( Eliora ) The room was dark and it smelled of antiseptic strong, the days had passed but the wounds were not fully healing. Some where still bright red like fire zipping up along her chest, was slow to move and very sick like. The movement was as if her limbs were heavy, extra slow but she forced her self up off the bed. It wasn't that she would rip out her stitches though that happened often now, she couldn't lay in bed for months. Her father refused to let her sink into the dark whole that she had with in her. It was not allowed and she didn't understand why, once the shock had worn off and the kind words where not near her constantly she started to do just that. But when she had reached the part where she wanted to only lay there her father would show up as if he knew... he just knew. She turned over in the bed most of the time so she didn't have to look at him, she had allowed him to comfort her at first. Now she was trying to push him away, she had found out that the men that had attacked her and used her like some toy. Well they had been his and that didn't sit well with her, she at first thought he had sent them to do that to her. But once she was told by Raider that was not so and she was told what he had done to them. She could tolerate him being around, but now she wouldn't let him get close enough to touch her. Raider when he had come in to dress her wounds she had tried to throw things at him. And since he couldn't even toss further then the edge of the bed she felt unsafe. Even though he kept his distance and let her know why he was there. She let him know verbally that she didn't want him there, though he let her know that no one else was there at the moment. He wished that Foxxy was here so he didn't have to do this, it made him uncomfortable as it was. Instead of dressing her wounds he would sit across the room and speak with her. Her breathing was labored with how weak she felt, it was her fault she told her self this often. And being afraid of a man that had nothing to do with what happened was just as stupid she had told her self. The house was her prison till she had started going outside. Fighting she had watched them do so, it made her shake a little originally but she noticed the movements they did. They where not full on for some, like they were playing; like her and her brother had when they were pups. But more in a human like physical fighting, this made her curios. But now that she was in his home of caves she had retreated, even the bonds she may have made seemed broken. Then she didn't have time to think about what had happened but now...now thinking was the only thing she did. Raider sighed scratching the back of his head," You can do it your self if you like ... its just clean up" He would stand up watching her jerk when he took a step forward till he set the gauze on the bed." I know you can make it to the washroom. Just wash with gentle soap and dry before covering it with a thin layer of antibiotic ointment before covering it with that gauze and tape" He set the tape down on the bed. Lottie looked at him before a few tears slipped down her cheeks, she wanted Foxxy and her bodyguard. " No.." was all she said wiping her cheeks. Raider would walk into the bathroom and turn on the water it ran fairly hot. He would come in with baby soap taking a cloth and it to her bedside before he would sit down. " So has your father spoken to you about what he has planned ...I am in the dark" He said with a half smile as if he was trying to pluck secrets from his boss via her. To take her mind off what he was about to do, it wasn't that it was painful. It would be just something she would not be comfortable with if she focused just on that. Lottie watched him for a moment before she would unbutton her dads shirt, he had given it to her to ware for a while. Even though she was feeling the way she did it gave her some comfort, which was odd in her mind being that she would not let him hug her. She shook her head and Raider would chuckle." Oh come on you got to know something" Lottie would smile weakly. He did not react when seeing the wounds even though they still looked bad, it made him wonder why she was not healing properly like her father did. The recovery she was doing now was mostly mental, glancing at his watch he wondered when Foxxy and the others would be here. He would continue doing what he was tasked to, " I know that he plans on speaking to them today. I don't know if you are invited " She said her breathing was even, he thought that was good that she wasn't panicking so he kept talking. " Well I was hoping that i would. I do not like being out of the loop" He was used to being at Voss's right hand that was changing now. ~~~~ Voss sighed as he looked over the large cavern as his men moved in a large table that was round, he couldn't help but laugh. They were not knights of old, but it was a good setting being able to be equal to each other while discussing. Even though he had final say on every thing, he wanted them to feel they had some what of a say. The chairs were personally done for him by some one even the table, the carpenter took time to etch a story along the table surface that then was covered with glass that was secured to the table. The chairs were pieces of the story, The chair he sat in was different then the others. The cavern had walls that had been shaped to give it a mixed feel, it was made sure that the cave was sanitary. Even though Lottie was not a Alpha female or really given any tasks he wanted her near him. That was if she would allow it, though the first meeting was going to a rough one to discuss the rules and stations. He wanted to bring up a trail period for those that were to join, but he wanted them to all go through their trail. He considered Foxxy's trail already over, she had saved his daughter and was working on her recovery. Less Anthony thought their was something else she should do. His daughters trail had not come to pass yet and he would only wait so long before he would push her out of his lands. This part he had already made his mind up on. But wanted to discuss it regardless, if they had a good point he may be persuaded to change his mind. But he truly doubted that one. He looked down at his watch wondering where the group was, and weather or not the death of their comrades had taken a deeper toll then they could handle. He knew the way he was thinking was to business like but it was hard for him to adjust, he was still trying. He shifted his shoulders and rolled them before popping his neck before he took off the jacket, his worry was causing him to warm up a little. It must of mixed with nerves as well his stomach was rolling, he had forgotten to eat but he did all the time so he didn't think it was that. Though if he remembered right which he hadn't, that he had not eaten since the hunt they had gone on and that was a while ago. He had been to busy stuck like glue to his daughter, even though now she was distant. He should of known once the threat was gone she would pull away from every body, or at least try to.

The loss of their friends was suspected but no matter how hard you try to prepare yourself for something like that it still comes as a hard blow. To see your friends, brothers in arms and family torn apart by an explosion or ripped open from being sprayed with bullets,or hell even getting shot in the head. It was expected but it was a hard pill to swallow. They hadnt been able to bring them home and it killed him that they didnt have proper burials.
Anthony sat on the couch of Kia's home and simply hung his head. This was just more that he would have to try to atone for in this lifetime but he honestly felt that no matter what he did there was no way he could atone for all that he had done. The house was deadly quiet except for the inconsolable cries of Foxxy as she mourned the loss of her family. The sound of her cries ripped Anthony apart, hell it even brought tears to his own eyes. With a snarl he wiped his face roughly and stood up. In that moment BJ came through the door. He looked worst of all and he just stood there staring at Anthony. It was the first time that Anthony had seen the man since leaving Benjamin's place. He was worried that the man would do something to himself which wouldnt help anyone at this point.
Anthony knew the moment he registered Foxxy's crying because his face broke and crumbled and he fell to the floor as sorrow took ahold of him.Immediately Anthony was there closing the distance to him wrapping his arms around the man. If there was anything worst than a woman crying it was seeing a prideful man crumble like a babe and cry his heart out. Anthony put aside his own feelings so that he could comfort his friend because he knew that he was hurting. He held him in a strong grip allowing him to cry as much as he needed to. He would be their pillar of support in this time of need.
~~ Foxxy cried and cried and cried some more. It couldnt be real, they couldnt be gone. She could see them all joking and laughing, wrestling, and fighting. She remembered the meals they all shared and to know that things will never be the same it tore at her.
Evera sat beside Foxxy with an arm in a splint and a hand on her back in comfort but there was no consoling Foxxy. Tears rolled down her own cheeks, her eyes red and puffy, yet she didnt make a sound aside from a few sniffles. She didnt bother being snarky to Kia, she was too upset to put forth any real heat behind it. ~~
Antwan stood outside stone faced as he looked down at the necklace he held in his hand. He'd lost his best friend,his ace boon coon, his right hand, his brother,and it hurt his heart. When he felt tears fall down his cheeks he snarled and angrily wiped them away. If he hadnt ripped them apart already he would kill the murderous bastards and do it all over again and again and again and again until he felt better. But there was no feeling better about losing his boy. He placed the necklace around his neck and walked off.
He snarled when the tears kept coming and went into a fit of rage destroying anything that got in his way. He was so filled with anger he didnt know how to seperate himself from it. He knew that they had to go and meet with Voss but he was not in the right frame of mind to be in the company of anyone at the moment.
~~~
Antonio sat on a tall boulder as he looked across the way. He was smoking a joint and was deep in thought. He had lost so many people. Falcon sat beside him with sad eyes,the man refused to shift back to human from. For what reasons, Antonio didnt know. Honestly he was on his way to being fucked up. Several bottles of alcohol sat behind him as he watched his brother throw a fit. At the moment, Antonio was numb. He didnt feel one way or another and he liked it that way. He was honestly tired of feeling shit,he didnt like it.
Why cry? People die al the time. It was a cycle and no matter how much one cries there was no changing that. There was no bringing someone back from the dead. They were gone and honestly they are much better off dead than in this fucked up world. These were his thoughts only. He knew speaking these thoughts aloud wouldnt bode well and plus those assholes would blow his high.
