Eida & Alec
Eida scoffed for what felt like the tenth time that morning, her hand instinctively reaching for the wet wipes she kept beside her mirror at all times. With a rather disgruntled expression, Eida wiped the makeup from her eyes and threw the wipe down in the bin, releasing a barely audible squeak of disapproval as she did so. It was, approximately, her tenth time trying to make it even on both eyes. Her crazy, irrational, perfectionist self had prevented her from simply 'going with it', as her brother called it. Speaking of her brother... Eida did a little twirl as she spun on her heel, eyes narrowing in on the limp form which lay lazily upon her bed. She scoffed, yet again, and threw the entire packet of wet wipes. They landed on his stomach, eliciting a winded grunt from the teen. His head lifted so that he could glance at her, before he released an audible sigh. "For the last time, I'm not doing it for you." She tilted her head to one side. "Okay, I'm not doing it for you again."
It was - at the very least - another twenty minutes before Eida was finally pleased enough with her appearance that she was able to leave the room. Alec trailed after her, cradling his arm with a flushed expression. Eida skipped down the hallway, her body practically twitching with barely-controlled glee. "Thanks for helping me out, bro!" she yipped as she made her way down the flight of stairs leading to the ground floor - or lobby - of the hotel. It was still incredibly early, all things considered, so when she threw herself into the kitchen for breakfast she wasn't entirely surprised that she found no one in there but herself and her quietly muttering brother. Alec made a straight line for the fridge, hissing as he lifted his arm to open the door. He pulled out some milk and threw it to his sister, who had already gotten the cereal. While she grabbed the bowels, he grabbed the spoons; they both set them down at the same time, and fought for the right to pour their cereal first, before doing so again with the milk mere moments later. This was a battle they faced almost every morning.
It wasn't until Alec tucked into his bowel that he realised they hadn't made a third for Alexis. He gave his sister a quick glance, which seemed to have sent the message well and clear. Eida scuttled off towards the door, swinging it open and swallowing a moment as if to brace her vocals for the onslaught they faced. "Alexis!" Eida called, hoping that the silence of the hotel would carry her vocals far enough. "You want a bowl of cereal? Or something?" Truth be told, she didn't even know what her Aunt happened to be doing at that time, but upon the checking of her watch she realised they had a little over half an hour to leave, so she didn't hurry. Gesturing to Alec, he used his back to keep the door propped open in case of a response, as Eida threw her spoon into her bowl eagerly.
Alexander and Scavenger
"I don't know why you're so nervous," muttered Scavenger as her pale optics followed the older man who appeared to be pacing the room breathlessly. "She'll most likely just be happy to see her husband again." Alex halted. Though his expression was one of unfathomable passivity, his eyes were dark and hard as they shifted towards her; they settled for a few moments before wandering aimlessly on. Alexander didn't bother to utter a response. Too involved in his own train of thought was he that actual words were something of an impossibility. Lips twitching with the urge to move, Alex grumbled something incoherent, and continued on about the room, from one corner to the next. Scavenger merely shook her head, and threw her arms out in the air with a grunt as she attempted to drag herself up off of the arm chair.
They were in Alex's apartment at that time. It was a nice little place, although the only furniture - excluding the bathroom and kitchen - in the place was a bed and a chair, both located in the living area. Alex had to move ever since Scavenger decided to pay him a visit and ended up barrelling through the portal, onto his bed. He did not seem pleased about that. He'd proceeded to throw the bed through the doorway out of the room the following morning, but not after throwing her about the place first. He was a strict one, that Alex. Scavenger's gaze travelled to the doorway, which barely qualified as such. Upon trying to fit the bed through, Alex had realised that it didn't fit, and decided it was easy just to create a gaping hole in his apartment as opposed to dismantling the bed and building it again. An amused grunt filled the silence.
"We should go," Alex finally spoke, causing Scavenger's head to swivel around, pale eyes fixating on his face. His face lacked emotion, but his eyes held a hurt that could not be described with words. Huffing, she nodded and stepped forward a little, extending her arm. Alex, with an increasing sense of hesitance, did the same; their hands met but Alex's grip was practically non-existent, leaving Scavenger to shift her hand and curl her fingers around his wrist instead. In an instant, they appeared behind the school.
Both making their way around to the front of the building, they parted ways to prevent rousing suspicion. As far as the citizens of Parkwood were concerned, Alex and Scavenger were complete strangers. Teacher and pupil. Nothing more, nothing less. While Alex continued on down the hallway, Scavenger turned right at the first corridor and started towards her first class of the day: Maths. Alex had a class to teach, anyhow. English Literature, if he remembered correctly. Thankfully, he was able to make it through the hallway without encountering any of his family. Upon discovering the location of his classroom, Alex entered and set his case down on the desk at the front, clearing his throat. None of them were present, but no doubt they would begin to flood in once the morning bell rang. He just hoped he wouldn't get any of his grandchildren.
Kellin
Kellin's dark eyes focused finally, eyelids peeling themselves open to reveal... absolutely nothing. His personal quarters in the Wraith Realm were caked in complete darkness. Therefore, even when his sight became clear, he could see nothing but the subtle outlines of his furniture. Groaning loudly, he shifted so that he could prop his upper weight up with his arms, eyes continuing to peer into the gloom for a further minute before he even made the attempt to move from beneath the covers. Padding slowly over to the windowless hole in the side of the building he'd been calling home for the last three years. It was a dreary little castle-type foundation; the outer appearance suggested that one punch from a supernatural being and the entire structure would crumble instantly. Reflecting upon this, Kellin barely held in a sigh. How pathetic...
Kellin fought to turn his entire form around, pushing himself to walk towards the bedroom door. It swung open immediately, revealing a portly man in his late fifties, standing perfectly still with his head lowered. To either side of him stood a girl; pale-skinned, tall, plain-faced and shapeless. They, too, held their gaze to the ground, their hands clasped together in front of them. "Sir Davenport," the middle-aged man practically cooed, tipping his over-sized body forward. The action caused Kellin to move backwards, lest the man's balding head slap into his bare chest. He didn't think he could prevent the general awkwardness of such a situation from turning into anger. He really didn't want to have to kill this man; he was a fairly good servant, as far as they went. Annoying and jiggly as he was, he served Kellin well. "Don't call me that," the younger man replied, turning once more and padding into the centre of the room. "Come on in, Jerry. Upon command, Jerry did just that, the two younger girls trailing silently behind him, eyes still down on the floor. They were new, as far as Kellin knew, but he shrugged it off.
After about an hour had passed, Kellin had been fully washed and dressed. He wore a button-up and some jeans; his usual attire. Standing in the middle of his room once more, Kellin was left with nothing to do. He'd refused his grandfather's command to return to school, but he was not altogether denying that returning to Parkwood on the whole was necessary to their plans. Releasing a short huff, Kellin sat extended his arms and splayed his fingers out into the empty space before him. He squinted his eyes closed as a heavy concentration overcome him. A trick he'd learned ever since meeting Lexi was to pinpoint her exact location, and use it to travel through the Realms. Upon picking this up, he'd quickly tried it out on Alexander and Scavenger (even though neither of them got along too well). As a black space opened up in front of him, a mischievous grin slithered across Kellin's lips and pulled them back to reveal a set of white teeth. He hopped through.
Upon entering Mark's Mansion, the first person he took notice of was Lexi. He took this opportunity, with her back turned to him, to run up nearly silently and wrap his arms around her from behind, nuzzling her neck almost ravenously. "Miss me?" he teased.
Brooklyn West, Lexi Vincent
&
Logan Vincent
The sky over the Siren Isles was calm as always, the sea and sky surrounding the Isles always reflected the inhabitants and as a generally peaceful races, when you cut out the murderous sex life, the sky is rarely stormy and the sea rarely active, Lexi had grown bored of it, everything was always the same and the parties were rarely worth their weight in alcohol. However, ever since the Remei became the Royal Guests of Brooklyn, the sky had started to become slightly cloudy and the seas a tad bit choppier, but as soon as they were gone, the skies went back to normal as did the sea. The excitement of seeing some semblance of change in the weather made her even more bored with the calm, so the next time they visited Lexi scanned them for someone worthy of her time, and her eyes fell on Kellin, she knew not his rank in the Remei or his particular race, but his scent was far more chaotic than the rest of them and so she began her game, making herself much more known to the Remei, in hopes to entice the other hybrid to visit her and cause a stir among the isles, and to her surprise it worked and she most certainly wasn't complaining, he was able to keep up with her unlike the pathetic mortals who cry at the slightest blood.
