"Mhm! Prince Vinny, and the lovely Princess Noelle." Noelle insisted, giving a small giggle when he called her princess. She seemed to think they were in some sort of fairytale. Of course, Vincent was the prince who saved her from her drunkenness. Without him helping her, she might've rolled off the dock. That wouldn't be pleasant to wake up to- if she managed to wake up from that. At the question, she nodded her head with a small pout. "My prince is leaving so soon?" She murmured in a sad tone, resting her green eyes on Vincent's face. She knew if he set her down, she might stumble a bit, but her room wasn't too far from the front entrance of the cabin. Her drunkenness was beginning to wear off, and the massive headache was approaching like a storm. "Thank you for rescuing me, Prince Vinny." She crooned, placing a kiss on his cheek for his noble efforts. "Perhaps we will meet again." She added, giving a small nod.

Thomas nodded, seeming relieved to hear that Skylar was alright. He gave a chuckle when Skylar called his brownies a hit. He didn't make them from scratch so he couldn't take much pride in them. Anyone could make brownies that came from a box. Though, he would one day have to make them from scratch. He knew a great recipe for brownies too. He lifted his brows as he listened to Gwen's comment, amused by her accent and her words. "Want me to be cocky then? I don't see what's wrong with using rather." He mused, pausing when the girl began to choke. Thankfully, she managed not to choke completely on the delicious brownie.

A match made in heaven, he thought laughing mentally to himself. “Alas, I must take my leave.” He responded, meeting her eyes as he did so. Vince was taken a bit by surprise when she kissed his cheek, though he simply smiled at her. “It was my honor, Princess Noelle.” He responded, giving her a cheeky wink. After a moment he carefully lowered her to the ground, making sure to keep a light grip on her in case she stumbled. He didn't want her falling off the porch, and in her state almost anything could happen unfortunately. “Be sure to drink lots of water, you don't want to get a hang over.” Vince said, his voice taking on a slightly less playful tone than it had before. “I'm sure we will.” Flashing another charming smile he took her hand in his and raised it to his lips, giving it a light kiss, keeping the little fairytale theme they had going on. As he released her hand he awaited her entrance into the house before he would take his leave, wanting to be positive she'd get in there safe and sound as long as he was around.

Felix found himself wandering back towards the lakes shore. It had gotten dark and the moon had made its way into the sky, giving the area a whole new appearance. The place was quite relaxing and beautiful when there weren't a bunch of drunken werewolves trying to duke it out. He grinned slightly at the memory of the two women fighting over some guy. That guy's going to have his hands full with that one. He had nothing against spirited girls however, don't get him wrong, he just found the whole situation to be quite amusing. The sound of approaching foot steps alerted him of someones' presence. They were most likely coming down the path from the cabin judging by their apparent origin. Turning to meet them he was pleasantly surprised to see it was Skylar. “What's up Skylar.” He greeted, allowing a genuine smile to form on his lips. Felix waited quietly as she seemed to be searching for her voice, his eyes meeting hers' in the pale moonlight. Both of them seemed to be shadows in the night the only light source coming from the moon and the occasional passing firefly. His eyes had begun to adjust fairly well to the dim lighting being aided by his wolf. As Skylar mentioned having a place to stay he was reminded of the encounter he'd had with the motel manager and wondered if they really did still have a place to stay. They should since he'd paid for the room in the end. “Yeah, we've got a place to stay. “ He guess she'd already guess where being as they'd met in the hotels parking lot. It was sweet of her to worry, not to mention want to say god-bye. He didn't think he'd be leaving the lake anytime soon however and didn't want to say it until they did end up parting ways. ”I'll be around, we're not planning on going anywhere anytime soon.” Felix responded, raising a hand to rub the back of his neck. “We've got to make some money and stuff you know.” He grinned, his eyes glinting with laughter in the moonlight.

