Where Secrets Hide Chapter Sixteen
Proper Villain Behavior Thalia Thalia woke up slowly, and from the first second was coaching herself in her own thoughts, trying not to make a bad situation worse. She paid attention to her breathing, then popped one eye open, she was facing...the dresser? She couldn't see him. not yet. Apparently she had squirmed a lot in her sleep though because she now lay across the middle of the bed and could feel the light air coming in from the open window brush over her toes. Open window? who the heck kidnaps someone then leaves the window open. amateurs. She moved slowly, closing her eyes and heaving a tired sigh. She didn't roll into anyone, didn't hear anyone move. Slowly she looked again, fully expecting to find the handsome creep sitting in the corner watching her, but nothing. After a few more minutes of silence, she got up and tip toed to the door to press against it. once she was sure it was empty she popped the door open just a bit. Empty hall and she could see right to the stai

Surprises and Bacon Koin Azier would not shut up. Like a hormonal teen wolf, he raced along the confines of Koins mind trying to push out. She was beautiful, perfect. And wet. Why was she so aroused? And looking at him like that? Every time he thought he was a step closer to understand her she changed. How was he supposed to keep up? He had gotten distracted with taunting Connor who had lost his chance with the twins this morning, but when they had settled again he noticed her staring at all of them with wide far away eyes. He came over to her slowly "Thalia?" he asked concerned. she seemed to jerk at that, but tried to cover it quickly by stretching "Yeah?" She said as casually as she could manage. he had seen it though, and she was being very careful still. he sighed deeply deflating slightly "Are you alright?" He expected her to say something along the lines of yes, but she didn't. instead, she cocked her head to the side, her stormy eyes taking in all of him it seemed "What'

Fact Or Fiction Thalia Thalia felt to comfortable here, and wildly out of place at the same time. Obviously the woman was the reason she was caught, but how could any true heathen receive her message yet disagree with her plans? Her mind kept flipping back to his name, Koin. How simple it seemed, it matched him so well. She rolled her eyes at her own lack of self-control regarding him. So now they were just. Moving her in? s he picked at her bacon eyeing them all. Cautious of the food when he leaned in a bit closer "You should really eat." She glared at him. She should eat? of course she should. hell after 3 years of saving extra from school lunches and cheap freezer foods she should be scarfing down this delicious meal and going for seconds. She wouldn't. she would pick and toy with it and take small bites to savor. they wouldn't just make her comfortable here. A golden cage was still a cell. She huffed and picked at her food, scooting away from him a little. She was shocked

War Unknown She had jerked awake that night, her chest pounding. What the hell was that? The presence seemed so familiar, but..changed somehow. changed from what? who was it? Family. she knew that much. She could feel her own lineage in the message, a calling. She had been dreaming of the days to come, the summer festival and her hope for Roiken to ask her hand. Then the images before her dissolved and a violent, harsh vision took shape. A massive church, the doors locked and Dagaz, the rune of Dawn, her family rune was painted on each wooden entrance, shaking and trembling as people screamed from the other side. Flames ignited, a path from the parking lot rolling and expanding to the base of the church, up the sides, scorching and growing as it engulfed the wood. It's time. It's time. That feirce determined voice beckoned her into the chaos, an invitation to join in this carnage. She sat in bed for a while, trying to steady her breathing, but she could hear others moving in the

Acceptance Thalia They were mostly silent through the rest of dishes, and Thalia couldn't manage to fight back the feeling growing in her. She wanted to tell this woman. She wanted to divulge every horrible moment of her life and cry against her. She hated it. Hated herself for how quickly it took hold of her. She had to do something. She took hold of one of the plates in the strainer and flung it against the wall before taking off, not even sparing a glance back at Rehida. She was sure someone, if not the woman herself would storm after her, but no one did. She spotted a cracked door and carelessly threw herself inside, slamming it and locking it behind her. She stayed there breathing hard, listening for footsteps, there was only silence. She let out a deep breath her attention shifting to the room. It looked like an office? kind of anyways. Directly Infront of her was a huge window, black curtains blocking the view outside, and Infront of that a massive cherry wood desk with a w

Sorry Ladies Koin He had no idea how much he really needed a good training session, and wow was Connor really kicking ass this time. Extra work outs the past few weeks should have him ahead, but his diet or lack of, had him weak and even a bit unsteady on his feet. Catching Thalia watching them had Azier excited. He wanted so badly for her to see him, to feel his soft fur. He was absolutely convinced that if she met Azier she would fall wildly in love with him and spend the entire day letting him put his head in her lap. Koin couldn't help but to grin every time Azier brought the image up for both of them *I bet she's an animal lover. what girl wouldn't want a giant warm bodyguard. * Koin smiled shaking his head as he pulled clothes back on, training now over for the day *Or she'll be scared. * Azier huffed *Whatever. you just don't trust me. * Koin swallowed hard *I know you wouldn't hurt her. but. She’s new to all this I think so..Just give her time ok? * Azier grumbled and retr