Now with the Sirens amassing and preparing for an invasion, the skies and seas alive as ever, yet the Royal children are being forced to flee the Isles and instead are being sent to the 'safety' of the mortal world, to a town called Parkwood.
"There's only ever been one portal to the Siren Isles, of course, there's plenty to the Fae realm as a whole, but the Sirens of Old didn't want anyone creeping up on their Isles after all of the gods they've pissed off, so when they crossed the dimesion, they severed the connections, bar one." Brooklyn told her children as they made their way through the maze. "It was surrounded by a maze and the only exit, well entrance, is from the Royal Villa, the most guarded place which has housed some the strongest of Sirens ever, it'll take us to the mortal realm, where you two are to remain until this is all over. Do you hear me?" Brooklyn turned around, her finger in Lexi's face first and then in Logan's, both of whom simply nodded. "Right, here we are." The trio were standing at a fountain which Brooklyn dipped her toe into and slowly sank into, her toga turning dark as it absorbed the water. Logan stepped into the water eagerly, whilst his sister complained about getting her skirts and hair wet, but he pulled her into the fountain anyway.
Once completely submerged, the pair were no longer in the typical fashion of the Siren Isles, skimpy togas or nothing at all, but instead casually fashionable clothes, there mother however was in a rather expensive looking dress and her crown was now hanging around her neck. She smiled at her children before taking them to the mansion, she know owned, left to her by the man she now hopes to save.
The mansion was still well maintained and even still had staff working in it, however the work was significantly less, it was only 2 maids to clean the house and prevent it from being to disgusting for the family's return and a butler, to maintain standards and welcome the family also, he and the 2 maids were the only ones living in the house as of yet. They greeted the family courteously and Brooklyn corrected them, reminding them that they weren't to bow to the family. "Well, I'd give you a tour, but I have to return to the Isles and make sure none of those Remei break anything and no coups happen. Be safe, my loves." She pulled her children in tight for a hug and kissed both of them before leaving, a single tear dropping from her eye as she abandoned her children, like her mother did her, for their own good.
Lexi sighed as she looked out a window, "Is it always sunny here too?" Logan looked over at his shoulder to watch the Butler shake his head before answering.
"No, ma'am. It rains, blows, snows and on occasion there's storms." He informed her, to which Lexi nodded with a slightly delighted smile.
"Good, and what of parties and food?" She asked, a slight tone of snobbery lacing her voice.
"Lexi, leave the man be." Logan finally spoke up, before stepping closer to the stairs. "Where's my room?" The Butler smiled to Logan before leading him up the stairs.
"Your mother suggested I gave you the older master's room, I believe you and him to be of similar measurements, if not they should do until we get you some new clothes." Lexi could hear their conversation as she explored the hallway, admiring the art and taking the opportunity to feel the fabrics and trace the paintings, no doubt she'd be shouted at by the servants if she did it in front of them.
As she was tracing her finger over a painting, a weird feeling of being watched fell over her but she shook it off as being alone in a new place, until something grabbed her from behind and nuzzled her neck, like a beast did it's dinner. "Miss me? She heard the all too familiar voice and she twirled around and looked up to see the tanned Remei she'd become rather fond of.
"Sorry, who are you?" She teased before kissing him, pinching his lips with her teeth as she pulled away.
Joshua Copper:
Joshua was still reviewing the last few minutes in his head. And as he did that, he asked the truck driver that just hit him what was in that engine. "Oh, this truck here is the most reliable truck ever. Its got three engines, two backups and one main, several redundant breaking systems as well as counter measures to make sure they don't accidentally trigger. That way, nothing goes wrong on this route. I take it on the same time, every day, at the same speed, and pass every spot just like before. I leave nothing to luck or chance".
"Well, that would explain how I got hit at all" Joshua mentioned silently to himself. Then he remembered what he was running from. "Anyways, gotta go. Need breakfast, and I see a diner across the street. Later!"
He had people after him, again. Joshua ducked into the diner, and quickly sat down in one of the booths. There is no way they will follow me in here...
Suddenly, a waitress came over to him. "Congradulations on being our one millionth customer! As a prize, all of your food is free!"
He ordered quite a bit of food, and then began to eat all of it. He was not sure if it was a Lynxcroft trait, or a natural one he himself just had, but it at least seemed like he could eat twice his body weight in food. And he lost weight last year, too.
Once the meal was done, he peeked outside. Of course, he could see them, but apparently the food in the diner was masking his smell, because not a single one of the werewolves could detect him. "Alright, great. Don't suppose my luck wont change though?"
It started to rain. Which honestly, did not help much. Because now, he had to walk, or run, through the rain and mud. But, the pack would be unable to persue him, so that was a plus. "I swear, sometimes luck is purely dependent on you asking it. Now if only that worked more often".
He went out the back door, and started to run towards town. He saw a sign that read "Welcome to Parkwood" on the way in. It caused him to chuckle somewhat. "I rather doubt it will be that welcoming" he mentioned, as he pulled a hood over his head. "I wonder how long I will be able to stay in this one?"
At least the wolves were off his scent.
(And, start music and title shows up now as he is seen running into town! :3)

"So this is how it feels to feel free."
Elena's words had left her before she could hold them back. The young woman hovered above the clouds, transparent to the world. Far below her, she could see the town she had slowly fallen in love with. And now she could spend her life there. It was a rush of relief and adrenaline at the prospect, but it also twisted her stomach into knots with fear. It had been way, way too long since she had talked to another soul and the idea of doing it again made her a little bit nervous. Even so, Elena decided that it had been long enough. It was time.
She landed in a copse of trees close to the edge of town. She had heard that the hotel she was hoping to stay at was close by, in the woods. Before leaving, she closed her eyes and let colour pour into her. A human form would make her appear a little bit more normal, at least. Laughing to herself quietly, she brushed herself off and picked up the small pouch of possessions she had brought with her, and dropped shortly before taking on her human form. After attaching it to her small frame, she proceeded to locate the dirt trail to her right, and followed it.
The forest seemed magical to Elena. The grass beneath her bare feet, soft and green, almost made her flinch. Early morning sun filtered through leaves and speckled the ground, and Elena couldn't help admiring the view. Before long, she had emerged and found herself in the presence of the manor. It felt as if she'd ingested butterflies in the past two seconds. She shook the chocolate coloured curls loose and took a deep breath in, before heading inside.
The lobby was huge, and quiet. Elena suddenly considered the time. What time was it? She concluded that it was early. She shook her head again, and approached the front desk. Once again, there was nobody attending it, so Elena just rang the bell instead. Her stomach twisted into knots once again. She just hoped and prayed that she would make a good impression on the town of Parkwood.
Ashley started up at the white ceiling, coming up with the many reasons why she shouldn't be going to college. For one she was a dragon/demon/fae and heir to a throne if she manages to kill off the rest of her family. Ashley will not need anything that she learns to take over the world. And Ashley never liked school. Her eyes gazed over to the clock and a heavy sigh escaped her lips. She was going to school. If her mother still loved her, she would be proud. Her eyes went to her phone and she took hold of it. For some reason she keeps expecting Victoria to need her or call her. But it never happens. It may never happen. But Ashley will keep checking. And she will keep hoping. Pushing herself up, she swung her legs over so that her feet were touching the ground. With a yawn, she was up and running around her apartment getting ready for school. She looked over herself in the mirror and was rather satisfied with her look. Grabbing her back pack and cellphone she left the apartment.
Ashley ran her fingers through her hair as she kept gazing down at her phone every once in a while. She doesn't need me right now.. She walked down the street. Ashley could just appear before the college, but she wasn't exactly eager to get there on time. Adjusting her backpack, she walked up the steps. Her first class was science. If they taught her how to blow things up, she would be more excited for the class. Ashley headed inside and looked around for anyone she knew. Then she started looking around for family. Not that she wanted to see them. In fact she was going to avoid them. Family was dangerous. Especially with the mayhem she created when she was younger and then pretty much ditching them for a demon that doesn't even want her. Getting to her classroom, she took a seat and waited.
