( Azalea and Ventia only for right now) *This takes place weeks after "Trial:Babysitting) The dreaded day has come and he wasn't ready. Alexander watched as Jason ran behind Nicholas trying to put his pants on him. He looked over and saw Nicole talking to her little "friends" excitedly. He could tell that she was nervous also excited at the same time. He listened as she told them that meeting strangers wasn't as bad as she thought. Zoe and Sissy had been really fun. Alexander wasn't altogether sure how he felt about that. He sighed knowing he could no longer shelter them. He allowed Nikki her talk with her little spirit friends and wouldn't step in the middle of Jason and Nick. He'd told the children last night that they were leaving and you could see the different reactions that played across their faces. There was sadness,curiosity,fear,excitement. He watched them all. Nicole was curious and excited though there was no hiding the underlying fear . Nicholas didn't understand why they had to leave and didn't really want to go. He wanted to stay there. Alex didn't want them to go either but he'd had time to sit on it and think about the whole situation and knew that he had to get them to New Dawn. Eliora wouldn't forgive him if he didn't and that would just be one more thing for her to hate him for. He reassured them that it was going to be ok and that they were going to like their new home and that he wasnt going to let anything happen to them. Of course he didn't know how true those words were but he was going to get them there. He walked over to Lance to see how he was faring this morning. "Hey bud, are you excited?" He asked and sat beside him. "Damn it Nick!Get your ass over here!" Jason growled and Nicholas laughed at him from the opposite end of the couch. "Ha ha, you're slow." He taunted an dtook off his shirt an dtossed it before running when he saw Jason leap over the coffee table. "You fucking brat." He growled under his breath as he chased the little boy. Alex didnt know whether to sigh or laugh. He was going to miss all of this and it broke his heart that he wouldnt experience none of it after today. He felt himself frowning before he cleared hi throat and sighed. "Nicholas," Alex began to say and Nicholas stopped in his tracks. Alex had used his first name even if he didnt say it in a mean way, Nick knew that he was getting into trouble. "If you dont get dressed then you will not eat breakfast." Was all Alex said over his shoulder. Nicholas growled and plopped down on the floor in his underwear,causing the curls in his soft hair to bounce,and pouted. "Man I was having fun." He muttered. Jason slowly approached him , with clothes in hand, as if expecting him to get up and bolt again. Nick grinned but when he spared a glance at Alex, he sighed and raised both of his arms over his head and allowed Jason to dress him. Nicole shook her head at her brother and returned to her conversation that she was having with her spirit buddies. Alex shook his head and smiled down at Lance. "Come on kiddo, let's get you an dyour sister some breakfast. Apparently your brother isnt hungry." He said and reach out a hand to ruffle his hair before getting up and going into the kitchen. "Yes huh, I am hungry. See? Im getting dressed."Nick whined and frowned as he tried to rush and get to the bar where the others were. Alex seemed to pay him no mind as he pulled down a few bowls and began to fix them each a bowl of cereal. As he passed out the bowls he chuckled when Nick scrambled onto an empty stool before handing him his. Jason ran his hand through his hair and sighed before walking into the kitchen as well. "Sia wanted to see the children before we leave." He said an dbegan to fix some toast. Alexander was fixing coffee to give him a question ing look. Jason saw him and shrugged. "Eh she said she wanted to give them something. "Really?!" Nicholas asked around a spoonful of Frosted Flakes. Alex gentkly boxed his ears and Nick pouted as he went back to his cereal. "I wonder what it is." Nicole said with a giggle and her white eyes danced just a bit. Jason chuckled and ruffled Nick's hair. "I wonder what it is too,but you know how your aunty Sia is. She likes to spoil you rotten." He said and she giggled. Jason watched as her eye slowly turned gold and those red and emerald flecks sparkled. He thought their eyes were quite unique in their coloration. He often times wondered about their father and whether he was a beast like Eliora or if he had his own unique familial traits that were apparent but they didnt see. He'd asked Elliora about him but the subject only seemed to sadden her dply and she refused to speak of him. So he was very curious as to what they would find once they reached New Dawn though of course he would not speak of this to Alexander because he knew how the bear was when it came to the children. He reached over and scopped up his toast when it popped up out of the toaster. He looked at the bear in question and saw that he was lost in thought as well. |

"I'm okay." Lance smiled a little at Alexander, fully dressed unlike his brother and for once he wasn't wearing any clothes that were dirty-they were clean-almost too clean as though he had put them aside the moment they were washed and left them there up until this moment. When he was told that they would be living somewhere else-he was slightly sad to leave this place...but he had always been curious for the better lack of the word about the outside world.
