you around.." she sighed, wishing she could stay, but knowing she had to find the healer. "Don't smile too much today," she teased the serious boy, as she turned her back to him and proceeded to dive deeper into the thick forest.

Brown eyes fluttered open, finally giving up resisting against the bright light the sun cast on them. The sun was eclipsed by the clouds on the chilly morning, but it was still enough to rouse the nineteen year old from her sleep. Nicoletta sighed and turned over, her legs brushing against the foreign feeling of something rough. This feeling was not the one the sheets on her bed gave her, this felt like sticks and stones and leaves burrowing into her skin. Her brows furrowed as she sat up slowly. She blinked quickly and rubbed the sleep from her eyes as they adjusted to her surroundings. Instead of being met with her light green walls and door, she was met by an endless expanse of trees and foliage. The werewolf growled and slapped her hands to her face in irritation once she realized what had happened. Again, her wolf had taken control during the night and made her leave the pack house. "As to thialo." Nic grumbled as she stood up groggily, brushing the debris off her legs.

This has been happening lately, on and off. This was her second year as a werewolf, and it hadn't happened in months so she figured she grew out of that stage. Becoming a were tore her resilience to pieces, especially in the beginning when she wasn't used to the itchy feeling underneath her skin when she needed to shift. Nicoletta took to it quickly. She possesses a strong will and valiance that usually overpower her wolf side, which she views as a separate entity. Lately it has been very restless which leaves her dumped in the forest in the early morning feeling like death. The girl got her bearings and finally rose to her feet as she peered around the forest. Her eyes narrowed in on a fork in the path which she recognized. Nicoletta sniffed the air and focused hard so she could track the pack house. Luckily, her wolf favors this spot so she left some extra clothes for future use. It would be a bit awkward if she had to walk home stark naked. Nic slipped on the cut off denim shorts and a long-sleeved t-shirt. It was a bit chilly, especially for a werewolf. She never quite gets used to the feeling of not having fur and the breeze on her bare skin.

Nicoletta rubbed her arms up and down once she finished and pursed her lips. She slipped as quietly as she could through the thick trees, each step carefully planned that would omit the least noise. The morning was still and tranquil, and ruining it with clunky footsteps seemed wrong. So she trekked gracefully through the paths, her nose twitching as she kept up with all the new scents that came her way. Everything seemed to be in order so she relaxed a bit, though kept her ears open and alert. Her mind drifted off to think about her predicament of changing against her will and her mouth screwed into a tight line. Nothing confused and worried her like this did - it simply didn't make sense to her. It was also extremely embarrassing to her as the beta female. She had a certain image to uphold and knew people already questioned her abilities since she had only just become a werewolf two years ago. This made her seem vulnerable and weak, and there is no greater insult than that to her.

Nicoletta spied the pack house looming ahead and sighed in relief. She stood among the trees, brown eyes carefully analyzing the pack house to see who was up and who was not. It appeared everyone was still asleep, so she decided not to go completely back and turned back around to venture into the woods. Her nose twitched as she caught scents in the air - the one that stuck out to her most, her alpha, Demetri. He must be up in the house somewhere because it seemed stronger than anyone else's. The werewolf was glad she had someone like Dem in her life. She could confide in him whenever and he was a fair alpha. The transition from human to were was overwhelming, but he eased her worries.

Nic cleared her mind as she walked through the woods, lightly brushing her fingers upon tree bark as she passed. The territory had to be maintained often because of the recent increase in supernatural creatures. They had werewolves, witches, and vampires, and their hunters. The werewolf hunters in this area weren't multiple, but they did exist, so the beta female kept her guard up. The thought of the hunters made her temper flare. They didn't understand they were part human, and deserved the right to live. Nicoletta has never killed before, but the hunters don't know that. All it would take is her name and her mannerisms for her to be taken down in an instant.

