It Has Begun

"What the hell happened to you last night?" Jade's voice came, and Elise just rolled her eyes and groaned.

"I ducked out of that lame ass party early. Had a few drinks with this guy I met there, and the rest is really fuzzy after that." she said, pushing a hand through her hair as she reached for the vial of blood she had on her bedside table. After she sank it's contents, she got up and went for a shower. Luckily she didn't have too bad of a hangover, which was surprising, but what she saw on the bathroom sink was a mask. She picked it up and smiled a little. She barely remembered taking it from... Chris? Yeah, it had to be close to that. "Hell, I wonder if he'll still find Lassie as funny sober."

She laughed to herself and after taking a nice hot shower, she got dressed and looked to Jade. They had to make another blood run to last the daylight hours for the next week or two. At least until they could get themselves a better supply going. With things being the way they were, she knew it would be hard. Especially after what she could hear Jade telling he through the door of the bathroom. She was kind of glad that she and that werewolf had ducked out early now. That attack would not have been good for her. She was getting better at controlling her bloodlust, but all the blood likely would have sent her on a rage.

"So are you going to see that guy again?" Jade asked, and immediately Elise touched her cheek. The last thing she actually remembered was him kissing her cheek. She smiled a little.

"If I can help it, I am." she said. She had had a lot of fun with him, and she would love to have more fun.

Arik sighed a bit as he sat with the other betas and their alpha, Beau. Beau had agreed to have a meeting with Kiara, which Arik was glad for. While he had never actually met her until the night before, he could tell that she was for peace like he was. Like the vast majority of the pack was. So many of them had seen hard times from the wars that they were ready for a longer period of peace. He ran his hand through his hair as he half listened to the meeting. He had a few bruises and a nice gash just under his eye from one of the dragons, but he understood why. Things weren't meant to go the way they did, and even he could tell it. But it was all too late before everything was figured out and now even the witch coven was suffering some loss.

"Arik!" Beau's voice came, and Arik looked to him.

"Sorry." he said, "I'll go check and see what's going on. He quickly left the meeting and he saw Kiara and the red-headed angel... Dawn he was sure her name was... coming down the path. He was glad that they found the path, but this was one reason he missed his brother being around. He would have known they were there already, but he knew that Eros had his own things to hand. Plus, he was glad he wasn't there after everything that happened last night. Eros was a hell of lot stronger than most and likely would have been a big target, but he also might have been able to catch what happened earlier. "Good to see you found us." Arik said to Kiara and Dawn.

He could sense the hostility coming from the wolf that passed him and he sighed. "Forgive us, everything is still very fresh. Beau will be glad to see you both made it with little trouble though. We are just over this way. I'll have to poke my head in first to see if they're ready for you." he said. He led them to where he just came from, and when he saw Beau waiting for them he sighed. "Just a moment."

Beau looked to Arik and whispered, "You were there, I trust your judgement on this, just remember that going into this meeting." he said.

Arik gave a gentle nod and held the door for everyone as they went into their meeting. This is one thing he was glad that Beau wasn't sore over, and another reason that while he wished his brother was there, he was glad he wasn't. They would have been butting heads and it could have made things worse. Much worse.

The brunette took a deep breath as he walked through the woods, enjoying the smells. Since he had been on earth, he could now understand why people enjoyed it. Minus the humans. They were a huge lot of idiots. He knew that from how Silas had spoke of them, but Zephaniah couldn't believe they were this stupid. He kept amusing the idea that they were stupider than Michael and it made him chuckle to himself a little.

Something caught his attention after a bit though, and his eyes followed the form of a monkey. "I didn't think they were native to this area of the world. A least that's what the books said." he muttered to himself before he saw the monkey come before him. He tilted his head curiously at it when it began furiously chittering at him. "What's going on?" He watched the monkey chitter some more and touch some blood. He sighed a bit and once it had turned his head to face a hunter, an involuntary smirk came over his face.

