Re: Pay with Blood (May be R)

[Chaosmazer]

Daniel was happy. "And with luck... no other shifters will have to suffer what you have... Lith... would you like to explain what happened, the deal with the humans?" he said. He put his arms around Lith once she was done hugging the two of them. Markus grinned. "We are going to be alright..." he said. "I know that Lupa is watched over us... we thank her for that..." he said.

[Tierra]

"Well come in and make yourselves at home" she said she hugged Daniel "We have made an agreement, we can only change at full moon, the day before and the day after. In return we can stay and wont be hunted" she said "sounds good to me" she said.

[Chaosmazer]

Daniel nodded. "It is a good deal... at at least every now and then, we can change..." he said. "However, I worry that some humans won't live up to their end of the bargain... Lith... does the rest of the pack know yet?" he asked her. "Some of them might not like the rules, but... they will have to deal with it... if one of them breaks it... it might ruin all credibility that we have..." he said.

Markus nodded. "He's right... Lupa knows that we don't want another incident..." he said. He looked to the girls... hoping that they would never be a victim to what had happened...

[Tierra]

"I worry some of us wont keep to the bargain" she said "I have sent word round" she said "We will have to watch out... or..." she smiled "I'll have to go to the islands for a while" she said "I have a plan" she said.

Mera looked to the children and smiled as they bounced around the couches.

[Chaosmazer]

Daniel looked to Lith a bit curious. "What kind of plan?" he asked her. "I hope that... well... things will go better..." he said. "That the rest of the pack with only shift on the safe days..." he said.

Markus watched the girls as well, Then to Mera... he held her hand lightly, feeling blessed that she was ok...

[Tierra]

she nodded "You'll see" she said "I just need to study a bit" she said.

Mera held Markus's hand and smiled at him. She was lucky to be there with them and alive.

[Chaosmazer]

Daniel nodded. He trusted her. "Just be careful..." he said. He picked out a leaf that she missed, he quickly put it in his pocket, not wanting to embarrass her.

Markus didn't see it... but he was curious as to what Lith was going to do. "I would be happy to help, I have access to a large number of books..." he offered.

[Tierra]

"I will, You know that" she said. She laughed as he took a leaf from her hair, she watched him put it in his pocket "Saving that for something dear?" she asked. She turned to Markus "That would be a good help" she said.

[Chaosmazer]

He kissed her quickly. "Nothing, just memories..." he said quietly with a little smile. However he was still curious as to what she was doing. "I know you will be fine... I just... well... I worry about you..." he said.

Markus smiled. "Just say the word as to what topic you want... I have many books stashed away, and many more I can get from a few friends..." he said.

[Tierra]

She held back a laugh "We'll talk about this later.." she said to him. "I'll come by later and have a look thank you" she said.

Mera sat back and held Markus's hand "So what did I miss?" she asked.

[Chaosmazer]

Daniel smiled. "Well, a whole lot of worrying about you" he said. "For starters at least... we also went for a run last night... if you want to get in a run, you might want to go tonight or you'll miss your chance." he said

Markus nodded. "Alright, I'll have to dig up some of them, I have a lot of them just stashed away in the basement..." he said.

[Tierra]

"Tonight's you last chance for another month" Lith said looking to Daniel with a sly look.

"I know I felt the moon strong last night" Mera said looking to Markus "A run would be nice" she smiled "next full moon can we run as a pack?" she asked "Wolves aren't solo creatures you know" she said looking at Daniel then to Lith.

[Chaosmazer]

Daniel caught on to Lith's look. He blushed lightly, happy she was thinking the same thing as he... let the wild take control and mate under the moonlight... it would be wonderful. "Er, of course, next month, we go as a pack, run, reconnect with everyone..." he said.

Markus nodded. He wanted to run with Mera again, happy that she was feeling good enough to do that.

[Tierra]

She held back her laughed and nodded "It would be good to re-count our numbers" she said "It's a shame we can't hunt here" she said.

[Chaosmazer]

Daniel thought for a moment. "Well... maybe... maybe we can search for a place to hunt where it would be safe." he said.

Markus thought a moment. "Hmm... it would have to be across the island... a place where the humans never go..." he said. "But it would be worth it, to hunt as a pack once more.

[Tierra]

She nodded "The big islands should be ok" she said. The children looked at them all oddly being new to the shifter life and not at the mature age to change yet.

"The big islands have people but lots of game, where as the small ones are the other way round less game but no people" said Mera. She nodded "yeah I haven't seen the boys in some time" she said.

[Chaosmazer]

Daniel thought a moment, "Hopefully... we can find a place... somewhere to hunt... it would do the pack good not to fall out of practice..." he said. Daniel looked to Mera and Markus, just happy that she was still alive. "Lith... would it be alright if Markus and Mera had dinner with us tonight, just as a celebration to good health?" he asked.

[Tierra]

Lith smiled warmth "No need to ask, our home is always welcome to them." she said. "Indeed we may need to open a few bottles and go for a run" she said looking down at the leaf peeping out of Daniel's pocket.

[Chaosmazer]

Daniel was happy. "What do you say girls, can Uncle Markus and Aunt Mera stay with us for a bit?" he asked. He already knew their answers. Aleisha spoke. "Only if Aunt Mera says she won't get hurt again..." she said stubbornly. Daniel just laughed.

[Tierra]

Sabe walked over to Markus and looked up at him "Knee?" she asked lifting her arms up so he could pick her up.

"I think I can agree to that" Mera said tapping Aleisha softly on the nose.

Lith laughed "Don't be so pushy Aleisha" she said "But you are right I think Aunty Merr needs to stop getting hurt".

[Chaosmazer]

Markus smiled down at Sabe, "Come here little girl." he said laughing, picking her up and setting her on his knee. Aleisha looked to Mera. "Ok..." she then got the same idea as her sister. "Hug?" she asked.

Daniel laughed. "Well, the little ones seem to be happy enough with them staying..." he said with a laugh.

[Tierra]

Mera smiled and Pick Aleisha up to sit on her knee as she cuddled her. Sabe pulled a funny face "Copy Cat" she said to her sister.

Lith laughed "Who couldn't be happy?" she said. "We were all worried for you Mera".

[Chaosmazer]

Aleisha giggled as her sister called her a copy cat. She didn't mind, she did get the idea from her after all, so it was true.

Daniel ran his fingers through Lith's hair, almost as if looking for more leaves to pick out. smiling, remembering the fun they had last night...

[Tierra]

Sabe folded her arms and poked her tongue out at Aleisha.

Lith smiled and kissed Daniel's cheek softly knowing what he was doing.

Mera smiled at the little ones "We should go get ready then. For our dinner party" she said looking to Markus "We want to look pretty for our girls" she said.

[Chaosmazer]

Daniel looked to Lith, smiling, "Now girls, don't pick on each other... and come on. We have to let them go for now. They'll be back for dinner." he said calling them over.

Aleisha was about to stick her tongue out at Sabe, but dad told her to stop picking... he hugged Mera once more then climbed down. "Bye." she said.

Markus nodded. "Right... We'll see you girls later... promise..." he said hugging Sabe. "I'll have on a nice suit, what do you think about that?" he said to the girls.