He wanted to hunt. It was a strange way to say it but he wanted to hunt other places out and get all these new exciting moments underneath his belt so to say. Plus, he was going to stay with Nikki and Nick-that was the best thing and he was sure that they wouldn't be abandoned wherever they would be going to now.
So he was sort of excited. More excited to be honest than he was letting off.
However at the mention of food, he jumped up from his chair, a instant grin filling his face. He was always hungry-if he denied a meal-instantly someone would know something was wrong with the little man.
He was too busy eating to wonder what Aunty Sia wanted with them-not that it mattered, he liked Aunty Sia and he wondered if Tia would be there too. He would miss Tia, he thought with a frown as he munched on the cereal. But the thought of finally exploring the outside world was more exciting than the childish sadness of leaving the people he was comfortable with-plus he could always visit-right?
-
Jareth was back from tour and after 'checking in' so to say, he was catching up with some long awaited duties. That was being stationed by the opening to the Pack House-a gated community. Not that many people came through cars-most were on foot but since he'd been away for a while, Mom was worried someone might think his scent was more rogue than packmate and therefore stationed him here.
Jareth sighed, he knew he had given his mother a scare the last time when he came back home with wounds-healed of course-but after she interrogated him on just how he had gotten them, well she wasn't all that pleased. She even forced him to go to the Infirmary despite the fact that he was currently not injuried for a check up.
Jareth ran a hand through his hair, his light silver eyes staring out at his Pack, at his home. Well, it sure was good to be home again, he thought with a small smile.

Alex smiled at Lance glad to see that he was raring to go as well. All it would take is for one of them to say that they didnt want to go and he wouldnt take them. But he knew that Jason would convince him to take them. When Nicholas had said he didnt really want to go, he nearly changed his mind. His heart was heavy but he knew that it was a good thing to have them going to New Dawn. They would be protected by a pack and have room to grow up and explore and not be sheltered, or rather wholed up , in a whore house.
He sighed and checked all the rooms to make sure that they had all of their things. He and Jason had started packing the van the night before though there were still a few things that needed to be packed up. He walked into their room and saw Nicholas's bear on the floor. He walked over and picked it up. The boy loved his bear and often times treated it as if it would come alive and play with him. He held it in his hand and simply looked at it. He closed his eyes and sighed before opening them and going back up front.
"Alright, guys lets hurry up and go see Aunty Sia so we can hit the road." He called out to them. He walked over to Nicholas and handed him his teddy bear before ruffling his hair.
Nicole was drinking her milk slowly while Nicholas on the other hand gulped his down and hurriedly put away his dishes after jumping off of the stool ,bear in hand. "Come on let's see what she's gonna give us!" He urged and laughed as he ran around the couch with his bear. Nicole looked at Nick and giggled at him. She looked at something beside her and said yea.
Jason was laughing at them when Alexander caught his attention. "Hey can you get the last of their things and get the van ready for us to go?" He asked and Jason nodded his head. "Yea sure." He gave Nicole a kiss on the cheek, went to pat Lance's shoulder and grabbed Nicholas by the collar of his shirt and moved him away from the door despite his reluctance to go with him. Jason laughed as he headed out.
Alexander smiled and patiantly waited for all of them to finish before they would head out to Sia's office. It was about five or ten minutes before they made it to Sia. Everyone was wanting to tell them good-bye,each giving them a gift of some kind as going away present. Everyone was emotional an dit made it even harder for Alex to take them away from there, from people who loved them to people didnt even know them.
As they neared the office they saw Kori and she scooped Nicole up and twirled her around. "Im going to miss you girl. Keep your brothers out of trouble ok?" She said with a smile kissed her cheek before turning to do the same to the boys. "You guys always protect your sister and make sure you come back and visit." She said before cupping their cheeks and kissing their foreheads.
