Claudia and Alex

---

with @Kyrisse

Claudia remained silent the whole time that it took them to get back to the bar. But her arm was curled possessively around Alex's while she lost herself in her thoughts, the events that happened only a few minutes ago playing in her mind. She knew that something was up, she heard the unrest in the house, she heard the voices. And when she heard Alex cry out in pain, it took all of her self control not to break down the door and charge outside. Even though she had only known him a short span of time, she was already possessive and protective of him. But no matter how much she wanted to tear out the throat of the person who hurt Alex, she didn't want to walk into something she should not be poking her nose into. She was, after all, an outsider to this family. When he returned and she walked into his arms, he told her what the meeting was all about. A war was coming.

Her hand tightened its grip on his arm. He was hers. There was no way she was letting him fight in the war alone. If he wanted to protect her, she was sure as hell gonna protect him too. As soon as they stepped into the bar, Caius met them and handed her his apron. He asked her to cover for him and then rushed out with Callie before she could say anything. She shrugged and then turned to Alex and asked the question that has been bothering her since leaving the Prescott's house. "Who hurt you back there?"

Alex sighed and looked at Claudia and smiled. "I think I like this side of you. Caring and sweet definitely suits you. I'm fine, it was just a family squabble, nothing to worry about." He kissed her cheek and finished tying his apron and looked around the room and headed towards a table on the far side of the room to clear and wipe it down.

His mind wandered back to what had happened and thought about Grant for a minute as he cleared the tables. The vampire was younger than he was by a few hundred years. He knew he is Piper's boyfriend/mate or whatever they were and he didn't want to hurt her so he had not fought back when he put him in the wrestling hold. He had been surprised when he had bitten him and started to feed on him. This was purely done out of disrespect. He had seen Piper come in and when he did he felt Grant dig his teeth in deeper so it ripped when he was pulled off of him. He would deal with Grant another time and he needed to let Piper know that if he tried that again he would not hold back.

Family squabble. If anyone tries to hurt you again, I'll... Claudia's mind brought up images of herself tearing a faceless vampire's throat and dismembering another. She stated at Alex for a few minutes as she put on her brother's apron. She still couldn't quite comprehend how it all happened but here she was, involved with someone that belonged to a race she always thought she needed to hate. Well, that hate was now fierce loyalty and undying devotion. After all, wolves were very faithful and steadfast to their chosen mates.

She made her way to the bar and her attention was immediately called by an already drunk male vampire. "Hey little she wolf. What do you say you and me get wasted and blow this joint? I'll show you a really good time."

"No," Claudia continued mixing drinks and did not even bother looking up.

This infuriated the vampire. "What? You think you're better than me...above me? You're nothing but a flea bitten rug pretending to be something more," he stood up and took a swipe at Claudia, one that she easily sidestepped.

Maybe being with Alex mellowed down her anger or maybe it was just her fulfilling the role of a bartender. Whatever it was, she didn't lose her cool. She slammed a shot glass onto the bar counter in front of the vampire and smirked at him. "Drink up, old man."

The vampire glared at Claudia but the alcohol in front of him distracted him and he fell to silence as he downed the liquid. Claudia promptly ignored him but then another male accosted her attention. A werewolf this time. The man winked at her. "A vampire doesn't have a chance with you, I'm sure. You and I are the same. So what do you think of hooking up?"

Alex was also calmer since he knew that Claudia was his but he wasn't about to allow anyone to harass her either. He watched as she handled the vampire and when the vampire backed off he retracted his fangs. When the wolf started hitting on her he walked behind the bar and when she looked up he smiled at her and tipped her chin up and kissed her soundly. Then Alex smiled at the wolf and walked over to finish putting the load of clean glasses away. He was smiling. He chanced a peek up at Claudia's expression.

The wolf looked at Claudia and at Alex. He seemed to stare at Alex for a moment then he said something that made Alex grin like a predator upon sighting his prey. "You are the Enforcer!" Alex nodded "It seems my reputation precedes me." The wolf quickly finished his drink and left a little unnerved. Alex watched the man go and he kept working slightly concerned about what his recognition would bring to the bar.

