Logan had nodded a little as Lia said the offer was on the table until they turned it down. Which was a relief, because it was a wonderful offer. Just, even if he knew them well enough, it was something that they would have to talk about, and one of the vampires wasn't even there. He grinned a little at what Lia said and nodded a bit again. “Well thank you, I haven't ever met Cassandra, but my sire said she is supposed to be great.” Rose gave Zach a frown, as his eyes flashed red for a moment when Logan talked about her, before patting his shoulder and he went back to normal.
Once Willow had arrived to house and checked on Sal, there truly hadn't been a reason for her to be anything but happy. Which from the feel of the room when she came in, might have just been a good thing. She happily followed Lia into her kitchen, which she couldn't help but notice was the size of her kitchen and living room together. As she entered she couldn't help but mutter the word wow, quite loudly.
When Lia said that she was right about it being a rule to feed your guests and bring food when visiting, a smile spread on Willow’s face. She had known it was a rule! She had told them! Though Lia said it wasn't a rule in the North just in the South. Which made some sense she guessed, she had came from much farther south. “So…..” She drew the word out a thoughtful look on her face. “The rules change, depending on where you live?” She asked watching Lia dug for a knife. “But how do you know where the rules change at? How do humans and other creatures know how act around eachother?”

Thankfully staring had never really bothered Garret, if anything, it made him feel oddly a bit more comfortable. It was when someone avoided eye contact that he got uncomfortable. It was a sign of guilt or trying to not be seen, if someone didn't trust him enough to actually stare at him. Chances where they were being stared at as well. Still he knew how much Randa hated to be stared at, and his hand subconsciously rubbed her arm for a moment.
His attention going between looking at the people and things around him, and listening to Clary and Cole talking to the one they called Kat. When Randa finally said something to him again he grinned a little and whispered in her ear. “I’m not a hundred percent sure this isn’t a blonde cult and the dark haired ones aren't just here to help them open doors.”
Kat smiled a little as Clary said Cole thought her arua used to be really bright and colorful. It was a nice thing in her head, but she totally missed the used to be until Aless repeated it. She was quiet for a moment, after Cole left not really sure how to respond to that. “I didn’t even know a reaper was a real thing. You seem good at it though...I think.” She said giving a small smile. When things went quiet again Kat looked over to Atticus still holding his hand, and squeezed it a little before leaning sideways towards him whispering. “I like these people, they seem nice.” Before her attention was pulled away by Aless sitting where she come play with her hair some more.
Willow smiled a bit as Sal took the cookie. “You're welcome” As she sat beside Sal, her attention going the the guy sitting close to her, and her smile widened as he shook her hand. “Nice to meet you, Atticus.” She said before a slightly confused look showed on her face, it only lasted for a moment. “Well it really fits you.” She added, and when he looked towards his girlfriend, she leaned a little closer to Sal. “Sal? What is cologne?”
Zach looked at Dahl for a second before laughing and shaking his head a little bit. “Yeah, I know babe, and you're good cook too.” He said after a minute,when he looked towards Joe and Rose, he felt Dahlia take his hand and looked towards her. He couldn't help himself but be protective, even if Rose wasn't his daughter, she felt like it, he was trying to get better about it. He nodded to Dahlia before giving a reassuring look. “I would never let anything happen to you or Hoyt.”
When the conversation about the hunters had started Mitchel had been happy that there wasn't a lot of bad reaction about what Lia had been known as. In fact the Clary girl had been excited about it, which he far from expected. However, the reaction from the one named Garret worried him, so he watched him throughout the conversation.
Zach noticed the fact Atticus’ eyes lingered on him for a moment after he said that the hunters had used multirace weapons. So his attention shifted to him for a moment. “It was in the one in the West after we lost our coven. It took the hunters a while after the battle was almost over to bring their multi weapons.” He said, if there had been one thing the races agreed on, it was they going to let them take the West.
Zach barely noticed the fact Rose was talking for Hoyt, though he looked at Dahlia as she sighed before Rose said something about Hoyt killing the hunters. He took her hand squeezing it lightly, he remembered how worried she had been when it happened. Hoyt had been worried to even tell her, afraid she would have a panic attack. So Zach had made sure he was there to calm her down. Hoyt gave Dahlia a worried look when Rose finished telling the other group about it. After a moment Rose placed a hand on Dahlia’s shoulder, giving it a quick rub.
