BLOODY MOON (Lycan Pack Manor) ROLEPLAY

*Christian's eyes shift showing his wolf trying to come out as he looks over all that are still standing there* I doubt they're still there, if I were them I would go mobile, probably hiding deep in our own woods now, these hunters are unlike any of the wannabes we've ever encountered, they are well verse in our ways and even for a bunch of humans they are by all means Apex Predators! They killed Patrick and Claire almost under full moons...They aren't afraid of our power and this..*He looks down at the ashes of Claire's body* This was to send us into a frenzy so we can come at them fully out of control. *Looks at Sheena* With the exception of you Sheena, they're mistaken, we don't act purely out of rage like other lycans do..Our hearts are harden and know that when hunters and lycan cross paths someone dies..They're using Claire to make us lose control and rush into them and lose our lives..I will not give them the pleasure of killing anyone else! Alice you're an Alpha once more, I can not order you to do anything anymore but I would like for you to take whoever you need and track their whereabouts. Do not engage them until the rest of us get there....I want this done by Sunset tomorrow..They will all be dead...But their leader is mine anyone lays a claw on him they will have to deal with me!


(Post for the hunters next post)
 
Andrea smiled a little at Caroline, "I think that it's a good thing to not lose our human side, otherwise we would just be beasts, I think that it is probably because of lycans like that that the hunters are after us now... those that just act like mindless beasts, who have lost the human that is inside them." she said quietly as the smile faded, she couldn't imagine not being human, at least in part.


She tilted her head as Caroline suggested making booby traps, she shook her head slowly, "It would be a good idea, if everyone was here so that they would know about them too... But as it is... if we did that and everyone else came back, the first person through the door would get the shock of their lives." she said, she did agree that it was a decent idea, even if it just slowed them down a bit as well as giving extra warning, but she didn't want to chance hurting anyone in their pack.
 
Sheena is following along with Christian well enough until he gets to the part of his words about her being an "exception." This is when she finds it difficult to concentrate anymore. An exception? Why is he singling her out? Does he not think she's able to match up to the rest of them? Or is he saying she is the one who acts purely out of rage? Or that her heart isn't hardened? Or that it is?


Frowning, she puts one hand to her hip. "How am I an exception? What is that supposed to mean?"


Rikarah, for her part, is also somewhat irritated. Alice had already given her orders, and now she cannot tell is Christian is encouraging others to rebel against them or if he is simply repeating them. And what was the statement about their hearts being hardened? Was that a jab against her, when earlier he had criticized her, stating that she cared more for art than for people?


"Our hearts are hardened?" she says evenly. "I assure you that we all feel for those they have murdered, Christian. And that is exactly why we must get vengeance for them."

"I don't want to be like that," Caroline decides aloud and adamantly after thinking quietly to herself for several moments. "I don't want to lose humanity. I'm going to be human and Lycan. I can be both. I know it. And so can you."


She smiled slightly at Andrea, but the girl's discouragement of her booby trap suggestion makes her frown again. "Well us being safe from the bad Lycans is better than people maybe getting scared. I think we should."
 
I'm not saying you're weak Sheena, I'm just saying the rest of us have more experience dealing with this, we know how to bury our emotions so that our minds don't become clouded, the fact that you think I'm insulting you is proof of that, now calm yourself because I did not say you weren't going to be included in this fight..I refuse to let rage rule us and get us killed. If you can promise you'll keep your cool then I'll be happy to have you fight at my side....Alice I'm not trying to step on your toes, I'm just offering my own insights to the matter.


*Deep in the Eastern part of the woods down wind of the pack's manor, Joseph and the remaining loyal hunters including his daughter Abgail are dealing with another break in the ranks. 2 more of the hunters decided to go out and kill, this time they brought back the head of Riddian and had to nerve to brag about how they killed a little wolf also... Joseph was steaming* YOU FOOLS! Who told you to do this! We hunt when I say we hunt, when we've made all the preparations to wipe them all out at once! *He takes his rifle by the barrel and swings it like a bat across one of the men's back sending him slamming into the ground.* Do you think you're doing something taking a wolf here and there..ALL YOU DID WAS GET THEM PISSED AND BY NOT KILLING ALL OF THEM AT ONCE THEY CAN TURN AND HUNT US! You've fucked everything up! instead of a clean sweep we're gonna have to get bloody and fight them head on, and trust me you two morons will be the first I let meet that Alpha..If not for that I would shoot you myself and used you as bait to draw them in..SO I SUGGEST YOU GET YOUR ASSES UP AND INTO THE THOSE BLINDS AND TAKE NEXT WATCH BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND NOW GET!


*Abgail steps towards her father* So what now dad, we weren't planning a head on fight, should we just pack it up and bug out?


We could be a couple of hundred miles by morning, we could come back in a few months when their guard is down again.


*Facing his daughter he sighs* I want you to take that truck and go back to Atlanta for reinforcements, if you drive fast it should take you 2 days to bring back help, we'll have to stay and try to handle this while you're gone. And don't say it, I know what you're thinking but it won't work. A wolf can track a human over hundred miles and Alpha can track one across the country especially now that those idiots killed a young one...So go, I promise we'll be fine, this isn't my first rodeo.
 
