((After Tic Tac Toe. Lupita only.)) If apologizing was the courageous thing to do, Thea was a coward. It's been a week since she's been kicked out of the Guild. Did she miss it? No. Hearing freaking people complain about her family was old. Just looking at her father set a murderous glint into her eyes. She didn't like how Kenneth made her feel - all butterflies and awkwardness while at the same time feeling jealous for menial things. Like how he picked Lena up after she promptly passed out. He just did it to tick her off. For no reason, might she add. What made her really aggitated, though, was how much of a jerk she felt after leaving the Guild. Of course, she did feel as if she needed to as Lena put it "save the world". Selena was right about the "world" part. Her world was her mother. It was Nathaniel. It was her siblings - all five of them. It was her persona responsibility to protect them, as Simon had tried to do before he died. (Though whatever he was trying to protect them from is still a complete mystery to her.) No one else's. But her world also had Selena. (She absolutely refused to think of Kenneth as her world. Could you blame her, though?) As much as she hated to admit it, she felt grip ripping her insides as her rage against Jackson was replaced that night. She tried to call with her cracked phone. But her finger never pressed that green button. Then she tried to call Kenneth. A few seconds later his name was like a red flag in front of a bull, and it took all her might not to chuck it at a wall; the babes were sleeping, so she couldn't wake them up. She had no way of getting to the Guild without calling either of them. Thankfully she hadn't seen an assassin try to mutilate her family. But maybe they were jsut sitting there, and waiting for Andy to drop his guard. For the Outsiders at the New Dawn to. Even so, she wasn't going to take any chances. It was in the middle of broad daylight. The text had been sent to Selena's phone, telling her to go to a restaurant some ways in the Deadlands - the restaurant had no special meaning, because it was just a place for the package to be delivered there. To be honest, the package wasn't special to her either. Thea hoped that it was special to Selena, because it was a ... book. Shoot, Thea didn't know what exactly it was. Something to do with magic, and although her mother's mother's mother's side of the family consisted of witches, Thea didn't know what any of it meant. She prefered her mother's mother's father's side of the family. On the inside of the hardbook cover, Selena could have easily read in Thea's quick scrawl: Sh*t to me. Sense to you. Hopefully. Happy reading. -Thea It might have been a tad insensitive, but Thea wasn't the type to be sentimental. She wasn't crawling on her hands and knees for forgiveness and acceptance back into a place that hated her in the first place. She wanted Selena to not be mad at her. She was all that mattered. Again, even if she didn't touch the Mark during that week - let alone break it to separate herself from Kenneth, she wasn't thinking about him at this time. Dang man thinking that she was seeing Jackson even though he knows how much she hates people.

Selena was still hurt. She was not interested in anyone coming to see her. Kenneth had been spending all his time in the gym lately and Lena had buried herself in work. It had been more than 3 days since Lena warned Thea she had to come back. She had had to make an announcement on the 5th day.
Thea has left the Guild and I don't know when or if she is coming back.
Thea also recently changed her name and unfortunately that makes the Treaty null and void.
Now, I understand that with the Treaty broken many of you are going to try to go after that family. I only ask you do it during your time off and don't get caught. You get caught by guards, you never knew the Guild and were never a part of it.
Thank you for your cooperation
Selena Everett-Warren
Since then she had been noticing assassins and trackers and scouts coming and going from the main house at all hours of the night.
Lena's phone chimed and she picked it up to find a text from Thea. She texted back straight away.
"I'll go if you are there. Promise me or I'm staying put." Lena replied. "I'll meet you there. 10 minutes from now."
Lena grabbed her phone and leather jacket. She slipped down the stairs and jumped on her Harley Davidson. She rode down to the restaurant and was handed a package when she said her name.
It was a book, an old spell book from Thea. Lena had a couple of spell books and this one would also come in handy. She did smile at her cousin's thoughtfulness and knew deep down that this was her cousin's way of saying sorry and trying to help. Lena prayed her cousin would turn up to prove her right.

Thea liked to be the type of person to see things done. So, she was there all right. She just didn't have the desire to talk to Selena. Or, she did - she didn't do anything to hide her features as she sat with Iggy and her mate (whom she called "Fancy Pants"). She had herself facing the door, watching as her second companion handed Selena the package.
She smirked, amused at Selena's reaction. But she couldn't help it when she rubbed her still angry-red arm. It had taken a bit to heal - longer than it should have - considering she refused Selena's help. Thea had wondered why. Surely it wasn't becaues Selena's wound-inflicting was simply because of magic. Even so, it finally healed. Which was good because she didn't like how she was hindered to using one arm.
As planned, Fancy Pants turned toward the bathrooms on the opposite side of where Thea and Iggy were. So that Selena didn't follow him back to the table.
Selena wasn't stupid though.
"I'm ready to go," Iggy mumbled, slowly twirling her straw around her glass of soda. Her other hand was resting under her chin, propping her up in a bored manner.
"We haven't even gotten our food yet," Thea replied, smirking. She knew the reason why Iggy really wanted to leave. "And don't say that you're not hungry anymore. 'Cause that is a total lie."
Iggy smiled then, reluctantly. A few seconds later, she laughed. "Oh, babe, you know me so well!"

