Ailish rolled her eyes at him. "I really don't care right now as long as I get to go to sleep eventually," she said with a yawn. She actually did care, getting into bed with him instead of a Werewolf seemed a whole lot better, but she wasn't about to admit it, either out loud or to herself, she didn't want to start anything right now, especially with JD and Terra here. She turned her head slightly to watch JD come out of the bathroom from the corner f an eye, making a face. "Why don't you just tell her the truth?" she asked, tossing her head slightly so her hair fell down her back.

[LoveOnHerArms]

JD snorted back a laugh and looked at Andy "great question, why not tell her the truth Andy?" He asked and Andy gave him a 'drop dead' look, "I can't, tell her what she really is and what happened to her pack, Red thinks that she got lost from her pack when she was ten. What really happened was her pack was murdered, Red was the only one that lived." He let out a breath and looked over at Red then back at Ailish "Shes not just a werewolf, She immortal like us and the keeper of the magic for her pack. whatever killed her pack was after her, and she watched them all die" He shook his head and closed his eyes remembering when he found her "Terra was barley alive when I found her hiding in some bushes, If she finds out what she really is, the magic thats in her will wake up,whatever is after her could find her easily and kill her. Im not going to let that happen"

Ailish pushed away from the wall so she was standing on her own, crossing her arms across her chest, eyes narrowing with her hot temper at JD's sarcastic tone. "You know, JD, I'm probably a log stronger and smarter than someone named Nerd, so maybe you should can your little gob before I end up throwing you through the window," She said sweetly, green eyes so dark now the pupils were hardly noticeable. She tossed her head again so her wet hair fell fully down her back. She was far from being a little kid and hated being treated like one, and her eyes showed it as her gaze flashed to Andy, looking at him from up under her eyelashes. "Well what's after her, and how can it be that bad? I don't think someone would really risk three pissed off Undeads just to get to a single Werewolf that did nothing to them," I scoffed.

[LoveOnHerArms]

Andy held up a hand looking at them, the leader in him stepping up "alright that's enough both of you" He growled out giving JD a warning look and the same with Ailish, the last thing he needed was those two trying to kill each other. Rubbing the back of his neck Andy looked at Ailish "We have no idea whats after her and it killed a whole werewolf pack Ailish" He said then shook his head "Terra's different Ailish, she holds inside of her the magic of generations" getting up he dug through his bag pulled out shorts and walked into the bathroom to get out of the soaked shirt and jeans. JD looked at Ailish " I wasn't trying to start a fight" He said then grabbed his laptop glancing over at Terra then at Ailish

[• Echo]

Ailish
I rolled my eyes at the look he gave me, waving aside his reasons again. "Still, Werewolves have a bad tendency to get cocky, arrogant, when they live together in a pack, think nothing can hurt or stop them," I say. I didn't like that they were lying to her, and I especially didn't like that now they were expecting me to do the same. No promises there. I rolled my eyes again atthe two, ignoring Andy as he walked into the bathroom, going trough my bag for a heavier, tannish-grey colored jacket. "Do you two want anything? I'm finding a Starbucks," I said, peeling off my other jacket and pulling on the other, looking at them as I fished my keys from my pocket.

[LoveOnHerArms]

JD chuckled and looked over at her with a faint grin "oh true that, but Terra's different, it's hard to explain" He said with a shrug and pulled up a couple sites, scanning over the pages he frowned slightly then turned his head hearing the wonderful word 'Starbucks' " oh hell yes a extra coffee caramel frappuccino venti please" Andy walked out of the bathroom in just the basketball shorts and looked at them "Starbucks run?" JD nodded "cool a venti coffee little cream please" He said flashing her a smile the tossing his shirt and jeans into his duffel bag

[• Echo]

