Rhydian had risen way before the crack of dawn, scouting out the forest. It was a daily thing he did, and something he took seriously and enjoyed. He loved the forest more than anything, it was a place full of tranquility. it was beautiful and was a place he would do anything to protect along with his pack. He would put his life on the line for them, has before and will still.

Slowing down his pace he tilted his head as he listened intently and closed his eyes. Hearing the rustling of the leaf litter below him and the wind through the leaves of the trees, the sound of water flowing in a small creek nearby. But what caught his attention the most was the sound if footsteps, if hooves to be more exact. Opening his eyes, he knew they would have been gold in colour and would be striking against his normally dark brown eyes that were almost black in colour. He crouched low to the ground and moved forward slowly and stealthily, something he was expert at. Rhydian smiled when he saw the small gathering of deer, there only consisted of a two does and a massive stag. He looked at the stag curiously as he sat down and watched, the deer not catching his scent yet. They were normally very skittish creatures but they were they majestic in their own way and very graceful.

Abruptly he felt his phone go off and the deer looked at him startled before stopping him and bounded off. He sighed with annoyance. "This better be important." he spoke with annoyance. He pulled out his phone and read the message from Aaron and shot up to his feet as he replied back. 'Get out if there and make sure the other pack members aren't around.' he texted back frantically. He knew how dangerous Aiden was. They both had encounters before, he had the scars to prove it. He didn't wnat anything to happen to the others like it almost did to him.

Rhydian sprinted as fast as he could which helped being a werewolf you could run faster than any human. He soon reached the edge if the forest barely breathing heavy. He started to run towards the coffee shop and to get Aaron and find any of the others if they were around. He came to the street and froze as he saw Aaron talking with Aiden. Just thinking then, that Aiden may remember him, he shook his head not caring. He walked down the street towards the cafe.

Alaska yawned tiredly as she rose up from her bed, which was tempting to just stay in bed all day as it was a lot warmer. Running a hand through her messy dirty blonde hair she rubbed the sleep from her hazel eyes. She looked around her room blinking, as she slowly adjusted them to the light that was filtering inti her room through the blinds. Groaned quietky she quickly got changed into some jeans and a shirt and coat. Her out of whack routine wasn't organised or tidy, she never was in the mornings. Brushing her head quickly before she walked back into her bedroom. She rested her hands on her hips as she mulled over what to bring, weapon wise. Walking to the side if her bed she lifte style mattress and grabbed some of her daggers and slipped into her black combat boot and two under her coat. Deciding to just settle with that she grabbed her keys, phone and purse before she walked out if the door.

Being a hunter she was always out, never really staying inside. Especially when she knew that werewolves were In this town. She didn't know who yet but she did know they were here. That was one good thing about being a hunter no one knows about. Well some know her, but not many usualy. She was the ghost if the hunter society I suppose.

As she walked down the street she spotted a guy that seemed a year or so younger than her. She stopped and watched him curiously and saw him take photos of people as they went about their daily routines. She headed towards him, frowning a little in confusion. She wasn't the one to shy away from the chance of getting an answer to her curiosity. When she reached him she stopped shirt and saw him take another photo but of two guys talking outside the coffee store. She blinked as she looked at one of them, he was vaguely familar, before it clicked. It was adien. She was going to say hello but he no doubt had no idea who she was. Even if she was a hunter as well. Turning her gaze back to the other guy she half smiled, "Hi, umm....just wondering, but why are you taking photos of people? I mean isn't nature popular to take photos of?" she asked curious,y with a raised eyebrow and looked at him with her hazel eyes. She often the curious one, with a lot of questions to ask which had its pros and cons of being a hunter.

Stepping away from the lens of his camera, Remi turned to the screen of his device, in which the photo was being displayed. The male smiled at it; he had caught the two males in a moment that turned out great. The light was near perfect, and the angle was a fair one as well. Not bad, Remi. He thought to himself. That's a pretty good one.

And then the woman came. "Hm?" The brunette asked, before looking up. Confusion momentarily clouded his brown eyes, until what she had said sunk in. His expression cleared up almost imminently. "Oh, well, I like capturing the essence of people." The male explains vaguely, not sure if the stranger would 'get' what he was attempting to convey. "Posed photos always seem.. kinda well, fake to me. To me, I enjoy taking genuine stills."