"Falcon man..." He started to say but soon lost his train of thought and shrugged as he continued to watch Antwan destroy shit, it was very funny. ~~~
Jay couldnt believe what had happened but he knew that they had to continue their new lives and stop wallowing in sorrow. Was he torn up about the loss of his friends? Hell yeah, but he knew that life didnt stop for anyone. He walked to the room where Foxxy was still crying , though it sounded like she was crying herself to sleep.
He poked his head inside and looked at them. "We need to get going ladies." He said softly and nodded his head to Kia. He knew that she was the only one that the Foxx would allow to miove her.
He walked into the livingroom and saw Anthony holding BJ. Jay clenched his jaw at the sight. The man was so broken that it was painful to look at him. It made Jay uncomfortable because he didnt know what to do for him. "Hey dont forget we have that meeting with Voss soon in the caves. I'll go round everybody up so that we can go." He said and headed outside. He rounded up the guys and noticed that Antwan and Antonio were nowhere to be found and sighed.
Those two already knew about the meeting so he wouldnt approach them about it. Though he was a bit hesitant to approach Antwan knowing how destructive he was at the moment. He gave a peircing whistle for Falcon and when he recieved an answering cry, he smiled and nodded his head. ~~~**~~~ 45min. later ~~~**~~~
The ride to the caves were solemn and quiet. Anthony had BJ with him, not trusting the man to be alone,as well as the girls. Everyone else were in their perspective vehicles following close behind. It was almost like a funeral line and in a sense thats what it was. They pulled up to the caves and parked. For a moment they all just sat there. Anthony sighed and got out of the car and it was only then that the others actually followed. BJ got out with a tired yet deep frown and followed close beside Anthony.
He looked over his rag tag group knowing that some were still on the way but the main group, aside from a few, were in attendance. He gave a sigh and continued on inside the cave.

Kia stood in the corner of the room watching Foxxy cry she could not say anything that would consul her, there was nothing any one could say about her fallen family to make her stop. Kia knew this, she knew them and had grown to love them over time but not as Foxxy had. Foxxy kept each and every person in her heart and when they had gone to the other side. Well it was like a part of Foxxy most likely had died, she was a sweet woman that had such a big heart for every one. Kia would look to Evera and opened her mouth about to tell her to get away from her but she shut it and kept silent.
Something that she thought was best for Foxxy at this moment, though she felt something when Evera sat to close to her but she would not say anything. The time for petty anger and jealousy was over, things have happened that never can be undone. She was sad and more then a little pissed that in the end what had happened to every one. The pain they all must be feeling.
~~~
La La sipped from the bottle thinking on how she had felt the rush of the battle, now that i was over she felt a sick feeling seeing what it was doing to a man that was just like her. Yet he grieved for them something she had never done in her entire life, she had let her self get to cold. No she had lied to her self and those that she had befriended when they had died she put it aside as if they had never met or never been her friend so why should she have cared. But seeing Antwan like this well, it broke something in her. She would look down for a moment and then get up shoving the bottle in Ka'ron's hand" Give that to him when he is done...He will need something to take the edge off." She knew Antwan wasn't looking for a girl to coddle him, they had made it very clear that they were fuck buddies nothing more. So she knew if she walked over and tried to take his mind off it he would most likely try to kill her and her being what she was would of done the same. And today was not the day for more death, she would move past the crying men and head down the hall.
There had been some one that La La had not seen on the way up here, the first time knowing that she was apart of the group had her wondering who had set the whole thing off. And seeing how Kia had not been so happy to see the girl made La La on edge for some reason. She wanted to see what the three where doing in there, with all the crying she knew that it was most likely just Foxxy crying, she would just seeing Jay getting out of his way.
~~~
Kia would keep watching Foxxy cry, it was something that made Kia very unhappy. She knew that for now there was nothing she could do to change the pain for her. And that is what killed her inside the most because pain of loss only got better with time. There was no quick fix for that, Kia had technically not gotten over her friend; she only shoved it deep inside to deal with later. And she had done so when she was alone around no one else, when she first had come to be in Foxxy's house. But then her feelings were by Evera for something she had no idea about till she got there what was happening. That she had not still deal with, she was glad that the woman she had grown to hate was being silent right now.
When Jay came in she would nod to him," We will be out soon..." She stared at Evera her face blank, before she pushed off the wall and wiped her face noticing the wet feeling that coated her cheeks. She didn't know why she was crying, she was not as deeply connected as she knew she would of been years down the line. She moved to Foxxy to pick her up and hold her.
~~~**~~~ 45min. later ~~~**~~~
Kia held Foxxy close as she whispered to her playing with her hair, She paid not much attention at where they were going. She knew they were going to be meeting Voss, this was something she thought could be saved for later. She knew that Foxxy needed more time, they should of gone on their own and not dragged her into this. Is what her emotional side was saying, but her rational and logical thinking said that if she was push herself into something else it would help ease her mind to the pain of it all. Ka'ron had rode with them and felt the need to keep looking back at them which only pissed Kia off, she wanted to act like a man and not a worrying mother hen. She could care for Foxxy just fine, though she was feeling the need to worry about Anthony as well. So she kept her mouth shut, when they stopped she had a feeling of just wanting to keep her in the car with her. But seeing Anthony get out she knew they couldn't, she would smile weakly to Foxxy trying to pull her from her sadness. " Come on sweet sugar" She whispered softly her fingers would brush her cheek gently. Kia would move out of the car holding her close carrying her like a damsel as she watched Anthony, if anyone moved close to her to take Foxxy from her she would growl less she protested then she would be silent.
Ka'ron was respectful enough to know now wasn't the time to argue with the cujo about who was to be near Foxxy so he left the girls alone and didn't bother them but he was there if she asked for him. After every thing he had no idea what to say, not knowing till that moment that every ones life here would be changed. Some of it good and some of it not so good, losing those that he was just starting to get to know left him feeling a odd. He had not had a true chance to become one of those that were lost yet he knew how it felt to lose some one close like that, that was family. He followed Kia and Anthony any where and would continue to do so weather paid or not because he knew that Foxxy would be there.
~~~
Voss had waited for his daughter to be brought by Raider who had cleaned and brought her on time to him. She sat on the seat beside his watching him speak with Raider, she had not panicked once with Raider. She had closed her eyes and let him wash her, they had spoke about things that had nothing to do with what happened and it made her feel like for one moment that it had never happened. Which she preferred but knew t he reality of things, she still jumped or became scared some times around even people she was comfortable with. Specially if some one scared her from behind, all they had to do was startle her too by alerting her that they were behind her if she wasn't paying attention it made her chest tighten and her whole world crash down till she could regain her composure and she would see flashes of the things she never wanted to see again. Raider never made her feel that way at all though she did have a feeling about him that she couldn't place that was unpleasant, it had nothing to do with what had happened to her. She sighed rubbing her eyes as she began to get a headache from every thing, Her mind trying to process ever thing was different then others. Something she had understanding was others and her own emotions, she could not fully understand why things were this way. Her father had told her that all the bad men but one was gone, she didn't understand why she jumped when some one came up behind her or when someone that was a man tried to give her a hug she would fall apart.
Raider smiled to her and she smiled back voss witnessed this and didn't understand as well, why she was so comfortable with him but had a hard time letting him in. With Voss always getting what he wanted before it was hard for him to comprehend why his daughter was not be wanting to be near him any more. Something he would have to suss out carefully, though he had a good idea that she partially blamed him for it and he didn't blame her. Though she thought today was going to be a good day since her father had made her come home to get used to the place. He told her that things would ease with time, he seemed wise to her as he spoke so she believes him.

(sorry if my post is "eh")
When Kia picked Foxxy up, Foxxy buried her face in her neck while Evera glared at her yet remained silent. Foxxy wanted it all to be a dream and the fact that it wasnt, it hurt so bad. She snuggled even closer to Kia as she held her. She didnt care where they were going or what they were doing she just wanted to get away from everything.
Evera growled and clenched her jaw. Despite the fact that no words were spoken She could still feel the animosity Kia felt for her and it had her putting her guard up. She was hurting just as well as the rest but the only two people who actually gave a damn were unavailable to her. so where did that leave her? She knew where, it left her mourning the loss of her friends alone. She was looking down lost in her thoughts when she ran into someone. She hissed at the immediate pain that spread through her and she nearly cried out. Instead she hissed and looked up with a snarky comment heavy on her tongue.
The woman before her had her biting her tongue as heat filled her and she took a step back. "Fuck man." She said with a frown and took a step back. She looked her over before looking at her face. She didnt have time for this and needed to go. She nervously adjusted her splint and cleared her throat. "Excues me, I need to pass." She said and tried to pass by her. She had a reaction to her but she was currently in pain and couldnt exactly be sure what that reaction was, though one thing was for sure, she was a women she didnt want to piss off.