Ailish
I nodded at them both, then looked at Terra. "Think she's gonna be up anytime soon?" I ask, not wanting to be rude in case she were to wake up and I never got her anything. I nodded again when they replied, grabbing my keys and walking to the door. Opening it, I look out into the rain, taking a deep breath of the cool night air before jogging out, nudging the door shut behind me. I jogged with a long stride to my car, unlocking it on the way then sliding in. Pulling the door shut behind me, I sat behind the wheel for a moment before I stuck the key in the ignition, twisting until the car snarled back to life. Putting the car into gear, pulling out of the motel parking lot. I cruised through the streets for a few minutes, loving the way the car handled even in the wind and rain, memorizing the streets and buildings before I found a small Starbucks and pulled in. I hurried to the door after climbing out of the car, pushing through into the small, warm room. Shivering slightly at the sudden temperature change, I pulled my jacket a bit tighter as I walked to the counter, waiting in line behind a few others. When it was my turn, I rattled off the drinks they had wanted, glancing at the menu hanging overhead before ordering an Irish Creme' latte' with extra creme. I waited a moment while the drinks were made, shifting my weight from my right to my left, eyes scanning the small coffee house. I smiled at the women behind the counter as I paid, adding a tip to a jar on the counter, and thanked her as I took the drink tray, walking back to the door. I jogged quickly to my car, unlocking it and sliding in. I set the drinks on the passenger seat, pulling mine put and what I guessed was Andy's, setting them in the two cupholders, trying to lessen the chance of them spilling as I pulled out of the parking lot, making my way slowly back to the motel.



Bleh, not good at all.

[LoveOnHerArms]

Andy chuckled glancing over at Tera "nah, she's put cold" He said then watched Ailish walk out into the raining night. Out of habit he locked the door behind her,grabbed the remote from JD and sits down on the other bed, his back against the head bored watching the tv, his legs stretched out in front of him. Looking at the tv he settled for a old football game and watched as JD kept typing away on his laptop "what are you doing anyway Nerd?" JD glanced over at him over his shoulder "finding a place to stay when we get to hick state" Andy chuckled and nodded alright"

sorry its short...

[• Echo]

It's fine, my last one wouldve been the first two sentences if hadn't added all that fill-in stuff xD Lol.


Ailish
I swore quietly when JD's cut tipped threateningly, automatically reaching out a hand to catch it before it fell, scowling. I pressed down a bit more on the gas pedal, hearing the engine pick up and feeling the car shift under me as it increased in speed. A moment later I was slowing to pull in to the motel parking lot, not surprised at all to see it still raining. If I weren't carrying two other coffees, not including mine, then I would have walked, but I didn't really want to hear them complain about watery coffee, so I put the drinks back in the holder and got out, jogging with a quick, long stride to the motel room. I tried the door to find it locked, scowling. Placid my hand flat on the door, I concentrated with my kind until I found the lock, pushing it mentally to unlock it. I swung the door open to see Andy standing there, who had apparently come to open the door when he heard me try to. Pulling his coffee cup out, I smiled slyly, holding it out to him. "Coffee's here," I say sweetly, walking over to JD and handing him his before tossing the cardboard holder into the garbage, taking a sip of my drink and looking at the two beds. "So anyone have any preference with who I'm sleeping with?" I ask jokingly, smiling that same lopsided smile again.

[LoveOnHerArms]

ahhhh I see (:

Watching the game Andy pretty much tuned out of everything else but then hearing someone trying to get in, Andy jumped to his feet a slight scowl on his face, JD looked at the door then at Andy "dude its Ailish with the coffee" Shooting JD a look Andy reached to open the door, but the door swung open and Andy couldn't help but chuckle face to face with her. "yeah I see that thanks" Taking the coffee he stopped himself from giving her a kiss and stepped aside to let her in. JD took the coffee smiling "thanks" taking a drink JD looked at them, Andy took a sip locking the door again then turned to look at Ailish, a cocky ass smirk played on his lips "I do, but its up to you, you can sleep with Terra" [i]she'll keep her hands to herself more then I will' he added silently to himself then took a drink of coffee. JD looked from one to the other "yeah for my safety I'll either crash with Terra or Andy"

[• Echo]

Ailish
I nodded slightly, smirking. "That's probably smart, JD," I say, reaching down to pick up one of my bags. Walking into the bathroom, I shut the door behind me, not bothering to lock it. Setting the bag on the counter, I unzipped it. Countless thoughts swarmed my mind as I looked through the bag for somethin to wear to bed. But what I had ever worn to bed was always some man's shirt; one was even one of Andy's old shirts. Swallowing, I decided I probably wouldn't want to wear that one, or any other one, for that matter, and settled for a small pair of blue shorts and a close fitting, light grey tanktop. Setting then on the counter, I quickly stripped down, pulling on new underwear and slipping into the new clothes, stuffing my dirty clothes into a corner of the bag. I rinsed my mouth out with water, checking my teeth in the mirror as I cleaned my face with warm water. The Undead didn't need to brush their teeth often since they didn't eat, but we did every once in a while for looks. Rezipping my bag, I come back out into the room, dropping my bag next to the other and looking at the beds. "Well, getting into bed with a Werewolf who's been pretty mad lately, especially with me, doesn't really sound like the healthiest option for me, so I guess that really just leaves one option," I say with a shrug, finishing my coffee and dropping it in the trash bin. I forced my heart to keep beating normally, knowing I was probably making up excuses, though it made sense, and it was true.

