Alex Davenport's Story

Alex shot up into a stand as Erieda entered the hotel, panic clear in his expression. "What was that?" She asked, causing Alex to groan and sit back down. "My Munin brother, Chris, decided to stop by and visit" He told her, trying his best not to stare and make her uncomfortable. It was then that Chris flashed back in, his expression angrier than it had been before. "I told you not to be so damned negative with your emotions!" He hissed. Alex flinched a little, but stood his ground. He didn't want to look like a coward.

Alex's expression went blank, he didn't want to reply at that time. Chris' gaze fell to Erieda, his glare growing more harsh, then to Belle, his glare becoming even harsher. "Well, isn't this pleasant?" He asked rhetorically, soon followed by an emotionless chuckle. Chris moved backwards and leaned against the desk, crossing his arms whilst his eyes didn't move from Erieda. He could understand why Alex had fallen for her, but Chris held no feelings for any human, despite how attractive they may be. "Alex needs to sort out his emotional issues, like now".

Cameron followed Erieda even though he never got to answer to what she said. Then he got there and of course there was a very strong presence that it made is dragon form seem small. “What the hell?” And a guy named Chris was there who apparently was the source of all this. Alex said it was his brother. “Can you control your aura, it’s giving me a headache.” Cameron said sitting down on the couch next to Belle. He did not like Munins at all.

Kristina wrapped her arms around Tommy’s neck happy with how he responded. Of course Kristina could feel the source of power as well, but it didn’t faze her as much as it did to Cameron. Hopefully it wasn’t going to faze Tommy.

Chris snorted at the new guy whom had entered. "If you can't handle it, go shoot yourself." He simply muttered. He knew this person wasn't necessarily a human, but he took on the form of one and that was good enough. "And, Erieda, barking at him is the only way to get this ignorant little twit to do what I ask. You've no right to tell me how to do my job".

Alex's fists tightened as he stood up, he couldn't take on Chris but he could still stand up to him... or so he thought. Chris caught onto what he was planning, so he lifted his hand up and flexed his fingers. Grass, leaves and roots started to form all over the ways, the roots curling around Alex's legs and arms. They pinned him to the wall. "Don't bother." Chris snapped. Alex sighed, his head dangling in embarrasment. He mimed 'I'm sorry' to Erieda, then shot an awkward glance at Cameron. Then it hit him, he'd tried to make a move on Erieda. He could feel the others scent clear on eachother.

Alex struggled and shifted to get free, his natural eyes turning into cloudy yellow orbs. This was a power he'd never felt before. He liked it. Chris immediatly strengthened the hold on Alex, squeezing him to the wall. "Hold up, little brother. Now's not the time to be releasing your true form, is it?" He asked, though his expression was as serious as it had ever been.

Chris did not yet have a true form, so if Alex shifted his power would be unimaginable compared to Chris'. Some of that power was leaking out, permeating the entire room. Alex snorted, "Let go of me" He shouted, his voice deeper and more rough than Corbin in his wolf form, which was extremely deep and rough. "No." Chris said. "Not yet anyway".

Chris' eyes locked onto Erieda. "My brother loves you, like really badly. I'm not sensing that connection with Belle, so I think he was extremely stupid for rejecting you like that. It's a Munin thing, we care about pride. Leaving one woman for another in our world is a strict crime, Alex is merely following those rules like some moronic no-brained twit. I apologise for his lack of respect, and ask only one thing of you; Don't give up on him".

It was then that Chris flashed out, his energy sucking itself away with his dissapearance. Alex dropped onto the couch, then onto the floor. He held his head in his palms, his knees curling into his chest. A much needed, strained cough shot from his lips. That much power being used against him was more painful than anything he'd ever experienced.

Cameron watched the whe thing go down and when Chris told him to go shoot his self Cameron almost got up, but Alex made that mistake first. Then Chris said that Alex loves Erieda and had no connection with Belle which explains a lot. When Chris flashed out, Cameron read Erieda's thoughts. "Are you okay?"

When Belle walked into the room and Tommy pulled away Kristina sighed. Belle really just interupted the moment, but she did not say anything to her best friend. "Yes Belle how can we help you?" She said with some sarcasm in her voice. Tommy stood up off the bed, probably because of that strong power. But now it was gone, but Kristina has a really big headache now. All the emotion from downstairs was givig her a hard time since she was trying to fight it.

Alex nodded, though he kept the same position for a while. He didn't want to get up, he couldn't get up. He felt like a useless coward that couldn't even stand up to his own brother. He somehow managed to rack up the nerve to removed his face from his palms, his cheeks burned brightly and his entire body felt like it was on fire. He took the glass of water and guzzled it down in seconds, gasping quietly when he'd finished.

He looked over at Cameron, "Can you just us a second, please?" He asked, his voice soft as he pleaded. He needed some alone time with Erieda to discuss what was happening, and Cameron being there would just bring a lot of unecessary sarcasm and awkwardness. He walked into the kitchen, gesturing for Erieda to follow.