Natasha sat down in the opposite chair, hoping Hazel wouldn't mind much. She glanced at the two outside the window, the strangers back still turned away. She couldn't see his face clearly. She looked back at Hazel, seeing she too was nervous about this meeting. She frowned as Hazel asked who the stranger was,"I haven't seen his face but his scent isn't the best. I can tell he's a hunter and he's got the smell of blood." She paused " wait do you know who he is?" she enquired, wrapping her fingers tightly around her phone. She wondered if she should tell Rhydian. She gave one last look to the two on the street before saying " I'll text Rhydian to let him know, he should know a hunter is in town at least" she said opening her phone and sending a quick text saying ' at the coffee shop with Hazel. Hunter in town talking with Aaron, will keep an eye out for him. Need to be more careful with the pack now that hunters are showing up'

xxxxxAaron watched as the infamous hunter left the small shop, then quickly hurried out himself. He had need received any sort of reply from his alpha, so it might not hurt to do a little scouting. It was about eleven in the morning, so he wouldn't have to worry about missing too much at the coffee shop. It closed at noon and reopened at five. It was probably best not to turn into a wolf if he was going to watch Aiden, but there was a chance that Aaron could also hide his secret from the man and try to befriend him as well. Choosing the latter, Aaron raced to catch up with the man. "Hey! Sorry if I startled you in the shop, I forgot about some of the pastries in the oven. I hope someone served you, sometimes I'm the only one doing anything there." He gave a small chuckle, doing his best to control the bubbling fear that was about ready to drive him away. He adjusted his glasses and ran a hand through his hair, giving a small smile to blonde.

There was a voice to his left and aiden almost visibly jumped a tad, being tired and startled by the sudden appearance. "O-oh?" He replied, then registering what was said and nodding. "Yeah; yeah i got coffee." He replied easily. Really if people didnt know who he was, they could think him to be an innocent and curious thing. Aiden never seemed dangerous to anyone who knew nothing; he was rather harmless unless set off really. " thanks though." He didnt have heightened senses or anything of the sort, thus expected nothing as of that moment. He just thought the guy was being friendly. Aiden saw absolutely no reason to panic or be frightened, he was rather capable of handling just about any situation. His gaze was surprisingly, mostly downcast aside from when he looked the the new guy when he was spoken to. If course this was nice, speaking to someone. That was until he looked up to see a familiar face that took him merely seconds to place; and something visibly clicked inside of him, his hazel eyes darkening and realizing sething important and potentially dangerous.
Aiden had found him. The one wolf that had escaped in his many years.

Things weren't shaping up to be so good for Gracie. That morning she had slept in too late, burnt her hand while preparing some scrambled eggs for herself, and had completely missed a potential job interview. It wasn't shaping out to be a good day. One plus was that she hadn't gotten any stains on her shirt yet. That was a pleasant surprise. The girl looked back and forth between the busy street before crossing with everyone else. She didn't like this situation. There were too many people for her liking. Any one of these people could try to hurt her at any time; that much she knew. Her parents had reiterated that to her time and time again. Anyone could be a threat and that lesson had proved true. Gracie knew that hunters could be anywhere. This paranoia followed her everywhere. What about that person? That woman? That child? The girl shrunk back into the crowd of people. A busy looking woman bumped Gracie's shoulder and brought her attention back to the streets. "Sorry." She spoke softly to the woman who was now long gone.

The lone girl looked around the street for any familiar faces. She saw none. Great. Just her luck. Gracie took a seat on the nearest bench and just began to people watch. She began to wonder where everyone was going and what their intentions were. Her attention was peeked by, wait, was that Aaron? She must've wandered over towards his place of employment. And that man with him. Oh dear. All of her fears were confirmed as soon as she saw that man's face. It appeared as though many of the pack's members were all scattered around this area and all of them were tense at this hunter's appearance. Thank goodness she was across the street from them. Gracie didn't move from her bench, but instead sunk down and looked at the ground. There was no need for her to make herself a bigger presence than she might've already been. Just don't bring attention to yourself. That's what her mother had always told her.