As the surprise of Alex staking his claim on her so blatantly faded, a sense of belonging and contentment settled over Claudia. A satisfied smile found its way to her face as she watched the werewolf hurry out of the bar. When they were alone again later, she would have to show him just how much she belonged to him.

At the corner of her eye she saw Lucinda speaking to a woman. She inhaled sharply. She was human but the way she carried herself clearly spelled out that there was more to her than meets the eye. She didn't mind. Just as long as she stayed away from Alex, everything between them will be right as rain.

After Lucinda introduced Ashley to him and her instructions sounded vague to any non vampire he knew he might have to explain what she was to Claudia. He watched as Lucinda left and he got back to Claudia. He pulled her to him and didn't pay any attention to the smirks and grins the customers were giving them. He asked her quietly if she had any questions about Ashley.

All the werewolves stared incredulously at Claudia. While most tolerated the vampires in the bar, seeing her openly display her relationship to one was almost intolerable. There were low grumbles but none made a move to complain or speak up. Claudia couldn't care less. "Just as long as she stays away from you... whoever she is and whatever role she'll play here, I won't mind and I won't care."

Alex couldn't have cared less what anyone else thought about his ladylove being a wolf. She was his and nothing was going to change that as far as he was concerned. He spoke low so only she could hear him. "She is Lucinda's blood doll." He could tell that the term was new to her and he said "She is Lucinda's walking blood bank. Lucinda will feed on her whenever she pleases and that way she doesn't have to hunt when it is dangerous for her to do so, like during a war."

When the growling and grumbling got loud enough to annoy Alex he turned and shouted to the room, "That's ENOUGH!"

"Blood doll," Claudia repeated and then nodded. She'll need to get use to the terminologies. When Alex shouted to the room, she turned her attention to the handful of wolves who glared at her. How dare they? Her temper mounting, he stared back at them and bared her teeth the way a rabid dog would, a low growl in her throat. The werewolves glared back and decided that it wasn't worth their time to stay. One by one they left, the last one muttering "Tyrant" as he left. "Tyrant?" Claudia repeated and then laughed out loud. But her laughter died in her throat when a vampire near them sneered.

"Your new lap dog, Alex?" the vampire raised his eyebrow arrogantly at Claudia.

The instant the words were out of his mouth the vampire found himself hoisted into the air by his throat as Alex strangled him. His eyes glowed a deadly red, his fangs were dropped and he growled to the vampire in a guttural voice that dared him. "Apologize to the lady." The vampire could barely breath let alone speak. Alex adjusted the man's position and he stammered "I apologize miss." Alex threw the man ten feet and when he got to his feet he yelled. "Watch out North you don't want anything to happen to your precious wolf." Alex was a blur in motion as he ripped the head off of the vampire and threw it like a basketball. The body he carried around back and put it in a hole that he would fill with concrete early the next morning.

Going back inside the bar he looked at Claudia as he locked the door and sighed and he pulled her into his arms. "I will not allow anyone to threaten you. You are my love and I'll kill them all if I have to." Alex lifted her onto the bar and turned the lights out. He buried his head into her as he wrapped his arms around her. Then he looked up into her eyes and he kissed her possessively. Claiming her right there as his mate he whispered the words to her. "I love you Claudia."

Claudia's heart beat increased its tempo in response to the violence she witnessed from Alex. Oddly enough, seeing him so aggressive made her want him all the more. Silently, she watched him walk back in. He let her lift her onto the bar with no resistance. When he wrapped his arms around her, she responded by wrapping her own around him. And when he kissed her, she responded with fervor and need. I love you Claudia. His words snatched at her heart. She had heard the same words so many times from her past relationships. But she has never spoken the words back. But now... She looked into the eyes of a predator... Of an enemy... Of a lover... Of her mate. "I love you, Alex," she whispered back. She lifted her hands and began stroking his head. "But you really can't go around killing your kind and my kind just because they offend me."