"Is this what you are so worried about?" he asked, and he looked over the monkey again. "Don't worry, I got this... But if you're not exactly looking to see some blood, I'd close your eyes."

He watched the monkey hesitate only a moment before getting into the tree. He set is pack down and saw the hunter step forward. Z crossed his arms over his chest. "Why are you bugging that creature?" he asked, and the hunter seemed dumbfounded. "Mind lowering your gun too? I'm trying to be some form of civil."

"That creature is an abomination. She should not be here. She is dangerous." the hunter said, and Z let out a haughty chuckle.

He clicked his tongue against his teeth and noticed the hunter kept his gun up. "If you want to see dangerous I promise to change your definition of it." Z heard the gunshot before he flicked his hand and heard the bullet explode between him and the hunter. He threw a white fireball at the hunter and saw him duck. He ran at the hunter and grabbed the hand that had the gun in it and slammed the hunter's arm against a tree. The gun flew out of his hand and Z twisted the hunter's arm up behind his back and slammed him into the tree before releasing him. The hunter managed to tackle him to the ground and hit him in the side before being thrown off of him. Z managed to pick up the gun and he shot the hunter between the eyes. Then one more time through the temple. He had read so many zombie stories in the cells that he firmly believed in a double tap.

He rummaged the hunter's body and took what ammo he had and the gun. He tucked it in his pack before he looked up for the monkey. "You can come on down now." he told her. He had to remember the hunter identified her as a female. He felt something warm on his side. He sighed when he saw the blood and he lifted his shirt to see the wound was already almost closed. That was a plus at least. Once the monkey was before him again, he rummaged through his pack again and showed it some bandages. "I have these if you need them. I could get them on you and you could stick with me a while if you wanted. I promise you won't have to deal with anyone like that with me."

"I can't promise I know where the hell I'm going though." he added. He knew he would eventually need to track down Billie and Alex. But he hadn't the slightest idea where exactly to start, and while he was a damn good tracker, he did need a trail to pick up on them from, so for now, he would wander.

Save Me|Save Yourself|Save Us All

Clary couldn't help the excited bouncing, but she had managed to calm herself a little when Heather pointed it out. "Yeah, but honestly, Morgan is a really awesome teacher. He finds me wandering the halls at night sometimes and has tea with me. We did coffee one time, and he regretted that for two days." she laughed a little, but soon it was time for them to head to gym. When Heather brought up Cole, Clary blushed a little and looked to the ground. "Thanks, I mean... We just really met, but I really like her. She's so... calm." she smiled a little. "You know, not typically what I go for. Remember the last girl was more high strung than even me."

Once they got ready for class, Clary frowned a little when she noticed that Logan wasn't in the gym. She missed out on all of his high! She knew he was probably passed out back in their dorm and she would just go bring him some lunch after class. However, her attention turned towards Devin, and she stood a bit closer to Heather when she saw what was going on. "That girl knows how to put a point across." she whispered to her. It wasn't long before Long assigned partners, and while Clary was a little sad that she wasn't with Cole or Heather, her face immediately lit up when she saw her partner. Ryan came over, pulling her long locks of brunette hair up into a ponytail and she smiled to Clary. Clary hugged her a bit and squealed. "Ryan! I didn't know you were coming back!"

"Well, yeah, I got in late last night. Was supposed to have been in two days ago, but flights got delayed, you know." she smiled. Ryan waved a little to Heather. "Heya! I'm Ryan. Nice to meet you."

Clary bounced a little bit. "This was my partner in Realms last year." she told Heather. "Oh! We have to catch up! We just have to!"

"Then let's do the laps. Stretch first and then we'll do the laps." Ryan said with a laugh.

Clary smiled. "Okay! Let's stretch!"