Even Rikarah found herself to be somewhat unsettled by what Christian is saying. She does agree with what he is saying- Sheena is young, impulsive, and emotional, much more so than Rikarah herself is comfortable with or approves of- but Sheena questioning Christian and his judgement of her is not, to Rikarah, proof of those tendencies so much as simply questioning. Nevertheless she remains quiet, watching how the puppy will handle it.


Sheena frowns, staying silent for a few minutes and seemingly making an effort to be calm herself before she finally responds. Taking a deep breath, she says to him, "I'm not NOT calm. I was just asking. I can do this. I'll be fine, I promise."
 
{Nathan frowns at Alice} So I guess there is no chance of us taking off for Bermuda for a few months now that you have to lead again? {Pops her on the butt} Just don't go bossing me around because you're an Alpha now, of course because you're about to be my wife chances are you're probably going to boss me around anyway so I'm screwed either way. {He looks back over his shoulder at Jason} Just stay focus kid. {sliding his arm around Alice, still looking at Jason} Protect what's important to you the most.


{Jason was looking down when Nathan said to protect what's most important to him, it's Esme he had to protect Esme. He looks up and to see what direction she went in and ran after her. He had to run pretty hard to catch up with here and moved side by side with her and nudging her with his shoulder.} Look I'm sorry you saw that, it all just hit me pretty hard seeing Claire like that but I promise you I'm got my head clear again and I'm back, I have to protect what, who is the most important to me and that is you. So I will not let you down again.
 
Andrea smiled a little at her, "I agree with you, being both isn't bad, it's just finding the right balance and being able to accept that you are a human, and you are lycan as well." she said, then she tilted her head a moment, "Alright, we'll set something up, but maybe when everyone is here we can talk about setting up traps that can slow down anyone that would come here to attack us." she said with a small nod. She stood and went to look for a few things, after a while she came back with a few bells and some string, she went to the front door and tied the bell to the doorknob so that when the door opened it would ring, she did the same thing with the back door. "There, no one will get hurt by this, but it will give us warning so that we can be prepared for the worst if someone comes inside." she said as she returned to Caroline.
 
There's a quick stab of guilt as Nathan talks about going off together, and Alice realizes that it'd be a very long time until they would be able to have any alone time together. With everything going on now, their reunion couldn't have come at a more worse time. She wished she could go back to the day before and spend just a little more time with him, had gotten to talk more... she hadn't expected these hunters and getting shot at, and now their members getting picked off like cattle, one by one and with no warning...just thinking about it all was enough to push the new Alpha over the edge and she had to force herself to stay calm, only relaxing when she felt her mate's arm go around her.


After everyone had said their piece, Alice shifts her weight, clicking her tongue against her teeth. "I'm not going to stand here and bash your former alpha, but if Esme had done any of this days ago then we wouldn't be in this damn situation..."


The smell from Claire's ashes makes her stomach turn but she swallows hard, pushing back the lump in her throat and runs a hand through her hair. "I can go into town, use what I can from the station to track these guys down myself...then we can go from their...the best thing we can do now is keep everyone safe. Rika, I'm appointing you Beta in my absence...I don't want anyone leaving that Manor unless I, or Christian say otherwise..."


Giving Nathan's arm a gentle squeeze, she moves from his grip and looks around. "We should all head back there now...get some sleep, and then I'll head out first thing in the morning...the sooner we track down these sons of bi****s, the better..."


Looking around at everyone, she nods once, before heading back in the direction of the manor.


-----------------------------------------------


Esme had come to a stop at the edge of the manor, unable to bring herself to run anymore, when she sensed Jason as he came up alongside her. Turning, she collapsed against him, hiding her face against his chest and forced herself not to get emotional as she just breathed in his scent, focusing on keeping calm.


"I failed Jason..." she mumbled against his shirt. She couldn't keep her eyes closed for too long, before images of setting Claire's body on fire started to haunt her, and her grip on his shirt tightened as she released a growl. "What was everyone back there saying about me? Is Sheena upset that I stepped down? Are you?"
 
Hearing Alice's plan to leave, Rikarah's face goes solemn as she nods, accepting her new position as Beta with no real happiness or sense of triumph over it. Though the position was one she had wanted and showed that she was valued and trusted by Alice, at least, she would not have wanted it to occur under these circumstances.


"Are you going into town now or waiting until tomorrow?" was her only question as she walked quickly to catch up with Alice, coming along side her. "It is true that we could all use rest, but I do wonder how long we have of a respite until they strike again. The speed and rate of attacks is ridiculously rapid and we need to be bracing ourselves to respond to another."


Sheena, overhearing this, frowns more deeply as she follows them, worrying for the two girls left back at the Manor and for all present with her now. She feels very exposed even moving with them, and she glances back over her shoulder frequently as she walks.


**


Caroline is appeased by Andrea's simple trap, and as she steps back, watching intently, it isn't very long before the bell rings, causing her to jump and scream.