Antwan pounded on a nearby tree until his hands were bloody and even then he didnt stop. The more he healed the more he pounded on the tree. The poor plant had the misfortune of beeing the only viable thing to take his anger out on. He didnt see a tree no, he saw his best friend's murderer and he was determined to destroy the man all over again. ~*~
Foxxy whimpered and tried to bury herself within Kia's arms. When Kia growled she lifted her head to see who it was and she seen that it was Ka'ron, she wanted to curl up with him but didnt want to let Kia go so she snuggled into Kia even more. She was always too shy to approach him and no was no different.
She wanted to hide and no matter how much she tried to disappear in Kia's arms, she still felt exposed. With a sniffled She shifted in her arms. ~~ Anthony could hear the others filing in behind him as he moved further into the cave. When he reached the area where the tables were he mustered a small smile for Lottie before speaking to Voss. "What's up?" He said and moved to shake Voss's hand

La La would look over the shorter woman and raise her brow seeing the anger bubble and fizzle with in her eyes. Though they swim in sadness anger was the prevalent emotion in them. She would slowly step aside giving her room. " Sure thing Feathers" She gave the air a small sniff and moved out of the girls way wanting to watch her go.
This new distraction was a blessing to her not having to think about what was going on, La La was not one to wallow deeply in front of anyone. Seeing as how this place was not a crazy house full of crying men or ones trying to let the anger flow out. She had to pause and think for a moment on why, why was she only one not hanging on death. Even Antwan was hung up on it, she felt it yes; but remaining their was something she felt she couldn't do.
Perhaps it was the fear of remaining there once there. She would follow the bird slowly along with Foxxy and Kia, she would figure it out later. Right now she was going to stalk the knew person to meet in the group, but from a far.
~*~
Kia would whisper softly to her as she pet her hair and watched the ride, when they reached there destination she would move out of the car and fall in line holding Foxxy tightly. Ka'ron would move beside Kia and gently run his finger along Foxxy's exposed cheek, Kia's attention was quick to come to him her eyes hard. But seeing him look sad she would slowly relax her anger with any that came near her. " Sweetness do you want Ka'ron?" She whispered softly, she would not let her go but she thought perhaps him holding her might give her something to let the pain wash away. Knowing both held something for each other, and that Kia could not covet her forever. She wanted to give her the options, he was more then happy to take Foxxy away from Kia.
~~~
Voss would see him and sigh softly has he reached out and took his hand shaking it he would pull him in and hug him. " They will be remembered" Voss let go. Lottie would nod her head to him, she was aware of what happened that they had lost a few of their own, she all so knew that her father was having a memorial for them. He knew that all they were important to his knew pack, she would watch her father move to the table touching it. " I know that grieving is important. But if you sit in it to long it can kill one inside leaving a shell, laying new work can be a blessing. " He would sigh softly moving his hand along his chair taking in the etched wood. " Come every one sit please so we can talk. "
Lottie would smile lightly to them it was more of saying i was sorry for your loss then a happy smile, moving her hands she would practice sign to Kia that she wanted to speak with her later when the meeting of her fathers was over. Raider would stand guard seeing La La in with the group at the cave entrance coming in made him raise a brow. He had become more like a people watcher as of lately hanging back and not speaking but only listening when it came to the new group.
Though they had fought in battle together he was only used to the small group of him, La La and Ivan for a very long time. Now that he had settled in with Voss group from before, well now he was having to get used to a even larger group and more organized. Meant that rules were applied that were more strict, something he was ok with but was having trouble adjusting to the thought of it.

Evera confused by her reaction to the woman despite the pain that tried to mask it. What was the reaction? The fuck if she knew, and it kinda made her nervous. She pulled her bottom lip in her mouth and nearly flinched at the immediate pain that movement caused serving as a reminder of what had happened. Fucking bastards. She started to move past her when she heard the woman's comment and she paused for a brief moment and looked at her out the corner of her eye before walking on. No one had called her that in a long time and the one who gave her that name now hated her with a passion. She didnt know how to react to this strange woman using it.
Evera could feel the woman at her back and was determined to ignore her. No doubt that butch Kia had told her some shit to make her dislike her. Whatever. She was used to people hating her for some reason or another. It just made her dislike Kia even more. ~~
The feel of Ka'ron touching her skin was very ,yet oddly, soothing. She looked to Kia, her hazel eyes red and puffy, before looking over to Ka'ron. Despite her tears she found herself blushing. She actually did want him, in more ways than one,but she was still not bold enough to show any kind of affection or favor towards him openly.
On the inside she was saying yes but on the outside she hesitated. She looked back at Kia again and then back at Ka'ron. What had Mike told her? 'It's better to take a chance and fall than to play it safe and be lost in endless wonder. You never know you might just have someone special ready to catch you on the other side.' He'd given her one of his famous half grins before turning his gaze to BJ and then back to her to give her a wink.
At the thought of Mike, fresh tears began to fall down her face and she nodded her head at Kia's question. ~~
Anthony nodded and accepted the hug a bit surprised at the action though it was welcome. He let go when he felt Voss pull away and watched his movements. He looked to his group and had to admit that Voss's words had merit. He too felt that giving them something to occupy them would be a step on the road to recovery. "I agree." He said softly. He motioned for the others to take seats as he took one himself.
BJ tried to muster a smile for Lottie when he saw her but he just couldnt maintain one. Jay nodded to her and to Voss as he came in and took a seat.
Evera just simply stood in the background not really comfortable and not really sure where she fit in with this group of people. Her gaze went to Foxxy and then they went to the woman she ran into in the hall at the house. For a moment she let her gaze linger but soon turned it back to Anthony and the Dude he was meeting with.
"Ok, so what's the first order of business?" Anthony said to try to get everyone's attention shifted.

La La could feel the tension coming off this woman, it was boiling with anger and fear of the unknown masked by more pain. She raised a brow to the thought that crossed her mind as she followed her out, she made sure she rode with her as they went to Voss's council chamber he had cooked up.
~*~*~
Ka'ron would let Kia put Foxxy into his arms, he held her close him he watched Kia look at him with a scolding look. As if to tell him to treat her right or she would end him quickly, he would give her a half smile and then look down at Foxxy. He stared down at her as he held her close in his arms, she felt light as a feather to him and it made him smile even though his eyes were blood shot from crying. Yes he had done his own crying by himself and then he buried it, kissing her forehead wanting it to be more then that but needed to wait till the pain passed and this meeting was over with. Lottie would see BJ try and smile and her heart sunk, and she nearly cried because of the pain he was feeling. He was like a Teddy bear of a man he looked no more threatening to her then a small mouse. She wanted to get up and give him a big hug but her father stated she was to sit and remain unless he expressed other wise. But her attention went to Jay to bow her head to him and smile a little hoping that they all could find peace.
Ka'ron would move to Foxxy's chair, it had Fox's etched all along it running and playing and the symbol of healing on it. He would place her on it and knee beside her he didn't want to leave her, he truthfully wanted her in his lap but it was not his chair to sit and he so far had no place but a follower in this meeting. Voss would wait for them to sit before he would take the seat, sitting in his chair it having skulls etched into it with Alpha wolves locked in a battle with several howling around it. He would sigh softly watching La La move to stand next to the woman that they had brought. Raider would stand behind Lottie as her guard leaving Voss to put his full attention to the meeting. " I would say any one that fought that day has earned the right to be here and i should not push out. But what of our people who follow? I want them to have to go through something, to know our pain. Not something tragic but the sweat and blood and tears we went through. This is not a pack i want taken lightly" He rubbed his hand on the top of his other as if nervous about something before patting it gently into the other. " I do not want it to be easy, meaning if they back away to entering because of their trail they truly do not want to be here. " He would look them over before he spoke again. " This is what I want put to a vote or discussed along with other things you might have for me, as this is new to me I need help keeping this pack together."
La La would raise her brow when her look lingered on her, she smiled wondering what the bird was thinking. She felt a pull of some kind that she had never had before, and it was not something sexual but deeper then that. She frowned but watched the bird, regardless of what was said among the group she would follow Voss because he gave her a place to stay and at first she was paid. Now she could do work outside of here and have a home to come home to, even if it meant protecting others to have that place to stay. She wondered when the bird had come into play, the dirty looks she had been giving Kia meant that it was longer then the meeting between them. So she assumed she originally had been apart of the group for a while, but she would ask when she had the time and would not interrupt the group.

Evera shifted uncomfortably as she felt the woman's gaze and for the first time it mde her feel femine and she didnt know what to make of that feeling. She was always the tomboy who got on everybody's last nerve. Well, not everbody. There was Anthony and Foxxy. They were her only real friends and they were the only ones who truely cared about her. She didnt know what it was about this strange woman or why she made her feel the way she did but Evera didnt want to have anything to do with it and wished it would go away. She didnt know what to do with it and wasnt sure if she wanted to.
