Glancing back at the diner once, feeling a little disappointed When Andy didn't follow her, but she couldn't blame him what with the way she was acting, plus he seemed to be at the head of their little family. Pushing her hands into her pockets so they would warm up, she started walking down the street, feeling light-headed. Opening her senses, she followed them to a dim bar, putting her sunglasses on the top of her head as she walked in. Looking around, she inhaled a couple times, ignoring whistles from a few drunks at the bar. Never having liked the taste of drunks, Alice walked over to a line of a few pool tables, setting her sights on one that had a couplee highschool seniors who were obviously friends playing each other. In no time she had seduced the tall, athletic blonde into following her out the backdoor into an alleyway. Pressing him against the wall, she felt her heart beat accelerate and her blood start to rush as she brought her mouth to his neck, his chest, his jaw, slipping her tongue gently across the large, throbbing vein on his throat, feeling a tremor of excitement sweep through her.

"Damn, girl, you are fine!" she heard him, Johnny, say. She didn't reply, bringing her body close to his, eyes searching his tanned neck. Instinct brought her to the jugular, but she didn't dare bite down on it, knowing it would kill him and always having been against killing innocent mortals. So instead she went to the other, smaller vein, continuing to kiss him as her fangs grew and elongated, curving and sharpening. Opening her mouth to kiss him again, this time she slowly let her teeth pierce his skin, blood rushing from the two holes she had made and into her mouth. Of course there wasthe initial surprise, but Johnny was young, clueless, thought it was just a gentle nip, like all highschoolers did, since the pain went away almost immediately as long as you didn't fight it. Running her hands up over his chest when he tilted his head slightly, she let her eyes close, barely supressing the tremor of pleasure as new energy flooded into her. Johnny started to realize something was wrong and tried to push her away, but it was too late, and he was too startled and weak to protestas he slumped against the wall. She felt him pass out, tried to bring herself away from his body but couldn't summon the will or the strength to fight her need. When she was finally able to force herself, trembling, away from his crumpled body, she realized immediately what she had done, that it was too late to do anything. His skin was already pale white, his eyes wide, mouth opened slightly as if to cry out, his heartbeat still. Alice sagged against the wall beside him, sliding down to sit, hugging her knees to her chest as she stared at the brick wall opposite her on the other side of the alley.

"Johnny, you down here?". Her head jerked up as she recognized the sound of the boy's friend, and she scrambled to her feet, crouching before she jumped up into the air, catching the roof on the side of the building, pulling herself up and hiding in the shadows a mere moment before the friend appeared. Feeling sick with guilt, she moved away from the body and the other boy, where he was now crying for help and she could head footsteps pounding down towards them. What had she done? She has just killed an innocent boy, maybe by accident, but she still had, and there was nothing to say to his family, his friends, everyone who knew him... Shaking her head, she took off across the roof, dropping down on the other side, jogging back through side alleys to get back to the motel, hoping she would get there before the others did.

JD was still messing with the radio, when Terra slugged him when it was a song that she like 'So What' by Pink, With a roll of his eyes JD left it alone, Grinning Terra turned it up and sang along as she drove back to the hotel. JD caved and started singing along in a mock female voice, They were both laughing now making Andy crack a small smile and shake his head that them, but his mind was else where, Should he tell Terra what she really was? He didn't want to, even if Terra was almost a hundred and thirty he sill saw her as the little girl huddled in the bushes with big terrified eyes and a past that hunted her. Letting out a breath he ran a hand through his hair. The song ended and JD looked back at Andy and mouthed 'you ok man?' Andy nodded and mouthed 'later' JD rolled his eyes but dropped it for now. Still singing with the radio Terra pulled into the parking lot of the hotel and parked the explore in front of the door to there room.

