Ordan idly thumbed through the menu which was short, given there only seemed to be various pizzas. The wait was short as someone came from the back he prescribed and began greeting him in a bored tone. “New here, given I haven’t seen this place before,” Ordan response, figuring the person might be truth to be friendly to her more money. Ordan looked up from his menu nonchalantly, not recognizing the figure. White hair with violet or magenta eyes...probably contacts as humans didn’t have such eyes. The worker didn’t look very old either, late teens he assumed or early twenties.

Hearing himself addressed, Ordan lifted an eyebrow as he studied the figure, unable to place a face or name. “Do I know you?” However he may not recognize the figure but he did know his scent. He studied the figure, trying to place his voice, and not paying attention to the doors locking or the animatronics beginning to awaken like demons possessed. Why would he? Stuff like that only happened in video games.

The man had dropped the notepad and pencil in his shock at seeing the Custos alpha, the wolf’s brows now furrowed as he stared at the figure, before snapping his fingers as he suddenly placed the voice. “Scythia! When you ran away, I figured you would do the smart thing and leave Ithawell. Not stay and open up a business. Where did you get the money?”

"Oh shit! Oh shit! "He yelled as he backed away, fiddling with the remote as he activated the machines to target ordan, backing away from the counter as he heads to the backdoor exit to the garage , firing the entire clip at ordan without knowing he used all of the ammo. Praying that the robots would kill or distract organ enough for a good while he ran in the large parking lot and started to struggle with unlocking the car , fiddling with the keys glancing him coming towards Scythia " shit this isn't supposed to go like this !" He points the gun point blank at ordan before a click sound was made and that was when he realized he was out of ammo

Now really, there was no reason to freak out! All he had done was question where Scythia has gotten the money for someplace like this and chastised him for being foolish. He hadn’t even gotten to order anything. Okay, perhaps he had been sarcastic when asking but he was curious. But no, the runaway slave he had offered freedom to had pulled a gun seemingly out of nowhere and fired several bullets at him! Seriously?

“Really Scythia? Again you shoot at me?” Ordan questioned before seeing the machines coming to life, the wolf snarling as some of the bullets hit him and the human ran off towards the back. Watching the machines amble towards him, the alpha studied them before ducking one that shot flames at him. This is some fucking Saw shit! Next thing ya know, Pennywise is gonna pop out and start hacking people to death.

Ordan snarled to himself as the heat of the flames passed over him, sizzling the counter he had been standing at. The alpha crawled away from the area and stood before dashing towards the front door...unfortunately the alpha found it locked and tugging at the door would not open it. “Oh for God’s sake!” I’m going to kill that brat for this!

Ordan looked around, noting the animatronics seemed to be focused on trying to surround him, coming face to face with one such clown animatronic that smiled rather...creepily in the alpha’s opinion. “Hi! Let’s be friends!”

“I don’t think so,” Ordan rumbled as he ducked the clown’s outstretching arms and ran to his left, only to get smacked into a wall. Blindsided by the unexpected blow, the alpha fell in a crumpled heap to the floor, his head spinning as he felt the back of his head throb. What hit me?

In his head Achilles whined uncertainly. “This is some creepy shit. Why toys attacking?”

Ordan shook his head as he couldn’t answer Achilles for the pounding in his head, the alpha dazedly noting the animatronics following his every movement and ambling toward him. Coughing, the alpha tried to sit up, putting a hand to the back of his head and feeling the skin was tender, a bruise beginning to form. That’s going to sting in the morning. Alright...plan two.

Ordan painfully got to his feet, using the wall to help heft himself up off the floor, chuckling as Achilles spoke. “This place sucks.”

“No shit Achilles,” Ordan said sarcastically. If he couldn’t get out the front way then that left the back way. The alpha bolted towards the counter, vaulting over it only to get his leg caught and slam down onto the floor, half hanging over the counter. I’m so suing Disney! Ordan struggled as he tried to turn, only just managing to see one of the animatronics had hold of his leg. This is so going to hurt, he thought as the animatronic began dragging the alpha back up over the counter, as he didn’t even bother quenching his angry growls. As he was dragged back up over the counter, the alpha twisted his body and kicked out with his other foot at the animatronic holding him, the alpha screaming as he was dropped and hearing more than one thing snap as he dragged his body back over the counter before crawling away from the counter.

Ordan struggled to his feet, hobbling as fast as he could through the back rooms, following Scythia’s scent and wiping at the blood coming from his nose, heading for the back exit and forcing his sore body against the door, the alpha falling onto the ground in the still pouring rain. Coughing as he lay there on the pavement, he got to his feet and found himself in a parking lot, the alpha looking through the rain that lashed his face and moved across the parking lot towards Scythia, who lifted the gun towards him and fired, only for a clicking noise to be heard. Blood continued streaming down his nose and face as the wolf’s eyes flashed silver, the alpha reached him by sheer luck and will, making a fist which he threw at the boy’s face.

Scythia lunges out of the way as ordan was about to punch the kid in the face, his face going pale as ever from the terror struck in him. From lunging out of the way he landed on the concrete floor and started to curl up , forming into a tight ball he thought it was the best chance of survival as he ducks his head between his legs as he whines and cries in fear of being hit by ordan " please don't kill me " he whimpers

As Scythia dodged the attack, the momentum of his swing, fueled by anger, crashed into the car’s driver side widow, sending glass falling and his hand to get cut up. “Why are we not hunting humans again?” Achilles questioned snidely in the wolf’s mind.