Miles kind of shrugged when she brought up Sunday. "I wish I could have, but this was sort of an abrupt turn of events, you know? Would have loved to have been here for that though. But I really appreciate you offering to show me around. That will help so much, I can't thank you enough." he told her, and he sort of chuckled when she said she hadn't been to Buckingham Palace. "It's beautiful. You should make time to go and see it. I'd offer to go with you, but that might sound weird." he said.

Three and a half years. That stuck with him. So she would know a lot of the ropes around here, even the ones that the teachers wouldn't, so she would be a good person to stick around. Then when she asked him if he was transferring, he blinked a minute. That took him off guard. "It's my first time in a school like this. I've been to school, sure, but in Heaven things are way different."

IT wasn't long after that when Professor Kane came in. He waved to Iris as she left and he listened to Kane for a moment, nodding when she asked if he was the angel student. So she would be his adviser, he was pretty sure Aren had that in some of his paperwork so he wouldn't forget it, but he was glad she said it to him because it would make it easier to remember. She asked him if he had any questions, and his mind went blank. "I do have one right off the top of my head. How many other angels, or angel breeds are in the school?"

He had a feeling that if there were others, there weren't many if at all, but there was also a part of him that wanted to know that he wasn't alone. When this assignment came to him, he had to admit he was a little confused by it, but Michael wanted eyes here for some reason. Reasons he could guess at, considering there had been a lot of talks about Hell lately, but why he would put him here... That was what he wanted to understand. "What questions do you have for me?"

--

Randa and Billie both sort of snickered at the display TIffany gave. They would definitely need to talk to her, but it could wait until after they stretched. "So, we sparring?" Randa asked, and Billie nodded.

"Yeah. We do good sparring together." Billie said, and she began helping Randa stretch out. She could see Maggie coming over to them, but a red head stopped her and was talking to her. She raised a brow a little.

Maggie smiled to Willow and nodded. "Sure. My partner isn't back in school yet." she said, "I'm Maggie by the way, what's your name?" she asked. Her eyes had followed the gesture up to Jo and she nodded. "So, what did you want to do? I know my sister and Billie are going to end up sparring. They always do." she motioned her head over to Randa and Billie. "And that's generally where me and Erin would end up too."

She saw Randa looking over and waved at her, only to see her wave back. It was a minute later that she felt a hand on her shoulder and she jumped a bit. "Shit! Joe! Don't do that!" Maggie said to see him chuckle.

"Sorry Mags, just figured I'd say hi." he said, and he moved close to her ear. "And to tell you if you don't put a leash on that thing you're shacking up with, I'm going to knock him out."

"Oh come on! Nathan is better than most of the guys I've dated." Maggie said a bit loudly and covered her mouth after she did. "But what's he doing?"

"He keeps looking at me funny." Joe said, patting her should. "But I'll catch up with you later."

"Okay." Maggie said with a small wave, and she looked to Willow. "Sorry about that."

Colten sighed a bit as he got into gym class, barely paying attention to anything going on around him. He ran his fingers through his hair and heard a few girls giggle as he walked passed them. He shrugged a bit and when he finally caught eyes with someone he knew, he smiled and waved to her. Randa. They had dated for a while, and while they broke up, they were still good friends. She took care of him and he did the same for her when she needed it. It wasn't long after Kajun came up to him and he smiled. "Hey. Man, you wanna lift weights?" he asked him. It wasn't long after that, the guy near them asked to join them.

Considering his alternative, Colten just nodded. "By all means, man. I wouldn't wish that on anyone." Colten said, a small growl in the back of his throat. It quickly left and he rolled his eyes at what Kajun said. When Zach asked him how much he benched, he just chuckled, "About 450 for reps. I can do more in single lifts though." Colten was taken a little off guard by Kajun's purring and he turned to see the girls. When Cole caught sight she waved and Colten waved back. They were talking to Drake and Sal now, and he decided he wouldn't call them over. But when they got over to the weights, and he sat on the bench he about jumped out of his skin when he saw Randa there. "Damnit Miranda!"

