Ayrn Willems: She could not help but feel like a little kid on Christmas morning. She was nearly jittering and shaking and kept waiting for her antics to wake Erixic and for him to be grumpy and to tell her to get some sleep. Sleep was overrated and she knew that she did not need much to fuel her. It was only an hour until they were set to leave for the flight anyways, when they had gone to bed it had been 10 pm and their flight was a red eyed flight scheduled for 4:00 am meaning that they would have to be on their way to the airport at 2:00am to make sure that they were able to check in and get through security. It had been awhile since she had heard or seen anything from Dillon so she was beginning to get a little nervous, though she knew that he would not try anything on the flight since it was too public of a place, the only reason she had agreed to allow them to fly to the cruise. Instead of staying in bed and hindering the sleep of her lover she gently placed her feet on the ground and got to her feet. The entire apartment was completely silent and slightly eerie. She knew that she had everything in order and all three of them had placed their packed luggage in front of the door before they had agreed that they should get a little sleep to ensure that they would be a little rested and have clear heads for the drive to the airport. They needed to be prepared for the unexpected. Cairo was already with Damien and gone from the apartment and she already found herself missing the dog. Hip was leaned against the counter as she debated what to do for the next hour to keep herself entertained. She then ended up turning the tv on and watching some late night special on a group of people that were real like ghost busters and looked through all of the most haunted placed in the universe any other time she would be too delirious to even put up with the show though tonight it caught her attention enough to occupy her for half the time that she needed to waste. The next half an hour was spent making coffee and sitting on the tall bar stool in the kitchen with her chin resting on her hands with a small sigh staring off into the distance at the clock as the tick tock of the hands seemed to ring out in the empty space. Many times she debated just waking the man up and announcing that it was time for them to go but she was too polite for that until it was actually time and she bounded off into their room. Ripping the blankets free from his sleeping form and flicking the light switch on before crawling up next to him and resting her head against his chest and poking him gently in the rib cage. Time to wake up sleepy head, its time to go to the airport. As soon as he had grumbled a response she then walked to Pirzis room knocking on the door and was suprised when the girl jumped to her feet and was awake within a matter of moments. It had been a tense last couple of months and they needed this trip badly. Once they had all gathered in the living room she took a last scan of the room to make sure that nothing was being left behind though she knew that in the end they would have ended up forgetting one thing or another. She did not mind though since she was determined to not allow anything to bother her. Ready? She asked the two of them before stepping out of the door and finding that in the hallway there was one of those trolley things that you use to carry your luggage in hotels. On the side was a note from Damien. She passed her keys to Erixic to lock the door while reading the note that just told them that he would take good care of Cairo and miss them and to have a good trip.
Pirzi Duval: The sleep did not last long before Ayrn was at her door and telling her that it was time to leave. She felt as though she had barely even just put her head down on the pillow so therefore was awake and jumped up remembering that they were going on vacation tonight and she was excited. She pulled a hoody over her tank top and stepped out into the living room watching as Ayrn looked around before then ushering them towards the elevator with their luggage. She managed two of her bags and placed them on the trolley when they opened the door. When Ayrn asked if they were ready she nodded with a small smile. Of course. She stated before pushing the trolley into the elevator and holding the door open for the other two. Once they were in she stood against the back wall with a small yawn parting her jaws. She knew that Taelix and his mother would be waiting for them in the lobby since it was silly of them to take and leave more then one car at the airport and she knew that Damien would be picking up the car the next day since she had been there on Friday when all the arrangements were made. The mother and son were already in the lobby with their bags when they arrived and a small smile danced across features. Stepping into line with Taelix. Good morning. She said with a small chuckle. They continued their trek to the basement where the trolley was parked alongside the SUV since it would be able to carry the largest amount of luggage and passengers. Leaving the guys to do their work and put the suitcases in the back she rolled the trolley back to where the rest of them were sitting before climbing into the back seat of the SUV and fastening her seatbelt. Ayrn then turned back to them all adressing all of them. Starbucks or Tim Hortons on the way? She asked. When the destination had been decided they pulled through the drivethru in which Ayrn paid, insisting that it was her treat for booking such a late and horrible flight. Now the morning seemed a little better as she was sitting in the car holding the cup of steaming hazelnut coffee and staring out into the darkness as the town and parts of the city she had never seen before were flying by. Resting her head against the frigid glass of the window she then stepped out of the car when they arrived at the airport. Already eyes then landed on the carts that would carry their luggage to the airline. Jogging to the carts she grabbed one for them and jogged back. Waiting for it to be loaded and then passing it to Taelix for him to push it. Security passed easily and they were in the gates fifteen minutes before the flight. Grabbing her ticket from Ayrn she found that she was sitting in a different row than the other two. With her luck she would be stuck beside the only crying baby on the flight. When she sat though she took the window seat that had been assigned to her only to look up and spot that it was Taelix and his mother that ended up sitting beside her. Oh thank goodness. I was convinced I was going to have to sit beside the only screaming baby on the flight. The airplane was soon up in the air though unlike the rest of the flights she had been on the lights in the aisleway were the only lights that were on and it was nearly completely dark. She found that she was relaxed enough that she leaned her chair back as far as it would allow and closed her eyes with one of the disposable pillows she had been handed.
Dario Lombardi: Strangely enough even though this was a mission in which he was to serve a purpose he was rather excited to get away from the town and be with the girl of his dreams on a vacation. The other blood sucker, the one that he had spent the last week researching and finding the jail in which he was being housed would be a mere obstacle that would be crossed as soon as it was possible so that for the rest of the trip they would be able to act as if it was nothing more then a vacation and enjoy themselves since he did not know how many times he would get to take the girl away somewhere like this since she was so tied to the tribe. He hoped that this little incident though would make her realize that they were cutthroat and their morals did not always tend to be the most fair. She did not fit in there, she was morally correct and loving and caring, anyone that could threaten to take away someones mate was nothing like her. He turned to the girl with a small smile. I think we should stay up until the flight, a movie perhaps? He did not wait for her reply before then turning the TV on and flipping through the channels settling on a Christmas movie, which seemed to be the first of the season called Home Alone. The comedy was enough to cause the male to chuckle a few times at the silly traps that the little kid set to deter the burgalars. With a small smile he pulled her closer until she was then on his lap kissing her cheek. Once the movie was over it was time to leave for the airport. All their bags were gathered and brought to the car and the car was started before then heading down the steps grabbing her hand and leading her in the direction of the driveway pausing to lock the doors. He started the car and opened the passengers door for her before backing down the driveway and onto the main road and headed to the airport in order to catch the flight. When they entered the building he pulled her to the side before they would pass through the security. To be on an airplane you have to have a passport. Luckily I have contacts. He said with a small smile passing her a passport that had her photo in it. Looking completely authentic and no one thought anything of it as they passed through the gates and onto the plane. He held her hand as they took their seats knowing she might be a little nervous at the fact that would be thousands of feet in the air within a couple moments.

Erixic Matthews| For what had to be the tenth time within that hour, the man woke to the movements of the woman beside him in the bed. Groaning he shot her a quick glare before rolling over away from her onto his stomach and then pulled the pillow over his head. Why she had even come bed with him was beyond the bloke's ability to comprehend at that moment. All she had done that entire time was toss and turn; waking him up at the most inconvenient times because he had just happened to be on the verge of the deep sort of sleep that only served to refresh him further and he wanted to be in the best state possible before they left the hotel room. If Dillon decided to try and make his move before they even reached the plane, Erixic wanted to be ready to fight and possibly win instead of loose because he was too slow from lack of sleep. Sighing, the man again closed his eyes once the mattress had stilled and tried to regain the state of mind he had been in before her disruption, but more restless behavior caused him to pull the pillow off of his head and push his torso up with strong arms so wide open steel depths to land on the woman. Much to his relief, and disappointment, the maiden had picked the smartest choice available to her and was now getting out of the bed and heading into the living room. As much as the drake wanted sleep, there was an urge that tugged on his insides the further away his lover walked from him. He always slept best when she was there beside him and besides that at this point in time he was not too comfortable leaving her alone for any length of time even if it was in the place where they lived. Nowhere was safe by his standards, but he forced himself to weigh the options and getting some more sleep would benefit them more than curling up on the couch with her to watch some TV before they had to leave. Without her there to stop him, the lord stretched out, utilizing as much of the king sized mattress that he could with his body and fell quickly to sleep, intent on getting as much as he could before the alarm at the bedside went off. The next thing he knew, the room was flooded with light and the warmth he had been wrapped up in while in slumber was taken from him, leaving the male to jerk his hand up to cover his eyes as he opened them slightly to see the culprit and rolled over onto his back. Damn it. Ayrn.... The wafting of her scent into his nostrils confirmed what he had already guessed, but the irritation he felt was defused the instant the familiar feel of her warm skin brushed against his chest. Smile broke out across features when her finger poked him in the side and his torso shifted away from the feeling, chuckles emitting as arm fell from his face to wrap around her waist. Hmmm. Was all the reply procured to her announcement of it being time to leave, but when she started to shrink away from him, the baron called his other arm into action to hold her against him, mischievous grin meeting the look she was sure to shoot at him. Don't I get my good morning kiss? I need it if I'm going to wake up. Vocals teased just before the man showered kisses upon her features, starting with her nose and ending with her lips. Once finished with the lavishing, he let her go to wake up the teenager while he got out of bed and dressed, taking the luggage they had both packed the day before out of their bedroom and to the kitchen beside the door. Once there, he poured himself some of the coffee from the pot he assumed Ayrn had made during the time she was awake and waited for the girls to join him. They did not take long to get going and once he and Pirzi nodded at the elder lady's "ready?" the group was headed out the door with the drake, naturally, being the last to walk through the doorway with luggage. Grin broadened when he saw the trolley waiting for them in the hallway and he took all of their things and loaded it up, silently thanking Damien for the help. After everything was loaded on, he took the keys from his lover and locked the door then followed them to the elevator. He greeted the mother and son pair down in the lobby with a hug for the female and a hand shake for the boy and nodded when they told him the other planned on meeting them at the airport. Keeping his eyes peeled and lips shut, the man watched their surroundings as they moved down to the basement and the loading dock where their car was waiting. Only after everyone and everything was loaded in did he climb into the driver’s seat and start the car so they could get on their way. He drove to the place of popular choice so they could all get some sustenance before continuing to the airport. They met the other two pack members in the parking lot, and then walked into the building and towards their gate as a group. Thankfully the shifter was not a nervous flyer and with the trip starting without mishap, he was even further relaxed thanks to relief. He and Ayrn got seat diagonally behind Pirzi and the Jansen duo with the other two pack members in the seats across the aisle from them with one stranger in both of their triple groups. Once seated, Erix took his lover's hand and brought it up to his lips to kiss before letting their interlocked fingers drag her arm down to the rest with his while he smiled at her.
Taelix Jansen• The boy woke up to his mother gently shaking his shoulder and telling him it was time to get out of bed. Without complaint, he sat up and yawned; stretching his back and arms before moving to stand and retrieve the black Underarmor sweats and gray Nike long sleeve shirt from his desk chair that he had laid out the night before. After dressing and putting on his tennis shoes, he grabbed the duffle bag of clothes at the end of his bed and headed out of his bedroom door to meet his mom in the kitchen. She was looking very concentrated, looming over her checkbook and mouthing words without speaking. After noticing the worried way she bit her lower lip, the lad dropped his bag beside her luggage silently, he moved up and gave her a big hug which she returned with as much force as he put into it. We'll be ok mom. Erixic will take care of us. He always did. She nodded against his chest then sucked in a loud sniffle before pulling away to wipe away the tears of worry that had started to fall. The male's stomach churned and like always, anger at his father for deserting them rose up in a strong wave of emotion that stirred his animal even this early in the morning when the beast was usually still in slumber. Breathing became a little heavier and to disguise it from his mother, Taelix turned away and picked up both of their things to walk closer to take them out to the car. Once outside, his breath came out of his mouth in heavy smoke and the cold helped to ease his hot temper as did slamming the car's trunk once the luggage was packed safely away. Deciding it was useless to return inside, the bloke leaned up against the passenger side and waited for his mom to come out of the house, lock the door then get in the car so they could be on their way to the hotel where they were to meet up with Erixic, Ayrn, and Pirzi. Spirits lifted at the thought of seeing the girl again and being on this trip with her. If there was ever a perfect chance to try and convince her that he would be a better boyfriend than that punk Revikr, he would be amazed if it opened up to him. Taelix was determined to convince her that he at least deserved a chance to prove himself to her and although he was not the type to present the idea bluntly, he hoped that spending time together as just friends would be enough to push her in that direction. Surely she knew already that he wanted more than just friendship with her. Thankfully, it did not take long to get to the hotel because he was already jittery sitting still. The plane ride would not be fun with him in this state. They climbed out of the car where they parked it in the parking lot for the next week and headed towards the lobby to wait on their traveling partners. Once they were all together and the hellos had been exchanged, then they moved to the car waiting for them where he helped Pirzi load up the back before climbing in to sit between her and his mother in the second row of seats. Smiling, he glanced over at her before leaning back and pushing his legs forward to relax. Sighing, eyes closed until they pulled up to the store where he then told them his order before sitting up to drink and eat what they gave him by the time they got to the airport parking lot. He got out with the girl and helped her to load up the luggage cart that she had retrieved and laughed when she handed it over for him to push. He hung at the back of the group with the cart and just when they made it into the building and past the luggage drop off, he took his backpack off the top and slug it over his shoulder for the carry on. Security was no problem and before he knew it he was climbing into a seat beside Pirzi, leaving her the window with his mother taking the aisle. The backpack went to the floor under his seat after he got out his iTouch and headphones then turned to look at Pirzi. I've got some movies saved on here. Want to watch some with me during the flight? Without waiting for her answer, he passed her the iTouch so she could look at what he had.