Logan felt looks on him after he spoke, and looked at Billie and then Clary. “Though….I’m getting the feeling that I might have missed something?” He said because looking at Clary. “Well fuck, in my defense after a night of drunk chicks and assholes. It's hard to keep good enough watch I guess.”
Jo hadn't seen exactly how angry what she said about the hunter had made Alex at first. He pinched the bridge of his nose, sure, but Alex always pinched the bridge of his nose when he was annoyed. When the graveyard was brought up again though, she didn't want to be comforted. She was still angry, so she moved away. As Jo moved though she caught the fact his eyes went black out of the corner of her eye before he closed them.
For a moment she watched Alex before frowning and looking at the floor. Oh, she should have just kept her mouth shut. What the hell had she been thinking bringing it up now?! Her eyes peeked up at Billie for a moment, before back at the floor.
Mitch couldn't help but find Billie's eye thing amusing, he had never seen anything like that before and it was kind of cool looking. When Billie said it had a habit of making people uncomfortable he nodded a bit. “I can see why though.”
“It’s a little….weird, but you must remember that all of us have seen things like Lia’s zombies before, honey.” Evelyn said from her place across the room.
“Or watched Mitch bitch at a coat rack for an hour because he thinks it's Kat and she's in trouble.” Mal added getting a giggle from Kat and Mitch frowned at her. “Yeah, thanks for sharing that Mal.”
Kat was completely shocked and super impressed that Alex and Billie were raised by the Lucifer, and she nodded a bit at what Alex said. “Oh right, of course. That's still super cool though.” Still after her mother offered to let them stay with them, the talks came to an end, and Kat smiled a little waving back to Clary before she left.
Logan nodded a bit when Billie thanked him for staying behind with her, though of course he would have did so even if he wasn't staying the night with her. After everything that had happened tonight he wasn't going to make her walk home alone tonight. Feeling Billie squeeze his hand a little he smiled at her, squeezing her hand back. He was happy that Billie nodded when he said he wanted to check the doors. However, though he was worried about Clary walking home with Cole, it helped that Hoyt, Joe, and Rose left right after them.
Rose was happy that Joe said she could stay over, and though she knew that yes he didn't mind her staying over whenever she wanted. It was still better to ask. Once they left the house she smiled a little feeling Joe wrap an arm around her. She kissed his cheek before leaning against him a little as they walked.
Zach gave a small semi forced smile when Dahlia took his hand after he said Rose like a teenager. It was true though, and it was insanely annoying. He nodded a little when she said she wanted to check on Poppy. “I’ll put up anything breakable and you can bring her over too.” He offered and he looked down at Dahlia as she told the others to be careful going home before giving a small wave as well. “Nice to meet you all.” As they started walking home he took her hand in his.
As soon as they were out of the house, Garret felt a touch better. It could have been the cool early morning air, or the fact they were out of that house. He can't help his hatred for witches, only once had he met one that he liked,though honestly, Iris didn't act it. Their whole race seemed to live for getting into others heads, driving you crazy, stabbing you in the back, and cursing you for something that wasn't your fault. Fucking witches. The sigh coming from Randa drew his attention to her, and his eyes lingered on her for a moment. She and Erin were his everything and he didn't want her to be around the witches either. At her vote he let out a chuckle and wrapped an arm around her. “I second that vote. Hell, it's my day off. We can stay there all day.”
---
Mitch nodded his head a little bit, and even though he still didn't feel the most comfortable with Garret's reaction, if they said he wasn't an issue, he would try to believe that. His eyes followed Alex's at his next words. Roland assured them that he wouldn't make a dumbass comment to the girl. Mitch didn't have time to stop himself from letting out a quiet scoff. That was kind of Roland’s specialty.
Tiffany smiled at Drake when he said he would stay over at her house. She had a few of his shirts clean there, but she nodded not questioning it, before kissing his cheek. She watched with Drake as Willow helped Sal up and out of the cottage before they headed out too.
Mitch gave Alex a small wave back. “Nice meeting you too.”
Logan nodded a bit as Alex told them to be careful. He was really happy that Billie seemed to wait a bit before they left now.
Jo had really hoped that when the walk home was quiet that she had managed to avoid a fight. However, as soon as Drake had left and her sisters and Sal were inside, Alex started to speak to her again. She sighed a bit as she turned to look at him. “It would have just worried you. You would have wanted to walk me back and forth from work. Or worse, want me to quit my job. All over something that happened once.” She answered trying to keep her voice calm though she frowned at the little tongue clicky thing he did when he was pissed.