Noah closed his dark eyes and rested his head against the tree bark as he steadied himself, trying to get a feel for the forest. He had an almost super-human ability to sense the area around him without all the mess of being a werewolf or vampire. He placed his large, calloused palm against the dirt. His fingers, long and slim, the appendages of a piano player rather than a hunter, sunk into the softer mud of the river bank. His pulse thudded against his skin. A sound like that, though falling on deaf ears for him, would be like a dinner bell to vampires. At the thought of the monsters his brows knit together in anguish. Ever since that night three years ago, when the creature had murdered his parents and almost succeeded in killing him, it has been his optimal goal to wipe as many out as he can. The only time he'd stop was when he would draw his final breath, knowing there was absolutely nothing more he could do. This made him a rather annoying person to hunt with, as Noah puts his a ss on the line constantly with no consideration for his partner. He doesn't care whether he makes it out alive or dead, a cynical view from years of hardships.

Briefly, the thought of why he cared so strongly about his cause crossed his mind. His parents weren't exactly the best breed. His father was the route of his lonely childhood and when he was home from his work, spent it with a lot of mistresses. His poor mother knew of his infidelity, yet was always too timid and afraid to lose her husband to bring it up. She drowned her sorrows in a bottle of whiskey and slept day and night on that old sofa, the news absently humming in the background. Noah loved his mother, he did. But he recognized her crippling character flaw of being weak of will. He pitied his mother, which is something a young child should never do. They should view their parents as superheros; brave, smart, and setting a good example. His father was an even worse role model. The man didn't spare much of his attention to his son, besides a brief head rub or clap on the back. Though it disgusted him, the young Noah craved his affection and validation. He had to get it somewhere.

It was from bursts of loneliness Noah found his passion. He would disappear in the forest, woods, or desert (depending on where the military brat was living at that time) for hours upon hours, listening to the sounds and getting a feel of how to fend for himself. Most fascinating to him were the beautiful animals that resided in their habitats, all so new and exotic to the young boy. His chocolate colored eyes would widen and gleam under the sunlight as he watched them meander about, unaware of his presence. Or perhaps they sensed his pensiveness and deemed him safe to be around. That's what he liked to think, anyway.

The hours he spent in the wild let him grow accustomed to the typical sights and sounds and vibration. He felt along the ground a bit longer before sensing something definitely out of the ordinary. His dark eyes flashed open just as a confident voice called out to him with a smirking tone. He refrained from reacting too obviously and simply turned his head to see just who this stranger was. Noah looked across from him where a girl had approached - tall, dark haired, and hauntingly beautiful. Almost instantly he identified her as a vampire. He knew the typical signs which were being pale, seemingly flawless, and a sultry slur of words. Vamps were constructed to lure people in so they could feed. Any oblivious human would follow them out of the club so the creatures could feast. A slow smirk spread across his face, one that mimicked this girl's. Noah was certainly not afraid and would defend himself if necessary. Even so, he steadied his hand that was twirling his dagger and slowly tapped it against the soft earth. "Looks like I don't have much to fear, since you're here now." His tone was flirtatious, a natural instinct he couldn't bite back. It also made hunting way more fun for him.

The hunter, sensing a bit of disadvantage as he was sitting, rose to his feet and brushed off his denim jeans. He rose to his full height of six foot three and tilted his head ever so slightly as he continued to analyze the vampire. Nothing currently made her seem threatening. He wondered if she thought he was a simple human she could drink from then dump in the forest, dazed and confused at best if she didn't kill him. Noah kept the conversation going with,"Which raises the question...why are you out here alone? There's bears, you know." He mimicked her earlier statement with a slight smile and took a slight step forward. His eyes appeased her movements to make sure she wouldn't try anything. Once he figured out her motives, Noah would have to make the decision on whether to get rid of her or not. If she attacked, he wouldn't have a choice.

Will eyed the clan house for a spell, his dark blue eyes flitting from window to window to assess who was up. Many still had their curtains drawn so he assumed it was a late start for some. He decided he would not head back, since he could do with his thoughts for a few hours. He slipped his hands into the worn pockets of his black jeans and trekked on, kicking great clumps of wet leaves as he did. He picked up his whistle again, effectively blocking out every sound he probably should be listening to. As soon as he started picking up his pace he heard a shrill voice call his name over and over. He flinched at the sudden sound and quickly turned his head. A prickle of fear raced down his spine and all the hairs stood up on his neck. For a brief period he panicked and thought his old clan, the Freys, had finally found him. The white hot terror coursed through his veins from the unexpected trigger and he immediately fell into a stance to defend himself. However, as his eyes turned, they did not see his mother or other female clanmates, but Ashylana. His chest heaved as he registered the fact he was fine, and that his family was had still not located him. His face fell into his hands as he calmed himself. Anxiety was a horrible condition, especially post-trauma.