"It's them! It's them, they're coming to kill us! Get the gun, Andrea, get the gun!"


But when Rikarah opens the door, raising an eyebrow at her, Caroline stops, flushing. "Oh. Uh, hi."
 
Andrea jumped as well when the sound of the bell rang through the house, she grabbed the gun, though she didn't point it at the door, she would wait until she saw who it was before she pointed the gun. When she saw it was Rikarah she sighed with relief and set the gun down again, "Sorry about that, we were just wanting to make sure that we knew who it was... and I guess we were both on edge." she said as she glanced at Caroline, she was glad to see that Caro was at least calming down now that she saw that it was someone that they knew.
 
"Regardless, I am glad to see that at least someone is even slightly prepared to defend themselves," Rikarah told her, shaking her head, as she continued into the house, a startled Sheena on her heels. "Do not apologize, Andrea, it is all right. Though I would have preferred you be safer still and have the gun ready to shoot if there were any doubt as to your safety."


Caroline ran up to Sheena, grabbing her arm and half hugging her as she looked up at her, her eyes wide and shining with her relief to see her return. "We were going to make a trap, Sheena...did...is Claire...did you bury her, or..."


"We...we took care of her," Sheena avoided answering the question, slipping her arms around Caroline's shoulders. Looking behind her at Rikarah, she asked silently with her eyes whether Caroline should be further updated as Rikarah answered for her.


"We have much to arrange. There have been far too many deaths as of late and it is time that we avenge them and properly defend ourselves. No more hiding, we are on the offense now as well as the defense and we must work fast and strike hard."<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2013_07/tumblr_mopj5fcJFZ1rgvg6mo1_400.jpg.8cc96e33f62608ae28e81ac0bb434687.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="3220" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2013_07/tumblr_mopj5fcJFZ1rgvg6mo1_400.jpg.8cc96e33f62608ae28e81ac0bb434687.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>

{Nathan stood there and looked at Alice impressed, she has always been an effective leader, the fact that a pup was picked over her reeks of pack politics, one of the very reasons he doesn't do well in a pack for long but when he did enjoy pack life it was when Alice was sharing power with Christian, together they are a fierce team of leaders. When Alice appoints Rika as her Beta, he grins on the surface but in his mind he's celebrating, this is a role he did not want so when someone else got it he's relived.} Rika as Beta, it's a good choice, in fact there is no one here better suited for the job. However I will be coming to town with you tomorrow, I'm not letting you out of my sight for now on, as Alphas you and Christian are major targets, you know remove the head and the body will die type of thing. Besides I finally get the guts to start planning our wedding and I won't let anybody ruin our plans.


{Jason held Esme tightly, rubbing her back.} Esme you didn't fail anyone, perhaps all of this Alpha stuff was to soon and two much for you but that doesn't mean you will never be a good Alpha someday again, Claire and Patrick's deaths are tragic but as I have now remembered it's part of the lives of a lycan. In fact you'll only be a failure if you don't admit your own shortcomings. Now come inside with me so we can try to forget this day.
 
Andrea looked at Rikarah as she told her that she was glad she was prepared, though that she should have been a little more prepared by being ready to shoot. Andrea kept herself from flinching at the idea of shooting the gun, or even pointing it at anyone, she sighed some, "I... I need to learn to use it, and I'm willing to learn if it means helping to protect my pack." she said quietly, she just needed someone to teach her. She also would have to get over her pacifistic urges that tell her that even holding the gun is wrong, these people were out to kill them, and even though she wasn't an important member of the pack, her hesitation could cause others to die.


She looked at Sheena as Caroline asked about Claire, she closed her eyes, to her the death of the little girl was terrible, she hadn't done anything to deserve death, as far as she knew Patrick hadn't done anything either, their only 'crime' was being something other than human. It was nothing more than killing someone because you didn't like their skin color. Andrea found herself wanting to hate these faceless killers, but she felt almost drained as she thought of hating them, maybe they had their reasons, but it still didn't make it right that they attacked innocents.


"Then it's time for us to make our declaration of war?" she asked Rikarah, she sounded quite calm even though she didn't want this to happen, she saw it as the only choice unless they ran, but with their losses, it was hard to imagine the pack running when they wanted revenge.
 
"I can teach you," Rikarah says to Andrea directly, nodding. "Caroline as well. I am better with knives and other weapons but I can use a gun when needed, and so should everyone else."


At Andrea's next question, she glances back at the others behind her but speaks for herself. "It would be my advice. We cannot afford to let them continue to hunt us down without retaliation. I cannot speak for them, but I myself would choose to refuse to let them continue in this vein."


"War?" Sheena sounds surprised by the word but adjusts quickly, nodding. "I can shoot a gun, Rikarah. I can do whatever we need."


Caroline too nods, though she looks a bit more hesitant. "I was gonna shoot a gun if she'd let me but she wouldn't. It was my idea to do traps though!"


Sheena smiled at her, ruffling her hair lightly. "Nice, Caro."