Shoved red hair out of her face Terra turned the explore off and jumped out, only to make a face "aw nasty" Her hand went over her nose, The boys both jumped out and looked around "What? What is it Red?" Andy asked tensing up, She looked at them from behind her hand "Somethings roting over in the trees over there" she said pointing to a cluster of trees with her free hand. The boys looked at each other then took off to the trees with Terra at there heels. Andy got there first and hand to cover his nose from the smell that was making him gag, "Red wheres the smell coming from?" Terra looked around then at them looking a little green, The smell was stronger for her cause well yeah she was part wolf. Swallowing hard Terra looked around and slowly walked to a bush trying her hardest not to puke from the smell, peering into the bushes Terra gave a little shrike seeing a wolf's glazed over lifeless eyes looking back at her. JD and Andy where at her side in a second "what?" JD asked then looked down at the wolf "oh man, thats nasty" Andy slipped his arm around Terra and tried to turn her away as he looked around "we need to leave..now" JD nodded "yeah come on Red" She nodded her eyes a little wider and with a boy on either side she walked back across the parking lot to the door of there hotel room.

Looking around Andy's jaw was locked, JD took the keys from Terra shaking hands and unlocked the door and swung it open, He walked in "all clear" then started trowing his stuff into his duffel bag. Andy steered Terra in rubbing her right shoulder "it's ok I don't think it was a werewolf" He said softly into her ear and set her on the bed "we'll pack" Terra nodded still seeing the wolf's eyes in her mind. Andy closed the door and quickly started packing there stuff glancing at the door for Ailish every now and then muttering under his breath.

dang girl! that was great! and sorry mines not as good XD

Really? I was thinking it was a bit on the short side and didn't have enough detail, but I had a killer track work out today and had to teach all the first year distance runners how to do it yet they still tried to ignore me, so I think that (along with the fact that we were painting for two and a half hours straight afterwards xD) killed off a few more of what's left of my brain cells Lol.

Still shaking, Alice slowed back to a walk a couple of blocksfrom the motel, feeling disgusted with herself. This was the worst part in her mind of being one of the Undead; even after centuries and centuries of this, there were still times when she couldn't control herself. Now all she felt like doing was what she always did everytime she slipped up, and that was working out and running until she couldn't anymore, doing as much as possible to use up the blood she had just taken until she was satisfied she was in complete control and could trust herself to feed again. Pausing, she rocked back on her heels, pulling her sunglasses down onto her nose as she tilted her head up to look atthe sky, everything tinted behind the shades. Letting out her breath slowly, she ran a hand through her hair, watching a car as it drove past, listening to the lazy hum of a bumblebee as it flew past, the sweet, melodic sound of a mockingbird mimicking some kind of sparrow song. Mockingbirds were her favorite birds, there was just something about them, of all the different species and colors and sizes. Sighing deeply, Alice started walking again, scuffing her shoe gently on the sidewalk, purposefully walking slowly, seeming to be frozen in place while the rest of the world kept on turning. At the corner before the motel, she paused suddenly, her body seeming to bristle. Something was wrong, there was just something in the air... No birds were singing, no animals seemed to be left in the area at all, actually, and there was just this feeling...

Breaking into a jog, Alice let herself follow her instincts, slowing to a more cautious walk before a bush, body tensed and ready to spring. Wrinkling her nose as a putrid smell filled her nose, she pushed the leaves out of the way, jaw dropping momentarily as she stared at the body of the dead wolf, every other thought pushed from her mind.

"Holy crap..." she muttered, staggering back as the full stench hit her, hand instantly flying up to her nose as she held back a gag. Coughing, she jogged towards the motel room. Seeing the door was open, her eyes narrowed and she was forced to slow again, body quivering now from her being so tense and her nerves all being hot-wired and on end. But then she relaxed slightly, feeling the boys and Terra in the room, alone, and she went into the room to find them all throwing their stuff into bags as though they were all possessed or something.

"What the hell is going on?" she demanded, pulling the door shut behind her, nose still crinkled slightly in disgust, her eyes searching across the room for anything out of place. Which was useless now, of course, what with them all practically throwing things across the room as they packed. She had a bad feeling brooding deep within her chest, and somehow knew it had something to do with Terra and the secret she didn't know. Or had someone actually told her by now? If not, she would have to do something about that.