“Don’t kill you? You tried to kill me and shot at me...twice!” Ordan shouted as he heard Scythia’s pleading. The alpha was injured and sore, as well as being in a bad temper. He kicked the car in anger, only serving to hurt his foot in the process. He kicked at Scythia’s side even as the boy begged for his life. “You have been nothing but trouble since I bought you and now you don’t want to die?” The human was puzzling, given this was the second time he’d been shot at by the boy. “What do you want then? You rejected my offer before.”

" OWWW!" He groans as he was kicked and he whines as he lays on the ground whining. His mind was feeling a start of conflict between his sleeper agent self and the Blood order self . The blood order wanting to kill him yet the other wanting to get away or be with him. Groaning and moaning softly he looks up at organ once "'I ... I don't know anymore....." he looks back to the ground feeling lifeless and helpless as he tries to get up slowly

Ordan was happy to say he was amused with Scythia’s cry of pain and whimpers, the boy looking up at him and daying he didn’t know. Ordan used his ability to detect lies to see if the boy was lying, reaching down and hefting Scythia up even though it hurt physically to do so, leaving forward and setting his ear against the boy’s chest to listen to his heart which was slightly erratic. He rumbled to himself as he shook his head while pulling back. Not detecting a race in his pulse, Ordan spoke. “Focus on my voice and breathe. Why do you insist on staying here?” Ordan did not understand Scythia at all. Why would he stay knowing the dangers that lurked in the shadows?

Scythia
Ordan

His body starts to shake constantly in fear as he cannot resist anymore against organ at the same time the body gives up on him and he falls down to curl up yet again. This pattern of random behavior is due to the trauma and such mental damage to Scythia as he is sure to be broken and shattered to different pieces as it was a combination from the blood order membership, the sleeper agent, the betrayal of ordan before, and the membership of the corporation has mentally scarred him and is causing his behavior.

" I... I need help.."

He pleads softly as his breathing is inconsistent and is freaking out internally

Obviously. The thought came to him as he watched Scythia slump to the ground again, once more curling up. Ordan didn’t bother with trying to get him up this time, his eyes on the door he had come out of when pursuing the boy and trying to escape those crazy toys. Sighing, the alpha slowly sank to the ground, putting a hand on Scythia’s back. “I said before you needed therapy,” Ordan said. The kid was making him soft. Even after he’d tried to kill the alpha, Ordan was still trying to help. Perhaps it was to make up for his own sins and crimes.

Turning his head to look at the human, Ordan studied him. Ordan was still under the impression the boy had been born to a prostitute and raised a slave in the brothel, not knowing the kid was a sleeper agent for the order that would kill him and others like him. “Some people can’t be saved.” Had he not said those very same words to Silvia? Repeating only what had been said to him when in the army. Ordan shook his head, not wanting to relive that memory.

Even if he took Scythia back, what was the likelihood that Scythia would recover mentally? What was the likelihood he would be preyed upon by the Blood Order or killed by a rogue wolf or vampire? Possibly turned into one of them? Such a thing might completely destroy the kid. He wouldn’t wish being a monster on anyone. Well...maybe the order that hunted them.

“He’s weak. He tried to kill us. He injured us. Damaged. Kill him,” Achilles spoke. Ordan was silent, not answering Achilles or speaking to Scythia as he considerded his next actions before sighing.

Getting to his feet, Ordan pulled Scythia up with him. The alpha kept ahold of Scythia as he pulled the lad into a one armed hug. “Breathe...” Ordan said. “I’ll help you through this suffering.” The wolf awkwardly patted Scythia’s back, whispering nonsense to try to calm the teen and lull him into not fighting as his other hand wrapped around Scythia’s head like he was supporting the boy. Indeed that might be what it looked like to any passerby though none were out at this hour, just the two of them. “You’ll be free soon Scythia...just breathe and relax....” As he spoke, he lowered his voice so the words came out in a whisper, the alpha twisted the boy’s neck to the side, hearing the crack of bone, focusing his hearing on the boy’s heart as he twisted further on the neck before letting go when the heart stopped beating, his arms going to his sides as he released the body.

“Nobody will ever hurt you again,” Ordan said as he looked down at the still form. The rain continued its mindless downpour, the alpha not even noticing now as the cold chilled his skin and soaked his clothes. He had a job to do....

Hearing the troubles and struggles of ordan alice started to hide and be cautious at first , pulling out her cursed knife alice starts to get really nervous and scared, feeling the sense of curiousity come to her as she heard the door close when ordan went to the parking lot with scythia. Feeling the need to help her master she walks nervously to the door, opening it and walking to the parking lot where she saw her leader become killed in her about to be killer's arms, a sudden feel of a rush came to her senses as she was right behind ordan, stabbing him many times with the cursed blade (4) as the blade marks turn the body parts black around the wound. Her petite and weak nature is More deadly to the touch. Like a rose she is beautiful but with many thorns on her~
" that's for Scythia!" She shouts while stabbing ordan, the gangrène working it's way on his body

Location: Illyria Corporation Parking Lot/Dungeon passages of Custos
​

As Ordan stood there, watching the rain fall down upon the still human form of the human he had "purchased", shot him twice, offered freedom in a way and a home, only to end up killing him in the end; the alpha did not hear the sound of the back door opening and closing once more. The rain falling down and running down Ordan's face masked the tears that could be mistaken for droplets of rain fell onto the pavement, fell onto the body that he wasn't really sure what to do with now. He still had that girl to hunt down as well though with his sore body and possible broken bones, he wasn't sure how fit he would be at the moment to kill someone else, let alone mentally. One would think being in the army would have hardened Ordan to death and indeed it had, the curse given to him by the enemy after his capture should have made him...more...well like Boreal or Lichen. Beastial and primal...and it had...but somehow...he had retained onto a sliver of humanity that was locked away for years until coming here to Ithawell and running into his old friend and comrade in arms, Zumitri who had helped him when he couldn't go home....couldn't go back to the military life. The alpha shook his head with a sigh and that was when she attacked.