Amorie has been sitting at her window ledge for about an hour or two. She was completely dressed for school and she was completely annoyed. Some ghost had woken her up early and demanded help. Amorie tried so hard to convince the ghost that another five minutes of sleep would do the reaper some good, but it wasn't having it. So for an hour she helped the ghost find peace. Sort of. Amorie was a bit bitter when she passed the soul on, so it isn't all that peaceful. Since she couldn't go back to sleep she just decided to get dressed. But she was really early. So she sits on the ledge. Amorie watched the sun rise. She watched the early birds catch the worm and the second mouse get the cheese. But she was ready to go to school. "Amorie?" She turned to see her dad all dressed up in a business suit. She raised an eyebrow before standing up. "I am going to be gone all day. No boys. No parties. No raising people from the dead." The brunette rolled her eyes. No that she ever followed the first rule. He kissed her forehead and then just vanished. "Typical. Didn't leave food money." Just as she said that, one hundred dollars appeared on her desk. A smile formed on the blondes face. "Thanks dad."
The reaper checked the clock once more and realized that she should be heading to school. Or to Alec's house. Alec's house sounded better. She could just walk to school with him and Eida. Grabbing her phone she texted him.
[TO] Alec
[MSG]I'm coming over.
Amorie didn't think she needed to ask since he lives in a hotel and its open to everyone. Leaving the house, she started heading towards the hotel. When she got there she walked inside and saw a girl ringing the bell. Amorie smiled. "Alec! I'm waiting for you in the lobby." She called out. She threw herself onto the couch and started playing games on her phone.
Alexis Davenport was in her large attic converted bedroom at the top of the hotel. She had musical recording instruments and things set up, and she herself was standing at a long microphone. She had wireless headphones pushing back her long black locks, though her right ear was left open so that she could hear herself. She began to sway as the music began toplay and she began to sing.
"I want to hold you to the sun
I want to be your faithful one
I want to show you all the beauty
You don't even know you hold
I'm hurting you for your own good
I'd die for you, you know I would
I'd give up all my wealth
To buy you back the soul you never sold... she bellowed, her voice dark and haunting while the while she imagine her father, who disappeared years ago, leaving her with her grieving mother. A part of her never forgave him for that, she knew how much she loved Simon, and sure he and Simon never got on, he could have been there for them. Even now, her mother was hoping that he would return like it was said Symone returned.
"I want to mix our blood
And put it in the ground
So you can never leave
I want to earn your trust
Your faith, your heart
You'll never be deceived
Liar, liar, liar, liar
Liar, liar, liar, liar
Liar, liar, liar, liar
Liar, liar, liar, liar
Liar
Liar!"
She sang some more, keeping her eye on the recording equipment.
"I want to heal you pretty sweet
I'll throw rose petals at your feet
I'll spend eternity
Comparing all my poetry to yours
I want to see love through your eyes
You'll never have to compromise
I'd give up all my fame
To fight your demons and your bloody wars..."
IT was then that she heard her niece Eida call up and Alexis could have kicked her. "Alexis!" Alexis groaned, flung the headphones off before stopping the recording.
"You want a bowl of cereal? Or something?"
Alexis stomped down the stairs, her big boots thumping as she did so. Luckly her mother wasn't home, otherwise she would have be on her about that.
She walked into the kitchen with her hands on her hips. "Does it look like I want so damn cereal? You know I don't eat anything that didn't previously breath, besides, I was recording." She said in a huff, but that didn't stop her from going into the cupboard and looking for some of the beef jerky she had bought a few days ago. Alexis was an odd one, while she was both Fae and Wraith, she didn't act like either, Wraith's didn't need to eat, Fae or Dryads in her case, mostly ate fruits and veggies.
Alexis needed meat, the rarer the better most of the time and she needed food nearly all the time, she was never not hungry. Her uncle Tommy would tease her sometimes, telling her he'd rather cloth her then feed her. She couldn't be mad at that. Her mother spent a small fortune on food.
She found herself a glass for some juice, when a cold shiver when up her spine.
The glass slipped from her hand and shattered on the floor.
"Daddy..."
In a plum of black and purple smoke, Alexis was gone without another word.
She felt him, she knew she did. She was odd that way, well she was odd in many ways, but she could always feel her father. She felt him leave, and she felt him return.
She teleported herself to the place his presence was most powerful and she found herself in an apartment.
"The Fuck...?" she gasped as she looked around. He'd been there and had been for awhile, but he was gone now.
Getting anger, she waved a hand and a black and purple portal opened. The NetherRealm connected everything, life and death, and all of it's energies were connected and collected here. She could find him here.
She'd tried it once before, but he'd been too far away, in another dimension. Interdimensional travel through the nether was dangerous, because Alexis was like a magnet, Nether energies would grab a hold of her, try to corrupt her if she were careful, which is why she couldn't go searching for her dead brother, she could find him too if she was willing to risk it.
Since her father was on the same plan as she was, she wouldn't be in the Nether for too long. In fact, she only needed to basically peek her into it, looking around, and pinpoint his location, she could open a portal to where he was, and the tunnel between the two wouldn't be very long so that's exactly what she did.
She stepped through the portal where she found his energy and found herself in
"English Lit?" She mused aloud as she looked around, and there he was. He looked different but she knew it was him.
"Dad?" she swallowed before she noticed there was already someone in the classroom. She rolled her eyes closed. She just broke the biggest rule ever. Not that she was a stranger to that but still, she never revealed her powers to a normie before...though...this girl didn't seem all that normal to her.
"Fucking Hell...."
EDEN
Checking her phone Eden saw the time and jumped up from her place on the floor while removing her earbuds and pausing her music. She then grabbed her bag, wallet and keys before leaving her apartment. She halted just outside her door, her hand shooting up to her chest where the cool crystal pendant symbolizing her birthright rested. Her fingers gripped the pendant tightly as she set a small pray to her deceased mother. Even now five thousand years later Eden still loved her mother and prayed to her everyday. Then with a deep sigh she started on her journey though it didn't take Eden long to walk to Parkwood College, the morning sun warm and bright reflected Eden's happy mood. Once she was on campuses Eden made her way to her first class since she already had her schedule. The English Lit classroom was practically empty except for a few people, a man and a dark haired girl. Child like excitement filled her at the chance to meet new people and maybe make friends.
"Good morning" Eden chirped happily. Even with her happy mood Eden could sense the somewhat dark aura these to gave off but she decided to ignore it, thinking maybe they were just having a lousy morning.
Joshua Copper:
Joshua was not happy right now. Yes, he had arrived at the town of Parkwood. But he was practically covered in mud. This was not pleasant to him. "Next time, I should get lucky by gaining the ability to fly or something. If only it worked like that" Joshua mentioned.
The first thing that caught his eye was the hotel. He REALLY needed a bath. And he was like, eleven or twelve, he kept forgetting which, at least mentally. So he normally hated baths. But he hated being covered in mud even more. Plus, the mud smelled. Though at least he knew that there was no way the wolves could have tracked him. He smelled completely like mud. If a wolf could follow that, they might actually deserve to catch him. Emphasis on might.
When Joshua entered the hotel, immediately most eyes were on him. Which made it easier to mesmer every single person in the room. TO everyone else, they would see two parents walking with him. The receptionist would check them in using "their" credit card, when it was actually the credit card of their own, once the receptionist actually arrived. He also put in a sort of block, so the receptionist would be unable to perceive the bill, yet still pay it. That mesmer ability is probably the main defense mechanism of any Lynxcroft. They could turn a whole police precinct into their guards, provided every cop was a human. Of course, that was ill advised, because having a whole police precinct not working properly is like setting up a beacon saying "Hi, look at me, I am right here! Look at me!" And a single werewolf could take out police easily. So no one ever did that. Though he did hear about one who had the NYPD brass all under his spell for two decades.
Anyways, with that done, Joshua got his key and started to head up to his room, when one of the hotel workers intercepted him. "Alright kid, who are you, what are you, and why are you here?"