~*~
Foxxy was stiff at first in his arms but when his strength and scent surrounded her she snuggled deeper into his arms. When he kissed her forehead, Foxxy looked up at him and bit her lips. He had been crying? She gently touched his face as she saw that his eyes were red. She let her fingertips trail down his face lightly before curling it to her chest and burying her face in his chest;enjoying the weird sensation that danced across her skin. It helped to ease her pain a little and soothe her aching heart.
When he sat her in a pretty ornate chair, she bit back a protest. She felt bereft and alone and cold without his arms around her, but she caught herself less she made a fool of herself. Though after a few moments her hands sought his as she quietly looked to those who were speaking. ~*~
Jay stood with his arms crossed near Anthony as he listened closely. He cast a quick glance at everyone their to assess their reactions to what was being said. What Voss was saying was fair to him. No one gets a free pass, no matter the association. Nothing worth having came free. He noted the solemn faces, the nods of agreement and understanding. They all listened closely to what their Alpha had to say. That word had Jay giving a half grin. Alpha,that was a term he hadnt used in a long time.
~*~
Bj stood on the other side of Anthony trying to follow the conversation but his mind kept wandering. A pack. Mike had wanted to be in one and the closest that they'd gotten was Benjamin's fucked up group. Nothing came easy for them and it seemed that the moment they had found something good and worthwhile it was swept away from them one way or another.Tears ran down his face as he silently cried. He would go in and out on the conversation as memories of Mike filled his head. He'd been so full of life only to have it snuffed out. His hands curled into fists and he dug his nails into his palms until they bled.
Shane stepped up and gently placed a hand on his shoulder and BJ slowly let out a breath he hadnt known he held as he released and relaxed his hands. The urge to wipe his face hit him but he didnt want to smear blood over his face and frighten Lottie.
He cleared his throat and spoke when Voss had finished. "So what exactly do the trials entail and what are they for beside weeding out the capable from the incapable? Are these trials tied to ranks of some sort?" He asked catching the last bit about making it hard to join their pack. He fought the lump that tried to form in his throat at the thought of what Mike had been so close to gaining when it was all snatched away from him.
Anthony caught the scent of blood and turned to look at BJ. The man was holding himself together or at least trying but he still worried about him.
"Yes the trials are in direct connection to the ranks. Trials would encompass a test that is created to simulate the actual duties of the jobs. If you pass then you are capable of the job and you could hold the rank if you chose to. If you failed then of course you incapable of bearing the duties and need to look elsewhere for your place in the pack.If you fail at absolutely everything,then say your good byes because this isnt the place for you." He said with a bit of a shrug.
"Well can we at least know what the ranks are?" Someone asked. Anthony nodded though hesitated before speaking,unsure if he would be offending Voss of he did so.
"As i just mentioned, the trials would be to see who fits where. The ranks are as follows." He said before he began to explain the ranks as they were explained to him.
"Dark wolves.They are highly recognized by the Alphas and well respected by the rest of the pack, even feared. They are third rank under the Betas and demand respect more to them than to their Alphas. Their loyalty and compassion to the Alphas though is without fail. When things go wrong, the Alphas or the Betas call on these wolves to help maintain the pack and keep it together. They are feared by the lower wolves and will take extreme measures to maintain the order of the pack. Think of them like the enforcers or the police. Their ways are mysterious and shadowed but their fighting spirit is unmatched. " He explained as he looked around to make sure that they all were listening and then he continued.
"Next you have the Shadowed wolves.Wolves such as these are under the Dark Wolves. They are the servants to the Dark Wolves and assist them in supporting the Alphas and providing for the pack. If they sense a disturbance in the pack, they report it to the higher-ups and wait for their next order. These well-determined wolves do, of course, envy the dark wolves yet still maintain their submision to their leaders.
"Then comes the Elder wolves. These wolves aren't really considered "of old age". This rank shows that they have been here and have done their hardest work to know everything about the pack. They are seen to the Alphas as responsible and are given more choices.
Then of course there's the Hunters. The name says it all. They can either gather food or service for the pack or track down the ones that appear threatening. They mostly introduce their recruits to the Alphas to see whether or not other wolves can be accepted. They also protect the pack by fighting off enemies or predators. If there are ones that are threatening the pack, they take on the role of "decoys" till the pack has found safety. Once the "coast is clear", they meet up with the pack hours later." Anthony said then paused in his explinations so that his words could sink in before he continued.
"Next there's the Delta wolves.The Deltas are the guardians of the higher ranks. They protect the Alphas, Betas, Dark Wolves, Shadowed Wolves, Elders and even themselves from dangerous situations. The pack admires these warriors because of the service they provide for the pack. They are fearless, dominant, and worthy of receiving admiration from the Alphas.
Up next are the Guardians. As their name implies, yes they are the guardian wolves. They protect the pack with their lives. If the pack is threatened and the Hunters and Scouters are indeed in danger, they take their place and fight for the safety of the pack. Unlike the Deltas (who protect the higher authorities), these wolves protect the rest of the pack.
"And of course you have your usual Adult Wolves,unless we have some females around that are expecting or if there are any children around." He said and inclined his head to Lottie.
"These are the wolves that usually reach their teenage years and are old enough to leave their pack to start a new one or stay where they currently are and help support the pack. This rank is the most to be noticed. And because of this, they are energetic and eager to earn the Alpha's attention. Moving past this rank depends upon their dedication and hard work.
"Then you have the Omegas. There are usualy two Omega wolves in the pack - one male and one female, similar to the Alphas but at the opposite end of the pack ranking system. The Omega pair have no authority in the pack except over pups (to support the Elders) and virtually no rights. Omega wolves do not partake in pack hunts, instead they remain at the dens and function as babysitters to the pack's pup litter, teaching these young wolves skills and providing advice for them that are given from the Alphas or Betas . Omega ranks simply means they are in the pack and this will test their loyalty and commitment.
Now you would think that there couldnt be anything lower than an omega, right? Well you'd be wrong. There is and its a rank called scavengers aka Scav's. They are the ones that clean up the mess of the hunts and they are at the very bottom of the totem pole. That rank is used as pnishment. Depending on the severity of the offense depends on the length of time you hold that rank and when your time is over you have to work to get your old rank back. It wont just be given to you for "time served", no a arank is a priveldge and something to be earned and respected." He said and looked at them all closely, even Foxxy.
He turned back to Voss and gave him a small smile. "Did I miss anything?" He asked. He could hear the soft whispers as they spoke of which ranks they'd fit into and wondered how to go about gaining that rank.
Jay raised a hand and cleared his throat."Sorry i dont mean to interrupt but when would the trials begin and when will it take effect?"
Anthony thought about it a moment though he felt he should keep quiet a moment and allow Voss a chance to speak and explain as it was his meeting.
~*~
Evera shifted uncomfortably and winced at the ensuing pain. Where the hell would she fit into all of this? She was know fighter. Despite the many checks that her mouth wrote her ass couldnt cash 'em. She was all talk full of hot air. She could talk shit all day but when it came to a physical confrontation, she made a quick escape. It was one of the many reasons she hated Kia. She was able to protect Foxxy when Evera wasnt able to. She knew that Kia could beat her ass in a fight , she wasnt stupid. That admission alone had her letting out a very frustrating sigh.
Maybe this wasnt the place for her. Foxxy didnt need her, she had yet another suitor it seems. Anthony was preoccupied as always and the way things sounded there was no way that she'd be able to earn any real ranking in this so called pack that they seemed to be trying to form. She gave a derisive snort and turned to walk outside. She might as well count her losses now and save herself the heartache and humiliation later. She cast one last look at Foxxy and her eyes turned sad. She quickly turned away and headed out of the cave.

Ka'ron would see her hand move for him, he would take it and gently kiss it from his kneeling position. He wanted only to be near her, he would take any title they gave him if it meant he could be close to her. He hold her hand in his under the table, he watched and listened to the words being spoken. But his main concern was that of Foxxy, he wanted to lean into her side and hold on to her. But he knew if he did it would draw attention, he would wait for any of that it was not time right now. He watched the whole table from the height of a wolf then he had a idea to ease the pain to his knees, as he stripped himself down he started to change leaving nothing but the wolf shaking out his fur before he sat. He would place his head in her lap so she could play with his fur to ease her sadness.
Kia would move to the table on the other side of Foxxy, for now she would have to speak for her she thought. So instead of hovering around the room she would stand there, her long hair braided all the way down with hoops at the end tied into it. She had a hard time not smiling on such a sad occasion, she did so biting her lip.