Terra scooted more into the middle of the bed and hugged her knees to her chest, Letting out a breath she laid her head on her knees looking at the sheets with blank eyes, all she could see what the lifeless eyes of that wolf looking back at her, In the back of her mind Terra could hear the whimpers of fear from the wolf and a laugh then the sicking sound of a gun shot. A soft whimper came from her lips.

Hearing Terra whimper Andy looked over at her "Red! snap out of it sweetie it wasn't a werewolf it was just a wolf" He said and tossed something to JD then moved over to Terra looked into her face "Terra listen to me, it wasn't your fault, I need you right now Little Red" He said and shook her shoulders gently "come on sweetie snap out of it" JD looked over at them as he tossed stuff onto the other bed from the bathroom "why do we unpack for freakin much?" He asked no one, Andy cursed under his breath and looked over at JD standing up "like i know just hurry up!" he hissed out.

JD shot him a look then stopped at Ailish's stuff "If I pack her stuff will she kill me?" he asked Andy , With a dry chuckle he nodded "most likely yes" He said then looked to the door to see Ailish walk in and look at them and asked what the hell was wrong "You saw the wolf by the look on your face, other then that nothings wrong" He snapped back,glanced at Terra who was still hugging her knees with a blank look on her face. Then started trowing stuff into duffel bags again, "We've gotta get moving Ailish, He's playing games with Terra thinking she knows" HE said in a low tone as he kept a eye on Terra. JD grabbed a couple duffel bags over his shoulder and walked to the explore and put them in the back.

"Yo guys get your ass's movin" JD said walking back in and looked at Andy and Ailish, Grabbing his laptop he puts it in his backpack carefully and zips it up, Getting Terra's little things and putting them in her messenger bag he glanced at the clock then at Andy "dude move your freakin ass before I kick it!" He hissed out and Andy snarled at him "shut it JD" he scanned the room "alright were good lets go" He walked over to Terra and sighed scooping her into his arms "she's like stoned or something" He said a little worried about her and walked to the explore.

by • Echo Sat Feb 26, 2011 11:35 am

Alice rolled her eyes and scowled at Andy, eyes full of malice as she crossed her arms. "Oh yeah, right, that's all that's wrong, which is why you all look like you're possessed. Yes, that's exactly it!" she snapped. She was only here for him, that could quickly change if he didn't answer her fully. Her eyes narrowed slightly at his slightly longer, low answer, and she felt her temper begin to boil again.

"You still haven't told her?" she hissed back, holding in her emotions like she had done so many times before. "So what if she knows! Could it honestly be that much worse than her being like this?" she snarled, pointing momentarily at Terra. "Honestly Andy, you can't protect everyone no matter how hard you try, and I'm pretty damn sure she can take care of herself!". She knew it wasn't her place to talk since she barely knew Terra, but that didn't stop the words from coming out of her mouth as she moved around him. Zipping her bag shut, she pulled the shoulder strap on, picking up the other bag next. Glancing at Terra as Andy picked her up, she rolled her eyes at his comment, saying nothing. If she were stoned, she'd actually be giggling at all this, but Alice wasn't about to point that out to Andy, at least not right now. She ignored JD yelling at them to hurry up; it wasn't like she was riding with them or anything. Striding out the door, she pulled her keys out of her pocket, fumbling with them for a moment, she unlocked the car, pressing the bottom button twice to pop open the trunk. Lifting it up, she tossed her bags in, grabbing a water bottle from the crate that she kept there. Shutting the trunk, she climbed into the driver's side, pulling the door shut as she stuck the key in the ignition and twisted. The car came to life with a snarl that matched her mood and she adjusted the temperature knobs from hot to a bit on the cooler side. Putting the car into Reverse, she pulled out of her parking spot and shifted into Drive, keeping her foot on the brake as she waited for the boys to pull out first. Well, she thought to herself, at least now I have something to keep my mind busy. Even to herself and in her mind, she sounded pissed. If Terra would get powers or something once they told her, then wouldn't that make up for being hunted? She could take care of herself, and being aware and hunted was better than being totally useless in shock and being hunted.