Bricaza Black* Long ebony locks bounced as the damsel shook her head in the affirmative motion in response to his question before body moved to settle in front of the TV, scooting closer to his so the warmth of her body met with the hard marble of his muscles. She remained quiet mostly throughout the movie; giggling only occasionally or gasping when something happened that surprised her although she tried to hide the sound from her lover. It amused her, however, to hear his laughter and feel his chest move each time he released the sound from his chest. Despite herself, she could not help but glance lovingly up at him occasionally when this happened, loving the way the lights from the screen played across the planes and grooves of his face. It was an addictive sight and because she was not really paying attention to the movie, she could not help but to keep glancing back up at him. Finally her head was allowed to rest against his shoulder and her left hand rose to settle upon his chest. From there, the damsel had a perfect view of the ring upon her third finger that the man had just recently given to her for her acceptance of his proposal of marriage. A thrill ran through her body again at the thought. To be married to him would be something she could look forward to coming back home for. The vacation was a perfect escape from her typical world right now and before the man had asked her to marry him there had been nothing here that she had to come back to except for her duty to the tribe. The news of their engagement had yet to be shared, but she hoped that perhaps her parents would not be too opposed to the match that they refused to be there and participate in the traditional carrying ons of marriage. Sure, they had not been there for her for many years, but like every little girl she still wanted her father to walk her down the aisle and give her away to the husband of her dreams and for her mother to stand near to the front with tears rolling down her cheeks. Sadly, Bricaza was almost completely convinced that this was only a fantasy that could not come true. Sadness crept into her heart at a time where she should be feeling nothing but bliss. Thankfully, the lover beside her drew her from her thoughts and depression when he pulled her closer and pressed a kiss to her cheek. Grinning, the girl sat up and wrapped her arms around his neck, staring into the familiar amber depths for a while before head was tucked into his shoulder and neck junction with nose pressed against the tendon to the front of his neck. Before she knew it, the movie was over and he was coaxing her into a stand, causing nervous jitters to gather in her stomach. Never had she been off the land; not in a boat or in a plane and imagining what could happen caused more worry than was necessary. Sure, she trusted Dario would keep her safe, but could he protect her from a large metal machine hurtling towards the earth because man's creations had failed to keep it afloat in the air. They moved towards the door with her helping as much as he would allow her to with the luggage that they took to the car before getting in themselves. With her hand that was engulfed in his, she squeezed lightly, offering a nervous looking smile before turning her attention to the sights that could be seen out of the foggy window as they drove. They parked in a lot full of cars and she got out after he did, worriedly fidgeting her hands while he got the luggage out and put it on the cart. Moving to his side, the vixen quickly looped her arm in his and clung to his side while they moved into the building that held a bigger group of people than she had ever seen in her life. Thankfully, he did not need her help with much and after they got their tickets they moved towards a long line that was a bit daunting. Before they joined the line however, he pulled her aside and showed her the papers that he had procured for them. Taking hers, she lifted shaky orbs to meet his gaze and smile weakly. While in the line, she opened her papers and read the name that had been assigned to her, glancing over at his to see his alias that she could read on the back of his papers. Genuine grin broke out across her facade and she ducked her head to hide it against his arm when she noticed that he had made their last names the same. Really no one would have guessed what a sweet, caring man her fiancé was. Unfortunately, as they made their way through security, they were forced to be separated. The girl checking Bri's paperwork noticed her nervous state and offered a reassuring smile before asking if it was her first time flying. Sheepishly, the lass nodded then thanked her when the maiden told her not to worry that everything would work smoothly. Once she was through security, she quickly moved to grasp her lover's arm as they moved to their gate and did not let go even once they sat down in their seats. Fingers interlaced with his while lids closed and the essa fought to control her breathing. It was overwhelming, but knowing that Dario was there beside her and was not going to leave her was calming.

Post by Ayrn on Dec 5, 2010 22:46:51 GMT -5
Ayrn Willems: She was able to sense his frustrations and to be honest she did not blame him she was jittery and excited and ready to finally go away on a trip even if it was to do with her past. So finally she did not allow herself to bother him further and moved out of the room to bide her time alone in the living room, not even Cairo was there to curl up on the end of the couch with her. Luckily though it seemed like time was passing so quickly and it was time to wake them up, as she moved back into the bedroom he glared at her when she turned all the lights on and pulled the covers from him. He then stated that he would only get up if she gave him a good morning kiss, eyes were rolled as lips were then pressed quickly to his cheek before jumping back to her feet and wandering out of the room to wake Pirzi up. The girl seemed more then ready as she bounced out of bed and was ready and waiting at the door in a matter of minutes and soon they were on their way down the elevator in silence since the three of them had not really woken up and it was nighttime a time where they were supposed to be sleeping and she could sense a little tension and perhaps a little grumpiness. She would not push her luck with the male since she wanted this trip to start out well. When they met the two in the lobby they were right on time if not a bit early and stopped at a local Starbucks before then reaching the airport and learning that the one nice thing about a flight at this time of the night was that there was no line up for security of baggage check and they passed through the gates in record time before being allowed to load up onto the plane. The seats in the plane were comfortable enough and she put it back as far as it would allow before then looking out the window to the lights of the city. The lights never turning on for a flight like this, she was fine with flying in fact she found it rather relaxing since there was nothing to worry about for the next number of hours since there was no where to go and nothing that could be changed from this high in the air. So it allowed her to let her mind go blank. She realized how quiet she was being and turned to Erixic with a small smile. Resting her head on the males shoulder. We needed this. She told him. It had been a rollercoaster ride, the last six months between them burying themselves in work and getting back together and her adopting Pirzi and making a new home in the hotel and other things. They needed the time to just relax even though she knew that there would be ulterior motives. She would not let that be up to Erixic though, that was why she had called Dario, the man that they had met at Hitari, the one who had found her the night of her attack. He specialized in things like this and promised he would do all that he could. As fingers were interlocked with his a small smile appeared on lips as fingers were brought closer to his face to be kissed before falling beside him. About an hour into the flight a person brought around a cart and asked if they would like anything she nodded and accepted an orange juice that was placed in the small cup holder of the tray that folded down from the back of the seat in front of her. Legs were stretched out in front of her and crossed at the ankles as she leaned back against the chair. From a couple seats back she could see a glow that came from where Taelix and Pirzi were seated and a small grumble was made. I wish I had that idea, they are sitting there watching movies. She said with mock jealousy though she knew that within moments she would fall into a light slumber and she needed her rest. Knowing and trusting that Erixic was around allowed her eyes to close and for her body to surrender to the temptations that sleep brought. When eyes snapped open it was still dark but she could sense that a lot of time had passed. It was then that the announcer came on the PA system and told them that they would be landing in Fiji within the hour. He had thought that she had been jittery the night before, now she was nearly shaking though she waited patiently for the time to be announced that they were allowed to exit the air craft. It was strange starting to fly somewhere in the dark and arriving there for it to still be dark. She knew that this was just because of the time change though and that they would be leaving in the morning for the cruise. She did not want to risk flying in on the same day in case their flight was delayed so they would have to stay in a hotel for the night. She had booked a room in one of the busy ones that were within the airport. She was one of the first people to stand and she took Erix's hand and lead them int he direction of the door with Pirzi and that group right behind her. When they met in the lobby she looked up to see one of the clocks to see what time it was there. It was 7 pm and she had asked Dario what time his flight would be getting in and it would not be for another hour. Why don't we go get checked into the rooms. Then at 9pm we will meet and everyone can meet the other two people coming on the trip. When they approached the lobby she was given two keys handing one key to the mother and son before taking the other key for themselves. What she did not know was that they were ajoined rooms until they arrived on the floor and noticed a door between the two of them brow raised slightly but she placed her bags down and then turned back to Pirzi and Erix.
Pirzi Duval:
The drive to the airport seemed to fly by since she was only half way awake so when she arrived on the airplane she was already starting to feel a little drowsy though she was being kept awake by the excitement of the trip ahead. When she sat in the back of the car with Taelix a lot of her attention was turned to the outside world as a small sigh passed through her lips. Once they were on the plane she was debating how she was going to entertain herself for the next hours when Taelix had stuffed his bags beneath the seat and pulle d out an Itouch telling her that he had movies stored on it and asking her if she would like to watch them with him. You are a lifesaver. I was just thinking of how I was going to entertain myself for the rest of this flight when I realized that it had not even started yet. She was a little nervous about flying so when the plane started to move and speed up in order to take off she was gripping the arm rest of the seat with a death grip though that was the only signal of her nervousness and she was fine once they were in the air. When she was busy watching a movie that her and Taelix had picked she caught Ayrn's eye and the older girl shot her a moch death glare obviously bored and not having thought of Taelix's ingenius plan. She was huddled pretty close to be able to see the small screen and kept shifting around to keep the blood flowing in her extremities. A long flight was made much shorter when they arrived and they had passed a lot of the time watching movies on the way there. She stood when Ayrn did even though she was not going to be able to move until Taelix and his mother did and stretched her arms above her head with a small yawn. They stepped off the plane and into a busy airport even though it was in the evening for the people of Fiji, it was hot enough that she stripped out of her jacket and was left in just a t-shirt and even her jeans were too warm. Perfect for a vacation at this time of the year. Ayrn announced that they would be checking into the hotel and then they would meet the other two that she had been told about at 9pm when their flight got in. She made her way up to the room to follow Ayrn and Erix and noticed that the rooms were ajoined. She settled on the bed. I noticed they had a pool want to go swimming? She asked. Ayrn looked up to her. Why don't you and Taelix go I am sure he would love to join you. She could see how this was going to be a moved off with a small sigh. Though she used the key that had been left on the table to unlock the door between the two rooms with a knock. I am going swimming, would you like to come Taelix? Knowing that he would not say no since they did not have much other way to pass the time she stepped back into her room changing into her bathing suit and putting a tank top and pair of shorts over top before then grabbing a towel. Have fun. Ayrn called out to her as she stepped into the hallway to wait to see if Taelix was going to come with her. What better way to kick off a vacation like this than to go swimming?
Dario Lombardi:
The movie seemed to fly by and the time closed in that they would need to be headed out for the flight. He knew how dangerous this man that he was dealing with was and he was already hating that he had agreed to 'take care of it.' This could very well be the last thing that he dealt with which he would not have cared about, but now with the girl that he asked to marry him she meant too much for him to allow this to be his demise. She was snuggled up close to him on the couch and he could feel her eyes on him most of the time but did not mind and there was a coy smile pressed to his lips as the TV was turned off and he stepped up from the couch grabbing her hand and assisting her to her feet as well. The car was parking in a long term parking spot and the fee was paid at the entrance to the airport before they moved on into the large building. She was gripping his arm which he did not mind and fingers were grasping her hand and running soothing circles over the back of her hand. She looked a little nervous. You will be fine. I promise. He stated the words soothingly to her whispering them into her ear as they passed through security and everything was running smoothly and she joined him on the other side. The male since he had lived for so long had many aliases though this time he had used his own since he would be able to pass off as a very distant relative. They boarded the plane and he kept his grip on her arm and took their seat about halfway back. Do you want the window seat or the middle seat? He asked her before then sitting down after she had decided. Arm was draped around the back of her seat as the plane started to move. Its going to feel weird in a minute though it will not last long its just the plane taking off. He assured her and soon enough they were in the sky and the ride was smooth. When the waitress approached them and asked if they wanted anything to drink he turned to the girl. Do you want anything? He asked since he was sure that she would not have heard since the waitress spoke over two of them. Hours later the descent started and the plane was angled downwards. A kiss was pressed to her cheek in order to attempt to distract her though the pilot was good and seemed to be very smooth as the wheels touched and they were on the ground. See I told you we would be fine. He stated gently before taking her hand and walking with her off the plane. They made a stop at the baggage claim where the bags were spat out a large metal chute and he grabbed their respective belongings before heading to the hotel desk in which Ayrn had told him to book with pulling his phone out of his pocket and texting here. We are here, where do you want to meet? He got a response with a room number before he had even picked up their key. We have to meet with the other group tonight, before we leave in the morning. You will like them. They are all shape shifters. They took the elevator to the respective floor and knocked on the door once they reached the top. Ayrn opened the door for them and seemed a little shocked by the girl who stood beside him. Forgive me. I am Ayrn. Sorry I was just expecting Harlen. She stated gently and a small glare was sent with narrowed amber optics towards the girl causing her to fall silent. Harlen left me. A while ago. He stated before passing through the door and ridding his shoes as he came hand still resting on the small of Bri's back. This is Bricaza. He uttered and Ayrn instantly softened. It is very nice to meet you. They gathered at the table in the room and the rest of the group was introduced.

Erixic Matthews| Erixic's gaze had traveled away from the maiden to look out the window at the dark sky whose scarce lights were covered by thick clouds for that night, but the instant she spoke, his attention shifted back to her with a soft, agreeing smile accompanying his anxious gray eyes. Just as he was about to answer, a wave of anxiety washed over his mind quickly and then was gone, causing him to glance across the aisle at the others in his pack who had won the right to come along on the trip. Many in the pack refused to fly, he knew, because their animal balked at the idea and refused to let them take a step onto an airplane, but since he as the alpha had required that they journey along with him, the members had practically no choice. The older shifter seemed perfectly fine, but he was tending to the younger who, having less control, was encountering difficulty reining in the instincts of their beast. To help, the bloke opened his mind more than normal and absorbed some the restless energy. Within seconds, the pack member was more relaxed and leaning his weight comfortably against the seat. Turning back to Ayrn, the man tried to return speech, but upon seeing her eyes closed with head rested trustingly against his shoulder, he found he no longer needed to speak. Although, he did agree with her. The vacation was a very good idea; even if the presence of his pack mates reminded him that they were not going to Fiji for a simple relaxing trip with friends. Sighing, he turned and again looked out the window, knowing he would not be able to sleep on the airplane while the group was so exposed to strangers. When the flight attendant with the cart came by to offer them drinks, he happily accepted a bottle of water that he sipped then placed in the pocket of the seat in front of him. Head tilted where ear was closer to the damsel's lips as she complained of the younger pair's attentiveness to the situation they were in, causing light laughter to fall from his lips before a quick kiss was placed upon her forehead and he turned back to look out the window once again. They both knew she would end up falling asleep because she had been the one to stay up all night so the male therefore did not worry too much about her light-hearted grumbling. Time surprisingly passed by fast to where it surprised the man when the captain came over the intercom to announce their decent. Starting to shift to where he sat more upright in his seat, the lord remembered that there was a person using him for a pillow and looked down to find that she was awake and sitting up as well. Good evening. Offering her a broad smile, the bloke spoke in a voice thick from not being used for many hours and then leaned in to kiss her gently on the mouth. Once landed, they quickly got up as a group and moved from the plane to the baggage claim where they gathered the cargo then headed to the curbside where the bus to the hotel waited to curry them through the airport. After loading the entire luggage, everyone piled in and they were off. Traffic at this airport was not so bad this late at night and they therefore arrived quickly and he along with some of the pack remained outside to unload the luggage while the women went inside to check the reservations. Thankfully, the hotel provided them with one of those luggage carts and they were able to get everything to fit before moving inside and going to their respective rooms. All were on the same floor with his, Ayrn's and Pirzi's next to Taelix's and Haley Ann's and the third room across the hall. Once in their room, he began to unload their luggage and set Pirzi's on her bed while his and Ayrn's went on the same bed. Head lifted when the younger girl asked if anyone was interested in swimming then he nodded encouragement at his lover's suggestion. Once the teenager had left, Erix moved closer to his woman, letting arms encircle her waist to pull her tighter against him while he bent his crown to kiss her. So are you going to tell me who these mystery people are that we are meeting? He probed playfully, easily hiding the possessive streak he was feeling in regard to the situation. The grudge against Dillon that had been festering within the drake ever since he got a glimpse of the damage that the damned bloodsucker had done to his mate made it difficult for the dog to let loose of his prey when it was so close. Regardless of what anyone else thought of, Dillon would be Erixic's to take care of: a point that the shifter would not budge on. Before the dame got the chance to answer however, there was a knock upon their door with the voice of Haley Ann asking them if she and the rest of the pack that had come along could come in. Sighing, the duke reluctantly moved away then answered the door and welcomed them in with a sweep of his hand. They lounged around the room as best as they could with the man leaning up against the wall and the other women in the group seating herself upon the floor. "So what's the plan?" The oldest of the group asked with his gaze locked upon Erix. The alpha held the look for a few seconds silently before the other dropped the challenge and allowed him to relax. "Sorry. I've got to test you so you don't forget." Shaking his head, the man brushed it aside then glanced over at Ayrn before turning back to his pack. We board the cruise boat in the morning and highly anticipate our vampire to make his move at one of the stop off destinations where there will be fewer witnesses. The objective is the same as always: quick work; low casualties and no witnesses outside of our group. There will be no toying with this one; I don't want to risk it. Hopefully, this will be over quickly and we can enjoy the rest of the trip. Nodding briskly, he left the subject at that then moved to sit on the bed and patted the place beside him as a cue for Ayrn to sit. They stayed and talked for a while, trying to pass the time between now and when they would be meeting this mystery couple and during that time, the teenagers returned then moved to change into dry clothes before joining the larger group. Before long, nine rolled around and a prompt knock was heard upon the door. Standing with his partner, Erixic moved towards the door with his body tense, but instead of going all the way to the threshold, he stopped a few feet behind his lover where he would get a clear view of who was at the door when she opened it. Surprise was evident upon his facade when the door was pulled open to reveal Dario along with his companion. Stepping up from behind Ayrn, he reached around and shook the vampire's hand then turned his attention to the woman whose name he had heard as Bricaza. And I am Erixic. Offering his hand to her as well as a polite smile, the man could not help but be a bit disturbed at the way her bright green eyes remained locked onto his without faltering. It was a rare accomplishment when someone made him feel uncomfortable and this woman who looked to be of Native American heritage accomplished just that within their first instance of meeting. Looking away, he retreated back into the room and made the introductions then waited to see why Dario was there.