[LoveOnHerArms]

JD nodded drinking his coffee and looking back at the screen "yeah" He mumbled, Andy chuckled and watched Ailish walk into the bathroom then sat back on the other bed looking back at the tv,legs stretched out in front of me leaning against the pillows and head bored. trying his hardest to keep his mind on the game and not wander to if Ailish would sleep with him or not, his body ached to hold her to him but ha he didn't see that coming. Ailish walked back out and Andy gave a low wolf whistle with a playful look in his eyes, JD glanced over rolled his eyes at Andy and looked back at the screen being smart. hearing Ailish Andy grinned wickedly and chuckled "shes more mad at me then you but..." He patted the bed comically, then pulled the sheets back and laid back down. JD kept his mouth shut,finish his coffee turned off his laptop and slid into bed with Terra, He gently scooted her over then laid down muttering under his breath

[• Echo]

Ailish rolled her eyes at Andy's whistle, seeing JD look away and begin ignoring her, grateful for that. She already felt highly out of place, she didn't need both boys staring at her to make it worst, she already couldn't imagine what Terra's reaction would be when she woke up to find Ailish here. A bitter taste crept into her mouth as she stood on her knees next to her bags. She pulled out a three-ring binder and notebook, taking it with her as she went over to the bed Andy was in, ignoring him as muhnas possible as she slid into bed. She did t really care if anyone turned the lights off; she could see fine without a light source. She didn't even care if either of them saw what she was reading now; did it really matter, anyway? The binder was full of documents and pictures, with a divider in the middle that set it apart from old, yellow pages that she didn't turn to. After the older section was another divider, with files filling up that, the last, section. The notebook was filled with her own elegant, cursive writing, a detailed description of everything after the day her small clan has been brutally murdered. Or, part of it, at least. There were other notebooks like this. She actually wouldn't mind if Stiles got his hands on these; she didn't know if it would scare him and make him paranoid or if he would be indifferent about it, but, either way, it would be a sign to him that she wasn't giving up and that she was right behind him no matter what he did.

[LoveOnHerArms]

JD leaned over turned off the light next to the bed and drifted to sleep, Andy watched Terra and JD sleep for a little while then shook out of it and looked over at Ailish, who was trying really had to ignore him and stay as fare away as possible , on the bed. A tiny stab of hurt hit him about it but with a roll if his eyes he forgot it, Looking over the binder curiously he tilted his head to the side a little scanning over the pages full of her elegant handwriting, He read bits and pieces of it but it didn't really make any scenes, With a faint frown he leaned closer to her "what's this about Ailish?" He asked in a low husky tone still scanning over the pages

[• Echo]

Alice felt the slight shift in the bed as he leaned closer, could somehow feel him reading over her shoulder. When he leaned closer and his husky voice filled her senses, his breath tickling her exposed throat, she felt her breath catch and a tremor run up her spine. She felt her heart stutter for a moment then pick back up, and she turned her head slightly to find his face so close to her's. Before she let herself get distracted she turned away, feeling heat flush her cheeks and hoping he couldn't see through her hair which fell past her face. "A documentary, sort of.". She said, focusing her eyes on the page, though she couldn't read the words, as her mind was now elsewhere. "On a man I've been hunting.". The words sounded so normal to her own ears but felt so strange coming out of her mouth, and she shook her head slightly. "Nothing big," she lied.

[LoveOnHerArms]

She turned her head to look at him, and it took all Andy had not to kiss those lips of hers, all to quickly she turned away, silently cursing to himself Andy studied the side of her face he could see, a blush came onto her cheeks behind her hair, a very faint smirk came on his lips then but that quickly left hearing her, black hair falling onto his forehead and eyes he looked at her "a man? Ailish why the hell are you hunting a man?" He demand in a gentle but firm tone. "and don't you lie to me Ailish, Im not that stupid, I know you better then that" He said sitting up more to look at her face better, she was now avoiding his gaze "hey look at me" He said softer, cupping her chin with his hand he gently made her look at him "whats going on Ailish?"

