Jacob I had been waiting for that alert as I kept searching and suddenly it happened. It was really confusing how everyone that came in seemed a little legit via the time when Peter said those men came in with vehicles. There was something wrong with the footage from that area and I was having a really hard time figuring it out.So before Harold came inside, I had actually put everything in a really slow motion loop. That way, I would be able to know if there was missing footage. That would help me.It was supposed to alert me at the point when the footage jumped to another transition. That was the red that had alerted us. There was something missing indeed."You seem like you found something. What happened?" Harold asked me."Watch this." I said as I played back a little at the normal speed. He watched everything with such keen attention. "Notice anything?"I had to ask after it finished playing. Old Harold could not make anything out and wore his glasses."Play it again." He said t
HaroldThe boys were amazing and I was impressed. I no longer saw them as a job I had to do but as my sons that had grown into able bodied men. They were simply so amazing that my pride swelled.Listening to everyone speak made me realise that they were more than ready. Heck, even Damon, the ultimate unserious of the family, was suddenly protective. I could tell his anger was his little way of stepping up to his responsibility. He was clearly the boomerang that would strike out the enemies.Then, there was Peter. The awesome and ultimate browser. He seemed to be having the blame tendencies with how he was trying to make it his fault that something had happened to anyone especially the person that had been taken. I could tell that he was going to make one heck of a protector too.Then, there was Jacob. As calculated as ever. He was the one who saw it all and perfected it all in his head. He had his eyes on his goal and would do everything within his power to shield his family.And then
Peter Of course I had a lot to say to him. I had lots of questions especially surrounding the fact that he has spent his time in Jace's room. I had woken up this morning feeling really curious over the fact that he had slept there. I probably hurried down for breakfast in hopes that I would catch him there early but upon arriving at the dining area, Garrett was not there. Jacob was already eating."Took you long enough." He said to me,"Where's Garrett?" I demanded."You wouldn't even say hello to me?" Damon asked me.I mean, we both were buddies. Unlike that asshole pretender among all of us that would act like he did not care that Jace was among us when he would sneak into his room. Why on earth was he sneaking around if his intentions were clean?"Hello, Damon." I said to him without looking at him as just then, Jace came to pour out my tea.By the moon goddess I caught Garrett's scent on him. Or was I imagining it? It made me even pissed at him that I was prompted to stop him fr
Damon They pretended like they had everything all figured out but I could tell no one just had the balls I did to go face it off with those nasty bounty hunters. They needed to understand and know who's boss or they would not fear us.For the longest time, I had studied our history with the bounty hunters and how they came into being. It had been a group of humans who thought highly of themselves and neglecting their evil deeds was what led us to this point actually. We could have reacted or even treated them at the onset rather than letting them grow stronger. Our ancestors made this grievous mistake that was eating into us and now, it was just too hard and impossible to ignore.Now, I had said what was clearly in everyone's mind and I suddenly was the crazy fella they needed to tame? Is there any form of hypocrisy that was greater than this? Nevertheless, I decided to follow their plan only because of one thing, I needed to pinpoint the location of those assholes and then, I would
Jace The previous night with Garrett had been really something and for a long while as I laid beside him, my mind was actually wandering as I pondered over what was happening. I mean, we kissed and definitely had a feel for each other which was not totally weird but why? Why did he have to do this to me?Do not get me wrong. I enjoyed myself and was clearly beginning to embrace whatever this was between us. However, alas, I could not even begin to help myself with the kind of thoughts that I was having. It seemed like I was beginning to lose myself. Whatever the case here, I did not want this moment to end. The thought that after all this is done, in the morning, he would act like he did not know me really hurt me. I wanted to be acknowledged clearly. I wanted to matter to him no matter how little it may seem. I did care so much after all about this guy.Or so it was beginning to dawn on me.He felt really good. And right now, he held me in his arms as he slept through the night. Too
Garrett I had fallen totally. Jace was such a lovable person that made me feel so much desire to draw him closer to me. We shared a little moment that night but it meant so much to me. The trouble I had been having sleeping disappeared the moment I drew him closer to me and cuddled him. It was as if a really big weight had just been lifted off my shoulder. I did not even care anymore about the bounty hunters and their troubles. All I cared about was this moment that we were sharing.It was a night of bliss. I did have the most stimulating yet exciting dream too. It all led to me wondering what it would be like if I could just stay here with him forever. By the time I opened my eyes again, it was still dark but I knew it was morning. The birds were beginning to wake up rather early and I checked the time. The entire house was quiet. Which was really good and I looked beside me at him. It might be dark but I am still a werewolf. I could see basically everything about him and for the f