The alpha did not hear the girl sneak up behind him, the rain thrumming in his ears, the cold soaking into his skin and his head throbbing regardless of the pain. He was sure to be in some pain tomorrow, physical yes, mentally drained possibly. That all depending on if he was alive tomorrow, if he could even make himself move from Scythia's form. In the end, perhaps he had betrayed the boy, not once but twice now. Suddenly, he felt something enter into his back, slicing through his shirt, the attack taking the alpha wolf of Custos by surprise. Yet the blade was pulled out and stabbed again into his back, the second blow hard enough to send the alpha to one knee as twice more the blade was driven into his back. Ordan stayed silent though, not uttering a word as he forced himself to his feet and turned to see the girl he had been looking for.

Ordan snarled in anger as he stared at the girl, the alpha glaring at her for several moments in shock and unbridled fury as he made a fist again and slammed it into the girl's face, sending her reeling and falling onto the pavement. "I thought I glimpsed a rat earlier," growled Ordan as he stared down at the girl who had given him so much trouble. The alpha walked forward and raised a foot, purposely bringing it down first one ankle and then another...though he was probably better off ripping her legs from her body after kicking him earlier. The alpha stared at the knife that fell from her hand as she hit the pavement, the alpha walking over to her and kicked the girl in the head for good measure to make sure she was down for the count. Turning back to the knife, he studied it before picking it up by the handle and dangling it in front of him, eying it.

"Taint," came Achilles in his head. Ordan was silent before going to the car Scythia had tried so desperately to get in and reached into the glass covered seat, undoing the lock and opening the door just enough to slide the knife in the crack before slamming the door shut, listening to the knife snapping.

"Now Scythia...what to do with you?" The alpha pondered that question before sighing and picking up the body, tossing the handle into the car as well and then shoving the boy through the window. The alpha turned to the door of the building. "What to do with those abominations?" Ordan yanked up his shirt and tried examining his back where he'd been stabbed, seeing four small wounds there and the skin around the wounds turning black. "Okay...that's not normal." Ordan tapped his fingers against the car's door. Pondering on what to do...the rain showed no signs of stopping and he didn't have anything to light the car on fire with. Leaving Scythia's body there in the car, at least it would be semi protected from the rain, the alpha turned towards the unconscious form of Alice and picked her up before carrying her back through the streets towards home. As he got to the edge of his territory, the alpha dropped the girl on the ground, staring down at her. "Why couldn't you have just died?" he snarled down at the girl's unconscious form as he stared down at her before dragging her this time through the mud, the alpha already planning on throwing her into the dungeons.

Ordan headed towards home, frowning as he saw a car in the driveway that didn't belong to his pack. Snarling in anger, Ordan remembered Jaehwa's words about Silvia letting someone into the house. He really needed to do something about that girl. Entering his home, he headed through the house towards a set of stairs that descended down to the recreation room, the slave quarters and the cellar where food and wine were stored. Heading down a hidden passage, the alpha entered behind a bookcase and disappeared inside, heading through the twisting tunnels until he got to the dungeons, dragging the girl along the stone stairs that descended into them, then through the stone corridor where he threw the girl into a cell and chained her to the floor. Locking the door, the alpha then retreated upstairs, the wolf only getting into the second passage leading towards the dungeons before his body gave out and he collapsed, Ordan dragging himself over to the wall. "Whatever that brat stabbed us with isn't good," Ordan spoke to Achilles, the wolf huffing in agreement. "God this stings like hell."

"We need to get that looked at Ordan and we need to get those bullets removed."

"They aren't silver...we'll be fine Achilles. I just need to rest a bit." Ordan did not call out to Jaehwa for two reasons. He didn't need these strangers thinking he was weak and use it as an advantage to take over his pack. He also knew, depending on how many people Jaehwa was around, he would be able to pick up and track the alpha's scent. Ordan trusted Jaehwa to not try tracking him with strangers in the mansion.

Alice
scorpiodragon

Being punched into the pavement she groaned in pain as she felt dizzy, her head not feeling the best as she tried to get up he kicked her head as she was down for the count.

Being unconscious and helpless her knife disintegrated and reformed I to her secret hiding place where she stored her cursed knife on her body. Being thrown in the truck and abducted was the best idea if not killing her otherwise as it would remove the threat from going to blood order. Her emotions whining and whimpering about loosing her friend and master as she couldn't think of a life of anything without him. He was there to help guide her despite the dark and dangerous tasks she was set to do.

The knife wounds were no ordinary wounds that were to be jabbed Into ordain, the cursed blade poisons start in gangrene and spread eventually all throughout the body as it kills the nerves it comes in contact with making it painless but effective. The more stabs the faster it will kill as within two days the poison would claim his entire body but it might reach his heart, head or lungs before that.

Awakening in a dark dungeon she awakens to feel a collar around her neck as she is chained to the floor and is unable to move, her hands tied as she can barely do anything. Her dress is torn and muddied as she can only sit there and wait in the shivering darkness for someone to come to her.

"H-hello? Is... is anyone out there? I'm lonely down here...