by LoveOnHerArms Sat Feb 26, 2011 12:33 pm

Andy looked over at Ailish trying to keep his temper on check "yes things could get much worse" He said in a low tone, her next comment was like a slap in the face Andy sneered over at her "I don't give a damn if she can take care of herself" He sneered out and scooped her into his arms and walked out of the door to the explore gritting his teeth, dammit somewhere in Andy's mind he knew Ailish was right that they needed to tell Terra what was going on but he just couldn't. JD pulled open the back door then jumped into the drivers side, There was no way in hell he was going to let Andy drive this pissed off. Staring the explore JD glanced back seeing Ailish in her car,Andy in the other seat and Terra sitting in the back now curled up. He pulled out and started to the interstate picking up speed "ya know? we really should tell her Andy, she not a little kid anymore,she has a right to know about her life" JD pointed out and changed lanes smoothly now on the interstate. Letting out a breath and running a hand through his hair Andy looked back at Terra then at JD "go to hell" He growled out JD chuckled "can't they don't like me down there same as you" He glanced over at him "come on Andy we've got to tell her soon" "alright alright we'll tell her soon" Andy mumbled and leaned back in his seat, closing his eyes his mind raced on what was happening.

JD played with the radio to find some good music as it got darker and glanced back at Terra who was snapping out of it "hey she lives" He joked as she sat up looking around confused "wh-what? how did we get on the road?" Andy and JD looked at each other then Andy looked back at Terra "after the wolf you kinda froze up Red, so we packed up and left, Ailish is fallowing in her car" Terra looked at him as it all sank in " I froze? I don't remember anything besides finding the wolf" Andy nodded and JD piped in "you hungry Red?" "uh huh I am" With a light chuckle JD changed lanes to the off ramp to a truck stop and stopped at the 24/7 dinner "mmm greasy food and smelly guys" Terra laughed making Andy relax a little more and jumped out.

Alice followed about a mile or two behind the boys and Terra, both hands gripping the wheel so tightly my knuckles were white. Staring with hard eyes through the windshield, I lean back against the seat, focusing on relaxing my body one part at a time, finishing with cooling my thoughts and my mind. My thoughts and memories were an uncontrollable turmoil, and I slowly began to sift and organize every one. I lingered on the memory of Johnny, which already seemed to be turning into one of those never-forgiven-nor-forgotten memories that would come back to haunt me at random times of my life. Shaking my head slightly, I forced my mind to Terra, the wolf, Andy, and JD. Immediately my thoughts took off on a new course when his name whispered through my mind, turning on something I had refused to think about for years and years. His image came to mind of him smiling, with his dark hair, laughing eyes, the crooked line of his mouth, the distinct line of his neck, strong, sloping shoulders, deep, toned chest... I felt my heartbeat begin to pick up, and then the image changed to one of him scowling at me, arms folded across his chest, eyebrows narrowed, eyes dark and forbidding, accusing. I returned the imaginary scowl with one of my own, temper beginning to rise again. Yes, because what I did was so much worse than the things he did! He was keeping a massive secret of Terra's life hidden from her, letting her drown and suffer in her thoughts and unreachable memories when he could easily help her figure out who she truly was. I didn't even allow myself to think anything related to the ways he had hurt me, not wanting to reopen those wounds and drown in my memories like I had done before so many nights already. My grip slowly tightened into that of a dead man on the steering wheel, and, when I saw them take the exit, I drove on past, glancing at the off ramp as it flashed by. Shaking my head, I took the ramp a few exits past off, circling back to take the cynic(sp?) route back to the town they had gotten off at, just driving aimlessly around the town.