Zane was reluctant, but he knew that eventually he would've had to place her back on her feet. He nodded, and carefully lowered her to the ground to where she was balanced on both legs. He looked immediately to the wall, curiosity burning in his mind about who all the different, unfamiliar faces were. Things about this fae were beginning to pile up. The scar, the aloof personality, the pictures... why was she so reserved? So secretive? He didn't want to break his gaze from all the pictures, there was no way that he had viewed all of them in that short amount of time, but he looked to Juliana anyways. "I don't recognize any of them," he pointed out. He figured it was the simplest thing to say. He didn't want to pressure her to speak, he knew about having demons that you thought nobody could understand.

"you wouldn't. It's my old pack. From before I moved here," Juliana said simply as he placed her down, pressing a hand to the wall to steady herself before moving p the hallway and turning the lights on, sighing. So secretive was her past. So hurtful were those secrets. She needed to tell someone. Why not tell Zane? Straightening herself up a little she moved towards the small table in the kitchen, sitting down slowly, unable to keep the painful expression from her face. Steel grey eyes looked up at Zane and she swallowed heavily, dipping her head, "This has not always ben my pack. Or my homeland. My parents were the alpha male and female of our pack back in Europe. I was their first child. My father trained me to possibly follow in his foot steps so to speak. I could have asked for nothing more of my life. A loving family, beautiful and kind friends and those who looked out for me. It was perfect," Juliana explained, motioning to the many photo's on the wall, "but sometimes, not everything is what is seems. There was a deep resentment for my father amongst neighbouring packs. A hatred that was passed down from a father to son. I didn't know it, but my best friend, the one I shared everything with, was out for my father's head. Just like that. Gone. Everything. Friends, family, neighbours. Burnt out as his pack burned down everything we had. Literally. My home was in ashes when I returned to it. We were caught, trialled for treachery of some kind. the boy I thought was my friend, the boy over time I had grown to love deeply with my heart? I was wrong in thinking he would stand up for me. I did not recognise him. In that moment, his eyes black with pure and unquenchable hate he just looked straight through me and...well," she stopped, looking down at her hands which shook. it was hard to tell if it was rage, pain, shock or a mixture of all three that were still so fresh in her mind. breathing in and out deeply to calm herself Juliana turned her back to Zane, moving her hair out of the way, her scar vivid now in the light. It was an awful thing that stretched from her shoulder all the way to her tail bone, deep and still ragged and pink around the edges, marring just how deep it went. Such a scar, something like that was inflicted intentionally on a person with every intent of causing as much pain as possible. Finding her voice again Juliana spoke quietly, a bitter tone to her normally sweet voice, "he ordered this to act as a permanent remind of what I was to him. 'Because you are a scar where you ripped apart my heart, I will give you a scar to remember me by as well. A scar that will cut so deep, it will remain until the end of your pitiful existence.' That is what he told me. After that I blacked out. when I woke I felt as though I were on fire. Cradled in my mothers arms, my small and now broken family were on a plane, leaving the country. We never looked back," Juliana finished, sighing deeply. The words cut deep and the truth about her past, once she had spoke a few words just came spilling out. She was not able to keep it in. She wasn't even sure if she was speaking slow enough for zane to understand her. so after a while she just stopped talking, looking down at her hands in shame, eyes closed. She was a strong individual but tears slipped from her eyes. That was why she trusted no one. loved no one. for she had trusted and loved before and then literally been scared by the experience. her whole pack were gone or had become dead to her by joining those whom had burned down their home. She glanced across at zane, tear filled eyes almost begging, "zane. No matter what she does, or how far she goes from you, don't ever let anger be the reason that you wish to protect Natasha. We are taught to hate and be angry, but for all of us, it is easier to love. because love comes naturally."

The two of them stood under the pale moonlight that shimmered over the lake. Fireflies danced about, and tree frogs were croaking. It was so perfect, just like in every cheesy romance movie. Felix greeted her, seeming happy that she was dow here. However, she couldn't help but feel insecure. Who was to say that he even liked her, as a friend? There were so many prettier and funner girls around. She was scrawny, recessive, and sickly. Who would want someone like her?