Jac

&

Cassius

Jac woke to the gentle sway of her home the Dona as out in the river a Barge tug pushed it’s load downstream to some mill or other destination. She was still nude and wrapped in the arms of her new lupine lover and it made her feel so tiny which in any other situation would have made her feel self conscious but in present company it was comforting.
Then just as she was feeling relaxed she saw her house mate Capn Jimmy as he hovered and grinned staring at her.

So what makes you think I am an exhibit here for your amusement?

And manifest at least enough that me Bo no think I’m cray sighs Jac as she wiggles free of Cassius’s arms.

Then she hops across the room nude and pours water from a pitcher into a bowl then bathes with a towel as she begins singing an odd song in french. Then once she’s done she throws the dirty water out a window and refills the bowl once more and grabs a clean towel and heads over to the bed and perches on it’s edge
Now me sweet, sweet man I be thinkin we needs to form a mutual protection agency. Meself with concerns O’ de Arcane and you me very lovely gentleman de force of arms.

I be knowing de coming storm for Grande Brigitte be whisperin to me O’ it’s approach for I Couleuvre D’eau have ta ears for ta hear her.
She said all this in a cheerful tone as she started bathing him gently.

Was there a spell involved or was it just that damn good? Cassius was passed out with his enchanting witch. The extra warm large naked wolf, laying there, in comfort cuddling up with his new squeeze, continued his snoring serenade. He was not aware at the moment of the floating boat mate who was enjoying the visual of the two cuddled.

The moment Jac spoke and moved from the big guy's grasp, Cassius slightly opened his eyes catching sight of the beautiful ass in his view pouring water and hearing this interesting tune while Jac washing herself before coming his way.

Moving slightly, a smirk came across his face when realizing Jac was going to bathe him. He couldn't remember the last time getting treatment like this and this was something he could get used to. Mutual protection agency? Hmm....you have my interest... he said bringing his hand up to her cheek to gently caress it with his thumb.

Damn babe....you're too damn good to me. but....you know, I have your back...whatever you need...I got you....if we're really doing this agency thing...I'm assuming, we're really going to have to increase our numbers depending on the demand. He said while enjoying his hands on bathing.

De storm it be coming soon an dos not be prepared be swept away in the tide.

We not going ta be tha new tragedy but tha survivors; I thinkin perhaps openin a magic shop be tha best way for I to be bringin solitaires in ma circle she says as she finishes washing him and hops off the bed to toss the water out of the window.

We no need ta be too big so as ta trac attention O’ the powers assemblin but big nuff ta protect our owns. I think it be best that we not grow larger than 13 each includin ourselves. she continues as she steps over to her tiny stove and begins cooking breakfast

Listening carefully as to make sure he was hearing her right because of the way she talked, Cassius nodded his head to her I totally agree baby. I already know of two loners that I'd like to bring here. We've loosely worked together before and they may be of benefit. I understand that this is survival and we can't save everyone so....shall we look for a spot together? If we need money...I can take care of that department unless you already have that covered? he suggested and asked. Oh...and uh...thanks for washing me....maybe I'll do you next time... he smirked

Jac laughed as she began scrambling eggs in cheese an Bodan

I be Avin me own treasures my sweet but never spend mornin yall has to so we split tha cost; you for da wolves I for der witches. And yall can bathe me any times. she says finishing with a giggle as she splits her pan of eggs a la bodan into two plates and then carries them over to the bed.

She hands him the lion's share of the eggs and sets her plate on the side table then pours them both chickory coffee and heads back to slide her back against the wall as she begins to eat.

Ashley

---

---

Ashley had left Alex’s presence and out into the bar where she looked around at all the people assembled and took a quick appraisal of the social stations they displayed including influence, charisma, economic position and intelligence. She would later use this to calculate her role in the organization which required she be more aware of all these factors in order to give her Mistress the best picture of her domain to make decisions for it’s benefit.

Lucky for her it looked as if the local population was beneath her level of education by and large so impressing them would be easy but she must also be careful of making them feel as if she thought them stupid though she hoped that soon the fools would be culled like weeds in a wild garden. Someone had been making children out of the lower elements of society which was a sure sign of soldier making or cannon fodder as a prelude to war.