But watching Ka'ron hang all over Foxxy was making it hard to keep a straight face. She of course was sad but chose not to wallow in it, not right now any way. She hoped that eventually if Foxxy was able she could speak for her self, she knew it hurt but perhaps slowly using her voice would help. She didn't know but had hopes, though she did not mind speaking for her and enjoyed being able to talk to her in private around some people.
~*~
Voss remained silent as he let his Beta speak for him, he saw how the man grieved over the loss of some one closer then a friend to him. Not swinging that way did not meant he held any ill will towards the man or feared him, it meant he could understand him. Losing a loved one is losing a loved one no matter what preference. He started to think perhaps this meeting was only making the man more upset but he would not speak out on it and single him out. Hearing him finish and the remark he made made him smile and shake his head. " No you noted each rank as I had asked. " He turned his attention to Jay when he raised his hand speaking out a question. " Hmm lets see. Trails. Well since we are here we can speak about that. I thought soon as possible. Though for those that are not here and may join our pack later might be allowed a day to settle or seek shelter from what ever it might be. " Pausing for a moment to think further on his words he smiled a little.
" My daughter's trail is yet to come. And will happen soon. But your trail Jay will be up to Anthony that goes for every one else. To me you all have been through a enough right now for it to wait." But to be truthful he thought most of them had been through enough, but to favor one over the other would be wrong. " So if Anthony think you all have gone through enough it will be up to him to consider the battle we all were in is enough to say you stay. Or if you should have a trail of you own. I will leave that to him.
Lottie knew that her father would give every one else a trail, but when he mentioned her having a trail she was a little shocked. First off she thought she might return to her mother, but as she further thought about it made her think against it. She knew if she returned her brother and mother would never let her out of their sight again. She would be followed around constantly and if they had not be solely centered on something they would with her return.
She had no clue as to what her trail would be but by how her father had spoken it seemed that she would know soon enough. Her eyes flitted to Bj the man's blood was not lost on her, she thought that by that she could know his pain. One did not spill their own blood lightly, her father had said that to her. She did not understand completely what this meant, but she assumed if he was bleeding his emotional pain was great if it spilled forth in the way of blood.
~*~
La La would listen to the politicking going on with half a care, she knew she would be a lower rank and that she didn't mind at all. As long as she got to spill blood occasionally that was peachy keen to her. Seeing the bird ruffle though made her raise a brow watching her walk off, " Hmm." She moved off after her. She could get reprimanded later for all she cared.
Raider watched her leave but remained knowing he was there for lottie. La La was hot on her heels letting her just get out of sight before she grab her by the shoulder watching her grip so not to hurt her arm. " Why you leaving feathers? You don't have the balls to stay?" She looked as if her full package could pack a wallop if only she had a little more muscle on her. Maybe all birds were chicken shits, made her inwardly chuckle at the thought. She was not about let this mysterious one leave with out knowing her back story, she was often to curios like a cat and it often bit her in the ass. She doubted it would be that bad this time.

Foxxy would glance down at Ka'ron once at the gesture and sniffle as she tried to stop her tears from falling. She turned her attention back to Voss and Anthony yet she squeezed his hand lightly under the table,though she tried not to look at him as he began to move a lot though she wondered what he was doing. It didnt take long for her to realize that he had shifted. She felt the change in the air and she soon had his big wolf head in her lap. It was hard for her not to smile at least a little. She burried her hand in his fur enoying the feel of it and began to absently rub his ears.
She noted when Kia stood beside her and was glad to have her there. She was so used to having Kia around that she felt bare without her close. ~*~
Anthony noted the responsibility and merely nodded his head. "We can give it a weeks time before the trials actually start. That'll give us the chance to get things set up and handle the burial arrangements or what have you. I know that you guys are hurting , some more than others but you gotta keep pushing on otherwise their sacrifices would have been for naught. They fought hard so that we can have a better life to live, to build a family." He said looking at the greiving faces.
"You all know for a fact that they would kick your asses if they saw ya'll crying like babes on their behalf." He said and chose his next word carefully.
"You'll only have that time frame to come to terms with their deaths anything after that will not be tolerated. It is fine to mourn in private, i know it takes more than a week to grieve and sometime one never truly get over a loss. But as was mentioned earlier you cant wallow in it forever. So take this time, this reprieve, because afterwards the hard work of building this pack begins. After the meeting is over and you have a rank that you are interested in just let Voss and I know so that we can plan out your trials accordingly." He said.
Foxxy looked at him as if he had said the most hurtful thing there was but it had to be said. These were not babes, most were criminals in some fashion or another but most of all they were grown ass men and would not be coddled.
Foxxy couldnt believe the way Anthony had just spoke to them, especially BJ. She cast him a look and saw that he wore a grim expression but looked to Anthony and shared a nod with him. What was that all about? How was he ok with what he just said? She was a bit bewildered but she kept her hand in Ka'ron's fur. A thought occured to her and she looked up and signed. "What about me?What is my trial?" She asked with a worried expression. She was not strong like the others and wondered what would be her lot in all this.
~*~
Evera flinch and igored the sensation she felt at her touch. That merely frustrated her more. " What the hell do you care? Last time i checked my shit didnt hang." She snapped despite the gittery feeling the woman envoked or the fact that she could probably beat her ass blind folded and with one hand tied behind her back . "You dont know me so dont try and act like you do. Go back to your little meeting and stop following me ,its creepy and very much stalkerish." She said and walked off.
"oh and whatever that bitch Kia told you its not true, that homewrecking hussy will do anything to make herself look better to others." She said derisively and spitefully over her shoulder as she adjusted her sling. She flinched at the pain and wished that it would heal already so that she could far away from there. She was invisible anyway so she might as well make herself scarce.

His large wolf head pushed into her more enjoying the petting and rubbing of his ears, he didn't like how she was feeling. Though he did notice that him being there was a small help, but what he noticed more was that Kia being by her settled her greatly. He wondered the connection they had, he knew that could make each other blush easily.
He wondered if Foxxy had feelings for Kia in a manner more then just a friend, it would not be the first time he had witnessed such things. This only made him curious about it more, but then his thoughts changed to Antonio and where he might be. He had not seen him in a hot minute, he felt like he would barge in here at any moment.
This seemed a idiot thing to worry about when every one was grieving, but he did not want to make the mood more upset with Antonio trying to fight him. His large tongue would lick at her arm trying to sooth her and his own thoughts. Kia was surprised that Foxxy was not fully on crying at the moment this made her muster a smile, even as her eyes looked tired.
Her hand was placed along the back of the chair as her hand gently followed the etchings, it seemed that the chair was built with Foxxy in mind. This made her smile more as her eyes followed the story that held with in it. She wondered what Anthony's looked like, she would have to check them out later as she turned her attention back to the meeting. Catching a glimpse of the people in the room briefly.
~*~
Voss would lean back in his chair thinking the time frame was a good amount, he before had not cared about his underlings to let them grieve. And that had lost him a few with out a battle though now that he had time to reflect, the feeling of loss he knew that it would take Bj far longer then the rest to even come to terms with the loss.
In which he felt deeply sorry for his loss, when he had been separated from Katie it felt like she had died. He did not want to know what death would do to him, so he refused to think she was that kind of gone. " That sounds like a good time frame before we all must wear a mask to keep the rest in good hopes." He paused thinking what he wanted to say with out insulting her if he hadn't already.
" As we mourn loss so do others, and pillars some of us must become for the whole to hold up their spirits." He would shift a little in the chair leaning on the arm, He noticed the one they had brought out was leaving and he raised a brow. He was slightly relieved at La La following her, he turned his attention to Foxxy after hearing Kia speak for her. " You are sitting in the Doctor's or Healers chair. Does this field require battle?" He asked, he didn't mean to make her feel dumb or anything but usually when one stated the obvious the picture as a whole would come into focus. He knew she was very bright, but turmoil and death can block ones thoughts. " If you prefer another position all you need but ask." He wondered if in truth she no longer wanted to be a healer.
~*~
La La listened to her as she snapped at her, it only made her smile more. " Well the bird actually bites. I didn't know they had teeth. " but as she walked away something jumped inside her a warning, but it sank quickly when she spoke about Kia which only made her raise a brow. She would move after her getting in her way before she could leave the cave mouth. " You know I could give two fucks what any one has to say about anyone. That includes Kia. She just fun to watch beat the living shit out of other people. So what as your craw up about her? She wiggling in between you and the foxxy chick or what? "
She knew that they had something up and Ka'ron was what Foxxy thought about all the time. " But hey you don't have to tell me shit, and word of wise I tend to not listen well either. I am more of a person who acts before I think. Seems we have something in common. " She would move around the bird slowly. " oh and another spot of info, If your making a be line out of here make sure its faster then a crow can fly. Snipers all around here. And none of our guards have been told about you. So flying the coup.." She leaned in real close and whispered in her ear. " It might be your last. " She walked slowly away from her.