Ordan
Location: Dungeon Passages, Custos​

Being that the dungeons had a thick door, courtesy of yours truly, the alpha couldn't hear the girl waking up that he had brought back to the pack. Not knowing about cursed knives, the alpha didn't know that was what he had been stabbed with, nor that it would end up killing him if he didn't get help in two days. Nor did he know the knife had disintegrated when he'd broken it, or more so when the girl had gone unconscious. As it was, Ordan was trying to remain conscious himself, when all he wanted to do was go up to the tower and end up going to the alpha room to sleep off his injuries and give them time to heal on their own. The alpha coughed a bit in the silence of the stone passages underground, designed in such a way to confuse any hostiles, disobedient members or prisoners from escaping. The dungeons and passages leading to them weren't deep enough to cause starvation, they wouldn't take months to traverse but served their purpose. He'd had some of the slaves' he'd purchased traverse this area before he'd set them free....the perfect test subjects. That had been before he had met Jaehwa.

"Ordan...you need to call for your omega," said Achilles.

"I don't need Jae's help," said Ordan, struggling to keep his eyes open. "We've been through a hell of a lot worse than some pathetic pain in our back. Or do you not remember what we were? What I was?"

"Ordan..." Achilles sighed in exasperation. "This isn't that place where you and others were taken captive and held by hostiles. We're free...mostly."

"It's like you said before...I haven't recovered from the war. You're insane, let's face it from being nothing but garbage as the others were. You took over...too much and look where it got us? It got us out sure in the end...but we were nearly put down by friendly fire as were the others...now we're in another war that is waged in the shadows, stuck between three different types of enemies. Our only benefit is those abominations have been killed."

Ordan bit his lip until blood began dribbling down his chin, the blood from his nose being bloodied when one of those toys had grabbed his leg having stopped but the blood on his back was still flowing. It was highly possible he had broken bones that would need healing and possibly internal damage, pulled muscle and tendons, not to mention the stab wound and the potential concussion. Ordan couldn't die, he had no vampire alpha and no betas of which to step in if he passed. If Ordan died, his pack would be leaderless but Jaehwa knew what to do. Take Silvia and run...flee Ithawell and not return, even if it meant never finding a cure. "Ordan!" Achilles growl-shouted as the alpha closed his eyes. Him dead and his pack gone...that would be the end of Custos...the end of the Guardians who could protect the humans from the Lichen and Boreal packs...who could protect them from the Blood Order.

Well...at least if I die that girl will die, thought Ordan, a cruel smile coming to the alpha's face, ignoring his wolf's shouting. Nobody knew the girl was down here...she couldn't get out...and would eventually starve. A cold and slow death that might take weeks but she would deserve everything she suffered in the end. The alpha would never know just how he had been betrayed by Scythia and that girl...as he feared she would do if she were allowed to escape.

Blake
Shaded ​

Blake had been enjoying a glass of red wine when he heard Larkin's report. Taking another sip, he licked his lips and hummed. "I'll be over there soon. Well, as soon as possible." Leaving the half-empty drink to sit on the coffee table, he stood up from the couch and ambled leisurely to the front door, calling upon a driver to take him to the area near Custos' territory.

On the drive, the vampire closed his eyes, resting with a small smirk on his face. He didn't doze all the way, rather, he let himself drift off into a dazed, relaxed state. It was almost meditative in nature, a sort of peaceful repose that pushed away the migraines Blake was prone to receiving when stressed. To say he was stressed now, however, was an understatement.

His goal for all of this was simple yet he was starting to have trouble with it. Doubts. Uncertainties. Neither Boreal nor Custos were behaving quite how he'd expected. Sure, the differences between his vision and reality were slight, but they were enough to cause concern for Blake.

The car pulled to a stop and Blake stepped out. "Return when I ask for you," he told the driver, who nodded before rolling up the window and driving away. The smell of smoke pooled in his lungs from the obvious source of burning cars. Nose scrunching up in disgust, he scanned the area for Larkin, eventually spotting the other vampire watching the flames from a close distance.

"Fill me in," Blake ordered, moving to stand beside Larkin to watch the flickering orange and red flares.

Jaehwa
Shaded Galaxy scorpiodragon ​

Seeing the bleeding-out woman search for the now crying baby, Jaehwa bit his lip. Was the child hungry? Anxious? Tired? Hurt? The latter was ruled out; he trusted Silvia's opinion on the matter. It took a second before he realized that the former options could all be solved at once. Looking around the healing room, he saw some freshly folded towels. He picked one up and handed it out to the other woman.

"Here, this will be comfier than the coat. We have a nursery too; the baby can stay there while we treat your friend so you don't have to carry her around." At least, he thought it was a her. Never could tell with babies.

Jaehwa pause in his movements, a familiar smell hitting his nose. It was difficult to pinpoint what it was at first, the strong scent of iron from all the blood messing with his senses. Still, he persisted until he realized what it was. His body relaxed, all the built-up tension dispelling instantly. Ordan was back. Thank god. And yet... He wasn't calling out to him? Jaehwa hesitated, eventually deciding not to track the alpha down right off the bat. He needed an excuse.

"We have some formula as well, just in case." He paused, trying to word his thoughts properly. "I'm not good with medicine--that's Silvia's department--but I can't just sit here and do nothing. I'll go put some in a bottle for the baby. Her mother doesn't look well enough to breastfeed right now." He backed out from the room, focusing on Ordan's scent.

Was this foolish? Probably. Would one of the strangers follow him? Maybe. Maybe not. Was he worried about all that right now? No. There was a dying woman in the healing room, a baby crying in a coat, and an alpha he needed to check on. There was only so much he could dwell on, and his priorities were already set.

Following the trail to the dungeons, Jaehwa wandered through the tunnels. Without something to track, he was sure he would've otherwise gotten lost. He knew the dungeons had been designed for just that purpose, but how well it worked, he didn't know.