"Listen, Erieda, I'm not going to go all 'You should forgive me and take me back because blah, blah, blah'. That's not how this works. If you never want anything to do with me again, then so be it, but I'll just have you know that I do love you, regardless of whether I stuck will Belle. Like Chris said, it's a Munin thing, and betraying a woman means losing all pride we hold, which is like.. really bad for us. Now I know Belle and I are over, I don't have to be confused or afraid anymore" He explained, speeding up his words as he felt two people drawing closer, one of them being Belle.

He took one of her hands in his, his fingers curling around hers, their palms touching. He just wanted to be close to her for a moment. "I couldn't live with myself thinking you didn't love me like I love you, y'know", his voice was smooth and gentle as the words spilled from his lips. A sharp pain jolted through his hand, causing him to stumble backwards and grunt. "Er.." He whispered, somewhat confused.

"By Thorn, you've done it!". The voice came thundering through Alex's ears as he spotted Chris stood behind Erieda. "I've done what?" He asked, arching a brow. "You've chosen your mate. Now all of your emotions will be under control and we don't have to get rid of anyone anymore. Well done, little brother!" He yipped, showing more emotion than he had previously around any of Alex's friends. Chris then dissapeared, leaving Alex with a horror stricken expression. His body as motionless as a statue.

Alex fought back a blush when she touched his face, the concern on her face assured him that she still cared, despite having her confess her love just a moment or two previous to that. "Say something." She urged him, and after a long lingering silence, his lips pursed and words began to form in his mind. But was taken off guard by the glowing of her hands, then she said something about a Queen but he wasn't paying too much attention.

"D'you mind explaining what the hell your hands are doing?" He asked, no signs of sarcasm or harshness in his tone. He was purely just confused, a little bit surprised too. It was then he finally noticed Belle and Cameron, but it seemed they were paying no attention so he left them to it.

Alex followed her out of the hotel and through the forest until they reached that one tree, her life tree. "Well, I have to admit this place is awesome. Your life tree, if I'm correct?". He took her hand and climbed up the the branch by using his feet to walk up the length of the tree. All of his attention was sucked away by a powerful force just a bit away from them. He was about to alert Erieda, but he was sure she'd already noticed, she had a knack for things like that.

"Should we go?" He asked, unsure of whether his decisions would bring them harm or not. Would jumping into a fight right now be the worst thing to do? He wasn't quite sure, all he knew was that if he didn't there could be some serious injuries. Pah, just when he decided to drop the healer off with a psycopathic wolfman. Just their luck.

Alex smiled mentally at her kiss, welcoming it without hesitation. He was a bit shocked when she said sorry, but didn't act on it too much. "We'll get some alone time soon, don't worry" He told her, then watched as she ran off in the direction of the power. He too jumped down and ran after her, making sure there was always a narrow distance between them. He had to be sure he could jump to protect her if something happened, he wouldn't be able to live with himself if she got injured whilst he was around. "Stay close" He said protectively.

They reached the area where Tommy, Kristina, Cameron and Belle were and came to an abrupt halt. Belle was hovering over Cameron, Tommy was backed up against a tree. And Kristina.. was a dragon. His brows furrowed and he let his hand grip onto Erieda's shoulder. He didn't want to act out against Kristina since it wasn't his place to do so, but he'd put up one hell of a fight if he needed to.

Alex knew what the solution for Tommy's problem was, but summoning the sunlight was an extremely difficult task. "Erieda, go back to the hotel and get some water. I can produce sunlight.. I think". Alex knew Cameron and Belle could hold off Kristina until further notice, it was the summoning thing he was worried about. He cuffed his hands around Tommy's cheeks and closed his eyes. Nothing happened. Alex grunted, "Come on!" He shouted, shoving his hands further into Tommy's face.

After a moment or so his hands began to glow a faint yellow. The light coated Tommy's entire body. Alex's vision blurred slightly, he felt like he was going to collapse from exhaustion. It was working, but at the cost of something much greater. He couldn't keep it up forever, his power was weakening drastically. "Hurry Erieda" He called, "I can't hold up much longer".

Erieda matched his kiss with one of her own as he slid off her shirt. Her eyes fluttered closed as she wrapped her arms around him to gently pull him closer. She never been like this with anyone. Fae or Human. It's always been either training or fighting, she was always wrapped up in her duties that this was next to impossible. Now, she was glad, happy even. She helped him undo his shirt, kissing him softly.


Tommy wrapped an arm around Kristina. Snickering when she hit her cousin. He was asking for it so it was his own fault.

((Forgot to switch.. -Facedesk-))

Alex smiled and let his chin rest on the top of her head. He let out a content sigh and tightened his grip on her. "Do you not like them, hun?" He asked, "Chris means no harm and you've no need to feel threatened around Juliet, she has a thing for Corbin. She lets her thoughts roam so freely, I'm surprised you can't hear them." He explained. "If they've done something to upset you, then please tell me so I can sort it out.. It's not pleasant seeing you so frustrated and annoyed".