She chuckled and leaned on the bar before he laid back. "Hey. Good to see you too." she said. "Just wanted to ask a favor, if your buddies don't mind." she said, waving a little to Zach and Kajun. "If Maggie and her partner end up over here, will you make sure Maggie doesn't hurt herself like she did the last time... and..." Randa's eyes were watching somewhere else, and she patted his shoulder when she looked back at him. "Sorry, Beatrice was hardcore eyeballing you, so I figured I'd get her off your back before she wanted you to get her on hers."

Colten rolled his eyes a little and nodded. "Thanks Randa. You and Billie aren't going to lift?"

"Nah, we're going to spar. But I would more than happily sit pretty on the bar for you." she winked, and soon Billie walked over.

"Baaaabbbee..." she whined. "Let's go."

Randa rolled her eyes a bit. "In her defense, Billie, Beatrice was hardcore staring over here, and you know how Randa gets with that one." Ez's voice came with a chuckle.

"Hey." Billie said, and she waved to Cole a bit. "Nice to see you back." Billie said.

"It's good to be back." Ez said. Her eyes flicked over to Kajun and she smiled a bit when she heard the purring. "But I figured I'd come over and say hi. I haven't seen you in a while."

Randa sighed a bit, watching Billie and Ez just stand there talking for a minute and once Colten started lifting the weight on his bar, Randa hopped up on it and looked down at him. "Too heavy for you yet?"

"I'm not maxed out, Randa. Plus you're light anyway. Get tired of standing?" he asked her and she nodded.

Alex came out of Long's office after their talk. He was to completely avoid Devin while in class, and he rolled his eyes a little and met up with Justin who was also in need of a partner. "Hey man, ready to go?" Alex asked, and he looked over to where the weights were and saw a crowd of girls around a few of them. He recognized the one as Colten. He had dated Randa for a while, and he saw her sitting on his weight bar at the moment. He rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Come on, let's go run laps."

"Sounds good to me." Justin said. He heard the whistle blow.

"Ladies! Get to your activities!" Long shouted. "Lively! Office now!"

Alex's eyes watched as Devin went into Long's office and he rolled his eyes. "I swear I'm going to kill him one day." he said, and Justin shrugged.

"As long as you let Billie record it, I don't think anyone will care." Justin said.

--

It wasn't long after Long blew the whistle and told everyone to get to it a second time that Billie and Randa finally made their way over to the mats set up for sparring. Billie was stretching a little more when Randa tapped her arm. "There's Tiffany. Why don't we go over and say hi?"

Billie nodded and soon she and Randa walked over to Tiffany. Billie was quiet for a moment, but Randa broke the ice. "So, I'm Randa and this is Billie, and I just have to say, I'm sorry that you had to stop. Watching that piece of shit get a taste of his own medicine was nice."

Billie nodded. "Yeah. It really was." she agreed. "You guys want to spar with us? Its usually easier to do in bigger groups."

Please Stay

A post has appeared.... ha ha.

I'll do more with Marcus next post. I feel like it might just be easier to combine the posts for now. ha ha.

Please Stay

"Yeah... What she said." Ryan gave a faint sort of chuckle when Katie spoke to Charlie. However, it wasn't long before they were all at the Cauldron and holy shit was it crowded. Ryan had known it to be crowded on Friday nights, but tonight was... there was no comparison to how busy it was with all of Falmouth there. As she followed behind Katie, Charlie not far behind her, she carefully avoided the people Katie had elbowed. When they got to Hannah, Ryan could only shake her head and chuckle lightly at Katie.

"I'll take-" she began and Charlie took to ordering for them both.

"Firewhiskey. Please. Both of us." he said, and when she shot him a look, he just grinned. "You know you wanted it."

"I expect this from Katie." she said. When they got their drinks, she looked at the Firewhiskey. Luckily, one of Katie's teammates had come up and she had introduced them. She could only chuckle at their antics, and she nodded. "I am. Thank you, I do try with him."