What confused Jaehwa more than the winding tunnels, though, was the smell of blood. He thought that the further he got from the healing room the less he would smell it, but the iron scent only seemed to linger. No... it was becoming stronger the closer he got to Ordan. The realization had his heart sink in his chest and he quickened his pace.

Jaehwa saw the red stained cobblestones just seconds before he saw Ordan. "Shit," he swore, the proceeded to repeat the word over and over again as he stumbled to his alpha's side. "Okay, okay, it's going to be okay." He couldn't even tell if Ordan was conscious anymore, and that frightened him. "It's okay, I'm here now. I'm here."

Whether or not Silvia already knew about the connection pack members shared, Jaehwa didn't care. If she didn't, this would come as quite the surprise but... "Silvia, please hurry and track my scent. It's Ordan, he's hurt, and I... I'm so useless I can't even help him." He pressed his hands against the injuries, hoping to slow the blood flow. Red fluid trickled out from between his fingers."I need you, I really need you right now."

Being cold in here and lonely made her feel that sitting in here was the possible worst thing she can do as she knew the night would get colder and she would freeze to death... looking at the vendange she realizes it's only rope and that she can easily break those bonds than the chain on her neck . Nibbling, licking, and biting the bonds she has her way with tearing up the tight ropes as within time she finally broke free from such bondage... the iron neck chain was a different issue tho as she knew she couldn't be free with that so she had a better idea .

Pulling out her knife she starts to try to find the weakest link near the base and start stabbing it repeatedly and forcefully. Making marks on the chain she knew she was making progress until the knife broke, sheer pain broke on her hand as her knife shattered and disintegration, her knife reforming at her hidden spot as she continues again. And again , loud chinking noises from her room as she continues to work on the chain ... it will take a while but she's determined...

Tyress
He came in from rain, his wet hair plastering around his face, as the young woman let him through the door. The rain had made the woman he was carrying bleed even more... or at least it seemed like it, as the blood mixed with the water. He had no idea why he was helping these people... maybe it was the large wound on the woman, maybe it was the baby, who may have reminded Tyress about himself when he was a child... he sincerely hoped the mother would survive for the baby's sake.

As soon as the male came, and showed him to a room, he followed him, followed by the woman holding the baby and the one who opened the door. He placed the woman delicately on a bed that was there and stepped away. As he looked down on himself, he saw his clothes splattered with blood... that wouldn't be good for him when he went back. He looked on at the pale faced woman as she lay on the bed, reaching for her child in a feeble way, and then letting her hand go limp again. The same face that he saw turning back, as the bike rider shot at them.. it still looked young.

He stood there a little awkwardly, not knowing what next to do. He was aware that he was in the heart of one of those packs that his father had taught him about... yes, this was probably Custos, although he wasn't sure. He had been as apprehensive about going here as the woman holding the baby, but he had acted in in what he thought the most appropraite for the girl, and it seemed like he was right, it didn't lool like she could have lasted without help much longer. He didn't want to stay here long though, if they found out that a dhamphir was in there headquaters...

Isabella walked in as the woman let them in. As soon as she saw them, she got quite flustered, and lept right into action. Isabella hasn't seen her here before... a new recruit maybe? My luck, she thought, Custos gets the medical fledgling, I get the pregnant one. But she decided to asnwer as many of the questions as she could, as the young woman volleyed them at her. "Yes, I expect that she has lost quite some blood, its been quite sometime." She smiled slightly as the woman asked if it was C section, it didn't seem like she was accustomed to their ways yet. "No, the baby ripped herself out. I wouldn't put too much blame on her though, we were chased by the Order." she held the baby more tightly in her one arm. As soon as the male came down as showed them to the healing room, she followed them and the man carrying Audrey.

As she went inside, she just noticed the amount of blood on the mute as he placed Audrey on the bed. She wondered again as to why he would help them... then was interrupted from her thoughts as the male spoke to her, "That would be very kind." She answered, when he said they might formula. As he sped away, she turned to whom she assumed was the healer and said "I'm afraid I'm crowding the room. I'll stay outside to give you more space." and stepped out from the room and stood by the door, and leaned on the wall. The baby wiggled in her arm, and she adjusted her grip. She turned to look at her wound, it had started to itch now... it had turned a deep, dark purple now, as was still bleeding a little. Veins traced dark as they went towards the wound. How frustrating, she thought as she gritted her teeth against the pain, she would have to attend to it as soon as she reached Boreal.

Rushing after Jaehwa as he lead them to a room, she kept near the male in the back, she was hesitant with her as he walked her to the next room. She trusted him with carrying her but she was scared with the blood loss she suffered. “What is she?” she suddenly blurred as each got set down. Quickly shuffled to the woman’s side, she remained her biggest issue. She ignored her reach for the baby, her eyes flickering between colors again as she pulled off her jacket and began looking around the room. She needed to save these people, she needed to find tools. Silvia bolted around the room, picking up sharp tools like scalpels, then some tongs—a good way to describe them—and of course many different store bought materials. Herbs were an odd thing for her to use but she knew they would be useless in the situation she was in. She couldn’t do it alone and when Jaehwa kept to the baby she set her sights on the free male who had helped carry the dying woman in.

“You,” she stated looking him in the eye, “name?” she blurted before setting all of the materials she gathered up. Next she farted around flying each cabinet open until she found towels and other cotton based fabrics. She also looked for a needle and thread—she would have to sew the skin back together when she stopped the internal bleeding. Surgery is where she excelled but birth was not. “Take these towels, don’t get freaked out or I will kill you for killing her,” she commanded gruffly before pulling out some medicine, “apply pressure,” she directed, pointing towards a lower section. “Do not squash her insides, do it lightly enough that you won’t kill her,” she concluded.