The fact this guy was not affected by the mesmer made it clear he wasn't human. Which complicated things to some ungodly degree. No one in the main lobby would even remember him properly, but this guy might. Still, if he got out of this without admitting he was a Lynxcroft, this could work without him having to kill this guy or run again. "My name is Joshua. The second question is none of your damn business, because I am probably just passing through for a few weeks. Now, let me go, or I will break your arm" he told the man, grabbing his arm with his free hand and squeezing down, watching as this one guy's face become filled with pain.
"Alright, alright!" he said, releasing Joshua. "You made your...."
As he was backing up, the man slipped and fell to the ground, hitting his head and knocking him out. "Right, concussion. Well, he should get short term memory loss from that".
Joshua went towards his room, and discarded his dirty clothes by the door so that he remembered to have them all washed later. And now, he would get all this damn mud off of him. Because even under his clothes, there was a good bit of mud. Luckily for him, hotels come equipped with their own bathroom, and this one had a rather large bathtub. He wondered if its because he got a luxury suite. Probably.
Of course, before he even got close, someone knocked on his door. Joshua slammed the floor in frusteration, and went back to the door to see who it was. It was a cleaning lady, here to take the laundry and would return it a few hours later. This Joshua was okay with, mainly because all of his clothes had so much mud on them, you could not see their original color at the moment.
And now, to attend to his own issue. At least while he could. Because who knows what that one employee would do.
Joshua was not happy right now. Yes, he had arrived at the town of Parkwood. But he was practically covered in mud. This was not pleasant to him. "Next time, I should get lucky by gaining the ability to fly or something. If only it worked like that" Joshua mentioned.
The first thing that caught his eye was the hotel. He REALLY needed a bath. And he was like, eleven or twelve, he kept forgetting which, at least mentally. So he normally hated baths. But he hated being covered in mud even more. Plus, the mud smelled. Though at least he knew that there was no way the wolves could have tracked him. He smelled completely like mud. If a wolf could follow that, they might actually deserve to catch him. Emphasis on might.
When Joshua entered the hotel, immediately most eyes were on him. Which made it easier to mesmer every single person in the room. TO everyone else, they would see two parents walking with him. The receptionist would check them in using "their" credit card, when it was actually the credit card of their own, once the receptionist actually arrived. He also put in a sort of block, so the receptionist would be unable to perceive the bill, yet still pay it. That mesmer ability is probably the main defense mechanism of any Lynxcroft. They could turn a whole police precinct into their guards, provided every cop was a human. Of course, that was ill advised, because having a whole police precinct not working properly is like setting up a beacon saying "Hi, look at me, I am right here! Look at me!" And a single werewolf could take out police easily. So no one ever did that. Though he did hear about one who had the NYPD brass all under his spell for two decades.
Anyways, with that done, Joshua got his key and started to head up to his room, when one of the hotel workers intercepted him. "Alright kid, who are you, what are you, and why are you here?"
The fact this guy was not affected by the mesmer made it clear he wasn't human. Which complicated things to some ungodly degree. No one in the main lobby would even remember him properly, but this guy might. Still, if he got out of this without admitting he was a Lynxcroft, this could work without him having to kill this guy or run again. "My name is Joshua. The second question is none of your damn business, because I am probably just passing through for a few weeks. Now, let me go, or I will break your arm" he told the man, grabbing his arm with his free hand and squeezing down, watching as this one guy's face become filled with pain.
"Alright, alright!" he said, releasing Joshua. "You made your...."
As he was backing up, the man slipped and fell to the ground, hitting his head and knocking him out. "Right, concussion. Well, he should get short term memory loss from that".

Eida & Alec
As Eida lifted the spoon into her mouth, the first thing she actually became aware of was the overwhelming sounds of her Aunt's boots crashing against the stairs; having been living with Alexis for as long as she could remember, Eida knew instantly that this was not a good sign. The lack of colour on her brother's face only confirmed it, really. They were both about to get one hell of a tongue-lashing. Alec practically threw his body out the doorway, only a second before Alexis entered the kitchen. Eida stood in complete silence as Alexis questioned her, before she shrugged her shoulders subtly, expression one of innocent fear. "Well... not now," she huffed, struggling to get the words out with a full mouth. Alec didn't bother contributing to the conversation. Instead, he turned and set the empty bowl into the sink, watching as his sister set her bowl down on the kitchen counter. It was a while before anyone said anything, but they both spun around to stare at Alexis when they heard the sound of glass shattering against the kitchen floor. In the next second she was gone, and the siblings were left stunned.
Another few moments passed by, with Eida making her way out of the kitchen just as an unfamiliar girl rang the bell in the lobby. Eida's eyes travelled to her almost immediately; she didn't recognise her from school. In this same second, one of Alec's friends entered and began to call for him. Eida lost interest pretty quickly, and instead turned towards the girl from before. Her grandmother wasn't around, and probably wouldn't come downstairs before this little encounter became awkward, so Eida simply stepped behind the counter. With her arms raised to rest her elbows on the wood, and her chin resting in her hands, Eida smiled. "How many I help you then, Miss..?" she asked, pausing. All the while, Alec had begun to walk towards his friend, a rather serious expression painted onto his features. He didn't bother sitting down beside her, but merely shot her a quick glance again. "We should go," he mumbled, temporarily distracted by the couple who came in, "before my weird ass family finds one more way to completely confuse and/or annoy me this morning." With that, Alec began to make his way towards the door, retrieving an umbrella from the holder to the side of it. He flicked the little tab once he was outside, and raised it above his head.
Alex
Alex's gaze was dragged upwards from his desk as a sudden burst of power became noticeable to him suddenly. Not only that, but it was located directly in front of him. It took a while for Alex's mind to register that he was seeing his daughter, Alex. She must have teleported, or some other method of travel, because otherwise he would've sensed her coming down the hall. But, at that moment, her transportation as the least of his concerns. His daughter, his actual daughter, was stood before him, staring at him. Alex was silent under her stare, until a look of realisation crossed her features and immediately his own gaze travelled to the girl sat in the room. She didn't seem to phased, as she went back to reading her book quietly and without much fuss.
Alex released an audible sigh, but didn't speak for a while, until... "You're probably waiting for an explanation," he murmured, as his hands busily worked to set out pieces of paper, textbooks and other such items which had been provided for him upon accepting the job. He glanced briefly at one of the books and snorted his amusement aloud. Othello, one of Shakespeare's great tragedies, and thoroughly unenjoyable to read. "I'm not going to go into details," he continued, pausing briefly to examine a piece of paper which he lifted to his face, before letting it drop to the desk, "but the last three years have been... interesting. I came to a realisation, it would seem, that this world is terribly divided... This world is a horrible place of war, of death and destruction. I think you'd be proud to know your old man is working to change that." He looked up then, an unsettling smile working its way across his lips. Every now and then, he would glance at the other girl, but she seemed to have placed some headphones in her ears, so Alex had no reason to hold back. Of course, there was another girl who had entered, but he could've sensed her power from a mile away. He ignored her greeting, too involved in his own conversation to bother replying.
"Anyhow," he started again, not giving Alexis the time to respond fully to the information which he'd admitted so willingly to her. Alexis was a special, special girl, and Alex needed her. Revealing every little detail right now would be a catastrophic error; she most likely wouldn't agree with him, and that would push them further apart. "I'll pop by the hotel today for a little visit, if you'd like... I do hope your mother hasn't missed me terribly." Alex had - by this point - finished setting his desk up, therefore allowing him to pay full attention to his daughter.
Kellin
Kellin was forced to loosen the grip of his thick arms as he felt Lexi beginning to turn under his weight. It wasn't until she came to be facing towards him that his hands instinctively moved to her hips, dragging her body closer to his and holding it there as she spoke. His eyes, which had previously been trailing her lips, flickered up to meet her gaze. A rather playful smirk slipped across his lips, though his stare was serious and a heavy frown still weighed upon his brows; the combination made him look almost menacing. As Lexi leaned in to kiss him, Kellin was more than prepared for the onslaught that was due to come. So absorbed in this kiss was he that he barely took notice of the fact that she was pulling away until he felt her teeth nicking at his lower lip, drawing out a throaty growl.