Nicholas's face was red as he fought back tears. when Kori started to move away from them he launched himself at her and encircled her neck with his arms. "Im gonna miss you." He cried. Her gaze softened and for the first time Alexander saw her cry. "Now look what you've done. You made me cry. Im gonna miss you too, buddy but i'll see you again, ok?" She said and hugged him close before letting him go but he didnt want to let her go. So she held his hand as they walked into the office.
The sight that met them had Alexander pinching the bridge of his nose and sighing. Nicole and Nicolas were excited by what met them. Nick let go of Kori and ran to their gifts. Alexander glared at her. "Sia what the hell is all this?" He asked. Sia sat on her desk and watched as their faces lit up. She smiled and crossed her legs as she leand back on the desk.
"What?" She said innocently. "It only a going away present." She said with a big smile and a shrug. Alexander raised a brow and spoke incredulously. "Are you serious? Present? There are presents,plural, and its too many. How are we going to take all of that with us? I dont even know where they will be staying." He said trying not to get too mad.
"Oh dont be such a spoiled sport. It will be fine. I had Mateo to get you guys a small Uhaul trailer to attach to the van so that you guys can put all of it in there. Relax and dont ruin the moment." She said with a smile but there was such seriousness in her voice that Alexander didnt say anything more.
The presents that were waiting for the children in her office were plenty. There were bikes with saftey gears, a large teddy bear for Nikki, skates, iPads, game systems with games, they each had at least ten new outfits with a pair of tennis shoes for each outfit,night clothes and slipper, there were flat screen TVs, scooters, jewerly,toy cars and trains for Lance and Nicholas,dolls and a doll house for Nikki and then there was a large box sitting in front of all of that.
Nicholas saw it first and started to run to it but Sia stopped him. "Nah ah, the three of you have to open it together." She said and smiled. He looked at his siblings and smiled, his earlier tears forgotten. "Come on and lets see what's in the box!" He said excitedly. There was a little movement in the box that had him taking a step back but then he moved closer trying to get a read on what was in the box. Nicole eased over to him and the box curious as to what was in it.
Kori looked at them and smiled. She felt they would love their gift especially the one in the box. She walked over to Sia and leaned on the desk with her arms folded as she watched.

Lance was always a fast eater, even if someone told him to 'slow down' or 'whats the rush', it never occurred to him to slowly eat-it never occurred to him that he was even eating fast. He was just a fast eater. So when Alexander told them to hurry up, he was already ready. The only thing left was the tall glass of orange juice. Which he drank easily once Alexander told them to hurry up.
He jumped down from the table and dashed to the sink, dropping his dishes with a small clang into the sink before moving out of the eating area. He was all smiles when people greeted him off, not at all getting emotional (just yet) since this was such a new exciting experience for him. He was just excited. Even when Kori came to greet them, and he had given her a big hug around her waist, he still wasn't that emotional.
Especially at the sight of the mountain (and it really was a mountain) of toys that his Aunty Sia had exposed to them. He sort of stayed there by the door, just taking it all in, not even hearing the grown ups talk as he stared at the mountain of toys. At the sound of his brother's voice did Lance finally snap out of it. He visually shook his head and then ran up towards Aunty Sia and his siblings, his attention now purely on the box.
His eyes caught the slight movement and they widen, his breath caught as he quickly stared up at Aunty Sia. "What's in there?" He asked, his voice low and full of wonder. Within a second, his eyes were centered on the box again and like his brother, he was intrigued. Stepping closer just to get closer. Even taking deep breaths just to see if he could pin-point the scent (if there was any) with his noise.
"Let's open it." He grinned at his siblings, his voice rising with excitement, his fingers itching to rip open the box and see their present.

Alexander glared at Sia as he saw the children check out their gifts. More gifts to go with what they had already been given. It was a bit much, especialy when he and Jaason were the ones who would have to go and unpack all of it. He turned back to the children and found that he couldnt bring himself to ruin their fun. So he simply looked on.
Sia was all too happy to watch the darlings enjoy their presents though sh eknew that they would need to head out soon if they were to get to NewDawn in good time. She hoped that they would they take good care of her godbabies. When she saw all of them standing curiously at the box, she grinned. "Ok, you ready?" She asked. Nikki was a bit hesitant but she fed off of her brothers' excitement. "Yeah yea, can we open it now aunty Sia?" Nick pleaded and Sia nodded.
