The Originals-The Prescotts- Closed

And just because I felt the need to write a dramatic post. XD

@BlackPanther Hi BP!
EDIT: Oh, you're not online. LOL

The Originals-The Prescotts- Closed

Claudia Aluredes

_@Wick

Claudia was floating in a darkness. Wolf and human, human and wolf. She had no idea what form she was in. Just that she was floating. Up is down, down is up. No foot holds, her hand/paw touched nothing but air. She wasn't falling nor flying. Just simply there. Floating. She opened her eyes. She couldn't see anything. Just a simple black space. She lifted her hand to her face. A human hand, a wolf's paw. Her mind was foggy.

"Where am I?"

In the distance, she heard a wolf howl.

"Caius?" Her voice sounded raspy.

The wolf howled again. The howl sounded like Caius' but at the same time it wasn't. She realized that it wasn't him. It was her. Her howl.

"Claudia."

"Caius?" she asked again, this time her voice was stronger. She sounded more like herself.

"Claudia" A voice whispered. A deeper voice.

That voice. It pulled at her heart. She felt it beat a little faster. Slowly, she remembered a wedding. The full moon. The freedom of running. The smell of the forest.

"Come on baby, don't leave me!" The same voice whispered again, this time a little urgently. She felt herself spin in her little black space. Slowly, slowly.

Her heart thudded against her chest. The wolves. Feral eyes stared at her. They were tearing at her. Her eyes widened and her hand flew to her body, to the parts where she had been injured. But there was no pain, no wounds. Just darkness. "Alex..." Relaxing darkness. Her eyes fluttered close again. Just a few minutes of sleep. And then she'll figure out where she was. She'll figure out how to find Alex. She stopped spinning.

"I love you, Claudia." His voice repeated the words over and over again.

It took Claudia the whole night to regenerate her wounds. Most had healed but the deeper ones were still there, still in the process of healing. She slowly opened her eyes. She felt tired and weak but Alex's arms were wrapped securely around her. Despite being naked, his arms around her made her feel safe and protected. His eyes were closed even though he didn't sleep. Blood stained his cheeks. She figured he had been crying and immediately felt bad that she had worried him. She lifted her hand and laid it on his cheek. "Alex..." she whispered softly.

Scott made his way in, his keen sense of smell taking in all the strange scents. In the midst of it all was the familiar scent of the wolves he had ran with centuries ago. A young witch was at the counter entertaining an older one. It didn't take long for the customer to leave, walking past him. Her smell was different. Older. Thousands and thousands of centuries older. Way way older than he was. She didn't seem hostile and she walked past without even paying him any attention. That suited him just fine. Meddling in the business of witches was something he had no plans on doing.

He turned his attention back to the trio. The wolves were staring straight at him, the look in their eyes told him that they recognized him the way they did them. He can smell their blood from where he was standing. The female's blood was pumped with adrenaline, all directed towards her muscles. She would no doubt launch herelf at him the moment she detected any form of hostility. The younger of the wolves, the male, was at her side. His blood was purer. His heart beat was strong and steady, obviously the calmer of the two. It was a trait rare to those of his specie and the reason why he was the leader among the two. His green eyes tracked the young witch as she made her way towards the wolves. By her actions and the way she spoke, she was well acquainted with the Originals. He watched her lean slightly towards the male wolf, a clear act of possessiveness.

He glanced down at the bracelet that adorned her wrist. His keen senses detecting the small vibration on it. He guessed that it had some sort of detecting spell on it. Something that would tell her exactly what he was. Interesting. A clever witch. She probably had some spells forming in her head to ward him off. It didn't matter. Spells didn't affect him. And besides, he had no intention of causing trouble. When she addressed him, he met her gaze with a small smile of acknowledgement, or at least what he hoped was a smile. He hadn't been in contact with humans for a long time and his social skills might very well be lacking. He turned towards the wolves. Interacting with them should be easier. "Well met, wolves. It has been centuries."

Claudia raised an eyebrow. "So you are that wolf we ran with before." She didn't know if she should be relieved or be on guard with this revelation.

Scott could sense her wariness. He couldn't really blame her. He would react the same way when faced with humans. Humans were... difficult to deal with. Compared to the animals in the wild, they were complex and most times unreasonable. "I am," he admitted with a small nod.

Standing near the stranger, Caius could clearly smell what he is. A vampire. It was confirmed by the lack of a heart beat. But his smell was strange. Almost similar to how he and his sister smelled. Musky, earthy and feral. He instinctively reached out and pulled Callie close to his side, his arm protectively draped around her waist. Was it really possible that he was a shapeshifter? Did he turn into a wolf and ran with them all those centuries ago? Or was it some kind of elaborate illusion. He met a vampire once who can make illusions. Was he the same? There was something else too. Something he can't quite put his finger on. Seeing that there wasn't any other customers in the shop, he figured it'd best to just ask. "You're an Original." It wasn't really a question but a statement. One that he hoped he would confirm. Claudia glanced at her brother then back at the stranger.