Her eyes fell to the ground for a moment at his reply, he was right, she supposed. Being her boyfriend Alex did have the right to walk her to and from work, but she liked taking the walk alone. It made her feel make like she at home to walk through the woods alone, it was her time. She opened her mouth to tell him, he was right. Then his tone raised when he brought up if something had happened. Did he really think she hadn't say anything about this to anyone, she knew better than that. “I did tell someone Alex! I’m not an idiot.” She said her tone raising as well. “We had a plan, just because I didn't tell and worry you doesn't mean I didn't let someone know. Fuck Alex.” Her arms crossed in front of her chest as she glared at him a little bit. This was the reason she didn't want to tell him at first.
The frown on her face turned up into a small smile when he said he loved her, she couldn't help it, though she fought to force it away. Soon her frown changed from one of anger to one of guilt. She did know that, she knew he was overprotective because he loved and cared about her, and she tried to remind herself of that, she really did, her eyes went back to the ground. “I wasn't trying to put anything over your eyes.” She said before looking up and seeing Alex walk away, no he needed to stay so they could work this out, he didn't even give her a chance to explain.
“Alex.” She started to follow him but stopped herself after a few steps, no she had learned that following him when he walked away wasn't a good idea. What was more annoying was that he knew how much it pissed her off when he just walked away. “Alexander! Ugh fine what the fuck ever then!” She yelled after him as she watched him go to his house and Drake start towards her house to stay the night with Tiff.
She avoided looking at him as he went inside, she didn't want to talk to him, she wanted to talk to Alex but he was being an ass. With an annoyed sigh she sat on the steps of the front porch feeling a slight wetness in her eyes, she wasn't ready to really to go inside yet.
---
Tiff nodded a bit when Sal said that he was alright, she was glad that he alright other than his head hurting and aura sense being off. “If you want, I could use my dust to make it better.” She offered before he brought up the fighting outside and she sighed a bit shaking her head. “No, it isn't. But you can't blame him. What she did was stupid.”
She looked up as the door opened and smiled a little when she saw Drake, and when he sound something about waiting a few moments she nodded. “That sounds good to me.” She answered before looking towards the stairs. “I really wish they were wide enough I could just fly up them.”
After moment Willow returned with a few cups and handed two of them to Tiff and Drake. “It's kind of late for your bread Tiff so we’ll do it tomorrow.” She said getting a small nod, before she placed a cup of tea in Sal’s hands. “Its peppermint, it should help with your headache sweetie.” She told him before she sat on the couch beside him and sighed a bit closing her eyes. Really she was quite tired, by now she would already be in bed normally.
The sound of cabinets opening and slamming in the kitchen could be heard, Jo having came in through the back door. A few seconds she came out of the kitchen holding a bottle of flavored rum she had kept here for Alex. If everyone else could drink when they were sad, than she damn sure could too!
“I need to talk to you, Jo..” Tiff started but stopped when Jordyn glared at her, her eyes showing sparkling bits of yellow and were puffy from crying.
“If either of you want to chew my ass out than then do it in the mother fucking morning because I don't give a shit.” She snapped before she continued before opening the bottle as she walked towards her room.
Tiff started to get up before she felt a hand on her arm and looked at Willow. “Just leave her alone Tiff. She's already upset, and we're all too tired to be kept up from you fighting.”
Tiff rolled her eyes and took her arm from Willow. “Fine whatever.” She huffed before looking at Drake. “Come on babe, let's go to bed.” She said her hand reaching out and playing a bit with Sal’s hair before she started up the stairs, glancing back to see if Drake was coming. She could hear Willow helping Sal up so they could go to bed too. Once they got up to her room she yawned as she walked across the room, stripping out of her clothes as she walked.
“You know, I feel bad that Alex and Jo fought. But she was stupid not to tell anyone about that.” She said, as she dug through her dresser and she slipped the oversized Joker shirt she stole from Drake. “I don't care if it was just a normal mindless husk, I would have at least told you.” She added sitting on her bed.