Charlie's laugh roared when he and Pucey were talking. "Someone had to kick your asses then. Dragons been kicking mine ever since. Been taking a bit of break though. Had some things to help with." he said. It wasn't long after that the doors opened again and in came Marcus Flint. No one really looked over, but Ryan had out of habit. Charlie's head turned too and he nudged Katie's shoulder. "Look, the cat dragged in your favorite person." He teased.

Ryan rolled her eyes and finally took a sip of her drink and she blinked her eyes a bit and looked at it again. "That's stronger than I remember." she muttered to herself. It did help take the edge off of being around so many people. She truly wasn't used to it. Even when she was younger she tended to avoid crowds... But Katie had always had a knack of dragging her right into them. It was all good and well for now. However, Ryan knew she needed to keep herself level-headed. She didn't drink often, and she couldn't remember what she got like if she were to get properly trashed.

She spoke, "Katie, is this supposed to be this strong?" she chuckled a little. She motioned her drink at Katie, and she sighed. She had to remember to have a good time, Katie might kick her ass if she didn't.

Still Worth Fighting For

Kyp looked to Tara and nodded when she said Tali would appreciate it. Hell, if all he had to do was check some traffic cameras to give someone some solace, he'd take that little bit of time out of his day anytime. "Well, Serg is fingerprinting. I'm going to gather what valuables I can and label them so when we contact next of kin, we can at least return some of their stuff. As hard as it can get, at least they can have something of theirs." he said, running his hand over his face and he went over to the car and grabbed out some gloves and ziploc bags.

"And be sure you let someone know you made it home tonight." Kyp said, "All of us who hunt with Rhi are at her house tonight, but just tell Eli or someone to tell Rhi so we know." he leaned down a little and whispered by her ear. "Serg is a huge worry wart after shit like this goes sideways." he chuckled and handed her some gloves and he began at the body whose head had been exploded and he shook his head. "So unnecessary...

--

Wes couldn't help the small chuckle that came when Eli asked what he did when it came to Chester. "I waited until after Serg came to pick up Rhi, followed him out, had his head almost inside the fan motor of the piece of shit he drives. Told him he tries anything again, he's going to end up with a wrench in a place he wouldn't appreciate. Then wake up in the wrong part of a demolition derby." He shook his head. "Still waiting to see Rhi shove the .22 she always carries down his throat and threaten to make him shit bullets."

Wes raised a brow at the small conversation between Eli and Taylor and he just looked confused. "I don't even want to ask, I guess." He said, and when Rhi came back, she just chuckled at Taylor's comment.

"I also half expected the meeting to be at the office." she said, and she covered Wes's ears very poorly, "He doesn't do so well in doctor's offices." she whispered loudly.

Wes shook his head when Rhi moved her hands. "Wrong. I don't do well with hospitals." he shuddered involuntarily. "Regular doctor's offices aren't so... I don't even know."

Rhi shook her head a little. She leaned over and whispered something to Wes who just turned a faint shade of pink. "That's what I thought." she said, and Wes rolled his eyes.

"Anyway, you want to stay a little longer or you ready to head out?" Wes asked.

"If you're ready, I am. I know you just got back into town and probably want to crash." Rhi said, and she looked to Eli and Taylor. "See you tomorrow. Might not be there as early as usual. Got to tune up Serg's bike and help Wes tune up his truck too."

"She can get to the back spark plugs. Smaller hands and all." Wes said with a laugh. "Nice meeting you guys."

With that Wes waved and Rhi did too as they went to head out.

Sal woke up to the bed empty, and he sat up and rubbed his eyes a little bit. He turned a bit and blinked before he turned his head from side to side before he noticed the faint aura of the symbol Willow had put on the inside of her door for him so he could see it when he needed to leave the room and she wasn't in there with him or he just didn't want to wake her. He carefully stood and walked to the door. It took him a moment to find the door knob before he got the door opened and he started following the scent of breakfast. He felt a hand on his should and he heard Drake chuckle. "Morning." he said.

