Assassins of Garbage Thalia She had every intention of going back to sleep in her own room, if only to send her sister some signal of where she was so the others might find her. Then she heard the car pull in, and was more than surprised to realize, she didn't even notice Koins parents had been gone. Now they would return home to learn of her destruction. Good. she told herself. let them see the wrath they had brought on themselves. No matter what she told herself, she still felt bad. Sure, they had pretty much imprisoned her. but...had they? They gave her a room, good food, let her shower and walk around their house freely. She was at war with herself now, and after all that had happened the night before, wished she wouldn't have done it at all. The growl had her somewhat squirming in bed, fighting the fear that crept along her spine. What would they do to her? how had she not considered his parents at all? She braced herself, laying there in terrified silence for what felt li
The Plan Koin Coming home from school, he was more impatient than ever. Kept imagining the many ways that his parents might punish Thalia, and what her rebellious reaction might be. What would they do if she couldn't be controlled? if she posed a threat to all of them. He didn't think she did, she seemed to sincerely feel bad for what she had done, still... He was at the wrap around one lane road that led through the back of the packs property when he and Connor spotted them. Connor laughing as he nodded to the visible river bend up ahead "Guess they had her cleaning up." Koin sat up a little as he slowed, Thalia had been paired with Ann, for that he was thankful. Ann was the easy-going jokey type, and probably wouldn't be as harsh on Thalia. They both had big bags full of trash sitting up on the bank, well out of reach of the water, but they were in the river, jeans rolled up while they splashed around, yelling at each other. He hadn't seen her so carefree like this, not angry or
Chores and Things Thalia Just like every other time she began to feel good and settle, her day had come crashing down. Ann was fun, not all serious and grumpy like it seemed everyone else was. Picking up trash had hardly felt like work at all. They spent the day mostly talking about food and the summertime, Ann apparently loved to cook, which was cool because Thalia happened to love eating. They raced and made a game of finding cans, and even seeing Koin didn't bring on its usual rush of confusion. She was even a little excited about the fire, a chance to meet people, and possibly blend into a crowd again. Her heart dropped as she came to the house, reality crashing back into her. She had almost forgotten about what would be waiting for her. The way Dedrick looked down at her, the state of their living room with missing wall where there had once been family pictures. It made her feel all to guilty, and she couldn't get upstairs fast enough. It both amazed and bothered her that the
Just in Time Connor Well he was done for. One of the twins had found her mate, so now her sister was looking for hers, and very firmly believed that she would not find him or her wrapped up in Connors sheets. He had tried to persuade her, to explain that it was just a bit of fun, could be years before she found her mate, was she just going to. Not have sex? He was more than sad. Cordilla was just about his idea of a perfect girl. She was sweet and innocent, always happy it seemed, and had been his favorite go to for the past few years. The only thing that ever threw him off was the same issue he had with every girl he hooked up with. Wolves in general didn't date or stick around with their fuck buddies, it was just sex. Call him soft but he always felt a little robbed that when they were done she would just get up and go. Why was it so strange? burn calories and wear yourself out, where was the food and a nap? The first time he suggested they go hit up a fast-food joint in town, a
Strawberry Pie Koin He stood at the bathroom door a while listening and jerked when his dad cleared his throat "We need you to take the foot trail around to Meridians house, take some of these strawberry's so she can start on pies for the festival." Koin was so startled by being pulled from his ultimate focus, Thalia's hand between her thick perfect thighs. He was also instantly ashamed that he was standing out here in the hallway just listening to her. He gave a quick nod and was already heading out the door when his father called out "The strawberry's son!" Koin nodded mumbling to himself "Strawberry's yeah..strawberries." He whispered going to the pantry to get the two massive buckets from the storage fridge. He had made it all the way to the foot trail and halfway to the crossroad marker when it dawned on him how ridiculous this task was. His father had just instructed him to get 2, 5-pound buckets of strawberry's and walk them 2 miles through the forest to Meridians house, for
Misplaced Trust Iyla She didn't have the heart to tell Thalia everything right now, or to try and talk some sense into her. She trusted Ordia, knew the old woman only wanted what was best for her and her sister. Still Thalia had asked for help, to be rescued. and she had very specifically said she didn't want Iyla to go there. Iyla had done the exact opposite. Instead Ordia had tracked Thalia's location, using Iyla as a marker in the dream state, and she had made plans for Iyla and the two brothers from their village to go meet up with her. That also changed, because her sister was being held somewhere for her own protecting. She was terrified and wanted to go save her, but Ordia insisted we wait and go speak with them, see the whole situation for ourselves. She was happy either way to leave the farm and go somewhere else. She was not disappointed with where they wound up. Ordia said it was Discord Pack lands, where the largest portion of the pack members lived, the Alpha and Lu
Lost Again Thalia This boy was going to make her crazy. All night long she was tossing and turning. Playing with herself was not getting her anywhere. Even when she got off, her mind would wander back to Koin and she was wet again. To make matters worse the few times she did drift off she would wake up convinced he was in bed with her, and he wasn't. Then the bed felt too big. When she heard the birds starting their predawn works, she threw back the covers, rolled out of bed and marched down to his room. This was his fault. the least he could do was put up with her in his bed. She didn't attempt to sneak. After all she had caught him being weird. this wasn’t as bad as his transgression. She hopped into bed beside him, his back to her and his face turned towards the wall. He jumped and turned, his hands out to grab her and she huffed "Calm down it's just me." She grumbled. he softened and smiled, letting out a breath as he looked her over. She smiled in return, amazed once more at
Disconnected Koin He couldn't go back to sleep, but he could pretend. He felt exhausted. Azier was howling, going nuts behind the barrier Koin had put in place. When she first crawled into bed with him he felt relief, he was excited, he just wanted to pull her in and be close to her, she wasn't even crying, this wasn't just for comfort. Then the memories dug themselves out of his sleepy mind. She didn't want to be here. She was actively trying to get away from him. And he had made his decision. Even if it destroyed him he would not be some ghastly beast forcing her to stay chained to him. So, he would deny her. even when she reached out to him, he would not take the bait. It tore him up to put her out like that, to see the way it hurt her. the way he hurt her. again. Once she had left the door he fell back into bed and covered his head up. Connor was upset. He wanted Koin to go with him to take Thalia to these people like they had planned. he refused. His parents didn't ask or pus