Will watched as Ashy bolted straight passed him and face-planted into a tree. He was still recovering from his shock, but still found the decency to ask if she was okay. However, as soon as she appeared, the wild girl was off and bolting back toward the clan home. The healer took a jagged breath and shook his head lightly. "Okay, Will, calm down. You're fine." He grumbled under his breath and forced his stiff legs to continue on. His legs ate up the ground quickly, as he was very tall and lanky. The vampire regulated his breathing until the panic finally subsided. He allowed the quiet forest to calm him as he closed his eyes and in took a long, refreshing breath.

As Will turned the corner he instantly collided with a thick slab of something. He tripped over his two feet and bowled into this thing - his senses had yet to recuperate - but managed to gain his footing before he fell and grabbed it with his two hands. His eyes flashed open to see what he had currently cradled in his hands. Before his eyes could adjust his nose inhaled sharply and immediately identified the scent as werewolf. Inwardly he groaned, Lovely, just lovely. Smash into your worst enemy why don't you? The vampire quickly let go as he looked at the werewolf, a girl about his age with long brown hair and eyes the color of the trees. Will stepped aside with a quick apology,"Jesus, I'm sorry. I was completely out of it." He made sure to distance himself if the wolf got mad. Hopefully she would accept it and move along instead of making a scene here.

Will eyed the girl with careful eyes. He couldn't help but find their species so interesting, despite the cultural differences and overall poor history. Weres and vamps haven't got along since the dark ages, always bickering about territories and prey. The rules were pretty standard here - you stay off our land, we'll stay of yours, but here's a middle ground. Will and this stranger were in the middle, neutral territory. This made it the most dangerous of them all, since hunters knew how to kill two birds with one storm. "Please - I, uh, I'm not looking for a fight." He held up his hands earnestly, blue eyes wide.

As he grumpily turned away from the seemingly empty kitchen he heard Demetri ask him how he slept. He paused, remembering the strange feeling he experienced when he woke up. "Could've slept better, but for the most part I was fine. Though everything seems a little odd this morning." he said trying to sound casual. To the wolf he figured it was either a bad dream he couldn't remember or just a little disorientation. After all the years he had been with the pack some days he still woke up not realizing where he was. As he glanced over at the alpha he paused, "Is everything all right?" he said noticing Demetri's discomfort. Thomas knew that with more and more hunters in the area along with the others that hid from them everyone was being extra... careful. Yet the observant fighter thought that there could've been more to the situation. He walked around and plopped down on the couch, absentmindedly running a hand through his hair.

Elnyn lifted an arm, stretching it across her upper-body to try and help the pain out of her bones. Shortly after finishing that stretch, she continued the same motion with her other arm. It felt good to stretch in this form, since it wasn't an option in her wolf form at this moment. The pain was still very well there, but she was managing the only way she knew how: by spending as much time as she could up and about. It was something she had grown accustomed to. It happened every other month or so, and very rarely any more than that, so it became part of her routine. It was nothing that she saw as a big deal. It was just life.

It was still quiet, and quite peaceful. This had always been the perfect time to come out. No other time of the day was as calming, in her opinion.

Suddenly, though, she was pulled from her thoughts when she heard the crack of twigs beneath someone's feet not too far away. A half a secound it took to sniff the air, she knew it was a male, and.. vampire? She wasn't sure of his intentions until he caught her, and himself, and stepped back. It happened all so fast and she didn't even have time to react. This wasn't like her, at all, she had fast reflexes. But she was already off her game, and dazing out into space didn't help matters, but made them worse.

El wasn't a fan of new people, in the slightest. But his hands were raised and he wasn't an immediate threat. This was, even if she hated to admit it, her fault for traveling this far out so carelessly. It wasn't either of their territory, so it was fair for them both to be out here. But that didn't mean they could agree with it, but whether she did or not, it didn't matter. She wouldn't be able to fight someone off right now, not like this.