"Morning Drake." he said, and when they got into the kitchen, Drake made sure Sal got to sitting down before he got some water and sat down himself. He looked at the clock and shook his head. "Shit, I missed the morning run. Oh well, I'll go later this afternoon." he said.

Sal spoke. "I don't think Billie will say anything. It was a long night." he said, and Drake nodded a bit.

"This is true." Drake said, and he smiled to Willow when breakfast was served. "Thanks Will."

They had all been eating when Jo came down, and he looked her over. She seemed hungover, but then again she had a rougher night than most of them did. She spoke to him, and he nodded. "Of course. You don't mind if we stop by the gym while we're out though, do you? I've got to see if any of the potential clients I had actually decided to sign up. That and I told Joe I would look at the sign ups for the boxing classes Billie coaches. Since he helps her out."

Sal tilted his head. "And can you see if I left my other walking stick there? I think I did yesterday when I went with you."

"Sure, no problem." Drake said. He then looked over to Tiffany and placed a kiss to the top of her head when he went to put his plate in the sink.

The alarm going off made Billie open her eyes and slap her hand against it. Run time was coming too early today, and when Logan pulled her closer to him, she let herself get comfortable for a little longer. About fifteen minutes later, Billie heard the alarm go off again and groaned, but she sighed. If she started getting lazy about it now, it would become a habit, and she was sure Randa wasn't going to be available later for a run. This had been the first day in weeks she and Garret had been off together, and she could only imagine how long they'd be lazing around in bed. She carefully slipped out of bed and pulled on her track pants and pulled on her sports bra. She pulled a hoody on over it and pulled her hair up into a ponytail before she put on her shoes and looked over to Logan. She smiled and kissed his cheek before she grabbed her phone and earbuds.

The air was crisp this morning and she was instantly glad she opted for a hoody. She turned and locked the door behind her and began stretching on the front porch. Drake nor Cole was up and outside yet, and she looked around. Alex would probably pitch a fit that she was going running alone again, but it wasn't too long after that she saw Joe coming out of the house in his shorts, hoody, and running shoes. She waved him over and he rubbed his side a little. "Didn't think anyone else would be up for the run this morning."

Joe chuckled, sleepily. "I rolled off my bed this morning. Figure since I was up, I'd go for a run. Probably try to catch a little more sleep when I get back, considering I work the later shift tonight."

Billie nodded. "One of these days we need to get you some bouncers that can actually do their job. Bring them to the boxing classes. That will thin out the weak ones quick." she chuckled, and he nodded. When they finished stretching they started on their run. It was quite a route, they headed up a few blocks and ran around the huge park nearby. After lapping it a few times, Billie looked to Joe. "Want to get some breakfast?"

Joe nodded. "Please. I'm going to bring something back for Hoyt and Rose too."

"Don't worry, I'm going to bring back the hangover breakfast for Alex too." Billie said, and Joe shook his head.

"That bad?" he asked, and Billie nodded as they headed across the street to a small diner that had just barely opened.

--

Ding dong! The noise was faint, but it assaulted Randa's ears. She groaned and turned over before she heard it again. "Go away." she mumbled before the third time it rang. Her eyes opened and she got herself out of bed. She looked on the floor and grabbed her underwear and bra before she pulled on her robe and shuffled to the door. The doorbell rang again. "For fuck's sake, keep your panties on! I'm coming!" She growled when she left the bedroom. She looked at the clock on the stove and groaned again. It was just barely eight! She heard the doorbell one more time, and she opened the door and her left hand covered the doorbell and when she moved it, she saw it melted.

After she melted the door bell, she looked up and saw Alex standing there and she shook her head. "You know Garret's gonna bitch you out something fierce when he decides to get out of bed right? I did all the proper steps to reschedule my appointment." Randa whined, and she saw he had a box of doughnuts in one hand with two cups of coffee balanced on it and his legal pad in the other.

