WILLIAM
William bristled as the stranger unceremoniously interrogated him. Who was she to ask these things about Mackenzie, about this place? She begged for his trust, but the words for a moment. The briefing with Alaric was fresh in his mind. Murehuanon had seized his wife... he was trying...
WILLIAM
William glanced up from where he cradled his head in his hands as the door, hearing the attached bell ring. Alaric's form stepped through and he scowled, readying himself for another round of verbal sparring with the angel. He didn't have the will or the inclination for it.
He didn't...

Collab Post w/ @NanLia
William's jaw set as Chase suggested someone taking Skye and running off with her. He knew the idea came from a place of good intentions, but he found his grip tightening on the marble countertop all the same. It was all he could do to let Ashley-May speak her...
ELIJAH
Elijah's fingers drummed lightly against the side of the bassinet. Skye and Liam dozed inside: peaceful and oblivious. Eli was thankful for that. The longer he could protect them from what loomed beyond the borders of The Mountaineer, the better. He and Ashley-May had had a number of...
ADELAIDE
Adelaide hefted a small spade up onto her shoulder, letting out a sigh before tossing another to Gideon. "I don't know," she answered honestly with a glance toward Gideon. I dispersed the wards with the idea of keeping them hidden, keeping them secure while making sure they were...
WILLIAM
โAddy is going to move the wards, in case sheโฆ"
Ashley-May's voice trailed off, but it didn't matter. Will's mind didn't hesitate in finishing the sentence for her: ...in case she breaks. He couldn't bring himself to meet her eyes, even as she squeezed his hand and spoke up with a...
ADELAIDE
Adelaide pursed her lips, digesting the information Gideon supplied her with. Mac was gone... No, not gone. Taken. Pain lanced her heart -- as much for William and Skye as for herself -- but she didn't let the feeling reach her eyes.
A red-haired angel? One who knows Mac?
That...

Lincoln - Outer Perimeter
Xander scanned the inner perimeter of the prison below him, which looked unfamiliar and all the more foreboding than usual in the green haze of the night optic in front of his eyes. Nothing grabbed his attention and that worried him. Things were going too...
WILLIAM
In any other situation, William might have been wearing a prideful smile seeing Ashley-May take charge over the Mountaineerโs scrambling residents. But at the momentโฆ he could scarcely think of anything other than his wife. Until now he hadnโt realized just how accustomed he had become...
ADELAIDE
Adelaide was already wide awake by the time the fists were pounding at her door. She had felt something manifest on the grounds of the Mountaineer. A newcomer, albeit familiar. One who had no business inside their wards.
Her wards.
She felt the pang of guilt shoot through her...

Bags hung from chains, worn mats on the floor and free weights stacked in the corner. The cavernous space was still. Those who came there before work didnโt wake up yet, those who were coming after the...

By the time Font arrived at the peak of the hill, he felt every bit the dead man walking. Sweat coated his body. His vision was dark around the edges. He had trouble catching his breath. He was tired, so tired. In fact, he...

TW - Violence, Blood
Xander crawled up to the berm slowly, wincing at the pain that flared up in his side. He forced the sensation from his mind, poking his head up over the crest to survey the silhouette of Lincoln State in the distance. It almost looked majestic...
WILLIAM
William had been close -- dangerously so -- to giving a reply of "yes" to Gideon's question. He did, in fact, want to see the newcomer shoot Alaric for as little good as it would do any of them. He didn't get to see that, but he got to see something almost as satisfying when Ashley-May...
WILLIAM
William's heart wrenched at Alaric's jab.
That was your job.
The matter-of-fact statement made Will want to swing at the man โ angel, whatever โ but he held himself back. Not only because Skye was currently occupying his arms, but because he knew that Alaric was speaking truthfullyโฆ...