"Does it matter what I am?" Scott countered.

Looking at the stranger closely, Claudia caught on to her brother's train of thought. His scent was unique. Something that was in between a vampire and a werewolf. He wasn't a hybrid, that's for sure. He was an Original. A shapeshifter. "You have the ability to turn into a wolf. What brings you to Carson City?" There was an edge to her voice.

Scott turned to the female wolf. Perhaps admitting to them what he can do will earn him their trust. Why he needed it, he didn't know. The same way he had no idea why he was compelled to step into the city. "I have. But my forms are not only limited the way yours are." He watched Claudia's reactions closely. The small movements she made clearly showed that she appreciated his candor. It was, however, far from trust. "I do not mean harm to either of you." His eyes drifted towards Caius' arm around Callie's waist. He looked at Callie. Her blood smelled of fear. "And to the witch as well..." He turned back to Claudia. "I am here for reasons I cannot quite explain. A sense that I should be here, if you will. I cannot say it pleases me. Being in this concrete jungle the humans have made is... disconcerting."

Caius chuckled at his words. Scott turned his attention to him. "That's definitely something new. I've never really encountered any of your kind that shies away from human population."

While Caius' tone was lighthearted, Scott detected the challenge in it. He rose up to it. "I do not deny that humans have exquisite taste. But I find their kind..." he paused, searching for the right words. "...a nuisance."

This time it was Claudia's turn to chuckle, her stance relaxing a little. "They are, aren't they?" She glanced over to Callie. "No offense, Callie. You're cool. But there are a lot of those self righteous ones."

Caius studied Scott for a few minutes before he decided it was best to ally himself with the strange vampire than be at odds with him. He held out a hand as a sign of good will. "Caius Aluredes."

Scott looked at Caius and then at the hand extended to him. For a moment, it didn't seem like he would take the offered friendship but he soon lifted his hand to grasp Caius', sealing what could be a strong alliance. "Scott Halstead."

"My sister, Claudia. And my mate, Callie Lenson." Caius introduced the ladies.

Where hearts lie

@Caits

Caius finished the next two boxes of pizza easily. Fighting had made him ravenous and at the back of his mind, he wondered how Callie would think seeing him eat this much. He chuckled at the thought and pushed aside the three empty boxes. He opened the last box but didn't eat, thinking of how it should be reserved for her as she had only eaten one a half slices. "We should do something to prevent more of your kind from being turned. If this place is overrun with uncontrollable fledgling, the wolves in my pack would not hesitate to kill them all."

As the water trickled down his hair and started soaking his shirt, JJ's mind replayed the events that had transpired earlier that day. Opening the door after a year of the catastrophe... Of course the air outside would be toxic. But no, he just barreled out like the rest of the people giving no thought about his safety...about anyone's safety. He knew what sort of scene he would face outside the doors but looking at it still horrified him. And then people began dying one by one. He wondered what had happened to his family. Were they still alive? Were they kept safe in a bunker only to die after the doors opened like what was happening where he is? Mom...

He would have kept his eyes closed if it wasn't for the ripping sound and the yelp that came from the next shower stall. His eyes flew open and he straightened up, the first thing on his mind being that the person in the other stall was already succumbing to the toxins that was continuously killing the others off. He hastily turned off the water and pulled back the shower curtain, just in time to see a soaked Robert crashing to the floor, his legs tangled in the torn shower curtain.

For a moment, he stood there and stared at Robert as he kicked himself free of the shower curtain and fall against the wall. On a normal day, it would have looked comical, he would have chuckled. But this wasn't a normal day. Any day from the moment the asteroid hit had stopped being normal. His mouth formed the words but he held back in asking if the younger boy was alright. He figured that the he would probably be too humiliated to answer back. The look on his face told him that much. And so, without saying anything, he stepped out from his stall, his hair dripping wet and his shirt half soaked. He walked over to him, leaned down and offered his hand to assist him up.

Vampires in the Shadows-closed

Claudia Aluredes

_@Wick

Claudia stayed clinging to Alex for a long while before his cellphone rang. She waited patiently for him to finish. knowing full well that he had been called to another mission even before he answered the call. When asked to stay, she vehemently shook her head. She was determined to stay by his side. "No. Where you go, I go. I'll try to stay out of your way though," she said as she stood up and got dressed herself.

She followed him out of the house but paused when she saw Shade and the new vampire in the backseat. He warily watched her actions before slowly approaching the car. She had half the mind to just run beside the car, her instincts telling her that there was danger in being cooped up in the metal box with the fledgling vampire. But the need to stay beside Alex was stronger and slowly, she got into the passenger seat.

@Kyrisse Nope, they're in the women's showers. We're in the men's showers.

@Aeternum

Oh okay. Had to make sure. Post will be up soon. Just need to get up and get my laptop.

After the Asteroid-Closed

@Wick In the interest of making an accurate post, is Jason, Harley and Sasha in the showers the same time as Robert and JJ?