"I brought you breakfast, and coffee. Plus this isn't a you session, this is a me session. I could barely sleep last night, and I need to talk it out..." Alex said, and Randa motioned for him to come in.

"It couldn't have waited until at least 10?" she asked, motioning to the couch for him to sit down. He handed her a coffee and set down the doughnuts. "Garret and I haven't had a day off together in weeks, Al, we didn't plan on getting up until noon."

"I'm sorry..." he said, and he watched as she reached her hand out and he placed his glasses in her hand. She put them on and then he handed her his legal pad.

"And you're going to have to deal with a robe because I plan on going back to bed after this, and you freak out anytime I'm in just my underwear around you." Randa said, and she clicked the pen and looked to the legal pad before she looked to Alex. "So, I'm guessing this has something to do with you and Jo?"

He nodded. "Good guess."

"We could hear you two arguing last night. You'd have had to be deaf to not hear that shit." Randa said. "You ever think that maybe, just maybe you are smothering her with how protective you can be?"

"I can't help that, Randa." he said, and Randa shot him a look.

"And I'm the virgin Mary. You can give me a better reason than that." Randa said, and Alex groaned. "Hey, you woke me up. You're getting absolutely no filter this morning, Al. Not to mention, I'm not stopping Garret when he bitches you out either."

Alex sighed and he watched her sip on her coffee and he got up and turned on their coffee pot and he saw her get a doughnut. "I just... she's so important to me, and..."

"Does she know how you feel?" Randa asked.

"Yeah. Last night, despite it all, was the first time we told each other we loved each other." he said, and Randa shook her head.

"Then why the fuck are you stressing?" Randa asked. It was at that moment she quieted a little, hearing movement from the bedroom. "Hold that thought, Al."

--

Dahl felt a nudge against her foot, and she opened her eyes slightly and saw Poppy gently nudging her foot. "Oh hey, Pop. You need to go out girl?" she yawned, and she heard the hound whine quietly. She blinked a bit and looked at saw she and Zach had fallen asleep on the couch last night. She saw the TV was off, and she grabbed Poppy's leash and put it on her before she walked her a bit outside. Once Poppy was done, they went back into Zach's house and Poppy laid back down. Dahl smiled a little and covered Zach up a little more with the blanket they had been using. She kissed his temple and began cleaning up what was left from last night. When she was done she looked through the cabinets and started making some coffee and breakfast for them.

She was hoping it would be a nice surprise for him when he woke up, considering they didn't get to eat breakfast together a lot. She had an early shift, and she was usually leaving when he was just waking up. She filled the sink with water so she could wash dishes as she went, and soon she heard Poppy softly bark, and she moved to check on her. She chuckled. She was having a puppy dream. "That still scares me." she mumbled to herself.

--

Cole woke up fairly early, and she smiled to see Clary still sleeping when she got up. She stretched a bit and turned off the TV and pulled the blanket over Clary a bit better so she wouldn't get too cold. After she washed her face and hands, she headed back down into the kitchen and began making some breakfast and coffee. Omelets, hashbrowns, bacon, and sausage. She heard the door open and close before she heard Logan's voice and she smiled to him. "Morning." she greeted. "I've got omelets, hashbrowns, bacon and sausage. If you don't like omelets I can make you something else, but if you do, just gotta know what you want in it. I don't think I've made omelets here in a while."

Cole placed a cup of coffee in front of Logan and took a sip of her own. She took a pouch out of her pocket and emptied it into her coffee and took another sip. "Morning Glory coffee goes hard in the morning." she smiled.

Just Give Me A Sign

Atticus had to admit he was glad for a quieter day, lately, everything seemed tense. Not to mention even he wanted to know what was going on with the East coven because they had been there way more than usual, even in the last two decades. He was glad that it wouldn't be a main thought. That wouldn't even have to go to the castle if they didn't want to today. His eyes shifted over to look at Kat who was picking at her breakfast. It was odd, he was used to her eating in the morning. She loved breakfast, as he had learned about her very quickly. He wouldn't bring it up now, but he'd ask her later.