While that was going on, she would then focus on preparing her tools. She would have to examine her insides and in the process of doing so without a monitor hooked up, she began peeking around and circling the table before getting to work, “There’s no way—she didn’t have one baby. There is too much open space—she had twins,” she mumbled before shaking her head. “Do any of you know her blood type?” she asked, “what would be better is if she were a vampire—just feeding her would be a good solution,” she huffed before quickly threading her needle. The thread was similar to stitches and it was tough so it wouldn’t tear completely.

As she began repairing some damaged tissue, a voice echoed in her head, making her grimace and nearly loose consentration. Silvia was rushing and taking her time but when Jaehwa demanded her attention she didn’t know how to respond to him—let along know where the he had went! Silvia let outa growl, she was busy. There was too much chaos, just too much! She could handle this incident barely without three nurses but she settled for one, and then she had an entirely different patient to help somewhere she didn’t know where!

She wasn’t sure if her temper was spiking or not, her hands frantically sewing skin back together, her nose glaring as she kept looking back st the baby. The mother was near death—needed blood but she would have to fix her body up before actually giving her a blood transfusion, she also lacked the blood to give her! Giving a person any type of blood would be dangerous, not mixing well with the existing body and could easily send her into cardiac arrest—another way to kill her.

“I need you to watch her, make sure she doesn’t stop beating her heart. If she does, give her CPR. Do not, and I repeat do not push directly on her ribs or I will break yours too!” she warned quickly, her flustered state was rapidly increasing. Now that her patient wasn’t at risk of dying on the spot, she had to bolt and find Ordan and Jaehwa. His voice in her head, no matter how shocking, was distraught and it didn’t feel good. That’s why she left, why she had to quickly high tail it out of the healers room, he needed her and she had to get down there as quickly as she could get.

Running through the house, she did what he had asked her to do. She found him with Ordan, and her brows furrowed, “Stop that, help me pick him up,” she decided quickly. He would not last down wherever they were. The large door blocking her path and then having to follow his scent was stressful already she couldn’t work on him down there. If it was evident enough her clothing was splattered with blood. Blood that she couldn’t save for the woman and had to quickly rush to seal her wounds and repair her fully. She had done it in record timing but she believed that was do to her sudden increase of sight that allowed her to see the vital arteries that needed repair. The baby had made quite an exit in that c section, it was horrorific. Bending down, Silvia looked to Jaehwa, “It’s alright, Ordan will be grateful for your help not help me get him upstairs and back into that room,” she said softly this time round. She reached out, the adrenaline from working so fast slowing down as she reached a hand out to place on his shoulder encouragingly.

Larkin A. Andley
Location: Outskirts, Ithawel
Interaction: Blake Kipsy

The flames were high, burning hot if he got too close. The golden haired male was standing tall by the time Blake arrived on the scene. Larkin was observant, blue eyes watching as his alpha approached. He hadn’t quite turned his head, just watched as Blake came up to stand beside him. “Boreal’s newest member was the one behind the attack earlier, she was pregnant,” he informed before pointing towards the cornfield, a streak of the flames ran across the road and into the field where it would hopefully catch it on fire when the rain halted. “Her child tore itself out, they were being chased. Two other vehicles in total, this bike and car were the targets,” he concluded filling the other male in quickly.

Directing his attention behind them towards the Custos territory he pointed, “Alpha came by, the wolf was hunting someone, left his territory unattended—I don’t know if he caught on or not but if you were injured with no where to go, what would you do?” he mused with a grin, “That’s right sir! The nearest available home, Custos is too close to not go to. Pregnant vampire—now having had a child, and maybe two other pack members—I’m guessing—are holed up within their territory,” he finished.

“Of course, that’s just me assuming correctly. That this incident was a Boreal one, that the birth site over there was a vampire’s birth site...and you know something. Wouldn’t that make the child a pureblood?” he suddenly quipped. He hadn’t thought about it, having a turned and pure parent, “Never mind that,” he quickly dismissed his earlier statement. The vampire was most likely turned while pregnant, so that would leave half blood...child.

Larkin looked down, the fire glimmering off of his face in orange and yellow hues. He didn’t want to show up and killed the child if it was a Dhamphir—it hit too close to home. His only daughter being raised as a Dhamphir was a touchy subject just like the death of his daughter and son was, which was why his face grew grim. “What’s our next plan?” he asked suddenly, turning his blue eyes on his alpha as the rain pelted onto his shoulders.​

Audrey/Nisha
Location: Healing Room, Custos
​

As she was carried through the mansion towards the healing room, the forever frozen teen's eyes remaining red as words floated around her head, not really processing them, her hand falling limply to her side as she was laid down on a table by the stranger that had carried her, Nisha's cries only causing the mother to become distressed, so why her dark side chastised her for not letting her protect the children, the girl was in simply no condition to move at all to go to the infant nor to feed willingly on her own. Unfortunately all that filled Audrey's nose was the smell of blood and the nasty wet dog smell of wolves around her. Her eyes darted around her at the lights in the healing room as she was set on the table and one of the wolves began approaching her, a snarl rippling from the female as she sensed Nisha being taken from the room. She could distantly hear words being asked about her and Isabella responding...something about the order...chased...ripped out.....