by LoveOnHerArms Thu Mar 03, 2011 12:25 am

Andy glanced around the parking lot have hoping to see Ailish drive up, but she didn't. Terra looked at them hands on hips "are you two ok?" JD nodded walking over to her "yeah were fine, Red come on" He draped his arm over her shoulder and steered her to the door,sending Andy a glance glare. Andy rolled his eyes and sighed mouthing 'alright We'll tell her tonight' JD gave a small nod then opened the door. The smell of grease,sweat,and way to many people hit there noses, making Terra crinkle hers "its called a shower and air fresheners" she mumbled. JD laughed and squeezed her shoulder "shhh don't tick off the natives Trouble magnet" Andy shook his head smiling, glad that Terra was acting like herself and this morning findings already almost forgotten. Laughing Terra walked to a table and sits down "oh yeah they look like the worse they can do it fart on me" pushing back red hair she looked at the boys smirking. Both boys chuckled and sit down as the waiter walked up "What can I get you guys?" he asked looking mostly at Terra. "umm a cherry coke please" she said with a smile then looked out the window, Andy rolled his eyes at the guy "coffee for me" "same here" He nodded and left after setting menus on the table. Scanning hers Terra looked at the boys "are you eating?" Andy nodded and JD just shrugged. After a little bit the waiter came back and they ordered then just looked around staying quiet. Andy's mind wandered off to dangerous thinking to Ailish, was she ok or what? sighing softly he finely went for it and closed his eyes and tapped into her mind yo you ok?

Alice
After a while I realized my gas was running low and pulled into the nearest gas station, the fluorescent lights standing out against the darkness, since it was on the edge of town. Turning the engine off, I unbuckled and slid out, leaving the door open behind me. The night air was starting to get chilly, and the stars were harder to pick from the bright lights of the gas station and of the town behind me. Glancing at the sign, I scowl slightly, seeing it was inside paying. Shutting my door as I walked past it again, I made my way to the building beside the gas station. Glancing up at the sky, I felt a wave of homesickness sweep over me and found myself wishing for the open landscapes of Ireland, of the velvet night sky with the diamond-like stars. Brushing the feeling off, I walk inside, where even brighter lights greeted me. Looking around, I walk around a bit, grabbing a few candy ads and bags of chips and other snacks, along with a Vanilla Come from one of the fridges, before I walked up to the counter, where a teenaged girl was standing, wholooked up when I came over. I paid quickly, watching the girl as she paid. She had a nose ring and eyebrow piercing, with earrings up both sides of her ears, dyed black hair, and dark clothing, and she didn't talk much, but when she did, the ends of her sentences tended to go up as if she were asking a question, instead of going down.

"Have a nice day," she said, and I thanked her as I walked out back towards the gas pumps. Tossing the bag in the passenger seat, I unscrew the cap and set the nozzle in, pushing the regular gas button, waiting as the numbers ticked by. As it stopped, a familiar, strange feeling clouded my mind before Andy's voice spoke. I arched my eyebrows slightly. Is there a reason for me not to be? I countered, a bit surprised he was asking as I put the nozzle away, shutting the little door before climbing back into the car, buckling on my seatbelt, I start the car. Where are you guys? I add.

by LoveOnHerArms Thu Mar 03, 2011 9:00 pm

Letting out breath Andy closed his eyes as JD and Terra teased each other were at this truck stop place cause Red needed food and Im just checking Ailish he added with a faint smirk. Opening his eyes he watched them jack around and tease each other "be nice you too" Terra rolled her eyes "yes daddy" JD laughed and to a drink of his pop "man,tonight were eating Andy" He nodded with his smirk "hell yes" Terra just rolled her eyes "hey where did Ailish go?" Andy looked at her "shes around why? thought you didn't like her" Terra blushed "no I don't hate her, I was mad at you Andy not her" JD chuckled and just drinks his pop staying out of it. "Alright alright, well Im sorry and is it ok i she hangs with us?" Terra nodded "yeah sure, I like having another girl around" It was Andy's turn to roll his eyes just as there food came.