She was probably feeling proud of herself for that little move. Kellin wanted her; of course he did. Who wouldn't? Kellin's eyes opened and trailed her features once more, though this time his expression was one of utter frustration. Instead of catching on her lips, like his gaze usually would, it instead travelled down to her neck. One of the hands located on her lip flashed towards her hair, allowing him to grab a fistful of it in his over-sized hand. Still staring at her neck, he yanked her hair back, revealing it to him, whilst all the while shuffling them backwards until they hit the nearest wall. And, instead of biting into her like he thought would've, he fought against the urge and simply began to trail kisses from her jaw to the endpoint of the neck. Rather aggressively, Kellin released Lexi's hair and used the hand on her hip to shove her to the side. "Damn it," he muttered, raising a hand to touch his lower lip, his smirk returning so suddenly that he surprised even himself.
Glancing about, he huffed. "Is Logan around?" he asked, still keeping his smirk.
Scavenger
Upon entering the classroom, Scavenger took notice of how boringly average the people around her were. Most of them weren't even supernatural, so she had no one to play with... However, she did manage to spot a few girls wandering about which caught her interest. Sitting on the desk, facing the front of the classroom, Scavenger playfully grabbed at a few of them that passed her by, eliciting a few stunned squeals. One or two of them moved instinctively to their boyfriend, who would give her a brief earful about boundaries before storming off again. Scavenger's only response was to laugh and shrug it off, before targeting the next girl with an even higher sense of eagerness than before. That was, until Scavenger's eyes caught sight of Ashley wandering through the doorway. With a devilish grin, Scavenger raised her arm and gestured as if to call her over.
"Well, look at you, attending college, being a good little girl," Scavenger cooed, mockingly. Upon closer inspection, Ashley didn't look too happy, but Scavenger was hoping to change that... Although, teasing her wasn't exactly the best way to go about doing it. "You okay?"
"Anyhow," He said, continuing . "I'll pop by the hotel today for a little visit, if you'd like... I do hope your mother hasn't missed me terribly."
Alexis gaped at him. "You're kidding right? Missed you?"She said, her head cocked in confusion, something she got from her mother. She looked at the girl the one with the book and the other that had just entered. " Yea, Get out." she told them both. The light haired one looked new and it was likely she didn't know who Alexis was, nor how dangerous her mood could be, but the other one did, and she got up and left without a word.
She turned back to her father. "She's been a fucking wreck, Dad. You left...after Slade died....You remember, the one that was born with Symone. Which seems to be the only one you fucking care about..." She said, turning away. "She goes to give grave everyday, that's where she is right now....hoping he'll come back, but he won't, we all know that, but since her fucking husband left, she had no one but me, to help her with her grief, and frankly I don't know how to help her....She needed you, I needed you and fucking bailed. But After three years, you'll 'pop' by later....Thanks for that." She said, feeling pressure behind her eyes. She'll be damned if she cried though. "Ya know even Symone came a few times, just to check on us, but not you..." She and turned her head toward him. "Fuck the world, The world doesn't even know you, it doesn't need you....We do, I do."
Sunday stood nervously outside of the hotel. She knew what she was supposed to do, but she was nervous. After watching for so long, she didn't know what to do if and when it came time to actually speak to him.
But she had to, General Davenport and her mother said she did, and she didn't want to disappoint them...again. Her mother would send her down with them again, and they hurt her, they hurt her, over and over again, they didn't care.
Sunday rubbed the tears from her eyes, but as she did so, she heard a sudden pop, and there he was. Standing before her, with an umbrella in hand.
Alec Iris.
She was supposed to get close to him...and she wanted to, but not because of her mother, or General Davenport, but because she was in love with him and had been since the moment, she laid eyes on him.
She looked up at him wide eyed, a thick bangs hanging in front of her eyes.
Say something! She heard her mother call in her head, but she knew it wasn't her. Her mother wasn't watching.
"Um....Hi?" She peeped, nervously.
It has only been a couple of minutes and Ashley was already trying to think of ways to get herself suspended from his place. Of all the places she needed to be, this place was not one of them. She ran her fingers through her hair before gazing down at her phone. Nothing. Looking up she saw Scavenger gesturing for her to walk over. For a moment she hesitated, but she eventually made her way over. Ashley was rather found of this girl even though she didn't trust Scavenger. But Ashley doesn't really trust anyone. "Well, look at you, attending college, being a good little girl," Ashley rolled her eyes and placed a hand on her hip. "And look at you. Annoying me so early in the morning." the gal retorted. Then the same teasing girl asked if Ashley was okay. Did Ashley look upset? She would need to work on her facial expressions when she thought about Victoria. She doesn't want the world to be able to read her. "Yeah I'm fine." She adjusted so that she was leaning against the desk. "Remind me why we show up here again?"
Amorie felt like she was waiting forever and almost texted Alec again for him to rush his but down the steps. But she heard Eida greet the girl in the front which meant Alec wasn't so far behind. When she saw him, she smiled. When he saw her, he was suggesting they leaved this instant. Amorie stood up and rolled her eyes. "Good morning to you too." She muttered. Pocketing her phone, she followed him out of the hotel while avoiding the family that had wandered in. She placed herself underneath the umbrella next to him while adjusting her backpack. "I was thinking after school we have a sleepover. My dad is leaving me alone again and I don't want to be alone while ghost beg for my help." She said. But then a girl appeared before them so they stopped. The girl was staring, almost admiring Alec. Amorie just stood there, awkwardly, rocking back and forth on her heels.
Ereida sat by Simon's lifetree. It was still as large and as thick as it's always been but he was still gone. He hadn't returned, years it's been, and nothing. Yet, Erieda wouldn't give up on him, not her son. He was her first born, and while she loved all of her childern, she felt an instant connection to him. He was the one that clung to her, when Symone clung to her father. Erieda never took it negatively, she was fine with that, Simon was more Fae than he was Wraith, same as Symone was more Wraith then Fae. Alexis, their youngest, was something else entirely.
Erieda had lost all over her children at one point in time. Symone was killed by Alex by mistake, Alexis died once during her birth, which gave her, her odd abilities, and now Simon, only this time, Simon has yet to return. She knew he would, one day, he had too. He was too much like her and she was called Erieda the Unkillable.
Now all she had was Alexis, Alex was gone, and honestly, Erieda blamed herself, she'd been so greif stricken after Simon that she felt she may have pushed her husband away. She loved him dearly, she did, but the loss of her son consumed her.
She made so many mistakes, she didn't know where to begin with fixing them.

Lexi Vincent
&
Logan Vincent
A sultry grin spread across Lexi's face, revealing her pearly whites, as Kellin growled, she like all Sirens, could feel the desire welling in him and, had she not of been a siren, the pressure starting to push against her hip would have given it away anyway. She watched as his eyes started looking over her, his face revealed to her how much more, shall we say, stressed he was. Her tongue wet her lips as she watched Kellin staring at her neck, she began to chew her inner lip, not because she was scared but she wanted to know if her desire for pain was as much inward as it was outward, afterall, he didn't seem to want to break her and therefore seemed to be holding back on her, much to her chargrin. Then she felt the pressure of his hand against her lip lift and suddenly there was a sharp and long pain coming from her scalp as her blonde lockes became entwisted in his large and tightly fisted hand, a soft pur escaping her lips as he pulled it hard enough for her neck to become angled and exposed.
All while being forced against a wall, her back meeting the cold wall with a little force and her mouth open and revealing her longing for another kiss, as he moved in Lexi's legs and fingers got a little tingly, for once he was finally going to bite her, she tightened the pressure of her hands against his throat as he leaned in, but when he started kissing her neck instead, a sigh was released, not a bored sigh, she loved when he neck was touched, and loved it more when it was adorned with kisses, but something about it disappointed her when she had built herself up for a bite, but she rolled her eyes before Kellin had a chance to react and played the sigh off as a pleasurable sigh, he'd know about it later, she loved to give him critisms.
Before long she was shoved to the side, and not too gently either, Lexi flashed him a glare but it very quickly turned to a cheeky smirk as she watched him touch his lower lip and smirking himself.
"Has that ever bothered you before?" She ran a finger from his shoulder downwards, before it reached his waist she had taken a few steps away and the finger simply trailed a pattern in the air. "From what I remember you liked to show off... the maids were ever so jealous." She teased him as she leant against the bannister for the grand staircase. "And I imagine the grand poster bed needs some testing anyway." She then turned to walk up the stairs. "But then again, most of the rooms need testing too."