She couldn't show weakness to anyone, but especially to someone she didn't know the intentions of. She did doubt that if his intentions were bad, that they would both he standing there, staring at each-other with their hands raised to show peace. When he had ran into her, her back must have twisted a certain way and it caused an increase in pain that she felt. But she tried to hold her breath steady, and her teeth unclenched to avoid any indications that something was wrong. Instead, she leaned forward only the slightest bit to ease the pain.

"I can't say that I'm looking for a fight, either." She spoke, her nose scrunching slightly as she tried to see if anyone else was with him. There wasn't, as far as she could smell. "We can move on from this without an issue, as long as you're more careful next time." The blame couldn't fully be his, though. It was a shock to herself how she couldn't smell him, or hear him before he got that close. Danger was around every corner, and while it wasn't a person she was happy to see, she was relieved it wasn't a hunter.

releasing a sigh demetri narrowed his eyes. examining the outside world from the window, with his mind playing nothing but tricks on him the alpha male grumbled at himself, cursing even, trying to get himself back in place the young man found it more impossible each time. not only that but in his dream it was a full moon, and of course, tonight of all nights was going to be a full moon rising among the werewolves, meaning that the werewolves within his pack that couldn't control their change meaning accidental injuries of some sort. regaining his gaze back to thomas he nodded at his words, hearing him say about it being a little bit odd this morning demetri tilted his head curiously, wondering if it was a dream or just something to do with the scenery of this specific morning. "i am sorry to hear that, however i myself can't disagree with you on that one," demetri trailed off. standing in silence once more, a considerate question from his fellow fighter caught his attention even more, however the alpha male didn't know whether to say or not since he didn't want make others worry of a stupid dream or vision, shaking his head briefly demetri knew lying was out of the question. "i don't know thomas, i had a dream this morning but it felt so real or as a warning of some sort. illusions have been emerging from nowhere it's like i'm being tricked, and tonight's a full moon, in my dream it was a full moon and of course we all know some of my members can't control themselves. either way i don't know if i'm overthinking it or if something bad will happen," the alpha explained, a glint of worry shone within his eyes. thinking more into it demetri worried of the vampires, of course the young man himself didn't care much for the blood suckers but some of them weren't bad like his father though. although luckily for demetri's sake he could control his wolf, as for the others the alpha grew more and more confused with his mind, if anything it was like solving a puzzle, trying to fit the right pieces together but with each move a mistake was made.

examining the wide spacious halls he huffed. being with other vampires was a bore for him at times, considering carlisle was the type of vampire who'd cause trouble or take what he wants without hesitation, although that all leads back to his past life with his family. snapping back into reality he looked at the girl before him, listening to her answer towards his question the fighter smiled politely at her, of course not many people would be the first to approach him considering carlisle was harsh man at heart but like any other, he too cared about others until he experienced the feeling of betrayal. "i'm glad to hear that, india," carlisle replied kindly. once the sound of voices laid to rest the fighter sighed, still having an appetite for fresh blood from an animal he waited patiently, normally carlisle wouldn't have cared about the girl and left before she could even speak but of course, his interests in conversations were always ignited some place else. when the lingering silence broke with her voice he nodded at her words, even though he only got to speak with her momentarily carlisle was more than happy to excuse her, after all being the healer's apprentice Will would've needed her more than he did. 'oh it's rather fine, i'm sure mentor is awaiting you," carlisle said politely. releasing a small sigh the fighter straightened his posture, his voice might have came off calm but carlisle was somewhat disappointed in their conversations, shrugging his shoulders the fighter chuckled at her words about wanting to know the story of his necklace, tilting his head at india he gave the girl a small smile before replying to her speech of wanting to talk later. "no, you don't sound rude at all, plus i am hungry so i wouldn't mind speaking later. and as for necklace, well it'd be my pleasure to tell you the story. however that is until next time," carlisle replied kindly as she walked away. going his own way the fighter huffed, he was surprised that something actually wanted to know the story of his tribal like necklace, although it was an interesting legend so carlisle didn't complain especially if it meant sharing something he'd always loved to tell. running his right hand through his hair briefly the fighter huffed, with his appetite growing stronger each minute he cursed to himself, pacing around the house like a helpless puppy carlisle soon felt his body bump into another, just as he was about to rage out the fighter saw that it was a keeper named remi. clearing his throat carlisle caught his balance once more, standing in a proper manner he knew it was on him to apologize, after all carlisle himself wasn't paying attention to where he was going but he knew that it was his fault. "i do apologize remi, i should've been watching where i was going," carlisle said politely.