Not Yours Thalia She woke with a jerk as she felt something tap her side, turning and sitting up in the same instance. That guy..koin, he was crouched down beside her, the sunup behind him giving a framing light to his chiseled features. Why did he have to be so damn good looking? Well really if monsters were as ugly on the outside as they were inside then we wouldn't trust them in the first place would we? she sighed and stood "Ready?" she grumbled heading for the door. He stood up slowly watching her go "Well. You looked comfy so, Connor and I went ahead and got your stuff.." her heart dropped, and she turned on her heel to glair at him "What?". he swallowed some studying her "It's all...upstairs." he said quietly "I just thought.." She shook her head and stomped upstairs, stopping in the hall when she realized she didn't know which room. Didn't matter really because he was already behind her and gestured to one of 3 doors on the right "Uhm, that's your room. we set everythi

Weird and Weirder Connor Things just kept getting turned upside down lately. Now Rehida, the woman who had raised him was something else? He knew the woman had secrets, everyone pretty much knew her origins were a don't ask subject, but. Witches? His mind kept flirting back to the day Rehida sat them all down on the back porch. The way Dedrick seemed so soft now, his hand rubbing small circles in her back and his eyes full of concern. "A long, long time ago, when heathens and Vikings began to raid, then to migrate to new lands, they would build what was called and Apex. This was a place of great spiritual importance, and there the keepers of tales and legends built homes and halls alongside gifted individuals, most called Volvas, some called Seers, though there were many names." He couldn't get over the way her eyes seemed to sparkle as she spoke, everyone listening in and even shifting forward some. "The task was simple, to bring home with them, to give the children places to c

Just to Say It Iyla Ordia was dead. Beyond any repair or hope she was gone before Iyla even opened her eyes. Gone and she had given her last day to protect her and her sister. All of this because of 1 woman that Iyla was sure was perfect. She couldn't comprehend it all. Rehida was the responsible for Thalia’s attack, but why? All of this was rushing through her mind, even as Connor sat her down under a tree to go help Koin and Thalia do whatever they were actually doing. She couldn't bring herself to ask. After everything she and Ordia had suffered together, she was taken away so quickly Iyla hadn't even had time to know it before she was no more. Thalia was on the phone with someone, talking quickly, Iyla watched her, her thoughts still moving backwards to that terrible place. The strange creature told her that she would server the Gods by serving her or him. Then Thalia dropped in, and the creature actually ran to hide. It gave an earie laugh, too much air and not enough feel

What Beauty Can Disguise Koin He and Connor had taken their seats again, watching from a distance as his mother moved around the circle with some kind of herb, smoke wafting from it in heavy plumes as she whispered something. Then Ordia came into view, slowly, studying Rehida. Connor sat up a little "Over here" He whisper yelled to her, but she never looked in their direction. She was very focused on what Rehida was doing, her eyes moving over the circle slowly. A strange sort of energy was beginning to build, even Connor could feel it and they both stood "Hey? What’s going on?" Connor called out, understandably feeling panicked. Rehida stopped moving to look up to her and the two locked eyes. "Traitor. Thief. I know your name now. I know what you've done. What you would like to do." Ordeia told her. Koin stepped forward ready to interfere with whatever battle was taking place when his mother’s face twisted into a sneer, an almost inhuman expression, the corners of her lips pulli

Till The Worldly Grave is DugIylaShe had been dreaming about the ocean, her and Connor along with Thalia and Koin all just enjoying a long beach day, making sandcastles and learning awkwardly, to surf. They had their first kiss. Their first beautiful, magical, perfect kiss. Then it was night. That quickly. She closed her eyes as he kissed her, opened them and she was alone with the stary night sky above her. It was amazing, but she noticed something floating out on the waves, rising with each crest. It appeared to be a body!! She screamed for help, but no one was coming. She couldn’t remember why, but she wouldn't waist time. She ran out into the shallows of the shore and dove into the deeper water to swim out and try to grab onto the body, but she could no longer see it. The waves were getting much bigger now, she couldn't manage it anymore. One wave would lift her then crash her down into the depths and by the time she resurfaced to take in a breath another wave would slam down o