" Of course if you had a escort like me well then you would be fine, But me following you is creepy right? Go on now little bird fly from the nest. " She would lean against the wall and smiled slightly manic" Will see how your blood paints the damn sand." The anger boiled in her for a short moment, but for some reason she forced it down. If Kia had snapped at her like that she would of forced a fist down her throat and ripped out women bits from the inside. The bird was all in history to ever speak to her in such a manner with out death concluding as the result. " Or I can escort you around and you can bitch about Kia some more. You seem like you need to let off some steam" The manic smile was gone and she actually seemed censer about listening.

Evera could literally feel her feathers ruffle as she blushed lightly at the woman's comment. "We dont but a sharp strong beak and razor sharp claws are just as good and handy." She said and rolled her eyes.She was hurt in more ways than one and the last thing she wanted right now was to be irritated by some strange woman who had nothing better to do than to aggrivate the hell out of her.
When Lala blcked her path Evera came up short and was frustrated to the point of tears. She had only her tough facade to fall back on when her emotional turmoil was too much for her to deal with. But this... this .... Evera gave a frustrated growl and glared at her. When she spoke of Kia such hatred flickered in her gazed before they hardened."She's a homewrecking Bitch who thinks everyone should fawn over her. She tries to act all innocent and shit in front of everybody but I see the coniving bitch for who she is." She spat. She didnt care about the fact that the majority of what she had just said was actually a lie and that she didnt know Kia at all. But just thinking about how close she had grown to Foxxy and how Foxxy seemed to prefer Kia over her, it ate at the very core of her being.
She looked away from Lala and told yet another blatant lie,well more like a half truth. "There's nothing between me and the Fox. We're just friends,old friends." She said but couldnt keep the bite of sadness from her voice and blamed it on the death of so many people that was part of her fucked up "family".
She looked at the woman, really looked at her and found her gaze tracing the lines of her lips, the curve of her jaw, and finally her exotic eyes that seemed to pull her in and hold her. When she realized she'd been staring she frowned deeply and scowled. Her eyes tracked Lala as she walked around her making Evera feel as if she were being examined and she couldnt help the light blush that she tried to hide. The "something in common comment had her scoffing in a very unlady-like fashion. She very much doubted she had anything in common with this hardened woman.
Evera looked out in the distance in the direction she had been going and stiffened. She absently rubbed her arm and felt tears well up in her eyes. Flying. That waas the most freeing thing that she had ever been granted and now it would seem as though it had been taking away from her. She was taken out of her thoughts when she felt Lala's warm body close to her and felt her breath tickle her ear. Out of nowhere came the urge to lean back into her and have her arms wrapped around her protectively;to rest her head in the crook of her neck and forget about all the bullshit.
She grew warm from the inside out and heat pooled in a more intimate place and it caused her to shift from one foot to the next. She closed her eyes and laughed at herself derisively. She was a lonely and pathetic peice of shit. It was no wonder Foxxy gave her no time. She was needy and a sad charity case. She thought of ignoring the woman's warning and just walk on any way. If they killed her, she wouldnt be even missed.
When Lala moved awa from her she started to protest before harshly biting her tongue. She felt cold without her close and that was just stupid. She didnt even knew this chick and she seemed to be playing mind games if her smile was anything to go by. Evera looked up at the sky and closed her eyes and tears fell from the corners of them. Why? Just Why? She was so confused and upset it was like a whirlwind of flames and ice.
She angrily wiped away her tears and turned to Lala. "Fine, come on then. Not like you werent anyway, you have stalker written all over you." She said in a snarky tone angry that the woman's words seemed to have hurt more than anything else and Evera didnt like it. "Besides, Kia aint that important to be taking up more space in my mind than the bit that she was allowed. I got it out and its over with. " She said and shrugged. She knew it was a bold faced lie.
~*~
Foxxy blushed deeply at Voss's repsonse. She hadnt thought much about where she had been sitting. She figured it was simply another seat. She had been so wrapped up in her feelings and trying to burrow in someone's arms she hadnt taken any kind of time to consider the placement of the seats and their significance. She looked away from Voss,face red as a tomato as she answered him . "No it does not ,as far as i know. The position of healer is fine." She signed and placed her hand neatly in her lap thoroughly embarrassed. She would remain quiet for the remainder of the meeting too embarassed to sa y much of anything else.
She looked to Ka'ron where his head rested on her lap. She frowned and and just stared blankly absently rubbing him. Her mind tried to turn to Mike, Terrell, T, Fredrick and the others and tears began to well up in her eyes. She bit the inside of her cheek and tried not to cry as she forced her mind to something, anything else. She didnt know what to do with herself but she figured if she stayed quiet and still they'd forget that she was there.
Anthony glanced at her and sighed but he would allow her to stew a bit. He hoped that being in a pack and having some stability would be the thing to make her more confident and sure of herself and not hide away at the first sign of trouble be it verbal or physical. "Does anyone else have any questioins or concerns?" He asked looking at them all.
"I actually have a few questions. What will we do about housing and other resources? What are we to do to bring in income? Does this mean we have to go the straight and narrow now?" Shane asked curiously and it would seem as if the others were just as curious and had the same question but didnt ask. Anthony looked from Lottie to Voss and thought on what was asked.
He couldnt answer those particular questions because he honestly didnt know how that was all arranged. He thought about Sia and Sammy and their ties and association with them. Not to mention their dealings in illegal activities. He figured Voss didnt want to have those dealings too close to home.
~*~
With blood dripping from his hands,cuts ,and bruises all over his face and chest,Antwan walked towards the caves where the meeting was held. He wore a gold cross with white gold angel wings and white gold cloth draped over the arms of the cross, on a thin chain. It was T's. He was an Asian bengal and there was no missing it if you ever met him. His tiger was apparant in every aspect of who he was, there was no seperating the two.The was the last thing he had of his family. Benjamin had forced T. to join them about twenty years ago. T's family owned a weapons store as well as a fabric shop and they had refused to bend to Benjamin and his crock pot demands. Antwan could feel the memories begin to surface unbidden.
They had been young and when ordered to, Antwan and his brothers had robbed the place clean.They had scoped out the placed and brought every person in the store out front and tied them up. T had been among them and very defiant. Benjamin gave them one more chance to join him. When they still refused, he began killing them one by one, executioner style. Not once did any of them make as sound as they met their end but as soon as Benjamin got to the little girl that was beside him and he began growling.
"Oh it looks like the kitty dont like that." Benjamin said and chuckled as he force the child to her feet and ordered Antwan to hold him where he was. T' began to snarl and struggle against his restraints as Benjamin caressed the girls cheek. "What is she i wonder. She smell like a mixed blood.Who is she your sister?" He said as he examined the child and then looked back to a partially shifted T. and the fury on his face is unmistakeable.
"Non non, she is something much more. This darling Gem is your daughter. Isnt she?" He asked and shifted his nails to claws and lightly scraped it aacross her cheek. "Twould be a pity to let her go to waste. I just might keep her as a pet. T roared and struggled even more against his hold and was beginning to be a bit more than Antwan was bale to handle.
When Benjamin sighed he cocked the gun and placed it to the girls head. "You can save her mon amie." He said as his french accent began to slide in a bit. "You need only swear your allegiance and all will be well."He looked around the room and chuckled. "We almost anyway. You have quite a bit of a mess to clean. So, will you join me?" He asked in an almost bored tone. T snarled and Benjamin growled in frustration. I thought you wanted to save her life? You are surely sending mixed signals." He said as he gripped her hair tightly causing her to yelp.
"Lian!" He called to her and moved as if he were going to leap at Benjamin. Antonio came and hit him hard in the temple causing T to fall hard on the floor.
"Papa!" Lian cried out as she watched her father fall. "Please stop!" She cried and struggled against Benjamin's hold. He grabbed her by the nape of her neck and growled. "Shut the fuck up and keep still." Immediately she went stock still and deadly quiet. She looked to her father and silently prayed for him to get up. He groaned but didnt open his eyes.
"Qí quèdìng lián, bùyào kū. Yīqiè dūhuì hǎo qǐlái, nǐ bùyòng shòukǔle. Yào zài nǐ de chuán qiú hépíng.Wǒ hěn kuài jiù huì jiārù nǐ. Gāozhěnwúyōu." (its ok Lian, do not cry. All will be well and you need not suffer anymore. Be at peace in your passing. i will join you soon. Rest easy.) He said before crying out in pain when Antonio dug the butt or the riffle in the middle of his back.