Logan got a shiver up his spine as a wave of desire flooded the nearby area, without needing to investigate he assumed it was Kellin and he let an exhasperated sigh flee his mouth as his eyes rolled back into his skull, not 2 seconds into moving in and already Lexi is trying to mark her territory. Logan grabbed the jacket he had just slung over the bed not a second ago and threw it back on, he made his leaving fairly obvious, as he passed the pair, Lexi leaning over the bannister and Kellin looking at her in frustration.
"Don't worry, I'm leaving." He told them, as if he'd read their minds. "Just stay out of my room and my ensuite, and the kitchen... You know I will know... you two leave the foulest trace of desire." He heard Lexi chuckle like a siren did, sweet and sultry, as he left the mansion in search of something interesting. He could find his aunt and ask her if she knew of anything interesting, but, unlike Lexi, he didn't much get on with his father's side of the family, just like his mum, or he could go for a wander in the forest, the forest would be much more interesting... After a few seconds of deciding, he decided to head into the forest.
Elena couldn't help thinking it was a pretty crazy morning. She could hear people moving around on the upper floors, and could identify at least one pair of heavy boots thumping down stairs. The noise almost gave her a headache. She pressed three fingers to her forehead for a second to relieve the pressure slightly. It helped, but she decided she had to get used to it.
It didn't take long for someone to arrive. In fact, three people arrived at the same time. From behind her, a girl with blonde hair entered the way Elena had come in, and started shouting for someone. Elena winced, but once again realized that she would just have to get used to the noise and hubbub of every day life. From somewhere behind the receptionist's desk, a girl and boy emerged, both with black hair that was darker than Elena's, and skin that appeared to match hers in tone. She gave a grateful smile at their arrival. The whole situation was very slightly overwhelming for her.
The girl stepped behind the counter, looking very relaxed. Elena returned her smile, albeit somewhat awkwardly, and rubbed her shoulder unconsciously, out of habit. She inhaled through her nose as the girl asked her, "How many I help you then, Miss..?" Elena hesitated, before quickly realizing that she needed to provide her name. "Oh! It's, um, Elena. Elena Halliwell. I am right in thinking this is the hotel, right?" She asked, stammering a lot in anxiety. "I just, ah, need a place to stay." She rubbed her shoulder again, before giving the girl an awkward smile once again. "Ah, I'm sorry, it's just been such a long time since I've actually talked to someone." She finished, laughing it off. She hoped that her nerves hadn't gotten the best of her, and she huffed out a sigh in relief.
Just then, a young boy entered the hotel. His parents followed shortly after, but something about them was off. The boy's parents seemed odd, as if they were on a screen and being affected by white noise. She studied them carefully as they walked past, but she mostly studied the young boy. He was completely covered in mud, as if he'd stumbled through a swamp on his way. The mud reeked, as if it were covering something up, but Elena dismissed that. He was a small child, he most likely had just played somewhere he maybe shouldn't have. She shook her head again, and turned back to the girl in front of her.
"So, um, what's your name?" She forced out, trying to break the ice a little, and maybe even make an acquaintance. She couldn't help but sweep around the lobby once more, taking in everything. There were a few things that hung on the wall that she couldn't name, like the ticking machine with numbers 1 through to 12 around it, or the small oblong thing on the desk in front of her with numbers 0 to 9 on, a hashtag, and another button that appeared to look like the handle of the gadget. She couldn't help but wonder what they did. If it wasn't obvious that she hadn't had much human contact before, it definitely was now. She sighed once more, hoping and praying internally that the girl wasn't human, either. It would make things simpler that way. It might even make it easier to explain herself. She sighed, staring at her feet, before looking up and giving the girl one final smile, before wrapping her arms across her stomach in an attempt to pull herself together.
Alex
Alex didn't quite know how to respond to Alexis' response, although he'd half expected her to be so incredulous about his passivity towards abandoning them those three years ago. Still, he remained completely silent as she told the blonde who had entered to leave. Scoffing a little, he gave a glance towards her, but said nothing in objection. He feared doing anything to the contrary would only worsen his daughter's mood, and that was something Alexander always tried to avoid. Often times he would think that her temper was even worse than his own, which was saying something. As, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Alexis turn back to him, and his eyes widened for less than a second before his brows lowered in a frown. He was trying his best to stay focused, but it was becoming a much more difficult task.
As Alexis continued on, Alex found himself becoming more and more confused. After Slade died, he repeated in his mind. After Slade died? That wasn't how he recalled the events at all. In his own mind, Slade had died one year after he'd disappeared. In actual fact, Slade had come looking for him after some time, furious, to see why Alex had abandoned his wife. It was a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time; Slade has overheard a conversation which he really shouldn't have, and while Alex was entirely prepared to explain himself, Scavenger was not. She cut him down one night as he walked around in the forests surrounding the hotel, and taken his body for good measure. She'd claimed she'd done it for Alex, to preserve his secret, but he was furious. Not long after, before the body began to decompose, he ordered one of his best Necromancers to bring his son back; Alex had never been a fan of Slade, but at the end of the day they were family.
While he reflected upon these events, Alex barely noticed how his daughter prattled on. It was only when his eyes came into focus that he noticed the distressed expression she held on her face, and he could've sworn she was about to cry. But, no, that wasn't Alexis. She didn't cry; she got angry. Her finishing sentence was enough to curl Alex's fists into tight balls, but he immediately unclenched and shook his head slowly, eyes lowered. The world doesn't even know you, it doesn't need you... The words replayed in Alex's mind like a broken record. When he raised his head again, his eyes were dark and muted, as opposed to their usual stunning blue. He tried his best to push past it, but the words left his lips before he could stop them, though he managed to dull them down into a hollow mutter. He repeated them, once... twice... His eyes refocused and found Alexis', and it was upon this that he took a breath, before exhaling a soft, drawn-out sigh.
"Slade's not dead," he finally said, lowering himself down into his chair with hesitant, jittery movements. "Well... He is, but not entirely... You see, when I discovered that he was murdered, I was outraged. I... brought him back, from the dead. Or, a Necromancer did." He paused briefly. "It was explained to me that Slade would be able to walk around and act like he normally did, but for a long time he wouldn't be able to leave the Realm he'd been resurrected in, or even communicate with those from another Realm. He was, at the time, in the Wraith Realm." Alex leaned over his desk, pressing his hand to his forehead as another disgruntled sigh broke through his pursed lips. He shook his head some more, before glancing up. He lifted himself up almost immediately and walked around the desk until he was facing Alexis properly. "You must understand... I never meant to hurt anyone. Leaving was not my intention... It was not my choice," Alex continued, visibly shuddering upon the last few words, as if merely recalling the memory of the events which he endured was painful enough to side-track him. Regardless, he persisted on with strained, uneasy vocals. "I love you... I love your mother... And I'm here now. I'm..." He glanced about. "I'm here."
Alec
Alec held the umbrella above his head, huffing as he eyed the grey skies and rain which threatened to completely ruin his day, more so than his family already had. He waited until Amorie stepped through the door and joined him to start on forward. Craning his neck around to listen to her as she spoke, Alec snorted his amusement aloud, having almost forgotten what this girl did for a living. Being the Grim Reaper, he had once thought, must've been a pretty cool job, but after meeting and befriending Amorie, he was beginning to change his views on that. He'd heard often of her sleepless nights and awkward encounters, and he was not shy about admitting that he felt somewhat bad for her. But, at the end of the day, Amorie seemed like a cool girl. He flashed her a subtle smile, nodding. "Oh, yeah, sure thing. But, eh, not here... At yours?" he asked, but his smile quickly dropped as he noticed that she'd stopped, and he did so too. Turning around, he finally caught sight of what had halted his friend. A girl, around his age, stood in the rain... Was she... She was wearing a Gothic Lolita-styled dress. How odd.