Taelix Jansen• It was with a sense of both reluctance and happiness that the male departed from the plane with the rest of the group. Having the girl of his dreams huddled close to him so she could see the screen of his iTouch as they watched movies together was something he did not want to see end and yet, the plane had to land and the trip go on which was probably better than staying on the plane because his legs had begun to ache for action hours ago and restlessness was not a good thing to force a cheetah shifter to deal with for very long. Besides, he would get the chance later on to be closer to the girl again with a whole week full of prospects stretching out in front of him. Before long, they were out of the airport and in the hotel where he and his mother went into their own room to get settled for the night. They weren't alone in there for long when a knock was heard upon the door and Pirzi's voice asked him if he wanted to go swimming with her. Instantly, an affirmative answer jumped to his lips and with a smile he agreed to meet her outside in the hallway once they both had gotten changed. Thankfully, his swim trunks were the last to be packed so they sat on top of all of his clothes in his duffle bag and were easily accessed. Undressing then dressing again quickly, the boy told his mom he'd be back before nine then headed out to meet with the vixen. He then followed her down to the first floor where the pool was then kicked off his flip flops at the side of the pool and turned to glance at her, by chance ending up watching her strip out of the tank top and shorts to reveal her swim suit. Jerking his orbs to her face, he flashed a mischievous smile then before she could do anything to avoid it; he closed the distance between them, picked her up, and then ran towards the pool, laughing as he jumped in with her. He had let go the instant their bodies had gone underwater, but hand a hand on her elbow to help her to the surface as he kicked upwards to retrieve air too. Sorry. I couldn't resist. Apologizing without really meaning it, the lad let go of her while treading water and shot a wink in her direction before swimming towards the shallow end where his feet could touch the bottom in a few smooth strokes. Once there, he stood and glanced around to look for the lass then moved back to lean against the side with his arms resting on the edge of the pool while head tilted a little at her. You are a mystery. You know? No one at school knows much about you and I wonder if anyone outside of Ayrn does. Lips pursed for a moment while liquids glanced away briefly then returned with a more haughty expression upon his lips. And you're a classy girl. You dress nice and obviously care about your appearance, yet you are dating a punk like Revikr. No offense, but I just don't see how you two fit together. He's overly cocky and you don't seem like the type of girl that would deal with that sort of shit. Growing silent, the lad watched her, trying to gauge the reaction that would receive his words.
Bricaza Black* At his question referring to whatever seat she would prefer, the girl was jerked out of her terrified state of mind to shoot him a confused look before glancing over at the row of seats in front of them. Deciding quickly, she moved to sit in the seat next to window, preferring to be squeezed between him and the metal siding of the plane than being exposed out beside the aisle. Apprehensively, she glanced out the window to see that they were still immobile then nervously moved her attention to the other passengers who were getting on in a stream now and taking their seats rather quickly. Once the aisles cleared except for official looking ladies wearing suits who were going along checking the locks on the doors for the compartments above their heads, her lover warned her about the plane giving her a funny feeling when it took off just as the machine started to move. Nodding quickly, she leaned back against the chair and closed her eyes, still keeping the tight grip upon his arm and hand. Her throat felt constricted, her head was hurting, and her stomach would not stop churning as the anticipation mounted. Many minutes had passed and still nothing had happened so the damsel started to calm down, assured that whatever she was supposed to feel she had missed because she was so worried, but then just at that moment, sensitive ears heard the engines kick in and they began to speed forward, causing her breathing to increase at the same rate. Teeth dug into her lip and eyes were forcefully held shut while grip tightened so much that her knuckles turned white. The poor girl was so frightened that she almost jumped from her seat when that weightless dropping of her stomach came whenever they finally lifted off the ground and her ears popped. Eyes flashed open and were jerked to look at the man, her muscles relaxing slowly while apprehensive mask looked up at him. How long before this is over? She asked pathetically, not at all enjoying the thought of having to travel this way again when they returned from this trip. Finally she began to get comfortable just when a loud ding could be heard throughout the cabin followed by the rather loud voice of a man telling them they had reached cruising altitude. In the wake of everything, the girl could not help but jump a little when she heard the voice then settled back down when he told them he was the captain. After his voice, the ladies came by with a cart and offered them some refreshment. Smiling meekly at Dario, she nodded then sat forward and asked the grinning woman for a soda then, like a kid, happily took it from her and downed the sugar filled drink before licking her lips to get any of the excess sugar that might have been left there when she was drinking. She tossed the cup into the trash bag that the lady came back around with moments later then settled back against the seat to ride out the rest of the trip with her head leaning against the drake. Absentmindedly, her fingers played with the ring upon her left hand; twisting it around her finger multiple times as if it were something she had done all of her life. Many hours later, that weightless feeling came again and shocked her out of a very light slumber. Sitting up straight, panic began to set in before the lord's kiss was felt upon her cheek, causing her to forget the moment and turn to look at him. Before she could remember to be worried again, they were back on the ground and pulling up to the gate. Feeling much better now that they were back on solid ground, she was able to relax a little until the bustle to leave the plane started. Then she found herself again clinging to him as he paved the way through the crowd of people to the place where they got their bags then made their way to the hotel where they were staying for the night. Once in the car and on the way to the hotel, she returned to herself: curious and glancing anxiously out of the window at all the sights that the airport provided. Fingers interlocked with his while they walked into the hotel and got their room. She nodded her understanding when he told her they needed to meet up with the main group of people who had asked him to come and hid her excitement at getting to meet some people from his past. Silently, she rode with him in the elevator then waited outside of the hotel door while he knocked, fidgeting with her clothes and finally making her way to running her finger over the necklace he had given her. Her best brilliant smile greeted the woman who opened the door, but Bricaza faltered a bit when all she received in return was an expression of shock. The stranger recovered quickly, however, and turned to address Dario, telling him she was expecting another woman named Harlen. Confused look was turned up towards the man just in time for the essa to catch the glare that he sent the one who introduced herself as Ayrn. Feeling his pain and hardly recognizing the protective anger that rose within her at this lady for bringing up a hurtful experience for her lover, Bri squeezed his hand then turned her attention back to Ayrn with a lifted chin and daring gaze. Whoever this Harlen was must have been a past lover for Dario and the lass decided to try and ask him about her later, but for now, there were people to meet and a man to protect from experiencing further past pains. Grin returned to her face, as she was introduced by her fiancé to the woman then to the man that walked up behind her. The instant the girl met his gaze; she knew he was an alpha. It was there in the way he carried himself and how his eyes challenged instantly. Intrigue flared up and the emerald pair refused to glance away from him as she wondered silently how he would run his pack in comparison to the way hers was run and if they were all wolf shifters like he and his mate were. Walking inside with Dario's reassuring hand on her back giving her courage, the lady accepted the introductions made to the rest of the pack and realized without having to ask that the pack was a mixture like the Choosen group was, but she was a little surprised at the small number of them. Is this all of your pack? She asked Erixic without thinking about how out of place it might sound as she turned to look at him with a curious frown.

Ayrn Willems: As she sat up on the plane eyes blinked a couple times to allow pupils to adjust to the lack of light in the plane, soon when they landed all the lights were flicked on and she squinted for a moment. Deep slightly hoarse vocals uttered good evening to her when he realized that she was awake. Lips soon met hers and a small smile crossed the girls features.Even though she had spent nearly the entire plane ride sleeping she did not feel very refreshed when she stepped off the plane and into the airport. The tropical air was much more humid than where they lived, not to mention the fact that it was about double the temperature. Bathing suit weather in fact. The whole mood of the vacation was somber and tense though because there were ulterior motives in which she was still hanging on the fact that she was convinced that it would be over within the first couple of days so that they would be able to enjoy the rest of the time but in reality she knew that the chances of that happening were slim, Dillon had been able to evade them for so long, he was smarter than to just appear when all the times were right for the pack. He would know that they would not come along with no protection and probably knew that this was a set up already from the start. She wondered if perhaps he might just think they were running to get away from him. She pushed the thoughts from her mind though as they reached the hotel room. Erix had carried their luggage up the elevator in one of the carts that she knew that her and Damien had in their own hotel. When they arrived in the hotel she moved to place her bag on the floor no intentions of taking much besides the pajamas that she had packed in her carry on bag for this situation. They would be leaving in the morning so there was no use in getting too comfortable. When his arms wrapped around her she then leaned back against him with a small smile. Pirzi and Taelix were soon off to the pool and they were left alone. He asked her who the mystery person that was coming on the trip was. Well lets just say that you already know him. She stated. It was not long before there was a knock at the door and people littered the hotel room. She felt comfortable in the presence of the other shifters. At quarter to nine there was another knock at the door and this time she knew that it would not be another member of the pack and came face to face with Dario and a girl who she noticed instantly wore and stunning engagement ring like she once had. She felt horrible for what she had mentioned about Harlen though he seemed to forgive her lack of judgement and turned instantly business like as he stepped within the hotel room. When Bricaza asked if this was all the members of the pack she shook her head. No, that is too large of a group, this is just a few. When they moved to sit they were all debriefed on the events though the meeting did not go late since they would need to be up early in the morning. When the last people left for the night Pirzi announced that she was going to bed and Ayrn gave her a brief hug before she wandered into the other bedroom of the hotel room and she was left standing with Erixic. You know, you are pretty amazing. Thank you for doing this. I do not know a single other man who would do this for their girlfriend. The courage it showed for him to face someone of this power and not have second thoughts about it was overwhelming. I want you to know that I appreciate everything you do for me. She wrapped her arms around his neck pulling her body close to his and resting her forehead against his collarbone. After a few moments she dropped her arms. Come on you need to sleep. We all need our rest. She knew that back at home he had not gotten much sleep since she had been excited and probably kept him up for the few short hours that they had been allowed to sleep before the flight and he would not have slept on the plane since she knew what type of guy he was and he would not allow his gaurd down, but now that they were safe in a hotel he needed to regain his strength. She stripped down from her previous clothes before changing into flannel pajama pants and a tank top. Climbing into bed she rested her head on the pillow before propping her head up on her hand. After murmering a sleep ladden good night she then allowed her eyes to close. When she awoke the next morning it was long before sunrise since she was not immune to the time change. She stepped into the shower and after towel drying her hair she applied mascara and changed into an white and orange sundress that seemed appropriate for the trip. She knew that they would get breakfast provided when they arrived for the cruise. Unable to wait any longer she leapt onto the bed kneeling on either side of the man kissing him on the cheek. Time to wake up, lets go. She woke Pirzi up as well and then they met with the rest of the group at the bottom of the stairs at the time they had agreed at last night before catching a shuttle to the destination with some other people that were going to be on the cruise and arriving 15 minutes later at the port and being escorted onto the ship where there was a large breakfast waiting for them.
Pirzi Duval: Towel and the rest of her clothing that she had brought from the hotel room were dropped to the ground once they arrived on the pool deck. Since it was around dinner time for most people there were only a few others within the pool, a couple of little kids who were being supervised by adults sitting in plastic chairs and a younger looking couple who were sitting in the hot tub. She had been debating where to start when she was grabbed and muffling a yelp of protest she understood his intentions. When she resurfaced eyes were narrowed in a glare in his direction before she punched him gently in the shoulder. Jerk. She muttered quietly and jokingly. Feet were kicked up in front of her allowing her body to float easily on her back. keeping afloat with light kicks and staring at the ceiling that was made of glass so that you would be able to see the stars. What the people who built this pool had not accounted for was that heat rises though and ended up fogging up most of the glass though it was a nice thought. She allowed him to swim away from her before then joining him within a couple minutes in the shallow end. Purple bikini was a strange choice for her with big gold coloured clasps but accented the unique hue of her eyes. She assumed that he wanted to talk when he sat on the pool deck. By now the little kids had left and the couple had retreated to the sauna so it seemed quite empty. Instead of settling with just leaning against the back of the pool wall she sat on the edge and leaned back on her hands. Gaze met the boys when he started to speak telling her that he thought of her as a mystery and that he was convinced that no one knew about her past besides Ayrn. Brow was raised. And you seem to think you will be able to crack the vault that no one else has? She asked him with a small amount of interest. I like to keep my personal life just that, personal somehow I don't think it would benefit me at all to reveal my life to a bunch of snobby rich kids. She stated in her own defense. She did not understand where he was going with asking her this but then all of a sudden it made sense when he made a comment about her being a classy girl and that she did not belong with Rev. She felt a little bit of anger rise. He's actually not like that, not with me, he wouldn't dare, but that doesn't matter. I am with him and that is the way that it is. She stated. Noticng that it was close to the time that they would have to be back she stepped out of the pool and wrapped herself in the towel before waiting for him to join her on her walk to the elevator. When they reached the top she went her seperate way pausing. I will see you in a couple of minutes. When she stepped into the hotel room she noticed the others were already there and felt a little awkward walking into the room in just a bathing suit and towel though she ducked behind the door quickly and changed into a t-shirt and sweat pants before then rejoining them and listening to what they had to stay before excusing herself to bed. She already missed the place where she never thought she was going to call home though and picked up her phone to imput Rev's number and type a text. She had to think about what time it would be there and it would be in the middle of the night after they left though she felt as though she should send it anyways. We just landed and will be heading out on the cruise ship tomorrow. Miss you already. She could not believe that she was being honest with how she truly felt with him since she kept herself so guarded usually. She pressed send before falling into a sleep.