"Go ahead." She said grinning even more. Nicholas readily opened the box and then he simply stared. Inside the box were 3 Iberian lynx kittens. Alex saw them and growled. "Why the hell did you get them a cat?" He asked through clenched teeth.
Sia looked at him pointedly. "You got something against cats?" She asked in a dangerously sweet voice that had even Kori straightening up. Alex growled at her."You know what the hell I meant." Sia continued to look at him a moment before she waved him away.
"Icouldnt rightly give them a dog. Besides, they werew given to me as payment and I have no use for them so why not let the children have them?" She said with a shrug. Growling, Alex turned back to the children.
"They look weird." Nick said and reached for one only to have it hiss at him and try to scratch him.Instead of being scared or upset about what it had done, Nick grinned broadly. "I want that one." He said and point to the one that seemed to be glaring at him and moved whenever he tried to touch it.
Nicole peeked into the box and her face lit up. "Aww they're pretty. They're not weird." She said and hesitantly stuck her hand in the box not wanting to be scratched. One of the kittens hesitantly came to her and sniffed her hand before rubbing against it. She giggled as she looked at the kitten."I like this one." She said and picked it up. It purred and continued to rub against her.
"See look they like them." Sia said after a moment. "Now you gotta let them keep them." She said as if it were a simple fact. Alexander opened his mouth to retort when Nicole turned to him with a worried look.
"We cant keep them?" She asked and Alexander felt his chest tighten. He couldnt deny her a thing when she looked at him mlike that. He sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. "You can keep them." He said and stopped them quick when they tried to celebrate. "But, they have to stay in the box until we get to New Dawn." He said. Nicole was happy with that and placed the kitten back intgo the box with the others.
Sia grinned and got off of her desk." Alrighty kiddos, come give aunty hug. I want you all to be good for Alex and Jason. Always stick together, there's nothing strong than the bond of family. When you get older come visit. Aunty love you." She said and held her arms out for them. Nicole and Nicholas went to her and clung to her. nly when all three had come to her would she hug them back and kiss each of them on their forehead.
"Alright loves, take care and enjoy your toys." She said and her eyes looked suspiciously bright.
Sighing AAlexander went to the box and picked it up. "Alright let's go. " He said leading them to the awaiting car outside. He shook his when he saw that Sia had not been lying. There was a Uhaul ttached to their van.Jason was talking to Octavious though they both stopped their conversation to look at them. The look on Aleaxnder's face told Jason to keep his mouth shut. "Are you guys all set?" Jason asked and Alexander motioned for him to go inside.
Alex set the kittens in the passanger side of the van and opened the door for the children. There were three carseats for them to be strapped in. "Come one." He said and picked up Nikki and set her in the middle. Then he strapped in Nicholas on the left of Nikki. He turned to Lance, ready to strap him in. "Come on kiddo." He said and waited for him. Only when they were all strapped in would he turn to Octavian and ordered him to watch them while he helped to put all of their other things in the uhaul.
Jason had gone back in and by thw time Alexander was there in Sia's office, the man was laughing. There were several others that had joined them and were gathering the gifts to take to the uhaul.
Once everything was said and done they headed out to the road to New Dawn.
~*~ Time skip~*~
It had taken quite some time to get to their destination but they made it. Alex looked in the rear view mirror and saw that Nicole and Nicholas were both sleep. They road up in a crimson mini van with a uhaul attachment. He wore his hair in a low cut, wore light blue shirt with a pair of blakc jeans. Jason was in the passenger side dozing off. They approached what looked like a check point(?) and slowed up to speak to the gentleman there.
"Hi, Is this New Dawn?" He asked wanting to make sure that he was in the right place.

Lance peered in the box and his eyes widen slightly at the sight of the kittens, he glanced up quickly to look at his Aunt Sia and then back at the kittens, watching as how his brother almost got scratched by the seemingly wild animal. He was grinning however he realized and stared at the last Lynx, since both his siblings already claimed the first two.
Not that he minded, the middle one was the one he had found himself wanting either way. It watched him silently once it realized he was staring at it and Lance decided then that this was the one he would want. "Very pretty." He murmured along with his sister and eased his hand into the box, not touching the kitten but placing his hand just a few inches away from its nose-allowing it to get to know his scent.