Give me 12 well trained lightly armed highly paid and motivated soldiers over 100 fools with AKs and I'll hand you victory she thought as she headed back outside the bar walking towards her car.

Athos
Witch

---

Athos carried a barrel of wine up from his basement. The pub had been doing well and he had to admit he felt accomplished that he even had managed to merge the flavors of his home land Ireland with the ideas of England. The pub which was named The crow, was peaceful and nestled on the very edge of the city filled with supernaturals. A place that was neutral and that the owner did not allow any fighting. He set the barrel down next to the other five and slowly pounded the stopper into its side. Around him was a soothing image. The bar itself was made of a thick wood stained with many glass rings...most were from the large beer mugs that he used for containing the frothy amber liquids of the two specialty beers for that month. The stools were made from old barrels bolted to the floor with plush deep purple and blue cushions replacing the lids.

The smaller tables were also made from barrels with their lids now slabs of wood. The larger tables being made from thick pieces of oak with chairs that were somehow more comfortable then they looked. He looked toward his right at the sliding window to the kitchen. Then at the ceiling which had be painted black with specks of white that were actually small lights meant to mimic the night sky. He sighed and looked sideways at two crows that stared back with beady eyes. "I know I know you want your fruit...spoiled beasts" he muttered and placed a bowl of fruit on the surface and watched the crows dig into it with sharp beaks. Snape looked purple in the light from the tints of blue and purple in the Windows which caused a different effect on Sirius who looked more like an oil slick.

He moved to the heavy wooden door and opened it flipping the sign to open and looked at the wooden shop sign that gave the pub an old fashioned look. The painted crow with the words 'The Crow' written in an old fashioned text. He then walked back inside and waited for his cook who came rushing in and made his way to the kitchen. He had to admit the werewolf was efficient and made it exactly on time every time. He then looked up at the clock attached to the far wall and waited for the first batch of customers. He gave a small look of amusement as he heard Toni...who he called tiny, prepare for meals in the kitchen.

Piper Lance

Piper was up early the next morning and she sat on the bed looking at Grant. What was it between them? They seemed so different and yet... She just couldn't understand why it was him. The only thing she could think of was that there was a spell on them. She ran her fingers down his back as he lay next to her on the bed. She kissed his neck and whispered that she would be back later and she left the house. She needed to think and find some answers.

She headed towards the wolf side of town and she covered herself in mud in her wolf form to disguise some of her scent. It was easy for her to slip in with the other wolves.

Tabitha, Holly and Callie

---

@BlackPanther@Wick @dabombjk @King Tai @RumikoOhara @Venku @Kyrisse

---

There were many things that Tabitha was grateful for, and one of them was Garrett: curled against him, Tabitha felt like she had everything she ever wanted. For so long, she had denied her feelings, because it had just always been Garrett and Lucinda, she hadn't thought to ever be so lucky as to tell Garrett she loved him. And now...

And now she has him. She got to call him hers. To tell him that she loved him. And to hear it back. Loved her, on some level, always? That made her feel foolish for not having done something earlier...she gave a soft sigh, rising she moved smoothly, hurriedly writing a note to Garrett, where at another time she might have just run off, to say she was going to find Callie, and that there was something she needed to check out. She had to be sure, before...

Dashing off, Tabitha first followed Callie's lingering scent towards the bar, and then, curiously, to an apartment. oh. Hell no the smell of werewolf was all around. Callie was her witch. And yet Tabitha knew she didn't have a right to tell her who or who not she could sleep with. At least, not until she turned her. And even then, it was-

"Hi Mama"

The voice was enough to distract Tabitha completely and utterly, as she turned to face the red head woman behind her, a smile jumping to Tabitha's face. "Holly" she embraced the taller woman, hugging her tightly. Holly was one of her youngest, and perhaps one of the ones she missed the most. Her little Holly, all grown up.

"Mama!" Holly said, her eyes widened slightly with surprise, "you have Uncle Garrets scent all over you! Are you doing the hanky panky with him?"