Skylar was glad to hear that he still had somewhere to stay. Drifting form place to place with no strong roots was such a lonely feeling. She preferred to have a set future, than blowing around in the wind like a tumbleweed. "That's good," she murmured. Her voice turned into a bit of a chuckle, and she said,"That hotel manager didn't seem too happy earlier! I don't know, I guess I was just worried," she finished lamely, and ducking her head down in embarrassment. "I'm glad you aren't planning on leaving soon," she sad, and gazed up into his face. "I mean, you're a great person, and I hoped maybe we could be friends or something." Hastily, she added,"Only if you want to though! If not, I understand." She was rambling like an idiot, how much longer did he want her here? For some reason, all of these questions of doubt frustrated her wolf. Suddenly, she felt herself transform. Her wolf hadn't been let out in a while, and it seemed just right. The tan, almost golden wolf blinked calmly. "You've never seen me like this before, have you?" she questioned. "What do you look like?"

Her hysterical laughter was one of the sweetest things Judd had ever heard. He joined in, and wrapped his arms tighter around her. "I'm sure you do," he murmured. He grinned and said,"I'd give you the one I have now, but it's got beer all over it." He could tell how flirtatious her last sentence was, and could feel his heart speed up in response. She leaned into him, and commented on what a good pillow he was. Judd chuckled,"I' glad I'm good for one thing." He continued to play with her hair, and she seemed relaxed and hypnotized by this. She groggily asked if he still wanted one of her shirts. Sure, he still did, but at the same time, he didn't want to ruin the moment. So, he left the choice open to her. "Whatever you want," he murmured. She was so beautiful, and he hoped her feelings wouldn't change by morning. If she acted like Shiloh did, and went out with someone else, he'd never forgive himself.

Once she was set down onto her feet, Noelle lightly held onto his arm to steady herself. After a moment, she dropped her arm to her side. She beamed when Vincent lifted her hand and kissed the top of it. "I will do that!" She responded, giving the male a cheeky grin. "I do hope to see you soon. Maybe even tomorrow!" She added, sending him a wink. Finally, she turned and made her way into the cabin. She had a smile on her face, but it turned into a grimace when she felt her head pounding from the alcohol. She rubbed her temples with her hand, shuffling over to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water. The smell of brownies entered her nose, but she couldn't eat at a time like this. After grabbing her bottle of water, she made her way back to her room. As she walked, she took a small sip of it. Once she reached her room, she changed into pajamas and gave a content sigh. Hopefully, she would come across the lone male wolf sometime soon. She had enjoyed their brief encounter even though she had been wary of him in the first place. She flopped onto her bed, draining the rest of the water in her bottle. Eventually, she drifted off to a pleasant sleep minus the slight headache.

Zane was quiet as she spoke, concentrating on understanding her words as they began to rush out in faster waves. He could tell that she was still wounded from her past, not so much that she dwelled on it, but that it did affect who she was each day when she awoke. Zane turned his face toward the wall of pictures, inspecting each of them closer. She looked happier, more care-free in them. And then the wall abruptly changed into pictures of the current pack, although there weren't nearly as many. He took note that she was the pre-judged, uptight girl he had seen all his pack life in these photos, not the bright-eyed girl in the previous pack's. "It is hard for my wolf to understand love," he spoke finally, averting his eyes away from the picture frames. They were filled with varying emotions, none of which were Zane's to intrude upon. He had Juliana, here and now. Not her years ago, not her months ago, but now. "The need to protect, to fight for, to have courage in the face of danger...that's all simple," Zane explained his eyes staring directly into Juliana's now. "I take orders from my alpha without a question. I would take a silver bullet for any one of my pack mates without a question. But to love?" Zane snorted, running his hand through his hair. He searched for the words that would sufficiently portray his thoughts, but came up empty. It was just...a barrier. A barrier in his mind and in his heart. Love was a weakness, because those whom you love can be taken from you. "I stood here and listened to you speak," he murmured, his eyes taking on a fiercer glint, "and the whole time, the one word that came to mind was forgiveness. And I wouldn't be able to forgive anyone who had done that to me. I wouldn't forgive anyone who did that to you, even now it makes my blood boil to think about that selfish son of a gun who did that to you. I don't understand how you move forward from that, how you could heal. How you could learn to love again. I don't get it. Hell, I don't know if you even have." He took a breath, frustrated because it still wasn't what he was trying to get her to understand. Forgiveness and love went hand in hand to Zane, in a peculiar way. "My wolf--no, I don't understand anything but the tangible. I grew up watching my father beat my mother, and the next day they would be a happily married couple once more. Because she forgave him. She'd sit me down each night and tell me how important love is to the world, and how small her problems truly were 'compared to the greater picture'. She was weak," Zane choked out, his eyes watering. He spoke so harshly of her, yet his heart broke at the same time. "They died in a car crash when I was fourteen. He probably got mad at her, like always, and killed them both. Just like that." Zane hadn't brought up his parents in years. Seven years, to be exact. It was a confusing and trying year of his life, and it wasn't often that he liked to venture down that path. "Love isn't easier to me, it doesn't come naturally," Zane said helplessly, his voice growing dangerously soft, "I don't want to kill someone."