Logan glanced at Billie when she told the others they would be in touch soon, before giving them a quick wave as he and Billie headed out the door and away from the cottage. Honestly his mind was still on both of the offers Lia had given tonight when Billie spoke to him again, and he just kind of smiled a bit nodding. “Alright, you don't smell bad though.” Though she smelt a bit like dried blood missed into her normal scent, and being a blood drinker, it was probably why.
When she put her head on his shoulder, he wrapped the arm around her before looking at her. The redheaded girl was the one that bothered him the most honestly, though the guy breaking into him and Clary’s house was worrisome, Drake had handled him and if he hadn't Logan would have once he was inside. The redhead had been tailing Garret and been the reason Erin went back to Ireland, before she started tailing Billie. Worst yet was that she seemingly just disappeared.
He shook his head a bit at the Jordyn thing. “I’ve just really hoping we stayed back long enough to miss that fight altogether.” He said before letting out a sigh. “Honestly, I’m not really against the idea of staying there. But I worry that we might end up loring the hunters to their group as well.”
Once they got back to our block he stopped by Clary and his house, he could hear the muffled noise of whatever movie the girls were watching in the living room. He checked the front and back door quickly before coming back to Billie and headed to her house. He could hear the radio when Billie opened the door, and followed her in the kitchen, leaning on the door frame as he listened to Alex. He sighed a little bit, but honestly, he had been kind of expecting this.
Logan smiled a little at Billie as she kissed his cheek, he watched her for a moment as she headed towards the stairs, moving a bit to follow her but stopped himself and looked at Alex still cradling his head.
Maybe he could talk to Alex and still have time to join Billie in the shower? No, when was talking about things with Alex quick? Logan couldn't just leave him in the middle of talking either. He could be quick in the shower, and back to talk to Alex. Though….when was that kind of thing quick with Billie?One could say he enjoyed her a little too much.
His eyes looked to Billie halfway up the stairs, and sighed before walking into the kitchen. He poured himself a glass of the vodka, keeping it in his hand as he sat down at the table across from Alex. “Come on man, it couldn't be that bad. I’m sure you guys will make up in the morning right?” He said hearing the bathroom door shut upstairs. “It isn't like you guys having fought before.”
---
Mitch couldn't help but relax a little more as Billie and Logan left, it was nothing against them, they were both very nice. However, a lot of people being in their house was something that made him uncomfortable. The more people in one place, the more likely they were to draw hunters. Though….his eyes glanced at Lia’s back, it seemed that he was going to have to get used to that.
Kat frowned a bit as Aless got up from in front of her, but she watched for a moment as her sister started towards her room before feeling hands on her shoulders. She tilted her head back to look at her mom as she rubbed her shoulders and nods. “Yeah, I’ll help.” She whispered back smiling a bit at the kiss on the head. After Lia headed back toward her room, Kat grabbed what was left of her coffee took it into the kitchen.
“You've been quiet, what do you think? Think we can trust them enough to have them stay here?” Mitch asked when it was finally just him and Atticus in the room. As much as he loved Lia, Atticus was just as protective of their girls as Mitch was, he often had the same concerns as him. Not the mention Atticus was like a brother to him, and he trusted him like one. It sometimes helped his nerves to get his opinions.
After a few moments Kat came back into the living room to catch the last of the conversation and rolled her eyes. “I think they were nice, I like them.”
She heard Mitch sigh a little. “I didn't say I didn't like them, there is just a lot of them. Large groups make things difficult.” Mitchell said softly before he shook his head and headed back the hall.
Kat shook her head again watching him walk away. She really didn't get the reason Mitch had such a big thing about big groups, it seemed the larger the number, the higher the chance of making it through a hunter attack was. Kat sighed after a bit and wrapped her arms around Atticus’ shoulders from behind. “I’m going to take a shower before I help mom and um….” She blushed a bit. “if you want to save water, you're welcome to. Your choice.” She finished before kissing his cheek and heading to her room to grab some clothes.
---
Normally if Lia was in the bedroom before he went in, he would give a small knock just in case she was changing. However, she left the door open and when he peeked in she was sitting down on the bed.
He walked in and started looking through his closet for something that didn't smell like hunter blood, his blood, and rumble to changing into. When Lia said something to him and he kind of looked over his shoulder for a moment before looking in his closet. “You should do the tablecloths blue since the back of the chairs are going to be gray.” Mitch said grabbed a shirt out of the closet before going to the dresser and grabbing some pants. “Maybe blue or white flowers on the tables too.” He added before heading into their bathroom.