Her eyes closed as the light became too harsh for her but the only thing that swam in front of her was that monster's face that had cut the lower half of her dress and taken her son from her as she lay bleeding out on the ground, running off into the night rain, scent disappearing as the rain and her own exhaustion coupled with blood loss only served to remind her what a failure she had been towards her son and her daughter, not being able to protect them from harm, protect her son from being taken and now him being lost to her. She barely even registered a woman coming towards her with thread and needle, beginning to sew her body up, hardly registering the fact that the wolf had said she had twins....there was barely the registration of her eyes blinking at that, the blood not at all slowing...just as it didn't seem to be slowing for the Custos alpha hidden below ground. Her body shuddered in fear as that man's face and holding her son burned into her mind...Audrey didn't think she would ever forgive herself or forget the face of the monster that had taken her son from her.

However, the woman who was tending to her suddenly left. Audrey could smell her leaving before her senses became overfilled with the sweet smell of herbs and the harsh smells of iron and chemicals. She was mouthing something silently...one would have to lean in close and hope she didn't bite them...someone who could read lips as she mouthed only two words...Malachi...monster...her eyes filling with tears that began to run down her face, the thought of what might be happening to her son serving to make the girl's heart suddenly begin fluctuating.

Ordan
Location: Dungeon passages; Custos
​

Ordan continued struggling to stay away as his breathing grew harsher, beads of sweat beginning to appear on his body as he rested against the stone walls of the passage, the alpha not listening or hearing his wolf shouting at him to stay awake nor the sounds of feet approaching. The alpha's mind drifted away as Achilles snarled in anger within their head, the wolf taking over their body functions to keep their mind and organs functioning, even as pain wracked their body. The wolf shifted as he scented footsteps coming towards him and snarled mentally, taking time to register the voice of the omega as it crouched down beside him. Hearing words echoing around him, something crouching down beside him, the wolf struggled to open his eyes. Some time passed and then there was the sound of more footsteps and another voice, Achilles smelling blood and not just his own blood which was unknowingly staining the stones of the wall and floors. He could hear voices and the wolf forced his eyes open, yet what would meet their sight was not the hazel eyes of Ordan but the silver eyes of Achilles. "Omega...injured...back stabbed and black spreading..." Achilles gasped out through pain. "Need cut flesh out...or...maggots...stop spread.... Possible broken ribs and pulled muscles...four stab wounds in back with black something spreading around the stab wounds and into flesh...possible concussion from being thrown into a wall." Realizing the two wouldn't know who he was, the wolf rumbled to himself before deciding to introduce himself. "Name's Achilles...Ordan's inner wolf. Oh...and one of our problems is taken care of by the way omega...that disobedient slave Ordan bought. Too damaged for Ordan to help so he...set it free by ending its life...but that girl that escaped...she stabbed Ordan with tainted knife...causing blackness. You'd best act quickly, lest we die."

Jaehwa
Shaded @Ordan
Mentioned: Lenny2000 (very briefly)​

By the time Silvia made it to Jaehwa, his eyes were watering to the point where his vision was blurry. He really didn't know what to do and wished he'd read more medical books. At the very least, whatever he was doing wasn't working. Ordan didn't seem to be getting any better, but, then again, could he really expect 'better' from a man on the verge of death?

"S-Sorry," Jaehwa stammered when Silvia snapped at him. He couldn't even wipe away his tears what with all the blood on his hands. "I'm so sorry, I-I know you have a lot on your plate r-right now, I just--" His words slurred beyond comprehensibility and he started to weep. At her next, softer words, though, he managed to calm down, sniffling and drying his face with the edge of his shirt. So much for his earlier shower.

The omega started to get to his feet when he heard Ordan speak. No, it wasn't Ordan... those eyes... Ordan's inner wolf? Jaehwa froze, blinking with confusion and anxiety. He'd never been able to really talk to his wolf before, but that must've been what Ordan had been talking to in the bathroom all that while ago. Was Achilles a seperate personality, or--

Shaking his head, Jaehwa wrapped Ordan's arm over his shoulders and lifted the alpha to his feet, albeit with some difficulty. There would be time to ponder over Achilles later. For now, he and Silvia needed to get Ordan to the healing room. Thinking of his packmate, he hoped she understood what Achilles had said and knew how to treat whatever it was that was causing Ordan's body so much distress. And that little girl...

"Okay. Okay. You can save him, right?" Jaehwa asked, his voice pleading in nature. "Please tell me you can treat all that."

Adesina|Custos
scorpiodragon Kipsy Shaded ​

Adesina could sense distress within her pack/coven, her silver eyes flickering towards the Alpha's housing. She hastily made her way towards the housing, quickly rushing in through the nearest door. The Warrior could hear distant pleads and a few other voices; Jae, Silvia, and possibly the..Alpha? The voice was muffled horribly within the thick walls bellow. Finally it clicked; the dungeons. With enhanced speed, she made her way down the steps and into the dungeon corridors. She listened for another voice, another breathe; a female's voice coming from the left. Sina ran down the hallway to her left and began making her way through the winding passages of the dungeon until she finally stumbled upon the three. Immediately, she could smell blood and her eyes flickered towards Ordan.

"What happened?" The Warrior gasped before blurring over to give Jae a hand with the Alpha. "It smells..tainted," she growled and glanced down towards the wound. "Let me get him upstairs, Jae. I can help" Her voice softened and she gave him a small reassuring nod.

Looking at Silvia, she smiled faintly. "I'll get him to the room with Jae. Go get set up for whatever he'll need," she said before using her extra strength to take off the weight from Jae. "Everything will be okay, Jae. Just take a deep breath and think about how Ordan will be when he gets better; he isn't going to die." Adesina's tone was warming but firm all at once; she always had a good handle on these kinds of situations. She began to move, making sure Jae was steady and moving along with her in some sort of sync.

