Chasing Ghosts

Eavesdropping Has Consequences

The Pack had been dismissed and Erin went into the lounge area, he needed a stiff drink. This whole situation was throwing him for a doozy; The humans were coming for them, other Packs were coming for them, they were now in league with vampires, and to top it all off...Lycans were not only the real deal, but apparently still alive. The kicker to that last bit was the fact that Jade was directly related to such a strong being, and because of him, she now had to go through even more hardships. He sat at the bar and poured himself a glass of Bourbon. He felt guilty for biting her now and bringing this all about, but at the same time he couldn't have seen himself with anybody else. He was conflicted in the way he felt about the domino effect that had been triggered, but there was one thing he knew for certain. He'd die before he let anything happen to his family. He took a long sip of his drink.

"Is this really any time to be drinking?" Jax asked as he strode into the room.

Erin shot him a glare as he turned to face him.

Jax raised his hands defensively in the air in front of himself. "I'm not here to start anything."

"One would think otherwise, from the way you were talking earlier," Erin took a drink after rolling his eyes, "I didn't expect you to have such strong feelings..."

Jax strode over and poured himself a chilled glass of Jack Daniels, "Why wouldn't I? I'm a part of this family too, you know," he took a sip, "I'm just voicing a few concerns and wondering if your head is wrapped around how completely and utterly fucked we seem to be." His voice held no malice or disrespect, he was simply speaking how he felt, before taking a sip from his glass.

It was at that moment that Alex walked in, looked extremely irritated and his eyes set on Jax. "What the hell is your problem, huh?" He was standing over Jax, half snarling at him. "We have enough issues to worry, you shouldn't be trying to a-," he was stopped by a raised hand from Erin.

Erin turned and faced the two. "Calm it down, Alex," he sighed as he continued to drink, "His concerns are valid..." he eyed Jax, "In a sense. He's simply worried for the Pack, as we all are," he stressed, finishing off his drink and pouring another, "We have hard times coming our way, so I'm going to need everyone to pull it together and work together. Our Pack is not going to fall, in light of what others may think, and even in light of these revelations," he stood and stood between his two comrades, draping an arm on the shoulder of both, "Do you understand me? I won't allow it, and I know with you two at my side, neither will you."

Alyssa had grabbed Lexi and a few others to help her get dinner prepared. They needed to be ready for the fight to come, and no warrior was capable of fighting on an empty stomach.

As they turned to go back Jade raised her head sniffing the air. Her hair rose high as she smelled more vampires and none that she recognized scent wise. However one scent did catch her attention. She stopped and put her hair down her legs kicked off and she ran for the scent her body a lot stronger than Vals made her push off and run a head of her. Her long muscular legs made her fast and powerful. Her snout had the best tracking to it. She wondered if that was because of being a lycan. She skidded to a stop, she was only lightly panting. There was a clearing and her green eyes scanned it. They finally land on a tall male figure he was blonde hair and blue eyes. A small smirk spread across her lips, they curled up over her teeth and she ran for the male Vampire and tackled him to the ground. A snarl escaped her lips and she bared her teeth.

The male Vampire laughed, “Okay I deserved that one, I told you I be back Jade.”Marius said with a small smirk. She let him up and he pet the top of her head. He looks over his shoulder and nods for his coven to step out, there were any where from 50 to 80 vampires. They all had red eyes and snarls on there lips, they stared at her, but stayed close to one another. Jade was comfortable around him and other Vampires. Marius turned yo his coven. “This is Jade, Jade this is my coven.” He said. He smiled and looked at Jade, “Show us where were staying.” he said. Jade looked at all the others then at Marius. She turned and walked over to Val who had finally caught up and nods for her to follow. She put them up in the old pack house it fit all of them and was still in good working condition and the pack wouldn't really have to be near them. She led them to the old pack house and watched the Vampires disappear inside. She wondered if she just sentenced them all to death or what would happen tomorrow. Marius thanked her and stopped before he pet her head as his phone went off.