xxxxxThe boy gave a lopsided grin, the ends of his brown apron flapping slightly as he walked down the street with Aiden, still oblivious to the fact the hunter had recognized him. "So, I haven't seen you around here before. I should warn you the downtown area is a bit of a tourist trap, but the mountains are really pretty. Just watch out for the mountain lions and bears, attacks have been getting more and more common." Aaron sighed heavily, as if he was discouraged about the attacks, when they both knew full well who was really responsible for the attacks. As the brunette turned to the hunter, something made his heart skip a beat, setting panic into him. The darkened expression on the blonde's face made him to believe that Aiden had figured him out. However, as he followed the hunter's gaze, he could tell that it wasn't Aaron who was the problem, it was someone else. He was positive that one of his pack members had probably walked by, but he didn't have time to make out a face before as it had disappeared as soon as it came. He decided to fake a concerned expression; playing as an innocent human could ultimately earn the hunter's trust. "Is something wrong sir?" He asked. He stuck his hands in his pockets, his converses making small scuffling noises on the sidewalk as he looked back over to the cafe. The boy was very nervous, standing next to a hunter who could snap him like a toothpick, but he figured as long as the other man's focus was on the wolf who passed by, he'd be okay. Besides, he was already doing a good job as acting like a human.

[peapcd]

"Bears and mountain lions." He repeated, then taking a sip of his drink. "I it were canada, i'd have free healthcare, and it wouldn't matter." Aiden had dual citizenship, his eyes then snapping back to aaron and he visibly relaxed once more. "Either way, i'm going for a drink. You can come or go back to whatever it is you do." He actually pulled a flask from his jacket, pouring the contents into the coffee and pulling fingers through his hair. He was clearly a mess, though it only added to how intimidating he actually was. Aiden was what one could call a sociopath, and this was known by many. He took another sip of the drink, calming and becomming more alert, in a weird way. Aiden obviously couldn't care less about anything, it being not even noon and him already drinking.

xxxxxAaron blinked a couple of times at the mention of going for a drink. He opened his mouth to speak, but chose not to question it as he watched the blonde pull out a flask and pour some of its contents into his coffee. Aaron didn't typically drink until around four or five, but he most certainly wouldn't turn down an offer, especially from someone like this. He sought it as a good opportunity to find out more information. "There's a bar not far from here, walking distance. Just got to push through some crowds, that's all." He shrugged, pulling his hands out of his pockets to roll down his sleeves. The mornings in Gatlinburg tended to be cool and foggy, and lead into the afternoon as well. He ran a hand through his light brown hair, hen continued walking down the sidewalk, doing the best he could to avoid the crowd. Every once in awhile, he'd check to make sure that Aiden was either behind or near him, as it was pretty easy to get lost in the traffic. He finally stopped in front of a small restaurant, pushing the door open and stepping inside. It was pretty empty aside from a couple families eating early lunch near some of the windows, and the bar was empty. Only the bartender looked up from cleaning the glass in his hands, nodding for them to sit down somewhere.

[peapcd]

Aiden gave a very rare smile; it was clear that he could have been a charmer if he hadn't have become rather.. Off the handle. As they walked he kept slightly behind the other boy, almost getting lost at one point, because of plain laziness. He saw the restaurant infront of them and when theypushed open the doors the airconditioning hit him like a slap in the face. He sat at the bar carefully and got a whiskey on the rocks. " i feel like this town is sketchy." He murmured, having finished his liquor infused coffee by then. He shook his head slightly, then pulling fingers through his hair. "Like sketchier than i am."

xxxxxAaron only got some sort of hoppy drink; he was only going to have one, not wanting to end up passing out. He tapped his fingers on the wooden bar, looking around the restaurant. It was quaint, and it reminded him of an old tavern or something like that. "Well I mean, there's con artists everywhere you look tryna squeeze every last penny out of you here." He gave a small chuckle, wanting to avoid the topic of the attacks. He shrugged it off, lifting the bottle to his lips and taking a sip before shifting his body to face Aiden. "I'm Aaron by the way." The brown-haired man smiled, releasing his grasp around the cold bottle and instead extending it out to shake Aiden's hand.