Alice
I rolled my eyes slightly, hearing the amusement in his voice. 'Yeah, whatever,' I say back in the same tone. Putting the car into gear, I pull out of the gas station, eyes scanning the town. It was always boring when there was nothing to do at times like this. 'Are we staying here or something?' I asked, finally pulling into an empty lot and cutting the engine, leaning back against my seat. Unbuckling, I climbed out, shutting the door behind me as I walked a few paces away. The lot was at the edge of a park and small forest, and few cars were on the road, so all I could hear was the sound of crickets, an owl hooting in the distance, and other nocturnal animals. The cool night air caressed my face gently, and I inhaled deeply, thumbs hooked on my belt loops, head tilted back slightly as I gazed up at the sparkling stars.

by LoveOnHerArms Sat Mar 05, 2011 3:13 pm

Andy chuckled in his head at Ailish watching as Terra dives into her food "jeez Red" JD mumbled munching on frys, for the night yeah we are, we might stay for a couple days if you all want too Andy said back to Ailish as he picked at his food, Eating Terra looked at them "are you talking to Ailish? tell her I said hi" Andy looked at her "how do you know Im talking to her?" JD chuckled but stayed quiet "cause you get a look on your face and I know you can talk to other with your mind Andy, Im not five anymore" Andy chuckled amused and also proud that she noticed then again annoyed with himself that he had a look. "atta girl I'll tell her hi for you" Terra says hi like a little girl and where are you? He asked popping a fry into his mouth watching the other two eat.

sorry if my stuff comes out like crap, I've got a killer headache but I can't sleep... :/

by • Echo Sat Mar 05, 2011 3:41 pm

Eh, it's fine, and I'm sorry, I know how that is :/

Ailish
Pushing my hands into my jacket pockets, I start walking towards the park. 'I don't mind,' I say, kicking at a clump of dirt before continuing. The night sky was black as ink, with glittering specks of stars that looked like diamonds had been cast randomly across dark velvet, and I tilted my head as I paused again to examine the sky once more, picking out numerous constellations. I held back a laugh when Andy spoke again. 'Would it be childish for me, too, if I said 'Hi' back?' I ask, looking around. I could hear a group of teenagers a bit away but didn't really mind them.

by LoveOnHerArms Sat Mar 05, 2011 4:01 pm

thanks XD yeah no fun..

Andy laughed and rolled his eyes at Ailish just a little but I'll tell her, and Ailish where are you? he asked again then looked at Red "Ailish said hi back" Terra smiled big "cool, where is she?" Andy shrugged "somewhere here just not sure where" Terra nodded eating quickly JD looked at her "wheres the fire?" she looked at him "full moon..hello?" "oooooohhhhh right" JD said "so your going wolf and were going to eat?" she nodded and Andy chuckled lightly finishing his food and stood up "alright ready?" Terra jumped up grinning "yup" "I'll pay" JD strolled over to the counter to pay as Andy and Terra walked out to the car, Terra jumped in tapping her foot on the floor wanting to leave. JD jumped in and started the explore and pulled out "so where too?" "the woods dork" Terra said still tapping the floor with her foot Andy laughed as JD drove.

Alice
I rolled my eyes again, rocking back on my heels. 'I was getting to that,' I insist, looking around at the darkened park, where a few Victorian style streetlamps from the road and by the benches cast yellow glows. 'Just at the park on the far side of town by the woods,' I say, shrugging as if he were actually here physically. Taking one last, deep breath of the night air, I turn to make my way back to my car. 'Do you want me to go to you guys or are you coming out here?' I ask, seeing that the moon was full and remembering Terra was a Werewolf who, undoubtedly, would probably want to be in the woods when she changed.