Dario Lombardi: He was startled when she picked the window seat since he felt as though that would be the scariest seat though he did not question it and sat down next to her squeezing her shoulder with a small smile. She was looking around and taking in all the sights that he knew were completely new for her with a small smile and she took the plane taking off rather well with only leaning back in her seat and closing his eyes and gripping his arm. When they were in the air she got worse before she got better looking as though she was about to jump out of her skin but as soon as her eyes were open and landed on him she relaxed a little. He leaned over the armrest and planted a kiss on her forehead wrapping an arm around her shoulders before she asked how much longer they had on the plane. Quite a while, try to get your rest, its going to be a busy couple days. He murmered with a small smile. He knew that she would not sleep though he did not want to prevent her from doing so if it was an option, when the lady with the cart came around he asked for two sodas and passed her a small bill before accepting the drinks and handing on to her watching her as she drank it. Then her head leaned against his shoulder an a small sigh of contentment was uttered through kissers as eyes fell on her toying with the ring in which he had placed on her finger not to long ago. She did not look quite as stressed when they landed. See I told you that everything would be alright. He assured her before standing and taking her hand and entwining his fingers with her before leading her off the plane and into the covered tunnel that would lead them to the baggage claim. While they waited there arms were thrown around her neck as body was pressed close to hers. Soon the large machine started and the bags were spat out of a large metal shoot they had to wait until the end to see their bags before he picked up both of their luggage and placed it on a cart before wheeling it in the direction of where the shuttle would be picking them up to take them to the hotel. She looked intruiged by the different scenery passing by and he stayed silent allowing her to enjoy it without his babbling. Plus his mind was on the task at hand in which he wanted to get over and done with as soon as possible and knew that that mind frame would be shared with all the people on the trip. He had been informed that he was going to be working with shape shifters and knew that vampires and shape shifters did not usually get along too well. As soon as they arrived at the hotel he checked in and headed up to the room that was specified for them to stay in. After the introductions were made and the plans were laid out they were free to go for the night and rest up before they had to leave tomorrow. When they stepped out of the hotel room. Sorry for Ayrn mentioning Harlen, she is one of my ex's from when I met Ayrn. She disappeared from the place we had been living in Africa quite awhile ago. He stated with a small frown but then arms were wrapped back around her and he opened the door to their hotel room. We should get some rest before tomorrow. He informed her and pulled her in the direction of the bedroom after locking the door and stripped the shirt from hs upper torso before climbing into bed. He laid beside her with a small smile in the dark. I can not wait to be married to you Bri. He told her gently. The night passed by quickly and soon he was awake and feeling rather chipper. A pro to being a vampire was that since he never really slept like a normal human he never fell into a sleeping routine in which he would feel it alter. He rolled over to push hair that had fallen in front of her face away before lips landed on hers in order to wake her.

Erixic Matthews| Hand was habitually placed upon the small of the woman's back as they led their guests into the room and he introduced the others to Dario and Bricaza. Despite his trust in the vampire and his pack's trust in him, the male could still feel the uneasy of his group at being in the same room with the sort of creature they normally would be hunting down, but Erixic was confident that they would learn to relax in the other immortal's presence before long. After all, Dario had been the one to save Ayrn and nurse her back to health after she was attacked back in Hitari and that act alone had earned the mysterious creature the shifter's full trust: something that would not be lost on the members of his pack. Dario's partner, on the other hand, only drew intrique from the group, himself included. They could all tell from her scent that a part of the wolf and forest clung to her so she was therefore most likely a shifter like they were, but something about her seemed different and it even greater transfixed the gathering than the news that they would be working with a bloodsucker in order to go after one of his own kind. Brows raised when almost immediately after introducing the few assembled, the exotic girl spoke up, asking about his pack without her gaze wavering a bit as it again settled upon him. Turning towards Dario with an expression that displayed openly his mixture of curiousity and approval of the lass, the drake allowed his mate to attend to her question before they began to talk buisness. The discussion did not last long though because although everyone was excited and ready for this to be over and done with, they were all very tired from their trip and therefore were eager to retire early to their beds. After everyone was gone, the couple exchanged hugs with their teenager as she went to bed then found themselves alone in the room. The bloke released a sigh, eyes lingering upon his lover as always, while form moved to sit halfway on the arm of a chair that sat in the corner of their room. Broad smile beemed from his lips the instant she finished speaking, causing the familiar warm feeling of pure adoration to fill his torso while she moved closer to wrap her arms around him. Soft chuckles escaped as the man was unable to contain them in consequence for how happy she made him. Hands moved to rest on her hips, then extremities fully wrapped around her waist to pull her closer while a quick kiss was planted upon her cheek. No other man has you and you know you are much more than my girlfriend Ayrn. He told her, standing as he did so while waiting for her pair to lift their field of vision to meet his. I would die for you, but I'm too stubborn to do so and let another man have you. Smirking, he pulled her closer for a kiss before conceding to her suggestion of sleep by stripping from his shirt and jeans then climbing beneath the covers to join her. His reaction to her sweetly spoken goodnight was a kiss on her forehead before arms wrapped around the slender waist and set her body against his own; giving the sort of comfort that allowed his mind to relax and drift off to sleep. Erix woke up the next morning to the sound of the shower, but being unconcerned with it knowing that it was just Ayrn, fell back to sleep for thirty minutes more before then waking up for good with the kiss on his cheek and cheery words. Grinning up at her, the man managed to sit up in time to steal a quick kiss before she escaped from him and went to wake up Pirzi. Climbing out of bed, he made his way to the bathroom where he doused his head with water then proceeded to comb it straight since it had gone unruly during sleep. From there, he let it dry naturally as he dressed in a pair of khaki shorts and a navy blue polo shirt. As soon as they were all assembled, they triplet headed down to the lobby where they met up with the others and headed for the cruise line. Upon boarding, they passed their luggage to a few male workers who were busy taking luggage to assigned rooms and then made their way up the ramp to the first deck where a hostess greeted them and wished them a pleasant cruise as well as informiing them that breakfast was waiting in the dining hall. Here the man paused and inquired as to when they would be reaching their first port destination. "Tomorrow before noo, sir." She happily informed him with a smile that looked as if it were plastered on. Thanking her, he continued on his way, easily catching up with Ayrn, then headed to breakfast with the entire group with a stomach that would be thankful for the food provided to fill it.
Bricaza Black* Emerald gaze shifted from the male to his mate as the other woman answered the question about their pack. Politely, she smiled and nodded her understanding before turning attention to the others assembled. All of them were shifters: different sorts than their alphas, but the diversity did not surprise her. The only thing that did shock her some was that the girl who was introduced as Ayrn's daughter was what she suspected to be some sort of flying shifter while her mother was distinquishable as a wolf. This ebbed away once she learned that the teenager was adopted instead of the product of the alpha pairs mating however her intrique with the other's pack only increased as the hour wore on. Unlike her and the Choosen others back home, all of them were from different home cities and walks of life. They did not appear particularly spiritual and seemed to view their gift as a weapon instead of a means of protection. Bri would have loved to talk more with them about their personal experiences with their animals, but the job that Dario had come to help out with seemed to be the only topic of discussion and besides that they all dispursed from the room early in order to get some sleep after their long flight. Although sad about this miss opportunity, the vixen was glad to be heading to bed because she was tired as well and of course wanted some alone time with her lover. Besides, she was comforted quickly by the fact that there would be plenty of time over the next few weeks for most of her questions to be answered by the other shifters. They were the last to leave the hotel room to start for their own and almost immediately after the door was shut and the pair were outside alone in the hallway he apologized for the mentioning of his ex and explained the background a little while. The soft grin that met his frown displayed that she harbored no harsh feelings and in actuality the damsel was curious to learn more about this Harlen although she was afraid to ask too much about her. From the way he had handled the situation with Ayrn, she could not be fooled into thinking it was a pleasurable break up and from what he said about her disappearing, the vixen knew he felt betrayed by the previous woman in his life and did not want to bring old feelings to the surface when he seemed to be content to keep them locked up. His arms around her distracted the native american from her thoughts and brought an even wider grin to her face as they moved into their room and he directed her to the bed. Following his lead, the lady moved away towards her suitcase to take out the shorts and baggy t-shirt that she normally would wear to bed then changed from her current clothes into the ones she had just gotten out while keeping her back turned to him. She climbed under the comforter after he was already there and quickly wiggled across the bed till her leg was pressed against his and her arm could feel the hard, bare chest. At his words, she curled her toes out of delight and scooted closer, tucking her head against his chest while letting one arm extend away from her body and sneak underneath his to rest on his ribcage. I cannot wait either Dario. I love you. Lips whispered against his skin, pressing a kiss to the closest part of his body: the collarbone. From there, she fell straight to sleep but was woken by the soft brush of fingertips against her forehead and a tender kiss on her lips. The instant he pulled away, her lids opened and the smile he was used to seeing in the morning broke out across facade. Good morning. She uttered before quickly leaning towards him for another kiss and then getting out of the bed and heading for the bathroom to do her buisness and brush her teeth. Once emerged, she dressed in short's and a tank top then braided her hair off to the side while he got dressed. They met the others downstairs and took a bus to the cruise port with a few strangers riding along with them. She had not been informed that they would be eating breakfast aboard the ship and was estatic when she heard from the hostess that food was waiting for them. Grabbing Dario's hand, she eagerly led him to the dining hall ahead of everyone else then grabbed two plates and started down the line while handing one off to him.

Ayrn Willems:
She was instantly intrigued when she was able to sense that the one that Dario had brought with him held a similarity to her and Erixic. Perhaps they were not the exact same though it was close. She kept an eye on the girl instantly wishing that she had not made a fool of herself and promising that she would make it up to her on the trip and perhaps she might grow close to another being. It was strange to see a vampire with someone other then their own kind so she wondered how this had happened. Who had been the one to fall in love to break all the morals that had been instilled in them by their own nature? She found it quite romantic, like one of those love stories about the ones that are not supposed to be together and not allowed to be together because of their beliefs and being in a different clan. The feeling of Erixic's hand along her back was comforting knowing that the male was there to back her up no matter what happened. It did not seem to go as she had thought. The pack members were a little uneasy though their bond to their Alpha was weighted as higher and if he trusted the vampire then they would as well. She was wowed by the affect that her man held over these people. She found it interesting that the girl seemed to have no idea that there were a lot more packs around then just this one here sitting in the hotel room, it was as if she was from some remote part of the world. Interest was sparked. Soon enough the discussion grew quieter and it seemed as though there were no subjects left on the agenda and people started to thin from the room and she did not blame them since there were a lot of people that she knew that did not overly like flying and even though it was something that she become accustomed to the wolf within her grew restless being trapped in a plane for that long and in such a small and confined area, essentially being trapped for the duration. This left her and Erixic in the room alone. He had been sitting on the arm of the couch and when she spoke his hands found their way to her waist pulling her closer and causing the familiar whirlwind of butterflies to spark within her abdomen that she knew would never diminish. If these feelings between them had not died in the six months that they had spent apart, they never would. Six months of torture, though now that she thought back on them they seemed like a blur. As they settled into bed her mind was still turning with the events of the day and how much seemed to have happened in such a short time. Fingers were entwined in his as they fell into a light sleep. When she awoke in the morning she felt a little more refreshed even though the bed she had slept in the night before had not been her own it had been comfortable enough for her to be relaxed plus she had the thing that remained as a constant in her life. She barely wanted to move from the embrace as a yawn parted kissers and she knew that she would have to get up before she started to get too fidgety and ended up depriving him of the few more minutes of sleep he would be able to get while she was getting ready for the day. The sun dress seemed to brighten her mood the moment that it was put on and she knew that they would soon be on the cruise and soon they would be able to relax. When she woke him up this time he was not grouchy since it was not in the middle of the night. He placed a kiss on her cheek before she then woke Pirzi and they all headed down to the bottom floor of the hotel. She almost had wished that she had grabbed something to eat before they had left the hotel since she was able to tell that there were more then a few hungry members of the pack sitting on the shuttled that would take them right to the pier that they were to set out on. Though it would not be long now and the drive did not take long before they were on the cruise ship. Allowing them to take their luggage they set to working packing the ship with the assigned rooms while the people of the cruise ate their breakfast. She pulled all the tickets for the cruise with the peoples names on them and passed them out the group so that they were able to show their tickets before stepping onto the boat and into the room that a large buffet was set up in. They had every food imaginable with fresh fruit, waffles, pancakes and other breakfast items. With one hand entwined with the males she stepped up to the line dropping it only to be able to grab a plate as they were in the front of the line and she piled the food on her plate before taking a table that some of the members of their journey were already sitting at. Once they were finished they were all given a brief talk and then told to have a wonderful cruise and instructed on where to board and given their room numbers. Allowing everyone to do their own thing to get to their room hand was run down the males spine to settle on his waist before a small mischievous glance was shot. Some of the kids were jogging down the hallways as if it was mission impossible, though she hung back from the pack. Once passing a corner a grin was shot to him before pushing him into the darkness of a corner and pressing lips against his, though it did not last long since it was nothing more then a teasing gesture before she slipped from his grip and set out to find the room. Room 402 was set to be theirs and was on the corner just down the hallway from where they started. A card key was swiped and the door opened. The view across the open water was stunning and the room itself was amazing, like staying in a five star hotel. Wow. She stated quietly. When he joined her she stepped close to him. Hand running along his abdomen as she pulled him closer to the bed. Kisses were trailed along his jawline before then pressed to his lips. Breathing heightened as senses were on high alert gaze was soft as it met his before pulling back for a moment. A small sigh was uttered as there was a knock on their door. You better answer it. She whispered to him before sliding out from the bed and standing running a hand through her hair.