[• Echo]

Alice shook her head slightly, not looking at him. "It's really nothing, Andy, at least not right now," she said, placing a finger on one of the lines, redrawing it for the seventh time. Her heartbeat instantly picked up as soon as she felt his hands touching her softly, tugging her face gently until she was looking at him. She covered it swiftly by making a face at him, scowling. "Andy, it's just a man from my past. It's really nothing," she insisted, shaking her head again slightly but not pulling out of his grip, secretly loving the warmth he brought to her skin.

[LoveOnHerArms]

He felt her heart speed from the pulse in her neck against his hand, Now looking down at her face he just rolled his eyes at the look she was giving him "oh please Ailish thats not going to scare me off" He said gruffly and gently rub the pad of his thumb over her cheek "and your still lying to me Ailish, Its something you just wont tell me" looking into her eyes he smiled faintly "you can trust me Ailish"

[• Echo]

Alice
I felt my body tremble slightly when he rubbed his thumb against my cheek, wanting so badly to just close my eyes and lean into his touch. I was about to answer when he spoke again, and instantly my eyes went cold and hard. "Can I?" I snapped, a bit harsher than I meant to, shaking my head slightly and this time pulling out of his touch, hurt and pain searing like a white hot blade through my body, fire raising through my cheek and neck where he had last touched me. "Just forget about it," I said dryly.

[LoveOnHerArms]

Andy looked down at her wishing he could take the words back seeing the look in her eyes, "yeah you can" He said softly almost to himself, he barley heard the harsh of the words her just saying that killed something in him it didn't matter what tone it was, Her pulling away was like packing in the salt and iodine in the deep wounds that hes he tried to keep covered. Sliding out of the bed He looked over at her "yeah right" he mumbled then went to his bag for his shoes and a hoodie " Im going for a jog, I'll be back later" pulling on the hoodie and shoes he walked to the door he glanced back at her yearning to just go back then and hold her, and explain why he left but he doubted she would let him hold her and listen. so he opened the door and walked out into the rain

[• Echo]

Alice scowled to herself at his words. "Yeah, right," she said quietly to herself as he slid out of the bed, her voice just a breath of air, and she seriously doubted that he were actually able to hear them. She jerked her head up to roll her eyes at him, not saying anything. If she actually were lucky the way everyone stereotyped the Irish to be, maybe he'd get blown away, or a tree would fall on him. She actually smiled wryly at the comical image that popped into her head of Andy blowing over above the city. Shaking her head, she returned her gaze back to the page in front of her, but wasn't able to focus anymore. Silently cussing out Andy in her mind, she shut the notebook, feeling like flinging it across the room but knowing it wouldn't get her anything but a sleepy, pissed-that-she-had-waken-them-up Werewf and Vampire. Not wanting to be awake when he got back, she stood and put the notebook and binder away. But before climbing into bed, she grabbed her iPod and multicolored, black headphones that had blue and red intertwining and splashed across them. Plugging them in, she made a new playlist of loud songs, getting back into the bed and pulling the sheets up to her chin. Putting her headphones in, she turned the volume up and pressed play so the music was too loud for her to think. Sliding her right arm up over her head under the pillow, she turned her face into her bicep, turning so she was on her right side, left arm over her side and left leg crossed over her right. Forcing her eyes to shut, she breathed deeply, focusing on untangling the words to the playlist made up of soft rock and a genre by an Irish band that pulled from country and soft rock music.

[LoveOnHerArms]