Tabithas mind wondered a moment, imagining, before she shook her head, "no, no-at least not yet, although..." she gave a soft, dreamy sigh, before telling Holly briefly what had happened the last couple of days.

"Oh, Mama. I know you've loved him for years. When I was first turned, and I was around more it was obvious in the way you looked at him, the way sometimes you'd move just slightly, so you could watch him. You covered it up pretty well. And there was the fact that the night you turned me, you said you loved him as you chatted away, curled up with me. I love you Mama, and I'm happy for you. Uncle Garrett's a good person"

Tabitha nodded, hugging Holly once more. "It's still very complicated with Grant, though...I don't know what i can do, it's hurting Garrett and there's nothing I can see that will help"

"Oh Mama, you always come up with the most fantastic ideas. I'm sure you can here too"

Tabitha thought on that for a time, then nodded. Holly glanced about and said "why are we standing out front of a werewolves hovel?"

Tabitha blinked. "Oh! My witch is in there!" She said, looking back to the apartment. Her expression focused, and she started towards the door.

"You mean the one that was bitten? At least I saw a girl get bitten by a wolf when I came past last night"

That caused Tabitha to stop, and she looked to Holly wide eyed. "He bit my witch?!" Was this some sort of joke? Some way to wreck her plans? Fury swept over Tabitha, and she turned, pounded on the door so hard, she cracked it.

"Callie! Callie damn it!"

Callie jolted from where she was at Tabitha's angry voice, she didn't think the girl was capable of such emotion. She glanced to Caius, suddenly sick to her stomach. She scrambled up, not questioning how Tabitha knew she was here. She wriggled into her clothes, running a hand through her hair, she glanced to her shoulder, but didn't linger. Tabitha was like to bring the whole place down, in her wrath.

"Oh gods, I didn't think about Tabitha"

[Eviledd1984]

Michale soon came though the doors and into the bar feeling a hard lump in this throat,"It's time to drink..the pain away" He thought making his way towards the bar taking a seat on one of the stools. He was wearing a checkered green and gray flannel shirt with dark jeans that were ripped and finally some green sneakers.

His face looked a bit beat up with some blood some his and some was not his along with a black eye and his clothes dirty form the fight."Give me your strongest drink bar man" He said relaxing on the stool feeling alot of pain in his torso and a splitting headache.

[Wick]

Piper Lance

Piper walked into the bar and looked over as she sat down on one of the bar stools. Alex was busy so she looked around and noticed the guy sitting closest to her. She noticed some blood on him and his face was bruised and upon further inspection she noticed that his clothes were ripped. Curiosity got the better of her.

"What happened to you?" She asked him. Concern was written all over her face. "I hope you gave better than you got." She signaled to Alex and he sent a shot to the man per his request and one to Piper.

@eviledd1984

[Eviledd1984]

"A fight...bastard tried shank me but i got him..." Michale said softly gritting his teeth form the thought of the fight got him so angry,Turning his head away looking at a picture he just noticed and reminded him of something.And this something was something that pissed off the blonde.

"Could have stomp him down..fucker got me in the hand.." He muttered looking at the healed part of the palm of his hand.

[Wick]

Piper Lance

Piper looked around. She was hoping to find someone. She knew there were other witches around who might be able to help her figure this out. "Crap, she isn't here. Well I guess I'll keep looking." Piper turns back to Michale and says, "Was nice meeting you. I gotta run, I'm looking for someone." Piper got up and headed further into the city. Eventually she ran across a pub that had a heavy magical scent to it.

She went inside and the scent of magic practically dripped from the walls. She went to the bar and saw a young man there. "Can I speak to the witch who owns this place?" She noticed a few people giving her odd looks and she smiled back hoping no one was cursing her as she stood there waiting for a reply.

@blackpanther@eviledd1984

[Eviledd1984]

"Mhm..fucking dike..." Michale murmured to himself looking around and slamming his hand on the table,"Damn it where is my drink?" He yelled out shaking his head as another woman came into the bar."Yeah but she left...who are you?" He asked rising a brow and wondering what the fuck going on.