Juliet came to an abrupt halt as her sensetive ears picked up Alex's conversation. She turned back and shot him a harsh glare, before storming back to the hotel and inside. Chris had attempted to grip onto her arm but she broke free. Her eyes fell on Corbin and her face dropped. He was inside, and they were right outside the door. An audible distance. Chris entered soon behind her and his hand hovered near her back. "What that little twit said wasn't true. It wasn't!" She shouted.

Kristina ran down the hall of the house since her mother(in her dragon form) was too big to get down the hall. And her shifting gave Kristina enough time to hid in the house. She ran upstairs to the attic where her old hiding spot used to be. She quietly glided over to the corner of the room behind some boxes. Luckily she was small enough and you won't be able to see her. She needed to find a way to contact Cameron or Tommy. Cameron would be easier.
Cam! Cameron!
What?
I need help. Please! Find Tommy or Erieda anyone just
Okay slow down. Where are you?
Home.
Okay I'm coming
Kristina couldn't talk with him long since she didn't understand how to hold long conversations. She could hear her mother downstairs calling her name. Kristina pulled her knees closer to her chest and held back tears. She didn't even know why her mother needed her.

Once Cameron didn't hear back from Kristina he ran down the stairs and out of the hotel. He saw Erieda and Alex. He saw they were swapping spit, but there was no time for that. "Um. If I could break you two up for a second. I need Erieda's help." He said crossing his arms trying to wait as patiently as possible since he really just wanted to pull them apart.

Theresea saw Alex waiting for her. He seemed to have started up a party of their own. "I...Um...Guys, meet Layla." Theresea yanked at Layla's arm and pulled her forward. Layla gave a half-smile before turning her head away from their staring eyes. Theresea had sensed that the two had shared some of the same features, everything except eye and hair color were alike. Layla then spoke up, staring into Theresea's big, beady eyes. "I'm Terry's sister." Theresea nodded, she knew they'd all be surprised but she would tell them the full story later, right now, the others needed to know about the missing sibling Theresea had had.

He stopped as Erieda yanked onto his shoulder, and when he sensed her anger his increased. Alex let out a loud roar and drove his fist right into Erieda's stomach, aiming to push her back a few meters. "None o' your business, tha's what" He muttered. He wasn't expecting his body to react that way, but even Chris said that he would be extremely hostile and unpredictable.

Juliet darted forward and grip on his right arm, Chris on his left. Whilst he was being held down, Juliet slammed her palm into his forehead and his entire body went limp. "Violent little buggar" She spat, leaning over his motionless body. She then turned to Erieda. "Don't worry. That's not Alex. I was the same in the first part of my Wraith life. I got over it and am able to control it. I was sent here to help him. He didn't mean that, and he'll be back to normal soon".

Chris lifted Alex onto his shoulder and walked into the hotel, waving to Theresea and Layla as he went. He placed Alex down on the sofa and sat on the arm. Juliet then walked up to Theresea and Layla and held her hands out to them both. "Hey, I'm Juliet. Nice to meet you both!". Chris walked up and stood beside Juliet, but didn't bother to say anything. He remained silent.

"Hi, I'm Theresea." She smiled giving a grin. Juliet seemed really polite, but the boy seemed a bit shy. Theresea had seen a chain of events happen, she didn't want to change her mood to figure out what just happened then, so she let the others boss each other around, and smiled at Alex leaving. Poor, Layla hadn't exactly seen the others at all, and this was not a first impression to remember. "Oh, um so...I'm Alex's friend. Part of the main six, the group, and you are...I mean in relation to the group?" Layla stood by my side, not exactly wanting to talk to anyone but Theresea, pulling on her sleeve signalling to leave.

Erieda frowned. "No position?" She fought the urge to laugh. Then she heard what Chris was saying and it shocked her. Her gaze fell on Alex. "I never attack first" She said matter of factly, standing her ground. "So, Love, you will have to attack me." She said already having several moves and counters in her head. She'd rather not fight him and she did love him but this was getting ridiculous.

Erieda smiled. She moved the earth below her and sunk deep into the ground. He thought he hit her. Fool
She came up from behind him and dropped down and swept his feet out from under him and in one swift movement, She was on top of him, Her hand at his throat and a fist at his heart. " You'd be dead now, my love." She told him. He was anger and wasn't thinking which gave her the advantage.

Erieda smiled. "Nice trick." She said without turning to him. "You're right on that. I'm not trying to kill you." She turned to him fully, her eyes flashing a haunting green, revealing their natural color. "I need you to understand that I could. If I really wanted to." She said, challengingly. She hoped he'd snap out of this soon. She really didn't wanna get too worked up over this. That would not be good for him or her.