---
Eli looked at Rhi when she said that she grew up with Axel, as if expecting her say more, but when she didn't he simply nodded. When Rhi apologized about not telling him about the bomb he didn't really say nothing more. It wasn't worth stressing over, and as much as it had bothered him being out of the loop, there wasn't anything to be done about it now.
He nodded a bit hearing her mumble about the zombies. “If that were the cause it least we wouldn't have to worry about it coming back her done.” He said, one of the few things he listened from his mother. Eli could feel her look at him when he asked about the bomb before she started talking. A slight smile coming to his lips as he listened to her, he knew a lot of people found her talking about it bored people, but he oddly found it interesting.
Eli watched Rhi shoot the guys body twice and smiled a bit hearing Tara say that she liked Rhi, and she even was nice. Even if she did tell Rhi that he talked about her. It wasn't, all the time or anything…..just when he told the story about his first hunt away from his parents group. Or when he had Tara test out his bullets, but Rhi had tested out about the first dozen bullets he had tried, he even made a exploding bullet for…..with her help.
Eli nodded a bit as Rhi said Tara didn't seem as bad as Taylor said she was. “Well, she and Taylor butt heads a lot. She isn't as bad if she likes you. Plus she likes gun people.” He said before glancing at Rhi. “She has been known to shoot people she doesn't like.”
Eli nodded a bit letting out a sigh of his own. “Yeah, I know. It was probably high hopes to get a few of them. But now we have to worry about the weak ones we got, and the heavy hitters that they might have been surrounding themselves with.” He said as he glanced over some bodies, before letting a curt chuckle out. “Honestly, a lot more of them would have made it if they had been smart enough to.”
“Or maybe not.” He muttered as he glanced down at two bodies he recognized, before looking back at Rhi and walked over to look at the body she was looking at. “Oh good, that was the one that was hunting in town.” Eli said marking a name out of his book. “On downside, we have a couple newbie hunters that shot each other over there.”
Eli nodded a bit. “I don't know what she does exactly, but I know it's bad enough not to even want to fuck with her.” He said as he moved on to some bodies that were piled on top of eachother. “Hey Rhi, we got vampire elder here.” He said actually a little impressed that they got an elder of all things, before making a face and looking at his notes. “So, she’s not even on here either. This one isn't from our area.”
This part of the mall turned out to be where quite a far of their targets, and honestly it made Eli worry a bit less about the target that would now be on their back. They had ended up finding the male alpha that went with female, though he had clearly put up a fight and it made them have to shoot a few bodies. Four or five vampires that were in a coven off of the main one here. Only two demons, they had been weak ones that were more of an annoyance. Lastly there were three witches along with their familiars, none of which were with the Death Witch.
Eli let out a sigh as they got to the last the of the bodies. “Was it to much to hope would be more creatures dead then our own?” He said shaking his head slowly before looking at Rhi.
---
Tara turned to look at the person talking to her, only to have to look up and she let out a small laugh. “Yup! Wow, she wasn't joking about knowing you when I saw you huh?” She said and looking him over a bit when he talked to who she guessed was Charlotte. She would have to stand on a cooler to be taller than him. She looked around a bit, was there a cooler around here? She wanted to try it.
Charlotte frowned a bit but nodded slowly, getting off the bed and using it to get her balance before Kenny looked from her to Kyp. “He went to clear rumble.”
Tara frowned a bit. “He didn't ask you dude so shh..”
Charlotte rolled her eyes a little before she headed off to find Emmett. Who was helping Dumbass.
Tara smiled a bit at Kyp when he asked her name before laughing. “I’m Tara, I’m from Eli’s main group. I keep him from shooting himself.” She offered her hand. “And I will only answer to tiny lady if you answer to gigantor.” She added.
Tara took the notebook that Kyp handed her and smiled a bit at the dumbasses beside the names. “Oh! That would explain why she looks all girly, got ya!” She said looking up at Kyp for a moment before back at the notebook. “Do you know what parts she has already looked through?” She asked.
It wasn't very long before Charlotte came back with a slightly pissed off looking guy she guessed was Emmet and she looked up at Kyp. “Okay, anyone else we’re supposed to get?” She asked and where he answered she nodded.
Once they started to head off she looked up at Kyp at poked him softly before whispering. “If that guy keeps giving me that dirty look, can I shoot him? Or is that one of those things that's not okay at the moment?”