Dario Lombardi:
He already knew that she would be interested in the pack and the other shifters before they even arrived here. He had not told her about them since he wanted to leave it as a surprise though it would be a shock to her since she had only met ones of her kind that were a part of her tribe. Or at least he was almost sure of that. After the hand shake with Ayrn and Erixic he stepped into the room looking all business. It was clear that he was sure of his job and good at what he did. Protective arm remained along the girls shoulder. He knew that even to a pack this diverse and from so many different places that this pairing would look strange. To them it would not be seen as wrong since they did not have the same beliefs as her tribes though it was uncommon that the nature of a vampire and shifter would allow them to be together and not butt heads like they were designed to do. He knew that they were all nervous to have him in the room though after this they would get a lesson on not judging others just by what race they happened to belong to. While most vampires lived up to their descriptions there were a few that were to be trusted and it was merely about knowing the right people. Bri asked her question which Ayrn politely answered and he knew that the girl was very interested in this pack and the people in it and he knew that they would be interested to talk to her so he would tell her later when they were in private that there would be a lot of time for them to be able to talk since the job was going to only be the first part of this trip and the rest would be left for them to relax. He knew this vampire well and he would not be the type to wait until the last day of the trip to attack he knew that he would have the best chances if he were to attack on one of the first days when they were not yet settled and they did not know the layout of the ship well. He already had a theory though he would have to wait for the time that they were getting on the ship to see if he was going to be right. When they were in the hallway he turned to her and spoke a little telling her about Harlen and what had happened between them he might have continued but he did not want to upset the girl. She managed a small smile in his direction. I love how you can be so understanding, Bri. Well, I just love everything about you. He uttered softly. He did not move from his place in the hallway for a little while before then grasping her hand softly and walking a couple doors down the hallway before unlocking their doors and stepping into the hotel room. This mission I am on. I promise you is not going to take very long, then the rest of the trip is ours. You can talk to all those people and find out more about them. See what it is like for them to live out in the human world on their own. He knew that she would need her sleep though as he was changing into a pair of sweatpants he spoke again. I know this vampire, quite well actually. He is one of the rivals of one of my old Covens. I have a feeling that he is going to make his move on the first stop that the cruise makes. He will guess that not all the members of the pack are settled yet. He is smart enough that I don't doubt that he already knows I am a part of this even though we tried to keep it separate by not flying to Ayrn's home city before here. And I know that he will have spies on the boat. This had been the first time that he had shared something to do with a job that he had been hired on with anyone. He could not believe that he felt at ease enough to tell her all that since he had been taught from the very beginning that you never under any circumstances tell anyone. But we will worry about that in the morning. I love you too Bricaza. He told her gently before then allowing his arms to wrap her close to him and allow her to get some rest. When they awoke in the morning she shot him a charming smile before kissing him and jumping off the bed to get ready for the day in the bathroom he stretched and placed a pair of khaki pants on, that were in fact lighter then the material usually worn but the shorts would be saved for the time that he was off duty. A black polo shirt was placed on upper torso as he then lead her downstairs when they were in the elevator he leaned over to whisper in her ear. So I think you have adjusted to the life away from the tribe very easily, we might have to do this a lot more often. He stated with a small mischievous smile and a kiss to her temple. When they were in the shuttle she sat close to him and when she found out about food she rushed with him to the front of the line and they were the first ones to get their food. How do you feel about eating and walking? I want to get a look around the ship before we leave. He asked her. Taking their passes they were produced. Careful to see that no one was watching he took her hand after they had gotten their food and lost in the bustle slipped past the guards at the hallway before pulling her around to duck behind a corner so they would not be seen. So if the vampire had spies it would have to be people that the others would not notice since if it were people involved in customer service they would be able to sense them. He spent all night thinking over the people that would be behind the scenes and involved in the ship enough that they would get to see and survey the others. The ship was deserted as they walked down the aisle. He was glad for this and they heard the voices of two men long before they came into view and he was able to pull her along with him and duck behind a luggage cart. As they passed by and were out of sight they were moving again towards the front of the ship. Towards the captains space. This would be a place that no one would be allowed around so therefore it would be perfect for the spies to be hired on. When he arrived there the scent of a vampire was unmistakable and he knew that he had his culprit. Interesting. He stated to her, but that was all that he needed to know and headed back just in time to see the people rushing towards their rooms. Their room was quite close to Ayrn and Erixic being number 405. He unlocked their door and the room was amazing. I am going to go tell Erixic about our find, would you like to come? I promise we can actually go find real food that is not cold after. He promised her seeing as he knew that the food on their plate by now would have gotten frigid as he got too caught up on their little mission. He stepped out of the door and knocked on the door that he had already found out to be the other couples. He was more prepared then he knew a lot of the pack would be. When Erixic answered the door a small smile was offered to him. Can I come in? He asked and stepped into the room. I found something out, we snuck around the ship at breakfast because I just had a feeling. The captain or one of the people with him is a vampire. A spy I am guessing. I knew he was going to work like this, but we need to pretend as if we don't notice. He will make his move on the first stop, before he thinks that we got settled. I know him quite well. Just thought you should know. We will talk later. Right now I owe someone a breakfast. He stated with a small smile before moving back out into the hallway and now the search was on for a place for food.

Erixic Matthews| Welcoming the familiar feel of the woman's hand clutching his own, the male moved his way through the small crowd towards the buffet line, not minding when the lass let go of her hold in order to fill her plate with different assortments of food chosen from the wide variety of choices that were available. Like the family that they were, the pack all sat down at one table to eat together, passing around some light hearted small talk that showed how excited everyone was about the trip despite the "job" that was lurking in the forefront of everyone's mind. The talk was distracting though and good for the group. So distracting in fact that Erixic did not notice until his food was gone that Dario and his girl Bricaza had not joined them for breakfast. Frowning momentarily, he sat straight and glanced around him, trying to catch sight of one or both of the missing party to no anvil. Just when he was getting curious enough to go looking for them, the rest of those assembled with him stood and began to make way to their rooms; leaving him to be drug along with them as his lover's hand reached again for his. They hung back from the rest of them as they made their way through the hallways in the section of the boat where the rooms could be found which did not bother the man because they were simply walking casually. He did not realize that there might be a method to his woman's strategic planning till her hand ran along his spine, spiking his blood pressure momentarily and causing goose bumps to emerge upon his skin. Turning to look at her, the male instantly caught the mischievous fever that echoed in her eyes and began to anticipate impatiently their arrival at their room. Despite this flash of warning, the bloke was still completely taken aback when she pushed him up against the wall in the dark corner and began to kiss him before retreating and turning to their room. Keeping close quarters, Erix held onto her waist and made sure to press up against her back and kiss her neck as they paused in front of the door in order to open it with the electronic key card they had been given. Unlike her, when they entered, the view did not draw the alpha's attention, but rather he remained entranced by the lady who stood in front of him. Unwilling to wait for her to take the time to let her take in the view, the drake quickly made his way across the distance between them and was pleased to find that she too was an impatient as he. Groaning as her lips trailed along his jaw; the lord gladly collapsed on the bed with her and let his hands move beneath the cover of her shirt to feel the warm flesh of his mate while lips busied themselves in meeting hers. Just as it started to get interesting, there was a knock upon the door to ruin the moment. Echoing her sigh, he sat up then stood with a complaining grunt to answer the door. This had better be good..... He grumbled in a bad temper as he opened up the door to reveal the two who were missing in action over breakfast. Knowing he could not be too put out about the situation, he stood back and let the pair enter when Dario asked if they could then he shut the door behind them and moved to sink in one of the arm chairs provided in the room. With a facade that gave away nothing, he sat and listened to their partner intently, nodding as he finished then standing to get the door for them as they left, offering a smile to the vixen as he caught the meaning of the vampire's last statement. Thank you for letting us know. I’ll tell the pack to keep a look out, but instruct them to not act yet. Have a good breakfast. Wishing them off, he shut the door then turned back to look at Ayrn with hunger still in his eyes. Slowly, he moved back to her side, reaching out for her hips and pulling her up tightly against him. Bending his head, the shifter nibbled on her neck playfully before moving his lips up to her ear to whisper against her brunette hair. Do you want to make love with me babe? Vocals teased just before chuckles escaped his mouth and he leaned away, letting go on the hold he had on her to move and fall upon the mattress with a release of a heavy sigh. He knew he needed to tell the pack the news that Dario had delivered, but after the busy day they had, he was aching for just a moment's rest.
Bricaza Black* Bricaza had just begun to gather her food when her man leaned over her shoulder to whisper the question in her ear. Pausing in her gathering, she turned her head and looked upwards at him with a sweet, excited smile and nodded. I would like to see the ship. She agreed before turning back to the food and hurriedly finishing picking out what she wanted before letting him drag her into a dark corner while no one was watching. Almost instantly, the girl knew that her lover was not interested in seeing the ship just for the sake of getting to see it before everyone else. His reasoning was connected to that other vampire that he was supposed to help Ayrn and the other's deal with. This did not bother her, but because they had to sneak around, she felt as if the plates of food were quickly becoming a nuisance so she threw them away in one of the trashcans that they passed just before the voices of some of the workers approaching could be heard. Doing as best as she could to stick close to him, the damsel managed to stay out of their line of vision and the pair could then pass by without anyone attempting to hinder their movement. Excitement mounted as they moved through the mostly empty hallways to the front of the boat where she knew the captain's helm to be. The moment he opened the door to the wheelhouse, both of them caught the unmistakable scent of a vampire and she looked to him and nodded as he spoke softly to himself before closing the door and heading back with her to where their rooms could be found. Once they got to their room, the lass took some time to move around and get a small feel for the place just before he suggested they go deliver the news they had found to Erixic and Ayrn. Nodding, she quickly made her way back out the door and waited outside in the hallway for him before following the man down the hall and running into his shoulder as he stopped unexpectedly at the door just down the way from there. Sorry. She spoke quietly, tucking her head to hide the embarrassed blush that crept up along her cheeks because of her lack to pay attention. It had been silly of her to assume that their room was nowhere near hers and Dario’s and now he knew how absent minded she was. When the alpha answered the door, she could tell by his face and the sexual tension in the air that they had interrupted a private moment and immediately she wanted to turn around and retreat, but because Dario was stepping forward, she did as well and managed to shoot an apologetic look to both of the shifters before their findings was delivered. Patiently, she stood by and watched their reactions; lighting up the instant Dario mentioned owing her breakfast. With the happy, bubbly feeling to guide her, the fea managed a wink at her lover and lifted her hand in a waving gesture to the others before stepping out of the threshold and into the hallway.

Ayrn Willems: It was strange to sit at the table with the group of shifters and talk as if they were on nothing more then a vacation though she knew that they all were taking it seriously. She wished that it had been a little different though because she did not like that there was a possibility that some of them might get hurt on this trip that was essentially only for her. She knew that Erixic would not have it any other way though and he knew that there was no way that she would be able to reason with him so she would save the fight. She had piled pancakes smothered in butter and maple syrup on her plate as well as fresh fruit and yogurt so she took her time in eating it watching as Haley Ann and Taelix took their spot across from them and instantly the boy was talking to Pirzi, it was impossible not to see that they were getting along well though whether it was on a romantic level she was not too sure. She did not want to interfere like Erix did because she trusted the girl and her decisions and she did not believe in influencing her in any sort of way since the girl had her own love life and she was old enough to be able to make her own decisions and choose who she was going to date, if it was a mistake well then it was for her to decide and not for Ayrn. While the other male might seem like a bad kid and a lot of trouble she knew that Pirzi was not going to be influenced by him. When they finished their meal they were informed that their first stop would be tomorrow around lunch time and they would be given the option to get off the boat in order to look around the island that they were going to but they did not have to. Her sense of adventure was sparked though and she knew that she would be getting off at every stop to make sure that she got the most of the trip. She also noticed that Dario and Bricaza were not with them and started to worry though she knew that the vampire would be up to something since they had been seen on the shuttle and he was too professional to not be up to anything and missing. When they made their way to their room her intentions were made clear when she pushed him back up against the wall and pressed her lips hard to his before sauntering in the direction of their room and unlocking the door. Though she had been suprised when he did not even give her the time to look around the room and she was soon laying on the bed. Hands were running beneath her shirt and along the smooth skin of her abdomen bottom lip was held between ivories as tingling sensations ran across her entire body and amazingly he could capture her in this bliss as they were laying there with all their clothes still on. As soon as the moment seemed to be getting more heated there was a knock on the door and she told him that he should get it incase there was some sort of information that was important and she settled herself a little when he then walked to the door and it was Dario there. She moved a little awkwardly to the door knowing that their bed already looked ruffled though with the tension between the two there was no use in even trying to hide it. She had known that he had been sneaking around when they had been eating breakfast and she appreciated that he took this all so seriously since he had been the only one to think like that. He told them what he thought was going to be happening before then leaving telling them that he promised Bricaza breakfast. An understanding nod was uttered before he disappeared and the door was then closed. She could not help but chuckle at the arrogant manner in which he was talking to her and asking her if she would like to make love with him. Eyes were rolled slightly with a small smile though she joined him in the bed when he fell backwards. I might think about it. She climbed over him placing her hands on either side of his face before lowering herself to his level. A small smirk shown on kissers before peeling the sundress off of her body and leaving her in a set of matching red underwear knowing that even if the mood had been lost that soon it would be returning. Lips trail along the males collar bone and jawline. Breathing turning rapid as adrenaline spike. Pants of the mans were undone and slipped over his hips. As it progressed she was lost in the situation. After it was all over she laid beside him running hands over his shoulders and massaging tense muscles. We should go see the others. She stated standing once again and pulling the sun dress over her head and walking to the bathroom to run a brush through her hair.
