AzaleaIt was a short walk to the portal that would take out to Philly and when we went through it was early morning. We stopped and found a place that served breakfast. While we ate I had Jason google places that sold RV’s and once they were open we made out way to them in an Uber. They had four of the largest RV’s and two that were slightly smaller that we could take today. They were all equipped with the tow package for cars or small SUV’s which we would also need to get. We put them on the card that Cerwin had given me and arranged for all but one to be picked up in a few days. Luckily Cerwin had also provided the twins and me with fake ID’s - something that was usually necessary with fae as well. We took one of the smaller ones with us today - it would be the one that the four of us would be staying in. We would divide the fae up into the others once they arrived.Luckily Logan was adept at driving and the RV dealership was able to tell us a few different locations that had spots
Azalea We had finally decided to move on to another city and had given our two weeks notice when we finally got a bite. One of the fae working as a waitress had a table come in late one night. She could tell they were other worldly and had her partner, who worked as a bartender, call and let us know. Luckily the four of us were off that night and piled into one of the SUV's to join them. We got a table far away and watched them for a bit. The fae - a glamour fae- was very good. She flirted with them getting just enough information out of them that we knew these were men we needed. I nodded to the bar tender to make sure that they added the truth potion to their drinks and to make them as strong as possible. It was very hard for any super natural to get drunk of of human liqour but you could still get a decent buzz. Enough for what we had planned. I had instructed the fae to pick one of the men and be excessively flirty with him and get him to agree to meet with her when sh
Azalea We were all too tired to deal with what we found that night and so we went back and crashed. When we woke up a few hours later we pulled out our map and began making markings and writing down everything that vamp had told us. We only had three more days here and needed to make the adjustments to our plans. Everyone would be picking up their last checks either today or tomorrow and the fae were working on making sure everything was packed up and that they had everything that they needed. After several hours we decided we would need to send one of the glamour fae to Logan to pretend to be me. “I” needed to be seen out in public in order to throw Arick off and to keep him trying to get to me and then exposing himself in the process. I knew Logan was not going to like it but it was necessary to our plan. We thought about which fae looked the most like me in size and shape so it would be easier for her to maintain her glamour for long periods of time. We decided on Shay’lyn - she w
AzaleaWe made it to Chicago well after night fall having stopped for gas as well as lunch and dinner. Tomorrow we would begin our search here.Chicago this time of year was very cold and a lot harder on the fae that were with us. I made sure that they had the appropriate winter gear and we actually stayed at a hotel near the area we were looking. Half of the team got jobs waitressing part time or bartending part time while the other half was to be eyes and ears in the worst places. I took a job but I had Lucas and the twins be patrons. We devised a schedule and had everyone rotate through the places we were looking. After about a month we found a few very low level minions of Arick’s but they couldn’t provide us with any information that we didn’t already have. Rich’s sources didn’t have any new information to add either when I spoke with him. Cerwin reported that the training was going well and that the fae were really coming along with their powers.I reached out to my brother for
Logan It had been a month since I had seen her last - well seen the real her. The fake Azalea went to Hawaii with me two weeks ago. It was difficult for me to be in public and act in love with the fake Azalea. It only made me miss her more. I needed this whole thing with Arick to be over and for her to come home to me. I spent as much time as possible following leads with my dad and running my pack. Any spare time I had was spent working out or running in the woods. My wolf was angry all the time. That night he ruled my dreams. He was remembering seeing her and playing with her in her dreams. And that is when she came to me, to us. I knew it was the real her and not the dream her because I could smell her sweet scent and her physical appearance was a little different. She was blonde now - they had changed it when they had gone to San Francisco. She kept me updated on where they were once we were able to establish control over our bond. It didn’t make missing her any less, but it help
MarkusAzalea was in a shit mood the next day after dream walking with Logan. She was usually a little sad after but this time was the worst. Jason and I tried everything to lift her spirits but it was no use so we left to go find some possible apartments for us along with a few of the fae. There were a few in the same area of the city as the base for Arick’s group that was here and we put in applications for those.When we got back Lucas and Azalea were in a heated conversation and it looked like he was loosing. I nudged Jason and mind linked him to make popcorn, knowing full well that this could turn physical between the two. He was very over protective of her - I mean we all were but he hadn’t had his ass handed to him by her enough for him to realize that she really could handle herself just fine. I also knew that his feelings weren’t strictly just protective either but he knew she had a mate and it wasn’t him.Jason brought over the popcorn and we stood there munching on the butt
AzaleaThe next few weeks went by in a blur. The twins and the other fae were able to move into apartments in the city within a few days and we paid to park one of the larger RV’s at a nearby storage facility. We helped everyone get settled in with furniture - a lot of it from Goodwill and second hand stores. We didn’t want everything looking brand new if they chose to drop by. They had another gathering at the warehouse and agreed to help train others when the recruiter asked them. They were due to start training others 3 days a week this week.I had been working with Cae’leigh every day with her powers. She was finally able to create a fae version of an emp. Luckily we were in the middle of the forest and she only fried our phones. I felt it roll out - like static against my skin and I connected to the earth to measure how far it went. She was able to project it out about 4 blocks. I was leaving her here for our trip as I wanted her to keep practicing. I made sure she planned out ev
AzaleaThe three of us each took a leg of the drive to Texas. I told them a lot about the state in general having spent most of my life there before my mom and I went on the run. The state still held a piece of my heart and still instilled a sense of pride in me.We stopped at a full service truck stop not too far away from pack lands to freshen up and get changed. It would be easiest for Micah to just have to glamour our faces and his own size if he didn’t have to worry about outfits. I wore a pretty red dress that went about mid calf and had short puffy sleeves and a sweetheart neckline. It covered all of my tattoos and was actually in a style that Cassie would enjoy. I was shorter and curvier than her but was hoping that we could be inconspicuous enough for no one to notice. We sprayed ourselves with the special scents I had created that would completely mask our scents.It was well after dark when we arrived. We were stopped at the border by the enforcers and handed over the invit