Lian watched silently and nodded her head. She closed her eyes and began to sing the lullaby her mother always sing to her and now she sung for them all. She would not see them as they are now but as they were before. Humming the song tears ran down her face as she braced herself to meet her end. Benjamin looked at her and simply listened it was when T began to hum along with her that he let made the shot.
T cried and it was the first time that Antwan felt remorse for what he had done. He looked over expecting to find the little girl lying in a pool of her own blood and was surprised to see her out cold. Who the hell had he shot? His question was soon answered when he saw one of his men on the ground, blood pooling around him. Benjamin merely shrugged. "Keep him alive he comes with us."
He turned back to T and saw that antonio was in the process of hoisting him up. The man dangling like a sack of patatoes. He wondered what Banjamin had planned for the girl but the look on his face told him to back off and that's what he did. After a few years of T trying to kill him and his brothers at every turn He and Antwan had become very close friends.
Antwan growled and shook his head trying to make the memory go away.He looked at his hands and watched as the blood dripped. Blood couldnt have made them closer and he would always be considered as such.Sighing he continued his walk to the caves hoping the damn meeting would be over by the time he got there.

La La would laugh lightly hearing her speak about how she should come anyway. Every thing she said with heat and and bitterness behind it made her raise a brow. " Look if you want to lie to your self be my guest. " She said referring to the Fox. When she had mentioned Kia being a home wrecker only made her shrug. " Eh, haven't really witnessed any of that. You would have to fill me in on the home wrecking she has done." As far as she could tell Foxxy had her eyes on Ka'ron and that Kia and her had some sort of special connection. Not to mention Kia was head over hills for Anthony.
" Wait, is Anthony yours or something? I mean I could understand that. But you didn't seem like a sausage chaser to me. " She would smile a little. " The only option left is her getting in the way of you and the fox. " Chuckling at the woman's further attempt to hide it. " I mean if you want to forget it all I can snag Ghost me you and him can go get fucked up on booze. I am sure he has anything you want. " Enough poking the bear as it were, she was more then happy to get messed up and let her talk shit some more or just be silent. But she could tell being in there regardless of what was being said, that it hurt to much for her to stay.
" Or we can just walk around and say nothing to each other" La La was not one for the sappy shit, normally she steered away from it. But Antwan had made her want more, but seeing she was not going to get it from him she was left back were she had started. More confused then ever, now she was hanging with this bird. She figured bout the fifth bottle in she be spilling her guts like normal, and possible sobbing about something in her past.
~*~
Voss would chuckle lightly at the color she turned, he leaned back in the chair a little before speaking" Young Miss though the shade is very beautiful on you no need to feel embarrassed. I am sure Anthony will have something for you to prove your self to the group. Though if any one needs training in fighting we have a gym and plenty of sparing partners. " When Anthony asked if any one else had questions and a man he met briefly he would chuckle seeing that Anthony could not answer them he would elaborate. " I have business's every where. I had a offer from Sia to sell to her business. That is one of our little bit of action, then there is the pit which is basically a fighting ring. " He shifted in his chair thinking a moment. " Ghost sells a assortment of goodies that helps relax or perk you up. He is sort of a jack of all trade. " He looked around for Antonio again and not seeing him would narrow his eyes a little as if in thought.
" Antonio had been running the pit. But I am sure he can use a few others to help bounce the place. Though not seeing him lately has me worried both for him and my business i had given him. " He looked to his daughter. She sat talking to Raider who seemed to be distracting her best he could. " No business shall touch home. You have a issue with something its settled else where. If you need a itch that needs scratching ...again do it else where. This is not a crash pad. Or a flop house. "
Thinking back to Sia he would smile " Speaking of Sia I need some one to drop off Pi for me. Since all things are in order now. And to answer the straight and narrow, I do not think I could make money that way. Though I did want to have the home fueled more through hunting then buying like a human. But i doubt that going straight to self sufficient right away would do any one very good considering i chose the desert as my place of home" He would scratch at his face a little.
" Not to mention i want to expand the land we hold. That means recruitment of more people, considering I had a great loss before our combined great loss. Another pack's member had come in and stole some one from me." He would shake his head. " So that is another thing we have to worry about. So we need to fill the positions of protection and policing soon. " He could not think better a place for them all to live but here they more then enough space. " The main cave mouth leads into the homing area for my men. I know that you all are used to houses and such. So you can choose where you live. I know that Kia has her choices of staying here or in her house. Which I am sure their could be a few more houses built around there if it more suited any one and it was ok with her." He did not know what they wanted in housing.
Ka'ron licked at her face when she looked sad letting out a little whine not wanting her to be sad. He knew that she would not forget any one so soon, he just never liked seeing her upset. He had saw the look Anthony had given her, wondering why she had been embarrassed. He knew she just had her mind else where when she asked the questioned and thought she should be more involved since she was a large part of the pack. Kia wondered what else was going to be discussed, and why Lottie was in the meeting since Raider seemed to be distracting her. Ka'ron laid his head back down into her lap again staring up at her, his thoughts went to wanting to comfort her tell her everything was going to be ok and that even though they had been close only a short time that he loved her.
Kia had been taken aback by Anthony about being his mate, she was still dealing with that idea. She had not refused him of course but she had never thought that he would ask her or make mention of it. Now things had happen she had not had time to think further on it, now she had only time since she only spoke a little for Foxxy. And it seemed that foxxy was trying to be invisible again, which she thought she should not do.

Evera blushed as she glared at Lala before turning in a huff,Her white hair falling down her back. Ordinarily she'd have it braided or tied up but she couldnt do much with only one arm. It was frustrating to say the least. Of she wouldnt see it, with how close the two of them had grown you'd never thought that Kia's very presence had brought Foxxy to tears on a nightly basis. Or that she felt inadequate and worthless in comparison to the native woman. Or that she had felt humiliated that the woman her "mate" had brought to fuck was ordered to protect her. Of course she wouldnt see those things, she'd have had to have been there to witness it. It's one of the many reasons she'd hated Kia.
She gave Lala an affronted look. "Fuck no. " Before she said more she listened to the rest of Lala's words and tried not to laugh at her. What did she look like then? Just as quickly as it came, her happy mood was dashed with ice cold water and she frowned. It would be so easy to talk to this woman. She had no one to talk to, no one to lean on when she needed them the most. The closest thing to that she had was Foxxy but who did she turn to when she needed to talk about how she felt about Foxxy? The only other person was Antwan and he wasnt the best at the touchy feely type stuf unless it was in relation to sex.
The idea of getting wasted and just relaxing sounded fun and oddly she had the feeling that this strange, nosey, irritating ass woman would definietly bring the fun. "I'll take the drinks, thank you." She stated. If they were to simply walk the silence would be heavy and uncomfortable might as well get drunk and have a bit of fun. "What's your name anyway?" She asked unsure if she had even given it.
~*~
Foxxy looked up at Voss with sad eyes and gave him a small smile. She wasnt one to really take compliments well and as per usual she blushed even deep and began to play with Ka'ron's eyes a bit more to keep her hands moving. She nodded at him then looked to Anthony who lifted a brow at her. He wasnt too kenn on her doing anything exstrenuous but if she really wanted to do it though then he would work something out for her.
She looked at Ka'ron and grinned at him. She kissed the top of his nose and rested her forehead on his as she simply breathed him in for a second before straightening up.
At the mention of his brother he sighed. He hadn't seen much hide nor hair of him since their "talk". Though he'd asked Falcon to keep an eye on him and make sure that he didnt do anything stupid. Anthony nodded as Voss spoke. He agreed. This was supposed to be a clean start where families could possibly grow so it had to be a place suitable for children. It didnt need to be dirtied by outside dealings. He would speak on the contacts that Benjamin once had an dsee if he could get them on the ban wagon. He had people from an assortment of occupations and backgrounds.
At the mention of Sia, Anthony thought of Alexander and the pups and wondered if they had made it somewhere safe. He wondered what would become of them but soon he dismissed the thought seeing as how they were really of no concern to him.
Jay chuckled as Voss mentioned the living arrangements. "No worries bossman, we aint no pansies our back sides and the ground are well acquainted." He said with a chuckle in a throwback southern drawl.They were in no position to be picky.
"Yea Bossman, We know starting out is gonna be rough its to be expected. Give us something to do. I dont mind buil'in houses and such. In fact I know some guys that can help with that. Just say when and we can get something set up." Deidre said in a voice soft as silk but held a strange accent that no one could place.
"Alright was there anymore questions?" He asked and when no one spoke he turned to Voss and spoke. " Was there anything eles on the agenda for the meeting ?" He asked. He glanced up and looked at Kia. He still waited on her answer and it looked as if he would still be waiting until everything was settled and smoothed out. He could still remember her expression on her face when he had spoke to her about being his partner in more ways than one. It had been decades since his last relationship and as much as he wanted to ignore the urging of the others to go find a nice girl he'd ended thinking that it was about time to find someone that'll make him happy.