Dario Lombardi:
He could not believe that she was so game for being a part of this. She even dropped their plates in the garbage can as they moved so that they were no in the way he was quite suprised by this though it was nice she seemed to be settling into his life more and more everyday and becoming close. It was nice that he did not feel as though he was ever going to have to hide anything from her since she already knew all about the thing that he had never dared to tell anyone else that he had been involved with. Not even Harlen who he felt that he had been the closest to. When they had reached the Captains quarters he did not feel like risking it any farther he knew that if he would be found out that it would make things a lot different he did not want Dillon to know that he was there if he did not already know. When they entered the room of Ayrn and Erixic he knew that he was interrupting something so he knew that he better speak quick to make sure that he did not bother the two, Especially when he immediately was told that it better be important. He spoke rather quick before backing towards the door and excusing himself to go buy breakfast for Bri. He caught her wink and a small smirk crossed features. A small chuckle released knowing that those two had wasted no time on being on the trip. Though that was not something for him to judge he knew that they were close when he had found Ayrn all beaten up the night that she had gotten mixed up in Hitari with Izar. Erixic had been completely distraught and looked as though he had been ready to take on the universe if it meant getting revenge for what had been done to his girlfriend. When they stepped out into the hallway he turned to her for a moment wanting to explain a little bit of how he knew the couple. Remember when I told you that I lived in a remote part of Africa? I ran a place for immortals there with a couple of other people that you will meet soon. They were there as well. During one of the banquets that I put on the guard sent by this vampire that we are hunting was sent to beat Ayrn up and when I found her she had memory loss for the next three weeks and was in pretty bad shape, this is how I know them. He told her. But enough about that, what do you want for breakfast? He asked before heading in the direction that he could smell food cooking. Hand was placed in hers and they stepped up a couple flights of stairs to reach a cafe looking place at the top of the deck in the sun. They were lead to a table that was covered with a large umbrella and overlooking the span of ocean, they were stil close enough that they could see the place where they had just left from. They were served quickly and he ordered after her asking for a glass of orange juice and a pancake breakfast with sausage and bacon. So what do you want to do today? I have no more sneaking around planned.

Erixic Matthews| Eyes followed the lady as she joined him upon the bed, a playful smile still plastered upon the duke's facade. Chuckles emit at her reply and gaze shifts away as lids shut over surfaces briefly, muscles relaxing against the mattress; the previous moment released from his mind in exchange for the chance at a break. Laughter instantly ebbed when he felt the weight of the damsel move to hover above him. Shades jerked up, bright depths taking in the mischievous expression that shone from the lass' features, triggering the heat in his body. Ayrn, I was just kidd... Vocals started, but were brought to a halt the moment she reached from her dress and pulled it off her body. Any thoughts of changing his mind disappeared with the garment of clothing as liquids took in the sight of her smooth, creamy skin contrasted with the brilliant, red fabric. How do you get away with wearing this underneath that? He asked her as hands lifted to run up her sides and a finger slipped beneath the strap of her bra, pulling it towards him as he ran his hand up and down the front of it before slipping it from her shoulder with a self-satisfied smirk. Breathing accelerated as the woman enacted her revenge and bent her head to torture him by running her lips over the exposed sections of his skin from his shirt. Chin tilted upwards slightly as the soft skin moved to his jaw line and his palms slipped down to her hips, pulling her more tightly against him as his body rose slightly from the bed to meet hers. When he could no longer lay there and endure what she delivered, the man wrapped his arm completely around his waist and flipped her onto her back, moving them to the complete other side of the large king size bed with a smile that tugged the muscles along one side of his face backwards towards his ear. Their clothes were discarded and the man quickly forgot the place and time until they finished indulging a suddenly rampant passion. Rolling onto his back, the bloke released a soft sigh, letting his finger tips lightly doodle an intangible pattern along her skin. Silently, he stared up at the ceiling with a relaxed expression upon his face, enjoying the massage she was giving him, until his lover spoke and he turned to look at her, letting his arm fall away so she could stand and get dressed. Following her lead, the male swung his legs over the edge of the bed and stood to pull on his shorts and shirt before walking up behind her in the bathroom and wrapping his arms around her to bend around and kiss her cheek. I love you. He said, looking at them in the mirror with a smile before leaving the bathroom to put on a pair of shoes and then waiting for her at the doorway. Once they were ready and out of the door, he made his way to the doors of all the pack members, knocked upon them, then told them the news that Dario had relayed earlier, but then left them to relax for the first day since he knew it would a long next few days until Dillon showed. Pirzi did join them however when they found her and Erixic pulled the women along with him to the open deck where others were excitedly chatting with those they had come on the cruise with. So, what to do today? Turning to the girls, he allowed his eyebrow to lift and waited for a response, obviously letting them choose what to do.
Bricaza Black* The girl looked to the floor and silently listened to the man's explanation that gave her a look into the past; hand moved slowly up and down her upper arm from where it had rested just above her elbow when she had crossed her arms. So far on this trip, the only insights that the woman had planned on extracting from her lover were given willingly and without request. It pleased her to think she would not be in the sort of relationship where getting a simple answer would be like pulling teeth. Conversation was comforting and silence, for the majority of its work, only served to make her restless. As he talked, the essa began to slowly venture down the hall, away from the door and room they had previously been guests inside in an attempt to give the inhabitants more of a chance at total privacy as with an immortals ears nearly every sound would be painfully enhanced, even if one did not want to hear what entered their lobes. When he finished, she glanced back towards the door that they had left; ignoring his question about what food she preferred and instead found herself connecting with the shifter couple as if she had been there among them when the incident had happened or as if they had been the ones to tell her. Facing forward once again, the fea moved closer to her fiancé, linking her arm in his as they continued their very slow stroll down the corridor. They have been together a long time then, yes? After such a dramatic event I very much envy Ayrn for her courage in acting as bait for her personal demon. Frowning, she came to a sudden halt then turned her expression upwards to meet the male's gaze, interest sparking the depths of emerald pools as she found herself exposing more and more of the mysterious alpha pair the more her thoughts dwelled upon them and what little she knew of their past. Do you not find it odd that they would ask you to assist? That is, I do not mean to say that they do not recognize your skill or show any sort of prejudice towards you, however, I can hardly see how a man as attached and protective as Erixic is over his mate, asking another to help enact what he would be considering his ultimate revenge. Try as we might, none of us can fully exceed at detaching our emotions from our actions and with such a sensitive subject, I can hardly picture an alpha especially reining in his pride to request that you come along and help take care of what I am sure he views as his problem. Mind you, I believe they are all the smarter for not handling this on their own. Feelings do far too much to blind a person in combat, but it does appear strange to me. Keeping hold of her quizzical brow, she returned her liquids to the ground while feet managed to pick up the previously kept pace as if they had never stopped. A few seconds later, the damsel shrugged and sighed, pressing even closer to Dario as she squeezed his arm gently. Perhaps I am letting my own emotions guide me. I would not wish to have help in my affairs. When we return, I will deal with those who kidnapped us both. Sounding rather firm, the damsel let the thoughts run away from her as they neared the landing with food; the aroma hitting her suddenly and at full force. Mhmmm. That smells so delicious. A sausage and cheese omelet; with toast and jam. That is what I would like for breakfast. With fruit. And milk to drink. Grinning sheepishly, she looked up at him before increasing their pace in order to quench the hunger that gnawed at her insides that much swifter. After they were seated and their plates ordered, the tempo of talk picked up once again with his inquiry as to what she wanted to do for the rest of the day. Instantly, orbs light up with excitement and she shifted off her rump in order to reach behind her and pull out the very worn and highly folded piece of paper that was stuck in her back pocket. Can we explore more without needing to sneak then? I read that they are supposed to have a small aquarium in the lower decks of the ship with a wide variety of exotic fish and sea life. They also have a large assortment of games which cruise customers can enjoy. Unfolding her paper, the fea opened up the cruise liner's brochure that she had read so often that without noticing, she had spoken the sales pitch word for word when replying. Holding it out proudly, she handed it over to him then watched with an eager face for his reaction.

Ayrn Willems: The tension that had become so apparent in the girl with the days before the trip had melted away with the touch of the man. He stated that his comment had been in a joking manner though that did not matter to her because her actions told him that she had been serious and needed no word. She had become so infactuated in her love for him that she had not even paused to think about what lay ahead in the trip and how hard it was for her to be so close to someone that had been her fear for most of her life. Before they had left she had been so busy planning her trip away and getting her, Erixic and Pirzi ready that she had barely even any time to think that she was going to be going head on with the most dangerous person to her. She was brave though, but not nearly that brave. When all was said and done she lay next to him for a moment before she crawled out of the bed and placed the dress over her head again before she was joined by him in the bathroom a beaming smile pulling at the edges of her lips. She was able to meet his gaze in the mirror as he seemed to be doing the same and kissed her cheek before utterering that he loved her. She regretted that she knew that they were going to have to leave the room in a couple minutes before they were found missing for the rest of the day it was bad enough that they had already been caught by Dario and his lover earlier. She was beginning to take a liking to the new girl. She had found Harlen to be friendly though she seemed a little stuck up though this girl was genuine and down to earth she made a note to get to know her more. She was intruiged by a girl that had no idea of a pack mentality between people that were living regularily it made her wonder where the girl came from. It was impossible not to see that she was of Native American heritage though did that mean that she lived on a tribe? Were they all shifters in the tribe? She allowed these thoughts to pass as she ran a brush through her hair so it did not look as if they had just carried out the task that they had and ran a hand over the fabric of the dress to ensure that it did not look ruffled before stepping out of the bathroom and taking his hand as she knew that they would be going around to all the different peoples rooms to tell them the news that had been so pressing though she assumed that some of them would have already found out. After they met up with Pirzi and they were free for the rest of the day. He asked what they wanted to do, already she had a few things on her mind. She knew that once they were far enough out they would be stopping in order to allow people to swim in the ocean though that would not be for another couple of hours until the land was completely gone from their sight. She shrugged before then pausing for a moment and then remembering that there was an underwater viewing area where they would be able to watch the aquatic life as it passed by the boat. Underwater viewing deck? She asked and Pirzi nodded already looking around for the signs to where they were supposed to go. Seeing a sign with a fish on it she lead them in that direction and Ayrn stepped lightly after her walking down the stairs to a dark area that was just illuminated by the light that passed through the windows in the observation deck. The exotic fish swam by the boat and the coral was all different sorts of colours. When they were in the area she noticed that Dario and Bricaza were there as well and a small smile appeared on face before she dropped Erix's hand and moved over to the other girl. Stepping closer to her she noticed that she got the girls attention before speaking. Pirzi and I were wondering if you would like to come to dinner with us tonight. Just the girls sorry Dario. She said with a small smile waiting for the other girls response before joining Erix again at the windows.
Dario Lombardi: She seemed to be thinking less about what was on the agenda now and more back to the two shifter that they had left in the room. She asked him if they had been together a long time. He would not have known too much about them without the help of Damien who had been the one to call him since he wanted a little bit of background information on the whole situation since the first time he had met them had been at Hitari. Not as long as you might expect though they have been together I believe about a year and a half. The first time I met them was almost a year ago. He told her all that he knew about them. Damien had also told him that they had been broken up for six months because they were both so stubborn though he did not include that since it seemed irrevalant. She stopped him and luckily his attention was on her or else he would have collided with her as she then spoke in wonder of how it was peculiar that Erixic had gathered a team to come and take down the person that had been plaguing him instead of battling them alone. She asked if he found that it was odd for them to ask him to assist and he shook his head. I may not have known Ayrn for very long, or known that she had any connections to an old friend but her best friend and business partner Damien was the one to call me and insist that I come along knowing that Dillon, the one that we are after is one of my biggest person enemies. Well one that I thought I had already killed in fact. He paused for a moment before willingly telling her more of what he knew. I don't think if it was up to Erixic he would have anyone else here in fact he was quite adamant on not allowing other people to come though he can not argue with Ayrn and they are both very stubborn, the pack is very loyal to one another and they help eachother when in need, they are bonded and can hear one anothers thoughts so it would be impossible for him not to tell them about this. This is what I am told at least. She then paused before stating that when they returned she would be the ones to deal with her problems and the people that kidnapped them by herself and he shook his head. Bri, I can not allow you to do that. You can not face people like that alone. Promise me we will at least discuss it when we get back? He asked her with a pleading look. When they walked into where they would be eating her hunger seemed to kick in and she told him what she was going to order and it truthfully sounded good though he had his heart set on pancakes and he ordered what he had been wanting all morning. Sipping orange juice from the glass as it arrived at the table. Not a very vampire looking refreshment. He placed the price for the meal and a generous tip on the table so that he would be able to turn his full attention to the girl as she asked if they would be able to go down to the small aquarium and underwater viewing area of the boat without having to sneak around and he nodded with a small smile as she sounded as if she was trying to sell him the product. He then noticed that she had a small brochure that he guessed was from the cruise ship. You did your research. He was glad that she had been excited enough to be curious before they had even arrived on the boat. Already he was having so much fun being around the girl. Shen held it out to him and he eyed the section that she was reading from before standing and reaching for her hand. Then what are we waiting for? He asked with a smile before reading the signs that were used to navigate the passengers and lead down to the lower decks pausing as they reached the door that said aquarium and remembering that it had been one of the first places that he had taken her. It started with a large underwater viewing area of what they were passing by right now in the ship and he spotted the shifter couple and their daughter as they entered the room and soon the girl approached them and asked Bri if she would like to come to dinner as a sort of girls thing for them later on.