When the unknown girl peeped a greeting, Alec offered her a distant, effortless smile which he would usually give to new people, a stark contrast to the playful grins and obnoxious smirks he would shoot at his closer friends. Saying nothing at first, his eyes trailed her outfit once more, and he cocked his head to one side in a way that suggested curiosity, though his eyes were cold and disinterested. "If you're looking for a place to stay, my sister's dealing with customers inside. But, regardless, you should get inside, lest you catch a cold... Why the hell did you leave the house in a dress on a day like this?" he continued on, keeping his vocals soft as possible, even though his question was rather intrusively forward. Extending his arm, he reached for her hand, aiming to pull her under the umbrella until she answered. He gave a quick glance to Amorie, almost as if apologising for the distraction on their journey to the school, before focusing once again on the girl.
Scavenger
Scavenger nodded absentmindedly at Ashley's response. Even though she didn't truly believe it, she was in no position to pester the girl. Despite being her superior in terms of Remei ranking, she had found it incredibly hard to give her orders, now and in the past. There was just something about this girl that caught Scavenger off guard every time she saw her. It was odd, and incredibly hard to put into words, but it was there and it was real, albeit slightly confusing. Running a hand through her black hair, she gave out a short huff.
Scavenger's eyes settled on Ashley's movements as she shifted to lean against the desk, which caused the short-haired girl to smirk slightly. "Because, my dear, we're Alex's eyes and ears around this place now," she replied, having leaned in and settled her voice into a hushed whisper. "Which, in a lot of ways, makes us the important ones." Scavenger leaned back after a few moments and gave a wink to the dark-skinned girl stood before her, eyes glinting with a mischievous playfulness that she held only for Ashley. Releasing an unintelligible sound, Scavenger positioned her hands behind her, allowing her to lean back a little; she finally allowed her eyes to wander away from Ashley's form, having spotted another girl walking through the door. This one, she thought, was interesting. Giving a playful growl as she passed by, Scavenger once again attempted to reach for the girl, and was not surprised to feel her hand being slapped away, though the girl did not look at all frightened or even shocked. Scavenger gave a laugh, while the girl took her seat only a few desks away.
"Gah, the girls here are usually so timid," she remarked with a sigh, shifting her gaze back to Ashley. "This sucks, though... I knew Alex was going to send you, but I wouldn't even have to be here if Kellin ever bothered to do his damn job properly." She absentmindedly flicked some rubber shavings from the small area of desk near her hand.
Slade
Each and every day, Slade began to feel sensations; whether it was a tingling in his fingertips or the prick of a blade against his skin, every single feeling gave him reason to believe that his Life Tree was healing his deceased form, and slowly returning him to life. Today, he knew, was a particularly special day for everyone. They'd all gone back to Parkwood. Being the naïve little creatures that they were, they had no real clue that Slade had quite recently recovered the ability to open portals. It was only today that he'd actually managed to stick a hand through without feeling like his skin was on fire and mere seconds away from blistered. Today, it felt normal... He was becoming normal again.
Staring at the portal before him, a grin broke out across his lips, brightening his features. It was an odd thing, smiling... He hadn't done so in such a long time that it felt a little unnatural. Part of him wondered whether he was even doing it right. Shifting his gaze right, he stared curiously into the mirror of his bedroom within the Wraith Realms main Castle. Yup... you look like a maniac right now, he thought, seemingly to himself. He relaxed his features, letting the unintentionally crazed grin drop from his lips. Before he knew what was happening, his legs were carrying his entire weight towards the portal. Only a few seconds later, he was being pulled through.
He felt the cold air of the human Realm hit him like a brick, and he tumbled backwards slightly. The portal by this point had closed, and so he was at no threat of being pulled back through. He could smell the rain lingering in the air, but he was in the forest so he was shielded from the moisture that threatened to dampen his hair and clothes. He could sense home. He knew he was near the hotel. Turning around, he spotted an all-too-familiar figure, sat down by what he quickly realised was his Life Tree. Figures the portal would've taken him straight here. But, that was the least of his worries. "Mom," he blurted, vocals cracking a little as if he was experiencing a strong flurry of emotions. Happiness, relief... sadness. She looked so broken, even from here. "Mommy," he repeated, his legs failing under him. He dropped to his knees.
Kellin
Kellin's eyes were focused on Lexi as she spoke, his single-minded desire corrupting every single muscle of his body. Oddly, he reminded himself of a lion, crouching in the tall grass as it watches its prey. A predator, waiting for its dinner ever-so patiently. As she continued to speak, Kellin failed to grab onto the words, and so they did not register in his mind for the longest time. The only thing he took real notice of was the way she moved closer and trailed her finger down his chest, but moved away before she reached his waistband. He had half a mind to grab her there and then, but he had a feeling that she wanted to continue on playing her little games for a bit, so he patiently obliged. That was, until she turned to walk away, and Kellin heard himself growling, low and teasing, as he started to follow after her.
It was then that Logan's voice became audible to him, and he snapped his head around to shoot the lad a glare. Again, much like a lion who had been interrupted during its hunt, and almost cheated of his prey. But this lion was a persistent one, and so he immediately returned his focus to Lexi, a visible shiver running down his spine as her laugh filled the silence. This time, he didn't stop walking; he moved towards her with his usual Vamp-like quickness and grabbed her by the hips once more, but instead of pushing her to a wall like he thought he would have, he slid his hands around and down the back of her legs, gripping onto them as he lifted her up and positions them around his waist. He then immediately wrapped his thick arms around her waist and sent his lips crashing into hers, unsteadily climbing the stairs as he did so.
Part of him knew that Lexi wouldn't have minded the rough, forceful nature of his desires, but this entire deal was still new to him. He'd spent the larger majority of his teen life bedding ordinary mortal women, and so suddenly not having to hold back was strange. Part of him didn't want too hurt her too much, and other parts of him were animalistic and cruel in their intentions. As he reflected upon this, he quickly registered that they were moving down one of the hallways rather quickly, and he burst through a random door. It probably wasn't the room Lexi had initially suggested, but that mattered little to Kellin. Entering the room, he finally released his grip, pushing her by the hips off of himself and onto the bed. His eyes were cruel and lacked humanity as he stared down at the blonde, still growling.
Eida
Eida almost chuckled at the girl's awkward response as she finally offered up her name. Elena, she repeated, how lovely. As the girl's next question came, Eida simply nodded her head, choosing not to comment on her nervousness. "The only one for miles," she replied. Lifting her elbows off of the counter, she flipped open the book which sat - old and dusty - in front of her. When she found the page she was looking for, she reached for a pen from one of the pots, but didn't write anything just yet. As the girl spoke of her need for a place to stay, Eida lowered the pen to the book and scribbled Elena's name in one of the free spaces. As such, she completely missed the smile offered to her, and only glanced up once Elena continued on. "Ah, no worries. I don't judge," she said, though her words mixed with a gentle chuckle as a soft smile worked to lift the corners of her lips. "But, yeah, sure. You're welcome to stay here for as long as you need. And, uh, we can sort the payment out when you leave..." Eida continued on, though she quickly realised that the girl's focus had been placed elsewhere, so she simply turned to retrieve a key from one the hooks on the wall behind her. It was a small thing, golden, with the number '5' engraved into it.
When Elena asked for her name, Eida smiled brilliantly, setting the key down on the counter in front of the girl. "My name is Eida Iris," she replied, her tone cheery as she flopped backwards into the black computer chair. "My grandmother owns this hotel," she continued on, hands finding their place on her knees as she spoke. She thought briefly about her grandmother, Erieda, who was most likely sat near Simon's Life Tree, as she often did. Eida worried about her grandmother, in all honesty, but had gone with her a few times just to keep her company. Alexis took care of her, mostly, but Eida helped out when she was needed. This train of thought came across as an absentminded stare. It was only upon refocusing that something painfully obvious occurred to her, and it caused her to stand up again and peer curiously over the counter. "You didn't bring any luggage?" she asked, her tone suggesting that she was suddenly quite wary, though her expression remained passive.
Emily was back. Not for the first time and not for the last time. The girl was known to disappear, wonder and travel as she pleased and why shouldn't she? She had nothing tying her down, no one limiting her- there wasn't one thing to restrain her from doing something. She was as free as an individual could be.