Like Bones Digging Deep Thalia This whole situation was making her skin crawl. Iyla had talked to her weeks before hand about how her venture into the dream scape was her first try, and if Ordia hadn't been there she probably would have been to scared to go for it. Sure, Iyla was a little reckless, but usually her misbehavior was due to curiosity, not an outright want for danger. Why would she have just randomly gone for a walk? How had Rehida known so quickly? She couldn't get her mind to shut down for a long time, no matter how many deep breaths she took, something about what was happening was far more unsettling than their main focus. Iyla had been in the dream state all day, it was hard telling how far away she was, Thalia could only hope that these last few days with Koin and feeling grounded would center her enough for her to also find her way back. Her biggest help was the fact that Thalia had taken walks at least twice a week for the past few years, the dream scape was nea

Respect Your Elders KoinHe couldn't even begin to understand, the things his mother was describing mine as well have been in a completely different language. He still felt Connors panic, and Thalia’s as well. Connor sat on Iylas right side holding her hand while others rushed around, Thalia had scooted to put Ilya’s head in her lap and stroked her hair. All he could do was go get the things his mom requested and watch. He knew the basics, that these women could somehow disconnect their minds and metaphysical bodies to move around freely in the world, he had seen Thalia do it herself, catching him being a pervert the day she was brought here. What he did find odd was that Ordia had left and not returned. Ordia had been like a grandmother for Iyla, and from what he understood had practically finished raising her after the attack on their village. Why would she not want to be here helping. Finally, as dusk settled in Rehida ordered most everyone away, except Thalia, Connor, Koin an

Of Shadows in Dreams Connor School sucked without Iyla now, he never noticed before how much people complained. The adults and the kids all just had negative things to say. There seemed to be no actual escape from it. All day long. I'm tired. I have a headache. I'm bored. My phones dead and I don’t have a charger. I stayed up all night talking to my boyfriend so now I can’t keep my eyes open. It was never ending, and how did he not catch on before he met her? It was like no one could see the good in the day at all. Before going home, he and Koin stopped at a grocery store and he went in to get a little bouquet of sunflowers, some chocolates and a movie. Even if she couldn’t go to school they could be lazy in bed, he even preordered pizza to pick up on the way home. Only when he got home she was out. He snuck in and put the flowers on her bedside table before going to set up the little living room with extra pillows and throw blankets he had brought over from the main house. Ordia

Familiar Noises Thalia She was in some cave, a massive circular space with tunnels all around, at least 6. Someone is there. She can hear them faintly whisper. She can see the light of the fire reflecting off the wet stone, but every time she turns her head to look the flames and the form have moved, just shadow against the light. “Red is the rose which petals wilt, Red are these hands,Red the life blood, Blood of body, Blood of family, Blood these roots like bones digging deep.”The voice sounded familiar, but not at the same time, maybe once beautiful but it was now a sickly tone, a hissing whisper as if the words to bold to take real sound. Then she woke up. She gasped in breaths as reality settled on her, the cool morning air sneaking in the window. Koin was getting dressed by the closet and he smiled seeing her "Good morning." He came over slowly to kiss her head, but at the last moment she tilted her chin up and let his lips meet hers instead of her temple.He chuckled

Freaks at FestivalsIyla She would've settled for having her sister back and living pretty much anywhere but Louisiana. How could life get any better? Not only did she live in a beautiful place with great people, but she had a boyfriend!! He was the best; he was funny and smart and could toss her around like she weighed nothing. He even let her sit on his shoulders to pick cherry’s. Ordia liked it here too, her job was to help run the little day care down the hill while pack members did their usual daily work. If only Thalia was better and could come hang out with her, but she was having fun doing her hair in the mornings, Thalias hair was thick and curly and held so many tones of warm red and brown. She always liked her own hair, but it was kind of boring, always straight, never held a curl, or hairstyles either. School was great too, but Koin was always in a bad mood, and Connor became very serious when they walked through the doors also. She knew why, they were looking for whoev

The Foreboding Koin He couldn't believe his life was actually playing out the way that it was. Everything seemed perfect. Thalia was finally no longer fighting him, maybe she didn't talk constantly and divulge her whole life’s story, but she didn't push him away anymore, didn't try to run away with him. Every day he got to hold her, not just when she was crying. Every day they had breakfast and dinner together. Everyday felt like a dream come true, and while he wished she wasn't hurt, he was oddly enjoying taking care of her. To add to the blissful peace that had come into his life, his brother was more than happy. Ilya was just the girl for him and watching Connor stair at her dreamily made him chuckle often. He was like a goofy love-struck puppy dog. He felt a blossom of hope when Connor told him Iyla had not only seen his wolf but looked forward to hanging out with him in wolf form. He could only dream that Thalia will be so in love with Azier, cause the big guy was all about he