Lena took in a deep breath and she could sense her cousin. Lena held on to the book and walked over to where her cousin was. Her magic scouting out the place and telling her where to go.
"Thanks for the book. What I am now doesn't come with an instruction manual." Lena said as she slid across from her cousin. "When are you coming home? You know you need to sign a new treaty." Lena sighed.
Lena smiled at Iggy and knew she scared the shit out of her but then she had killed more people than she could count. Lena shrugged it off. She killed get over it.

Iggy wasn't scared. The one person that vave off any scary vibes was her best friend. So if she wasn't scared of Thea, she definitely wouldn't bat an eyelash at Selena.
Iggy just hated her. Thea might have forgiven Selena for leaving her, but Iggy was the one to watch Thea break down from her PTSD or anger management issues. She hung out with her until Selena came back. Shared the same bed. But then everything changed. Because of it, she'd rather see Selena die in a hole than eat lunch with her.
Fancy Pants slid into the booth shortly after he came out of the bathroom. At the sight of Selena sitting beside Selena, he rolled his eyes. So much for that, the thought crossed his mind, then relaxed against the vinyl of the seat. The comfortable weight of her head on his shoulder relaxed him. If she hadn't, maybe he would have left with Iggy, leaving Thea here to do whatever with Selena.
"Home," Thea mused, drawing on the condensation that was on the cup in front of her. Funny, the Guild didn't feel like home. And could anyone blame her? Home was supposed to be a sanctuary. Full of peace and good vibes. Just recently, she got kicked out of her supposed home, with the people there thinking the worst of her. Probably saying things like how she was just like her mother, cheating on Kenneth and whatnot. More than likely breathing a sigh of relief because the hothead wasn't there.
Whatever.
"I don't know. It all depends on what the treaty would say." She waited for the waitress, who upon seeing the newcomer, asked if Selena wanted anything to drink before walking away again. "Or, really, if my presence would be welcome at all."

Selena really didn't care for these people. She'd certainly like to slap them and ask them why they let her cousin get so strung out on drugs. Lena saved Thea's life not these people. So if they had anything to say to her then they could, but I'd probably be the last thing they ever said.
Lena perced her lips lightly at the two people here with Thea. She suppressed the need to roll her eyes. She instead focused on Thea.
"Yes, home." Lena said. Yes the Guild had been different since Thea left. Some were happy and others were sad. It depended on the person really. No one said anything about her though. The Guild lives on.
"We can discuss the Treaty...alone." She said quickly, looking sharply at the two here and then back. "I'd do it soon, I'm sure since I'm out of the house that place is a mecca of activity." Lena suggested.
"You know it would. Many people there do miss you." Lena said. "So, shall we hash out a new treaty?" Lena asked. "Back at the Guild?" She quickly added.

There was a flash of irritation that went through Thea, and she saw it reflected in Iggy's face. Though she highly doubted Iggy's irritation was for the same reason as her. The insistence of going back to that forsaken place just rubbed her the wrong way. Also the fact that she didn't believe Selena when she said a lot of people missed her back at the Guild.
"I can count on one hand how many people would definitely want me back, then about a dozen who couldn't care less whether I came back or stayed away." Really, she was going to come back regardless of who stood where on the "Thea Loving" gauge. At the sound of a new treaty being made, she had to. Because even if her family could take on any assessing that came to off then, she would sleep better knowing she did everything she could to make sure they weren't.
What she really wanted to know, out of pure curiosity, how mad Kenneth was at her. There was just something about his thoughts of her that was intriguing; how could he (nonverbally) tell her he loved her, when clearly he didn't trust her? At the same time she hated it, she was amused.
Despite her desire to know about Kenneth, she also didn't feel comfortable to outright ask. Might as well shuffle him in with everyone else. "And what's up with not having Iggy and Fancy come along?"

Lena ignored the two here, they were specs on her radar and they can act all pissed at her for leaving but if she hadn't gone then Thea would not have a mother and her PTSD would be worse. At least she got Thea off drugs and she has been helping her. She was paying for Thea's rescue missions. She was helping her way more.
"I can always add something in the Treaty that says although people don't have to like you, they have to respect you and that they can't openly say anything about your family. In return, you don't talk openly about your family and you don't start fights with anyone as they are working with you and for you." Lena suggested. "I think we need to make a better treaty for the both of us."
Lena also thought about Kenneth and the way he had been throwing himself into his work and the way he didn't talk to anyone. He was angry and hurt and lashed out at a lot of people. He was hurt at what happened.
"Because she gets scared every time she comes close to the Guild and the Treaty is between us." She said. "Shall I meet you at the gates of the Guild or do you wish for me to drive you?"