Jacob It was beginning to feel really weird and I could not even start thinking of how. Jace was creating a sort of commotion between my brothers and I. Not like he knew about it but his presence made everyone, me included, lose our senses. It was like we all revolved around him and trying to make him feel happy about himself and things around him. This time, I could not even start on how pissed I have been through the whole discussion indicating how he wore Garrett's scent. I was angry and jealous at the same time. These two emotions were things I never really enjoyed dealing with.I had to be the reasonable one between them all which was why I decided to go away first. I did not even care to know what Garrett had come up with from his findings over the night as the thought of him being the bone of contention this morning really had me going crazy. Perhaps, I would sneak into Jace's room and get rid of Garrett's scent once and for all. That seemed like the best thing to do and bein
Peter I was actually fuming in my room at this point. Everything and everyone seemed to have gotten on my very last nerves making me feel like some anti hero. I started wondering if they could have been happier had I died the previous day. Just maybe, a lot of things that were happening would not have occurred between us all. I was hurt and scared at the same time. Everything seemed to make no sense to me anymore and all I wanted was a little peace of mind. It was the bounty hunters. They probably were messing with my mind. Had they not returned, I would have kept on playing it cool with everyone including my brothers. No one would have to hear me get angry. Not even that asshole, Garrett.Speaking of Garrett. There were things about him that were beginning to creep me out. For instance, while I had been arguing with him, there was a scent that I recognised as Jace's. If I did not know better, I would have suspected him outrightly. I just wanted to believe within me that Jace had gon
DamonIt has been a while since such a moment happened between my brothers and I and it felt as if a new beginning had started. I was totally flustered but I learnt to relax eventually. It took a while but eventually, it was over and done with as Harold stated that I should be allowed some air. Peter was the first to walk back to his seat and he really looked pale at this point. I was worried about him and then turned my attention to him."Damon , I don't suppose you saw the person who was following you or dare I say people but it proves one thing, we're all not safe out there and for now, it would be best that we come back home on time. I was also thinking of suggesting that we now go out in pairs, that way, there would be backup at all times." He said, looking at me.That definitely was not the reason for the backups. It had everything to do with me and the fact that I was frolicking with a vampire. It was clear to me that Harold wanted to know who I was hanging with and I still cou
Damon Seriously, what was with all this friction? I mean, hell it has been established that I was with a vampire but Harold was just being crazy. First, he had been mad that I was with a vampire and now, he was mad that I let him go. What on earth did they want from me? Perhaps, I should have grabbed the vampire and brought him back home so they could kill him, well I have made a promise to Ralph and there is no way that I would be breaking that trust. I mean, look at Peter here. I was certain that Harold had been yelling at him when I came back and from how prickly he had been when I complimented what I suspected to be a tattoo, I knew something was terribly wrong.I mean why not focus on one before delving into the other, right? That is how things should be done and not spend a lot of precious time whining and groaning about me. I was about to lash out when Peter suddenly asked where Jace was and was alert. I mean, I was not planning on being the reason that he gets to discover the
Peter "It's just a tattoo. It's nothing, right?" I asked him."Is everything okay?" Jacob suddenly came inside as he seemed interested. Garrett went and sat on a sofa close by.At this point, I was beginning to feel really worried about how Harold was looking at me. I could literally feel my heart beating in my head and all I needed was an explanation of some sorts. Anything just to point me in the right direction of what he was talking about. Jacob too looked confused and I realised he did not know what was causing the old man to act this way over a work of art. Apart from Garrett, another person in the house who really appreciated art was Jacob and I was looking forward to him embracing me with arms open wide.Just then when everyone was in this moment of shock and dilemma, Damon decided that it was time to return. Seriously, that was not what I wanted. I was hoping we would be done with my issue so we can face him when he returns. I wanted to ask Harold to hold off my case so we w