Thomas took a minute to desperately try and recall if he had a dream or not, yet the images wouldn't come to him. It slightly worried him that Demetri was off put by his dream, but wouldn't say so hoping that it truly was only a dream. He bit his lip as he thought, trying to conjure up a reason for anything to be wrong. The optimist just didn't have it in him to think negatively. "I am sure that everything will be alright," he said more for his own sake than Demetri's, "Besides, even though it is a full moon and most of us, including me, lose it a little bit I am sure we will be well defended. Even hunters know that werewolves are dangerous on a full moon night. So I am not too sure if they would be seeking us and putting themselves in so much danger. Unless you think otherwise?" he began to try and rationally think things through. So if it isn't them that would leave the vampires or witches. Thomas didn't want to get the alpha too worked up about something that may not even happen, but he wanted to be as wary and prepared as possible. Thomas knew that his major weakness was control, and he hoped that Demetri wasn't just worried about him. Tonight seemed like the worst night to have a full moon. Everything just seemed increasingly ominous.

The co-leader of the vampires waited patiently for the vampires reply. In the meantime he was busy looking at her eyes, finding them quite beautiful and interesting as well. He was able to make it seem like he was just waiting for her reply so the situation didn't get weird for both of them. She finally gave a reply, though he wasn't fully understanding why she would run from him. He shook his head in amusement and even cracked a small smile, saying "I don' think you need to be afraid of Carlisle. He isn't a bad guy. But hey, think what you want, i won't stop you from doing that." Of course it did make sense that she ran into him now. At least she had a good reason for running into him. Ashylana, well, he wasn't too sure what was running through her head when she ran into him. He was brought out of his thoughts when he heard her say that she was looking for Will. He looked around himself as if he was expecting to find Will just around the corner, but he didn't. He wasn't actually sure where Will went, he hadn't even seen him earlier this morning.

Xander was asked where Shi was, so he replied with "He went to chase a squirrel." He then whistled for the dog to return. Shi was there in the matter of seconds, i guess he didn't venture too far. The squirrel probably was chased up a tree or something. Xander watched as India began playing with Shi, throwing a stick for him as if he was a big puppy. Of course, Shi was a puppy by heart. He may be able to attack in a given moment, but around Xander, and apparently India, he was just like a normal young dog would be. Xander watched Shi as he hesitated to follow the stick, Xander giving him a slight nod that was barely noticeable. Without waiting for any other command Shi ran straight towards the stick. While Shi was fetching the stick, Xander looked back towards India and said "Nope. He must be out." Way to point out the obvious Xander. He watched Shi return with the stick, sitting right by his owner. As soon as the canine returned, India spoke up and announced her leaving. He nodded gently to her and said "I'll try my best. Don't get yourself in any trouble. There are more than a few dangers in these woods." he then watched as India left his sights, leaving Xander alone with his doberman. He looked down at the canine and said "Well, looks like there isn't anything better to do than take a walk." The co-leader went back up the stairs and closed the door, then he walked back down and into the forest, wondering who else he would come in contact with today.

Xander was in the middle of a walk when he sensed someone near him. He stopped, Shi perking his ears up to show he heard someone as well. The vampire made his way towards the scent, eventually coming in contact with what more than a werewolf. It was obvious to tell by the stench. He mentally grunted as he was not in the mood to deal with anyone other than a vampire today. I guess he could be thankful that it was only a werewolf and not a hunter, but still. Xander leaned against the tree to his right and spoke out, letting the werewolf know he was there, that is if he hadn't already sensed him as well. "Since when do wolves stray from their pack?"