He didn't even bother with putting the hood over his head as he started jogging through the rain onto a jogging trail he passed on the way here. Usually jogging cleared Andy's mind not tonight, no tonight his mind was racing with everything that just happened and of the past. Letting out a breath, he stopped, tilted his head up tot he sky and closed his eyes as the rain soaked him as the night of leaving Ailish came at him in full force
The sun was barley peeking over the hills when Andy woke up and looked down at the beautiful girl in his arms sound asleep,her hair sprawled out across the pillow and on her face. With a soft smile he gently brushed the hair out of her face and watched her sleep for a little while, dreading what he was about to do, but he had to. There was another vampire after them, Andy couldn't think straight when he was around Ailish, thats how they would end up killed. Letting out a breath he kissed her forehead and mumbled a soft 'I love you' then carefully not to wake her he slipped out of her arms and stood up. Silently he packed up a bag as his heart broke, Looking over at her he smiled sadly caressing her soft cheek one last time then left. yes something in him died when he walked out the door and left but if he wanted to keep Ailish alive this is what he had to do.
Andy let his head hang as that painful memory drifted back to the back of his mind when he tried to keep it, His hoodie was soaked clinging to his skin. "I killed that bastard tho" He mumbled with a bitter smile on his face, yes he finely found the vampire and slathered him like the animal he was. "keep going Andy, you've got people back in the hotel that need you" With that he started jogging on the trail again in the dark rainy night. Getting back to the hotel He silently opened the door and slipped in around four in the morning. Looking at JD and Terra asleep he smiled like a proud dad then looked over at Ailish sound asleep listening to her ipod, hair and hoodie plastered it his body Andy kicked off his shoes and peeled the hoodie off, it hit the floor with a plop, kneeling down he pulled out dry shorts and since everyone was asleep he just changed then there then carefully not to wake Alilsh slipped back into the bed and rolled onto his side. Letting out a breath he closed his eyes and fell asleep

[• Echo]

Ailish
At first the music was able to drown out any dreams that Alice may have, but when the playlist began to wear off, the recurring memories and dreams came at her full force. Her body writhed beneath the covers and she kicked the sheets back so they were tangled around her waist and legs. Her eyes shut tight, she turned she she was on her stomach, head turned the sides, arms lifted over her head as if to shield her from some unseen force. Her breathing fast and quick, eyes fluttering as if she were trying to open them, but was trapped in her own nightmares. The feeling of being stalked, hunted, so many years ago after the deaths of her clan, being trapped in the building, flames covering everything and sucking out all the oxygen. She had been certain she was going to die. She did, collapsing after she finally got out when a window burned out, yet she had revived. She knew Stiles had thought she was dead. That was the biggest mistake he ever made. Her eyes suddenly flew wide open, and she jerked her body into a sitting position. She gasped for air, eyes flying around the room. For a moment she thought she was still in the warehouse, but then she realized where she was, could hear Andy's light breathing as he lay in the bed beside her. The air felt hot and stuffy, and she had the feeling of being slowly strangled to death. Suddenly it was all too much; the memory, memories, to be exact, her hunt, them running, and sleeping beside Andy as if nothing were the matter. Her throat constricting, she stumbled quietly out of bed, nearly ripping the sheets off. Pausing, she disentangled herself and half ran to the bathroom, disoriented and tripping over her own feet. Throwing open the window, she sucked in long breaths of crisp, early morning air. The cool wind caressed her face gently, and she felt her stomach flip-flopping. Falling to her knees, she barely had time to lift the lid on thetoilet and pull her hair back before her stomach emptied itself of the few contents she had eaten. Groaning quietly, she pulled herself up and flushed, stumbling to the sink and rinsing out her mouth. Lifting her head, feeling dizzy and weak, she stared at her reflection, her eyes looking wide and young as she stared back at herself. Shaking her head, she looked away and straightened, sliding the bathroom window shut again.

[LoveOnHerArms]

Andy fell asleep and luckily didn't have any dreams, Waking up to her stomach growling Terra groaned softly and lifted her head up a little in time to see Ailish fling back the covers,trip on her own feet and dash into the bathroom. Sitting up Terra looked over at the boys who were still dead to the world, Her mind racing Terra slid out of bed and silently walked over to the bathroom door, what the heck was Ailish doing here? thinking back Andy did say if Ailish met up with them things wouldn't change, so thats what he meant. Shaking her head as her stomach growled again, hearing her trow up and groan, the smell of stomach acid hit Terra's nose making her crinkle her nose "oh man" she mumbled then knocked lightly on the door "hey Ailish you alright?" she asked softly, no Terra wasn't mad at Ailish for being here or anything just confused. frizzy red hair was in her face as she waited for Ailish to open the door.

[• Echo]

Alice
My eyes flew upward when I heard a light tapping on the door, followed by Terra's voice, and she mentally swore at herself. Clearing her throat silently so my voice wouldn't be a croak, I turned towards the door. "I'm fine," she said quietly, unlocking the door and opening it. The words didn't sound true even to herself. "Now," she added as she slid the door open, not wanting to lie. She leaned against the doorframe, giving a weak smile that barely lit her eyes to Terra.