Harold Things were beginning to go out of control and I was losing my wits with so much that I needed to worry about. The boys were beginning to fall apart and it was clear that the wish of my Alpha might be the moon goddess actually will. I mean, what was there not to think about when it seemed as if everyone was trying to outdo the other. I decided that I would take one more step and trial towards trying to mend everything that had been broken.I reached out to Jacob. He has always been the most sensible of the bunch and even now at the moment of chaos, he was the only one still trying his best to make everything fit properly. He had his eyes on the game and still had eyes for family. I suggested that he goes and talks to Garrett who I still noticed was angry because of the scent Jace was wearing. But then again, I still had to stay and wonder what it was about Jace that had everyone fighting each other. Certainly, I did not want to think this was like my situation as that would be
Damon "Is this okay for you?" I asked Ralph as we entered. My phone started ringing in my pocket again and I was tired. Seriously, could I not be left alone to do my own thing? This was beginning to feel like I was being baby sat."Aren't you going to take your call?" Ralph asked me."It's home. I'll speak to them later on my way out. Right now, I need to know that you're fine with this." I said to him,He walked around and then went and closed the curtain that I had drawn open and then smiled at me. We had arrived and instantly I started getting him settled. I had taken him to my bedroom as I had thick black curtains and he could use them there. Although, the entire house was at his mercy right now but very soon the sun would come up."It's cool. So long the sun does not penetrate, I'll be fine. Thanks so much for everything. It's really hard to see anyone of your kind that's willing to help even though it would help them too." He said to me,"Well, we're not all the same. But stil
Peter Now it was sealed and apparently that was something I would never be able to escape. I felt really sad at this point because it would definitely turn really bad for me and I did not want that. I could not imagine that I would have to risk the life of my family, especially my brothers, at this point. All I could do was begin wishing to the moon goddess that he would be killed by bounty hunters before anything happens. That way, I might actually escape the fact that I had a blood oath.He looked really chill over what had just happened and I smiled at him. There he was, willing to listen to everything I have to say now that he had me in his clutches. If he was also about to do anything for me just for an opportunity to meet with my entire brotherhood, then that means the price would be far greater. Something right now told me that he wanted our lives or something. He was a rogue and a crook. Definitely someone I could not attempt trusting or I very well have to acknowledge that I
Damon I now had an ally from the other world and now I needed to start making plans. I had to ensure that he would be safe and wished that our kind did not have this sharp sense of smell. This was when I asked him where he wanted to hide and he told me he had no idea. Now, the tunnels were the only option but it might be rather risky as it was a known vampire hiding spot. That was when a not so bright idea crossed my mind. I asked him if he would be willing to follow me somewhere that he would be safe and he looked at me. He still did not trust me obviously and everything that I was saying right now was probably sounding too good to be true. I would definitely have to try harder if I wanted him to believe me."Listen, I had this home where I used to throw parties with my friends. It belongs to me but I've not been there for sometime now. I could drive you there and then help you settle in. That would be our base and we can work from there." I said to him,"And how do I know that you
Jacob Everyone was being smart and acting how they desired and I totally did understand it. There were no more groups and despite the fact Harold had asked that we work together, it was everyone on his own which did not seem fair at all. I needed something to keep me busy with and after I had seen Peter in Damon's room, my fears were confirmed. There was indeed trouble in paradise and he was suspicious of his brother at this point. I did not want to go inside because I pretty much would not want Damon distrusting me too. He might be cool and finally understand why Peter has acted that way but when it comes to me, it would be a whole different ball game on its own. Now, I needed to focus and see what I would do to stay relevant and contribute. I made my way to my bedroom as I started reviewing my lists and compilation. Today was the day when I would have to go check out on everyone else that I had yet to look into. That van had to be found by all means, so I knew that I would have to
Peter I looked at him for a moment, his expression daring me as if he wanted to see if I would back down. Well, I was going to prove to him that I was not a pussy or whatever he was imagining in that head of his that I might be. I started taking off my shirt and then went to sit down on the bed while he looked at me with a smile upturned but never actually forming at the corners of his lips. He then asked me to lay back as I might need to relax and I did so when he asked me if I would be needing a drink or something that would help distract me from the pain. "Well, it's not like we get drunk like humans do, so, there's pretty much no point getting a drink. I'll see through it with my head clear." I said to him,"You're one determined son of a gun and that's great. I guess we would have to choose what tattoo you would be getting and where. You see me, I pretty much have them everywhere but you can select." He said to me and before he would go on to speak, I decided on what I would be