Ordan
Location: Dungeon passages; Custos
​

The healer hadn't said much but the omega was naturally freaking out. He seemed rather stunned about Achilles speaking....the wolf didn't think Ordan had ever mentioned him before. Well the cat was out of the bag now, the wolf waving it off as Jaehwa began pleading with Silvia to heal him and not let Ordan die. The alpha's human side seemed to have retreated...but Achilles recognized that move when they were POW, Ordan had retreated before when injured into his mind where he could erect barriers to try to escape the torture and the screams. In those cases, Achilles had taken the noise, the fear, the pain and humiliation. However, now Ordan tended to hide in his mind when he was sleeping or when he was alone in the alpha room or walking the tower which he tended to do when deep in thought. Nevermind, if they didn't die, Achilles might explain...even if the omega looked rather terrified.

While waiting to see what would happen, the alpha smelled something coming towards them. It smelled like leech...the inner wolf growled slightly at the noise but the pain made it difficult to shift. His eyes seemed to darken slightly as his pupils narrowed to slits before the scent grew closer. It wasn't long before said leech entered his vision, Achilles forcing his body to move as the leech glanced at him and then first spoke to Jaehwa, then to Silvia. The wolf had to rack his brain for where this leech had come from before dredging up a memory... the wolf staggering slightly as Jaehwa lifted him to his feet, nails sinking into the wall behind him as he was lifted up, Jaehawa putting one of the alpha's arms around his shoulders before the leech..the...warrior if he was remembering through the haziness that he had...or rather Ordan...had trained some when rogues...helping Jaehwa get him to his feet. He barely listened to anything the warrior said to the healer or the attempt at comforting the omega as Achilles focused on making his body move, the alpha doing his best to slow down his heart and breathing in fear of risking whatever that black was on his back from spreading further.

Blake
Shaded ​

Blake nodded, taking in all of the information Larkin provided with eager ears. "A birth?" he muttered loosely, not really asking anything. He could imagine the scene vividly, the baby basically ripping itself out of the mother during a time of distress. This was certainly interesting news, as children were often a rarity in such... uncertain times. Not even he and his wife had made that decision yet. Perhaps the pregnancy was unplanned? Who could say..?

"I can't imagine that mutt leaving his pack alone unless the situation was dire," Blake commented, folding his arms as he watched the flames contrast the rain around it. He listened as Larkin continued, and he had to admit that he enjoyed the other vampire's way of talking. It was whimsical, which was nice for a change of pace.

Dismissing Larkin's question, which he found irrelevant, Blake turned away from the fires. He could feel the other vampire's stare on his back. "Our next plan? We pay Custos a visit. Again. That vampire who gave birth is our only current link to Boreal. I'd be a fool to ignore her." He knew bits and pieces from Larkin's past, but not enough to truly empathize. Still, this was a member of his pack; he could at the very least have some sympathy. "You need not worry. We won't hurt the child or the mother. That'd put us on bad terms, wouldn't it? I'd just like to ask some questions."

Jaehwa
Shaded scorpiodragon Eliruz ​

Upon seeing Adesina arrive, Jaehwa almost started crying all over again from relief alone. He also almost dropped Ordan in the process, but was quick to catch his alpha. " Adesina!" he breathed, allowing her to assist him in carrying Ordan. He could tell she was lessening the burden he had by taking on more of the weight, for which he was grateful but also a little ashamed.

Ignoring his own self-wallowing, Jaehwa started to move alongside Adesina, casting one final glace to Silvia. Her workload was so heavy already; he couldn't help but feel bad for her. Still, there was nothing he could do about it now. He was relying on her, his trust and faith placed in her. Hell, the entire pack right now needed her. Strangers needed her. He couldn't begin to imagine what it felt like to be in her shoes right now.

"Thank you for coming so quickly," he said, offering a weak smile. Tears stained his cheeks. His thanks was honest and heartfelt, and he meant it towards both Adesina and Silvia. "Really, I-I freaked out so much..." There weren't the proper words to describe how distraught he'd been. He'd thought the alpha would die and that there wasn't a thing he could've done to prevent it. Now, though, there was a chance. A chance that Ordan would live to see another day. That was all Jaehwa needed to keep going through the tunnels of the dungeon.

Icarus
Location: Dungeons of Custos
​

From within another cell, deep underground of Custos, a prone figure sat chained within his own cell, watching through slitted eyes as the alpha of Custos came into the dungeons, dragging someone through the corridor and being none to gentle about it either. The figure said nothing as he watched the girl thrown into a cell across from him, the alpha not even paying him any attention and he wondered if the alpha had forgotten he was here, if his precious omega and warrior even knew that he was here within the dungeons. All he had done was nick a little food and try to get a little shelter...so maybe it was a crime to break into someone's home...but he was starving. He took pleasure in noticing the alpha of this pack seemed to be injured and as he turned to leave the cell, brown eyes met bluish-gray, the moment passing as the alpha disappeared down into the hallway and the door shut somewhere in the distance, locking them in. Of course...he had been locked in for a while.

He got up from his prone position on the floor of the cell, prowling like a predator towards the door of his own cell that confined him, the male resting his head against the door as he looked out through the grate at the prisoner. She seemed young, possibly his age and remained relatively unconscious. Icarus continued to remain silent, watching her as she lay there unmoving barring the rising and falling of her chest. He doubted the alpha of Custos was cruel enough to hurt the girl sexually but men tended to do desperate things when they thought their lives were threatened or their families. When the girl finally began moving and trying to get free of her chains, her voice permeating the darkened dungeon corridor....just one of them as far as he was aware...and he wasn't aware of much lately or how much time had passed since he'd been put here...he finally spoke. "You can't get out...I've tried already." Oh how he had tried...and he'd suffered for it as well. "So...what did you do to get locked in here miss?"