~~
Sia was looking over her new girls and boys. They all stood in one long row in front of her desk where Kori and Mateo sat. Sia would run her hands all over their bodies, touching them in the most inappropriate of ways looking for an opposing reaction from them. She had paid a good pocket of change for this group of skin and she would be pissed if they were worth a penny. Mateo as always , looked very annoyed and irritated while Kori looked turned on.
There were a few that failed but the rest looked to be worth the pay. She sighed and threw her hand up and waved them off. "Kori, separate those i want from those I dont. You can do want you want with the rejects. Just dont get too messy." With those words there was such a mixture of reactions that it was almost comical and she had a hard time not smiling.
Kori growled in anticipation and gave them all an evil smile. "Well you heard the Madam, come and I will get you all settled in your perspective places." She said laughing though it lacked humor and those who had failed inspection were full of fear not knowing what to expect. One looked back at Sia as Kori was herding them away and Mateo bared his fangs at him. Kori pushed him out the door and gave Mateo a two finger salute before closing the door.
"You do know that she is going to kill them right right?" Mateo said softly as he sidled up behind Sia and caressed her body and trailing kisses down her neck. She tilted her head to the side and bit her lip when he touched her sensitive nape. It was a soft caress that had her closing her eyes.
"Well they are her toys to play with, though I must admit that she is a bit too rough with her toys sometimes" She said distractedly.
"M'lady, I mean that it is a waste of money for you to let her simply kill them. The least you can do is try to sell them and get some of your money back." He whispered in her ear before gently nibbling on it. He held her with one arm across her breast as he gripped her chin and turned her head the other way and at an angle before biting down. His other hand trailed from her breast to her stomach and lower still. She tried to buck and he growled and applied more pressure on his bite causing her to gasp before cried out. She writhed in his arms as pleasure spread through.
"Mateo..." She said in a harsh whisper.
"Yes m'lady?" He asked in an innocent voice that held the hint of a smile in it.
"I need to call Voss." She said and Mateo stiffened. He couldnt stop the snarl that escaped from his lips.
"What?" He said low. Sia sighed as she stepped away from him before turning to face him. She tried to cup his face and he tried to snatch away from her but she hissed and gripped his chin hard.
"Dont not forget your place my dear pet. This is business and nobody will get in the way of that. Besides," She said and gentled her grip as she gave him a smile. "It's about time we go pick up Pi. All of the paperwork should be in order by now." Mateo blushed and looked away. Sia knew he had a soft spot for the girl the reason behind it was beyond her. It wasnt sexual, no, her keen nose would have caught that scent immediately. It was something else. Whatever it was Sia that it was adorable. At least with Mateo around she wouldnt have to worry about anyone bothering her although Pi did seem to have a guard of her own and Sia wondered if he came with the package.
"There you go, blush for mama." Sia said and pressed her body against his and grabbed his ass pulling him closer. "Dont be that way,Teo. You already know what the deal is." She said and caressed his back. When he still looked away she sighed and turned to go back to her desk.
"Fine,pout. But we're doing business with Voss if he's still willing to do it. More pets plus more business equals more money. That's one of my favorite equations." She said and went to pick up her phone and call Voss when Mateo closed the distance and grabbed her wrist before yanking her to him.
They said nothing else as they fed each others desires and pushing the other to the edge and the fell together.
~*~
Mateo was in his shifted form and laid at her feet. Sia was excited to finally have Pi stay with her. She had a suit of rooms to herself and she even had an "art" room with every sort of art hobby you could think of though Sia knew she like music and had a little area set up just for music. She had her own room and bathroom and even had a small library. It was really more of an apartment than a suite though depending on who you spoke with the two were interchangeable.
There was no hiding her excitement as the phone rang as she called Voss. Pi was different from the girls that she employed and if Sia had anything to do with it, she would never be like them. It was weird, and unexpected, but she felt her mothering instincts pique when she first saw Pi and fell in love with her. She was a sweet girl and Sia felt she had a very bright future and she would help her do what ever she wanted.
She gave a nervous laugh and Mateo lifted his head. It was a strange feeling for Sia. She thrummed her nails on the desk as she waited for Voss to pick up.

(If you see anything missing let me know. )
La La would smile watching the huffy bird, she would slide up next to her putting her arm around her and lean in. Her smile seemed a little evil" Good Cause it would be a shame if your cute ass go to waste chasing after something you cant have. " Moving away from her she would poke her nose." Come feathers lets get wasted." She shoved her hands in her pockets as she strolled out into the center of the canyon the sound of a small radio playing in the shade of a very large rock.
" Oh by the way take nothing he says personal. He loves to joke around. " She wanted to know more about her and if that meant listening to her grudge, well she would listen. Hearing her ask about her name she would stop and look at her. " They call me La La were ever I go. Been a pet name for a while now. Makes me seem more approachable. " She laughed loudly before waving her arms" But the shocker is any one who knows me knows that I'm a bitch on wheels" She would start backing up more. " My real name is Laura Lana Edison. Hence La La for short. My dad wa..." She would shake her head and smile." Save that for another time I want to hear more about you feathers."
Ghost was working on his bike under the shade of the rock as he listened to ac/dc track song back in black. His leather jacket hung over the handle bars and his wife beater off. His skinny torso looked lean, he sat bobbing his head a cooler sat not far from him as he did a little air guitar impression. Leaving La La to smile," Hey shit head where is the booze." With out missing a beat he shot back as he pulled out a joint. " I bet if it was up your snatch you would know it." Lighting it he would go back to his bike after pointing to the cooler and the brown bag by it.
La La turned down the racket and he looked at her as if he was mad, but said nothing as she opened the brown bag pulling out a few bottles and flipping the cooler open to snag a soda. Crashing to the ground she laughed hitting the cooler." have a seat feathers." Tossing a pop to Ghost she would relax on the ground, he would pop it open and take his Jack and take a large swig of it before guzzling the coke. He would make a AHHH noise before tossing the can. The song faded going into another Thunderstruck, La La smiled sipping on either drink. She was not in the mood to get to wasted to fast unless some one challenged her. Ghost started to sing along making La La only laugh all most blowing pop out her nose. " Asshole" He laughed tossing her a package of cups. She would open them and start to fill up the with pop before she would dash some drink in it holding up for Feathers.
La La would then start to fill up her cup, ghost would watch her set the cup between her legs before she would chug a little of the jim bean straight. Setting it aside as Highway to hell came on she would start to air drum, " Having a rough day ghost?" He merely nodded. Usually he didn'tsmoke his own sell profit. But today seemed like one of those days.
~*~
Voss would lean back listening to Deidre for a moment his fingers gently playing with his chin. " Again if that is what Kia wishes." He would look to her and she suddenly felt like she was the center of attention and was not feel it. " I uh.." She looked to Anthony" That would be up to me and Anthony it is his home as much as it is mine" She said softly a flush coming to her face. She had not had a chance to tell him it was a yes. Feeling very stupid she would look down at her hands. " I am ok with it as long as its not to close to the house. I prefer my privacy. " In truth she did not want any one building anything on her mother and fathers land. But they were considered family now and she would not turn them away.
" I was wondering about the Beta positions. Are they separate or together?" Kia said softly and then looked down at her hands again. Voss would look to Anthony and smile." That is up to my second in command. If he finds that he needs some one else to trust other then his mate then I fully trust him to make that choice. "Kia would merely nod her head not looking at anyone. Voss would stand up placing his hands on the table.
"Other then that this will conclude the meeting. If any one thinks of anything else they want to talk about. Put in to Anthony he will speak with me and we will scheduled a emergency meeting. And it better be better then whats for dinner. Actually think about things before asking for a meeting. And if you feel it does not warrente a meeting and its merely a simple question ask myself or Anthony. Till then find a place to crash for tonight in the main cave. You can not miss it. " Raider would smile to Lottie who rised to leave, but seeing that he was going no where she would sit back down. Voss would adjust his tie" I need to speak with you though Anthony if you do not mind "
He would hear his phone go off holding up a finger he would take it out of his pocket and answer it straight forward. " Voss's Gift shop and Trinkets. How may I help you?"He said with a smile knowing it was Sia. Since only her had his phone number other then his men, and unless some one was Dying or some one was invading they would not dare to call. Lottie would look between her father and raider wonder what was going on. Raider only smiled to her as he kept a eye on his surroundings. He would then look back to Lottie for a moment. " It is about your trail I think" She would seem more nervous, again she never though her father would make her do anything to stay. But she could understand why even though she had no idea what it would be.