Natasha laid her head against his chest, yawning. In her groggy state, she nuzzled her face into the crook of his neck, seeking warmth and the comfort of being so close to him. She felt safe. "I don't want to move," she mumbled. His hands in her hair was almost all she could feel, that and his warmth. She sighed softly, everything about her content and serene. Her wolf was oddly quiet now. Puckering her lips in a slight pout, she wondered aloud, "You're not going to forget me in the morning because you're drunk, are you?" The idea of this moment--this perfect moment--happening simply because they were both drunk and wouldn't remember it the next day bothered her. She didn't want to think about it. She didn't want it to happen.

Xavier voiced his agreement with his mate, and tilted her chin up so that he could give her another knee-knocking kiss. His wolf howled in delight, completely content with the way that the day had turned out. "We're perfect, doll," he whispered. { WB }

Juliana also listened quietly, shifting in her chair before she rose slowly, moving around the table and she knelt down in front of him, reaching up tentatively to touch his cheek, "I do not believe that your soul. Wolf or human would be capable of killing. You don't know it, but there is love in you. I can see it. You just need to look deeper to find it," she whispered to him gently. her grey eyes were soft and she raised up just a little so their eyes were level, "and as for forgiving him, I cannot say that I did not want revenge. If I had seen his face again I would have ripped him open and then make him watch as everything and everyone he loves burn. Like he had make me do. But now, now I cannot even fathom it," Juliana whispered gently, putting her hand in his, you will not kill anyone. I can promise you that. I will always be there to stop you and forgive you if you do slip up. I will always be there," Juliana told him in a soft whisper, kissing his forehead gently, her lips lingering on the skin for a moment before she pulled away.

They were laying together, quiet but happy. He was so glad she had allowed him to spend time with her. If not, they'd both be quarantined in their rooms, drunk and alone. It was only a few hours that he had been so upset and angry, but now he didn't have a care in the world. His blissful state was all simply because Natasha was by his side. "You don't have to move," he breathed. "I'll be glad if you just stay here with me." He felt the desire to kiss her, but he kept his wolf impulses under control. It was too soon for that - it had t be right. She had to want to kiss too. From everything he'd learned that day, he knew that he couldn't force someone to like him. He kept staring at the ceiling, so darn happy. He was brought back to earth at her almost heartbreaking question; would he forget her in the morning. It was almost as the blue-eyed girl had read his own doubts about her. "No," he murmured softly, and he momentarily stopped playing with her hair. His deep blue eyes stared into her own. His face was serious and slack, all honesty in it. "No," he repeated,"I will never forget you, ever. I'm so lucky that I was able to spend time with you tonight, and I can't thank you enough. You're pretty damn important to me, and it's gonna stay that way, sober or not." He looked back down at his hands, hoping she would feel the same.