by LoveOnHerArms Sat Mar 05, 2011 7:14 pm

Looking out the window Andy chuckled were coming to you, Terra's gotta change tonight and JD and I are going to look for a snack He added with a smirk JD finely pulled into the little parking lot with Ailish car being the only one and parked, before he turned the explore off Terra jumped out pulling her shoes off "I'll fine you just as soon as I shift!" she called out running into the woods, quickly she yanks her clothes off left them in a pile and shifted into a wolf. With a small howl of delight Terra walked back out to where the guys were her tongue hanging out lazily. Andy chuckled watching her walk back "feel better?" he asked and she nodded JD grinned walking over and ruffed her ear "aww aren't you a cutie" Terra growled playfully wagging her tail looking at them.

by • Echo Sat Mar 05, 2011 7:28 pm

Alice
I nodded slightly. 'Okay then,' I say, slowly walking back to my car as I walked through the darkened park. Once I got back, I saw the explorer, Andy, JD, and a 'Wolf who I guessed to be Terra, making my way over to them. Just as I came within hearing range I heard JD's comment to Terra, arching my eyebrows. "I wouldn't exactly say 'cute' would be the appropriate word, but it's close enough in your limited vocabulary, JD," I say, tossing my head slightly so my hair fell neatly behind my shoulders as I looked at the trio.

by LoveOnHerArms Sat Mar 05, 2011 7:41 pm

Andy laughs and shoved JD "man she got you" JD blushed lightly and rolled his eyes with a smirk "gee thanks Ailish" Terra just wagged her tail her eyes laughing, Andy chuckled and looked at Terra "Alright Red,stay out of trouble and don't make me come find you like last time" the wolf rolled her eye and wagged her tail then took off into the woods yipping softly in excitement. Watching her go Andy smiled then looked at Ailish "hey have fun?" JD looked at them then got his laptop out and sat on the hood of the explore.

by • Echo Sun Mar 06, 2011 1:03 pm

Alice
I rolled my shoulders slightly, still finding it weird that everyone was calling me 'Ailish' now after so many years of it being 'Alice'. I almost rolled my eyes with Terra when Andy told her to stay out of trouble. Where was the fun in that, anyway? I watched JD sit down with his laptop before looking at Andy when he spoke, sighing softly. "Life isn't always fun, Andy," I say, though what was really going through my mind was more along the lines of, 'Oh yeah, 'cause killing some innocent guy 'cause you still can't always control yourself is just so much fun.', though I didn't.

by LoveOnHerArms Sun Mar 06, 2011 1:10 pm

Frowning slightly Andy looked over her face knowing there was more to it then just that little line, "Ailish what happened?" he asked softly walking closer to her but keeping his hands in his pockets. JD ignored then typing and messing on his laptop. The looked on Ailsh face was to drop dead and leave it but something was eating at her inside "come on Ailish I know you better then that just tell me what happened" he said again softly her eyes searching her face for clues.

blahh so sort ^_^

by • Echo Sun Mar 06, 2011 1:15 pm

Alice
My eyes instantly became guarded when he stepped closer to me, wanting to take the same amount of steps back to keep the distance, but something stopped me, and I just shook my head slightly. "Not now," I say, my tone final, though I honestly doubted he would stop because of that. I glanced behind Andy at JD before looking back at him, not wanting to start pouring everything out in front of JD, or Terra, though I knew she would be out of hearing range by now.

by LoveOnHerArms Sun Mar 06, 2011 2:51 pm

Noting her guarded eyes Andy stopped a couple feet from her and sighed softly looking at her "then when Ailsh?" he asked back trying really hard not to snap at her, She glanced behind me at JD and Andy rolled his eyes, JD wasn't paying attention to them he was to busy on his laptop, Andy could have yelled in his face and JD wouldn't have noticed. "JD Ailish and I are going to look around" he called and JD nodded "yeah sure I'll take a pop" Andy rolled his eyes and looked back at her with a 'see hes not listening' look then strolled past her to a walking trail, he didn't even look back just called a "you comin" over his shoulder.

by • Echo Sat Mar 12, 2011 10:24 am

Ailish
I felt my blood begin to heat up at the undercurrent in his tone, jaw tightening so that my teeth were set tightly together. My eyes narrowed angrily at his look, and I was tempted to just turn and walk the other way, which seemed better than following him, but that was simply look far too childish. So I forced my legs to start walking after him, unclenching my fists, words and emotions pouring through my mind as I tried to lasso them and force them into words. When Andy finally stopped up ahead, I kept walking before I stopped a few feet away from him and started talking before he could.