Mitch was a trip in the morning, he thought, but he saw how carefully Mitch watched Lia when she headed out onto the porch with Edgar. He knew it was because of last night though. He vaguely remembered him talking about how Lia got with her nightmares years ago, and now seeing how it was he could understand. That was scary, and he could almost feel how it unsettled things. Maybe it was because she was a witch. Magic could do that, couldn't it?

He shook his head a bit when Mitch asked them about what they were doing and when Kat brought up the story, Atticus shot a look to Mitch when he brought up the hunter story. "Nah, I was telling her about Snowcrest. Technically a hunter story, but not the one you're talking about." When Kat showed interest in it, he nodded a bit. "Sure, Kitty. If you really want to hear that one too, I'll tell you it."

He watched Kat a moment as she talked to Mitch and watched her form retreat upstairs for a moment. "Been a weird morning, man. I don't think I've ever seen the girls hug before, but they sure did this morning. Not to mention they're both acting a little weird."

His ears perked a bit at the door when the knob was grabbed. He wasn't sure if he was imagining it or not, but he was almost certain he heard a cough from the other side. He saw it open and he watched as Edgar waddled in and got over to his basket in the living room. He heard Lia's voice after a moment too. "Here." she said, pulling a brown paper bag from underneath the sink and she wrapped up some muffins. "In case you guys get hungry a little later."

He nodded. "Thanks." he said and he blinked a bit as she headed up the stairs. "Least it's not storming." he mumbled.

Lia nodded when Kat said something about wanting to try the pie. "Alright, once I'm done with cookies I'll work on it. It only needs about an hour to set after I actually get it put together." she said. She then took Edgar outside and let him take care of his business. The cold air was a little bothersome and she shivered, drawing her robe closer to herself. She knew she'd need to pack up some muffins for Kat and Atticus, especially since she could already tell they'd head out for the day. She shivered again and sighed, seeing Edgar waddle over to the porch. She scooped him up and placed him on the porch. She went to head to the door, but she saw him wandering about. She went to take in a deep breath and she coughed lightly.

Her eyes rolled a bit. That was the last thing she needed. To be sick at a time like this, especially when she was dealing with her nightmares too. When Edgar finally got to the door, she grabbed hold of the door knob and coughed lightly again. She shook her head and opened the door, watching as Edgar walked in. She spoke to Atticus after she made him and Kat a bag of muffins to go and she headed up to her room to get dressed. She definitely needed something a bit warmer, and she would need to get into her herbs too anyway.

When she got into her room, she looked to the unmade bed and she started making it up before she sat down a moment. She took the pillow that Mitch had used and hugged it to her and leaned her head against it a moment. She could smell him and it silenced her worries for a brief moment. She shook her head and fluffed it up a bit before she placed it back on the bed and got up. She stripped out of her pajamas and pulled her hair up into a ponytail. She pulled on a long sleeved shirt and a pair of dark pants. She put on some warmer socks and she headed into the bathroom when it was opened and washed her face a bit and opened a cabinet. She had become quite good with making her own remedies, and she took a rub she had made and rubbed a little on her chest. She washed her hands after, and she went back into her room a moment. She got into her personal stash of herbs and pulled out some eucalyptus, mint, and a small bit of thyme.

She headed back down the stairs and she couldn't help the smirk that came over her face at the flour sitting on the counter. She quickly wiped it off her face and started making herself some more tea before she got out some bowls and a few other things. She finally took the half apron that she had folded next to her drying towels and tied it around her waist as she started getting into her rhythm. She finally spoke, not knowing if anyone was even around her at that point, she tended to completely zone out when she got into baking. "What kind of jelly am I using this time?"