Athos-Witch

---

Athos looked up as he heard someone enter the two crows starting their cawing. He gently scratched the two birds until they quieted. "Sure what's your business" Amber eyes held a small amount of amusement while wondering what this woman wanted. Would it be a spell or perhaps a curse. Sirius and Snape made their way to the woman and both looked up at her with beady eyes. Athos made a soft sound and both birds went back to him, Snape rolling on his back for a belly scratch which Athos gave while still studying the woman.

The sounds from the kitchen were silenced as the werewolf cook listened in case he was needed. This caused for another amused look to skitter through his eyes as the burly bear of a cook seemed to always worry about the male witch who honestly could handle himself. He tilted his head causing his deep red hair to fall over more of his face. "After all I am curious what you would need from a witch like me" his voice was soft and the patrons that were there stood and left nodding to Athos as they went. Those patrons were regulars and knew when Athos had that tone that he meant for privacy.

[Wick]

Piper Lance

Piper blushed a little embarrassed that she had assumed it would be someone much older who owned the pub. "I'm sorry I expected the owner to be...well quite frankly an old man or woman not one so..." She blushed again. "So, I need to know if you can help me find out if there is a spell on me and this other person."

Piper sat down and looked at him wondering how to tell him this. "My name is Piper and I met this guy named Grant and I think there is a spell cast on us or something and I need it taken off if there is." She knew it was sounding strange and she frowned. "I'm not explaining this right. He is a vampire and I'm a hybrid and other than the crazy strange pulling that keeps pulling us together we have very little in common and I don't think he likes me at all. I know it sounds like I'm just some girl with relationship problems but honest to God that's not it." Frustrated she sighed. "Can you help me find out?"

@blackpanther@dabombjk

[Eviledd1984]

Michale looked a bit pissed looking around before speaking again,"where the hell is my drink god damn it" He said slamming his hand on the table once more.Looking down at the shot glass below him filled with the drink he let out a soft "oh",Chugging the contents inside turning his head around.Hearing people talking he turned his head around to listen into the conversation."Witches?I have not seen them in a long time" He said thinking of Halloween of 1953 where he and Urian had fought and killed some who were killing the local children.

He wondered what and why the hell they would be here of all places.

Athos-Witch

---

Athos' mouth twitched at pipers first statement. "Maybe I am old" he then shrugged. "I guess it's understandable considering this is a pub after all" he pulled his hand away from Snape which earned him a protesting caw. He raised his brow at the next statement. odd it was most certainly an odd request.

His brow then furrowed somewhat as if he was concentrating on her. very odd and then it made more sense. a hybrid...wolf and vampire. he straightened and made his way to the window connecting to the kitchen and slid it open already knowing the cook could hear just fine. "Tiny I need you to put on your designated boss cap and get out here." the cook grumbled and that caused more amusement in Athos. "Move it boyo this lass has important business" an Irish accent slipping as he feigned being annoyed.

The burly cook made his way out and went behind the bar as Athos went out from it. Toni was huge. Deep green eyes with bright red hair though that was hiding under the cap he now wore...with bulging muscles. Im older then you. Toni muttered but that was ignored Athos motioned for piper to follow him as he pulled down the hidden entrance to the second floor. He climbed up the folding stairs and pushed open the trap door. When she reached the top he helped her up then whistled. The sound caused for his two crows to fly to his shoulders and he pulled up the stairs and closed the door.

He motioned for her to sit somewhere and he focused on her. "it could be a spell true but it also could be imprinting. With that in mind...I need to know if you've been around any witches and if any of those witches would have a motive to do this to you" his head tilted as he watched her. The second floor was quite warm and welcoming despite the small size. There were traces of deep blue and purple amongst greys. For instance the couch was a dark grey with pillows of those colors and a galaxy blanket draped on it. On one wall was a large bookcase that seemed innocent enough.

[Wick]

Piper Lance

Piper had followed Athos. Her brow furrowed. "None that I am aware of but my family is quite well known. I'm in the Prescott line and oddly so is he. We are from 2 different originals. You think it could be imprinting?" Pipers hopes were dashed instantly of getting rid of the power that was controlling her. It made complete and total sense to her. "Unfortunately, there was no one around that could teach me about that. I have heard of it but it never crossed my mind."