"You know, I am so tired of you always being angry at me for some small thing, or thinking that I'm not important enough to tell me what you are all doing or where you're going! You don't need to know everything about me, you don't control me, you aren't some guy that's paying me to do a job, and yet all I get is you snapping at me when I try to keep little, insignificant parts of my life secret since they don't mean anything to anyone but me!" I snarl out, realizing the last part was a lie, that there was one thing in my life that did mean something to someone, though it always seemed that he was in charge of the game and always one step ahead of me. My arms were folded over my chest now, eyes narrowed down angrily, fists clenched so as not to accidentally do something stupid, my entire body and mind close to the point of boiling over from my fury that heated it, and I couldn't resist adding one more line.

"And you're the one asking me when it'll be time to talk? Well how about now, because there are so many things on my mind that I'm confused about and want answers to, starting with explanations. Not even three days ago, I saw you after I don't even care to remember how many years, and you insist on me coming with you on some job that I have no information on without even one simple answer as to why you left or why you want me to come with you," I say, my tone changing so that it trembled slightly in what I could only determine to be desperation, and my eyes searched his frantically, as if in there I would finally get an understanding of one part of my life I had never been able to figure out since I had met him. My heartbeat had pocked up considerably and I could feel in pounding in my chest and could hear it's upbeat thump, the only noise I could focus on to keep from going insane as I waited for him to speak.

Walking down the old walking trail, his hands shoved into his pockets, he could feel the anger coming off of her, finely stopping when they were far down the path, he turned to look at her, as she just strolled past and stopped a couple feet away. Looking at her with dark brown eyes Andy held back a sigh as she started on him,before he could even get a word in, Trying to get a word in Andy set his jaw, what the hell? all he wanted to know was, what was eating her up on the inside, he didn't mean for this to become her chewing him out. Unclamping his back morels Andy looked at her "Ailish , Im not mad at you, I never said anything about you not being not important for me to explained whats going on, but hell when I finally finger out what the hell were doing I tell you, alright?" Arms now crossed over his chest and jaw set Andy looked at her.

She snapped at him again but this time it held less anger and there was a tremble in her voice making Andy kick himself in the ass, she wanted to know why he left, and now that he found her again wanted to keep her with him. Her eyes frantically search his, he could feel her heart beat pick up, Taking a couple steps to her, Andy sighed looking down at her, stopping himself from pulling her into his chest. "I had to leave Ailish, We weren't on our guard when we were together, and he would have killed us" He gave into the urge to touch her and gently tucked stray hair behind her ear and let his fingers linger on her cheek, " I couldn't let that happen"He said in a gruff voice, "When I finely found you again at the safe house, I though it was a dream at first" he gave a hoarse humorless chuckle "But then you snapped back and I knew it wasn't a dream" He rubbed the back of his neck looking down at her "I couldn't just let you go again, It killed me to leave you the first time, I couldn't do it again" Dark eyes searching hers for something that believed him. The memory of that night came flooding back into his mind for the second time in three days, it was like a sucker pouch in the gut.

Ailish
My breathing was fast and painful, raw air dragging in too quickly through my throat and into my body, leaving me breathing heavily. I could feel the prickling feeling behind me eyes but was determined to not give in, ignored the rolling feeling in my stomach that made my head swim unpleasantly. When his fingers brushed against my cheek my heart jolted in my chest and his touch left a trail of fire on my skin that I never wanted to go away. "You could have said something, left a note, or called," I say in a soft voice, though I knew the options were impossible; they would be far too dangerous, and I knew Andy wouldn't ever try to hurt me in any way, though I doubted he honestly knew how much I was hurting, anyway.

Gah, so short, sorry!