Vince gave a crooked smile to the girl as she agreed to do as he'd asked. He hoped she would not end up with too much of a headache in the morning. “I'll be around.” Vincent found himself looking forward to seeing the fairytale maiden the next day. Something he had not done in a while. The days seemed to meld together after a while. The faces blending together. Meaningless names, smiles, conversations. They meant something this time. He was not sure what, but at least he knew he would not be forgetting her anytime soon. It was a small town after all, they would see each other eventually. He watched her enter the cabin, hovering on the porch for a few moments after the door closed. Shoving his hands into his pants pockets he jogged down the small set of stairs and made his way towards the hotel. Vincent figured his brother would make his way home when he was ready. He'd slept most of the day so he was sure he was full of energy. He however, had woken up early that morning and was beginning to feel the trials of the day. It was a pleasant night so he meandered his way through the forest, heading in the direction of the dim lights of the town.

Felix chuckled as she mentioned the motel manager. He hadn’t thought anyone had seem that. Then again they were making quit a racket and were bound to have drawn some attention to themselves. “Haha, you saw that?” Felix chuckled, a grin appearing on his lips. “Yeah, he got a bit upset when I didn't answer the door. I was sleeping so I didn't hear him until he started shouting.” Thinking back on it made him laugh now how angry he'd gotten over being awaken by him. He hoped they would have their room still, everything they owned was in there after all. “Hehe, thanks, but you don't need to be worrying about me.” The brute had been living on his own for most of his life, so it was a bit of a new experience having someone actually care about his well-being. His brother did of course, but that was his brother.

Felix grinned at her as she spoke of being friends, hearing the embarrassment in her words even if he could barely see it on her face. “I thought we already were party girl.” He watched as she suddenly transformed into a tan wolf. It surprised him slightly though it wasn't apparent. “I have now.” When she questioned him about his wolf form he gladly obliged. His wolf hadn't had much freedom lately having recently been in a larger city. It was a nice change of pace. Within a few moments he'd shifted into a deep brown wolf, his fur appearing almost black in the moonlight. His wolf rushed forward, unable to control itself after being held back for such an extended period of time. He gave a little bounce where he stood, feeling such freedom on all fours. His pale green eyes glinted with energy as he spoke, “Quite the charming devil aren't I. You're quite the catch as well.” The night was perfect and he couldn't help but feel a new found vigor course through him.

Zane drank in her words as though they were a life source. She had managed to captivate every ounce of his attention. He couldn't imagine himself ever tiring of her presence. There was always something mystical about the way she moved, the way she articulated her thoughts and honed in on every emotion that passed through him. He managed to crack a smile as she spoke of her revenge, feeling relieved that she would've wanted the same thing as him. His wolf thought it was a loose end left undealt with, but it wasn't his place to track that down. When she moved about the room and knelt in front of him, his heart beat quickened. She leaned forward and placed a lingering kiss on his forehead. His eyes fell shut, and he breathed in her scent. Her small, delicate hand fit perfectly in his large, calloused one, and he held it firmly. Zane opened his eyes, immediately seeking her breathtaking grey eyes. It was he who leaned forward this time, his lips dancing dangerously close to hers. Instead of landing where he craved to, he pressed them at the corner of her mouth and murmured, "I guess I'll have to act up every once in a while, if it means you'll be by my side once more."

Natasha smiled, one of those smiles that lights up her entire face. Her eyes danced with affection for the man whom she was gazing at, her heart skipping a few beats. She could read the honesty plain and clear across his face, something that only made her body yearn to lean forward and kiss him. But she didn't want to ruin the moment. Sure, he had said she was important but she didn't know if he would react well to it. Natasha reached her hand out, cupping his cheek with it. Never breaking their gaze, she whispered simply, "I'm the lucky one." Her whole body glowed with the compliment of him not willing to forget her whether he was sober or drunk. Natasha didn't think she could forget him, even if she tried. The thought terrified her, but she embraced it with open arms. She wouldn't be her brother and let childish things separate herself from happiness. "You're quite something," she whispered. "I may get addicted to you, shh don't tell."