She looked at Athos hoping there was another answer.

Athos-witch

---

Athos tilted his head. The two crows flew off to perches and fluffed their feathers while he was deep in thought. He suddenly brought out a hand and blew some form of powder on her. It hit her chest and he shook his head. "If that had not hit you then it would have been a spell. Since it did....you have imprinted." he moved to the book case and pulled a book revealing a hidden door with strange symbols coating its surface. He walked into the room and a few moments later returned with a small bottle. It was glass with different patterns on it yet clear to show the black liquid within. "Due to the intensity of an imprinting the only way you can change your feelings is this"

He handed it to he and his eyes seem to bore into her. "A potion to make one hate the one they loved. With imprinting this will make you neutral to him but be warned should you not be inprinted upon him you will experience a hate so deep the only way to ever love him again is a very strong spell or potion. Both would take me time to prepare" he tilted his head. "first potion is on me. If you require the reversal that will cost you" somehow the freckles on his face seemed to be darker and his eyes more shaded as if showing the darkness within. No normal witch would have a hate potion nor would they even hand it out. Sirius cawed from his perch as if to add to the scene.

He then fluffed his hair in thought and his features seemed lighter once more. "It is up to you to choose your path. Since you're here...and a Prescott I am guessing that means the rest of that family is here as well....since you are unaware I shall inform you that my pub is a neutral location. Any supernatural may come here without fear of fighting. If any does....the consequence is...unpleasant" his eyes seemed to darken at unpleasant once more it is clear he is not an ordinary witch. He is willing to hex or curse to keep his place safe for all...and he knows those things well. In fact of one were to investigate the door closer one would find small symbols made from a dried fluid as if he was preventing certain trouble makers from entering with them.

[Wick]

Piper Lance

Piper was concerned about this "imprinting." She really needed to know how that worked. She glanced up at him and nodded. "Thank you. "Please let me know if there is ever anything I can do to repay your kindness. I'll think on that potion though. I guess I'll have to look at this another way and give it a chance first." Piper reached for the nearest paper coaster and turned it over and wrote her name and cell number on it. "If you think of something I can help you with please let me know."

Piper smiled at him. "You have calmed my mind though. Knowing that it's not a spell takes a lot of worry off of my mind. Thank you."

Alex North

Alex was unloading the truck and helping the construction workers out back. He had already poured the concrete that they were planning on getting too first thing. He was putting the framing up on the side that was ready for it. The plumbing had already been laid and so they were able to continue right along. A little while later Alex came into the bar and put on a clean shirt. He looked over at Claudia and wondered again how he ever lived without her. Putting his hands on her hips he asked,"Hey babe. How are you doing in here?"

Athos-Witch

Athos gently pressed the bottle into her hand then stepped back. "Take it with you. If you need it it's there" he made sure his secret room was secured from a sideways look. Satisfied he focused back on her and gave a nod. He then opened the trap door and lowered the stairs. "I will keep that in mind...now I do believe I have a visitor" he helped Piper back down before calling his crows to him before going down himself. He gestured for piper to sit anywhere. "stay awhile. Perhaps get one of the two ciders of the month"

He then looked at the door as it opened and a woman in all black entered. He gestured for the new woman who seemed to radiate power to go upstairs. He followed and the door shut. The two crows looked up at Piper and softly cawed.

A few moments later the woman came back down the stairs with what looked like old scrolls. She smiled and kissed Athos' cheeks before leaving and Athos close the stairs once more. He made his way behind the bar and tiny went back to the kitchen. Athos studied Piper. "So anything to drink lass?"

Piper Lance

Piper nodded and smiled. At least she knew what the irresistible pull was now. Nodding she said, "How about a beer" She took a drink when he set it in front of her. "Very good. So if you don't mind my asking. How old are you? You just seem so...knowledgeable. I'm guessing you are older than you appear." She seemed to de-stress a little bit. She hoped he wouldn't catch her staring at him she was just curious about him. She hadn't ever met a witch before and she had no experience with them.