When Aunty Sia called out to them, he moved away from the box, smiling down at his kitten before moving closer to his extraordinary aunt. He buried himself in her warmth and closed his eyes tightly to not let the emotions he had for this motherly figure ruin the exciting experience. After all, she had said they could visit right? He would see his Aunty-all of them and his Uncles again. This wasn't goodbye-just until next time.
He eased back a little, smiling widely now up at his Aunty Sia, his fingers brushing against his forehead where she had kissed him. He waved once at everyone and followed his siblings and Alexander, squaring his shoulders and forcing the childish urge to cry to be gone. He was excited to go somewhere else but he also was sad to leave all his friends.
"We'll see them again right?" He asked his Alexander as he settled into his car seat, glancing back at the compound that he was so used to living in. But even without his Uncles' answer, Lance knew that he would see them again. In his heart.
-
Jareth paused at the sound of tires and poked his head out from the notebook that he had been writing lyrics in to look out of the window of the guard post. He caught sight of a unfamiliar car and frowned, easing up from the seat and letting the pencil roll away from his fingers. He opened the door and leaned against it, waiting for the car to come closer, his hand ready to grab the gun holstered on his hips. Personally, he enjoyed blades more since he was a child but for this job at least, he enjoyed letting people know he was armed.
But unlike his mother, Jareth wasn't quick to shoot and then ask questions later. So the gun stayed on his hip unless he was provoked otherwise. "Sure is." Jareth nodded down at the man, bending his knees slightly at a familiar scent and to scan whomever else was in the car. His eyes first caught on the man in the passenger side before glancing at the back, finding himself staring into curious eyes.
Kids.
Well that seemed to be all the Black's soft spots. Children.
He was beginning to frown at the sight of the alert boy staring at him through the window but then stopped and straightened.
"One second." Jareth told the man and with his eyes still on them, pulled out his phone and made a phone call. After about ten seconds, he clicked and then smiled, "Mind me asking your purpose here? Name's Jareth by the way."
-
Ventia eased from her chair, the phone still held tight in her hand, something akin to worry in her dark grey gaze. The whole reason she stationed her son at the check-in spot was because besides from pack members who came in cars or motorcycles, it was barely used. Rogues on foot were encountered by the Outsiders or the Warriors and by the time they reached the check in, everything was already settled.
Not to mention, Jareth had been hurt not so long ago and she was worried if he could still hold his ground. "Damn." She cursed bitterly under her breath before moving out from her office, moving through the house until she was in front of her Alpha's room where she rapped on the door twice.

Along the way, Alex let the radio play so that it could d down out the sound of the kittens crying. Nikki had wanted to hold hers so that it wouldn't be sad. She'd named it Lilly. He didn't bother asking where she'd gotten the name from, it was most likely one of her "friends " who gave it to her. He hoped that she would make real friends. Nick didn't seem too bothered by it,he was too busy talking to his brother.
Jason sat in the passenger seat looking a bit bored. He tried to quiet the kittens down but when one of them bit him, he said fuck it and decided to just let them cry..The closer they came to New dawn the more tense Alex became. So when he stopped to speak with the guard, he nearly growled when the man came too close to the van. He cleared his throat to cover it up, not wanting to cause unnecessary trouble and frighten the children. He took note of the weapon on his side and fought back his instincts to protect the children. He didn't like how the man's eyes stayed on the pups.
"No I don't mind at all." He said trying to get the mans attention away from the pups. "I am here to see Azalea. I have business with her that needs to be settled as soon as possible." He stated. "My name is Alex and this is Jason." He introduced, soon Nick piped in and spoke.
"Yea and I'm Nick. This is my sister Nikki and that's my brother Lance." He said with excitement. The man smelled funny but it made him curious. Alex nearly snarled at the Nick while Jason tried not to laugh. When Alex shot him a death glare he sobered up quick and turned to Nick. "Do you remember what aunty Sia said?" Nick nodded and grinned. "Never interrupt when the grown ups are talking." He said and after a moment the realization of his words him and he frowned. "Oops. Sorry uncle Alex. " Jason chuckled when Alex pinched the bridge of his nose. "Its OK. Just let the grown ups speak." He said and turned his attention back to Jareth. "So,is it possible for me to speak with her?" He asked fighting the urge to turn around and take the pups.
Jason felt bad when he saw Nick sitting quietly frowning. "Here play with the kittens." He said and handed the box back to them so that they could play with the kittens.