Erixic Matthews| Shoulders lifted in a shrug, an easy grin sliding onto handsome features in response to his lover's suggestion of how to amuse themselves. He would be fine with anything that they did since it was time spent together that they rarely got to experience in a setting outside of the hotel suite. Although it was true he had just recently moved in with them, Erixic felt as if he needed to try and become closer to the both of them so they could be more like a family rather than a daughter, mother, and mother's boyfriend. Since he had always felt that being a friend to Pirzi would benefit her even while Ayrn and he were split, it was not hard for the man to make the transition to wanting to be more than just her friend and more like the father figure that had been missing for quite some time. Being around his girls was really all of what this trip was about. Dillon did not really matter; he was merely a bump in the trip that would need to be smoothed out once the time came. Walking along behind them, the male reached for his lover's hand and held it as they followed the signs, spotted mostly by the younger lady who also took the lead in directing them, and eventually made their way to the lowest deck possible where they had a thick, large glass window attached to the hull and large aquariums holding different assortments of fish and other sea life along the walls. Moving along to stand beside Pirzi at the first tank, the man was too busy examining the animals to notice as the warmth of the woman's hand left his own. Only when he turned to speak to her did he finally notice that she was missing. Frowning, the bloke straightened then began to glance around the rather spacious area for his partner, smiling as he saw her talking politely to Dario's fiancé. He watched as the exotically tanned woman's face lit up and she gave his mate a squeezing hug, almost bouncing up and down with the happiness that was clearly written across her features. Her head bobbed in a confirmation gesture and then she gave one final hug to Ayrn before the shifter was released to return to his side. With a joyful smirk upon features and an eyebrow raised, the baron met her gaze then bent to kiss her cheek as she came closer, again taking her hand and bending down till his lips were at her ear. What'd you say to her? He asked quietly, moving along to the next window as Pirzi did while listening to what she had to say. Grinning proudly, he nodded in understanding when she told him that she had invited Bricaza to a girl’s dinner with them that night. Normally, he would have pouted and pretended to be offended that they had left him out of the invitation, but in this instance the drake was far too proud of his girlfriend to think of doing something so playful. Instead, he moved to stand behind her at the window and wrapped his arms around her body, giving her a generous hug that held her close to him for a long while before stepping back to be satisfied with holding her hand once more. Time passed by quickly on the boat and before they knew it, the sun was beginning to set and the time where dinner was typically served rolled around. Showering before dressing in a pair of white, loose slacks and a button up blue tropical shirt, the man quickly took himself out of the girl's way as they got ready. Once all three were satisfied with their appearance, they left the room and crossed the hallway to Dario's and Bricaza's hold where Erix knocked politely, smiling broadly at the emerald clad woman who answered, her long hair let loose from its braid that she had kept it in that morning and hung well below her shoulders. "Hello. Just let me get the key and I'll be ready." Polite vocals came out in a bit of a nervous rush as the girl left the door open and turned to grab one of the cards off the dresser before turning to her man and kissing him briefly on the cheek, whispering something inaudible before moving out of the room to join the other girls. Come on Dario. It's time for our date sugar pie. Vocals teased, laughter erupting forth from cavern as he turned to wink at Ayrn before bending and giving her a quick kiss on the lips so she could go ahead to dinner. I'll see you back at the room tonight. He told her before shifting his affections to their teen; giving both a hug and a kiss upon the head before the women started on down the hall. Grinning foolishly, he turned to wait for the vampire with his hands clasped behind his back like a high schooler waiting awkwardly on the front porch for his prom date. Once the other man exited the room, Erixic dropped his act and reached forward to firmly shake his hand in greeting, proceeding to lead the way to the upper most deck area where they had an open bar. He ordered a beer then made his way to rest arms on the railing where no one else was around them, sipping from the bottle occasionally as he gazed out at the ocean and sky. This constant movement of the sea hasn't set well with my pack. Two have already fallen ill and that leaves the other two to take care of them. To tell you the truth, I don't much like it either. I'd rather be on firm land. Speaking a little quietly, the man conveyed news of the other's conditions. Taelix and the other woman who was on the trip had both become sea sick within a few hours of them boarding, but the alpha was not too worried. Given another day or so they would recover and would be ready for whatever was going to be thrown at them. Still it made a man nervous to know that not everyone was at their highest peak of health when a vengeful vampire was running on the loose, hoping to kidnap his women and possibly kill him. Looking down to stare into the bottle, he let his thoughts drift off to Dillon, replaying how he thought it would go within his head over and over, trying to convince himself that he was ready when the time came although no one would ever really be able to tell. Ayrn's been over her nightmares for a while now, but occasionally they'll come back. God it's torture to listen to her in her sleep and have to wake her up because you know she'll go on suffering if you don't. Turning his head, he met the other bloke's eyes, silver depths especially serious as he spoke next. I'm ready for this to be over. I want to get this monkey off our backs once and for all. For a moment, he kept his gaze on Dario, hoping that what was not spoken was conveyed through his features before facade again faced forward just before a waitress came by and asked them if they wanted another round. Erix wanted to be the one to take care of Dillon; wanted to be the one to seal off any chance that he would ever come for Ayrn or Pirzi again, but if that was not the case, if he could not be that one, he did not want to let Dillon get away and in telling Dario what he had, Erixic had been asking him to take care of him in the event that the shifter could not.
Bricaza Black* Strides came to a halt as the man's pleading vocals broke through her hunger in response to her confession of the newly formed plans for the Chosen members that had kidnapped them. Looking up into his face, she saw how sincere his vocals were and how much he did not want her to go about it alone and any thought of arguing about the concession he wanted left her mind. Reaching up, she set her palm to his face and grinned at him pleasantly, running her thumb over the stubble that had begun to grow along his chin before answering. I promise. After all, talking about it did not mean a complete change in plans so promising him that they could discuss it at least when they returned would do no harm. With that out of the way, both of them were free to focus upon the breakfast they both dearly wanted. Thankfully, the food and drinks were supplied rather quickly so the damsel was not forced to wait much longer before being able to fill her empty stomach. They finished about the same time and she then pitched him the line she thought was rather ingenious, beaming proudly at his response while nodding excitedly. Yes I did. I wanted to see what all we can do while here. It's my first trip away from home; I intend to make the most of it. She informed him excitedly before looking up with surprise at his face when he stood and offered his hand suddenly, smiling as he asked her why they were waiting. Matching his expression, the maiden rose just as quickly from her chair and took his hand, bouncing along behind him as he led the way to the bottom deck. Once they were there, she took the lead and yanked him along to visit each aquarium, much like she had back home when he had taken her that one day to visit the large aquarium in town. She was examining a strange fish with white and brown stripes that had fins that were split as if they were all separate, trying to figure out why it was called a Lionfish when Ayrn approached and called her attention from the tank, allowing her brow to smooth out its furrows and features to take on a friendly appearance. Smiling in greeting, Bricaza waited patiently for the other woman to speak first, guessing that she must have something to say since she had been the one to approach them. Instantly, her eyes lit up and mask turned ecstatic at the invite and, unable to control her emotions, the girl reached forward and hugged the shifter who was practically a stranger as if she were her best friend. Yes; yes. I would love to accompany you and your daughter. Nodding enthusiastically, she waited till the lady moved to excuse herself before suddenly reaching forward and wrapping her in another hug then shyly let her go and watched as she returned to her man. Turning with bright eyes to Dario the lass let loose a small squeal and practically launched herself at him, squeezing his abdomen tightly while trying to contain her excitement. That was so nice of her! I did not expect it! I am sorry that I won't be having dinner with you tonight, but I can make it up to you tomorrow. I hope you don't mind. Leaning back, and finally letting go, the lass watched her mate apprehensively, wondering what his reaction would be at her accepting the offer without checking to see if he had made plans for them that night already or not. The day could not pass by fast enough for Bri and she spent nearly three hours trying to choose the right clothes, hairstyle, and make-up to wear for that evening. Much to her disbelief, she was more worried about this night than she had been on her first date with Dario. She wanted to be perfect so she could make a good impression on the other women and hopefully be able to call them friends by the end of the evening. Just when she had changed into the green dress for the third time, a knock could be heard upon the door and she rushed to answer it, grinning broadly at the group that stood there in front of her. Hello. Just let me get the key and I'll be ready. Moving quickly back into the room, she snatched one of the spare keys off the dresser and started back towards the door, pausing beside her lover to kiss him sweetly on the cheek. Don't be too terribly lonely without me. Playful lyrics spoke to him as she skirted away, smiling lovingly back at him before joining the girls and heading down the hallway towards dinner. From behind her, she could hear Erixic calling out for Dario and although she had to stifle a giggle as to how he addressed her man, the damsel was glad that he would not be alone for dinner that night.

Ayrn Willems: She could hardly believe that they had an aquarium of this size in the bottom of a ship, some of the things that she had seen on the website before they had left had been spectacular, when she thought of a cruise ship she thought of a ship barely large enough to hold them with a few passengers crammed in getting seasick and horrible food. Not this luxurious boat that was more like a city than anything. It even had a movies theatre, indoor rock climbing wall and many spas and restaurants. All designed to keep them busy during the time that they were on the boat and even then that was not too long either since they would be getting off tomorrow for their first of five day trips that they were allowed the browse the small town, lounge on the beach or do whatever they pleased as long as they were back to board the boat at a certain time. She knew that by the end trip the last island that they would be visiting would be so remote their only choice would be to swim on its shores since it was not inhabited by any humans. That would be interesting to see and maybe explore. Already she was so excited for the rest of the trip. The pack seemed to be quite silent since they had boarded though she knew that it would take them a few days to get their sea legs. Perhaps this had been Dillon's plan. Dario was probably right about him being there when they got off on their first stop, during a time where they had not yet got used to the boat and its layout. She knew that Erixic was probably thinking the same thing so it was not mentioned to him, he did not need to worry right now it was probably on his mind already. Pirzi moved with them to the first tank bending down to look at the small ig fish that looked as though they were straight off Finding Nemo. As she stepped away to talk to Bricaza she could hardly believe that Erix did not notice her missing and continued on with Pirzi a small chuckle was released before she reached her destination asking her if she would like to join them for dinner on the night that was rapidly approaching. She embraced her in a gentle hug that took the woman a little time to respond but the gesture was returned very politely with a smile. Great, I look forward to it. We will leave around 7 is that ok? Once she had nodded an apologetic glance was shot to Dario. Sorry for stealing your lady. She murmered with a small smirk. After one more embrace she was back standing with Erixic and he asked her what she had said to the girl. Oh, I just asked her if she would like to join me and Pirzi tonight for a girl's night dinner. Hope that's alright with you. She murmered and he gave her one of his most charming smiles. As they paused at a window she could feel arms wrap around her from behind and she did not even bother to glance at the fish just relaxed back into his arms with a small sigh. Already the trip seemed to be having its relaxing affect on her and no longer did she carry the tension that was usually present at home on her shoulders. As they continued she noticed that the sun was starting to set signalling the time that they should be getting back to the room to get ready for the evening. Pirzi branched off at her room before theirs, it was right beside theirs with an ajoining door to give her a little more privacy then being in the same room. She trusted the girl enough not to worry about her. Stepping into their room she instantly moved to the room telephone that they had knowing that with the place they intended to go she would need to see if she was able to make a reservation luckily they allowed her to and after she hung up she had a quick shower, blow drying her hair and straightening it once it was dry. She changed from the sundress into a more formal navy blue coloured dress though it was still a cocktail dress that ended at her knees. The front was in a V and there was a thin strand of sparkly crystals that lined the V. On the last shopping trip before the cruise Pirzi had forced her to try it on and she had been stunned by it and had to buy it. The sundress was hung back up on a hanger before she stepped back into the bathroom, hanging the towels that she used up since she did not want to make a mess and pulling out her makeup bag. Her jewellry also being in the bag. She put the necklace that Erixic had given her on followed by a set of diamond stud earings. A thin layer of mascara was applied and a small amount of eyeliner to accentuate emerald coloured optics. Then she was ready. There was a knock on the door that ajoined their room to Pirzis and the younger girl was allowed into their room, she was asking for help with her hair which Ayrn instantly jumped to, helping her fasten it in an updo that she had chosen. She was wearing the dress that Ayrn had bought her on the last day before the trip as well. A silky pale yellow dress that looked stunning with her tanned complexion and darker hair. Soon after they were out the door and met with the girl. Before Ayrn had the chance Pirzi jumped to it. You look stunning. She uttered to Bricaza with a small smile before the good byes were said to the guy Ayrn placed a kiss on Erixic's cheek and Pirzi engulfed him in a large hug and they set off along the hallway. The fancy restaurant on the ship was at the very top level where they needed to go on a glass elevator off the deck to a large upper deck that viewed their entire surroundings high enough that they could see nothing but the scenery around them and none of the parts of the ship. When they got to the deck there was another restaurant there though she did not stop, they were all in nice clothing and this was an outdoor restaurant they did not need to get splashed by the ocean this was intended to be a nice dinner. The up button was pressed in the elevator before waiting for it to arrive. The doors dinged open and the group stepped into the elevator. For her it was a breeze since she and Pirzi were so used to elevator though she glanced to the other girl to see if she was ok knowing that some people did not do well with them and she had not even thought of it when she booked the restaurant. The glass made it so that you could see just how high you were being taken though it was a brief ride where the opposite door to the one that they had gotten in on opened to reveal the stunning restaurant. There was silk table clothes on all the tables and the lights were dim. This did not deter her though as she made her way to the counter. I have a reservation under Willems. The hostess nodded and made a gesture to follow her, the walls, what ones that weren't windows were decorated in rich hues with the booths lined with real leather. She slid next to Pirzi as they reached a booth. As they settled and made their drink orders she then turned to Bricaza. So how long have you and Dario been together, where did you meet? She then paused for a moment second guessing herself, what if this girl did not want to answer such invasive questions. Forgive my curiousity, I hold Dario in a very high regard. Especially after living in the castle that he owned in Africa and him saving my life. You two seem perfectly matched. She uttered gently. Wondering if by now she was babbling. Pirzi had never heard the story of her living in Hitari and by now was eyeing her but did not comment at the dinner table, she knew that she had a lot to tell the girl but that would all come with time after they were done adjusting to their lives.
Dario Lombardi: He sensed the presence of the shifters long before he actually even saw them. He and Bricaza were standing at the fish tank observing the so called Lion fish that looked nothing like a lion when his eyes fell on the stunning pair and their daughter as they entered. He did not disturb her and a small wave was uttered in their direction in a polite manner. When the girl started to approach. Without Erixic so he was a little curious as to what she was going to do when she gathered his mates attention and spoke. Asking her if she would like to come for a girls night dinner with them later tonight and apologizing half heartedly in his direction though he could not hide the smile that crossed his face. He knew that this was exactly what Bri needed to feel a little more secure in the outside world beyond her tribe was a couple of people to take her under their wing. She could not think of a better person than Ayrn to do so. He looked at the shifter that she had taken on as a daughter and it must have not been too long ago and the girl looked perfectly adjusted and happy. Even treating Ayrn's boyfriend as her own father. Amazing really to him. When she apologized he shrugged. I suppose I could allow you to have my lady for one night. He said with a small smile moving to kiss her forehead though she had wiggled out of his grips long before that happened to hug the other girl. When she was gone back to her family Bri spoke to him telling him how nice it was for the girl to ask and saying that she was sorry that she was deserting him for the night but would make it up to him tomorrow. It was very nice. I am sure the more you get to know them the more you will like them, its good for you to be around people that were similiar to you. No need to apologize but tomorrow, you are all mine. He uttered gently with a small smile as he slung an arm around her shoulders. He knew that she would be nervous and would want a lot of time to get ready so as soon as the day started to get to be a little later they headed back to the room. Arm never leaving her shoulders as he pressed the key into the lock, they had been given two so he turned to her. Heres the spare key for our room in case you get back before me. Also here is a credit card. If you have any want to buy anything then do. All they do is swipe it and then you have to press four digits, the code is 4352. He gave her the instructions before moving off to let her get ready and sit on the couch. He did not turn the TV on, just simply sat allowing his body the time to relax, once she was ready he stood and his jaw nearly dropped to the floor. Hmmm, I don't know if I can let you go out like that. Perhaps you would reconsider and just stay in with me for the night. He said with a small chuckle. You look beautiful. He uttered gently wrapping his arms around her and not allowing her to go to the door for a moment. He had changed into a pair of dress pants with black shoes and a grey polo shirt appropriate he assumed for the evening. He spotted Erixic at the door and he guessed that he had been right to assume that he would be spending the evening with the shifter and not alone so that was a nice thought. He kissed Bri on the cheek as she passed by him looking excited to be out with the other two girls. He was glad, that was what he liked to see from her. Eyes were rolled and a small chuckle emitted when the other male asked if he was ready for their date. You wish. I am wayy out of your league. He stated in a playful manner before stepped out of the room to shake the mans hand and locking the door behind him. As he grabbed a beer of a different assortment for himself he stood beside the man instantly getting to business as he stated that his pack had fallen in. To tell the truth I believe the smaller amount of people involved the better. I have never worked as a team. But for this case I made an exception. The more people involved the more chance there is that someone will slip up. Not meaning to but quite frankly this might work to our advantage. He stated as he leaned on the railing looking out over the night sky that made it impossible to see if the water just continued or if there was land around them. He had adjusted almost instantly to the cruise, sure he felt a little queasy as the motion was disturbed by a larger wave but he knew he did not have the time to be sick and he trained himself that way. I know what thats like. He uttered softly. Though it will be over, once and for all soon. He sighed for a moment. When we land on that island tomorrow, he will be there. I know him too well and I know that he will take the advantage of us not being used to the ship and layout and some of your pack being ill, I am positive he already knows I am here. Perhaps you will consider a strategy I have thought of. The pack that is not ill needs to protect Ayrn and Pirzi perhaps Bri can distract them to do something girly, that leaves just us. I can understand that you will want to be the one to get even but I will remain as back up, I know it is going to probably take both of us. He uttered softly listening to what the man had to say.