She'd travelled for two days on the trip home and she paced through the slight drizzle now only a few meters from her final destination. A shady and wide, black hat hung just slightly over the edge of her head, tossing darkness over the side of her face. Emily's lush long locks were down one shoulder, naturally waved and slightly damp in parts, though she was some how, mostly dry. With her free hand, she bore a dying cigarette, which she was lamely trying to protect from the moist air. She dragged the smoke up to her lips and held it between her teeth for a second as she adjusted her hat and took a slow drag, she took the poison back between her fingers and opened her mouth, exhaling the relaxing fume into the atmosphere. If you excused the smoking, as ever Emily looked like a young woman of class but you'd have to forgive her dress sense because as ever, it was slightly juvenile but at the same time fashionable and quirky. It was safe to say, Emily left an impression and always made some kind of statement.
Emily had been off the radar for a few months, approximately four and half but it was hard to tell when exactly she'd left considering she never told anyway, she just went. She hadn't bothered to contact anyone, she had few friends here, mainly Eida but there was no other permanent friendship that she tried to maintain over time. She figured her absence would barely have been noticed but still with a mischievous smile she made her way up towards the hotel.
She considered the hotel to be her home, considering she rarely spent a night anywhere else unless she was out of town but she was still fairly unknown, mysterious and low-profile amongst other locals and hotel residents. Though looking up at the building she valued as much as her true home, a calm but content expression took her face.
She walked forwards with long, graceful strides. She wore heeled boots on her legs with grey tights and a bohemian style dress and a long, well-fitted, dark leather jacket covered her long and slim arms which swayed slightly with the movement of holding her bag. Her tall toned figure marched with a certain amount of stature and undeniable elegance until she was close enough to knock her fist against the door, just twice before she patiently waited. Breathing the damp air slowly, she dropped her cigarette into a corner and stamped it out cautiously but as she stared at the door, she took a moment to appreciate how nice it was to be back, although she adored travelling it was a lonely world to explore alone and even if she was rather anonymous here, there was still a certain amount of security about the place and people who resided within it. Maybe it was they way they could all relate or their ability to understand one another but whatever it was, Emily was grateful for it.
She eventually let herself in and she strode inside and gave a bright grin at everyone in the front hall as she swept her hat off of her head and rest it on her bag by her feet. She looked at the room and swiftly ran a hand through her hair as she stared forwards, turning her gaze over every wall.
"Hello?"
Ashley secretly hated working for Alex. It was not because she had a problem with Alex because she didn't. In fact they got along fairly well when they were both having a good day. But taking orders from people is something that she despises. Even getting training from him and Scavenger was pretty much hell. It has made her a better fighter and such, but if she could have found a way to do all that by herself she would have. And she was sent to this cursed college because of Alex. Being his eyes and ears was a sacrifice on her life. Especially because Ashley was avoiding the people that he needed to be watching. Scavenger referred to them as the more important ones and she just rolled her eyes. Ashley just ignored the wink and grin. They weren't important. They were pawns in a game of chess. Unfortunately that game is also just another step to the ultimate win. Which Ashley wasn't even clear on. Ashley only joined Remei because Victoria works closely with them. She just wanted to get close to her. But that hasn't gotten her anywhere yet.
More people walked into the classroom and Ashley just glared at them. They looked happy to be here and Ashley has yet to find anything good about this place. Except maybe for Scavenger, but Ashley would never say that allowed. Scavenger might have been cute, but not even her grin was going to make this place seem anymore pleasant. Crossing her arms, another girl walked in and Scavenger took it upon herself to try and grab at her. The girl swatted her away which received a soft giggle from Ashley. "Gah, the girls here are usually so timid," "It's funnier when you get rejected though" She said. Ashley brushed the ends of her hair off her shoulder before recrossing her arms. "This sucks, though... I knew Alex was going to send you, but I wouldn't even have to be here if Kellin ever bothered to do his damn job properly." Her dark brown eyes immediately looked over to the dark haired beauty. She knew Alex was going to send her here. And on top of that, she might of had Kellin here with her. Ashley is only nice to him because she has to be. "So you were just going to let me be at this damn school all by myself?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
Lexi Vincent
Lexi relished in all of the sounds and movements Kellin did, they all revealed how frustrated he was and it made her all the more giddy, her playful teasing and sultry smirk were all to show her desire, and he could just seem them as simple fun and games, put really they hid a sinister want to play, like a cat did with a mouse.
Lexi hadn't noticed Kellin making his way towards her, she hated it when he used his supernatural speed, how can a cat play with the mouse when the mouse disappears on it. But the confusion did last long, as she felt pressure against her hips and followed by a graceful slide of his hand down to which she found herself elevated, her legs automatically wrapping themselves around his waists, even if he had his hand forcing her to do it, it would have happened even if he didn't have his hand guiding her thighs. He hands quickly moved up to his neck and craddled his face as they kissed, she didn't even notice he was moving until she was thrown from his body and landed on the soft mattress.
She looked at the room she was now in, everything was white, but with how these two got on, it wouldn't be for very long. Sitting up, Lexi threw her legs behind her so as she was on all fours and crawled closer towards the frustrated hybrid, his growl would have intimidated most but Lexi wasn't afraid of him nearly as much as she should have been. Her crawl towards him was like that of a lioness, proud, confident and graceful, when she was closer to him she snarled before using her teeth to unzip his jacket, having down that she lifted herself up, sitting back on her knees she pulled him in for a kiss and slowly pulled him on top of her, the shirt she wore she didn't particularly care for and so ripped it off herself, without care for the buttons coming detached or the fabric tearing, she simply tossed it aside and eased herself out of the jeans, they were a nice pair of jeans afterall.
She then looked at his clothes, his clothes she didn't care about at all and so tore his shirt, her nails elongating and sharpening to rip the fabric with ease, her taloned finger now running down his defined torso as she went back to kissing him, he could take his jeans off himself.
After the both having stripped to there underwear, Lexi flipped them over, had he been expecting it, Kellin wouldn't have been movable, but Lexi had the element of both surprise and timing. She went to plant a kiss on his neck and started kissing over his torso and as she reached the waistline she stopped and returned to his neck, her human teeth slightly longer and sharper, slowly but surely starting to resemble her dragon teeth, where instead of kissing him, she nibbled him a little. "If you aren't going to bite me, maybe I'll just have to bite you." She teased as she straightened up and looked down to observe his expression, she'd gotten a taste of his blood and for some reason was enticed to take more, a slight blood frenzy boiling in her, confusing her, she wasn't a vampire, she was merely a Siren with dragon teeth.
Without warning the door clicked open and one of the two maids walked in, unaware of the pair there. In her sexual ferocity, Lexi pounced onto her, her legs closed around her waste and her nails were clamped into the woman's shoulders, drawing blood, and in one swift motion, Lexi's head whipped around and her jaw closed around the woman's neck and ripped it open, blood spewing across the room and over Lexi as she relished in the warm liquid covering her body. It was then she realised, a dragon's bloody rage mixed with a Siren's desire, made for a slight blood desire during sexual congress. Lexi dropped to the floor with the woman and looked over her shoulder at Kellin, "You've had your starter," She ran a hand over her chest. "Now for the main..." She looked down at the woman beneath her, she was seemingly still alive, clutching at her neck to hold the blood in, "Humans, such a feeble race, trying to delay the inevitable." Lexi then forced the woman's hand from her neck and licked the blood from the fingers. "Only, good boys who eat their dinner get dessert." Lexi looked back over her shoulder, stretching out her free hand for Kellin to join her.
EDEN
Reaching the next class Eden saw there was more people here then her other class and a small smile lite up her face. A dark skinned woman and a short haired woman caught her eye as Eden saw the short haired one try to grab at a passing girl. But it was the dark skinned one that really grabbed Eden's attention. 'She's this generations Dragon Princess, how interesting' Eden thought, curious to see what she was like since Eden had only heard rumors of the current Royal family. With a smile she scrolled up to the two.
"Good morning, my names Eden and I'm new to town. Its a pleasure to meet you both" Eden said polity to the two women. She placed her bag and books on a nearby desk and sat down, hoping that the two of them won't mind if she sat by them. Eden slowly drifted into thought, reminding herself to both visit that hotel and drop some of her resumes off around town. Then afterwards she had to go grocery shopping, finish unpacking. Eden mentally groaned at the list of things she had to do. Just another boring day.