Erixic Matthews| A mock injured expression flashed across the masculine features at the other's declaration before the laughter that rose within his chest forced him to abandon it. And here I was thinking it was the other way around, night-walker. Vocals challenged right back just as they made their way down the hall. After they both ordered their preferred version of alcohol, the conversation instantly picked up. Ordinarily, Erixic would find it hard to talk to anyone besides Ayrn or his pack about business like this, but words surprisingly flowed easily from his mouth to meet Dario's ears. Head bobbed as the bloke readily agreed with all that the vampire was saying, quickly forgetting that they were supposed to be enemies as the laws of culture defined them. The shifter had a limited insight in his companion's past affairs and determined quite quickly that he did not want to have the whole story or otherwise risk dislodging the ease of their acquaintance. As alpha, it was his duty to constantly worry of what harm could befall his pack and the presence of a immortal creature known to be a dangerous hazard to any species would certainly be the first to set off the protective instinct that resided so close to the chest so if he wanted to keep the relationship relaxed and cooperative, it was best that his curiosity remained in check for he was sure the vampire would not be so open as to reveal himself before anyone without the proper prodding. Even with knowledge in short supply, it made sense that the only work Dario had ever done was solo. Most of his species lived within a coven, but would hunt and kill on their own. It was as if the human need for companionship won out up until the point where the thirst caused their animal instincts to go into hyper drive. Erix was used to working in a pack and therefore had quite a few experiences where teamwork was involved so he was not worried about this fault at all. Instead, he was comforted by knowing that his partner in this was intelligent and good at whatever it was he did so he would be able to adjust himself in order to work in a setting that involved other people who were on your side. Quietly, he listened to the theory that was presented, all but forgetting his beer that his grip held loosely out over the balcony. Not surprisingly, he was pleased to learn that their thinking on the subject was nearly exactly equal leaving nothing to be argued over between two battle tuned minds. Well, we certainly won't have the element of surprise in that case, but I was not really counting on that. He's too well connected for your participation to give us that sort of edge. Sighing, he shifted his weight until arms he stood straight looking across the ocean, no longer leaning with his arms upon the railing. One hand did continue to hold contact with the metal but the other lifted the glass bottle to his lips as the baron look a long swig, finishing off what he had left before turning his head to look at the man beside him. My pack will not be happy with that plan nor will our women, but I think it is the best strategy we have. He will be expecting us to use all available resources and limiting the number down to two will perhaps surprise him enough to give us a small edge. Nodding, he silently agreed to the rest of what was said, pondering some as he tried to think of how to distract the girls. Should we keep them on the boat or allow them to go on land? I want them as far away from him as possible, but worry they may be trapped if they stay on board whereas on land they would be freer to find an escape route. How's your bank account? It may be hurting after this. We can send them shopping; they are women after all and will sniff out any store around if we set them on the trail. I think that would be the best way to distract them. Sharing his suggestion, the male glanced up as one of the waitresses walked by and flagging her down, he ordered another drink just as he caught a whiff of grilling steak from the restaurant on the other side of the bar. Since the girls are eating, we might as well also and those steaks smell like they are just what I've been craving. Chuckling some, he moved to the restaurant where he got a steak and the pair of them continued mapping out their plan for the next day when the boat was to make port at the first island stop while eating. After they were finished, they returned to their rooms and as he walked in the door, Erixic caught a glimpse of Ayrn taking off her makeup and jewelry in the bathroom mirror and moved into the space to step up behind her with his arms around her waist, watching fondly with interest while she changed from the stunning night beauty to his beloved girlfriend. Bending his head, he laid a line of kisses along her neck from the edge of her collarbone to her ear and with a playful growl latched onto her lobe with his teeth. Grinning innocently at her in the mirror the man ended his teasing with a swift kiss on the cheek. Come on to bed babe. Deep lyrics coaxed sleepily as he let his touch leave her hips so he could retire to the main room, stripping his shirt from his body as he did so. Pants soon followed and the clothes were tossed casually into a pile in his empty suitcase before he climbed into bed, waiting on her patiently to turn out the lights and join him on the mattress. Once she did, arms engulfed her as usual and the bloke fell almost straight to sleep after kissing her on the temple tenderly and whispering words of love against her hair.
Bricaza Black* A pleased little grin was hidden playfully from him in response to his declaration that the next night she would belong to him as that familiar warm feeling spread from her core to the very tips of extremities. With his arm resting comfortably upon her shoulders, they finished their rounds in the aquarium then made their way back to the room. Quietly, she listened to him as he handed her two cards: one for the room and the other which she assumed held money somehow because he told her she could use it to buy things. Shooting him a skeptical look before glancing down at the card, the damsel shifted a little uncomfortably and kept only a loose hold upon the plastic. You do not need to give this to me. I do not buy many things. Besides, I do not want to use your money. Speaking although she knew already that he would refute any attempt she made at returning the credit card, the girl was forced to be satisfied with the determination that she would only use it if she absolutely needed to and put it in her silver clutch that she had brought along with the room key. For the next few hours, the credit card dilemma was forgotten as she fussed and fussed over her appearance until upon walking out of the bathroom in order to change into another dress, the male made his way over to her and caught her up in a tight hug, squeezing a happy squeal and playful giggle from her lips; instantly bringing about the end of musical dresses when he expressed how beautiful he thought she looked. I have already made plans! She exclaimed, trying not to laugh harder than what she already was, glancing over her shoulder at him with a smile. And what fiancé of yours would I be if I canceled them last minute? Vocals teased just as they could hear the knock upon the door. With some effort and another couple spurts of laughter, she wiggled out of his grasp, shooting an accusatory look back at him as she was finally free, and answered the door. Seeing it was who they were expecting, she quickly retreated back into the room to grab her clutch and kiss the man goodbye before joining the ladies and walking with them down the hall. A very polite and slightly shy smile was turned to the younger lass as she offered a compliment, helping the lady to stop fidgeting with the way the dress was fitted to her body and relax. Thank you. You both look wonderful. I suppose you were more prepared than me for this sort of dinner. Nervously, she released a short burst of laughter, but again fell silent, glancing all around them at their surroundings till they came to a stop beside two metal doors that looked like the machine in Dario's old apartment building. Feeling the sense of dread build within her as she watched Ayrn press the button and Bri tried to force it away and managed to draw in enough courage to walk into the space calmly behind the others. Once they left the deck the fea had to close her eyes however as the metal walls fell away, leaving glass that showed exactly how high you were. She did well the rest of the ride with her lids shut over depths, but she was glad when the elevator ding went off again and they stepped out into the restaurant. The sight literally stole her breath and she continued to gap at it while they were lead to their table. Finally, once she was seated the fatal was able to control her wonder and turned attention to the waitress that came almost immediately upon them sitting down to take their drink orders. With a smile, she ordered water then looked back to Ayrn whenever the woman had left their table and her question rang out into the air. Grinning shyly at the choice of subject, the girl glanced down at her hands folded in her lap to stare at the ring upon her finger for a moment before glancing back up. Thank you; I would like to think that we are. There is nothing to forgive; I'm sure by the end of the night you will tire of my questions the least I can do is satisfy some of yours. I believe I have been with him for a few months. Not all that long compared to most relationships. I found him one day in the forest on my tribe's reservation and we have not been separated for very long since. Pausing, the girl shifted her gaze to the waitress as she returned with their drinks and asked if they were ready to order. Quickly, the girl opened the menu and glanced at the list of foods, ordering the first that she saw which she liked. As I'm sure you've noticed Dario and I got engaged right before leaving to join you on this trip. How about you and Erixic? How long have you known him? Once the others and the waitress departed once again, the lass voiced her own curiosity, politely waiting for her to answer with an intrigued look reflected in emerald irises.

Ayrn Willems: As they walked down the hallway to where they would getting on the elevator to the next floor and where the restaurant was Bri stated that they might have been a little more well prepared for the evening. She shook her head with a small smile. Even if we were better prepared no would would ever guess it. She stated lightly. A welcoming smile was shot in her direction noticing that she was a little nervous going up the elevator though she was not about to embarrass her and pretended as if she did not notice when they reached the top eyes were cast out over the ocean to admire the horizon. It was stunning view and she relaxed into the seat when they sat at the booth against the wall closest to the window. Pirzi seemed to be interested in the questions that passed between the two of them since she had not been around many of her own kind so this was a completely new situation for her. It was nice for her to meet someone that was so willing to answer the questions and was so differently raise then Ayrn. When Ayrn asked where she had met Dario she found that the one question made her even more curious about the girl as she stated that she had met him in the woods of the reservation where she lived. It was clear that she was Native American but she wondered if the rest of the tribe were of her kind or if she was the only one. She took a sip of her drink when it arrived at the table and was placed in front of her before she turned her attention to the question that Bri had asked her. Well we have been together I guess a year and a half now, but we just got back together we broke up for 6 months and before that we were engaged, we went through a little rough patch but we are all good now. She stated. They ordered their meals when the waitress came back and the rest of the night consisted of small talk until their meal came and napkin was placed on her lap before she excused herself to go to the washroom where she secretely made her way to the front of the restaurant where she paid for their entire meal before turning back to the table and finishing their meal before standing and realizing they should get back to their rooms since they would have an early start to the morning the next day. They left the restaurant and she turned. My treat, thank you so much for coming with me. She stated with a smile towards the girl as they reached the elevator and were emitted onto the deck before returning to their rooms she paused for a moment. We should do this again, it was fun. I don't have many friends that are women. She uttered gently before stepping into the room again and shedding the dress at the door of the bathroom changing into shorts and a loose shirt and brushing her teeth and washing her face before Erix appeared behind her and wrapped his arms around her. The playful growl appealed to the females wolf senses before he told her to come to bed and a small smile appeared. As soon as she was finished she jogged into the other room taking a leap onto the bed with a cheeky grin plastered to her face before pulling up the covers and relaxing into a comfortable state with the man. Murmering into her hair he fell asleep and she smiled lightly, she knew that he had a busy day coming up tomorrow so she did not disturb him and jumped up when she awoke the next morning to make sure that she did not disturb him. She pulled on a pair of shorts and a tank top before stepping out the door and into the hallway to grab breakfast from the restaurant that was close to their room and bring it back to the room.
Dario Lombardi: Eyes were rolled as he was called a night walker. Yet another term referring to vampires, though it was true that a lot of their work had to be carried out at night it was not like in the vampire movies where they would turn to ash in the daylight when the sun hit them. Something that had been portrayed in quite a few different movies though it was nothing more then a dramatization that sold to the crowds. When they reached the bar he realized that if he was not so stressed and ready to deal with the threat that he knew was coming tomorrow that this would be the definition of a perfect trip. Wind that was still warm from the tropics flitted over the deck and through the thin summery fabric that he wore as he leaned over the rail and stood with his beer. He tried to size up what the other male was thinking as he spoke about what he thought that the plan should be. He expected that Erixic would find a fault in him and tell him no and that he would refuse to do anything but work with the entire pack after all that had been why he had brought them though to his suprise he seemed to understand and think that it was a good idea. After all they both agreed that the most important would be keeping the girls safe since Ayrn was the target of this attack and therefore would be the one that the other male would be going after the most. With a vampire that was this well connected there would be no way that they ever should have thought that they would have the element of suprise. Damien had told him that the man had even found out about Pirzi himself long before he would have ever seen Ayrn with her and approached her and talked to her before the attack, so therefore he had been keeping tabs on Ayrn for who knows how long. He nodded when the man finished speaking. Well I know you will agree with me saying that the most important part of this mission is to keep the girls safe. He thought for a moment when he asked what he thought about letting the girls onto land or keeping them on the boat. Well I think you would have a very hard time telling them that they were not allowed to get out on the first stop, plus with the staff being spies I don't want to risk them relaying that the girls are onboard to him. Land would be much better and shopping would be good because he will not do anything in such a public place. Hopefully by the time they are finished shopping we will have dealt with him. As for my bank account. I wish I could force her to spend my money. They planned a little more as he finished his beer before Erixic announced that they should go and eat since the girls were eating as well and he nodded.They took a sat in the restaurant portion he accepted another beer as the waitress took his order craving the steak that they both had been able to smell from across the deck and they sat making last minute plans and discussing strategy before he stood and paid his portion of the bill knowing the man would not allow him to pay for his before they said their goodbyes and walked back to their rooms, he paused in front of the door promising to check in with him in the morning right after he woke knowing that the time they were expected to reach the island was at noon before stepping into the room and shedding the clothes to be left in sweatpants and shirtless before laying on the couch and flicking the TV on. When the door opened he jumped easily to his feet steps carrying him immediately to the girl in the door way. Have fun? He asked gently whispering to her as arms wrapped around her from behind and kisses were placed on the base of her neck close to her shoulder. Would you be interested in going shopping with Ayrn tomorrow? Maybe even go looking for a wedding dress? He suggested with a raise of his eye brows and a small smile. Come to bed. He uttered gently before quickly moving into the bathroom and brushing his teeth before moving across the room and climbing beneath the covers waiting for her to join him and murmering good night. I love you. Bri. He uttered making sure that he told her that everynight before engulfing her in his arms.
